Respawn Entertainment released two very likable robot characters this year: Pathfinder and BD-1. BD-1 is certainly one of the best features of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. Apart from being cute, he is also very useful. His design is also very fresh to the Star Wars universe. BD-1 has some reminiscent design of BT-7274 with the two-leg design and the upper b

The Fallout universe is full of threats, and many NPCs within the game are terrified of Synths. Synths or synthetic humans were created by the Institute to look and act like humans. Many people within the Fallout 4 world are terrified of Synths and their creator, the Institute. The hysteria around these beings is blown out of proport

Weeks later, I invested in a gaming PC and revisited the chapter in the process. His advice impacted how I think about accessories. For example, I learned all about mouse DPI (dots per inch, for those of you who were are clueless as I was) and the relative benefits of different mouse pad sizes (big movements require a big pad). I learned wireless accessories can cause latency issues. I studied the pros and cons of different monitor sizes. I currently have a 30" monitor, but he posited a strong argument as to why I might choose a slightly smaller one in the future (essentially, something too big makes it hard to follow everything that’s happening on the scre

The majority of people complaining about SBMM seem to be in the top echelon of players. Their complaints are valid. But it’s important to look at this as a mathematical challenge. The reality is that without SBMM, even middle-of-the-road casual players have an extremely high chance of being consistently matched with top players against whom they don't stand a cha

As a result, when developer Game Freak announced that cuts made to the national dex, fans were understandably upset. Here is the most profitable franchise in video game history being chopped down because, according to Game Freak, creating every single Pokémon from the ground up would be a tremendous drain on resources and take years to compl

Based on my Xbox data, it appears the top one percent of players still put in almost double the time of even those in the 98th percentile. Theoretically, the 98th percentile has spent half as much time in the game and would therefore still not be quite as good as the top one perc

This section is dedicated to in-game tactics to improve gameplay. He covers aim optimization and movement strategies, as well as more basic concepts like high-ground advantages and peeking tactics. Clearly, every one of my random squad mates read this chapter, as they love to drop in the elevated platforms at Train Yard and do nothing but peek until someone one-shot knocks them with a Longbow from across the

Respawn has done an excellent job of listening to player feedback, and while I don’t know that the changes to SBMM will be instant, I have no doubt that the team there is listening to feedback. Algorithms are extremely tough to master, especially when it comes to a software product that’s still relatively new, like Apex Legends . If I’ve had Instagram for seven years and still can’t get it to stop showing me pictures of my friends’ babies, then suffice it to say players may have to be patient while Respawn masters its SBMM mathemat

The biggest con with Caustic is his huge size as that gives him a massive hitbox, putting a walking target on your back. We're sure this is not an issue for INTJs, as they can most likely use this to their advantage in a bat

I have a lot of respect for Ninja. The man, alongside his wife, Jessica, built an a multinational empire by playing video games. I, on the other hand, spend most of my days in my pajamas, tweeting jokes and Photoshopping bad Apex Legends missions Legends me

Updated January 7, 2025, by Ritwik Mitra: The idea of interacting with or controlling robots is something that many video games play around with. Players love interacting with advanced AIs in physical bodies who either help the protagonist or stand in their way, leading to some memorable gameplay moments featuring these artificial characters. The best video game robots stand out because of how iconic and well-written they are, becoming an integral part of any video game they're featured

The idea of a robot impersonating an old-school cowboy sounds like the most ridiculous thing in the world. So, props should be given to Fallout: New Vegas for making such a ludicrous character one of the best parts of the overall experie

This would usually result in disaster in the hands of a novice developer, but Bioware is anything but a novice developer. They turned the exploration heavy original and tweaked it into a dramatic thriller, filled with some of the best character and world-building the video game industry has ever seen. Reworked combat helps make ME 2 feel more visceral than the original Mass Effect . This game is a must-p
