Titanfall 2's Price Gets Stomped in Latest PlayStation Store Christmas Deal

I'm tempted too. Though with so much of Watch Dogs 2 to work through, I can wait until after Christmas for this one to drop a bit more.

I'm tempted.

I bought the game at £35 - thanks to a 2 for £80 pre-order deal with £10 off orders over £75 - so had this on day 1. I also had the original Titanfall on XB1.

The campaign itself is OK and obviously something new to Titanfall. However I did think it was over-rated and considering the majority of staff brought us Modern Warfare, I expected more. Thats not to say it isn't well put together and/or bad with a few interesting missions but its quite formulaic and some of the dialogue - particularly the boss fights are very poor. The missions seem to follow the same pattern. Start off with (or at least near BT), separate off and do some platforming, then combat, more platforming, more combat, more platforming, then some combat, reunite with BT and battle a Boss titan that has around 4 lines of Dialogue that they repeat over and over until you beat them - repeat this for every mission until you beat the final boss - do a bit more platforming and then its over. That's the basic formula of the campaign and whilst 1 mission does mix it up with a 'time switch' device which affects combat and platforming a bit, the formula is still the same. Visually its a good looking game, especially on the Pro and performance/mechanics feel solid, it left me feeling a little disappointed - maybe my expectations were too high?

MP plays well too. The mechanics are very smooth. Visually its better looking overall than the original but I do feel the original maps had more character with more wildlife and 'out of map' activity - like giant beast walking in the distance, space craft flying overhead etc. Customisation has been improved in some areas although reduced in others (like the Titans). Yes we may have 6 distinct Titans, before we had 3 basic types. However these 3 types also had the option to customise weapons too so you had 5 different main weapons with 3 basic frames given 15 different options. It also seems that Titans are harder to earn and easier to destroy so most of the time, its hardly TITAN-fall. Again though its good fun and at least all meaningful DLC will be free - but does have micro-transactions for 'cosmetic' DLC.

Its difficult to assess the full 'value' of this game at the moment because we haven't received all the content yet. Games like CoD and BF can be assessed at their start to a degree (although patches and balancing can alter it slightly) but with TF2, we don't know how many Maps we will end up with, whether they will add new modes - like a co-op horde style mode as they did in TF. However, even with the content as is, its a game I would still recommend. I know I may have sounded a bit negative but I have focused more on these rather than taking it at face value.

Shouldn't we get the 12 days of Christmas and you guys get like the 12 Boxing Days or something?

Waiting for Week 2 news. Did you guys cover Week 1?

I'm tempted, but weighing up the hard drive cost more than the price. How are we supposed to take advantage of all these bargains with only 1tb HD space?

It's well worth £25. Personally enjoyed the campaign, and I very rarely play MP but this is alongside Overwatch as my go to online game.

Haven't most of these Xmas deals been on sale recently? Seems like they have just knocked a couple of extra quid off an older set of sales and just rebranded it as an Xmas sale, touch lazy me thinks. Or perhaps i am just getting a bit Scroogie??

That free trial recently completely drew me in and I usually hate FPS, so I'm tempted, but I'm gonna save my cash for next week when Watchdogs 2 is in the 12 days deal. Titanfall will probably go for cheap in a few weeks hopefully.

I'm going to wait till it's £20 or under! To busy switching between Ark and The Division to worry about it, both of them will keep me going over the Christmas period, specially with us PS4 players not getting "The Survial" till the 20th.

It really sucks this didn't sell well. It's an excellent game and the most fun I've had in awhile with a first person shooter, both in multiplayer and single player.

DO ITTT

Starting to seem like the 'Dude Bro Era' is coming to an end.

Annualized military shooters are tanking? Can't say I'm shocked or saddened.

Yearly sports games and yearly shooters were never my thing.

It's gonna be a small turkey this year, after all the shiny things that have tempted me in the last few months, my wallet looks like a Trump supporter that got lost on a liberal college campus.

Tempted by this as I think the game looks sweet but would rather have physical and will wait to see how the pricing goes post christmas.

@GamerDad66 Dudebro is a fashion, like all fashions they come to an end. Unlike us proper gamers who are like Jeans - always ready even if they haven't had a wash for 2 months.

Funny this but I was speaking to lad from work who is a self professed gamer (yup dudebro) because he's played destiny, gta v, The division and Fifa over the last 2 years. No idea what final fantasy is, he didn't know super Mario world was on the snes or any concept of the console wars prior to 2014, thought goldeneye was a film about birds (and laughed with some equally as clueless dipship from admin), hadn't heard of baldurs gate and thought Mass Effects choice driven story elements were boring. I wouldn't call my self a film buff just because I've watched Antman and Madmax (typical none film buff films) over the last year so how come its different with games?

Anyway yeah sales are declining apparently so maybe gaming isn't as in fashion anymore. Maybe the likes of destiny and the division have a negative impact on future casual game sales as they are all consuming. Maybe Dudebros need punching in the face.

picked it up in the PSN Black Friday sale, and it's the most fun I've had with a fps in years. Anyone whos tempted should pick it up, and at £25 it's a steal!

I never heard of the term dudebro I think I am out of touch with some aspects of gaming.

The thing with gaming you have games like Destiny, Divison. ESO and they soak up so mch time there is no time for other games. I have bought Xcom2 Watch Dogs 2, Dragon Quest Builders and a few others not even touched them yet. Because I am playing other game which I feel really invested in and do not want to leave. So now even when I see a good deal (which I think this is) I am cautious to buy another game. I bought Battleborn for £20 thought that was a good deal now you can get it for £5 new.

It already got reduced to £20 during black Friday
Well worth that price too it's a fun game

@BAMozzy I would like some different maps Indeed.

@dryrain I know your problem i have the same one. Battleborn is not for me though i payed full price and somehow i hate it. I loved the beta but the full game was somehow worse then the beta.

@Flaming_Kaiser Maps like Boneyard (if you played it) had so much more character - thanks to all the 'dragons' on the map. These added so much to the map - seeing them flying and landing on the rocks, flying off if you approached, picking off the odd AI etc. It gave the maps something unique, made them feel part of a bigger world instead of a closed system and more generic like they are now.

I played it over the free weekend. It's COD, but with mechs as kills streak rewards. This type of game peaked a good while ago and is now stagnant.
