For if he like a madman lived,
At least he like a wise one died.

So I played the first almost exclusively with a controller on PC, just because it made the movement easier - am I in the minority? Should I try to learn kb+m? Doesn't seem like this one will be quite so reliant on the twitch reflex headshot, I'm torn [natalie imbruglia]

Just have fun. Do whatever is fun. That GameSager guy is a holy terror and he plays with the controller. You will probably get better results with the M + KB but since the game supposedly matches you with players of your skill level it shouldn't really matter.

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.
So I just started teh single player and I am noticing the dark colors in this game are... grainy? Anyone else noticed that?

Also no true borderless windowed mode...

Yeah there's a *heavy* film grain. You can get borderless windowed if you put -noborder -windowed in your advanced launch options. Also -novid to skip all the intro movies.

Only some of them can be purchasable with merits, some are random only.

Whoops, looks like you're right. I edited my previous post. Oh well, I was probably gonna use most of my merits on permanent unlocks anyways. Or probably just hoard them like I tend to do.

Tis I!

Was a good game, though not sure I can match up to your top of the boardness!

The Bounty Hunt map e: that we played with the dome feels a little too small for titans (rodeoing a titan, my pilot had their head clip through beams several time) but the actual gameplay is very good.

Also, protip: If you pick up batteries off a dead titan/rodeoing an enemy titan, you can plug them into a dying titan to bring it back from the brink

(this is also a good reason to get rid of auto ejection)

e: For those asking about campaign length



Ignoring the Pilot's Gauntlet (tutorial mission), each one has so far felt about as long as a CoD campaign mission, so its pretty short overall.

So if you're going through the SP, don't do it on Master, it's pretty hard, hard to the point where it's not the most fun because BT is apparently made from tin-foil and the pilot dies just by being looked at. It's really, really frustrating.

So hyped for Titanfall 2 that it is officially the first ever game I've preordered*

*1 hour and 10 minutes before launch after days of rave reviews so it installs on my Xbox in time to play a few rounds before going to bed

Yeah I tried for about 10 minutes and realized I was crouching behind walls to hide from snipers and that was stupid as gently caress

I use it, but I'm terrible. What did people use their benefactor's gift on? I'm trying to decide on weather to get the two titans for 10 credits or the one for 20.

I've only been able to get Bounty games so far (this game mode is so loving frustrating I hate it). I expect in about 40 minutes it'll ramp up hard.

The game isn't out yet and everyone is either playing SP or in a match and prolly not leaving. Since people aren't rotating in and out of matches matchmaking is gonna be slow until 12.

Christ, is it just me or is the Origin ui just unresponsive about everything?

Clicking anything takes more than one try to open anything... like I have to repeatedly tell a game to open until it actually opens, the right click menu for the taskbar icon takes a couple of tries to hit any button, and it's just a mess in general.
