Played since launch, quit this year - as a non-sweaty casual, the game is unplayable now. No point playing if you're just cannon fodder for sweats, stacks and cheaters.
The infamous LIVE hack of Genburten and ImperialHal + the awful greedy battlepass rollout (which they reverted due to backlash) hurt the games goodwill among a significant percentage of the community that left the game. I love Apex and I'll keep playing for the foreseeable future, but I don't blame anyone for leaving the game.
Having something in the game for players to grind for is a must. To help w Pubs: Add a universal skin for all legend by getting 1,000 kills in pubs and u can equip it on the legend u get the kills on. For Ranked: Add universal placements for each ranked like how they do when u hit pred. Like #1 platinum that comes w a badge. I would also say have a community section. If respawn is running out of ideas on how to progress the game reach out for help. Do a version of what fortnite is doing w custom maps n game modes made by the community and they can rotate once a month or even once a week.
Yeah, I don't really know how I feel about that map. It's all over the place. Some parts of it are great and other parts are just big empty boring spaces, etc.
My main issue is seasons are getting less content on launch, and almost all events are just some variation of revival now. It's so stale. I've stopped playing this year because of it. In season 9 we got a new weapon, new legend, new game mode with 3 custom maps, a major balance update and an Olympus map update. It also had a lore comic and several high quality animations to promote the new stuff. In season 23 we got a lifeline rework, no animations, no lore comics, and the one cool thing they did, OG Apex, got deleted after two weeks. The budget at respawn has obviously been massively slashed. Really sad to see.
General message to anyone feeling mostly negative about Apex: take a break, find enjoyment elsewhere. There are so many great games out right now to try. Take a break, maybe come back, maybe don't. Live your wonderful life.
No progression is what’s killing the game if they added a camo grind to the weapon mastery system , a legend mastery system to unlock unique badges , frames and skins for your legend that are exclusive to you grinding that legend and ofc outside of that other badges like win streak badges etc
3:50 there were no new guns in Apex legends in 2022, the seasons released that year were season 12, 13, 14, and 15, none of which added new guns. There was over a year long gap between the CAR, and the Nemesis. All those guns mentioned were added in 2021, in season 8, 9, 10, and 11. In the last two years we got the Nemesis, the charge rifle rework, and the akimbo p20 and mozams, and there was nothing like that in 2022, although there was the addition of laser sights.
This was all said so well, thanks for making this video. I still love Apex and play a lot, but man does it feel like they don’t care about their community and the people keeping this game alive. You mentioned a lot of great points. Hope they can improve this year.
I quit back in season 12 because ranked was so shit, came back last season hit diamond, then quit this season because it’s just the same shit every game. I can’t even go play pubs because the event is so incredibly dogshit. Yes Respawn, I love getting hit for 170 with a mastiff.
I never thought I would but I finally decided to uninstall apex today a d its simply because I don't find any joy in the game anymore it just go stale with the same issues every season and them just adding broken crap every season. I used to love this game it was so fun when I first started and now I had no drive to play at all so I decided to just quit until something worth while is added that interests me enough and not just another milestone event I'll just stick with overwatch 2 or paladins
Everything’s been downhill since the hack back in April. However it seems Apex was forced into an “Operation Health” if you played Seige back then. Which I think will benefit the overall health and balance of ranked, and classes.
I used to love apex. I played it almost everyday since day 1. I moved onto cod for the zombies and will stay there. I really hope apex can find its footing or these low numbers are gonna be apex’s permanent player base
I'd like to say one thing. I feel like apex get a ton of hate, and some of it is well deserved. But say what you want. Apex is one of if not the best and most competitive first person shooter BR's to ever exist. I fell in love with the game because the servers and hit reg felt amazing. The ability and character lore was a nice touch. And let's be honest if you die with 200hp-225hp in a gun fight you made a mistake somewhere. Apex will always hold a sweet spot for me. And even if the community dogs on this game I will always respect it and it's content creators. Thanks for all the love and all the good times all ❤
Who tf likes E-Destirct !?!? I only know people who hates it.... to me it's an atempt for a new worlds edge map which ended up to be a huge fail... I am really curious how many people like the map for real (if u do pls like so I can see the amount of people who are actually enjoying the New map) 😊
Something I think they can do to get players back or keep players playing. The game is have a set of challenges. People can grind every season and you can receive 50 air shards. If you complete all the challenges by three seasons, you’ll be able to afford an heirloom, but they probably won’t do something like that because they’re too cheap
I only stopped playing because they dropped support for my OS, Linux. I have Windows 10 too, but won't be moving to Windows 11 and security updates for 10 are ending soon. RIP Apex, maybe.
