Saying the game is bad is wrong. Even if you don't like shooters the controls are crisp and responsive and it does what it is supposed to do within the intended genre. On that note... does this gam deserve a 9? lol... no way in hell.
Sure, that is my opinion... however, I "get" the game and all that. I played the demo... I watched videos... bla bla bla...
Here is the thing though... if MS had NOT poured money in advertisement into this game it would have came and gone. It would have been another 7/10 review with the same old shtick about how it delivers in gameplay but the repetitive nature of the game and outplayed features bring nothing new to the table.
The money dropped in advertising is what made this game a "hit" and although I never cared for HALO or CoD either they are blockbuster franchises.... Titanfall is not and will never be. This game will never be taken seriously in professional gaming tournaments like someone suggested. My prediction is that within three months the servers will be dying out. If I am wrong then sure, I will eat some crow... but to say or think this game is on the level of other franchises that caught lightning in a bottle is ridiculous.
This game will fizzle and die because MS tried to hype it as being the next great thing... they even got the industry to follow along for the most part... however, unless MS keep pouring out advertisements and the game has very regular updates for the next couple years this game will stumble and fall. Within a couple months Titanfall will be a distant name that will not be brought up in conversations like CoD, Halo, or BF.
Like I said before... I could be wrong... but I wont be. If by some chance they surprise me and add a mode that is at least 8v8 with players only... then I MIGHT be interested in the game sometime down the road. However, I can also say that I have bought the CoD games, the BF games, the Halo games, etc. but not Titanfall. Too many other games that I already own do the exact same thing in a little different way.
done preaching... now just watch it play out. The man behind the curtain has spoken... crystal ball confirmed... :P
