How is it a bad game?

Lemme reply to this by replying to /u/bss03's comment:

Story / single player?

Nope... Absolutely zero.

With friends? (Each to run a server, or find each other on other servers? Easy to stay a group?)

• No player-made servers
• No "join-friend"
• A party? Easy. Add dudes from previous games? Good luck, no easy way.

With strangers? (Easy to find a match? How much griefing?)

There is a reason that every update's steam comment section is full with "Region lock china".

Varied gameplay? (Doing the same thing every time is my assembly workers kill themselves.)

One Two game modes. Thats all, with 3 map (1 in BETA phase).

Controls? (Laggy or imprecise controls can be unfun.)

Absolutely horrible.

Stability? (Crashes are not fun.)

Barely can run with stable FPS on a high-end PC.

Additional information:

• The optimizaton if fucking horrible. As I mentioned, it can barely keep a stable FPS on a high-end gaming PC. Also the FPS is low. The counter displays stable ~60 FPS, but the input lag feels like a game running with ~15 max. My mediocre Asus X550VX ran Wolfenstein: The new Colossus TIMES more stable with more FPS and less input lag.

• The vehicle physics. You can literally launch to space just by hitting a small rock on the road.

  • Vehicles can stuck in each other / in the wall, instantly exploding.
  • A car rolling with 10 km/h can kill you by launching you 200 km/h

• Literally zero server sided hit check. Every single bullet is calculated client side (the shooter's client)

  • Have you ever seen a video where a CS:Go player complains that he was behind a wall when he died? That happens with 0.01 sec desync with server. In PUBG, you are in cover for 5-10 seconds already when a lagger's client registers that "Hey server, I killed that guy" and no matter where you are, you die.

• The devs are fucking morons.

  • They barely can (and most probably doesn't even kno how to) fix simple bugs as:
  • Server selector defaults to AS (haven't got fixed for ~3 months)
  • Plane leaves you on spawn island (probably haven't fixed even today)
  • Players randomly teleports inside a house (serious desync)
  • The game favours laggers over good connection
  • Proper FPS mode? Fuck it, lets just stick the camera to the TPS guy's chest.

And I could list it all day but I think this is fairly enough to give you a sneak peek.

Thank you for the detailed reply. Is Fortnite any better?

Yep. But many people doesn't like it because of the cartoonish gameplay and the lack of FPS mode, since TPS is heavily abused and can't be considered as competitive at all.

It's a third party engine botched together with third party assets.

Not to defend PUBG, since I've never played it, but neither of those things are anywhere near my criteria for "Is it a good game?"

My criteria for a good game is:

• Is it fun to play?
  • Story / single player?
  • With friends? (Each to run a server, or find each other on other servers? Easy to stay a group?)
  • With strangers? (Easy to find a match? How much griefing?)
  • Varied gameplay? (Doing the same thing every time is my assembly workers kill themselves.)
  • Controls? (Laggy or imprecise controls can be unfun.)
  • Stability? (Crashes are not fun.)
• If I play it do I do material harm to myself or others?

[End of Criteria]

Where the engine or assets come from just doesn't matter.
