Why Games Need To Remove Fall Damage Once And For All

Why have I thrown myself so hard at this game? Is it the mechanics? Well, for starters, yeah – they’re among the best I’ve ever touched in a shooter, but that’s not it. What about the visuals? Sure, they’re undeniably great, but there’s something more. And while I could sit here and talk about how smartly designed the maps are, or how good all the guns feel, or how the traversal tech is more interesting than its peers, it’s not necessarily the mechanics that have grabbed me as hard as one other major fa

The idea of combining the tactical gameplay of titles like Counter-Strike with the modern advancements in the hero shooter genre was a massive success for Valorant . The game was a huge hit upon release, and continues to wow fans to this


Besides, it's easier to see opponents from afar when looking at a big screen as compared to just squinting your eyeballs dry at your phone. Surely most households by now have a serviceable big flatscreen that's viable for console gam


If you're picky with your graphics, then the gameplay might feel a little suboptimal since it can be harder to see enemies or play optimally with lower-resolution and fidelity graphics. Console versions offer similar or even near-identical graphics to the PC vers


Even a teammate who has been totally killed can be returned if you grab the banner left behind with their death and find a respawn beacon. It's a bit of a shame that quad queues won't be coming to the FPS Game Guides, but this holds just as true in duos and tr


A good rule of thumb, however, is to try and always get a height advantage on your enemies if possible, and always have some form of cover to hide behind. As the match goes on, you will often run into enemies equipped with highly upgraded sniper rifles, who will punish you for wandering around in the open. The meta is constantly changing as patches go by, so you never know who you might be up agai


Then again, you might get so hooked up in the battle royale experience offered by PUBG that you dream about it every waking moment. In that case, you can always indulge yourself in some mobile Hunger Ga


Not only is it difficult to defend against tumultuous enemies with an array of weapons, but players must also achieve a list of objectives to beat any given level. This list of mission objectives grows with each difficulty increase. Finally, there's 00 Agent, the hardest difficulty in GoldenEye 007 (aside from the 007 customizable difficul


Now when I say fall damage I'm not talking about falling into an endless pit. That's been a staple of gaming since the days of Super Mario Bros . While I don't necessarily enjoy that either, I understand that's it's there because most game designers don't want to recreate an entire planet's surface. Sometimes it's easier to put in a dark, foggy pit and leave its deadliness up to your imaginat


Although many would agree that Counter-Strike 2 isn't the most difficult game to pick up, it is tremendously hard to master. As a game with an online focus, its most elite players will lay beginners to waste with certai


PUBG console patch 9.1 adds frame rate priority mode to PS4 Pro and Xbox One X, allowing players on the more powerful systems to get up to 60fps gameplay. The screen resolution for the new mode will be limited to 10


PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is often touted as the pioneer among all battle royale video games these days as it popularized one of the most popular modes of gameplay in gaming history: proving you're better than everyone else by killing them. Such an experience couldn't be contained in just one gaming platform and thankfully, PUBG branched out to the consoles and even the mobile gaming sc


Sadly, not everyone has the time or financial capacity to commit to console gaming or even gaming in general. Some of your friends might only have smartphones and can't play with you on the console, but that's enough for PUBG Mob


Here's the thing though: reality is stupid. While it's certainly true to life that a mistimed fall will lead to injury and perhaps death, that doesn't mean it's fun. Fall damage has never been enjoyable and always hinders how you can play a game. So it's time for game developers to thumb their nose at Isaac Newton and eliminate fall damage once and for

As always in gaming, keeping your eyes glued to a big screen where your fingers don't block some of the view and your neck isn't straining from your head looking down produces a more comfortable experience. The more comfortable players are, the more they can focus on the g


It’s tempting to immediately open fire on enemies that you spot, but sometimes its better to take a moment to consider. Could there be enemies closer to you that you could accidentally alert? Could you have a better chance of taking out that squad if you waited until you got clo


The most obvious reason why PUBG on consoles is a better experience is like comparing DVDs to the cinema. The screen is bigger for the console and while this might not seem like a big deal, it actually helps with immers
