Admit it. You were wrong

About what?
No one ever said this game was going to be a flop. Shit games are always popular.

>>385624886
Just have to wait for yet another early access survival game to knock it down. until then its probably not going anywhere.

Exactly what's that game about?

>>385625170
Killing people, but only if they're not streaming. Killing streamers is against the EULA

>/v/ is wrong about something

WOW

It's so blatantly obvious when viral marketers settle on a pattern. We get it, you were told to go with the "see, it's not fotm!' strategy. You can stop spamming 10 of those threads every single day.

Normie trash of the month

The only reason I bought PUBG is because I had to fill the void OW left behind.

>inb5 casual

>>385624523
DayZ was FOTM for 2 years.
ARMA 2 BR was FOTM for 6 months.
ARMA 3 BR was FOTM for 3 months.
H1Z1 BR was FOTM for almost 2(?) years.
PUBG is just the new FOTM.

>>385624886
fotm doesn't actually mean month, its a figure of speech you retard.

its the same with ark survival
its the same with rust
its the same with whatever dayz tier shit is.

>>385624523
Ironic product evangelism is still product evangelism

>>385625170
It's like if dayz wasn't a broken piece of shit, was actually fun, and had a sense of urgency to it

>>385625581
It's a pretty meaningless term if the games stays popular for many years.

And /v/ just hates anything that isn't weeaboo trash or CS1.6/TF2.

PUBG is GOTY.

I didn't think It would be fotm, but I didn't expect it to became so much more popular than these others

Why do kids feel like they need to be a part of something all the time, so much so that they're bitter for not playing a really popular game? Do you seek acknowledgement for your hobby or something? Just play your obscure games, no worries

/v/ is almost always wrong, I thought this was established?

So fotm means "lasts longer and retains more of its playerbase than 95% of AAA games, as well as 95 percent of /v/ games including Nioh, Nier, GR2, the vietnam game, crash, pretty much everything really"

Got it

>its the same with whatever dayz tier shit is.

Day Z started out incredibly popular in the first month, and then sold less and less and lost players every month.

PUBG is adding players every month and increasing its rate of sales. 1.2 million sold in the last 3 weeks.

/v/ is never right because the community lives inside a bubble, unable to understand how actual human beings think and act.

That's why, for example, /v/ is completely unable to understand why no one likes Nintendo consoles, PC gaming is niche or the PS4 reached 40 million sales.

>>385625905
Perhaps you understand less than you think you do. Perhaps your assumptions about the game were wrong, and perhaps your comparisons to those other games are bad comparisons.

>>385625985
PUBG has outsold 90% of big studio games from the last couple of years. 5.8 million in 4 months.

This isn't true, maybe it is in burgerland but in the uk (good gaming) PCs are the most common platform with people over 18.

>>385627709
It's a very good indicator of what's popular with normies.

Battleground is a containment game. Much like Overwatch.

>>385624523
I admit it. I was wrong.

Coming back to /v/ after 4 years is a bad idea.

Before anything, I don't play the survival games that come out every so couple of years, but doesnt this kind of conversation with every time a new game of the same variety is released?
The game is a meme, will continue to be so until the next game gets released and players enjoy that one more and then say "Oh this will be the best one yet!" as it slowly reaches its death. It's just an endless cycle that will continue on and on. This won't last forever, nor will the one that comes after.

so how much have you donated to your fav pubg streamer, /V/? just over $100 to the absolute based dr disrespect here!

>>385628390
this is reason enough for me to completely ignore this game
the stream sniping bullshit ban was the icing on the cake

Exactly what it sounds like, they were banning people for killing popular streamers. They tried to justify it but their logic was broken.

>game of cutthroat survival and uneasy alliances
>team of 4, escape vehicle might only seat 2-3
>friendly fire and team killing enabled

Nu-Gaymers are fucking precious. You can't make this shit up.

I bought the game because it looked like fun but ran like absolute shit so got a refund. I have no issues with recent AAA games so what the fuck?

>>385628819

>>385625581
>>385625846
the point is that neither of those games are good, despite being FOTM for months or years

they just attract a lot of normies, kiddies and twitchfags like >>385624523 and thus become "successful", but when a normal ( by /v/ standards, not a "normie" ) person with good taste in videogames tries them out, they will reveal themselves as shallow memefests that induce nothing but boredom

It's the same shit as Pokemon GO, people jumping on a bandwagon

>>385630797
He worked on other shitty BR mods, so that warrants his shitty handle on the name.

>>385631031
Somehow I'm getting the impression that a lot of people are jumping on this game because they want to act like they know who this guy is.

>>385631235
Nah. People are jumping on because it's popular. PU is a nobody.

>>385631235
I'm pretty sure most people are jumping on this game because everyone is streaming it 24/7 and they want to be a part of that "game everyone likes".
The game is super fucking optimized with shit servers and many people aren't getting playable frames or latency, yet it still sells like hotcakes

If you like this game, and its popular, good for you.

If you hate this game, why are you so upset that its popular?

>>385628837
accurate post

>>385631652
Because it's pc exclusive is probably the main reason

>>385624523
it was guaranteed to succeed as soon as it became every fucking streamers fucking little darling baby
Battle royals are meh at best but they're a step up from the survival crafting shit people were playing before, I never fucking understood that shit, they were all played as if they needed to be competitive but those kinds of games shine best in cooperative play, makes me wonder why no one fucking gave a real coop survival crafting game a whirl, build it for coop and pve instead of your shitty pvp grind fests that end up in one over sized team dominating a server.

He made the original battle royale mod for Arma, worked on DayZ, and H1Z1. He's pretty much had a hand in all the major battle royale iterations.

EA and/or Activision will announce and release their own "open world" game that will run better while looking better and will be even more watered down and casualized to appeal to the normies even more.

>>385624523
Its already dying. Should be dead in about 3 months. Rooty tooty shoot and scootys don't have long legs outside of counterstrike. Following the additions of paid loot box garbage it will die the same ignoble and deserved death that overwatch is.

In that case it's a meaningless phrase. There is not a single game in history that hasn't lost popularity over time. If you keep expanding the term to apply longer, then it applies to literally every game in history.
