PewDiePie then apologized for the incident, saying that he is sorry if he had "offended, hurt or disappointed anyone" with his inappropriate language. Wrapping up his video, the YouTuber stated that he really wants to "improve," not just for himself, but for all those who are influenced by
"You probably won't believe me when I say this but whenever I go online and I hear other players use the same kind of language I did, I always find it extremely immature and stupid. And I hate how I now personally fed into that part of gaming as well. It was something I said in the heat of the moment. I said the worst word I could possibly think of. And it just sort of slipped out. I'm not going to make any excuses as to why it did because there are no excuses for it. I'm disappointed in myself because it seems like I've learned nothing from all these past controversies. And it's not that I think I can say or do whatever I want and get away with it. That's not it at all. I'm just an idi
What most fans seem to agree on, though, is that they would like both games to coexist peacefully. They may include battle royale gameplay, but that doesn't mean that there can only be one victor once this dispute is sett
It seems that the comparisons have not gone unnoticed by the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds ' ( PUBG ) team either, as today, developer Bluehole sent out a press release criticizing Epic Games over its Fortnite update. Bluehole vice president Chang Han Kim says, "After listening to the growing feedback from our community and reviewing the gameplay for ourselves, we are concerned that Fortnite may be replicating the experience for which PUBG is known." Kim also reveals that Bluehole has had "an ongoing relationship with Epic Games throughout PUBG ’s development as they are the creators of [Unreal Engine 4], the engine we licensed for the ga
Instead of transferring the PC experience as closely as possible to console, since this isn't working as is, a new control scheme and some changes to the map perhaps could have helped alongside the obviously much-needed optimization. PUBG is a large, complex beast of a game mode, and as something relatively poorly coded even in its prime version, it's not an easy thing that should be rushed as an Xbox exclusive. I'd take Minecraft graphics if this thing just ran well and played w
The Battlegrounds team is "concerned that Fortnite may be replicating the experience for which PUBG is known for," with Kim warning that the Bluehole team is "contemplating further action." At visit this page point, it's unclear exactly what that this "further action" might look like, but if Bluehole does decide to file a lawsuit, then it could put the future of Fortnite 's soon-to-be free to play game mode at r
Taking all of this into consideration, it's great to see Bluehole Studio bringing another feature that PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds fans on both PC and Xbox One can enjoy. Without a doubt, the inclusion of the First Person Perspective mode on the console version of the game will help bring more attention to the title overall and potentially pull some Xbox fans away from their time with PUBG competitor Fortni
Titled "My Response," the short video is devoid of PewDiePie's trademark shock humor, and directly addresses his use of a racial slur. The YouTuber begins by saying that he always found the use of inappropriate racial slurs by other players "immature and stupid" before conceding that he hates how he "personally fed into that part of gaming as well." PewDiePie continues by saying that his use of a racial slur had "slipped out" in the heat of the moment and that he's "disappointed" in himself because this latest incident demonstrates that he has "learned nothing" from all his past controversi
Performance aside, PUBG is simply a bad "shooter" with an awful control scheme on Xbox. Reloading a weapon for instance in the heat of battle requires players to hold down the 'X' button instead of just pressing it quickly. Aiming down sites isn't holding down the left trigger, it's tapping it. Inexplicable, holding down the trigger instead just slightly tightens the crosshair (it does the same on PC). Sometimes it won't even work unless it's tapped perfectly. Getting in and out of vehicles are two separate buttons and if you want to pick up a specific item from a pile of loot on the ground or move mods from one weapon to another, you better hide yourself for a few minutes. PUBG does not work well on consoles at all in its current state and needs another year in the oven. Even the little things, like basic matchmaking problems with friends or typos in the menus, aren't addressed. It's the sloppiest award-winning game, and the poorest performing shooter we've seen on current generation conso
Remember when there was talk about the Xbox One X enhanced version of PUBG hitting 60 fps before it was corrected and stated that it'd only run at 30? Maybe someone misheard "16." You'd be lucky to get that at the start of a match. It's unbelievable that this game was allowed to be released in this state on consoles, no matter how many disclaimers are built into the m