Apex is dying and it's not coming back. Sbmm is apex's biggest problem and has been for years. People don't want to put in 110% effort every game. But with the playerbase shrinking, and sbmm being as strict as it is, every game is the ALGS. On top of that, EA has been working on a battlefield br. If that doesn't tell you what you need to know, I'll elaborate. They don't want apex to survive. EA is intentionally milking every last cent out of the playerbase until they drop their new br. Then they'll kill apex so they don't have to compete with themselves.
They should add Arenas back, but with a create-a-class system and objectives, like Arenas S&D or Hardpoint. This will allow them to have all the weapons be playable on Arenas so that they can safely vault them from br if needed. I don't think Arenas should have a ranked mode again, but a competitive mode like s&d would be pretty fun in Apex. I feel like having a Arenas ranked mode put too much stress on the dev team because they had to maintain some sort of competitive integrity for both modes. This is coming from a huge Arenas hater, just because I hated only doing 3v3. It got old very quick and I feel like having Arenas as a casual playground to try out weapons, legends, and new gamemodes would be a nice change for this game.
this apex season, did they nerf ranked kills rp? so its more like season 15 ish u get kill points after top 10? or is it like it used to, u get points per kill straight away?
seeing apex on the decline is giving me great sadness however I am glad it isnt mindlessly growing despite no love from the devs. I hope more creators take the leap to different games and I hope it works out for them :( it sucks how many careers will die along with apex
One of the biggest reasons why I quit this game was because of server instability/lag and also the poor optimization of the game is a real turn off, imagine spending 1k-2k dollars on a gaming rig only to have a fluctuating frame rate.
I am increasingly convinced that the majority of players left Apex Legends because of the monetization changes. While the monetization system before was tolerable, the changes in 2024 crossed the line, alienating the player base. However, I believe this issue is part of a broader picture: a shift in priorities from Respawn and EA. The focus on pro players and streamers, while understandable given their influence, often results in decisions that are out of touch with the average gamer. Pros and streamers operate on an entirely different level, shaped by the sheer number of hours they dedicate to the game. Their perspective doesn’t translate well to the typical player's experience. On the flip side, catering only to casual players risks alienating the niche pro and streamer community, which keeps the game visible and relevant. Striking a balance between these groups is critical, but Respawn seems to have missed the mark. More troubling is the sense that Respawn and EA knew this alienation would occur. These companies have a long history in gaming; they understand what keeps a game thriving. The problem isn’t incompetence-it’s a deliberate pivot in priorities. Apex Legends, once a flagship title, no longer seems to be a priority for EA. Why? That’s the question. One possible explanation is that Apex may have underlying issues-potentially even security vulnerabilities-that Respawn and EA are unwilling to fully address. This is speculative, of course, but it’s not entirely implausible. Another possibility is that EA has simply shifted its focus to other projects or more lucrative ventures, reallocating resources away from Apex. Games like Battlefield or EA Sports FC (formerly FIFA) may offer a higher return on investment or align more closely with EA's long-term strategy. Ultimately, it seems that Apex is being treated as a game that’s no longer “convenient.” While it’s unlikely the developers want to kill the game outright, their actions suggest that they’re not as invested in its future as they once were. Apex still has one of the best core gameplay systems in the genre, but without significant reinvention or a renewed focus on progression and player engagement, it’s hard to see how it can recover.
