Blizzard's Hearthstone sounds like it should be the least controversial title on the company's roster but this year, thanks to some politics, it is knee-deep in an ongoing controversy that has seen bans galore handed

Even if we compare the OG maps from these two games it's a bit of a toss up as to which is the winner. Sure Fortnite has Tilted Towers, but PUBG has School; and in case you don't play the latter, School is a place where half of the lobby's players drop resulting in a massacre that leaves only one or two survivors who are barely clinging to life. But that's just the OG maps, PUBG now has four unique maps, all of which are just as good as the original in their own rights. Fortnite is finally making an alteration to it's original map, so there's not much competition h

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 Respawn force all Asian players into the same space, the entire region might find the game unplaya

As mentioned, the circle is the biggest threat in the game besides the players. This circle can dish out large amounts of damage the longer the game goes on. Make sure to pay close attention to the minimap as it provides the player with the location of the circle and how much time before it begins to close again. Also, using vehicles is an excellent way to travel across the map in short amounts of time. Vehicles can be rare though, so once the player finds one, hold on to it close and use it as an advantage. The circle can also be used as a weapon of the players' own. By pinning a player in a tough situation while the circle is behind them, the opponent has to make a tough decision. Either move forward and get shot at or wait hit until the circle takes them. Spacing this out can be advantage

Unlike shotguns, Assault rifles can function as decent to extremely powerful mid to long-range weapons. Solidifying it as a much better weapon to rely on, even if it doesn't excel at close-range as shotguns do. Similarly, Sniper rifles are only really useful for long to mid-range combat, using a sniper at close range is always a death sentence, unless your aim is spectacular. This is where assault rifles establish superiority over the Sniper, while it is better at long range, it doesn't compare to the assault rifles util

When it comes to the technical aspects of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds on PS4, those looking for an experience rich in graphical and sonic fidelity will walk away sorely disappointed. It must be noted, though, Full File that unlike the way in which the title released through Xbox Game Preview about a year ago, PUBG on PS4 is at the very least stable, despite the sporadic environment bugs and avatar errors that can generate weird, but brief glitches. Plus, it manages to run at a decent frame rate for the most part, save for some isolated instances of stuttering and slowdown when certain areas are highly populated with players at the beginning of a ma

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

While we take great joy in comparing these two battle royale titans, Fortnite really should be in a different league of it's own. PUBG is a traditional battle royale game, but Fortnite is not only battle royale, but Minecraft too. In the game you have to gather supplies and build to survive -- it's honestly quite bizarre when you really exam it. In the middle of a heated battle you could be mining for stone and build a four-story house. And don't think you'll get very far without utilizing these mechanics, as some of the best players have gotten that way by becoming master build

Bethesda has had a rough ride with the deployment of Fallout 76 . There have been so many issues with the game that I could fill this article just by listing them. From the less than stellar reviews and the collector's edition bag saga, through to the major personal data leak , the issues were already racking up even before the disaster that is Fallout Fi

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
