I'm just waiting for oculus rift games where it literally just simulates the gym experience while you actually lift weights.

RE: death scenes I think it fits a lot more in Last of Us because of the brutality of the world, but I totally get people being tired of it/having issue with it. In Tomb Raider it felt gratuitous despite trying to be harsh as well. It mostly felt like violence porn in that game. Always thought it was odd that dying to gunfire was by FAR the least graphic death in that game. Some of those death scenes felt borderline fetishized. On finishing the game: I think you should give it a shot, it was one of the my favorite games last year. I too do not own a ps3. I had played a little at my sister's place, got interested and then ended up marathoning the rest in like 5-6 hours one day when she wasn't even home. It does have a slow build for sure, but it really does kick it up after the hotel.

And most of those abilities are attached to items in dota

Actually, the balance stuff is what I like given it's often major changes or complete ability reworks. I'll give Lol that it's aram mode is better though. Not an uber fan, I play maybe once a month if that.

You can get it with a burn card

Tried the ogre titan...ended up rolling through 3 enemy titans with it. Less movement but tough and that shield core ability is pretty nuts.

It's basically Brink done better, also robots

Not to mention the robocop quote on it

what can I say, goatse is an inspirational story about one man's goal to stretch his hole beyond the limitation placed upon it. I want that kind of attitude to be present in my work.

I just accidentally painted a goatse.

If they did that they'd have to at least make sure you don't end up with 3 amp pistol cards or something silly

There were a number of people with graphical issues, so maybe! Unrelated badass moment: We barely lost hardpoint, My titan is the only one up and I'm defending the dropship from enemy titans, I figured I'd just sacrifice to save the others. Take one titan out, mine is in flames however. Dropship has taken off, I eject, my titan's explosion kills another and I manage to land inside the dropship just before it warped away. So apparently it's totally possible to catch the dropship after take off.

Yea it's a very vertical game, I try to only traverse ground level with cloak unless I'm forced out there. The sidewinder antititan weapon feels better to me since there's no lock time and it can chip at shields.that said, I tend to rodeo a lot more since most people don't use the smoke, even though it's secretly really good

mine's dloree, though I may not really be able to play much today

But your robot buddy will help you out!

cool moment: riding an enemy titan, he notices me, I hop off and call down my titan while his is temporarily immobile and crush it with mine landing.

Sounds very Monday Night Combat, although players could damage the ball too, just bots helped a ton

It's not xp really, but killing grunts and getting some kills do shave some time off, there's a timer icon that pops up when it happens. Grunts are 20, players are 50(might be 100 and 50 is assist, I can't remember), titans are 200xp. On titan ejection...if you're riding it usually they get out rather than eject, the titan bends over when it happens. Other wise you just have to watch for the ejection. If they have the nuclear explosion kit the titan will go all "I am become lens flare, destroyer of worlds" once they eject.

The grunts are pretty much just decoration, they don't really do much other than giving you a little extra xp for killing them. However the Titans in AI mode actually do get kills and can act as either a partner or a guard. Sometimes it is still better to control them, has a human pilot can obviously use certain abilities at a better time. Really just depends on the situation. I do wonder if they'll increase the grunts potency a little or put an option in for that.

Re: Evacuation, it's clearly trying to reinforce the war feel. But you do get extra points for succeeding in that section. If you manage to escape you get +200xp and usually a burn card. I think the winners may get a bonus too if they manage to explode the ship before it takes off. Found it interesting that the section becomes permadeath for both sides in that segment. Games are indeed relatively short, but I didn't mind that much. There is a lot of shared DNA with CoD, however the freedom of movement, especially in the vertical space definitely feels better. Though that said the game did yell at me for "leaving the battle area" for climbing a tower that I could have totally gone higher up on. That was silly. The burn cards are a bit interesting, being one time use power ups or special weapons. Rather than having perks on top of loadouts like in CoD.

Lag issues are really killing me, the moments where it is smooth are lovely though. Even though it was just AI, I did karate kick a bunch of robots, so I mean that almost makes up for the lag

I don't remember that at all. I did put robocop in my playlist and by sheer luck it kicked on while i jumped in my titan and mowed down some dudes

Seems to be host/client? I keep getting really laggy matches. Also nobody seems to play hardpoint for some reason.

It's my professional opinion that someone needs to mod in the robocop theme to play when you call your titan. Only played a couple matches, Last Titan standing isn't that exciting, cooler to start on foot I think. Still fooling around with the parkour but it seems pretty extensive. Rad jumping out a window and then scrambling up the wall to go up a floor so I can get the drop on an enemy.