I fell like everyone makes it drama i played the game since s21 now i got master in s23 and i played on sevral platform like ps4 ps5 pc and i dont have the same problems as the community says otherwise I fell its like drama from the community side not the company cuz you can vote with your wallet thats all if i liked something maybe ill buy if not i will not thats all its the best weapon to use against the company +apex is the best game i have ever played I played cod warzon + coldwar fortshit pubg and for quite alot of time actually and I didn’t like it as much as apex. (Sorry for any mistakes cuz my English isn’t very good)
I loved apex comp even that just felt dead this year I solo qd almost every split and season to diamond or masters feel like I wasted my time no amount of skins and events will ever fix how bad the game is handled and run devs are lazy and takes years for things like 120 and cross gen only for them to be riddled with bugs and then hackers in tournaments shutting it down like how can a gun skin fix this I think the should sack all devs or sell the game
Nothing to grind for in apex but BR. That gets old. We used to be abke to grind trackers for Arenas, until they killed the casual base of the game and removed the mode.
You should’ve honestly separate the collections events and milestone events cuz I bought entire collection event for 45$ while I crafted only 10 items in a milestone event before and it would cost me 200$ still to buy the entire event. Collections events are so much better cuz it’s way way way cheaper even though it’s scummy to pay 160$ to get an heirloom
I have been slowly playing less and less. I agree that the game probably in the best it's been, it's just lacking of fresh new content. Any new content that's added feels so bland. If they spice things up in the new year, they will bring back so many older players.
They’re trying to kill the game remove season trackers and the fact you can’t get 20 bombs as well as the alternator in the event being a must have and the grenade launcher now also I don’t want to have to crutch the alternator so hard but when solo queuing you need to
Not gonna hold you this game is cooked this season pretty much if you don’t play gibi lifeline or Newcastle in ranked you are not going to win. Also the gun meta is also in a weird place, if you don’t carry a shotgun right now you are going to lose those 1v1s against those 3 legends stated earlier. I just think that the game is struggling right now and they need to fix things I feel like whenever they add something new that everyone likes they just take it out and ruin the fun.
21:00 "Apex will never die because it has the best core gameplay out there" --- first of all this is false, for multiple reasons... Apex's core gameplay came from Titanfall & BOTH of those games are dead. secondly, Apex's gameplay is a DOWNGRADE from Titanfall, so it does not have the best gameplay. Third, the engine & server issues make the hit detection in Apex terrible. in 90% of gunfights, people miss half of the bullets they fire & they almost always have to pull out their pistol or secondary to finish people off because the hit detection is so bad. at least in Fortnite, people can actually hit what they're shooting at. in Apex half your shots miss or they hit & show a visual indication that the bullet hit, but no damage is done because the server didn't register the shot. you COULD say git gud, but i'm a day-0 diamond rank Apex player. (i barely play ranked, if I did i'd be higher rank) so I know how to play the game. its just ass now, which is why people are leaving. the whole idea of "ApEx WiLl NeVeR DiE bEcAuSe iTz dA BeZt !!!1111!1!" is the type of delusion that killed off both Titanfall games in the past & will kill off this game also. the players keep telling the devs this, so they feel no need to improve the game, while competitors in the genre slowly improve & surpass it in quality & player count. you can make fun of Fortnite & Marvel Rivals all you want, but those games will slowly march right past Apex, not because they're better, but because the devs don't take their popularity for granted & they actually improve their games instead of ignoring fans & releasing endless collection events while not fixing core issues with the game.
Yh I lost a lot of love for this game , it’s just too many things going wrong and although they Have fixed some things they mainly just put more cosmetics in , just money grabbing with no care about the people who play the game and what they want! Since I have a lot of kills I won’t quit but I don’t enjoy it too much anymore ❤
The milestone event are just an actual flop I know atleast 10 people including myself who would of bought the new bloodhound recolour if it was a standard event there just money hungry for no reason
@ apex is at its lowest player count will Fortnite is literally reaching new heights they just hit a 14 million peak player count on like a six year old game. Well Apex legends is struggling to hold over 100,000.
