Where the hell is the outro? It's like listening to a snappy-joke without a drum-snare to accompany it.
Hilariously derailing one liner! *SILENCE*
The content exists.
It's just 'coming soon' and packaged in DLC chucks.
And EA wonders why it is so hated.
They just don't seem satisfied with the hole one off payment system that has worked so well for many years,
why release a full game when you can release half of it at full price and then charge extra for the rest of its content,.. effectively holding it ransom until you give them more cash
story should not be fucking dlc
I don't think EA wonders at all, they like being a money hungry enterprise,who feeds on people's salary :P Just look at what they did with SWToR....unlock dungeons WEEKLY...yeah, nope, uninstall game...
*****
good too know , i don't actually have titan fall, i want it though. I'm glad to hear that ea are being reasonable-ish for a change.
Daniel Scott You poor poor poor buggers. 2018 here and the barrel is getting deeper.
"Titanfall: It's like playing Mecha Tom and Jerry" - Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw, 2014
"Mecha Tom & Jerry" sounds like the best video game ever.
@@PrinsaVossum Agreed.
when the video ends. everything is quiet for a second then i can here my self going "Bow BOWBOWBOOOO Bow BUHBOOBOWBOOO..."
Now it's five bucks. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
And the DLC is free lol
+William Blazkowicz I still play it
+Sir Anonymous Same
+William Blazkowicz
Still able to get full matches reliably while living in Australia.
Mfw I paid full price at launch
Damn it, bring back the damn end credits already!
Watch his videos in the Escapist website then.
It's got everyone out of sorts now. We're like Pavlov's dogs salivating at the expectation of hearing that generic metal start up so we can read funny quips in the credits.
Like i said before, MY EARS STILL DONT WANT TO BE RAPED.
You know, it's a win-win for you if you start watching the vids on the Escapist's website. Videos are uploaded a week in advance to their TH-cam release (inFAMOUS: Second Son is already up) AND you get the end credits. And all you have do is type in a different url.
TLB95Switchblade
type in a url? I havent done that for years!
I like how people don't realize $80 is a quarter of the price for a ps4
I like how people don't realize that a quarter of 400$ is 100$
Joop Abt So true
Joop Abt You know what i mean, $80 is pretty close to $100
Sunny Nagam Yes 80 and 1000 are mere decimals apart, just round it on up
Cooper Sheahan I think he meant $100
I bet the new CoD will have big robot dogs you can jump in.
***** Only after the first DLC. COD: Big Robot Fish III will introduce customizable fins and scales once you get the hardened seasons pass for a nominal.
Well, Ghosts is getting DLC where Snoop Dogg announces your kills. I guess they're going downhill fast.
*****
Navy Marine Mammal Program, where they trained Dolphins to look for mines and other dangers. It wont be long till we are riding Dolphins in to battle.
Jack Sparks
I am lost for words.
***** Yeah, to be honest they could have picked something a lot worse as DLC than Snoop being the announcer of kills. The only problem is it just seems like a gimmick that will wear off in a week.
It did something different which made it stand out, not as much the black dot on the white paper as the coffee ring on the magnolia table.
It doesn't really deserve the full price, but it's at least different enough to be something that stands out on the newest console generation.
I must admit, sometimes I watch Zero Punctuation episodes of games I actually don't like, just so I can hear Yahtzee put shit all over them.
styk0n why wouldn't you? He's funny and almost everything you hate will be validated by his opinions ^_^
It's like finding the perfect friend that hates the same things you do!
Ah, I see. They're bigger sellouts than Call of Duty.
"Here's a chocolate chip cookie! By the way, for your benefit, we've taken out the chocolate chips."
How about NO, Titanfall? How about NO?
These newer vids have gotten to the point where I need to have the ZP theme opened in another tab for the outro.
I do like Titanfall. I think it's pretty good in gameplay, setting and aesthetics, but by god, you hit the nail on the head here. For some reason I always click on these videos expecting much much worse but I always end up laughing in agreement at the end...
It's COD with mechs. I don't understand why there's so much denial. It doesn't feel or look different AT ALL. Lol. Even when you're in a mech it still feels like COD. It's so disgusting.
The game mechanics are not very similar to cod. once you add in the parcour aspect and mechs its a completely different experience. If anything a MUCh faster paced COD. I tried switching between the two and its very hard because COD just felt boring after Titanfall
js1joshy
I guess its like COD in the sense that its a 1st person twitch shooter with similar controls...but Yahtzee pretty much summed it up for us. definitely not worth $60 for me, I guess some people like that kind of stuff.
js1joshy cod felt boring before titanfall.
It's because Call Of Duty was getting so repetitive, and while on the surface Titanfall looks a lot like it, it has enough new elements to make it fun. In many ways the reason its so popular is because it is a breath of fresh air
Lunar Trooper yea not much of a difference between MW2 and Ghost
The multiplayer is nice, but I agree with the review that the game lacks content, the price is absurd. A $20 or $30 price would be okay
$20? The game certainly offers more than that
The campaign is complete worthless, it´s just a couple of multiplayers modes that are nice specially Attrition.
That´s what an only multiplayer only, normally charges, cs go was $20.
Sure in this case they could charge $30 for more updated textures and some new ideas like the titans.
But $60 + the premium is insane
Andy DiPirro id say more like 40-45$.
In the UK its £39 compared to approximately £56 for all other games. I am annoyed there's basically no single player. But oh well. For a £17 price reduction I can't complain. Plus, although a campaign is nice, its the multiplayer that has more people playing now days ( and its on the rise, quite dramatically)
Andy DiPirro
Not really. The campaign is an intro sequence and then a multiplayer game with some people talking into my ear while all the players do as well. I have no sense as to what's actually being said or done in this story. I like the fact that they tried, and I won't say they shouldn't have done it, but the fact that they charged full price for half of a game, is shit. 20-30 for a single player game, 20-30 for a multiplayer game, 50-60 for the two combined. That's how it should be.
Maybe this game should have went in the team fortress 2 route
change into a free to play hat simulator?
