Best game I’ve ever played!

I do like the bare concept of the game. 100 people drop into a map scattered with gear and the name of the game is find gear and eliminate all the other players until there is only 1 remaining. The "Winner Winner Chicken Dinner" at the end of a game is also pretty nice. The game is quite good visually. I run a GTX 1050 on a Dell Inspiron 7000 and have no issues with the games sounds or graphics. The UI is quite easy to navigate too. The weapons are realistic and gun damage is pretty consistant to each particular weapon. Bullet drop adds an extra factor into shooting as you cannot shoot someone from 500m away just by aiming at them unless you change your zeroing distance. The game is also great for people to spectate too. Twitch streamers have blown up with popularity while playing this game. Not to mention the E-Sports community that is building in popularity too.


After playing over 100 hours of PUBG, I can say that from a technical standpoint, this game needs alot of work on the back end. Server stutter is a real big problem. You get behind a tree, you've been there for at least half of a second and then you pop back out from behind the tree because the server didn't catch up. Not to mention the irritation of not being able to use voice chat because chinese players leave an "open mic" on all the time and all you hear is the background noise from their gaming cafe they are in. Like 250 voice all yelling at once in a foriegn language is rather annoying, so I reccomend just muting the "All" voice chat all together. Another BIG issue they seem to have is with hackers. Alot of American players are calling for a "Region Lock" of the chinese players to keep them in their own servers, and I can't say that I blame them. I'm still not sure why they decided to allow players to play on other countries servers. It isn't good for connection quality and not knowing the language just makes for a bad play environment. The hackers jump from region to region for reasons I do not know, but I do know that PUBG does not seem to take this issue as seriously as it's playerbase.

Yes, the majority of cheats come out of China, but that doesn’t mean all Chinese players are cheaters. This idea that just because you’ve got a few bad eggs, you’ve gotta ban a whole country is a bit reactive.

No one is claiming that ALL chinese players are cheater but, from my expirience, of the chinese players that are not cheating, they are screaming in broken english about how america should die, and that how "China Number One".

Another issue I have with the game is that you cannot add people to your steam friends list after playing a random que duo/squad game. If I meet someone, and they are a decent person and a good player, I'd like to add them to my friends list, but I can't within the game. I have to ask them for their steam ID, tab out (which often crashes the game all together) and open steam to add them. It's rather more complicated than it needs to be.





PUBG is a visually stunning game that still has quite a few issues to resolve if it wants to stay at the pinnacle of steams Battle Royal charts. With free games like Fortnite allowing players a better expirience for free, I'd say the only thing keeping players to PUBG is it's realisting look and strategy. If PUBG could fix the issues I've seen and heard about, they could be a real contender to be at the top for a long long time. I don't see how a company worth BILLIONS, with a B, can still be facing these kinds of issues when there are games out there that are far less valuable in terms of how much money they make and how many people they have working for them making games with a better expirience on the technical end and clearly listen to what their players want. Just seems like Bad Form. All in all as of now, I'd give the game a 6/10 and would recommend it to people who would sacrifice overall expirience for visual realism.