@ Fortnite has cheaters but nowhere close to Apex or call of duty better servers then Apex so won’t get shot through doors or walls. Apex was supposed to be the the “fortnite killer” now look at the two games
@czellerbalint2232You want the game to die? If Epic got their hands on this game. They would easily add arenas, winter express, and other modes as permanent. They would add so many emotes, and things to grind for.
if they sold Apex to Epic, they would transition it to Unreal Engine & it would actually be playable with no hit-reg issues or audio bugs.. just like Epic did with the Rocket League/Rocket Racing devs. they made Rocket Racing on Unreal instead of their previous engine.
A new map wow when we pay enough for differnrnt developers to create a brand new game 10 times and apex is copy and pasting from the past and changing settings is what they call a live game when its a dead game being squeezed dry
The game is actually dying, it’s clear the devs themselves have given up on the game, EA could care less about the core issues with game, it’s been a cash grab for years, and you can’t tell me if EA wasn’t involved and Respawn had a better publisher it wouldn’t be way better, I love this game but it gets progressively worse every year, not to say BR isn’t sustainable, look at Fortnite, it’s just EA higher ups dgaf about Apex if it’s not hitting their profit margins, I want to enjoy the game but yeah, I can feel the passion is lost, it’s just hard to hard to enjoy the game when it’s all just RNG, I have to play a dozen matches to get a good one, that’s not good game design and it’s only gotten worse as time passes, it’s not a content issue, its more about core issues stemming from outdated game engine that’s exhausted and the causality of the game, it’s just a lot of time spent playing with little reward, just look at how the challenges are presented, just a huge time dumb that’s not worth it compared to what you actually get rewarded, EA set this game up for failure and it took me a while to realize, might pop on every once in a while but mentally, I’m check out of this game, it was good times tho
I started playing this game when edistrict was released, and I'm still really enjoying it. The community is demotivating, though. Everybody complains so goddamn much. You can tell a lot of people around here are forcing themselves to play a game they don't even enjoy anymore, and they drag everyone around them down with their miserable attitude. We need to normalize being proactive and migrating to other games when it's your time, instead of making it everybody elses problem by being an unbearable loser. You will be better off without the game in your life, and EVERYBODY will be better off without you in theirs. This is a lot of gamers on lots of games nowadays though lol 🙄
On that note maybe don’t watch the people who are “demotivating”. This isn’t anyone’s “time” to quit the game, you clearly just haven’t been listening whatsoever. We aren’t getting bored of the game because its core gameplay sucks, we’re getting bored because the devs are making horrible decisions. These people that are “dragging you down” have been playing the game for years and have invested so much money into the game that they absolutely love and, as such, are complaining in hopes of making a difference.
The perk overhaul is afk trash, take horizon for example, nefs to put back in half buffs of the nerfs, what you said about 1 new legend justified is a joke, like this season for apex, and the support baised devs.
I dont want more than 1 legend a year anymore its to much lol or you can add skirmisher at least they dont scan you and stun you or block you etc skirmisher should be the only new type of legend added to the game
Respawn doesn’t know what content or balancing is so there’s no fun and no competition. It’s controller drool one clip , no audio stacks vs solos sess from sign on - sign off. They release “content” in the form of buying 40 packs for a shit cosmetic n then hibernate for 2 months before the next update.
It's funny because when I started playing Apex, one of the things I loved was how great the balance was. Since then, they took balance out to the woods and shot it dead.

Did you enjoy Apex as a whole in 2024?
I did, but there was many "issues" as well haha
Good vid it feels wierd to ask bus can youbuy me event packs👉🏿👈🏻🤭 il call you cuti
yeah i loved it but the col events are to much
i enjoyed it when u were advertising cheaters and boosters
birno u should do a reaction vid to MXRLON999 new vid ( console movement god)
Despite all the negative people, i liked it alot. I don't like constant new legends anyways, too much visual clutter.
