The reason they went OTT on Titanfall was because it was the first big XBox One game - it kinda has the hopes of the console resting on it.
Has anyone played Dayz, the zombie survival game? It's a totally different experience as you spend 99% of the time trudging through forests or looting houses then, out of nowhere, some fucker shoots a hole in your head and you have to start all over again.
I haven't got into it but it seems absolutely brilliant, the maps are so huge and the tension is all created by yourself. As you start as a survivor and have nothing it matters not if you die, but once you've found some nice kit, got a good gun etc the tension ramps up as you're desperate not to lose it. There are some really well followed youtube channels that post long gameplay from it and it's actually very enjoyable to watch (mainly because they fast forward and just show you on the map how they ran through a forest for 15 mins to go round a dodgy looking village or w/e).
In one clip a group of well kitted out people with vehicles and everything, round up some freshly spawned noobs on the auspice of helping them. They coral them all onto a bus drive them to 'safety' then when they get to their camp, they put 2 inside a fenced off area, lob in one axe and say 'who wants to live'. absolutely hilarious, or at least it was to me.
similarly watching some bandits come up upon someone, get them to put down their weapon then..... 'take off your trousers' just always makes me laugh.
Very much seems a good game to play with a group of friends though meeting up with the maps being so huge and spawns being random can be a real ballache.
cod is for kids imo. unfortunately bf4 promised so much and delivered so very very little. really glad their share price dropped so harshly they really did balls up the release it's untrue. it's ok though the games still not fixed or even been massively overhauled but they have brought out two more bits of downloadable content (obv not free) and are in the works on more all the while whilst the current game is in a mess.
