Yes Tencent bought publishing rights last year. It's our best hope for region lock

Rolled a three-peat chicken dinner last night on NA TPP with my buddy BCRock and a couple other guys in our regular crew. :feelsgood:

One of our guys had a "Perfect" ranking on his k/d with 428 as his average squad damage. Came really close to 4, but one of our guys gummied out after too many edibles and we got scattered & knocked and ended in third place on the 4th game when we should have gotten it.

This quote from the article:

"The investment comes as Tencent gears up to formally launch global hit game “PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds” in China, after saying last year it would give the game a socialist make-over to meet Chinese rules governing digital content."

What is in pubg that requires a "socialist make over" to be accepted in China? Game is as generic as it gets with zero story or anything that would be considered provocative, or so I thought.

Got my second chicken dinner! :toot:

FPP solo, still haven't won a duo/team despite several of my friends supposedly being aces at this game. I should probably play with goons because they refuse to move from TPP which is a comparatively miserable experience imo.

I would have imagined that the most anti-socialist theme in the game would be the "battle royale" concept itself.

Maybe they'll just remove solo mode, that should make the game about cooperation and that should be palatable to the Party...

I wish there was a way to remove all attachments from a gun instantly. I get killed so often trying to loot corpses because I want the red dot from my current weapon or whatever.

Won my first solo match, yay, though tbh the way the match ended was very unfair to the guy who finished second, he took out the majority of the last 6 but his position was such that his cover was a single rock just at the edge of the circle while I had an entire ridge I could move behind while keeping him in plain sight (TPP, yeah yeah), didn't help him that the only other guy I killed that entire round had an M249 which I used to spray the poo poo out of him when he was forced to run into the open.

I'm still happy though.

You should be, congratulations! I'm not going to judge how you get your chicken dinners.

Myself I just finished second. Lost due to stupidly not paying attention to the kill feed. Thought I was getting shot from two positions, which prompted me to leave for better cover, when actually there was just one guy. Who sprayed me when I moved. Should have medded and peeked him.

I keep getting into tpp games by accident because the UI defaults to it for whatever reason between games. Everyone seems alot worse at actually shooting things in tpp.

or dont whatever








I got roped into a TPP game because I didnt want to drop from the goon team I joined, and I assumed the terrible people I killed were there because of my no MMR in that mode. Never again, mode feels like molasses on top of everything else.

In TPP people seem to get caught in freelook way more, if you try to ADS out of freelook you're gonna have a real bad time

People that play FPP tend to understand you have to let go of freelook first

Not as hard as you'd think. My friends and I once tried playing paintball on our quads and dirt bikes. You couldn't go full speed but it was doable. Quads obviously much easier than the bikes.

Accuracy was utter poo poo though, both because of bouncy one-handed aiming and because the throttles are on the right, meaning we were all shooting left handed. May as well have been firing sawed-off shotguns with how much spread we were getting.

You could spare the use of the left hand pretty easily. Even changing gears without the clutch isn't even all that hard, I've had to do that with a snapped cable once.

Nothing's wrong. Nothing is wrong. Everything is on track.
Could easily just make driving/firing not an option on the bike, too. Its already the quickest to get out of a tight spot; the ability to shoot while driving might be yet another thing for me to hem and haw over while choosing to take a Uaz or Bronco instead of it.

I just recently got into this game (first chicken dinner today!) but I'm wondering if there is a website that has a good idea of what is coming up for PB? I mean, I know that it's not in early access and other than a lot of jankiness it's a pretty complete game, but I'm wondering if this is it, or if there are going to be new additions of some kind, like other guns, vehicles, maps? I sure see a lot of dipshit conjecture from people on the Steam forums and a lot of even worse suggestions. I like the game the way it is, but I wouldn't mind seeing new stuff, too. I just can't find any place that seems to have any real reliable idea of what, if any new things are planned or possibly planned or might ever come.

This is it. An unstable game with desynch issues, bad server pings, and a million accounts a month being banned for hacking.
