I’ve never heard a more apt description. I’ve always thought of it as Minecraft for quake/UT fans or the more accessible, less quiet moment having Battle Royale game but watching how my kids use it to play custom games with their friends, it totally is that.

i get that this service/appointment gaming stuff exists to satiate that player that just wants to play their game all the time but when you’re someone like me who likes to play a bunch of different games, it’s overwhelming and you can quickly grow to feel like you’re missing out. The big thing is that I need to…

just imagine the smell in that room of anyone who would sign up for watching all these movies back to back. Then add 2 and half more days of farts, energy drink belches and not taking a shower on top of it.

at least the bright side is that thanks to 3d printersr, there’s a huge cottage industry of after market controller parts on amazon for relatively cheap, i had to replace a trigger and spring on my ps4 controller a few months back and 3-4 bucks got me like 5 sets of l2 and r2 triggers.

essentially people are using the older style aspect ratio resolution settings or setting custom resolutions in order to trick the computer into thinking it’s displaying on a monitor that size, the result is them getting a wider vertical field of view which allows them to keep better tabs on players that are above or…

for people trying to visualize why anyone would run a 4:3 res on a 16:9 display, this image sums it up pretty well, they’re trying to account for the vertical space that’s important in building.

every single borderlands game has been built on unreal engine so this isn’t a big shocker but the thing i’m more interested in is that while this looks and sounds like more borderlands from the trailers they’ve put out, what have they learned from other loot games since borderlands 2 and TPS?  Also what framerate are…

You can absolutely play most of the game by yourself and have a great time provided that you enjoy a challenging cover shooter. When playing solo, it feels like gears of war on a harder difficulty. The experience may feel easier or harder at times depending on your gear situation and because it’s an open world game…

There are some ridiculously dark areas in this game where a flashlight would both be super useful and look awesome visually.  This game is giving me flashbacks to doom 3’s duct tape mod.

when i think of Anthony Burch writing BL2,

“Oh, my can!”

Obligatory

yeah i had a similar situation the other day where i was in a 2v2 with a teammate and he got knocked and lost my shield and had half health during the first exchange of fire so i stepped back to heal before trying to shoot again because if i died, we’d be out of the match and the guy berated me for not rushing to…

toxic players have moved onto fortnite and apex

one of the things i’ve enjoyed the most about this game is that it’s not afraid to mess with you to keep you on your guard. I was playing a side mission earlier and many of the side missions could get boiled down to enter combat arena, kill all dudes, press button to activate next objective, etc. This time i pressed a…

Omg I thought I was going crazy. As soon as I popped my turret it would disappear. I was like “is this thing made of tissue paper?” It has been better this morning.

agree, the one exception for me being: if the “space bucks” you bought to get the battle pass can be recouped for the next battle pass via completing the current battle pass or better yet, you get that currency back plus additional. In that case, i no longer care. I haven’t paid real money for a Fortnite Battle Pass…

just be glad that this panel isn’t rounded out by Trashcan Lannister or any of the other Fox evening personalities who will be happy to tell you what opinions you can form while being an upper middle class white person in america.

agree the ability for people to take cover and rapidly heal does create an interesting balance issue

i hated the gunplay in apex until i learned the spread and recoil patterns of the weapons and recognized the brilliance of their ballistics model particularly with regard to sniper weapons. Someone took the time to program the mils (little lines on the scope used for bullet drop) to expand and shrink depending on your…
