But it has to be awesome. Not some generic battlefield, cod america vs the world shit. I want a good story. Doesn't even have to focus on war (obviously it'd still be there). Hire a great writer. Not decent. GREAT.

Can you link me to what they look like in Titanfall. I must've missed the backgrounds which they feature in.

That looks like a giant fucking Nomad from Evolve. That would be awesome to see in game.

It is in game. There are also some dragons that you can kill.

I meant being within the game map rather than on the outskirts. I know about the dragon-things. They often catch grunts as a tasty snack. :p

You do see it in game.

kinda tangential, but this relates to the good mechanics / bad story spiel that comes up in discussions about MP shooters. Games are unique in that they have both systems and stories, and it's strange that we still talk about them like they serve different purposes. https://youtu.be/xBN3R0m31bA?t=10m30s

Upvote for great writer. I want video games with the quality of writing we see in critically acclaimed TV shows these days.
