PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS - Thread

I played it for a few hours then gave up, thought I’d give it a few months to smoothen out a bit so here I am nearly a year later to see

you would have thought with the popularity the devs would surely be making enough to make it more fluid

It's vastly better than it used to be and heaps better than it is on Xbox that's for sure. I've only really properly been playing it for the last 6-8 months on PC and even with lots of annoying deaths / a couple of odd bugs it's still one of the most fun games to play imo. I play a mix of squad and solo games, solo being FPP and squad being FPP/TPP and find both just as entertaining to play.
I stream most of my PUBG exploits just because I can really, I'm not great but I get CDs every few weeks which is nice.

Some matches I just like to be an idiot...

If you've not seen it, this is a great little website to see if you've killed/been killed by someone streaming their gameplay (it includes custom games): https://beta.pubg.report
Also this site (which is probably listed earlier in the thread) is great for looking back on a top-down version of CDs/games past: https://minmax.gg/chickendinner

The link to view other streamers is amazing!! Didn't know about these, thanks for sharing. Will post a follow on your stream later today if you're on.

Or lose them....

Fruity is a nice word to use at this point

True, I've just slowly been building my Twitch stuff over the past ~90 days due to a slight technical issue I had with YouTube which saw me unable to stream for 90 days...and I'm finding Twitch to be a much better platform for it, should really have started with it in the first place.

I'll likely be on for a couple hours tonight too yeah, probably will be PUBG but I also have some other games I need/want to play so want to mix things up a bit and not play just PUBG all the time.

Oh you took that wrong way entirely

Why people want to watch other people play video games is a concept that is way beyond me though.

I won't watch streams but happy to watch highlights or trimmed gameplay. No different to wasting time watching sports on TV imo, it's beyond me how people can do that.

SPG · 7 Jan 2019 at 13:33

TV is made for watching.

Games are for playing.

People watch sport for the mistakes

Cant beat a good Moto GP crash.

InvaderGIR · 7 Jan 2019 at 13:35

I tend to have streams on as background content when I'm doing something else more than sitting down and watching 8 hours on someone else play a game. It's also helped me improve my play style to actually get wins and enjoy the game more as I pick up things from the guys that stream for a living, I only watch the more chilled ones though, not a fan of the like sof Shroud etc.

Just being flippant, I can see your point.

~>Dg<~ · 7 Jan 2019 at 14:21

with tv generally so poor to watch many people watch what they enjoy instead. which is games. also when you factor in more people play and spend money on games combined than music and film then its not rocket science to see why streams gaming is so popular to watch.

Is it me or has this new map made you worse

? I am either losing gun fights or taking much longer than before that I really should be winning. Fun map though.

InvaderGIR · 7 Jan 2019 at 14:56

Add to that the co

I keep being melted by the UMP and haven't really used the G36C much / enough to get used to it but other than that, nahh, I'm just as bad as I was prior to Vikendi.

UMP is my favourite

fairly easy / quick to fully kit it out

what it is you have to play it differently and it lends to better tactics aim. thats why many wont do as good on vikendi over say sanhok. if you play squads on vikendi you need to be sharper move earlier. be generally more aware. won numerous games on it but people who are mediocre get shown up on it very easily. also the ranking is working now.

I am yet to win a solo but got a lot better on duo with Sanhok. But yeah I think we got a little too complacent/minimal improvement. A definite kick up the *** was needed clearly
