I’m sorry you missed out on the earlier seasons, but I’m happy you’ve found the game! I’ve been playing since cb1, so I can’t imagine what playing as a brand new player feels like with the player count and resulting matchmaking pool we have now, and am kind of impressed that people aren’t bouncing off after trying out a few rounds.
This seasons battle pass was definitely mid at best, and I think part of that was due to the shorter season. Season 5 looks hype though, you’ll have some fire shit yet!
Something about it just clicked for me, I think the movement and rewarding lateral thinking. I could immediately feel BF Bad Company and 2142 in the first match I played, so much so I looked up who the lead devs were and was not surprised they had been at DICE forever and bailed on the shit show that was 2042.
My friends have definitely bounced off of it, but I've encouraged them to keep going (after I got gud) and they all seem to really like it.
I just love that the combat loop is so tight. It takes the most exciting element out of Apex Legends, getting thirded, and makes that the main focus. Then throws out all of the boring shit in a battle royal like gearing up or having a teammate that's dead for 20min while you navigate the circles. Also games are the perfect length if you've got a busy life.
And then the gadgets, as I said before they add a lot of lateral thinking. You might be able to outgun me, but maybe I can put strategize you. Combined with the destructive environments it's so freaking fun.
Tbh, I think it's the best FPS on the market. Definitely my favorite in the past decade.
I will edit and actually respond to this in a bit, but brooooo if you’re not watching any of the season 5 preview streams there’s a tv head in the store for Christmas and it’s playing a fireplace on screen!!!
That's all I want
