It's actually beating PUBG in popularity

>It's actually beating PUBG in popularity.

Guess Bluehole's incompetence finally caught up with them.

based

Being free2play and on PS4 probably helped as well.

They need to add first person mode and improve the gun mechanics.

>Guess Bluehole's incompetence finally caught up with them.

It shouldn't suprise anyone when the lead developer doesn't know how to program a square

>Paladins Battlegrounds still doesn't have a release date

I love how no one even heard about Fortnite until the PUBG dudes started complaining about them

>twitch views is a measurement of popularity
kys

That might ruin the feel. People seem to gravitate towards battle royal not just because its f2p but also because the game has a "less serious tone"

The devs said First Person wont happen but they are reworking gunplay

pubg is pretty fun though...when it works properly

Honestly for a trash sub genre like Battle Royale. Yes it is. For any other genre it just means more normies are watching. But these games are so shallow and shitty littered with fake hype its hard to believe its not so.

>Still garbage positional audio
>Still RNG gunplay with no mechanical skill required besides rough tracking of players
>Wall spam still is unlimited and instantaneous
>Shield balance is still garbage compared to pubg's armour system
>Getting an early RPG is basically a free win

Optimization is good, servers are better. That's about it.

PUBG is overrated trash, so not surprising

>a free game is more popular than a $30 game
>in a genre that panders to subhumans and underages
wew fucking lad

>>Getting an early RPG is basically a free win
wut

RPG's are slow as balls and all it takes is one wood wall to stop it

but I agree with your other points

Both games are fucking trash

>release game on the most popular console
>popularity suddenly rises
No brainer. Bluehole will never amount to anything until they are out of MS's timed exclusivity.

>RPGs are slow as balls
In the early moments of the game when players are far more aggressive and close range, not an issue
>Wood wall stops it
Which is why a player with an RPG always will ramp up above that player.

>release an absolutely horrible update that has your entire community up in arms telling you to fix your shit because it's THAT bad
>lol let's release a battle royale mode and let paladins proper die
Hi Rez is fucking astounding.

What horrible update?

>Brainlet who clearly doesn't understand the game tries to give balance opinions because he lost a few times playing in a day and thinks the game is shit

Positional audio is dog shit, but the gunplay obviously requires skill and aiming. Almost all close quarters battles are decided in a single hit from flicks that require large horizontal and vertical motions. "Wall spam" is a core part of the game and a large contributing factor to the large skill cap of the game. You being horrible at doing it doesn't somehow make it bad, it means engagements are not decided by RNG but by skill, because you never have the "the circle is forcing me into an open field" problem. Shields are great and combined with walls give you lots of options to deal with longer engagements making fights true test of skill, and if you think the RPG is overpowered you are just trash. A shotgun is better than it 90% of the time.

OB64 as it's lovingly referred to.

>Close range is not an issue

Shotguns kill in a single hit and are hitscan, they beat RPG's.

>Will ramp up

You can also ramp up, if you double stairs it's difficult for them to kill you with a RPG. If they break your stairs, you can wood above your head if you actually know how to build. In all this time, you can also get under their stairs and they cannot hit you any longer.

>Shotguns kill in a single hit
Which means nothing if they've got height advantage because you won't have an angle on them
>You can also ramp up
Which means nothing because if you meet them at best you'll be lucky if you shotgun them dead before the RPG connects and kills you
>You can also get under their stairs
At which point they jump and shoot down and you're fucked.

Who cares about popularity if it's made up of a bunch of sonybros and toasterfags who can't play pubg?

Just from talking to normalfags who have access to both, pubg is by far the more popular.

>Which means nothing if they have a height advantage

The entire game is built around height advantages. Height advantage with a shotgun is guaranteed one hit kill, don't let them get a height advantage retard.

>Before RPG connects and kills you

RPG is a projectile. It's also slow. Shotgun is hitscan.

A shotgun is faster than a RPG. If it isn't close enough for you to one hit kill with, then you can make a wall. RPG has a long reload time, you can immeditely double wall, put stairs behind the wall, and now you can have a height advantage. If they immeditely build stairs, like I said you can already double stairs and now they cannot instantly fuck you.

>At which point they jump and shoot you

Everything is saying is truly just exposing you have no idea how the game works. If you are under their stairs how can they even immediately know you are there? The angles don't work. Also, you can build over your head so you cannot be shot from above. You can literally build two flights of stairs, one below you, and one above you, to not get shot from above with low effort in this game. Go watch anybody who actually is good at the game like Ninja, Deaquan or Myth and see how insanely naive you are about the mechanics.

>stopped the bleeding player count
>more concurrent players the before
Lorez win again

>Everything is saying is truly just exposing you have no idea how the game works
It's a 3P game. It's easy to see people from obscure angles.

>You can build over your head
Which again doesn't matter for a fucking RPG because he can shoot off to either side. You need full coverage to ensure the splash won't hit you

Again. If you have an RPG all you need is a ramp and a jump key and you've won any early game engagement.

I don't like the building shit. Because 90% of the time the winning team are gonna be the ones who correctly guessed the final location and set up shop there.

this

PUBGs target audience if about 100 million good gaming pcs, and 30 million xboxes

Fortnite target audience is 2 billion decent normal computers, 80 million sonybros and 30 million xboxes. It's also free.

No surprise it's more popular, doesn't mean most the people playing it actually prefer it.

I've never played it and never will but as someone with way too much time in PUBG I already prefer it, that said, I hope it all burns to the ground and everyone involved dies of cancer

>obscure angles
>Directly under and behind you

Lol okay bro.

>He can shoot off to either side

Again, you don't understand how the game works. If he is above you, he cannot "shoot off to either side." Stay bad at the game senpai.

>reddit spacing
checks out

>He cannot shoot off to either side
Of course he can, it's called jumping. Just walk to the edge of the ramp and jump and you can shoot over the sides.

Like holy shit how bad are you at this game?

>reddit spacing

Nice meme friend! I saw someone use that before, never got the chance to use it myself though.
