If it wasn't for Nick28T I probably wouldnt have bought it. But its fun as hell, even more so with a group.

Hahaha, did you see how MALF pwn'd those noobs with his shotty in the new video?

>>377016754

>What separated it from previous battle royale titles?

Playability, mainly.

It has a functional map system, better gunplay and a rapid turnover between rounds that makes the game addictive.

The game is a perfectly paced set of gambles. You gamble where you airdrop in, you gamble what guns and upgrades you find, you gamble where the circle hits multiple times in a match.

You also gamble on whether to take a vehicle and risk being heard or slog on foot and risk being caught in the blue. You gamble on whether to fight that full squad that hasn't seen you or let them pass and hope they get weakened by someone else.

It feels rewarding when these gambles pay off, which can become addictive and make you want to play more.

>>377017958
MOBAs have existed for over a decade, it's hardly the same as the 15 different "survival" genres.

>>377016754
I think it's just seperation from any other game.

ARMA 3 battleroyale is great, but a lot of people have no interest in milsim and those aspects that would creep into it.

H1Z1 was just a trash game that was ultra casual and was just taking the shitty leftovers of Just Survive and making KOTK

PUBG is the battle royale on it's own with no supporting game to get in the way.

I got the chicken dinner like 8th game and now I feel like I can't get past the high 20s. I feel like this game is 40% luck, 40% patience, 10% map knowledge, 5% reaction time, 5% aim.

I'm not a fan of the genre, but the fact that we've now had half a decade of similar games all selling millions of copies is a pretty clear indicator that it's got nothing to do with right time or luck, and they sure as fuck haven't been flops.

PUBG is just another name in a list of flavor of the month garbage that pops up and proliferates. A few years ago it was Rust, then H1Z1, then ARK, then that hunger games ripoff one, now this.

Riding the FOTM train, getting picked up by notable twitch streamers and youtubers outside of the usual players of the genre (ie. lirik, summit, etc). So its getting into the eyes of the more mainstream audience. And when your favorite youtuber/twitcher streamer is playing it, you're certainly going to jump on board.

The game itself does nothing special. At most it provides a nice new/fresh map to play on (for those who play other BR games).

The dude who invented the battle royale "mods" for other games like Arma and H1Z1 is making it, but its an actual GAME now built from the ground up instead of a FUCKING MOD like all the others.

So because of that, and the fact that its on an actually good engine, Unreal 4, it is actually the first one of these games of any quality. I always laughed at battle royale games and didnt understand the hype. But this one is the first good one at all in my opinion.

There are no in-game microtransactions. There are no keys you buy, no way to use mommy's credit card. The only thing going on there is that you can put the clothing you unlock in-game by playing on the steam marketplace if you want to trade it away for a few cents.

You're a moron.

nope. that was a rumor that people with shit reading comprehension made up. clothing adds nothing. you can easily and quickly test this yourself in game.

Those aren't microtransactions. Players have to find and then choose to sell those items through a third party service. Microtransactions are when the game sells shit directly.

Yes, that's right. That does fit the definition of "microtransaction".
>>377024698

Not quite. You pay money to obtain items for a video game that you already own. Just because it doesn't use in-game menus doesn't mean it's not a microtransaction.
>>377024771
I could go into a lot of detail, but I'll keep it short for now. The addition of microtransactions is a waste of time of the devs, that could be better spent improving the game, and forcing players to have to pay to earn certain items in a game is, in my opinion, a bad business practice.

Items that give capacity have "+x capacity" whereas clothing items have "x capacity".

I assume this was the amount of space a clothing item would take up if it could be placed in your inventory, but at the moment they can only go straight onto your character.

>>377025926
not to mention the fact that the items can be found in game for free.

>>377025385
>Just because it doesn't use in-game menus doesn't mean it's not a microtransaction.

But it does though. The developer in this case is not the retailer or store front.

Also trading cards have nothing to do with the game they represent, if you wanted to argue trading cards are microtransactions you should've argued that Steam itself has microtransactions which is true even outside of trading cards.

>>377025385
>The addition of microtransactions is a waste of time of the devs, that could be better spent improving the game
perhaps, though thats usually a different part of the dev team. its not like they force some programmers to work on micro transaction bullshit, instead of much needed code.

>and forcing players to have to pay to earn certain items in a game is, in my opinion, a bad business practice.
every item on the market place you can get in a loot box thing. though once the game is DONE and officially released, i think they do plan to make exclusive clothes you do have to pay for. but, again, its purely cosmetic so I dont give a fuck.

The devs made the game, and the microtransactions along with it. Player unknown himself isn't the one selling them on the community market, certainly, but they are a feature of the game.

The rifle nerfs made the game much less fun
>can't even shoot the 416 for two seconds before your all over the place

Microtransactions means the dev offers accessories for money that goes straight into their pockets. But that's not the case, they give you free equips which you can then sell for real money on the steam market. That's actually amazing, I've already sold 5 euros worth of shit, meaning my purchase of the game is already 5 euros less.

>>377027786
It's streamer-bait, the moment a new one appears, this one will die.
I remember when people like you unironically said Slender or Pokemon Go weren't fads and that they were here to stay.
Good times.
Fortunately, all cancer dies.

