Triple A video game titles: what’s happening?

Having been an avid video game player since the 1980s going from the Atari 2600 with its limited yet entertaining quality, until recent days with more modern titles like Player Unknown Battlegrounds, Rocket League, Astroneer, Rainbow Six Siege; I was lucky to witness the evolution of PC and console titles from one milestone to the other.

There have been several paths taken by game developers in these long 30-plus years of evolved digital entertainment, many of which were represented by the old dilemma of short but rocky path or long but safe road. This helix of choices is the ongoing decision-making among developers and especially large publishers who have been influencing the gaming scene in the last ten to fifteen years.

I already wrote about poor in-game choices affecting the level of fun in games. Loot cases and quasi-gambling systems of random dropping virtually simulating casino roulette are everywhere. The fun is slowly dissipating from this realm. Video games are desperately trying to become the very thing they were never meant to achieve: reality with all its problems.

From the user point of view the latest expensive titles published by EA, Ubisoft, Activision, have become an extension of their very own corporate identity: greed upon fun. Triple A titles delivered unfinished yet priced for top dollars video games to the crowd. Pressured developers under the lash of their publisher-owner are part of this issue.

Just like Polyphemus, the one-eyed Greek mythological creature, which we all know as the Cyclops; needy publishers can only focus on one objective within their own realm: profits. And just like this ancient figure, it can only go towards one objective because it has only one eye.

A publisher CEO approaching the meeting with the developers...

Game companies have to preserve their financial integrity making sure their earnings are sound enough to make more titles. Let’s make this clear. I’m not against it. Profits pay for everything and we ought to understand it. What becomes intangible is the lack of touch some companies display toward their customers and especially the loyal ones.

I don’t want to write another post ranting on the condition of the game industry, there are plenty around so I’ll get to the point, the point that grinds my gears. Why can’t the issue of gameplay be addressed to its core? Why are the gaming experiences dumbed down to forgettable titles that won’t last as they should? Why can’t I enjoy my game to the extent it was meant to be?

Just like your smartphone or microwave once it’s broken it’s not meant to be repaired anymore, but the industry expects you to constantly get a new one discarding everything else before. Long are gone the days when you could spike up your game with mods and tweaks like Doom, Half Life 2, Skyrim. Just to name a few.

Battlefield 1 came out two years ago and yet we already forgot about it. Despite being a great and innovative game, other publishers flooded the market to compete and we all too soon forgot about it. The Call Of Duty syndrome of one-a-year publishing has affected the entire market. We don’t have time to cherish and fully experience our games anymore because the next big hit is around the corner already eager to take your pre-ordering money.

Try now to play any AAA game and seek the fun. You can’t because developers are insisting on creating movie experiences for PC and consoles rather than enjoyable games. Players don’t want that, they want’ to be able to create their own stories and to remove their avatar away from the rail experience they have been locked into.

Gmod has delivered more fun out of one game engine for the past years than anything else...

Ultimately players want to be able to understand the game they are playing. They want to be fully immersed by a compelling story (see Mass Effect Trilogy) and by a game engine that allows them to go beyond the established interactions of the main narrative. Why? Because you shouldn't ditch your game after completing the single-player campaign. You want to go back to it and be able to influence every bit of it so you can craft different stories to your own fitting.

Gamers are willing to give up the ultra realistic graphics, life-like facial animations, Hollywood voice actors, for a better game play that involves better game physics and interactions with the AI. Yes, I said it, better interactions with the AI which means a superior experience the latest expensive games have failed to deliver.

What prompted it from happening? Developers are guided by their publishers to craft titles that prioritize console first. This means the user is constantly under the experience of a game that is on rails: little choice of direction in the story and in the overall quality. PC and consoles are still different from each other.

As the market gets flooded by high-stake game drops each quarter of the year, we are left with this huge void of enjoyable experience. Is the user aware of this phenomena? Yes, the user knows that for the money-time investments he/she is waiting for decent game quality time rather than anything else.

PUBG update 4.2: Erengel dynamic weather, sound improvements, and more

Player Unknown's Battlegrounds has settled into a regular update cadence. Every month there's a new PUBG update and a new set of patch notes to look over, detailing new season details, balance changes and bug fixes. We're picking out the important details and compiling them here.

PUBG update 4.2

PUBG's update 4.2 brings a lot of adjustments and tweaks. Objects that were previously indestructible can now be destroyed, including traffic cones in Mylta. Car engines can now be toggled with "Z" which allows for some interesting silent tactical maneuvers by rolling down slopes with the engine off. There are also dynamic weather effects on Erengal that transitions overcast weather to rain, hail, and fog. A few changes to master volume controls should be helpful as well.

