Seems like a good middle ground between Fortnite and PubG. No silly building like Fortnite, nor big price tag like PubG. Its a solid F2P BR game made by a good set of devs responsible for some quality FPS games. What more could you want?

I also hear the lootboxes are cosmetic only, and EA had no hand in building the game. Although i doubt EA would miss a chance at their own Fortnite, so if Apex gets big, i wonder if they will start fucking with it?

Sad part is that apparently the matchmaking forces you into a team? Id rather just play solo.

yeah it's been really fun so far, there is only 3man squad games but you can fly solo if you want... but its still everyone in the match in a 3man

anyone saying titanfall 3 died for this is fucking uninformed and i will explain why later after i finis hthis game

ok so:

-respawn were the ones who pushed for the release date of titanfall 2 to compete with cod - after it was locked in they got word that battlefield was releasing close by but it was too late (and ea had said "hey its probably a bad idea to release now" when they asked)
-respawn have been working on apex legends since before the ea merger - like, since nexon was in talks with them

anyone who tells you ea cancelled titanfall 3 to pump out a f2p br game is either intentionally misleading you because EA BAD, or they are also misinformed

we managed to win a game with a collaborative 21 kills and were shown as the champions for the next game it was pretty neat.

we fuckin' got beaned by some twitch streamers with 400 kills afterwards but seeing our characters on the banners was cool.

not much i can say beyond "stop liking things i don't like" i guess
oranges wrote:needs four person squads I dont' wanna drop a friend
trios are better don't @ me

understandable i guess, though, i never had people consistently on at the same time for 4 man games so we'd always end up one person short which i fucking hate
Karp wrote:lol this is putting money in their pockets for titanfall 3
it would be a no brainer

they have massive critical acclaim with titanfall and apex legends is making them fuck loads of money and generating lots of goodwill - i still think titanfall multiplayer is doomed to be relatively niche no matter what anyways but that's a different story
Spoiler:
the movement mechanics are incredibly fun to use and learn... but it's like arena shooters where people with experience absolutely destroy new players and they have no chance

as fun as it is to slidehop across the map after grappling a corner and moving 400mph before doming someone with a kraber it's not fun to be on the receiving end when you don't even know how to build momentum by sliding off ledges (that works in apex btw)

in titanfall 1 the smart pistol/attrition were attempts to give more casual players half a chance to contribute by killing grunts but the smart pistol was DESPISED because people can't move behind cover when they get locked onto so i'm not sure how respawn can keep players who aren't as skilled from moving on to new games

imo this is a contributing factor to games like overwatch being successful - movement mechanics are stripped down to recharging abilities so it's easier for less skilled players to feel cool while not actually having to invest time in learning a more complex movement system. that kinda sounds like elitism but i genuinely think it's true

also hey who cares about any of this shit

last night i played with two pubbies, one ran ahead, died, and d/ced and the other was clearly new - but even without him communicating we managed to kill people and survive to the end, where i found a drop with a mastiff in it - we were in the tunnel west of arsenal and the last 3 guys tried to smoke me off and kill me, but between the pubby being bloodhoud and being able to see them anyways + me being a god i killed them all and managed to win what i thought was a losing game

god bless you random silent guy who would follow me if i pinged something

i just had a not great one, but it was two people who had never played before and were also loud as fuck - first time i've had actually poor teammates out of me playing for like a week straight

this game makes not having a full squad tolerable, somehow
Lumbermancer wrote:It's alright. Some sketchy performance for me tho.
yeah it's been strangely all over the place for me - I've never dropped below 80fps but lots of fluctuation above that? I turned on adaptive res scaling though because the dips are often very short so I can stomach a frame or three of lower resolution if it means smooth aiming

if i do fullscreen and i tab out 2 or 3 times my sound starts fucking up and it plays super late and freaks the fuck out of me making me think we're being shot at still after a squad elimination and i hate that

i still get crashes but updating my gpu drivers helped

I don't get what's so special about it, it's still a battle royal game and it's a first person moba - the two worst things to happen to FPS gaming since hat collecting and locked on melee kills.

First person moba - hey don't blame me, I didn't come up with the term. I know it's a dumb misnomer but it's what people refer to FPS games with characters that are special snowflakes with special abilities - like Overwatch.

Edit: to the uninformed mongoloid who made this thread theyve openly said they ceased production on titanfall 3 to continue making their f2p BR

everyone sperging out over origin launcher I've literally never have a problem with it. like omg its not steam its bad!!!

here is what I did:
  1. https://www.origin.com/usa/en-us/store/download
  2. install
  3. open launcher
  4. search apex legends
  5. add to library and install
  6. play
I've never clicked or been bothered by anything with origin launcher there aren't even ads or anything in it. It's open for the time I play apex legends or titanfall 2 or whatever I have on there and then ended. whats to gripe about besides a blu blu its not steam??

I feel like people who are bothered by different launchers are the same kind of people who use searchbar addons on their internet browser

not you iksyp

besides the titanfall stuff (never played it anyway so idc), it's pretty good. two wins since i started playing friday, one each day i played. both time were with my friend and a random. first time we got carried by the random and i stole the last kill, second time the random died within two minutes and my friend and i got about equal contributions.

i absolutely hate getting the alternator smg, trashiest gun in the game except for possibly the p2020 pistol. some people say the prowler smg is bad unless it has auto but i kinda like it even in burst mode. sniper rifles seem kinda useless to me on console since most battles happen close range, or both sides immediately close the distance to make it close range plus everyones sliding and running around so its hard to hit people.

if they did some balance on the snipers i think theyd be better but otherwise its p fun, i think itll keep me entertained for a month or so.

i totally forgot about that one. id take it over the alternator because i have an easier time getting kills at the start of the round with it but yea its still not good.

honorable mention to the eva shotgun which also sucks. it needs a faster rate of fire before i consider it automatic tbh.

i just wish that not everything did 2 damage

also seriously why is there such a lack of visual or audio feedback for when you're wounded
99% of the time i'm at low hp i don't even notice it because there's literally nothing but your health bar to tell you it's low
