Finally got that first Solo Chicken Dinner. What a stress inducing rush that was. Was an awesome game regardless though got seven kills, ran someone over, blew someone up in a car got some headshots and got the final kill with a grenade with like 25% health left. A game hasn't given me that big of a rush in a long ass time.

Congrats! Yeah, the rush of adrenaline this game gives you when you are one step away from winning and then pulling it off... it's one of the most intense things I've ever played. When I get a good result the tension is so high I usually need a few minutes to relax and get back in shape to play anything else.

The rate at which BP increases for a loot crate is outrageous. In the several hours I've played, with one chicken dinner, one top three, and two top tens, I've earned two low texture pairs of pants. Now you're telling me my next chance for a baseball cap will cost 2800? Get fucking fuck out!

Besides being a pathetically low incentive to keep playing, why in the deepest pit of hell would anyone purchase a PUBG loot box with real bucks?

The crate price resets every Monday! So it'll be back down to 700 again come Monday. I only ever buy the crates at 700 because it's the same stuff in all of them.

It's paradox and shady. They don't want you to grind for them but please, real money stuff, pay as much as you can.
It's all cosmetic stuff. If you want to pay to get more shirts and boots, do it. If not, build up your BP and buy one or two chests a week. No one is making you buy the chests above 1400.

Omfg I was doing so well. Multiple kills and while I was looting the game crashed. But the game actually puts you right back in the match if you start it up again.

How fucking awesome is that? How come not one other online game has this? Seriously impressed with that. Everything was intact when I came back.

It's actually awesome that you can get back into a crashed game. It's happened to me twice and both times I was back in shortly and hardly skipped a beat.

Am I missing something here? I'm picking up guns and ammo but it won't let me reload the ammo into the gun no matter what button I press. Like I have a gun with 0, 45 showing up and nothing is letting me actually put ammo in it.

You have to hold X to reload. I would suggest looking up the controls, since they are actually quite complicated.

Yeah that is a remedy for a game breaking bug I would say. With any other game you're just shit out of luck really and here you can get right back into the action. Same would happen if my connection were to disconnect for a few minutes?

So apparently disabling the game DVR feature on both the X and the S is showing noticeable frame rate increases according to Reddit......

I'm fine with escalating costs, just...escalating to 7000 is ridiculous.

On PC you can sell your loot, on Xbox One you can't. It seems like the developers didn't think about this when porting the game, hopefully they'll change it. The prices for loot boxes shoot reset every Monday.

It's not surprising, the port reeks of a rush job. Should have been delayed by months, but I'm sure Microsoft needed them to hit before Christmas. Oh well, it'll all get worked out in the end, just some bumpy first days.

I quite like solo in this, despite hating it in other BR games. Only played 3 games though so might be a bit early to say how much.
Being able to rejoin after a crash is great idea too, 2/3 games crashed, but wasn't a problem thanks to that.

Is there anyway to have ADSing not be toggle too? I couldn't find the settings in game and forgot to check at the menu. If you can't, I think I'm out until it's added.

So the bigger question is did you get a chicken dinner?

No way to customize controls unfortunately. Still think its such an odd design decision but I've just kind of gotten used to it for now it's tolerable at least.

Feels good, picking up the m24 was a wise choice, playing tactically and flanking the final circle was a good move, lots of people just fighting to keep tabs on.

Got to the final 4 people in duos in small circle and my friend and I were fortunate to be in a small hut with good cover. The other two guys were both on they're own so we had the numbers advantage too....when...all of a sudden my friend spots one of them and runs out of our hut despite me yelling at him to stick together and let them come to us. We finished 3rd as I got killed trying to revive his ass.

I'm going to drive over to his house now and choke him out. lol

Ah, well hopefully custom controls is added quick. I think I'll hold off playing for a while. I can probably get use to it too, but I don't really want to, as it'll just fuck me up in other FPS. And if they add analog stick crouching too, I'd probably enjoy it far more than just forcing myself to get use to it.

Thanks for the reply!

Wow, you can actually see the world when you parachute.
I'm going to have to try this... I assumed all the console functionality would be in the locked off "reserved" part of the systems resources and so make no difference.

Other things,: ItsBobbyDarin that car chase sequence is amazing. Love the way you finished it!

Holding y to put guns away definitely makes you sprint faster. There was a post on reddit with the various speeds in metres per second.

Man having a blast with this game. Played a few rounds with my brother when a car pulled up to the area we where in. They went into a house we already looted(shut the door as we left). We snuck round and stole there car. They come running out shooting at us as the blue swallowed them. Sometimes its better to run.

Despite its flaws its still fun.

Two buddies and I have been sitting in the lobby to find a squad game for 10 minutes with no success.

Solo matchmaking is instant. What gives?

EDIT: So we finally get in a game. One friend hates this game. Will probably go for a refund tonight. The other guy is iffy on it but is leaning toward refunding it as well. I join and try to teach them stuff to hopefully make it fun. First thing I do is find a pistol, crouch in a corner to reload it...and a table loads in, trapping me in the corner. I cannot move. Hardly the good impression I was trying to make.

Would you guys be interested in a sort of leaderboard of sorts for Chicken Dinners for the thread?

I thought it was a somewhat common feature? I lost connection in Gears 4 yesterday and jumped right back in.

Hahaha. That's awesome. Why engage and waste ammo or medical supplies if it's not needed.

Keep the stories coming people. Love hearing all of these.

Is the audio this unbalanced on the PC version, your in the bunker and you can hear vehicles and air strikes clear as day. They need to put some working into the audio tech as its hard to tell where shit is coming from and i have a 5.1 system

The game is roughly the PC version from back in April or so with the addition of vaulting. It's a work in progress and I would expect the ability to sell off items in February or so.

You gotta use headphones.

Speakers aren't optimal for surround accuracy.

I'll have to disagree here. It really depends on your setup. I have a pretty decent receiver and speakers and can tell exactly where the sounds (gunfire, footsteps) are coming from. Headphones can be great for hearing all the action, but to say that speakers with discrete sound channels are not optimal is just wrong.

TV audio, HTIB or soundbar setup might not cut it, but good surround sound speakers with a good dedicated receiver can't be beat.

Went into squad mode. Got matched with four randoms I think. As I was parachuting down. Game crashed. Hopped back in, but the map was closing in, and time was running out, and the circle was far. Started moving trying to find a car. Ending up running for 3 mins, found a Jeep. My teammates were still waaaay outside the circle fooling around. I turned my Jeep around, picked them all up.

Then, a dune buggy came out of no where and started shooting us. I went after it. Bang bang bang. What a chase. It was awesome!

One of my teammates died on the way. We found another enemy and we all hopped out. He took out my two guys (we were all weak I think), but I shot him and knocked him out. Then I preceded to revive both my teammates, who stole my kill, and then killed me. I guess because I was looting the guys body too? :( feels bad man.
