EVA-8 Auto (Shotgun): Among the short-ranged weapons of Apex Legends , it’s perhaps the EVA-8 Auto that brags the best handling and accessibility. Being an automatic weapon, holding fire while using the EVA-8 releases continuous shots, giving Revenant an apparent edge when in close-range com
Respawn has done an excellent job of listening to player feedback, and while I don’t know that the changes to SBMM will be instant, I have no doubt that the team there is listening to feedback. Algorithms are extremely tough to master, especially when it comes to a software product that’s still relatively new, like Apex Legends . If I’ve had Instagram for seven years and still can’t get it to stop showing me pictures of my friends’ babies, then suffice it to say players may have to be patient while Respawn masters its SBMM mathemat
There’s so much to unpack in this series that Destiny lore expert Byf suggested focusing on a single character’s story would be a better way to explore this deep, impactful narrative. That works for us, as long the one who gets his own show is the Hunter Vanguard we lost in Forsaken , Cayde-6 (press F to pay respec
When your carefully-crafted duo team inevitably loses, there’s no blaming the random third player that was part of your team. The second that one player makes a risky move that gets them killed, the blame game beg
Bloodhound is all about locating and tracking enemies so he can get the jump on them at the perfect time or maneuver into the ideal spot for attack. It is very difficult to get the jump on Bloodhound and he is not one you can easily escape from once he strikes. INTJs will have a wonderful time playing as this brilliant hun
While I loved playing every game in my top five, I put Control at number one because of the way it grabbed my attention and held it in a way that the other four just couldn’t. It was creepy and bizarre in all the right, unique ways. I’d obviously never want to actually venture into the Oldest House for real, but Control made it a joy to explore with its unsettlingly intriguing twists and tu
There’s no game franchise more ripe for a live-action television show than The Legend of Zelda . The series has more than enough material to adapt into an episodic program as Link explores all of Hyrule. Through quests, puzzles and beautiful storytelling, it would be surreal to tune into Netflix to watch our protagonist set out to take on Ganon over several seas
Climbing buff is ridiculous: Revenant’s climbing speed gets buffed in that he can climb up to eight (8) stories tall, which is 6-times higher than the ordinary Legend. This means he can climb shorter walls much fas
Apex Legends made a powerful debut Q1 of 2019, EA opting for a bold "no marketing" tactic. Embodying the trends of 2019 by building on the popular battle royale genre, Apex Legends released on Windows, PS4, and Xbox One for free. Streamers contributed to the game’s success, but players stuck around due to the unique incorporation of ability-based heroes and a wonderfully addicting set of movement mechanics. Apex Legends Ranked guide barely edges this one out due to Respawn’s slow-moving developmental support, but the fact that competitives and casuals alike have stuck around is a testament to the game’s impressive fundament
2019 provided gamers with a ton of memorable and fun titles that will likely continue to thrive in the coming years. While we are certainly an eclectic group of writers with different tastes and #1 picks, it was Resident Evil 2 that was mentioned most in our lists, earning the title out TheGamer's Game of the Year for 2
The reality is that current SBMM format affects only negatively impacts a minority of players, even if they’re the most active ones. Unfortunately, unbalanced matchmaking will cause less-skilled players to complain the game is "too hard" and play something e
Keep Death Totems close but hidden: While Death Totem (Ultimate) is a nifty provider of a second life for Revenant’s team, that life becomes useless when the Totem is destroyed. In that regard, Revenant users should position Death Totems near areas of interest but hidden well enough that they’re not the first location enemy teams would choose when looking for t
But back then, your duo partner was limited to whoever was around. You might play with your siblings because you'd get grounded if you didn't let them join you. Or, you could find yourself playing with the smelly kid from school only because his button smashing tactics got you further than you could ever get on your
Silence (Tactical): Thanks to Revenant’s special tech, he can throw a device that acts as a weak grenade. Aside from damaging enemies, this disables all the abilities of enemies caught in the blast for a durat
Disco Elysium is a game where you can be a godawful human being or a superstar cop. I don't think I've had more fun this year with a game than I did stumbling around as my drunken detective, wearing a kimono and waxing poetic about liquor, karaoke, and the pointlessness of life. It's not for everyone, but if you love world-building and playing as self-loathing scumbags, then you should be playing Disco Elysium until you're face down on the fl
