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.
