Posted August 3, 2017 Okay, why is PUBG so successful? I've played 25 hours of the game myself and in my opinion, the game is not very good. I just don't understand how so many people are sinking so many hours into such a dull, repetitive, broken experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 3, 2017 Repetitive? How? Its extremely luck based, even the best teams in the world dont even have a 50% win rate in public servers (Cant remember exact figure, about ~45% IIRC). It is still a bit broken, its in early access for a reason, wait until the end of the year for it to be finished. Please quote our replys so we get a notification and can reply easily.

Posted August 3, 2017 It's not as repetitive as you might think , that's why people love it. You'll need more than 20~ hours to get an idea.

Posted August 3, 2017 It's so popular because it's a unique game. The only games that come close to this game are H1Z1 and the Arma 3 mod and they are both made by the same guy that made PUBG.

I wasn't traversing the map for loot; I simply found a small hut that the play area conveniently continued to shrink around, and sat in it for a good 15-20 minutes. Quad play is distracting especially when you have chatty teammates who insist on announcing every bit of loot they find.
