DecemberPUBG Region-Locked China, But It Hasn't Brought Players Back
Yeah, yeah it is! We've done two years straight now. We've done this live podcast, which started off more as just a podcast, but this year, because of the reboot and all of that, it sort of took on a life of its own and became this event that we weren't originally setting out to do, but we did it! We ended up making this weekend out of it for fans of 90210. People flew in from all over the world, and we held the podcast at Torrance High School, where we shot the original show. That was West Beverly High. I had a bunch of cast members from the old show. Douglas Emerson, who played Scott, and Joe E. Tata, who played Nat, and Ian (Ziering) was there, and Gabrielle (Carteris) was there, and Christine Elise was there, and it was a really good time. So we all just sat and talked and had fun, and we had these really great packages for the people that were fans of the show to come. In some packages, they got to tour around in a car with the executive producer and one of the writers of the show, and they got to Hitman GO mobile to locations from the show and talk with them in the car. We had all these really special things. Some people got to tour the campus of the school. It was really fun. We ended up doing the whole thing with 100% of the proceeds going to generosity.org and to colorectal cancer awareness for Luke. It became a really great way to raise money for those foundations and to pay homage to the show and have fun with fans. I don't know if we'll do it again because it was a lot of work (Laughs), but the podcast has been really fun. We don't have any corporate sponsors, so Derek, my partner, we just hop on the phone together and we record on Sk
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
Not 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
Third-person is the standard version of both games, but PUBG takes the gold here with their first-person mode, that quite honestly might be the best way to play. You see, with first-person there just isn't any cheese, you can't see corners that you wouldn't normally see or have blind corner batt
No, it's not. The amount of carbon... One of the biggest things we're fighting in the climate crisis is the emission of carbon. That alone is being remedied in large part by the Amazon. And the Amazon being burned, and not being able to be part of our fight... It's so import
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
A Chinese redditor recently posted an attempt at explaining the culture surrounding gaming in their home country, and they seem to suggest that, for many of their peers, the ends justify the means when it comes to online gaming. While most Western gamers are apt to feel that a victory is meaningless if they cheated their way to the top, a significant number of gamers in China don’t share those same qua
But player counts don't mean everything, and if we're still talking numbers, than PUBG mobile's player count of 400 million truly takes the cake. Statistics finally aside, it's time to tackle the meat and potatoes of these two games and decide which one is a truly battle royale k
PUBG has brought a whole new meaning to the word sterile. Even today the game looks like an earlier edition of Call of Duty that was stripped down to it's barest of bones. The only personality it has that comes to mind is the iconic level three helmet and the frying pan, but there's not much more than t
Fans from around the world have long asked Bluehole to block Chinese players from accessing other regions, and Eastern gaming titan Tencent even introduced a host of region-exclusive servers for PUBG Mobile in the hopes that it would incentivize players based in China to stay within their digital territ
