Still, when you’re a player known for playing a specific game, the choice of whether to experiment with new games doesn’t come easily. At the moment, _ Apex Legends _ has significantly more mainstream interest than the _ Battlefield _ series, which presents a much wider audience. However, a streamer who makes a big transition risks becoming a smaller fish in a bigger pond, which can lead to them losing subscribers and even endorsement de
Further, this could help balance the lobbies. The theory would be that someone who has gotten "good teammate" accolades has earned the right to not have to squad with potentially toxic teammates. It wouldn’t have to be the case every game, but the "good teammate" would overall have the benefit of playing far fewer games with potentially toxic rand
Earlier, the Off The Record skin was discussed, and that happened to be the sister skin to this one, Purple Reign. Instead of the red, black, and white color combination, Purple Reign is all about the color in its namesake. Ranging from royal hues to very pastel leaning vibrance, this skin has Loba popping off of the screen. The thigh-high boots definitely make her look like a rich mob boss in the inner city of a cyberpunk infused future. The pop of pink throughout helps the skin remain interesting, yet cohes
However, Fortnite isn't for everyone and a battle pass may not be the determining factor for playing the game. The challenges have gotten easier with every new season, so unlocking a tier 100 skin variant doesn't feel as prestigious as it once did. However, if players are looking for the most bang for their buck, Fortnite's battle pass is the route to
Warzone's battle pass offers players 100 tiers of loot progression that lasts for a limited amount of time and can be purchased for the all-too-familiar $10. While the W arzone experience is one of a kind, the battle pass leaves a lot to be desired. There are different operators available, but they aren't very unique visually, and the weapon blueprints all have that same standard Call of Duty feel, Star Wars Jedi Sequel with only a few standing out from among the rest. However, the big selling point for the Warzone battle pass is that essentially players get their money back. The pass may cost 1,000 CP, but if the entire pass is completed the player will earn 1,300
Still, while he was busy with _ Battlefield V _ , a friend of his clued him into a forthcoming game that was "really going to shake things up." The friend, who had play- tested it, was unable to say anything more without violating a strict non-disclosure agreem
Bangalore is the jack-of-all-trades, master-of-none character in Apex Legends and is the go-to for most people who prefer an experience closest to that of traditional first-person shooters. Her Sky Marshall skin in Season 5 gives her a violet hombre hairstyle which pairs perfectly with her purple pilot's jac
The lack of servers creates a vicious cycle. Publishers don't have African servers because they think there aren't enough players, but without servers, how is the player base expected to grow? The impact of this policy has had a truly detrimental effect on the African gaming community. Many games have "World" Cups or "World" Championships, and it's evident that Africa isn't part of their "World." No matter how good African players are, there's no way of getting involved in many of the sanctioned leagues without moving to another contin
Recently, I was matched with someone whose name was a play on the coronavirus. Perhaps merely evidence of a juvenile sense of humor, it hits different when 23,000 people in your city have died of the vi
In the past few weeks, I've twice watched someone back out of a game because I chose the character they wanted to play. Both times, it was because my game defaulted to the character because I didn't make a selection. In one instance, I even apologized after noticing the other player had wanted to be the character I had chosen, but the player backed out anyway. It's important to note that in Apex Legends , selection order is randomized. In both cases, my name popped up first on the selection menu, meaning I had every right to choose whichever character I wanted to play. Regardless, backing out for something so mundane is problematic because my team is forced to play the game as a squad of two up against squads of three, which makes the game much more diffic
A video recently emerged on Reddit showing exactly how toxic random players can be. A player downs two enemies only to get knocked before a teammate kills the third. The teammates then refuse to revive the downed player. To see it and know there are few consequences for these actions is frustrating, to say the le
Her ultimate ability, Black Market Boutique, creates a "death box" that draws in all the equipment in a wide range. Every player is allowed to take up to 2 items from the boutique. This ability is a great way to grab items quickly without having to search multiple buildings or death bo
