[QUOTE=PCGamesN;43969580][url]http://www.pcgamesn.com/if-youre-going-play-titanfall-play-it-pc[/url][/QUOTE] I got it for cheaper by using hola unblocker on the origin store to change currency to pesos and checking out with paypal, rounded to about 37 dollars. I loved the beta, it is such a great game!
Origin runs much better than Steam tbh and I don't have a problem with using two game launchers
[quote]"The real worry I had about Titanfall going into beta was Origin"[/quote] Really?
[QUOTE=xianlee;43969715]Really?[/QUOTE] Following SimCity and Battlefield 4... yes.
[QUOTE=pcgntim;43969840]Following SimCity and Battlefield 4... yes.[/QUOTE] but the problems they had weren't even related to origin. They were just generally badly developed.
You don't even need run Origin to play Origin games. Also, playing FPS on consoles always felt stupid.
Wait "you can pick and choose your shots without relying on the auto-aim." There's aim assist on the PC version?!

I'm just wondering if they'll notice is all, then again a friend of mine got a Russian copy of BF3 and it was fine.
[QUOTE=Morbo!!!;43969887]Wait "you can pick and choose your shots without relying on the auto-aim." There's aim assist on the PC version?![/QUOTE] Not from what I've seen, besides maybe the Smart Pistol
Well no shit, if you're trying to play FPS games on consoles you're doing it wrong.
[QUOTE=Morbo!!!;43969887]Wait "you can pick and choose your shots without relying on the auto-aim." There's aim assist on the PC version?![/QUOTE] I hooked my controller up to my PC and played for a little bit, there is aim assist in the game
Looks fun, but not 60$ fun.

[QUOTE=Feuver;43970354]Looks fun, but not 60$ fun.[/QUOTE] It's like multiplayer only version for full price

[QUOTE=xianlee;43969715]Really?[/QUOTE] I was worried more about EA's involvement in it. Origin itself runs fine.
[QUOTE=Hogie bear;43969856]but the problems they had weren't even related to origin. They were just generally badly developed.[/QUOTE] More like rushed development by EA.
[QUOTE=kaskade700;43970986]It's not elitism if you legitimately feel crippled playing a FPS with a controller ...[/QUOTE] I never said it was. I said saying that playing FPS on a console is "doing it wrong" is elitism. [QUOTE=kaskade700;43970986]... there's a reason you're not allowed to just plug in your keyboard & mouse on most online console shooters.[/QUOTE] Yes, there is, but what does that have to do with my point?
[QUOTE=Feuver;43970354]Looks fun, but not 60$ fun.[/QUOTE] Then don't buy it for that price? I haven't bought a single full price game in years. Thanks to cd key shops.
[QUOTE=Zatar963;43971440]I never said it was. I said saying that playing FPS on a console is "doing it wrong" is elitism. Yes, there is, but what does that have to do with my point?[/QUOTE] It has everything to do with your point, it feel wrong because it is wrong, you're forced to play with the wrong input system.
[QUOTE=Feuver;43970354]Looks fun, but not 60$ fun.[/QUOTE] I'd prefer if it did have single player or player vs bots like in CoD Black Ops or some kind of survival/horde/firefight type mode. Just something for those of us who like the gameplay/aesthetics of the game but don't want to deal with other players all the time.
[QUOTE=Morbo!!!;43969887]Wait "you can pick and choose your shots without relying on the auto-aim." There's aim assist on the PC version?![/QUOTE] Its 1 gun called the smart pistol. People think its some aimbot super gun but its shit compared to everything else. Its fantastic vs the infantry AI since its instant lockons. But it takes like 5 seconds to lock on a player, so you can just carbine the smart pistol guy down in like 2 seconds.

Never had a problem with the enhanced targeting one at all.
What I meant by 'Really' was the author thought Origin would be a problem.. There is nothing wrong with it.
[QUOTE=HoodedSniper;43972766]Ill give you the amped smart pistol, that shit is pretty op but fucking hilarious. Never had a problem with the enhanced targeting one at all.[/QUOTE] sometimes i think they're just manual aiming, which i'm fine with, but then i see the killcams and i see otherwise, locks on quite fast, enough for it to hold its own in 1on1 combat
What most people fail to realize about the Smart Pistol though is how incredibly powerful the other guns actually are - any situation that you might think that "oh well I locked on in like a second and I was cloaked the entire time" - over the time you even noticed that you were DONE locking on you could have already popped the guy with a shotgun blast, or shot an entire assault rifle magazine into him during the lock-on. Really, the only situation I can think of where I'd prefer to have the smart pistol and cloak instead of something like SMG and Stim (Stim's a big temporary run speed boost) is when I've sneaked up on two dudes and want to pop them both at once without the other noticing. You'd think the automatic aiming would help against wallrunning dudes, but in reality, maintaining a lock at that situation is about as hard as just shooting the dude with full auto. Only thing I'd complain about the smart pistol is how decent it is in manual aiming. It one-shots grunts, two shots spectres and 4 shots pilots, which is surprisingly lethal and can hold it's ground more than sufficiently in close quarters one on ones
If a FPS is released on several platforms I will always favor PC if only for the fact aiming with a mouse doesn't feel like such a fucking mess.
[QUOTE=Ganerumo;43973234]If a FPS is released on several platforms I will always favor PC if only for the fact aiming with a mouse doesn't feel like such a fucking mess.[/QUOTE] Amen brotha, the mouse is simply the best implement for aiming and shooting in most FPS.
