It is awesome! Glad to hear people are trying it. 80 players would be better suited on the map I think so I hope they can do that sooner rather than later. Or 81 or whatever since it's 3s.

Impressive! Didn't enjoy existing BR game so far, but perhaps I should take a look at this one.

Me waking up: Who? Where? What is going on?

Doing some research: It's a F2P BR game from Respawn and EA? WTF?! Where did this come from? Why didn't I know about this?



I guess Anthem is dead now. I'll give this one a spin.

First I've heard of this game! DLing it now on PS4!
I played the heck out of CoD4: MW and MW2. Hope it's as good (or better)!

Pretty crazy stats. I watched some vids and it's a nice looking game. Battle royale is still incredibly boring to me though due to aimless wandering and repetitive map design. It's not something I'll ever play myself, even free

I am not a big fan of BR games and I had fun playing around. I really hope this does well for Respawn.

It's gonna take a dip from this for sure. But for BR games it's still essentially the only dog in town on Steam so it'll be fine just for that alone.

I'm not really sure, I think it's still going to chug along just fine. If anything it feels like this is going to take away from CoD if anything. Gameplay is definately more similar to that game compared to PUBG imo. But who knows... that's just my guess :P

I think this proves that the months/years of marketing/coverage/hype surrounding games are unnecessary for a game that doesn't rely on pre-orders.

You can just drop something like this out of nowhere, and with the right marketing surrounding it, boom!

I'm sick to my core that we're not getting TF3, given TF2 is my favourite SP campaign this generation. But if I base this game on its own merits, it's fun and supremely polished, and feels great. So kudos to Respawn all the same.

wonder if this will affect Anthem...

Congrats to Respawn - can't wait to try it when I get home.

Most impressive thing about that is that there were no server meltdowns

Especially after TF2 bombed and didn't make enough money to justify a 3rd Game which made Respawn consider dropping TF and make instead a game that so far seems hitting the right notes with the current mainstream taste.

The "Fans" or the lack of them are the reason in the first place there is no TF3.

Evidence suggests Respawn themselves are responsible. By all accounts the reason TF2 failed was due to being sandwiched between BF1 and CoD. Recently it was revealed that Respawn had insisted on that release date.

Only had a chance to play four or five games yesterday, but it was very good. If the first impressions endure, it probably just killed Blackout for me as the best BR. I think it may already have killed Blackout for my friends.

Seems to be a great game that I'm terrible at, going to stick with it as it does feel satisfying, though I am getting some weird shakiness/stuttering even when I'm at a solid 60.

I'm still thinking about the game and want to continue playing after work.

Not even remotely close to it. Still the most popular BR game and will continue to be, especially with PUBG Lite coming.

I had no idea about PUBG Lite, seems dope. But why testing is Thailand only? Is the game/genre big there or something?

I always play solo but I can't imagine playing solo in Apex. They've done something amazing with the squad/ping system here. I can't believe I ENJOY playing with randoms.

It's a really great game. I just kinda wish the island was a liiiittle smaller so encounters happened a little more often.

So.....

What's a 'BR' game and what is Apex Legends? Not a racing game then? I am completely in the dark here, LOL

If it was gonna happen it was gonna happen at the surprise launch

Not everyone is going to rush to log onto a game that is shadow dropped. If anything, you'll probably get less people on in those first 12 hours than you would if you were to announce that it's coming out later this week so people know exactly when it's coming and log on as soon as it's up.

I played Fortnite for a week and that was my experience 90% of the time. I won a match by not seeing anyone until the very end and picking them off. Didn't find it very rewarding.
Same for'me It's annoying to play 20m wandering around and in my experience to get one shot at the end.

I want to love this kind of game but I'm very bad I guess

That's great!

But how many players are the same as others? That's the real test of popularity!

(nah I get it, just seemed funny on the initial read)

Now they just have to support it tenaciously. Lots of balance updates and content on the reg just like Fortnite. So many games fail in the support so if they can get that down this game will do really well.

Maybe I need to give this another go, I uninstalled it after one game and then went back to Tekken.
