Ignorant Developers
So it's late, this might be a bit of a rant and what have you.
But why does it seem so many developers ask for feedback from their fans, acknowledge problems, but go the opposite way of the problem. But on the other hand it seems they might listen too much to some and give in to those stupid pressures.
And here we have Titanfall 2.
Say what you will about this Call of Duty-esque fps with mechanical but I had a pretty fun time with it(considering I don't play CoD probably helps).
With the first game it received praise but was held back by being console family exclusive to the Xbox's. And one could argue Origin for PC but that service is just not going away.
It really didn't get a whole lot of negative sayings on it. Out of everything I saw, there was a minor and major issue. The former being stupid A.I.(which most seemed rather unconcerned about but hopeful for the next game[Jokes on you]) and a severe lack of content in most places. Not a whole lot in the way of variety of weapons or titans, maps, and even game modes.
Well there was one other "major" problem, that being singleplayer missing, but that sort of depends on the camp your in, I don't think it was needed. And it's possibly made a game worse.
So we have the Titanfall Beta.
Attrition(the most played game mode) is gone.
This sort of makes sense as after just a few months this was more or less the only mode with full lobbies, at least on PC. I could see where they don't want people garnering in on just a piece of the game. On the other side it doesn't make sense also.
Titans are now pure skill based. Rather than be tied to a timer that speeds up according to performance it's now tied to the latter alone. So you could be put in a public match with a terrible team and have no chance. But more importantly this means less Titans, you know the things that make the title?
But Titans aren't really that good anymore. Their shield doesn't regenerate, you steal batteries from enemy titans to restore shields. And your allies can do it for you and vice versa, and it's just rather silly and convoluted. But it makes the titan gameplay not very fun.
And instead of better A.I. we have these weird neutral ones on a single game mode? Wtf?
Pilot gameplay feels a lot less fluid as well even with the grappling hook.
So we had multiplayer people asking for a more varied version of multiplayer and people asking for a senseless single player campaign that will last ten hours, maybe.
