Titanfall 2 Should Have Won Game of The Year

I know a lot of people are going to hate me for saying this. Respawn did a decent job crafting a sci-fi story with a clear beginning, middle and end. This was their first game with campaign mode. I know that Modern Warfare Cod 4 was their game too. But this is their first attempt at a story as a studio. And they nailed it. Titanfall 2 Included interesting well voiced characters with different goals and personalities. And it helped explain about the Universe of Titanfall without getting too long. I felt that the campaign length was perfect even though some say it was short... Titanfall 2 is in essense a story of a regular rifleman becoming a pilot and hero. It is a simple tale and won't win any awards. But it is as good of a story in what used to be just a multiplayer shooter. The game should have been best seller too. They really messed up when they released right between Battlefield and Call of Duty. That was their major mistake. Here is my personal bullet points on why it should have won game of the year. [b]- Amazing Campaign mode with emotion. [/b] Great connection between player and titan. Great writing. The story keeps you interested to finish the game, unlike other games where you just want to finish it for the achivement, and play something else. [b]- Creatively designed levels with Incredible Set Pieces[/b] For me it was the Ash map and the one where you could go back and forth in time that stood out as the best levels imho. - Monumentally Fun Weapons including Unique shooting mechanics The story mode had some awesome weaponry, and hope they add some of those later in Multiplayer. [b]- Outstanding Movement Mechanics[/b] Go as fast or as slow as you want, just matter of putting in the time to learn it. You have choice on how you play based on your playstyle. You basically can play on the ground and play Stealty or you can choose to jump and wallrun everywhere like Gamesager. It is your choice. [b]- Varying titan load outs allowing for Unique playstyles[/b] This one is self explanatory [b]- Extremely challenging and rewarding Multiplayer[/b] Self explanatory. There are two skill levels in multiplayer. You can choose stealth or speed play. Play on ground or camp, or fly around everywhere and be speed demon. [b]- Good Servers and Almost no Issues in Multiplayer[/b], there are a few slowdowns but those usually go away. I have not really experienced any major issues like on in other games with Ghost bullets and players teleporting everywhere. I have no idea why more people are not playing this game. It is really good. Like A+ good quality game. All the people playing COD, this game really is COD at core but with better movement mechanics. The company listens to feedback. This is a company that cares about its fans. People are saying there is nothing to collect. You can collect Camos and Titan emblems. And level up your weapons. I know thats not rewarding but the game itself is fun. The reason why this game didn't win GOTY: They should have made it like Destiny where you need to grind to unlock the better weapons. But these are easy to get. Too easy for some I guess. Maybe added social hub and Raids or Strikes and Co-Op. There really isn't anything about this game that is bad. Really worth picking up. I actually plan to Platinum this just because I enjoy it.

    • Have to disagree with Titan customization. It's lacking compared to Titanfall 1, mainly because you have Titans like scorch who need their primary. Still I liked being able to choose strider Titan with 40mm (or railgun) or ogre with rockets.

      • Overwatch captured a very great audinece of fps gamers, cosplayers, manga artists, mlg players, and even people who just like blizzard games. Its give everyone a playstyle they could love and encourages you to try new ones. Its multiplayer scope is endless

          • Well I personally think the multiplayer is trash compared to its predecessor because it's just doesn't feel like titanfall with the customisation of the first one eg an incredibly light titans with -blam!-ing missiles everywhere. Your point in its bad launch time was done on purpose by EA because they didn't want it to sell as respawn wanted to release dlc free. It's also full of pilot sentry power ups and the hemlock and flatline to name a few meaning boasted players get more boosts and others just dwindle away

              Campaign wasn't fleshed out enough. The BT relationship was great but I could give two shits about the frontier which is what you're supposed to be fighting for. Other than that not enough content. Something like Uncharted should have beat it, hell even Overwatch deserves game of the year over Titanfall 2.

