Fortnite and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, better known as PUBG, are the two biggest battle royales to date. As of March 2019, the most recent data, Fortnite has a registered player count of 250 million users, blowing PUBG on PC's player count of 500,000 users out of the wa
A Chinese redditor recently posted an attempt at explaining the culture surrounding gaming in their home country, and they seem to suggest that, for many of their peers, the ends justify the means when it comes to online gaming. While most Western gamers are apt to feel that a victory is meaningless if they cheated their way to the top, a significant number of gamers in China don’t share those same qua
The rewards in Battle Pass are assured. Players level up from one tier to another, and no gambling is involved. The Battle Pass offers a clear roadmap of rewards, making gamers less likely to spend beyond their budget in the hopes of getting decent in-game it
The vehicles in PUBG are as essential to the game as players running through the fields swinging frying pans and getting sniped by Shroud. Let's see what we have here -- Minivans full of squads slamming into buildings and going up in flames, motorcyclists flipping through the skies only to get their best friend killed as they run into a tree -- ah, the list goes on. It's all so much good fun, and while Fortnite does have some great vehicles as of today, they're mostly meant for playing around with. They just aren't the craziness that can be found with the vehicles in P
PUBG is not the first battle royale in the existence of this overblown, saturated genre. But it was without a doubt one of the first to popularize it and shape it into what it is today. Many of the devs for PUBG even worked on the H1Z1 Survival Mode, the game mode that quite literally made the blueprint for modern battle royale. __ So in many rights it's hard not to see that Fortnite rode the coattails of PUBG, adding a handful of different elements to perfect the game. Still, I've put way more hours into PUBG, but when it comes to the better overall game... you'll just have to decide that for yours
As with all games, this downward trend in player count likely has a considerable amount to do with the game’s age. Few titles can boast the continued popularity of software like CS:GO or Team Fortress 2 , and, according to Steam Charts , this update did virtually nothing to draw players back to the game. While its status as a willing victim of player mal-intent couldn’t have helped, it’s likely that PUBG is succumbing to simple entr
No, it's not. The amount of carbon... One of the biggest things we're fighting in the climate crisis is the emission of carbon. That alone is being remedied in large part by the Amazon. And the Amazon being burned, and not being able to be part of our fight... It's so import
PUBG has something like a closed environment; the changes and updates they implement are often things they have already planned, and gamers rarely have any input. But this changes with Fortnite , which is what makes this game so popu
Both PUBG and Fortnite get updates. But with Fortnite , the updates are plenty. The game constantly gets new game modes and content, like a 20 vs 20 mode that makes five teams of 20 players each go up against each ot
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds may be one of the most dominant multiplayer releases of the past few years, but its shortcomings have come to eclipse the title’s once-sterling reputation. While the community circa March 2017 was optimistic and largely agreed that the game had quite a lot of potential, things seem on the verge of unraveling just two years later. When news came in late September last year that developer Bluehole would be axing the option to switch regions and gating certain players’ access to servers depending on ping, PUBG fans rejoiced. However, nearly six months have gone by since these features were implemented in Update 22, and the game’s multiplayer functionalities are still in a state of ch
While we take great joy in comparing these two battle royale titans, Fortnite really should be in a different league of it's own. PUBG is a traditional battle royale game, but Fortnite is not only battle royale, but Minecraft too. In the game you have to gather supplies and build to survive -- it's honestly quite bizarre when you really exam it. In the middle of a heated battle you could be mining for stone and build a four-story house. And don't think you'll get very far without utilizing these mechanics, as some of the best players have gotten that way by becoming master build
Yeah, yeah it is! We've done two years straight now. We've done this live podcast, which started off more as just a podcast, but this year, NFT creativity platform because of the reboot and all of that, it sort of took on a life of its own and became this event that we weren't originally setting out to do, but we did it! We ended up making this weekend out of it for fans of 90210. People flew in from all over the world, and we held the podcast at Torrance High School, where we shot the original show. That was West Beverly High. I had a bunch of cast members from the old show. Douglas Emerson, who played Scott, and Joe E. Tata, who played Nat, and Ian (Ziering) was there, and Gabrielle (Carteris) was there, and Christine Elise was there, and it was a really good time. So we all just sat and talked and had fun, and we had these really great packages for the people that were fans of the show to come. In some packages, they got to tour around in a car with the executive producer and one of the writers of the show, and they got to go to locations from the show and talk with them in the car. We had all these really special things. Some people got to tour the campus of the school. It was really fun. We ended up doing the whole thing with 100% of the proceeds going to generosity.org and to colorectal cancer awareness for Luke. It became a really great way to raise money for those foundations and to pay homage to the show and have fun with fans. I don't know if we'll do it again because it was a lot of work (Laughs), but the podcast has been really fun. We don't have any corporate sponsors, so Derek, my partner, we just hop on the phone together and we record on Sk
