That situation is likely salvageable due to the otherwise full-priced game's instant addition to the subscription-based Xbox Game Pass service, but missteps taken by Metro Exodus publisher Deep Silver have all but overshadowed the launch of the fantastic post-apocalyptic experience when they made the boldly abrupt decision to snub Steam and limit the game's PC release to the Epic Games Store . It's unknown how deeply this last-minute choice made from the top-down has affected Metro Exodus ' sales, but it generated enough online backlash among outraged PC players to drown out any positive news about the g
Enemies are very quiet even when landing from huge jumps, or when sliding. Obviously, wearing a headset will really help you hear this little audio cues, but even then, it's very easy for enemies to surprise you without you hearing a th
The Hot Zone is the initial area on the map with incredible loot. Naturally, teams flock to it in the hopes of obtaining high tier armor and weapons. And there's nothing worse than a new player going to it and getting downed in the first thirty seconds while their teammates are on the other side of the map. We understand that dropping there makes for a good learning experience, but if you want to train, play with friends and not with rand
Every person who plays _ Apex Legends _ with regularity is aware that, upon being knocked, Mirage leaves a decoy behind and has a few seconds to reposition. Solos will render this ability mostly useless, except possibly in the case where Mirage has a Gold Knockdown shield that allows them to self-revive. But even so, an enemy would likely see this character in a downed state and, in order to finish the kills, chase the character until they materialize. Therefore, it seems unlikely that the Encore! Passive Ability will have much use in So
However, one of the little known facts about this game is that you can actually slide indefinitely while moving down a hill or a slope of any kind. What this means is that you can just keep sliding down a hill without stopping, all the way to the end. Smart players can use this to their advantage, as sliding is much faster than runn
It's clear that the game is generating an enormous audience, and as such, more and more people are flocking to it. But this isn't like most games. Yes, it has a tutorial, but that is very brief and hardly goes into the mechanics and complexities of the game, its controls, and its various strategies. This obviously results in many ignorant players, many of whom could probably be better players if they knew the intricate mechanics of the game rather than just the base contr
The Respawn team buffed the character’s Eye of the Allfather Tactical Ability for Season 2, adding adjustments that improved its potential to briefly expose hidden enemies and follow their movements. This tactical is useful in a team play situation, as teammates can also learn enemies’ locations and hone in on them as a group. However, the fact that this tactical exposes the player’s own whereabouts fully counters any potential benefits in So
One of the main things these characters have in common is that their abilities frequently give away their exact locations at range, www.apexlegendshq.com either through sound or visual cues. Contrast that with characters like Wraith or Bangalore, whose abilities serve to obscure their locations, and it’s easy to see why the characters outlined above are inferior choi
She's also known for doing the role of Tiki whenever a new Fire Emblem game is released in the West. Like many of the voices in Apex Legends , Mela Lee brings out Lifeline's personality and helped in making her an immediate fan favor
Metro Exodus is a diamond in the rough here in terms of its gameplay and story, with the other releases this week falling agonizingly flat in one area or the other. While Apex Legends is being universally lauded for its impressive blend of frenzy and strategy, as well as for its revolutionary ping system that makes teamplay easier and more integral than in any shooter before it, February has brought little else in the way of gameplay innovation. Crackdown 3 is a fairly mindless power fantasy sandbox, which is great for players seeking that experience, but disappointing to others due to how few additions it brings to the table when compared with the 12-year-old initial entry into the ser
Octane’s Stim Tactical Ability gives players a 30% speed increase, but it requires health to use and, like Bloodhound’s Ultimate, it’s noisy. Contrast this to Bangalore who can move more quickly when taking damage and doesn’t make additional noise leveraging this ability. Typically, a Bangalore can also hide their exact whereabouts in smoke for an added layer of protection. And, while Octane’s on-demand speed boost can be useful in situations, such as getting loot at the start of the game, the 10% health reduction may not be worth it to the average player—particularly when players can use Pathfinder’s grapple for similar purposes while taking no health l
