With Google considering entering the video game console market , there's every chance that things could get even hot
On the original map—Erangel—the island on which everyone spawns in before entering the plane is home to some unique terrain and tables of every gun in the game. While the intentions behind this location is to have a place where players can load in and mess around with the various guns in the game, players discovered that you could take a boat from the main island back to this spawn island to get any gun they wanted. While the loot now de-spawns after a patch it is still possible to reach this island, but there is no reason to anym
Samus Returns , however, pushes Metroid 2 into the modern age, updating the game into 2.5D for the 3DS and bringing with it a ton of new features. What's more, it's a great return for the franchise as a whole, suggesting there's still a bright future for Metroid and the upcoming Metroid Prime
Movement speed will be descreased slightly when holding SRs, LMGs (M249, DP28) and shotguns. Equipped weapon affects both your sprinting speed and your running (normal movement) speed. They’ve also removed the first shot delay when your character is not sprinting. Chambering a new round in certain weapons (M24, Kar98k, S1897, etc.) no longer limits you to walking speed while aiming down sights and the amount your camera shakes after being shot ("aim punch") now depends on the amount of damage rece
Picking up a level 3 vest can make a player unstoppable, as it provides the most armour you can get in the game. What many players may not understand however, is that each piece of armour has its own durability, which dictates how many bullets it can take before break
Although an extremely recent lawsuit, this one has the potential to be one of the most controversial of all time, in part due to the sheer profile of those involved. Back in the summer of 2015, Bethesda hit gold with its mobile game Fallout Shelter , successfully converting the world of Fallout into a mobile game format. However, when the company saw a similar game based on Westworld from Warner Bros. and developer Behaviour Interactive, who co-developed Fallout Shelter , the company was not pleased, and promptly sued Warner Bros. with a strongly-worded s

Take the frying pan for example, in many games not only would you not see weapons not currently held by a player but these weapons would have no impact on gameplay but in PUBG the frying pan can block bullets at any time—even when holstered on the player's back. This can lead to players not understanding why their shots aren't connecting if they hit the frying pan on an enemy pla
There are quite a few of fundamental gameplay changes in addition to what comes inherently with what's listed above. Along with a pair of new optics to pickup for instance, the existing optics can be customized a little by players. You can now change the reticle style and color on the red-dot, holo-sight, and 2x scope using the scope zeroing keys (Page Up/Page Down by defau
The original Life is Strange was something of a powerhouse of storytelling, utilizing its episodic nature to tell a twisting tale of time manipulation and fate. It ended up being a smash hit, Onboarding Experience winning a huge number of fans and gaining plenty of award nominations and victor
The absence of building massive structures in _ PUBG _ creates the need for a more thought out strategy when traversing the wide-open terrain of the map. Should players suddenly come under fire, they will need to search for cover to avoid getting shot, rather than building up some makeshift cover. While doors and windows can be blown away, _ PUBG’s _ structures themselves do not take damage (which is surprising considering the game’s focus on realism). At any rate, (depending on the situation) shootouts tend to be intense and pulse-pounding as players peek out from behind walls with the hopes of nailing a headshot and dropping the en
