Here’s the thing though: reality is stupid. While it’s certainly true to life that a mistimed fall will lead to injury and perhaps death, that doesn’t mean it’s fun. Fall damage has never been enjoyable and always hinders how you can play a game. So it’s time for game developers to thumb their nose at Isaac Newton and eliminate fall damage once and for
Although video gaming streaming platforms have been around for nearly a decade, the battle royale genre has brought a large number of viewers to the streaming sites. This is because the battle royale genre is as fun to watch as it is to play. While many other first-person-shooters give players endless lives until a certain score limit is reached, the idea that the player only has one chance to win raises the stakes and makes watching more exciting. Since battle royales became popular, some Twitch streamers have become as recognizable as high profile celebrit
While many companies had shied away from this business practice, Epic Games showed that free-to-play can be a viable and lucrative option for console and PC game developers. While players interested in trying out Fornite do not have to pay anything upfront, Epic Games has made over $2 billion in cosmetic microtransactions. Since the game’s launch in 2017, many of the big publishing companies, like EA and Activision, have released free-to-play battle roya
Then you have Bloodhound, the non-binary espionage expert. It’s a cool way to put a non-binary character in a AAA game, I feel, because whatever perceived «gendered» physical characteristics they might have are obscured by a gas mask and bulky clothing. Their appearance is calculated very deliberately to be genderless and ambiguous, which is a great artistic choice. Oh, and let’s talk for a second about Gibralter. Here’s this goofy and sweet beefcake who’s gay and doesn’t have some sort of sad backstory about it. He’s not cuckolded and sad like Soldier 76, whose story echoes literally every Hollywood movie ever written about gay men that’s not called Moonlight, or if he is, we don’t know about it. That’s rad as h
The Training Mode in both games is also slightly different. PUBG Mobile has Training Camp, while PUBG has Camp Jackal. Camp Jackal is significantly larger than Training Camp, meaning practicing long rang battles and driving cars will be much easier on PUBG . However, players can still use Training Camp to practice their mobile aim and driving ski
His drone can now revive teammates at beacons which is incredible and lets players get their team back in the game at a much lower risk. He can also scan survey beacons instantaneously, which now reveal the location of the next ring in the ma
To me, where Apex Legends truly succeeds is in its strength of character. That is to say, its diverse and robust cast of eclectic player-characters are unlike anything else in the genre. Fortnite‘s characters are colorful in the same way that ’80s cartoon characters are, but they lack personality or depth. Meanwhile, PUBG’s got some military gear and overpriced Suicide Squad costumes that look like they’re from Party City’s bargain bin. Warzone? More like snore zone. Against this limp competition, Season 12 Apex has the edge by defa
PUBG Mobile also lacks in the interior design aspect. There is little-to-no design inside houses, and a simple rug and shelf seems to be the only thing that decorates most interiors. Meanwhile, PUBG is much more detailed, with lots of additional decoration located around the walls and in the rooms. PUBG even adds extra small rooms like bathrooms or closet to fill empty space, whereas PUBG Mobile just leaves these spots o
How is this accomplished? For starters, it’s important to understand why I think Overwatch’s roster is, by and large, not very well thought-out. And before you post this on some forum and find my Twitter and get all pissy because I hurt your feelings about a game you had no hand in creating, I should really repeat that I used to love Overwatch and have fanart and figures from it all over my home. However, Blizzard has proven over the course of several years that they’re firmly stuck in the lane of pandering to anime fans and horny teens. Oh, and the meta’s awful. There’s also t
Whether you’re roleplaying as a super soldier, heroic knight, or even a cartoon bear, it can be deflating and embarrassing to see your protagonist crumble to the ground in a heap from a fall. Do you mean to tell me that this burly, super-powered character who’s supposed to save the entire world can’t handle a crash landing? Sounds like a wimp to
I digress. First, let’s talk about the female characters – practically all of them look the goddamn same. Outliers like Mei and Zarya notwithstanding, almost every single female character, regardless of nationality, ethnicity, or occupation, are identical in both facial characteristics and body type. A gruff military woman hailing from Egypt has the same ass and bust and weight of an introverted teenage hacker from Mexico, a socially awkward Indian mathematician, a dumb white cowgirl, a Swedish welder, a German doctor, a professional gamer from Korea, a French sniper, a white whatever-the-fuck Tracer is, et cet
