Just tried it. First impression ain't that great. It's a bit confusing and the guns just feel odd to me. At least it offers something new to the BR genre. That said, I'm quite happy to stick with PUBG/Fortnite.

Indeed, the two things that annoy me most about BR are the time between games, and foraging at the start. It's like 100 samus arans drop into a battlefield and all lose their gear. I realised my biggest enemy in Blackout is lobbies and loading, far worse than any player. I spend 2 minutes getting the game, waiting in the pre lobby, dropping down, running around looking for armour....because the games a waste of time if you dont have it...and then I get killed. I'm not annoyed at the assailant, I'm annoyed I have to go through all the menus and waiting again.
Anyway, downloaded this, we'll see how it goes.

They played it before it came out, plus Shroud played like 20 hours straight release day.

This game is amazing. Its got style, it's got fantastic gunplay. I can actually snipe on this game. I never snipe. The characters are genuinely unique, representative and charming. 60 fps with no hitches during gunfights (on Xbox One X).
However by far what I'm most impressed with is the quality of life improvements they make that I wish they had in other BR games. Like when your character is shot at, he/she calls out to the team letting them know. There are vocal queues when you choose a drop location. Having a drop leader to guide the team so you land together. The ability to revive a fallen teammate, though risky, is an awesome mechanic. There's a shooting graphic on the player's name in the team list when they are firing. The games just blew me away. I honestly think this might be the best BR game made so far.

Having your compatible attachments automatically switch to the new gun is great.

On top of that this game is incredibly similar to blackout so a lot of streamers/tubers just integrated with barely a hiccup.

Lol, they are going to reveal a gay character before a white one.
Game looks fun and its hard to say no to free.

How can you guys tell what Bloodhound is? What do you consider Caustic?

You first get your shield by picking up a Doom style armor piece. You can also pick up helmets which I think just boost your defense? That part isn't really clear. When your shields run out you can use a shield regen to refill your bars.
You can drop weapons for teammates by pressing the start button (or whatever it's called these days... the middle right one) and moving to the thing you want to drop, then pressing X/A. It'll show a pop up with the prompts.
As far as I can tell, you automatically equip weapon extension if you have a weapon that works with them. Otherwise they get put into your inventory. If your inventory is full you will swap out the attachment for your current one.
Hope this helps.

By definition, that is able to burn or corrode organic tissue by chemical action.

I've been wondering what the staying power of this game will be. I feel like the speed could have a damaging effect on fortnite where that game may feel slow and could be hard to go back to. Tho fortnite isnt going anywhere I just don't see many female streamers getting into apex legends.

Umm...
I see it sticking around with blackout and fortnite. Every one chips away at fortnite but when you have AAA efforts like blackout and apex out there, that play exceptionally better than all competitors... PUBG gets hurt the most.

I agree. I’m pretty impressed and I hope it does well. Might make me replay some TF2 just out of respect.

If only my penis was as big as my GamerScore!
Is there a good resource for this game yet as far as gear is concerned? I'm still super confused on how it all works.

Respawn really make some of the best feeling guns in the gaming field. Especially on PC with a high refresh rate monitor, feels amazing.

I especially love how they specifically said playing with your friends across consoles, rather than just playing with random people on a different console.
Anyhow, I've been watching a bunch of first impressions videos, and here are two of my favorite so far. The first is from one of the most popular Destiny You Tubers, who intended to play a couple games, see what this was like, and then go on with his day. He ended up playing for five hours.
And Jim Sterling thinks that this is a very well-made game, and EA is a very bad company, much to the surprise of no one. If you hate EA and you like Respawn, you might enjoy hearing him talking about those things.

Angry Joe speaking to his 3 million subscribers: "This is now my new favorite battle royale."
And here's the most popular streamer on the planet:
If game developers ever needed the support from game journalists and traditional advertising, those days are gone. Twitch, You Tube, and overall game quality are making this a hit, no reviewers needed.

Happy for Respawn. Titanfall 1 and 2 were two underrated gems. They deserve a hit.

Not really, played casually on those 2 days and already got almost 12K for a character. By this time, people more into the game already got one or both.
The craft currency tho, that will be a pain. I have under 100, and some skins are like, 1200 or something.

There's already a thread devoted to this. Go post there, and leave this thread to people who want to discuss the actual game.

There's like four or five Apex Legends threads on the front page. It wouldn't hurt to consolidate a little bit.

I talked about how much I hate the look of some of the characters, and how I'd like more than just different colors of the same outfits, but I'm now thinking they're probably saving that for a battle pass type system once the game gets more popular.
If that's the case, I'll likely pay for the seasonal pass.
