Forums - PC Discussion - PUBG, what am I missing?

For many, it's the first game that does battle royale right, without any zombies or other bullshit. It may look like a game from 2010, and have a lot of jankyness, but the gameplay loop is just so addicting. In contrast to dota or csgo, the game is very accessible for new players ( got fourth place in my first match) and is easy to pick up and play for short bursts of fun, one match at a time. Also, the game is not a fad, it's here to stay. Mark my words.

Define "Stay" because I can say with absolute confidence that the series will be dead in 5 years.

Yea me neither. Seemed like that Arma mod and DayZ standalone. I was so uninterested but my friend was into it and bought the game for me so that he had someone to play with him. Unfortunately it was too boring for me to play more then about 5 times. And now there is PUBG which looks similar but slightly better.

I suppose it has been pretty dry in the video games department lately and big streamers have been picking it up,

Ok given the huge amount of people now playing PUBG I figured their must be something special going on. So I got got it and have spent a couple of hours playing it and ..... well I just don't get it? it is just another generic FPS with average graphics, plenty of bugs and glitches and average game play. perhaps I am missing something?

I see the appeal, especially if you have good friends to play with, but I'm not feeling it either. Too buggy and jacky for my taste



Don’t follow the hype, follow the games

Given the bugs, average graphics, glitches and map I would say it is highly in danger of not lasting that long. Any of the other major fanchises could easily jump back on the survival mode bandwagon with significant all around improvements and displace it overnight.

PUBG....Microsort's only hope until Halo 6 and Gears 5 drop. Pub G looks like a great PC game but I don't know how well it will do on consoles. but I don't think it will completely make the transfer over.

Maybe it's because I haven't really followed Steam beforehand, but this game seems much bigger than other ones I can think of.

That's why I said the phenomenon is even stronger with this one. My guess is because of the Battle Royale aspect the game. + it's the game that gets the most views on Twitch  right now so the exposure effect goes on.

The Battle Royale aspect has been done in games before. I have to chuck this one to fad or luckfor going viral as the only thing different that this game does is the decreasing battle zone size. 



Simple. It gained enough traction to generate a following. And even threads such as this one help maintaining traction.
