The Best Video Games Of 2017

The lack of a building ability also allows _ PUBG _ to hone in on its intuitiveness. Upgrading weapons and armor is simple and easy to pick up. Tossing grenades and other throwables is a bit trickier to pull off, but once you get a feel for it, the act of throwing an explosive becomes nearly an art f


As such, there was a strong level of interest in prequel Life is Strange: Before the Storm , with questions asked over whether new developer Deck Nine could recreate the original's tone. Thankfully, Before the Storm , although not perfect, manages to build upon the first game well, providing a rare prequel that manages to subtly enhance the original story t


Have you ever been crouched, looting someone you just took out, only to be taken out by someone else? It's a terrible feeling because you were simply trying to claim your rewards for being victorious in combat. Funny enough, the act of looting goes against everything you know to be effective in PUBG . It forces you to stand still and enter a menu where you lose sight of your surroundings. Many times in PUBG it's just as important where you drop somebody as it is winning the fight in general. One of the best tricks to learn regarding looting is that you actually don't have to stand still while taking equipment from a fallen opponent. The best players in the world showcase it best, but you can move around and crouch while looting as long as you stay in the general area of the crate. This takes some practice and impressive hand dexterity to make it look effortless, but mastering this type of multitasking can take your game to the next level. If you're anything like me you're going to want to show your friends this trick so they're not standing straight up in the open trying to loot the one person on the planet more oblivious than themsel


First and foremost, _ PUBG’s _ style in both graphics and gameplay is more realistic. Whereas _ Fortnite _ features sillier, often exaggerated movements and weaponry with its cartoonish style and abilities, _ PUBG _ takes a more grounded approach. Weapons, vehicles, and gameplay physics are more life-like, as is the surrounding environment in which players can swim (and drown) in the large bodies of water within the map. Additionally, while friendly fire was removed from _ Fortnite _ earlier this year as a way for Epic to reduce the amount of team killing, _ PUBG _ fully allows friendly fire, adding to its real

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


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


In PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds , 100 players jump out of an airplane onto a huge map. Upon landing, they are encouraged to loot for supplies, like armor, vehicles, and guns. As the match continues, a storm closes in, forcing everyone to a centralized area on the map, where they are more likely to run into enemies. Considering the sheer number of players and all the opportunities for death, winning in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is no easy feat, but with a few tips in mind, players may stand a better chance at being the last person stand


The original Splatoon was a fantastic change of pace from Nintendo, with one flaw: it was stuck on the ailing Wii U. Thankfully, Splatoon Destiny 2 moments of triumph can have much more of an impact thanks to its home on the massively successful Nintendo Swit


One thing PUBG definitely has going for it is multiple maps - there is a lot more to explore in PUBG, and each of the three - soon four! - maps feels like an entirely different game mode, requiring very different strateg


Now that we’ve got some of the meat and potatoes out of the way, it’s time to dive into the finer details of how Fortnite rips off PUBG . Starting with one that particularly feels like a blatant rip-off, keeping the lobby sizes to


Touching on all of the issues that _ PUBG _ has faced is not an indication of why you shouldn't play it. Rather, it is a testament to the fact that the game is still impressively standing in spite of those troubles and is being added to another platform via the PlayStation 4. It should not be overlooked that _ PUBG _ has had its own share of success in the mainstream spotlight, such as the PGI 2018 PUBG $1 Million Charity Showdown Tournament which featured celebrity streamers and professional gamers including (you guessed it), Tyler "Ninja" Blev
