Why Games Need To Remove Fall Damage Once And For All

Apex Season 12 Legends from Respawn Entertainment is currently celebrating its Season 6 event and players are having a blast with the new changes. Outside of the gun changes which have altered the meta, many updates have led to a change in the tier list for Legends in the g

Why have I thrown myself so hard at this game? Is it the mechanics? Well, for starters, yeah – they’re among the best I’ve ever touched in a shooter, but that’s not it. What about the visuals? Sure, they’re undeniably great, but there’s something more. And while I could sit here and talk about how smartly designed the maps are, or how good all the guns feel, or how the traversal tech is more interesting than its peers, it’s not necessarily the mechanics that have grabbed me as hard as one other major fa

Updated on April 26, 2023, by Ritwik Mitra: The Xbox One offers a wide variety of third-person shooters that are incredibly fun to play. These games offer thrilling gunfights, impressive graphics, and engaging storylines that will keep players hooked for hours on end. With the addition of gameplay enhancements like cooperative multiplayer modes and customizable characters, the Xbox One's library of third-person shooters provides endless hours of entertainment for gamers of all skill lev

Update 9.1 also adds the new map, Paramo, which features an active volcano and flowing lava across the landscape. It's also partly procedurally generated, so the new PUBG map feels different every time you play. However, because of the ever-shifting nature of the map, it's located in a separate matchmaking pool called Seasonal Match. Wins here will not count towards your sta

Season 6 saw the introduction of the new Legend named Rampart, but just how powerful is she? Keeping a multiplayer game fresh is important and the best way to do that is to shake up which characters are the most powerful in any given season. It's time to look at who has risen to the top in Season 6 of Apex Legen

Risk of Rain 2 is a fast-paced third-person shooter roguelike that takes place in an alien world filled with hordes of deadly creatures. Players must fight their way through increasingly challenging levels while collecting items and power-ups to enhance their abilit

For example, Death Totem has many uses. As mentioned it can be used to excellent effect when up against a single squad at close-range, and in general when in Death Protection you should be more ambitious and a bit more careless than usual - you will get a chunk of your health back on returning to the totem, after all, and as long as an enemy isn’t waiting at the totem for you to appear, you’ll be in a good posit

I digress. First, let’s talk about the female characters – practically all of them look the goddamn same. Outliers like Mei and Zarya notwithstanding, almost every single female character, regardless of nationality, ethnicity, or occupation, are identical in both facial characteristics and body type. A gruff military woman hailing from Egypt has the same ass and bust and weight of an introverted teenage hacker from Mexico, a socially awkward Indian mathematician, a dumb white cowgirl, a Swedish welder, a German doctor, a professional gamer from Korea, a French sniper, a white whatever-the-fuck Tracer is, et cet

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

Although sword-fighting titles have made up a bulk of the third-person genre , with The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Dark Souls 3, and Monster Hunter: World leading the way, shooters have also carved themselves a spot in the popular genre of gam

Lifeline is still to this day arguably the best support Legend in all of Apex Legends , and her recent buffs only add to that case. She can now dual-revive via a new mechanic, which in the right hands can swing entire team fights if done accordingly. Lifeline can now also grab tons of extra loot as 20% of all supply bins will be blue. She's fallen out of popularity simply because healing supports are never the most interesting or entertaining, but she still has a case for herself and thankfully hasn't been nerfed into obscur

With cooperative multiplayer, players can team up with friends to take on challenging bosses and levels together. It's pretty much the definition of a perfect sequel, and the fact that Risk of Rain 2 is still wildly popular to this day is proof of just how brilliant this title really
