phil bottle 9,589 Posted October 10, 2017 Author Share Posted October 10, 2017 Other firms doing the battle royale may be on sticky ground legally but who knows...From what I understand, playerunknown (aka Brendan greene) has some sort of 'right' to this game mode.I first came across this mode in Arma 2, and then Arma 3. Free mods that Brendan created.When H1Z1 adopted the format as an addition to their game, they used Brendan as a consultant. The Fornite version seems to say that Brendan has no claim to it, which is interesting.I know nothing of the law around these things.Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. It's money. PC will drive this game due to the ease of updates and then making money through LANS as an eSport (Although PUBG is an awful eSport to watch) They don't care about losing out Sony because of how restrictive they are with updates, etc. i7 7700k, 16GB RAM, GEFORCE 1080, 240GB SSHD, 2TB SSD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've already sold about 80 quid's worth of virtual clothing which has paid for the game and given me a huge profit and seen Bluehole and Valve take a cut too. I don't like cases but when you earn them for free by playing the game and have some idiots willing to spend hundreds on looking like further idiots in-game; I'll gladly take their money for my Steam wallet!

Hang on, so you're telling me you play the game, get loot boxes, obtain virtual non-essential in-game attire, then you sell it off to randomers that want to buy those fetching pink jeans?This is ridiculous.

This is ridiculous. People are selling vitual coats for nearly $600 and if you look at the buy orders; they are willing to spend $400 so if someone lists their item that meets a buy order; it sells immediately http://steamcommunity.com/market/listings/578080/PLAYERUNKNOWN'S Trenchcoat This case is listed for $1800 http://steamcommunity.com/market/listings/578080/PLAYERUNKNOWN SET with buy orders of $1700 at the time of writing this. The developers can easily make $50-200 on one transaction like this for simply receiving a cut. It's insane really but this is what gaming has become. I can't complain entirely as I am able to make a few quid a week on vitual crap and it's just purely cosmetics but at the same time I find it pretty ludicrous.

The3rdWalker 1,263 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 It's amazing. We all know gamers want cosmetics, this is a great system. The crates you buy with in game currency that is free and if you get something rare you put that bad boy on the Steam marketplace. I mean Fortnight had those insane pack systems to buy if you wanted. A buddy of mine bought the $300 version of the game. i7 7700k, 16GB RAM, GEFORCE 1080, 240GB SSHD, 2TB SSD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Directional sound is probably another but still needs some work on PUBG. Fortnite also bizzarely allows for base building on the fly which is a strange inclusion especially when you can generate cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil bottle 9,589 Posted October 12, 2017 Author Share Posted October 12, 2017 I'm in favour of base building but not when it takes a few shots ro knock it all down. But yeah its a different mechanic and a major difference between both games. Fuck knows how I left it out!

If someone is shooting at you head on, you can spawn an instant wall and then keep on building so the opponent can get remotely close to you. It would be fine in an open survial sandbox mode but for BR; it's a really strange implementation especially in how it can impact gameplay.

The3rdWalker 1,263 Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 I recently sold the Twitch Prime bundle on the marketplace for a little over $26. I also managed to get a tracksuit from a Gamescom chest and the jacket alone is selling for $21.60. I love this marketplace. I have almost $50 for a game, pretty dope.

I had a disappointing week case-wise but still made a collective £12. That can go towards AC:Origins. Proving to be a good earner this.

This type of game mode would signficantly benefit from more maps sooner rather than later. It can make such a difference as playing Fortnite can get a little stale when you get to know the map very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
