Missed titanfall 1 but this is looking really good. Unfortunately behind the spectacle it looks like it's yet another game with incredibly low TTK, frequent instakills and shooting people in the back a lot, which I used to have the patience for but kinda don't anymore. What was titanfall 1 like by comparison?

Watching streams of this and it basically looks like COD with more mobility options, whenever the mechs aren't involved. People just run around corners and shoot each other in the back with near-instant TTK, the only visible difference here being that it happens from above sometimes due to the vertical mobility. But nothing seems to differentiate the basic gameplay from "instakilling people from outside their field of view". Repeat until match is over. Hooray?

The problem with low TTK and fast respawns isn't that it encourages camping, it's that it turns most engagements into a matter of someone just shooting another in the back, or milliseconds-long engagements where there is absolutely no time for anything but raw reflexes to play a part. It makes the differences between weapons matter less when everything needs an incredibly few number of shots to kill, makes fights generally not come down to skill at all but instead come down to whoever happened to end up behind the other player, and it makes the times when you are both shooting at each other at the same time be incredibly short-lived. It's ultimately a matter of preference, but to me the disadvantages far outweigh whatever advantages an ultra-low TTK supposedly has.

Knifegrab posted:I agree if someone gets the drop on me they definitely should not be able to just kill me despite clearly having the advantage So anytime you see someone else from an angle, it should be guaranteed that you win and not them, no matter how good they are? Even though the person who shoots the other one in the back often did nothing at all to get in that position, it's just how the game spawned them? "Having the advantage" in terms of angle shouldn't be the one and only thing that decides who wins, and very often in fast paced COD-style games, whether or not you get the angle on someone usually has nothing to do with your skill. When you combine it with fast respawns and accurate weapons, games quickly devolve into people just charging around and shooting each other in the back over and over. It makes the gameplay repetitive, thoughtless, and boring. In rainbow 6 siege figuring out how to get the angle on someone is part of the whole strategy of the game, and all the other mechanics of the game as well as its pacing contribute to it as a strategic element, so it makes sense there. In a COD-style shooter, it just means you got lucky.

What's the best perk for tone in FD? Most of the titans seem to have ones I can write off but all of tone's seem really good. Double sonar has been working best for me so far

Scorches do seem to be able to hit me way more accurately than anything else. It feels like they were just given perfect accuracy since it matters less than any other titan if a scorch has perfect accuracy. Which is true, but I'm not sure they should be able to make the trick shots they do so often. One time I used flight core in front of two of them so that there was no longer an obstruction between us, and they burned my health from 75% to doomed in less than a second. I haven't even gone above regular difficulty so I'm assuming everything's accuracy is only going to get better from here

Got a chance to play angel city. It has a pretty intense first wave where the theme is "4+ squads of mortar stalkers at a time" who set up all over the map on rooftops. I was very glad I happened to have double take and grappling hook equipped. Wave 4 is pretty similar except with mortar titans. I'm really not sure where you want to put turrets on that map.

I've gotten a chance to play all of them, exoplanet 4 times and the others once, and enjoyed all of them. However besides the two gimmick waves on angel city (mortar stalker and mortar titans) it felt like the design kind of pushed all the enemy titans into a big wad at that one street intersection, or else to the left of it in a big line on the very edge of the map, which is kind of awkward. I imagine it's a scorch's dream but I would not want to be scorch on the mortar titan wave.

How do you ronin well without taking lots of damage and having to go through titans regularly? With every other titan I can go 3 if not the full 4 entire waves without losing my titan, but ronin taking damage from just about every titan you fight seems completely unavoidable. Definitely the best mortar hunter but it feels like it unavoidably leaves you on foot for longer than anything else, which I'm not sure is a good tradeoff.

That's my problem with ion, it's fun but the fact that its best damage uses the same energy as its abilities means that I don't feel much reason to use any of them, unless I'm laser sniping a cloak drone or whatever

Siege is very cool but the barrier to entry is extremely high at this point. I couldn't get into it because I could tell it would be a huge amount of work to get on equal footing with the players who have hundreds of hours and know every detail of every map by heart. I also either somehow ran into the worst vertical slice of its players or the community is garbage, worse than when I played call of duty which should be an easy bar to clear. If you can overcome the barrier to entry I can tell it's a great game (my brother loves it) but it won't be easy

EA suits three years from now:  we need to find a good time to release our future shooter for maximum buzz while keeping the pressure on activision...but just when in the year could we do that without smothering it behind more well known releases in the same category for the third time...oh! That three week window between Call of Duty Futureshoot 8 and Battlefield 2143 is perfect!

Skyscraper posted:Man, sucks that nobody is playing this dying game, and never will again after it dies. But hey, at least EA got 30% more for each sale! From august 22: quote:Since the release of Monarch’s Reign in May, we’ve seen our playerbase increase every month. Currently we have over a million players across all platforms each month playing multiplayer, and we’re expecting August to be our biggest month of 2017. I'm having no problem finding FD games on PC myself. But most multiplayer games have populations that are thinning out pretty fast by a year after release so TF2 did start emptying out fast after that blog post then it wouldn't even be unique in the slightest. You're also treating TF2 as a solely PC game when the majority of target consumers actually aren't on PC and therefore aren't affected by origin in the slightest, and you're blindly ignoring other factors in its success such as how EA decided to release this lesser-known shooter right next to call of duty and battlefield. What a flimsy-rear end post.

You've just made this nonsensical connection in your head and convinced yourself it was the truth, and you're ignoring everything else to continue believing it.
