Gadzooks! I'm terrified of this little child who is going to stab me with a knife. I must wrest the knife away from his control and therefore gain the upperhand.
I haven't been watching any campaign stuff because I want to be surprised when my robo-waifu digitally kisses me after being bashful but is the launch trailer good?

It contains no campaign spoilers at all, so you can watch it just fine :D

Heh, I ordered the PS4 Vanguard Edition just for the swag and was going to just eBay the game since I don't have a PS4 and just get the game digitally. Then I called the PS4 order because the PC version got the Vanguard Edition.

The worst part is Amazon hasn't updated the order or even given me a god drat arrival date. I better get it release day god drat it.

This leads to more overall variety in tactical options and problems to deal with, though, some just feel cheap — especially the active cloaking, which indulges in the worst sniper camping behavior I’ve seen in a shooter in ages.

After all 3 maps in the tech test ended up being garbage it's disappointing that the final game only has 9, hopefully the other 6 aren't awful. Sucks to see things scaled back so much when the first game launched with 15 maps that were all really good though.

It's probably due to having to focus on making a single player campaign that they had to scale back a bit on the multiplayer side; but it's quality over quantity in the end, right? It probably made it a bit easier when the campaign was just already centered around the multiplayer in the first place for the first game and that's why those maps all felt super strong to some degree.

I'd like to think that Polygon is that one kid in your English class who always just fluffed the gently caress out of their essays and BS'd a lot of the content for the sake of words.

What a horrible thread to have a post.
Watch Polygon's Arthur Gies play Titanfall 2 here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQCGVtk11EA

He's bad.

The cloak criticism really stands out to me because: cloak isn't very effective against non-titan opponents, you have killcams so that you know exactly where the sniper is standing, you have more mobility and speed than in most FPSes, and 2/3rds of the Sniper Rifles have travel time.

The thing that both FrothyOmen and GameSager (two higher tier TF players) said was bad was Amped Wall with the DRM, it's a 2-shot hitscan kill and it can be tough. But this means that the sniper is locked down in front of a big orange wall which is both a visual indicator and a serious disadvantage.

So look at the ham-handed play above and realize that the dude plays the game like Call of Duty with other scrubs. He's not qualified to talk about poo poo.

My favorite Polygon article is the one where the author stopped playing Shadow of Mordor literally five minutes in to fart out a 1,500-word hot take about how the "kiss wife" quicktime event was bound to the same key as the stealth kill.

Well I don't want to condemn Polygon as an outlet, they did hire the McElroy bros, but they also hired a guy who admitted to being a lousy father who used video games to babysit his kids and doesn't monitor what they do. And I'm not being uncharitable - that's what he said.

The thing that's particularly amusing about this is that it's entirely possible to play as a decent leader who gives everyone free housing and high-school level education and isn't particularly corrupt. That's not even hard to accomplish, in the game.
