actually it was u randomly moving people in the middle of games and coming into random channels to tell people about ur pathetic cell phone job/life while theyre in a gunfight and actively telling u to gently caress off

Origin was down for a few hours yesterday so I got this to play with my usual duo (who has played PUBG before) instead of Apex for the day.
We tried Blackout first as that is the game we played before Apex. For some reason they removed duos and there is only a quads game mode with cars now??

My first game of PUBG we played on the original map. I asked to drop somewhere a bit more remote to get a handle on things like looting, attachments and general movement. All of the momentum you keep makes the game feel like skating in molasses, entirely different to Apex but I don't mind. We stuck around for a bit too long and got clipped by the first circle. No big deal, I get energy drinks explained to me. We were moving on foot and circles didnt favor us. We died after 25 minutes without seeing anyone. I guess this is the typical first game experience.

We then played a few more games on the original map and the jungle asian map. Killed a few people every game, domed a couple of guys with a kar but mostly we got ambushed during travel. It is hard to pinpoint where you are getting shot from and also not dying at the same time, not to mention killing the person shooting you.

In our last game we died pushing a team that was camping in a building a few minutes after drop. I got wrecked while vaulting through a window which takes about 10 years. Seems like a nice change of pace from Apex for a bit. I like Apex because of how much action you get. I am used to just running towards gunfire and pushing people because I know I can most likely beat them. We get a lot of action while also winning a decent chunk of games.

I can see myself playing PUBG solo or in duos to chill for a bit. Something tells me it is going to take a while to get good because of how long its been out. I used to be pretty good at shooters but now I am not 18 anymore and dont play as much either.

I guess the best way to get better is to drop hot in solos to get a solid grip on fighting and looting faster.

95% of the people playing it now are pretty experienced, you don't run into very many scrub-tier squads at this stage and half the people playing it seem to have a Twitch TV suffix in their usernames.

PUBG is great because you can return work emails while running after your friends/bitching about their lovely driving and the moments of 'oh poo poo it's now a firefight with 2 teams and a second ago we were happily stupidly looting the 15th complex despite being kitted AF' are a lot more entertaining to me than the all-action-all-the-time games like Apex/Blops.

Learning "where the gently caress is the shooting coming from" is all about hours spent in this game, at some point it'll click for you and that's a nice moment. Have your team bind the 'marking' button to the same key as 'fire gun' and you'll have more luck as a squad figuring out where the best player in your squad is aiming at.

Like I’ve moaned before, I really want a hardcore difficulty in this game.

No counter for amount of survivors, no hit notifications, and double damage.

The game in the final parts would be so much altered when you don’t know if there are 4 survivors or 1 besides your team. Besides, on a squad game the decision to push after ”maybe downing” another team member would be a huge gamble.

I'd like a Sandbox version of the game. Global chat enabled, respawns from plane when you die, loot respawning over time, vehicles respawning over time. Add a couple of rare spawn vehicles including a little bird helicopter and some armored cars.

Still, some fans were unhappy about the demise of PUBG, a game where users took on the roles of special operations forces.

"Who wants to be some bullsh** player, I want to be a special op!" one user, who goes by the handle 'the girl who carries boxes,' wrote on Chinese social media.

Nice going, CNN, you didn't reveal that you never played the game until the last paragraph. Better than par for mainstream press reporting on games.

no joke, the red arc of my nade was over the hood, level with the roof of the car - i have no idea how my nade bounced there, and also have no idea how the bounce landed where it did, although that was the best possible outcome because my plan b was to nade one and then suicide nade the other.

Hey PUBG'ers!
My best friend is a game designer, and he's put together a custom mode for an upcoming event with Kevin Smith and Martin Brodeur.
He needs help testing it this wednesday ~1 PM PST.
If anyone wants to come on and test it out then, it would be really helpful. I'm sure it's a fun mode, too, my friend does not gently caress around with boring poo poo. His steam ID is hobostew, message him if interested https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198001275205/

Yeah, I asked him about that, as my video game discord doesn't even have a room for coordinating it, anymore. He says it had the custom modes he needed.

Amos of Famous Amos fame was on Shark Tank. Looks like he sold off the brand and feelll on some tough times and wanted to get back into the cookie game. I guess there wasn’t a non compete contract or it’s expired by now.
