Fortnite just didn’t take the high road when it came to shaping its battle royale mode. Instead of separating their mode from the competition like how GTA V did with their battle royale mode, they shamelessly and obviously ripped off features like player count, and game modes/variati
There is no telling how well the move to the PlayStation 4 will fare for _ Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds _ . Will it be enough to close the gap between it and rival _ Fortnite _ ? Probably not. But the two titles are different enough in their gameplay and style that both should be able to coexist peacefully and be worth your domain name t
Ultimately though, while there may be a few key weapons that help provide an advantage over other players, it does come down to which weapons you feel most comfortable using – so don’t be afraid to take some time to learn which weapons suit you b
Despite breaking Steam’s Current Player Count – once again – with more than 3.1 million concurrent players in December, it is no wonder that some of the games newer players may feel a little intimida
Bethesda is no stranger to a lawsuit, however, as shown by a previous legal battle from the company. In March 2011, Minecraft developer Mojang announced its second game, a collectible card game called Scrolls . However, apparently the name of the game put Bethesda on edge, thanks to their own series The Elder Scrolls , and the company sued Mojang over how close the names of the games w
_ Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds _ was released in March 2017, only a few months prior to _ Fortnite _ . While the game had plenty of players, it slowly lost its grasp on the leader of the battle royale scene to _ Fortnite _ . However, _ Fortnite’s _ popularity was not the only factor that weighed against _ PUBG
One other thing to mention is _ PUBG’s _ demographic, which tends to be older than that of _ Fortnite _ , according to a report by video game and esports analytics provider Newzoo . This isn’t necessarily a surprise considering _ Fortnite’s _ cartoonish style. Add on the fact that _ Fortnite _ is available on a more casual, accessible, and family-friendly console in the Nintendo Switch, and it makes sense that a younger audience would gravitate towards that game. _ PUBG , _ on the other hand, appeals more towards core gamers with a means to fund their gaming. This is an important distinction between the two games, especially considering that _ PUBG _ is a paid title, whereas _ Fortnite _ is free to p
Another example of this is Star Wars Galaxies . The MMO saw release over a year before World of Warcraft , but a mixture of missing features and some truly inaccessible gameplay for newcomers stopped the game from growing. World of Warcraft was able to easily dwarf the player base of Galaxies , and the changes made to the Star Wars MMO over the years ended up failing to bring in major numbers of new players and also drew complaints and allegations of betrayal from long-term fans of the g
PUBG , a more serious take on the battle royale formula, has no real place for things like taunts and dances. Sure, taunts are getting more and more popular in games, but they just don’t feel right in PUBG . I guess the devs didn’t care when they saw how popular they were in Fortni
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
The Storm is an undoubtedly cool feature: you’re caved in on this island and are slowly being pushed towards the middle by this abundance of fog known as the Storm. Too bad the Storm is yet another feature that feels creative, yet is another rip off of PUBG ’s blue cir
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
Players can also ultimately be running one way, while viewing a completely different direction. This is arguably one of the most overlooked features that new players continually miss when they first start playing the game – which sets them up at quite a disadvantage when versing more skilled play
With how unpolished PUBG is, it’s a surprise that it really did catch on as much as it did; but we guess that really is just part of the charm. One thing is for sure; when your chute snags on an invisible angle on the way down to the ground, there aren’t many things to do besides die and rage q
Not only does Fortnite do a better job of how they roll out their skins and costumes, but they also just have better cosmetics than PUBG. Fortnite ’s skins have become iconic to the gaming industry ranging from tomato heads to full-on armors like the Omega out
