Regarding the window poo poo, someone suggested to me to use lean. There are a ton of places where a bunch of boarded up planks are blocking that shot if you are standing, but if you crouch now you can't see either. Try leaning left or right while standing, it drops your perspective just enough most times.

That's my biggest annoyance in the game. Maybe they've done it intentionally to make people more exposed but drat is it frustrating.

Got in a firefight the other day in first person both shooting through windows but we both just ended up hitting the window debris a whole lot instead.

Within the last week or so pubg has started using way more resources than normal, like 95% cpu and ram spikes and it ends up lagging horribly. Anyone else have this problem?

My biggest complaint about this game is that its unoptimized as all gently caress, unless I'm on Very Low I get huge lag spikes and i usually still get them whenever I'm parachuting in.

gotta start from somewhere. Not even my fav game, dota 2, started out great as esports. TI1 at gamescom like 2011 was almost a disaster in terms of streaming experience.

dota was a an esport before dota2 existed lol

pubg is just not a game that can be an "esport". it's real annoying how every popular multiplayer game now has a competitive scene as a marketing gimmick.

Pubg can be an esport.

All they need is a better spectator mode, the God damned vaulting hurtling and climbing patch, and some patching to the way the sircle works and this could be a really good tournament game.

I do agree that there are a lot of fps games and third person esthetically is superior, but third person gives campers and hiders a big advantage and makes the game a little stale.

I think technically all of PUBG is a second-person narrative, but spectator mode is definitely third person omniscient.

I wonder how many opinions of first person mode will change once you're not playing against bottom of the barrel players, because everyone who cares about ranked is still playing 3PP.

It's installed on my SSD. Intel i5-4670, GTX 1050. My computer isn't AMAZING but that should be enough to play on something higher than very low (and even then, just barely). I found a video on YouTube of a guy playing with the exact same specs and he's running on High with no problems.

That opinion is not strong enough, could you possibly praise it by disparaging another game mode? Maybe insult my intelligence? You get the idea.

G-sync is more of a luxury than a necessity as it just reduces screen tearing and input delay by a marginal amount. Consider a better graphics card and 120hz+ monitor.

I upgraded to a 4k 43" inch TV for a monitor ways back, and won my first solo that night. Just a large display really helps in a game where the amount of pixels on a distant hill that you can pick out can mean winning or losing.

Not gonna make you better but maybe more aware, at desktop viewing distances movement you might have missed or poo poo in the periphery is night and day more apparent.

Just got this, played 4 matches

Survived to top 30 all 4 matches

Killed 1 person in one game
Hit 1 person in another
Sniped every other time to death because I guess I'm bad at spotting people first

Is this how games are gonna go generally? Feel like I'm just wandering randomly most of the time hoping to get the jump on other players so far

I just got this on friend's recommendation (but he ended up not playing tonight so I'm jumping into the waters YOLO)

kinda? your wandering will get less random, you will learn to time how long to loot and when to move, but there's a certain randomness to the game that you can't account for. but pick a style, go hog wild and drop school or base for gunfights, or drop in the boonies and sneak to the circle. get a vehicle. use a sniper rifle. the world is yuor oyster

i agree that fpp is better for solo, as well
