If you hold yourself to very low standards then sure.
Holy shit - did not know this!
Edit: Wait - are you talking about the BR mode?
Yeah, pretty much. I'm an Arma player, like slower paced tactical shooter and I've 100% dropped PUBG for Blackout purely based on consistent performance while not having building mechanics.You mean those people who like tactical slow-paced gameplay will abandon PUBG to an arcadey fast pace iteration?
No. Blackout is devoid of tension. Shooting feels weak and basic. The sound design for getting shot at feels cheap. There's a lot of polish, but PUBG actually has some attention to detail that Blackout doesn't. I bet Treyarch will get there, but for me, there's still reason to go back to PUBG. At least as someone who plays BR games solo a lot of the time.
It's not about specific mechanics, it's about overall game feel. PUBG, for all of its jank, is still a game that feels more tactical on a moment to moment basis. A game where things like positioning and understanding sight lines has a much more obvious moment-to-moment relevance and importance to the gameplay and to the outcome of each fight. Blackout is awesome and what it brings to the table is bound to appeal to a lot of PUBG players regardless (because Blackout doesn't need to be a 1:1 replacement of a game to get people playing Blackout instead of that other game - we've all only got a few hours to work with in a day, after all). The intensity of PUBG is different than the intensity of Blackout, though, and I like PUBG's intensity more, personally. I'm far from the only one, either. The heartpounding sensation that comes from nervously positioning myself in bad cover because I'm certain someone will creep up behind me as the wall closes in (a hunch based on nothing more than the location of the circle, measured against the geography of the map and the path the drop-off plane took)... that's the shit I missed when I played Blackout, replaced with the moment-to-moment intensity of your average round of MP Call of Duty, which didn't speak to me so much in a large-scale BR format.I think it's more of a replacement than you think. The average BR player pool isn't exactly dedicated to a single game's mechanics. Fortnite is probably the only BR that won't be heavily gouged by Blackout because it has the building attribute. Going from PUBG to Blackout isn't a huge leap at all. Mechanics are different and the game is faster but the speed and performance are what will appeal to people.
holy shit
that just sold me on the game. Will definitely get at some point
777 hours in ArmA 3 and over 1000 in ArmA 2, here. And I dropped Blackout like a rock after giving it an honest shot for three days straight. Went back to PUBG promptly thereafter. Although that doesn't detract from your larger point, I just wanted to give myself as an example of someone who's into that tactical shooter experience and still finds PUBG entertaining enough.Yeah, pretty much. I'm an Arma player, like slower paced tactical shooter and I've 100% dropped PUBG for Blackout purely based on consistent performance while not having building mechanics.
I lost my mind seeing the option and then tried to play with my girlfriend in blackout split screen but when she presses X to sign in, the game kept crashing and getting an error. I reported the error and we just gave up.Blackout is just phenomenal, playing splitscreen with a friend gives the same vibes as playing the original Halo back in the day.
I won't disagree on how different the moment to moment feels, especially positioning. I just don't think it will matter to a large group of PUBG players. Could be completely wrong on this but the performance and lack of jank is going to be the determining factor. As a PUBG player I know I'm tired of it and am completely willing to give up that slower tactical feel for a stable game that isn't Fortnite.It's not about specific mechanics, it's about overall game feel.

I have a playstation plus account but my girlfriend does not. she has a profile on my ps4 and she is able to play other games online on my console.
What am I doing wrong?
Can you believe Bluehole finally 'fixed' the controls on Xbox? @ PTSI went back to Siege the other day, can't believe I've been playing PUBG for almost a year. The game still runs like dog shit on Xbox, and Bluehole is doing a terrible job supporting it. I think I'm locked back into Siege. I'm sure many of these CoD customers feel similarly about PUBG.
Yes that is correct. BlackOut is the first BR game to support splitscreen mutiplayer.
You can also do 4 player splitscreen for COD Zombies now too.

Terribly closed-minded. Some drugs even increase the tension. You wouldn't believe the shit I've seen.Devoid of tension? LMFAO. You must be playing a different game than I am. Blackout has excellent tension (at least for me) and shooting is miles ahead of any BR game.
Call of Duty engine always been super smooth with fantastic audio and visual feedback. Hence why this franchise is still so popular to this day.
Quit smoking whatever your on bro. Drugs are not good for you.
If its anything like Miramar it will bleed more of the population. Can't wait till we can turn that shit map off in the Xbox versionLike Shroud said, its a nice change of pace, but he ultimately prefers PUBG. PUBG has a hardcore audience that will not leave it. And you can bet those numbers will spike again when Map 4 is released, and people will tire out of Blackout's 1 map for the entire lifetime of its existence.

Title is fine. Blackout released and PUBG dropped at the same time.

drugs ruleYour post makes 0 sense. And if you're trying to tell people that drugs are okay then your a horrible person. You can get someone killed like that. Keep it up. Anyways enjoy your drugs.

FYI. I've heard Blackout runs quite poorly in split screen.
Oh shit. I didn't do that. I first had my girlfriend log into her account and then press x to join my session. Will try pressing x first and then have her select her account. Thanks for the advice.Sounds like you're doing nothing wrong, but they are constantly updating it so maybe it'll work if you try again or if it still doesn't work, delete it and redownload the patch again perhaps.
For us it was a simple matter of pressing x on the other controller, choosing the second players account and that was it.

YouTube was down (which is almost unheard of) yesterday. Is it possible Bobo is chipping away at YouTube as well?
Also seems possible that Bobo killed iron fist
I'm genuinely sorry for not catching that. This thread (among others) is why. I'd have seen your post for what it was if Poe's Law didn't get me :p
That doesn't mean the two things necessarily have a correlation, though.Title is fine. Blackout released and PUBG dropped at the same time.
This should be in the OT and a mod should update the thread title to reflect this.Didn't PUBG ban like a hundred thousand people last week? That has to count too.
