The Xbox version of the game, a half-baked port of a PC title which isn't well optimized as is on its lead platform, still runs poorly even on the powerful Xbox One X. Its fundamental gameplay mechanics are clunky and subpar compared to any other notable shooter, and it looks dated. Skip forward a year, and now PlayStation 4 players can experience the same disappointment and bugs. Little has changed, and shockingly, PUBG on PS4 is the worst version of the g

Sure, the core gameplay serves up a decent portion of enjoyability for those who simply want to dive in and do battle against others, as patience and persistence with figuring out the mechanics of PUBG on PS4 typically results in a more satisfying time each go-round. That said, the decisions behind specific control scheme choices for the DualShock 4 seem odd, and periodically makes for a needlessly steep learning curve. This is particularly evident in scenarios such as a tap of the Square button picking up and equipping items in the field, but needing to be held down in order to reload. Furthermore, holding L2 causes one to aim in third-person, while tapping that trigger will give players a first-person iron sights view, dubai gaming event which is incredibly difficult to adapt to, much less master. Therefore, it's highly recommended to give Training Mode a try first before playing an actual ma

Unfortunately, that thrill is marred by bad interface designs that make looting and managing inventory painful and dangerous, given that you can be shot while navigating tabs and manually moving things around while trying to loot or mod a weapon. The devs did minimal work in translating the game to console controllers, and didn't take any of the learnings from other games that do this bet

Its battle royale mode, Firestorm, takes a unique spin on the genre by surrounding players with a ring of flames. Players can ride vehicles, decimate buildings into a pile of wreckage, and prove themselves in competitive 64-player matches. Battlefield V: Firestorm is not free-to-play, yet it provides high value for its play

There are few places more exciting for the circle to close on than the Cosmodrome. Not only does it look like a scene straight out of the end of one of the old James Bond 007 movies, but there is one of the largest structures ever to dot PUBG's landscape located at the Cosmodrome (an old missile silo, pictured above) which has the potential to see multiple teams on multiple levels firing up and down at each other in may

What's also a letdown is PUBG's development focus that has seen a slow rollout of content and essential fixes, consistently poor optimization, and an aggressive focus on unwelcome microtransactions for cosmetics, and worse, loot boxes. When combined with a terrible reward rate of in-game currency, PUBG's gameplay loop is simply a turn

There's always a rush in PUBG while landing somewhere, either near enemies or entirely isolated, and scrambling to find a weapon and ammunition for the potential immediate skirmish. When forced to move a great distance to reach the safe zone as the map shrinks, you'll never know if someone in the distance has spotted you until it's potentially too late. And if you're waiting or moving slowly and hear footsteps, there's a unique thrill that PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds offers better than other battle royale experien

But player counts don't mean everything, and if we're still talking numbers, than PUBG mobile's player count of 400 million truly takes the cake. Statistics finally aside, it's time to tackle the meat and potatoes of these two games and decide which one is a truly battle royale k

Dinoland is more about style than substance, and while players who have an affinity for SMGs and educationally-backed shootouts will enjoy it, those looking to start the game off a little better prepared should think about going elsewhere. However, Dinoland does provide a great location to start off in, as it's not only adjacent to multiple main roads but also Vikendi's new rail system, ensuring lots of options for on-foot and vehicle movement after the inevitable post-landing shoot

Season 7 of **PlayerUnknown's BATTLEGROUNDS ** has begun, and in addition to returning players to the snow covered landscape of Vikendi the game also introduces players to a (theoretically) new weapon in the form of the Mosin-Nagant sniper rifle . While some of the changes made to Vikendi's map are drastic, such as the activation of the rail system which allows players a brand-new way to travel across the landscape and the removal of areas like Tovar and Movatra, others are smaller but just as important, such as the fact that there is much, much less snow for players to leave footprints

One of the biggest drawbacks of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds on PS4 comes from its lack of polish, as it's almost a given that one will come across texture and detail pop-ins every time they decide to play a round. On top of this, there are some janky animations that can't be ignored, as well as other frequent object rendering issues. What's more is that the bland aesthetics and environments in PUBG leave a lot to be desired, with virtually every area on the game's available maps being nearly indistinguishable from one another, especially on the desert map Miram
