I know it's weird actually commenting about the game and not commenting about the commenting, but...

RIP Mythic. Dark Age of Camelot was great in its day (I even made a silly online newspaper devoted to one of its realms), and I really liked Warhammer Online, even though I didn't play it for very long.

I'm finding it difficult to take your opinions seriously based on this thread. I'm guessing you don't care. Hence, why would you assume this person who considers Titanfall a great game cares what you think?

I'm never sure where to place articles like this, that are so subjective and so rooted in the writer's personal experiences. I'm not suggesting she should be "objective," whatever that even means in the context of judging a creative work. But a lot of her feelings about her time with the game were heavily influenced…

I think part of the problem is that a not-insignificant part of the audience for games like this has a set expectation of what should be in these games, and when you mess with the formula they panic.

Ah, I can already see the random games...

New game mode: Last Titan Fishing, wherein players compete to catch the biggest fish. Don't catch a boot!

I'm generally pleased with the new matchmaking, but I don't understand why people keep saying "level is not an indication of skill" as if that's actually the key issue.

You can debate whether a monthly subscription is better than F2P service with non-essential transactions, after you buy the game, but I don't think you can credibly argue that it's sound to release a major game literally for free. There's too much money at stake, publishers are too greedy, and the less it "seems" like…

Wow, both of those replies are incredibly condescending, each in its own special way.

Most of the things you're describing are intentional. Yes, I get that gamers love toys and this game doesn't have as many toys to play with as some other shooters. I think their intent was to make the core gameplay more fun and varied, and streamline everything else. Whether you think they've done that is a personal…

With this fresh infusion of capital, gentlemen, we shall build the greatest Skinner box this world has ever seen.

I assume this is fake, but I guess I could be wrong. (I don't mean that Obama's voice is fake, I mean that this is not actually in-game chat. But maybe that's the joke. I have never heard anyone chat in Titanfall.)

The thing is, building a hedge maze in Minecraft sounds like both work and play... so what does that make Jack? Moderately interesting?

Agree with all of that. I am not a hardcore shooter fan at all, but it doesn't really matter in Titanfall, because every game has those crazy moments that make the game a blast. I don't even know what my overall K/D is and I doubt I'll even look. Who cares? That's not to say I don't care if my team wins, or whether I…

Ultimately you would get tired of that as well, though... everyone wants to play people of similar skill level, and whether you're getting repeatedly destroyed or you're winning effortlessly, you'll get bored if there isn't a reasonable challenge. This is not a new issue, and most FPS devs don't seem to care. But…

Agreed with all the positive comments here! My only real gripe so far is that at least half of the games I've played have been a total rout, with one side completely stomping the other. I don't know if that's actually a matchmaking issue or if it can't be helped (it's not uncommon in FPS games), but it's only going to…

I realize everybody says this about Titanfall, but I really think that's the key to what Respawn has accomplished here. They took a genre known for being brutal and unforgiving to noobs, and found a way to make it fun for them even if they're getting their asses kicked. I often feel I had a great match and then I look…

Actually it appears that's what it does when your guess has been taken but there are no spaces in it... if you add a space it immediately looks up your word, but not if you include no spaces. Or something.

Yeah, it's pretty much impossible to rename a word at the moment. "Something went awry. Please try again later..."
