OXM - OK, I can see where all this is coming from. Respawn has never outright described Titanfall as a big team shooter, but that's a fair deduction to make of the developer's E3 and Gamescom demonstrations, rife as they are with cloud-powered AI grunts that are easily confused with players at a glance. Moreover, the maps are pretty roomy - they're built to accommodate robots the size of buildings - and the premise is that you're fighting a full-blown interplanetary war, vividly communicated by the sight of enormous starfleets in the announcement video.
Popularized by Doom in 1993 and still making video game haters gnash their teeth today, first-person shooter games are the best thing to happen to gamers since pizza rolls. So here are 15 underrated first-person shooter games you may have missed.
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.
Lol
All of these games are pretty much universally praised. Outside of Timeshift I literally own all of these.
XIII, The Darkness 2, Far Cry: Blood Dragon, Timesplitters: future perfect, Bulletstorm are awesome games
I played them all, they are all good in their own way
I used to be obsessed with FPS games
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."
Sales for the original Titanfall are being discontinued.
It will be pulled from subscription services on March 1, 2022.
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.
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.
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.
I'm starting to think 2014 may be the year of small-scale multiplayer. Evolve, Destiny (yes, I'm aware it has trad PvP), The Division (delayed?) and others are trying to make more intimate kinds of multiplayer experience rather than just throwing numbers at the wall.
oxm to the rescue:
"The Grunts aren't supposed to be a substitute for human beings: they're cannon fodder that can be farmed for easy XP, which helps ease greener players into the game."
Whatever happened to playing people better than you to get better? and also what happened to games with difficulty, skill, and a learning curve? I dont want games to hold my hand. Also at the end of the article they couldn't forget to damage control these parts of the game
"It also doesn't need to be 1080p. How's that for a segue? Oh, and here's a chat with Respawn about why there's no single player mode."
Denial with this one is strong.
So, 6v6 with a huge robot each we get after our personal timers reach zero. You can decrease this timer with damage to titans, kills and objectives. You can have more than one in a single spawn (Call in another after your first is destroyed). The AI are soldiers. Grunts. Players are the highly skilled, highly valued pilots, scooting through the air high above. The AI soldiers move from spawn to objective (For the most part) allowing players to follow them there, or they'll follow a friendly pilot as they ride their titan to VICTORY!
Apparently the smaller robots can come in to help hold objectives once captured. Might help stop the boredom of reaching an objective behind enemy lines and sitting there quietly until it captures.
dont worry, the game will be epic for sure. and non-stop action.
How can the game not be 1080p it's source engine. My crappy radeon can do 1080p and it's not half the card the xbox has.
