Apex Legends' Fall: Respawn's Fault Or EA's Bad Practices?

Apex Legends' Fall: Respawn's Fault Or EA's Bad Practices?

Like his name implies, Gibraltar seems like a rock-solid partner. He’s there to protect and defend. He’s also extremely friendly and personable, with his buddies’ and his boy-toys’ best interests at he

The game differed from other Battle Royale titles in that players were grouped into squads of three, with diverse classes that demand strategy and careful consideration of playstyle, and weapons that were far more accurate than in other games. As a free-to-play game, Apex Legends looked as though it would skyrocket to the top and remain th

image.php?image=b17maartent1403.jpg&dl=1Very rarely can people create a character who's as unattractive as Caustic is and still manage to have him be super cool looking. The world of Apex Legends is filled with robots, voidwalkers, and soldiers, so how does a scientist focusing on gasses man

Wraith’s the type of person I’d kiss when the mood is exactly right. We’re drinking hot toddies, enjoying a romantic evening of discussing the latest Area 51 conspiracy theories when I decide to plant one on

My parents weren’t fans of the boyfriend who was an active member of the Church of Flying Spaghetti Monster. So they’re definitely not going to like the one who claims she communicates with voices from other dimensi

One of the problems with competing against Fortnite is that players expect similar value for their consumer dollar. While the game is free-to-play, many players spend on cosmetic items to support the develo

Players have a very short window of opportunity to reach the rescue ship once it gets to the landing zone. The longer a player waits, ps5Gamers.com the more likely there are to be Shadow Legends circling the zone. Get there as quickly as possible for the best chance of surviv

Jack Taggart Sr. would make a great survivor with perks that involve harassing/distracting the Killer. The Killer would be the terrifying Creeper who would apply the Madness effect and have abilities that help him track down the Survivors. It would also be cool if he had a speed bonus kick in every 23 seco

Set in the lonely snow covered mountains or the depths of the mines Until Dawn would be a fun DLC for fans of the game. Having either Sam, Mike or possibly even Josh as survivors would make them feel right at home with the rest of the survivors already in the ros

There’s a reason players call her "Wifeline." Ajay Che is sarcastic and tough, but she’s also a compassionate and caring person. Her choice to be a medic proves she has a good heart. Pair that with a unique sense of style and her musical talents and she’s a total ca

Recently, EA set the morality bar lower than we ever expected when Kerry Hopkins, VP of EA’s legal and government affairs, defended the use of loot boxes to the UK Parliament’s Digital, Culture, Media, and Sports Committee. Hopkins stated that "it’s like many other products that people enjoy in a healthy way, and like the element of surpri

This means that if someone wants all the items, they’ll need to pay about $154. If a player only wants one specific skin, the only way to acquire it is to purchase one pack at a time and hope for the b

Admittedly introducing Alien characters and settings would be a stretch to Dead By Daylight’s tone, but go with it for a minute. Having the setting in the crumbling prison from Alien 3 with opening and closing doors would be awes

Shantel VanSanten is the woman responsible for giving Wraith a voice. VanSanten most recently has appeared as a recurring character in Amazon's hit superhero series The Boys and also had a role on the CW series The Fla

I’d make out with Mirage at a bar after a few drinks. I’d probably initiate the kiss because I find him attractive but I'd also want him to stop talking. And, while there’s a piece of me that believes we’d exchange numbers and never talk to each other again, it's more likely that he’d call incessantly, become borderline obsessive and then blow up at me on Twitter after I told him I wasn’t interested in anything seri

As you would expect for someone who was experimented on at length and came out the other side with extremely powerful abilities, Wraith has almost zero memories about her life before she entered experimentation. Since she doesn't remember anything from her childhood it's hard for people who enjoy the character to know anything about her. Luckily the new animated short provided additional information, and maybe Respawn Entertainment will do even more for her in the fut

Apex Legends began with great promise, but its overall disregard for its consumer base started with bland cosmetic rewards and is currently represented by manipulative loot box mechanics. The progression tends to make one imagine their primary concern is getting as much money from their players as possible, rather than providing a quality experience and earning revenue through grateful play

It’s a lot of fun to move quickly, but that doesn’t mean high-speed movement is always the best idea. For instance, increased movement speed also means these characters slide faster, so it’s possible to slide right by a Legend target when attempting to melee them at full sp
