This launches with Game Preview on Xbox One. It probably doesn't even have to be 100% ready.

Show us on the doll where PUBG touched you
I've gotten third playing solo three games in a row. You can deal with the randomness, just need to know how to play it. Obviously if you play it like CoD you're never going to win a game.
Well, it wasnt me who where overly sensitive to begin with. Just answered the guys couldn't take game getting a bit ifrån critizism.

I don't understand what you think they can do about this
I feel like horribly executed games don't sell 8 million copies in 5 months. Maybe I'm weird like that?
Yeah you're right, it's Perfect! Beautiful game, runs buttery smooth. Real nice physics.

What argument are you trying to make? If you don't like it, thats fine, I don't understand what you're getting at though. You realize there are a lot of people who have made their peace with those concerns, and that this game is also still under active development?
Or will you just repeat the same statement?

It probably wouldn't be a good idea (or fun) to compete against other people using M+KB in this game with a controller.
It's not
It has some weird vehicle physics, but the shooting is top notch
The performance has improved dramatically since March and will only continue to improve
Insane numbers, congratz to them.
i just wish that the movement in this game was different, i hate it! FIrst person the movement feels much better. Few things piss me off though abou tthis game. Running from the fucking gas, it seems as if we die to gas more then to players at times and dying most of the time from such long distances i dont even know where i got shot from. Its like where did you get shot from and everyone is like, no clue! lol

The community and pros have been asking for plenty of things for years (maps, balance changes, 128 tick, mp5 just to name a few), maybe they could do that instead of ignoring them.
Now it's great to see that there's another shooter to play and people are slowly moving to that instead. Maaaaaaaybe Valve will up the effort they put into GO, maybe not. The way it's looking the community will continue to switch to PUBG it seems.
gotta say, first impressions were bad, but after going back to it and giving it another chance (and after they added FPP and optimized it a bit, which certainly helped), I'm starting to really get addictive. It blends the Permadeath that I value in games to add consequence and tension to your actions, with the 'pick up and play' 15-45 minute session lengths of games like dota and csgo.
it still needs a LOTTTTTTTT of improvements and polish but even in it's current state it does the job better than rust or dayz ever did imo

No it wasn't fine. I had an opinion, and very valid critizisms but that was apparently not ok. Whatever. If people have made peace with the shortcomings, thats fine. I'm just surprised a game with such apparent ones gain such popularity. But thats fine. But don't pretend they arent there

Name a better BR game without any "shortcomings"
You could work on your delivery and people would take your arguments and points far more better.

For comparison, Black ops 3 had about 1 million concurrent players on console back in 2016 after a glitch surfaced that showed concurrent numbers.
Well yeah sure. As I said, fun idea... But the end result wasnt that fun for me. Aside tech aspects, there's too much of just walking around and nothing happens, don't like the game mechnics so shooting gets pretty dull.
Sure, you're probably right

Still haven't played it myself but I feel like a seasoned vet from all the streams of it I've watched. This feels like a real sea change moment in the shooter space, similar to what CoD4 did a decade ago.
Your argument seems a bit disjoint. PUBG is apparently a 20 tick game. So implementing 128 tick in CSGO is going to entice the same people who are, according to you, "switching to" a 15 tick game?

I don't know how people couldn't care, the servers are a huge issue IMO, they lag horribly at times, people soak bullets, people jitter all over the place and you even get micro freezing due to the servers. It's really time they put some of the money they've made into improving them.
Your point here being? Do I need to play a BR game, however bad I think it is just because it's the best of it's kind?
Let's just call it your opinion. 8 million people have bought this game, 800k people are playing it, they are not dumber or less concern with their money than you.
This prediction has absolutely no basis in fact, in case anyone is wondering. Nothing has been said about a PS4 version of PUBG at all.
Obviously, since Im one of them. But ok, I'm glad you enjoy it.

You don't need to play anything that you don't want to play.
You also don't need to come into threads and shit them up with garbage, especially when you admittedly don't even play the game you're trashing.
You realize that PUBG is a multiplayer-only game right?

The genre might not be for you then. Battle Royale shooters are pretty rare and only seldomly done well, if ever. PUBG is the first polished enough to appeal to a lot of people. If you want the quality moment to moment FPS experience, why not stick to CSGO or something? CSGO has very little downtime comparatively.

With loot boxes no less!
I bought it, I played it. What is the point of a thread where everybody is just cheering on and agreeing with eachother?
In a bizarre world where the last 5 years hadn't happened and already proven to Valve that they ARE the money train they thought they'd be, as Durante said - PUBG is a multiplayer only game too - it's success would only affirm Valve's feelings

Wouldnt this make valve double down on Multiplayer only games? Unless your playing PUBG for the rich single player experience.

Just when you thought there couldn't be anymore crazy uncles mistakenly buying games.
There's a key thing you did that people took issue with. You called people weird for liking it. There are plenty of people who get away with saying it's not their thing in these threads - mainly because those people say they don't like it without trying to imply others are weird for liking it.

Yeah, I'm not really into games like this, but it's obviously super popular for a reason.

So say your peace and move on? You aren't going to suddenly convince 8 million players that the game sucks, so what's your end game here?
Ah ok! I was just teasing, I didn't mean for anyone to take it seriously

I meant more that them being top dog in MP isn't a guaranteed money-spinner.

Why is this game so popular again? I just don't see it.
Because it's fucking fun as shit despite looking and running like ass.

You know what is a guaranteed money-spinner? Owning the digital storefront that PUBG is sold on. The games is $30, right? That's $9 for every copy sold.
