Why is keyboard and mouse such a hard thing to figure out for people? I honestly didn't know that was such a problem.

It's not necessarily hard to figure out, but for me, that I'm used to playing FPS games on a controller all my life, it's a pretty big change. I'm absolutely horrible at aiming with a mouse. Even though it's supposed to be better/easier on a mouse, for me it's a lot easier to make small adjustments to my aiming with a analog stick than it is with a mouse. For example, in BF3, there's a sniper in the distance, he hasn't seem me yet, set up my sniper, open tripod, aim... oops a little bit off, just need a little adjustment anndddddd oops just a bit too far left. Let's go back just a teensy bit right.. Oops jumped a little more pixels than I needed to. Rinse and repeat until I'm killed by the sniper. With a mouse, I always seem to jump a few more pixels than what I intend to do. I'm also able to react much much quicker with a controller. Even with aim assists off, I'm able to do much better adjustments and control my aim much better with a control.

Really want to see some crazy D-Day Landing kinda of maps with Titans dropping from the sky and people storming the beach.

Yeah seriously! When that HQ lady was saying that something big is headed your way etc I was thinking sweet maybe it's a ultra Titan or some huge thing but nope...it's the same damn thing. Same damn gameplay moments too. Well I guess you jumped into a chopper in the end, which was new
 
Not terribly exciting for me (I don't care for mechs, and these look literally like giant humans, even the way they carry weapons), but the wall running looks badass.
 
The Good:
-Looked pretty cool graphically/aesthetically.
-Interaction with Titan (ie, follow commands and riding another's mech) looks interesting.
-Elements of single player story/structure have potential.

The Bad:
-Gameplay looks intensely hectic, almost a bit dizzying.
-The number of explosions and other effects on screen made it difficult to tell what was going on, particularly when you were injured.
-Seemed like it was all pretty choreographed, not to mention dying would have changed the flow of that demo drastically. Tough to know how representative that was.

It looks interesting, no denying that, but since it's ultimately a multiplayer only, that's still going to be a sticking point for me. Regardless, I think there's probably a strong game in there if they can get the balance of gameplay vs. insanity-'splosions right. I actually think the E3 demo looked more appealing gameplay-wise given how overblown this level seemed.

I'm being serious, I don't get why kb&m is a problem for some people.

They're not as comfortable with KB&M and are at a major disadvantage compared to people who've been playing shooters with KB&M for decades (in some cases).

It's not that confusing an idea at all. A lot of FPS players have grown up playing them with controllers on consoles and prefer to continue playing them with controllers rather than trying to overcome the skill level of KB&M veterans while learning a new control scheme.

Kb/m is cool for shooters most definitely. Me personally, I get cramps in my hands after long times of gaming on my kb/m though. While for some they can play for hours and hours on their kb/m, I can barely last 2hrs before I have to put it down from my fingers and hands hurting.

With a controller I can play endlessly and the only thing I have to worry about is sweaty palms.

Just saying, this is my only problem. A quick fix would be to get a more comfortable keyboard or mouse, but I have no money for that right now so controllers for me.

All I'm saying is I don't see how this game will make you crumble to buy a 500 dollar box when it is available on to other platforms.

Imagine you don't have a gaming PC and have never used KB/M to play a competitive FPS.

Is it smarter to A) buy/upgrade a PC on par with next-gen consoles and then learn to be proficient with a completely unfamiliar control scheme, which, depending on one's age, could take a significant amount of time, or B) buy an X1?

PCs are great, I'm a big fan, but they aren't the answer to every problem for every person.
 
Generally don't play any FPS games on consoles anymore besides exclusives since I got my PC, so I'll probably get it on that. Saves me cash from buying an XB1 and I get to play it sooner than when/if it ports on PS4. I'm way more excited about running around with jet packs than controlling titans, personally.

Then get it on the 360.
 
I was kind of hoping EA would have pulled a megaton and announced it for PS4 also.

The game looks amazingly fun. Definitely getting it on PC.
 
Really like what they're doing with traversal. Never really been a fan of fps gameplay but those kind of mechanics add another dimension which definitely makes me think I could have a lot of fun with this. Maybe just maybe I will end up getting an xbox one sometime next year

So people with Playstation agendas don't exist now? Really?
Click to expand...

So everyone not liking this has an agenda? Just knock it off on both sides. It's on PC. It's not even an exclusive.

So you really think there aren't people who can only afford a PS4 and are trying to resolve their dissonance by shitting on everything Xbox related? Have you been in, oh, I don't know, any neogaf thread in the past 6 months?

And this has nothing to do with Microsoft's mistakes, which are numerous and well-documented. It's the same console warz bullshit that has existed forever.
Click to expand...

The complaining is as bad as any console warrior bullshit.

It's not your duty to defend the console.
 
Why in these kind of games do they always make the jet packs only work for quick bursts?, it happened in Halo Reach and Killzone 3. I guess its to make it fairer in multiplayer or something?.
 
"Stand by for Titan Fall"

I cannot wait to hear these words come out of my television!

Though, I'll probably die the instant I get in LOL
