Can PlayerUnknown s Battlegrounds Remain Popular Long-Term

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 FPS Game Tips 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


The steampunk world of the Dishonored series has gained many fans since the original game's release, and the franchise reached new heights with 2016's Dishonored 2 . However, the story of the sequel did not end there, with a standalone follow-up called Dishonored: Death of the Outsider releasing this y


One recent example is Friday the 13th: The Game . Although the title did not reach the heights of PUBG , the game was still a big financial success, with approximately 2 million units sold as at August 2017 which is nothing to be sniffed at for a horror-based game from a small studio. However, the game's ongoing bugs have proved to be its undoing, as the title slowly but surely lost player trust amid apologies from Illfonic and Gun Media . To make matters worse, the constant delays for the game's much-lauded single player mode have damaged its reputation further, leaving a permanent cloud over a game with plenty of potential and a large community of play


This puts the game at something of a crossroads. At the moment, it's unimaginable for such a hugely popular game to slip from the public eye, but the title needs to consolidate its place at the top of gaming, and needs to do so quickly. Nowhere is it harder to make a prolonged impression in gaming than in the online multiplayer scene, and although the spoils of victory are great the drop offs can be astronomi


As we said above, sniper rifle magazines will no longer spawn and are only available in supply crates but DMRs will now use AR magazines (and other attachments alongside sniper attachments) and won't be affected. As for the coveted Extended Quickdraw mag, it'll be more rare


The original Life is Strange was something of a powerhouse of storytelling, utilizing its episodic nature to tell a twisting tale of time manipulation and fate. It ended up being a smash hit, winning a huge number of fans and gaining plenty of award nominations and victor


Something that's definitely helped matters is the steady increase in playable characters, to keep players interested across the months. After all, who can't find joy in sending Batman up against the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtl


Although there's no denying the game's popularity, it's fair to say that the game remains something of a raw experience. Players have ridden over the bumps of poor optimization and various glitches, as the title goes through tweak after tweak to try and get its Battle Royale -esque gameplay pitch perfect. That's certainly to be expected of a title built in the games-as-service model, even from games within AAA development, but when it comes to PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds there are still areas where it is really ro


In order to solve this, PUBG will need to remain inviting to new players beyond its current hype. Thankfully the core gameplay dynamic of the game is simple enough for new players to grasp while the metagame is yet to become overly convoluted, and the game's developers will need to walk that fine line between delivering new content and making sure said content does not make it difficult for players to get into the g


Sniper Elite has been one of the most quietly effective franchises in the video game landscape, starting life as an initially niche stealth shooter and growing with each and every release. Although there have been criticisms leveled against exactly how well the different gameplay modes gel together, Sniper Elite 4 has managed to link the various play styles better than any other game in the ser


**PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds ** is already a huge part of the gaming scene. The multiplayer title has gone from record to record , smashing through various concurrent user records on Steam and achieving the unthinkable: outdoing Valve's own games on the distribution platform that it created. Since the game's launch, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has gone from a surprise hit to a game of the year contender, and that's nothing to be sniffed


It's no mystery as to why PUBG, as it is known colloquially among gamers, is so popular. It's fun, simple as that. A mass of players compete and struggle to survive as the map they are playing on shrinks until only one person is left standing. The map and the objective may always stay the same, but the skirmishes between players are always new. In one game, you may make it to the top five. In another, you might have gotten eliminated at the get-go. In one game, you may stealth your way to victory. In another, you might have shot every player you came across while riding in a speeding vehicle. The possibilities are practically limitl
