Fire Emblem had been spinning its wheels for a long time before the release of Three Houses . Who could have guessed that the latest Fire Emblem game would be one of the most absorbing games of the year, with an interesting overarching story and an incredible battle system that is engaging without being watered down or too difficult to grasp. It can be hard to finish a game once, but Fire Emblem: Three Houses can easily convince players to go through it three times to see the whole story. It’s just a shame that you can’t pet the dog
However, one only needs to look to Destiny to know those two game styles have overlapping fanbases. People play Destiny for PvE strikes and raids, but they also play PvP modes such as Crucible and Gam
The road to the release of Pokémon Sword & Shield _ is a perfect example of how to anger an entire fan base of players, one lie at a time. In a sense, _Pokémon is at risk of becoming the next Madden series, which is to say released year after year for the sake of milking sales without regard to quality of content, and in many cases, helmet removal meta with almost nothing new to offer outside of an updated ros
Top Apex Legends players are making impassioned pleas for game developer Respawn to do away will skill-based matchmaking (SBMM). From their perspectives, it’s not fair that public matches feel as competitive — if not more competitive — than ranked games . This is indeed problematic, as ranked exists specifically so top players can compete at a top-tier level. Players who play public matches shouldn’t be subject to the same level of competitive p
Disco Elysium is a game where you can be a godawful human being or a superstar cop. I don't think I've had more fun this year with a game than I did stumbling around as my drunken detective, wearing a kimono and waxing poetic about liquor, karaoke, and the pointlessness of life. It's not for everyone, but if you love world-building and playing as self-loathing scumbags, then you should be playing Disco Elysium until you're face down on the fl
The biggest con with Caustic is his huge size as that gives him a massive hitbox, putting a walking target on your back. We're sure this is not an issue for INTJs, as they can most likely use this to their advantage in a bat
Should your attack fail, using a smoke bomb or artillery strike can allow you to disengage from the fight and retreat to assess what went wrong. This combined with the fact that Bangalore gets faster when under fire means that she is a hard woman to get the jump
This is more than slightly puzzling considering the Ranked Leagues mode exists for the purpose of highly competitive & skill-based play, and there's been no shortage of fan pushback since its implementat
Of course, that number is somewhat inflated, and mainly refers to the total cost of trying to acquire every single cosmetic item in the event. Rather than attempt to have a civilized discussion with its player base, Drew McCoy, the Executive Producer for the game, decided to go on a childish tirade against their players, calling them "dicks", "ass-hats", and "freeloade
Bloodhound is all about locating and tracking enemies so he can get the jump on them at the perfect time or maneuver into the ideal spot for attack. It is very difficult to get the jump on Bloodhound and he is not one you can easily escape from once he strikes. INTJs will have a wonderful time playing as this brilliant hun
Even after being nerfed, the Charge Rifle is easily one of the strongest and often abused weapons in the game right now. We don't necessarily want to leave it behind entirely, but given the way most players seem to regard it at the moment, it still clearly needs some balanc
Apex Legends was poised to immediately garner a large fanbase due to its status as a free-to-play game. Anthem , on the other hand, had a higher barrier to entry as it cost at least $60 to download and play. This alone should have led someone at the top to question whether the games would hinder one another's succ
There's been a Skullpiercer-shaped hole in the hearts of Wingman & Longbow fans since the Skullpiercer was removed from the loot rotation. Or more astutely, there are some heads lacking holes because of it. And that's a prob
The following is full of assumptions and made-up but easy-to-understand numbers. The goal is to illustrate the math driving the SMBB argument as there’s no accurate game data publicly available for these calculati
In pursuing the hop-up route, it might prove more successful than the Hammerpoints in bringing some life to the Mozambique and P2020. Players could conceivably be given the option to pick up a second Mozambique as a hop-up rather than a standalone wea
In contrast, Anthem had no fan base to start with. EA didn’t give it room to develop one. For all the criticism of Mass Effect: Andromeda , people were still talking about it. Even as a critical flop, it had little impact on people’s feelings about the franchise as a wh