This is the first year I actually quit and didnt play at all for 2 seasons
Same, except I played the first split but only got to like lvl 30 in the BP (and that was me grinding challenges too)
Same situation here 2. But im weirdly glad that its failing its given me time to try other games and watch new shows
learned about Warhammer40k. Left this shit in the dust.
Played since launch, quit this year - as a non-sweaty casual, the game is unplayable now. No point playing if you're just cannon fodder for sweats, stacks and cheaters.
Skill issue?
@kokodella 100% - bot life is the only life I know
@kokodella No he just didn't buy a chronus like you.
Was in the same boat. Took a break from Apex for months. Came back and realised the gameplay is unparalleled. Less cheaters from what I can tell.
@@BigDeebo_I swear dudes be quick to say skill issue nowadays
This year was sooooooo fucking dry, im sick and tired of collection events, nobody is buying that shit anymore except our boy Birno
I bought like 4 this year
People are buying, clearly 👆

The infamous LIVE hack of Genburten and ImperialHal + the awful greedy battlepass rollout (which they reverted due to backlash) hurt the games goodwill among a significant percentage of the community that left the game.
I love Apex and I'll keep playing for the foreseeable future, but I don't blame anyone for leaving the game.
Yeah the battlepass change was the last straw for me, if they have time to screw up the battlepass and not fix the real issues then R.I.P. apex.
Having something in the game for players to grind for is a must.
To help w Pubs: Add a universal skin for all legend by getting 1,000 kills in pubs and u can equip it on the legend u get the kills on.

I find it hard to believe everyone loves E District. The center part of that map is terrible.
Yeah, I don't really know how I feel about that map. It's all over the place. Some parts of it are great and other parts are just big empty boring spaces, etc.
The best map of Apex Legends hands down
There should be a legend that can choose to copy the ult/tactical of a person they kill, like the copycat kits, but as a perk they have
My main issue is seasons are getting less content on launch, and almost all events are just some variation of revival now. It's so stale. I've stopped playing this year because of it.

6:55 actually they changed that again. You don't need a support to craft but support legends get a beacon when they craft or are crafted
Do you prefer wattson heirloom or a universal one?

The biggest highlight of this year was the og mode coming back, I miss it already
2024 was the money year for apex
Not having a permanent solo's mode, not having a ranked mode where everyone can only solo q & bad ranked rewards has killed it for me

I loved apex comp even that just felt dead this year I solo qd almost every split and season to diamond or masters feel like I wasted my time no amount of skins and events will ever fix how bad the game is handled and run devs are lazy and takes years for things like 120 and cross gen only for them to be riddled with bugs and then hackers in tournaments shutting it down like how can a gun skin fix this I think the should sack all devs or sell the game
Nothing to grind for in apex but BR. That gets old. We used to be abke to grind trackers for Arenas, until they killed the casual base of the game and removed the mode.
I dont think town take overs are done, they just focusing way too much on cosmetics so arent focusing on actual changes to the game
Day 22/50 almost half way birnoOCE
I haven’t play on e district for months now… it’s not on rank rotation
The tone deaf from the devs over the years has done it for me. Why would you not want to uphold and continue such a good game is absolute insanity.
Alters portal should always be peaceable
The FF7 event was great. Apex was alright in 2024. I am way more of a grinder, than buyer. If you do not earn it, you don't gain anything.
Du you have a discord
Nah games trash and is dying people just don’t want to admit it
thank god they don't have 2 RE45 Kimbo's everyone would use it and 2 kimbos for the wingman it would be so annoying
0:47 2014? lol
😂😂
You should’ve honestly separate the collections events and milestone events cuz I bought entire collection event for 45$ while I crafted only 10 items in a milestone event before and it would cost me 200$ still to buy the entire event. Collections events are so much better cuz it’s way way way cheaper even though it’s scummy to pay 160$ to get an heirloom
I hope you got more wise with your money. Too much money on a game rich or not.
