Well 3 games played on X1... came in 6th, 5th and 4th.. super intense and overall a blast. I wish they had stats in right now and I wish the damn game tracked time in the game hub but outside of those things (I enjoy stats) the game plays well.

I really enjoy watching people use the building tools as the circle gets small.. that is what sets this far apart from that other game.

 

[Crossing Eden]

I killed three damn squads with the scar, a purple sniper rifle, and a grenade launcher, and lost track of time, 10 players left and I died cause I couldn't outrun the circle. :|

 

[Mobius and pet octopus]

Hard to play squads without any form of comms with randoms on PC. Gotta get on discord or another voip to have any sense of strategy.

 

[Retro Edge]

Wtf people posting some high queue numbers. Thirst is real. People gotta be kicking themselves leaving this market free, and epic better spin up servers

Epic better spin up the microtransactions with this thirst.

I hope this will be a big success, I really like it so far.

 

[Crossing Eden]

Someone explain the tiers to me since I was just getting blue semi auto shotguns like candy near the pizza palace. Is it grey--->purple--->blue--->white?

white/grey->blue->purple->gold

I think they have stars now too. If you go into inventory you can see stats per gun, I think the higher rarity is just marginally better damage.

Its Grey->green->blue->purble->orange/gold

Bluehole when they see the success of Fortnite BR on consoles and they realize they can’t release PUBG on PS4 until later next year:

 

[Akainu]

I've only come

Spoiler

giggity

in a good position

Spoiler

HAHA!

when not running into anyone. :|

 

[Jarate]

Maps are way too small, and these servers are horrid

 

[Memnoch]

Now that I'm playing this I'm probably going to pass on pubg when it's released on console. This is scratching the BR itch.
Oh, and this is the first F2P I've really ever got involved with.

 

[Chase17]

Tried to use a grenade launcher to take down someones hut in final 3. Grenade bounced right off the wall back to me and got me lol.

Work in progress and the servers are currently getting slammed.

Seriously, that Xbox limited exclusivity has put Bluehole in one hell of a precarious position.

Is swimming a work in progress?

Spawn away from the pack. Collect and hide. Wait for numbers to dwindle. Run towards the circle.

 

[Drencrom]

Don’t know but they said they’re working on vehicles.

 

[Karu]

Jumping out at the start is offen times dumb if everybody jumps, but the challenge of surving the gauntlet, scrapping for every bit of equipment is kinda thrilling that a serious match can't easily provide on that level of intensity.

 

[Crossing Eden]

Considering the sales of PUBG I'm sure they're fine.

My pubg strat lol

 

[Memnoch]

Any idea on the number of people playing on ps4 right now?

 

[digoutyoursoul]

Ahh man, I'm shit at these type of games, no kills yet after four matches ha ha

Bluehole when they see the success of Fortnite BR on consoles and they realize they can’t release PUBG on PS4 until later next year:

That's one side but I think the bigger issue is the Streisand effect. I'm already seeing YouTube channels and articles calling their PR meltdown 'hypocritical' and 'embarrassing'

They inadvertently made this a bigger deal than it could've been. I dare say we'll see an EA/UBI take on BR sooner on PS4 before PUBG drops

 

[GodParticle]

Does it have any kind of tutorial mode so you can come to grips with the controls/interface?

 

[BennyBlanco]

It's not like they're hurting for sales. Consoles were always gonna be a secondary thing for them.

 

[aember]

Oh my god. 3 matches played, 3 times 1st place.

I'm done for tonight, my heart can't handle it

 

[Mikey Jr.]

I felt so sorry for this poor son of a bitch.

I landed on the roof of a hospital, and immediately got a purple sniper rifle.

Looked around, and this poor bastard was still on his glider floating down. Sniped him out of the air, and killed him.

He didn't even fucking LAND and he's already dead.

I couldn't stop laughing to myself.


Also, can anyone explain to me the mindset of literally jumping out the bus as soon as you can with 50 other people?

yeah i would have never even heard of fortnite had it not blown up into a controversy

They’re definitely not hurting, but they are losing out a huge market by not having PUBG on consoles already. Fortnite BR will most likely have a big effect on PUBG for Xb1 too with it being free and released ahead of it.

This will most likely happen too because of bluehole’s complacency.

 

[TimeEffect]

Had 75 HP but got 2-3 shotted pretty fast by a rifle at a decent distance

How is that possible? Was he scoped?

 

[Darknight]

It's not like they're hurting for sales. Consoles were always gonna be a secondary thing for them.

Ignoring the console leader is a bad idea even for PC developers/games.

I think Bluehole made the wrong deal with MS and Im not saying this as a fanboy or some shit. Like there is a big chance other games will eat its lunch on the bigger PS4 install base.

I'm already psyched to play this with friends and its free. Im sure there are other games that are similar fashion coming while PUBG seems its no where to be seen.

fighting those 50 people is fun, albeit not a very efficient approach

Me either.

 

[CheeseConey]

Won my first game I played today. Accidentally joined squads with auto fill. 3 squadmates died in the first minute, I soloed and won

 

[robertoci]

Anyone wanna try and squad up?

 

[BizzyBum]

How the hell do you use bandages? I had it on my quickslot and tried pressing and holding down the button but nothing happens.

 

[Raide]

On console you pick slot and then right trigger to fire. Same on PC maybe?

 

[TimeEffect]

Hm. Shot a guy 2-3 times with burst rifle. Dude turned around and finished me pretty fast

Would like to see a replay for solo at least

 

[MissCauthon]

are there any discord servers for this so I can find people to play with

 

[TimeEffect]

You cant heal past 75

And u cant move.

Hold down the fire button

Downloading now, gimme all your tips GAF.

Avoid confrontation like everyone else does and camp until you're the last 15 people /s

If you're looting equip your pick axe. It picks up all the items faster.

 

[Maximus P]

Yeah. A kill cam would be nice. I had a guy kill me earlier who appeared to be shooting his sniper at high accuracy while side stepping and building walls.

 

[Backlogger]

Nice, will try it out to see if I like the formula. Been on the fence buying that other game.

 

[Akainu]

The directions you place stuff being locked sucks.

 

[jackissocool]

So many people jumping out of the bus as soon as they can and diving down. Must be carnage at the section under the bus.

I do this even if I'm not going near the bus. You get to the ground faster almost anywhere that way, even if it's far from the bus entry. You don't want to wait until the bus is above your drop spot.

 

[TimeEffect]

Console aim assist is strong.

 

[Jarrod38]

Made the top 3 and damn my heart was pounding and my palms were sweaty.
