Why Games Need To Remove Fall Damage Once And For All

Realism is great and all, but the best kinds of games are the ones that say "screw it" and let you fly around without any fear of your ankles exploding. Fast-paced first-person shooters like the newer Doom games, multiplayer titles like Apex Legends , or superhero simulators like Marvel's Spider-Man all feel amazing because you're allowed to fling yourself into the air without worrying about how much damage you'll take when your feet meet the concrete. In some cases, these games even give you a move that lets you collide with the Earth quicker to deliver a colossal ground pound. Any FPS Game tournaments that encourages you to fall even faster is an A+ in my bo

Sometimes, the OG still wins thanks to its simpler mechanics. Unlike the various gameplay elements of Warzone , PUBG provides a more simplistic approach to battle royales. Players simply parachute in, collect weapons, and outlast opponents while avoiding the Blue Circle. Despite the rather many intermingling elements, they all work nicely for intense 10 to 30-minute matc


The ammo type for this gun is 9mm, which is the one used in most handguns and is readily available. The weapon has some decent attachments, including the extended mag, which increases the ammo capacity of the gun to


Although many battle royales have a form of micro-transactions, most of the developers behind them have figured out a way to entice fans to spend money without gaining an advantage over their opponents. While many game modes, like EA NHL 's Hockey Ultimate Team, allow gamers to spend real-world money to have a better chance at winning, battle royale games, like Fortnite and Warzone, simply give players the opportunity to make their in-game avatar look a certain way . While this is still a way for large companies to continue monetizing their titles, it's significantly preferable to outright purchasing items that provide an in-game advantage over competit


Unlike Warzone , PUBG doesn't have any complex "mini-games" for players. Instead, aside from the core survival mechanic, players also have to avoid the shrinking Blue Circle and the deadly Red Circle. Staying outside the Blue Circle drains player health, but outrunning this should be easy if players are just on the edge. However, if the Blue Circle begins actively shrinking, players may need vehicles to surv


Unlike other Battle Royale titles, Warzon e boasts a more tactical approach to this game genre. Thanks to its Call of Duty roots, Warzone also applies signature mechanics such as Scorestreaks, Loadouts, and even unique Contracts within a match. As such, each match isn't just long, but also has a ton of layers to dissect and take into acco


Revenant is a solid mid-range character, and mid-range weapons should be used. The fact is that the Stalker ability is useless unless actually close to enemies, the Death Totem needs to be used within a fairly reasonable range so you actually have the time to ambush enemies while in Death Protection, and his Silence ability can be flung far, but the best distance to use it is close-to-mid-range. As such, Revenant’s choice in weapons should reflect t


M249 is a light machine gun that players can find in the airdrops. Being an airdrop weapon, it is unique, mostly because of its insane firing rate and overall ammo-capacity. The gun carries 100 ammo in one magaz


PUBG console patch 9.1 adds frame rate priority mode to PS4 Pro and Xbox One X, allowing players on the more powerful systems to get up to 60fps gameplay. The screen resolution for the new mode will be limited to 10


Now when I say fall damage I'm not talking about falling into an endless pit. That's been a staple of gaming since the days of Super Mario Bros . While I don't necessarily enjoy that either, I understand that's it's there because most game designers don't want to recreate an entire planet's surface. Sometimes it's easier to put in a dark, foggy pit and leave its deadliness up to your imaginat


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


Fall damage is often added as an extra obstacle for you to worry about, but it's never an engaging part of any game. At best, your stumble will cost you a small portion of your life bar forcing you to soldier on with what health you have left or waste one of your healing items. At worst, the damage will kill you, causing you to swear at your TV out of frustration and wait for the annoying loading screen to finish so you can painfully make your way back to where you were. No matter what it does, it adds nothing but a moment of irritation that delays your progress. In short, it makes a fun game less


Thankfully, this rather straightforward approach also allowed players to go all out with their loadout and strategies. They don't need to think too hard about their approach to combat, they just grab a gun, wing it, and it's still
