Last week I had the (dis)pleasure of being available for the midnight release of Titanfall on PC (via EA's Origin). Now I know what you're thinking: "But Latency! You told us you weren't going to be caught dead anywhere near that bug-ridden, server-crashing, lag-inducing piece of filth for the first week!" Well, you'd be right except that money talks, and so when Tsaikotyk threw $80 at my PayPal and told me to go pre-order the digital deluxe edition, who was I to argue?
I probably should have though, because the launch was about everything I expected. I spent roughly five hours in the game client and about one and a half actually playing. The developers publicly acknowledged on launch night that there was a 'glitch' that caused the game to 'initialize' when searching for a server connection. This didn't mean anything except that the client was now stuck diddling itself and didn't care much for connecting you. Fucking called it.
