If you just don't want to use the companion app for your map, there is an easier way to access it. Again, the menus are a pain to navigate. Normally what it seems you have to do is hit the Options button on PS4, then select the map, and there you go. It was needlessly complicated. Well, I eventually found out that you can simply hold down Option and it'll bring it right up. That's another oops on my p

After a long period of silence , Sumo Digital and Microsoft finally shared more information on Crackdown 3 and its multiplayer mode. We learned that the game will be launching on February 15, and like other first party games will be included with Xbox Game Pass at lau

Even though the game tells you repeatedly that it’s important to eat and drink to stay alive, it really isn’t. Sleeping will pretty much rejuvenate all three of your bars, which is to say health, stamina, and your Dead Eye. Eating is just a good way when exploring to keep your health from draining. Another upkeep feature that isn't that necessary is grooming. If you want to trim your hair, or beard, cool, but you can also let them g

While PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has been available for some time, the Battle Royale phenomenon has only continued to grow with new updates and features added regularly, and now the game's next major update will also include its long-awaited next

Red Dead Redemption II was both my most anticipated game of 2018 and also the one I was most wary of. I was a huge fan of the first game, which came out all the way back in 2010. It was the series I dreamed of Rockstar revisiting once again, but was always let down time and time again. Sometimes when we get our dreams and wishes granted, they end up being disappointing. There was a lot that could have gone wrong with this sequel and the first few showings didn’t have me exactly thrilled. The biggest reveal was that it was a prequel and not about a new group of people. That is to say, we were going to find out what John Marston’s life was like in the height of the Van der Linde gang. Yet we weren’t going to play John, but someone completely new that was never mentioned in the first g

Think of the Mirado as a compliment to the other unique vehicles on Miramar: The van is extremely sturdy, but slow and ineffective when taken off-road; The pickup is great for off-road travel; And the Mirado is the fastest way to blaze down a high

Microsoft shocked everyone back at E3 2018 when they revealed that they had acquired Playground Games, Undead Labs, Ninja Theory, The Initiative, and Compulsion Games , but they were still able to add two more studios to that lineup today: inXile Entertainment and Obsidian Entertainm

Sanhok is 4km x 4km map (one fourth the size of Erangel or Miramar). Although games tend to end a little more quickly on this tiny island, battles are still massive. Every game still features 100 play

Wow. While Xbox Game Pass may still be the third most popular gaming subscription service , in my opinion, it offers the strongest lineup of titles available without the need of streaming. The service is discounted for the time being and you'll soon be able to download games from your phone as well, so now seems like as good of a time as ever to jump

Fortnite can feel the complete opposite. Don’t get me wrong; the game is fantastic. I see why it has exploded into what it is today. It still never connected with me though. While you will find yourself in a lot more battles in Epic’s rendition of battle Royale nostalgia royale, I always felt that it was missing some suspense. No matter where you are at in Fortnite , you have cover. Well, unless you do not have any building materials, but that is not to often since you can gather materials from almost every object. Running from town to town usually is not an issue because if an enemy spots you and starts firing, just pop up a few walls and boom, cover! In fact, you can pull an entire fortress out of your pocket at a moment's notice, provided you have the equipment. If I see another player off in the distance, a distance close enough that I can do some damage, I won’t bother because the opponent can erect a tower at the snap of a fin

Microsoft just held their Inside Xbox: X018 Special, which was home to a wide variety of interesting announcements regarding upcoming lineup of games, DLC, and updates. That being said, six specific announcements stood out from the pack, so I wanted to highlight them here for those of you that may have missed this latest Inside Xbox Livestr

In addition to the new map, the patch itself also covers a lot of other ground as far as new items, features, and updates. Specifically, the update includes a new weapon exclusive to the Sanhok map in the QBZ95, a new assault rifle that is meant to take the place of the SCA

Comparing this to PUBG is almost like a night and day difference. You must always be on your toes. One bad decision could cost you and your squad the match. Whether it is how you ransack a set of buildings, or how you make your approach toward the circle, battlegrounds will always reward the squad that communicates and puts some careful thought into their playst
