PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds PS4 Review: Ugly and Unfinished

a person is holding a small bottle with a hummingbird inside of itSure this is far from that "meat and potatoes" we were talking about when discussing these two titans, but Fortnite's price point, or lack of should we say, has always been a big caveat. To this day PUBG still retails for $29.99 dollars, and that remained its price point long before it was a finished game, when it was a buggy mess back in Beta. Fortnite on the other hand has been a complete package since day 1, and has always been free with a fair micro transaction system that has been adapted all over the gaming wo

Often gaming bans are justified. We can get behind the bans for smurfing , piggy-backing and outright cheating . However, some of these gaming sanctions are downright crazy. From punishments related to political views to banning entire games in a country, here are 5 of the most bogus game bans we've s

Every new update to PUBG comes with a slew of patch notes, gameplay fixes, and minute changes to the way weapon damage, item handling, and other invisible game mechanics are handled. While there are already many guides on the best weapons in PUBG's Season 7 , what follows below is a detailed explanation of some of the best locations in PUBG's updated version of Vikendi for dropping into, be it for loot or for tactical advant

This is the part where many gamers rightfully bash PUBG into the the grave that it deserves to die in after introducing it's shady business practices. First, charge for a game that's an unfinished buggy mess that continued to be an unfinished buggy mess for years to come. Second, bring in a shady micro-transaction lottery system that rewards you with crappy cosmetic items for a bloated price. Third, copy the fair and successful battle pass formula that Fortnite has implemented since the start of the series. Boy are those PUBG devs shady, and while the Epic Game's higher ups are no less shady, they at least implemented fair business practices in their most profitable g

Even if we compare the OG maps from these two games it's a bit of a toss up as to which is the winner. Sure Fortnite has Tilted Towers, but PUBG has School; and in case you don't play the latter, School is a place where half of the lobby's players drop resulting in a massacre that leaves only one or two survivors who are barely clinging to life. But that's just the OG maps, PUBG now has four unique maps, all of which are just as good as the original in their own rights. Fortnite is finally making an alteration to it's original map, so there's not much competition h

When it comes to the technical aspects of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds on PS4, those looking for an experience rich in graphical and sonic fidelity will walk away sorely disappointed. It must be noted, though, that unlike the way in which the title released through Xbox Game Preview about a year ago, PUBG on PS4 is at the very least stable, despite the sporadic environment bugs and avatar errors that can generate weird, but brief glitches. Plus, it manages to run at a decent frame rate for the most part, save for some isolated instances of stuttering and slowdown when certain areas are highly populated with players at the beginning of a ma

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

The Xbox version of the game, a half-baked port of a PC title which isn't well optimized as is on its lead platform, still runs poorly even on the powerful Xbox One X. Its fundamental gameplay mechanics are clunky and subpar compared to any other notable shooter, and it looks dated. Skip forward a year, and now PlayStation 4 players can experience the same disappointment and bugs. Little has changed, and Project Windless shockingly, PUBG on PS4 is the worst version of the g

One of Vikendi's most popular areas before the map was pulled from PUBG rotation , the Abbey returns in a slightly altered and much less accessible format here. Previously larger and located in the southern middle of the map, now the Abbey has been moved to the top of Mount Kreznic. Despite its remote location, however, players should seriously consider the Abbey as a great place to either drop in on or swing by on the way to the circle, even if getting there from ground level takes a little longer than it used

It's just you, a straightforward perspective and absolutely no cheese at all. It makes sound much more important too, as now with your reduced perspective you have to rely on all of your senses. Another caveat is you pay a lot more attention to the detail and the graphics of the g
