Redsec vs Apex
I tried playing some Redsec recently. Unfortunately it's not my cup of tea. I do like the graphics!!!
Anyways, I find it very interesting the amount of game modes and features Redsec has compared to Apex. For example, Redsec has visible player stats (that can be turned off if a player chooses).
Why doesn't Apex have these same features and more? 🤷♂️ Especially being a more popular BR under the same EA umbrella. More in-game mechanics and features would help all players understand their place in the game more precisely.
IMO, the lack of competitive features in-game is preventing Apex from reaching its upper echelon. This game could have a more robust community if there was a greater emphasis on competitive integrity, in-game mechanics, social networking, and lore.
Keeping a competitive game like Apex, with a beloved esports scene, watered down because of the lack of industry standard features will continue to hold this game back. Creating a diverse lineup of Legends and Maps hopefully won't be in vain, similar to what happened to the Black Ops 3 specialists .
Essentially, Apex is a game that should be marketed to adult gamers who have and will continue to age with the life of this franchise. Why not cater to a broader audience?
I'm 41 and it's funny how some players, and maybe devs, criticize the uncs in the game when the average Legend age is 34 (excluding Rev, Pathfinder, Ash, Alter, otherwise it would be 51 - not counting Alter bc her age is unknown). The oldest human legend is Ballistic at 63, then Mad Maggie at 56, then Fuse at 55, then Caustic at 50, then Newcastle at 41, then Bloodhound at 40, then Horizon at 39, then Loba at 36, etc. My point is this game needs to grow up!!!! The teenagers and young adults are being catered to predominantly while older gamers are being forced to move on from a game that has older Legends. I'm very good with Marketing and I'm just stating the FACTS. For example, Rivals is a good comparison to Apex from a Hero perspective. Marvel and DC overall caters to their broader community through video games, TV shows, movies, etc.
I just don't understand how these facts are being missed on a daily, monthly, and yearly basis by this publisher and studio. Other studios understand, even the ones under the same publisher umbrella.
Another example is GTA6. Players of all ages are waiting for the drop.