@@BigDeebo_ it was only 45$ for a heirloom. That’s a steal and plus I make a lot of bets with my friends so I got my money back fast either way
I hate that they added e district but didnt keep it in rotation for more than one season, they better bring it back jan 7th
Love your vids
Un-installed today. 5k hrs in game.
Can’t wait for birno to hit 300k so he does his face reveal! (W karambit!? Ye or ne?)
Why do you care so much what he looks like?
@ I don’t really, just kinda fell into habit commenting the same thing. I want to know how many times I have, but have no clue
Does the EPG not count as a new weapon???
Bro e district is on ranked rotation 😀
bro I watched the video for 35 seconds before comments loaded and then I accidentally clicked the apex category and now I'm like 6th or smth T~T
haha rip
Alters portal should always lead somewhere
Why has Season 23 been a whole LTM? I'm over Relic mode and the relic mastif.
I have been slowly playing less and less. I agree that the game probably in the best it's been, it's just lacking of fresh new content. Any new content that's added feels so bland. If they spice things up in the new year, they will bring back so many older players.
"Bro said march 6 2014"😅
They’re trying to kill the game remove season trackers and the fact you can’t get 20 bombs as well as the alternator in the event being a must have and the grenade launcher now also I don’t want to have to crutch the alternator so hard but when solo queuing you need to
Not gonna hold you this game is cooked this season pretty much if you don’t play gibi lifeline or Newcastle in ranked you are not going to win. Also the gun meta is also in a weird place, if you don’t carry a shotgun right now you are going to lose those 1v1s against those 3 legends stated earlier. I just think that the game is struggling right now and they need to fix things I feel like whenever they add something new that everyone likes they just take it out and ruin the fun.
People will always play the meta in ranked, there is no point in complaining about it honestly but sure
its just they remove things the players enjoy, and add things that the players dont like
21:00 "Apex will never die because it has the best core gameplay out there" --- first of all this is false, for multiple reasons... Apex's core gameplay came from Titanfall & BOTH of those games are dead.
secondly, Apex's gameplay is a DOWNGRADE from Titanfall, so it does not have the best gameplay.
Third, the engine & server issues make the hit detection in Apex terrible. in 90% of gunfights, people miss half of the bullets they fire & they almost always have to pull out their pistol or secondary to finish people off because the hit detection is so bad.
at least in Fortnite, people can actually hit what they're shooting at. in Apex half your shots miss or they hit & show a visual indication that the bullet hit, but no damage is done because the server didn't register the shot.
you COULD say git gud, but i'm a day-0 diamond rank Apex player. (i barely play ranked, if I did i'd be higher rank) so I know how to play the game. its just ass now, which is why people are leaving.
the whole idea of "ApEx WiLl NeVeR DiE bEcAuSe iTz dA BeZt !!!1111!1!" is the type of delusion that killed off both Titanfall games in the past & will kill off this game also. the players keep telling the devs this, so they feel no need to improve the game, while competitors in the genre slowly improve & surpass it in quality & player count.
you can make fun of Fortnite & Marvel Rivals all you want, but those games will slowly march right past Apex, not because they're better, but because the devs don't take their popularity for granted & they actually improve their games instead of ignoring fans & releasing endless collection events while not fixing core issues with the game.
A great year for my wallet as I stopped playing :)
If Apex had half the stuff COD has to grind for it would be sitting right at the top of the tree
not with that shitty matchmaking & all those cheaters, it wouldn't.
Yh I lost a lot of love for this game , it’s just too many things going wrong and although they Have fixed some things they mainly just put more cosmetics in , just money grabbing with no care about the people who play the game and what they want! Since I have a lot of kills I won’t quit but I don’t enjoy it too much anymore ❤
The milestone event are just an actual flop I know atleast 10 people including myself who would of bought the new bloodhound recolour if it was a standard event there just money hungry for no reason
Who in there right mind would remove tdm during a time when their losing players
every body loves not me
Literally gotta sell the game to epic
Please don't
@ apex is at its lowest player count will Fortnite is literally reaching new heights they just hit a 14 million peak player count on like a six year old game. Well Apex legends is struggling to hold over 100,000.
