People enjoy these braindead games, it's going to do fine until the next literal shit comes along.

Smoke grenades stop rendering at like 20 metres, but you're still visible

Grass stops rendering at like 20 metres but you're still visible

>millions of people never played the superior A3 mod
>streamers shill it to hell and back because they make mad dosh whether they like the game or not
>people are surprised that it keeps doing well

The game might even be good in a year, if the dev doesn't do a Dean Hall and split once he's made his millions.

there are at least 3 threads for this game already up. please stop advertising for it.

For people with standards, popularity is a sign of a shit game.

>a board dedicated to videogames couldn't

HAhAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

too many campers

but sadly due to the nature of the game, thats how its played by 90% of the playerbase

I've lost interest until they fix the horrible desync and hit reg issues. They cry "It's teh unreal engine! We're trying to fix it and we've told Epic and they're working on it."

Epic doesn't work on shit for anyone specifically. The limitations of UE4 and multiplayer games is well known. I thought they had tuned it far enough to be stable with 100 players. I was wrong.

Great concept. Piss poor execution. Frostbite engine does not have these issues, but that would mean dealing with the devil (EA) and shifting the entire code base to a new engine. (Not going to happen.) Building a custom engine would take even longer and is beyond these mediocre devs.

Squandered potential.

Laughing my ass off.
There's ONE company that can make full use of that shitshow, and that's DICE. Every other company forced to use Frostbite has had such a horrific time of it that half the DICE engine team had to go from studio to studio helping them figure out the buggy mess.

Farmville confirmed for game of the decade.

>>384994446
No argument. But, if once the dice team showed you what was what or fixed it for you at least your multiplayer shooter would you know, register hits and maintain sync between clients and the server.

Thirdperson is basically wallhacking, the RNG in this game is beyond retarded, soloq is """decent""" until the point where you reach a area surrounded by houses and hills without having a scope and absolutely broken hitboxes/hitscan (using a shotgun in melee range feels very broken sometimes as example). Trying to play this game "competitive" or to win will just drive you insane, even the biggest nolifes or pros that have an overall playcount of 10k hours + in battle royale games say this shit. Can't wait for the dedicated firstperson servers which are about to be released.

I don't think the relevance of the franchise had much to do with it. You are onto something with mentioning how its only selling point was the nudity, though.

The Arma engine was never meant for BR games where you're looting and shooting, it's maps are really large terrains with static building objects clumped together to alleviate the boring engagement distances with no cover that the other 90% of the map unfortunately provides you with.

This game has retained it's playerbase through corporate practices and not from the actual quality of the product, this is the sad world we live in now. Streamers are given graft to shill games, and raise "community awareness." People are given incentive to play through cash prizes. The product is advertised using large amounts of money that should otherwise have gone into improving the product in a more fair world, amounts of money that dwarf the actual development costs of the product in many cases. 95% of improvement of the product ceases when they are finished with the bare bones game, and they move immediately to a different project for the next cash grab while lying to your face. This is how it works now. The more stupid people that are born and don't get weeded out the more this flies and is effective. Get used to it.

This is the board that ranks Call of Juarez in the top 20 best games. I'm not defending PUBG but /v/ has a plethora of shitty opinions.

I don't understand /v/'s hatred for this game.
It's a neat (if unoriginal) concept with no tacked-on story mode, microtransactions, paid DLC, or pandering

It's purely gameplay, and receives monthly updates with features that people are requesting (the upcoming first-person-only servers, for example)

Is it just because of the normie streamers?

>>384996804
this, third person is fucking gay as fuck. You are supposed to be seeing your enemy, while also showing yourself.

It makes defending much easier than it is to attack. Very unrealistic gameplay, kinda shitty because of that. Would also prefer dedicated first person.

it's because it's popular.

The game has no cinematics, no paid DLC, the gameplay is a good balance between hardcore and casual with actual skill showing a difference and more. It's everything /v/ wants in a video game except it's popular with people so it's somehow bad because of it.

no queue times, easy to pick up, instant gratification, satisfying gameplay, rewarding af to play, tons of tense moments back to back, good devs that improve the game and add content at a good pace, one of the best party games out there imo, massive exposure on twitch

This is a good reason not to buy. However, it's not a good reason to hate on this game in particular.

