ftmN Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Hey all, Couldn't find a thread for this increasingly popular early access game. Please see below. Synopsis: "PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS is a last-man-standing shooter being developed with community feedback. Players must fight to locate weapons and supplies in a massive 8x8 km island to be the lone survivor. This is BATTLE ROYALE". Similar synopsis to other popular games of the same genre, for those unfamiliar with the genre it is essentially 'hunger games', the game. Official website: https://www.playbattlegrounds.com/ Things upcoming/planned for the game: https://ds.reddit.com/r/PUBATTLEGROUNDS/comments/61dux1/playerunknown_dev_stream_notes/ Current patch notes: http://steamcommunity.com/games/578080/announcements/detail/1271550628459839077 Early Access Review: Personally I have played other similar survival games but this one seemed more of the same. After watching hours of youtube/twitch I wasn't motivated to play this at all and I simply didn't understand the appeal of the game. Thankfully I bought it on a whim and have loved every minute since. Discuss! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLASSJAW Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 I play it with one or two friend very regularly, but the game is a buggy, atrocious, resource-hogging mess. I really wish VALVE would just buy this terrible developer out and re-make the game from the bottom like they did with Dota. in the hands of a good developer this would be one of the best multiplayer games ever.

-Stammer- Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 the game is a lot of fun with friends. However, I can see why it's still early access. There is a lot to improve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinky-Winky Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Good game ...its slow paced so dont expect a run and gun style like say h1z1 ....and alot of people camp and snipe, so be ready for that. otherwise, fun game, i play it once or twice a week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks fun it'll get a console release -- they've confirmed it already. but they have so much work to do on the PC version and they're moving at a snail's pace that i doubt the time frame could possibly be known at this point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ftmN Posted May 24, 2017 Author Share Posted May 24, 2017 There's certainly a lot of room to improve the game for sure but they are releasing 1-2 week updates. I'm not sure I agree with the buggy mess statement, I have played 40~ hours the last week and there has rarely been bugs, maybe the occasional laggy server.

I've never played Arma so I'm still learning a lot of the mechanics, but the game is certainly addicting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diesel_3 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 I played H1Z1 hard for a couple months and even bought a couple cool looking outfits from opskins, but I started to get very bored of it very fast, the shooting and aiming was so buggy and inconsistent it would drive me nuts. Seemed to be a lot more fun when playing in parties or groups than solo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyBoy44 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Sweet little hunger games feel. Most definitely getting this when it hits consoles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mervyn Peake Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 This game can be a ton of fun, especially when playing with friends. But man, do I ever suck at aiming whereas everybody else just one shots me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xbox Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 This game is so fun, especially with a buddy. Set a car somewhere near the white area border and ambush those who try and take it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
