Good game!

I've always asked myself, how can people play a game for 1000+ hours and then give it a thumbs down?

Then I played PUBG.

The European servers are in tatters, ruined by cheaters. I log in to 4 or 5 new perm-ban reports each session, but nothing changes. Cheats are readily available and are pre-installed in internet cafes in many parts of the world. Hit the death cam to spectate a HUYATV or DOUYUTV account and watch them 6x spray you with an AK from 100 yards, every shot hitting you in the head.

And it's not, GET GUD or REKT M8 - it's just sad. It takes all of the fun out of the game. I've played for over 1000 hours, I've paid for season passes and I've been promised changes and improvements - it just isn't happening. The devs don't care about about their player base and they don't listen to feedback.

PUBG still offers something other BR games don't and this is the game I want to play. When this game is good, it's probably one of my favourite games ever - certainly the game I've played the most.

I can put up with bugs, I can put up with poor geometry and I can put up with not being the best player at this game. But I can't put up with cheats.

Don't REGION LOCK CHINA, build a better cheat engine. I will happily play against anyone from anywhere in the world, but I don't want to play against cheaters.

It makes me incredibly sad to have to give this game a thumbs down.

:: ...213 hours later... ::
This game is now broken beyond belief. 100% CPU usage, stuttering everywhere (regardless of how good your machine is), cheaters in every single game, complete radio silence from the devs.

Don't bother.

I am a 45 yo father, probably one of the oldest people playing this game. I am a single father to my Son, who is 14 now. My son got this game for Christmas in 2020 from his uncle, so we installed it on his computer and he started playing. By the end of the week he had 24 hours on this game. This was horrible for me, as it was already hard for me to find ways to spend time with my son, as he is always out with his friends or just watching YouTube. So I decided to make a Steam account and get this game to see if I could maybe play alongside him. I loaded into the game, picked my character and started playing but I was stuck on what you where supposed to do. I asked my Son for help and he hosted a game for me to join. I loved it as it was the best time I had spent with my Son since my wife had died. This game has ever since brought me and my son closer again and now we actually spend time together outside the house together as well. This game reminded me that there's fun to be had in everything, and it has brought both me and my Son many happy memories.

Gobble my balls

I will leave this cat here, so that everybody who passes by can pet it and give it a thumbs up and awards

it's an enjoyable game, but they definitely need to take different precautions to prevent cheaters.

Try it! It's free so you can only lose your time.

The 10k hours plus squad that has two drones up, a spotter scope that can put a big marker above your head and see you through smoke and every tactical pack advantage available needs you as 'cannon fodder' because they hate getting outsmarted or outplayed so basically they have everything and anything covered now.

They need you because they don't like shooting bots but they like easy target noobs who can't really win.

Otherwise, have fun. Make friends they are great and not toxic.

Good luck.

PS: There is cheaters, easy to avoid just report them if you die ( ◕ᴗ◕)っ✂╰⋃╯

cheaters have taken over beware

ok

Cheaters. Do avoid.
