Finishing single player before I get into the meat of the game. It has been kick rear end so far. Reasonably early on (within the first couple hours) there is a really cool I guess you would call it level (its loving massive and goes on for like an hour it seems) which is very evocative of portal 2. They are doing some more interesting stuff in the campaign than I imagined. Certainly no COD single player is nearly this cool...

Oh, All-Knowing One, behold me!
If I didn't like playing Titanfall 1 on the Xbox One, but I liked playing BLOPS 3 on the PC, is there a decent chance I could like playing Titanfall 2 on the PC? Like, I didn't have fun with the first Titanfall but that may have just been a bad first impression only playing on someone else's xbox for a bit. I've sunk a good amount of time into blops 3 and it's a lot of fun, Titanfall 2 seems like it might be similar but with some more fun bits (bigger maps, mechs) and maybe less annoying bits (I still roll my eyes at flamethrower guy's power).

This game has customization options out the rear end and it's incredible. the execution you get from the dew/doritos thing makes it so you finally stab someone with your hacking knife

I made a network called Titanfall Goons if anyone wants to join

Oh gently caress me, do I really want to preorder ANOTHER game?
I already got Mafia 3, Shadow Warrior 2, and Battlefield 1.

Mafia 3 I set aside until the devs unfuck it, SW2 is fun in small bursts with a buddy, and Battlefield 1 is amazing for extended play sessions but the squad system and actually getting a group together to play with is kind of a bitch to do... it's kind of necessary to play with a coordinated squad though, pubbies are horrible.

How fun is Titanfall for just jumping in and loving around with pubbies? I'm looking for a game to just jump in and jump out and this also gives me some heavy Tribes vibes with how vertical you can get and how maneuverability is so important... also getting some Mech Warrior vibes with the titans themselves!

The GMG VIP deal seems too good to pass up, I dunno what to do!

Man this single player is going WAY above my expectations. I don't want to ruin the mechanic because I don't think they mentioned it ever being in the game but if you remember the loving badass nightcrawler white house scene from the start of x-men 2... this is similar and so much fun.

Looks like they saw good results with their eventual release of Titanfall 1's DLC for free:

Respawn posted:

All Maps, Modes, and More are Free After Launch

No Season Pass required: all maps & modes will be free in Titanfall 2 Multiplayer. This means no splitting up the community and it all starts with the legendary Angel City map, remastered from the original Titanfall. This means once you’ve purchased Titanfall 2, your investment includes a full single player campaign, the full multiplayer maps and modes, and long-term support with no hidden costs. You can pre-order the game to play 3 days early, but it will never cost you extra.

So I watched that polygon gameplay video...and honestly I'm more baffled by the fact that, well, every reviewer seemed to be playing it like it was CoD when they were pilots, except for the one streamer account I saw actually making use of the wallruns when they could.

Like Polygon's 7 I can at least understand from a "I think you were just bad at the game" viewpoint, I'm far more confused by the people who just played it like it was CoD and go "yeah this brings some innovation to the table, 8/9 out of 10!", I mean it seems like you would have to actually make use of those innovations before you can say that unless one just really likes titan play to the point of not caring about how pilots play.

I know the answer to this conundrum is "gaming journalism is a joke"

fake edit: As far as I know the only cross-game thing they're doing is with BF1 and the red baron skin, they haven't announced anything re: TF1 ownership up till now.

this. when i played one. i know alot of idiots who played it like cod and they would get wrecked by people who didn't(like me). I assume its because cod multiplayer is the one thing alot of people play and that style carries over. its kinda like how people dont know how to use tanks in battlefield one.(you use them the way they were original intended, as basically a battering ram with guns, using infantry as cover. you use it to knock down walls and clear out infantry.)



hahaah. awesome.

Who wants to play video games?
Played through the campaign last night since it couldn't matchmake enough people to play a match. Took around 5-6 hours, overall a really solid campaign that does more than a standard fps shooter with platforming puzzles, over the top Metal Gear Solid-esque Boss characters, and a lot of moments that make you feel like a badass, especially one section late in the game. :rock:

They also introduce a really cool ability that you don't really expect in a few levels early on, but drops it maybe a little too soon. They could have made a whole game based on this ability.


also BT-7274 is :allears:

I'm surprised I like Northstar as much as I do. The lack of Titan shields means the sniper rifle isn't completely useless any more, plus the cluster missile is still as great as ever.

Game feels slightly slower than TF1 but that might be in part because I am still learning the maps/playing with grapple/getting used to the new keybindings (TF1 players might want to change them back if you've still got muscle memory)

Looking at the customization for weapons/titans/pilots, it sounds like they have regen (aka prestige) for individual things now? makes sense since everything has its own level

What kind of customization is there for pilots? Is your appearance still tied to your abilities?

EDIT: does the male/female option still exist?

your pilot model is tied to your ability but you can change your skin color basically. There's like 7 pages of options, all with various unlock criteria. also you can choose between male and female (or robo-male and robo-female, lol)

all weapons have customization options as well, as do titans. Titans get camo as well as nose decals, which are specific to each titan. i believe there is an anime lady you can put on the sword titan

Also on the PC front: I have been playing the campaign for 5-6 hrs now and it runs flawlessly so far. On an i5 2500K and 1070 - everything maxed and 4X MSAA it looks pretty good and runs smooth. Alt-tabs without issue and hasn't crashed once. Will have to play multi to say if its relatively bug free but its looking good so far.

softether VPN is what i used, as well as the relay plugin that gives you a list of proxy servers right there in the client. just connect to a south korean server and launch the game and you should be good 2 go

Male/female toggle exists but the models aren't as drastically different as they were in the last game.

On top of what Antione said there will also be "Prime" Titan skins later on. Cosmetic overhauls with modified Titan body, sound effects, and execution animation. No gameplay changes though, just visual. You get two of them with the Deluxe edition, but not until December. I assume you'll be able to buy the rest by then, too. Also I'm guessing they'll be real money only, gotta fund those free maps somehow.

Yeah I have absolutely no problem with microtransactions as long as they're purely cosmetic and you actually buy the thing you want instead of just more random chances to get it (looking at you, Mass Effect 3). I may even throw down a few bucks myself for a fancier Spectre scarf.
