As in other multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) games, each player in League of Legends controls a character (“champion”) with a set of unique abilities. Most games involve two teams of five players, with each player using a different champion.
The two teams compete to be the first to destroy the Nexus structure within the opposing base. Over the course of each game, champions become stronger and gain additional abilities by earning experience and thereby levelling up. Experience is earned by killing enemies (or being nearby when a teammate does). Champions also build strength over the course of the game by buying progressively more powerful items using gold, which is earned by killing non-player enemies, killing or assisting in killing enemy players, destroying enemy structures, or selling other items.
In the main game mode, players are assigned to either the attacking or defending team with each team having five players on it. Agents have unique abilities, each requiring charges, as well as a unique ultimate ability which requires charging through kills, deaths, or spike actions. Every player starts each round with a “classic” pistol and one or more “signature ability” charge. Other weapons and ability charges can be purchased using an in game economic system which awards money based on the outcome of the previous round, any kills the player is responsible for, and any actions taken with the spike. The game has an assortment of weapons including sidearms, submachine guns, shotguns, machine guns, assault rifles and sniper rifles. There are automatic and semi-automatic weapons that have a shooting pattern which has to be controlled by the player in order to be able to shoot accurately.
A PlayStation 3 version followed in December 2007 when The Orange Box was ported to the system.
Later in development, the game was released as a standalone title for Windows in April 2008, and was updated to support Mac OS X in June 2010 and Linux in February 2013. It is distributed online through Valve’s digital retailer Steam, with Electronic Arts handling all physical and console ports of the game.
The player can join one of two teams, RED or BLU, and choose one of 9 character classes to battle in game modes such as capture the flag and king of the hill. Development of the game was led by John Cook and Robin Walker, the developers of the original Team Fortress mod. Team Fortress 2 was first announced in 1998 under the name Team Fortress 2: Brotherhood of Arms. Initially, the game had more realistic, militaristic visuals and gameplay, but this changed over the protracted nine-year development. After Valve released no information for six years, Team Fortress 2 regularly featured in Wired News‘ annual vaporware list among other ignominies. The finished Team Fortress 2 has cartoon-like visuals influenced by the art of J. C. Leyendecker, Dean Cornwell, and Norman Rockwell and uses Valve’s Source game engine.
Fortnite is distributed as three different game modes, using the same engine; each has similar graphics, art assets, and game mechanics.
Fortnite: Save the World is a player-versus-environment cooperative game, with four players collaborating towards a common objective on various missions. The game is set after a fluke storm appears across Earth, causing 98% of the population to disappear, and the survivors to be attacked by zombie-like “husks”. The players take the role of commanders of home base shelters, collecting resources, saving survivors, and defending equipment that helps to either collect data on the storm or to push back the storm. From missions, players are awarded a number of in-game items, which include hero characters, weapon and trap schematics, and survivors, all of which can be leveled up through gained experience to improve their attributes.
Fortnite Battle Royale is a player-versus-player game for up to 100 players, allowing one to play alone, in a duo, or in a squad (usually consisting of three or four players). Weaponless players airdrop from a “Battle Bus” that crosses the game’s map. When they land, they must scavenge for weapons, items, resources, and even vehicles while trying to stay alive and to attack and eliminate other players. Over the course of a round, the safe area of the map shrinks down in size due to an incoming toxic storm; players outside that threshold take damage and can be eliminated if they fail to quickly evacuate. This forces remaining players into tighter spaces and encourages player encounters. The last player, duo, or squad remaining is the winner.
Fortnite Creative is a sandbox game mode, similar to Minecraft in that players are given complete freedom to spawn everything that is within the game on an island, and can create games such as battle arenas, race courses, platforming challenges, and more.
