The most baffling part is that the game had previously been classified for release, just with a different publisher, (although it appears these records have since been removed) The whole situation has left even the countries politicians confu
Most publishers, however, won’t be willing to act on these suggestions. As previously mentioned, the Chinese market is often very lucrative, and region-locking won’t do away with the fundamental issue of cheating. A quarantine of all Chinese players will do nothing but frustrate both standard players and hackers alike in that area, and, should the region’s interest in the game fade because of an artificial blockade, Electronic Arts could stand to lose quite a bit of inco
The reaction was so swift and extreme even Jeff Kaplan spoke out against it and Reddit started a movement to #BoycottBlizzard . Amid the chaos, it was also discovered that Hearthstone forum users speaking out have been slapped with 1000 year bans . O
When PUBG was breaking records left and right and boasting player counts that gave Valve’s Dota 2 a run for its money, Bluehole seemed content to rest on their laurels and sporadically introduce updates while refusing to respond to player criticisms. The battle royale boom of early-to-mid 2018 saw them making money hand-over-fist, and a major reason for that was due to their popularity in the Chinese gaming space. As a result, the developer wasn’t all that keen on doing anything to harm an extremely profitable economy despite the fact that it came at the behest of Western play
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
As fun as both games are, there is one fundamental difference between them: PUBG cares a lot about realism while Fortnite doesn’t pay much attention to it. In PUBG , the outfits are grounded, the weapons are realistic, and the physics try their best to feel real. Fortnite , however, lets players build walls out of thin air then demolish them with a pickaxe. The characters are excessively colorful, the weapons are sometimes silly—and pretty colorful too—and the developers didn’t pay too much attention to phys
Skorpion was added to the game last year, but it never really appealed to the player base. It’s essentially a pocket SMG, that one can carry around without using the primary weapon slot. However, the Skorpion does need a lot of attachments to be effective, and even then, it’s not something to brag about. It’s better to invest the attachments to the primary weapon as Skorpion barely holds against other weapons in the g
In response to the uncertain state of PUBG , fans of other multiplayer-focused titles have urged developers to region-lock Chinese players. Most notably, battle royale fans currently enjoying EA and Respawn Entertainment’s Apex Legends are adamant about curtailing the flow of hack
Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds or more popularly know as PUBG boasts a huge arsenal of weapons to choose from. Ranging from meager pistols to powerhouse rifles, there is a weapon for every scenario and playstyle. With a big roster of weapons comes the question as to which weapon players should priorit
What’s more, while restricting server access on a continental basis is fairly common and simple to implement, forcing every player in a single country or continent to stick to native servers would be a nearly insurmountable challenge. Should EA and Virtual Camaraderie Respawn force all Asian players into the same space, the entire region might find the game unplaya
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
The other ban which angered players was that of Jaret Burkett, who most players know as the person behind Map 76. He was one of a group of players banned after combing through the data files, trying to find and report issues in an effort to get them fixed faster. He maintains he was trying to help but Bethesda doesn't see it that
