>this is what Sup Forums believes

>PC gamers aren't weak minded sheep who only play FOTM shit
>this is what OP believes

it's a genuinely good game, you delusional fucks
put the fucking autism helmet down for a day and y'all'd realize that

>i-it's just flavor of the month!!!! Trust me! :(((((

>>PC gamers aren't weak minded sheep
consolefags literally pay to play online, even in P2P games and games that don't use Sony or Xbox servers at all

Doesn't change the fact that the game doesn't innovate in any way whatsoever. It's just another survival game that people will try and take seriously.

>ARK : Survival Evolved
>DayZ
>H1Z1
>Conan : Exiles
>7 Days to Die

All the same. Nothing much different. Time for a change.

It is actually pretty fun, just can't take it seriously. Optimization is a mess, though.
>s-stop playing on a toaster!
When I eat dinner, I usually watch some streamers. Their framerate is fine, but they still run into bad stuttering at parts. They all have like GTX 1080tis.

>twitch streaming numbers take a huge hit late august
>community continues to grow despite this

this KILLS the Sup Forums

It's actually a new genre because of the closing circle. There's no crafting or progression elements, so it's nothing like Ark or 7 Days to Die, at least.

>10 popular streamers stream it
>100k kids buy it
>it's a multiplayer game so they make sure all their friends come and play with them
>web forms and the network just grows

i swear you must be like 15 or 16 to think pubg is a good game

How much do you get paid for this? Honest question, I want to enter this business too

>click play and in a game with 100 people in seconds
Good enough for me, honestly. No more spending ten minutes looking for a Battlefield server or something.

>waaaah he's shilling waaaah

Every time.

The game is complete shit when you play by yourself
but squad is actually pretty interesting, its like a simplified arma

you were one of those smelly old fucks that would only play rogue because quake was for kids right

It's because PC's main audience are nothing but little kids.

Console is where the adults are and they dont buy trash like this.

Streaming is irrelevant. Battle royale is the hottest meme genre right now and PUBG is the newest out of like 5 or 6 of these games in the past year. I'm assuming this game must have a gimmick to it for it to be so popular. Is the gimmick that you pay full price for an unfinished game that still sells digital shirts for real life dollars?

Excellent b8

>another uninformed parrot comparing PUBG to ARK
at least do a tiny bit of research before shitting on something. maybe even buy the game and refund it if you genuinely don't enjoy it. you might even like it

The gimmick is that it's fun

Watched some gameplay of it and the game seems really dull. You have to go through like 5 minutes of setup just to get into a match, parachute to the map, and get some basic gear.
Then you gather some more gear in some boring house searching.
If you've managed to avoid getting blindsided by some other player proning in the grass outside, you get to fight people. If not, enjoy waiting another 5 minutes.

If you manage to win the match you generally seem to have opportunity to shoot at like 3 other players. And a match takes like a half hour. And fights seem to consist mostly of prone crawling and looking really hard for other prone crawlers. And chucking the occasional grenade randomly at where you think a prone crawler might be.

The Fortnite version of the game mode seems to be a bit more exciting.

going prone is a death trap 99% of the time. No wonder you die so much.

>75%+ players are bots

fortnite battle royal gonna be the f2p + console

There are streamers with tens and hundreds of THOUSANDS of followers. Many of which would happily buy a game for a chance to play with their favorite Internet personality. There's literally an entire culture based in Streamers and Youtubers.

>No wonder you die so much.
You clearly missed the part where I said
>Watched some gameplay of it
Which is odd because it's the first fucking thing I said.

it's f2p??? ooh man

3 days until it launches as a standalone from the base game.

Actually believing this

>Muh innovation

There is more value in polishing a good idea than there is in an innovative turd.

it's genuinely a fun game, what is so difficult to understand? because it's popular?

How many players does it have if you exclude China?

VIVON ZULUL

It doesn't look very fun to me. But I barely have the patience to wait between rounds in CS. I prefer deathmatch formats where you respawn immediately.

you must be a jelly CS:GO player

impatience is a sign of autism, you should make an appointment with your doctor immediately

There are more impatient normal people than there are impatient autists.

Pokemon go
Overwatch
Pubg

well I bought it because playing with friends is pretty fun, also I'm winning money thanks to the crates (which people are stupid enough to buy them)

>using some edgy concept art instead of a photo
How ugly is this guy?

He's a chubby balding numale with a beard to cover his weak chin.

Stop not believing what I believe in!

>licensing out 1-life death match
>people actually fell for it and paid him
I don't know which one is more disgusting

it's a game you can play with your friends and shoot people
it's that simple

Easiest game to farm market items on Steam.

How comes people only talk about how well the game is doing rather than the game itself?

People only talk about how well the game is doing rather than the game itself because it's so fucking boring.
