AMONG US.... SHHHH.....!!!!

Hi guys, I'm back with a new blog on a new topic which is almost played by or at least once heard about it if he is active in the gaming field. This game is none other than AMONG US.....

AMONG US is a 2018 online multiplayer social deduction game developed and published by American game studio Inner sloth. The game was inspired by the party game Mafia and the science fiction horror film 'The Thing'. The game allows for cross-platform play, first being released on iOS and Android devices in June 2018 and on Windows later that year in November. The game was then ported to the Nintendo Switch in December 2020, and on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S in December 2021. While the game was initially released in 2018 to little mainstream attention, it received a massive influx of popularity in 2020 due to many well-known Twitch streamers and YouTubers playing it. A separate VR version of the game, Among Us VR, will be released for Meta Quest 2, Steam VR, and PlayStation VR, developed by Schell Games.

OVERVIEW:

AMONG US takes place in a space-themed setting where players look like colorful armless cartoon astronauts; however, since the release of "The Skeld" spaceship,

three other maps have been added in later years: the skyscraper "MIRA HQ", the "Polus" planetary station, and "The Airship" (based on Infiltrating the Airship from the Henry Stickmin series, also developed by Inner sloth). Each player takes on one of two roles—most are Crewmates, but a small number play Impostors—which does not alter their appearance. Players suspected of being Impostors may be eliminated via a plurality vote of the remaining players, which any player may initiate by reporting a dead body or calling for an Emergency Meeting (except during a crisis).

The goal of the Crewmates is to identify the Impostors, eliminate them, and complete tasks around the map; the goal of the Impostor(s) is to covertly sabotage the mission either by killing the Crewmates before they complete all their tasks or by triggering a disaster that cannot be resolved.

GAME AND IT'S FAME:

While Among Us released in 2018, it was not until mid-2020 that it saw a surge of popularity, initially driven by content creators online in South Korea and Brazil.

Bromander stated that the game is more popular in Mexico, Brazil, and South Korea than the United States. According to Willard, Twitch streamer Sodapoppin first popularized the game on Twitch in July 2020. Many other Twitch streamers and YouTubers followed suit, including prominent content creators xQc, Pokimane, Shroud, Ninja, Disguised Toast and PewDiePie.

CHARACTERS:

When alive, the characters are presented as humanoid beings, wearing a spacesuit. They have small legs, and don't seem to have arms, although they do have hands. Behind their backs is what appears to be a backpack, the use of which is unknown. According to the scanner, they are a meter tall, and have a blood type similar to humans. Their suit has a visor to see.  When killed, the crew member transforms into a ghost, and his body stays put.

No matter how he dies, his corpse will always consist of his lower body, as well as a huge bone.  Ghosts are beings having the same appearance as the living, except that they have no legs, and they float. They are also transparent.  The player can choose the color of his character, between Red, Purple, Green, White, Black, Blue, Pink, Yellow, Orange, Light green, Brown and Cyan; but also its accessories. 

MY OPINION:

      This game is a damn sure real fun to play. It's more of a detective game and a collective opinion is very much needed. I would definitely recommend all to please try this game at least once now, if you haven't yet. Hope you guys like it and show support as always...

BGMI - YEH PUB-G WALA HAI KYA😜???

Hi guys. I'm back here with another blog on a mass entertainer game - PUB-G. I'm sure that at least 70% of my audience has at least once played this game. This game has created many records and has still lot achieve...

OVERVIEW:

PUBG: Battlegrounds (or PUBG, previously known as Player Unknown's Battlegrounds) is an online multiplayer battle royale game developed and published by PUBG Corporation, a subsidiary of Bluehole. The game is based on previous mods that were created by Brendan "Player Unknown" Greene for other games, inspired by the 2000 Japanese film Battle Royale, and expanded into a standalone game under Greene's creative direction. In the game, up to one hundred players parachute onto an island and scavenge for weapons and equipment to kill others while avoiding getting killed themselves. The available safe area of the game's map decreases in size over time, directing surviving players into tighter areas to force encounters. The last player or team standing wins the round.

ABOUT THE GAME:

PUBG is a player versus player shooter game in which up to one hundred players fight in a battle royale, a type of large-scale last man standing deathmatch where players fight to remain the last alive.

