Let's be honest this generation will go down as the worse every

GTA5 >>> Saints Row 1
Splinter Cell Double Agent was the worst in the series, which then took a hiatus for 4yrs because of it
Phantasy Star was a port and didn't take any real advantage of the hardware
Sports titles
Sports games today >>> YesterdayGodfather
You didn't even mention Kameo or COD 2 
DR3 >>> DR1
Ninety Nine Nights was ass
FF12
Elder Scrolls was decent, but too complex for 99% of gamers
Killer Instinct >>> DOA
Titanfall >>> The first Recon on 360, ditto with BF4
Forza Horizon 2 murders Test Drive so bad that you must have not played Horizon 2 yet
Rainbow six lost its luster once last gen began, but will reclaim its spot in a few months
Fusion Frenzy 1 not 2 was out, and while decent, isn't better than
Ori and the Blind Forest
Max and the curse of the brotherhood
Guacamelee
Valiant Hearts
Super Time Force
Chariot
Dance Central Spotlight
Outland
Volgarr is my shyt
I didn't even name most of the main titles, I was just naming titles that were comparable to the ones you named. But I feel I've already made my point imo

You just didn't have as many friends to play with, so it wasn't overall as fun for you.
Friends dictate how fun a game is
If you have an online game and none of your friends have it, its a different experience
Jealous gamers went out there way to change the perception of Titanfall from best game ever to worst game ever because it lacked a campaign
Thats how serious it got.. but perception is a big deal. Do you have the DLC maps?
The variety of levels, modes, and now even the 8 vs 8 pilot mode that wasn't there during launch
Its a different game now than it was in March. And if you have this on PC? Then you never had the real experience.
Just sayin... I been on it lately, and its been mad fun
You couldnt make it anymore obvious you werent gaming back then.
Games were dropping every week. Their was way more studios and the time to create games takes longer now.
The amount of games releasing then absolutely dwarfs what happens now

Please tell me how does the Xbox experience differ from the PC experience? You always talking about nikkas "experiences" with games whenever they don't agree with you, but you never actually explain anything, you just ramble on more about "experiences". I ran TF with a squad of 3 most times I played on PC. After the 1st DLC pack I just didn't care for the game anymore and that was well after my homies hopped off the TF wave. We fell back onto CoD on 360, and recently got into CSGO where we've put a good amount of hours into it without a single sign of boredom.
Hell I run BF4 solo on PC more than I run it on PS4 with coli brehs because the game just feels better on PC to me. Friends can make a game fun, but if my whole group felt the game was mediocre, there was probably something that sparked that feeling(which ironically is the fact TF didn't have a spark). TF is a mediocre game with some potential in an already super crowded genre.
What games are using Titanfall's ideas and to what extent? What exactly is Titanfall bringing to the table that will have it held in such high regards?
Game is alright but it's not classic, nor will it achieve that praise without really bringing something game-changing to the table like those other games did. Halo always stood out as an arena shooter and a game that really pushed console FPS gaming to new heights with it's online capabilities in 2. CoD always stood out for it's advances with CoD4 introducing sprint, it's rank progression system, and class layout build system to the masses. Battlefield was always the leader of massive scale warfare styled games, pushing things like 12 v 12, 16 v 16, and eventually 32 v 32 player matches for consoles, introducing various vehicles and weapons to help create such an atmosphere.
What's TF doing that will be borrowed and revered in years to come?
Community matters. Also titanfall was built around controller input. Plenty of "classic" games were never very popular on PC
TF brought the concentration on "traversal" into FPS's.
COD has already been influnced and it looks like Halo 5 is too.
You're going through all this to call titanfall "mediocre" but its still the best rated FPS in years, and one of the best rated games of this generation. Are you saying all shooters have been less than "mediocre" for years now?

