what timeline are we even living in anymore, this actually kind of looks good https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjN2QIjmzy4
Oh hey yeah I remember seeing this once, thought it looked actually kinda interesting. Plus it being free means aint no real harm in trying it I guess.
Quite frankly, PUBG is so stoic and bog-standard that there's nothing about it that stands out, contrary to what their lawyers claimed. Even Call of Duty's Blackout has zombies, quirky weapons, buttery smooth gameplay (10 tics aside) and so forth. Having a free or cost-efficient BR game with something to make it stand out is already a leg up on PUBG, and having solid gameplay only helps considering that even now PUBG is pretty fucking janky to the point that vehicles are wholly expected to explode the moment they hit any bump.
True, the matter that they can just glance at all the 'suggestion' topics that're thrown at PUBG and say 'fuck it why not' when it comes to adding features that'll separate them from the source of the clone itself is pretty strong in itself too, since as long as they do it at least semi-competently basically means they'll likely see some revenue as well
I remember playing this before it was on Steam on some Thai or something client and I thought it was pretty cool, it kind of had a better UI than PUBG and also felt like it moved much quicker. Unfortunately you can't play it on that anymore and the Steam version isn't available in Europe, I'd quite like to play it again, seems like they added quite a bit of cool stuff.
the last time I heard and seen this game, it is... nothing like this?
gave it a go, unfortunately only NA and asian servers but asian servers seemed to be pretty smooth from australia (maybe 130-160ms). game plays very well, shooting feels okay, snowboarding is fun as fuck and the time to kill is good (slightly longer than pubg). managed to hop on the chopper with 8 kills. funny enough the game appears to be built on the same engine as pubg mobile (also made by tencent).
I just tried it. Matches feel like they're much shorter ("feel like") and I'm generally not annoyed when I lose. It's some nice fun.
If in Europe you can connect to a US VPN, enter 'steam://install/755790' in the browser to start installing then disconnect again. After that you only need the VPN for Steam to actually let you launch the game and can turn it off ingame. Technically against Steam's TOS but I used to use VPNs to get around staggered launches and region restrictions for F2P and have never heard of anyone being banned from Steam for it.
Its a good game, been playing it for a while on Garena and now Steam. The new gear really makes for some memorable and crazy stuff (those ski lifts can be shot down fyi for hilarious effect when there is a whole squad in one).
Forgot to mention the player customisation. To my knowledge this is the only battle royale with such detailed customisation. And the spawning is really neat too. At the start everyone picks a map square to spawn on and you can see where everyone else is starting but only one player may select the same square
Yeah I'll probably just wait for the European version if it's really coming within a month like Tencent said.
Correct me if I'm wrong but at the moment isn't it just "asian dude's face #1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6"? Anyway, just won my first match. The game is much less frustrating to play because there isn't a long drawn-out sequence of a parachute drop, you spawn directly on the ground. The way areas close up is a little bit like radical heights, it's done by sectors. The final showdown is really awesome, I really like the fact that it's an actual epilogue and it's a frantic race to see who can climb on the chopper first. It's also nice that up to 4 people can board. That in and of itself sets it apart from the rest. I also like that you can have 3 full weapons equipped. The best though is the streamlined inventory system. There are no boosters, you can heal up to max just with med items. Attachments are smart when switching weapons, they'll try to stay on your new weapon or be put in your inventory system. When you pick up attachments, it'll try to slot into your current weapon and if it can't it'll try your other equipped weapons. You can also slot two sights per weapon and switch between them with a hotkey. Basically you spend less time managing inventory and more time actually playing. Combat is a bit stiff but I prefer it over PUBG. Here's some footage of my win: http://webm.land/media/40Kn.webm
nope its got slider customisation as well as click and drag like fallout 4's character creator.
So there can be four winners? That's a really interesting dynamic, reminds me of that fake reality show game that was a big streamer fad a couple of months back.
That was surprisingly fun, I won my first game as well with 2 of us escaping. Really tense after the helicopter came down, two people got killed climbing the ladder and I got shot while climbing it but managed to get in. Can you be killed while sitting in the helicopter? It also has that interesting thing of if there were only 4 people left you could all technically just hop in and win but you know someone is gonna start shooting. Like I sat in the helicopter for a full 3-4 minutes while 2 guys battled it out when they both could have just truced and left.
AFAIK no, you're invincible once you're fully boarded.

i really like the fact that the match doesn't end with a kill, you still have to board the chopper
Call of Duty has an advantage that the handling of weapons has been a staple of the series for a long time now, so if you take that and mix it with Battle Royale, the handling is going to be the best part by default, so getting the rest right won't be as bad, if the handling is shit however, then it's a task and half.
Yeah if the core gameplay isn't good, forget about the rest.
Man, this was the game 5 months ago: https://youtu.be/JozyWtqVDZw literal pubg clone but MAN has the game changed for the better since then
My first win I didn't even get a single kill, just ninjad into the chopper while everyone else was trying to shoot each other It's pretty good
trash game
a bit more footage, including a duos win. this game has an avalanche trigger on the map lol https://youtu.be/q3mabXl9wfA
