Titanfall 2 Review

By -

I don't know why they released all the big FPS games for the year so close to one another but as soon as I beat the Battlefield 1 single player campaign I jumped over to Titanfall 2 and did the same.

I've read about a lot of people being blown away by the Titanfall 2 campaign but I have to be honest, I wasn't.

Not that it's bad.  Because it's not.  It's actually really good.  Compared to FPS single player campaigns from other games within the last few years it definitely blows most of them out of the water.

The problem I had was that I played it the day after I beat the Battlefield 1 campaign and I thought that game was just so amazing.  Titanfall 2 didn't have nearly the impact on me that Battlefield 1 did.  But if you're more interested in wallrunning and giant mechs falling from the sky than you are in things based vaguely on real historical events then maybe Titanfall 2 is a game for you.

Like I said, I did like it a lot.  I actually liked the multiplayer of Titanfall 2 better than that in Battlefield 1.  In the end I didn't like either multiplayer enough to truly get invested and keep playing.  I sent them both back after a few days, so I'm glad I rented them instead of bought.

I just hope Titanfall 2 didn't screw itself over too much since it released the week in between the two biggest shooters of the year.  They might have shot themselves in the footer there.  Hopefully they do well enough to get to make Titanfall 3.

Latest Board Gaming

Besides video games I also regularly play board games when I'm hanging out with people face to face.  My brother, my wife, and I end up playing a lot of 3 player board games, but sometimes we get other players involved too. I realized I haven't talked much about what I've been playing in the world of board games, so here goes: Ticket to Ride - We own 3 different base versions of Ticket to Ride, 2 expansion sets, and an extra map set.  We love this game.  This is the game that gets the most overall table time when I'm playing board games with friends.  It's super accessible but still holds fun for people who have been playing the game for a long time.  I recommend this as a great beginner board game for anyone. Masquerade - A hidden role game where roles are constantly switching hands.  You're limited in actions on your turn and can only take one action.  This means that a lot of the time you're not entirely sure what role you currently ...

S2E22 - E3 2017 - “Who doesn’t want to be a dinosaur?!”

E3 Hype! E3 2017. Not comprehensive. Not VGNN.  Only talking about things we think are interesting enough to talk about.  You have video game news sites for the rest :) We’re talking about Press Conferences, if more news comes out throughout the rest of the week it won’t be here because we’re recording on Tuesday night! http://e3recap.com/ has been my friend Overall trends Esports being forced onto games that aren’t even out yet “Influencers” being put front and center BJ: torn on the current “influencer” boom. Feels like a bubble that’s totally disingenuous Shorter press conferences with less big game announcements Really hard to tell what is actually exclusive Microsoft “Console Launch Exclusive” Most of these press conferences would have been better pre-recorded as just a series of trailers instead of having a stage show, honestly. Updates on games we already knew existed.  This is what we get for so many years of announcing g...

What is Blaugust? 2023 Edition

By -

I jumped right into the previous post without actually explaining Blaugust.  So... what is it?  Blaugust is an excuse to get people blogging... in August.  Hence, Blaugust! I'm not the best person to pitch it, but Blaugust is put on by a long time friend of mine, Belghast.  Here's what he had to say about Blaugust for the 2023 kickoff: Blaugust is a month-long event that takes place in August each year that focused on blogging and other serialized content. The goal is to stoke the fires of creativity and allow bloggers and other content creators to mingle in a shared community while pushing each other to post more regularly. For years blogging has been dwindling, and in part, Blaugust was my attempt and reversing that course by compiling a bunch of veteran bloggers in one place and making it super easy to ask questions and get answers. The idea is that this festival of blogging can help reignite dwindling fires for the next year and give folks a sense of kinship as a...
