Can PlayerUnknown s Battlegrounds Remain Popular Long-Term

You're going to hear from a Fortnite fan on this article, but that's only because some of us are poor and free-to-play games are the only thing we can roll with. That doesn't mean that PUBG isn't good, but hey, people just can't like both equally. So take it easy on Fortnite and Paladins. They may be similar to other games, but they offer a happiness to children and less productive grown-ups that is usually reserved for sitting around in your underwear on your couch, watching bad movies on Netf


This caught the ire of some of the gaming community, with some seeing the lawsuit as an unnecessary flexing of muscles from Bethesda to try and stop an issue that was never there in the first place. However, the two companies did come to an agreement - Mojang did not trademark the name Scrolls , with Bethesda allowing the name to be held as long as the game never became a competitor to The Elder Scrolls in gene


The importance of solving continued technical issues is not just down to delivering a satisfying gaming experience. Keeping promises to early supporters of a multiplayer game is extremely important, because it helps build a level of trust with a community at large. Conversely, failing to fix bugs and glitches (particularly those that are performance-related) can be extremely damaging to a game's br


Another comic involving a young boy and his father's utter disappointment, this time at a much early age. We believe that the baby after just being born was influenced by a doctor who was a fan of Fortnite. Get them while they are young, it always works. And it always will w


The Divinity: Original Sin games are some of the great triumphs of the crowdfunding model. Built around mechanics that traditional AAA gaming has shied away from, the tactical, slow-burning RPG gameplay has left plenty of players hoo


It's easy to recommend Act of Valor to military enthusiasts and servicemen, who will no doubt see themselves in the characters on screen, and action fans will also find plenty to like in the movie's various combat sequences. However, moviegoers expecting a fully-formed storyline with compelling character drama may ultimately be underwhelmed by the very moments that other members in the audience will find most compelling. As a result, the overall response to Act of Valor is likely to spark one of the most divisive movie conversations of 2


Pac-Man is undoubtedly one of the most important video games of all time, becoming a standout success in arcades and leading potential gamers into the hobby in droves. Unsurprisingly, this led to a number of imitators, some of which straying very close to the Pac-Man formula. One of these games was KC Munchkin! from Phillips, a game that hit the Odyssey home console in 1


The lawsuit went beyond just implying that the similarities between the games were too close for comfort, however. Instead, Bethesda suggested that the Westworld game was reusing code from Fallout Shelter , calling the game a " blatant rip-off ." Since then, Warner Bros. has hit back with a rebuttal of their own, so expect this one to rumble on for a while


Overwatch may have avoided controversy for its microtransactions, and PUBG may also manage to dodge this bullet, but that is not always the case. One major example of how microtransactions can kill a game's momentum is Evolve , the asymmetrical shooter from former Left 4 Dead developer Turtle Rock. The title had a hugely popular beta testing period, fpspedia.com and a lot was expected of it when it launched pro


In the case of this comic, this kid ended up loving PUBG , much to the chagrin of his father. It's too bad, really, because you can tell in that last panel just how passionate the father is about Fortnite . It's a sh

The strategies for solo and duo both apply to squad, with the difference being that squads can use greater numbers to make the strategies even deadlier. For example, one player can lead an enemy into a room with three of their teammates, as opposed to just one person lying in w


Ultimately, the film's greatest asset, the real life Navy SEALs (and their insight), create a strange mix of successes and failures that at times enhance the experience and on other occasions don't translate very well from reality to film. Much like the acting, there are moments where the filmmakers overindulged in reality and undermined immersion - offering a few flat-out all too "convenient" moments that probably have occurred on the battlefield (one involving a close-range RPG, especially), but come across as emotionally manipulative when viewed as part of a manufactured film project. Similarly, while the film's thin video game-esque storyline plays out like a mission logbook, and showcases the various aspects of military ops, it never bothers to develop the characters beyond anything but basic stereotypes - meaning that even though the story is on the surface realistic, there's very little for certain portions of the audience to connect with in the moment or ponder once the credits r