Gameplay

Vehicle Handling Improvements

Improved vehicle handling of the Scooter, Snowmobile, Snowbike and Motorcycle with Sidecar, thus improving overall driving stability. Motorcycle with Sidecar off-road driving control and stability has been greatly improved.

Altered Blue Zone Edge Visual Effect

To improve the gameplay experience, the rolling shimmer effect seen while at the edge of the Blue Zone will no-longer be seen at the center of the screen where the player is aiming.

Improved Visibility of Reticles Against Bright Backgrounds

Visibility of all sight and scope reticles against bright backgrounds (such as Vikendi snowfields) has been slightly improved.

Throwables Friction Adjustment

Adjusted the friction force of throwables to make rolling movement more consistent and predictable.

Smoke Grenades

Friction force has been increased to slow rolling speed and cause them to roll a shorter distance after impacting surfaces.

Stun Grenades & Frag Grenades

Friction force has been decreased to speed up the rolling speed and increase distance they can travel after impacting surfaces.

Vehicle Engine Toggle

Vehicle engines can now be turned off/on by pressing ‘Z’. The engine can be turned off while driving, after gaining momentum and can be used for quiet, tactical maneuvers. Once the engine is off, pressing ‘W’ to accelerate or ‘Z’ will start the engine again. Vehicle engines will automatically be turned off if the vehicle stays at a standstill for 8 seconds, or 2 seconds after the driver disembarks.

World

Overcast Weather added to Erangel. When a match starts with overcast weather on Erangel, the weather will change dynamically over the course of the match between overcast, windy, hail, light rain, heavy rain (rain with lightning and thunder), and fog.

Destructible objects on Erangel

Additional destructible pylons and barricades have been added to Erangel. They can be destroyed by vehicles, weapons and explosions, but do provide a limited amount of cover until they are destroyed. Some existing objects which were previously indestructible are now destructible, such as the traffic cones in Mylta.

Vikendi Ambient Noise Adjustment

Volume of Vikendi’s ambient wind noise has been reduced.

Removal of PUBG Esports Signage

As MET Asia Series and PUBG Nations Cup have now concluded, in-game signage across various maps and the starting plane has been removed.

Custom Match

Added Erangel Visual Update option to Custom Matches. Erangel Visual Update will be called “Erangel” and the previous version will be called “Erangel Classic”. All game modes will be playable on both Erangel variants.

Team leaderboard UI seen in observer mode has been changed to allow 4 character team tags (previously 3).

Replay

The replay system has been updated. Replay files from previous updates are now unavailable for use.

Skins & Items

New skins are available at in-game Store once PC Update 4.2 hits live servers.

New BP purchasable items

Vector & SLR BattleStat skins

2 Madsy Shoes

Twitch Broadcaster Royale Group 9 skins

More information will be released via an official announcement for Group 9 of Twitch Broadcaster Royale skins will be released after Update #4.2 arrives on live servers.

Added Regional Esports Baseball Bat skins in celebration of 2019 Phase 3 of PUBG Esports. Added Rabbit Season Set items, which can be found in the Featured Page of the in-game Store.

Fallout 76 patch 8 is now available for download, full release notes revealed

Bethesda has released a major new update for Fallout 76. According to the release notes, patch 8 adds the Lying Lowe questline, brings a number of design and balance adjustments, and introduces a splash screen that will automatically appear upon logging into Fallout 76 to notify you of the latest game news and announcements.

Moreover, patch 8 reduces client hitching that could occur around creatures and other players, improves server performance when moving through an area with many containers, addresses an issue that would affect performance when browsing the Atomic Shop, makes optimization improvements during the character save process and fixes an issue that could cause the game client to become unresponsive after Fast Traveling or Respawning.

This patch also brings a number of graphical tweaks and fixes. For instance, it fixes several animation issues affecting various Emotes, makes adjustments to reload animations for several weapons, fixes collision issues in the tower of the Church in the Mire and fixes rain so that it no longer falls inside of buildings and structures when moving the camera from side to side.

As always, the Bethesda launcher will download this update the next time you launch its client, and you can find its complete changelog below.

Fallout 76 Patch 8 Release Notes

NEW WILD APPALACHIA CONTENT

NEW QUESTLINE – LYING LOWE

The Lying Lowe questline is now available! Begin your investigation into this mysterious case by finding and reading one of the “Sheepsquatch Ate My Brother” posters in Lewisburg or at Train Stations around Appalachia.

