Understandably considered to be the most successful DOOM- clone of all time, Duke Nukem 3D was released in 1996 by the team of 3D Realms and FromGen to critical acclaim, predominantly due to its destructible environments that were unique for the t
No, apex e district map I’m talking about that annoying moment when you’re engaged in a tense battle against a formidable opponent, and just when you think you’ve gotten the better of them you miscalculate a dodge roll, tumble over a ledge, and the subsequent landing inflicts such extreme trauma to your shins that the “You Died” screen immediately pops up. All other damage you can handle like a champ. But a six-foot drop? Sorry pal, that’s instant de
Fall damage makes logical sense. After all, it’s possible to suffer an intense sprain or broken bone from something as simple as tripping on the sidewalk. Gravity can be one of reality’s greatest villains. So when a game is aiming to be as realistic and authentic as possible, having severe, painful consequences for a high fall is a perfectly reasonable design cho
But even the outliers have their own problems. Ana, an elderly woman in a sick-ass headscarf, gets a skin that makes her younger and sexier. Mei seems kind of portly, until you put on literally anything other than her default outfit and realize, huh, she’s actually just got a pretty conventionally acceptable hourglass figure and enormous tits. The only one I can give any props to, really, is Zarya. Despite the silly boob armor, she genuinely bucks conventional design trends with it comes to female characters, both in terms of personality and physicality. She’s more in line with the wild diversity present in the male characters, and I really do wish that diversity was represented in the female charact
Whether you’re roleplaying as a super soldier, heroic knight, or even a cartoon bear, it can be deflating and embarrassing to see your protagonist crumble to the ground in a heap from a fall. Do you mean to tell me that this burly, super-powered character who’s supposed to save the entire world can’t handle a crash landing? Sounds like a wimp to
Although many battle royales have a form of micro-transactions, most of the developers behind them have figured out a way to entice fans to spend money without gaining an advantage over their opponents. While many game modes, like EA NHL ‘s Hockey Ultimate Team, allow gamers to spend real-world money to have a better chance at winning, battle royale games, like Fortnite and Warzone, simply give players the opportunity to make their in-game avatar look a certain way . While this is still a way for large companies to continue monetizing their titles, it’s significantly preferable to outright purchasing items that provide an in-game advantage over competit
Developer id Software is back to making sequels significantly more difficult than their predecessors. The reboot DOOM (2016) was likely meant to draw players back to the franchise, while the sequel tests players’ skill. While a series like Dark Souls is becoming progressively easier, DOOM has done the opposite. With difficulty levels called “Hurt Me Plenty” and “Ultra-Nightmare,” DOOM Eternal is not meant for the faint of he
Loba looks absolutely stunning in this cosplay and it is her makeup that will catch your eye. It fades off at the ends just like hers and while the orange of Lunattrix’s braids isn’t real, this fact is barely noticeable. The green eyes are a bit too vibrant from Loba’s usual hazel, but it adds to her aesthetic in a way that has fans wishing this was her actual eye co
Fall damage is often added as an extra obstacle for you to worry about, but it’s never an engaging part of any game. At best, your stumble will cost you a small portion of your life bar forcing you to soldier on with what health you have left or waste one of your healing items. At worst, the damage will kill you, causing you to swear at your TV out of frustration and wait for the annoying loading screen to finish so you can painfully make your way back to where you were. No matter what it does, it adds nothing but a moment of irritation that delays your progress. In short, it makes a fun game less
I can see the argument for why fall damage should be in certain games. Series like Uncharted and Tomb Raider aim for a high level of realism with their action, so it makes total sense to include it. In the real world, any of the death-defying leaps that characters like Nathan Drake or Lara Croft perform would result in a broken fibula or separated shoulder even when they landed perfectly. It would break immersion if they survived falling fifty feet onto a rocky surface without at least stubbing their
Loba loved beautiful things and was a high society girl despite being a thief, and this cosplayer portrayed this side of her personality. The fit of her jacket over the corset is perfect, just like the silver gloves on her hands. It would also be hard for other cosplayers to beat the aura that Foxyy is putting off in her cosplay as she stares off into the distance with this high-maintenance v
