A walking tank, what Gibraltar loses in movement speed he makes up for in utility. In a wide-open field or the cities, his shield dome can save a team in distress. The combination of his dome and ultimate can push a team away or invite them into a close-quarters shotgun fight that Gibby will likely win with his gun shield act

Apex Legends was poised to immediately garner a large fanbase due to its status as a free-to-play game. Anthem , on the other hand, had a higher barrier to entry as it cost at least $60 to download and play. This alone should have led someone at the top to question whether the games would hinder one another's succ

Perhaps its continued support of the game is a redemption effort of sorts. Back in February, i n a move that signaled how drastically out of touch game publishers can be with the gaming community, EA surprised the world by launching Apex Legends within weeks of Anthem ’s scheduled release. The former appeared as a surprise drop on Feb. 4, 2019. The latter officially launched on Feb. 22, 2019, following a beta event from Jan. 25-27 and early releases for EA Origin Access on PC and EA Access for Xbox on Feb.

His Insider Knowledge passive lets the player plan ahead to maximize positioning. His quips are always hilarious, even when losing to him. In short, MRVN’s ability to traverse the map and allow his team to do the same is what makes him the best option on the World’s Edge

Battlefield titles combine fast-paced infantry combat with a wide array of vehicles for players to use, leading to interesting engagements that few games can compare to. How can you add to that form

There will be two types of rewards available during the Grand Soirée Arcade event. First, there’s a variety of gun skins and a special Mirage skin that will be given out by earning points from the event challenges. The other fancy skins will added to Apex’s direct purchase shop along with other cosmetics inspired by Art Deco designs. Let’s take a look at what qualifies as fancy in the world of Apex Lege

Players’ interest in these characters is a direct result of the care that the Respawn puts into developing them. Whether it’s Wraith’s forgotten past, Bloodhound’s mystique or Mirage’s use of humor to hide his insecurities, fans develop deep attachments to these multi-dimensional characters. These bonds inspire further creativity as the characters become the subjects of memes, fan art and cosp

Following the Mirage-centric Holo-Day Bash, the Grand Soirée Arcade is Apex’s latest event featuring a variety of special modes and special rewards for two weeks in January. Let’s see what’s being added in for Pathfinder’s big fancy pa

Mirage’s ultimate is not only a good escape tactic but also can be used to sneak up on an unsuspecting enemy while your team engages from another direction. Mirage makes the top half because of his ability to distract and maneuver around the enemy te

In my own experience, outside of competitive play, it almost seems as though players' mains reflect aspects of their real-life identities. That’s not to say that all Revenant mains are evil people. However, they may, for example, see themselves as having a dark side they can express through this charac

"The overlap starts to get less and less when you look at the kind of games that they are," BioWare's lead producer Mike Gamble told Business Insider's Ben Gilbert in the days leading up to Anthem 's laun

Whether as a new, paired weapon or a hop-up modification for existing weapons (with the Mozambique being a frequent suggestion), dual-wielding has been a feature players have petitioned for over a considerable length of t

LIVE. DIE. LIVE (January 16 - 17): As long as one member of your team is alive, the entire team will respawn when the ring closes, so make sure everyone you meet is good and dead or their friends might make a comeb

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

The combat is sublime, only held down by the Unique Game mechanics's lackluster sound design. The plot here is amazing for those who pay attention, easily beating Skyrim but not on par with Dragon Age . Classes are handled masterfully in this game as well, letting gamers play nearly any class or playstyle they can imagine. It's a shame this game never got a seq

In contrast, Anthem had no fan base to start with. EA didn’t give it room to develop one. For all the criticism of Mass Effect: Andromeda , people were still talking about it. Even as a critical flop, it had little impact on people’s feelings about the franchise as a wh

World's Edge isn't the worst map, all things considered, and it's been a pretty fresh change of scenery after two entire seasons spent picking apart King's Canyon. However, it has already grown a bit stale, and does possess its fair share of glaring iss