@ Fortnite has cheaters but nowhere close to Apex or call of duty better servers then Apex so won’t get shot through doors or walls. Apex was supposed to be the the “fortnite killer” now look at the two games
@czellerbalint2232You want the game to die? If Epic got their hands on this game. They would easily add arenas, winter express, and other modes as permanent. They would add so many emotes, and things to grind for.
if they sold Apex to Epic, they would transition it to Unreal Engine & it would actually be playable with no hit-reg issues or audio bugs.. just like Epic did with the Rocket League/Rocket Racing devs. they made Rocket Racing on Unreal instead of their previous engine.
bro its so bad with 20 tick servers in a shield heavy meta
A new map wow when we pay enough for differnrnt developers to create a brand new game 10 times and apex is copy and pasting from the past and changing settings is what they call a live game when its a dead game being squeezed dry
Map updates are too rare that's my issue
EPG launcher.....
The game is actually dying, it’s clear the devs themselves have given up on the game, EA could care less about the core issues with game, it’s been a cash grab for years, and you can’t tell me if EA wasn’t involved and Respawn had a better publisher it wouldn’t be way better, I love this game but it gets progressively worse every year, not to say BR isn’t sustainable, look at Fortnite, it’s just EA higher ups dgaf about Apex if it’s not hitting their profit margins, I want to enjoy the game but yeah, I can feel the passion is lost, it’s just hard to hard to enjoy the game when it’s all just RNG, I have to play a dozen matches to get a good one, that’s not good game design and it’s only gotten worse as time passes, it’s not a content issue, its more about core issues stemming from outdated game engine that’s exhausted and the causality of the game, it’s just a lot of time spent playing with little reward, just look at how the challenges are presented, just a huge time dumb that’s not worth it compared to what you actually get rewarded, EA set this game up for failure and it took me a while to realize, might pop on every once in a while but mentally, I’m check out of this game, it was good times tho
I started playing this game when edistrict was released, and I'm still really enjoying it. The community is demotivating, though. Everybody complains so goddamn much. You can tell a lot of people around here are forcing themselves to play a game they don't even enjoy anymore, and they drag everyone around them down with their miserable attitude. We need to normalize being proactive and migrating to other games when it's your time, instead of making it everybody elses problem by being an unbearable loser. You will be better off without the game in your life, and EVERYBODY will be better off without you in theirs. This is a lot of gamers on lots of games nowadays though lol 🙄
On that note maybe don’t watch the people who are “demotivating”. This isn’t anyone’s “time” to quit the game, you clearly just haven’t been listening whatsoever. We aren’t getting bored of the game because its core gameplay sucks, we’re getting bored because the devs are making horrible decisions.
These people that are “dragging you down” have been playing the game for years and have invested so much money into the game that they absolutely love and, as such, are complaining in hopes of making a difference.
Yea birno you gotta do more research they didn’t add any guns in 2022.
They should implement r5r inside apex.. just do like fortnite
♥
Split battle pass is the worst
The perk overhaul is afk trash, take horizon for example, nefs to put back in half buffs of the nerfs, what you said about 1 new legend justified is a joke, like this season for apex, and the support baised devs.
no audio no oreoo
Mirage pool on world edge
BRING BACK QUADS!
I’m glad I quit 2 years ago
I dont want more than 1 legend a year anymore its to much lol or you can add skirmisher at least they dont scan you and stun you or block you etc skirmisher should be the only new type of legend added to the game
I was burned out last season and took a break. Came back this season and having tons of fun.
is it worth to still oklay =
Respawn doesn’t know what content or balancing is so there’s no fun and no competition. It’s controller drool one clip , no audio stacks vs solos sess from sign on - sign off. They release “content” in the form of buying 40 packs for a shit cosmetic n then hibernate for 2 months before the next update.
It's funny because when I started playing Apex, one of the things I loved was how great the balance was. Since then, they took balance out to the woods and shot it dead.
Game is still fire🤷🏼♂️