RandomGuy1994 !'d love to see a Titan wearing a top hat. So yes definitely.
I'm sure EA wouldn't mind the sales from hats
Call911imonfire YES
Team Fortress 2: Not pay to play, not pay to win.
Instead, it's pay to look good.
Nope, don't think I can take the absence of an outro anymore.
(I do not yet know whether this means I will switch to watching on the Escapist website or just forgo it entirely)
Maybe that bloke asked if you're jewish because you complained about the price.
Is that supposed to be a really dumb racist joke?
P.S. When team fortress 2, DOTA 2, and league of legends all exist, there is no excuse for having to pay full $60 for a multiplayer only game.
Cleath78 No, not really. Jews are often pretty tight with money.
Padruig9 what's tight with money may I ask?
Padruig9 That is kinda racist.
תומר אילן Hello Mr. Tomer, I think that the real racist is the guy who asked if he was Jewish.
I love the game, but I don't enjoy it as much because of the amount of content I get, compared to the price I paid. Meanwhile I bought Aliens Colonial Marines for less than $2. Is the game a piece of shit? Oh my god yes. But I'm able to enjoy it because I paid what I feel it was worth. (I'm not saying Titanfall is worth less than $2!)
Well, if you won't say it i will :P
Its overhyped graphics doesen't mean it's good...
I don't ever see graphics as a deciding factor on whether a game is good or not. Sometimes it is necessary in order to portray a particular atmosphere (Dark Souls comes to mind), but other than that I look at what makes the gameplay fun, how well that game executes the fun gameplay, and the quantity of fun that gameplay gives before things start feeling repetitive. To me, Titanfall is lacking in the latter. All I have to look forward to is leveling up and completing challenges to regenerate so I can level up while completing slightly different challenges.
***** The perfectly polished multiplayer gameplay (with the exception of burn cards), though, IS what means it's good.
Atleast you don't play this online game called aqworlds, its 2D and people are so addicted to it over the past 4 years they spent about thousands of dollars on this pointless piece of shit, true story.
Roventheus Blacklite I know people who spent hundreds of dollars on MMO games...
It's sick.
Imagine all the REAL stuff you could've bought!
Well, looks like he REALLY loves Dark Souls...
The only reason I dislike this game is the fact that it has good things to offer, but not enough for the price.
I love Titanfall, but Mr. Yahtzee speaketh the trutheth. Content is lacking for a full retail game. At least they actually added the ability to create private matches.
all its missing is a mediocre 5 hour campaign of bot matches and scripted helicopter chases that make fucks like you go "OHHH WOW GRAPHICS"
sod16 campaigns are there to tell you the story of a world, so yeah, I'd like a mediocre 5 hour campaign that actually tells me what the fuck is going on in this game
sod16
Expect his point was valid and you're the fuck here.
Also, the graphics are'nt impressive.
The same point was made you illiterate fuck
Maybe when your old enough to buy the shop without mummy there kid.
I'm conflicted about titanfall. As you said, it's a fun little shootey game, but it is a bit pricey. Along wot that, it is now the only reason anyone has origin besides battlefield, so the extra data taking up your space is dumb. Speaking of taking up data, I happened to notice that HOLY JESUS 50 GIGABYTE DOWNLOAD! Learn how to use a fucking compiler, respawn! I get helps it run all the sounds with less lag, it won't really matter if I have to factory reset my machine to keep it from max capacity and still have other games.
So what happens with this game when it's outdated and the servers are shut down? Wouldn't you just be left with an expensive paper-weight, provided you bought it on physical media rather than online?
....Kinda glad I decided to not get it.
You are making it sound like Titanfall is the only multiplayer-only game ever made, but there're dozens of games with no single player content. I've bought WOW and all the expansions and paid for over 6 years of subscription, I've also spent a ton of money on F2P games like LOL and DOTA2. I'm aware someday all of that money I've paid will cease to be of any value, but that doesn't mean it's not worth it. I view games as a service, not a product. I don't see any reason to worry about a game's value ten years from now as long as I am currently enjoying the process of playing it.
Rui Jiang
I *know* Titanfall isn't the only game like this, but that doesn't change the thrust of what I said.
Unlike you, when I purchase a game, I kind of expect to be able to play it ten years from now. I like buying a game, not renting it. When you get an online multiplayer only game, you're essentially paying a full-game's price for the privilege to only have so long to play it.
For that matter, I don't see how they couldn't have implemented player-on-bot matches. Team Fortress two did it just fine, so they don't really have an excuse, aside from either budget, companies rushing them, or outright laziness.
Good and don't play a game called aqworlds so many people wasted like thousands of dollars on it because its 2D pixels awe the eye, so funny.
...and you'll never have gotten to experience it! ;)
I don't think the game will ever run out of players, I've played it (at a friends) and its a lot of fun, and so long as your multiplayer only game is fun you can easily find others who will play it, just look at Natural Selection 2, I still play that game and I have no problem finding other players.
Though their system for unlocking new mechs is a piece of junk, its impossible to play campaign anymore as everyone else already has played through it, or already gave up on trying to play campaign when they couldn't find enough people, those wouldn't be too bad if you didn't need to play the campaign to unlick two Mech body variants, and if you didn't need at least 8 people to play the campaign when only three people at a time will ever show any interest.
1:11 - 1:27 It's EA. What did you expect?
This was 6 years ago. Not everyone knew what they would become
@@sineadthomas2024 EA was just as bad then as they are now.

"A jewelry-encrusted plate cover is lifted to reveal a single canola in the middle of a massive white platter.
A tasty canola, it's true.
And there are plenty of seconds to be had.
But do you really want to eat it when it's perfectly proportion [sic] for shoving up EA's ass?"
XD
I enjoyed this game. Probably because I got it and all its DLC for 12 bucks.
BricksPicks The DLCs all free now...
+Orcaman15 I got it for 12 bucks base game and then got the DLC for free.
+Iosif I its is a good game
And the sequel now has a single player
So, it's kinda fun but in the end feels pointless. Got it.
