This shit is going to outsell every single major Japanese game this year combined and it has nowhere near the level of polish or thought put into game design as Jap games.

How do western developers do it?

well, Sup Forums?

Thank you

Youtubers

>there's going to be even more early access cash grabs because of PUBGs success

>Blaming PUBG for a problem that began years ago.
Cash grab games always flare up after a decent selling early acces game happens.

I'm actually kind of tempted to get this since it's so beloved.

I'm also glad it dethroned H1Z1 because those devs are fucking shit heads.

It's definitely doing better than Escape from Tarkov.

>yfw PUBG becomes GOTY instead of Zelda

PU isn't exactly someone I'd invite to board game night. He's kind of a high-and-mighty, no-fun-allowed cunt

We're at the point where these threads should be on /vg/.

>ebin fotm meme survival game

shit sells when people are stupid

when it was developed as twitch/let's play bait.

Japanese games don't have tension.

They don't understand how to have down time and build up the tension of an upcoming event.

Arma 3 does it even better than PUBG

>tfw i forgot botw even existed

/vg/ is for game discussion
Sup Forums is for funposting

Its competitive and you are not tied down to the games you start, even if you lose you cant INSTANTLY go to the next game.

Competitive games are the new shit. Its what everyone and their kids are playing and this is a competitive game that even casuals can play because quitting or playing bad has very little impact on anyone else.

All jap games are fucking rpg which nobody cares about anymore.

>PUBG
>competitive

Eh, it's too random to really be competitive. It's not so extreme that it's like a slot machine or anything, but there are a lot of random factors that are outside anybodies control which can seriously fuck you over or conversely you can get extremely lucky and breeze through most of the game.

Like, it's possible you'll get pistoled in the first 5 seconds after you land or you could get to the last 5 without so much as seeing a single other player

>too random
Why are they hosting a huge tourney for it then? *boom*

they can have a tourney for it if they want, but I agree with the other user that it's a highly luck-based game.

Every time somebody makes this thread and I see the comments, I can't help but feel like its filled to the brim with children.

dunno, why is there a candy crush game show?

This game is great. Thats how they do it.

This game is in beta now but I've barely seen any footage. Is it that bad?

I got pressured into getting it to play with a friend that I forgot is super annoying to play games with.

Never even played it with him.

people stopped caring about it when it was revealed to be just a f2p pvp game and not a spiritual successor to STALKER.

This game sure is popular all of a sudden.
what is it, in the top three games played on steam right now?
I think I saw a chart earlier of it beating csgo, a game I can't stand as it might as well be called counter-awp.

it's been one of the most popular Steam game for months now user, where have you been?

Maybe all these shill threads are helping. I'm probably gobs pick it up, looks fun m8

You can control these random risks. Going to hotspots and being sloppy with your deploy are what will get you pistolled at the start.

About everyone plays to kill other players or just try naked runs.

So are single player games going to die because of shit like this

So the one who controls Youtubers controls the world?

...

You're equating sales numbers as a measure of worth, which it is only in money.
The value of a video game is subjective and if a lot of people buy something does not mean it holds value for everyone.

>not a spiritual successor to STALKER
This is all I fucking want. Why is this so hard for developers to understand?

Survivarium was meant to be but it seems more F2P cashgrab from Stalker fans.

Yah some of the replies really give off the impression of underage kids who watch streams.

It's amazing how glitchy the game is while still being massively popular.

When videos like this first started appearing, I would've never thought the game would be this big.

We quantify it in terms of money because it's a significant objective value of which subjective opinion can't quantify as such..

I knew there was going to be a
>pubg
>competitive
post as soon as I saw the word competitive, but that's actually a decent point; I was expecting something about how it doesn't have a ranked mode or a league surrounding it so it's not "competitive"

You're right, I've had rounds that get decided in the first minute because me or the other guy found a pistol while the other one didn't. I've even had a round of duo where me and a buddy get sickles at the start, then a car drives up and they blast us with a shotgun and AK.

it's at a similar level of "competitive" as games like poker. you can't guarantee a win in PUBG but you can certainly affect your winrate.

you probably know this but it does have MMR

>you probably know this but it does have MMR
Yeah, but I meant to say that even that doesn't matter. The game is competitive by the very nature of its game mechanics. It doesn't need leagues, MMR, or a tournament to be a competitive game. The entire point of every match is to try to be #1.

They made a game that is fun
your thread is KUSO

The one who controls the world controls Youtube.

arent the devs korean?

>*boom*

I thought summer was already over.

