Still, surely they are supportive of those still playing the game, right? Wrong. For those brave adventurers still fighting the numerous bugs , Bethesda has handed out a couple of bans we still can't get our heads aro

Try to capture the perfect moment where the remaining count seems stable. Doing this means jumping out at a time when nobody else is, which also means players can track other jumpers to land in a zone that is free of enem

We played PUBG's PS4 version throughout launch week where none of the game's modes could be played in first-person due to a lack of players (according to the in-game notification), and played it this week to see how it's evolved after becoming the most downloaded PS4 game in December. Currently only solo play is available in first-person so players can only play with friends or matchmake with others in third-person. Most games we play in any mode cannot fill the full 100 player cap and load times are s

Aside from the haphazard messiness of the controls, one major asset of PUBG on PS4 is the dependable and realistic quality of the shooting itself, as it generally feels solid no matter which of the wealth of different guns and weapon modifications players wield. Nevertheless, basic movement and evasive maneuvers–especially when in vehicles–can occasionally be unreliable and ineffective, with the floaty feel of jumping being among the worst offenders. Naturally, this hampers the inherently pleasurable nature of getting to use the actual firing mechanics when a firefight does break out. Plus, accessing menus on the fly is incredibly unintuitive, with the poor quality of their designs and layouts often prompting confusion and frustration. With this being the case, the PlayStation 4 iteration of the title doesn't offer too much incentive for players to stick around for more than a few matches at a time, thus hindering its overall replay val

On consoles, there are different control types, on the PC, Project windless the keyboard can be remapped, and on the mobile version, players can add on-screen buttons. Custom controls will almost always help in favor of the pla

August was a hot month for game bans in Australia. First up was zombie survival Day-Z which was refused classification on the grounds of "morality" which is speculated to be due to the presence of we

Bethesda has released a statement saying that "There have been cases where players have used third-party software to take advantage of an exploit usually in excess of hundreds of times." However, Burkett maintains that his communication with the company surrounding his specific circumstances is limited at best and his ban is still in pl

Needless to say, PUBG quickly rose up the charts on Steam and among influencers on Twitch and YouTube to dethrone H1Z1 and hit record levels of concurrent players. Despite a small development cycle and small dev team (since renamed PUBG Corporation), PUBG became a phenomenon as an early access games as a service title, so much so, that Microsoft signed a one-year exclusivity deal to bring it to Xbox by the end of 2

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, 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 picking the clothes, the players must understand that white, red, green, and blue pixels will be easily visible on monitors/TVs. Wearing fancy items will undoubtedly make a player look cool but not as cold as winning the game. That is why everyone must try to pick darker cloths, as they blend much easily into the shadows and d

There are plenty of objects in the environment that can help players hide and run in between, which is what players should do. Stay near the cover and observe the situation and then run to the next shel

Yet, as player numbers dropped and competition became more prominent, Bluehole finally caved to audience demands and removed the ability to search for games by region. While it was a well-received—albeit incredibly late—gesture, it did relatively little to stem the torrent of cheaters plaguing Western servers. Players can easily use a VPN service to artificially switch regions, and there are similar workarounds for the ping lock restriction. Things may be a little better than they once were, but aim-botting, unkillable cheaters sporting triple-digit ping figures are still fairly common in most ar

Epic Games loves to interact with fans, and they often get feedback from fans and use that to create content. They also let users know beforehand when they plan to release major updates—sometimes they can make a show out of it—so that players don’t open the launcher to find an unexpected upd
