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 is just utterly laughable how everybody made World War 2 shooters ten years a go and then pretty much every franchise switched to making generic modern military shooters. 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.

Hell, if half of you threw money at chadz and the Dev Team for a promise
Alternatively you could have looked at it as a very reasonable payment for the thousands of hours of free fun cRPG provided you.

It is just like hollywood. If one earthquake movie is being made, then 2 other studios have to make earthquake movies or vampire movies, or zombie movies, etc.

Sadly.

To get any real innovation through, the industry needs a freaking crash again, just like with cinema when TV challenged it's spot, and the old gaming crash so they actually come up with something new and clever.

I caved in and bought it at http://www.cdkeyhouse.com/ (best service ratings) -- use voucher codes: facebook1 or allkeyshop -- the latter one should work at least and give you a $1 off :P

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

but definitely best arcade game, can't really think of anything just as fun in terms of arcade games. Battlefield as a series is "done" imo, feels like an extended version of COD.

That's why I gave server donations forever ago, and that's why I thought they existed.

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.

$16 is four regular meals, two good meals, or one pretty great meal.

$16 is two new fiction novels.

$16 is 5 comic issues.

$16 is 120 miles worth of gas.

$16 is a bottle of wine.

$16 is the price I'll pay for Titanfall.

No doubt, and it does have arcade elements but I still wouldn't put it along side COD/BF/Titanfall, more like "ArmA light" really.

New Insurgency sucks compared to the original.

And Titanfall looks like a game with having mechs as its main gimmick and the rest just looking like your random FPS game. COD/Battlefield killer my ass...

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.

Next.
