I think best buy is doing a promo where if you pick up the game in store they will send you a 10 dollar bonus in january. So the game becomes 14 dollars after the bonus.

That was fucking hype. The match we played before when we made #7 or 8(?) is where "the PUBG experience" really clicked for me. That prolonged ~5 min(?—might've been even longer) firefight at the gas station before the bridge, with the wall closing in on us was so intense. I felt really good about my last stand there with the shotgun after you guys all bit the dust. ;_;
Speaking of, the shotgun's feedback has felt the best of all weapons I've used so far. Most guns feel kind of flaccid. There's certainly room for improvement there (and a million other places).
I really understand the fun factor now, though. Looking forward to playing more.
That gas station stand was awesome, as was driving through all the blue--making it to the edge--and then suddenly hitting a pothole that ended it all (that was the game when you were AFK IIRC). We literally crawled to a fucking tree and died lmao.
I may not be on my the next couple of days but I definitely will be on Sunday for majority of the day. If yall see me on send an invite. GT Boke1879
I accepted your request already DOOM.
Quick question, how do you throw nades? Is there a quick button for applying first aid?
Looking the experience so far, too bad people are having a fit

Will do. I'm seeing Last Jedi late tomorrow night (tonight, technically) but I'll be on before. I'll also be on a lot of this weekend as well.
Nades--I think you select and equip them by tapping on right D-pad (I think) and then use RT to chuck them (but don't quote me there).
For first aid, tap down on the D-pad to select and then hold it down to use it.
I guess that Crow person's video didn't derail the hype train?!
Has anyone tried this to see if it helped stability?

Someone commented that just setting it down to 720p instead of 1080p had the same effect. If true that's the best of both worlds. Hate not being able to record, you know for that killer headshot ;)
Just played two co-op games with a friend, had a great time!
Performance issues are unfortunate, but it definitely doesn't kill the game for us. We're both using X's though.

Nice find .. looks like it was the same ish performance tweak for the PC version too a while back !

I don't think that changes anything. Sounds more like placebo effect.
God fucking damn it. I turned off the capture capabilities of the console to test out the framerate, and I end up side stepping a guy trying to run me over and hit the button just in time to enter the backseat. He ends up driving me around for a bit before getting out and somehow getting hit with his own car, and I have no way to document that :(
Anyway, I didn't notice much of an improvement in the framerate outside of the pre game lobby unfortunately.

I just noticed that's North America specific. I wonder what the other markets are like.
Okay, I can see why this game gets so much praise. Me and my Brother just played for three and a half hours straight. It definitely takes a while to get used of the controls but once you do, they seem to become second nature. The graphics don't really bother me now but the disconnects that we get when playing are annoying.
Ended up getting 2nd playing with my Brother who died the first two minutes. Had to make it without him right to the end. It came down to me either trying to rush the guy or try and pick him off. I tried to pick him off, ran out of ammo and he hid behind a vehicle and got me. What a rush!

I did mention in the CrowbCat thread that there could be other factors contributing to the issues he had, becuase I've never had 'marshmallow houses'.
I wonder if using a decent external HD helps, as I've been using one and game runs at least better than crowbats.