Players can choose to enter the match solo, duo, or with a small team of up to four people. The last person or team alive wins the match. Each match starts with players parachuting from a plane onto one of the four maps, with areas of approximately 8 × 8 kilometers (5.0 × 5.0 mi), 6 × 6 kilometers (3.7 × 3.7 mi), and 4 × 4 kilometers (2.5 × 2.5 mi) in size. The plane's flight path across the map varies with each round, requiring players to quickly determine the best time to eject and parachute to the ground.

Players start with no gear beyond customized clothing selections which do not affect gameplay. Once they land, players can search buildings, ghost towns and other sites to find weapons, vehicles, armor, and other equipment. These items are procedurally distributed throughout the map at the start of a match, with certain high-risk zones typically having better equipment. Killed players can be looted to acquire their gear as well. Players can opt to play either from the first-person or third-person perspective, each having their own advantages and disadvantages in combat and situational awareness; though server-specific settings can be used to force all players into one perspective to eliminate some advantages. Every few minutes, the playable area of the map begins to shrink down towards a random location, with any player caught outside the safe area taking damage incrementally, and eventually being eliminated if the safe zone is not entered in time; in game, the players see the boundary as a shimmering blue wall that contracts over time. This results in a more confined map, in turn increasing the chances of encounters. During the course of the match, random regions of the map are highlighted in red and bombed, posing a threat to players who remain in that area. In both cases, players are warned a few minutes before these events, giving them time to relocate to safety. A plane will fly over various parts of the playable map occasionally at random, or wherever a player uses a flare gun, and drop a loot package, containing items which are typically unobtainable during normal gameplay.

These packages emit highly visible red smoke, drawing interested players near it and creating further confrontations. On average, a full round takes no more than 30 minutes. At the completion of each round, players gain in-game currency based on their performance. The currency is used to purchase crates which contain cosmetic items for character or weapon customization. A rotating "event mode" was added to the game in March 2018. These events change up the normal game rules, such as establishing larger teams or squads, or altering the distribution of weapons and armor across the game map.

ESPORTS:

To celebrate the game surpassing two million copies sold, Bluehole announced a 2017 Charity Invitational event, inviting 128 players to compete over their official Twitch channel to raise money for the Gamers Outreach Foundation, with Bluehole matching all donations up to US$100,000.

The competition ran in early May 2017, and raised at least US$120,000 from viewers along with Bluehole's US$100,000 match, and served as a prototype for future esports events for the game. During the August 2017 Gamescom event, Bluehole and ESL organized the first PUBG invitational tournament, with a $350,000 prize pool. Separate events were held for solo players, two-player teams, two-player teams fixed to first-person perspective, and four-player squads. Each event featured three matches, with the player or team scoring the highest across all three named winners. Greene said that while he had envisioned the battle royale format to be a spectator sport since his ARMA II mod, their approach to making PUBG an eSport would be a matter of taking "baby steps".

RECENT MAJOR TOURNAMENT:

The PUBG Mobile Global Championship is set to begin in November 2021, two weeks before the PUBG Global Championship on PC. 32 teams from seven competitive regions will earn their way into the competition for $6,000,000 in prize funds. It will be the highest single payout for any mobile esports tournament in history.

PUB-G'S DOWNTIME & ITS PRESENT CONDITION:

In March 2019, Battlegrounds was banned in the Indian state of Gujarat after the local government decided the game was too addictive and an unnecessary distraction during exam season. A number of students caught playing the game were arrested as a result. The ban was not renewed in some cities in the state after March as exam season had ended. A similar ban was enacted in Nepal and Iraq in April 2019, with the cited reasons being that the game was harmful to children and teenagers. The ban in Nepal was shortly lifted by the country's Supreme Court, stating that the government could not enforce such a ban that interfered with personal freedoms without demonstrating why the ban was necessary. In mid-2019, Jordan and the Indonesian province of Aceh issued similar bans. On July 1, 2020, Battlegrounds was banned in Pakistan by Pakistan Telecommunication Authority citing the reasons that the game is addictive, wastage of time and poses serious negative impact on physical and psychological health of the children after receiving various complaints from different segments of society and Lahore High Court's directions to look in the matter. However the ban is temporary till further orders from the court. The game continued to remain banned in Pakistan for a month. A meeting was held on July 30, 2020 between PTA and legal representatives of Proxima Beta who addressed the queries raised by authority and emphasized on continued engagement and a comprehensive control mechanism after which the ban was lifted from Battlegrounds.

