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
One of Vikendi’s most popular areas before the map was pulled from PUBG rotation , the Abbey returns in a slightly altered and much less accessible format here. Previously larger and located in the southern middle of the map, now the Abbey has been moved to the top of Mount Kreznic. Despite its remote location, however, players should seriously consider the Abbey as a great place to either drop in on or swing by on the way to the circle, even if getting there from ground level takes a little longer than it used
The most baffling part is that the game had previously been classified for release, just with a different publisher, (although it appears these records have since been removed) The whole situation has left even the countries politicians confu
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
In offline games where someone plays solo, cheating can make the game a lot more fun. But in multiplayer games, especially online, cheating can be a game-ruining experience for most gamers. That’s why it’s astounding how PUBG has so many cheaters. The developers have refused to region-lock the game, so it’s had cheaters since the beginning, and the problem has only gotten worse with time. These cheaters make the game a lot less fun, and frustrated gamers tend to go to Fortni
Back in March of last year, Indian districts of Rajkot, Bhavnagar, and Gir Somnath all banned PUBG Mobile after a public outcry citing concerns for children’s welfare. The move came due to fears of addiction, violence and antisocial behav
Needless to say, with the power and reputation of Activision’s golden child behind it, it was practically impossible for Blackout to fail. It’s definitely one of the more well optimized and frequently updated battle royale titles on the list, and those merits alone do a great deal to carry it. Nevermind the fact that it’s a blast to p
Often gaming bans are justified. We can get behind the bans for smurfing , piggy-backing and outright cheating . However, some of these gaming sanctions are downright crazy. From punishments related to political views to banning entire games in a country, here are 5 of the most bogus game bans we’ve s
After deciding he wanted a change he jumped into the game, which he had presented a Best Multiplayer Game award to just days earlier at The Game Awards. After logging in he discovered the ban, forcing a switch to Dead By Dayli
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
PUBG’s Season 7 provides a dangerous new environment for players to traverse, but thankfully they won’t have to worry about his things like falling through the ice or dying from hypothermia. Instead, players will have to keep an eye on moving trains, evidence of vehicle traffic, and the ever-present looming blue circle which, while it still does the same amount of damage as gamers are used to, provides a smaller initial safe area than people are used to. There are a number of new and revised areas in Season 7’s version of Vikendi, and some of the best ones to drop into are detailed be
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
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
