PlayerUnkown’s Battlegrounds isn’t the best-made game in the world, visually. It also doesn’t run particularly well — a fact that developers made light of in their recent Inside Xbox Live at Gamescom showcase. We are eight months past the official release of Version 1.0, and the battle royale game is still riddled with bugs on PC; that’s not even mentioning the Xbox One version, which is finally coming out of Early Access . In fact, PUBG Corporation, the developers behind the game, literally created a website entitled fix.pubg.com that outlines their roadmap for updates that will better optimize the performance of the title. There are a lot of unignorable issues that understandably drive players a
If you just don’t want to use the companion app for your map, there is an easier way to access it. Again, the menus are a pain to navigate. Normally what it seems you have to do is hit the Options button on PS4, then select the map, and there you go. It was needlessly complicated. Well, I eventually found out that you can simply hold down Option and it’ll bring it right up. That’s another oops on my p
Video game companies often try to market a companion app for their games. I don’t know if they’re just trying to cross promote something that will get phone users to generate traffic, or if the developers legitimately got behind this thing as a useful service. Red Dead Redemption II’s is on the latter half. It’s actually useful, which is something I ignored until my friend messaged me and told me to check it out. It’s a great way to use the
Guess I’ll have to wait because a beta won’t even be ready until November. Will we even get the full release this year? Hard to say. This is just like Grand Theft Auto V’s launch. You’d think Rockstar would have lear
Both of those developer are notable within the RPG community – inXile Entertainment for The Bard’s Tale IV and Obsidian for Fallout: New Vegas and the Pillars of Eternity series. Considering RPGs were a somewhat malnourished genre within Microsoft’s previous first-party lineup, inXile Entertainment and Obsidian are really looking to shake things up with one new IP each for Micros
Previously, grenade damage was greatly dependant on fall damage (from the grenade’s knockback effect) rather than explosion. We’ve removed the grenade’s knockback effect for player characters, and have adjusted it so that only explosion damage is applied when you’re struck by a gren
Let’s say you do want a more up close and personal type of gameplay though. Well PUBG has you covered on that as well. The game has all different kinds of events that take place periodically and mix things up a bit. The Tequila Sunrise mode, where the only weapons available are shotguns and melee weapons, completely alters how you play because you have to be within close range to do any damage. This usually results in chaotic firefights. War Mode sets three teams of ten players against each other at designated areas of the map and is similar to the standard team deathmatch. Metal Rain multiplies squads by two and features eight-player teams. The ever-rotating set of events always offer a refreshing change when you might not want to play the normal battle royale mode. While these modes do provide a nice change of pace, I always come back to what classic PUBG map got so right the first time aro
After a long period of silence , Sumo Digital and Microsoft finally shared more information on Crackdown 3 and its multiplayer mode. We learned that the game will be launching on February 15, and like other first party games will be included with Xbox Game Pass at lau
On that same note, instead of using money for guns and stuff, you should invest in the camp as soon as possible. It’s a great way to improve the condition of your comrades as well as get valuable upgrades. I already mentioned the fast travel and horse hitch, but there are more. You can actually max it out pretty fast if you’re good with managing your money. I was a little disappointed once I basically finished in the third chap
Think of the Mirado as a compliment to the other unique vehicles on Miramar: The van is extremely sturdy, but slow and ineffective when taken off-road; The pickup is great for off-road travel; And the Mirado is the fastest way to blaze down a high

Red Dead Redemption II was both my most anticipated game of 2018 and also the one I was most wary of. I was a huge fan of the first game, which came out all the way back in 2010. It was the series I dreamed of Rockstar revisiting once again, but was always let down time and time again. Sometimes when we get our dreams and wishes granted, they end up being disappointing. There was a lot that could have gone wrong with this sequel and the first few showings didn’t have me exactly thrilled. The biggest reveal was that it was a prequel and not about a new group of people. That is to say, we were going to find out what John Marston’s life was like in the height of the Van der Linde gang. Yet we weren’t going to play John, but someone completely new that was never mentioned in the first g
