Apex Legends Is Out, So Let's Play Some Of That

Titanwhat?

The map is TOO BIG, theres too much running around in empty spaces, people just trying to find others to shoot. It either needs more players or a smaller map. Most of the rounds I played ended up just getting shot from some random place after 15 minutes of the squad running around searching for people to kill.

You're not alone in that thought. The only way for skins to look real noticeable and stand out, which therefore increases the potential of pure profit (specially to kids), is to make skins that really stand out and pop. So logically the ones that pop the most are "wacky", "crazy", or "cartoon-ish". Same goes for any special animation (gesture, dance, or emote). It's the only thing that really sells any more.

I want to like this game more than I do, but the rigid tiered weapon damage and random nature of the loot really puts me off. The TTK is extremely inconsistent depending on what kind of loot you've got, and if you get unlucky enough to go up against someone with purple armour when all you have is a light pistol or smg it's going to take you literally 20 shots to take someone down. It even takes 4 melee attacks to knock an unarmoured target.

Fair enough that loot is part of the game, but it just doesn't feel good to get worked over by someone you got the drop on because they had better gear than you.

man this just makes me wish titanfall 2 pc wasnt dead

I honestly thought that I was pretty much done with BR games, but this one might've hooked me back in. Pretty solid all around and I love the smart additions that it brings to the table. Good stuff!

@seemah: as someone who hasn't played a single round of any BR game it was pretty straightforward to get into. You start to get to terms with the rhythm of combat and when to move towards the safe zone and when to extend for loot. The UI and sound design is concise so it's easy to keep track of stuff.

The shooting is probably what I have the most trouble with but I'll chalk it to not being used to the game's guns. I don't think there's damage dropoff over distance but the gun accuracy drops remarkably unless you're using a sniper.

Wow, this game came out of nowhere.

Well... the game was just announced and released on Monday...

Personally I have no interest in this or other Royales. And this looks less unique and with less soul than the others. As for playing it.

BUT.

Quite entertaining to watch you guys play this. The lack of teamwork, Brad's (over) confidence, Jeff's wish to play solo, Ben's trolling in combination with the game being new.

Wouln't mind seeing more of this, and perhaps East VS West.

Looks like a good permutation on the formula, but I still can't fathom the appeal of watching people play these games. So much sitting around.

There's not sitting around in this game, much smaller map. Having a ton of fun playing it so far too.

This might be the best free-to-play Battle Royal game yet. At least it seems to be the one I can finally get into and enjoy. I like the sports like presentation and the team based squads. Need more characters though.

@mvhvtmv: The game just came out, and I'm hopeful that with all the people playing it they'll get data to make several passes at weapons/items/abilities.

@spencero: I've played a decent amount now, and I'm liking it quite a bit more, but it still has a weird feel to it. It always feels like I'm either instantly liquefying people, or hardly even scratching them, and I'm never sure which one it's going to be until after I pull the trigger.

Lets all support EA by playing this, the company that killed Mass Effect.

Dang I wish there were a way to play on PC against non mouse people.

Seriously guys does this game bring anything new to the table? I've never really got into any of these types of battle royal style games. Just my preference. So like I was asking since I truly do not know, does this game have anything specifically that hasn't already been seen elsewhere? If so what are they? I can definitely see tons of similarities to pubg,fortnite,destiny,COD blackout and even a smidge of Borderlands .What am I missing? Everyone seems to be in love with this game. Like I said I don't usually play this type of game. So please let me know what makes this different. It's obviously got lots of new ideas and gameplay or no one would be raving about it like this. Thanks.
