Forums - Gaming - Why the Obsession with Downplaying TitanFall

Raven on 12 February 2014

I think its funny we're seeing people trying to justify downplaying something because overhyping something is apparently the worst thing ever. Maybe people should start criticizing those Order 1886 and Infamous: Second Son threads I'm constantly seeing.

God forbid anybody criticizes Titanfall. Most of it is just people saying it is not that great or its overrated, much like how people think that 2013 GOTY, the last of us, is super overrated. The difference being that Titanfall has not released yet but with the beta coming this friday, we can finally see if this game will really be the next big thing.

I think many non-shooter gamers will agree that it's not exactly breaking the mold. Also, as somebody mentioned, with the amount of hype this game is getting, there are lots of people trying to downplay it.


It's getting downplayed because it is a exclusive Xbox One game. That simple, the game has not been tried but all reviews say it's great. However I don't doubt a bunch of Sony fans will never play it but yet go get some random article from another pro sony site to prove there point. It will be great.

Except you know, it's not and xbox one exclusive and most pc from the past 4 or 5 years can play this game. Anyone that wants to play and not spend 500 to do so, most likely can.

Sick of this argument too, PC runs windows, also owned by MS.

Because it showed a ton of promise but seems like as new facts have come out,it will be worse than a shooter from 10yrs ago.

And because we can't shoot through a brick wall?  It's purely because it's not on ps4 PERIOD>

I could care less if its on PS4. I'd buy it on PC.

Problem is its 6v6, has so-so graphics, has not shooting realism or destruction.

BF2142 had mechs, future tech and surpassed all of those items above by a lot on hardware that was less powerful than Wii U.

Again, its a game that showed a ton of promise that has had more and more info come out that is meh to sub-meh.

Stop trying to downplay the downplaying people. It's a real problem.



Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(

This sums it up, people need to go to jelly school.

What made you pick 2 Sony games?

Why the obsession with hyping this game as the first person shooter of the year.

evolve deserves much more hype than Titanfall



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m
