    I’m gonna play this game soon, but I wouldn’t have even considered it - let alone buy it - before watching the first part of this video by tomatoanus, explaining the any% speedrun. I stopped watching before one mission that he claims is one of the best chapters of a video game he’s ever played (and the chapter itself apparently has a Wikipedia page??). I’m pretty excited to play it based on that preamble 😁

    ETA: It was on sale for $3 so that definitely helped

    multilayer is alive at the moment, and you’ll find a game pretty quickly. it’s a lot of fun, but there’s definitely a learning curve

      To anyone that sees this and wants to play but is scared there is a PvE coop mode.

      It’s oft left out of TF2 discussion but it’s one of the best horde modes in gaming and you get to experience TF2 mp without the sweaty downsides.

      Wait, is it? Like, vanilla, not Northstar? I stopped playing months ago because I’d leave it running looking for a match in the background with my speakers turned up so I could go do chores and watch TV and then run back if I heard the “joining game noise”, occasionally checking to see if matchmaking kicked me out to the menu. It was just too much hassle to get into a game.

      Is all that fixed now? Can I come back? Please god, can I play TF|2 again?

      That’s good to know . I remember hearing awhile ago that there was issues with hackers maybe I’ll give it a try.

    With better world-building for the game setting, and more effort at writing memorable human characters, this could have been a major IP franchise. Pity.

    Started the campaign and it just didn’t do a lot for me. I have seen more and more people talking about it though, maybe I’ll give it another shot.

      I really enjoyed it , so if the platforming was a little tricky but other than that was really fun . Also found it a little short.

      It takes a little time to start introducing you to the unique parts, it feels a little afraid to alienate traditional shooter fans but once it gets rolling nothing is quite like it.

      The real gamelan takes off later on. I almost quit too but I wanted at least try the mech… then some really fun mechanics kicked in later.

    The “fastball special” moments are probably my favorite scenes in games (also that one certain part where you get a cool gimmick for a whole mission is really top tier)

    My vote was for Horizon, but since I hadn’t played the other games, I just added Titanfall 2 to my wishlist. Next time it’s on sale I’m gonna play it too. :)

      These days you can easily find it for around $5 on sale, and it’s a solid 5-10 hours of entertainment. Well worth it at that price.

    Pretty much my only fps game, and has been for the last 7 years. Other fps games may have had my interest for a few months, but I just keep coming back to Titanfall. The gameplay mechanics are by far my favorite.
