MY BIG ROBOT BUDDY SACRIFICED HIMSELF FOR MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! :qq:

Hi, I decided to root through the incredibly backlogged "I'll get back to this someday" pile, and played the campaign because I, once again, possess a computer which can play games with good quality.

Amazing, I think that *may* be one of only a handful of Funkos that don't look like poo poo.

I'm getting discouraged by multiplayer. I can't seem to find anything that clicks. A lot of things that I would like to do, but the progression system won't let me have yet because progression systems.

In what was probably a very ill-advised move, I went and unlocked smartpistol as the first thing because I am Bad At Multiplayer.

I would *love* to have Low Signature so I could be ripping batteries out of titans left and right, but that's not available to me for another..... 12 levels or so?

Increased view kick and hipfire spread for R-101 and 201.

-Welp, it was nice pretending I wasn't actually a boat anchor.

Players will now have 5 seconds of invulnerability after jumping out of a dropship.

-Oh good, no more "jump out of dropship, land on Tick, die immediately."

Mozambique is now automatic, has 2 more shots, and fire rate has been increased.

-So.... it's a Mastiff that can also be equipped in the secondary slot, now?

Arc grenades now stick to a surface and explode after .75 seconds.This applies only to multiplayer. Arc grenades will function as they previously have in single player.

-This is crap. I *just* started using them to some pretty good effect.

Reapers now dodge less frequently.

-Now I can use something that's not the Thunderbolt! Seriously, whoever programmed the drat things played too much Dark Souls.

This is the part that continues to stick out for me:


Why would you want to work under the publisher that did that?

I can only assume that it was cashing out.

I wouldn't want to see Respawn and Titanfall under Nexon's wing, because Nexon are Korean and will turn any game they own into microtransaction city, but much the same can be said about EA.

I hope everyone working at Respawn got a big payday with the EA buyout. And if not, they should milk EA for all they're worth before jumping ship.

quote:

I talked about the deal with Vince Zampella, CEO of Respawn, and Patrick Soderlund, executive vice president at EA. They say that the opportunity arose and the timing was right to take the familiar relationship to the next level. They said that Respawn will operate autonomously and continue its work on a Titanfall game, a Star Wars game, and a non-Star Wars, non-Titanfall virtual reality game for the Oculus Rift VR headset.

“We want to have the best games. We have a good relationship,” Soderlund said. “The creative freedom is still here: DICE, BioWare, our studios have creative freedom and creative integrity. That’s what gets those studios to make great games.”

Allow me to translate the words of noted liar Patrick Soderlund, into what the rest of us know he actually means:

quote:

Respawn had better loving watch their rear end. Either your games pull in billions of dollars and looks good on the balance sheet, or you get to join Visceral, and Origin, and Maxis, and Mythic, and Bullfrog, and Westwood, and Pandemic. Also, you can do whatever you like, so long as it uses Frostbite, and gets focus group and market tested to death.

I took the long way around and came back to a weapon I should have unlocked right off the bat: The G2. (Turns out I love the Flatline in campaign, and the G2 can eat a dick, but vice versa when I'm in multiplayer.)

What's it *actually* worth these days, how do I better use it, I don't know where or how I'd get started with running down patch changes to it.

It took me three regenerations, 26 levels, and going through almost every other pilot primary, but I finally feel like I'm *not* a liability to my team.

I'm gonna feel real annoyed when I buy the Longbow and realize that THAT was the weapon I'd actually been waiting for.

I also learned that I needed to lead my shots a little on Tone, and now I'm goosing ejecting pilots left and right.

Scorch maxed.

Now back to Legion, because loving executing Nuke Titans without giving them a chance to nuke eject is just too drat good.

That's the problem though, isn't it? They waited a decade before releasing the sequel.

From a marketing perspective, that's a heavy lift, trying to stoke the burnt-out embers of people who gave up and moved on.

And as Diablo III has showed, waiting that long betwen sequels causes lessons learned during the previous game's development to be forgotten, effectively starting from scratch.

Dear Titanfall thread:

Today, I had three titans all simultaneously turn around and start running the gently caress away from me.

I may or may not have bellowed "HOW TASTES YOUR FEAR, NEPHALEM?!" and laughed maniacally as I killed them. Killed them all.

I do have one question:

Does anyone think that because the Mozambique got moved to the primary slot, and then buffed, that the Mastiff is really redundant and needs a buff of some kind?

Seriously, that Mastiff reload is some kind of backbreaking.

Apex map based on say, Angel City

Part of the traversal is destroyed wrecks of titans. None intact or pilotable.

Not intact but maybe pilotable would be interesting. Which would make them turrets with a certain killbox you gotta dance around.

edit:
* hatches blown off, so you've only got your own hp to work with.
* reloading is something either you need to do manually by dismounting, or have another player do it
* can sneak up on the busted-up titans to finish it off, deny them to the enemy or take out the gunner. Randomize which hulks still have their nuke cores intact. for some real fun.

Yeah. Apex would be more fun with titans. Why does that game still not have a pilot as a playable hero yet?

Felt real good about going 20-2 with eight titan kills.

Then I saw my tag at the end of the match, and I'm a G13 amongst G2s and G3s.

And then I felt sinking dread, for I have become THAT GUY.

I didn't even try to be that guy! All I did was play the game and try to grind out the last few kills I need to G2 my last weapon! (non-elite Wingman)

I have been playing long enough that all of these things are more of less equally lethal in my hands.

Except for the softball. My friends have still banned me from using anything explosive, because I'm a, quote, "war criminal that war crimes wars" with them. (It is only with strenuous objection that they let me continue to use Scorch, after the one day I got three gooses with the thermite launcher.)

I was honestly thinking even like... Flatline/P2020/Thunderbolt/E. Smoke. Can't nobody be mad about getting killed with that loadout, right?

Yeah, when I first started playing multiplayer, I thought the game was weird for how quiet chat was. Or that I was weird for not being able to play more than three games in a row without an extended break.

Turns out when the gameplay is THAT good with respawn times that low, nobody wants to type slurs in chat.
