Fall damage makes logical sense. After all, it's possible to suffer an intense sprain or broken bone from something as simple as tripping on the sidewalk. Gravity can be one of reality's greatest villains. So when a game is aiming to be as realistic and authentic as possible, having severe, painful consequences for a high fall is a perfectly reasonable design cho

It's fine when games aim for realism, but that should never come at the expense of having fun. As rational as the concept of fall damage is, it never translates to anything meaningful in a gaming experience. Even FromSoftware - the master of having your character die as a result of irritating fall damage - eventually saw the error of its ways and made Sekiro, a game where you jump around like a samurai sword-wielding Ma

Titanfall walked as a franchise so Apex Legends could run and six seasons in, it feels like it's in a really good place. It's hard to keep up with live service games that are constantly updating, but hopefully, this list can help you figure out which guns to use in Season 6 of Apex Legen

PUBG console patch 9.1 adds frame rate priority mode to PS4 Pro and Xbox One X, allowing players on the more powerful systems to get up to 60fps gameplay. The screen resolution for the new mode will be limited to 10

Elsewhere, the patch introduced a new Ranked mode for solo players, meaning you can now climb the rankings on your own. It's a good time to start, too, since this marks the beginning of Season 9 and ranks have been reset along with leaderboards. Here are the new rules for Ranked Mode Seaso

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

Update 9.1 also adds the new map, Paramo, which features an active volcano and flowing lava across the landscape. It's also partly procedurally generated, so the new PUBG map feels different every time you play. However, because of the ever-shifting nature of the map, it's located in a separate matchmaking pool called Seasonal Match. Wins here will not count towards your sta

Fall damage is often added as an extra obstacle for you to worry about, but it's never an engaging part of any game. At best, your stumble will cost you a small portion of your life bar forcing you to soldier on with what health you have left or waste one of your healing items. At worst, the damage will kill you, causing you to swear at your TV out of frustration and wait for the annoying loading screen to finish so you can painfully make your way back to where you were. No matter what it does, it adds nothing but a moment of irritation that delays your progress. In short, it makes a fun game less

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

The randomly-generated level layout means players will never experience the same game twice, adding to the title's replayability. To make things even better, players could tackle the game in co-op, allowing them to escape death with their friends time and time ag

At this point, the Kraber sniper rifle has become a legendary mythical entity among the Apex Legends community . This .50-caliber sniper rifle is a disgustingly powerful tool for destruction and it's hard to say who feels worse, the person using it or the individual they eliminated with a single headshot. The Kraber can hit multiple targets with a single shot as the bullets travel click through the up coming post legends even if they get knocked down. Be careful with your shots as 12 selective uses could result in literally making every bullet co

Now when I say fall damage I'm not talking about falling into an endless pit. That's been a staple of gaming since the days of Super Mario Bros . While I don't necessarily enjoy that either, I understand that's it's there because most game designers don't want to recreate an entire planet's surface. Sometimes it's easier to put in a dark, foggy pit and leave its deadliness up to your imaginat

Plus, the character designs across the board are very good. There's no titty armor or weeaboo nonsense – every character’s outfit and physical appearance fits their role, has good glance value, follows the classic silhouette test rule , and has a cohesiveness to it that fits in the context of the universe. It’s a game that draws you into its world based on the way the characters look, instead of yanking you out of it. That’s a hard thing to accomplish, especially when it comes to a PVP free-to-play game. It takes a lot of extra effort to not just try and appeal to the lowest common denominator like certain other games that are MOBAs made by Riot Games or shooters made by Hi-Res. A
