The amount of times he swings wildly and misses rebels that walk right past him and he has to dash back to hit them again or miss point blank saber throws is pretty funny.

MechaSeinfeld posted:Everyone playing should stop and play titanfall 2 instead. It's campaign is well designed and the gameplay features more than just shooting lasers down a hallway, and the multiplayer is balanced and fun. If your brain is broken by indoctrination you can just pretend that the game is set on the distant star wars planet and your character is called idk 'yoda 2' or w/e

Also, its worth pointing out just how bad the crates themselves are. Three different kinds of crates, with wildly different prices, the only difference is you are ~guaranteed~ a card for one of the three categories (trooper, spaceship, hero). I opened 4 Starfighter crates. I received exactly one card that I could use with a regular starfighter. On the other hand, I have a very upgraded Deadly Fart Jar for Bossk, things for a couple other heroes included dudes I didn't unlock, and a bunch of trooper upgrades. The Starfighter crates are nearly half that of the Trooper crates. Nothing about the crate model makes sense.

Is there sufficient community still in Titanfall 2 to still be worthwhile, and is it accessible to a fresh off the boat player? Sorry to ask such a question in a thread for a completely different game.

GoGoGadget posted:This "hate on everything, act like everything is bad, but also act like you don't care about anything" meme is tired as hell. I think the campaign is objectively not great. - Luke mission is stupid AF in both gameplay and story terms - Campaign, bizarrely, doesn't actually play exactly like the main mode (crouch vs. roll, lazy/bad stealth sections) - Mostly very short corridors or room defense The voice acting is really good, but the story itself is at best kind of half-baked and nonsenical.

Oh, one more thing: I want to apologize for being a smug jerk who actually defended the arcade limits as "lol how much time are you really gonna spend fighting bots" I didn't realize it basically locks you out after 10 minutes (since most of the challenges seem to be only 2:00 each. That is some poo poo, especially since I assumed the missions were one-time rewards like the campaign. You can barely do anything at all, its stupid and unnecessary. Chomp8645 posted:It honestly seems like the pro move is just open 100% starfighter crates, even if you're after trooper stuff. Because of the funny prices of crates. Thats my plan. I mean I hosed up because I own the game at all, but if I'm going to get anything out of it this is probably the best strategy.

I’m behind a little on the thread but I would like to mention I’m having a blast. If anyone on PS4 wants to goon up my username is “dustyn_echoes”, I’ll be moving early next week so I might not be on for a little while but add me and hopefully we can stormtrooper together soon! I’ll add anyone I see while catching back up on the forums.

 Note: I got the game for free.Alright, here we go: Single player Fairly straightforward shooter-wise. Nothing will really challenge you, and there's nothing that mixes the formula up. Star Wars story wise? I'm cool with it. Everyone getting all angry about how it "didn't do anything different". Wake up, this is "Star Wars" under Disney and it ain't doing anything daring until the revenue drops. In that regard, I'm guilty, because I enjoyed it as a stupid cliche Star Wars story. Should you, as a person that passed on Star Wars Battlefront 1 buy this because it has a "single player story"? ... gently caress. no. There's not enough there and let me get into the longevity element: The Multiplayer. Loot box. Loot box. Loot box. I get that it's a "thing". Personally, I prefer season passes, but it's a catch:22. Game makes enough money on loot boxes? Weak stream of a maps or a hero BUT everyone gets them.Season Pass? Big packs of maps but not everyone gets them. I get it, split the community: kill the game. You know what immediately killed this game for me? Let me lay it out as a Battlefield player. I die in Battlefield 3-4, I see the gun, I know I can unlock it but it's not a thing because it's "one gun". It might not be the gun, I might have a chance, so I keep playing. Battlefront 2? I die, I see the GODDAMN 3 cards my opponent has. Any of those 3 might have caused them to kill me. That does NOT enthuse me to play further, knowing that at this moment my progression is literally random through "loot crates". NOTE: I am not angry about having to level up, I am angry that the leveling system is literally tied to randomization. I uninstalled. And I got the game for free.

