First game I finished in the shiny new PC I built. Process was a bitch but getting to play this again at max settings and 144 fps made it all worth it. It remains one of the most fun shooters out there and the campaign is still great to play even after 2 previous runs. Multiplayer unfortunately seemed dead as hell and even when I got matches it was unplayably laggy. I think everyone's on the Northstar client thing? Idk I didn't try it.

Its been almost 2 months since I beat this game again and I just didn't add it here because I am a lazy cunt. Man, this game almost feels like it came from a different era. This kind of AAA experience of a single player, linear mission/chapter/level based campaign coming with a very separated multiplayer with tons of modes and different unlockables and shit is something you just don't see much these days with the increasingly braindead push for live service games. I feel like only Call of Duty keeps doing that, and even then they do it while maintaining their shitty battle royale live service on the side. I firmly believe we are going to start seeing a lot of that kind of game announce their EoS in the not too far away future. There is just not enough time, customers or money for all of them to keep an audience grinding forever. Fortunately, Titanfall 2 is not a live service, and what it does have on its current and final state is very fun. I replayed the campaign on hard and it was a great experience, with Cause and Effect being one of the most standout moments. Just a great mission all around with a great gimmick that sticks around just long enough to never feel stale. I can say the same thing about pretty much every mission to be honest, there is a lot of variety that kept me very entertained despite already knowing what was going to happen. The game plays amazing too, but I particularly enjoy playing as the pilot. You are stupidly nimble but easy to control and the game does a good job on selling the speed you're moving at. I hate to say it but I enjoyed playing as a titan considerably less despite how cool they are and how starved we are of mecha games. The campaign has a couple titan combat focused parts, and the duels against bosses on your titan can be fun, but I really didn't like how weak and slow it feels. The multiplayer is unfortunately pretty dead and the servers are kinda fucked. Most of the time I just wasn't able to find matches, and when I could 4 out of 5 times it was frontier defense. Which is fun enough but not quite what I wanted. In conclusion, fuck Respawn for cancelling Titanfall 3 in order to focus on Apex Legends, I will never forgive them

Saw a lot of praise for this game, so when I found it was on a pretty steep discount I decided to pick it up. The campaign was really solid, if a bit short. Interesting locations to visit, with a very satisfying gunplay that has a very fun movement system. Titans are big chunky bastards that occasionally move fast, but the combat is just not as fun as on foot in my opinion. The duels against strong titans are the highlight, they can get intense. Haven't touched the multiplayer, but maybe one day.
