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


With how unpolished PUBG is, it's a surprise that it really did catch on as much as it did; but we guess that really is just part of the charm. One thing is for sure; when your chute snags on an invisible angle on the way down to the ground, there aren't many things to do besides die and rage q


Much like being blasted into orbit after forgetting to stop boosting and hitting a pothole, it isn't out of the ordinary to watch everyone flail like rag dolls when you take a wrong turn or cut an angle a little too sh


Sometimes the PUBG gods grant you a gift however, and you're able to find a level 3 pack right when you start digging through your first building. Shoot, you even have enough space to carry some of your squads loot if you so des


However, Overwatch also provides one negative example that PUBG will want to avoid. Although the game's microtransaction business model has been lauded as one of the better ones on the market, it's still a symptom of the overall video game loot box problem that has been pervasive in the industry as a whole. PUBG also offers loot boxes, and already these have started to gather a little controversy, with some of the rarer items having ridiculous drop rates of their


Loot doesn't do you much good when you don't have anyway to make off with it. Sure, crafty players may lay it like a trail of brass casing breadcrumbs to draw unwitting prey into a trap, but most likely, you're just going to flounder around with it and get caught trying to figure out how to carry all of


Playing in duo opens the door for even more strategies players can employ in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds . Duo players don't need to play as stealthily as solo players, but should still exercise some caution, especially in cities that are more likely to be populated with a higher number of play


Pitting four surivors with a sense of humor against an army of the undead made Zombieland a hit, but one video game series was using zombies for fun, not fear long before. The zombie shooter Left 4 Dead followed the same formula, even shaping its campaign and marketing to resemble a Hollywood film, but fans soon turned the game into an online sensation, where hilarious kills were the top priority. Zombieland kept the sense of humor and tension, and even "Kills of the Week" competitions intact, not to mention a finale set in a zombie-filled amusement park - a location included in Left 4 Dead 2 , released shortly after the mo


PUBG , a more serious take on the battle royale formula, has no real place for things like taunts and dances. Sure, taunts are getting more and more popular in games, but they just don’t feel right in PUBG . I guess the devs didn’t care when they saw how popular they were in Fortni


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


Because of this, Screen Rant has dug deep to find the most controversial video game lawsuits of all time. The following lawsuits not only caused a stir when first announced, but also in some cases left a long-lasting impression on the video game industry as a whole. Read on to find out m


Suffice to say that Fortnite had ample opportunities to capitalize and become THE battle royale of today. But instead of giving us an entirely brand new take on the battle royale genre, Fortnite really boiled down to a PUBG / Minecraft clone. It may be an undoubtedly fun game, but we're going to call a spade a spade, and today we're going to go through all the things Fortnite has ripped

One pitfall that PUBG will need to watch out for is not to become too niche or difficult for players to get into. At the moment the sheer potential and Caustic gas Changes power of PUBG is enough to keep new players coming and old players sticking around, but that's not going to last forever. Eventually, players will drop off as they are enticed by new games that hit the market. That doesn't mean purely direct competitors to PUBG , but games across the board - some of those highly anticipated games of 2018 will take PUBG players away regardless of whether they offer similar gameplay at
