Instead of transferring the PC experience as closely as possible to console, since this isn’t working as is, a new control scheme and some changes to the map perhaps could have helped alongside the obviously much-needed optimization. PUBG is a large, complex beast of a game mode, and as something relatively poorly coded even in its prime version, it’s not an easy thing that should be rushed as an Xbox exclusive. I’d take Minecraft graphics if this thing just ran well and played w
For the unaware, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds or PUBG as it’s also referred to as, is the king of the battle royale genre, a game type where 100 players drop into a massive open environment and must loot, shoot, and survive. Players can play solo, with a friend, or in a squad of four as they collect gear, weapons, and armor and attempt to outlast the opposition any way they can as the map gradually forces players into increasingly confined spa
“You probably won’t believe me when I say this but whenever I go online and I hear other players use the same kind of language I did, I always find it extremely immature and stupid. And I hate how I now personally fed into that part of gaming as well. It was something I said in the heat of the moment. I said the worst word I could possibly think of. And it just sort of slipped out. I’m not going to make any excuses as to why it did because there are no excuses for it. I’m disappointed in myself because it seems like I’ve learned nothing from all these past controversies. And it’s not that I think I can say or do whatever I want and get away with it. That’s not it at all. I’m just an idi
A last-man-standing shooter, _PLAYERUNKNOWN’S BATTLEGROUNDS _ drops players on a realistic 8 x 8 km island with visuals that showcase Unreal Engine 4’s capabilities. Starting with nothing, gamers must fight to locate weapons, vehicles and supplies as they strive to be the lone survi
PUBG Walkthrough also just set another record on that front hitting peak concurrent users (e.g. CCU) with over 970,000. The other part of the title’s recent accolades is Germany’s Gamescom 2017 event last week which hosted the PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds Invitational which drew even more attention to the battle royale shooter, and featured many of the most popular stream
Performance aside, PUBG is simply a bad “shooter” with an awful control scheme on Xbox. Reloading a weapon for instance in the heat of battle requires players to hold down the ‘X’ button instead of just pressing it quickly. Aiming down sites isn’t holding down the left trigger, it’s tapping it. Inexplicable, holding down the trigger instead just slightly tightens the crosshair (it does the same on PC). Sometimes it won’t even work unless it’s tapped perfectly. Getting in and out of vehicles are two separate buttons and if you want to pick up a specific item from a pile of loot on the ground or move mods from one weapon to another, you better hide yourself for a few minutes. PUBG does not work well on consoles at all in its current state and needs another year in the oven. Even the little things, like basic matchmaking problems with friends or typos in the menus, aren’t addressed. It’s the sloppiest award-winning game, and the poorest performing shooter we’ve seen on current generation conso

Remember when there was talk about the Xbox One X enhanced version of PUBG hitting 60 fps before it was corrected and stated that it’d only run at 30? Maybe someone misheard “16.” You’d be lucky to get that at the start of a match. It’s unbelievable that this game was allowed to be released in this state on consoles, no matter how many disclaimers are built into the m
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is available now on PC through Steam Early Access, while an Xbox One version of the title is set to arrive on December 12th, 2017 through the Game Preview Program. For a closer look at the upcoming Miramar desert map, you can check out the new screenshots be

Popular YouTube personality PewDiePie recently found himself embroiled in another wave of controversy after he dropped a racial slur during a livestream of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds , resulting in a considerable amount of backlash. In response to the incident, the YouTuber has released a new video on his chan
Still, for a sample understanding of why the game has been all the rage on PC, the Xbox version does at least show what it’s like to drop in amongst so many other players with nothing but your wits, skills, and ability to manage the worst shooter mechanics imaginable. If you’re okay with most aspects of the game being sub-par, you can still get in on a big battle royale experience, we just can’t recommend it in its current state. Fortnite , although a very different kind of 100-person battle royale, is not only polished, but free-to-play as an alternat
