PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS - Thread

Half life is first person and a good game, but you can't compare half life to GTA.

When people can't look out side the box they really shouldn't comment, I don't care if you agree or disagree with my assumption of what the game reminds me off, I'm still allowed my own thoughts on it.
Of course you're allowed your opinion and thoughts on the game. But they are clearly wrong and you aren't prepared to accept that. When your opinion is incorrect to continue to assert it is is borderline idiotic.
 
What makes a game "serious" these days? :confused:

Regardless the only things it takes from GTA is the movement and that it has guns and a couple of cars. Other than that there's no comparison.

Movement or actions as I put it is what I said in the first place, you can't deny those games that do, look somewhat like GTA in a way, they don't all have to have criminal activities involved, it's just a preference to style.


The division is a serious game with how it's been designed to play, it's not about running around like an idiot or going on rampages because you can.

My opinions and thoughts are only wrong by you and some others, doesn't make me incorrect in any way, I don't agree with your response to what I've been typing or any other comments not related to me, but it is what it is and it doesn't effect me so I don't care.

I'm always prepared to be wrong and know when I am, but it's you people who question that need to be prepared for people who are not programmed it the same opinion but think you are right still.

The style is there but I wouldn't go as far as to say it was a knock off. The majority of it is nothing like GTA but seeing the trailer I can see why one would assume that. I imagine the trailer was done to show how fun the game is rather than what the game really is. Basically a ubisoft trailer but for a change (at least IMO) the game is better than what is shown.

To be fair this game is like that as well. You can run around on a rampage but you'll get downed quickly probably won't make a single kill. It's more in line with tactics should I shoot or not, should I wait for them to leave or rush the building first, push behind them to get higher ground. There's a lot of luck in it too but that's mainly down to ****** servers.

(used wrong term sorry)

What the actuall? You really just can't accept you're wrong can you? This game is nothing at all like GTA. Therefore your opinion that it looks like a GTA clone is wrong. What part of that do you not understand?
Seriously dude lay off what ever your smoking/drinking/inhaling. You've gone from appearing silly to appearing like a total asshat.
 
I haven't read the rest myself to compare ha, but I watched a few seconds of the trailer and just reminded me of GTA with how it looks and actions

It does if you watch just a few seconds of the trailer but really its quite a different genre. If you only watch a few moments of a video though I will grant you that it does seem similar to GTA, but thats a little like watching 30 secs of Guardians of the Galaxy and 30 secs of Alien and saying that they look similar as they are both in space with aliens and explosions, or reading 4 pages of Harry Potter and 4 pages of A Tale of Two Cities and saying that they are similar. If you are basing it just on that 1 video then yes, it does seem similar to GTA, if you are basing it on the games features en masse, then no its not similar to GTA.
 
Decided to buy it. 3 hours later...

It's good fun. It can be a little boring at times, not seeing anyone for 25 minutes and then, bam, dead from who knows where. I did make it to the final 7 during one run. One of the final points was a frikkin cornfield. Queue me reinacting an episode of Banshee crawling through it trying to not get shot. If anything, I think I'd like there to be more players (if that's possible).

Its much more fun in duo / squad
 
From a mod on the official forum in response to a thread about server performance, especially on EU -

The server performance is often absolutely awful and can lead to a terrible game experience a lot of the time.

These problems seem to vary per reigion, I'm not sure why but the devs are looking into it.

The server hardware is good, it's high quality and the service used is AWS (Amazon Web Services).

Unfortunately due to several factors, the most contributing factor according to the developers being a core bug in the Unreal engine code which causes the game server(s) to believe its being DDOS'd. This leads to the server dropping large amounts of packets, performance becomes terrible.

This is a known issue, the developers have been looking into it non-stop for the last month or so since it originally surfaced. They've made Unreal aware of the bug and the PUBG are continuing to investigate ways to fix the server performance issues directly related to this bug, as well as deploy further optimisations to game code to help server performance.

You've got every right to discuss this issue on the forums, I'm glad you do and I hope you continue to but I ask respectfully for you to please treat others with respect whilst doing so - including forum users, staff and the PUBG team.

We're all facing the same issue and it sucks for all of us. None of us want a game plagued by poor performance and if it was as easy as upgrading servers, I can assure you that would have been done but unfortunately that isn't a solution to this particular problem.

PUBG are actively hiring more staff, including developers and I believe network engineers. They've just acquired more than a dozen new staff members who will join them in Seoul, Korea and are still looking for new talent suitable to join the team.

TLDR:

I don't want to silence you, but I do want you to post in a respectful manner and understand that these problems relating to the games network performance are real.

They're awful, they're not being understated and they are acknowledged by the developers and they're actively working on sorting out these potentially game breaking performance issues.
 
Having racked up a significant number of hours playing ARMA 2/3 Wasteland .... I've had 7 chicken dinners as a duo/squad since getting it almost 2 weeks ago ..... but closest solo is 2nd :D
 
Almost had my first chicken dinner as duo yesterday but my friend 'Died from falling' when he was moving to cover for me to revive. I ended up 1v2 and almost clinched it - was a little gutted by that tbh.

Otherwise I think my friend (new to the game) relies too much on cars given how much noise they make but it could be me that's got the balance wrong and am not making the most of looting time :)

LAG SWITCHES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMFG...... I ********* thought something was going on, the dirty slimy, scruffy, window licking wet wipes scum bags!!!!!!!!!! Agrrrrrr, quite a few times I've been screaming at my PC when I've dropped to 3 frames a second when in CQB!

Also that flash bang, thank god for that, its a super flash bang, doesn't even have to flash me to drop me to 3fps!

Nice update, what a dev team!
