Even though I've only put a few hours into Battlegrounds at this point since jumping in, I can already see it as a title that I'll more than likely come back to in the coming months. With rounds that usually extend for me around 20-30 minutes (if I don't get killed right from the get-go), the game has drawn in me like few others ever have, much less any type of survival sim or Early Access game before it, and most of that comes down to its incredibly streamlined sense of survival at play, and how it draws players together in a fight to the finish. To say Battlegrounds is exhilarating is an understatement: even in its earliest state right now, I've kept coming back to the game night after night because it's gotten my blood pumping like few other games have in the past few ye

The core idea of PUBG is easy to grasp and immediately accessible, though there are additional layers to the gameplay that make surviving to the end (and winning the game's signature "chicken dinner") even more challenging. While PUBG 's roots can be traced to several different "battle royale" and survival games like DayZ and Arma II (with developer Brendan Greene's earliest concepts for this game coming from his work on mods for both of those titles), its success can easily be tied to how it boils down the core concepts of survival into a streamlined, satisfying, and heart-pounding experie

Rockstar has been pretty adamant that RDR2 will not be following in the footsteps of GTA 5 and will not have multiple protagonists. That being said, Rockstar has been known to be full of lies in the past to throw off audien

Specifically, Greene clarified with the game's new cosmetic crates that players will be limited in the number of crates that can be received each week, as crate prices will be reset every Monday. Players will (currently) be limited to six crates per week, while trading and distribution of the crates will be free through the Steam Marketplace. Greene also provided some images of new items that can be found in the two new free-to-open crates coming with the Monthly Upd

Bluehole and PLAYERUNKNOWN (Brendan Greene) have been hard at work on their latest patch for PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS . The Early Access Month 2 Update brings a new vehicle, a new weapon, client performance optimization and much more. The update is scheduled to go live on May 25 5PM KST/1AM PDT/8AM UTC and is expected to take approx. 1 hour to compl

PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS is a last-man-standing shooter being developed with community feedback. Starting with nothing, players must fight to locate weapons and supplies in a battle to be the lone survivor. This realistic, high tension game is set on a massive 8x8 km island with a level of detail that showcases Unreal Engine 4's capabilit

It would be easy to play out, as you have the whole Van Der Linde gang at your side. Having to play out all their stories instead of just Morgan’s wouldn’t be too difficult to pull off. Also, ethnic diversity would be a nice addit

On that last point, PUBG is by no means the "best" game from this year. On a technical level, it's still riddled with bugs and in dire need of fine-tuned optimization on PC (and on Xbox One as well, given the reports of its significant technical performance issues). Likewise, its progression and micro-transactions systems are a step back compared to the more satisfying sense of earning loot and rewards from investing time into it as games like Overwatch prov

In the same way that Counter-Strike 's early days led to it dominating the competitive scene and Minecraft 's years of beta access led to it becoming a game that defined a generation, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds isn't necessarily the first "battle royale" game out there, but it is the one that's leading the charge on making players fight to survive, and it's thrilling in every

First, let's start with the basics. PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is a survival first/third-person shooter that revolves around the idea of a "battle royale" experience, where 100 players are dropped onto a remote location and forced into battle to kill the remaining players and be the last one standing. As we've seen from books and movies like Battle Royale and The Hunger Games , PUBG missions activates a primitive, yet entertaining, enjoyment from fighting to survive by whatever means necessary, and that's a large portion of its addictive nat

In the hours I've played in Battlegrounds , I've come out of each round with wildly different outcomes. Some matches I died almost immediately after parachuting into a dropzone, due to either just dumb luck or a lack of vital resources to gather. Other times, my friends and I rode our way to near-victory ( with our best Squad game resulting in #2 placement ) and executed squad tactics with lethal precision - only for the game's unpredictable ways catching us by surprise in the

According to the post from PUBG Corps, the new update will be applied today to the game's test server, and will move over to the live servers at a later time once the patch is stabilized and and tested among the playerb
