Titanfall: The best FPS of 2014

"Titanfall is the most finely tuned, well balanced shooter in years."

"Titanfall seems to now reside in the background, as other games like Destiny and Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare command centre stage "

Gaz from GameOnDaily discusses why he thinks Titanfall is the best FPS of 2014.

Titanfall is not better than destiny or Cod: AW. Farcry 4 is way better than Titanfall, for a start.

Gazondaily3430d ago

Care to explain why COD:AW is better than Titanfall Dan?

SuperDan-Dare3430d ago

COD has a multiplayer element AND a single player mode... Titanfall can't say the same.

FriedGoat3430d ago

I totally agree, I have Titanfall on PC and it was a real disappointment.

Volkama3430d ago

Ergo Haze is better than Titanfall. SuperDan-Dare wins.

Who's next?

Gazondaily3430d ago

Just because COD has an extra game mode doesn't make it better ¬¬

That billion dollar franchise is still running peer 2 peer connections. That's just downright pathetic in this day and age.

nX3430d ago

Titanfall is CoD:AW with (pretty stupid) bots and without a campaign or a coop mode. Not to mention that the online mode of Advanced Warfare has more content and depth than Titanfall.

danthegamerfiend3430d ago

Titanfall is a hollow shell. The guns are boring, the abilities are boring, and the mechs are really boring. The only sense of progression is through the same boring prestige system cod had since cod4. At least cod and destiny have more to offer then just Mechwarrior team death match. Sorry to bash it hard but I did play this game during beta and launch.

Volkama3430d ago

Titanfall has way more fluid and fun movement than COD, and better level design. Otherwise they are pretty similar, but yeah quality dedicated servers is enough to elevate TF into a different league.

gangsta_red3430d ago

I love how everyone thinks that a game needs a single player mode.

What if the single player mode was rushed, and a complete garbage experience. Would the game get higher points from these same people?

The focus was on multiplayer, this is where the meat of any of these types of games are.

InTheLab3430d ago

Has a ton more content and is not dependent on gimmicks like the Titans. I know fans of the game love that aspect of it but for me, it really kills objective play. I really wish they would have taken the time to flesh out pilot only mode and created levels for pilots but they were clearly on a tight budget when they pumped this out. On the flip side, once CoD works out the lag/glitches, it will probably be everyone's go to shooter again or at least one they play in between TMCC or Destiny. The game is just fun and has enough content to keep you coming back and that's something Titanfall lacks.

The thing that really stands out and what you really have to ask yourself is what were Respawn working on in the years after MW2. They've been working on this game longer than Bungie was on Destiny and while Destiny has its issues, it's at least packed with more content.

Realistically, Farcry is lightyears better than Destiny, CoD, and Titanfall.The competitive modes are much more interesting and less gimmicky. The challenges alone blow away the other shooters this year and the story? Titanfall has no story. You're just shooting s**t to shoot it. CoD is absurd as usual. Destiny's story is pathetic but still there.

Now, my opinion would probably change a bit if Titanfall was $20 DLC like Blacklight or CSGO because it has about the same content as both of those games. It's fun for a few weeks and then it's not.

I'd probably rank it in this order....

Farcry 4
Wolfenstein TNO
Cod AW
Destiny
Titanfall

I just don't feel comfortable rewarding half assed efforts.

Foehammer3430d ago

The reviews are in at metacritic

TF...86
COD...83
FarCry 4...85

Like the article says, TF wins

Had to search article to see if there was any mention of wolfenstein before I read it. Not there, here's a hint. Go play all the fps games of 2014 then talk cause wolfenstein kicks the shit out of all of them

Gazondaily3430d ago

Sorry but I thought Wolfenstein was terrible.

PoSTedUP3430d ago

i heard titan fall was good fun. not my cup of tea, but then again neither is destiny. and cod isnt cod when everyone is flying around in jetpacks, but then again cod lost it's footing a long time ago when it was on the ground. and KZ:SF, more of my style, nothing amazing tho. i havent played far cry 4. id give this year to titan fall, 2014 wasnt anything special anyways.

FriedGoat3430d ago

Don't want jetpacks? Play classic mode.
Either way, neither Cod or titanfall ain't that great.

Mechanics for me go to Destiny, although it gets a lot of hate, can definitely say I've put more into that game.

PoSTedUP3430d ago

eh, still seems like they strayed even further away from my liking. i bet id like farcry 4, #3 was so good imo. still waiting on a metroid prime game.

