Why does PUBG run so bad anyways? It looks like dog poo poo on any platform.

Isn't a modded version of ARMA2? Those games are always cantankerous piles of code that end up being system hogs.

PUBG runs at a solid 60fps on my i5-570 PC leet gaming rig and looks just fine, I've put 200+ hours into it and my insane buddy BCRock there has put like 500 hours into it so either we're both complete idiots or there's some sort of, I don't know, 'gameplay' allure that this game provides that Mikkkro$oft is trying to 'trick' users into spending $30 whole dollars on for this big Xmas marketing push they're going with (I have seen zero PUBG marketing on the Xbone)

I mean as janky as it is my Xbros and me are having a blast. Fire fights are so dangerous it ends up being nerve wracking when you get ready to storm a house that you know is filled with dudes.

Kind of the same reason I like R6: Siege. It's intense and dying actually means something.

No, it's on unreal engine. The sad thing is that epic games made a battle Royale mode in fortnight that runs better.

You're not seeing any marketing then. It's a CONSOLE EXCLUSIVE and they're even giving it away free with new Xbonx purchases.

I don't understand why GR Wildlands didn't do Battle Royale, that game looks like a finished version of PUBG.

My brother is visiting from Montana and playing Ghost Recon on my One X this very second. Five minutes ago he turned and said "So why didn't they make this into a battle royale? It already has all the elements."

There must be some player limit on the GR engine. They had to be thinking about it when they did that "meh" pvp mode.

I do make a point of not seeing any marketing, anywhere, ever, so you are probably right about this.

PUBG on PC just got turned into 1.0 and it's massively improved re: smoothness/responsiveness/server quality/graphical quality over the last iteration of the live game (0.7 or something and no new map) as well as on the Test Servers (preview build of 0.9 + new map) from a week ago, so I expect the same level of improvement to happen to the Xbone version with the only limitation being that the Ghetto Bone will look like you have a poo poo-tier video card and the Xbonx version will look like you have a 1070 or 1080.

As for why there's no GR Wildlands Battle Royale it's because Ubi can't figure out how to make a game that isn't Far Creed Garbage Collection and High Point Jumping Off Simulators.

OK I tried it out of morbid curiousity and it's even worse than I could imagine. Not just the graphics/frame rate/lag, I could not even figure out how to equip a gun. The UI is awful. Then I walked for eternity and got shot by the first guy I saw.

Not sure I even want to try a second game.

I've kind of been wondering this myself. From all the stuff I've seen of PUBG I'm kind of surprised no one has taken a game with better bones and just made a superior version. I guess there is fortnite but that game is hideous and doesn't have the cool tactical control scheme of something like GR.

Edit: Nm Sounds like that's actually going to be a thing. Next year is probably going to be the year of Battle royale mode getting added to every open world game until everyone is sick of it.

Tbh I'd be all over dark souls 4 but I'm glad that they are working on something else.

The worst crime dark souls ever committed was that it was so good that people expected it to totally reinvent itself instead of just becoming a normal line of sequels with marginal improvements.

There aren't even that many though, like LotF, The Surge and Nioh are all I can think of (plus a couple that aren't out yet) and two out of those three are good.

By "soulslike" I meant not straight games copying the gameplay mechanics but the actual term usage. People call a game soulslike because it's "hard" or has world exploration. Dead Cells is an example but to me it looks more like a Metroidvania.

Lord's of the fallen is the only bad souls like. The surge has decent ideas, and nioh is an interesting take on the souls formula.

Oh right, we're supposedly getting anime souls in code vein.
