most of us have won our first chicken dinner in the first 20-50h of play, to be generous

I suck at video games, and I have like 5-6 wins in 80h or so

Dan is at 100

Got mine literally in my 3rd match the first time i played. I currently have an hour playing time in Steam. Just gotta avoid the carnage and take out the stragglers.

Brad interview was amazing. My favorite 1099 episode TBH. I could listen to Brad forever.

Rudds 4 life.

You're the best. Thanks, dude.

 

[VeryGooster]

I'm just being flippant. Got no issue with the design or how anybody plays the game. I actually wondered if PUBG scratches a SOCOM itch for people because that's often what this game reminds me of.

 

[Fireblend]

...I kind of want to boot up XCOM again after watching that first episode. It was my 2012 GotY and I never did play much of Enemy Within despite buying it day 1.

 

[kiguel182]

Dan never won in 100 hours?

I don't play the game but that seems bad. Altought the game does seem hard and kinda random.

let's be real tho, there was probably a bit of luck in that and I doubt you'll win 33% of your games

Every PUBG game requires luck, imo. I managed to evade multiple snipers during my game and also hid from the heavy combat especially near the end. I used the serpentine motions when I was running in a field while the guy kept shooting at me. That was fun. I'll take the win.

Dan has won.

I just started playing again this weekend after a couple of weeks off, and I suck now! Used to be I would be in the top 20 every game pretty much, now I am getting killed by the first person I encounter every time.

40 hours playtime, No wins so far and at this rate I can't see myself improving much unless I change to squads or duos and get some help.

 

[LiK]

The one thing I have to admit about PUBG is that it brought back memories of my CS 1.6 games where I was the last man standing in a map and you had to be extra cautious to make it through and either get the killing shot or defuse the bomb/save VIPs.

That feeling of stress and tension was always a good feeling.

 

[Dineren]

I won my 4th game by hiding in a bush and shotgunning people that ran by until the final circle then let the other two remaining shoot each other while I crouched behind one of them with a shotgun, killing him when he won the fire fight.

I regret nothing

 

[oti]

eeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrh no that defeats the purpose of the game, it's a strategic game not a run and gun game. The circle already does what you want in a way. That 1 kill just means they outplayed everyone with their positioning and strategies

People have to stop trying to change the core of this game and play something else (not targeting you, but targeting everyone here)

"outplayed everyone"

Yeah, sure

At least it's not a bathtub.

Yeah, sure

you're not invisible when you're in a bush. If that person just ran accross then yes, you ouplayed him

So did you just play 3 matches, win one, and then quit forever because you beat the game? lol

 

[Diprosalic]

Because they can't put 200 hours in a single game like you can.

Austin has 110 hours logged into PUBG
Patrick has 95 hours.
i have 25 hours and many many dinners and i'm not even good at the game or playing with mouse and keyboard since i'm usually a filthy console player.
PUBG is my first competitive PC game ever.

 

[NumberThree]

Take:
The timer makes XCOM 2 way more exciting to play since the "run to full cover and overwatch with everyone" strategy holds no power.

Definitely, the timers were a great change.

Fuck it, I was planning on waiting for the expansion but I'll start another XCOM 2 playthrough now..

 

[Hasney]

...I kind of want to boot up XCOM again after watching that first episode. It was my 2012 GotY and I never did play much of Enemy Within despite buying it day 1.

Playing 2 now and I've either bruteforced my way through the issues (980ti and 6700k off an M.2 SSD) or they patched it up. Smooth as butter now.

And I only lost 50% of my squad and another gravely wounded on the first non-tutorial mission!

 

[LiK]

So did you just play 3 matches, win one, and then quit forever because you beat the game? lol

Pretty much. I'll return when new maps drop. I have so many more other games to play.

That sure sounds like a good video game.

I thought it was unplayable with a controller? Maybe I should just buy it and see for myself. It's not really expensive anyway.

I mean, they won. Is there more to do than that?

i don't play with a controller, i meant that i'm not used to play games with mouse and keyboard. PUBG is basically my first competitive mouse and keyboard game.

and even i managed to win multiple times in my first 10 hours.

this is the most depressing, myopic take on videogames I've read on this forum in a while and that's saying something

Hm, I'm no good with m&kb. But apparently they patched in controller support. Might as well buy it and check it out for myself.

I see where you're coming from. But once you reach the goal of the game, eh. There are also other games to play.

 

[Glass Shark]

I mean personally I find PUBG pretty boring, especially playing solo. I can't imagine I would ever want to come back to it in its current form after I won a game. But some people just enjoy playing over and over.

 

[LiK]

I don't think controller is a good idea for this game on PC. People will just outshoot you from a distance more easily with a mouse.

Yea, I understand why people like it. Every game is just random and unpredictable. That's fine.

oh cool, didn't know they patched it in.
i might just try a chicken dinner with the controller just to show people who told me it wouldn't work when i first asked for it months ago.

no you should be forced to play more than you feel is necessary

 

[oti]

I'll just hide in the bushes. That's how you outplay your opponents in this game apparently.

Austin and Patrick got that chicken dinner by being weenies

Mary is punching a wall right now

 

[Liquid Shake]

Heads up everyone, Murder Island was moved forward 30 minutes again.

 

[VeryGooster]

Thumbs up on Bradcast.

 

[LiK]

Nice, 1099 is on iTunes. I'll listen to Bradley on the way home.

 

[Death Metalist]

Yo, Derek Yu's new project looks amazing. It's like a competent Action 52.

holy shit this looks great

 

[BreezyLimbo]

"outplayed everyone"

Yeah, sure

Oti have you ever played PUBG

its not easy avoiding 100 other players and not dying

Especially as the circle gets smaller. Hiding becomes harder and harder.

 

[Lunar FC]

I'm watching the international rn, wtf is my problem.

 

[Stoze]

Yo, Derek Yu's new project looks amazing. It's like a competent Action 52.

Yeah that looks awesome. They've been teasing it on Twitter for a bit now with just random screens and the title, glad to see a trailer.

 

[Erekiddo]

Is it just me, or Murder Island was pushed 3 hours? Was 12:30 when I looked earlier today, and now it says 3:30.

 

[mintyice]

Yo, Derek Yu's new project looks amazing. It's like a competent Action 52.

Yeah this looks good.

 

[Data West]

they should make a new retro game challenge

 

[OdysseusVA]

It was pushed up and now pushed back?

 

[Teddified]

Murder?

3000 Miles to Murder Island (LIVE!)
25 squads of Elvis impersonators come to Murder Island looking for a little less conversation, and a little more action. But on their quest to be crowned the King, these suspicious minds can't help falling in love...with MURDER.

Is brad gonna be too busy thinking of Dota 2 to be the MVP this time?

 

[Death Metalist]

Won't be able to watch this live but looking forward to the archive.

 

[Lari]

I'm ready for MURDER.

[LiK]

Are they gonna begin buying loot in PUBG?

 

[Teddified]

Are they gonna begin buying loot in PUBG?

Jeff has said he bought the gamescom crate and key

 

[Salarians]

is there a mod that replaces enemy characters in PUBG with DOTA characters?
