Screw this game
Screw the whole thing. First you dont actually count my kills and stats. Then when i do a crazy kill streak you disconnect. NOW when i open my pack it does the animations gives me Epic and Rare and...
I think Apex is great for a while. But long term, it hasn't panned out to be what people hoped. It filled a gap last year nicely for me. A gap left by otherwise broken "live service" games. Given that two of them were EA games (BFV and Anthem), my guess is EA doesn't want to risk messing with the success of Apex...at least not until their other big name titles can turn things around.
Still I was at the burnout state on Apex last December. Since then, I've been mostly playing other games, checking in on Apex for events and new season starts. I might have barely played half of season 4, and I almost entirely skipped Season 5. I think that's a big reason I've enjoyed Season 6 so far. I'm no longer invested in Apex as my primary game. It's something I check in every week when the challenges cycle. In the meantime, I've been enjoying other games like Jedi Fallen Order, the excellent updates to Battlefront 2 and Planetside 2, returning to older games like TitanFall 2 and Overwatch, and playing new titles like Fall Guys and soon the Avengers game.
@RustedYodawhat's funny about that? They added Supremacy, Co-op, Instant Action, new maps, and new units all within the last year or so. The co-op is the best I've played to date, and you can play as either dark or light side on each map. Supremacy and Instant Action is the conquest gameplay people wanted from DICE from the start.
After these updates, it's been widely regarded as having become the game people always expected. Even IGN re-reviewed the game after the updates and gave it an 8.8.
@DarthVaaparyeah that's the problem...the journey. It was rough. Fans have to play a game more because of the hope of what's coming, and that's not a good thing as far as I can tell. Sort of like what seems to be happening with Apex.
As good as the Battlefront 2 updates turned out to be, it did take over two years to happen.
@hayhorIndeed it did come a long way. All I know is Battlefield 6 better deliver, especially if Battlefront 3 isn't in the works. lol EA pulled support for Battlefront 2 right as it got to a good spot to focus DICE on Battlefield 6.
