Good game. But HARD.
Interesting. I wonder when Soul Reaver 2 got ported to PC? Just a warning though, I couldn’t stand the gameplay, even though I loved the dialogue and voice acting. Luckily, I had a friend at the time who played through it, so I could just watch. That’s the perfect way to play Soul Reaver 2: have someone else play it while you watch and be a backseat driver.
Prolly because the player base is dwindeling fast. And the new COD is coming.
I played this past week, tried the new hoard mode, for east coast at like 7 to 9 pm there were about 1500 players online across all modes / dlcs. This is the east coast only server , so take that into consideration also. Still seems super low.
See, that’s the problem with multiplayer-only games. I would buy a call of duty at $10 or whatever just for the single-player campaign. As multiplayer-only, it literally has zero value. It’s Brink-syndrome.
Yeah, I bet it’s hard to get full matches in the campaign modes at this point, but you have to complete those to unlock all three Titan models.
Not really, I checked when I played and a good 400+ people were playing the campaign, which I was pretty shocked to see.
Also as of patch 4 , the 2 titans that were locked until you complete the campaigns, are now unlocked once you reach levels 15 and 30.
Maybe but the money grab dlc is probably petered out and is divisive in the first place so…call me crazy but I am thinking the ship has basically sailed here.
Interesting that Amazon lists the regular price for the Titanfall download code as $40, when their boxed copies are only $20. Origin also shows it as $20, currently on sale for $15.
Also, Titanfall is currently part of Origin’s Game Time promotion where you can play it free for 48 hours. That may be helping the population numbers a bit.
Which is why they’re getting what they can now.
Lego Hobbit just got its price drop, 5$ on GMG today, and can be combined with a voucher.

Is there any reason to play Oblivion if I thought Skyrim was just OK due to the poor combat?

Nope. You should be burned at the stake for blasphemy, but if you didn’t enjoy Skyrim you won’t like Oblivion.
There were aspects of Skyrim I enjoyed - like the exploration, but as a whole I just found it Ok. I really wish Bethesda would figure out how to make better combat. I didn’t know if there was anything Oblivion did better than Skyrim.
Any recommendations on Shadow Warrior? Is it all hack and slash or is there some story or adventure / exploration game-play?
Nope. Skyrim combat was much improved.
Combat in Skyrim is definitely an improvement over Oblivion. Just as much as Oblivion’s combat was over Morrowind’s. The only thing I would suggest, on the small chance that you’re playing Skyrim via mouse and keyboard, is to suggest that you give it another shot using a gamepad. Most of the improvements on combat in both Oblivion and then Skyrim are on the gamepad side. So just keep an open mind and try it with the gamepad.
If you were already on gamepad, ignore everything I just said.
I’m not sure I ever tried it with a gamepad. After 3 false starts, I did finally play through a significant portion of Skyrim last year, but is was M&K.
