In this game mode, 100 players are pitted against each other on a vast map where they fight for superiority to the last survivor.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since its release, PUBG has suffered a few setbacks, and the original game mode has been fighting to remain relevant in a market flooded with numerous games inspired by its success. The developers recently dropped PUBGs freemium game model in January 2022, which saw PUBG join the free-to-play platforms.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that PUBG is no longer new and as awe-inspiring as it once was in the gamer world, it is deficient compared to the other innovative battle royales available today. However, its distinctive focus on realistic simulation and massive zones still give it a massive fanbase and make it relevant.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Excellent_Third-Person_Play\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Excellent Third-Person Play\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_62 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title \" >Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #0a0a0a;color:#0a0a0a\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #0a0a0a;color:#0a0a0a\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 eztoc-toggle-hide-by-default' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/jnv.academy\/topic\/pubg-pc-review-the-most-interesting-shooter-in-years\/#Excellent_Third-Person_Play\" title=\"Excellent Third-Person Play\u00a0\">Excellent Third-Person Play\u00a0<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/jnv.academy\/topic\/pubg-pc-review-the-most-interesting-shooter-in-years\/#Excellent_Terrain_Use\" title=\"Excellent Terrain Use\u00a0\">Excellent Terrain Use\u00a0<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/jnv.academy\/topic\/pubg-pc-review-the-most-interesting-shooter-in-years\/#Microtransaction_Reaction\" title=\"Microtransaction Reaction\">Microtransaction Reaction<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/jnv.academy\/topic\/pubg-pc-review-the-most-interesting-shooter-in-years\/#What_About_Security\" title=\"What About Security?\">What About Security?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/jnv.academy\/topic\/pubg-pc-review-the-most-interesting-shooter-in-years\/#PUBG_Battlegrounds_Screenshots\" title=\"PUBG: Battlegrounds Screenshots\">PUBG: Battlegrounds Screenshots<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/jnv.academy\/topic\/pubg-pc-review-the-most-interesting-shooter-in-years\/#Bottom_Line\" title=\"Bottom Line\u00a0\">Bottom Line\u00a0<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The third-person play in PUBG is more popular than the first-person play game modes as it feels better. This appears because the player models are physically simulated, similar to characters from Red Dead Redemption 2 or Grand Theft Auto 5. The player&#8217;s movements are more fluid in third-person play, making the character reasonably fragile and giving the player better control.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The difference between the quality of the first-person and third-person shooters is noticeable, and players can quickly tell that the game wasn\u2019t intended for first-person play. Aiming is incredibly stiff, and the first-person game mode in PUBG cannot compare to proper first-person shooters.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Excellent_Terrain_Use\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Excellent Terrain Use\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">PUBG has seven vast and diverse maps, such as the golden deserts of Mirimar and the Eastern European-inspired Erangel. Players unfamiliar with the maps can easily get lost due to their sheer size, as it is impossible to see everything at once.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">PUBG keeps the battle royales attractive by shrinking the survival zone. As time passes and more players drop out, the playable area is swallowed in, and players are forced to keep moving.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can use the various villages, outposts, and numerous terrain features like mountains and rivers to the player&#8217;s advantage if the player approaches the map as a tactical ground. Everything is beautiful to look at, and the countless variables presented during the battle royale keep the players on their toes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Microtransaction_Reaction\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Microtransaction Reaction<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/parimatch.in\/en\/page\/pubg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">PUBG<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has microtransactions that are similar to your typical online game. The digital store available in the game sells various weapon skins, vehicles, clothing items, and cosmetics.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Players can purchase the items available on the digital store using G Coins and real-world currency in some cases. They can also purchase the G Coins directly from the store at varying price ranges, with 510 G Coins going for $4.99 and building up to 11,200 G Coins for $99.99.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Activation of the Battlegrounds Plus+ will cost the player $13. The Battlegrounds Plus+ gives the player permanent rewards such as access to ranked play after reaching level 80 Survival Mastery and a 100% XP boost.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Players with Battlegrounds Plus+ can also host their custom matches and show off their Chicken Dinner Medals after winning a match. The activation also comes with 1300 G Coins.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_About_Security\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What About Security?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">PUBG runs well on PC. While the Physics and technicals could improve, there are no bugs that could threaten the player&#8217;s experience in the game. However, hacking has become a prevalent issue in the PUBG community.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the best experience, players are advised to play PUBG on a powerful PC. It should have an excellent resolution to support the game&#8217;s additional field of view and expansive landscapes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"PUBG_Battlegrounds_Screenshots\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">PUBG: Battlegrounds Screenshots<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The PUBG experience on PlayStation 5 is rough compared to that of PC. Players are indistinguishable at long range, which makes the vast maps in the game feel empty.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Though the performance mode in the PlayStation model aims for a smooth experience with 60fps at 1080, the imprecise controls, the limited draw distance, and the absence of 4K fidelity make it difficult for players to enjoy the game.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, players who play on PlayStation are looking to play against other Xbox and PlayStation players, unlike other battle royale games that allow cross-play between PC and console platforms.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Besides the survival in team and solo modes, PUBG does not offer much. There are few exciting custom maps and only one official Arcade mode, Team Deathmatch, which is not as fun to play as the battle royale. This single-mode focus means that PUBG does not have the versatility of games such as Fortnite.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bottom_Line\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bottom Line\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">PUBG\u2019s slow-paced survival struggle creates infinite storylines for players, intense moments, and memorable shootouts in every match. While PC players enjoy most of the game\u2019s features with little concern, console players often find the game&#8217;s technicality disappointing. The vast 8 X 8 km maps do not render in accurate detail, making the console experience subpar.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, players willing to overlook these technical difficulties enjoy PUBG\u2019s hectic firefights and intense survival that heavily relies on their skills and tactics.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<!--OffAfMore--><!--OffBfLastPara-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PlayerUnknown\u2019s Battlegrounds was released on Stream five years ago and has since popularized the battle royale game mode.
