Infinity Ward shook the world forever with its release of Call of Duty back in 2003. They did it again with their modern rendition aptly named Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare in 2007. Respawn , composed of many of the developers from Infinity Ward all of those years ago, has created yet another phenomenal campaign in Titanfall
But what’s interesting is how Apex Legends is able to present itself as both a character showcase and a plot-driven narrative, using the battle royale concept as the story framework. Keep in mind how impressive this is in an era where some question whether games should bother to include narrative at
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
Perhaps surprisingly, applying all this advice made a positive impact on my gameplay. While _ Apex Legends _ ’ new map and changes to skill-based matchmaking may have also contributed to these improvements, I noticed the changes started happening around the time I started using these strateg
While I loved playing every game in my top five, I put Control at number one because of the way it grabbed my attention and held it in a way that the other four just couldn’t. It was creepy and bizarre in all the right, unique ways. I’d obviously never want to actually venture into the Oldest House for real, but Control made it a joy to explore with its unsettlingly intriguing twists and tu
Wraith's abilities allow her to both hear more clearly when enemies are approaching her while also giving her a powerful evasive option. Her ability to "enter the void" provides a powerful evasive maneuver and a functional flanking option. Combine with her portal erecting ultimate and you have arguably the best flanker in the ros
It dawned on me only recently that the two characters with which I have the most wins — Lifeline and Wattson — are upbeat, helpful characters. Though unconscious, my choice to play these characters seems to be a reflection of how I see myself. Regardless of whether this is true for every Apex Legends player, it reinforces the value of developing characters that represent diverse backgrounds and worldvi
In film and television, a certain class of films and shows qualify as character studies, in which the characters themselves are more important than the overall plot. Certainly, American Psycho isn’t much of a story without Patrick Bateman at the h
_ 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
Pathfinder is the one throwing this shindig so he’s all decked out in a classic outfit befitting of a upper class 19 th century gentleman. Although this does raise the question of how he was able to grow a moustache, metallic facial hair is probably low on the list of insane things in Apex’s unive
How could it be anything other than Slay The Spire (I say, knowing full well I almost put Tetris 99 in this spot)? After initial frustration, Slay The Spire's various baddies are like old friends now - they're familiar, I've learned their rhythms. The cards and relics aren't mysteries to me anymore. Its delightful weirdness is old hat. And yet I find myself returning to it time and time again because it's just so clever, and it makes me feel clever - when I pay attention to it, when I'm not zoning out and https://Apexherozone.com/posts/apex-legends-january-2025-update-fixes-Critical-bugs-lunar-event-looms just enjoying the jour
DUMMIEs Big Day (January 26-27): Nobody seems to know what this mode is all about. If we had to take a guess, judging by the fact that everyone seems to look like a brightly colored crash test dummy, it’s likely that this mode makes it so you can’t see which characters the other teams have chosen. It’s either that, or it may be the first mode that involves A.I.-controlled bots for players to shoot freely. Guess we’ll find out when the mode goes live on the 26
Infantry combat was fast and visceral, while vehicular gameplay required teamwork to truly succeed. A well-coordinated squad could sway an entire match in their favor. Nothing can match flying through a crumbling building in a helicopter to pick up squad members while rockets glance by. This is one of the best games DICE has ever m
After reading this chapter, I changed a bunch of in-game settings. I reduced my controller sensitivity from 3 to 2. I also changed my field of view from 110 to 70. Ultimately, my aim became more accurate, even if my actual movements were slower and weir
