2019 provided gamers with a ton of memorable and fun titles that will likely continue to thrive in the coming years. While we are certainly an eclectic group of writers with different tastes and #1 picks, it was Resident Evil 2 that was mentioned most in our lists, earning the title out TheGamer's Game of the Year for 2
Based on my Xbox data, it appears the top one percent of players still put in almost double the time of even those in the 98th percentile. Theoretically, the 98th percentile has spent half as much time in the game and would therefore still not be quite as good as the top one perc
Planet Zoo is one of the most advanced simulation games I've ever played. While it isn't perfect, it's pretty close and is paving the way for the sim genre. There is a depth weâve never seen in both graphics and gameplay, which allows players to feel truly connected to the world they are building. Planet Zoo will take you into your environment in a brand new way, all while raising awareness of important issues through an engaging and enjoyable g
Pair him with me, who couldnât solve a puzzle even if it were designed for a five-year-old. Portal 2 had me banging my head against the wall. I didnât understand how he could see so many things I didnâ
Many people will celebrate Valentineâs Day with new loves or longtime partners, while others will lament the fact that they canât get a date at all. But in my experience, finding a date for Valentineâs Day is a feat far less difficult than finding the perfect duo part
Top Apex Legends players are making impassioned pleas for game developer Respawn to do away will skill-based matchmaking (SBMM). From their perspectives, itâs not fair that public matches feel as competitive â if not more competitive â than ranked games . This is indeed problematic, as ranked exists specifically so top players can compete at a top-tier level. Players who play public matches shouldnât be subject to the same level of competitive p
It's safe to say season four has a lot of potential to right some wrongs of the previous season - and just as much potential to wrong some rights. What Respawn's going to do is anyone's guess, though the fans certainly have their own ideas on what worked and what didn't with season three. That said, here are five things we'd love to see in season four, as well as five things that Apex Legends is probably best off leaving beh
Apex Legends is one of many in the Battle Royale trend, but it has truly found its stride. After establishing refreshing traits like the ping system and faster gameplay, there has been a satisfying increase in content over time. EA has similarly improved Battlefront II in this way. Respawn even started off the new year with an event that cycles multiple Limited-Time Modes every two d
This is a tough problem, and unfortunately, Iâm not paid enough to solve it. But I would recommend that the game consistently adjust and re-roll lobbies based on performance in the previous games played in their recent histories. So, if a strong player plays two or three games in a row alongside other players at their skill levels, they default to easier lobbies for a while regardless of their own skill levels. Us potatoes will be fine with this as long as there are occasionally some lobbies where itâs possible for us to win as well. Regardless of how it's implemented, if SBMM is in the game, it should still always feel as though a player is facing off against random lobbies in public ga
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 donât. The same goes for Lifelineâs shield, luring the enemy to attack, when youâre actually ready to defend. But trickiest of all, you can use Lifelineâs 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
As mentioned, the firing range is an essential place to improve at the battle royale giant. In this mode, players are provided ever weapon, equipable item and secondary weapon in the game. Becoming familiar with each of these weapons will make a novice player into an exp
Beyond providing an alternative to Apex Legends' base gameplay, it'd make a great opportunity to explore the lore and story behind the Apex Legends Skins games and its characters, and considering it takes place in the Titanfall universe , there's a lot for Respawn to play with in terms of id
But with duos, itâs just you and your partner. This means there are a lot of requirements for becoming one half of a solid duo. Suffice it to say, it's not enough to like your duo partner as a person. The two players also have to actually like one another. They must be able to communicate through heated moments for hours on end without annoying or upsetting the ot
