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 This means that for example, when aiming down the sight, you won't gain the full accuracy improvements from ADS until your sights are aligned. The winning player or team will now be given approximately 8 seconds to celebrate their victory before the match ends and results are displa Even though the game tells you repeatedly that it’s important to eat and drink to stay alive, it really isn’t. Sleeping will pretty much rejuvenate all three of your bars, which is to say health, stamina, and your Dead Eye. Eating is just a good way when exploring to keep your health from draining. Another upkeep feature that isn't that necessary is grooming. If you want to trim your hair, or beard, cool, but you can also let them g 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 Finally, the Steam Community post from PUBG Missions Corps also detailed that the developer is working on is a region lock-esque system for improving network performance for players in-game. Specifically, the system would only connect players from that region to connect and play, and regions would be invisible to players residing in other regions (excluding players that team up from opposite regio Microsoft shocked everyone back at E3 2018 when they revealed that they had acquired Playground Games, Undead Labs, Ninja Theory, The Initiative, and Compulsion Games , but they were still able to add two more studios to that lineup today: inXile Entertainment and Obsidian Entertainm Microsoft just held their Inside Xbox: X018 Special, which was home to a wide variety of interesting announcements regarding upcoming lineup of games, DLC, and updates. That being said, six specific announcements stood out from the pack, so I wanted to highlight them here for those of you that may have missed this latest Inside Xbox Livestr 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 PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is available now on PC, Xbox One, iOS, and Android. For a closer look at the upcoming changes and additions coming from Update 15 on PC, you can read the full patch notes below, along with several new images and a few vid The update itself will be rolling out later this week, according to PUBG Corp, with an expected launch date of June 22nd, 2018. Until its official launch later this week, the Sanhok map will be available in the game's test server to try out on PC, as w Fortnite can feel the complete opposite. Don’t get me wrong; the game is fantastic. I see why it has exploded into what it is today. It still never connected with me though. While you will find yourself in a lot more battles in Epic’s rendition of battle royale, I always felt that it was missing some suspense. No matter where you are at in Fortnite , you have cover. Well, unless you do not have any building materials, but that is not to often since you can gather materials from almost every object. Running from town to town usually is not an issue because if an enemy spots you and starts firing, just pop up a few walls and boom, cover! In fact, you can pull an entire fortress out of your pocket at a moment's notice, provided you have the equipment. If I see another player off in the distance, a distance close enough that I can do some damage, I won’t bother because the opponent can erect a tower at the snap of a fin Yes, you can miss missions. Now that may make sense if your caravan moves to a new area, or if a character, the quest giver, passes away. Those seem obvious, but there was one that didn't seem so obvious. In chapter three, I had two yellow missions as well as a white mission that said Abigail wanted to talk to me. Well when I did one of the yellows, Abigail’s disappeared, which was weird because it seemingly had nothing to do with what I just did. That's just the one I caught. Did I miss more before t