Players can use their pickaxe to knock down existing structures on the map to collect basic resources that are wood, brick, and metal. Subsequently, in all modes, the player can use these materials to build fortifications, such as walls, floors, and stairs. Such fortification pieces can be edited to add things like windows or doors. The materials used have different durability properties and can be updated to stronger variants using more materials of the same type. Within Save the World this enables players to create defensive fortifications around an objective or trap-filled tunnels to lure husks through. In Battle Royale, this provides the means to quickly traverse the map, protect oneself from enemy fire, or to delay an advancing foe. Players are encouraged to be very inventive in designing their fortifications in Creative.
While Battle Royal and Creative are free-to-play, Save the World is pay-to-play. The games are monetized through the use of V-Bucks, in-game currency that can be purchased with real-world funds, but also earned through completing missions and other achievements in Save the World. V-Bucks in Save the World can be used to buy loot boxes, in the form of piñatas shaped like llamas, to gain a random selection of items. In Battle Royale, V-Bucks can be used to buy cosmetic items like character models or the like, or can also be used to purchase the game’s battle pass, a tiered progression of customization rewards for gaining experience and completing certain objectives during the course of a Battle Royale season.
You can always play the Fortnite android version on Bluestacks.
Warning: Fortnite android version is not available on the play store. I don’t have time to explain that right now. Please watch a YouTube video on how to download it. (Fortnite Mobile was banned from the play store because Fortnite Mobile started using their own payment system instead of the Google Play one that gave Google 30% of their profit).
Call of Duty: Warzone, the only free game in the Call of Duty series, is a multiplayer online shooter game.
Warzone features two primary game modes: Battle Royale and Plunder. It is the second main battle royale installment in the Call of Duty franchise, following the “Blackout” mode of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 (2018). Warzone differs from Black Ops 4 by reducing reliance on equipable gadgets and instead encouraging the accumulation of a new in-game currency called Cash.
Warzone supports up to 150 players in a single match, which exceeds the typical size of 100 players seen in other battle royale titles. Some limited-time modes support 200 players.
The Battle Royale mode is similar to other titles in the genre where players compete in a continuously shrinking map to be the last player remaining. Players parachute onto a large game map, where they encounter other players. As the game progresses and players are eliminated, the playable area shrinks forcing the remaining players into tighter spaces. In Warzone, the non-playable areas become contaminated with a green gas that depletes health and eventually kills the player if they do not return to the safe playable area.
Unlike other titles, Warzone introduces a new respawn mechanic, a greater emphasis on vehicles, and a new in-game currency mechanic. Parachuting is unrestricted, with the player being allowed to open and cut their parachute an unlimited number of times while in air. At launch, the game supported trios (squads of up to three players) with an option to disable squad filling. Infinity Ward has mentioned testing the number of squad members in future updates. Four-player squads and Solo BR modes were added in following updates, while Duos was added near the end of Season 3.
Character death in Battle Royale does not necessarily translate to player defeat like in other titles. Instead, the mode offers a respawn mechanic which players can take advantage of in various ways. Players who are killed are transported to the “Gulag”, where they engage in one-on-one combat with another defeated player, with both players being given the same weaponry. The guns that the players receive have little or no attachments. Players may only enter the gulag after their first death in a match. The winner of this combat is respawned into the game. Other methods of respawn are available using the in-game currency system. Players may use the in-game currency to purchase respawn tokens for other players should they not be revived by the Gulag mechanic.
In the Plunder mode teams have to search for stacks of Cash scattered around the map to accumulate $1 million. Once found, the game goes into overtime, multiplying all Cash sums by 1.5. The team who has gathered the most money when the clock runs out is declared the winner. Players respawn automatically in this gamemode.
In addition to Battle Royale and Plunder, several limited-time modes have been introduced throughout the course of the game’s life cycle:
BR Buy Backs (originally called BR Stimulus) is a variation of Battle Royale in which players automatically respawn upon death if they have sufficient money, and the Gulag is disabled.
Blood Money is a variation of Plunder in which players gain more cash rewards from completing contracts and performing “finishing moves” (execution kills) on other players.
Warzone Rumble is a 50v50 deathmatch type game mode taking place in cut-off sections of the main Verdansk map.
Mini Royale is a 50-player mode in which players drop within a smaller circle than normal Battle Royale modes, for more squad engagements.
