So I finally was able to play the game. I am on the Xbox One X and in the 3 games you can definitely see the tech issues, but honestly it was not that bad once you landed on the ground. I never played the game and was not 100% on knowing the controls, so as a total noob to the game I came in 16th in my first game. I honestly did not know what I was doing...I could not tell where on the map I was, I know I was near the water but just could not locate my icon on the map. So the blue wall of death took almost 50% of my health. I was running trying to catch up to it but then came across a piece of shit vehicle and took that over until I caught up and stopped losing health.
I managed to kill 2 people in the car which was funny as hell...both people had no clue what was coming as well as I ran them over from behind. I have to say the sound is really good and having a 7.2 audio system it was really good to hear your surrounding. Anyways, as I was driving around, the play area was getting smaller and I had finally figured out my icon on the map. As I drove towards the center someone started popping me and took me down to a sliver of health. In my haste to get away and know looking I took my vehicle airborne into a lake of water. I could not figure out how to get out and the car sunk to the bottom and I finally got out. Luckily, I drove far enough from the guy that he no longer was shooting at me. I got out and made a run for it. Was hiding behind a tree where someone found me and killed me. 16th for my first game which to me was not bad especially since I never played the game.
I have to say and echo what many have said, the game begins to get more and more tense as the player count gets killed off. When I hit top 50 I was like "oh shit". In my second game I came in 38th. Was hiding in a 2 Story house, looted it and as I was upstairs I heard a window break...I went prone on the ground and kept my cursor on the stairs as that was the only way up. Unfortunately I only had a Uzi which sprayed bullets and the opponent looked to have a rifle and he head shot me. My 3rd game I came in 84th. I had just picked up a gun, but forgot to load the bullets, heard someone come in (I close doors after I open them to hear if anyone opens them). The person had a crowbar as I tried to fire at them to realize I did not load the damn gun. He/she took me out easily.
I was a lot a ton of fun even with the technically issues. I have played a lot of preview games and honesty this has been the best one (which is not saying much) compared to some of the others. Conan/Ark were almost unplayable at the start..at least with PUBG you can play and still have a great time. I do get the complaints, there is no doubt about it, but I have played a ton of games in my lifetime and have played games with tech issues before and if you are having fun then the issues don't seem as bad...especially for a game you know they are going to continue to work on.
I would love to duo or be in a group. I plan to be back on in about an hour or so. My Gt is the same as my name here "Hawk269" if you want to add me.
