best campaign. it's an absolute tragedy that it wasn't longer and hasn't got a sequel yet

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

Anyone who has played the game knows what level you're talking about, and I find myself launching Titanfall 2 every now and then just to play it.

’Cause it has a certain effect on people that play it.

[–] Damage@slrpnk.net 1 points 2 years ago

I'm guessing time travel?

[–] Psythik@lemm.ee -5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

How can you speedrun a multiplayer-only game?

[–] ProfessorProteus@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The first game is multiplayer-only. I had also assumed this one was too, but it has a single player story.

[–] Ataraxia@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

Really loved this game. I am glad I stuck with it in the beginning.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 4 points 2 years ago

It has a single player campaign that's how.

[–] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 years ago

"Protocol 3: Protect the pilot."

😭

[–] Lemmyvisitor@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 2 years ago (3 children)

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

[–] CH3DD4R_G0BL1N@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Zoboomafoo@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

That's basically all I played, other players are too good for me

[–] TaintPuncher@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago (4 children)

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 β€œjoining 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?

[–] Alto@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

The game servers themselves sometimes shit the bed, but overall it's a good experience. Matchmaking takes 30-90 seconds usually, although it's pretty much only attrition.

[–] Bbbbbbbbbbb@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Yes, multiplayer is funtional

get back on the frontier pilot

[–] discodoubloon@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

It was kinda broken for a year or so but they apparently updated it recently and made it a lot harder to attack/DDOS.

[–] bighatchester@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] hperrin@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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. :)

[–] bighatchester@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I'm going to attempt to get the platinum and then I might start horizon next week

[–] cyd@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Kbin_space_program@kbin.social 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Without EA intentionally fucking over Respawn as the producer for Titanfall 2 by making it have the worst possible release date, and driving them to bankruptcy, this would have been a major IP.

As it is, we have Apex Legends instead of a Titanfall Series.

[–] FunkyMonk@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

My favorite FPS ever, If you havent checked out Control I recommend that one often to for little something else FPS like Titanfall is.

[–] moshtradamus666@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (3 children)

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.

[–] cyanarchy@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] bighatchester@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] Ataraxia@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] GaimDS@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

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)

[–] caut_R@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Itβ€˜s my current FPS game, it feels so polished and well thought out

[–] Jackcooper@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)
[–] padge@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 years ago

It's excellent

[–] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] vale@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] citrusface@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] bighatchester@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

That is next on my list !