Kind of sort of. Depending on how much you like the genre, it could last you a very long time. I think I've got about 15 hours into it now and I don't really feel like stopping any time soon.
What happened to the outro? The in video advertisement isn't there (definitely a plus), but I miss the end video imp comics. They were always one of the highlights :(
You'll have to watch it on The Escapist website to see them :(
I was wondering why he kept harping about the price but 80 bucks? Jesus Christ thats an investment. Its 25% cheaper here.
It's always high in Australia.
Well in Australia we not only have stupid tariffs but because we're so isolated everyone decided they'll charge even more money to get the same stuff, since its much harder to try and sneak it in from elsewhere, everything from games workshop to steam costs at least 10% more than it does anywhere else.
Well, the minimum wage in Australia is higher than in the States, so that probably has something to do with it.
1337W422102 Yeah we Australians do have a higher wage which often leads to higher prices because these corporations and such know we can pay it, but frankly it often leads to such high prices that its completely unreasonable, and well beyond whatever advantage Australian individuals may have over an American in terms of money.
*****
Meaning they're getting charged roughly the same as us, just with bigger numbers?
I was playing Dark souls and got invaded in Anor Londo, My opponent and i bowed to one another. Then the fight was on! After we had landed some hit's it was clear i was stronger and was going to win, so for some reason he did the nicest thing ever and gave me 2 twin humanity's and banished himself after waving good bye. It made me cry a tear because he was so nice and sportsmanlike.
If you want a really good laugh, slow the speed down to half
(Rhyme unintended)
Dear god, he sounds drunk. Maybe that's how he records these, does it while he's drunk and then speeds it up by a half.
try 1.5 or 2 speed, I laughed my ass off because I could barely understand a word he said.
Dragonskateroffabulousness Nineteensixtynine
Go into the options (the tiny cog) and go to speed. It should be there, although it doesnt seem to be there for some videos/people.
eh, different things amuse different people
"One rather odd bloke asked if I was Jewish." I'm fucking dying!!!!! XD XD XD XD
I always thought it sucked that Titanfall was only multiplayer. It's a cool concept, but I suck at multiplayer. Games get less fun when you die every 5 seconds.
I agree, I think about the only exception is Dark Souls. Usually quick deaths make you feel like the game is either unbalanced, or that you're just an awful player (depending on if you rage or not)
***** While I haven't played it before, I think I can guess why. I think stealth games would also fit under the list of exceptions, no?
Git gud,
u just need practice, not trying to hate on you or anybody, just that practice makes perfect soooo yeah
Minecast Zyad48 There are 2 main problems that arise in these sort of multiplayer only games. Firstly, practicing is very difficult, because of the aforementioned deaths every 5 seconds. You can't really get good at these games in any realistic time frame, trust me, I have tried to get better at multiplayer games and usually it just ends up with me sitting there, no better at the game than when I started, wondering if I got anything out of the time investment. It takes a long time to get to the point where you are good at the game, and that's the second problem. A game in which you need to invest obscene amounts of time to get to the point where you can survive for more than 10 seconds is extremely inaccessible to the casual audience. Many people either don't have enough time to play or don't particularly want to spend their entire weekend staring at a respawn screen, hoping that one day they will be good enough, but never achieving anything. That being said, there are lots of games that allow one to get better, with ranked matchmaking and the like.
I've paid 75€ on this game (game day one purchase + season pass). I regret nothing, +400h in 2y and it's still fun.
Behold: a game with first person jumping that yahtzee doesnt complain about.
MrLego3160, Good lord the end times are upon us!
MrLego3160 because it isnt platforming
and not forced
I had a bad feeling for this, then everything went better than expected, I still don't see what's all the ruckus about Titanfall though. I'll get back to my cave now
Not worth the price is all.
Eschewed with the outro in these modern episodes haven't we Yahtzee?
What happened? Did the modern console generation take them away?
The outro always ear-rapes the shart out of me. I'm glad he's removed it lately.
The JOJ Well, I guess I liked it because in addition to getting all the copyright stuff out of the way, it was a last gasp for Yahtzee to make his opinion well and truly known.
Dragodonv2 Has nothing to do with the video but I must say I love it all the same but this is about you're avatar and I must say what do you think would happen if they had rainbow dash in a sonic game.
LordRazer3 Well, in answer to that, I have been writing a fanfiction about that very same thing here: dragodonv2.deviantart.com/art/My-Little-Hedgehog-Freedom-is-Magic-Chapter-1-347536465?q=gallery%3ADragodonv2%2F41250652&qo=4
Well, a crossover between the 2 comic book series anyway, since Twilight is still a unicorn.
But if you want the short answer: I think the Bronies and I would be THRILLED and the Sonic community would be LIVID to tell you the truth. There's enough descent and bickering in the Sonic community to almost eclipse the love and tolerance philosophy of the Bronies.
well that was one hell of a answer and one I did see coming but was happy to hear and now that I think of it to speed demons together wow talk about crazy fun. But hay if not for the haters the Bronies wouldn't have gotten this big so fast.
This.
What an eloquent thought!
That.
SnoWidget and the other
Sam Kirby ...And then some.
Why.
Titanfall is amazing, hands down the best FPS online game I've ever played. I'd rather have a great online or single player game than a game that has the other forced upon it.
I'm glad that you think it was worth eighty dollars.
Incidentally, I have the best chocolate bar in the entire world in my hands right now. It can be yours for 60 dollars.
Guitarzan1919 The thing is that if you enjoyed the game, it's more because of the effort you put into enjoying the game rather than the developers. It's like saying that you enjoyed playing a game of soccer and praising the inventor of the game and the person who set up the game for you to play it because you enjoyed it. The fact remains that the reason why you enjoyed playing soccer is because of the community surrounding the game, your own personal willingness to enjoy the game, and your friends/strangers commitment to enjoying the game with you. It has no story, it has very little variety, and despite having a very good multiplayer that does provide the fun I desire, it's simply not worth $60.
