Playerunknown's Battlegrounds

[The3rdWalker 1,271]

I know that it's a persona, but to play with 3 huge streamers and have that happen is kind of fucked up. I saw the video of the incident. However, if this is a permanent ban PU needs to chill out a little bit- perma ban for one team kill is insane. 

[J4MES OX4D 10,025]

They should probably just remove TKing altogether and get rid of that headache for players and their report feature.  Having to sift through thousands of reports of this is not really viable and the hassle of users being killed deliberately for no reason just harms the experience for those who just want to squad up but can concoct a team at that time. 

[GazzaGarratt 11,037]

That exchange from Dr. Disrespect and PlayerUnknown prompted PU to write a long twitter response as it hit an underlying emotional point:

 

A short note about what happened between myself & @DrDisrespect earlier today...

So today I created a little bit of a shitstorm on Twitter. 

Before I begin, I have to say that I do enjoy the character Guy has created with DrDisrespect. Hell, I am even part of the Slick Daddy Club! I understand that he likes to talk shit, and I was right there with him until that one tweet.

I was told that I should have taken The Docs threat of violence as a joke. So now I will try explaining why I took this tweet seriously and tweeted out the response I did.

Story time!

When I was in college, many years ago, I had a disagreement with my flat mate. Instead of talking it out like men, he decided to get aggressive and while I was backing away from him, he kicked me in the chest and put my head through a plate glass door. Thankfully, I don’t suffer from any ill effects due to this experience. 

The point of that story is to attempt to explain why I think even the threat of violence is not something that should be joked about. Given my experience in college, and the fact that The Doc’s threat, even as a joke, synced up closely to a bad experience I endured, it could have brought up bad memories, triggered a panic attack or had other consequences The Doc might not have intended when composing the tweet.

All I ask from anyone that reads this is to consider that your words, however flippant they may be, could have unintended effects on those reading them.

Tldr - You can be a cunt up to a point. Just appreciate what shit people may go through before throwing a proverbial cuntball to them.

Sorry, but what a fucking pussy that guy is.    I'm calling total bullshit. It's the internet, it's not someone you live with who is directly threatening you with violence.  You can't draw any comparisons with that and claim it might bring about panic attacks.  No, you are a pussy, end of story.

[crispymorgan 1,054]

Sounds like someone should stay off the internet.

So I honestly agree with you on this. Unfortunately you have to keep your personal life, or bad childhood out of the way when you are running a potential cult hit of a video game. This was an un-needed story/ move that shouldn't have been shared.

Yep, pretty weak.

Smacks of someone taking something badly and then realising they've over reacted and tried to limit the damage.

Stick to making the game better dude[emoji5]

A funny and interesting look at the 'Stream Sniping' craze

 

[J4MES OX4D 10,025]

PUBG has passed the 1m concurrent players on at a time on top of the 10m copies sold

This game's starting to look really nice!

Download Fortnite.   It's basically a PUBG reskin.

I played a bit of Fortnite on PC. Could be a laugh with friends but it's no way near as intense as PUBG...and shooting at distance is lame. It's closer to H1Z1 in how it plays.

Fortnite looks a bit too cartoony for my liking. Does seem polished but I prefer the military backdrop of PUBG.

 

Currently just gone 9am in the UK and there's 1.46m in PUBG with 478k in DOTA 2 as the next best. Bear in mind that this is off-peak time in Europe too. Crazy figures. Considering this is a full price early access game that is quite demanding to run also; this could be heading as one of the biggest brands in gaming right now and it's not slowing down.

That's not exactly how it seems. The developer is talking to Sony about the release on PS4 as with other platforms to get it across as many as they can.

 

This is coupled with the 'agreement' with Microsoft to bring this game exclusively to Xbox. Its never been confirmed as an exclusive even after months when it was confirmed Microsoft have offered their services to support the game development.

 

Behind the scenes there's a struggle gping on at Microsoft because they need more exclusives for the Xbox One X and they only have 1/2 titles which isn't enough. They are trying to push PUBG into an exclusive deal, which is still likely btw, but it might only mean its got it for 6 months before it features on PS4. Good news how I see it.

 

 

Regardless, Fortnite isn't that bad for a free game. It isn't anyway near perfect but its free and I've played it the last few days because of the game mode 'Battle Royale' alone.

 

It won't be long until this game mode is swept into AAA titles as they'd be missing a trick here.

[The3rdWalker 1,271]

The Fortnite Battle Royal is actually really well done, which is no surprised because they were the ones who worked on Player Unknown's Battlegrounds. Fortnite just does't have the intense feeling to me like PUBG does. 

[GazzaGarratt 11,037]

Nearly 2 million concurrent playerson Steam now. Part of me thinks if I was the developer, I wouldn't be going exclusive with Microsoft. I think if they delay themselves further into the PS4 market then they'll lose out to Fortnite and other games that would have had the time to develop this game mode into their game.
