Hating a game cuz the title brehs

PUBG tops 7m sold copies and 600k concurrent users
- Thread starter ashecitism
- Start date
Performance is constantly getting better, i wqs running 40-50 fps on ultra few months ago and now i'm consistently over 60. Also they have plqns to release the game in a year i think, or by the end of the year and it looks ike they are going to make it.

Well deserved. Performance is pretty damn good other than some random hiccups. I get around 90-100 on ultra settings (I keep shadows on the lowest for obvious reasons)
Oh trust me I would be the first to throw shade at early access with many titles that I've purchased either not making it out (DayZ) or just straight up being abandoned, but at this current stage I don't see PUBG being struck by either of those two issues.
Outside of vaulting the game is feature complete in the sense of gameplay mechanics. Performance will and continues to be improved so I can't see your argument for it never improving. At this stage those who are throwing shade at the game are doing so without much backing them up, and it comes across as childish. Crates haven't impacted the game negatively like many doomsday echoed and the game continues to grow and expand.
At the end of the day it's your money and you are entitled to your opinions. I've gotten nearly 200 hours out of this game that I spent $30 on so for me it's done it's job and continues to keep me entertained. I'm keen for new weapons and maps but outside of those I'm quite content with the gameplay loop PUBG has to offer.

Have you played it? It's been receiving substantial updates and performance has improved considerably, and I mean considerably. When I first started playing I thought I'd finally need to upgrade my aging PC, but now it's running well at all times.

My manz have you played the game? This game is different from the typical early access garbage. Performance has improved tenfold since it hit EA.
Performance has already gotten way better since launch so why not?
I always thought their microtransaction options would be limited because of scavenge-for-gear nature of the gameplay. Glad to hear they managed to work something out. And also glad to see it isn't some low-key P2W shit because all the vanity gear just makes you an easier target.
So you think Star Citizen will be the best thing ever but you don't believe PUBG will leave alpha? Come on man, you're better than that.

Funniest shit I've seen all week.
It could be faster though. Just let me queue back in right from the kill screen, that would already be nice.
Me, actually. It's a dumb name but we are probably stuck with it.
And I would definitely prefer if it looked better.

Thinks buying more servers can fix a bad patch
It has to be on a console before it can be considered a real game.
7+M on XBO? That it tough prediction as this game is so different from your normal FPS that land on consoles.
That would be a very high attachement rate, I actually doubt it. Though I do believe it will sell well.

Yeh, because no console owner considers World of Warcraft or Dota to be real game. The persecution complex is as annoying as the people shitting on the game needlessly.
Not hard to ignore the idiots, there's an abundance of people in the thread eagerly anticipating the console release. No need to shit on them because one person said the game was bad.

I saw the trailer during E3 like everybody else but i still have no idea what makes this so great. It's obviously very popular now but can someone summarize what makes this game so great and why i should look forward to it?

It will definitely help Xbox One / One X sales, it takes a pretty beefy PC to have it running well.

Yeh I've heard arguments that discount console games from PC fans. The main point was not paying mind to the idiots on either side.
You also, for some reason, chose to ignore the part where I said that people on consoles consider Dota and WoW to be games in general, not that every single person with a console holds that opinion in totality. Not quite sure how you could mistake that.
Depends, I know it needed a beefy PC a few patches ago but the last few patches has significantly improved performance. I pretty much get a constant 80+ fps with a 5+ years old i5 and a 970. Heard people having ok performance on laptops even.

I'm not saying everyone thinks stupid shit like that. I just don't understand why we should take shitposts like those from consolegaf and just not respond and try to correct their wrong assumptions, it's been a constant for years on gaf to get these posters in every PC game thread and it won't stop just because we let them be idiots on their own and let them continue smearing shit all over the place.

Don't watch trailers. Watch streams on twitch. Usually one of the top streamers (minus DrDisrespect) will be good at the game. It's important to watch someone good because they have the best chance of reaching the endgame when it's super tenseI saw the trailer during E3 like everybody else but i still have no idea what makes this so great.

