Fortnite is on track to earn $3.5 billion this year in revenue by often treating its consumers with respect, and Apex Legends could have taken a slice of that pie were it not so focused only on having consumers spend in the game through predatory practices. This kind of behavior can only last for so long before even the most devoted fans of the game decide that they have had eno

In Apex Legends Mirage is the Bugs Bunny of the group. His joking personality and willingness to always have a good time is praised and welcomed by several people. It also has a way of rubbing some people the wrong way and coming off as fake or disingenu

Whether it’s through a new character with special abilities that counter Pathfinder, or the availability of grapple guns as loot items, there needs to be some way to give other characters the chance to be on effective footing with Pathfin

Character balancing is extremely difficult, and it’s really only possible to get it right after significant feedback. For example, when Respawn looked at gameplay data from the first few months of the game, it became clear that Caustic and Gibraltar were being underutilized. And, it was also apparent that Wraith, Lifeline and Pathfinder were either over-utilized or had a higher proportion of kills and wins than other characters. So, Respawn introduced its fortified damage reduction buff and its Low Profile damage increase nerf for these respective groups of charact

It turns out that rummaging through things you shouldn't online could cause you to lose everything and everyone you love. He was hunted by powerful men, and, in turn, became something and someone his previous self wouldn't recogn

I’d make out with Mirage at a bar after a few drinks. I’d probably initiate the kiss because I find him attractive but I'd also want him to stop talking. And, while there’s a piece of me that believes we’d exchange numbers and never talk to each other again, it's more likely that he’d call incessantly, become borderline obsessive and then blow up at me on Twitter after I told him I wasn’t interested in anything seri

The first notable issue came in the form of an underwhelming, uninspired, and grind-heavy Battle Pass for its first season of play. Like other Ps5 Exclusive Games, their version of the Battle Pass contained 100 tiers of unlockable cosmetic items, but these were nowhere near the quality that one would expect from such a popular g

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

Once again, we need to compare this to Fortnite , the dominant game in the genre, which treats its consumers with far more respect. There is nothing random about purchasing items in that game. The item shop shows exactly what one will receive, theoretically leaving players satisfied with their purchase, and not let down at the randomness that comes with loot bo

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

I’m a fan of those big brain strategies. But I worry that kissing Crypto means the Solace equivalent of Interpol will come knocking at my door and I’ll be indicted for aiding some cause I don’t even underst

Shantel VanSanten is the woman responsible for giving Wraith a voice. VanSanten most recently has appeared as a recurring character in Amazon's hit superhero series The Boys and also had a role on the CW series The Fla

My parents weren’t fans of the boyfriend who was an active member of the Church of Flying Spaghetti Monster. So they’re definitely not going to like the one who claims she communicates with voices from other dimensi

Imagine finding out that the man responsible for turning you into his weird science fair project died before you had a chance for revenge. This is what Wraith thought she was going through at first before finding out his supposed death was simply a cover-up to protect his own l

As a result, many are now wondering if Respawn Entertainment is solely responsible for the Iron Crate Pack controversy, or if they are being heavily leaned upon by EA to adopt the model they have used in their ga

Character ideas might include an addition with something similar to Wraith’s portal. This could include height, and allow the player to reach places that they don’t have to travel to physically before setting the end of the teleport. To balance it against Pathfinder, it could be more limited in distance but allow height that rivals the zip line’s maximum vertical
