Forums - Gaming - Will Metacritic be Titanfall's Rise or Fall ?

I'm expecting a meta score of 85-87 or so for Titanfall. I think it'll be a blast to play at the end of the day. However, it doesn't change the fact that the price tag is high for what you're receiving. I believe that will be a detractor.


Why is the price tag high for what youre receiving ? Seriously ppl the game has to do whay it set out to do well, if it does it then tis worth the money, this stupid idea that every game needs singleplayer and multiplayer makes no sense, specialy because 99% of the time only one of the 2 realy works and the other is an oversight thats there just so ppl wont complain.

$60 frontal purchase + around a $15-20 purchase for access to online multiplayer if you're on consoles. That's expensive.

At the end of the day Titanfall is going to be a limited experience. It only has so many maps, so many guns, so many titans. The experience provided falls under a narrow scope due to the online only experience. Now i'm not stating that is a bad thing, but it does negatively impact the game in a manner.

Im not defending Tintanfall itself as I dont even play FPS games, its just the concept that no singleplayer or no multiplayer means the game is not worth 60$ that gets to me. And ye theres the price for multiplayer on consoles but you cant add that as Titanfalls (or any other multiplayer only game) cost , ppl who dont want to play multiplayer wont buy Titanfall or pay  PS+/ XBOX Gold ever and the ones who like online multiplayer already payed for it or will pay for Tintanfall then get a bunch of other games trough the year and the price gets diluted.

Will not matter. It's not going to be in the 90s, but it's not going to be too low either.



I'm guessing it will score in the 80's.

I am sorry, but I really don't buy this line of thinking.  I am a predominantly single-player gamer.  As such, Titanfall has a limited appeal to me perhaps - but I am not its target market.  With COD/Battlefield these days, it tends to be the single player that is limited, often the campaign is 4-6 hours...nowhere near the price of entry.

Titanfall looks to have an enormous amount of multiplayer content, and doesn't pretend to be anything other than a multiplayer game.  It should rise or fall (see what I did there) on the strength of its multiplayer, and if that multiplayer is well put together, the game is worth the price of admission for multiplayer games.

On topic: Low-80's metacritic, there will be some horrendous click-baiting reviews.



starcraft - Playing Games = FUN, Talking about Games = SERIOUS

High 80's to lo 90's. Just because it has no single player I wouldn't say that would make it impossible to be a 90 game. Once it does what it wants to be well it could happen, I think 90's from a few reviewers will be a guaranteed sight but for the metric, it will be really hard to pull off.

^Yes that's me ripping it up in the GIF. :)

It will hit 85-90. There will be plenty of good reviews but a few terrible ones from the usual suspects.

Titanfall won't be affected at all by Metacritic.
