That perfect pasta sauce.
;)
But I agree, it's nuts how popular it is, the thrill of this game is amazing.
Here's the game at 720p:
Here's the game at 1440p:
CPU usage remains high no matter what resolution is selected, this is on lowest settings (I normally play with a mix of settings and GSYNC). GPU of the XBX is certainly up to snuff, but the CPU is definitely causing issues somewhere. I'm running an i5 3570k for reference with a GTX 1070. Hopefully they can squeeze that 60fps they were aiming for, but who knows.
What's with the comments wanting Microsoft to buy up the game?
Then it wouldn't come out for the PS4 peeps.

I think what you are seeing, is a game that appeals to the "older than COD Crowd" for lack of better words, but it also appeals to the COD crowd too.
I'm almost 40, and playing TDM shooters makes me want to vomit now (and I played COD pretty much from the jump, through BLOPS2), but PUBG, FNBR, just bring a tense tactical feeling to gaming, and I think it resonates across more demographics than "spawn run shoot kill die spawn run die spawn kill kill die" does. Every match is like a short story set after the apocalypse.
This is one of the poorest running and ugliest games I've played in a looooong time, at least on the S. But god damn, I can't wait to get back to it this evening. Really hope they can clean up the performance at some point, as I'm not sure I want to spend the money on an X any time soon.
I've seen lots of comments about the game being too dark - I'm not playing on an HDR set and for me It just feels way too contrasty, more so than too dark. It's really hard on the eyes at times, not sure why there are no sliders for it.
Does anyone know if you can access the controls menu outside of a match? I know there are are screengrabs floating around, but I don't want to be poking around on my phone when I'm playing.

Makes perfect sense from a business perspective but even as an Xbox player without a PS4, I'm still not keen on MS or Sony paying cash to keep shit off other platforms. They should focus on making stuff themselves. Unless they're funding the game of course /OT.
That Mixer thing is fucking awesome though.
I watched some streams but it feels like most of the game is just walking around looking for equipment. I'm sure the fights are intense because if you lose you're out but maybe it's something I need to play to really understand.
I think Bioshock's creator was also praising Siege a few days ago and saying it plays out like a single player game. Lots of tension, use of sound, strategy, etc.
And yes, PUBG's encounters feel very much like contained stories.
At this point, I just want more. I loved LOU's multiplayer for similar reasons, and the Ghost Wars in Wildlands is also very appreciated by fans.
The likelihood is very slim.
They already tried. Several other companies would be interested, too.
I don't see it happen
its something u only understand once u play it. some matches leave ur nerves shot, hand shakes uncontrollably and need to take at least 2-3 mins rest when the round ends
Oh I completely agree, the more people that get to experience it the better. I hate the idea of moneyhatted exclusives, but I completely understand them from a business perspective.
I'm usually against shit like that. But in this case the meltdown that would ensue would be worth it.
Siege and PUBG seemingly excel at emergent experiences way more than other shooters.
After six games I finally got my first kill. #feelsgoodman Then i got melted by the storm. Also finding out that right bumper turns on first person is golden.
The leaderboards are split my region and gametype.
I am 250,000th on the US Solo leaderboard
The adrenaline is what gets ya
Got into a 5 squad wild west shootout yesterday with my boys and we all had Karak98s and it was fucking awesome even tho we lost half our squad.
Noti if its the same kind of deal they did with Minecraft where it launched on all systems.
I did, albeit just for a couple rounds and without spending much time customizing the set up. I'm going to wait until I'm more familiar/more comfortable with the controls before trying to put something together.
For now, I was just using 2 paddles (my personal preference) and had crouch/prone on the left and reload on the right. Crouch/prone on a paddle was nice, but reload on the right paddle was fucking fantastic given how this game handles reloading with having to hold the button for the duration. Being able to still control both axis while reloading has already proved to be invaluable in a closer quarters firefight.
Thank you for simple analysis, I though that this would be a problem, but what is so CPU intensive? I study software engineering, so I am not really sure....
They already tried per Zhuge a while back.

Yep, tell your teammates to gtfo your way if they have a habit of crossing your sights!
You get the full game when it releases.
My Siege squad is the one playing this, so luckily we're...well practiced.
You got it.
Absolutely. Its funny if done by accident. It feels strangely personal when you get killed on purpose. Happened to me on PC when I randomed into a squad game. I could feel them watching me and waiting for their 'et tu brute' moment.
Is the Mixer Hypezone thing threadworthy? I think that's a pretty cool and new concept. Can't make the thread myself but think it should be called out!
I'm not very technically inclined, but the map is a massive 8x8 km (a lot is water, though the desert map has very little water) with lots of grass, trees, and a large view distance.
Just fired it up on the S, definitely worse than X performance but still playable and fun. Basically everyone should be jumping in at this point.
Yeah sure, but once it's loaded, there is no reason to "look" that far, only thing that should matter to client is people in vicinity or those who can kill you or you can kill them.
They've added some more servers now, hopefully it will be better now
Well I played 3 matches last night. Didn't get a single kill in any of the matches. I guess I'm pretty awful at this game, lol. I didn't really have any performance issues, and never got disconnected so that's good. Looks pretty decent on the X. Looking forward to trying it out with friends and seeing if that's a better experience. I thought this would be more fun by myself, but maybe not. haha
Leaderboards
So it looks like the US leaderboard is at 250k and it's been out a bit more than 12 hours. It's going to hit 500k by the end of the day lol
Game Preview games are work in progress games, you take on the risk of the game being glitchy and broken until it is fixed. The reward is getting to play it before the game is released and usually having paid less than the retail price.
Yeah, like I said I got no clue. I just know CPU usage remains pretty high at all times. Someone else can explain all these things much better than I!
Getting a squad game with 3 people is nearly impossible. Myself and 2 friends have been trying for about an hour. There should be an option to make a 3 man team.
I now understand why 3 people were teaming in solo earlier.

More tips to new people.
-Really, like I said in my last post, play with a headset.
-Look for broken windows when you're looking to see where you got shot from.
-Alternatively, break windows if you're camping in a building with your fists if you think you're the first one there. If you have a silencer or flash hider if you start shooting it can make it hard for people to find where the shots came from.
-When scoping out a building, learn what doors are open/closed all the time inside buildings. People frequently shut the outside doors but not so on the inside doors. This might help you find someone.
There is on PC, strange that didn't come over.

Just played my first 3 matches on Xbox One X and it is really fun, Looks pretty good on the X as well and it runs fine once on the ground and plying. I've watched alot of PC streams and the X versions look better than most of the configs these streamers use. Alot of PC guys nuke as much vegetation as possible to see players hiding better. The Xbox version will be much more fair in this regard.
Over all after just playing a few matches really like it and this will be a blast to play over the holidays. Great timing to deliver this now.

This option is already on the PC 1.0 test server and I imagine coming to XBOX soon.
edit: on PC you can do
solo or solo squad (get teamed with 3 randoms)
duos or 2 person squad (2 mates, 2 randoms)
3 person squad (3 mates, 1 random)
4 squad
I am waiting for answer as well. What kind of engine does it use by the way? Is there there any splash screen which lets it out?