Juggernaut Royale features the Juggernaut killstreak dropping in random places throughout the map. Up to three Juggernauts can be active at once in the map. Once a Juggernaut is killed, another Juggernaut care package will spawn in.
Armored Royale features squads spawning in with armored trucks, which players can upgrade to be more powerful over time. Unlike normal modes, players can continue to respawn as long as their squad’s truck is intact.
Slither io is a website based online game where you play as a worm/ snake (I’m not sure) and have to grow bigger by eating the glowing stuff and killing other players and eating their points. You get killed if your head bumps into another player’s body.
“There are approximately 2.2 billion gamers in the world. Out of the estimated 7.6 billion people living on earth, as of July 2018, that means almost a third of people on this planet are gamers.” Video gaming is a big business and enjoyed worldwide.
With the increase of Cloud-Gaming, mobile has become a very valuable option for on the go gaming. With services like Google Stadia, GeForce Now, PlayStation Now, etc. you have a very big variety so you can play all the games you want on that small screen of your phone. Also, 5G will make this process even smoother.
The video game industry has (not so) quietly undergone a big number of changes: microtransactions, development costs, and competition.
The idea of a “Netflix for video games” is quite simple — a service that allows all people to play high-quality video games on any device through a subscription offering. It still remains uncertain how game streaming will shape up in the end, but reviewing the first attempts to create such a solution, we can identify some patterns.
Meta-Gaming is when you make in-game decisions based on out-of-game knowledge. This is mostly a bad thing.
Let’s consider several situations to illustrate the point.
Finding a Trap:
The Metagamer goes right to where the trap is located and spams “search” checks until he “finds” it, because he’s played this module before and remembers the trap.
The regular player searches the room once, fails, and blithely walks into a trap. Because while he knows it’s there, his character does not.
Do you see how one made a decision based on what he knew, possibly ruined a possible good storytelling moment, and cheated. The other player was able to separate what he knew from what his character knew, and made a decision based on character knowledge only. Sure, he just got lanced by a foot-spike, but everyone is in the moment, committed to the story.
Fighting:
The Metagamer plans an L-shaped ambush per Chapter 3–17 b. (2), FM7–8 Infantry Rifle Platoon and Squad, adjusted to account for swords, spears, and bows instead of rifles, machineguns, and grenades.
The regular gamer remembers his character barely knows which end of a sword to hold, and either lets the fighter plan the ambush, or just waits in the bushes by the trail for the target to get close.
I’ve been guilty of this several times. In my last game, I was literally planning an ambush for some hobgoblins before cutting myself off. “Nope, Katrina doesn’t know any of this,” and shut up.
Monsters:
The Metagamer knows the weak-spot of the monster and slams it right off the bat, ruining what could have been an epic fight. He’s memorized the monster manual, and despite his character never before even hearing of this monster, he’s got it’s MO memorized.
The regular gamer may or may not know about the monster, but fights it as his character would, because his character doesn’t know that it’s vulnerable to, say, cold.
In my last game, we fought a midlin-small red dragon. As it happened, Katrina had found a ring of fire resistance. Yay! And while I know that Red Dragons do not have a special vulnerability to cold, she assumed they did, and kept peppering it with Ray of Frost. And while it didn’t do extra damage, she did manage to distract it long enough for some teammates to get behind it, especially when it blasted her with fire and she just stood there and took it.
Leveling:
When it’s time to level up, the Metagamer makes decisions based on mechanical advantage. He may multiclass or pick up feats based on what he thinks the next adventure will be, or just try to get the biggest ACC, AC, Dam, or whatever he can get. He may multiclass his fighter into a Paladin to pick up Smite, because he thinks they’ll be dealing with undead soon.
The regular player levels up based on what makes the most sense for the character. He may also muticlass his fighter into a Paladin, but it’s because he found religion.
