Apex Legends Hits 10 Million Players In 72 Hours | Edit: Over 25 Million

East coast. I play most nights unless the kids aren't sleeping (like last night) If I see you on and can play for a bit, I'll hit you up

Even though I've played a lot of it, I'm starting to think it is...

pretty sure the reason I enjoy PUBG is its a fun tactical shooter, the mode is kinda secondary. If I could convince my friends to play RS2 or Insurgency Sandstorm instead i'd drop it in a heartbeat

@phbz: The Hunger Games was a huge hit despite being about kids killing kids. Although it was toned-down from Battle Royale.

Come to think of it, Hunger Games is to Battle Royale what Fortnite is to PUBG.

Really happy for these guys, I personally don't like this type of game - but had a feeling EA would close them down if they kept having lukewarm sales.

They really nailed it, I just wished time to kill was a bit shorter but I'm having a blast and I'm not much of an online shooter guy. But battle royale games are a very welcomed rethinking of the genre to me.

But now we have to deal with the curse of the Source Engine. No number 3s.

Wow, I was made a champion for one game lol

I wonder how will this affect Anthem?

I was watching an Australian streamer on Fortnite. There were only 38 players in squads out of 100

Games a monster. Can't wait to see how they progress it.

Its better than fortnite and pubg..

Still would rather have a new titanfall instead that had traditional team deathmatch.

Being able to revive your teamates , marking enemies and special abilities help mix it up, BR still doesnt compare to team deathmatch MP tho imo

Tried it, played 3 matches, uninstalled.

I seriously dont see what people see in these BR games... I find them boring asf. Titanfall 3 is no more because of this? sad face

where are all these players coming from the game looks like free to play trash dumpster fire battle royal

I can't stand battle royal anymore stop playing these games people get good games that cost 60 and have everything in the game and yeah

@Vatusus: BR’s are boring? I find every other genre boring now. The high of a win is unmatched in video games

hum, cool? Imma happy for you. I tried Fortnite, I tried Apex. Didnt like them one bit. They're just not my cup of tea, I guess. Competitive games never been my thing, especially shooters

Has some serious issues,many times i spent more time finding a match,choosing a character and launching than actually playing the game,specially if you are pair with really mediocre players,i don't consider my self even average but most people i have play on my team suck 10 times more than me,weapons feel unbalance as well.

The idea of battle royale games was actually floating around for a long time, among fans of the movie Battle Royale. I remember back in the early 2000s, me and a friend were thinking up ways of adapting the movie into video game format. And I'm sure the thought must've crossed the minds of other Battle Royale fans. It was only a matter of time before some Battle Royale fans eventually started adapting the idea into mods and then full-blown video games.

I've played the game and I have formed my opinion. It's highly overrated, as I thought.

The game is basically Titanfall, but without the titans, game modes and wallrunning. A stripped down Titanfall in a BR mode. And people shower it in praise. Since BR isn't a very fun formula to me, this is not a game for me. Gameplay is just slow. Running around gathering things isn't fun to me. Die early and have to find a new match isn't fun to me. Winning wasn't even fun to me.

I absolutely hate how this game gets praise. It's just a worse Titanfall in BR. Am I the only one who have played games in my life before this game?

You don't have to like the game genre but the execution in which Respawn pulled this off is something to behold. They announce and launch the game on the same day without a hitch. The game is super competitive and garners success in a mere week. Don't like the game fine but please stop with the 'I can't believe this game is ………….'. It comes off as uber elitist.

As a Titanfall fan, I can say you are wrong. As a gamer of 30+ years, I can say you are wrong.

Would be awesome if you explained how I'm so wrong. There's new weapons, characters and abilities. Hardly praise worthy, imo. Otherwise I just see a stripped Titanfall with a BR formula.

Ah yes, the squad-based tactical plays and ability combinations that Titanfall, the apex of ego shooters, was known for.

Much more fun than Fornite, Blackout, ROE. Still end up going back to PUBG though.

I started playing this game two days ago and I have to say, it's a ton of fun. BR games didn't interest me before this, mostly because they all looked "meh". But Respawn just nailed it with Apex, imo. It's even more fun when you can get your friends to join, sadly I only have one friend who plays on pc.

In any case I'm looking forward to see what the future brings for this game. New maps, characters, whatever else they come up with. Heard rumors of a solo and duo mode as well, that would be so cool if true.

What Fad? Genres been around for 3-4 years now , and all 3 big games still have 100s thousands of players concurrently.

Just like MOBAS

@kali-b1rd: I don't mean that the genre isn't here to stay or isn't popular. I mean that it seems like these kind of games have one or two big runaway (like, insane popularity) every year. Then a new one wipes it off the map when it does something a little differently. I don't keep up - so I know what the genre is but one year's hot topic vs the next flies over my head.
