Bugs, Bugs, and More Bugs
Mistakes PUBG Committed That Dropped it Below Fortnite
Now I’m going to start this off by saying that neither of these games are perfect. Both Fortnite and PUBG have their fair share of bugs but they are inherently more obvious in a game that aims for realism. PUBG has had some pretty egregious issues over the last year, from game-breaking lag to random and inexplicable deaths. These issues stick out like a sore thumb here because of the slow, tactical nature of the game. It is just so much more frustrating being pulled out of a game you’ve been crawling around in for the last 40 minutes than one like Fortnite where you can jump back into a game with ease. The bugs in PUBG definitely lost it some players, and put off new ones who didn’t want to throw $40 down on a game which was broken. These issues are best exemplified on the Xbox One version of the game which is still, to this day, a real mess.
These bugs frequently lose you the game, and, after persisting for months, become completely tiresome. It’s difficult to be taken seriously as the hottest game in the world when, on the face of it, you don’t seem to be a finished product. PUBG’s version 1.0 was met with even more issues which is pretty unacceptable given that, by comparison, Fortnite is still in Early Access. Fortnite’s free price tag seems to give it some breathing room in terms of jank, day and night difference from the ire that PUBG receives when anything goes wrong.
