The fact that you're the lone negative review (so far) bodes well IMO.
What the hell is wrong with people. This is a PREVIEW!
If you want polished wait for the full release
If you want polished wait for the full release
No, most have said it's playable, with some saying it's better than expected, and it drops (as expected) during lobbies/parachuting and some heavy things (Edge).
I've also watched ~6 streams and all seem pretty decent.
After all the hype from MS folks i expected a bit better sry...even when its a game preview
I survived the launch of Friday the 13th: The Game, so I feel like there isn't much that could deter me from playing this problem-wise.
If you've never played on PC I imagine your impressions might be different. There's no pubg novelty factor for me as I've put hundreds of hours into the game already. This version just plays very badly currently in comparison. I'm sure they'll get there eventually though, hopefully!
I don't have a gaming PC, so this will be the first time I play it.
Then play on PC and wait for the full release. If it weren't full of bugs it wouldn't be a preview
Ok, I'll take the bait: The "hype" of announcing that the game is available for their platform? If a game existing and being advertised is too disruptive for you to accept the realities of work-in-progress games, I don't know what to tell you.
How dare ppl post displeasure about something they spent money on!
Sure, I guess I expected more given the MS marketing brunt behind working with the team. No issues with the 30fps cap for preview but I was hoping it'd hit it consistently. Right now the fps is really genuinely bad (either that or it's frame pacing issues) with some big drops when ADS'ing. Controller input response times go through the roof
Pretty hard to complain when it functions exactly as described. Almost as if people are disingenuously finding reasons to complain
Fluctuating FPS is not functioning exactly as described. People can write out their complaints.
Can you post some screenshots/video?
Actually it is. ITS A FRIKKING PREVIEW! It says it on the damn box, and on every web page
Im talking about guys like Aaron Greenberg and Mike. I wouldnt be happy to release the game in such state on my console
For anybody who wants a copy - I got an Xbox Live gift card for Singapore from SeaGM.com (instant code), then went to Xbox.com, changed language to Singapore English (at bottom), then picked up Battlegrounds. On payment I just redeemed the gift card code.
Don't buy from CDKeys for now until this issue gets fixed.

This is basically every topic that involves the Xbox at this point.
Calm down buster. So because it is a preview people cannot voice their complaints? Nope, people will discuss the game, both it's merits and flaws.
Don't ask me, I was quoting the guy.
It's PUBG. Think about that.
This is the new Ark - which is now "out", so to speak, yet still as horribly broken and unpolished as ever.
Seriously. It's an early access! release that isn't even released yet, so we don't even know if there's maybe a day one patch coming tomorrow and people want to refund already...
I'll Just leave this here
How does Xbox Game Preview work?
Xbox Game Preview games can be purchased and played like regular titles. Because the games are still in development, they might be missing content, contain bugs, or need extra balancing work that will come later via updates. Similarly, select Xbox One features like Share may also be unavailable until the final game is released. Once the game is purchased, you are entitled to every update as the game moves to its final commercial release as well as the final version of the game when it is finished.

Interesting.. I didn't even play that game, lol.
Yeah, I really want to play the trial for this. I thought Fortnite Battle Royale was just okay, so I wanna see if this draws me in more. I guess I'll keep looking at impressions online until then. Lol
I couldn't get into Fortnite, it was a little too arcady and didn't feel that great.
The test server version on PC is already a lot more polished and less buggy than the current PC version, let alone Ark.
I think Xbox has some in between version right now, though.
I thought the point of these preview games was to give feedback during their development to help shape and improve the game prior to the final release?
It's basically glorified beta testing, except you pay the developers money for the privilege.
I mean...it's somewhat better in some ways but it still ultimately feels really janky and un-optimized.
So long as people are giving accurate/representative feedback on problems, that's exactly what we want. Obviously people will have different expectations/standards, but as long as it's not a forgone conclusion (positive or negative), it's useful for the process. It helps other potential players build their expectations, and the more "on target" those are to the realities of the game, the more likely they are to enjoy it when they sit down with it.
nice! I will be checking it out on X1S as well. I have it on PC and have a beefy rig (i7700 / 1080GTX) and even that dips on load island and during the plane / jump sequence. But usually once on the ground it holds pretty well.
Sounds like it will be the same on console, just at a lower res and framerate obviously. (But the dips people are discussing during those moments are common on PC is what I am getting at)
Yeah, and apparently the average casual gamer prioritizes fun factor over optimization/performance considering how successful this game has been, which is a good thing, don't get me wrong, but kills me as a spoiled PC user. Going from 144hz G-sync'd Overwatch to this will be, well, an adjustment.
Nevertheless, a full squad of friends + equal playing field > 60fps + scumbags aimbotting and flying across the map on a magic carpet.
Hopefully they get the Xbone S version to hit a solid 30fps @1080p.
But saying that the game is bad due to frame rate and pop ins ia not constructive feedback.
anyone have impressions playing on an xbox one s? i think i've only read those who have been playing it on the 1x.
LB
third match game is so easy right now
how do you hold breath while ads?
Do we know/expect if Duo's and Squad's are to be enabled once it officially launches at midnight?
