Why Games Need To Remove Fall Damage Once And For All

Although sword-fighting titles have made up a bulk of the third-person genre , with The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Dark Souls 3, and Monster Hunter: World leading the way, shooters have also carved themselves a spot in the popular genre of gam

Apex Legends was applauded for the innovation of its easy to use "ping" system, which other games have begun to copy. This allows players to easily share information with the press of a button, even if they don’t have micropho

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

Other changes include the ability to remap keys to your controller and changes in bot ratios. Instead of quickly filling the match with bots, each session will now wait up to five minutes to try and fill to 100 players before making up any shortfall with b

As Detective Cole Phelps, players investigate a series of criminal cases spread across different departments. The game's innovative facial animation technology brings the characters to life, making interrogations and investigations more immersive than ever... even if some people can look positively goofy at ti

Just because you aren’t running and gunning doesn’t mean that enemy squads won't be getting picked off. The most efficient use of your resources is to wait for enemy teams to engage each other and then surprise the damaged surviv

Season 6 saw the introduction of the new Legend named Rampart, but just how powerful is she? Keeping a multiplayer game fresh is important and the best way to do that is to shake up which characters are the most powerful in any given Season 12 Apex. It's time to look at who has risen to the top in Season 6 of Apex Legen

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

Players control Marcus Holloway, a member of the hacktivist group DedSec, as they take down corrupt corporations, greedy millionaires, crime syndicates, and everything in between. With a focus on hacking and stealth, Watch Dogs 2 offers hours of exciting gameplay as players explore a rich and vibrant open wo

Lifeline is still to this day arguably the best support Legend in all of Apex Legends , and her recent buffs only add to that case. She can now dual-revive via a new mechanic, which in the right hands can swing entire team fights if done accordingly. Lifeline can now also grab tons of extra loot as 20% of all supply bins will be blue. She's fallen out of popularity simply because healing supports are never the most interesting or entertaining, but she still has a case for herself and thankfully hasn't been nerfed into obscur

Gears of War: Ultimate Edition was released in 2015 on Xbox One before coming to PC the following year. The game is a remastered version of the original Gears of War, with updated visuals and new multiplayer mo

However, Apex's cast isn’t just head-and-shoulders above its competitors. Instead, it goes for the jugular of a personal favorite: Overwatch. The comparisons are impossible to not see. Chatter that dumps lore, signature voice lines, a MOBA-lite class system… the list goes on. But the thing is that not only is Apex clearly influenced by Overwatch, it's hellbent on improving on it. Every person on the design team of Apex went above and beyond the call of duty to deliver a game with characters that are, on both a conceptual and aesthetic level, more interesting than anything Blizzard could come up w

Once you’ve started to accumulate a few guns, it can be worth it to get a pair of weapons that complement each other – one for close up work and one for range. The maps often have variable terrain and no one tactic or weapon will work in all situati

Caustic fills a niche in Apex Legends that few of his counterparts can claim or accomplish. Whether you feel his gas canisters are easily avoidable or annoying death traps, everyone agrees that his zoning potential is almost unmatched. Smart Caustic mains can set up camp in specific areas and can cut off retreat points or flanking opportunities. If the circle ever happens to end in a confined area, Caustic is ready and willing to thrive in the gas, even at the cost of his friends and teamma
