Played a few rounds with random people, it's a lot of fun. I have yet to git gud at Titanfall 2 but if anyone wants to add me I'm Nuketourist on Origin.

I finally got to play some frontier defense yesterday, poo poo's awesome. I love dominating choke points with scorch. Hopefully this update brings some of the player base back if they haven't dropped in for new maps yet.

I'm decent at the PVP multiplayer but I've always felt that Frontier Defense does the best job of portraying Pilots as these unstoppable killing machines, gunning down infantry before they knew what hit them and destroying titan after titan. Yesterday, I massacred a squad of grunts, stole a battery out of an enemy titan, then called in my titan to crush another one, and plugged the battery into my titan just after it fell to give it invulnerability for a few seconds while I destroyed two more titans. poo poo owned, and it felt like something out of the trailer for the original TF:

In conclusion, game good buy game.

A legion whittled away the health of four enemy titans trying to make their way through a choke point, and I killed all four with scorch's flame core. :feelsgoodman:

The TF2 singleplayer trailer did a good job with the 'invincible killing machine part', too.

Sega is launching it's own licensed ROM machine called the flashback with 85 games. Reviewers poo poo all over it, and the manufacturer is blaming faulty units.

Pretty good pre-launch imo

The number is 1.3 rounds per kill for snipers while deployed in Vietnam I guess, probably bullshit but plausible if you pretend line units don't make up the vast majority of combat units. Also debbadawgs apparently get real mad if you refer to them as marine soldiers

Titanfall 2 MP matches are usually only 15 min long, which is nice, but frontier defense will usually last a half hour.

PUBG? lol either 2 minutes if you go hard or 30 minutes if you want a chicken dinner.

Yes. There’s plenty of “real” WW2 to cover aside from yet another rehash of Saving Private Ryan and Band of Brothers.

EA's doing a really good job of damage control. They announce that the amount of points you need to unlock heroes is lowered, but don't mention that they also lowered the amount of points you get per round so it just takes the exact same amount of time. Then they removed the refund button from their website and make you call to receive a refund.

They're only fun with groups. Playing it alone it's paranoid scavenging before getting headshotted across a valley or blown away in town. I can't get into a groove the way I can with titanfall or other shooters, so I just get frustrated with dying all the time.

How the gently caress do you burn through 160m in 5 years with nothing to show for it but a lovely alpha

Hopefully the game dies with the queen in 2018, but I'm afraid there's plenty more to milk out of this autistic pipe dream

Edit: they pushed the level required for some Prestige end-game stuff up higher than the level cap available for vanilla Destiny 2. You have to buy the expansion just so you can unlock a higher level cap and play a harder version of those game modes.

The descriptors for the difficulty settings are kind of a tragedy. They drive people away from the difficulties where you really get the feeling the game wants you to have, of being this ludicrous unstoppable Nazi killing machine.

I get why they're still using them, but it's still a shame.

The game tells you that the angrier you are, the more violent the difficulty setting you choose, the more masculine you become. If you choose the least violent option, the game literally depicts the character as a baby. Avoiding violence is thus presented as not manly. Therefore

I just remember that one wasn't reviewed well.

So in crossout, I've been seal clubbing lower strength players because high power score play isn't fun yet. I built a minivan that launches drones out that do all the work while I run around, toot horns, and shoot a machine gun to strip weapons off of people.

I have mixed feelings on pc v1.0. I like all the changes I've seen, the new machine gun is fun, vaulting, new map, etc. But as soon as I get shot my game locks up for 1-2 full seconds during which time...you guessed it! I'm getting lit the gently caress up. I'm effectively one-shotted every time. More than a bit frustrating.

That sucks, I've had a pretty good time with the update. I get rubber banding in the first minute after I drop, but it runs fine otherwise.

The Xbox launch of hilariously lovely, though, but it should get better with time. Hopefully they didn't totally gently caress themselves
