PUBG players always make it seem like it was the first of its kind. But I have a strong feeling it was not the first game to have this type of gameplay.

For the record I dont play PUBG I dont like those type of games im just curious if it really was the first of its kind. I guess King of The Kill but anything before that?

An ARMA 2 mod started the whole "battle royale" genre.

Yes, it wasn't the first to come up with Battle Royale, there was a batteroyale mod for ARMA before PUBG came out.

Wrestling games. Battle Royal with a bunch of people jumping in the ring to see who wins by not getting knocked out. Last guy who has to go in has a advantage so bs in a way lol.

Ok so if there were all these games before PUBG why do PUBG fans call Fortnite a "PUBG ripoff" couldnt the same be said about PUBG being a H1Z1 rip off or that Arma Mod rip off?

Because people are dumb

Paladins is "an Overwatch rip off" even though team based fps with objectives wasn't invented by Overwatch and the skill system is arguably the same thing as let's say TF2's weapons's abilities

I really dont want to come off as like a d-bag but I really hate this new breed of players who think that every POPULAR game that comes out with a "new" feature or new "playstyle/gamemode" is the first to ever do it or act as if its original. I see nothing wrong with altering or being inspired by other games but to say something is "new" and to completely ignore everything else before it is pretty ignorant .

oh this game has guns, its a cod rip off... like stop
