It's possible the decision to release Apex Legends before Anthem was an intentional move to draw attention away from what EA knew would be a disastrous launch. Maybe in the weeks leading up to Anthem 's release, executives realized the game would be critically panned. After the beta period, players were quick to note how "broken" the game f

Netflix's new series The Witcher , based on the popular video game series, indicates there's a strong market for live action series based on beloved games. While many studios have tried ( and largely failed ) with film adaptations, streaming television services tend to be a more forgiving medium. Budgets are typically smaller, and with that, productions are lower-risk than films, which seek recouped costs with large-scale theatrical releases. To date, TV networks have aired a handful of shows based on video games, primarily targeted toward kids or anime audiences. However, there’s been little in the way of live-action television adaptations of games for primarily adult audien

It also shows a quick flash of a MRVN billboard. This is interesting because Hammond Robotics created such robots. The image seems to reinforce the idea that MRVNs like Pathfinder are designed to be eternally optimistic, despite the truth of the circumstan

At the new incarnation of Geyser, which looks far more desolate than before, Revenant shows off the new bolt-action sniper rifle. Called the Sentinel, it purportedly has some type of charge mechanic, though it will be hard to understand how it differs from a weapon such as the Charge Rifle until players can test it on their

This isn’t the game’s first Season 4 teaser — who could forget Forge's untimely death or Revenant’s role in a brutal bloodbath ? — but it’s players’ first look at what they can expect when they drop into Worlds Edge after the season beg

This isn’t literally a finisher, but rather, a workaround for knockdown shields. True, it’s generally best to leave knocked enemies be while you finish their teammates. However, they will always give away your position. And you might actually need their armor in tough situations, like a Third Party’s attack. So, here’s a little tip for finishing them off quickly—a knocked enemy cannot turn as quickly as you strafe. Slide to the left, convincing them to point their shield at you, then promptly slide to the right. Unless they drop their shield altogether, they won’t turn quickly enough to stop your bullets. Fooling them into turning the wrong way, trying to anticipate your movement, consistently wo

This would usually result in disaster in the hands of a novice developer, but Bioware is anything but a novice developer. They turned the exploration heavy original and tweaked it into a dramatic thriller, filled with some of the best character and world-building the video game industry has ever seen. Reworked combat helps make ME 2 feel more visceral than the original Mass Effect . This game is a must-p

You would not want to play Gibraltar the same way as the illusive Wraith character, who's playstyle is about flanking enemies. Her elusive abilities make her an excellent choice for a player who excels at a harassing or assassin style of p

Destruction. Battlefield Bad Company 2 boasts some of the best destructible environments that any game has seen to this very day. Critical buildings can be reduced to ashes if repeatedly hit with explosives. Light cover can be blown away with repeated small arms fire. This game allowed for so much replayability in its multiplayer, also boasting a rather lighthearted campaign most fans enjo

Even if you dislike the gameplay presented in this title, the amount of genuine passion present makes this game such a treat to play, finally nailing the feeling of Star Wars that fans haven't seen in arguably a dec

Although Lifeline heals more quickly, including downed teammates, her shield is a beacon to the enemy. It signals a squad to push on you, because two-thirds of your team is occupied. However, these characteristics can be used to your advantage in a pinch. Firstly, you can use the whirring sound of D.O.C. as bait to suggest that you need healing when you don’t. The same goes for Lifeline’s shield, luring the enemy to attack, when you can try Apexherozone.com’re actually ready to defend. But trickiest of all, you can use Lifeline’s shield as a literal shield in close-quarters combat. Begin to revive a teammate just while the enemy is shooting, then release and fire back. Repeat as necessary, and it might just save you. These tactics are especially handy when both teammates are d

There's then a whisper that leads into a song. "Jekyll-and-Hyde-ing me," the raspy voice says as the trailer continues before the beat picks up. The song itself is a metaphor for a number of things in the trailer, not least of which is Revenant hims

What separates a bad player from an excellent one in Apex is their understanding of the movement mechanics in the game. Learning how to slide, crouch, jump or climb over walls can establish a clear and explicit gap in skill between your competit
