So I got bored of the online action very quickly (yes, okay, I got killed a lot) but I wish there was sign that Respawn were using all their success to make a passion project of some kind, i.e. It’s set in the same universe and there are a few robots in it but, really, it’s almost nothing. I already knew the game didn’t really have any ties to Titanfall but I wasn’t prepared for it being that unconnected. I gave Apex Legends a go for the first time yesterday, finally giving in to curiosity as I’d been a big fan of Titanfall 1 and 2. The whole situation is madness to me but there’s no point fighting it as the battle was won long ago, and anyone that doesn’t like it lost. They have to keep the other people happy, or otherwise the big spenders have got no-one to show off in front of, but that’s all they’re good for really, an audience. That’ll still only be 0.5% of the playerbase, at most, but that’s the reality of free-to-play games, they’re not made for the majority, they’re made for the tiny minority that spends ridiculous amounts of money.

I mean, a new skin that costs that much, how many do they have to sell to make their money back? Assume it takes an artist a day’s work, even a week, they’ll have thousands upon thousands of people buying these so the numbers absolutely make sense. Their cosmetics that add nothing to the game and somehow there is always someone crazy enough to buy them. If Blizzard are looking to charge £35 for cosmetics, or any price they want, I don’t see why they shouldn’t. Perhaps the joke will be on them though, if Call Of Duty continues its decline and ends up being a dead duck instead of golden goose. I also doubt there’s any chance it won’t go through, considering the amount of grease Microsoft can put on the wheels. Personally I don’t think it’s a great move, just buying success like that, but I can’t pretend it makes me angry or anything. Lara needs to stop being a killing machine and become a real person, and that’s going to be hard to do if everyone’s running around playing a co-op game.Īm I the only one that thought Sony came across as a little desperate with that Call Of Duty comment about Microsoft buying Activision? Basically none of the other publishers particularly cared but Sony realised that one of their big marketing deals was about to disappear and Microsoft has its hands on one of the biggest games ever. I think maybe there was a sort of boyfriend in a couple of them, Angel Of Darkness in particular, but none of it ever stuck and neither did the gaggle of non-entities in the reboot trilogy. All these decades and she’s never had a memorable villain or a love interest.
