Can PlayerUnknown s Battlegrounds Remain Popular Long-Term

From the get-go, it seems that developer PUBG Corp. was constantly putting out fires. After a mere three months of wildly popular success having sold over five million copies, _ PUBG _ came hurtling back to earth almost as fast as _ Fortnite _ became a household name. From hacking , to cheating , to offensive in-game items , to overall bugs and performance issues , _ PUBG _ has been through the ringer. At one point, PUBG Corp. even sued the developer of _ Fortnite _ , Epic Games, claiming that the game creator had stolen _ PUBG’s _ battle royale formula. However, the lawsuit came to a surprisingly abrupt end and was withdrawn, essentially allowing the two battle royale titles to coex


You can't hide underwater so easily anymore! Air only lasts 15 seconds now when submersed instead of 35 seconds and once you’ve run out of air, you’ll now take 10 damage per second (up from four damage per second). And to recover from being submersed, players need 4 seconds instead of 1. Needless to say, you're in trouble if you're trying to escape or hide in water while being trac


The biggest game on Steam is getting its biggest update since launching out of early access in December. The phenomenon known as **PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds ** is currently working through issues getting a second map on the Xbox One version, but on the PC version, a third map is currently in testing as developers at Bluehole's PUBG Corp also prepare to launch its twelfth major update. This one - given the amount of changes it offers - will be on the test server for a wh


Many would guess that the popular book and movie series The Hunger Games partially inspired the BR genre the gaming industry is seeing these days, and while it certainly inspired the Minecraft mods that led to games like PUBG , the Japanese book Battle Royale by Koushun Takami came beforehand and is much more clearly the inspiration for PUBG . From the island setting and grid map to incentives for players to move together and fight, this book (and movie) are what PUBG draws much of its inspiration f


The absence of building massive structures in _ PUBG _ creates the need for a more thought out strategy when traversing the wide-open terrain of the map. Should players suddenly come under fire, they will need to search for cover to avoid getting shot, rather than building up some makeshift cover. While doors and windows can be blown away, _ PUBG’s _ structures themselves do not take damage (which is surprising considering the game’s focus on realism). At any rate, (depending on the situation) shootouts tend to be intense and pulse-pounding as players peek out from behind walls with the hopes of nailing a headshot and dropping the en


But this is also the one players have been waiting for and may help bring some folks back to check out PUBG who left for Fortnite . There's a new vehicles, a new gun, multiple new weapons mods, map selection, substantial supply drop changes, and an entire rebalancing of most of the PUBG weapons. And the best part of all: no mention of loot boxes . That could be because of the latest news of a few countries making them illegal


A pair of shotguns get a one-point damage reduction while all of them get a reduction in pellet spread. The SMGs except for the Tommy Gun get a one-point damage increase. All of them get a recoil reduction, even when moving while ADSing. Shotguns and SMGs now do more damage to li

The lack of a building ability also allows _ PUBG _ to hone in on its intuitiveness. Upgrading weapons and armor is simple and easy to pick up. Tossing grenades and other throwables is a bit trickier to pull off, but once you get a feel for it, the act of throwing an explosive becomes nearly an art f


The Divinity: Original Sin games are some of the great triumphs of the crowdfunding model. Built around mechanics that traditional AAA gaming has shied away from, the tactical, slow-burning RPG gameplay has left plenty of players hoo


Although there's no denying the game's popularity, it's fair to say that the game remains something of a raw experience. Players have ridden over the bumps of poor optimization and various glitches, as the title goes through tweak after tweak to try and get its Battle Royale -esque gameplay pitch perfect. That's certainly to be expected of a title built in the games-as-service model, Https://Fpsgamerbase.Com/Guides/My-Hands-On-Journey-With-Destiny-2-S-Tablet-Of-Ruin-Artifact even from games within AAA development, but when it comes to PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds there are still areas where it is really ro


PUBG has something that both Destiny 2 and Evolve lacked, though: the sense of being unique in the marketplace. Although other games exist in the Battle Royale arena subgenre, PUBG is seen as the pick of the crop, having helped popularize that style of multiplayer gameplay more than any other game around. There's a significance behind this, and as long as PUBG stays grounded then there's every chance that its success can conti