What
I always explain EVERYTHINGOn PC, the game sold about 42 copies first off
Then, even more 1st off. PC uses a mouse and keyboard combo which is TOTALLY DIFFERENT than using a controller
The "experience" aka the entire gameplay is different with that setup.
I'm guess you was gonna downplay the difference? That would be like saying analog sticks didn't change the way we game in 3D spaces. Mice and Keyboard combos make games play different
You can cheese in ways you can't otherwise. Games have to be designed to not be exploited that way
A game that is identical (i.e. titanfall) means it will play better on one form of controls.
Lots of shooting games on PC are damn near unplayable because they were unbalanced.
ON XB1, Titanfall is balanced and there is a nice community of gamers. If you didn't experience this for yourself, then you really can't speak on it. Now, I asked you if you had any of the DLC and you dodged that question
So you don't. Ok, I'm assuming you haven't tried the 8 vs 8 modes either?
I have played all these modes. Don't get mad at me for actually knowing what I'm talking about
For actually playing these modes and giving real opinions. MOst of you guys just repeat what the nearest fanboy said and keeps it moving. Okey dokey
Once again, you completely missed my point. Quantity means nothing. What I am saying is, what gen has had a year one of quality, good AAA titles outside this one? What drop on PS1 in year one outside of RE and Tomb Raider? Name some quality games in year one of the PS2 before GTA? Max Payne? 360 outside of gears? N64 was literally dropping one game every 3-4 months. PS3 had nothing before Uncharted outside of sports titles and the occasional Tom Clancy games. So this notion that this gen is horrible or will be the worst when we already have better titles dropping year one the the last three is bullshyt
So popularity on PC=whether or not gameplay is enjoyable or not? I had no problems finding competition on PC, it was enjoying the gameplay past the 2nd month that became a problem for me. I loved Rainbow Six Vegas 1 and 2 on 360 and played them for YEARS despite the small communities. That didn't stop me from enjoying the gameplay on both of those. I've played plenty of games where communities range from 1000 to 25000 active players. Shadowrun was one of the deadest shooters on the 360 and I still managed to play it on a semi-frequent basis.
Titanfall simply didn't entertain me when it comes to longevity. It's not a classic, nor do I think at this point in time will it ever be one.
And yes a LOT of shooters have been very mediocre for a while now. Halo Reach, most CoDs after MW2, Brink, Crysis, Ghost Recon Future Soldier, Brink(
could've been so much more), etc.The FPS genre is very over-saturated with games copying winning formats. Halo has had traversal gameplay moments in it with the jetpack and other perks in Reach and 4, but because TF dropped suddenly Halo 5 is influenced by it? OK.
Titanfall is mediocre. The overall package was cool and I enjoyed that for a couple months, but it didn't hold me like other games.

Community is what gives a game longevity. Titanfall community in PC is abysmal. Until the last couple weeks the X1 community was just fine(it probably still is I have not tried).
What your doing here is like saying "BF4 was never popular on X1 therefore its a mediocre game"
Opinions differ, so you don't have to like the game. But you can't call a game sitting at 86 metacritic higher than all of its competitors "mediocre"

Payin Debts.... N40
I kinda get what you are saying but I think we are just expecting more since we ate so good last generation. But it's only the first year and things are picking up. This month alone I have bought two games (Assassin's Creed and GTA V) while I'm still on the fence for Dragon Age. The games are coming but we just have to wait.

PC Community was good for the first 2-3 months, after that it fell off. People weren't feeling the game like that, and I was among those people. I can still pop in and find matches, but obviously the game has since died off for other, better games. I agree on the difference between mice/controllers, it's evident no matter what games you play across different platforms. However, my experience was the gameplay was fun at first but didn't hold my attention like I thought it would and I highly doubt playing on the 1 would suddenly change that. I personally don't see what would make this game a classic.
Show me where I ducked the DLC question??? Was it when I said I purchased the 1st DLC map pack, and because I didn't enjoy the gameplay anymore, I didn't go further in buying more DLC??? I loaded up the game a couple weeks ago and played the 8 v 8 mode as well as a co-op mission breh. Didn't draw me back in. You and Meach the only people I've seen put Titanfall and classic in the same sentence. Even your fellow X1 owners don't mirror those claims.I rarely speak on games I don't own. I'm not one of these fanboys that spew shyt just to spew it. When Meach said TF>Destiny because of the new content, I offered to check out the new content additions to the game before giving my truthful opinions on them. I give these games fair chances, and not once have I shown blind allegiance to something for the sake of stanning. Miss me with that breh. I was definitely one of the posters defending Titanfall's backlash against a lot of the Arcadium. TF had a spark when it started but...
Now it's mediocre
It's not a matter of community that made the game boring to me. IT WAS THE GAMEPLAY.
If I said, "I didn't like it cause it didn't have a lot of people to play with" that'd be fine, but the issue here has 0 to do with other people and 100% to do with the gameplay not holding my attention WHILE playing the game online with other people. Even when I hopped on a couple weeks ago, the shyt was still full of players. Still found the gameplay mediocre.
