The Call of Duty games generally showcase immersive and intruging storytelling. The Modern Warfare series is, as a whole, clever and unpredictable, giving players the types of moments that cause their stomachs to sink or that bring tears to their eyes. Black Ops does this as well, doing so with creative weaponry that allows for diversity in gamep
The firing range has undergone a variety of changes from the initial game to where it is now in season 4. It is currently one of the most versatile preparation type modes in any Battle Royale game to be released. Providing a multitude of weapons, enemies, targets, zip lines, armor, grenades, healing items, legendary items and even the ability to experiment with each character makes this mode a functional "must" for any player looking to impr
Apex Legends was poised to immediately garner a large fanbase due to its status as a free-to-play game. Anthem , on the other hand, had a higher barrier to entry as it cost at least $60 to download and play.

Netflix's new series The Witcher , based on the popular video game series, indicates there's a strong market for live action series based on beloved games. While many studios have tried ( and largely failed ) with film adaptations, streaming television services tend to be a more forgiving medium. Budgets are typically smaller, and with that, productions are lower-risk than films, which seek recouped costs with large-scale theatrical releases. To date, TV networks have aired a handful of shows based on video games, primarily targeted toward kids or anime audiences. However, there’s been little in the way of live-action television adaptations of games for primarily adult audien
Take for example the legend Gibraltar, this character is a functional "tank" style character. Equipped with a powerful shield when firing down his iron sites, Gibraltar is an extremely durable character who can cover himself and his teammates. Coupled with his powerful bubble shield, Gibraltar is the first line of defense for his teammates and a useful support character for a sq
In contrast, Anthem had no fan base to start with. EA didn’t give it room to develop one. For all the criticism of Mass Effect: Andromeda , people were still talking about it. Even as a critical flop, it had little impact on people’s feelings about the franchise as a wh
Regardless, EA must accept responsibility for the fact that it failed to give Anthem the chance to find its audience. A quick glance at Twitch prior to publication of this article shows nearly 19,000 people currently watching Apex Legends . Anthem pales in comparison with a measly 37 view