“Sheepsquatch Ate My Brother” posters are also available for free in the Atomic Shop until 9:00 a.m. EDT on May 7. Once claimed, you can place the poster in your C.A.M.P. and read it to start the quest.

NEW DUNGEON – THE BURROWS (COMING APRIL 16)

A new dungeon experience will become available one week following today’s patch, on April 16.

This challenging venture will take you beneath Harper’s Ferry as you follow in the footsteps of the Brotherhood of Steel, who sent their forces underground for unknown reasons.

Even the heartiest of Appalachian adventurers will have difficulty exploring The Burrows alone. Assemble a squad and make sure your gear is up to snuff before taking on this subterranean battleground.

DESIGN AND BALANCE

SURVIVAL MODE BETA

Death Mechanics: The amount of Aid dropped on death has been significantly reduced.

Death Mechanics: The number of Caps lost when killed by another player has been reduced from double to 25% of that character’s level.

For example, A level 60 character who is killed in Survival will now lose 15 Caps, rather than 120. The killer in this case will earn 15 Caps.

Scoreboards: Map highlights for the top 3 ranked players are now based on the Players Killed Scoreboard rather than Longest Life.

Temporary Invulnerability: In a recent hotfix, we addressed an issue that could prevent the temporary invulnerability effect from being applied correctly to players after Fast Traveling or Respawning.

VENDOR FACTION UPDATES

A Vendor from each faction except the Enclave can now be found downstairs in the shops at The Whitespring Resort.

This should help reduce the need to Fast Travel in order to visit multiple Vendor Factions when buying and selling items.

The pool of 200 Caps that was previously allocated to each Vendor Faction has been merged into one combined pool of 1,400 Caps that is shared across all Factions.

This means that buying items from, or selling items to, a Vendor will update the pool of available Caps across all Vendor Factions.

This change should offer more flexibility when buying and selling higher-priced items, or when attempting to trade many items at once.

The Vendor Cap pool still resets after 20 real-time hours.

TURRET ATTACK DAMAGE AND RANGE TUNING

Player-built Turrets are now affected by player PvP damage rules, which feature damage scaling, as well as an increase in base damage for all types of Turrets, ranging from +15% to +100% damage depending the Turret.

Additionally, Turret attack ranges have been increased to match players’ weapon ranges.

The Shotgun Turret’s projectile spread has been reduced to better match the Combat Shotgun.

These changes should help Turrets in C.A.M.P.s and Workshops pose a bigger and more consistent threat against attackers.

ADDITIONAL DESIGN AND BALANCE UPDATES

C.A.M.P.: The chance to acquire milk from a Brahmin spawned at a player’s C.A.M.P. has been reduced by half.

Challenges: Consume Alcohol Challenges have had their requirements reduced from 50 and 25 beverages to 20 and 10.

Challenges: Craft Alcohol Challenges have had their requirements reduced from 50 and 25 beverages to 20 and 10.

(Added April 9) Crafting: Several craftable hats and outfits have had their crafting costs increased and Cap values decreased.

Dev Note: Previously, it was very easy to gain lots of caps by crafting and selling these items. We’ve made balance adjustments accordingly to prevent them from being exploited, without making them too difficult to craft. This was missed during our initial patch notes creation process.

Food: The rate at which Food spoils is now more consistent.

Items: Resources that glowing creatures drop as loot in nuke zones, such as Glowing Mass and Hardened Mass, are now instanced for all players who deal damage to those creatures.

Items: Equipping Armor with Cryogenic or Incendiary Legendary Mods no longer causes the wearer to become hostile toward attacking players in Adventure Mode prior to returning fire.

V.A.T.S.: No longer targets friendly or neutral players or creatures.

USER INTERFACE

NEW FEATURE – NEWS SCREEN

Upon logging in, a new screen will automatically display to notify you of the new Fallout 76 announcements, Atomic Shop offers, patch notes, and the latest game-related news.

The top of the news screen will display four different items. You can cycle through them by pressing d-pad right and left on controllers, or by clicking on PC.

A “More Info” option will appear along the bottom edge of the screen when viewing some news items. Selecting this may take you to a related article on Fallout.com or into the Atomic Shop.

The news screen can be dismissed by selecting the “Main Menu” option to view the game’s Main Menu.

Once closed, the news screen can be re-opened at any time from the Main Menu by selecting the “News” option that has been added to the bottom-center of the screen.

