Elder Scrolls: Legends First Impressions

Genshin Impact 's world seems both foreign and familiar in the same breath. The world of Teyvat hasn't been explored in other games like Hyrule has over the past 34 years , but seems like it's existed for a millennia. This might have to do with Genshin Impact using real world nations as inspiration for the regions found within the game, such as Liyue being based on China or Snezhnaya with Russia. Each region has its own Archon with godlike power and overarching political structure, and is accompanied by a seemingly endless amount of l


This time around, Famitsu simply asked its readers to vote their favorite game of all time, without any restriction of release date, genre, or platform. In addition to the readers, the magazine's own editorial staff, and a sizable panel of celebrities and game developers were asked to vote. Of course, everyone's votes counted the s


Unsurprisingly, Persona 5 also won its own category (RPG) when Famitsu did a survey about that, Dragon Quest III also ranked second then, but Chrono Trigger , that ranked third, fared worse in this survey. NieR: Automata , on the other hand, held fast in 4th place in both surv


At the very least, Apex Legends fans do have something in the very near future to look forward to, as the game's season 4--titled "Assimilation" --goes live on February 4. Beyond that, fans can at least be assured that the mobile title they so enthusiastically wanted remains a definite reality; it's coming, but there'll be a bit of a w


It seems that one of the biggest topics of conversation in the gaming community is miHoYo's new game, Genshin Impact . It might be easy to see why when one considers its colorful cast of characters, its free-to-play nature, and its availability on mobile . In addition, Genshin Impact features a vast world full of secrets and content that players can explore to their heart's cont


However, EA has partnered up with Chinese developers on multiple other occasions to roll out mobile versions of its flagship titles, including FIFA Online 4 and Need for Speed Online . Both of those were made in a partnership with the Chinese conglomerate Tencent, which itself owns Riot Games, and Tencent is also responsible for the massively successful mobile title Arena of Valor support guide of Valor . The conglomerate is currently partnered up with Activision for Call of Duty Mobile , so clearly, Tencent is an old hat at this kind of thing. Whether or not EA's Apex Legends partner is Tencent once again remains to be seen as EA divulges more information going forw


However, it seems this open world and the mechanics that come along with it have caused several players to talk for other reasons. Many players have taken to social media to compare the game to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild , calling it various nicknames like "Anime of the Wild" or "Breath of the Waifu" for its anime-like style of art. And while some players seem to feel that this comparison to the beloved Nintendo Switch title might be a compliment, it might actually be doing Genshin Impact a disserv


Votes were accepted between July 7th and July 18th, and the publication received 5,287 submissions, 55% were from males, 44% from females, and 1% did not disclose their gender. 18% of voters were in their teens, 40% in their twenties, 29% in their thirties, 10% in their forties, 2% in their fifties, and 1% was under ten or over sixty years


Genshin Impact , on the other hand, features 24 playable characters that seem completely fleshed-out, each with their own motivations and goals in Teyvat. Not only that, but these characters each have a unique feel to them with their own abilities that reflect their personalities, even within the same Element and Weapon type. Kaeya and Qiqi may both be long sword users that specialize in Cryo, but their skill sets are completely different from each other. Add in the fact that players can switch between multiple characters during combat on the fly, and it seems clear that Genshin Impact is striving for a different character experience than Breath of the Wi


As you probably noticed, the recently-released and extremely successful Dragon Quest XI does not appear in the ranking, and that's easily explained. It released in Japan on July 29th, over a week after the end of the survey. Due to that unfortunate timing, we won't be able to know how it would fare against Persona 5 for a wh


A new job listing on Respawn Entertainment's website seems to suggest that a mobile version of Apex Legends is currently in the works. While the job listing itself says the company is looking for a senior game designer to work on "unannounced mobile games," it is under the Apex Legends section of the site, making it pretty obvious that the games in question are likely related to Apex Legen


Many fans of Respawn Entertainment's Apex Legends are hotly anticipating the game's upcoming crossplay update . Not only will these players finally be able to play against their friends on other systems, they'll also be able to face off against competitors on the Nintendo Switch as well. However, it seems like another group of challengers could be entering the ring soon if a recent job listing is to be belie
