Official Apex Legends - EA Battle Royale Thread

[kr1kit]

Has anyone seen this new BR from EA? A Titanfall style BR, Shroud and all of them are currently playing it on Stream and this is the first I've heard of it.

Jackfrags just released a gameplay video with his impressions.

[bartosh]

Not even going to take a glance at this. BR from EA. Absolutely not.

[kr1kit]

Fun fact. Top companies like EA for example pay streamers thousands of money to play their game. So if you see any playing thats why.

And I'll download it if I read that it worth the download.

I'm well aware of sponsored streams you silly boy. I was simply stating that they are currently playing it and that it's the first time I've ever heard of or seen the game.

Just lmao no thanks

[FuarkRyan]

EA Servers not even once

[Soonerjohn]

Hadn't heard of it before today, downloaded it and played.

Very well done for a game that just came out. Was surprised.

Will play again tomorrow.

[mgftp]

I know Respawn makes good games but it's just not my cup of tea, looks like Halo mixed with Overwatch BR, lots of gimmicks. Appears streamers have been paid off by EA as well as some even list themselves as Apex Partners, lol.

It's FREE.

But I do know that Jack gets that EA money so I took that vid with a grain of salt

[Max1mu5]

$20 skins and lootboxes

no thanks jeff

[anonymous]

I'll try it when it gets a solo mode, not going to squad up with randoms on the ps4 when everyone I know whos playing it is on PC

[wisdommaster1]

reminds me a lot of Isles of Nyne in terms of the pace of gameplay

[gwem32170191]

not even once

[InVentive44]

Not bad so far!

[skinnyFAT91]

So EA went back the 2010 brown graphics era and made fortnte brown with no building. Nice EA, nice.

[Csnauk]

Seems alright, struggling a bit as my middle mouse button is stuffed but pretty fun like the idea.

[Soonerjohn]

Looks like that with F2P and graphics they want as many people as possible to have access to it.

Played some more last night with a full squad of friends. It was fun. It isn't a game I see playing fulltime, but something to play casually. Full f2p with microtransactions only being cosmetic, so can be as casual as I like.

[freeburn]

It's fun as ****. Everyone is hating itt, but it's free... It's from the Titan fall devs... And while it wasn't very popular tf2 was a fun as **** shooter.

Played all night last night and had a blast. Its only 3v3 at the moment but I'm sure they'll add solos and duos.

All the loot boxes are cosmetic... Why do people complain about this... Don't like it don't buy... The game is free

[BabySuaz]

Played it last night. Was astounded that it ran so well even though the first I've heard of it was yesterday. The graphics looked stellar.

The game has characters with abilities which creates more of a skill gap between squads. My friends and I won our first match on our 3rd game played with 11 kills. Will def play again.

[Dan_S]

Played it like 90 minutes last night. Had a blast.

Not sure why you all are so adamant about not playing just because it's EA.

You really think Solos is viable with the class system?

Because EA is the worst? Free to play game kinda takes a lot of that out of the equation though. If it looks like something you'd enjoy not sure why you wouldn't try it for free even though it's EA.

Yes and no. None of the classes seem overpowered, abilities aren't really game changing as much as they are just kind of helpful.

[dcbone30]

It seems polished, character locked before paywall + pushing the loot box just not my thing especially with the class system in place even if its balanced. The verticality/mobility doesn't appeal to me either. Got killed a couple times which just reminded me of CoD BLOPS where someone just leaps off a wall behind you before you even see them.

It's fine but I guess I'm pretty happy with the standard/realistic BR like Ring of Elysium - a few mobility packs and non-tiered (white/blue/purple rarity) weapons, its easy to know what weapons you like and get to fighting. I'm sure if I played a bunch I could get to that point but almost burned out on BR's at this rate.

If you like Ring of Elysium you're already lost.

Why?

[BearyManilowe]

Why?

The game plays terribly. Your character feels like hes moving through molasses. The shooting doesnt feel fluid, the map is bland. It just doesnt feel like a good game. It's got a couple good ideas but it's just not a well made game.

The worst thing about ROE is the servers. They are dead. The games move slow because they aren't full. That's my experience at least.

[freeburn]

Roe feels sluggish af. Even just aiming to me felt weird as hell. Like it was impossible to snap shot someone. It felt like a big lag between my mouse and the game. Couldn't play it cause of that.

Apex is way better tbh

[mgftp]

Calling ROE sluggish is basically just saying you prefer a more arcade style of game, not everyone wants to go running at hyper speed, kangaroo jumping and flying through their BR game. Having a more simulation style of movement doesn't make a game bad because it's not your thing, many prefer it.

"Respawn producer Drew McCoy told Eurogamer that Titanfall 3 wasn't happening in a blunt manner.":

The world thinks we're making Titanfall 3 and we're not — this is what we're making. To try and convince a skeptical audience for months with trailers and hands-on articles, we're just like, 'Let the game speak for itself' — it's the most powerful antidote to potential problems. We're doing a free-to-play game, with essentially lootboxes, after we were bought by EA, and it's not Titanfall 3. It's the perfect recipe for a marketing plan to go awry, so why have that — let's just ship the game and let players play.

lol

But ROE isnt a simulation style game (see bikes, hang gliders, etc) it's just not very responsive control wise. Had you been talking about say PUBG as a simulation style game you'd maybe have a little more ground to stand on. ROE was a game caught somewhere in the middle with good ideas, lack of resources, and poor implementation. What we ended up with was a BR with IMO one of the better "collapse" features and piss poor character control, responsiveness and gameplay. Calling it sluggish isnt saying you prefer an arcade style shooter, its pointing out that currently the game performs well below standards in today's gaming market from a responsiveness and gameplay standpoint.

[rocketfish]

based on gameplay video's i've seen from streamers it looks to be fun and they've enjoyed it.


so far it goes back to gameplay > graphics, but i've reserve my judgement til i get to play it.