NEW FEATURE – ITEM RENAMING

Add a personal touch to a wide variety of items by giving them custom names.

Items that can be renamed include: Apparel, Armor, Weapons, Power Armor Chassis, and Power Armor pieces you own.

Weapons that stack, like Throwing Knives or Grenades cannot be renamed.

To rename an item, select it in your Inventory, Stash, or a Workbench, and choose the “Inspect” option. Then, select the “Rename” option to enter and save a custom name for that item.

Items can be renamed as many times as you like.

Choose the “Clear Name” option to restore an item’s default name.

A custom name will only appear to the player who originally renamed that item, and the item will return to its default name when traded, sold, or dropped.

ADDITIONAL USER INTERFACE UPDATES

Item Assignment Icons: When viewed in the Stash or transfer menus, items that have been assigned to an object now display icons next to their names indicating where they have been assigned.

Dev Note: For the moment, these icons will only appear on items assigned to the Fermenter. In future updates, we plan to implement more of these types of icons for other new features, such as player vending and display cases.

Fermenter: Items that have Condition will now display Condition bars next to their names when viewed in the Fermenter.

Map: Selecting a marker on the Map will now make it visible in front of any other overlapping Map icons, such as teammate icons.

Stash: The Stash container preview window has been removed, and the transfer menu must be opened to view the contents of the Stash.

Dev Note: This type of preview window makes it quick and easy to loot a few items from containers you find, but it isn’t the best way to cycle through your entire Stash. Additionally, removing this window from the Stash affords us a small performance improvement. As a result, we’ve removed this window in favor of opening the full transfer menu to view your Stash inventory.

Voice: Removed support for Xbox Kinect as a microphone option in the interest of overall performance and optimization for the game.

ART AND GRAPHICS

Animation: Characters now sip a refreshing beverage while toiling away at the Brewing Workbench.

Graphics: Corpseflowers have received updated visual effects that will help them be more noticeable at night.

SOUND

Main Menu: Sound effects now play when highlighting the Adventure and Survival options when choosing a mode after selecting “Play”.

Survival Beta: Sound effects now play upon placing a Bounty on another player after being killed in the Survival Mode Beta.

Survival Beta: Sound effects now play upon receiving a Bounty from another player who has been killed in the Survival Mode Beta.

BUG FIXES

PERFORMANCE AND STABILITY

General: Players will no longer encounter a black screen after respawning at Harper’s Ferry while wearing Power Armor.

Performance: Reduced client hitching that could occur around creatures and other players.

Performance: Improved server performance when moving through an area with many containers; e.g. the Scorched Beast Queen fight.

Four Beautiful Details About Player Unknown's Battlegrounds Mobile

PUBG Mobile (as the game is officially understood) is unlike the PC and console versions right off the bat in that it's free which it includes a new method to make cosmetic rewards. You still make BP from playing matches, and you still utilize those points to open randomized loot dog crates, now you also make Vitality and EXP points. Vitality climbs up as you total special day-to-day missions, like playing a particular variety of matches or killing a specific variety of individuals. At various thresholds, you open a free loot cage. EXP is earned the same way, and it opens long-term account features, such as unique avatar icons, and goes toward increasing your account level. PUBG presently lacks any kind of monetization, so you can't buy BP with real money, but this need to alter in the future as the game becomes more extensively readily available around the world. Aside from everyday objectives and events that hand out points, there's likewise a seasonal ranking system, with seven skill tiers and unique cosmetic benefits for making progress before a season is out. Seasons last about 2 months. Customizable controls The touch-screen controls work surprisingly well for a game as complex as PUBG. Using the default configuration, you move with a virtual control stick, utilizing your other thumb on the right half of the screen to manage your goal. You fire, aim down sights, crouch, go prone and access your knapsack with virtual buttons on the best side of the screen. Once you're comfortable with the design, you'll discover you have access to all of the very same actions as on the PC version, consisting of leaning and free-looking.

