Traditionally, a video game's life can span from six months to about two years. While gamers can continue playing the titles past that, most of the time games lose popularity or a company decides to shift focus onto the next ti
Honestly, the powerhouse that is Bangalore doesn't need any help in the arena. She can take care of herself. However, if she were to search for companionship, she would find a friend in Torkoal. Torkoal's Pokédex entry in Pokémon FireRed **__ ** states, " It burns coal inside its shell. If it is attacked, it belches thick, black smoke and flees. " Bangalore's tactical ability does something similar with smoke grenades. Together, they could create a blinding environment that even Bloodhound would have a hard time navigat
Although many online competitive games, like Call of Duty, Halo, and Battlefield gave players the opportunity to chat with teammates, battle royale titles emphasize it to a much higher degree. This is because many of the FPS game tournaments modes in the previously mentioned games are not designed around high-stakes survi
So if the fighters of Apex Legends were to each have the chance to pick a Pokémon for themselves, which would they choose? Well, first, to ensure that the arena is still standing at the end of each match, Legendary Pokémon must be off limits (despite the pun). The Apex gunners are powerful enough without cosmic-creating creatures by their side. Additionally, readers can assume that once a Legend chooses their Pokémon, the creature ceases to evolve any further, avoiding any sudden massive changes to the Apex balance. So which Pokémon would each Apex Legend decide
This is because of the season pass model Fortnite created . Instead of buying a chance at winning an item you want, like how a slot machine works, the season pass model gives players the option to unlock cosmetics through experience points. While joining the season costs money, season passes allow players to see what they could earn first, circumventing the "gambling" asp
When talking to professional gamers you'll find that characters that allow for improved movement and mobility will always be favorable in their eyes. Wraith lets players engage and get aggressive with the enemy, but at the same time provides options for being able to retreat saf
For many years, games like Gears of War, Halo , and Call of Duty carried the torch when it comes to shooters. While all of the mentioned games (and countless others) have stuck to the traditional formula for over a decade, the success of the battle royale genre has caused nearly every shooter to shift how they develop their online experience. For example, Call of Duty 's multiplayer has stayed very similar since 2007's Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare . Since the release of Fortnite, however, Activision has made multiple attempts at creating a Call of Duty battle royale. While Call of Duty still offers its conventional multiplayer, it is clear that Warzone has become a primary fo
Updated May 16th, 2021 by Ritwik Mitra: It goes without saying that PUBG is easily one of the biggest and most prominent battle royales of all time. In fact, one can even give it the moniker of being the most accessible battle royale around, given the fact that PUBG Mobile and PUBG Lite have allowed a larger swath of gamers to get into this highly addictive and challenging title. The latter is especially popular in this regard, with the following weapons being the cream of the crop that will help a person edge all the more closer to the elusive chicken din
Players who like to get up close and personal during firefights will definitely find themselves relying on the AKM more often than not after realizing the immense potential of this weapon at close ra
One way Fortnite has stayed popular is through their in-game events . While some of these include changes to the game , most consist of clever and fun tie-ins to other popular and relevant intellectual properties. For example, Fortnite recently allowed players to play as their favorite Marvel characters. Although it does not impact the gameplay, fun in-game events like these entice players to return to the g
Then you have Bloodhound, the non-binary espionage expert. It’s a cool way to put a non-binary character in a AAA game, I feel, because whatever perceived "gendered" physical characteristics they might have are obscured by a gas mask and bulky clothing. Their appearance is calculated very deliberately to be genderless and ambiguous, which is a great artistic choice. Oh, and let’s talk for a second about Gibralter. Here's this goofy and sweet beefcake who's gay and doesn’t have some sort of sad backstory about it. He’s not cuckolded and sad like Soldier 76, whose story echoes literally every Hollywood movie ever written about gay men that’s not called Moonlight, or if he is, we don’t know about it. That’s rad as h
The Apex Legends roster is now up to fifteen characters, and each of them possesses unique abilities and personalities that keeps players' experiences fresh. It's not absurd to assume that the Legends would be lining up to pick Pokémon. After all, neither of them are strangers to the concept of a friendly battle. Pokémon similarly have unique abilities that, on occasion, mimic those of Apex Legends' Legends, making them perfect sidekicks to the act
