On PC, PUBG has settled in after its massive player base began shrinking month after month, and it runs well enough on high-end PCs. On consoles, though, it's not a recommendable experience, especially on the PS4 version of the game which gets embarrassed in visuals and performance by more recent shooters Black Ops 4 and Battlefield

It’s not all bad, of course; players in southeast Asia, Oceania, and Russia have found queue times to be more tolerable since the update, and it has helped to lessen the tide of undesirable players in certain regions. That said, Bluehole hasn’t done enough to bring frustrated players back, and this is merely one of many major stability issues inherent in the experience. While titles like Epic Games’ Fortnite and the aforementioned Apex Legends seem to be providing much smoother, more player-friendly experiences, Bluehole appears to be doing little more than sit on their thumbs as the community which once vehemently supported their project moves on for greener pastu

Known as **PUBG ** for short, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is a massive PvP competitive shooter that can be played solo, with a friend, or with a squad of four, in first-person and third-person. The goal is to jump from a plane and land somewhere on one of the game's maps, gather weapons and gear, and survive until the end as the playable map area continuously shrinks. It's the go-to formula that every major shooter brand is looking into and its mainstream success started with PUBG - of which Fortnite admittedly copied and made even more popu

I live in Far Rockaway, New York, which was badly damaged by Hurricane Sandy. I do these interviews with people in L.A., whose houses are on fire, while in New York, we're just waiting for another hurricane to come and wash us away for good. I've interviewed people in Australia , and they're having some bad fires, too. But possibly the biggest environmental disaster right now is in the Amazon rainforest. It's still on fire right now, being destroyed as we sp

The smaller of the two hot springs (Vetrnica) also offers a fair amount of cover on the way into Cantra, especially if players stay under the bridges, so those who prefer stealthier approaches should consider dropping on the outskirts and loading up on Mosin-Nagant ammo near the water, then edging along the side of the cliff wall towards town in order to maintain the element of surprise. Being located on the coast is also a point in Cantra's favor, as those are one of the few times PUBG allows players to disregard enemies coming from one entire direct

In the example above, most of the settings are very low, but the view distance and AA are set to max. That's because both these features are directly related to the overall visibility of objects in the game. Playing on lower settings means better reflexes and quicker response time, both of which are critical for a stable multiplayer experie

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 if buying clothes in real life wasn't enough, PUBG ban Afghanistan has a whole market full of outfits and clothing items to wear. A lot of these are fancy outfits , flashy, beautiful, and utterly useless for the multiplay

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

And it's been an honor to talk to you! This has been a really treat for me, I'm such a huge 90210 fan. I graduated high school in 2009, but I watching 90210 when I was in high school... Which is probably why I have something of a fetish for those big 1990s scrunchies, but that's a whole other th

For players who can't get into Fortnite or Call of Duty: Black Ops 4's Blackout battle royale mode, PUBG is certainly worth checking out, but only for those who have a PlayStation 4 Pro. The game can barely run on the standard PS4 and it's not even worth trying there. It's important to note that there's less available in the PlayStation 4 version of the g

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