You can personalize the design of the virtual buttons completely by moving them around and altering their size and openness. You can even save numerous design presets. The default design is extremely user-friendly, so I discovered it didn't need much tweaking. Utilizing auto pickup A really cool concept that Player Unknown's Battlegrounds Corp. ought to think about for every version of the game is the mobile variation's auto-pick-up function, which smartly gathers weapons, ammo, attachments and healing products as you walk over them. It'll pick up ammunition just for guns you're using, and it'll auto-equip attachments. MORE: 100+ Great iOS Games for iPhones and iPads This system even auto-swaps lower-tier body armor, knapsacks and helmets for higher-tier ones that you run near. All of this automation assists minimize how much you need to by hand arrange your stock, and if you do not like this process, you can totally disable it. Visual feedback To make up for the reality that most gamers do not use headsets, PUBG Mobile provides you a lot more visual details that would be conveyed through noise in the PC and console versions. A hit marker on the center of your screen shows the direction you have actually been shot from, something famously excluded from the original variation to force gamers to count on sound queues. The minimap will also show a bullet icon in the basic location of neighboring shooting from other gamers, making it a lot easier to find other gamers. You still require to keep an ear out for footsteps, so you need to utilize a good set of earbuds. You will come across AI bots According to Kotaku and The Brink, PUBG uses bots for brand-new players based upon their EXP level and will start gradually filling out the 100-person match with more actual gamers as you acquire levels. This implies your very first trip is rather likely to be successful. I put 4th with a whopping eight kills in my very first match, and I chalked it up to the video game having plenty of unskilled players. Turns out, it may have been the presence of witless AI bots offering me a self-confidence boost. The specific information of how many bots the game uses isn't clear at present. When you first delve into PUBG mobile you will get to produce your character, it's not the inmost character creation system we have actually ever seen, but the real customisation comes through cosmetic clothing opens even more down the road. So there is no reason to spend too much time on this. After developing a character you will pick your experience level with shooters and battle royale video games. This setting will determine if you play with bots for your first couple of matches, or with real human beings, so select carefully, although a couple of heat up matches with bots is a strong concept for newcomers. To actually delve into your first game you will wish to hit the big "START" button in the leading left of the primary lobby screen. However, by tapping package below that you can select which kind of match you wish to play, squads, duos or solo and first person or 3rd individual. As soon as you have actually hit level 5 you can likewise pick which of the two currently readily available maps, Erangle or Miramar, you want to play, and at level 10 you can select to play in some of the game modes such as War or a Quick Match which is restricted to eight minutes. When you hit start button you'll be thrown into a match and from thereon out its fight royale as you know it. Drop from the airplane, find some loot, kill some fools and remain in the circle till you either satisfy an early end, or go out with a chicken dinner. While Fortnite is the exact same game on mobile as it is on PC and console, the exact same can not be said for PUBG. PUBG Mobile is its own thing, and there is no way to rollover development from the PC and console variations to the mobile version. This is mostly because there is many distinctions between the variations. The most obvious is the vastly different content readily available. Just two of the three maps PC players have are readily available on the mobile variation, with Sanhok no place to be seen as of yet. The same can be stated with a variety of weapons, and there are a couple of extremely small differences on the maps. Then there are the extremely various cosmetics. With PUBG Mobile being complimentary to play their main income source is cosmetic products, so as you might anticipate there's a lot more in the mobile than in the PC and Xbox variations. A few of the mobile only cosmetics are in fact quite cool, and we would love to see them make their way to the other platforms at some time. We already have guides for all three PUBG maps, which are accurately replicated on PUBG mobile. For the a lot of part if you are excellent on PC or console then you ought to have the ability to equate that success into PUBG Mobile, as it's successfully the exact same video game. However, with that being said there are a couple of things you ought to know when playing. On PC and console leaning becomes second nature. Having the ability to stick your go out but keep the rest of your body securely behind cover makes it a lot more difficult to hit you, and is a core mechanic. However on mobile it can be harder to use this technique as you'll have to move your thumbs away from moving and aiming to do so. This does make it a little more difficult to utilize well, but with some practise you can master this and stop putting your whole body at danger. Oh, and make sure the buttons are really activated in the settings menu. Having fun with noise is constantly going to be more suitable, as it will allow you to hear what is going on in your area, however if that isn't possible then there is another way to exercise where those shots are originating from. The direction of any shots in your instructions, or those near you, will be shown on the small map. You can then spin to that position and dump a spray of bullets at whoever thought they had actually captured you off guard. + One of the ways that PUBG Mobile runs smoothly on lower end gadgets is to only render the grass and foliage close to the player, so that implies if you believe you are being a sneaky snake in the lawn, you actually just look like a muppet crawling through a field to anybody with a 4x or better scope. Always adhere to hard cover if possible. Crawling through the turf only actually works in the really late video game circles.

