    I never officially quit Apex, but life got in the way like 3 years ago and my playtime fell off a cliff. Each time I try to play again the average player skill curve gets higher and higher and it’s just harder for me to have an enjoyable experience. Minecraft has been my staple since having a kid because I can step away at any moments notice and not have to forfeit a game or lose any progress.

    My biggest quandary/issues with Apex. Is cheaters and that the game has started to feel more and more like a giant cash grab. As a day 1 player of Apex it just feels like EA cares less about the players themselves and more about the players wallets and how much they can squeeze out of us. Which is horrible considering the state of the economy and how bad most people are struggling nowadays financially. Its pretty scummy IMHO.

    • @JKennyPro
      @JKennyPro Місяць тому +7

      If the finals kept the alpha/beta movement, it would've held players better due to hard-core and memers wanting to do crazy movement. The movement isn't as smooth as apex but in the alpha and beta the movement was absurd to arcade levels and if it leaned into the arcade shooter more I think it would've done better. I personally played a crapload in the first season but the game lost me when the movement felt like there was no skill-gap and expression to an extent, that tied with the rewasd problem most of that season, heavy nukes not being adjusted for the entire time made me give up

      I think he is kinda just referring to when you have a straight line of sight which I wouldn’t entirely disagree with. With Apex it sometimes is understandable because the opponent has red shield and you have a white extended mag. Whereas with the finals it always feels like you are using the whole clip if you are perfect aim which just feels off.

    You know what game would destroy Apex? Titanfall 3.....the game that died for Apex's sins. Titanfall 2 had the movement everyone wanted, modes outside of BR, and most importantly servers. TF2 servers were 60 tick. Apex being on 20 tick is inexcusable. Fortnite and PUBG's success made Respawn/EA want to get in on it.....but instead of making TF 3 and adding a BR mode they doubled down. As an ex player and day 1 player I don't miss Apex and pissed that TF2 is still a better game. TF 3 could have been what FPS needed.

Unfortunately, the matchmaking system has driven me away. It feels like the algorithm is designed to keep players hooked, not to match players based on skill. The constant fluctuations between tough and easy lobbies are frustrating and unfair.

    I started playing apex when it first came out 😭 When arenas was removed I stopped playing as much. When I would try to play again I had no clue how to do the new movement and everyone was just overly sweaty, whenever I played I’d get killed so quick LMAO it just made me not want to play. Apex has changed so so much I don’t know if I’m bad or if I just miss how apex use to be and I can’t let go of it 😭

    I could never come back to Overwatch.
    Blizzard announced Overwatch2 with a big koop PvE mode. Then we waited multiple years for them to cancel it right before the release date.
    I don't mind there being only 1 tank now or new modes. The problem is with that update they changed their Game Strategy from "Developed for Players" to "Developed for Shareholders".
    They made every skin stupidly expensive when it was easy to obtain in Overwatch 1. They released a battlepass that I would rather call Scampass. In the first battlepass you could only get 1 skin when you bought the premium pass.
    Many of these changes have still not been reverted- so I'm not coming back.

    It was a cold, dark, winter night. I was playing Apex Ranked and I was on that sweet succulent masters chase. 7 hours later, I got it. It felt good...for about 5 minutes. I spent so much time grinding and trying to prove to myself that i can be some of the best of the best for this game...and for what? I was genuinely and quite literally, physically and mentally tired of this game. So I switched to more casual games and it literally felt a weight pressing down on my brain was being lifted. The first of the games that caught my attention was Warframe. It provided and actually rewarded me for my efforts and I didn't need to play for my life each round. So 800 hours and $2000 dollars later...I quit apex pretty much altogether and started to feel something video games haven't made me feel in a long time...rewarded.

    I missed the poll, but I've started playing Cold War. It has a lot more freedom when it comes to moving (not per say movement) in contrast to Apex. In addition my sprinting in the game works fine whilst in Apex my sprinting just doesn't function correctly. I also found that having no damage numbers and seeing the health bar is much easier to fight with than just guessing roughly how much health the opponents have left. There is also the fact the servers and engine run much smoother than the one on Apex (the servers are still shit when joining friends, but not nearly as bad as Apex servers). Cold War is more enjoyable casually than Apex so I'm not bumming Apex, I'll most likely come back when they fix a major part of their game like they should've done ages ago.

