I think he answered the question with the preceding sentence.
As for the logic behind it, there is none. But that doesn't stop it being a valid concern
Anyway, getting off topic..

Graphics will never carry a multiplayer shooter on their own.
I think a lot of people think it's game changing because, first it's as I've said before an evolution of COD gameplay. It took COD mechanics and added mechs and parkour (verticality) into the fray.
There's something about fast-paced gameplay that people loved about COD and this game turned up the dials on that.
Certainly, this game is for the "impatient" gamer. I'd go as far to say this is the anti-thesis to the Battlefield franchise. Guess that's good for EA, since they'll have both crowds under their belt.
Also, I think for many people they want to point to this as game-changing since it's an exclusive to Microsoft consoles.

his post history pretty much confirms that. fucking gross really.
I actually did. I'm expecting reviewers to double down on such things as poor textures in a hard to see area to a slight drop in framerate when things get hectic.
And because of these issues, I expect there to be a lot of points taken off from Second Son.
Agree, really defending hard about graphics and just ignoring the fact that the game is just fun. Its not an exclusivity thing. If Second Son is good it will get good scores. Just have some fun playing games.
Maybe you should ask Microsoft about the console wars since EA basically went behind Vince and Respawns back to secure this as an exclusive for the XB1. You'd be foolish to think people "don't give a shit about that."
Microsoft has a lot riding on this game and rightfully so when they've spent so much money marketing it for EA.

Some people gotta stagger through life taking sides. Fills some kind of void or tries to mask certain inadequacies. We're better off for just for liking fun games.

Haha, oh man. I thought I was supposed to be worried about the lights in that one...
So when a website stands by their reviewer's score, we give them shit. When a website is progressive enough to update their scores based on new info, new experiences, technical issues, new updates...we get this?
Awesome, GAF.

I think that for games that only have multiplayer mode reviewers should play the game much longer than singleplayer games before actually writing a review...
The gameplay after 40hours + might be so different because of better weapons, power ups and such

I'm with you on this. Reviews should change as the game does for better or for worse. Reviews main purpose are to inform prospective buyers if your review is outdated you're actively doing your readers a disservice. Its one of the few things Polygon does right.
Why not, you know, just not give out a score in the first place if you're likely to change your mind?
Giving the likes of BF4 a high score because the online was perfect at a launch event is BS if it then means people buy it in it's broken-ass state. Changing the score later means fuck all to people who bought it because of the original score.
i heard it's for uncompressed audio of 34 other languages
it wont. It'll average a point lower on metacritic. infamous has always been a bit mixed with the main games press.
I kind of was but im not surprised because its cod multiplayer ish as a standalone. that said its scored much better than COD has over the last few years so for the shooter crowd this is a must have.
my copy arrived today but dark souls has priority.
This thread demonstrates to me how little things have changed
The last of us was universally praised as GOTY last year, games like uncharted and litylebigplanet got much praise
Yet people are still complaining about "bias" against Sony. People have still covinced themselves knack and killzone are misunderstood classics (when no-one would give them a second look on any other platform)

it's as if general audiences don't give a shit
Who are these people saying Knack and Killzone are classics?
This is completely off-topic but I laughed too hard when I saw your username and avatar pic.
Don't know if you're a Vick fan or not. But man. +1 for that combination.
Thats very witty and funny mixed together...in other words, I love it.

That would be hilarious and clever to about 84 people, worldwide.
Because games change, and most are treated as services now that improve over time because Minecraft blew the doors open for the rest of the industry.
People who bought it because of the original score shouldn't give a fuck all about the changed score, which reflects an updated/changed product and now serves whoever is looking at the score at that period in time. If you bought the original product and used an evaluation of the original product to aid your purchase, I'm not sure what you have to complain about. Your not buying the same product if it changes, and evaluations of the product should appropriately reflect the current state of affairs. Baffling how hard this is to understand.
There's only 84 people on Gaf?
Absolutely wrong. The hyperbole about Titanfall's graphics is beyond belief at this point.

They trash it because Sony doesn't bribe them.
Don't act like it doesn't happen. Microsoft have been caught out numerous times already this gen doing it.
Just look at the complete lack of flak Xbone games receive for worst frame rates, half the resolution, long load times etc. Go back and look how they treated PS3 games missing a couple lines of resolution.
It's sick how little integrity journalists have had this generation. Anticipating a total shredding of a Sony exclusive is not a stretch.
Unless they majorly overhaul the netcode, changing to Frostbite would just be for eye-candy.
Examples?
You've misunderstood. What I'm saying is that anyone giving scores right now is doing so based on a review event in a very controlled environment. The entire game is reliant on the performance of the servers, and in the event they don't work a la Battlefield 4, then the "original product" as you put it, is broken beyond all use.
Changing the score later doesn't mean it's any less irresponsible to give out a score right now if the score is completely inaccurate to how the game performs in the real world. If, hypothetically, the game is awarded a 4 three weeks from now because the servers have been broken since launch and no-one can connect for more than 1 or 2 matches per day, then giving it a 9 right now based on a review event is BS, because it's advising people to spend $60 when the "original product" was broken from launch.

Need examples. The possibility seems unlikely but not impossible.

Considering many reviewers' use a 5 star system or do whole numbers out of 10 rather then, for example, a 9.3. It makes sense that breaking the +90 barrier would be difficult. Still great scores, especially for a debut title from a new developer.

Sarcasm?
I'd assume he is talking about multi plats receiving the same scores when last gen it generally meant a lower score for the PS3 version. Frame rate and resolution was an issue for them for 8 years and for whatever reason it now doesn't matter.

I should of expected trolls would give the game the lowest possible scores on metacritic because its an XB1 game. Nice to see it got good review scores from critics, though.
I don't agree with him that it looks bad. It's fine. The most important thing is its fun as. I can't wait for Titanfall 2 on ps4 and all this graphics talk will turn into. "it was never about the graphics. It so much fun. We get it too. Take that ms"
Your point nails it

Most likely fanboy comments no thank you. I avoid those like I avoid Youtube comments both equally toxic.
Edit: I ignored my own advice and I read them console fanboys on both sides are both disgustingly toxic. I strongly suggest avoiding reading them because it will do nothing but sour your mood although I am eagerly awaiting the PC version reviews. If they are lower than X1 I will call bullshit.
I know yeah, I mean it's not like resolution has been mentioned on any gaming websites (even those that cater to the 'general audiences') recently. Apparently nobody cares about that stuff except for GAF right?
Anyway, I'm not knocking it. I was just making a lighthearted comment in light of all the 792 goings on recently.
you could take out all the snails in the world with that amount of salt there.