If you took away the community, if the world ended tomorrow and you were the only person left and that was the only game left, you wouldn't find nearly as much enjoyment out of it. part of that would be because the world ended and everyone you've ever loved died, but the other part would be in the way that the game is designed.
If the game was $20 I wouldn't have a problem with it. Big robots, fun shooting excitement, it sounds like a game I would enjoy. Even $40 is too much for a game like this, simply because it's multiplayer only.
Compared to a game like Bioshock, or Half-life, or Arkham City which rewards the person seeking a single-player experience by providing hours of story, fun levels/set-pieces, and a great online community, Titanfall falls short.
It's always fun to say "You're projecting", it seems to be the default internet 'Smart-guy' thing to do. In this case, i'm going to say "You're projecting your desire to stuff this delicious candy-bar up your ass"
XoxeroThePoet ...no, the game, it's mechanics, how well it was balanced, how well the mechs were executed, how it looked, the game types, all were fantastic.
I put more time and effort into this game than I have many others, and with any game I would rather have an amazing single or multiplayer than having one or the other tact on. saying it was only worth $20 is insulting to how great the game really is.
Now, the bioshock series is my favorite game series, I loved arkham city, and half life was amazing for it's time. That being said, I put just as much time with titanfall as I did with these games, and had a lot of fun. It falls short of nothing. What it comes down to is an overly entitled gaming community that can't get out of it's own way to enjoy anything. I'm frankly getting really tired of gamers like you shitting on everything because it doesn't fit your exact idea of a great game.
As for the projecting comment, "Shove it up your ass" is a common phrase in the english language. Here is another common phrase, I find you to be up your own ass, and you're a gaming elitist prick.
I never said that I didn't enjoy the game. I gave reasons as to why I did enjoy and why other people would enjoy it. What I said was that I didn't think that it was worth $60, especially since it was a multiplayer-only game.
Trust me, a multiplayer game is arguably the easiest type of game to make. The fact that the graphics are good and the mechanics are good is something to be expected from AAA games, especially since the developers are paying quite a bit of money to make it so.
And that's the problem that I have with the game, or at least one of them. it's not the game itself that I dislike, it's the commerce behind it. The graphics make up for it's price tag because they look nice and idiots will pay for something that looks nice. There's no story (or a very generic story) because game stories are more difficult to make, and they tend to generate criticism and controversy that could harm sales.
To put it simply, the reason why it has no story is to boost sales. The reason why it's expensive is because they want to make as much money as quick as possible so that they can move onto their next project.
As for your argument that you'd rather have a great Single-player or a great multi-player game, I agree with that. The problem is that a multi-player game where you can simply create maps, program a set of game mechanics and allow players to play with each other requires less work than a single-player campaign. Since the effort that goes into creating a multi-player game is essentially the same work that goes into creating a single-player campaign, except without the interconnecting story, the programmed set pieces, the AI, the save/load features and everything else that is expected of a single-player campaign.
What i'm saying is that because it requires less effort to create, it should be sold at a lower price. If you had $60 worth of fun with your copy of Titanfall than that was probably more because of the effort you put in to liking the game than anything else. It's like how people tried to excuse the Metal Gear demo for selling at $40. Yes, you could spend hours striving for 100% completion or simply exploring the map. But does that really excuse the developer for selling it at a high price? Some might say yes, but I disagree.
Yes, it is a common phrase. The fact that you chose to use it is what I was referring to rather than the phrase itself. You could have told me to do something else with the candy bar, and you chose to tell me to shove it up my ass. In any case, I was making a joke and you chose to take it seriously. What does that say about you?
XoxeroThePoet again, all I'm hearing is that you're a self-entitled and your problems with the game is it doesn't have the exact things you would demand
So what I got from this was: He likes it, but it lacks content, there should have been more.
If that is what he ment I agree fully. I think they could have done more, speically something with the Titans. Except for Last Tian Standing, its just another weapon in your arsenal, which can use different weapons itself that is, that can be taken down by anyone with the skill, with or without their own Titan. I know, Ive done it.
I think you're right on, except I'll add a little: "He likes it, but it lacks content, there should have been more, or it should have been priced lower."
AnotherPostcard The reason why I didnt say lower the price is because I want there to be more content to justify the price.I truly hope that they roll out a BIG update in the future that adds whats missing to put it simply.
Aragorn195 That would do it, if they don't make you buy the new content.
Aragorn195 For more money, because marketing wasn't cheap and they already have season pass for additional 25$
Aragorn195
EA releasing content for FREE on a multiplayer game they tried to shove up everyone's ass for a higher price than what was deserved? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
What the....Where is our beloved outro!?
This bad boy is a huge disk space hog, the PC install is 48GB. That's outrageous on all counts and is among the chief reasons why I will not get Titanfall also the game-play gets stale rather quickly.
36 gigs of it is sound,i installed it yesterday
I hope you have fun with it, I just 1) don't have the disk space 2) don't see what all the hype is about.
I didn't see what the hype was about either. I never do. But after playing Titanfall for free on Origin, I decided to buy the game and season pass.
I was very impressed with the looks/performance ratio. It looks very good but runs flawlessly even in heavy action. I'm talking 1080p, 8xEQAA, everything on High. Constant 60 fps. Never a single drop to 59 even. GPU is R9 290 Windforce OC.
So you can see the gameplay footage and know what the game is about, and that for me didn't get the hype up. But playing it myself really did. All I'm saying. Titanfall is a masterwork. Not the greatest game ever made, online is far to chaotic and repetative to be truely the greatest of all time, but the game itself is crafted to perfection. The gameplay is balanced, the weapons are varied yet all effective, the maps are well designed so you always have somewhere to dart when you see an enemy Titan while on foot, the list could go on.
I'm not saying it's the second coming, I'm just saying it actually delivered what it promised. It wasn't swamped in lies or fake gameplay footage.
The only thing about the game that is a failure is the campaign mode, or more specifically, the fact that you have to complete it to unlock the different Titan models for your custom kits.
