It's ok if it's not your thing but don't act like the game was free of unnecessary criticism.

I guess I missed it.  It got an 86 on metacritic.  What criticism are you talking about?


It got an 86 and it deserved it. The criticism wasn't deserved though. You can use the search and look for titanfall threads if you want. I'm not digging on those old threads. Eventhough the port beg was intense the game was laughed at for it's resolution, for being only 6vs6, because it uses the cloud for AI, because the graphics weren't on par with games like Killzone, because it had framerate dips and so on. I understand it released when X1 was ridiculed like no other, but still the game is good. Hope TF2 improves from the first game and if it comes to PS then it's a good thing. I just can't digest the constant hate it suffered from.


Team Fortess 2 is already out! (TF2)

But in all seriousness those are all legitimate gripes.  Instead of properly having 16-32 players they had the most annoying AI on Earth (Grunts) and yet the maps always felt empty as hell.  Oh and yeah, its graphics were absolute crap compared not just to killzone, but even COD.  It had subpar graphics and yet couldn't run in 1080p.  86 is a great meta, and just because you think it is the second coming of christ doesn't mean the criticism wasn't deserved.  If you market your game as the next revolution in online MP you better not be exagerating because the internet is harsh.

You know my favorite online shooter is Battlefield 4.  Right now it has an 85 on Metacritic and it gets a TON of hate.  At least on PC, it has worked since the first week it came out, but the hate it gets isn't completily unjustified.  Games should ALWAYS work well when they come out, its campaign sucked, and in many ways it is just a massive upgrade of BF3 moreso than a total overhaul of the series (Like the number 4 would suggest).  But I am not gonna have a huge chip on my shoulder just because a lot of people give it critiscm that while exagerated, is deserved.  The only difference is millions still play BF4 whereas Titanfall's numbers fell through almost overnight.
