DecemberPlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds PS4 Review: Ugly and Unfinished
MK14 is one of the most sought after guns in the game because of insane versatility and high base damage. You can put the gun in automatic mode, and it will essentially become an assault rifle, or you can use it as a sniper rifle for picking out enemies far away. Whether it’s a close-combat or a long-range skirmish, MK14 suffices every role. It also has a ridiculous DPS, and players capable of handling MK14 often net high ki
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds may be one of the most dominant multiplayer releases of the past few years, but its shortcomings have come to eclipse the title’s once-sterling reputation. While the community circa March 2017 was optimistic and largely agreed that the game had quite a lot of potential, things seem on the verge of unraveling just two years later. When news came in late September last year that developer Bluehole would be axing the option to switch regions and gating certain players’ access to servers depending on ping, PUBG fans rejoiced. However, nearly six months have gone by since these features were implemented in Update 22, and the game’s multiplayer functionalities are still in a state of ch
All of this is not to say that PUBG on PS4 isn't fun, as it's definitely a serviceable experience for Battle Royale aficionados who want a more strategic and deliberately paced alternative to competitors like Fortnite and Black Ops 4 's Blackout . Unfortunately, though, there are still a host of problems that PUBG Corp. needs to address so as to justify the PlayStation 4 port's $30 price
Yet, as player numbers dropped and Project Windless competition became more prominent, Bluehole finally caved to audience demands and removed the ability to search for games by region. While it was a well-received—albeit incredibly late—gesture, it did relatively little to stem the torrent of cheaters plaguing Western servers. Players can easily use a VPN service to artificially switch regions, and there are similar workarounds for the ping lock restriction. Things may be a little better than they once were, but aim-botting, unkillable cheaters sporting triple-digit ping figures are still fairly common in most ar
Kicking off with a surprising entry, Vector has become a complete beast after the SMG buffs. Its overall customizability and the ease of access makes it a top tier gun. Players can easily find Vector in the early stages of the game, and when fully equipped, it can beat out anything in close range. However, the gun does struggle without an Extended Mag as its mag size is very low. It’s also not appropriate for long-range fights where it can easily be beaten out by other g
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
Known as **PUBG ** for short, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is a massive PvP competitive shooter that can be played solo, with a friend, or with a squad of four, in first-person and third-person. The goal is to jump from a plane and land somewhere on one of the game's maps, gather weapons and gear, and survive until the end as the playable map area continuously shrinks. It's the go-to formula that every major shooter brand is looking into and its mainstream success started with PUBG - of which Fortnite admittedly copied and made even more popu
If you don’t finish the target in the first two rounds or if the enemy is 10 meters away, then Sawed-off becomes a liability. It has the highest potential damage out of any other handgun, but it also has the lowest effective ra
The crossbow is very hard to rank amongst other weapons due to it being very different and unique. It is only the truly silent weapon, and it also packs an ability to one-shot any level Helmet in the game. However, its dreadful range and abysmal fire rate make it very less viable in an actual game. It is a niche weapon that can be used in case of urgency or if players are trying to have
Unfortunately, that thrill is marred by bad interface designs that make looting and managing inventory painful and dangerous, given that you can be shot while navigating tabs and manually moving things around while trying to loot or mod a weapon. The devs did minimal work in translating the game to console controllers, and didn't take any of the learnings from other games that do this bet
Playerunknown's Battleground ** _s** _ is a deeply complex and realistic take on the battle royale genre. Providing realistic shooting mechanics on top of a vast assortment of techniques that challenge a player's technical skill. PUBG is as rewarding as it can be brutal, the ability to continually expand the skill gap between a new player and a master is rooted in both game knowledge and pract
