Can PlayerUnknown s Battlegrounds Remain Popular Long-Term

But that didn't work to rescue H1Z1 from its low player counts and low interest, so the next step - just a week after launching in full - is Daybreak maing H1Z1 free-to-play just like Fortnite as of today. Players who purchased the game in early access get more than a t-shirt now, they also get an "H1Z1 Appreciation Pack", containing the following it


Why can't we just be honest with ourselves when it comes to our love of gaming, and the hours we're going to continue to waste on it? Like it's any more reasonable to binge a streaming service or exercising, or whatever non-gamers do. You know what, when someone asks you, don't lie; say it proud, even if you have a sweater


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


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


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


Regardless, there are few groups that are as identifiable or, prevalent, Xur location Destiny 2 as PUBG players. They're constantly rocketing cars off of hills and walls, wearing or swinging frying pans around like their lives depend on it (and they often do), or telling others about the glory of chicken dinners and how hard they are to really


This seems to be a year too late and we can't see this event being a destination for fans because there aren't that many, nor will Facebook streaming be the place gamers will be watching their favorite teams compete. PUBG has held multiple esports tournaments already, and while that game has plenty of issues of its own (something they also had to cop to today in their own official layout of plans for the future - a reaction to Fortnite kicking their butts lately), at least it has the players and stream inter


Not like driving in the game is a cakewalk or anything; it's easy to cut an angle to short or, you know, just exist in the first place, meaning that everyone is going to suspended in air like they're aboard a space stat


At the time, Pac-Man had yet to make its official release on home consoles, but Atari nonetheless had the exclusive rights to the game on home devices. Although Phillips survived the first ruling on the lawsuit, an appeal then saw the court find in Atari's favor. This particular lawsuit set a major precedent for copyright cases within video games as a whole, but in this instance led to the removal of KC Munchkin! from store shel


Trading a small bit of damage for some extra positioning or scavenging time could make all the difference. Throughout a PUBG match, you're going to need to make decisions that can make or break your chances of success. It's better to take these risks early on when the drawback is entirely negligible with a couple of bandages and an energy drink. A little bit of health is worth the trade-off of potentially finding a great assault rifle or sniper ri

Earlier we talked about barricading bridges and what that can do for you as an offensive-minded player. It was also mentioned that if you encounter this strategy being done by another team against you that vaulting over the bridge into the water could mean the difference between life and elimination. Once you hit the water and start swimming for sure it's now time to get extra careful Newer players may assume that once you're in the water there's nothing to worry about. On the contrary, the water is where you're most vulnerable and susceptible to gunshots. Players can and will see your head and arms traversing the water and will do everything in their power to make sure you never see the shorel


By all accounts, it's a rather fun mode even if it's drastically different and feels like a last-ditch effort/gimmick to regain some traction. On its launch, Daybreak sponsored top streamer Dr. Disrespect to play the game for the day but within a day or two, H1Z1 was nowhere to be seen on Twitch. The full launch a week ago added these updates as w


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
