Of course not but this is how the game currently is, no matter the platform. If you want shiny graphics, than you have to play other games.

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds Xbox Game Preview |OT| Jump Out
- Thread starter Ferny
- Start date
So impressions so far. I was there at the launch moment to download it. Took maybe 8 minutes to download, not bad at all.
Went out to get some drinks, when I came back 30 minutes after launch, could not sign in.
So played a mission of Battlefront and a half hour later PUBG worked fine.
I played 4 straight solo games. I was terrible but outside of jumping out of the plane it all seemed to run fine.
Getting used to the controls.
I only got one kill during those first four games, again the controls. You have to hold what is essentially the interact button to load your weapon which took me a couple of games to learn. You have to manually put those bullets in there.
I think it runs pretty solid so far when it involves gunplay.
By the way I am running it on a Xbox X.
As soon as I die, I start another game, and I have been instantly shot into the lobby where the next game starts within 60 seconds.
Oh and my one kill ranked me at around 50k on whatever NA server I am playing on. There is no shortage of players. Outside of that first hour when it was released, it has been a positive experience.

I mean, the first hours are to be expected to cause some issues on servers. They have to rebalance the traffic and the load which will potentially even be automatic but heuristics take some time to re-adjust, not to mention that the load constantly increases as more and more players will try to join.
Played four or five matches and it is rough. However it is an early access game and it's certainly playable. The performance seemed to hover around the mid to high 20s most of the time. Draw distance was thankfully good and not all of the textures seemed like they belonged on the N64. Controls are OK. Not intuitive at all but you get used to them. It will definitely take time to get used to the lack of aim assist. Even though I only killed one person in over an hour of playing, I still had a ton of fun.
One question, is there any way to switch shoulder views without going into a lean?
Hey I liked that game! =p I don't disagree with you though.

Dont want to be that guy but those screens remind me of Flashpoint lol
From 2009

Played a few games before bed. Pleasantly surprised at how it looks and runs. Very solid and the controls feel good though a lot to learn. Curious to see what friends with a regular Xbox have to say.
Fortnite is obviously a more polished product. But despite that it still feels like the clone to this, despite the jankiness and stuff in this.
Got a solo dinner, then with my buddy dinner, runner-up, and then dinner. Feels good to put some game knowledge to use from the PC version and actually win some at this game.
I play with a XIM m+k adapter (which maps to xbox inputs) and after a few games... it's not terrible. It seems to have most of the functions from the PC version. You inventory menu with the d-pad and bumpers and that's been tough, but feature-wise it seems pretty complete. Two things I don't know how to do yet on Xbox are leaning (I assume that's in) and free-look while running... oh and auto-run for that matter. I need to find that blog post that explained the controls again now that I have it somewhat figured out and look for what's missing. But overall it feels pretty close. I was really confused at first but now I like what they did with it.
It really does. Performance wise I mean it needs some work. I hope at some point this game gets an unlocked frame rate paired with the supposed FreeSync support that is coming to X at some point. If it could even just get to like 45 fps it would be a pretty big quality of life improvement.
Not getting a loot box either. I get "Error occurred"
Bit annoyed. That cost me $12AU.
Its rough but not unplayable, had quite a bit of fun but finishing third, and then fourth back to back was too much on my nerves.
Just watching a stream of this and this game needs aim assist bad and maybe some reduced recoil. Literally seeing whole squads standing in the open 20 meters apart missing every shot.
Frame rate isn't perfect but I'm finding input lag to be very low. No problem aiming over here compared to many other shooters that run at a solid 30 but have much worse input lag.
Are you actually gloating that you've won matches while at the same time admit to using a m+k adaptor?
Hard reset time?
There was no download IIRC.
Hold Right Bumper to free-look.

