5 Reasons Why PUBG Is The Definitive Battle Royale Game (& 5 Why It's Fortnite)

5 Reasons Why PUBG Is The Definitive Battle Royale Game (& 5 Why It's Fortnite)

The reaction was so swift and extreme even Jeff Kaplan spoke out against it and Reddit started a movement to #BoycottBlizzard . Amid the chaos, it was also discovered that Hearthstone forum users speaking out have been slapped with 1000 year bans . O

Fortnite also adds new skins and dance moves constantly, so there is always something to entice players to go back to the game. The seasons also wrap up pretty fast compared to other esports games, and each new season brings its own challenges and features. In short, Fortnite is a game that is always evolving and getting bet

What's also a letdown is PUBG's development focus that has seen a slow rollout of content and essential fixes, consistently poor optimization, and an aggressive focus on unwelcome microtransactions for cosmetics, and worse, loot boxes. When combined with a terrible reward rate of in-game currency, PUBG's gameplay loop is simply a turn

M416 is the only non-air-drop 5.56 weapon that is still in the high tier. Even though it has been nerfed multiple times in the past, the gun still is a solid option that is fit for every situation. It’s way more versatile than any other assault rifle in the same class, and overall, it has been an old faithful for most play

Rolex: Cloud9 is one of the biggest if not the biggest sports teams globally. Recently, Cloud9 was recognized as the esports organization of the year. 2018 was a very successful year and I don’t expect any less for the fut

Still, surely they are supportive of those still playing the game, right? Wrong. For those brave adventurers still fighting the numerous bugs , Bethesda has handed out a couple of bans we still can't get our heads aro

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

DayZ wasn't the only game to fall foul of a random ruling either. Kingdom Come Deliverance has also found itself being refused a classification for its 'Royal Edition' which combines the original and DLC into one game, despite the title previously being classified with no issues back in 2

There's fun to be had as a social experience, and PUBG is certainly better than the sum of its many subpar parts, but The callisto protocol resources earned through the record-breaking success of PUBG have not translated into a game that holds up in the current climate of high-end shooters, and we can only hope that if major updates (or a sequel of sorts) are on the way, that PUBG's success supports a triple-A experience instead of a frustrating one that looks and feels dated. But given where we're at now, after nearly two years since its first release, and the fact that PUBG Corporation released the game in this state on PS4, there's little h

The most baffling part is that the game had previously been classified for release, just with a different publisher, (although it appears these records have since been removed) The whole situation has left even the countries politicians confu

The most random ban was the player who seemingly got banned due to being too good at the game. It appears that he had an item that reduced his inventory weight so he went on a bullet collecting spree. When this was combined with him logging between characters to swap items around Bethesda thought he was cheati

Bethesda has released a statement saying that "There have been cases where players have used third-party software to take advantage of an exploit usually in excess of hundreds of times." However, Burkett maintains that his communication with the company surrounding his specific circumstances is limited at best and his ban is still in pl

Vector: This is one machine gun that can easily turn the tides with any shootout. By default, it doesn't come with many bullets. So, if possible, finding an extended magazine can double players' chances for survival. This is especially true for close-range fights that have little wiggle-room for players to avoid fire. However, if players keep seeing themselves in firefights that are at distance, it is best to switch to something else and save the Vector for a rainy

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