Some PC people said in there they had the same problem and it was to do with a slow and full HDD. When they switched it was gone.
I got this in a squad game last night. Got my eye in with it and got a good few shots at a good range but man IT IS WEAK. He ran off!
Are you on standard Xbox One or Xbox One X?
That is a shame you missed that though, that would've been hilarious to see, lol.
I was just watching this a few minutes ago. Now I just wish this game had a shooting range to give these games a run in a stable setting to get a good feel for this stuff.
I play off an external SSD and I don't get any of that, the only bad textures I get are in the lobby area.
Cheers, been overwhelmed with all these weapons and types, this should help
Wow this game can be Infuriating. I don't think a game as got me as mad as when some guy comes at you and you miss with 100 bullets.
with a map that large and no loading screens it is indeed very likely that the streaming of the assets has a huge impact on the overall performance
What do you mean with "a whole lot better"? The IQ is almost perfect on the X thanks to super sampling, how exactly can it be better, or like you said, even "a whole lot" better as perfect?
I know your posting is not intended to, I read your stuff over the last few days, but some postings just read like big troll post.
One can also exaggerate....
Seriously, this game has definitely problems. But bad IQ/AA is not one of them.
I know what you mean by watching the videos, some parts does indeed still flicker but most of the time the picture quality is just perfect, one of the best super sampling examples for these consoles.
In no way am i trolling and i was very serious here and on screenshots you can pretty much never really see aliasing but when playing the game yourself you can easily see it and i find distracting too. The latest DF video really shows it.They show PC and X side by side and i don't see any aliasing/flickering on the PC side and clearly i do on X. The AA really isn't too great at all, sure a lot better than on standard Xbox One though but not nearly as clean as say....Gears 4 for example.
Maybe the game supersampled looks better i don;t know but on my 65B6 from a reasonable distance it really doesn't look too hot at all, just what i expected after the trailers except sadly with noticeable aliasing. I just hate aliasing with a passion and i was so happy with a lot of the games on X now and i sure expected at least a reasonably clean picture. I can handle some low res textures and hell i can even play with framedrops (do fix it though) but aliasng makes things look so damn bad really. I can imagine these things standing out more on my 65 inch compared to a much smaller screen. HDR making shit so dark really doesn't help either. I'm gonna try playing with HDR off today.

Cant wrap my head around the ever decreasing circles, Ive been killed more by being out of the zone than other players, lol. I can never work out where the fuck I am on the map.
I really need to wacth some tips and hints videos on YouTube or something.

Wouldn't do a difference when it's quite blatant that the outrage about the game is just a facade for console wars and not about they needing a better picture.
Game could run at 60fps at 4K with no dips and graphics that beat Horizon: Zero Dawn and these people would be shitting on it. Yeah, the narrative is obvious.
Hey, I'm on your site with what you think about aliasing, even before we had this gen, around 2011 and 2012, I was so sick of the last gen because of 720p and bad aliasing, even with this gen, you still had it and it was one of the last big problems this gen still had and now, super sampling almost eliminates it completely. I still strongly disagree to the marked things in the quote. It has still a bit aliasing when you look at stuff far way, but in 90% of all times, the picture quality is fantastic, you are just really, really exaggerating here. I also have a 60 inch TV. If you have a 4K TV, you notice it more, of course, I'm just talking about 1080p super sampled quality.
And I strongly disagree with "on screenshots you can pretty much never really see aliasing" because this is just wrong, completely. If aliasing is there, you see it on a screenshot as much as you see it in motion, there is literally, no difference. So what you see on my screenshots is what you see in the game and if you have aliasing on 2-3 objects, you still would see it like here on the metal stuff in the back:

I'll get back to you on that later today. I'm turning off HDR because except for the nice looking sky it doesn't do it any favors. It's just that after so many very clean games on X it's disappointing to see the aliasing and to me it was immediately noticeable. Watch this video from 3:35, they say it as well.

And in the later shot where they slowly rotate the view you can spot the flickering on the X side, now i am watching this o my Surface at the moment and i can only notice it a little. When i watched it on my TV yesterday it was rather bad, which makes sense. I don't think i'm exegerrating when i say i don't find the anti-aliasing too great and definitely needs to be looked at.
One great moment yesterday. Teammate and I searched a place with three houses. We parked our car on the east side behind one of the houses. While we searched a house, we were shot at from an unknown position by a sniper. We layed low for a minute, and then I spotted one guy in the forest west from there. We jumped out of the house, moved to our car and got out of there as fast as possible.
Got my first chicken dinner last night! The end game was not... That adrenaline-heavy, kinda embarrassing actually, for all individuals involved. I have linked the clips below.

You see jaggies on screenshots. But jaggies aren't that prevalent on games really with some form of AA.
Its the shimmer/flicker of distant objects that really shows up in movement. And for me is the worst aliasing artifact there is. It is prevalent in PUBG. It reminds me of BF4 on the OG XB1. But it is an annoyance more than anything else.
