And we have our first obscure site to launch a click bait.

"The Globe and Mail (Toronto)

An immensely enjoyable and exquisitely crafted shoot-em-up...Yet Titanfall is also a worrisome product that delivers only a fraction of what competing games – including Call of Duty – do, for the same price tag. That sets a worrying precedent where gamers are set to get less game for the same money. As the next generation of consoles takes root, this is both a commercial and an artistic concern."

Yes the site may be obscure, but that makes their point no less valid, does it?

There's really nothing obscure about The Globe and Mail.

I took his word for it as I had never heard of them, although I should have actually looked them up before accepting his claim of obscurity. Are they quite a large America based outlet then?

I wasn't singling you out, just kinda quoting you both.  Sorry about that.  They're a large national Canadian newspaper.  I guess it's understandable if a good chunk of US-based gamers never heard of it, though.

Dead Rising 3: 10/10

How click bait they are?


Clickbait works both ways.

There are those who gave Rambo the game 7´s...

This score is not a problem, and I expect others 7´s and 8´s. I just think amusing their arguments about "business model" and "a commercial and an artistic concern"


If anything you should be grateful for such criticisms as they are looking out for us, the gamer.



The game seems to excel at pleasing its intended audience. Thought people like me who prefer support roles and more strategic game-play are kind of left out, I have no problem with a game having a tight focus. The score seems justified.

Did EA allowed benchmarck capture cards when they played the games in the closed review event?

Please, post other article that talk about severe performance issues.

EA review event? Reviewers received the copy of the game already... the retail copy... no close review event happened this time lol.

The reviews I read that talk about framerate issues for example:

http://www.gamersglobal.de/test/titanfall

Just read the reviews before try to hate the poster... please.

Wow, why do you invest so much time in a game you will never get the chance to play?

Wow, glad that you read up on a topic to make informed statements about it

Fixed.



Don't get pulled in people... resist it.

No not at all, call me out all you wish as it ensures I don't make a fool of myself in the future! I am from the UK so have never heard of The Globe and Mail, but I will know now who they are and that they aren't an obscure outlet, even if people try to pass them off as one.

well the review lower then 2.1 points lower then the avg and of all there reviews 51%  lower then the avg  plus they complain about ea's servers when the game doesnt even use ea's servers

Other reviews are saying the server are being upgraded so they will delay the score for that issue... seems like there are servers issues right now.


i think some reviewers are waiting till everyone can play to see if the server hold up but i wasnt tyring to say ms servers are uncrashable or anything just that theres no reason to talk about ea's servers when it uses ms's servers



Surprised at only 1 perfect score so far, i thought we would of seen quite a few for this game.



I predicted a 89 so hopefully it goes another up another point.
