The Best Video Games Of 2017

_ Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds _ was released in March 2017, only a few months prior to _ Fortnite _ . While the game had plenty of players, it slowly lost its grasp on the leader of the battle royale scene to _ Fortnite _ . However, _ Fortnite’s _ popularity was not the only factor that weighed against _ PUBG


A moving target is harder to hit than one that is standing still. That's just common sense. Most players think this trick is strictly relegated to when you are sprinting out in the open or when you are already engaged in a firefi


One other thing to mention is _ PUBG’s _ demographic, which tends to be older than that of _ Fortnite _ , according to a report by video game and esports analytics provider Newzoo . This isn’t necessarily a surprise considering _ Fortnite’s _ cartoonish style. Add on the fact that _ Fortnite _ is available on a more casual, accessible, and family-friendly console in the Nintendo Switch, and it makes sense that a younger audience would gravitate towards that game. _ PUBG , _ on the other hand, appeals more towards core gamers with a means to fund their gaming. This is an important distinction between the two games, especially considering that _ PUBG _ is a paid title, whereas _ Fortnite _ is free to p


When you first start playing PUBG there are a couple of stress-inducing mechanics that you must come to learn and feel super comfortable with. One of these mechanics happens to be the main creator of conflict and action. The outer blue circle that contains the pain-inducing storm is something rookie players avoid at all costs. Many of them feel that you should avoid having to run through it no matter the alternative. As you grow comfortable with your shooting and with the terrain of the map you should quickly come to learn that some risks are worth tak


There is no telling how well the move to the PlayStation 4 will fare for _ Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds _ . Will it be enough to close the gap between it and rival _ Fortnite _ ? Probably not. But the two titles are different enough in their gameplay and style that both should be able to coexist peacefully and be worth your t


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


You can grab the standard edition of _ Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds _ on the PlayStation 4 for $30 USD. A Survivor’s Edition and Champion’s Edition are available as well, but truth be told, you’ll be happy enough with the standard edition. The deluxe versions include additional outfits and in-game items that can be used to customize your character, but these cosmetic features have no effect whatsoever on the actual gameplay and are hardly worth your time if you are looking to just jump into the fray right a


The title certainly has its issues, with an overall weaker story and the inexplicable addition of loot box microtransactions that has received plenty of criticism. However, overall it's still an excellent game for players who want more of that blend of Assassin's Creed and Chroma Rush Lord of the Rin


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


Fortnite just didn’t take the high road when it came to shaping its battle royale mode. Instead of separating their mode from the competition like how GTA V did with their battle royale mode, they shamelessly and obviously ripped off features like player count, and game modes/variati


2017 has been a special year for video games. It witnessed the return of such important series as The Legend of Zelda , saw factory line franchises like Call of Duty return to their roots, and even bore witness to the arrival of some impressive new propert

I don't know how many times I've been watching a game only to wince when I see a player trying to ambush another player while directly in their line of sight. Never ambush another player when you are going to be directly in their line of sight. They might have a shotgun and know how to use it. Do us all a favor and stand to the s


The absence of building massive structures in _ PUBG _ creates the need for a more thought out strategy when traversing the wide-open terrain of the map. Should players suddenly come under fire, they will need to search for cover to avoid getting shot, rather than building up some makeshift cover. While doors and windows can be blown away, _ PUBG’s _ structures themselves do not take damage (which is surprising considering the game’s focus on realism). At any rate, (depending on the situation) shootouts tend to be intense and pulse-pounding as players peek out from behind walls with the hopes of nailing a headshot and dropping the en
