Ooh glad you like him! I really like the ability to stack 2 grenades (like is season 1....) and spam them across the map as well, and thr tactical can be handy in a pinch as well.

I enjoy this but playing alone can be infuriating, I'm in no way 'good' but just the basics of BR like, sticking together and identifying targets is lost on most, it's more annoying because identifying targets in this is easy but I have to either guess what my team mates are firing at or they leave me and run off, usually AWAY from the circle and end up dying when it closes... I play ranked, but like Rocket League, I'm getting nerfed by my own teams rank. As I said, I'm not amazingly good or anything but the gameplay and parkour are so enjoyable I'm willing to learn more.

I rarely enjoy playing this game by myself. It's so much better with a full mic squad.

Why does switch get gyro aim but not PS4? :?

As for randoms, I tend to have the best success when I assert dominance and order them around with a lot of pings.

Sure sometimes you have to write off games because your team mates are just selfish or bad, but in those scenarios I tend to just see how many revives I can get off or some other goal. I'd say I get a competent team about 50% of the time.

Played a few rounds of Duos just now with a friend who is also a noob. We actually got a few kills! I'm sure we're playing against other hopeless people, but it felt like we were getting into the swing of it a bit.

The gunplay in Apex is very satisfying. Good gun-feel.

Hooray! Glad you're enjoying it and it feels like you're improving.

It definitely does match you with people of roughly your skill level regardless of whether you are playing ranked or not but unfortunately it goes by the rank (level if unranked!) of the highest person in your lobby so playing with me put you at a disadvantage (for now!).

Hopefully you've learnt some tricks and strategies that you can use to stomp on the noobs though! Like training at altitude.

You still sticking with lifeline or branching out at all?

Looking forward to giving the switch version a go - may use that account to help people new people learn the ins and out of the game (plus will be cool to have gyro aim - would like them to bring this to the ps4!)

I've played a couple of rounds as random characters but I think I'm going to mostly stick to Lifeline until I have enough fun money dollarydoos to buy Loba. I've heard she's not necessarily the highest-tier hero but she sounds really fun to me!

Loba is a good choice! I don't usually play as her but I'm never mad when I have a loba challenge to complete. Really handy for ensuring you're always well equipped and her tactical is really versatile.

I'm always happy to have a loba in my team, haha.

Two games with aayl1 yesterday. Two wins. :msgreen:

Also, Switch launch today I believe. I'll make a cross post in the Switch thread. The console could do with some games. (That aren't from the Wii U or a JRPG)

We should migrate GRcade to Flarum. :toot:

:datass: Love seeing those Gibby Ult Kills

Looks like the update and likely the switch release launches at 6pm GMT (10am PST). I'll be streaming some Dark Souls to the GRcade channel tonight but might get some games in later on (v down for a sesh tomorrow night though! Looking forward to trying out the switch version and gyro controls.

Edit: sounds like the switch release won't be til 11pm our time - they're releasing the patch + caustic event first, at 6pm.

Use to play this when it first launched but got quickly fed up with it, as the map for me was too big and all I ever did was wander around most of the time. That's why I really enjoyed Rogue Company, it's short and action packed matches.

But I'll certainly download the Switch version and give it a go. How many gigs is it?

The Switch release might tempt me into giving this another shot but I've tried a few times and not really got into it. I think ultimately I'm just a grumpy solo bastard who doesn't get on with modern online games!
