Traitorous Leopard posted:I just wish there was a little more gameplay footage out there. Everything I’ve read about this game makes me want to play it, but the (sparse) gameplay I’ve seen so far has done the opposite. Hard to describe, but it just looks clunky. I agree with you. I have seen about half-a-dozen videos with a title similar to "Fallen Order: It's really good! (gameplay impressions)" from reviewers and although I haven't watched them all I'm pretty sure that this game is going to fun. The combat looks VERY deliberate and consequential - as a rule that's not fun to watch but it's a great time to play.

So let’s hope they got enough hooks and story features and nice action to keep us immersed . I give Respawn some credit, one of the few dev teams that did not disappoint, it s the opposite. They set their own bars really high, in a good way.

Titanfall 2's campaign was a lot of fun and the perfect length for a fast paced first person shooter. The multiplayer was also good but too much like Call of Duty so it never took off.

One of the Game Informer guys said that the game encouraged defensive combat, and then showed footage of someone trying to brute force their way way through a stormtrooper squad and get lit up. Looks like blocking/deflecting are really important.

I said come in! posted:Titanfall 2's campaign was a lot of fun and the perfect length for a fast paced first person shooter. The multiplayer was also good but too much like Call of Duty so it never took off. It's really not like Call of Duty at all. There are no killstreaks or deathstreaks and there are literally huge robots running around and there is massive amounts of movement tech that you need to be able to do in order to compete. It is MUCH closer to the movement-based shooters circa Quake than Call of Duty, just with low TTK.

It is MUCH closer to the movement-based shooters circa Quake than Call of Duty, just with low TTK. A lot of the time it felt more like Tribes than anything else, especially when you and an enemy both had non-hitscan weapons and were both trying to hit each other while both parties frantically moved in three dimensions.

Yeah, I absolutely loathe COD, love TF2. They really play nothing alike past the surface level because movement is everything, and the low TTK is less of an issue because between your mobility and abilities, you're remarkably survivable. Agreeing with its similarities to Tribes also.

Mk so two questions about this hurr game which I'm trying not to spoil myself about: 1. Pre-order gets you a golden saber... but can you get a golden saber anyway in the game? Or is pre-order the only golden crystal path? Gold is my fav saber color since I was a kiddo so, you know, important 2. Recommended specs have a 1070.... is this going to be the game that won't run with my 970 and old af processor? Should I go PS4 (not pro) instead?

Not to turn this into the Titanfall 2 thread, but I really want to put a nail in the coffin for "Titanfall 2 multiplayer failed because it was like Call of Duty" Check out the beginning of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HaTmoQ6NGA&t=12s At one minute in you get to see some of the movement tech I was talking about.

Megaman's Jockstrap posted:I'm calling it now: the game is going to be really really good, and the reason you're not hearing a lot about it hype-wise is because Respawn's last game, Apex Legends, was surprise-released with zero marketing and made almost 200 million dollars in the first 3 months. I think that corporate is honestly trying to figure out how much of their huge 50m marketing budgets actually matter. It didn't have zero marketing. It had zero traditional marketing. lol they straight up paid a famous streamer a million dollars to play it for a solid day at release. That's marketing. And I'm sure it was not the only thing they did.
