Back in March of last year, Indian districts of Rajkot, Bhavnagar, and Gir Somnath all banned PUBG Mobile after a public outcry citing concerns for children’s welfare. The move came due to fears of addiction, violence and antisocial behav
Players familiar with the first-person shooter genre are more than likely aware of the varying functions that a gun will serve in a match. Shotguns are for close range, Pistols are for short-range and finishing off weak enemies, sniper-rifles are for long-range, but how do we navigate what purpose Assault rifles serve? And the question is not an easy one to answer, but we will expand upon how Assault rifles can be u
the bird that drinks tears video Game 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
Radical Heights is offline as of the writing of this article, so that should go a long way towards to explaining why it rates as the absolute worst. This ’80s nostalgia-themed spin saw some initial promise when it released into early access on Steam, with gamers charmed by its neon-retro aesthetic and gimmicky game show presentat
Assault rifles sort of fill this weird limbo within PUBG. They aren’t exactly good for long-range fights like sniper rifles are, but they also aren’t better than other weapons for close-range combat. So what do we make of these weapons? If they aren’t designed for long or close-range combat what is their purpose? And the answer is that they aren’t meant to fill both and some middle gro
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is incredible for the simple fact that it might be the best iteration of a survival multiplayer game the world has ever seen—balancing has been impeccable, strategies are numerous, and the difficulty of the game is just satisfying enough that many players have experienced a victory at least once while retaining enough of a challenge to keep them coming back to chase that post-victory high. The game is still a work in progress, too, so there’s every reason to believe that PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is on a skyward trajectory that might not have even reached its peak as of yet—scary thinking for competitors, but for fans of the game, a promising beginning to the new y
“Like the current free-to-open system, you will be limited in the number of crates you can receive each week, with the crate prices being reset each Monday. Currently, this limit is set to 6 crates per week, and you are free to trade them on the Steam Marketplace. I also want to point out that the full cosmetic system is still being discussed internally, and we are taking your concerns into consideration when it comes to the ability to get free cosmetics by playing the ga
Despite being in early-access, PUBG is already an overwhelming success. It regularly dethrones League of Legends as the most streamed game on Twitch. It will be seeing a console release on the Xbox One by year’s end, and it seems to have cemented the battle royale arena as a fully-fledged genre in gaming. Major studios are already taking notice, with games like Grand Theft Auto Online and Fortnite adding battle royale game modes of their own. From starting as a mod-of-a-mod to serving as the basis for several major games, the journey this genre has undertaken thus far is already quite incredible. This is really just the beginning though! Who else out there is looking forward to seeing where these games go next?
However, that’s also precisely why Firestorm doesn’t climb higher on the list. While it fits into the Battlefield series perfectly, it fails to really push the envelope in terms of gameplay. There’s not a whole lot Firestorm does that other battle royale games aren’t doing, outside of providing much more fulfilling vehicular gameplay than most of t
In 2012, a modder by the name of Dean Hall released a mod for ARMA 2 called “DayZ.” Its extreme survival focus being the result of Hall’s desire to create an experience that would cause its players to seriously consider their surroundings and survival needs, rather than just blindly reacting. As it turned out, many gamers out there were hungry for this new kind of gaming experience, and DayZ released to massive praise and popularity. So like ARMA 2 before it, DayZ also attracted a healthy modding community, and it wasn’t long before some members of that community starting trying to adapt the game’s survival elements for pvp-focused experiences. It wasn’t until a year later though, in 2013, that PlayerUnknown would make his debut and deliver one of the most influential DayZ mods to date, “PlayerUnknown’s Battle Royale.”
