Title: Titanfall or "Not without Origin"
Post by: Molly on February 05, 2014, 12:39:44 pm
Titanfall will use Origin and Origin only.

Ignore the German text and just look at the Twitter thing they have there. (http://www.4players.de/4players.php/spielinfonews/Allgemein/34711/2138416/TitanfallPC-Version_erfordert_Origin.html)

Of course it's going to be on Origin if EA is the publisher?
Title: Re: Titanfall or "Not without Origin"
Post by: Ninja_Khorin on February 05, 2014, 01:17:29 pm
To be honest, EA as a publisher is enough for me to not buy the game. Origin is just overkill.

Last time I made the mistake of buying an EA game was Mass Effect 3, which was alright, but still a disappointment. I'm better off just ignoring them.

Just avoid EA, there are better similar games out there for MUCH cheaper prices that don't force you to suck a dick (aka Origin/DLCs/theUsualEAstuff) every time you want to play the game.

Like what? I haven't seen anything like Titanfall unless you mean there are shooters and some games have mechs and other games have jumpjets. Games are about implementation, not the individual parts. Otherwise Planetside 2 would be worth playing.

This.

I don't see why Titanfall should be better than any other online shooter. Seems as generic pewpew to me like the rest. Just cuz there are mechs? Where is the difference to getting into a tank in Battlefield?

Only reason I started this thread is cuz there was none when I searched and cuz I know Prpavi is/was looking very much forward to Titanfall. Personally, I wasn't interested in it anyway.

In terms of sales and popularity. Titanfall, Battlefield, ARMA none of those games stands a chance. It's too mainstream at this point. Hadn't BF been stale and let down their guard after COD 4 then maybe.

Well, Origin seals the deal. Not gonna be a good competitive FPS anyway, it's made for casuals, by casuals. "Let's add NPCs into maps so that everyone can feel good by getting some kills." Super gay; I want to fight players in multiplayer, not some cannon fodder NPCs and the occasional player.

yeah was looking forward to it, I sold my Origin acc to a friend after BF4 lel, don't think I'm gonna make the same mistake again... it was supposed to be my bday present, think I'll get South Park instead  :mrgreen:

oh well, Blacklight:Retribution is a nice free futuristic shooter, I'll just install that when I get the urge to play with mecs, thb doubt Titanfall will be that much better.

EA as publisher an origin wouldn't stop me playing an actually good game.

titanfall is a reskin of call of duty with max 12 players, I watched a video of a entire round - it lasted about 2 minutes. how the hell do console players stand spending more time in the lobby match making then actually playing the fucking game.

maybe if its modable the PC version could become interesting, but I sincerely doubt it.

Title: Re: Titanfall or "Not without Origin"
Post by: Jacko on February 16, 2014, 10:59:10 am
Played for a  couple of hours, unlocked most of the general stuff. First impression was "I wish the round were longer, the gunplay better and maps larger". It grew on me a couple of hours in and it's a decent game. Movement and weapons are more unreal than CS. Gunplay is lackluster but good. The rounds are sometimes ridiculously short and there is very little room for lurking about planning, it all comes down to the run and gunning. Which is a shame, because bringing the tempo down every now and then is for me more interesting than just spamming the respawn button (assuming you die, that is).  The battle quickly turns into Titanwars, which is a whole lot less interesting than regular pilot shootouts. I do enjoy the cat and mouse play of Titan versus Pilot, but for anyone used to playing battlefield the lack of destruction makes it a bit silly.

The game looks good, though the texture quality on "high" is on warband levels. Cranking it up on Insane makes my graphic cards cry, but it does make the game look like a modern title and not something made 5 year ago. I have some FPS issues and screen tearing (can't use V-Sync at the moment, glitches out), though for the most game the game has a solid FPS.

I keep thinking this is what I want to see in the next battlefield game, with larger maps, more people and destructible buildings and terrain. The game feels at times almost dated, a dinosaur from the past console generation.

But, despite all that, it's pretty good. The bots are an interesting touch, and it's pretty damn fun wall-running through enemies shugging grenades. Try it if you can, I had fun.

The auto aim weapon is nearly impossible to actually auto-aim on players, it only does it on the bots, which are in fact not important as hell in the game.

To be honest the auto-aim pistol doesn't seem that powerful Especially as someone with an AR or sniper can easily take you out before you get close.  It'll be best used for farming the AI guys because they seem as dumb as shit.
Title: Re: Titanfall or "Not without Origin"
Post by: Crazyi on February 18, 2014, 07:52:20 pm
 If you think the game has a low skill cap you clearly did not play much.  I mean that doesn't even make sense. Not only is it fast pace, you have fucking jet packs and wall running abilities so you have to be better at aiming then most other shooters. Explain low skill cap to me? 