>>384993851
That's because the plebs here play games because they're too cowardly to live their lives, not because they are genuinely passionate about them. You'll notice it immediately in the types of games they praise.

>effeminate JRPGs
>singleplayer games with sob stories
>multiplayer games you can get by without using a mic
>casual indies with funny drawn characters

etc.

Not too many well adjusted people here who really love video games. When you see someone who clearly craves adventure and the opportunity to demonstrate their bravery, then you know they love video games.

They added first person servers yet? Until that's added the game is fucking horrible, gun play is fine but people that just sit behind a tree in thrid person ruin it.

Is that just because it's so damn popular or is there something in place to make matches start easier? Cause I mean, it seems to me to get together like 50 people or whatever would be a fair challenge down the line if the popularity wanes. And it's not like they can just join mid game.

Start off with nothing, dropped on an island with 99 other people, scavenge for weapons and armor, move to a randomly placed white circle before time is up or you'll die, the circle gets smaller and smaller as more people die so it will end up on a tiny patch of land as the last players are alive. Can play solo, duos, and 3-4 player squads against each other.

>>385004606

>The game is based on previous battle royal mods developed by Brendan "PlayerUnknown" Greene for other games, 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 world decreases in size over a match, directing surviving players into tighter areas and forcing encounters. The last player or team standing wins the round.

>>385004536
You're probably right because /pubgg/ on /vg/ is constantly shit up with teenagers and thirdworlders who beg for someone to buy them the game for $30.

I'm glad the pricetag keeps them out.

what gaem dis?

>>385004606
100 players start in an airplane going across an island. You can jump out whenever you want. The last person (if playing solo) or team (if playing duo/squad) to survive wins. You don't have any gear so you'll have to loot houses to find weapons, armor and healing items. There are vehicles to get around: boats, cars and motorbikes. After five minutes or so, the playable area gets restricted and if you're outside, you take damage. The player area, called the circle, gets smaller over time in intervals until it disappears. Later stage circles deal more damage. There are also care packages parachuting down with better loot (LMG's and extra powerful sniper rifles for example can be found in them for example). Looting them is often a death trap though since most people will see them landing.
There are performance issues and a couple of bugs but the game is also very fun, if you can deal with the third person perspective (first person only servers coming soon) and if you can deal with the RNG aspect.

sounds fun

but it's still a game shilled by twitch streamers

>>384998805
The absolute hate comes from the fact that people from other parts of the internet play it, and most of /v/'s userbase thinks the whole point of being on /v/ is to just say they hate popular stuff.

>>385005064
Sure. It's one of the most fun games I've played in the two decades I've been playing PC games, but it has a lot of flaws. /v/ pretends is the worst thing ever made though.

I really don't get games like this. I always prefer my games to be immersive and provide and opportunity for escapism, but this entirely vanishes for me when there is no meta-mechanics and everything is lost at the end of the match.

I get playing competitive team-based games with friends, but judging from the comments it doesn't seem that battle royal games are really suited for team-play and heavy competition.

Why do people love to play these kind of games?

>>385005064
It's over-represented on Twitch, for sure. Should be in the top ten viewed streams, but not number 2

>>385005387
I like them in a similar way to roguelikes. I like starting with nothing and a spice of RNG to fuck me in the ass. I'll never pretend this shit is competitive, though there are some mechanics to learn when you're engaged in actual firefights.

>>384997889
call of juarez gunslinger is literally the best fps ever made

>>385005387
SInce you can't just respawn, there is a lot at stake making the firefights very intense. I've never had an adrenaline rush like this in other games. And yes, it's not very good for heavy competition but team play is wonderful in PUBG.

>LOL YOU GUYS WERE WRONG ITS THE BEST
Yea so is League of legends, minecraft, call of duty and football managers. If you people were into books like into video games you would probably be reading only the most popular crap because "hey its popular so its good riiight??"..

I like my PvP games to be based on actual 1v1 skill rather than rng loot you're gonna get and maybe randomly getting shot by someone you didn't know was there

>>384996398

Who?

>>385005387
The game lets you play in teams of 4 vs 25 other teams, so there's certainly room for teamwork, in fact it is way more fun than playing solo.

Circle and loot mechanics make the game too RNG-based to ever be truly competitive but if you don't take it too seriously and like Battle Royale style games it's good fun.

