PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS

The keyboard thing alone says to me that this was a rush job just to get something out there this year. MS would have pushed for it. I do think it will improve though.

Got my 1st win. I know its only 3 kills but even player unknown himself said the game is about survival. Got this on pc too and prefer the console version, but the way it runs is on the horizon of being smooth on console.

Nicely done I still haven't gotten a chicken dinner I came 7th 6th 4th then 3rd the first three rounds I died to the storm

. Really like the shooting in this game it doesn't feel like thier is any aim assist?

Seems a pretty sure fire way to win is to stay in a car and do circles in the middle. Also get a lot of instances where I’m waiting for someone, get a full on shotgun shot on them and yet they manage to gun me down.

The shotguns in the game are bugged at the moment, I think it’s only the S12k which actually works (so I’ve read), but also from experience this is the only one which seems to lay down the correct damage when I’ve played.

There's a tweet saying as much https://twitter.com/Xbox/status/942441835078631424 however I'm not sure if it's a US only promotion.

Yes that's the one I saw, can't seem to get any decent info if it's region specific, MS store specific etc. I know it's not that expensive anyway but if I can get it free then all the better.

Just had an email from MS with a link in it to https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/sto..._Toolkit_UK_X1X_PUBG_Offer_16-12-17_Hero_Hero

Ordered this just now, so I'll be giving it a bash later on. Looks right up my street, will report back how it plays on the One X.

Dammit, wife ordered me a X1X for xmas from MS a week or so ago. Knew we should have waited lol. Watched my brother playing this and looks fun, heard a lot about it but never really looked into it so might have to pick up a copy. Is cdkeys still cheapest place to get it?

I think it's only about £25 full price, try cdkeys.

£22, not bad.

As broken as this is its still a fun game to play.
Same deal as the PC version which has had ups and downs since early access release.

I just hope it gets better, I have no problems that i have bought this twice.

But anyway, solo seems a bit of a joyless affair really. Loot a building, occasionally kill someone, get killed...Closest I got to the end was top 30. I'm sure it's more fun as a pair or a foursome.

Is there actually any point to BP's? Or are they just used in matchmaking?

I came top 5 but it was all of us in a tiny wooded area literally crawling around the floor not moving. Not the most amazing or exciting end to a game

Is it always like that?

Mull3t · 19 Dec 2017 at 09:41

Update is out, surprisingly the size isn’t far off the base game (4.7gb). Hopefully some good tweaks to the performance!

LzR · 20 Dec 2017 at 11:54

Can now get this in a 1X console bundle for £404 all in, think I'll go for that, looking forward to playing sometime soon
