About Me
At the end of the day, Epic Games wants to succeed as a publisher by hoarding exclusives, and time will tell if their strategy works, but it is clear that they are completely committed to their strategy and are not interested in the opinions of users who dislike exclusivity agreements. As a result, we can be sure to hear more as each new exclusivity deal is announ
Just after the trailer introduces the totem, Revenant shoots some kind of grenade out of his arm. From the gameplay video alone, it’s hard to tell how, exactly, this will work. However, it appears his grenade tactical ability may have some kind of arc or stun charge, which manifests as the orange glowing ball in the image be
Smaller Indie game developers meanwhile have a harder choice to make. For instance, the developer of DARQ turned down an exclusivity agreement with Epic Games because of his principles. He was aware of the free advertising his game had received in the years leading up to the release of the game on Steam, and he had reaffirmed his release on that platform days before being approached by Epic Games. To go back on his word so soon would make it difficult for consumers to trust him in the fut
It's not unusual for Respawn and Electronic Arts to put subtle teasers into their trailers. A recent tweet from the official Apex Legends Twitter account showed correspondence that alluded to the fact that Caustic was becoming soft. One hypothesis is that this sets up a Caustic Town Takeover on Worlds Edge this season, similar to past takeovers for Wraith, Octane and Mir
August brought the highly anticipated Iron Crown event to Apex Legends , but players became frustrated almost immediately thanks to the greedy structure put in place for obtaining new cosmetic items. Of all the events launched in the game, this was the priciest and least accessible when it came to acquire each item, and it would cost over $154 to acquire everyth
The explanation blew up in their faces shortly after and #GameFreakLied trended on Twitter as some dataminers claimed that most 3D models in the game was identical to that of the previous game. There were other issues to come that would anger fans of the franchise, and all of Game Freak’s troubles in the matter can be traced to their lack of communication, or in this case as many still feel, deception and outright l
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
In this chapter, Ninja offers tips on pimping a stream to make it seem more professional. Recently, TheGamer invited me to do some product reviews. With a green screen backdrop, a nice LED light and more desktop space due to a wireless mouse option, I felt so good about my setup that I'm now convinced I'm the next Ninja (have you seen the header image on this stor
I have a lot of respect for Ninja. The man, alongside his wife, Jessica, built an a multinational empire by playing video games. I, on the other hand, spend most of my days in my pajamas, tweeting jokes and Photoshopping bad Apex Legends me
The first chapter, "Gear Up," is about investing in the right gear. Unfortunately, it's primarily limited to a discussion of PC gaming gear. Given that I'm an Xbox girl in a PC world, I initially found it about as helpful as a Mozambique without a hop
It's reasonable to imagine those 10 players spend much more time playing Apex Legends News Legends than others. To give you an idea of how this might shape out, it's worth noting that out of my 100 Xbox friends who play Apex Legends the most, one has played more than 3,050 hours. He's the game's overall 20th ranked player based on player level ( as calculated prior to the changes made in the game's most recent update ), according to TRN's Apex Legends Tracker . The friend with the second-most time in the game is also a strong player but has logged only 1700 ho
Despite speculation that Electronic Arts would shut down game studio BioWare after back-to-back flops Mass Effect: Andromeda and Anthem , Kotaku’s Jason Schreier recently published an article claiming the beloved studio is alive and kicking . The game company is working on an overhaul of Anthem , he says, which it may call Anthem 2.0 or Anthem N
To think about it another way, the average household income sinks significantly if you take out a handful of billionaires that skew the data set. Using made-up numbers again, assume that if you include them, an "average" income across a given country is $500,000 dollars. But the vast majority of people make much less than that. Take the billionaires out, and the average income starts to look more like $50,
As a writer, Hagopian may have entered the world of battle royale games unsure of his purpose. But given the tremendous amount of fan support for Apex Legends over the last year, one would hope he has fully realized his purpose by