>western developers
It's a Korean game

YES
Finally someone who isn't a retard. Playerunknown is the lead director but the developers are all Korean. I can't believe Sup Forums is so stupid, this board used to be way more knowledgeable

I bet you 10:1 that the OP knew this

PUBG is endemic of everything wrong with modern gaming.

Aside from "early access with microtransactions" (which doesn't actually tell anyone anything about the GAMEPLAY), I don't see how

>Persona 5 released to critical acclaim, immediately forgotten

Why are Jap devs so bad at making games that people actually want to play? Meanwhile some indie dev in a garage makes a game that has broken all the records on steam and shows no sign of slowing down

The difference between Western and Japanese games is that people actually buy the former. Look at any annual, global top 10-selling video games lists, and you'll find nine or ten of those games were made in the West.

My dick hasn't forgotten Nier: Automata

I downloaded PublicRestroomBattlezone expecting to hate it but it's I'm credibly compelling and strangely addictive.

I'm hoping they get rid of the early access jank feel sometime though. And fix the servers so I don't lag out every 3 games.

Sales are the only objective thing you can point to though.

Everything else is opinion.

>korean game
>western

>everyone except me is retarded
>my mom is right, I am cool

Korea is an American colony you twat

Does csgo still exist

I didn't know about this. thought it was made by americans or something
Well the game is still shit

>ban people for honking car horns whether they are stream sniping or not
it's going to bite them in the ass

It's actually a Korean game. Player Unknown is just the director or something, a bunch of Koreans are actually developing.

>indie
>it's literally one of the bigger mmo makers in korea

South Korea doesn't have an army of dick suckers like Japan though, nor do they dump out anywhere near the same amount of garbage.

t. retard

this is small time considering the trash western makes

I'd assume because most of the glitches are at least funny. Glitches like items not loading or being unable to move would hamper the fun, but a car randomly flipping around at least is a funny glitch.

Sometimes you'll pick up your first gun and your character's hands will be positioned as if they're holding it but the model isn't there and you can't reload or shoot it. You have to press X to switch to melee then switch back, but this bug will easily kill you in an early fight.
I'd say it happens about 1/100 games, really annoying though.

I mean if you ignored the thread on Sup Forums, i dont think that counts as immediately forgotten.
your post is like saying pubg arent popular because i don't care about it.

Population size

Good. Japs needs to suffer for their scam mobile games.

The whole industry should burn to the fucking ground for the monstrosity that they've created.

most of those are fun and good games

What's your SteamId?

why do you ask?
y-you're not some H1Z1 dev, are you?

nevermind then

well, why are you asking in the first place?

I feel strange just giving out my steam if I don't know why you're asking.

I don't get the appeal of the game. You spend 10 mins finding people and you can just get killed from nowhere and then you have to start a entirely new match.

not even a sucessor
just make a remaster with better textures and an upgraded engine
FUCK

this guy knows

>How do western developers do it?
By making a fun game.

twitch.tv

guerilla marketing through youtube and twitch "celebrities"
>tempted to get this since it's so beloved.
YOU
ARE
A
FUCKING
IDIOT

It's pretty fun OP I just wish it didn't run like dogshit.

As to your question, mutliplayer shooters are in vogue right now and Japan doesn't really make multiplayer shooters. Well there's Splatoon I suppose, but that's... different.

Bluehole is from Korea you retard

Western devs have to come up with unique ideas to be successful. Japanese devs just have to put a new coat of paint on the same old JRPG which everyone has played a thousand times over, weebs will keep buying it though because it's Japanese.

I just looked that up, what the actual fuck.

Completely different audience. Japan doesn't really like competitive shooters. It just so happens competitive shooters are liked by western casual babbies, so it sells like pancakes.

They targeted the 13 year old twitch demographic who are too young to remember being fucked by early access games in the past. Expect more of this shit ad nauseum.

It's not like he can do anything with your steamid unless you have personal information on your community page.
You ruined your chance user, it's time to move on.

but what did I even ruin?

probably was trying to get my tight eBhole.

>competitive shooters are liked by casuals

Weebshits being retarded as per usual.

>western
>game is made by the same fucks who made TERA

>Not CoD or Fifa
Keep on dreaming.

>Competitive shooter
>Casual

Get the fuck outta here.

just started playing and I gotta say this game runs like absolute dogshit.

and the gun fights feel like more of a contest of luck rather than a measure of skill. 5/10. dropped and refunded.

The gunplay's definitely way different than other games. It feels clunky, but this IS a dev coming from Arma mods so that's not surprising.
