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
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
Given the huge scope of PUBG ‘s maps and the varied terrain inside of them, there is plenty of room for player experimentation and strategy. As I’ve played with numerous friends over the past few months, I’ve continually found players utilizing very different ways to getting into the last remaining number of players that have been just as effective as the last. This includes some of my friends that have loved hiding in bushes and foliage to catch players by surprise, while some of the more cunning players I know have done nefarious things like blowing the tires off of roadside vehicles, leaving players stranded and unable to escape the oncoming circle and instead heading towards a slow, painful de
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
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
Sure, I’ve had plenty of my share of games that ended hilariously early, whether they were from my own poor choices or just getting dealt a bad hand as far as my starting location and what weapons were available to me. But more often than not, I’ve had just as many (or more) matches where I just happened to land in a zone of the map with a wealth of ammo and weapons to use to my benefit, or found myself in a path where I was able to keep up with the shrinking blue circle at a quicker pace than my enem
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
Recently there was a treasure hunt of sorts inside of Grand Theft Auto: Online , the end result of which was getting a golden double revolver as well as some cash. Turns out there is also a way of having that prize carry over into RDR2 , which is a cool little bo
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
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
I was one of those people for quite some time. Over the course of various preview events, conventions, lotus Car bgmi and on my own time I’ve dabbled with a few different Early Access titles or survival games to varying success. Recent titles of the past few years, like Rust , We Happy Few , or ARK: Survival Evolved , grabbed my attention for a short amount of time thanks to their unique premises or ideas, but ultimately I ended up losing interest from some of the usual quirks of the survival sim genre. Given their love of crafting systems – which I often find unintuitive and confusing – and the need to monitor a series of Hunger/Thirst meters with death usually inches away, I’ve bounced off most of those titles fairly quickly. Survival sims can sometimes be intimidating to newcomers, and as a result that’s sometimes made me reluctant to try t
Specifically, Greene clarified with the game’s new cosmetic crates that players will be limited in the number of crates that can be received each week, as crate prices will be reset every Monday. Players will (currently) be limited to six crates per week, while trading and distribution of the crates will be free through the Steam Marketplace. Greene also provided some images of new items that can be found in the two new free-to-open crates coming with the Monthly Upd
