I'm canceling my backlog for Apex Legends. Be back never

Riding on the coattails of World of Warcraft and Grand Theft Auto V is an incredible number of games that have adopted the live service model. Fornite and Apex Legends dominate our attention as my backlog of games suffer, and it appears the gaming industry is struggling to keep up as well.

you'll be back

[ClayRules2012]

Yep. They always come back.

[UnSelf]

i read every comment in here, and not one person explained what makes this game so great.

anyway, GTA - Motor Wars shits on every BR game in existence by far

I’ve not really gotten into a online shooter in a big way since BF 3, and I’m nuts for apex legends.

The movement, the gunplay, the different characters abilities and the price are some of the things that stand out for me. The time spent at the beginning the game looting is exciting, the gameplay of Battle Royale games is inherently exciting because the open nature means you can use many different strategies to tackle your foes. When you kill it’s exciting, when you when it’s super exhilarating, when you dies/lose you’re out of the game and into the next one in a flash. And the grind for skins for your weapons and favourite characters keeps you excited post game.

I’m a huge fan, but it won’t be for absolutely everyone. It’s free though so there’s no reason to not download it and make your own opinion

[fonduktoe]

I'm in the same boat. Love this game!

[Tankbusta40]

I'm sure not

[SegaGamer]

I don't think I have ever once bought into these fad games and I don't see that changing with this game.

[Artemidorus]

Is that because it's not 49.99 plus season passes plus DLC then repeat all over again in 12 months??

[SegaGamer]

No, why would you assume I want any of those things?

[ziggurcat]

I don't see how that's worse than the same, generic 10-20 minutes worth of gameplay repeated ad nauseam.

[Artemidorus]

Because people these days seem to think enjoying a game is using the wallet until they are bored and left with a bill to pay then get excited for the same process the following year.

As for repeated gameplay you could say that about any game of today.

[Seraphim]

I'd rather pay $50-60 up front than be inclined to spent $11-18 for stupid skins. As we've seen today EA is trying to milk this game by offering ridiculously priced skins. Now there's nothing wrong with free to play but sometimes those games can end up costing up A LOT of money. Even if it's only $1-5 a crack.

[TheSaint]

Show me one person that actually thinks that.

[Ricegum]

I've never bought into them either, playing a lot of Apex and I'm really enjoying it. Never paid a penny.

[RomanPSX]

Im enjoying the game too. I havent spent any money on it yet, I will when the season pass launches next month and I will buy some skins. If they support the game and spend money making it. We have to give back.

[Marioraider18]

Its a good game. You are just too triggered from Fortnite

[SegaGamer]

But I didn't like Fortnite either, I thought I made that point obvious in my original post.

[bluefox755]

It's EA, Even if they did release good games, I have too much self respect to support them.

[Marioraider18]

No one here is saying you did like Fortnite. Whats the point of your reply?

[SquillieDeeWilliams]

You should try it, it's really, really good, and its free99

[isa_scout]

You're to cool huh? Hipster....Lol

[SegaGamer]

You have that the wrong way around. It's the so called hipsters and cool kids that follow the latest trends.

[mandingo]

Truth

[conanlifts]

I dislike fortnite, pubg and other BR games, but this is good fun. If you like fps game at all this is one of the best available.

[Kornholic]

You're not missing out. It's like Titanfall without the fun. And I'm a big fan of Titanfall.

[Larrysweet]

all it is crap fad

[isa_scout]

I apologize you're one of those look at me I stand out, I'm special, kinda people. I have nothing wrong with that until you say you've never once bought into these "fad" type of games.You sound stuck up like youre unwilling to even try it because your to cool. If you tried it and don't like it thats different.

[SegaGamer]

You're jumping to conclusions like a few other people. I'm not trying to stand out at all, I'm just saying that none of these fads have ever pulled me in. That is literally all I said, how is that stuck up or seeing myself as something special?

And you assumed that I haven't tried any of these games. I have by the way and I didn't like any of them. This Battle Royale fad is the least interesting of the lot to me because it's part of genre I'm really not a fan of.

[X-Alchemist]

The the battle royal genre isn’t going anywhere man it’s here to stay. And alright mate, give yourself a pat on the back for not getting into ‘fads’. Don’t worry though, I don’t reckon you sound stuck up at all.

[remixx116]

Lol it seems like this comment of yours has pissed off the hipsters
