Game Discussion of the Week: Apex Legends

Added and stickied.

I would totally start loving battle royale games on foot if they had Pierce Brosnan skins, but so far no one has done it, no Fornite, no PUBG, no Black Ops, or the upcoming Firestorm from EA.

Balder you should like this game considering you like Titanfall, and this one is suppose to belong in the same Universe. I haven't seen any playable mechs, so I still don't know how it is related.

At least you can use those zip lines to get really high on the ground. I'm really surprised there is no hate considering it is a battle royale from EA that probably has a tone of loopboxes, and microtransactions.

This was the total opposite case of Command & Conquer Rivals that came from the same people, and the opposite as well of Diablo Immortal from Blizzard. Also free to play, but hated before they were even out.

Waiting when you're dead is one of the worst aspects of Battle Royale, but Apex has basically solved this problem. You can revive your teammates when they get knockef down and are bleeding out as normal, but even if they get executed, you can still revive then by recovering their banner, which is to go over to their body hit a button and then find a something called a beavon on the map. There you can upload their banner into machine, and your teammate will respawn. It's the most clever solution to the waiting problem in any BR game. Personally, I've never waited longer than 2 minutes before the rest of my squad were dead or I've been respawned.

I absolutely love this game.
To stratogustav :
It is a game published by EA, but for some reason it's free, so it's obviously going to have lootboxes and microtransactions, but they don't break the game. Since they actually don't give an advantage, I feel it's justified. The lootboxes are only cosmetics, so there's no need to use money on it if you don't want to, I know I won't. It is set in the same universe as Titanfall, but doesn't need to have the mech in it. If you look for the story, you can actually find a pretty good reason for there not beeing mechs. Pluss out of the legends they have presented, none of them are pilots, which means no titans. Even though it's published by EA, it doesn't mean Respawn is shitty.

To Cervantes :
Balder is very correct. They fix a lot of the problems about waiting for your teamates to die since they have the revivie thingy. This is also a very fast paced game, so if you want, you can have games with mostly action

I've been interested in trying PUBG for a while now. It's the only battle royale game that interests me.

winnersdontusedrugs - I saw a few reviews of Titanfall and I'm surprised, too - it seems to be one of those rare sightings of a modern AAA FPS series that demands skill to move your character around, it looks great.

GunZ was really good, especially for a free-to-play game in the 2000s. That reminds me: one of the reasons why I was excited at the first trailers of Devil's Third was because it seemed to be a spiritual successor to GunZ made by Itagaki, Ninja Gaiden's director. Too bad it went nowhere. I know there is a real sequel to GunZ, but it didn't seem to be very exciting either.