Amidst the ongoing 2020 China–India skirmishes, the Indian government banned PUBG Mobile along with more than 100 other Chinese apps, most made by Tencent and Netease, on September 2, 2020, asserting the apps were "stealing and surreptitiously transmitting user data in an unauthorized manner to servers which have locations outside India". India was PUBG Mobile's largest market with the country accounting for 175 million downloads and 24% of global users.

BGMI - THE RISE OF NEW EMPIRE IN INDIA:

In November 2020, it was reported that PUBG Mobile was going to be relaunched in India, named as PUBG Mobile India. On 24 November 2020, a news published on The Times of India reported that PUBG Studios and South Korea’s video game company Krafton Inc. have registered PUBG India Private Limited under Ministry of Corporate Affairs, Government of India to relaunch PUBG Mobile in India.

In May 2021, it was reported that PUBG Mobile was being rebranded as Battlegrounds Mobile India to enter in the Indian gaming market. After that on 7 May 2021, a news by The Indian Express reported that, Krafton confirmed in a press statement that they were going to launch Battlegrounds Mobile India, a similar game to PUBG Mobile.

MASTER BLASTERS FROM INDIA:

 

1. SCOUT 

2. JONATHAN 

3. MORTAL  

4. SNAX  

5. CLUTCHGOD  

(These players are arranged on random basis and not on anybody's personal views or opinion)

MY OPINION:

To be honest, BGMI is a very good game to play. Though it has not gained much popularity as it's previous version, i.e. PUB-G, did, but this game has gained momentum and recently there are many tournaments which have started with huge prize pool. Hope you guys like it and do share it with your friends and also comment down your opinion. Please also do make sure that you follow me!!👀

MINECRAFT - MUST TRY ONCE...

 MINECRAFT - A CHANGE IN THE GAMING COMMUNITY?

Hi guys. I'm back here with a new blog about a game which needs no introduction - which is none other than MINECRAFT...

OVERVIEW:

       Minecraft is a sandbox video game developed by the Swedish video game developer Mojang Studios. 

The game was created by Markus "Notch" Persson in the Java programming language. Following several early private testing versions, it was first made public in May 2009 before fully releasing in November 2011, with Jens Bergensten then taking over development. Minecraft has since been ported to several other platforms and is the best-selling video game of all time, with over 238 million copies sold and nearly 140 million monthly active users as of 2021.

 Minecraft became highly successful, eventually the best-selling game of all time, giving Mojang sustained growth. With a desire to move on with the game, Persson offered to sell his share in Mojang, and the company was acquired by Microsoft through Xbox Game Studios (then known as Microsoft Studios) in November 2014.  In May 2020, Mojang was rebranded as Mojang Studios.

MODES:

     Selecting the right game mode in Minecraft Minecraft offers several different game modes that allow you to experience the open world in a unique way. The following types of Minecraft game modes are available:

• Survival — after randomly being spawned in a new world, players have to try to survive by gathering material, building shelter, gaining experience, and fighting off hostile mobs. 
  

• Creative — a game mode where players have immediate access to almost all blocks and items, are invulnerable and immune to death, and have the ability to fly. The purpose of this game mode is to create/design unique worlds.
  

•  Adventure — players interact with objects (levers, buttons) and mobs to complete an adventure.
  

•  Spectator — invisible to everything and cannot interact with blocks, entities, or your inventory. This mode is typically used to observe other players' created worlds.
  

•  Hardcore — similar to survival mode, Hardcore is set to the “hard” difficulty level permanently and players cannot respawn; once you die, the map is deleted (or you permanently become a spectator).

CREATIVITY:

Anyone can get bored of Minecraft and not know what to build next. There are so many things to build in Minecraft, such as houses, castles, fancy nether portals, bridges, or even statues. To make sure you don’t get bored or give up on your idea, pick a project that you will have fun building. It is also important to pick a building idea that is a little challenging, but not too challenging. So let's see a few of them.

1. CASTLE
   
   
   
2. MANSION 

   

   
   
3. TOWN 

   

   
   
4. FARM  

   

   
   
5. FAMOUS LANDMARK 

   

   
   

MY VIEWS ON THIS GAME:

Though this game was released much earlier than I knew but one thing which was very evident was its recent growth in India too wherein many streamers have started shifting from other battleground games to this and have continued in this. One can never get bored as there are lot many new things to explore and one can never get satisfied(in a positive sense) since this game is endless... I got to learn many new things and enjoyed a lot. Hope so this blog finds something attractive and helps at least one of my fam.
