Because:
1.-Everybody can play it, just pick up a gun and press m1 on the baddie
2.- Streamer bait
3.- League of Legends/Overwatch kids are getting tired of their shitty game and lots of them migrated to this since it was the #1 thing on Twitch
4.- You can play it with three other people (Anything is fun with friends rule)
5.- You could say it has a healthy amount of rng
Honestly the game is ok, but the problem is that everybody is so anxious about getting a victory, that they camp inside a bathroom for 30 minutes instead of using their guns.

Its fun, that it, I've never been that thriled by gunplay as much as while playing PUBG, I ,thought it was garbage and I was dead wrong, its perfectly worth the 30€.

The shooting and movement are kinda clunky but they are good enjough, the formula was perfectly nailed and thats all that maters.

its an exciting game due to the rng and random flight patterns with a decent shooting system. not to mention that the devs have been putting a lot of focus on weekly stability updates and monthly content updates so it keeps on getting better.


some of the funniest shit I've heard and seen has happened during altercations with random people, its like 4chan level of shitposting but you get to shoot the faggot who's spouting it

I'm trying to get away from that. Some of the most fun I've had recently is just dropping straight into a hot zone and going at it.

They do move only when they are forced to move because of the circle, but I've seen quite some screenshots of people getting chicken dinners with only 1 kill and around 20 hitpoints of damage.
Now you could debate me and say that's the smart way to play the game, and hey, you would be right, but camping in this game just to get 1 kill and ""win"" the game is something that a lot of people do.
>>
>>382914367
Because normalfags are mentally challenged pieces of shit.

This game is just so fucking bad, LoL tier, you just roam around for 40 minutes picking random shitty items just for ten seconds of "action" (this is usually rappresented by some camper in a bush that you can't even see).

It's one of the worst games every made and you deserve brain cancer for playing it
>>
>>382919659
They will camp till they NEED to move. Even trying to land for quick PVP has people camping corners with third person, the school and military base isn't even fun anymore.

Even in the last fucking circles, if you move first you will probably die to someone who waits till the circle hits his building who will probably not win as a result. He just stopped you from winning.

it helps that i mostly play in duo with 1 friend so people probably camp less

If I play this game solo will I have fun™?
>>
>>382920085
i might be unlucky/lucky then because usually i'm always on the verge of the zone and if you move smartly you can avoid campers pretty well
>>
>>382920152
That's (You), but I'm talking about the grand majority of the game, they would rather camp for 40 minutes and kill someone than landing on a hot zone and getting 8 kills but dying before top 50

>>382920235
Sure, solo is ok, in my opinion, as long as you keep jumping into the actual contested areas, you will always have a little fun.

Cause the result of each match is like the sum of all your skills building up little by little. You are really invested by the time you get to the end and it's short enough that it's not too disappointing when you die, like in DayZ or similar.

>>
>>382921313
Oh god really? I regret saying that. Jumping near some already known area and then running to pick upfirst the shit in it is the apex of skillful gaming.

Then of course, you proceed running around like a retard, picking shit in houses and hoping that you'll see the enemy before hee sees you, because it's the only things that determines who will live and who will die.

>>382922551
You're an idiot. Emergent scenario variation from online systems =/= RNG, at least, not the type of RNG that we normally refer to and should complain about in games. And that's bullshit about being the only thing to determine who kills who, I've had people shoot at me from behind and I've killed them. There's still aim skill, positioning, and knowing how to use the environment to your advantage.

Like all shooters aiming will help a lot but it's not a twitch shooter.

Having a good position can pretty much win the game. I think the devs are posturing to remove the RNG of end game circles soon so hopefully they fix that so people who don't play the game have that shit talking point which they use to talk over people
>>
>>382922551
I mean that's just like your opinion man. I find the game a really fun arcadey tactical shooter. It's fun planning routes that give you the most cover and engaging in firefights. And the drop engagements become a little better when you know the regular weapon drop locations. Sieging buildings kind of sucks though.

Yes, but it's a huge map. I've played about 45 rounds and I'm still finding new structures and areas on it regularly.

My question is, why is it so much more popular than H1Z1 when it seems to have literally no advantage other than being double the price?
>>
>>382924312
It's unlike those games because it doesn't have crafting and hunger shit. It's more like a 100 player free for all deathmatch, one life elimination mode, king of the hill all-in-one. And it's fucking fun.
>>
>>382924558
Well I don't really expect you to believe me but I played a lot of Quake when I was young and I got global elite in CSGO. Also was in top 1% in Overwatch in season 1 but I got bored of that game really quick because it was such a simple game.

I think the game has a lot of interesting macro decisions. I compare it to poker because sure the most skilled player may not win sometimes and the lowest skilled player might win because they got 1 kill at the end by hiding in the bush and the circle rng blessed them. But the highest skilled player makes really good decisions and have high win rates and kdr because of that.