Bennibop3430d ago

Titanfall has no longterm appeal, was great fun at launch but was ultimately very shallow and lacking in content.

corroios3430d ago

This game is really bad for gamers. A game without almost any content and no sp. It seems like more like a DLC then a retail game.

Volkama3430d ago

Anything that brings me closer to a focused multiplayer FPS like Quake 3 is not bad for gamers. Or if it is... screw those gamers.

Gazondaily3430d ago

"Anything that brings me closer to a focused multiplayer FPS like Quake 3 is not bad for gamers"

YES! THIS!!

Kribwalker3430d ago

You are making to much logical sense, and that just might break this illogical site

FriedGoat3430d ago (Edited 3430d ago )

Get lost, don't even put Titanfall and Quake 3 in the same sentence.

Titanfall to Quake 3 is like Sonic Boom to Mario 64.

Volkama3430d ago

@Friedgoat calm down chick, I didn't say Titanfall was as good as Quake 3. I love Quake 3.

I said anything that brings us closer is a good thing, and insisting on a COD campaign for every FPS is not going to bring us closer to the game I want.

tlougotg3430d ago (Edited 3430d ago )

Dont know how you have so many bubbles with your stealth trolling and bs smh

Titanfall got boring quick and was way overhyped, like many have said before COD AW heck imo even Kz SF mp is better. Just because ppl are criticizing the game on your console of choice you come with your little propaganda lol I see through you man, your not fooling us.

Volkama3430d ago (Edited 3430d ago )

I know how you have so few bubbles.

My console of choice is all 3 consoles. And I actually play Titanfall on the PC. Same for Quake 3, the game I was actually praising in the comment you tried to jump on.

Now get back in your hole.

For me TF is the best FPS of the year because of its legacy. So many games now offer double-jumping verticality and gameplay freedom instead of -- and we have TF to thank for that.

Oh, and the finely-tuned perfectly-honed gameplay is kind of important. As someone who plays shooters because I love the gameplay, not because of pointless metagame/upgrades/progression, I've kept playing simply since I'm having a blast. Just my 2c.

WeAreLegion3430d ago

You want to thank Titanfall for that? Not Tribes?

FriedGoat3430d ago

Young gamers.... No idea what they're talking about.

3430d ago
Spotie3430d ago (Edited 3430d ago )

As legion says, Titanfall is a decade or more late to that party.

And the overall lack of content is pretty glaring, especially when you consider the lack of an offline mode of any sort.

Although the late 2000s Turok wasn't my favorite, I would love a new entry. Open world survival with shotguns and dinosaurs. Not sure how we'd get the fusion cannon, but that would be pretty sweet too.

MadLad584d ago

Lol

All of these games are pretty much universally praised. Outside of Timeshift I literally own all of these.

Venoxn4g584d ago (Edited 584d ago )

XIII, The Darkness 2, Far Cry: Blood Dragon, Timesplitters: future perfect, Bulletstorm are awesome games

An ode to Titanfall: The last twitch shooter I'll probably ever enjoy

Windows Central: "Titanfall 1 is being sunset, taken off storefronts by EA. While the servers remain live for now, one has to wonder just how much time it has left. I look back and pay tribute to the last "twitch"-styled shooter I ever truly loved."

Respawn Entertainment is Discontinuing Sales of Original Titanfall

Sales for the original Titanfall are being discontinued.
It will be pulled from subscription services on March 1, 2022.

Ethereal865d ago

Physical media. Unfortunately the way games are going these days game servers will eventually be shut down and you can stare at the menu and wish you could play the game again.

littletad865d ago

This is why reading is so important. Nothing to do with digital or physical media. The game, which is online only, is being delisted because of DDOS and other hacker attacks. The case got so bad that only six players in the world log on. For PC. Rather than fix it, they continued to sell the game, broken as it is, and only now just decided to call it quits. But please, go on thinking what you will.

Ethereal863d ago

I'm aware of the DDOS attacks and that this case is not typical. This game would eventually have it's servers shutdown regardless of the current situation so that is a moot point. My comment was in a general sense and that there are instances in which games can be preserved physically when official support ends.

Let's recap your first sentence. I said, "the way GAMES are going these days" indicating a broader stroke than just this game. I agree, reading IS important. I was simply stating the obvious downsides of the digital marketplaces and online only trends in games these days. I could even make the argument that the online only offering which has allowed hacker manipulation has impacted the preservation of this great game. My comment is valid in the general sense and thank you for your permission to continue to think what I will.
