This is AWESOME.  Arcadey, top-down hack and slash action.  The music is awesome too and was made by the same lady who did some classic game BGMs like Magic Sword from Capcom.

Everything looks great. If they just keep adding features to Apex and eventually add titans, I'd be satisfied.

I'm glad to see the camera shakes seen in the trailer I saw earlier aren't in the actual game (or at least in the settings they used here). Might sound weird but that was really turning me off when I saw it.

I think I'll play this weekend. I got it on Origin before I got an Xbone and later double dipped with that version to play with friends. Anyone knows if the Steam version asks for your Origin login?

Yes, the Steam version still uses Origin DRM. You play with all the same people through Origin no matter what PC version you have. No reason to double triple dip if you've already got it on Origin unless you want the Steam achievements and such too.

There's a few older EA titles on Steam that never required Origin, like Mirror's Edge, but for the most part EA games require Origin.

TF2 on m+kb is hard for someone like me who didn't grow up playing shooters on m+kb. Aiming is easier obviously, but wall running, bouncing from wall to wall, grappling around the map, etc all take some getting used to. I might just go back to the 360 controller. There were a lot of people playing on PC last night btw. Finding a match took no time at all.

Played some Apex on my Series X also. Has this game always been so colorful? The maps I played on were all new and looked amazing. There are also like 8 new characters since the last time I played. I still don't like these Battle Royale games overall since you spend most of your time running through a big ass map searching for better weapons and armor until a team ambushes you or you get ambushed by a team. Apex feels like a slower more grounded Titanfall though, so it's the least annoying of the bunch for me.

Well my only advice is to stick with it, I used to play fps on PC like Unreal Tournament, CS and Quake3Arena, but then I played for a looong time on consoles. But I guess I still played games like Hitman Blood Money on PC with KB/M.

Its more laid back to play with a controller, but KB/M just gives an added advantadge of precision. After a while it will become more natural than playing with a controller :). But I know there are a bunch of people who are really good on PC who play with a controller too.

Apex has seen a lot of changes. I kinda stopped playing after season 2/3? I used to play a lot on Xbox because it didnt work on my CPU (fuck you Respawn). I only started playing again at the tail end of Season 7. The Olympus map is amazing imo, a lot better than the other two maps visually.

A bunch of new legends too yes, I was hyped for Fuse but he's kinda meh. I also dont really like Rampart or Loba. I like mobility, so I really like Horizon heh. Ofcourse im hyped for Valk.

The EVO shields that Apex added are genius. You dont need to search for better shields so much, because the more damage you do, your shield gets upgraded. You even get a grey bodyshield after doing a certain amount of damage.

Thats why I recommend dropping at spots where at least 1 other team lands. I hate hot dropping though, landing where there are four/five other teams. That just seems stupid to me.

I can't think of another franchise that has three (four?) different studios working on both individual titles and also supporting existing CoD's.

Rockstar does something similar but it's usually for behemoth releases like GTA or Red Dead.

Ayyyy so the Etrian Odyssey games were on sale on the Eshop

I bought Etrian Odyssey IV
Etrian Oddysey Unchained or whatever the f it was called
And Culdcept Saga

I know Etrian Odyssey games are dungeon crawlers, but I have never played any of them.
Culdcept Saga looked interesting like monopoly with a TCG or something

Are theses games good or no

They were like 5 bucks each

The Etrian Odyssey games are all fantastic, although very similar to each other.

Culdcept is a neat concept (Monopoly meets Magic the Gathering), but the DS version is not that fun. Give it a try though, maybe you have a different opinion.

If you're referring to Flashback, the attempted "reboot" was horrible.  It's like they literally decided to use only the cut bloopers into the final game's cut scenes, it was so bad.  So yeah.. it could use some redemption.

Oh yeah I did get Culdcept Revolt, not Saga. Ofcourse there is a game called Culdcept Saga too 😅🤷🏼‍♂️

Yeah I basically went into the store, saw the sale date ended today, looked for user reviews on metacritic and bought them 😅 glad to hear its a 3ds game. Cant go wrong for a fiver.

Those aren't the exclusive moneyhats though.
That's just for free games which are usually available everywhere and old.

I'd be more interested in how much they paid each dev for the 1-year exclusive moneyhat on new titles like Outer Wilds, Control and Hitman III.

Dark Alliance remaster is nice and all, but no amount of visual touch ups will fix how boring they* actually are (and I've played them multiple times :doge ).

*meaning all Snowblind engine games, with the possible exception of Bard's Tale (if you're into the story and like the silly songs)
