Many modern video games consider sensitivity issues when it comes to gender expression and identity. As the percentage of women and gender-nonconforming people fpsinformer.xyz wrote in a blog post the gaming industry trends upward, it seems only natural to expect they would bring their diverse experiences to their craft.

But then again, these games also feature the same characters being shot, stabbed, burned, beaten, and dragged behind the bumper of a car. Yet the worst that happens is a few scratches and a drop or two of blood. If things get really bad, they might pause to apply a bandage while making a face that says "ouch, that smarts!" These are basically bombastic action movies that we get to play. When has an action movie ever ended because the main character has fallen and can't get up? Imagine if Die Hard ended early because John McClane fell down a flight of stairs. We definitely wouldn't be watching that film at Christmast

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

Released back in 2017, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds _ started the battle royale craze across the globe. One year later, _PUBG Mobile was released, allowing eager fans to play on their mobile devices wherever and whenever they wanted to. The announcement of a faithful PUBG port to phones was exciting for fans who don't have a console or PC, and were stuck playing PUBG clones . PUBG Mobile 's free-to-play model also allows more players to discover the game through app stores, and allows console PUBG players to check out PUBG Mobile on their devices completely f

For battle royale games, this idea can be compared to out of game progression. Apex Legends rewards players for playing matches with XP to level up their profile, earning both credits to use on the in-game store as well as Apex Packs, the game's iteration of the loot box. Through this method, Apex Legends seemingly provides more value for players uninterested in engaging with microtransactions or a battle pass. This could be a factor that has helped Apex Legends continue to grow its incredibly large player ba

No, I'm talking about that annoying moment when you're engaged in a tense battle against a formidable opponent, and just when you think you've gotten the better of them you miscalculate a dodge roll, tumble over a ledge, and the subsequent landing inflicts such extreme trauma to your shins that the "You Died" screen immediately pops up. All other damage you can handle like a champ. But a six-foot drop? Sorry pal, that's instant de

In _ Apex Legends _ , I can not only choose to play a non-stereotypical female character, but these characters constitute half of the game’s playable characters. There’s also a nonbinary character . One of the game’s female characters has a large scar on her face, a purely cosmetic detail that adds so much depth.

The main difference when players think of PUBG vs PUBG Mobile is the graphics. PUBG Mobile is clearly a much lower resolution so it's optimized for most smartphones worldwide. Although players can change their graphics settings up to Ultra, the graphics still will not match PUBG on PC, and some devices will sacrifice frames for graphic quality. On the other hand, a PC can handle a much larger workload and will be able to run very high graphics settings up to a 1080p HD gaming experience. PUBG on PC will be much smoother than PUBG Mob

This progression can be crucial for engagement with a battle royale games' battle pass just as the progression of a meal can be incredibly important for how the diner enjoys their food. If Fortnite 's battle pass has 100 levels but all of the rewards promised from level 70 to 100 are lackluster, players may stop progressing with the game once they reach level 69. Similarly, serving dessert before appetizers could be confusing and might leave customers dissatisfied with how their meal conclu

As I got older, games became more sophisticated. Decades later, when I first created a character in _ Destiny _ — the same main character I continue to use today in _ Destiny 2 _ — I didn’t go for beautiful. Instead, I chose to be interesting. My Guardian is a purple alien with an angled, bushy mohawk.

While this was the case before, Fortnite has shown that the battle royale genre is the perfect style of game to lengthen a game's life. Through season passes, map changes, and in-game events, Fornite is still the most popular game in the world, three years after lau

Princess Peach represents an ideal. She has blue eyes, blonde hair, white skin and a poofy pink dress. I wouldn’t be the first to write about this speaks to an unrealistic fantasy in which a goofy-looking plumber can win the heart of a princess by saving her from certain doom. That aside, Princess Peach bothers me because she stands for cultural standards of beauty and demeanor that are ultimately pretty corny.
