Meanwhile the survival one hasn't been updated in over a year.
It says so much that such a buggy piece of shit can become so successful just because it's the only decent title in an extremely in-demand genre.
And again to the topic of GAF becoming disconnected with the mainstream "gamerbase", no popular GAF thread for this game.
Not that I say GAF needs to be more mainstream, but it explains why people shouldn't be that shocked that a lot of GAF's favorite games aren't doing as well as they think
Game is super addicting and everyone seems to play it.
H1Z1 is HoTS, Battlegrounds is LoL, Arma Battle Royale is Dota.. or something
Still surprised no big publisher has tried their hands at survival or battle royale games all these years. Let's see how Amazon does with Crucible and New World.
I was comparing them based on how deep/involved the gameplay is. H1Z1 is the most arcadey and ARMA is the most sim-like with Battlegrounds falling in between them.You're assuming Battlegrounds will be better and more popular than H1z1. When that probably won't be the case for a very long time if it ever even gets there. Also, there are barely any hackers in h1z1 because of Daybreaks systematic method.

Battlegrounds is getting an astronomical Twitch following whenever it loads up, so that's a good sign.
Knock knock
Let's see how this plays out.
what is this and where can i buy it?
That's why I tried to say/ask earlier in the thread.
Battleground is in alpha ALREADY better than H1Z1, this is what they say. But The Culling too at the time was considered much better and it ended being a short burst.
I don't know why. The Culling was also better because half the time in H1Z1/Battlegrounds you're killed by a bullet you didn't even think was coming. Just unexpected deaths after 10 minutes of walk.
In The Culling, because of de-emphasis on reliable ranged weapons, you're actually fighting actively and sudden deaths are much less likely. You have a whole lot more control on what is going on (and it's also based on Unreal Engine, so not a complete shit of an engine).
Yet it fizzled in a short time. I have no idea why. Especially I have no idea why H1Z1 went up when on the development side it's almost completely inactive and just enjoying the money.
we know who to thank:
New game from the guy who made the the BR Arma mod and h1z1. Comes out on early access next week (March 23rd specifically)
Always baffled by the popularity of these types of games, particularly on PC. They are never finished and the gameplay looks awful, yet millions buy them and seem to get a lot of play time out of them. Different tastes. *Shrugs*
I feel the same way as you man. I just don't see the appeal of these type of games. I guess the reason I love MMORPGs is the progression system they have, which survival esque games are jump in, die repeat and I find that utterly boring. Different strokes for different folks.
It's different everytime though. It's not like you're playing through the same level of a game over and over.
But you're basically doing the same thing over and over again just on a different map. And once it's done it's done. I guess it's just the lack of a persistent world and progression I don't like. I mean I play sports games a lot and it's basically the same thing; different game every time.
Battlegrounds is getting an astronomical Twitch following whenever it loads up, so that's a good sign.
Won't really know until it's available for purchase on Steam. Right now it's just closed beta weekends.What's that in numbers and how does it compare to KotK?

Is there a gaming community thread for this game? Can't find one
Yes, but almost no one has posted in it since 2015: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=971765
Battlegrounds has better gunplay but it still needs a ton of optimizing. It runs much wore than h1Z1 for me.It's map is also awful but they say a new one is coming whereas H1Z1's awful map is here to stay.
H1Z1 is very fast paced and I think a lot of people like that about it. I would be surprised to see it die off completely when battlegrounds comes out but it will be something to watch.
More like Daybreak is Blizzard and had the WC3 mod DOTA, and now Icefrog (creator of said mod) decided to move on and make his own game (DOTA 2)
This statement is wrong on several levels.