Campaign chat: IMO the campaign is decently executed mechanically. The missions are designed well enough for what is essentially an offline primer for a multiplayer game, and the action/stealth is well blended. Overall it's an improvement over the Battlefield 1 campaign. However the story is kinda rear end, and for three reasons. 1) They whole "you are the bad guy" thing is instantly betrayed. I'm talking Star Trek: Voyager levels of "gently caress the premise" here. Literally it does not go past the prologue, because that is the only mission where it is played straight. By the god drat first mission (titled Mission 1) the main character is obviously questioning the empire and priming herself for defection. And then you spend probably 2/3 of the game rebel aligned. I mean we all the knew there was obviously gonna be a defection but like they didn't even try to maintain any pretense of this person being a real imperial. 2) The father/daughter relationship between Iden and the Admiral is completely wasted and pointless. There is not even one single interaction between the two characters in the whole game where it is relevant. It would not have affected anything in the slightest if the admiral was just Iden's mentor, or hell even some guy she didn't know very well but respected on a professional level. I'm honestly at a loss as to why they wrote the two of them as being parent and child, because they do absolutely nothing with it. 3) Every Imperial in the game other than our Main Cast Defectors is a Bioware Villain. They kick puppies and laugh about it. There in no logic in anything they do, and they cannot accomplish anything ever if Iden doesn't help them do it. Operation Cinder itself is so stupid and so forced that it's almost cringe worthy to watch unfold. It removes any dramatic tension to the plot and torpedoes any idea of there being an internal conflict in Iden, or in fact any character, about which side is good and which is bad. Honestly I think every side character/plot in the game is better than the main one. Lando and Shriv are quality comic relief, Han's interaction with Maz are entertaining, and the finale with Ren and [redacted] is kind of interesting. Even Luke and the one Imp agent is halfway ok even the though the bug enemies make for lovely gameplay. The main plot though? Pure shlock.

ShineDog posted:There's just gotta be some cut missions though right? Doubtful. The story is extremely shallow and lazy. The only "cut" content is what they're gonna release after TLJ since it ends on a cliffhanger. There's a dumb allusion to a major character, but is almost 100% misdirection because there is no way they're going to have a film character related to people you only see for two hours in a video game. E: Billy Dee Williams just seems flat. He NEVER changes his tone. On one hand you can write that off as Lando's never say die, always confident personality and attitude. More likely though that Billy Dee was just phoning it in for some of that sweet, sweet Star Wars money and to find relevancy 30 years after ESB. Shriv is literally the only good thing about the story campaign. At all. Other than that, Chomp pretty much hits it on the head. He forgot to mention the magical disappearing X-Wing ladders, and why someone would land a loving X-Wing to take AT-ATs on, on foot. Edit 2: The more I roll over what I just witnessed in my head, the more insulted I feel that EA/DICE thought any of this was ok or passes muster.

Make sure you play the campaign in first person. It's way more fun. And to be fair, some of the levels are fun spectacle, just quite shallow. Imperial Kissboy is a cool dude too.

Cinnamon Bear posted:Oh, one more thing: I refunded my copy so I can't double check, but I thought it was only 100 credits per mission. At 24 missions, unless you're repeating them (why would you do this?), you're literally out a single crate. Actually not even that because you'll go the first 4-5 without hitting the cap. Edit: To be clear I'm not saying it's a good thing, just that the reward is so minuscule in the first place that it only exists to piss you off for being a stupid design decision, and the amount you forfeit is basically pointless anyways. nessin fucked around with this message at 11:19 on Nov 18, 2017 |

On PS4. After cycling through modes trying to find one that wouldn't dump me in a room with "Waiting for 18 more players" for 5+ minutes, I got into a Strike game. Where I was ruthlessly brutalized by clone troopers with triple epic star cards while my team seemed to be comprised of only level 0s or 1s. After the game ended in defeat, I quit. And I've been staring at a black screen with the music playing for about 7 minutes now. Looks like I've encountered my first bug.

You can look back at ME3 MP's endless but ultimately fine crate system and chart the course of some EA exec crunching numbers and concluding, "ah yes but if we could only compartmentalize every single aspect of gameplay into lootboxes we would see a 13.76% increase in microtransactions this fiscal quarter" with each new game.
