I’m surprised we haven’t seen copycat games take off yet in the same way we did for battle royales.

SovietWomble did a pretty good video on this subject recently. A lot of the wave of survival or battle royale type games we've seen in the last few years owe their origins to DayZ with each taking different aspects from it. PUBG took the pvp aspects while ditching about everything else, tarkov is realistic pvp and survival, rust is base building, etc.

There are a few tarkov style games but none with gunplay anywhere near as satisfying. Deadside is probably closest.

Every single streamer seems to be some turbo idiot gamer type. I watched a few of em during drops and they’d stand in the middle of suicide fields, get absolutely owned by some dude on the hillside shooting them, then scream ”drat cheaters”.

Then 400 people in chat would agree ”yeah really suspicious the game has gone down a lot lately”

And then they get 500$ donation.


I genuinely do not loving understand.

Don't forget the same 3-4 memes chiming every few minutes as people subscribe or donate money.

This is also a huge enjoyment problem with me and can make the streams or videos almost unwatchable as people put in messages into the text to voice system like "hi landmark you're so cool llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll el el el el el el el el el"

This is easily my least favorite thing about Anton's videos. He's fun to watch but my God the constant stream of 4chan tier memes and text to speech donations make me regret it every time.

you guys have converted me, im almost fully pp-19 with AP now.

I want to keep my builds budget, right now I'm using the pp-19 with AP, a uley and a soup bowl. Should I be using different armor?

It's a good gun. Too bad I only have access to pst right now, that stuff is dogshit.

Facts: the game should let you throw cans of stuff and they should make the clinking sound grenades make. Also the vector should be removed from the game.

Pst 9mm is so goddamn bad. 18 hits landed, 300ish absorbed by armor.

Letting you trade for a UMP at level 1 mechanic but having no ammo or mags for sale is kind of a dick move.

Though I do kind of agree it's annoying to sometimes play multiple raids on factory over and over where all the fighting is finished outside that area.

They could at least change it so only you have to be in the office area. Then you could shoot outside and not rely on people charging the most hazardous part of the map.

Pretty sure Skill Degradation is something that is only planned for the future, but not yet implemented.

It was in the game in early wipes but removed because it was awful and everyone hated it. Which of course means it will eventually be back and somehow even worse.

I don't know if it's optimal but if it's below half hp I'll ditch l4 for a fresh l3. Unless it's an armored rig and the corpse I'm looting has no rig, because that's too much effort.

It would be far more reasonable if it was killing players without dying instead of in a single raid.

I was thinking that but then I realized it really just encourages you to bum rush a spawn, kill the player, and reset immediately.


All the more reason to fix the horrible spawns.

Bear gets the summer camo pattern which is the exact same color as most of the grass in the game. Pairs nicely with the m2 rig to make you the ultimate bush wookie.

The mp5 and kedr are okay for leveling recoil control and murdering scavs. Use them to collect mp153s and then use those with buckshot.

My only issue with the recoil system is that it encourages mag dumps and discourages burst fire.

This basically makes it the best call to strap in a giant mag, prefire and just never let go off the trigger - and don't even bother ADSing...

With that said, I don't know how they could make the system better so I accept it as it is and run 50 round drums on my M1...

The recoil control skill reducing first shot recoil instead of a blanket reduction to all recoil would be a start.

It's really frustrating having the game glitch your gun 3 times in a row after firing a single shot. I love having to do a restart to be able to do things like open doors again.

That one isn't terrible if you can extract at the tank behind construction. Having to survive consecutively on customs and then factory is some bullshit.

Your OS is at least 3 major versions behind and is not getting updates. I liked Windows 7 too but it's time to move on. Throwing more ram at it isn't going to help.
