On the original map—Erangel—the island on which everyone spawns in before entering the plane is home to some unique terrain and tables of every gun in the game. While the intentions behind this location is to have a place where players can load in and mess around with the various guns in the game, players discovered that you could take a boat from the main island back to this spawn island to get any gun they wanted. While the loot now de-spawns after a patch it is still possible to reach this island, but there is no reason to anym
Of course, the year was not without its troubles. One look at the most anticipated games of 2017 paints a picture of delayed releases and disappointing launches for some of the most-wanted games, while troublesome and predatory business practices such as the ongoing gaming loot box problem has hampered the success of titles such as Star Wars: Battlefront II . It’s definitely been a year of ups and do
As such, there was a strong level of interest in prequel Life is Strange: Before the Storm , with questions asked over whether new developer Deck Nine could recreate the original’s tone. Thankfully, Before the Storm , although not perfect, manages to build upon the first game well, providing a rare prequel that manages to subtly enhance the original story t
This puts the game at something of a crossroads. At the moment, it’s unimaginable for such a hugely popular game to slip from the public eye, but the title needs to consolidate its place at the top of gaming, and needs to do so quickly. Nowhere is it harder to make a prolonged impression in gaming than in the online multiplayer scene, and although the spoils of victory are great the drop offs can be astronomi
This is where PUBG ’s infamous lawsuit against Epic Games and Fortnite comes into play. Both Fortnite and PUBG use the Unreal Engine, which might paint Fortnite as the robbers of yet another aspect, but, this situation gets a lot dicier when you realize the owner of that engine, Epic Games, also makes Fortnite . Yi
PUBG could need to look over its shoulder in this respect, too. Fortnite has been making waves with its own Battle Royale -style gameplay , and its free-to-play status and comparatively more stable gameplay has led to players not only giving it a go, but sticking around too. The game is unlikely to be the only major competitor for PUBG ‘s crown, either, and if PUBG continues to have major success it is going to have to fend off competitors on a constant ba
One pitfall that PUBG will need to watch out for is not to become too niche or difficult for players to get into. At the moment the sheer potential and power of PUBG is enough to keep new players coming and old players sticking around, but that’s not going to last forever. Eventually, players will drop off as they are enticed by new games that hit the market. That doesn’t mean purely direct competitors to PUBG , but games across the board – some of those highly anticipated games of 2018 will take PUBG players away regardless of whether they offer similar gameplay at
As the storm closes in and the circle shrinks, stay close to the ground. Bushes make very effective hiding places, as do fields. Try not to engage any enemies unless absolutely necessary. In solo mode, staying hidden for most of the match is the best way to
**PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds ** is already a huge part of the gaming scene. The multiplayer title has gone from record to record , smashing through various concurrent user records on Steam and achieving the unthinkable: outdoing Valve’s own games on the distribution platform that it created. Since the game’s launch, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has gone from a surprise hit to a game of the year contender, and that’s nothing to be sniffed
Although there’s no denying the game’s popularity, it’s fair to say that the game remains something of a raw experience. Players have ridden over the bumps of poor optimization and various glitches, as the title goes through tweak after tweak to try and get its Battle Royale -esque gameplay pitch perfect. That’s certainly to be expected of a title built in the games-as-service model, even from games within AAA development, but when it comes to PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds there are still areas where it is really ro
The only thing that shoes have an effect on, asides from aesthetics, is the noise your footsteps make. While there is some complications in most situations going barefoot is quieter and makes a softer sound as compared to when wearing shoes—and every little advantage matters in PU
The importance of solving continued technical issues is not just down to delivering a satisfying gaming experience. Keeping promises to early supporters of a multiplayer game is extremely important, because it helps build a level of trust with a community at large. Conversely, failing to fix bugs and glitches (particularly those that are Nintendo Switch 2 Performance-related) can be extremely damaging to a game’s br
