How would anyone know who is gay or straight?

Like the characters just aren't sexualized at all. Are morons just assuming that if a character in the midst of a life-or-death shootout doesn't turn to the camera and say "I am homosexual indivual" then they're all straight??

Guys I was playing PUBG earlier and never in any match did any character say even a single word or in fact do anything but shoot each other.

smh at this display of cis-priviledge

I'm definitely one of the fools you're stunting on

It's really great though. I appreciate that even a crappy player can pull something off cool as hell like once a round and there's some genuine sense of satisfaction and contribution in killing NPCs if you really blow at the game, while really good players get to flex without getting dragged down by lame handicap mechanics like deathstreaks. It's pretty clever game design

It's a shame almost none of the things that make TF2 awesome carry over to apex

It's a really well put together game and the various abilities you can pick all have their own advantages and each one can lead to you pulling off something that will make you laugh and feel good. I still get killed by the odd NPC for doing something stupid though so I'm not going to pretend I'm amazing but the grapple fuckery you can pull in TF2 leads to some really great moments and due to it being a game you can respawn in, those moments are pretty consistently happening all the time. I particularly enjoy those grudge matches you get with a particular pilot in a match, the back and forth or murdering each other throughout in various exotic manners.

It's like someone finally saw what half life mods developed by teenagers were doing in 2002 and thought maybe it was a good idea to try that with their highly polished AAA multiplayer game, and I'm thankful for it

I don't pay attention to much gaming stuff these days but has any other game tried a similar formula to any kind of success? I remember Brink laughably came out like a couple months before Titanfall ate its lunch but that seems like all I've seen, especially with devs trying to chase that overwatch/fortnite money

i think battle royales are popular because of the loot chests stimulating the inner gambler in every gamer instead of having a default weapon lineup or simply being able to buy the ones you want what do you guys think???

I hate the game and most of all, the name they gave it.

I have no idea how a game type with so much down time to actual action is so popular but maybe you are right.

no dumb building mechanics.

cool and good ping system means no need to turn on voice chat (which has the worst codec ever anyway and isn't worth even trying).

Almost every game I single queue, no mic. Generous use of ping system. I get two team mates who are obviously grouped and chatting. I kill the people that kill them, rez them, and repeat. Then i get called trash by the guys who did 56 damage and 0 kills.