You might have an addictive personality then. Liking "progression" more than the actual activity is similar to the gambler's mentality or a pavlov drip.

Would you shoot up heroin if it filled up an EXP bar every time you injected? Every fifth needle is a level up?

>>385006316
>Would you shoot up heroin if it filled up an EXP bar every time you injected? Every fifth needle is a level up?
Who wouldn't?

>>385006316
Not necessarily true, yes people with addictive personalities enjoy these things more than usual, but the feeling of progression/pavlov's drip everyone is susceptible to.

I definitely agree. I have 70 hours in the game right now, 3 solo chicken dinners, 1 duo chicken dinner, and 0 squad chicken dinners. I still have the most fun playing squad because it's so chaotic, even if I'm less likely to win

>>385006571
Addiction is defined as 'activities that interfere with other activities in life,' so if the presence of meta-goals (like EXP or achievements or whatever) is harming your ability to have fun with games that actually end, I think that's unfortunately a bad signal

>>385005387
>Why do people love to play these kind of games?
thrill of the kill

killing someone in another shooter doesn't have the same emotional response generally because people respawn so quickly and game rounds don't last very long.

but a game of PUBG has no respawns, and it can last to about a half hour or so. getting #1 is exhilarating

>>385006767
That's inarguable yeah, but you didn't specify that it was interfering with your enjoyment of other activities

>>385007010

Do you realize that this is a possibility in every shooter out there and that there are ways to minimize the chances i.e. not playing like a retard?

>>385009058
>I have never played arena shooters and do not understand the importance of positional 3d audio
This is just something that is impossible in these open shooters. No amount of "git gud" can fix the broken gameplay.

>>385009302
>positional 3d audio
Use headphones you fucking dumbass. You can very easily detect the direction of other players by sound, you can also pinpoint from where you're being shot at by looking at bullet shots / wounds.

It is for me since everyone is solo. There's a lot of tension when nobody is there to bail you out.
You have also a lot of opportunities to play enemies against each other if you maneuver intelligently and shoot only when you're certain
Bleh, look at some vids and decide for yourself. I think solo and duo are the best modes

>>385009878
yes you fucking casual

i bet it would be hell on 4gb

I've been playing a lot of this game, but it still is one of the clunkiest, low skill shooters i have ever touched. My character moves like he weighs 400 lbs.

>>385006991

>this is my first FPS

Nothing thrilling about two people hearing each other, crouch walking, then shuffling around for 1-2 minutes abusing the camera until someone gets shot or fucks off. The bad thing about no respawns is that generally, most people play like pussies and 50% of the game is waiting.

>>385010540
>t. Someone who plays like a pussy
You literally sound like a guy who after contact sits behind a rock with third person waiting for the other player to just abandon his cover.

You do realize you have stuff like
>frags
>smokes
>trees
>rocks
>bushes
To either force him to move or to move up on him.
Fuck, feign that you retreat but instead take a long flank, dipshit.
Nice of you to complain about others when you play like them yourself

>>385010051
I haven't even been in that situation yet. The chances of someone finding a sniper, a mountain, a spot that is safe in the zone, and will make the first shot a headshot as you're moving around, are very unlikely.

>>385011162
>moving around
Exactly. These people are ones who either crawl on an open area or stay crouched behind a tree completely still after moving a bit.
Then they are shocked that someone takes an easy shot at them

>>385010995

>basic FPS strategy

No, I've never used a smoke nade in my life. I've never used cover either, I'm a blithering idiot who runs into the open. You sound like a 10 year old trying to turn this game into 4-D chess.

>>385009976
Put a child vs someone good in Smash and that child would get molested. But in PUBG? Child has good chance of winning.

>>385011468
Well apparently these things aren't basic for you since you're unable to utilize them.

If people, like you said, play like pussies and just sit behind cover or try to pull back, you always have an advantage unless you're a braindead retard (which you very much appear to be).

I typed that, so you can stop sperging out about how you think I'm playing because nowhere did I type that I was having trouble with campers. Sorry I insulted the first FPS you're half-decent at.

>>385012027
You implied that 50% of the game is waiting.
This is literally false if you drop to a hotzone like Pochinki and hunt people down. Then you take a car and hunt some more people.

Now, if you desire more than 10 kills per round then fuck off, not your game

>>385011780
No I am trying to say that children can be good at games that require no actual training to be good at.
