Wow, millions of dollars spent to allow COD players to jump higher and use a titan that.... oh wait does the same thing as not being in a titan. Enjoy half the game on release day for 60$ then pay another 25 to 30$ for the rest that should have been in the game already. Not impessed by this what so ever.

Half the game? What are you saying?

He's trying to be edgy and hipster and say how much a game he's obviously never played (because if he had he'd know how much different pilot and titan combat were). It's the cool thing to do on the internet in 2014, be a cynical ass about things you know little about.

Yeah. Got into the beta and it does some neat things. I like everything new about it but don't really like the feel of the shooting? Only played a couple matches though, maybe I just hate the default AR/sights.

I just played my first match on the Xbox One. I'm not sure I care about this game. :(

I haven't played it yet, but remain skeptical. The hype for this game is insane...but it looks like any other shooter. It has some more mobility and you can get in a robot (basically just a type of vehicle from my point of view), but otherwise it seems to be just another FPS. That seems to be what many people are into, though. I'll continue waiting for things like The Witness :)

Okay, fuck the naysayers, this game is fun. I've been playing the beta, and it's kind of exhilarating transitioning between soldier and titan so effortlessly.

Also, PC version looks fantastic.

This. Lots of haters, most of which haven't even played it. It's a god damn blast.

I'll definitively give it a go, whenever I get it on PC. However, the game doesn't seem as mind blowing as advertized. It's basically a combination of COD, Quake 3 Arena, and F.E.A.R 2 where the powered Mech comes from.

Still could be lots of fun like all those games were and in some cases still are, but this game isn't the Next-Gen showpiece the hype claimed--at least not by watching this video.

Got in the PC beta, played 2 hours, it's just CoD with mechs and bland grey urban maps like everyone expected.

-The Mechs are made of paper, it's better to just set them in AI follow mode.

-The bots that fill the games are brain dead and take 5 seconds to notice you.

-The graphics and map sizes are mediocre, barely bigger than the standard CSGO map.

-They did an awesome job in taking the well known source engine "feel" and turn it into CoD's generic no recoil, slippery movement.

Got really bored after that, uninstalled. Too bad I can't trade or sell this shitty beta key.

Back to Dark Souls I go.

I'm not a multiplayer kind of person, but this looks fun still. While I don't, and never really have been all too hopeful for the campaign multiplayer, I am still curious as to how it's executed. The first footage of the game at E3 was surely impressive, due to how they implement music and dialogue into a multiplayer surrounding; the animations of it all (especially the Titans) and just how fast paced it was. I still am not all that interested with all that being said though, but I know my brother's interested and will probably buy it.

Kinda weird when I hear Vinnie say he was bummed at how much better the PC version looked. Looking at the comparison shots it isn't any different, really. The only thing I noticed was the AA was better on PC.

Those cards remind me of Metal Gear: Acid. I'm a sucker for collecting cards and all so this might be right up my alley.

Thanks @rorie for bringing up the FOV issue, I hate it when FPS games on PC lock it to a console standard. Some companies go even further than laziness, Infinity Ward will flat out ban you if you use a third party solution for Ghosts' locked FOV!

Yeah, I get why companies don't have sliders, but it's still super annoying. Metro: Last Light is really painful to play on my PC because of the default FOV - it feels like it's set to 50 or something crazy like that. I guess they patched in the ability to tweak it in a CFG file, though; I need to try that.

I'm not one to care or notice much about graphics in general, but I remember the default FOV in Metro 2033 making me physically ill after playing it for a short time.

It doesn't seem sensible for a first person game developer to ignore the issue, especially when the solution is crazy simple.

The mechs seem lame, bored of these console multiplayer FPS and this doesn't seem different enough. I'm sure it'll sell ridiculous amounts though because I guess no one else is bored of FPS.

I am in! Looks like I'm late for the stream, but I'm simply excited for this game. I played a ton of COD4, then left the franchise after that. This game also has robots in it, which is a big help to me! It looks like this is going to be the closest thing we get to an Armored Trooper VOTOMS game, which is fine by me!

Most of the time spent in this game seems to be either killing purposely terrible ai bots that just stand there, or shooting a lock-on rocket launcher at mechs that can't see you.
