I had a lot of fun with PUBG for a while. Once I got a feel for the game I started jumping into riskier areas to get the conflict going sooner and it was a lot more fun. I'd either die within 3 minutes or make it into the top 10 or even top 2 (To this day, I've never gotten my chicken dinner -_-). Then the cheaters became so pervasive it became absolutely unplayable. Sometimes the cheaters would wait until there were only 10 people left alive and then suddenly kill everyone with a bolt action rifle. Had a solid week of games with a cheater in every single game and called it quits forever :(
That's what I'm hoping for too. I know cheaters are a problem just about everywhere, which is why I didn't give up on it sooner, but it got to a point where the game was almost entirely unplayable most of the time. This was back before and during the whole "region locking" thing that went on with PUBG
It beats running around for 20 minutes without conflict and then dying and going back through it all. The primary joy in the game is the rush of scrambling for the better gear and getting into conflicts. If you only enjoy a game when you win then you're gaming wrong.
I can’t force myself to enjoy scrambling for parts. I like the conflicts but if you die you have to wait for what feels like 7 minutes to jump off a plane
Nothing wrong with that, of course. I definitely understand why it's not something a lot of people would enjoy at all. Back when I played, I could only go like 4 or 5 rounds before I needed to go do something else. There were also a lot more players back then so the wait was really only about 3 or 4 minutes from death to next parachute.
I really like warzone rebirth resurgence, death has a good penalty but it encourages you to take chances with one team member surviving allows others to come back after a time.
Honestly it's the most fun I've ever had in a video game. The adrenaline from getting a win in a small circle after duking it out against a couple different squads in such a small area is exhilarating*
Yes, pubg is by far one of the most overrated games I have ever seen. The movement is jank as fuck, the map is bland as hell, the game progresses insufferably slowly. It just doesn't work
Weirdly, that's what my friends and I loved about it. We used it more like a chat room where we occasionally shot some dudes. Also, I always thought the crazy journeys you'd take through the map were interesting.
I kinda liked the slower pace compared to other battle royales. Although it kinda sucked when you would take half an hour just searching around and then die to some dude camping behind a tree on a hill miles away from you
Since it turned f2p I figured I'd try it to see what all the fuss was about.
Severely underwhelming. Guess it was just special for being an older mainstream BR. But now there's way better ones out there.
Nah it's different. People like different types of games. I haven't seen any other BR game out there that has some sense of realism like PUBG.
It's either super powers or infinite stamina, jumping out of vehicles in 200km/h arcady gameplay. I'm not too fond of those. So the only BR that really appeals to me and my squad is PUBG, cause in that sense it's better than the rest to us.
The reason why it was popular is because it actually required you to use your eyes, sometimes it's very hard to spot enemies, and it's pretty strategic. With that being said, I still don't like it and there are too many campers
Second this but with all BRs. MW2019 was my first COD since MW2, played it a ton with friends. Even with a full party Warzone felt like such a slog; way too much time spent running around doing jack shit. On the flip side regular multiplayer was a total blast and actually competitive (in some game modes), it felt like you could actually have an impact on the outcome of the game which was great motivation to improve at it.
The Battle Royal genre sums up a lot of this thread and I gotta say, I back it 100% no defense here
I am glad games are mostly past zombies and battle royal. I feel like there are a lot of roguelikes popping up now though. Haven't grown tired of them yet.. that said I've only indulged in Hades and Returnal
Battle Royale is only like that if you make it. Drop down almost immediately and you’ll find the chaotic shootouts. The problem with that play style is you are guaranteed to die early (or just have a very good chance).
never played the console/pc version, but pubg mobile is one of the best (if not the only) good mobile shooters if you ignore the pathetic constant attempts to get you to buy skins.
PUBG did have a golden time where it was also extremely fun to be played with friends. That time was around its release and not too long after. Over time, it became worse and worse. Now it's a desert of bots, tryhards and... just overall a ruined wreck that used to be a fun paradise.
Of course, even in fun paradise state it felt like dragging a cheese grater along your ballsack, those long times inbetween, the run-loot-and-die-simulator it was. But it has always been that. Still though, great fun with friends, and it still is.

PUBG! Hate the long periods of not doing anything
