I think it has more emotional oomph in light of the game introducing you to the possibility of removing a Titan&#39;s data core and installing it in another chassis. Obvious set-up for &#34;okay but he actually survived&#34; and NOPE, expectation subverted!<br/><br/>I also liked Cooper&#39;s last dialogue about his ambivalence about being assigned to a new Titan. It&#39;s good un-resolution 2024-08-29T05:39:19Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqswm55yz5thakzkakuw4uk2ha50djyva7tm5d9nasukvq8eazvz2yczyzxq9khxt4g705jt5ynr3mssn8q3hy4agytxh0flekjlmc086cgt5945k78 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsvrj9ge5hq7rw76sg339zwgf6awegqds2askqlc7r877gr9kwd0tc556ngt'>nevent1q…6ngt</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Had no idea that was Matt Mercer voicing Cooper.

It&#39;s just what it needs to be to move the game forward.<br/><br/>I understand the gushing about the gameplay loop, though. I didn&#39;t mind myself doing a *ton* of sophisticated movment during firefights, but slides and the occasional wallrun definitely changed things up. Maybe I would have done more of it on Easy. 2024-08-29T05:36:20Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsydmc3ry54msg9x3v5rrs66fxakp8ekqgxtenghadq64dkw8m5yqqzyzxq9khxt4g705jt5ynr3mssn8q3hy4agytxh0flekjlmc086cgt5gjtxck In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqswnyxcpqjwfu0uk8fmrf58tn7584y62zu8ttmvs9uv7684kq8lgsclwyztu'>nevent1q…yztu</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I also think the slang &#34;fastball&#34; for when a Titan throws a human is funny.
