Titanfall hands-on: Standing on the shoulder of giants. CVG calls it the "Miyamoto FPS"

These Titan moments are brief (think of chaining two stars in Mario Kart) and perhaps fortunately so. The least enjoyable part of Titanfall is hulking these hunks of metal around, slowly approaching distant red dots on the radar. One could argue that more pedestrian moments offer a necessary break from the intense warfare, but perhaps piloting a bipedal tank isn't the best moment for some downtime.

What I just got from reading this is that this game's hook, the giant mechs, are actually the worst part of the game.  Does that strike anyone else as a big problem?

So you're saying the majority of the game is so goddamn awesome, that piloting around huge mechs shooting the shit out of people, catching bullets and shooting it back at other mechs, and shooting out of a mech right before it explodes, launching yourself hundreds of feet into the air, is the worst part of the game? Wow you made me even more hyped, thanks.
