Apex Legends' Fall: Respawn's Fault Or EA's Bad Practices?

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

The SLG game DLC differed from other Battle Royale titles in that players were grouped into squads of three, with diverse classes that demand strategy and careful consideration of playstyle, and weapons that were far more accurate than in other games. As a free-to-play game, Apex Legends looked as though it would skyrocket to the top and remain th

Ultimately, players that can secure the high ground within a closing circle can benefit from better vantage points, shot angles and cover. For instance, a player perched on the mountains to the east of the redeploy balloon at Slum Lakes can spot opponents from just west of Containment all the way through the tops of the houses across Slum Lakes. Because of view obstructions, players situated in lower ground positions will have a harder time spotting opponents and tracking locations of enemy squads, making them ill-prepared to spot and track their opposit

According to this logic, loot boxes are beloved for the surprise mechanics they provide, and not for the items within. It is this kind of ridiculous spin that drives consumers away, but EA does not seem capable of learning their lesson on the matter, or, rather, they choose to ignore the calls for cha

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

Most problematic was that the Battle Pass lacked the creative challenges seen in Fortnite , which make acquiring tiers quick and fun. This meant that, in Apex Legends , the only way to level up was to play the game over and over again with no specific plan in mind. The grind was real, the rewards were unappealing, so few bothered to continue as a res

Though his career may have started with his mind in the right place, he was ultimately driven mad. It's unclear whether he has always that way and it finally came to light, or the exposure to the chemicals severely affecting his brain functi

While the options in this scenario tend to reflect play style choices, the reality is that exposing the squad across the terrain is a sure way to draw attention. Consider that a Kraber can knock a person in a single shot, and that taking the time to heal them leaves a team member availing themselves to another sniper s

Recently, EA set the morality bar lower than we ever expected when Kerry Hopkins, VP of EA’s legal and government affairs, defended the use of loot boxes to the UK Parliament’s Digital, Culture, Media, and Sports Committee. Hopkins stated that "it’s like many other products that people enjoy in a healthy way, and like the element of surpri
