Not that it matters and I am obviously pumped for this game, but the concept behind Titanfall is incredibly dumb.

let me rephrase that. The concept kicks rear end as a game and I like it. The idea that warfare is carried out by people parkouring all over and jumping into robots is hilarious. Why are they getting out of the robots in the first place? it doesn't need to make sense it just makes me laugh when I think about it.

Every game is like this though?

Why don't you start every match in MW2 with the nuke? Why don't Halo dudes start with a rocket launcher?

This basically applies to any work of fiction ever though.

The only thing that struck me as strange was that they suggest the single player personalizes the Titan when everything about the series shows how fragile and disposable they are. Like "this game it's all about Captain Kirk and his bond with the red shirts on the away team". Unless it's a continuous consciousness that hops into the next Titan, it seems like it wouldn't fit the gameplay.

I mean, if your titan doesn't die, the title is not a significant thing because you never have to call one in. The one you've got, "Steve", is with you from beginning to end.

I always thought it was because the robots are in flat pack boxes to save space, and it takes a while to assemble them because there's only one Allen wrench

If you read into the MP dialogue it's one Titan AI that gets plugged into new chassis they're apparently building for you in real time (and for some reason speeding up when you kill poo poo)

The logistics make no sense but who cares, game is dope. Call of Duty is much more realistic, in real life soldiers have to shoot a few bad guys before they're allowed to call for air support, airplanes are expensive and you need to teach those idiot grunts not to be freeloaders :911:

-I think that the line about "the difference of being great and a grunt on the battlefield is the bond between a pilot and a Titan" is corny and eye rolling. Same goes for Titans doing farm work at dawn.

Not to get into a pissing match because no animosity here but I think you are over thinking it. The only reason for any of the things that happen in the game are because they are cool.


Like why don't you start in the robot ? Because its way loving cooler to call in a robotic meteor.

the answer to any "why" question is because its way more metal and cool to do it the action movie way.

I guess you are right, because sometimes the dumb way is just cooler.

What would be bettah?

Do you also hate Terminator 2? I mean, I hope the game goes full-on T2 and you end up teaching your mech a fist-bump or something. I'm glad that they're emphasizing that the Titan is unique and that you guys are symbiotic to your survival. The lone super-soldier with all of the tools at his disposal has been done to death, I'm glad that your greatest tool is also your robo-bro.
