game it a few matches, uninstalled it. I got no patience for this shit anymore, i don't get why everything has to be a Battle Royale nowadays. Seriously fuck Ninja, fuck Fortnite and fuck copycat developers. I just want a tight twitch shooter on small maps that isn't COD or Counter Strike that isn't dead. Clearly this is too much to ask. I won't lie i did enjoy Ring of Elysium briefly though.

The game just released today and they already have a road map for new content that goes until December.
Support won't be an issue.
Wow this is really good, super stoked, a great surprise. How this was kept under wraps is impressive.
This is also gonna save EA's stock price once Anthem bombs. Cannibalistic yes, but the two releasing so close probably isn't a coincidence. Apex will have all the headlines to mitigate any Anthem fallout.

I fixed it. Use the following instructions: Modify your ethernet connection to custom, but leave everything as is except for DNS. Put 8.8.8.8 as primary and 8.8.4.4 as secondary there. It worked for me.
Having a ton of fun with it. My only problem is the sniping isn't as satisfying as PUBG. Hitting a 300m headshot with a Kar98/M24/AWM in PUBG is probably one of the most satisfying things in gaming, but the faster movement in Apex + "lamer" sniper guns don't allow for that to happen.
Ah well, the abilities are awesome and add a lot of depth and variety to how combat situations play out. The QoL makes the game so much more accessible than something like Blackout. Plus the mid and short range combat is so good. Never feels like you died because of desync or some other BS reason.
The other thing is just how damn polished it is. No glitches. No BS. No loading garbage. Super fast load times. Easily the best FPS-BR game out right now and I'm surprised the LFG number on Xbox wasn't higher.
I think this is the FPS-BR game that everyone hoped Blackout would be and I think it's going to do extremely well because of that. Hyped!

Titanfall 2 had some of the best post launch support I've ever seen. Not worried in the least.
Somebody needs to log all the post from various threads declaring this game was DoA for one reason or the other whether it be no titans or wall running... This game has endless potential with all the things that could be added with the addition of new legends. I cannot stop thinking about how good it feels, plays, and looks on both pc and xb1x. I just wanna log more hours and get better.
As an aside, is it possible to play the game without opening the origin launcher or having it open the whole time? Like if I require the origin launcher to launch it with my ID can I exit the the origin launcher after the games loaded without worrying? I know this is something that could probably be tested extremely quickly but I just havnt remembered to try anytime I've been playing and it will be a minute until I get another opportunity to try. I also exit the epic launcher, after I launch fortnite for example, and that doesn't usually present issues as long as I'm signed in on the game before exiting the launcher.
I just don't like the launchers sitting down there in my task bar with their overlay functions I always turn off. Im sure it barely eats up any resources, but if it results in even a single frame being lost, I could do without it if possible. I know I'm likely just being naive but I'm also the same guy holding out hope gamers all make the switch from discord back over to ventrillo one day...just so I can save those tiny bits of processing power 😋

Like most FPSs, I suck at this one too. Still fun to play. Played 4 rounds and couldnt get a kill but dealt a decent about of damage anyway. I'll try again tomorrow. I wish I didnt suck so bad at FPS
Playing on PS4. Feel free to add me and mention that you saw me on ERA. Battle Royale games never clicked with me, until now.

Take it from a person who loves slow shooters, Insurgency Sandstorm is what you need to look into
Had no idea what was happening and died in the first minute
Just like Fortnite, I gave it one shot and it didn't grab me, oh well

You're nuts dude! Last game of the night we won basically single-handedly thanks to our Pathfinder. The added mobility he gives the entire team with his ultimate is invaluable. Thanks to beacons we were able to stay ahead of the circle and set up camp before other squads rolled into town. And put a sniper in his hands and he can rain down on people from wherever he wants. He's very capable of controlling the pace of a team fight in the right hands.
I'm trash at this but it seems well made.
The "hero" element seems superfluous though since most enemy types don't register from a distance when everyone is clad in the same "futuristic shooter" armor that doesn't stand out from the environment. It's not something I'm thinking about when playing, but I imagine high level play, you want to be thinking of how to react to different class-types.

I'm watching Shroud play and the game is pretty barebones right now but the gameplay is really tight. The special abilities open up some really interesting teamplay mechanics and the gunplay is as punchy as you'd expect from the makers of Titanfall.
The visuals don't have much personality right now. The aesthetic is a mashup of Blackout and Overwatch and Borderlands and just doesn't stand out next to something like Warframe, where you can tell exactly what game it is from two seconds of footage. Heroes need to have much more defined silhouettes, especially with all the mirror matches.
This kind of launch can also spawn a new generation of streamers who can make a name by being really really good, and it's promising that the gameplay looks to have a lot of scope for mastery.
Fortnite has shown that this kind of shadow-dropped barebones release can work, as long as the game receives regular updates to keep players engaged, and give content creators/streamers a good reason to come back every week. I feel like every other BR game apart from Fortnite struggles with this, so we'll see if they can deliver on this promise.

I'll give this a try on XB1 but according to Eurogamer, it has four monetisation systems and three currencies, which to me seems like way too many and a complete mess.
The way they've implemented the loot boxes seems better than most games that feature them, but still. Four separate paid systems seems too much.

really wish this was solo...i think id enjoy it more. Put me in the camp that doesn't think this will survive. Its not better than Blackout, so anyone that wants a good BR game is playing that already. And the ppl that want a free BR are probably playing Fortnite. I can't imagine too many non-titanfall fans liking this enough. Who knows. Im wrong about tons of stuff tho. The shooting is great. The maps great. All the new QOL br stuff is great. But idk...everything else just seems a little inferior.
Regarding new heroes, they seem cheap enough. My two hour gaming last night netted me a bit more then 2000 legend points (or what they are called) while the heroes cost 12 000 points.
Played a good 6+ hours, done for the night lol. Great game, much better than every other BR. Love you Respawn.
Thread subtitle should have been one of Gibraltar's "brother" voice lines, or one of Mirage's "bamboozled" lines.
if there's anything i can trust Respawn with, it's making a shooter that feels great, and wow did they deliver. in a gaming landscape where BR games feel unfinished and still in ''beta'' this game launches and feels complete, from the movement to the gunplay. GG Respawn!
Here is my impression from yesterday again from the other thread, was super impressed with the game and I had such a crazy and intense finale in my last game, good luck trying to top that. These final 2 minutes had everything and were just insane.

Two things people haven't seemed to notice...
1. Holding the jump button down allows you to climb up surfaces/walls.
2. Holding down the touchpad on PS4 or Options on Xbox One allows you to text chat with your teammates.
Both very useful and totally underutilized!

Oh wow, a BR I actually like. The gunplay is just so damn satisfying lol.
Been playing with randoms and no mic since mine's appears to be broken, but the ping system helps out *A LOT*. I'm not sure a solo mode would work in this game, but hey, I'll try it if they add it.

Cool, now check out this guy and his BS without even playing the game:
Crazy, right?
I have some time tonight to play, I am happy that this seems to be quite good (despite not having Titans). Well done Respawn.
I gave the game another try this morning after not really feeling it yesterday. The game got much better after finding people to play with using the group function on Xbox. Even won 2 matches. Playing well and winning really depends on working as a team.
Part of me wanted it to be more like how Titanfall was, but those games still exist and I can go back to. This is the game that made me appreciate battle royale games.

Speech to text is on PS4 as well, but I've not tried it yet.
Sniping feels really good on this, and I never really took to that on TF2.
Most of my time was spent using the CAR, and occasionally I'd do iron sight Triple Take.
