Besides the fact that it is a very well done Battle Royale game with thoughtful, varied level design, an excellent, still expanding selection of guns, and a perfect control scheme and movement feel that strikes a great balance between arcadey and hardcore? What do you want me to say? Sorry millions of people and I have a lot of fun getting thrown into an open world to battle it out against 99 other people? Sorry a decently sized developer finally took a risk on the Battle Royale genre and it is paying off dividends?

>No refutation of it's awful overall bugginess
It is incredibly polished for an Early Access title, and it has only improved since I bought it. I used to get frequent crashing, but that has since been resolved. Trying to jump over geometry can be frustrating, but they're working on a vaulting system and generally have their ear very close to the community.

>generic key-crate cash cow milking
I think this shit is gay, but it has infested every game. Should I stop playing video games on principle now because of it?

>total lack of gameplay depth
You're a retard who hasn't even played the game. Shitty, unorganized squads with bad communication, poor map knowledge and distance calculating, and a weak understanding of advantageous placement get melted real quick.

Nope, but it's Blizzard we are talking about here. Their execs see how big DIGITAL SPORTS are in different games, without understanding WHY they are so big. OW (and Blizzard games in general) are "balanced" around casual play yet they try to shoehorn e-sports into them.

Tf2 is still playable despite having a really low playerbase compared to PUBG and Overatch. Just play the one who's better than the other and don't mind the numbers.

Meme all you want, but I really did stop playing Overwatch because I'm burnt out on competitive shit. I like PUBG because it is more random and whacky. Some skill involved with actual shootouts, but you can die in ways that were out of your control, but I still like that better.
Anyone who says PUBG is actually competitive though is a complete retard. Like I said, it's the main reason I'm playing, because it's not.

Its okay on its own but with friends it really shines. Even just a duo is fun but you can play with up to 3 other people and it's hella crazy then.

Also, considering it's the only decent BR game, it'll last for a bit (but maybe not too long). It's always getting updates and new maps will prolong the lifespan as well. For now, it's nothing but rising.

PUBG is great and all, but I don't think it should or properly can be an eSport. It's not as exciting as CS:GO or LoL, and it's not as strategic as Dota 2 or SC/2. It's just kinda fun while you're playing it. Watching streamers is more for the streamer than the game.

I actually enjoy it, every game is really tense 99% of the time. Oh, and getting kills feels like an accomplishment instead of something that's easy to do.
And although doing all that running is a little tedious, I can still appreciate it, as it makes you get creative in firefights that take place out in the open by forcing you to use all your equipment.
I'd give it an 8.

I'm okay with this. pubg has massive potential, it's a meme to say "every match is unique" but it's true, you're forced into a huge variety of scenarios in every game. Call of Duty looks like a baby toy compared to the possible depth pubg can offer.
Best of all it's on PC and not held hostage by a AAA publisher

Normies like meme games, but they have a small attention span. Doing well at PUBG is more reliant on getting good weapon spawns and nearby circle spawns.

Overwatch has a scene because Blizz puts a lot of money into it.

PUBG would need a fuckload of sponsors, or Valve money, to get a big scene.

It's a bubble that is going to pop, and there's no real way to market is for E-Sports right now due to how the game is structured. It also doesn't help that people found references to Arma 3 and it's engine, and scripts created by The Art of War (TAW) members for weapon and movement functions in PUBG's files recently. Bohemia is going to win big against this thief.

>>387234273
iirc he's referring to when players got banned for killing streamers, and the streamer called it stream sniping, so they just banned the players outright.

They also added honking to cars in an update around that time, so a lot of people actually did start stream 'sniping', but instead of sniping, they just followed the guy honking their horns to harass the guy.

Stream sniping is still a dumb fucking reason to get banned. Devs shouldn't get involved with streamers.

242 hours at the game here, playing since 4/20.
My best piece of advice for playing? Once you've done your early-mid loot, and you are moving more around the map, imagine you were controlling an enemy player and you had spotted yourself. Where would you wait in ambush or approach to kill? Look there for encounters or avoid the places you think of when you move from your spot.

Really? Because H1Z1:KOTH is the version of H1Z1 that Brendan Greene was consulted on for. As in, he was contractually consulted and paid for his input on how to design the H1Z1 KOTH spinoff.
That spin-off went on to sell 6.7M copies.
Just Survive, the version Brendan Greene did not work on, sold 2.8 million copies on Steam after the split.

So tell me, at what point did PlayerUnknown ruin the games he worked on by lowering the number of players?

I'll just continue to ignore it like I've done since its release.

Why would Overwatch ever have a esports scene? Games not even competitive.

So when will Bluehole use their millions from PUBG to invest in actual programmers so the game actually feels like it's running on UE4 instead of Unity?
>>
>>387253319
PUBG doesn't really have a competitive scene yet and I doubt it ever can since it's not geared towards esports, but it's certainly killing CSGO in playerbase / interest. It would probably kill DotA2 as well if they weren't different genres.

H1Z1 is far from dead. In fact the only reason why it took a hit in playerbase is because PUBG came out.

Huh, I thought it was deader than 55k people.

The game just doesn't look that fun to me. If it becomes popular that's great for the people that enjoy it because it means they'll definitely have the people to play it with.

But it just looks very boring.

H1Z1:KOTH still has >150K peak per day, it was the 3rd highest game on Steam after Dota2 and CS:GO until PUBG came along. A heck of a lot more players than Just Survive got/gets. But still a heck of a lot more than any other game released around the same time or in the same genre.

>>387263291
this garbage is exactly what e-sports sponsors want. There's no skill involved, you just need "personalities" and the winners can rotate all the time. Tournaments will never look the same because of how likely it is you'll just get shot in the head from someone you never saw no matter how good at it you are. It's perfect for entertaining brainless children. And the game is meant to be that way so you don't have to ruin it and piss off and drive away the players to get that effect like capcom is doing to street fighter V

A game doesn't need an official ranked competitive mode to be competitive. The game is competitive by default, the entire game is built around beating everyone else. You don't need ranked matchmaking for a game to be competitive, all you need is a competitive game mode and players who take it seriously. Just look at games in the past, like Quake, Dota (the mod), or CS 1.6.

I'd say I want this "it's not competitive meme" to end, but it's actually really helpful for identifying underage casuals.
