Microsoft X018: Here Are The Six Biggest Announcements

Before I proceed, let’s address the elephant in the room. Yes, Fortnite has stolen a massive number of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds players, and the number seems to be increasing every single day. However, there is one aspect that the developers at PUBG Corporation have in their game compared to everyone else: that sweet, sweet chicken dinner. I have not found any other experience that can replicate the joyous and rewarding feeling after winning that glorious m


Horses are your main mode of transportation, duh. As such these majestic beasts actually level up. The more you ride them, groom them, and feed them, the better bond you will have, which will then increase stats. There are also abilities gained with leveling up like being able to dr


In addition to the new skins system in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds that will provide players some flexibility in customizing their characters' appearance, the update also introduces some new options for earning cosmetic items through the Triumph and Raider crates. The Triumph crates can only be opened by purchasing a Weapon Cosmetic Key, while the Raider crates can be opened for free from players that earn them in-g


PlayerUnkown's Battlegrounds isn’t the best-made game in the world, visually. It also doesn’t run particularly well -- a fact that developers made light of in their recent Inside Xbox Live at Gamescom showcase. We are eight months past the official release of Version 1.0, and the battle royale game is still riddled with bugs on PC; that's not even mentioning the Xbox One version, which is finally coming out of Early Access . In fact, PUBG Corporation, the developers behind the game, literally created a website entitled fix.PUBG online guide.com that outlines their roadmap for updates that will better optimize the performance of the title. There are a lot of unignorable issues that understandably drive players a


Guess I'll have to wait because a beta won't even be ready until November. Will we even get the full release this year? Hard to say. This is just like Grand Theft Auto V's launch. You'd think Rockstar would have lear


Prequels, especially ones that center on how villains rise to power and turn from good to bad, Star Wars cough, can be dicey. So again, that had me concerned. Then their first few trailers were story focused, which was kind of mind-boggling to me. What even is this game? A true gameplay trailer didn’t even release until a few months away from this launch and even then I was a bit baffled. So now that it’s out, what do I think? To be blunt, I love it. That said there are some confusing things I wish I knew before I started so here are some helpful tips and just some odd observations for newcomers. Hope this he


This is why the two games are not a great comparison. On one side, Epic’s battle royale experience is all about close range combat and constructing forts. Whereas PUBG Corporation's rendition revolves around patience, strategy, and close to medium range combat. Your opinion of each game will most likely align with your playstyle. Most people love to run and gun. That is a big reason why Call of Duty sells so incredibly well every year and that is probably why Fortnite exploded. Well, besides it also being f


Let’s say you do want a more up close and personal type of gameplay though. Well PUBG has you covered on that as well. The game has all different kinds of events that take place periodically and mix things up a bit. The Tequila Sunrise mode, where the only weapons available are shotguns and melee weapons, completely alters how you play because you have to be within close range to do any damage. This usually results in chaotic firefights. War Mode sets three teams of ten players against each other at designated areas of the map and is similar to the standard team deathmatch. Metal Rain multiplies squads by two and features eight-player teams. The ever-rotating set of events always offer a refreshing change when you might not want to play the normal battle royale mode. While these modes do provide a nice change of pace, I always come back to what PUBG got so right the first time aro

Comparing this to PUBG is almost like a night and day difference. You must always be on your toes. One bad decision could cost you and your squad the match. Whether it is how you ransack a set of buildings, or how you make your approach toward the circle, battlegrounds will always reward the squad that communicates and puts some careful thought into their playst


Red Dead Redemption II has a pretty bleak and confusing opening. I had no idea it was going to start with your gang being stranded in the mountains, deep in cold snow, and on the brink of being wiped out. Aside from the atmosphere, it's also just kind of dull and drawn out. This tempered my excitement for the game and I kept telling myself "this is going to get good" just to keep myself going. It's not the worst opening 2-3 hours of a game, but it was a letdown, to say the le
