Apex Legends began with great promise, but its overall disregard for its consumer base started with bland 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

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

Along with the bronze coloring, the design also has a giraffe-like pattern on his forearms and another animal spotting on other parts of his body. It's a more subtle skin that isn't looking to impress anyone, but honestly, it might be the best suited for helping you blend in with King's Can

In total, the pass provided only four new skins, and three of them were unlocked right away at level one. These skins had only the smallest of differences in their paint jobs, leaving most to wonder what the point was of releasing them in the first place. The rest of the items were bland, and in some cases, loot boxes, which frustrate players now more than ever as they do not know what they are receiving and are at the mercy of a random loot table select

The design is primarily gold armor with accents of black and grey. It reads more like a set of raid armor from Destiny 2 more than it does a skin for a legend competing in the Apex Games. Gibraltar is rarely spotlighted or talked about so any way to get him noticed is always a welcomed addit

The plastic arms are wide enough to hold any phone and you simply squeeze them onto the phone to hold it. There's a button on the top that releases the phone with a really satisfying click and the ball joint arm lets you adjust your phone to any position you like. I often use my phone as a second screen when I game and I tend to drop it in my lap and lose track of it all the time. Now, I stick it in the mount on the left side of my desk and I can even keep resources like the PlayTFT.com item guide up on the screen, and its easier to

But Pathfinder has become to Apex Legend s what the M6D Pistol was to Halo: Combat Evolved . Serious players who want kills and wins are essentially facing a handicap by choosing to play without a Pathfinder in the sq

The Valor skin may only be listed as rare but the combination of red, navy blue and gold is great. The armor scaling on the chest and bracers as well as the chain mailing design on the boots makes this feel inspired by fantasy armor but gives it a nice modern fl

The game differed from other Battle Royale titles in that players were grouped into squads of three, with diverse classes that demand strategy and careful consideration of playstyle, and Ps5 Weapons that were far more accurate than in other games. As a free-to-play game, Apex Legends looked as though it would skyrocket to the top and remain th

The R-301 Carbine is arguably the best gun in the game and is usually a staple in the inventory of players looking to take home a championship. It has very little recoil and simply feels the best when in a firefight or extended engagement with an enemy t

Having the incredibly charming and downright terrifying Hannibal Lector roaming an insane asylum or decrepit mansion would be terrifying especially if he wore his iconic face mask. Having those familiar tunes of Goldberg Variations to classical pieces would make for a chilling atmosph

Recently, EA set the morality bar lower than we ever expected when Kerry Hopkins, VP of EA’s legal and government affairs, defended the use of loot boxes to the UK Parliament’s Digital, Culture, Media, and Sports Committee. Hopkins stated that "it’s like many other products that people enjoy in a healthy way, and like the element of surpri

The Wendigos could be an interesting addition as well with these Killers having difficulty seeing still targets, but able to move a lot faster across the ground or climbing over objects. A Killer that could climb through two story windows or pounce at survivors would be terrify

This might seem a bit silly, but rest assured, it's very effective. Enemy squads tend to react very strongly to the presence of a drone, culminating in one of two actions. They'll either shoot at it obsessively or immediately run away and try to lose it. These behaviors can be used to your advant

This recent controversy is problematic because it reeks of the manipulative practices we have seen from EA. These loot boxes are terrible for consumers, and rather than providing the items directly, encourage consumers to keep buying until they win the items they desire. These loot box mechanics are exactly what has governments up in arms as they seem to promote gambling to the target audience, which can range from underage youth to adu