Intense TPS / FPS (you can now queue into one you prefer) game that promotes players skill and tactical thinking in order to survive and (hopefully) be last man standing in 100 player rounds. You jump from the plane without any weapons or armor, land and then dash along your competitors to find some gear and try survive...
Rounds are ~30min in all team sizes (1, 2, 3-4) making it very good game for having just those bite sized sessions if you want.
Trailer they showed in E3 was very bombastic and action packed, but it isn't 100% accurate representation of how matches are even when they can get as hectic as shown in trailer. Game speed and style is somewhere between ArmA and BF/COD games.

I'll do that
thanks! Ok that does sound very interesting then. I'll be watching this.
This is fucking amazing coming from a Star Citizen cheerleader. Well done.
The game needs a lot more work, I'm not denying that. It's still fun as fuck and plenty of people are enjoying the shit out of it as janky as it is and it will only improve.

For a second I thought I was in a mobile game thread there.
Eh. I'm not convinced.
It will probably do well, but I have my doubts about whether the nature of the game will change. As others have noted, this game relies on very long engagement distances, not something that I think works well with controllers. I also have questions as to whether the consoles will cull player models and world objects at closer distances.
The fuck? Pretty much every single thing you wrote here is just wrong. You also show your complete lack of understanding of game development (or any programming for that matter)
LoL, Optimisations is not a switch you just toggle and go "done".
People don't play it on low settings to make it run better, competitive players run games on low settings to see better, that has always been the case and will always be the case. (see quake, UT, CS, Starcraft 2 etc.) Thats irrelevant to any optimisations or system requirements.
The last bit here is 100% subjective so not really much to comment on, except that the environments look great, the lobby is irrelevant but is actually the best example of where their optimisations have had a huge effect on how well the game runs. On launch i would rarely get over 20-30 fps in a full lobby, now i easily get 50-60 and its very playable with 100 people on that island, the only thing not keeping up is network traffic and the sound engine.

The fact that you are getting so upset about people stating things they've seen uttered by console fanboys and your "oh yeah, well I've seen PC GAF say......" really show that you're the one with the persecution complex.The ๖ۜBronx;246328244 said:

Fuck it.
Will find out just how good this game is tonight I guess.
I really do like the concept and it should be a lot more tense and interesting with first person servers.

Your body will literally tense up (constantly) playing this game. It's terrible. And great.

It's cute that you made this post without realizing at some point that it's the single worst post in this entire thread.
You don't know what you're talking about. You hardly even know what PUBG is. You don't know the kind of progress Bluehole has made. You don't know how close this thing actually is to being release-ready. I can glean all of this just from your insistence that PUBG is simply an extension of the 'early access trend' and that it will never be finished despite being brought closer to a finished state, in a shorter amount of time, than any of its contemporaries.
So why on Earth you think you're qualified to offer up your opinion on the matter, when the fact that you don't know what you're talking about is clear to everyone in here who actually does? Go sit at the kiddy table, man.
Haaha, no. Maybe on both PS4 and XBO, combined.

That's discouraging. I'd most likely be playing it solo.

Wow the Pubg threads have gotten extra salty lately.
What's the deal?
The comments about pay to win are extra funny.

Yea I'm a big Star Citizen backer but that's some delusional shit.
Should be available on any server.
EDIT: just checked, it's only available on NA, EU, and AS

The main difference (as I understand it) is in how people are forced to play. In 3rd person, you can comfortably hide behind the corner of a house or a wall and see someone running while they couldn't see you. The advantage goes to you, since you can see them but they can't (possibly) see you.
In first person servers, you can only see what your head sees so in order to see what's beyond a wall that's blocking your vision, you have to move away from said wall. So if you can see someone, they can also see you.
I think first person servers would be more fair whilst encouraging people to move around which keeps a faster pace. So I plan to play first person exclusively.
