Fortnite has a smaller map, which should make it more intense. However, that honor goes to PUBG , whose maps are nearly twice as large as Fortnite’s. As a result, matches in PUBG last longer than the ones in Fortnite . But that doesn’t mean they are boring. PUBG gives players tools to hide, so it’s not uncommon for a player to traverse slowly only to get taken out by a sniper or try to get across the map faster by driving an attention-drawing J
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds may be one of the most dominant multiplayer releases of the past few years, but its shortcomings have come to eclipse the title’s once-sterling reputation. While the community circa March 2017 was optimistic and largely agreed that the game had quite a lot of potential, things seem on the verge of unraveling just two years later. When news came in late September last year that developer Bluehole would be axing the option to switch regions and gating certain players’ access to servers depending on ping, PUBG fans rejoiced. However, nearly six months have gone by since these features were implemented in Update 22, and the game’s multiplayer functionalities are still in a state of ch
The vehicles in PUBG are as essential to the game as players running through the fields swinging frying pans and getting sniped by Shroud. Let’s see what we have here — Minivans full of squads slamming into buildings and Project Windless going up in flames, motorcyclists flipping through the skies only to get their best friend killed as they run into a tree — ah, the list goes on. It’s all so much good fun, and while Fortnite does have some great vehicles as of today, they’re mostly meant for playing around with. They just aren’t the craziness that can be found with the vehicles in P
Small nuances like being able to ride a bicycle make Rules of Survival a joy to play. It has vehicles like trucks and doom buggies like PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, which makes Rules of Survival highly similar. We can tell from its gameplay that its not the highest budget battle royale game in the market. If you can look past its graphics, Rules of Survival can be an immensely enjoyable free-to-play online battle royale g
Rockstar Games’ commitment to its players to deliver numerous massive updates is why Grand Theft Auto V has grossed over $6 billion , more than any movie in history. It’s a behemoth of a game, and its battle royale mode has added to its popular
Formerly named ‘H1z1,’ Z1 Battle Royale was in the early access stage for a significant amount of time, but now that it is complete, the game has turned into a free-to-play game. Z1 Battle Royale combines battle royale elements with zombie survival. Players will have to scavenge for items to survive the game’s natural elements and opposing players. The objective is to be the last player or team standing in solo, duos, or fives. With plenty of unlocks, the game has a tremendous amount of replay va
There’s fun to be had as a social experience, and PUBG is certainly better than the sum of its many subpar parts, but the resources earned through the record-breaking success of PUBG have not translated into a game that holds up in the current climate of high-end shooters, and we can only hope that if major updates (or a sequel of sorts) are on the way, that PUBG’s success supports a triple-A experience instead of a frustrating one that looks and feels dated. But given where we’re at now, after nearly two years since its first release, and the fact that PUBG Corporation released the game in this state on PS4, there’s little h
Within the game, you’ll notice what may be the worst texture pop-in you’ve seen on the PlayStation 4, severe frame rate drops and the clunkiest shooting and looting mechanics. To play as a shooter experience, PUBG is bad and so it shouldn’t be played for that. What it does well however, and this part translates to every version of the game (even on mobile), is the feeling of survival and when playing with others, the team-based tact
What’s also a letdown is PUBG’s development focus that has seen a slow rollout of content and essential fixes, consistently poor optimization, and an aggressive focus on unwelcome microtransactions for cosmetics, and worse, loot boxes. When combined with a terrible reward rate of in-game currency, PUBG’s gameplay loop is simply a turn
For players who can’t get into Fortnite or Call of Duty: Black Ops 4’s Blackout battle royale mode, PUBG is certainly worth checking out, but only for those who have a PlayStation 4 Pro. The game can barely run on the standard PS4 and it’s not even worth trying there. It’s important to note that there’s less available in the PlayStation 4 version of the g
The issue stems from the fact that Bluehole has by-and-large done nothing to quell complaints of Chinese-based hackers invading North American and European servers. While the lag introduced by linking players across such a great distance would be enough to make the average match borderline intolerable, this major influx of dishonest players has tarnished the game’s playability in the eyes of most f
