    Worth $10 for a fun brainless romp.

    $10 for a MP via internet only (aka No LAN, No SP) is still too much for a game where they can (and will) pull the plug on its use!

    but thanks for sharing :)

    I dunno. You can easily pay $10 for 2 hour movie... You'll at least get that amount of entertainment, I'd say at least 10-15 hours. /shrug/

    nah, I'll just have 10-15 hours of the kiddies jumping all over the place like Halo & Crysis 3, while I wonder why I bought another game like it (at least Halo and C3 had a SP campaign). I like the mechs, if it even had a 4 hour SP, I'd scoop for $10, but being MP only, just spending money to frustrate myself ;).

    Let me know when they pay you 10 bucks to use Origin, and I'll consider it.

    After (mistakenly) buying BF4, I don't think I'd want to buy another multiplayer-only FPS again.

    But yeah, for those interested, $10 isn't a bad price imo.

    Try Insurgency. I bought it couple of days ago and already sunk 10h into coop. One of the best coops I've played since SWAT4 and Portal 2.

    Having exclusively online MP really sucks for a number of reasons. It's a shame they did this to Titanfall, but without an offline single-player campaign its price should be no more than free. I enjoyed tinkering with the Titanfall beta, but I haven't purchased or played even once it since the beta ended. Man, I feel bad for console jockeys having to buy something and then pay another $9.99 more each month to play it. That would really suck.

    I'm playing the Evolve beta now and basically same thing. Great game, but will likely never be willing to pay a dime for it due to the lack of offline single player mode.

    Oh well... easy come, easy go.
