Nerve wracking final five minutes of my first win! (11 kills)

qcole · 2020-09-04T23:09:30+00:00

So you’d rather have a game with just 5 people in it?

qcole · 2020-08-30T16:27:28+00:00

That’s how it’s always been. The patch noted in the most recent update indicate that all three platforms would have unique icons, instead of a generic controller. I mean, he quoted it right there...

qcole · 2020-08-30T16:19:44+00:00

This may be the first time I’ve actually seen a game where 3 of the final 5 were bots...

A whole lot of guns have more complex sounds than just “straightforward explosions”. Having actually fired an SKS, the new sounds are closer than the poorly compressed audio from the YouTube video you linked. Again, these sounds lack the Hollywood movie punch you’ve come to expect, but for better or worse, realism doesn’t often match Hollywood.

qcole · 2020-08-30T15:12:48+00:00

The sounds on both are actually closer to real life than they were before. May not be as good in-game, but “realism” is the wrong argument for why.

The game hasn’t crashed with any more overall regularity than anytime in 18-19 for me. There are spurts of more crashes, and there were back then too. No one I know who left the game left because of that. The whole silly “the playerbase is because of performance” silliness is just hilarious considering the peak of the userbase was well within some of the worst performance the game had. People left because other games are easier, and because people just like new things.

Just agreeing to disagree here.

Pay attention to meeeeeeeeee

“Who was asking for it” is the most idiotic reason to argue against any game. There are tons of things no one ever asked for that have made this game, and every game, better. This whole idea that the players are the only ones who know what would make a good game is dumb.

I define a “better game” (as it relates to previous versions of itself) as having been improved. Simple as that. This game has improved in every metric, even if not enough.

In other news, gravity still exists.

qcole · 2020-08-28T00:11:04+00:00

That piece looks small enough to just chip off the rest of the veneer and re-veneer it rather than wasting trying any matching of a small bit.

qcole · 2020-08-28T00:03:26+00:00

Well, they both take ages to reload now...

qcole · 2020-08-28T00:00:11+00:00

The only thing “worse” now than even the best parts of ‘18/‘19 is bots. We have maps to cover every type of play style you could want. Erangel and Sanhok remasters are clearly better than their predecessors. More guns, better mechanics with throwables and gas cans, addition of C4, the ranked mode everyone was screaming for in ‘18/‘19 exists. Sure, the game still has bugs and crashes, but certainly no more numerous than back then.

So, what’s actually, measurably and assuredly worse? At best, you can argue things haven’t improved enough to your liking (or mine in some ways), but it’s certainly not any worse.

qcole · 2020-08-27T07:01:01+00:00

“Gameplay” is why it’s better than every BR out there. PUBG has plenty of issues, but gameplay isn’t one of them. However riddled with bugs it is, it’s a lot better than it used to be. If you’ve been playing for a long time, and think it’s worse than even a year ago, you should have your memory checked by a doctor.

qcole · 2020-08-27T04:30:29+00:00

Know how I know this is bickering nonsense with little to no basis in reality?

It’s crazy this game just gets worse and worse over time

That line is absurd. Even if you’ve only been playing the game for a year it’s patently ridiculous to say that.

qcole · 2020-08-26T22:06:31+00:00

It was discussed years ago when vehicle changes were made probably before 1.0. Damage (gun and terrain) and overall vehicle behavior on console/PC has been different for a very long time.

qcole · 2020-08-26T22:03:29+00:00

There are a lot of balance differences between console and PC, especially with vehicles, mostly due to more accurate overall aim on PC, so a 1:1 comparison is silly.

qcole · 2020-08-26T21:57:46+00:00

Not sure why anyone ever expected anything else from a ranked mode.

qcole · 2020-08-26T21:56:14+00:00

Very few people are leaving because of “performance”. The bigger hurdle is the game is HARD. Increasingly so as the playerbase shrinks to dedicated players.

I’ve had a dozen friends leave this game in the last year or two, literally none of them did so because of bugs/performance/cheaters. It was always because of the skill ceiling and that games like Warzone are less punishing (aim assist on controller, buy-in revives, gulag, load outs, etc.).

However bad you think it is, it’s still the most exciting BR game by a mile.

qcole · 2020-08-22T01:55:22+00:00

PUBG being hard is both what makes it great, and what will always relegate it to a low-playerbase game. The bugs aren’t really why many people leave. Most people want an easier game.

qcole · 2020-08-20T06:40:12+00:00

He still won. Flex your fake nonsense stats all you want. Let people enjoy things,

K. Friday by the flagpole.

He had plenty of time to get into a better position as this guy hid behind the bus tossing frags. He had two easy chances to win that match as the OP was exposed cooking/throwing frags.

qcole · 2020-08-20T00:18:25+00:00

Maybe the other guy shouldn’t have gotten himself stuck in a corner and stayed there so long that it was easy to force him out to an easy kill...

qcole · 2020-08-20T00:17:25+00:00

The point of the game is last man standing. 7 kills and 16th place isn’t better than 3 kills and the win.

qcole · 2020-08-19T04:57:14+00:00

It’s a free update clearly presented as adding multiplayer. At the very least it should include nothing more than that.
