Titanfall 50 combatants on maps, aka RESPAWN are CLUELESS!

@SEANMCAD: missing out on what? When did I say I only will play Titanfall? Or that I don't play indies?

@SEANMCAD: Nobody is saying large marketing cant affect those things. But again, it comes down to knowing what you like based on the only truth, experience. On that, I like what I SEE from Titanfall and will play it. I will play other games as well, and some will be indies. Seems like you are going to the cynical extreme and writing off any chance a mainstream, big release can be enjoyable. Have fun, guy. Its not a crusade to save the human race, its fvckin video games.

You will notice in my post I did not deny that money may impact the success of a game. Marketing budget can certainly go a long way in enhancing public perception of a game. Its also entirely possible that reviewers could have been paid to give the game positive feedback. However its equally delusional to believe that the entirety of the positive feedback regarding Titanfall is only in existence because it has been bought and falsified. The same argument could be made for any well received work of art in the public domain. Any play, any movie, any book....you name it.

Its a very negative perception to penalise a big budget game purely because of it apparent pre release success. It could just be damn good.

Well, we'll have to wait and see if it really works out well

Yes, its obvious you don't know. The gameplay feedback and perception of Ryse was exactly as it got reviewed, poor to mediocre. You are on the "it must be bought hype" band wagon, which is as always_explicit said just as delusional. In the end it is a prejudiced out look.

@SEANMCAD: Yes. Multiple gifs, and read the hype thread. Nobody of the passionate gaming, community thought Ryse's gameplay looked very good. It was echoed in this very forum since E3.

They seem to contradict themselves. Must've included bots for tech reasons.

@SEANMCAD: Of course you do. Your mind is concluded.

Ok, I thought it was 12 bots plus six Humans per team? regardless I would agree the numbers are lower but I'm suggesting that the goal may be to offer multiple options for players so people can lone wolf it if they want and those who want to utilise some strategy may be able to interact with the bots in such a manner as to give themselves the advantage, I really don't know I haven't played it but I'm willing to give it a shot when it comes out, and I like many people will try it on 360 or PC, its not a question of being available on XB1 (which I dont intend to purchase) it's a question of not writing off a game I haven't even played.

Titanfall hype bro.

It's a pretty sweet idea. You have your multiplayer 6 vs 6 and then a.i. filling out the map(kind of like a single player feature). It'll make for an intense gaming experience and competitve. The enemy a.i. will make it even more enjoyable. For instance, back in the day The NES had a killer 1 vs 1 game with lots of enemy a.i. in it and the matches were a lot of fun ( Rampage). Was intense facing of against a friend and then worrying about a tank shooting and snipers shooting out the window. Finally, lets just wait and see what the game plays like.