Now, for a counter-example. I was in a sci-fi game once, and our ship was damaged. The engines were non-responsive, but Engineering reported they were fully functional. I was playing the Engineer. I deduced that a micro-meteor hit had damaged the control lines, and that the cutout had failed to automatically re-route them to the backups, which I then went to go do manually.
I’m an electronics technician by trade, and I know a bit about naval architecture, and it since I was playing the Engineer, it was totally fine to use Murphy’s Player Knowledge for my Engineer Character. That was not bad metagaming.
Now, some forms of meta-gaming are worse than others. The leveling one doesn’t bother me too much. But other kinds can ruin other player’s fun, and that’s a problem. It cheats people out of the experience, and is goddamn frustrating as a GM.

For me, there’s a few things. Being able to just boot up a game without having to sift through your game case collection. It’s so much more simple, and no, let’s not have a argument about “not actually owning your games” Help is everywhere. If you’re struggling on a part of a game, you can simply search it up on YT. Crossplay/Cross Platform is becoming more and more common now, so on some games, it doesn’t matter if you have a PC, or a Xbox/PS5. You can just add them/invite them via room code.

Tldr at the end. In all my years gaming, character creation has ALWAYS been my favorite thing to do in games. When I was really little, I would spend hours on end creating characters on the old lego star wars games and just playing as them. Nowadays, I'll write a little story beforehand, and I'll hop on Totally Accurate Battle Simulator, ONLY creating characters and factions the entire time. I have about 80 hours on the game, but probably 1 of them is playing the actual game. And it's not just that game, it's the same thing with a LOT of games. BG3, which is my favorite game of all time, has such great character creation (I absolutely LOVE dnd and the universe) but it's not what I'm looking for since it's just creating one character and then having 80 hours of gameplay to follow it up. I want to create a massive amount of characters and actually do something with all of them. I've done this on is the Sims too. I will literally make my sim and an entire house for them but then I'll be bored. Ecstatic the entire time I'm making my character and building, but lose all of the fun when it's actually time to play the game lol. I would even fill all the different maps with my own NPCS half the time because I didn't wanna play the actual game. Other games I've done this on but aren't exactly what I'm looking for: - Skyrim - Spore - Ghost Recon Wildlands - Soul Caliber - Shadow of War -WWE Games TLDR: Looking for any good character creation sandbox games with some fun little mechanics to go with it that I could give a try submitted by /u/Apoximage [link] [comments]
I was playing through MGS1 the other day and realized that Snake is kind of dense. He’s not a complete idiot who’s clueless about everything but a lot of the game is him repeating information back to the person talking to him as to confirm what he’s hearing. The biggest example of him being a bit dense is when Liquid reveals that he’s been impersonating one of your allies this whole time. When that happens, Snake doesn’t immediately come to the conclusion that he’s a spy or that he’s been talking to an imposter this whole time. It takes Liquid undoing his hair and taking off his sunglasses for it to finally hit. And when he asks Liquid why he disguised himself, Liquid replies “so that I could manipulate you more easily”. I’m pretty sure anyone could have come to that conclusion without asking. I realize all of these are story beats for dramatic storytelling but it just got me thinking if there’s any video game protagonists who are quick on the uptake and can pick up on context clues. submitted by /u/bladenight23 [link] [comments]

I recently replayed Fable 2 and it reminded me how differently I used to play games as a child, when I was young I used to struggle with video games so I would just get to a certain point and spend the rest of my time doing anything and everything except playing a mission, and once I got bored of that I would restart and do it all over again (there are still games I haven’t finished because of this) if I try to play like that now I just get bored and it really sucks submitted by /u/RestlessRhys [link] [comments]

Whether it be an unwelcoming community, a steep learning curve, or a skill gap between a new player and most other players, some games are really hard to get into. games that I've found hard to get into: l4d2 (specifically vs mode), due to hostile teammates, going against seasoned players frequently, and steep learning curve Any MOBA due to the hostile teammates and steep learning curve. Tactical shooters like valorant and CS2, due to steep learning curve. What games have you found hard to get into? submitted by /u/kurpPpa [link] [comments]
