Whether players decide to head in Solo or as part of a Duo or four-player Squad with friends, each game more-or-less starts off in the same fashion as players jettison out of a derelict warplane and parachute onto the abandoned Soviet island that serves as the game’s titular battlegrounds, which spans a massive 5×5 miles in size. Ultimately though, players are left to decide where and when to land, whether they want to drop immediately for a chance at grabbing weapons and equipment right away, or a later drop that costs resources but could set up players with a bit of breathing room away from all the ch
It’s difficult to discuss the lawlessness of the old west without bringing train robberies. Heck, there was even a mission in Redemption titles “The Great Mexican Train Robbery” but sadly, it involved stealing an army train and not sticking up hapless passeng
A great addition to GTA 5 was first person mode, turning the more action-oriented segments of the game into a first-person Free-To-Play Shooter. Personally, I can find third-person or over the shoulder gameplay a little harder to navigate when caught in a firefi
However, with PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds , I’ve felt the compulsive need to check in to the game and attempt a few runs, whether I get oh-so-close to victory or die a hilariously-brief death. Though it doesn’t exactly break away from all of the attributes we expect from Early Access titles – IE bugs, bugs, and more bugs – it makes for one of the most effective survival experiences I’ve played in years by keeping its survival focus lean and simple, but with tons of depth for its rapidly-growing audience. All I know is that Battlegrounds is teasing me with victory and a chicken dinner, and I’m hungry for m
Pushing past six million copies in the past few weeks, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has dominated the Steam charts throughout this year alongside continued monthly updates, with the game’s upcoming August updates to be one of its most expansive
Bluehole and PLAYERUNKNOWN (Brendan Greene) have been hard at work on their latest patch for PLAYERUNKNOWN’S BATTLEGROUNDS . The Early Access Month 2 Update brings a new vehicle, a new weapon, client performance optimization and much more. The update is scheduled to go live on May 25 5PM KST/1AM PDT/8AM UTC and is expected to take approx. 1 hour to compl
The next Monthly Update will also introduce the game’s first new paid cosmetic items through a “crate and key system,” which Greene took time in the community forum to address. Due to some of the negative reaction towards implementing the system, Greene expressed that the introduction and testing of the new paid cosmetics will “serve as the foundation of a healthy economy after launch,” and will aim to “benefit all players – both who are willing to pay and who are not willing to pay for vanity items.” However, Greene also addressed that “our messaging wasn’t clear” in terms of implementing the new system, and added that the team will “try to communicate better moving forwa
Adjusted squad team colors to make them more consistent between different colorblind options
Added a function where a player can select more detailed criteria for the “Cheating” category in the in-game report
Still a sore spot amongst PC gamers is the fact that the previous game was only ever out on consoles. People couldn’t understand why Rockstar wouldn’t tap into that vast market, although most people theorize it was due to the incredible difficulties the programmers had coding the g
Arthur Morgan, the new central character of RDR2 isn’t mentioned in any significant way during the previous game, which seems like a plot hole. If he was such an integral senior member in the Van Der Linde gang, you’d think Marston would mention him, even in pass
PLAYERUNKNOWN’S BATTLEGROUNDS is a last-man-standing shooter being developed with community feedback. Starting with nothing, players must fight to locate weapons and supplies in a battle to be the lone survivor. This realistic, high tension game is set on a massive 8×8 km island with a level of detail that showcases Unreal Engine 4’s capabilit
According to the post from PUBG Corps, the new update will be applied today to the game’s test server, and will move over to the live servers at a later time once the patch is stabilized and and tested among the playerb
Over the past few days, I’ve dipped my toes into PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds partly out of curiosity and partly because of my friends that have become obsessed with the title. While I’d known about it for some time since its availability in late March, the noise surrounding Battlegrounds has only grown over the past three months, especially considering the fact that it has sold over 4 million copies alone since its Early Access de
Originating from Greene’s work on developing mods such as DayZ: Battle Royale (originating from ARMA 2 and its subsequent DayZ ), Battlegrounds ultimately became a sort of mix of the attributes that Greene wanted to take from survival games – the emphasis on player choice and preservation – while refining some of its weaker points. Specifically, Greene’s focus on making large maps that would be difficult to pin down exact strategies from game-to-game play a large part of what Battlegrounds has turned out to be, while item randomization ensures that no match plays out exactly the same as it did bef
