So about the crate system. Is it RNG as in you might get a common, uncommon, rare, legendary, exotic cosmetic item? And is it just one item per crate?

Yeah i see now why so many people play PUBG. It has something that keeps you playing for some reason. Like "oke just one match again"
Must say i cant wait for first person servers tho.

I urge all of you checking out the game for the first time to look up Shroud's videos on Twitch and YouTube to see the game played at the very highest level. It's really interesting and feels like you're watching a very different game than you'll ever really experience.

Yeah, especially to the guy saying framerate doesn't matter because this is not a 'twitch shooter'.

Close-range engagement in PUBG is as twitch as most games get. If it's chugging during firefights then that's a problem.

Buddy one mine his game crashed two times when we were going high speed on a motorcycle. He is on a S and looks like the console just cant handle the speed and the quick loading of everything haha.
Great feature btw that people can rejoin after they crashed out.

To add on to this, I would recommend checking out ChocoTaco. He's consistently in the top 10 kill rating and is really good about talking through his decision making and play style. I'm definitely a better player after watching and listening to him.

Came a day early from Amazon. Just got it installed and crashed on the character creation screen for me we're off to a good start!

And now looks like I'm stuck with the generic default character, not a huge deal but meh.

They did a great job with the controls and inventory btw. Offcourse just getting used to it the first matches. But it works great and pretty fast when you get a hang of it.

Do you have any specific video recommendations on YouTube?

You're literally golden with any highlight on YouTube. He's the biggest PUBG streamer (with good reason) and he plays better than anyone pretty much every single game. It's truly ridiculous, since he's streamed for 24+ straight hours on Twitch before and managed to maintain his level of play.

But anyway, here's an example video.

He plays aggressively every game, often dropping at school (the de facto map "fight club"), and it's just fascinating to see him control the game the way he does.

I appreciate it. Tonight, I'm gonna have a lot of homework...

I play PUBG on PC exclusively with a Controller so I am curious how inventory will be. I have it set up through steam to control the mouse cursor with the right stick and left trigger is mouse right click, right trigger is left clock (Basically works like Destiny 2's Menu.) Figured they would go that route, but they didn't it.

I'll be streaming tomorrow, playing on X1S. Should have some streams up on my youtube channel too. I have played 200+ hours on PC with a controller so I am looking forward to giving my impressions on the Xbox version.

Pubg has a lot more going on in a single match than fortnite does. Fortnite has really limited weapon customization (they sort of replace the attachment system of pubg with tiered guns that are all pretty similar), no vehicles, and a weird, haphazardly implemented building mechanic that is, to me, way more detrimental to the combat than it is a fun, substantial gameplay addition.

Also, it's maybe notable in this thread that fortnite has some pretty awful network problems. You can tell an enemy is nearby anytime the game starts lagging.

Yeah, I was never sure if the building stuff in fortnite helped or hurt the game. Sometimes it was cool, other times it just annoyed me lol. But thx for the feedback! :D

As unstable as it is, I am still enjoying it, had plenty of memorable moments already. I turned the sensitivity down for the scopes and ADS and it's made a bit of difference and its a bit better now.

It is game preview, they have made pretty good progress on the PC version so I think they can have this running at solid 30fps on Xbone by the time it leaves the game preview, maybe outwith the parachuting since loading that whole island at once is even too much for my £1500 PC to be stable.

I think it's more server side atm....they would be getting hammered and ue4 can be a little janky when servers or hosts start fucking up

Some of the games I've played have been flawless

Thanks. I'm wondering how the framerate is on the S.
I don't have the money for an X right now and would love to play PUGB on the S but not if the frame rate is horrendous lol

It's really bad when parachuting in and on the loading island but beyond that its playable. If you havent played it on PC you wont notice the huge difference. I still think its easily worth the £18 I paid, even in it's current state.

No options to mess with controls/sensitivity from the main menu!?

Also, did anyone else that used cdkeys get the deal that came with a free copy of Assassin's Creed Unity? My AC Unity code was just replaced by my PUBG code. Not super upset, just weird.

There is you have to hold down the menu button then it's in there, it's not very obvious

Arghhh. I wish I could pound on Xbox players. I am outmatched on PC and feel like I could win, at least for the first week, on Xbox

Press the start button twice.

In-game, press & hold.

Everything.

Animation isn't great, movement feels janky (even with vaulting), the worlds themselves feel as if they're pieced together from a collection of free assets, there are a lot of broken visual elements (the horizon tends to look awful and completely disconnected from the world when gliding into the map), vehicles look and move poorly, building interiors are just ugly (really ugly), the lighting is generally poor and the whole thing feels cheap. I've managed to have fun with the game with friends but every single match I'm thinking "man, this is one ugly game". There are ten year old games that look significantly better than PUBG.

I haven't played it on Xbox yet, I should note, just PC with maxed settings at 1440p.
Have you actually played the new map? Unlike the old map it actually looks and feels like a real place. Towns look like actual towns instead of random buildings placed together in different configurations, locations have a lot more unique buildings and the interior of buildings are a lot more natural. The original map is pretty much what you've described, a map quickly cobbled together using store assets when they still only expected the game to sell a few hundred thousand copies (which is where a lot of the issues come from). Vehicle physics and driving have seen an overhaul and feel much better now. They still freak out when hitting each other sometimes, but I don't see that getting fixed any time soon.

I won't argue it's a looker, but I think it's fine for what it's trying to do. Maybe once they get the performance at a more stable level we'll see some graphical improvements.

I second that on ChocoTaco, he really did help me get several Chicken Dinners on PC, waiting for the Xbox One version tomorrow now