But sure please tell me how this game is low skill

>>382920283
There are two effective strats for not getting fucked by campers.
1. Find yourself a house and hope the zone stays on you for a fuck ass long time.
2. Always move along the blue line, so that the likelyhood of people coming at you from behind is lower.

When push comes to shove, positioning is the end all and be all of the last few gunfights. If the zone fucks you over, there isn't much you can do if the enemy is half confident.

Except it costs twice as much

H1Z1 is still fun if you have friends by the way. And most of the time it seems to be on sale or some shit - I believe it's half price right now. They improved matchmaking by a fucking shitton, they're actually releasing good updates semi-regularly now, and the game is still surprisingly alive, so there's literally no reason to get PUBG instead.

Heck, I just sold a random shotgun I got from a free crate for $18 and recouped the cost of the game just from that (although I'll admit that's probably not going to happen to everyone, to put it mildly).

90% of best selling games on steam are fucking trash, anon. Just because it sold well with autistic streamers and normies doesn't make it good. The only reason it isn't dead yet is because it hasn't been replaced with something else, H1Z1 was once at the top of it's game and it's been replaced by PUBG, even though they're fundamentally the exact same game.

Every game of PUBG is exactly the same, collect shit for 20 minutes, get shot and die OR shoot some asshole in the back and collect their shit. For 40 minutes until you win. Also wall peaking. Wall peaking forever.

They already have wall hacks out for this shit so the game is pretty much over anyway. Hope you early access fags had fun cause that's over now.

Bro, we know that between just the two of us, a majority of the games we play has TDM or DM to some extent. Battle royale is just DM with no respawn. I've played this before. I've played it a hundred times. The only new thing PUBG has is a shrinking arena, which is just not interesting enough. But hey, pretend that battle royale is some new genre. Be a tasteless casual.

I'm 100% the reasons why people are mad at this game are as follows
1. Not on console (yet)
2. Not a JRPG so those autist have to trash it
3. Popular so people who joined /v/ in 2015 think they have to hate it
4. On PC. You think this would be covered by the not on console point but honestly PC takes the most amount of shitposting. It gets slammed by all console fanbases and then grocknar PC fats will shitpost anything that's not Dwarf Fortress.

GTAIV was a mistake. Look, kid, I know its hard to believe but people play Rockstar games for the gameplay first and music second. I want to assume IV changed that outlook but the point stands that genres build up on one another. You can't go back to playing GTAIII without having to accept that its more generic. PUBG has almost no new elements.

Facts. Same reason Overwatch is popular. It panders to the lowest common denominator.

high skill ceiling = better gameplay/more fun

The LCD doesn't want games to be harder because it will make them feel even more like shit so studios pander the "pickup & play" strategy.
Main reason why games like Overwatch reward players for sneezing with gold medals. The illusion of being "pro".

I'm not going to write out entirely what I want but here's just the first two. So first thing's first. I don't care if you can run it. The game is optimized like shit. Even after the patch. I think the game utilizes more of the CPU than anything so that would probably have to explain the stuttering. Secondly, I'd like some movement options. The standard run of the mill walk, run, prone, climb a ladder, and drive is just so traditionally conservative in this day and age that I have to wonder what is bringing people back. Given the scale of the map, I'd sure like some of the shit I saw in Phantom Pain, such as rolling on the side or sliding down off curved ledges. Wouldn't hurt to add to the climbing mechanic if you're gonna have vaulting. I don't see why you have to have so little options when it comes to moving. I'm not asking for a grappling hook, I just want some interesting options here. Its actually pretty neat you can speed up while you're crouching. I always appreciate that kind of stuff.

That's it for now. I've played plenty enough TPS games with movement options that playing PUBG feels like a chore. I don't care if I don't respawn. I can just play Counter-Strike for that same thrill. I don't care if the arena gets smaller, I can play Battlerite for that. After playing Vanquish, Titanfall 2, and other fast games, its just too damn much for me to play PUBG seriously. Its even harder when people parade it as GOTY when it clearly isn't. I don't care if you're playing it three months in. It doesn't do anything new. It doesn't even have original content. Its boring.

Because of muh individuality tacticool FPS wankery. People don't like getting straight outskilled so they pull out terms like positioning, audio, camoflauge, tactical camping because shuffling around a series of houses for 3 minutes because you heard a noise and the other guy heard a noise, and now you're crouch walking around a house abusing the third person camera until one of you spots the other. Then they get a <1 second TTK and go wow my adrenaline xd because its super tense right before they get popped off by a guy who's been camping in a house in the center of the blue zone who's probably watching netflix while having one earphone to listen to doors opening.

Really the only reason the game had such a boom in popularity is because H1z1 shit the bed and everybody loves customization. Attachments, body armor, less cars, no bleeding. It's a straightforward pew pew game, without the ball dripping stress of ranked play without a huge wall to get over to get into it. You play, you die in 3 minutes punching a dude or you get top 20 and most people feel "good" about the gold star of you tried.
