It's been a looooong time since Warhawk. The gaming landscape (specifically console landscape) has changed dramatically since then.

What games do you play man? I can't name a single console game I've played that has had a perfect 60fps.
There is innovation in TitanFall.
Maybe you don't see it if you don't hardcore play multiplayer FPS, but it's there.

I think it's a legitimate review for a $60 retail title. This isn't an DD-only game.

It's like the next era of FPS is among us. Quake then Goldeneye, back to quake engine with COD. Now we are seeing a new dawn of the creators using another engine, that made for me, a sense of freshness and positivity for the future of RESPAWN. More Dev's need to be under less publisher LAW they should make the LAW! .

Congrats to Respawn and EA. Very happy for them to see such great reviews across the board. The game looks like lots of fun, though it's just not my style of game.
Have to say that I did expect a little higher on Metcaritic - not that it really matters. I expected a Metcaritic in the low 90's. The reason for that really comes down to how much certain people in the press hyped the game. Some made it sound like an incredible game-changer. To me it sounds like an awesome game, but not quite at the level some were hyping it.

This game was never in any danger of getting less than an aggregate 85. Like other games before it that previewed and demoed well, what I'd really be interested in seeing is which outlets decide to shit on it simply for that contrast with other scores and reel in the clicks.
There's mechs and wall-running it's completely different.
They seem pretty positive about it while also mentioning the performance issues that other reviewers have pointed out.

I was expecting higher....although this game is really interesting from a review perspective so anything higher might have been a faulty assumption on my part

That's kinda like poorly reviewing a BluRay disc because it doesn't work in your DVD player, IMO.

No. Because a calculator watch could easily perform the tasks of Titanfalls AI.
On topic, good score. Plan on picking this up later this year for PC. Gunna be good stuff.

This is a game that was never ever going to get a lowreview aggregation
Besides that last part, I completely agree.
Some people do look forward to the COD campaigns
True, some people truly do.

This is the cheesiest thing I've read in ages.
I freaking love it. Just keep in mind that this stuff it berry-flavored and not just the normal product, since, you know, that always gets ladies in the mood and whatnot.
Spoiler to the youths reading: No it will not.
Semi-related; Less dubstep flying around regarding this game than I'd been expecting.
I think there's a lot of caution this year regarding the big AAA stuff. Last year Bioshock Infinite--A totally fine game--Got 90+es across the board. But a month later it was shamed senselessly by The Last Of Us. Later, GTAV game and gobbled up an even higher average but led to general disappointment that after a weeks of playing shows to many the 10/10s were hardly deserved. Anyway, with hyper-hype stuff this year--This, Watch Dogs and Destiny namely--I think we'll see a lot of 9/10s and not 10s even if there's some consensus of incredible quality. No one wants another year of the thing that many sites gave the best reviews of not getting top honors. 85-90 for AAAs this year will be everyone playing it safe and few people wanting to take risks at 10 or 7.

There's air is a little salty in here. Wah wah no innovation. Anyone being a pedantic git can strip any game apart and point out a game that did it before. It's all about the sum of it's parts, and Titanfall adds up very nicely.
Hopefully the servers will hold up on launch day, not been this psyched for a game since...I can't even remember.

Glad to see the reviews are so positive. I had a blast with the limited amount of time I had with the beta. I will definitely be picking this one up!!
Congrats, Respawn!

87 is a great average, I don't think you could be disappointed with glowing reviews like that. Anyone saying they 'need' over 90+ is speaking from vanity.
I do generally agree with you and can see why some people get more fun out of multiplayer than the SP game. The reason there is a comparison is because of the amount of Assets, textures, artwork, voice acting, mocap, programing, story scripts, directing, Next gen game engines that come into play with some games that definately are full value of $60.
Compare that against a fixed amount of player models/titans/random maps and a modified source engine all without the same quantity of resources + cost to make on some areas listed above.
Would be interesting to know Titanfalls budget vs GTA for example, both $60 games.
again will reiterate, its just food for thought, I do completely agree some people will see that this game is a full 60$ value to them and if you value it, its your perogative to pay for it, its just a discussion point as to why imo It should be slightly cheaper, around the $30-$45 range.
That has got to be the worst analogy I've seen in quite some time now.
This is an analogy that doesn't even work on a superficial level, let alone beyond that.
Edit: thanks, post above me.

Multiplayer only will do that.

and to be fair, titanfall lore given so far seems real interesting and the core gameplay could work for a real kickass SP campaign.

Metacritic scores are much lower than they used to be and it's a multiplayer only title. There is still the stigma that a game is only half a game if it's multiplayer only. It doesn't seem to apply to singleplayer only games, though.
How do you know if he's going to play it?
How do you know whether he's playing on PC or not?
If the servers hold up fine after the first few days, the GIs and IGNs and PCGamers of the world will probably end up dropping some extremely high scores. It could still end up with a 90.
I wonder if any of those reviewers still think the same, considering this game is more expensive and behind gold paywall unlike warhawk.

Meh, I'm sure the case clearly states it's a online only title.
Fine, how about poorly reviewing a drama because you thought it was going to be a comedy. IDK.
My point is, it's just not a valid complaint if your a professional critic, IMO.
But of course, it's his opinion so I'm not going to try and discredit it for others, just it doesn't hold weight to me.

Sounds like a pretty good game.
The lack of modes is both surprising and disappointing, as is the half-assed campaign, but I kinda figured the latter would be a bit barebones. It's not like they were gonna create tons of new assets for a campaign.
Good job Respawn!

Is this true? Genuinely curious. I look back at titles that managed 90+ and I don't even understand how it's done anymore. Unless you're a game that everyone's tossing themselves silly about (TLOU, GTAV, etc) I don't even see how it's possible.

Not true at all. 87 is very good on metacritic. Take a look at some other hyped games. Most are much lower than this

Great reviews for a new ip.
What about Gundam extreme vs full boost? Does that not do anything for you?
Multiplayer only games score very differently than sp games. Look at Dota 2 for example. It's got a score in the mid 80's yet there are people out there that will tell you it's the best game ever made.
MP is very subjective depending on the type of player you are and the people you play against.