    Sea of Thieves is the one, the problem is you don't truly unlock what SOT is all about until quote a whole into the game. On it's surface it's getting sunk and following maps to dig up treasure. After many hours in though, you begin to understand how much fun the community can be. It's really the freedom of interaction that foes it for me. My friends and I have pulled over other ships as the Sea Police only to be paid off with a couple chests to let them go. Hid on people's ships to draw weiners on their map. Filled our galleon with eight pirates just to absolutely scare the crap out of a sloop my all boarding them at once. Then making them play shanties with us. No game that beautiful should let you throw a bucket of vomit on another player to blind them in a sword fight, but it does and I love it so much.

  • @scofrona
    @scofrona Місяць тому

    My recent grind has been Valorant. Ranked system is WAY less RNG than a battle royale, skills building has a direct upward path, cheaters are more frequently addressed, and significantly more diverse community b/c of consistent moderation and marketing.
    The thing with Apex is I love it, but I can't squad up much anymore. Part of that is how my high account level (515 or so) forces friends who are new or aren't as good up against master/pred/smurf accounts. My friend who has played pro and grinds high ranks runs into the same cheaters regularly and you make non-zero videos about the cheater issue. It's hard to get friends into a game where half the lobby are people who play 5-8 hours every day who will kill you without you knowing how, and wait to be rezzed just to die again, only to be left with a screen that taunts with how little damage or experience they get with no clear progression system or goals (since cards are all cosmetic unlocks). The skins are limited by the rendering engine and art direction, plus way too expensive for someone who only plays casually. Playing solo is fun but at that point single player games also exist.
    To be clear I don't think people are leaving Apex because they don't like Apex. Every year there is more competition in the multiplayer space, there's a new flavor of the month game that their favorite creators are sponsored by or trying out for fun. I really want to try XDefiant but I also haven't convinced myself to download the ubisoft launcher yet. People also want to play games with their friends and it's easier to play a new game where everyone has the same knowledge level, instead of the one friend who is too good or the enemy teams who have 1500 hours already.
    I think if Apex wants to build player trust and interest again, they would need to make an "Apex Legends 2" level update. Recreate the experience on a more modern engine with improved base shaders. Source was great, but its age is showing. The high level of server vulnerabilities, pretty outdated audio system, and notoriously eating up processing power even at low settings. Most of the people who built the original back-end for Apex aren't even at Respawn anymore, which makes retroactive fixes a lot harder. Plus, EA needs to incentivize players with something other than $200 skins because the only people who have those are the sweats so it's not even fun to see them.

    Before the start of the year I played every single season except from season 1 and 2 (played preseason tho) and got more than 2k hours at this point. This year is different tho, as i simply havent played the last 3 seasons. EA is imo only looking for money, trough introducing another ingame currency etc. and doesnt care about really providing a good game with a proper ranked mode etc. EA has to change immensely id say to get apex back to it beeing as hyped and good as it once was...

    My answer to your community post, and maybe a suggestion for the second channel, is Rocket League! It really scratches the competitive itch for me, the skill ceiling is INSANELY high, but you can also just hop on and goof around in a few matches. It's easy to dismiss as "arcade car soccer" but if you put a little bit of time into it to learn the flow and basic mechanics, it can be one of the most replayable games in your library.

    I Stream on TikTok mainly, i first started playing Apex on stream but i QUICKLY burned out. (this was like 2 years ago). I decided to go back and stream classic games that i grew up playing. It ended up being the best decision. now that i have a solid foundation i can periodically go back and play apex and just have fun. I think its a testament to how good it is that it is still even around, given all the other live service games that have come and cancelled since 2019.

So yeah, unless they fix their goofy ahh game and revert the battlepass system, i'm not downloading it again.

    The problem of Apex is that they take out the fun game modes, like arenas. And solos.
    BUT THE NUMBER ONE PROBLEM, is stupid teammates. I played 5 ranked games, and in each one, exactly the same. A dude just splits off the team, and randomly just full dives a team solo, and then complains that the team is crap. No communication. No team play. Just plain dumbness...
    And its not like from time, to time. No. Its every single game like this.
    And then maybe one out of twenty i get teamates that actualy kinda stick together, look where the others are. And we actualy get some placement points...
    So yeah. Its a team game. And the random way to get teamates just leads to alot of frustration. Everyone likes to play a different way. And its normal. And it creates alot of problems if you put 3 people in a team, but all of the have completely different idea of what are they supposed to do... Its basicaly unplayable right now...
