EA Killed Anthem By Launching Apex Legends The Same Month

If Tinder’s not working out, there’s OKCupid, JDate, Farmers Only or whatever niche site is hot right now. To find a duo partner, on the other hand, a person is limited to a smattering of random Discords and game-specific sites. Initially, you know very little about the person you could be squadding up with. Maybe they’re cool and your relationship will morph into something special. But also, maybe they’ll rage and break their computer the first time they l


The commercial teases a weapon rack, which is a new feature in the game. For the time being, it seems a new point of interest called Survey Camp will be the only place with weapon racks. They're meant to make it attractive to drop at an otherwise quiet landing area, according to Jason McCord , the Design Director on Apex Legen


Gibraltar's Defensive Bombardment packs a real punch when you are in a tight spot. Like with Caustic, Gibraltar's large size is a bit of an issue as he is an easy target, but that is why he has shields in his arse


It’s hard to know what to make of another iteration of Anthem . Certainly, people won’t flock to it in droves due to name recognition or a relationship with the franchise. Without that going for it, Anthem 2.0 will have to be a groundbreaking game if it wants to attract a fanb


In my own experience, outside of competitive play, it almost seems as though players' mains reflect aspects of their real-life identities. That’s not to say that all Revenant mains are evil people. However, they may, for example, see themselves as having a dark side they can express through this charac


ESFJs are responsible folks who love supporting their friends and thrive off of their efforts; considering that Lifeline is the closest thing to a support character, Horizon advanced tactics Lifeline is perfect for them. Lifeline may not be particularly strong or weak in battle, but she is essential to a healthy recovery between skirmis


It's possible the decision to release Apex Legends before Anthem was an intentional move to draw attention away from what EA knew would be a disastrous launch. Maybe in the weeks leading up to Anthem 's release, executives realized the game would be critically panned. After the beta period, players were quick to note how "broken" the game f


"The overlap starts to get less and less when you look at the kind of games that they are," BioWare's lead producer Mike Gamble told Business Insider's Ben Gilbert in the days leading up to Anthem 's laun

In fact, plenty of games EA has published are highly regarded by the gaming community. We don't have to look far back to see this, either. Games like Titanfall and Mass Effect have given gamers hundreds of hours of enjoyment from their amazing worlds or satisfying combat. Here are the 10 best games EA has published in the last decade, starting from 2010 till the current y


The combat is sublime, only held down by the game's lackluster sound design. The plot here is amazing for those who pay attention, easily beating Skyrim but not on par with Dragon Age . Classes are handled masterfully in this game as well, letting gamers play nearly any class or playstyle they can imagine. It's a shame this game never got a seq


It's impossible to say whether Anthem would have fared better had it not been competing Apex Legends . __ The two are very different games. One is a PvP game, while the other is an RPG with gunplay mechanics. However, they share similarities in that they’re both sci-fi FPS games that rely on gunplay and tactical strat


The combat here is solid enough, the art style is distinct and charming, and the writing presented here has a great sense of humor. Plenty of laughs from the game's absurd plot and satisfying combat are what players can expect when they try Deathspa


If someone told you that they spent the last few days questing to obtain the Thong of Virtue, you would likely call them insane. Yet that is what Deathspank is all about. This parody of typical aRPG titles sets players on an epic quest to find the Artifact, a bacon-looking heirloom with unimaginable po


In its original incarnation, Destiny wasn’t a great game. However, players stayed with it while the creators committed themselves to improving the game. The first Destiny went through a drastic transformation with The Taken King expansion. In Destiny 2 , which also had a shaky start, Bungie turned it around again with the Warmind expansion. It only got better from th


It also shows a quick flash of a MRVN billboard. This is interesting because Hammond Robotics created such robots. The image seems to reinforce the idea that MRVNs like Pathfinder are designed to be eternally optimistic, despite the truth of the circumstan


Respawn learned from their first game that singleplayer content was important for the longevity of the game, investing in a great singleplayer campaign while improving on the fantastic foundation laid out in Titanfall . Launching this game next to Battlefield 1 and CoD: Infinite Warfare was a death sentence, which is a shame seeing as how much better this installment is over the original. Hopefully, this game can get the attention it deserves with the recent success of Apex Legen
