Forgive me if a similar thread may have been created recently, but I wanted to get a few things off my chest. Titanfall is a game that's been making a lot of noise as of late, with multiple E3 awards and all manner of praise from gaming publications. I just don't see the real reason for the unanimous praise and enthusiasm for this title.

Why is everybody so excited about it?

 

[JaggedSac]

Looks incredibly fun from what I've seen.

I did until they decided to screw over a large amount of countries with no local servers.

 

[NeoGeoOwner]

Made for Alphas. GOOD ACTION. GOOD FUN.

Yours,

Franck

 

[Captain Tuttle]

It looks fantastic, you don't like it, fine.

 

[Otakumegane]

Well it's a modern take on an arenashooter with a unique twist. Something new in midst of the Call of duties and the Battlefields.

Spoiler

Honestly I don't see it either but the mechs are interesting

 

[McDougles]

Can't wait to play some good ol' couch co-op with my bud- oh.

 

[theytookourjobz]

Have you seen it?

I know that's reached meme levels but after seeing how fast and frenetic it is, I am super freaking hyped. It feels like a true next gen Call of Duty. It could be this gen's Modern Warfare.

 

[Fracas]

People think it looks interesting.

 

[OdysseusVA]

Why is everybody so excited about it?

People love them some CoD

 

[AlteredForms]

Always trying to keep a player down eh? Not that I'm complaining. I'd take F2P titles over this game any day.

 

[Zalman]

New FPS IP = Much hype.

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

Paging antitrop

 

[Cheeky]

Because it looks like its made of the same stuff that made MW1 so much fun.

 

[Cabal]

It's ok not to be excited about something, but is it that hard to see why a fast paced multiplayer shooter with jet packs and mechs has people interested?

 

[rouken]

I can say the same thing about Destiny.

But both games look fun, as what a video game should be.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Sounds like you have some kind of agenda.

 

[Kuro]

Looks incredibly fun from what I've seen.

It looked fun from the trailers but after seeing the alpha footage it looks like CoD with a slight Hawken twist and random bots affecting competitive multiplayer gameplay so I'm out until it hits a sale on PC.

 

[FreddieQuell]

CoD makes billions for a reason.

 

[Mutombo]

Looks incredibly fun from what I've seen.

.

 

[Grisby]

Mechs. Mechs that can do other things like follow you around as a big ass guard dog.

 

[NeoGAF.]

I'm excited to have a game I want to play on my Xbone.

 

[Ol No Bones]

The I just don't see it thread. Classic.

 

[AlteredForms]

So they basically make a game that is a combination of Brink, Mirror's Edge and Hawken, which suddenly results in everybody getting a hard on? Count me out, Tribes: Ascend looks more fun to play.

 

[Marauder Shields]

Manufactured Hype™

I was pretty pumped for the game till the aforementioned lack of servers in my country.

 

[mjc]

Its incredibly fun based off the alpha. Gonna be huge for multiplayer.

 

[hbkajshdvfbkjhvgkahsgdfka]

Cool and/or okay. We have had this thread, actually and it has come up in EVERY Titanfall thread.

A few questions for you.

Do you enjoy competitive FPS?

Did you like CoD4? Are you aware of Titanfall's development origins?

Have you watching any impressions or videos?

Have you read any impressions from E3?

 

[Bsigg12]

Played in the alpha, the game is just flat out fun. I didn't want to stop playing all weekend.

 

[Sub_Level]

There's a unanimous backlash against the title wherever you go to as well.

Every forum out there is a post along the lines of "what is so good about Titanfall".

It is a game that some people think looks fun, and that is about it. It's getting notoriety because it's one of the first high profile 8th gen games and will be available on three platforms.

 

[Servbot24]

Sometimes I think that people who play FPS games are just in some alternate reality that I'll never understand. You show them a jetpack and a slightly adjusted control scheme and they act as though life as we know it will never be the same. I've learned to just let it go.

 

[theytookourjobz]

All those things made by the guys behind Modern Warfare.

Ok? Thanks for making a thread about it.

 

[Derp2Herp]

Being made by old IW.

 

[AlteredForms]

Sounds like you have some kind of agenda.

I wouldn't say it's an agenda. F2P games have been much fun to play than recent AAA titles. Planetside 2, Blacklight: Retribution, Tribes: Ascend, Dust 514. The long goes on.

 

[Pseudo judo]

I've seen this thread made several times over the last few months. That being said the beta comes out very soon so you can soon discover your own answers to that question.

 

[Coin Return]

The Titanfall Anti-Hype Brigade that has sprouted up recently is as hilarious as it is sad.

The game looks incredibly fun, and that's all there is to it.

 

[iceatcs]

I didn't know there is hype around. Just media hype only got the attention to me.

The game looks fast, maybe the media like that, which they also really like COD.

 

[BBQMan]

Always trying to keep a player down eh? Not that I'm complaining. I'd take F2P titles over this game any day.

Why not. If people cant play the game without lag they shouldnt sell it in the selected countries. Its a multiplayer ONLY game ffs.

 

[VlaudTheImpaler]

BRB going to make an anti-hype thread for every big name game that I don't like because how dare others like something that I don't. Totally

Spoiler

not

serious.

 

[FreddieQuell]

A few questions for you.

Do you enjoy competitive FPS?

Did you like CoD4?

Bit of a contradiction there don'tcha think?

 

[Ahasverus]

It has been artificial hype, I can smell the EA moneyhats from here. But luckily the game looks like fun and genuinely entertaining.

 

[BY2K]

It has mechs and it's made by the guy behind Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.

So yeah, I'm hype as hell.

 

[Gaz_RB]

People think it looks interesting.

 

[Artex]

I play a lot of fps and I'm pretty disinterested. I like more competitive game play and the COD model is too casual. Sorry for using that word.

 

[dmr87]

To me it's just another multiplayer shooter, but I'm looking forward to seeing if the hype is manufactured or not.

 

[mullet2000]

What is it about Titanfall that attracts so many "I don't get it" threads? It's very odd/interesting to me. I've never seen a game hyped up as much as or more than Titanfall get that comment or this many threads to this degree.

 

[daviyoung]

FPS is my favourite genre and I still can't get excited by this.

 

[entremet]

Bit of a contradiction there don'tcha think?

How so?

 

[Ol No Bones]

Every impression I have heard from players is pretty damn positive. It unlikely that all of those are false hype.