Sure, some individuals might say auto-aim is for noobs, however when it assists this much there truly is no reason to turn it off, unless you wish to go pro. The auto-aim on PUBG Mobile is insane good at times, and you should presume that all your foes will be utilizing it too. Make sure to keep this on, and you will barely ever miss a shot once again. PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds-- or PUBG as it's known by fans-- is finally readily available on mobile. The PC, Xbox One, and now Android and iOS blockbuster may have lost some ground to Impressive Games' Fortnite in the 'terrific battle royale war', but Bluehole's sandbox kill-fest rules supreme on Android sitting on top of the Play Store with over 10 million downloads. For those new to the video game, the very first thing you must understand is that Player Unknown's Battlegrounds Mobile is everything about enduring up until the bitter end in a 100-person free-for-all or as a group by any ways required. Yet whether you're the kind of gamer that likes to grab the very best weapons you can find and go all guns blazing, or you go with a more stealthy technique, there are some gameplay basics that apply to everyone that gets in the battlefield. In this guide, you'll find some important tips and techniques that will put you ahead of the pack in PUBG mobile and assist you bag those sweet, sweet chicken dinners. A game of PUBG can last as long as half an hour or, if things go terribly wrong, it can all be over in a few seconds. One proven method of exiting early is by misjudging your preliminary landing spot. As a general general rule, you wish to aim for the very best loot spots in the video game's Erangel map (the desert map, Miramar, will introduce in a future update) while also avoiding as many other gamers as possible. There are some particular locations that regularly spawn the very best weapons and armor such as the military base, power plant, or the numerous significant towns, however bare in mind that other skilled players will be heading there too. Editor's Choose 15 best Android video games of 2018! As soon as you have actually jumped out of the freight airplane, keep an eye out for swarms of other players heading to a single location and prevent those locations like the pester. Similarly, do not simply aimlessly drift as soon as you're in freefall-- pinpoint a safe adequate area, preferably with structures so you can grab some loot, and push forward to speed your way there. Buildings will show up as white blocks on the small map, so ensure you're heading in the ideal instructions. If you can't see one you can always open your parachute early and coast over to a decent landing zone. Simply know that every second you spend in the sky is a second your opponents will be using to scoop up loot. Let me re-emphasize this one last time-- if you pass away in PUBG Mobile you are dead. In solo play, there are no 2nd chances, and in teams you'll be putting your team's possibilities of success at risk if you keep getting downed early. When you struck the floor, your first top priority is preparing so you do not get clipped in any initial skirmishes. You'll find essential loot scattered around in buildings and supply cage drops. The latter include the most desired weapons like the insanely effective AWM sniper rifle however remember you will not be the only one hoping to get the spoils.

The most essential loot in the early stages is a half-decent weapons, ammo, and some reasonable armor, as well as a knapsack upgrade (as much as level 3) so you have space for better equipment as you start checking out. Any gun is better than your fists or even the legendary PUBG frying pan, so grab any close-by firearms before engaging an opponent. Armor is likewise important so you can take more hits in a firefight. Like the knapsack, head and body armor is graded from level 1 to 3, however level 3 armor is fairly rare. Go for level 2 armor prior to picking a scrap, or level 1 at a bare minimum. Health items are also a priority. First aid kits are more suitable, but plasters, pain relievers, and so on will all help in a pinch. Thrown items like grenades will end up being more important in the future as an offending or distraction tool once the gamer count has actually reduced, but don't be afraid to toss an explosive surprise if you come across an unsuspecting group early on. This is the ultimate rookie error and it'll get you eliminated more than anything else in PUBG Mobile. Deciding when to conceal and when to attack is a difficult balancing act, however you ought to never ever open fire unless you know your weapon has a possibility of striking the target. While understanding when you remain in range will take some practice for complete newcomers, if you have any experience with PvP shooters you'll currently have a reasonable understanding of the essentials. Shotguns (particularly the amazing S12K) and SMGs are useful for up-close burst damage, attack rifles and handguns are good for mid-range fights, and sniper rifles are perfect for long distance pot shots. If you're shooting at a distant opponent with, state, the otherwise fairly strong Tommy Gun, all you're doing is distributing your position which is a fatal error. Attachments can extend the range of some weapons-- assault rifles with scopes can in some cases be better than sniper rifles-- however some weapons are just beneficial in specific circumstances. Shotguns, for example, are a fantastic tool for clearing out a building however are practically ineffective exposed fields. Where possible, try to keep complementary weapons on hand and don't carry 2 weapons that fulfill the very same function. It'll take a fair couple of games to find out the design of particular locations of the PUBG Mobilemap, let alone the entire thing. While you're getting utilized to the landscape, make sure you're taking note of the small map and keeping an eye on the diminishing backyard. In PUBG, the just safe location lies within "The Circle". This circle will begin to shrink at choose times throughout the match and if you find yourself beyond it for too long, you'll ultimately die. The damage you take in this energized blue field will increase as the circle diminishes. Early on you'll be great for a few minutes, while in the very final stage you will not last more than 10 seconds. Each new circle will reveal on your map as a white summary, so if you view your map you'll constantly know where to go next. There's no requirement to rush in the early stages, however towards completion you'll need to get moving to prevent death while also attempting to stay away from other gamers who will be doing the same thing. You ought to constantly be attempting to stay in cover where possible, but if you do require to move, move quickly and with purpose.

