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.

Saying the maps were empty and that it needed to be 16 or 32 players tells me you didn't get much time with the game so you don't know much about it. I never really got into KZ or Battlefield and imo all they got for themselves are the graphics but I favor gameplay. You like these game's gameplay? Great for you I'm not going to criticize them because they're not what I'd like them to be. Not every games has to be the same. Would KZ MP not having this weird resolution trick make it a better game? At least not in my book. Not being the top dog in graphics has never prevented me from enjoying a game so it didn't matter to me for TF and also to a lot of people. It did matter to those who needed to dismiss it though. It's ok, you don't like it no biggie. If people could only come and say, well I played this games and I didn't like it. But no they have to do their best to make sure everyone know how bad every aspect of the game is... imo, that has nothing to do with deserved criticism.
