For the longest time, multiplayer gaming in India revolved around cyber cafes. A regular weekend plan (or weekday, if you decided not to attend class) would consist of you and your mates heading to the nearest LAN gaming parlor and spending the day playing Counter-Strike, DOTA 2, or whatever said parlor had installed. For most of the country, that was the extent of online gaming. There would be intermittent waves with games like League of Legends, but nothing took the mass population by storm quite like PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, especially the mobile vers

To me, where Apex Legends truly succeeds is in its strength of character. That is to say, its diverse and robust cast of eclectic player-characters are unlike anything else in the genre. Fortnite‘s characters are colorful in the same way that '80s cartoon characters are, but they lack personality or depth. Meanwhile, PUBG’s got some military gear and overpriced Suicide Squad costumes that look like they’re from Party City’s bargain bin. Warzone? More like snore zone. Against this limp competition, Apex has the edge by defa

Fall damage makes logical sense. After all, it's possible to suffer an intense sprain or broken bone from something as simple as tripping on the sidewalk. Gravity can be one of reality's greatest villains. So when a game is aiming to be as realistic and authentic as possible, having severe, painful consequences for a high fall is a perfectly reasonable design cho

Here's the thing though: reality is stupid. While it's certainly true to life that a mistimed fall will lead to injury and perhaps death, that doesn't mean it's fun. Fall damage has never been enjoyable and always hinders how you can play a game. So it's time for game developers to thumb their nose at Isaac Newton and eliminate fall damage once and for

Wraith has crucially useful access to the void with her portals, teleporting her teammates long distances in an instant. Seasoned Pokémon players are no strangers to the difficulties of catching an Abra for the same reasons. Abra is known to teleport away from trainers at its first opportunity. If Pokémon trainers are lucky enough to snag one, Abra also grants them the ability to teleport to the last visited Poké Center, quite similar to Wraith's access to a previous location in Apex Legends via portal. Needless to say, the other Legends better keep their heads on a swivel if Wraith and Abra ever team

To make it simpler, PUBG Mobile permeated into Indian pop-culture the same way Fornite did in the USA and other parts of the world. Before we understand why PUBG got so popular, there are a few things we need to understand about the country. India is a primarily mobile-based country with 97% of users running Android . The advent of budget smartphones like VIVO, OPPO, and MI has not only increased the accessibility to smartphones, but also widened the gap in Android’s fav

Speaking of Bloodhound, there are few environments that this Legend can't see through. With their tracking abilities, Bloodhound can communicate enemy locations to their team through smoke, walls, and earth. In similar fashion, Noctowl's eyes are keen and sharp. According to its Pokédex entry in Pokémon Ultra Sun , Noctowl's eyes " can see in pitch-darkness " and " it never lets its prey escape. " There's quite literally nowhere a Legend could hide from this team. The blessings of the Allfather would indeed be upon t

Gibraltar is sturdy and strong. He needs a strong assistant at his side for the games! Blastoise brings the weight and the firepower to live up to Gibraltar's reputation. At the speed Gibraltar runs, he needs a heavy Pokémon that won't leave him in the dust either. Blastoise may look scary and tough, but underneath that shell is the same Pokémon that was once a cute Squirtle. Not to mention Blastoise would get a huge kick out of Gibraltar's protective shell he throws down as a tactical abil

Update 9.1 also adds the new map, Paramo, which features an active volcano and flowing lava across the landscape. It's also partly procedurally generated, so the new PUBG map feels different every time you play. However, because of the ever-shifting nature of the map, it's located in a separate matchmaking pool called Seasonal Match. Wins here will not count towards your sta

Lifeline is one of apex e district map Legends most useful characters with her healing and reviving abilities . Her care packages provide near-immediate assistance for her teammates and can easily change the outcome of a fight. Delibird, also known as the "Delivery Pokemon", has its own care package in the form of a tail! Delibird is known to carry " food rolled up in its tail, " and " It has the habit of sharing food with people lost in mountains, " according to several Pokédex entries, including _Pokémon Black & White

Then you have Bloodhound, the non-binary espionage expert. It’s a cool way to put a non-binary character in a AAA game, I feel, because whatever perceived "gendered" physical characteristics they might have are obscured by a gas mask and bulky clothing. Their appearance is calculated very deliberately to be genderless and ambiguous, which is a great artistic choice. Oh, and let’s talk for a second about Gibralter. Here's this goofy and sweet beefcake who's gay and doesn’t have some sort of sad backstory about it. He’s not cuckolded and sad like Soldier 76, whose story echoes literally every Hollywood movie ever written about gay men that’s not called Moonlight, or if he is, we don’t know about it. That’s rad as h