Auto aim pistol takes about 3 seconds to lock and and kill, and if you can't kill some one within 3 seconds of seeing them you are bad at FPS games. Shotgun = 1 shot kill. Assault Rifle = 1 good burst. Sniper rifle = 2 shots. If you are in close quarters at all, you CANNOT kill with the smart pistol by locking on because wall running + double jump in a small area is impossible to keep the target on them that long. While the weapon is strong is certainly has its limits and is no where close to overpowered. The stealth ability makes the pistol take 5+ seconds to lock, and the if they can even get a lock on you while using the spirit ability you just don't understand movement. The smart pistol is worthless in Capture the Point and Last Titan Standing.

Bots are cannon fodder and are only relevant in Attrition game mode. Shooting them reveals your position on the mini map for a brief second, and that is their main purpose in the game. There would be entirely too many sneaky kills without them out there.

I have played probably 10 or so hours now, this game is great. Titans are fun additions to the game, nothing close to OP. Aside from you liking arena shooters only, I don't know how you don't enjoy this game.

The AI guys are just one shot kills, with the auto-aim pistol you can just one shot them all at the same time, I think that's the main reason to pick it.

For the rest if you're a decent shoot yourself you'll have a kill ways before the auto-aim even works on players.

Played loads of Titanfall during the few days beta test, great game, loads of little innovative changes that really makes it feel a very refreshing FPS versus stagnant series such as Battlefield and Call of Duty.

Having the option of double jumping on walls to climb tall obstacles, being able to run on a wall instead of just the floor, being able to basically do a jet-pack version of bunny jumping between walls for increased speed and travel time. One word; amazing!
People don't know what hit them when you've learnt to control your jet-pack-parkour. You can truly apply a ton of skill to this game -- as infantry -- much more than COD and BF4 put together
 Not that the game is all that though, don't get me wrong, it is just a very good and refreshing arcade FPS, but I would highly recommended to pick this up over BF4 or COD.

I would however never in a million years pay the 67€ they want in the Origin store (localized), but if there's some 20/25€ cd keys available on some web store later on then I'll definitely be picking up this game and have it as my main arcade FPS.

Ive played it both on the PC (xbox usb controller -> pc) and I enjoyed it thoroughly. I can't be bothered giving a detailed report, as someone else can no doubt do it better. What I can say is is that both M+KB and XBox controller worked fine, for me. Although the mouse is - obviously- superior when it omes to accuracy and blablabla.

I played on PC but I do have a 360 controller I tried out. I do not use it for shooters though, mouse is too good. One thing that is really cool this game can seamlessly switch between controller and mouse/keyboard in play while also changing what the hotkeys are on screen.

Can hardly compare Titanfall to those though, which is an easy and accessible game, UT and Tribes, those games had a much higher skill requirement.

Versus BF4 and COD, this is what to pick, unless you're solely into modern day arcade shooters.

Title: Re: Titanfall or "Not without Origin"
Post by: Nessaj on March 11, 2014, 06:13:05 pm
I'm definitely going to buy it, just not in the Origin store.

Not that I mind Origin, sure it might not be the best piece of software, but it works fine, and if each Publisher or even Developer wants a client to help them push products, that's theirs really, plus trying to collect all your consumers into a sort of community is never a bad idea.

However, the price on Origin is just outrageous, they wan't ~€55, for the standard version mind you. Sorry, but Titanfall is absolutely not worth that price, under any circumstances :P

Title: Re: Titanfall or "Not without Origin"
Post by: Tanken on March 11, 2014, 10:54:30 pm
Honestly, I bought it on a whim last night through Origin. My last experience with Origin was Battlefield 3, which fucking sucked horribly.

But, they've made a lot of changes to it, and honestly it has no impact on the game whatsoever whereas in battlefield 3 you had to use the shit thing to find servers and leave the game entirely to find another server. This game does not have that. If anything, Origin just feels like a Steam overlay, and nothing else for this game.

I can understand the previous complaints about Origin, but it's not that bad now. EA has been known to make some shittastic games, but I can tell you, after playing this for literally the past 8 hours straight (my eyes are bleeding) this by far is one of the most fun, and enjoyable games I've played. The level of intensity you get from fighting not only other pilots, but tons of AI in the mix, is ridiculous. There's not a whole lot of character customization or class customization, which I like. There aren't stupid ass perks like COD though there are these things called Burn Cards which give you either a Good Weapon, XP Buff, or some other non-gamebreaking buff ONLY for the duration of your Life that Round. So, if you use a Burn Card, you only get its effects until you die.

