It's a gamble to launch any two major releases within a week of each other. However, it was especially bold of EA to bring on some of Twitch 's biggest names to play Apex Legends , spending a rumored $1 million to have Ninja play on stream . In doing so, Anthem fell by the ways
Regardless, EA must accept responsibility for the fact that it failed to give Anthem the chance to find its audience. A quick glance at Twitch prior to publication of this article shows nearly 19,000 people currently watching Apex Legends . Anthem pales in comparison with a measly 37 view
In its original incarnation, Destiny wasn’t a great game. However, players stayed with it while the creators committed themselves to improving the game. The first Destiny went through a drastic transformation with The Taken King expansion. In Destiny 2 , which also had a shaky start, Bungie turned it around again with the Warmind expansion. It only got better from th
Her voices occur when someone is aiming at her, letting Wraith know when she is about to be under fire. The portal is an excellent way out for both you and your teammates, something INTPs will be very interested
That said, they haven't exactly excelled with that role in the long run. They can be useful in the very early game, as they do increase the damage done to unshielded opponents. But even with this upgrade, both the Mozambique and P2020 firmly remain the most maligned weapons in the game. Back to the drawing board with this
ISTPs are all about getting their hands dirty, inventing things, and then improving on them. One of Bangalore's strengths is her smoke bomb which allows her to engage or disengage her enemies when she wants. This means that ISTPs can allow their love of trial and error to take over and create the perfect attack p
It's possible the decision to release Apex Legends before Anthem was an intentional move to draw attention away from what EA knew would be a disastrous launch. Maybe in the weeks leading up to Anthem 's release, executives realized the game would be critically panned. After the beta period, players were quick to note how "broken" the game f
Whether as a new, paired weapon or a hop-up modification for existing weapons (with the Mozambique being a frequent suggestion), dual-wielding has been a feature players have petitioned for over a considerable length of t
Some have suggested that instead of matchmaking based on skill, lower-skilled players should grind harder and play better in order to compete with top players. First of all, not everyone has 3,000 hours a year to put into a video game. But more importantly, I'm not really sure how a person can improve when they're getting clobbered every game. After a certain point, it probably wouldn't matter anyway because the player would eventually find a different game that's more fun for t
An evolution of the characters and scenarios set up in the Titanfall series, this lore-rich battle royale features a diverse cast of characters with unique motivations and backstories. The Apex Games bring them together as they form teams of three to fight to become the Apex Champions. Their fight for glory is full of sci-fi action, spy operations, mystery and mystique. While there’s plenty to explore in Bloodhound’s dark past or the life-altering experiences that led Bangalore to join the apex legends alter Games, we’d also be happy with a sitcom exploring Mirage’s search for love... and the perfect pork chop rec
_ Apex Legends _ recently introduced a Firing Range where I can apply these tactics. Typically, I’ll spend 20-30 minutes at the start of each session exploring recoil patterns or experimenting with different sensitivities. Once I’ve tired of that, I’ll then head into games with dedication to specific weapons or weapon clas
The first chapter, "Gear Up," is about investing in the right gear. Unfortunately, it's primarily limited to a discussion of PC gaming gear. Given that I'm an Xbox girl in a PC world, I initially found it about as helpful as a Mozambique without a hop
But as of yet, any permanent additions to Apex's selection of game modes continue to elude implementation, beyond the Ranked Leagues introduced during season two. Needless to say, there are quite a few fans that would be overjoyed to see either solos or duos make the ros
Based on my Xbox data, it appears the top one percent of players still put in almost double the time of even those in the 98th percentile. Theoretically, the 98th percentile has spent half as much time in the game and would therefore still not be quite as good as the top one perc
Since a certain early December update went live, players across the board have reported a bug that deprives them of the visual throwing arc used for aiming grenade tosses. Since a single, well-placed throwable can change the entire course of a fight, it's likely needless to point out that this bug has been squarely blamed for many los
