Nintendo is being v. cautious about crossing the microtransaction line for their console lineup. Just a few kids stealing dad's credit card away from a pr crisis, not that it's stopped anyone else

I for one am glad Respawn gets to try to make something new.

How about instead of crying that it's not Titanfall 3, we give the good developer the benefit of the doubt and hope for the best?

I will be trying it out soon.

I mean, maybe? But also even if they felt pressured to make this game, it doesn't change the fact that they have proven their ability to make fun first person shooters. Sure Battle Royale is very flavor of the month right now but that doesn't mean the game can't be quality.

fyi you're asking whether Nintendo has the capability of doing an online game where a hundred people battle each other at once

the most players they've ever had in an online game is what, 4v4 with splatoon? it's not their core competency

This one time, during the height of development on Lawbreaker, he spent an entire day on Twitter asking his followers to stalk and harass a woman. I imagine the people working under CliffyB were massively embarrassed to have to associate & work with him.

It's a battle royale with respawns. Say what you will about chasing a trend, they are at least attempting something new.

Yeah I enjoy PUBG and Blackout. Actually played a poo poo load of pubg in early access but never really got any good.

I miss when The Culling was popular. I liked the emphasis on melee weapons. It led to a lot more mind-games.

I've actually begun a new playthrough today on the Ps4 after quitting on the second stage a while ago. Make sure that as soon as you're done with the tutorial you buy the Skill that knocks down foes with 0 stamina with a strong attack.

Also, you're ridiculously fragile, defend a lot and never attack someone that is defending unless you have a big rear end Axe.

Unruly Heroes, and it's more like Rayman Legends than Vanillaware because it's by the same devs/artists and they basically recreated the UbiArts style in Unity

Personally, I'd say the Living Water skills are even more of a priority than getting grapples. They let you Ki Pulse while dodging which is just humongous in terms of enhancing your tactical mobility. It's also worth keeping in mind that blocking is much stronger than in a lot of other action games. While it does take ki, it blocks all physical and at least half elemental damage 360 degree around you.

And I disagree with that bit about defending. If the enemy's ki gauge is low, it's totally worth switching to high stance to try and break them. Axes are best at doing it but Odachi and Tonfa are also much better than most people give them credit for against blocking opponents. In fact, finding the right opportunity/timing to guard break human opponents is a very good tactic generally.

Titanfall's BR spin-off thing is a very solid CODBO4BR ( :shepface:

) rip-off but I don't like how you're forced to play in a squad. Hopefully they'll add a solo mode eventually.
