The Wacky World of Titanfall: Waiting To Kill Godot

[Mister Chippy]

I remember saying that I would wait for Titanfall to go on sale before buying...

Then I remember it's Origin only, there will NEVER be a sale for it!

Otherwise, those initializing issues don't sound too flattering...but I wanna use a robot to hit shit!

Then play Hawken. It's what I'm doing while praying to GabeN to share his sale granting magic with EA.

So, I guess if I ever play Titanfall I'll grab the RustCohle handle and just constantly scream, "FLAT CIRCLE!!!" into the mic ...

Really? Haven't checked Origin in ages, might actually take a look.

Also, not bashing EA (although to be fair, its fairly easy to do) its just I remember Origin always being Steam without the discounts.

With Origin sales they just don't go as low as what Steam might and they aren't as frequent due to having less games. It reminds me of Steam sales when they were just starting because they didn't have access to a large library either.

My only complaint is that it feels hard to navigate the Origin store to see what is on sale or not unless you are looking for that specific game (unless its an EA game).

Except that one time when Origin was cleaned for thousands of dollars with a replicating free game promotion. That was a thing. Good times.

I like the joke concept, but it was kinda word heavy. 7/10.

I liked the second strip better than the first. The first one, though, who's the joke on there? Titanfall itself? The other webcomics about video games that Grey mentioned in that blurb on the bottom? It kind of sucks the fun out of shooting each other with giant mechsuits.

I'm guessing you're poking fun at CAD... I kinda like both, CAD's might be the default weird video game gameplay mechanic joke, but:
a) I haven't seen it in a long time seeing as many video game comics have largely stopped being about video games (*cough* PVP *cough*)
b) Punchline was genuinely funny. I mean it's the sort of joke I can imagine my mate saying if there was actually a player there making choices about who to give Titans to

Spoiler: Ctrl Alt Del comic on the subject

We still have Penny Arcade.

Uh... I know bashing EA is the cool thing and all, but EA finally got Origin on the sale train well over a year ago. If previous games like Battlefield 4 and Need For Speed: Rivals are anything to go off of you should be able to grab Titanfall for 50% off within a month or two either from Amazon or Origin itself.

Spoiler: Hell, that could have been its slogan!

One of the (few) traits of living in this lovely country (Mexico), is that EA's prices in Origin are pretty low by default, Titanfall was at $500 MXN (around $38 USD) in pre-order, I wouldn't doubt it'd go lower from there.

The comic was brilliant this week. Love it!

 

[Lhianon]

at least planetside and planetside 2 had an explaination for killing each other over and over... which, however, spawned a meme in the community by which anything strange was explained away with nanites...

Oh god it's out, I'm gonna have to scrape together what cash I can find under the couch soon. Time for my furniture to pay it's rent.

I suggest you try Kinguin.

 

[Johnny Novgorod]

I like the second strip better. Spot-on!

 

[Waaghpowa]

Titanfall would be a horribly boring game if you just got your mech instantly and played it full time. So basically last mech standing.

Yeah, it gets sales now. I finally reinstalled Origin (deleted it initially after the BF3 beta ended) a few weeks ago because there was a sale on the entire Battlefield franchise. Which ordinarily wouldn't be enough for me to buy in (heck, I had a bunch of Origin codes I hadn't bothered to redeem thanks to that Humble Bundle a while back), except my reaction was "Holy Shit, you can still buy Battlefield 2142? And it's $5 right now?" Instant buy. I had scoured the internet for the stupid game just a year or two earlier, and been unable to find anything but used hard copies on Amazon and Ebay.

If it's a homage to CAD that's to be expected.

Ahem.

Here you go. [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/132853-Titanfall-Release-Day-Deals-10-Off-in-US-29-Off-in-UK]

You're welcome.

 

[Triality]

Hey I think I get that second strip's joke! I hear Titanfall was going to have this thing called "multiplayer." What ever became of that?

 

[Cerebrawl]

Well I first caved and installed origin when I got Dead Space 3 in a Humble Bundle. Grabbed a few Origin games for good prices in Amazon's winter sale, well, Mass Effect Trilogy for $9.99 and I think it was $5 for Crysis 3.

So good sales for origin do happen... rarely... on Amazon. (I think the Humble Bundle is very much a one-off).