As far as combat goes--I was extremely surprised to see how smooth everything was. Considering there is so much happening around you at all times, there's hardly a dull moment or a time in which you aren't scanning the room or area you're in looking to kill something. The Titans are not OP, but they are very useful for zone control until the other team comes rolling up on you with 3 Titans.

As far as leveling goes--Not a gamebreaker. You level fairly quickly. And the higher levels don't really have much overhead on you as you might expect them to whereas in COD or other games, a lvl 1 coming into a match with 11 lvl 30s, obviously the lvl 1 was going to get their shit pushed in. Not the case here. The only difference right now is experience and how well you know what to do in each situation.


Overall, I hope that my first-person account can help persuade people to enjoy the game and play. If you're holding off on buying because it's Origin, or $60, or whatever. Suck it up, pussy. It is without a doubt the best game EA has came out with in a while. The hype was well worth the experience, and they didn't have a poor launch like some of the other games that fanboys get all worked up about (Looking at you, Diablow 3 lovers).

If you're contemplating getting it--get it.

Two things, after playing it for about 12 hours or so, in terms of the actual game play, literally the most intense, liberating, exciting, and creative gaming experience since perhaps the old tribes, or unreal, you know, back when games were good.   Other than that, yea, most of the internet hates EA, there are a lot of threads consisting of what most of this one is, but you know what, fucking EA and Microsoft came foward and funded these Respawn when they were a start up.  FUCK! I wish valve did it, BUT THEY DIDN'T.  Get this game in spite of EA because the guys that created it made something special that, once you get the hang of, you'll probably love.  Beyond that I agree with the reviews I posted.

Where's the logic in throwing away money for no purpose? You can buy a cd-key for $44 and use it on Origin.

Worth is subjective, Titanfall is great, but not $60 great, and supporting this Activision/EA culture of $60+ games is bad for gaming in general..

I use Steam/Origin/UbiShop merely to browse games in the shops or start them through those cuz I have to.
Whenever I see a game that interests me, I check my 2 key selling shops for their prices. It's pretty rare that I actually buy a game on Steam (except for sales obviously) or any other of those publisher-shops.

Most of the time I save easy 30-50% on the prices Steam and the likes have...

On Origin you should never buy, Steam buy when there's sales, otherwise just use key resellers, almost always better prices.

Tempted to buy it on cdkeys. What do you guys playing it make of it? I'm not sure how many hours I'd be able to sink into it to justify it. But I've always had a weakness for this kind of game.

Reviews are so mixed it's hard for me to make up my mind.
Title: Re: Titanfall or "Not without Origin"
Post by: Casimir on March 12, 2014, 08:38:57 pm
At a reduced price its definitely worth it. Great game, nice visuals, runs smooth as hell. Gun play is incredibly easy to get to grips with (being made by the CoD guys) but is sufficiently rewarding. Wall running, jet jumping and the vertical nature of the game play makes for some really great moments. Titan gameplay is absolutely solid, you really feel the weight of the mechs as you move around compared to the blistering agility and speed of the pilots.  Cracking game, really fun and a nice break from the FPS games that are available on the market at the moment.  My only complaint is that the Origin price is way to high for the amount of content in the product, but if you enjoy balls to the walls gun fighting then its worth getting yourself a discounted key.

I expect there are going to be map packs and DLC galore so its worth getting in now before the player base gets divided by that shit.

I wasn't aware people were such tightwads about $16 lol. But I guess to each their own. I personally don't mind buying directly through Origin or Steam. If I enjoy their service and dedication in providing this item, they should be rewarded. But that's most likely because I'm a developer (of sorts) myself and I can see their standpoint as well.


Either way, $44, $60, or $80. The game is worth every penny. It's extremely fun and will be one of the best game purchases you've made in a while. Hell, if half of you threw money at chadz and the Dev Team for a promise--at least buy into a game that already exists and is proving to counter all the misconceptions and criticism it gathered.

Yeah but should people who can't afford to throw away $60 on a game be excluded from owning it? It's a video game, if you can buy it cheap it makes sense to do so.  Considering how much DLC and map packs that EA are likely to make them produce for this, why wouldn't you want to get the base game as cheap as possible?

There is no point in paying full price for a title like this. It's a fine game, I just don't believe it's worth what they're currently asking (having played the beta for over 10h I know what I'm getting). Especially since we know they'll tack on some godawful monetizing scheme. Support the developers by all means, but do we want to support the Publishers? I certainly don't.

