If Tinder’s not working out, there’s OKCupid, JDate, Farmers Only or whatever niche site is hot right now. To find a duo partner, on the other hand, a person is limited to a smattering of random Discords and game-specific sites. Initially, you know very little about the person you could be squadding up with. Maybe they’re cool and your relationship will morph into something special. But also, maybe they’ll rage and break their computer the first time they l
He impresses the importance of strategy and communication, including how to deal with teammates in high-pressure, heated moments. In those cases, Ninja suggests listening carefully to your teammates and learning from their perspectives as well. He does NOT suggest raging at them for blocking the door while you were trying to escape an enemy — not that I know anything about t
Despite speculation that Electronic Arts would shut down game studio BioWare after back-to-back flops Mass Effect: Andromeda and Anthem , Kotaku’s Jason Schreier recently published an article claiming the beloved studio is alive and kicking . The game company is working on an overhaul of Anthem , he says, which it may call Anthem 2.0 or Anthem N
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
It's reasonable to imagine those 10 players spend much more time playing Apex Legends than others. To give you an idea of how this might shape out, it's worth noting that out of my 100 Xbox friends who play Apex Legends the most, one has played more than 3,050 hours. He's the game's overall 20th ranked player based on player level ( as calculated prior to the changes made in the game's most recent update ), according to TRN's Apex Legends Tracker . The friend with the second-most time in the game mechanics patents is also a strong player but has logged only 1700 ho
These thematic Battle Pass skins are intriguing as they play into the Jekyll-and-Hyde aspect of the trailer. Skins sometimes connote a nod to the game's lore, such as the Wraith Voidwalker skin. While it may be a stretch, it's possible that the two-faced theme may end up with Lifeline, Wraith and Wattson usurped by darkn
Throughout the commercial, scenes flicker, projecting the aura that things aren’t as safe and secure as Hammond would like you to believe. Superimposed images show a very different Capitol City, which is split into two sections with lava flowing through
Crypto is the newest addition to the champion roster on Apex Legends . His drone is great for gathering intel, and he can even leave it in the sky to track enemy teams while he is fighting. The EMP that he can offer currently knocks out half of any enemy shields in the area of eff
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
When it comes to squads of three or more, a team can still perform well if one player makes a mistake or simply isn’t as good as the others. Further, teammates can work with one another to diffuse tension when it arises. While teammates aren’t always perfect, the team dynamic does a great service in helping to hide these individual fl
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
Hardly ever does a lifeline drop her healing drone and while her shield during revives is great in a pinch, it is also a beacon for enemies that are looking to clean up and move. Her greatest asset is the speed she gets when using heals or reviving, so long as she is using it to keep the team going rather than rushing into the fray with a peacekee
The majority of people complaining about SBMM seem to be in the top echelon of players. Their complaints are valid. But it’s important to look at this as a mathematical challenge. The reality is that without SBMM, even middle-of-the-road casual players have an extremely high chance of being consistently matched with top players against whom they don't stand a cha
I have a lot of respect for Ninja. The man, alongside his wife, Jessica, built an a multinational empire by playing video games. I, on the other hand, spend most of my days in my pajamas, tweeting jokes and Photoshopping bad Apex Legends me
There's then a whisper that leads into a song. "Jekyll-and-Hyde-ing me," the raspy voice says as the trailer continues before the beat picks up. The song itself is a metaphor for a number of things in the trailer, not least of which is Revenant hims
But with duos, it’s just you and your partner. This means there are a lot of requirements for becoming one half of a solid duo. Suffice it to say, it's not enough to like your duo partner as a person. The two players also have to actually like one another. They must be able to communicate through heated moments for hours on end without annoying or upsetting the ot
