Should i buy PUBG?

[Boris_191]

Should i buy PUBG? Rewiews are %54, and that makes me wonder; is the game actually good? And is it worth the money?

[TidaLWaveZ]

I'd rather play pubg than fortnite.

[Ansuex]

So I gave it a try, and I really did have fear for other players being alone in this huge open area.

At first that made me very exited to play the game more. It got boring for me once that fear started to fade.

 

So yea, if you like battle royale games, Pubg can be alot of fun! It is not my thing however.

Even though I got it at full price almost a year ago, I only put in 72 hours. I'd rather play Fortnite for free than PUBG fro €30. 

 

Play Fortnite and get PUBG when it's on sale?

[IrshaadH]

Buy it, play it for 119 minutes, then make a decision about whether or not you want to return it.

[Frankenburger]

It's not a bad game, but it's obvious Blue Hole is anxious to get a piece of that lootcrate pie.

[applebook]

Get it if you want a fairly realistic shooter that has some notable but not game breaking issues.

 

I've played only 27 hours but have watched several hundred hours.

 

There aren't that many cheaters, at least not in FPP. Some desync issues and lag exist, but not moreso than most online shooters. You can easily find similar or even more blatant desync and lag examples from virtually any shooter. It should be better with the new PING matchmaking, which could be a decent compromise outside of region locks.

 

More content is coming, including a brand new map. This game has come a long way since Early Access and is playable enough in its current state to warrant the low asking price.

[Darkseth]

watch twitch streams about it / gameplay videos.

 

Or go play Fortnite for free, so you can try the battle royale gamestyle.

If you don't get warm with it, you don't need Pubg.

 

 

Or you could say: If you need to ask, then the Answer is clearly no. ^^

 

Btw: Those bad reviews probably come because of Cheater crowding the game, and/or bad performance.

Honestly it is the best FPS game I have ever played especially when you have a good group of friends to play with, that is when the game really shines IMO. That being said go into the game expecting massive bugs crashes and server maintenance at the worst times. I have never had a FPS game get my anxiety levels so high, it has a super addictive model to it less run and gun and more team work. I like the slower pace and realistic feel where you have one life to live don't F it up. gun play is hard to master too and I think that adds a lot to the game, it is hard to pick someone off from 200 yards with the M4 vs a game like BF4 making the fights longer and funner (although you could walk around for 20 min and get picked off with a KAR98 - but that is why duo's and squads are better because a friend can pick you back up)

 

TLDR- the game is a buggy pile of s*** but a fun pile of s*** and game play is a 30 minute heart attack because you are so nervous everywhere you go, and that is what makes it fun and addictive to me. also the first FPS game I have played with buddies where I actually have fun with team work (not just run and gun next to my friends).

Overall there are alot of hackers but the game itself is good

[Mutoh]

Like people have said, PUBG is fun, more fun with friends but it's buggy as shit. I wouldn't really compare it to Fornite like other people are doing here though as they aren't really similar aside from being "survival games". Fornite has a crafting and building feature that changes the metagame quite a bit and also I find Fornite to be much more forgiving in the shooting aspect of it. Another thing with Fornite is its mostly a 3PP game. Sure there are ways to make it first person but its not ideal.

 

PUBG on the other hand I find has a bit more of a focus on the action, how the guns shoot and feel etc... there is driving as well and the game has a different pace. It's a bit slower in the movement sense but in terms of running into players, I find it way more scary and exciting to do in PUBG than I do in Fornite. It's way more tense IMO and I like that a bit more out of quick pick 'em up games like these.

if you have a group of friends to play with, then sure.

otherwise,

its shit. and full of hackers, bugs, and by far the worst netcode ive ever seen(17hz average tick rate is abysmal and they should be ashamed of themselves)

[DaMainMan]

Disregard the above post.

There is a reason its one of the most popular games in the world right now -> it is a ton of fun, even in solo (which is basically all I play).

[-TesseracT-]

No, the game is terrible. It's incredibly boring, all you'rre doing is fucking looting, and the shooting feels very off. 

[Bigbootyjudy]

I feel like its still pretty good even with Fortnite being free, the game being hard to run, tons of hackers, and being overall buggy. It creates a unique experience that Fortnite just doesn't create with its art style and items.

[Boris_191]

I gave it a try, played for 110 minutes.... then refunded it due to it being boring and unoptimized as hell. thanks for the reccomendations people

I have over 400 hours in this game, so my opinion is backed up somewhat. Having said that I would say DO NOT BUY THIS GAME, not in its current state atleast. Sure the game is fun and all the rest, but the game is broken and needs a lot of work to get it up to par. You don't need to look too far to find out what's wrong with this game. 

 

If you have the patience of a Tibetan monk and can deal with inconsistency in hit registration, de-sync issues and coward players, then by all means spend $30 and go nuts. If however you lack that reasonable amount of patience anyone should have when buying a modern day game, then I would highly suggested that for your mental and emotional well being you hold off from buying this game. Honest to truth, this game is still in BETA. It has only 2 maps and a load of issues.

 

For those saying "oh its fine game..just need to have fun, yadda yadda yadda" Yeah that is all well in the short term, but round after round.....it gets old very quickly. Fortnite is free, works well, is optimized and is a really different experience if you master the building side of it.
