Whats the obsession with Titanfall hate? |
Real gamers are tired of fad photorealistic military arcade epeen vs mode online only bro shooters in general on all platforms. Microsoft and XBox pretty much cater to that casual audience exclusively so they are prime hate targets for gamers tired of seeing their beloved non shooter franchises being hijacked by mainstream shooter elements to try and skim that audience's wallets.
Most saw it for what it is, just another Call of Duty with jetpacks and robots, yet it was hyped and shoved in our faces everywhere we go online and real world as the next coming of Christ.
I for one am glad it did not deliver to their expectations. I'm sure the "investors" who funded it felt they were entitled to 10 million launch sales or something absurd.
The online versus competition epeen military shooter fad needs to hopefully die this generation and make way for coop and single player adventures again. A lot of us played arena shooters in the Quake 3 and UT days and well it's getting old. A lot of us moved from PC to console this last generation to go back to playing video games and not military simulators when that's all that infected PC, and now it's completely infected last console gen too. Titanfall is just the latest posterchild for the tired cookie cutter over zealous record profit predicting shooter formula to be forced down our throats.
The Activision style "you should like this because we said so and all the cool kids will be playing it" marketing is also offensive.

Who are you to say who's real gamer or not? What's a real game?
I stopped at your first sentence.

Someone who would NOT have touched a SNES or GameCube back in the day because its a kiddy toy or nerdy (if they were around then) but who NOW only jumps on Xbox now that video games are socially acceptable and only buys "cool manly" games like CoD and Madden are not gamers.