About this idea of "hype", seems to me, the media can only push something so far. If the people don't bite, it won't grow. So "hype" is directly connected to the mob, meaning the general population at large. In other words, you get yourself hyped or you don't. You are part of the mob or aren't you? I am not which is why I don't pre-order games. You want me to decide to buy something without even knowing what I'm getting? Are you crazy?
Philp Yung I am glad you are having fun with it but I played it on the box for a while and it just got way to stale way to fast for me.
Wait let's get this right, you say the the game play gets stale quickly, but you haven't even bought the game?
Shooters with FALL IN THE NAME....SHOOTERS WITH FALL IN THE NAME...... :)
ah yes the comparison review lol
out of the 4 games ive played with FALL in the name, ive liked 3 of them, unless you dont count fallout... then only 1.
What games have you played? Besides the fallouts I mean.
Splitside47 Killzone Shadow Fall and Resistance Fall of Man. ive played titanfall too but only a few times, i don't own it.
Never planned to get this, but if it IS mostly multilayer like CoD or somesuch, what will happen once everyone stops playing it to go to the new pasture, or the servers decide to host the next failed MMO?
That's the problem I've always come up about online multiplayer games. Even if there were always people playing the game, there's the issue of servers which are physical things that must be owned by someone who might get them better use eventually. Source games allow for players to setup their own computers as servers, but them DRM and the like gets a bit more difficult to implement.
Liroku Toragi "Move on to"
HAHHAHA. AHHAHA. AHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAA.
Peer to peer server hosting is utter and complete vomit that should have never existed. Dedicated servers are superior in just about every single way. A game with dedi servers will be popular for longer and thus still have running servers LONG after the same game with peer to peer servers would have died from everyone fucking hating peer to peer.
The host system is shit. Please never pretend it isn't ever again.

i disagree. Peer to peer isn't all that bad, and in fact could be better than dedicated servers in some instances (mainly those where the people have no experience or will to learn how to run a dedi)
H.M. Murdock Well most PC games have a host match system if you just want to test something out or play with a couple of buddies which I think you were referring to. I was criticizing the host system as a replacement for dedicated server support. It's unacceptable, but obviously the best is having both as options.
garthbartin
oh yeah, that was what i was referring to and completely changing it to P2P would be disgusting. it is good to go in and mess around with some bots and buddies, but not as a real server. games like Borderlands 2 works pretty well with P2P server hosting, but that's really only 4 people playing at a time
i don't like shooters. But I can at least say some do try to add context to the story so I wouldn't be just running around shooting things, which is just part of what makes a game. I want my context!
Could totally use a snoop dogg voice pack.

Titanfall 2 is far better. Fixed all the bad stuff. Added more good stuff.
I know you're eventually gonna shit on it, but you're gonna have to admit how much you love the fluid and dynamic movement, haha
Played a bit of the campaign... I would say it has doom's speed but COD like rooms IDK.
The game was pretty fun tho...
Durzio What killed Titanfall 2 for me was the removal of starting with the Smart Pistol. I frequently played with it on and off and found more amusement in a standoff with two Smart Pistols than I ever found in mechs. Now it's an unlock, killing the balance of it and removing the option for newcomers to have an equal footing.
Death_Metal_Gamer the smart pistol desperately needed some balancing, and it's still fairly easy to get.
Well you're certainly productive. I provided reasoning for my stance. Do you have any, or are you just here to light a fire? If that's not the case, head back to Reddit. People don't reason as much there; that's why I left.
I love the allusion of the game (and in my opinion most mainstream FPS's) to an amusement park ride, because its sole purpose is to entertain the audience, although admittedly you can see this as either a good or bad thing.
Considering video games are an entertainment industry, isn't the goal of most games to entertain the audience? I mean, there's something to be said about artistic endeavors, but even then, entertainment is still a major, if not primary, goal of almost all media, especially mass-produced media.
I suppose, although when I say its sole purpose is to entertain I see it as the game essentially fellating the player until s/he inevitably ejaculates in a mist of his or her own self-indulgence amidst sounds and colours, which again is fine if one simply wants to feel happy from a game.
I agree that entertainment is a major goal of all media including games, but I seem to notice two types of games.
In one, the entertainment is not only the primary but the only value (as I say, imo this is most popular FPS's. Which is fine.) and in the other there is also an aspect of challenging the player mentally, provoking interesting and controversial ideas.
I don't really think either of these are 'better' types of games, but I just noticed and thought an 'amusement park ride' is a good way of differentiating one from the other.
I guess entertainment is a very vague word to use, I basically meant 'making the player happy from instinctive grounds (nice graphics, sounds, shooting things), as opposed to intellectual grounds'.
TJForceIX It is, but for a price of a full game, which has a good single player and a good multiplayer gameplay experience. And This game lacks the former..you it should cost half the price...
Péter Lakatos
Using that logic, so should most recent multiplayer-focused shooters. Because all of their singleplayer campaigns are absolutely shit. The whole 'content' argument is kind of null when that content can be enjoyed for hundreds of hours.
SO it's prety much what I thought it was,a great game,that should have an actual single player mode
But there is SOOOOOOOOO much room for exploring this universe, if Respawn Entertainment can give it time. I mean, sure the game is the most fun I've had in a AAA title minus South Park: The Stick Of Truth, but sometimes I don't want to be on the ground; I WANNA BE UP IN ONE OF THE STARSHIPS, fireing it's weapons, helping the grunts make another Piolets (< Shit spelling) Titan, I wanna be evading enemy AA fire, I wanna take on those Flying alien Dinosaurs I see in the background, I mean THERE IS SOOO MUCH UNIVERSE to explore here. EVEN Yahtzee thinks the gameplay is Fun, so that means IMPROVE your game Respawn.
Zelousmarineinspace It still gives them no rights of coming up with such a poorly produced game concept when they had been working on it for over 3 years
It looks like it's just Call of duty with giant robots.....
Well, there's a lot of parkour, too, but it's a "realistic"-style shooter. What do you expect?
That's what I thought when I saw it. But I played it and it's totally different. And the "Burn Cards" are a completely new and pretty neat feature.
