The Rise and Fall of PUBG in India

The Rise and Fall of PUBG in India

PUBG had not only become India’s most popular game, but also became a reason for social gatherings. Instead of just hanging out and chatting at their usual spots, you’ll see kids and young adults specifically meeting to play PUBG Mobile. A cigarette or Hazard Transformation tea break from work usually included a round of the game. At a previous company, the entire design team would synchronize their breaks to dive into Erangel. The game even gave rise to a whole segment of streamers with millions of subscribers, something that was quite rare before PUBG took over the coun

Even a teammate who has been totally killed can be returned if you grab the banner left behind with their death and find a respawn beacon. It's a bit of a shame that quad queues won't be coming to the game, but this holds just as true in duos and tr

If this seems like too much of a responsibility, you can follow the prompt to relinquish the responsibility. Picking when and wear to drop is a delicate balance. You want to try and maximize the chance of getting some loot, but drops that are too close to other jumpers can lead to some dicey first minutes of gameplay. There's a lot to learn here, so it can be worth it to read up on what makes a dropsite a good o

Mirage as a Legend has seen the most movement on tier lists as the seasons have progressed. His ability to make clones of himself once came across poorly due to how fake they were. These days they've been buffed to a place where Mirage now stands as one of the better Legends. Players who enjoy a bit of psychological warfare and confusion will have a blast playing as Mirage. The fact that he cloaks when reviving teammates manually or at beacons also makes him a pretty powerful addition to any t

It's fine when games aim for realism, but that should never come at the expense of having fun. As rational as the concept of fall damage is, it never translates to anything meaningful in a gaming experience. Even FromSoftware - the master of having your character die as a result of irritating fall damage - eventually saw the error of its ways and made Sekiro, a game where you jump around like a samurai sword-wielding Ma

Once you hit dirt, you’ve got to start grabbing some loot. Loot tends to be located either inside buildings or in special orange or blue containers found throughout the map, often in pairs. The array of loot can be confusing at first, so its good to learn what it all d

Fall damage makes logical sense. After all, it's possible to suffer an intense sprain or broken bone from something as simple as tripping on the sidewalk. Gravity can be one of reality's greatest villains. So when a game is aiming to be as realistic and authentic as possible, having severe, painful consequences for a high fall is a perfectly reasonable design cho

Revenant was one of the rare cases in which a new character addition wasn't something that broke or altered the game. He was quite lackluster and his usefulness was as close to being non-existent as possible. Since then he's seemingly received buff after buff and those changes have made him a competent legend that's finding himself on plenty of team compositions. People should never underestimate the fact that he can crouch-walk faster and climb higher than any other legend in the g

"In light of recent developments, PUBG Corporation has made the decision to no longer authorize the PUBG MOBILE franchise to Tencent Games in India. Moving forward, PUBG Corporation will take on all publishing responsibilities within the country. As the company explores ways to provide its own PUBG experience for India in the near future, it is committed to doing so by sustaining a localized and healthy gameplay environment for its fans," said the blog post by PUBG C

Revenant seems like a complicated character at first, but ultimately his skills are pretty simple and you can make good use of them with very little effort, whether you want to be a hardcore damage-dealing champion or a faithful comrade that supports from the sideli

When talking to professional gamers you'll find that characters that allow for improved movement and mobility will always be favorable in their eyes. Wraith lets players engage and get aggressive with the enemy, but at the same time provides options for being able to retreat saf

Apex Legends was applauded for the innovation of its easy to use "ping" system, which other games have begun to copy. This allows players to easily share information with the press of a button, even if they don’t have micropho

Respawn Entertainment's Apex Legends made quite a splash when it landed and is currently in the midst of its seventh season of play. With the game having undergone significant balancing and expansion, it’s the perfect time for new players to make their first jump. However, all the content can be quite overwhelming at first glance, especially for players who aren’t used to the incredibly influential Battle Royale format in a shooclass=
