Titanfall Reviews
[I]nstead of expending energy on the bells and whistles, Titanfall saves it all for the moment-to-moment thrills, like slamming your titan's eject button at the last second and shooting down an enemy pilot while you rocket hundreds of feet into the air.
And that's maybe Titanfall's biggest, and most forgivable flaw: it looks less interesting and novel than it actually is. It's such a fresh take on the military shooter, splitting the difference between the more deliberate pace of games like Battlefield and Call of Duty and the kinetic excitement of games like Tribes or even Counter-Strike. It just takes a while to see that, because Titanfall's presentation is so conservative.
Titanfall doesn't offer enough game to replace your COD or Battlefield of choice, and you can immediately tell it was made by the same bunch of dudes that created Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. Titanfall is comfort food for FPS gamers. Titanfall is ultimately an evolution rather than the promised revolution and at that price… well, wait for a price drop and you'll get a fun game and not feel had.
Titanfall makes big AAA shooters fun again.
Titanfall is over hyped, but still a great shooter and has features that I expect to be standard in future shooters.
Titanfall is a shot of adrenaline. It constantly presents you with awesome scenarios thanks to its speed, freedom of movement and accessible content. I can't count the times I whooped and hollered in delight. Win or lose, I was having fun. That's not something I can easily say for its competition. But it also feels a little bare bones, missing some content we normally expect from such games. Regardless, if you're looking for your next competitive shooter, Titanfall deserves your attention.
A truly next gen experience provided by Microsoft; this game is your playground and you will want to enjoy every inch of it.
Do you like fast-paced multiplayer shooters? Then I can pretty much guarantee you'll love the hell out of Titanfall.
It isn't the completely revolutionary game changer some thought it would be, but it's certainly a huge shot in the arm for the genre.
I was expecting Titanfall to be the next EA game with major online problems, but all of the server issues I've experienced in Titanfall can be found in any multiplayer focused game.
If Titanfall included private matches and a solid single player story the game would be banging on the door of 10/10 but these glaring misses are too big for a full price retail game.
All things considered, Titanfall is insanely fun. After all the hand-wringing about odd visual resolutions, a 6 on 6 cap, and being little more than "Call of Duty with robots," it turns out that playing Titanfall is an absolute blast.
Titanfall isn't a flawless game, but it's a heck of a lot of fun and quickly turns into an interactive addiction.
Titanfall may not be a revolution, but its combination of hulking war robots and athletic parkour makes for the most thrilling multiplayer shooter in years.
[I]n Titanfall's case, the failure to implement a strong narrative is ultimately inconsequential. Players will tell their own stories simply by jumping and jetting through the vertical environments, experimenting with parkour and, of course, causing destruction in the seat of those towering Titans.
In its current form, then, Titanfall is perhaps more of a step forward for shooters than a giant leap. But that still represents the most positive momentum seen in the genre for at least five years. Quite simply, if you feel like you're in danger of falling out of love with multiplayer shooters, Titanfall is the game to win you back.
Titanfall is definitely a breath of fresh air when it comes to playing online multiplayer and although the story is largely absent in the game, the gaming mechanics really helps in creating a very sturdy gaming experience. Developers Respawn Entertainment should be commended in successfully merging a traditional first person shooter experience with Mechs, especially with the flawless gameplay.
Titanfall is a must buy. Yes, I have admitted I have a thing for giant robots and the game is overflowing with a variety of sexy, lethal robots. While we are not seeing anything truly new or groundbreaking in the multiplayer shooter here, the execution and style more than make up for innovation. The leveling and unlocks that accompany them, the variety of well-designed maps and game modes, the paper-rock-scissors balance of man vs. robot combat and overall polish that is present throughout this online only multiplayer shooter make it great fun to play. Period. Buckle up Pilot. Prepare for Titanfall!
Titanfall is a flawed game that winds up being greater than the sum of its parts. Even counting both sides of the campaign together, it's quite short.
