I'm usually a bit apprehensive of online multiplayer but the ping system in the game means you dont really need voice chat at all to play the game and not get destroyed all the time so I've had voice chat turned off and just been enjoying running around shooting stuff without having to deal with toxic overcompetitive bellends.
sometimes you'll get some bellend who just leeroy jenkins hisself off the ship and you end up getting wrecked immediately on landing because you're outnumbered but by and large people dont want to lose so they play cooperatively for the most part.
outside of the battle pass every 100 days which pays for new content and can be funded by finishing the previous seasons battle pass is also not abhorrent. all the extras are purely cosmetic so it's fun to get a decent skin from a free apex pack when you level up but also you dont have to feel obligated to pay to win as everyone gets the same stats and chances at picking up the best gear.
my one minor gripe is unlocking characters for free will take ages. I've got the latest char unlocked but if i want to try some of the more interesting ones any time soon I'll have to decide if they're worth roughly £6 per char to unlock them.
If I could, I’d donate you some of my 202200 points. After you unlock all characters they become basically useless.
When I started playing there were just 2 new characters to be unlocked and that took quite a few games, so can’t imagine it now with 7 unlockable ones...
Actually quite digging apex legends now.