Pretty sure your PC knowledge isn't the determining factor there... Stop ruining it for controller players on a console.
God. Damn. XIM.
That feeling when you drop amongst a load of houses and you can hear footsteps yet you can only find a frying pan.
I was not complaining about it.
I super expected it to happen. I thought it would actually be worse then it was.
Like maybe I would have to wait a few days until they worked shit out.
But no, it was only an hour or so.
Tell me about it. A guy had me dead to rights - he was five feet away, I was naked and completely unarmed - all I did was hop around and run in circles and he eventually burnt through all of his ammo and ran off in frustration.
It looks bad on PC as well. Gameplay is what makes it so popular.
The PC version at the best settings is still not a very visually impressive game.
Nobody ever saw even the best of PUBG on the ultimate computer, and said wow look at those graphics.
ehhhh I mean it wasn't the most optimized game, but below 30? Maybe once in a while if you are unlucky and run into a bug where the framerate becomes affected by network issues, but it mostly ran above 80 for me and above 60 for my friends who are not on crazy PC's. The latest update on the test server improved performance even more with it hovering between 100 and 144. Often locking at 144.
Aiming down a scope in this version is amazingly terrible. Like don't bother using scopes unless the player isn't moving and you have a one shot capable rifle.
Oh.. 2018 announcements are about to be interesting.
Pokemon....... Battle Royale
Can I ask a favour? Can someone try swapping regions and see if it tracks both lots of games? I played on the EU server and that shows up in my "career" stats.
I then played a game on the US server but when I look at my US career stats they're all 0? I got 5 kills in the game, which I'll never repeat so I wanted to see my stats before they get worse :)
This was 9 hours ago, so I'm not sure if it was server boggles or something.

Some bastard just had me pinned in a house. For the life of me I couldn't see where he was but everytime I tried to make a break for it he would open fire.
The two of us ended dying without making it to the safe zone. I used to hate that shit in fortnite and I hate it here. People sacrifice their own life just to troll you.

I would honestly say, if you've been playing it all year that you must have experienced a strange laggy feel in the PC version too. Man it was only up until about a month or two ago that there wasn't constant issues with getting a door open on the pc version. it always felt like you had to press it multiple times to get them open. I still have the odd issue now. The new map sems to run leagues better though.
I played on my son's S this morning to see what people are talking about and I just don't see it, maybe the original xbox is worse. I had a few firefights, i spotted a guy from distance and had an awesome shootout. My definite agreement though is aiming needs work. I went full auto on the AK and i was shooting all over the place. the lift from the AK with a red dot was very tough to gauge.
SIngle rounds with a scope is fine if you line it up properly.
So yeh, my main complaint is the shooting. Runs great on the one s and looks extremely close to the pc version but with a dodgier framerate (totally expected from a console version)
Excited to get on properly tonight.
Only recently though.
I run at 1440p with an i7 and gtx1080 at low/medium and I struggled to maintain 60 until recently.
I played 2 quick rounds last night on X1X. No one killed me and both times I was killed by whatever the fuck is happening i this game. I only came across one person in either match and I think they had the same problem as me, couldn't work out how to get the ammo in the gun! I even said "Hey Siri, how do I reload in PUBG." and I got a wiki link that said Y to reload on a controller.
Just as I was about to die on the second round, I found it was hold X.
Janky as fuck, butt ugly and low frame rate during the plane/jump bits but was so much fun. Even if I only play a few hours of this before dumping in frustration, it will have been worth the 20 pounds. I don't see this as something I'd player forever (I loved COD:WWII and only played that for 2 weeks) but it certainly exhilarating.
I normally don't go in for games where you only have one life and are basically forced to watch everyone else for the rest of the round like CS or R6 (old school R6 at least), PUBG lets you leave after you die, which appeals to me greatly.
Over Xmas though I only have access to an OG X1, so who knows how badly that will run compared to the 1X.

So.. I found out today that another player can take a shotgun round to the face and not even flinch. Yeah.. Im starting to dislike this more with every game...
Will try squads later.
Will try squads later.
Why? People get too prideful over this shit. The streamer with no helm or vest drove a dacia right past a squad and didn't only survive but didn't even get touched. On PC they would've gotten melted even with lvl3 helm+vest.
Oh hai aLDi :)
Yeah hit detection had some serious issues for me as well, maybe because the servers are at their limits.
Sorry but I'd rather miss a shot because I missed it than have someone running around 360 no-scoping. That's not pride, that's just preference. There are very few games with auto-aim where you don't have to also fight against magnetism to get the shot you want, that stuff annoys me more than anything.
There are other streams you can find with people completely fine with their aiming. The people you saw should probably adjust their sensitivity a bit if a four person squad can't land a single shot on a person driving directly at them.
You can just quickly press LT from third person and it will go straight to scope. Holding LT seems to do a slightly tighter version of the third person crosshair.
