As far as in-game loot options, a grapple gun with only three or four uses or a single-use zip line loot drop could be strong opportunity to counter. As a random Epic or Legendary loot drop, item rarity could make it so that people would still have to work to obtain these it

The worry here isn’t that they would all of a sudden stop caring, but rather that, if the game’s player base falls off, they would quickly abandon ship. Respawn has been known to support their multiplayer games long after they should, so it isn’t a real concern based on their track record, but it’s always something to be conscious ab

Apex Legends began with great promise, but its overall disregard for its consumer base started with bland PS5 Reviews cosmetic rewards and is currently represented by manipulative loot box mechanics. The progression tends to make one imagine their primary concern is getting as much money from their players as possible, rather than providing a quality experience and earning revenue through grateful play

There’s a reason players call her “Wifeline.” Ajay Che is sarcastic and tough, but she’s also a compassionate and caring person. Her choice to be a medic proves she has a good heart. Pair that with a unique sense of style and her musical talents and she’s a total ca

Wraith’s the type of person I’d kiss when the mood is exactly right. We’re drinking hot toddies, enjoying a romantic evening of discussing the latest Area 51 conspiracy theories when I decide to plant one on

Building upon the lore is but one aspect of the new content, as the Archives will also be a great source for new cosmetics, with, “a ton of new customization coming, on top of the store and chapters, we’re really cranking it up in terms of content comi

One of the problems with competing against Fortnite is that players expect similar value for their consumer dollar. While the game is free-to-play, many players spend on cosmetic items to support the develo

For now, the future of Dead by Daylight looks bright, and the passion of its game director can only bring positive developments in the future. Now we wait to see if Oni is our next killer, or something new and twisted in betw

In translating the core gameplay to new platforms, Côté describes some of the considerations needed both for the Switch and upcoming mobile version of the game. For Nintendo, “the biggest thing with the Switch is obviously that visually it had to be accommodated and optimized a little bit compared to what we have on high end PCs…However, playing it in handheld, I think there is something kinetic about it, literally you’re so crunched into it, to me it’s a very different experience, I like that. I try to play at least a few games per day, especially on a new platform so I know what the hell I’m talking abo

As you would expect for someone who was experimented on at length and came out the other side with extremely powerful abilities, Wraith has almost zero memories about her life before she entered experimentation. Since she doesn’t remember anything from her childhood it’s hard for people who enjoy the character to know anything about her. Luckily the new animated short provided additional information, and maybe Respawn Entertainment will do even more for her in the fut

I hope Caustic finds love someday. But “death-obsessed mad scientist” isn’t a great look on a potential kissing partner. Plus I’d hate to think how this character might smell after a day of handling NOX gas. As far as the game’s most kissable characters, Caustic is a no-go. But seeing him in a dapper suit and watching him smile over something other than bloodlust might change my m

It seems that the world of superheroes comes naturally to VanSanten, so it’s no surprise that she voices a hero of her own in Wraith. She’s a perfect example of an actor looking nothing like their character, but doing an excellent job of giving it the perfect voice anyw

Until recently, Dead by Daylight was a game played only on PC , PlayStation 4 , and Xbox One , but now players have new ways to play. The Nintendo Switch port of the game offers a different experience altogether, putting the action in your hands, and the mobile version of the game is in early beta and not available in North America, although that has not stopped this writer from having it on his ph

The mobile platform is it’s own monster to deal with, “the controls were the first thing we tackled, obviously, because its how you enjoy the game,” Côté describes, “The team really nailed it, it’s simple, it works. We had a bit of an edge because the game was always designed to be a two-button game. Ideally it was played on a controller, and the early prototypes were two shoulder buttons and the thumb sticks, and that was

The battle pass for the second season in Apex Legends did a lot to fix how terrible it was for the first season. They added better rewards and made it feel like you were earning things at a reasonable pace. Fans still felt that many of the skins in the battle pass didn’t feel special enough at later levels and hope that, with the new season, they work even more towards making it worthwhile. It will all depend on how the battle pass for the second season sold and how vocal the feedback was from play
