I tried it because of all the hype. Overrated. The wall running was okay at best. Mirror's Edge did a better job with the parkour stuff.

Welshy1314d ago

Mirrors Edge is specifically designed almost 100% around parkour, if it's movement wasn't more in depth than a game that also included arcade shooting mechanics and giant mechs then that would be more of a bad indictment on Mirrors Edge than Titanfall.

Instead of comparing apples and oranges, look at the Titanfall's fluidity vs virtually any shooter to this day and it's still leagues ahead.

I wouldn’t say Titanfall 2 changed the FPS genre. It was just a very good FPS game.

Welshy1314d ago (Edited 1314d ago )

I wouldn't say it changed the genre, but it wouldn't be unfair to say it raised the bar and set the standard I'll compare other FPS games to just like Respawn's (OG Infinity Ward's) COD4 did before it.

It's campaign alone is well up there with classic FPS campaigns like Halo and the MW trilogy imo.

I'd love a TitanFall 3! Highly underrated.

Inverno1314d ago

It didn't change anything. PUBG did tho, and so did Overwatch and now practically every shooter is filled with a BR mode, and a stupid obsession with pointless skins and loot boxes. The only thing Titanfall 2 got was abandoned by it's developer for a BR game that isn't half as fast paced and fun as T2

Wow… Nintendo is champ in Japan, but the speed of sale is remarkable.

Proves that console gaming isn’t dead yet not by a long shot.

I guess the resistance against always online and digital only consoles is BS. The people have voted with their wallets.

What are you talking about? Switch 2 is neither always online nor digital only.

DivineHand1251d 5h ago

Nintendo can literally block your Switch 2 console from accessing their online services at any time. When that happens, it becomes a brick. You won't even be able to play those games that use game key cards that are not installed on the console. Some users who have been blocked tried factory resetting their system, and when they tried to boot it up with a new account, they are stuck.

Speaking of game key cards, the majority of third party publishers have opted to use those instead of loading their full game on those cartridges. Imagine having a library of game key card games and going on a long trip but not being able to play a particular game because you need to connect to Nintendo servers to download the game first. It is not like the old days where you just plug in and play.

Game key cards make sense for large games like GTA, Red Dead, or COD, but I don't see why publishers who have games with sizes less than 32 GB need to use that option.

If you try to mod your system it could get banned from online play like every single system since the ps3 and xbox