>>377027257
So this is actually my biggest complaint with the game. I love it, it's fun, but holy fuck this game is played as straight-laced as possible and it's just aesthetically so fucking boring.

I'm not asking for gearbox-tier writing that focuses on making it as WACKY as possible, but just give me a little bit of extra flavor that makes it more interesting than literally just looking like Arma.

Cobbled-together low tier armor made from scrap, more specialized weapons like flamethrowers or bear traps, flare guns, car radios and horns, that sort of thing. Shit that makes the game have more personality. It's just so soulless right now. "Rifle. Pistol. Military helmet and armor." is fine, but not when that's literally all you have.

How can an early access game be THIS good?

The Culling, which died because on paper melee fighting online sounds good but you forget the world exists with lag, desync, and imbalances.

I mean how the items are procured into the market but my point still stands. I don't know how to else to explain to you that you're wrong. The devs are detached from any handling of items in the market, those are not microstransactions. It's just an open marketplace.

Sorry dude, I don't like it either way but call it was it is.

>>377027960
No shit, the creative director of pubg is some neet with an edgy internet persona who modded arma 3 for a living. But yeah it'd be great if there was a wackier option for doing the things you've described, to make it more survival based and hilarious rather than the tryhard game that it is.

>>377016754
Looks decent, I'm just hesitant about the pricetag. The game reminds me of Metal Gear Online II's SDM mode, and that's a good thing.

>>377026854

2 million copies sold and one of the largest player bases on steam? Yeah I think so.

If you and all your "classy gentlemen of distinct taste" friends (0) don't like it, well that really just doesn't matter.

You could say that about every game released in the past decade apart from a handful of titles.
TORtanic mentality is garbage.

>>377028648
Woah, sounds like all those FOTM games that died the moment streamers got bored of it, but yes anon, THIS time, this unique time, it's going to be different, for once.
I seriously adore all the people like you, I remember all of you saying Pokemon Go wasn't a fad and that it was something different.
I'll be here the moment the next youtuber-bait comes out and have all the newfags who eat this up say that THAT game is different.

>>377028987
Except the TORtanic mentality applies to all streamer-baits.

This is another big complaint of mine, again from someone who really enjoys the game.

The map is pretty huge, but you end up going through the same 20 or so copy pasted buildings every single time. I'd really love to see some more maps, maybe even smaller ones that are used for shorter 25-player matches.

Or a fuckhuge one with a much longer timer, giving players focus on hunting each other instead of rushing to the safe point.

>>377028270
It's where the term Battle Royale comes from you fucking dingus. Go watch the movie and educate yourself before you make retarded posts again.

>>377029049
Well dota was a fad until lol came out from out of nowhere. Even today lol is a massive behemoth and everything else got swept under the rug.

The only competition pubg has is h1z1 which hasnt been updated in years and has shit developers.

Look at steam stats, pubg is closing in on cs go.

>>377028648
The writing is on the wall guy
early access flavor of the month, it's playerbase gains have peaked and from the amount of effort (zero) put into the game it's an easy call that the developers are going to release a fig leaf patch to say it's no longer early access before they cut losses and run into the development of the next game

Any smarmy response does not matter this game is going to die within 2 months and some other flavor of the month shit that attracts the cod and streamer playerbase will supplant it

>>377028938
>>377029209


It's an early access game you morons. The devs are already working on two new maps. One is desert themed, the other jungle.

>>377029698
That's sick as fuck to hear, thank you for this information.

>>377029646
They did a charity competition with twitch streamers. The game had 300k viewers. Thats more than lol during regional and international competitions.

This could easily become the next esport.

>FOTM means the game will have popularity for exactly 30 days after which its community will completely and instantly dissipate

>>377029845
You are delusional, stream watchers and players are fickle they will get bored of this game before the end of summer. Citing a one-time "record-breaking" stream milestone is grasping at straws for evidence that the game won't go the way of all the other early access flavor of the month stuff, which it will

come watch me on twitch

>>377029845
Absolutely adorable.
Using the exact same arguments people gave to explain how Pokemon Go and Slender were not FOTM.

>>377030127
The difference is that the developers for pubg are seasoned veterans who have actually released other games (mainly mmos like tera).

They aren't your typical indie shit basement devs that give up on games after a few months of shitty updates.

Thats why I trust pubg will actually become a full and successful game.

Yes, anons, THIS time, it's going to be different, I mean, we have this guy who made a bunch of mods.

>>377029207
Makes sense to me. It's effectively a TPS, but you're shooting people who are playing in first person.

>>377030801
Stop calseflagging, consolecuck.

>>377030801
it's really not that good
weapon selection is shit
game looks like shit
copy pasted buildings everywhere
>>377030801
gigantic map that is barely used since you're sprinting through to the safe zone 80% of every game
it's flavor of the month and will follow the typical fotm life cycle

Once again /v/ fights for 300 posts with a guy who has taken the success of a game he irrationally hates as a personal insult.

>>377031304
Works fine for me :^)

Wish the game would drop to $15 or so. Looks fun but it doesn't have enough content for $30.

IT
IS
THE
GOTY

$30 for an early access game with a single play mode is a little steep imo

most intense coop experience I had in years

>>377029209
>giving players focus on hunting each other instead of rushing to the safe point.

this. the map is the biggest enemy in the game. more players get killed by being out of bounds than being shot by other players.
