As it so happens, this isn’t the first instance of players getting some kind of comeuppance after cheating in PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds , as Tencent–that is, the company responsible for the game’s Chinese localization and the mobile port–recently helped police arrest 120 cheat makers in China . Interestingly enough, some Chinese cheaters caught in the crackdown had already done jail time in the past, which makes one wonder if PUBG Loot Guide Corp’s huge ban of 100,000 players will actually assist in deterring further exploitation in the fut
Still, for a sample understanding of why the game has been all the rage on PC, the Xbox version does at least show what it’s like to drop in amongst so many other players with nothing but your wits, skills, and ability to manage the worst shooter mechanics imaginable. If you’re okay with most aspects of the game being sub-par, you can still get in on a big battle royale experience, we just can’t recommend it in its current state. Fortnite , although a very different kind of 100-person battle royale, is not only polished, but free-to-play as an alternat
Instead of transferring the PC experience as closely as possible to console, since this isn’t working as is, a new control scheme and some changes to the map perhaps could have helped alongside the obviously much-needed optimization. PUBG is a large, complex beast of a game mode, and as something relatively poorly coded even in its prime version, it’s not an easy thing that should be rushed as an Xbox exclusive. I’d take Minecraft graphics if this thing just ran well and played w
PUBG is not the first game to offer this experience. Its titular “PlayerUnknown” (real name: Brendan Greene) even worked on battle royales previously, helping develop similar modes as a mod for ARMA 2 , for DayZ , and then as a standalone H1Z1 game before becoming creative director at South Korea’s Bluehole Entertainment who made PUBG in less than year – a game that’s gone on to win ‘ Best Multiplayer Game’ of 2017 at The Game Awards. What makes PUBG special is that it offers the best version of this experience, even as an incomplete game in early access on
Chumacera is the husk of Miramar’s once thriving textile industry. Long abandoned factories overlook a main road lined with residential and commercial buildings. Verticality in both the buildings and terrain make this town an exciting location to loot- high risk, high opportun
PewDiePie then apologized for the incident, saying that he is sorry if he had “offended, hurt or disappointed anyone” with his inappropriate language. Wrapping up his video, the YouTuber stated that he really wants to “improve,” not just for himself, but for all those who are influenced by
Finally, the patch for PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds also adds analog stick acceleration when jumping out of the plane and while parachuting. For many, the experience had previously felt painful to experience due to issues with the Xbox One version’s performance , and the fact that using the sticks didn’t offer any way to speed up and get to the ground faster than the competition. For a complete list of the patch’s contents, check out the rundown toward the end of the arti
San Martín is located just west of Hacienda Del Patrón. Checkpoints and barriers have transformed this once-quiet small town into a war zone. Both sides of the town have overlooks, so careful players should scout first, before charging into town.

Performance aside, PUBG is simply a bad “shooter” with an awful control scheme on Xbox. Reloading a weapon for instance in the heat of battle requires players to hold down the ‘X’ button instead of just pressing it quickly. Aiming down sites isn’t holding down the left trigger, it’s tapping it. Inexplicable, holding down the trigger instead just slightly tightens the crosshair (it does the same on PC). Sometimes it won’t even work unless it’s tapped perfectly. Getting in and out of vehicles are two separate buttons and if you want to pick up a specific item from a pile of loot on the ground or move mods from one weapon to another, you better hide yourself for a few minutes. PUBG does not work well on consoles at all in its current state and needs another year in the oven. Even the little things, like basic matchmaking problems with friends or typos in the menus, aren’t addressed. It’s the sloppiest award-winning game, and the poorest performing shooter we’ve seen on current generation conso
The most popular PC shooter of the year, and one of the most streamed games online, is finally available on consoles and wow, the devs can take this one back. **PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds ** released on the Xbox One family of consoles yesterday as part of the Game Preview (early access) program and it’s awkwardly bad, a result of an extremely rushed production by the developers with the help of Microsoft so Xbox could have a notable exclusive out just in time for the holid