Reasonably so, most games visually designed characters to look evil that are meant to be evil. Likewise, if they dont want to make the villain look evil than they give them a very staple crazy evil guy personality. Thinking of a lot of final fantasy games or souls like game where it is always obvious when you are looking at the villain in a cutscene. And I still do mean that I am looking for characters that are specifically designed to be the games bad guy. Not morally grey characters or ones that the player is really meant to sympathize with. Do these types of characters exist? submitted by /u/ThyWingsAreWilted [link] [comments]
It dawned on me that I did. Example from Metal gear solid, PS2. Recently revisited on the PS3 collection. The first half of the game was crystal clear from my memory, skidding in seagull poo, continuously missing fatman with tranquliser darts, layout of the Big Shell etc etc. I could never get past the swimming section in my younger days, so would hit a brick wall. But, with most keycards, a selection of guns and explosives and nothing but hours to burn as a kid I would essentially work my way loop to loop around the rig that I had access to toying with the soldiers. I'm estimating hundreds upon hundreds of hours of this as I didn't really have a massive gaming collection back then. Did anyone else create their own rules and objective in a game? Especially as a younger player? submitted by /u/Andavel [link] [comments]

With the celebrations of GOG’s 16th Anniversary, we are thrilled to announce our new initiative. We’re launching the GOG Preservation Program – an official stamp on classic games that GOG has improved, with a commitment of our own resources to ensure their compatibility with modern systems and make them as enjoyable to play as possible. This initiative was created to make games live forever and once again bring the utmost attention to what the center of our work has been for the last 16 years: video game preservation. We begin with the re-release of 100 classic games from our catalog with updated, improved, or quality-tested builds, including masterpieces like Heroes of Might and Magic® 3, Resident Evil, and Diablo+Hellfire. Visit our website dedicated to the Program to learn more: https://www.gog.com/gog-preservation-program The Video Game History Foundation has recently shared that 87% of games created before 2010 are inaccessible today. This is something that we cannot accept, and with the help of the gaming community, we are set on getting that number down to zero. We’ve put in great efforts to make it happen, and we truly believe that with the GOG Preservation Program, we can fight the dire situation of video game preservation and make games live forever. Your opinion and feedback are invaluable to us. So please share your initial thoughts. And lastly – thank you; your support and love for games make everything possible. submitted by /u/GOGcom [link] [comments]
Despite being chronically indoors and hiking-averse, I love the feel of a good forest. The sounds of birds chirping, trees and bushes bristling, and the sun breaking through the canopy gives me an enormous sense of well being (park life). The game that achieved this most accurately for me is Kingdom Come Deliverance. Half of my 100 hours in that game must have just been me wandering through the forests like some sort of ironclad nymph. submitted by /u/MyTeaIsMighty [link] [comments]

I introduced Roblox to my 7 and 9 yrs old kids w/o fully understanding what it is. Now that I've seen how the sausage is made and understand the motivations of its creators, I want them to avoid it like the plague. It's futile to articulate to them why it's bad and I clearly don't want them to resent me for taking away something they love, so I figured that the best strategy to go about it is to replace it with a novelty. Roblox is the amalgamation of everything that's wrong with the gaming industry and our brain rotting ethos, but I really don't want to get into it. IYKYK, and if you don't know, I'm sure many others have talked about it before. I'm looking for a game that's Easy to get-started and play Supports local co-play (no online play) Offers novelity in every playthrough (this is key) No micro transactions Designed purely for enjoyment and not to make a quick buck by exploiting kids' attention and dopamine production Isolated from our pop culture Supported on Mac OS Something that can be enjoyable in 1 hour playthrough (their daily screen time allotment) They have Minecraft and used to like it, but stopped playing it altogether since Roblox was introduced. Thanks for the help UPDATE: I didn't expect the post to explode like that :o. Most of the comments were kind-hearted and helpful. Thank you very much for that <3 My wife and I have decided to rip off the bandaid and not spend another day feeding this toxic addiction. The kids may be upset for a while, but they'll adjust and move on.
