https://stayclose.social/XARVincent7175339/ Latest updates from Vincent Dangelo https://stayclose.social/blog/6444/why-finding-a-duos-mode-partner-is-harder-than-finding-a-date/ Octane has a steampunk inspired skin full of gears, pocket watches, and a big ol’ honking Flavor Flav clock on his chest. His helmet is also reminiscent of The Rocketeer , which makes us want to go watch that movie


Electronic Arts get plenty of flak online for being a terrible video game company, releasing constant subpar video games to inflate numbers. However, They still make plenty of enjoyable titles, with Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order being a recent example of t


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


When your carefully-crafted duo team inevitably loses, there’s no blaming the random third player that was part of your team. The second that one player makes a risky move that gets them killed, the blame game beg


When compared to other RPG titles, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning lacks the polish and overall execution that games like Skyrim and Dragon Age provide. Yet Kingdoms finds a way to shrug off that lack of polish and focus on making a largely enjoyable open-world g


While not team-oriented in kit design (or personality), Mirage excels on the current map because of his decoys and his ability to disappear in a tight spot. The elevation changes make seeing exactly where mirage is difficult, so launching a decoy is a little more believable, especially mid-fight when the enemy is shooting anything that mo


It dawned on me only recently that the two characters with which I have the most wins — Lifeline and Wattson — are upbeat, helpful characters. Though unconscious, my choice to play these characters seems to be a reflection of how I see myself. Regardless of whether this is true for every Apex Legends player, it reinforces the value of developing characters that represent diverse backgrounds and worldvi


As an extra, additional bonus, this weekend will be a special Bonus Scoring Weekend. There will be 500 points of challenges available and those can be completed from 10:00 AM PT January 17 until 10:00 AM PT on January


Even if you dislike the gameplay presented in this title, the amount of genuine passion present makes this game such a treat to play, finally nailing the feeling of Star Wars that fans haven't seen in arguably a dec


Mirage’s ultimate is not only a good escape tactic but also can be used to sneak up on an unsuspecting enemy while your team engages from another direction. Mirage makes the top half because of his Sniper’s Mark ability to distract and maneuver around the enemy te


Gone are the days (for now) of trapping teams inside Bunker with Caustic traps. The open areas make Caustic’s speed an issue for teams, and the large buildings have enough escape routes to mitigate his effectiven


But what’s interesting is how Apex Legends is able to present itself as both a character showcase and a plot-driven narrative, using the battle royale concept as the story framework. Keep in mind how impressive this is in an era where some question whether games should bother to include narrative at


It is far more common for Octane to run away, leaving his teams banners behind, when the 3rd, 4th, and 5th teams show up to an engagement. Octane falls in the last place simply because his movement only benefits one person on the t


R-99 (SMG): Of all the small arms in the game, the R-99 is perhaps the closest players got to a near-AR-level weapon. Aside from having decent handling, the larger damage output of the R-99 makes it a great early-game weapon for fast-paced skirmishes involving Revenant, be it in short-ranged or middle-ranged encount


A walking tank, what Gibraltar loses in movement speed he makes up for in utility. In a wide-open field or the cities, his shield dome can save a team in distress. The combination of his dome and ultimate can push a team away or invite them into a close-quarters shotgun fight that Gibby will likely win with his gun shield act


Dead Space combined the creepiness that Resident Evil 4 presented with an industrial sci-fi setting that was rarely used back then. Dead Space 2 is arguably a perfect sequel. It improved on the clunky mechanics from the first game, improved the visual quality, level design, weapon arsenal, enemy design, you name it— Dead Space 2 improved


With void walking capabilities and Dimensional Rift at her disposal, it is not hard to see why Wraith ranks in at number two on a map that requires mobility. Gaining the high ground and escaping a disadvantageous fight is the name of the game on World’s Edge. Phasing out of danger or into a flanking position is where Wraith excels at the individual le
