Imagine a toaster that lets you call in toasts like Titans in Titanfall.
Prepare for Toasterfall and then bam you sit on the toast and cover yourself in marmalade.
I'd play that game.

No it's targeting 60fps and I believe hits that most of the time when titans aren't on the field. Not sure about performance overall though but it's certainly targeting 60 not 30
Why is there not more complaining about the framerate on the Xbone? Do people just not notice? It's HORRIBLE. Not stable at all and seems to constantly drop to the 20s and occasionally lower than that. It's not smooth at all...whether titans are there or not.

I will never understand when 86 average became just "fairly good".
86/100 is 14% shy of perfection. That doesn't strike me as "fairly good", that strikes me as "great".
Yep, especially during heavy firefights. Its a little depressing we are already seeing games with fairly significant framerate issues at the very start of this gen. The Source engine isnt exactly cutting edge (the art design looks good, if unspectacular). And when you consider Titanfall is only 6 vs 6 live opponents, it does make you wonder how much headroom is left for the Xbone. Still, despite its flaws, its an incredibly addictive game. Im not sure how much longevity it will hold for me, but Im having a blast with it for now.
Review inflation.
Not to side with Syrus because Titanfall totally deserves whatever-who-gives-a-shit, but the last paragraph of that Game Revolution review is one of the most embarrassing pieces of video games writing I've read in some time and I read Kill Screen every day.
Then price it accordingly.I didn't mean to sound wrong but by their opinion didn't sound like they cared for the game in the first place and that last paragraph was awkward. The game was planned for online without a big story from the get go. Why be mad about no story? Judge the game for what it was intended to be
Maybe everything is just really great?
Seriously though, is the 7-10 scale really so common that 8.6 is a valid "fair"?

Because reviews have been effectively compressed into the 7-10 range for AAA releases
When "crap" like Assassin's Creed 3 has an average of 85 it's because of review inflation.
Titanfall goes one step beyond Call of Duty 4s multiplayer by adding in a secondary layer to combat, one that forces players to constantly change their tactics and remain situationally aware. If you can turn your brain off and enjoy the carnage with like-minded friends, you might have the best experience of 2014 in your hands today. If you want something more from your video games or if you want to be transported to another dimension to learn the true role of an intergalactic soldier, you should probably hit the books. If Titanfall is representative of mans aspirations, were going no where fast.

Then price it accordingly.
it regularly hits what feels like single digits during heavy firefights with multiple mechs onscreen, during ejection animations a fair amount of the time, etc....

I guess no campaign wasn't an issue for PvZ.....or BF4.He (danielrbischoff from GameRevolution) does like the genre because he gave:
Plants Vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 5/5
Battlefield 4 4.5/5
Metro: Last Light 4/5
BioShock Infinite 4.5/5
Next time before you bash someone, at least spend 5 minutes and do some research
Is it? There are plenty of mp only titles that get 1000s of hours online that don't cost as much. So the price is subjective. In my opinion it's not worth 60. But then in my opinion I guess you are ok way with free to play models where you spend hundreds of dollars on virtual clothing and better weapons. Lack of single player campaign is an issue for me. That's why most aaa fps cost as much. Actors/designing set pieces/art direction/actual direction of actors/script writing/etc etc etc. you pay for the work they've done even if it isn't as good (bf3/4 campaign as an example). As an mp only title you're paying for mp maps, mp campaign that I'm hearing isn't spectacular/model design/Titan design/ui etc. things that are common in mp only titles that already cost a fraction of Titan fall.It is priced accordingly.

Lol.. some awesome stuff. Now a game averaging an 86 is an "average" game. And someone said that the only thing the game has is that it's fun when you play.
Ha ha ha...
I wish I could take this review back in time, so I could use it as an example in my debate with SwiftDeath a few pages back, about games being less likely to score highly without being more narrative-driven
SwiftDeath if you're out there. This is kinda what I'm talking about.. just not usually as poorly written.
It is. That's within the range that most games score.
I'm getting really tired of people thinking that "average" should be 50. That's just not how reviewing works. Most games score within the 80s, so mid-80s is average.
Because reviews have been effectively compressed into the 7-10 range for AAA releases....
Has anyone compiled a list to show how bad it's actually become? Would be interesting to read.
The reviews actually make it out to be pretty great for the most part though, so they seem in line with the scores. This doesn't seem like score inflation, it's not like the reviews are making it out to be average and they're awarding 80+.
Bullshit. An 86 is a great score and can be indicative of a great game. Some of GAF's favorite games of all time are in the 80s. Does that mean they must be "average"?It is. That's within the range that most games score.

Lost in space.
When you begin your Titanfall career, you wake up in a messy apartment with an unmade bed, open doors looking out over virtual scenery, and plenty of cabinets for all your hidden anime figurines. Sound familiar? You wouldnt want lady-pilots walking by to see that your secret desire to leave Earth and do battle with giant robots came from Gundam or Bubblegum Crisis, would you? Respawn Entertainment quickly closes the training pod doors and guides you through a virtual environment where you learn how to jump, wall-run, fire your weapon, toss grenades, and pilot the Titans that eventually crowd in-game battlefields.
For all of the titles explosive action, those quiet first moments stick with you if you allow them to. The games opening cutscene explains that mankind discovered a means to explore the stars and sent corporate flotillas out to bring back energy material, but now the Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation and restless militia do battle over those resources. None of this rings in the background of a head-to-head Titan slugfest, which leaves me to ask if you even care which side youre on? For all of mankinds technological and space-faring advances, Titanfall paints a bleak picture of human existence.

Quarter To Three give PC version a 5/5.

Weird Metacritic added it to Xbone reviewers when he clearly says PC version.

Because most people don't care?
Keep in mind, only a small loud minority care about things like resolution and framerate. Everyone else seems to be too busy actually playing video games and having fun.
While your point is true you overstep. If the frame rate of any next gen hovered at 2fps for most of the game, you can damn well bet even the most casual of people would notice
Look at NBA LIVE 14 for instance
But yes so long as the framerate and resolution are in generally acceptable levels most people won't notice
the last paragraph of that Game Revolution review is one of the most embarrassing pieces of video games writing I've read in some time and I read Kill Screen every day.
Yes, I overstepped. Thanks for the correction.
Adam Sessler responded to why Rev3Games didn't do a review-in-progress for Titanfall, compared to other gaming outlets.
"I don't review servers."

Fair points, and I appreciate his approach. Also, responds to other gaming press not respecting of people who gave scores...
I'd imaging some of it is because you aren't the only one who added a post asking the same question?Why is a thread about review scores 50 pages long...
Because there has been 2500 posts.Why is a thread about review scores 50 pages long...
Sure? I still don't know why Super Mario 3D world is ignored in this context and what about Rayman Legends? Pretty sure that's not story driven as you're suggesting it is
I think it's more a case that people are expecting evolution from certain game types rather than just really polished versions of games they've been playing for the better part of 20 years. But we can argue back and forth on any such point I'm sure
As usual is the case, when something sounds absurd in a vacuum it was probably taken out of context. Read it in context here: http://www.gamerevolution.com/review/titanfall
It was a reference to his lead discussing the story of the game:
It was ostensibly Respawn's decision to include a campaign. If the story in it is bad or the implementation of it poor then it's a reviewer's job to mention this. Most of all players seem to have commented on the campaign as a relatively major weakness in the game, yet most reviewers were happy to give it a complete pass.
