The power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who have not got it.

The problem with shooters, and some other games too, nowadays is that there's simply not enough variety and innovation. Back in the day people were not afraid to try new things, implement interesting features, design their games in a way that set them apart from all the others in the genre.

Now that we've seen some titles come and go, we kind of know what works, what sells and what doesn't. Considering the budget of some AAA games these days, it's no wonder th...

There's no reason to be offended by my post unless you're a drooling fanboi who reacts in this way to comments about Titanfall: "It boils down to the fact that titanfall can be played everywhere, but the PS4." No, not everyone who doesn't worship Titanfall as the harbinger of next-gen games is a hateful, jealous PS4 fanboi. I thought I'd mention that I'm a PC gamer so you wouldn't knee-jerk assume that I must be a Sony fanboi. I know ...

It might not be the cloud, but this Titanfall related drivel does sound like he's selling something. It's just cluelessness and rabid fanboism speaking in this case.

The author alleges that the bots somehow couldn't work on past-gen, even though we've seen bots and turrets and all kinds stuff in all kinds of games before. They're non-features, there's nothing exciting or new about them. He's taking a really crappy thing, tu...

You're probably not, unfortunately. Save us the think of the children bs and take a minute to ask yourself a couple questions: How many children die every day? How many of those deaths are the result of a premeditated action? How many of those deaths are reported on? Why did the media pick up on this story specifically and not the others? Am I as sensitive about all the children whose deaths are not reported by the media? Can I do anything to prevent some o...

Ego shooter? It's not an old term, it's a dumb term that some people chose to use when referring to FPS games for some unknown reason, even though the acronym FPS had already existed. It sounds idiotic and, fortunately, it didn't stick.

Technically, kids are not allowed to play games until a certain maturity is reached if a certain maturity is required -- that's what the ratings are for. A lot of kids play adult games, I know I have, and it never made me stab ...

You went a little too crazy with the k's there, mister. It's either sceptical or skeptical.

And 8.4? It's a cellphone port. How can you call it a speed MOBA? So what the rounds don't last as long and the maps are tiny? The gameplay is so unbearably slow that the game's just painful to play.

Your last bubble and you've just wasted it on making wrong assumptions, being vague and using ad hominem attacks rather than presenting any actual arguments. What a shame.

I've never even owned a Playstation and my PC can handle Titanfall on its highest settings just fine. Why wouldn't it? The game looks like COD. It should run just fine on hardware from a few years ago. If it doesn't, it only means it's badly optimized.

I've played th...

That's the stupidest thing I've read all day. You can make the same argument about every element of the game and justify every idiotic design decision by saying it can be used strategically. It also kinda reminds of what people who liked slower-paced FPSes would often say. No, making the games slower, introducing newbie-friendly features like aim-assist, bots, perks etc. does not make them more strategic - it makes them MORE NEWBIE-FRIENDLY. It's all done so that the games appeal ...

Easy. Because games are for kids and you stop playing them once you grow up. At least that's what most people think anyway, because that's what (mostly) the mainstream media tell them.

@JokesOnYou It didn't seem obvious enough to everyone involved in the discussion. The "it's not new" statement is as true as ever. Whether it's coming from a fanboi or not is irrelevant in this case as, once again, it's just stating the obvious; the game is nothing new.

Xbone fanbois are all up in arms every time a negative article about the game in question appears somewhere on the web. If it makes you happier to believe that you're receiving a ...

@creatchee Well, let me tell you a little secret. No product is perfect (despite what some fanbois will tell you), and there ALWAYS is a "fault". I'd rather find out about those faults than read another 9/10 "review" that sounds like it came straight from the product's marketing team.

Besides, don't make it about fanbois. Yours was just a typical reaction to a review not written by a fanboi of the product. "How is someone who is not in lov...

No, naturally a better source of information would be an MS fanboi, because, as we all know, being positively biased towards a product makes one more objective than being negatively biased towards it, right? No, not really. You're just one of those people who enjoy smelling their own farts and reading stuff that confirm their preconceptions.

Aim assist. Bots.

Get a grip.

Aim-assist on the PC, not to mention bots on every map. And yes, you read that right; you get aim-assist, even with mouse/kb as long as your gamepad is connected. What a shame. I wouldn't play it for free, much less pay $60 for it.

I did read your post and I'm still not sure why you'd leave that reply under my post, as it's got nothing to do with what I said. I see now, though, that you have a pretty unique (or should I say "special"?) way of replying.

You've been here long enough, but since you seem to have failed to grasp how discussion threading works, I'll let you in on a little secret. If you want to avoid confusion, try replying under the comment you're addressing...
