Silence (Tactical): Thanks to Revenant’s special tech, he can throw a device that acts as a weak grenade. Aside from damaging enemies, this disables all the abilities of enemies caught in the blast for a durat

Given the holiday’s emphasis on coupledom, it makes sense that these games would seize this opportunity to host duos events. While it’s obvious that most people who are going to partner up in these modes aren’t actually couples, it provides a fun take on the collective obsession with couple

The big names to take exclusive agreements with Epic Games have been Borderlands 3 , Shenmue 3 , Metro Exodus , and many more. Following the release of each game, there seems no indication that sales have been hurt in the proc

The sheer number of decisions players can make as Connor is mind-blowing, leading to some tense moments as players try to play the game the way they want without any compromises. Regardless of the trajectory they choose for Connor, he'll stand out as one of the best video game robots that players can cont

Shadow Mode is helpful, but not indestructible: Anyone from the team who touches the Totem becomes a shadow for 25 seconds. However, Shadow Mode doesn’t have Shields and only has 50 Health upon returning to the Totem after death. The Totem’s time is extended based on the last person to become a shadow. Meaning, turning into a shadow when the Totem is only a few seconds from closing will extend the Totem’s timer for another 25 seco

A duo partner also has to be someone with whom you have a compatible play style — and that's a tough thing to find. In order to succeed, both players need to be about the same skill level or, at the very least, have skills that complement one anot

The examples listed above are but a few of the scandals from 2019, and in each case, it was always a lack of communication or of intention that sparked trouble. The issue with the reaction from a player base is that it is most often a small minority of highly-vocal users, and there is little to be done about that, but it remains true that they will bang the drums the loudest if not content with how developers treat their games. With careful planning in how news is announced, developers can avoid almost all controversy, or like Respawn, they can choose to insult their players, resulting in the CEO needing to make a public, and embarrassing apol

Revenant boasts one of the most horrifying appearances among his Apex Legends companions, and this is huge because of his nature as a Simulacra. Since he’s practically a robot, Revenant isn’t actively worrying about risking his life on the field. And it’s this "control" over death that makes him utterly terrifying, especially with a powerful Apex Legends Assault Rifle and other straightforward weaponry. Here’s what fans can expect from using Reven

SBMM needs to exist because if the top one percent of players spend more than 300 times as much time in the game than any player in the bottom 10 percent, then in a true random system, the low-tier players will consistently be matched in lobbies with these top one percent players who play the game 300 times as much as the no

Revenant's crouching Sniper’S Mark Ability allows the assassin to maintain his normal walk speed even when crouching. This may sound like an insignificant skill but it allows for some powerful in-game application. Revenant's rapid crouch speed allows him to cover a large amount of distance silently. Crouch walking in this game prevents an enemy player from hearing your footsteps and is essential for stealth-oriented success. This makes Revenant's archetype as an assassin-style character incredibly easy to incorporate in his gamep

To be sure, people have their own dating horror stories . But the rejection is real when your duos partner abandons you for a better duo partner like my friend Lootscifer did when our friend Goldy logged

The majority of people complaining about SBMM seem to be in the top echelon of players. Their complaints are valid. But it’s important to look at this as a mathematical challenge. The reality is that without SBMM, even middle-of-the-road casual players have an extremely high chance of being consistently matched with top players against whom they don't stand a cha

The following is full of assumptions and made-up but easy-to-understand numbers. The goal is to illustrate the math driving the SMBB argument as there’s no accurate game data publicly available for these calculati