              • Lolno. It was good, great at times, but otherwise a bit of a mess. I'll readily agree that the setpieces are some of the best of recent times, but that shouldn't negate the mediocrity of the standard infantry combat that's basically Call of Duty with scifi effects. The plot is... okay. Pretty good from time to time. I [i]really[/i] do not get the appeal of the ...player character and BT dynamic, though: it's just another sarcastic dudebro and straight-laced AI, as has been done so many times. I suspect I'm going to be asked to name some, and honestly, I can't remember any significant pairs besides Guilty Spark and various UNSC characters. And I know you can choose the dialogue Mr. Dudebro returns with. Speaking of, whose decision was it to put that on the d-pad? So I couldn't even walk and talk. Don't get me started on the multiplayer: Call of Duty 4 shitfest all over again - instant death by people with more weapons and abilities just because they've played more. That seems fair. Also you can't tell where they are half the time because the colour pallet is so lifeless.

                • I'm more irked by Blood and Wine getting the reward for 'Best RPG' over Dark Souls 3. I get it, it's The Witcher 3, but it's not called "The DLC Rewards," is it? Maybe they could reward DLC, but not in place of a full game.

                  • Titanfall 2 took many gamers by storm. Overwatch took the world by storm. It's as simple as that. Though personally DOOM was my favorite game from last year.

                  • 2016 was a great year for shooters. Titanfall is one of my favorite franchises, it's so criminally underrated. Personally, I feel Overwatch deserved it's multiple GOTY awards, but Titanfall 2 was a great game and one of the best shooters in the last decade.

                    • I really ended up liking Titanfall 2. It's a strong game, getting stronger with each update too. Its fun to play... but i'm not so sure that I could ever give GOTY to a studio that used so much gratuitous BLUE and ORANGE as their chief design tactic, as if they were trying to make a Michael Bay movie simulator. Lol. I really do like TF2, but the BLORANGE is a cheap development trick and for that I can't give it GOTY. Great game... feels fun... smooth.. fluid... but too BLORANGE.

                          Its a good game that is/was definitely a game of the year contender. Problem is it did come out around the time of BF1, also around a time when a lot of video games came out. Additonally Overwatch hit harder this year because of its wide appeal. While not my personal game of the year, its a fun game with a ton of character we haven't seen in a long time. Personally I prefer Titanfall 2 over Overwatch.

                          Are you serious??? It's awful. Glad i bought it on special offer for £22 and not full price on release. It's clunky, linear beyond belief, and the one time you are supposed to feel powerful (when in a titan) it feels slow chlostrophobic and underwhelming. Didn't even continue the campaign it was that BORING. The only place it feels good is in pilot v pilot mode and even that gets boring VERY quickly.

                            [quote]I have no idea why more people are not playing this game. [/quote] Because it's boring, lacks a meaningful grind/progression and content as well as simply being released alongside better games. Overall the game is fun they just would have been better off with more attachments such as grips, silencers (which is on a handgun) and more scopes. Now for gaining items well... just level up, That's it no cool blood red tinted scope for doing 10 executions while holding the weapon or a "you see me sliding" camo for 30 slide kills. Then there is the content no survival mode from launch which would have grabbed some people and they removed Angel City 24/7 opposed to adding other for those who like it. Finally the release time, it would have been better going up against CoD on its own with BF1coming out another time opposed to competing with and crushing Tf2.

                            • No it shouldn't have. Uncharted 4 should have won. It was the highest rated game of 2016 and well deserved. Exclusives shouldn't be barred from the game of the year award. I know they win other GOTY awards but they don't get to be THE goty no matter how amazing they are. Even the Last of Us which is one of the greatest games of all time and that is absolutely ridiculous

                                I still don't understand how a cartoony fps with no story mode, no in game lore (which people complain about destiny for but praise this game for it) and lack of actual explanation, EX: how is Soldier and tracer young during the ceremony in the opening but soldier is now old and tracer still young, along with Winston who hasn't changed as well, beat Uncharted 4, that game was outstanding, great story, graphics, voice acting, gameplay, and treasures. The fact that a sorta innovative shooter but not really beat such a wonderful game is such garbage. All the people like ign were praising this game while all the people said "it's good, but nothing too special", when I'm pretty sure the majority of people who played uncharted 4 thought it was outstanding TL;DR: I'm triggered that Uncharted 4 wasn't goty

It's probably the best PVP I have ever played on the PS4 The game would be absolutely something else if it Incorporated a little more PVE period like if they had the destiny PVE and you just replace Crucible with Titanfall 2 you would have a win
