The biggest gripe I saw in this newcomer's take on Dark Souls 2 was the dissatisfaction with leveling. The thing with the Soul's games is that you level up as a player, in real life, as opposed to your character leveling up. What I mean is that as you get better at the game, you realize that you don't need armor at all, and there really is no "best" gear. Reading this review was like watching my brothers and friends try the game for the first time. Unlike the Titanfall fan base, I can see why people would hate this game. BTW, Titanfall is garbage.
@Gravity_Slave So because I don't like this terrible game you resort to name calling? You can't read. I said I dominated the game with almost no effort. The points I was making was that the game is not a true "next gen" offering and not at all worthy of either the marketing campaign or the 9 it was reviewed at. I don't care what it is called, you understand what I was saying. And I understand you are a fool that needs easy games to validate yourself. If you like this game, you are a twit. It is what is wrong with the video game industry, and you are what is wrong with gamers. You are a true idiot, no where in my replies did I say I was bad at the game. There is more substance than you all thinking I am a PS4 fanboy, or that I am bad at this horrible garbage.
@lithus No, my friend, I am sadly a true Xbox fan, and I bought Titanfall: a mistake I hope to educate others on. Yesterday was a great example why this game sucks so bad; I had about 3 hours and wanted to give Titanfall another go, since I wasted my money already. I wanted to play Capture the Nodes, but after 6 failed attempts at finding enough people for a team I gave up. LoL is all multiplayer, but I have the option to play on my own. I don't complain about single player only games because I am playing on a console and should have the option to play offline. Additionally, I should have the option to play on the couch with my friends. Titanfall is a lazily programmed cash grab. It is fun for what it is, I'll give it that, but Titanfall is a truly skimpy offering. Titanfall is not CoD with mechs, it is Brink with mechs. The developers didn't think too much of any of us when they released this trash. It sets a very negative precedence for the next gen. And to use your logic against you, if you liked this game you are mentally retarded or have never played any other game.
Yes, a 6 is about right for ESO. Mr. Van Ord is a stronger man than I am, as I couldn't get past the 20 hour mark before being certain that ESO had nothing to offer me. The fact that the Imperial race isn't available to everyone who paid for the game should bring the score to a 5, but the gameplay is a solid 6. Crafting is boring, gathering is even more tedious, and when there are too many people taking your resources it is just annoying.
Titanfall is a 7 at best. This is not a true next gen offering, evidenced by the fact that it is quite similar on current gen. The total game is but one mode of comparatively priced games. This is essentially paying $60 for the multiplayer mode of any other FPS on the market. It plays like Brink, looks like CoD, and is as fun as arguing with a adolescent male (i.e. easy to get into and interesting at first, but quickly becomes boring and easy to dominate with little skill). This is a lazy first attempt that shows promise, so no way should it get a 9. No single player campaign drops it by a good 2 points at least. It is fun for what it is, but giving it a 9 shows unacceptable bias and a possible bribe.