The tiny map likewise has one last trick up its sleeve that you absolutely require to watch out for-- a fire sign. If you hear shooting in your vicinity, have a fast glance at the map and it'll show precisely where it's originating from. Required to get somewhere quick? Then you require a vehicle, my friend. Cars are littered all around Erangel however you'll discover them most frequently near the larger cities and on the main roads. Unfortunately, while there are plenty of cars to go around, there's also up to 99 other players potentially aiming to get behind the wheel too, so be sure it's safe prior to approaching. The motorbike and buggy are both excellent for zipping to the next backyard but will leave you relatively exposed. Larger lorries like the jeep will be slower but are terrific for bring around four players with a nice amount of security. PUBG Mobile's touchscreen controls can be a bit fiddly at the very best of times, so you can picture how tough it is to provide a lethal blow to a challenger when they're driving straight at you. The downside, nevertheless, is the amount of attention you'll draw thanks to those loud engines. PUBG video games generally end with a tiny group of fighters lying around on the flooring hoping another person pops their direct initially. That person generally gets domed instantly, by the way, so ensure it isn't you. Going completely prone in PUBG is an important maneuver, a lot so that it has its own dedicated button. It's also a double-edged sword, nevertheless, as while you'll get a good recoil and accuracy increase and normally be a little bit more concealed, mobility is almost non-existent. If someone techniques you from behind while you're on your chest, you're nearly absolutely going to wind up dead-- especially if you're browsing a scope at the same time. Keep an eye on your mini map and the environments before striking the flooring, and don't be afraid to flank your challengers when they're lying down. When out in the open, making the most of rocks and the sides of buildings for cover can be a much more secure alternative. What PUBG doesn't inform you is that you can really peek around the side of cover without exposing your squishy limbs, but to do that you'll have to take a fast journey to the Settings > Standard menu. Merely toggle Peek & Fire to "Enable" and you'll be able to peer around corners. Simply understand that you're far from invulnerable when doing this, as your head will lean with you, however you'll be a much smaller sized target. One last point on controls: remap the buttons if you require to. There are three presets for both general and automobile controls to select from, but if you can fine-tune these even further by hitting the Customize choice. You can move around every single element of the HUD to your preference, boost button sizes, and modify icon transparency, and you can likewise reset everything to default if you ruin. Erangel can be a really lonesome place when you're squatting in a field somewhere all alone, just awaiting a chance to strike. That all modifications in duo or group play where tactical play and consistent communication are crucial to triumph. Practically every aspect of Player Unknown's Battlegrounds Mobile changes in co-op, be it selecting a place to land, deciding who takes what loot, picking a target, and even calling who gets to ride shotgun in a lorry. Attacking in numbers is far safer than splitting up, however equally, you'll require to maintain a little range from your allies from time to time to flank opponents and hold perspective. Fortunately, Player Unknown's Battlegrounds Mobile supports native voice chat utilizing your device's speakers and microphone, although you will have to make it possible for the latter in Settings > Audio. Alternatively, if you have a few buddies, you can constantly use voice and chat apps like Discord.

pubg mobile tips

The two greatest computer games on the planet right presently are PUBG and Fortnite, and both have just become greater than at any other time now that they’re land on mobile phones. The two major battle royale sensations are presently accessible on mobile phones, and when all is said, both complete an excellent activity of gathering the comfort and PC encounter down into something that can fit in your pocket or be played while traveling in a train or taxi. The Battle Royale games have exploded in popularity, while there are other battle royale games out there but these two have taken the entire mobile gaming. Generally, these games were available over on PC and different other platforms; in any case, they’ve advanced toward mobile platform also, including the biggest tech giant Android. To know more about Pubg info and tips visit us at pubg mobile tips and pubgmobile info

There can be only one winner. Today we will talk about how pubg mobile is better than fornite (pubg vs fortnite) or the other way around. Both games are extremely fun and competitive. But the query is which one you should be dedicated to so that you can master your shooting skills and win some tournaments and earn rewards. In case you are wondering the difference between the two games, we will give you an honest and reliable opinion which one is better so let us get started.

