Why in blue hell you uninstalled it. Bloodborne and Titanfall 2 never, and I said NEVER left my PS4's HDD while the rest are moved to the external.

Time to put my softballs on the table again :haw:

I DON'T KNOW THE BBCODE FOR BIG RED TITLES SO I CAN'T FIX THIS FUCK
I still play the multiplayer on PS4. Games are surprisingly quick to get into depending on the time of day. Hoping for more people now that it's gone free to play. More people need to at least experience the campaign.

** Haha. Wow 21000+ people on right now.

pretty much cause it got very little advertising and the launch was bookended by 2 AAA launches that actually did advertise

Titanfall 2’s release date was locked in by EA – “there was no changing it,” say Respawn

I thought I’ve seen Vince Zampella say that Respawn themselves chose the date because they were confident enough in the game but I don’t remember the source. Also could have been a thing he said after they were bought. :shrug:

I’ll say it’s a shame they didn’t make this F2P earlier with additional MTX cosmetics.

You don’t even need to be a super badass to be good at TF2 multiplayer (on console).

I literally had not played a FPS on console since almost Halo 1. No shooters on PS4 or PS3. They hit the absolute money spot on how the aim assist works when wall running, it feels great just running on the ground too. I tried to play Battlefield One after TF2 and the aiming felt like poo poo in comparison.

Plus you can just smoke AI and actually contribute to your team. If you are not getting killed and killing AI you’re actually contributing more to your team than someone who thrown down with enemy players constantly and dies 50/50. Even if the enemy team goes on a roll and has a full team of Titians up, now it’s pretty easy to hide and kill more AI mooks.

All at 60 FPS too, dang it’s a well designed game

It's funny becuse I remembered how Jeff Gerstman was one of the only people who stuck up for Tf2 that year amid the barrage of support for noted lovely game Overwatch, and so last night I went back to watch his quicklook of Tf2. He dives into the multiplayer at one point (note, this is a game he praised for 'feeling better' than any other FPS)...and I swear he goes 10 minutes without doing a single wallrun.

Titanfall 2 went over people's heads.

Not just console. I play pretty casually on PC, with a controller (hooray couch gaming), and still have a blast. I'm usually in the mid-to-top third on the leaderboards - though I really only play Attrition. v:shobon:v

My first match of titanfall two I thought I was absolutely crushing it. Getting so many kills. After the match my buddy explained I had been mostly just killing the grunts. Cool and good how their inclusion can help a new player ease into the game

I go into games regularly and get my rear end handed to me by insane hypersonic hardscopers who pilot frag in a way I can only dream of, and then I tactically lock down 7-10 titan kills with Scorch and YOINK the match from under their noses.

It is good, more games should have NPCs running around the battlefield.

The Smart Pistol was good for the first game, helping players focus on movement instead of getting a cursor on an opponent hopping around all over the place. Grunts provide a way to help out the team if you can't handle the opposing players. Less accurate guns in the first game promoted closing in instead of hunkering down over sightlines.

This game works by having a very high skill ceiling and a basement low skill floor. Sure It'll feel bad when you see the LOCK ON prompt at the bottom of your screen and can't shake it, but it provides more HOLY poo poo moments for low skill players.

There was definitely nerfs to the Devotion. As for the A Wall I don’t recall if this was always a thing but they did make them so if you put enough damage to them they can be destroyed.

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

For anyone who's considering the game but concerned about jumping into multiplayer, there's a 4-player co-op horde defense mode you can use to learn the game.