It's Halo of Duty w/ bots & no SP for full price, bro. Game of the fucking Year!
colonelboston No its Unreal Tournament 3 with mechs, no varied factions, little to no story, retreating, new jumping mechanics, health regeneration, and sprinting.
***** Nothing wrong with OLD FPS games...other than the clapped out graphics...the gameplay is still damned good! its the modern mechanics that make any game that uses them an instant pile of trash IMO.
So basically this game is the best thing an EA game can aspire to be.
Where's the ending?
Currently having a discussion with the cannoli up in EA's bum hole.
Wow...its like EA never learn from their mistakes...
+njintau Not while they are making all the money they are now.
+njintau The only thing EA considers a mistake is something that doesn't bring enough money.
LG Kärlek And when they buy the rights to a game and micropayment the shit out of it the sales for that game same as the play rate drop dramatically and then they shut down the game which means they just ruined a perfectly good and decent game.
there was a titanfall 2 ad before this :D
I miss the credits.
It does lack some content, but it's still the most fun i've had in a video game in a long time, and considering it's the first game from a fairly small development team, i really don't care spending full price for it. Other developers may have put a lot more time into the content of games, but I'm still gonna spend a lot more time playing this game.
FANBOY ALERT
Doge Dog Nothing about his comment seemed like fanboyism to me. Just an honest account. Stop dismissing everyone who isn't a critic as a fanboy, it's old and meaningless.
dude, srsly i was jk
sry doge
Cory the hedgehog
doesn't make it any less fun
The ending tho
games logic everything else can be the same shit over and over but as long as its a good ending it was worth the money........
212Blackace So, you're saying a good ending, that you can search on TH-cam at ANY TIME FOR FREE is worth $60?
hell no what you just stated was the point I was trying to make, most gamers (not me) will cry over a game if it doesn't have the perfect ending
Sorry, must've misread that. :/ People are dumbassess about stuff like this, so I kinda believed you might be as well.
212Blackace
Just noticed this but i was reffering to the end of the video itself.
"Most people said " Nope", Some people said "WAR" and then started quoting Edwin Star lyrics, and one rather odd bloke just asked me if I was Jewish." - Yahtzee
I'd pay to see a movie in which Yahtzee plays Jason.
Sorry, what's titanfall? I'm too busy being killed by ornstein and smough, knight artorias, and Ms Spider arse to know about these things
So... grab it when it hits the discount bin?
***** na it will become unpopular in at least a few months
sorry, sarcasm can't really be seen well in writing. ma bad :P
DerpyMcWaffles Because Satire has never been a literary genre.
Katrina Payne
Guys we're talking about EA. They're gona keep their shit prices up as high as they can for as long as they can. Just to show, "Hey see we're not hurting, we didn't need your dirty money anyway."
justjosh0123 Yeah... I'm just going to spend my money on other games then...
Spongebob: You like Titanfall, don't you Yahtzee?
I played the beta and it's a fun game, but lacking on content. For $60 there should be more weapons, customizations and mechs to choose from. There are a good amount of maps, but I would have to wait until it's on sale before I can consider buying Titanfall. The "smart" pistol also damn near ruins the game for me with its noob aim-assist crap. If you want to play a good fast-paced mech FPS then I would recommend Hawken.
And if you want quick parkour play Brink. Actually don't, pretty much has the same issue as Titanfall :/
They nerfed it, it really isn't reliable anymore. The new OP weapon is the shotgun now.
The heavy sniper is pathetic, it has fucking bullet travel time, unlike Halo's sniper. So great, I have a slow firing weapon with bullet travel time, fantastic... might as well use the light sniper and shoot them twice.
akiflyer I can definitely see that since I could get 1 shot kills with it pretty easily in the beta.
wait...... Titanfall is Multiplayer only? ';. \
as in only online or local gameplay? ';. (
no campain? o.O
only ONLINE multiplayer even. that's it. online or die.
Tyrant Gea is it?
Dont get the game it has a total of 13-17 pilot weapons and 3 titans and 6-8 10 minute campaign levels
RedReviews1212 oh so it has a campain ';. )
ThePaalanBoy The campaign is a set of 9 multiplayer matches with some extra dialogue over the top, that's it.
Agree 100%
I got the game for a free 48 hours on Origin just to see why it was insisting so badly that I gave it a try, but I never truly intended to pay for more. Therefore, the one thing that really bothered me was how little the titans actually help. I already carry weapons that can take titans down and can do high-tech parkour. Why the hell would I hop into ANOTHER titan and make myself a much bigger and slower target?
***** The eternal question of the game...and thank GOD for the auto-titan TBH.
+ThatOneBoss You can't get one-shotted and you gain stronger attacks?
You're the kind of player I killed a thousand times by firing a rocket barrage into an open window. =P
Felix Farside *CLUSTER MISSILES!*
"one bloke asked if I was jewish" lmao
But they don't have the Back to the Future ride anymore...It got replaced by The Simpsons a couple of years ago
Yahtzee does have it right, the game is great fun but it lacks in content.
In terms of matchmaking, I have the same problem with "The Last of Us". The matchmaking sucks! At one point, I was a level 2 player fighting against someone who was a level 402 player. All I did was die a lot and piss off my teammates.
A level 402 player?
Hey buddy the max level is 50. Unless someone hacked to the fake level 402.
So is it like Brink but with giant robots as far as plot goes?
There is no plot, and it's nothing like brink
Norha820 You blatantly haven't played the game then. Because there is a storyline. And it is extremely similar to brink.
Kieran Owens You have apparently not played the game because the powdered story line is nothing but white noise when your inside a hectic multiplayer match, so there isn't a point of it being there. The only similarities with Brink are freerunning.
First of all. It may just be " White noise " as you describe it. But it is still a storyline. It still does have a story with set pieces and so on. Such as at the start of the mission before the final one. When a titan controlled by an NPC leads an all out assault. Smashing through an enemy stronghold wall to let the army through.
And no. not just the free-running. At all.
