PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds PS4 Review

In a marketplace crowded with Battle Royale titles , PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds on PS4 manages to deliver a fine, albeit flawed rendition on the genre, which is somewhat of a shame considering the lengthy amount of time it took for PUBG Corp. to finish and release it on the console. After all, with the Krafton game IP having been available for quite a while on Android, iOS, PC, and Xbox One prior to being obtainable on PlayStation 4, one would think that a lot of the lessons learned from those versions would have been applied to the PS4 iteration to eliminate any lingering issues in the p

Rapid-fire, or full auto, is typically used exclusively in close-quarter combat. Due to the intense recoil of PUBG __ keeping your weapon in full auto is both a waste of bullets and an impossible to control. However, when used in close range fights, full auto can quickly dispatch of an enemy even with minimal accuracy. "Spraying and praying" in a match of PUBG can be a valid strategy, but only in high-risk close range engagements, otherwise it is a inefficient use of a

Windlass Group TestNot to mention, controlling the third-person camera tends to be a nuisance. This is chiefly true when players enter into a small, cramped building, as the perspective often cannot find a happy medium between being too close and too far away. One rarely gets a good handle on their surroundings in tight locations, leaving them open to unforeseen atta

P18C: The P18C is an autofire pistol that can chew up opponents at close to medium range. Perhaps, it's the most deadly pistol in PUBG . If players are having a difficult time finding a decent arsenal during a match, then this pistol is a good sidearm to start with and hold o

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

Most games nowadays are monetized by loot boxes, where gamers pay actual cash for in-game items that aren’t guaranteed. It is a form of gambling, and it preys on young and vulnerable gamers. So, it’s a breath of fresh air to realize that Fortnite ’s microtransaction system is the Battle Pass, which is basically a seasonal subscript

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

The single-shot rate of fire is the go-to fire rate when engaging in long to mid-range firefights. This allows a player to maintain accuracy and not succumb to the brutal recoil on most weapons. Using a single-shot and a mid to long-range scope can turn any assault rifle into a powerful sniper rifle. The use of single-shot can be the difference in a firefight when used effectively and accurat

When a safe distance from any of the popular landmarks or the plane's path players will find a low populated, if not empty, landmark to loot at their leisure. This can allow players to collect a powerful arsenal of weapons and gear and steer them on the right path of survi

For players who can't get into Fortnite or Call of Duty: Black Ops 4's Blackout battle royale mode, PUBG is certainly worth checking out, but only for those who have a PlayStation 4 Pro. The game can barely run on the standard PS4 and it's not even worth trying there. It's important to note that there's less available in the PlayStation 4 version of the g

With the video game landscape currently littered with a wide variety of Battle Royale titles, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds should be recognized as a more specialized and concentrated approach to the genre, as its heart lies primarily in the tactical-shooter domain. The PS4 version reflects this in more ways than one by retaining practically all of the main elements found in the game's PC, Xbox One, and mobile iterations . However, the complete experience and presentation of PUBG on the Sony console can often be hit or m

PUBG ( PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds ) and Fortnite are two of the hottest video games in the world of any genre. From the time they launched, these two video games have each attracted millions of players, helped to create the careers of numerous streamers and have spawned a legion of memes . They are, without a doubt, two of the most popular games of this generat

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
