Within the game, you'll notice what may be the worst texture pop-in you've seen on the PlayStation 4, severe frame rate drops and the clunkiest shooting and looting mechanics. To play as a shooter experience, PUBG is bad and so it shouldn't be played for that. What it does well however, and this part translates to every version of the game (even on mobile), is the feeling of survival and when playing with others, the team-based tact

Now, however, multiplayer has evolved into something that even those who have never picked up a controller have a better understanding of. Games like PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds have captured the imagination of the world and fused victorious phrases like "winner winner, chicken dinner" into popular culture's colloquiali

So why did For Honor never seem to gain much traction in 2017? It's tough to say—a lot of games got lost in the shuffle of what has to be one of the gaming industry's most illustrious years yet. Ubisoft has remained committed to providing new content for players, however, and anyone who missed For Honor the first time around would be remiss not to give it a look during the holiday sea

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

File this one under "could have been multiplayer game of the year just a few years ago." Ubisoft's For Honor takes multiplayer combat to the extreme, featuring one of the most nuanced and complicated battle systems in the genre, coupled with an eye for historical accuracy that rivals even the Assassin's Creed series. For https://pubgmcentral.xyz/articles/whispers-of-war-my-pubg-championship-journey.html Honor 's single-player campaign is worth mentioning as well, as it houses some of the best writing and level design in the multiplayer genre and should be a blueprint for those who come after it in 2

Part of the charm of the game is the way it balances killer and camp counselor, a tightrope act that shouldn't be ignored. Mechanics mesh extremely well with gameplay and give players a variety of options in escaping Jason Voorhees —unless they're lucky enough to play as him instead, a delightful experience that is equal parts frenetic and fun. Sure, parts of Friday the 13th: The Game are disappointing, but it was, for at least a few weeks, one of the most hotly-debated and thoroughly-enjoyed multiplayer titles of 2017, earning it a spot on this l

It’s not all bad, of course; players in southeast Asia, Oceania, and Russia have found queue times to be more tolerable since the update, and it has helped to lessen the tide of undesirable players in certain regions. That said, Bluehole hasn’t done enough to bring frustrated players back, and this is merely one of many major stability issues inherent in the experience. While titles like Epic Games’ Fortnite and the aforementioned Apex Legends seem to be providing much smoother, more player-friendly experiences, Bluehole appears to be doing little more than sit on their thumbs as the community which once vehemently supported their project moves on for greener pastu

2017 was a transcendent year for multiplayer video games. While the form has always had a place in the hearts of millions of different users, the past year felt like a coming out party for multiplayer on a global stage. While LAN parties have been gone for the better part of a decade now, the image of a group of gamers huddled around networked computer screens has nonetheless remained prevalent in association with the concept of multiplayer tit

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is incredible for the simple fact that it might be the best iteration of a survival multiplayer game the world has ever seen—balancing has been impeccable, strategies are numerous, and the difficulty of the game is just satisfying enough that many players have experienced a victory at least once while retaining enough of a challenge to keep them coming back to chase that post-victory high. The game is still a work in progress, too, so there's every reason to believe that PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is on a skyward trajectory that might not have even reached its peak as of yet—scary thinking for competitors, but for fans of the game, a promising beginning to the new y

San Martín is located just west of Hacienda Del Patrón. Checkpoints and barriers have transformed this once-quiet small town into a war zone. Both sides of the town have overlooks, so careful players should scout first, before charging into t

Ever since it parachuted onto the scene, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has been proving itself to be a force to be reckoned with in the gaming landscape. It’s a meteoric rise not seen since Minecraft made its early access debut back in 2009. With thousands of streamers broadcasting their skills and new players jumping in every day, its popularity is well on its way to rivaling that of the sandbox juggernaut. Where did this kind of game even come from though? New styles of gameplay don’t just spawn from the ether; they all have their origins. In the case of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds and the battle royale arena, it all started with a minor PC shooter called ARMA 2.