They are both dual faction, online-play prioritized ( And in titanfalls case, Solely online play. ) first person shooters with a distinct set of goals that must be completed in the campaign game type. They are both rather heavily focused on teamwork to win attitudes. And much like brink they have AI grunts in place of empty player-slots.
They're also both abysmally short in content. I haven't played it since a week after its PC release. Though for Titanfall this could be explained by the company behind it being simply wanting to sell as much DLC as they can.
Also it doesn't suck
I actually think Titanfall is one of the best multiplayer FPS I've played (I play it on PC, don't know about the console version). I got it on sale and all the DLC was free when I got it, so I agree that the price was too high for what they actually offer. However, from a gameplay point of view I'd much rather play Titanfall than a new CoD or Battlefield. Titanfall still has the best 3D movement of any FPS I've played, and the fast pace on-foot combat intermixed with the titan combat is really fun. The biggest shame is only about 350-500 people are playing it at any given time.
Console version is also very good. The controls are rather well done and even playing with a controller doesn't really affect the flow of the game.
Can't help but feel every time that you, Mr. Yahtzee, review things that I find myself in complete agreement. I am content with this though as it just means I don't have to argue with you about it, you've got my back.
For me, the game got old pretty quick and while it's a shooter making each session different from the next due to the player-factor, there still isn't enough to keep me playing it.
Which is sad because it's a really expensive game.
I feel like this game was a Massive disappointment... It's just CoD with mechs. And since CoD is worth less than garbage, Titanfall is garbage with mechs, or in better words.. Robot Garbage.
So its real steel? haha
Titanfall has verticality, cod doesn't have it, how iz it liek cod?
Oh boy, a heavily modified (and glitchy) source engine piece of shit CoD game with a little bit of Mirror's Edge.
Original, amirite?
You are terribly mistaken.
By no means is this game glitchy in the slightest and with source engine the netcode is majestic. The parkour is a huge aspect of the game's enjoyment and it is only comparable to CoD in the shooting mechanics, but so is every FPS game, right?
EatinPixels No.
Quake, Unreal Tournament, Counter-Strike, and Half-Life to name a few aren't comparable to that piece of shit.
Hiukuss Well, yes they are. They all have first person shooting elements with guns.
EatinPixels
Someone who never played them. I own Titalflop and Quake 3+UT, and therefore i can speak about them.
-Gameplay in CoD: Select your desired loadout and start match, aimdownsights to be able to hit anything, hide to magically heal
-Gameplay in Titanfall: Select your desired loadout and start match, aimdownsights to be able to hit anything, hide to magically heal
-Gameplay in Quake/UT: Shoot 100% accurately from the hip while running 100mph because it's about fun and not realism, look for medpacks and armor when you need them.
Quake UT gameplay happens to be completely differenet, more challenging and actually alot more fun, since people don't just randombly die when you shoot someone in the toe or finger once.
If EA had been willing to give Respawn more time to work on Titanfall before releasing it, half of the problems brought up in this video would have been resolved before the game even launched.
But when has EA ever made an intelligent decision to delay a release that is clearly in dire need of more development time. Never, which is why every single EA game from the past 3 years has been downright awful for the first couple months after release. And don't even get me started on Battlefield 4, that misrable pile of blurry, grey/brown, half-baked, reused assets isn't even worthy of being called a "game". Games are supposed to bring entertainment, not despair.
So give it a "Pass" got it.
The game IS fun, but it feels incomplete.
No splitscreen
No offline multiplayer
No offline campaign
No offline anything, really, which is something I have a problem with
No firefight-esque missions
It really isn't worth the 80 bucks
So glad I didn't buy into this hypestorm.
The gameplay is ok for maybe a 30$ game, not more.
There are games that have more interesting multiplayer (like Natural Selection 2) as well as ability to create your own maps and mods, not being locked in by EA greed (selling map packs? lol)
Titanfall would probably be a good game...if it had the other 95% of content other full price retail games have...
its more of a 60% lack of content but its 40% of a normal game it is it dose it grate
What's your thoughts on titanfall 2
I'm surprised Yahtzee didn't mention Mirror's Edge or Battlefield 2142 in this review. Also, to anybody whose going to bitch about Infamous not being reviewed, he just did it in the Escapist website.
There is more content and depth in games like warframe and that is free-to-play. It disgusts me that games like titanfall can be sold at such a price
Least they didn't pull a Metal Gear Ground Zeros, that like ONE level was $40.
*****
It was $40 at first.
I can't defend Ground Zeros either, what if other companies start pulling the same thing?
here is are 5 or 6 levels, approach them as you please.
just because you have a lot of "content" in a few levels doesn't dignify that price.
you can complete that in 2-3 hours. replay value is opinionated to the users.
Later on, you'll be playing that price for a MGSV: phantom pain a full game. way more than 6 levels,way more content.
You do have a very valid point on titanfall and games not being able to stand without online.
I would say titanfall's focus is multiplayer, but that doesn't dignify the campaign.
IF you doing both, they should be strong Single player and Multiplayer.
but I think they both are at vault..
Sure gameplay can be awfully fun these days but seriously if it has no plot there really isn't much point for those of us with more complex minds than a fucking sheep. Titanfall is fun but it's far too easy to compare to COD multiplayer in which you can spend countless hours to get better shit but in the end offers nothing to stimulate your brain. Though that seems to be what many video game developers are trying to do to us today is turn us into mindless thralls spending our money on things we already have but looks slightly different. There's just very little imagination anymore and it really makes me sad for the entertainment industry.
When ever I'm afraid I might spend money on a game I just watch zero punctuation. My urge quickly diminishes.
It's hard for Zeropunctuation to make any game look "good." But Yahtzee did say he had a ton of fun with it, and that does seem like the consensus.
Besides, if you can find this game for $20 - $50: BUY IT. But because of AUS's fucked up prices, it costs more here.
The lack of story's gotten even worse now because they cut out the in-between mission sections where the talking heads give a bit more information. Now they just throw you right into the fight.
