Gaming Companies Claim Inclusivity But Exclude African Players

apex Gibraltar Legends is currently making its way through Season 5, and as with all of its previous seasons, there are plenty of cosmetics to acquire. Some of them are for legends, while many others are meant to spice up the look of the weapons you've already been using for well over a year in Respawn 's hit free-to-play game. With that many new skins in the game, it can be hard figuring out which ones are the best of the bunch. Luckily this article will hopefully do exactly that for you. Let's now look at the 10 best weapon skins in Season 5 of Apex Legen


Datamining is terrible if you're a developer, but if you're a fan it can provide plenty of useful facts that would have never hit the public eye. For instance, thanks to data mining it was discovered that Revenant was initially going to be named Blackout. This is typical in game development as characters often get several passes when being named. It also revealed that his ultimate ability at one point would create a doorway in a wall. The implementation of it was likely riddled with bugs and glitc


In a world that's somewhat grounded, the introduction of an ability that resurrects people is quite head-scratching. Tom Casiello, a writer for the game, was asked to provide a canonical explanation for the ability, but couldn't due to the explanation being tied to a future leg


Some may scoff at this entry as both the skin and weapon seem to not be befitting of this list at first glance. The Hemlok has come into favor in the Season 5 meta, so it belongs on this list in some capacity. As for the skin, it's a tougher sell. Is it easy on the eyes and heavily desired? No, not really. It does however feature an organic looking design that makes it look unique and also plays into the lore of the franchise as a whole. With all of that considered it seems that the #7 spot made all too much se


Throughout the entertainment medium, you'll often find that artists and animators love to reference their favorite influences and inspirations via direct examples, or even sometimes as hidden easter eggs. Revenant happens to have a rarely occurring animation when summoning his Ultimate ability called Death Totem. He will do a series of hand signs that are directly from the famous manga and anime series Naruto . This makes perfect sense considering the Naruto franchise focuses on ninjas, which were a direct inspiration for Revenant's charac


Of course, Fortnite is the first battle pass to discuss as it is the grandfather of the Battle Pass system. For the most part, their battle pass has done everything right and is well worth the $10 it costs to purchase. A season of Fortnite lasts about 10 weeks, so every two and a half months a new battle pass is available for players. The battle pass offers 100 tiers of rewards, some of which are pretty garbage, while others would cost the player $12 - $20 if available for purchase in the item shop. A Fortnite battle pass also comes with exclusive challenges for players to complete, with new challenges being unlocked every w


_ Apex Legends _ won Best Multiplayer Game at the 2019 Game Awards and Online Game of the Year at the DICE Awards . With Respawn having recently opened a Vancouver office and projecting a 10-year run for the game, it’s clear the company plans to support the game for the foreseeable future. And, while Respawn is investing in _ Apex Legends _ as an esport, there are questions as to how it may fare among other competitive games. But Dazs is optimis


It's great because more games need bisexual representation, but it doesn't define Loba, just like someone's sexual preference isn't their defining personality trait. She has a quip where she says "Man Eater and Lady Killer" which expresses it, which was further confirmed by writer Tom Casiello on Twit


Ever since his initial inception, it seems the designers at Respawn Entertainment wanted Revenant to come across as what they described as a "synthetic shinobi." Shinobi are stealthy covert agents that are often simply called ninjas. It doesn't seem as though Revenant is completely robotic, and his human brain is likely what makes him synthetic. The game has a wide cast of characters for players to choose from and its neat that they added one that's unnerving and terrifying, but at the same time exudes a certain level of c


Imagine being the greatest hitman in one of the most dangerous crime syndicates to ever exist. Before he was turned into a murderous robot, that's exactly what Revenant was. For 300 years he's been carrying out hits for the Syndicate and has functioned as more machine than man through


Still, while he was busy with _ Battlefield V _ , a friend of his clued him into a forthcoming game that was "really going to shake things up." The friend, who had play- tested it, was unable to say anything more without violating a strict non-disclosure agreem


Apex Legends does a good job as a free-to-play game at offering its players skins for both weapons and legends worth chasing after. You would think that Revenant would have darker-themed skins due to his murderous past, which he very much does. In addition to those though they also gave him 3 separate skins all inspired by the Egyptian god, Ra. It not only changes Revenant's coloring but gives him a bird-like head which is more akin to the depictions of Ra throughout Egyptian mythol
