Can PlayerUnknown s Battlegrounds Remain Popular Long-Term

In short, players need - and deserve - to feel supported. It's something that Turtle Rock didn't quite manage, and it's a problem that other games have also struggled with. Destiny 2 may have been one of the top trending video games of 2017 , resulting in some huge sales figures and extremely strong launch reviews, but a series of poor behind-the-scenes decisions from Bungie has left players unimpressed, and as a result the game has not had the same reach as its predeces


Much was made of the release of Call of Duty: WWII , with Sledgehammer Games finally bringing the Call of Duty franchise back to its Second World War roots. From a commercial perspective, the game has been a smash hit, selling twice as much as the previous game during the first few weeks of its rele


While the frying pan example is an example of one of these quirks that has become iconic and is well known within the community around PUBG —there are still many things players can get wrong about PUBG . In fact, there is also some less-known information surrounding the game in general as well, including where the original idea for the game came from and some around Player Unknown hims


The same also goes for helmets, meaning that there is no way to avoid the full damage from a grenade besides getting out of the blast radius. For Fpspedia.Com this reason grenades are great end-game item for getting your enemy out in the o


The idea of the 'walking simulator' is one that has been much maligned over the years, with titles within the subgenre putting a heavy emphasis on storytelling through the gradual unveiling of a larger narrative with a lower focus on active participation. What Remains of Edith Finch , however, builds upon this framework with a much more engaging method of gameplay, with the player feeling much more like a part of the story as a wh


PUBG could need to look over its shoulder in this respect, too. Fortnite has been making waves with its own Battle Royale -style gameplay , and its free-to-play status and comparatively more stable gameplay has led to players not only giving it a go, but sticking around too. The game is unlikely to be the only major competitor for PUBG 's crown, either, and if PUBG continues to have major success it is going to have to fend off competitors on a constant ba


Something for PUBG Corporation to think on is the fate of H1Z1 . One one of the title's game modes, King of the Kill, sat extremely close to PUBG. As a matter of fact, it's where PUBG head honcho Brendan Greene cut his teeth and was extremely popular as a Steam early access game, even getting its own CW livestreamed eSports tournament . However, PUBG has been able to push above and beyond what H1Z1 could achieve, partly by delivering a more accessible and immediately interesting experie


All of this however, spells doom for H1Z1 (yes, a few months ago it dropped the "King of the Kill" subtitle). In the last seven months, H1Z1 has lost over 90% of its player base leading up to its official launch out of early access on February 28, 2018. That's some bad planning, and somehow the three year-old title still hasn't found itself on consoles. Is it too l


Fortnite dances and taunts have become a sensation, inspiring cringey yet occasionally funny videos across the internet. And I’m sure you’ve seen kids doing the dances from time to time. Sure, you want to shake your head out of moderate to severe disappointment, but you can’t deny this sensat


Samus Returns , however, pushes Metroid 2 into the modern age, updating the game into 2.5D for the 3DS and bringing with it a ton of new features. What's more, it's a great return for the franchise as a whole, suggesting there's still a bright future for Metroid and the upcoming Metroid Prime


If you're gamer there's no way you haven't seen or heard of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) and Fortnite , two games that helped solidify the "battle royale" archetype of action-shooter to the mainstream over the last year or less. Before these games took over streaming services however, there was another that helped kickstart this industry-changing shift, a game that has its DNA infused into PUBG in particu


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


There's plenty that is still in the control of PUBG , though. For starters, the game's technical issues need to be addressed, and fixes need to be put in place sooner rather than later. After all, the game has now left the bubble of early access for PC, and now needs to stand on its own two feet as a finished product. Although PC gamers often have plenty of patience while a game is in early access, that can wear thin when the title is supposed to be a complete experie
