I have recently written a couple of posts complaining about Titanfall's defects and about GS giving it a higher grade than BF4. While I still stay by my previous statements, I also think that every gamer interested in shooters should give Titanfall a try. The main reason is that the core game is very fun. The tempo of the battles and the pilot/titan mix makes me come back for more on a regular basis. I still am more fond of BF4 in terms of depth, variety and customization, but I must admitt that Titanfall is growing on me. With a few changes (hopefully not only through DLC) it could become a classic.

Many of you will probably object that Titanfall is expensive. I beg to disagree. I have so far put 26 hours in Titanfall, which translates to 2 dollars an hour (and I am continuing playing). I am much more angry about the money I paid for games that I played for five hours or less before I discovered that they were not my cup of tea. If you like shooters buy Titanfall. It will, perhaps, not be your favourite game but I am quite sure that you will like it.

It just occurred to me that Gamespot awarded a 9 to Titanfall and an 8 to BF4. Are you high?? BF4 has a nice campaign, many different vehicles, tons of weapons, many different environments, destructible maps, gigantic maps and 64 players. Titanfall has...well..big robots. I don't get it.

Too much like BF4?? Do you mean that there is a ton of weapons, skins, medals, ribbons, vehicles and different environments in Titanfall? I must have missed that completely.

I think Origin works quite well these days. I have absolutely no problems with it at all.

@BiggChonies882:

Well, personally I could not care less about a story. The best mp games I played in my life did not have a story. I disagree with you about the titans. Once you have learned how to use them they are formidable. When it comes to quality I partially agree. My computer has an easier time with BF4 than with Titanfall, which is unacceptable considering the better visuals in BF4. My maine concern is the lack of variation and costumization.

@armedmonkey: Well, consider that Titanfall does offer an original perspective on the fps genre. It is fun. I am just sad because it could easily have been so much more. I hope Respawn comes to its senses and issues a massive patch. Blizzard did it recently with Diablo 3, which now is in my opinion the game we hoped for after a disappointing release two years ago.

I think Titanfall is fun. I like spending an hour now and then hunting Titans and killing pilots. However, the game is not the epic revolution everyone hoped for. Here are a few features the game should have in order to stand the test of time:

1) Much better costumization. The weapons are too few and not very inspiring. I would like something in style with BF4 or at least CoD. I would have loved to costumize my Titans' colours and emblems. It would be cool to be able to recognize a foe by his insigna. Today we are limited to three chassis. Way too little.

2) The maps should be a little more interesting. Today's maps feel repetitive.

3) The matches should last much longer. It should be practically possible for a team laging behind to recover. At the moment the matches are intensive but not epic.

4) I don't have a problem with the missing single player. I DO have a problem with a campaign which is so poor that it is tantamount to an insult to the players. It would have been better to not have a campaign at all in order to focus on customization and better maps.

5) A private lobby. Come on! The game is lacking features that are industry standards since many years.

Conclusion: Titanfall is a good (but overpriced) casual game. Something radical has to happen, however, if Respawn wants it to be a classic. They should put much effort in a massive (and free) patch.
