OP is a little out of date. A new one will be provided for season 8 in February. Apex Goons Discord Released in February 2019, Apex Legends is a hero based Battle Royale. Yes, I know, you're already tuning out, but this is made by Respawn Entertainment, who despite their lack of wide market appeal made the superb Titanfall 1 & Titanfall 2. While this game doesn't inherit everything from those games, it does inherit great gunplay, beautiful environments and smooth mobility. The game is Free2Play. The two MTX is cosmetic based (skins, animations, etc) and hero character buying (unlocking the ability to play Mirage or Caustic, at time of writing) based. They've committed to it remaining cosmetic/character unlock only. The Cast Each character has 3 abilities, a Tactical, a Passive and a Ultimate. These are pretty self descriptive. Your Tacticals are frequently off cooldown, your Passives happen automatically, your Ultimate takes a while to charge but has big punch.

The muscle memory from Titanfall 2 is really messing me up in this tutorial shooting range. The Flatline not having a horizontal spread is weird and offputting.

Played a bunch of rounds this evening. Apart from some server hiccups at one point, it was immensely enjoyable, from the perspective of someone whose dipped their toe in pretty much every BR. Gunplay is what you'd expect from Respawn, and the dynamic of the team, TTK and the ability to respawn makes it more palatable to me then PUBG or Fortnite were in a lot of ways.

I'm digging what little I've played so far. I bounced off all the other BR games, but this one might stick for me. Probably helps that I loved Titanfall 2, but didn't get super serious about being a parkour master.

There are so many smart decisions with this game from the UI to how you drop to showing you attachments you have are better to being able to call stuff out that IMO it's already far and away the best BR game. Bookmarking this thread.

Maaaaybe I would try this, but putting character unlocks behind grind and/or money is a no go for me, especially when EA is involved. As time goes on characters are going to be incrementally harder to unlock without ponying up cash, mark my words.

Bummed about TF3 but I dig BR so I'm looking forward to giving this a chance tonight. As someone who learned bumper jumper just so I could aim while wallrunning, I'm gonna miss TF2's acrobatics

Liking the game but the map is big as gently caress for 60 people. I know it was already addressed that they did this so we could have it on consoles but there's a lot of dead time even if you're actively trying to find people to kill.

I’ve really struggled to get into BR for various reasons but I’m enjoying this. As a solo queue/no mic player the ping stuff is incredibly useful. They really did a good job with the in game communication tools. Maybe I’ll finally “get” the genre now.

Outside of the disappointments that come from it not having more of Titanfall 2's stuff, the main issues I have is one that is a consistent issue I've had with Battle Royale games, it's too easy to die, and too hard to kill anything, also the weapon selection is really bland, they should have included some of the Grenadier and Anti Titan weapons in here

Those characters don't look that great visually. It looks like a mix of Evolve and Borderlands but worse. Robot guy and center girl look okay, but hopefully it's just a case of "hey we plan on making money via cosmetics so base characters can't be great" instead of indicative of dev team's capabilities.

Apparently per Giant Bomb they used the phrases Season One and battle pass so they're absolutely going that route, which tbh I don't have a problem with.

Definitely gonna miss parkour. Took grapple my first round out and the very first thing I did after spawning in was grapple to a wall and reflexively tried to wallrun. It was fun enough, though. TwoDice posted:how is it too hard to kill things and also too easy to die I put 5 eva rounds or so into someone from a couple dudelengths away and they were still standing. My aim wasn't that great, but when I ran EVA Stim it killed fairly reliably fairly quickly from that range

TwoDice posted:how is it too hard to kill things and also too easy to die As in you are made of cardboard, but your guns generally do poo poo for damage, so it falls into the old thing of who sees who first rather than anything resembling actual skill(with some tweaks depending on who has the faster shooting bullet hose)

Your mobility is much more limited than in Titanfall, so you cannot rely on getting in close for meatshots or jumping like a crazed monkey to avoid damage. All about cover and timing your engagements.

I played about 10 matches on PS4 and uninstalled. It's a carbon copy clone of Blackout, which I'm tired of, so maybe that pushed me to delete it. It just feels like what I'd expect a free to play BR game would feel like. I had a more lengthy review typed up but basically it's really clunky and awkward. The HUD is far too big, the weapons all feel samey and fire like poo poo. I kept running into issues where when I was shot at I stopped being able to move or I was downed instantly even with purple armor. I expect this to go the way of Titanfall: Assault within a year.

I feel I'd be a lot more forgiving of it if the movement was just less loving sluggish. It's so frustrating to want to run somewhere but have to wait 3 seconds for your character to get a running start. So many times I've been shot at and tried to get behind cover but wait nope gotta wait for the signals to reach my legs for my character to actually move. The movement inertia and slowing down when getting shot at it just killing the whole thing. Take the wall jumps, take the bunny hopping just give me something that isn't just the lawbreakers equivalent of fortnite.
