titanfall y’all get up running on a wall
The story is maybe bad but
holy moly the level design is so good. I can’t remember the last time I didn’t perceive the boundaries of a space in a game. The weapons all feel great to use while bouncing around - some even usable have hip fire. The new Titan chassis are guaranteed to have your fave mecha archetype.
I want to get on this while the multi is still popular but I don’t really feel like $80 when my primary interest is the campaign… I’m psyched that it sounds so good though.
$80 is steep if you’re in it for the campaign. If you have Redbox (and I’m guessing Canada doesn’t?) it’s a very easy rec for the rental price/campaign. I’m guessing it’s short (like an old CoD campaign).
Each level is rolling out new weird mechanics. I just learned you can preserve your momentum by bouncing off a wall, crouching, and using the slide momentum to skip like a stone on water.
wait, it’s $80? why’s it $80? who wants DLC? I know that it’s less than $50 on Green Man Gaming for PC.
Reviews said 4 hours?
sorry, CAD. and nope, no redbox.
OH my bad I’m oblivious to canadian things
it’s OK, I totally just bought it from my closely-guarded-no-plans-to-exchange-it US bank account after finding out it was that cheap on GMG, since as long as I ignore the fact that they’re two different currencies that seems like a great deal!
So by “the plot is bad” I mean “the plot is Star Wars.” If that’s your thing, yahtzee!
It’s a hacky and trite formulation but Portal 2 with guns is a pretty good point of reference here in order to skirt talking about specific mechanical wrinkles for the moment. Most rooms feel like little puzzles punctuated with nice mob shooting. At the end of each level you fight a Metal Gear Solid boss (specifically, Ocelot) but each one has a Metal Gear!
I know you were confused but just to point it out, Respawn has said all DLC for the game will be FREE
that is a pleasant surprise!
The way it sounded from the Titanfall 2 site, the only difference is that Deluxe edition gets advance access? Plus cosmetics? (I got Standard because it all looked like stuff I wouldn’t care about)
Finished the campaign in five hours. The story actually ended without a frustrating cliffhanger!
so i guess i gotta ge tthis?
ps4 right
I’m on PC because this is the rare game where mouse look matters to me. The PS4 version is totally solid based on the beta I played and will undoubtedly have the best population!
Origin ID is 
yeah, I went PC too because of the GMG deal + mouselook. the PS4 beta was great though and everyone says performance is just fine.
fwiw I got it on PS4
ok yeah this is very good. it … feels like crysis but playable. extremely so. with no bullshit stealth. and gorgeous.
the writing is indeed just a little dumber than necessary, it’s not terrible by any means, and it has a robot buddy who probably dies at the end so I can get into it purely on that basis, but they are really only interested in setting up archetypes to get you from point a to point b.
hey guys what do you think ueda will do n – oh
fuck fuck fuck
11/10 campaign
a goddamn video game-ass video game
and they managed to do it without relying on set piece-oriented design, instead just throwing all sorts of wacky one-off mechanics (an entire goddamn level with light/dark world switching for fuck’s sake!) and platforming challenges at the wall and all of it fucking sticks
look, it was bad enough to watch Black Bess die in BF1, but I have to lose BT too? it’s not fair, EA
