I’m prepared to continue searching for that elusive perfect duo partner. I just want someone who likes long walks on the beach (of Geyser in World’s Edge), enjoys watching movies (as long as they're character reveal trailers) and loves to travel (as long as it's by dropsh
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
To think about it another way, the average household income sinks significantly if you take out a handful of billionaires that skew the data set. Using made-up numbers again, assume that if you include them, an "average" income across a given country is $500,000 dollars. But the vast majority of people make much less than that. Take the billionaires out, and the average income starts to look more like $50,
Revenant is able to crouch walk faster and climb higher than any other character in the cast. This makes him a silent and deadly assassin throughout a match's course. On top of his ability denying grenade and his Death totem ultimate, he also provides some essential team fight util
Planet Zoo is one of the most advanced simulation games I've ever played. While it isn't perfect, it's pretty close and is paving the way for the sim genre. There is a depth we’ve never seen in both graphics and gameplay, which allows players to feel truly connected to the world they are building. Planet Zoo will take you into your environment in a brand new way, all while raising awareness of important issues through an engaging and enjoyable g
Every fight relies heavily on getting the high ground in World’s Edge, making champions that can move a team or distract the enemy higher candidates for success. Similarly, movement through the open areas is a consideration for any team looking to survive into the last few circles. To succeed in the current season, team mobility (and a steady hand) reign supreme in Apex Legends new legend Legen
The classic remake totally revitalized our love for the game and series overall. Pretty much everything about it was well-executed... and, I mean, c'mon. The addition of the beloved Tofu Survivor should be enough to make any Game of the Year l
This is a tough problem, and unfortunately, I’m not paid enough to solve it. But I would recommend that the game consistently adjust and re-roll lobbies based on performance in the previous games played in their recent histories. So, if a strong player plays two or three games in a row alongside other players at their skill levels, they default to easier lobbies for a while regardless of their own skill levels. Us potatoes will be fine with this as long as there are occasionally some lobbies where it’s possible for us to win as well. Regardless of how it's implemented, if SBMM is in the game, it should still always feel as though a player is facing off against random lobbies in public ga
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
For decades, games have given players the opportunity to work together via two-player co-op modes. In the arcade, there was Contra and Double Dragon . Nintendo had games like River City Ransom and Streets of Rage . Sega had notable co-op duos such as Sonic and Tails and ToeJam and Ea
Respawn has done an excellent job of listening to player feedback, and while I don’t know that the changes to SBMM will be instant, I have no doubt that the team there is listening to feedback. Algorithms are extremely tough to master, especially when it comes to a software product that’s still relatively new, like Apex Legends . If I’ve had Instagram for seven years and still can’t get it to stop showing me pictures of my friends’ babies, then suffice it to say players may have to be patient while Respawn masters its SBMM mathemat
This climbing ability allows Revenant the ability to attack enemy squads in unpredictable manners. He can approach an enemy team from a seemingly safe position and combined with his silent but rapid crouch speed makes a new character a silent and deadly foe. The combination of these two abilities makes Revenant a deadly combination of a silent assassin and a versatile mobility character. Making hiding from the killer a near impossibil
Released on the King’s Canyon Map, Octane is a super mobile champion that can get in and out of fights easily. The bulk of play on World’s Edge is either in wide-open areas or in densely built hotspots around the map. With this in mind, octane is a fine choice for traversing great distances, but his speed and ultimate jump pad don't do much in the way of turning the tide of a fi
