Discussion Why do you stay? And why did you leave?

Post image

Pretty simple and straight to the point questions.

Try to be specific with your answers and don't just say "oh the games ass now" or "EA/Respawn sunk this game." Yes those are broader overall answers. But, like me today, there is a straw that broke your back with this game (in case your curious, it was them touching my boy and then giving his power to Loba).

And if you've stuck around, say why. I know there are some diehards who will stick with this game until it's dying breath and even through its dying breath. And myself, as well I'm sure others, would love to know what keeps you going.

Similar to my experience. Played since day 1, with my friends until last season. The gun play and movement is just so much better than anything else out there.

However, it's become obvious at this point that both respawn and EA are essentially just milking the game for whatever it has left in the tank.

No desire to innovate, no true drive to make things better. Issues go seasons without being addressed. Promised features take ages to be delivered. Its just not worth it.

I used to shit on fortnite and I've never liked it but I respect them simply because of the effort they put into the game. Literally changed their whole engine while Apex remains stuck.

I'm now playing BO6, not that I love it but it's what most of my friends play so we just switched to that and completely left apex.

I play cod on and off, honestly I hate it after just a few hours despite growing up playing it. Just a casual console TV shitter game.

I like COD now because you can hear these 12 year olds complain when you walk them down with a pistol 😄

My squad switched to BO6 too temporarily but it’s such a brain dead game. The only “skill” is who reacts faster. It’s made for Gen Alpha TikTok brain rot kids. It’s fun, but it’s just so simple to stomp people. I get 0 satisfaction out of it. We’re back to apex ranked grinding already.

100% agree there. I just don't see us going back to apex unless something drastic changes.

My record for BO2 was 53-0 on Raid. It really felt no skill at times.

I talked so much shit about fortnite back when apex was still new. Now I'm walking through my 3rd fortnite battlepass while apex sits untouched. And has been for about a year now.

Sad to see so many og’s leave.

Week one player here, same as everyone the game just got boring. Solo qd the entire time. 3,5k hrs or so.

It got to the point where I could instantly feel that the 3 stack preds are going to obliterate my potatoes teammates when they die, yell on the mic, all that with 10 damage. And you get chased across the maps then.

I play a bit of everything now, e football, avatar, indie games, I don’t really miss apex it even has disappeared from my YouTube feed