If you're contemplating getting it-- wait for price drop or look somewhere other than steam/origin.

Glad to see a shooter is coming up with somewhat of an inventive formula.

It looked like a fun game, almost got myself excited, too bad I can't seem to enjoy shooters for more than 5 hours anymore.

What's you guys thoughts on the Multiplayer campaign anyway? The drop-in (starting) sequences are pretty cool, but overall though it doesn't feel very engaging as a mode, just like regular multiplayer with a bunch of additional chatter.

Game is still good though, just

No, the main gimmick is the pilot's mobility which is simply brilliant and why I am playing the shit out of this game.  Mechs, which are a lesser gimmick (marketing excluded)  are more a strategic tools focused around support especially in hard point and CTF and imo are far less interesting then playing as a pilot.

What a stupid name though, Pilot? And the infantry gameplay just looks like COD ripoff but futuristic setting with 'Infamous'' wall running ripoff. And 12vs12 players is the maximum amount (who cares about instant respawn). Lol....another one to challenge COD and Battlefield but fails.

Once again. Guys who called this a COD killer and BF killer were the biggest fanboys ever. This is if lucky at the same level of Medal Of Honor Warfighter or something along those lines.

It'll never join or pass the Halo, Battlefield and COD league. And i like EA unlike these hipster haters. But it's a mainstream EA game that tries to be innovative but gets a gimmick with titans which isn't neccesarily a mainstream draw.

do you know what a gimmick is?

trick or device intended to attract attention, publicity, or business. Titans are in the game.... they are not a marketing device or trick.

This is the most exciting shooter since CS was in beta. Movement is superior to any shooter out. Guns have an intended purpose and are not saturated with meaningless choices. Titans are very well balanced and implemented. Yes they can be killed by a player on foot but they have many defensive choices which prevent this and teamwork makes them immune to pilots on the back. You clearly have not played with a team in this game or they simply cannot grasp what to do.

The fact you even say "COD ripoff" disturbs me.

Wikipedia/Googling gimmick doesn't make it mean that's the only meaning of it.

And i can't see why it's an exciting shooter. Overplayed futuristic setting - Check. Gimmick Titans = Check. Tries to go the hyper route of Quake/Tribes with including faster paced action but fails horribly.

I mean i can understand if you're the kind of people who liked Gundam, Hawken or those crap games but still. And 6v6 is horrible. Even with instant respawns.


In any case that formula is not a COD-killer formula and the fanboys who said at E3 and earlier that Titanfall were going to dethrone COD/Battlefield were just high/biased.

To be honest, it better not be a COD/BF killer, for multiple reasons. Too many similarities with the above would make a game just as bad as the modern COD/BF are. If the fanboys say this and think it's a plus, they are just as dumb as those that shout WoW killer every time a bad MMO is released. Furthermore I don't think anybody would want the COD/BF demographic anywhere near good games. Let their parents be milked by the suits over at EA and Vivendi and leave it at that.

Quote
Titanfall uses FairFight to detect cheaters on PC. Since the launch of Titanfall, we've been collecting data on people who are cheating on PC but not immediately enforcing bans. As of Friday, March 21st, that has changed and we have started banning cheaters in Titanfall.

We will be continuing to tweak the algorithm over time to catch more cheaters.

FAQ:

Q.) So what happens if I get banned?
A.) Great news: you get to keep playing Titanfall! Less-great news: you only get to play with other cheaters. You can play with other banned players in something that will resemble the Wimbledon of aimbot contests. Hopefully the aimbot cheat you paid for really is the best, or these all-cheater matches could be frustrating for you. Good luck.

Q.) If I’m banned, what happens if I make a party with my non-cheater friends?
A.) When anyone in your party is banned, then everyone in your party will be treated as banned for that play session. If you are a non-cheater and you invite a cheater friend into a party, you will be stuck playing against cheaters. If you stop inviting your cheater friend, you will once again get to play with the non-cheater population. You do not get permanently tainted just by playing with a cheater - you are only banned for cheating if you are actually cheating.

Titafall is in jeopardy. When it was released it was pretty unique. Right now there are somewhat similar games in development. Most are Moba types but have chars that play the same as marines with jetpack from Titanfall. Call of Duty Black Ops3, Overgrowth, Gigantic, Battleborn and now LawBreakers. Would leave UT out this pack because it this too cool for this bunch of crap that will be thrown at us in upcoming months/years.

Too many games with similar gameplay and Titanfall seems least cool.
