Re: DAE feel jealous when other games such as Fortnite do some things better?

@hayhor lol!  Well some people find the cartoon look of Fortnite way better.  I mean, I think I'm talking generalities.

But if Fortnite was skinned like Apex I honestly think it would take over.  Fortnite looks goofy and plays seriously.  I happen to agree with a lot of the OPs points, servers being super obvious, but many things beyond that too.  Such as where loot is in the game, and the way levels are designed.  One good thing Respawn is doing is rolling out levels, because imo the way their game works, they need to.  

Event skins, both lose in my book because they are nosebleed prices.  But I can't stop people from throwing entire video game money on just one skin, that's financial Darwinism at work.  If I were Fortnite and Apex, I'd see if I could bilk people out of even more money for less work.

Both games have always been rife with cheating with very little done on either games to fix it things & both have virtually non-existent report systems.But Fortnite does have at least  something of a learning curve particularly for newer & younger players whereas Apex doesn't have any other way but throwing players straight in at the deep end 'sink or swim'.I've introduced plenty friends & family over the seasons to Apex & most of them have quit the game either because of server issues but mostly because they just got fed up of being mismatched & stomped by players with other 1k kills or orchestrated pred teams even though they'd only played a hand full of games themselves.And yes without meaning to sound hypocritical I've always said to friends,family & anyone who'll listen that Apex is probably the best online shooter out there but for the reasons I mentioned ie match-making & servers it isn't a game unfortunately I'd recommend to new players as things stand.

Aesthectically is Apex a better looking game than Fortnite ? certainly not for me & as someone who plays both Apex &  Fortnite on the PS5 Fortnite benefits from the PS5 upgrade where graphics look a lot crisper & colourization a lot more colourful compared to the last gen versions.And it's the lack of colour (& next gen upgrade) that makes Apex look quite bland & making enemies at times difficult to spot.

@Redmattgame You know, now that I think of it, I somewhat agree with you.

If you can live with Fortnite's, big eyed, cartoon look with clowns, banana people, and supposedly serious soldiers (and Batman, and stormtroopers, etc.), and that sort of inconsistency, then I would say they are both better at their cheap 'green' skins and that they don't push loot box nonsense.

Apex basic art to me is much better in that it is more serious, each character is far more detailed, but the base chaff is awful.  Cheap 'gray' skins were clearly meant for you to invest time, and are dead loot box drops to encourage more money spending.  It's just that their top tier, gold skins, and their skins from FOMO special events tend to be better imo.

I've always thought you should just allow people to buy the skin they want, but when you are looking to milk people for money, you tap into their lack of gambling resistance, animal brain part and do loot boxes.

@Redmattgamerecycle the skin? so you have chance to get it in the next pack you open?
