Apex Legend’s meta is interesting to me because even now it has several loadout metas and if you watch streamers you can see them using a way wider range of weapons than in Blackout. Shroud loves using the R-99, Dr Disrespect often uses the R-301, and both often go for the EVA-8 auto shottie over the Peacekeeper…

Everyone moves at the same base speed, their animations just give you the illusion that they don’t.

10/10 Definitely the best close-up weapon in the game if you don’t have a Peacemaker, EVO, R-99, RE-45, Alternator, literally any other gun, any throwables to drop at your own feet, and your right stick is broken so you can’t punch.

This is the part of gaming culture that I love.

Waiting for this game to come out is like being on the island in The Prisoner. I can’t trust anyone. Between Bioware diehards, people who seem to want to hate this game even in the face of something positive, and the terrible, then ok, then good, then bad, then...better, maybe, betas and demos, I honestly have no idea…

“now the story can be told”

I hate BRs, but I’m in love with Apex Legends - and I think the squad aspect is really what does it for me.  Wandering around solo against 99 other players?  I’m toast.  But wandering around as a group of 3 against 19 other groups of 3 has been a blast and I’ve actually managed to wind up on the winning side a few…

I don’t think it’s an age thing, I think BRs just aren’t for everyone. Counterstrike was unappealing to me for the exact same reason as Apex; run around, get your loadout set, get shot, sit around for 15 minutes (in Apex’s case, you can be revived, but still). I don’t think this sort of game would work in a non-F2P…

Yeah, it’s comments like yours that are why I’m starting to turn around on it. People seem genuinely impressed in a way that I wasn’t expecting for a “Titanfall universe” game with no Titanfall in it.

It’s refreshing that the diversity is just “there” without any pomp and circumstance around it. Plus all of the designs are pretty cool!

yeah, but the other half is super fun player mobility. Especially in titanfall 2 with the grappling hooks

It’s also probably worth mentioning that this is the first numbered/main story game in the franchise since AC6 in 2007...fans have been waiting 12 YEARS. And from everything I’ve heard it’s exactly what we’ve wanted. This is an amazing thing in the modern gaming climate—-the fact that the game exists at all, and the…

I’m currently 7 missions in and, having been an Ace Combat fan for almost my entire game-playing life, it’s exactly what I wanted from the series. Loving every second of it. Especially compared to Assault Horizon this game is incredible. It’s basically the same thing as AC4 through Zero but with all of the polish and…

This oddly makes me want a new Armored Core.

My favorite battle music is and probably will always be The Extreme from Final Fantasy VIII.

yet another display of “Yay Progressive Whites!” with the subsequent back-patting for calling out an obviously grotesque moment in American history on national television, yet doing nothing else about its historical effects on the community today.

I tend to go with the Classixx remix as background music for afternoon cocktails on the balcony.

Should really get back to DQXI.  That 2nd half is incredible (as is the post-game story) and after 22 years I finally have a JRPG I like more than Final Fantasy VI.
