He offers suggestions on how to act on stream, which essentially amounts to a heightened version of oneself: "Smile a little bigger, be a little louder, wave your arms a little wider." He highlights building a community, something I’ve inadvertently been doing anyway through my obsession with this g


What can I say? I'm a sucker for Pokemon . The jump to the Switch wasn't without its faults, yet I found myself enjoying every second of my time with the game. The Wild Area brings thrilling new content to the Galar region, the dialog is witty/corny, and the battles strike the sweet spot of being too easy and aggravatingly difficult. Many games might be more technically advanced, or tell a better story, but there isn't a game this year I enjoyed more than the latest Pokemon advent


Destruction. Battlefield Bad Company 2 boasts some of the best destructible environments that any game has seen to this very day. Critical buildings can be reduced to ashes if repeatedly hit with explosives. Light cover can be blown away with repeated small arms fire. This game allowed for so much replayability in its multiplayer, also boasting a rather lighthearted campaign most fans enjo


Octane has a steampunk inspired skin full of gears, pocket watches, and a big ol’ honking Flavor Flav clock on his chest. His helmet is also reminiscent of The Rocketeer , which makes us want to go watch that movie


_ Apex Legends _ recently introduced a Firing Range where I can apply these tactics. Typically, I’ll spend 20-30 minutes at the start of each session exploring recoil patterns or experimenting with different sensitivities. Once I’ve tired of that, I’ll then head into games with dedication to specific weapons or weapon clas


In each of these games, players' characters enter the game on decidedly equal footing, making it a static test of pure skill in a PvP environment. At the time, this could have been considered a hallmark of a battle royale g


This would usually result in disaster in the hands of a novice developer, but Bioware is anything but a novice developer. They turned the exploration heavy original and tweaked it into a dramatic thriller, filled with some of the best character and world-building the video game industry has ever seen. Reworked combat helps make ME 2 feel more visceral than the original Mass Effect . This game is a must-p


It’s worth reading the entire thread. However, to offer a quick summary: Early in the game's development, he was unsure of his purpose as a writer in a battle royale game. Up until then, the battle royales had deemphasized the role of story. He feared this meant he may soon no longer have a job. Still, while he waited for more information, he found himself crafting lore involving the Titanfall universe. He was no stranger to this universe — he'd had a hand in creating as a writer on Titanfall and Titanfall 2 . Eventually, his Respawn coworkers approached him for his ideas on how the team’s forthcoming game might fit into that universe. Subsequently, the team started discussing charact


You would not want to play Gibraltar the same way as the illusive Wraith character, who's playstyle is about flanking enemies. Her elusive abilities make her an excellent choice for a player who excels at a harassing or assassin style of p


But what’s interesting is how apex legends arena mode Legends is able to present itself as both a character showcase and a plot-driven narrative, using the battle royale concept as the story framework. Keep in mind how impressive this is in an era where some question whether games should bother to include narrative at


Since Apex Legends debuted just over a year ago, PUBG has undergone several new map additions. Call of Duty: Black Ops 4: Blackout also saw some updates, though few of them worthy of significant discussion beyond the game's core players. Fortnite had a black hole that put it front and center for a short time before the game tapered off and out of the broader public consciousness once again. But few things get gaming Twitter talking as much as an Apex Legends character reveal trai


The biggest robbery of the 2019 Game Awards? A Plague Tale: Innocence not winning anything. Sure, the game wasn't perfect, but in terms of an original single-player narrative, the game was unmatched in its story and emotional impact. Disturbing enough to make me never want to to play it again, but fun enough to make me consider it, A Plague Tale: Innocence will never get the credit it deserves. Maybe its sequel will finally bring more players aboard, tho