So What is Battle Royale?

We should begin by discussing what Battle Royale really is. The class is still generally new so there’s no hard definition to pass by, yet the early amusements regularly have one attribute in like manner: that Hunger Games style of a stipulation that undertake you with getting by up against various different players who are hoping to do the same.

Most normally, these game styles include dropping into a big map alone or in a squad, discovering weapons, gears, and items, and hustling a type of racing that in the end forces everybody to battle. The last man/squad standing wins.

PUBG Mobile vs Fortnite: Graphics

It is a very really big deal if the user interfaces is not good when it comes to mobile shooters like this. Tencent’s Lightspeed and Quantum Studios have streamlined the reasonable designs of Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds for the mobile version, yet the embodiment is still there. The characters, map, and weapons are altogether realistic. Fortnite Mobile, on the other hand, takes a more cartoony approach and most of the weapons are from a kind of sci-fi film. In PUBG Mobile, players parachute out of a loaded plane onto an island with an army camp, school or a power plant. In Fortnite Mobile, players skydive out of a bus tied to an enormous balloon, dampening their fall with an umbrella or modern lightweight glider.

Winner: Tie

The UITalking about the controls they look somewhat similar but we in feel pubg mobile the button format is significantly more instinctive with the different icon less demanding to reach without incidentally squeezing the wrong icon. Moreover, Fortnite is in an early release state and will probably observe numerous more changes and enhancements in the coming months. Winner: pubgGamplay The basic gameplay is the same. Players are dropped onto an island with 99 other opponents, from there you collect weapons and other gear to fight until the last man is standing. The play area also known as the circle also grows smaller and smaller, forcing the rest of the players come closer to one another. The area outside the play zone deals constant damage, and ought to be kept away from no matter what. PUBG further restrains the play area with red zones, where bombs drop from the sky that will in a flash kill player outside of cover. A correlation between the gameplay of Fortnite versus PUBG takes after similarly as their visuals. PUBG Mobile is serious and weapon battles give a genuine sense that death is fast approaching, though Fortnite Mobile gives players significantly more space to move and play inventively.Pubg is more real. That implies things like bullet drop which makes damage tumble off at longer range and expects you to change your shots to represent height and distance are stressed as these mechanics make a skill gap. On the other hand Fortnite is about senseless as its gets. Its cartoony and unrealistic and you can throw grenade to make your opponent dance. Run through Portal has taken to skies and from nowhere again on the ground. Anything can actually happen in fornite. Both titles target 30 fps, We rarely noticed any significant dips below that target from either game. Technically, fornite is little smoother but Pubg mobile give you way to tweak performance. Fortnite doesn’t give you the option to choose between specific graphical presets, and the only visual setting you can tweak is turning peripheral lighting on or off and that is where fortnite gets beaten. In pubg mobile it will provide multiple options tweak settings if your device is struggling. Additionally, PUBG Mobile’s menu has multiple settings that relate to frame rate and graphics. For us, running the game at the high fps setting produced stable performance. Winner: DrawBotsPubg Mobile’s decision to bring bots is the main thing that separates with Fornite Mobile. Fortnite has none of this. In practice tough the bots in Pubg Mobile end up making the game easier for the new comers. meanwhile in fornite you have to deal with full 100 human players. Though this topic is controversial , no one wants to get knocked out in the first few seconds of the match. Availability. Pubg Mobile may be available on the same platform but that does not mean you can play them on every device. PUBG Mobile is the most pervasive, with in excess of 500+Android devices being supported. whereas in case of Fortnite the list of devices is limited to Samsung Exclusive devices. That includes the Galaxy S7 and newer, Galaxy Tab S3 and the Galaxy Note 8 and newer. You can get access to some other devices which has 2 GB of ram or higher in beta mode.Winner: PubgVerdict In the end, both these battle royale games are the two most popular video games in the world right now are great. We like both games but the mobile ports we generally feel like going with player unknown’s battleground. Fortnite will certainly make huge improvements over the coming weeks. Pubg is more assured controls and less nervous aiming. But wait Pubg Mobile and Fortnite two of the debates that will grace mobile platforms in years
