PlayerUnknown s Battlegrounds PS4 Review: Ugly And Unfinished

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


The utility behind this maneuver is extremely practical and can be an excellent feather in a player's cap. This technique can allow for quick vehicular dismounts from otherwise lethal situations or it can be an extremely potent diversion tactic. Either way, this is a maneuver that should be practiced and implemented into any aspiring player's reperto

It shouldn't surprise anyone that Battlefield pulls off the battle royale shtick incredibly well. With its celebrated core multiplayer revolving around squad-based combat on huge, richly detailed maps, there really wasn't much embellishment necessary to fit into the for


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


There's fun to be had as a social experience, and PUBG is certainly better than the sum of its many subpar parts, but the resources earned through the record-breaking success of PUBG have not translated into a game that holds up in the current climate of high-end shooters, and we can only hope that if major updates (or a sequel of sorts) are on the way, that PUBG's success supports a triple-A experience instead of a frustrating one that looks and feels dated. But given where we're at now, after nearly two years since its first release, and the fact that PUBG Corporation released the game in this state on PS4, there's little h


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


As with all games, this downward trend in player count likely has a considerable amount to do with the game’s age. Few titles can boast the continued popularity of software like CS:GO or Team Fortress 2 , and, according to Steam Charts , this update did virtually nothing to draw players back to the game. While its status as a willing victim of player mal-intent couldn’t have helped, it’s likely that PUBG is succumbing to simple entr


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


This technique is one that can be the difference in winning or losing engagement in PUBG. Having the ability to quickly escape a room or pursue an enemy through windows is an excellent ace up any player's sleeve. It may sound like a small and useless ability but it can be the difference between living or dying in a heated firefi


Now onto the new crates themselves. Here is a look (up top and below) at some of the items available in the 2 free-to-open crates. There's an additional one only available during Gamescom that requires the purchase of a $2.50 key to o


One of the key principles that can be forgotten is the crucial reality that a bad weapon loadout can spell death for a player. Having two sniper rifles or a pistol and a shotgun or any variety of un-optimized gear can cause unnecessary death and loss during a match of PUBG. The only exception to this rule is during early match scrambles for gear and weaponry. At this point during a match, survival is the main focus but keeping an eye out for ideal weapons, ammo types, scopes, or vehicles is essential for match succ

However, that's also precisely why Firestorm doesn't climb higher on the list. While it fits into the Battlefield series perfectly, Metaverse gaming it fails to really push the envelope in terms of gameplay. There's not a whole lot Firestorm does that other battle royale games aren't doing, outside of providing much more fulfilling vehicular gameplay than most of t
