However, others have taken the Epic Games exclusive deal because of the possibilities that open when receiving an influx of cash. Ooblets is a perfect example of a small company that greatly benefited from the cash Epic Games offered at first, but the result was a backlash of negativity online against the practice of exclusive deals. With each announcement, for Indie games or larger developers, online reaction has been similar in a show of frustration against Epic Ga

Based on my Xbox data, it appears the top one percent of players still put in almost double the time of even those in the 98th percentile. Theoretically, the 98th percentile has spent half as much time in the game and would therefore still not be quite as good as the top one perc

If your date goes well, it may even end with some hanky panky. But the duos session with a random teammate you found on Destiny Tracker is more likely to end with you quitting because his kid is screaming in the background and he doesn't seem to understand the purpose of his mic's mute but

Connor is one of the most iconic androids of all time. He is arguably the best protagonist in Detroit: Become Human, as he is more fleshed out than the other characters in the series. This detective investigates numerous cases featuring deviant androids, with players deciding whether he strays from his programming or decides to follow what his creators

As a writer, Hagopian may have entered the world of battle royale games unsure of his purpose. But given the tremendous amount of fan support for Apex Legends over the last year, one would hope he has fully realized his purpose by

The big names to take exclusive agreements with Epic Games have been Borderlands 3 , Shenmue 3 , Metro Exodus , and many more. Following the release of each game, there seems no indication that sales have been hurt in the proc

Prior to an era of Netflix deals and streaming opportunties, actress Felicia Day helmed a Dragon Age webseries , which recieved mixed reviews . But now that people are consuming media in new ways, it could be worth it to try again on a bigger scale with seasoned fantasy genre writers and bigger budg

There’s no game franchise more ripe for a live-action television show than The Legend of Zelda . The series has more than enough material to adapt into an episodic program as Link explores all of Hyrule. Through quests, puzzles and beautiful storytelling, it would be surreal to tune into Netflix to watch our protagonist set out to take on Ganon over several seas

The following is full of assumptions and made-up but easy-to-understand numbers. The goal is to illustrate the math driving the SMBB argument as there’s no accurate game data publicly available for these calculati

But The Walking Dead proved the world loves a good zombie show. A game series like CoD: Zombies provides a ton of material, which someone like J.J. Abrams could helm with a mix of suspense and terror that people have come to love. And, while not always extremely coherent, the intersecting timelines and high-stakes decisions that comprised the Aether timeline are worthy of a spot on Netflix’s programming sl

The Fallout universe is full of threats, and many NPCs within the game are terrified of Synths. Synths or synthetic humans were created by the Institute to look and act like humans. Many people within the Fallout 4 world are terrified of Synths and their creator, the Institute. The hysteria around these beings is blown out of proport

The majority of people complaining about SBMM seem to be in the top echelon of players. Their complaints are valid. But it’s important to look at this as a mathematical challenge. The reality is that without SBMM, even middle-of-the-road casual players have an extremely high chance of being consistently matched with top players against whom they don't stand a cha

Truly random matchmaking allows so-called "pub stompers" to cannibalize less-skilled players. And, as annoying as it is for top players to constantly have to square off against other sweaty players when they're just trying to have fun with friends, it's also demoralizing for lower-skilled players to have to face off against pros and keep getting beaten over and over ag

The sheer number of decisions players can make as Connor is mind-blowing, leading to some tense moments as players try to play the game the way they want without any compromises. Regardless of the trajectory they choose for Connor, he'll stand out as one of the best video game robots that players can cont

An evolution of the characters and scenarios set up in the Titanfall series, this lore-rich battle royale features a diverse cast of characters with unique motivations and backstories. The Apex Games bring them together as they form teams of three to fight to become the Apex Champions. Their fight for glory is full of sci-fi action, spy operations, mystery and mystique. While there’s plenty to explore in Bloodhound’s dark past or the life-altering experiences that led Bangalore to join the Apex Legends Guide Games, we’d also be happy with a sitcom exploring Mirage’s search for love... and the perfect pork chop rec
