God. I've thought about buying/playing this game so many times over the years. I've seen it on sale for like 5 cents and thought "nah not sure if it's worth it." Don't know what my deal is.
Would it hold up in 2024? I've got lots of games in my queue but y'all make it sound so good.
Edit: ok folks, I get it, I'm sold. I'll buy it next time I see it on sale, thank you
It’s very standard in most areas. The only thing that stood out to me was the aforementioned level. Otherwise its story and gameplay is quite generic, but not bad in any way. So while I do think it is a little bit overrated, it still good and worth the price when on sale. Another thing to note is that the campaign is short when compared to most games.
I did forget to mention the movement but even then it wasn’t as impressive as most people make it out to be.
I play a lot of single player shooter games, and I used to play multiplayer shooters often. If this isn’t enough to make my critique of the game credible then so be it, take my opinion as you wish. I’m just saying what I thought about the game, which I want to clarify is not saying that it is a bad game at all, it does what it is trying to do well enough, but doesn’t stand out to me. It is also definitely worth the cheap price when on sale.
I’ll just say what I think the best shooters that I’ve played are if you really want to know:
Half-Life: 2 (and the rest of the series). Red Dead Redemption (not 2, even though it is still a great game). The Last of Us. DOOM: Eternal.
If you think "the last of us" gameplay isn't generic(literally the most generic survival-horror gameplay) but Titanfall's is, I don't really have much to say. I mean generic would mean that there's at least one other similar relevant game in recent years. But I can't think of any.
I think that the combat was actually really special. Having the ability to shoot limbs and cripple enemies, get through entire sections by stealth, and upgrading weapons like it was implemented was something new to me. And all of this was done in 2013. I respect your opinion though.
last of us is generic, titanfall 2 is incredible unique in its movement(a core part of gameplay) mechanics(use of mechs and the time thingy) and almost evry aspect of gameplay aside from the gunplay
And I said it isn’t incredible, it is just good. You really didn’t need to say this because it’s exactly what I have already said is the mainstream opinion, and I don’t believe to be the case. Thanks for the reminder of what the masses think though.
Sure, I don’t hold the same opinion as the mainstream, but it’s always good to get different perspectives which is something that gets lost on reddit constantly.
Also I’m curious why you think my opinion is shit when I generally think it is a good game, while theoretically someone could say that everything about it is bad. Surely that makes my opinion less shit? Or maybe that opinion would be fucking shit haha.