Not that it matters, it can really be summed up as "Milita is loosing, Deus ex MacCallin happens, IMC gets its ass kicked (EVEN IF YOU WIN AS THEM IN GAME TOO), heroic sacrifice, nothing change."
Well weakened
There's other planets and the second one suggests that the Resistance will be bad
i...i think he kind of liked it
Tell me, Average user that watches this show, were you surprised when he said what we all where thinking?
I had to set the speed to 0.5 to understand what he was saying.
he sounds high
ahahaha that is genius :D sounds like he is drunk :D
I was waiting for the music at the end, but it didn't happen :
Titanfall is a technical masterpiece. It runs flawlessly on high settings. The guns are all useful but different. The maps are very good except for 1 or 2 of them.
You must give credit where credit is due.
But I feel like hit detection or time-to-kill is all over the place and I don't know. One moment I take an enemy down in 3 shots, next moment they soak up an entire clip and keep running.
It's not, I'd define a technical masterpiece as having very minimal flaws within its design, and seeing as though the majority of the game was flawed at release I'd say what you're saying is incorrect, the "story" of the game is very hard/annoying to keep up with (this is a big deal if you're talking about a game being a technical masterpiece as incorporating a story into a game is the foundation you build everything on, well 9 out of 10 times anyways.) The characters are un interesting and cliché too which again would fall under poor game design (don't forget it's the whole package, level design, story, character design, gameplay mechanics etc)
Every time I go to play it seems they have patched something else in or moved something elsewhere, which going back to your statement is definitely NOT the mark of a masterpiece if you're still finishing and fine tuning everything after release, I get some bugs need to be fixed, but they've reworked so much and it's not even been out a year. That being said for all its flaws i do agree with you, it's an insanely fun game and I do enjoy playing it every now and then, masterpiece though, it is not.
oKApplejack Runs great oh high settings, guns are all useful but different. Map design never feels bad.
Technical masterpiece. You didn't counter anything I said, you just started bringing up things like story and patches.
Philp Yung the reason for the time to kill/hit detection issue is because the net code could use a little work. Not as bad as cod but they hide it behind lag compensation. It appears to run well on high settings but response times vary so widely that it results in combat issues. The game feels repetitive and unrewarding most of the time as well. The game does look good but that's all I can really say about it. That and they did a great job with the mechs.
I liked Titanfall's gameplay a lot, but since I don't like multiplayer shooters much (or should I say, I don't like the multiplayer shooter community much), I can't say I'd throw down $60 on it.
I think Yahtzee should review Outlast because it can be pretty frightening
Yahtzee should review Mosnter girl quest
kalil6
Oh dear lord...now that would be something.
ArcLightShock37 it would, wouldnt it
kalil6
You win all the internets. This needs to happen.
kalil6 Best idea ever, Yahtzee, hear this guy and review Monster Girl Quest NOAW !
Kids keep complaining, Game companies keep on making , Kids keep on pre-ordering, I keep on waiting for them to go on sale. Thanks kids.
Back to the future has been gone from Universal for years, thus, this review is bullshit.
Why is it Bullshit?
Do you live in Australia? No. Ergo, your argument is invalid.
Ah yes, one joke being slightly dated completely discredits the review. Your way of thinking is most interesting, sir.
gingervampireFTW ...you say as you stroke your neckbeard and tip your fedora in euphoria.
MyUsernameWasTaken Well, I do have a neck beard, but I do not have a fedora. I suppose that was a very neckbeardy thing to do. Sorry.
So let me get this strait, Titanfall gets slandered and ridiculed for being "Storyless and lacking variety" so the makers of Destiny sat back and said "Hey! We could do that too!!!" Anyone else nervous about the future of gaming at this rate? I'm dead serious here, they NEED to let us return crappy games again, because this won't end until they start loosing money on making lackluster games. (And people stop being dumb enough to defend 10 mins of gameplay because "It handles well.")
GamaScythe I loved titanfall and would rather have great online or single player rather than having either tact on to try to make everyone happy.
Ha, funny you should mention that, because I recently tried Titanfall, (It was a free trial on Origin) and hated it. I had more content on the War For Cybertron multiplayer than I had in Titanfall. I'll admit, I getting blasted to 1000 tinny little bits on the first map because there's no true match making or *coughs* story mode, kind of killed progression for me. But I don't see the appeal of getting stomped because you aren't even used to the controls yet and they've been doing this since launch. {That being said I do understand your point, I just don't think charging full price for THIS is justifiable. Although all that is a very personal decision.}
GamaScythe blah blah. I got it on the one, not the pc. I would never subjugate myself to the an fps on pc. that game plays amazing, is kept challenging by the, well, challenges, especially those needed to regen, and they even added extra game types, which were awesome, for free. You bitch about not knowing the controls, well, too fucking bad learn. I much prefer a controller for the kind of verticallity in this game, and I was very good at it. If I had to go back and choose to do this again, I would because it was one of the best online games I've ever played and I put more hours into it than many games I've played and owned.
GamaScythe You act like shitty games have not always existed. Plus Titanfall's game play is pretty legit.
Either you people commenting can't read or you're reading WAY into things! I never said shitty games are new, all I said was that in the shit storm around games like Titanfall and Evolve being overly priced for the amount of content in them games like Destine just covered their ears and eyes and said "No, I'm not listening! Still can't hear you!"
play hawken...... its titian fall minus the CoD
Or even MechWarrior online.
Hawken is CoD in a mech costume. There is no weight to any of the mechs. It's very arcadey, and not very Mechy.
Did any of you ever play Virtual On? Best mech fighter ever imo
BeholdJesse Never heard of it. Was the 360 port any good?
I heard it was. The guy who did the designs for the mechs in Gundam designed all the mechs for it. It was a rare find in the states in arcades, but was big over in Japan
£80? More like £8 for me. I'd say the price is pretty reasonable.
Worth a play not worth buying an X Box Yuan.
It is a great game and can also can be bought for PC and 360 not just one.
grunt gunner00 yeah I know i have it on PC lol :P i say that cos it was meant to be one of the Xbones party pieces but it falls short of being a system seller imho.
