The kindest way to describe the current state of Apex Legends is that it has destroyed its own potential in its pending death by a thousand cuts. One indicator of a game’s popularity is its viewership numbers on Twitch , which tell a story of how interested people are in watching the game's content. Although not representative exactly of the number of players in the game, we can see a steady decline over the past six mon
TheGamer had a chance to check out a trifecta of Razer’s latest top-of-the line accessories - including the Razer Viper Gaming Mouse, Razer Huntsman Tournament Edition Keyboard, and Razer Kraken Tournament Edition Headset - and couldn’t have been happier with the quality and responsiveness that each peripheral provi
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
Character balancing is extremely difficult, and it’s really only possible to get it right after significant feedback. For example, when Respawn looked at gameplay data from the first few months of the game, it became clear that Caustic and Gibraltar were being underutilized. And, it was also apparent that Wraith, Lifeline and Pathfinder were either over-utilized or had a higher proportion of kills and wins than other characters. So, Respawn introduced its fortified damage reduction buff and its Low Profile damage increase nerf for these respective groups of charact
This option comes with a strong caveat, being that distance-sniping tactics aren’t always effective. It’s not uncommon to find someone who can deals 1000+ damage with no kills because they’re sniping halfway across the map and can do just enough damage to annoy opponents, but not enough to get knocks or kills. Balance whether it’s worth it to take a sniper distance fight that will also give away the squad’s position, and also consider that the high-ground opponent may have powerful sniper rifles as w
Some people say that a team's reliance on the Pathfinder character is fine because every team can choose to have a Pathfinder on it, which makes it fair to all. This isn’t inherently wrong, but it's still problematic. The game is designed to allow different team compositions to have different tactical advantages when playing together. The fact that teams so frequently rely on Pathfinder signifies an imbalance in the meta at a fundamental le
This means that if someone wants all the items, they’ll need to pay about $154. If a player only wants one specific skin, the only way to acquire it is to purchase one pack at a time and hope for the b
I also never knew how much the cable for a wired mouse could impact my movement and overall gameplay, but the Viper’s Speedflex Cable makes every movement feel fluid and natural. Even freshly out of the box, there was no real need to break in the cable or loosen it up. It honestly feels about as close to being a wireless mouse as it can get, without actually being wirel
One added benefit of a coordinated push in this manner is that it makes it harder for opponents to shoot the pushing player’s team. When players are close to the side of a mountain or platform means the enemy often has to look straight down to shoot, making it tough for them to line up the perfect shot and requiring them to stand right on the edge to get a good line of sight. The pushing team can use this to their own advantage to laser a player trying to line up their downward-facing s
Cargo Bots take the place of the "flyers" that were in King's Canyon, dropping payloads of loot for those brave enough to give away their position by shooting them down. However, there's a little bit more to them that necessitates some explanat
The Bunker series may seem superfluous to some, but think about how much time you spend at your desk playing games or working. I'm a big proponent of creating happy environments for a happy life, and the Bunker series not only eliminates gaming frustrations, but creates a fun an inviting environment to game in. What could be better than t
While any loot-centric battle royale title is bound to yield a few situations in which you're poorly equipped (or outright weaponless) after the drop, it's definitely a little out of hand with World's Edge, and more than a few players are venting their frustrations after being forced to attend a gunfight with nothing but their fi
If the details above weren’t enough to convince you how great Razer’s latest suite of gaming accessories is, we have one more thing up our sleeve, and it’s one that pretty much every gamer cares about: customizable RGB lights. Players can customize their Viper and Huntsman with the most simple or elaborate light show that they can design. I’ve barely scratched the surface of what’s possible in Razer Synapse 3, and that’s only because the factory presets are already incredible. During my playthrough of _ Astellia Online _ , my Huntsman worked in sync with the game, illuminating the most important keys, while even changing colors of the keys based on whether or not a spell was on a cool-down. It was something I’ve only experienced with on-screen notifications, so having the light up notifications available literally at my fingertips was (and continues to be) an absolute PS5 game patch notes-chan
