yeah, it was. in my experience though, people with lives and friends play Fortnite. Ok lmao. The majority of people I've come across playing this game have wives/girlfriends and are normal people. It's not some 4chan game hahaha do you have any idea how popular and mainstream pubg is. I played yesterday and I will say they have made small improvements since last month, but it still takes way too long to drop into a game once you decide to play, and the actual navigation of the UI could be smoother. I don't really understand these complaints. It doesn't take that long. That's fine. I consider PUBG boring cuz I don't really care about military simulations. I wouldn't call pubg a milsim but it definitely tried to be realistic without sacrificing gameplay. It's as casual as Halo. Halo is (was) highly competitive. Apart from the aim assist it takes a lot more skill than fortnite.

PLENTY OF PRO PLAYERS
Ask any decent streamer what he thinks and what the pro players they know think about fortnite. Nobody thinks it's a seriously competitive game.
None of you have a valid argument other than "it can be played competitively". Sure, but so can bowling. That doesn't mean it's a competitive experience.
I've literally never heard any pro players say fortnite isn't competitive, or that pubg is more competitive than r6s.
You're also an idiot

You were implying that PUBG builds communication skills through team-based gameplay, as if Fortnite doesn't require teamwork also. I wasn't saying that at all. I'm saying pubg is a game that heavily rewards team play above all else. It's not that casual, it's just more accessible which is misleading. I'm not gonna argue semantics and I don't really care, but it's a casual game. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that, I don't mean it in a derogatory way. It's just a more casual game. Because I don't really care to continue to argue it, I just want you to know I still believe it. That's fine but you can't just believe things when I'm presenting facts. If you don't wanna argue it whatever, I don't really care either I don't think any less of you for it. That's because people who play PUBG have absolutely nothing going for them in their real lives that winning a game is like injecting heroin. is this a joke๐ค Most streamers are kinda lame but I'd play 10 hours a day everyday too if I made cash playing pubg. At that point it replaces the time you'd spend working a job. I played it a few weeks ago with you and Banjo and Gorge Bush. I still have his friend request on Steam. Really? Anyways there was a huge update after that and the UI is much cleaner now. More realistic is all I'm willing to give you. Whatever, everybody's entitled to their own opinions. That explains all the players who don't get anything by not buying the battle pass and just play for days on the free pass. I consider it boring. It's true, I haven't played it so maybe I shouldn't judge it so harshly but from what I've seen it doesn't interest me. Yeah, because it's a really neat idea that Fortnite perfected. lmao come on dude fortnite did not perfect anything. It was literally a failed game that latched onto pubg's success and has better optimization. PUBG's been around longer, that's why. Fortnite will be played competitive soon enough, once they figure out their custom games code thing. Not that much longer. There probably will be a competitive scene but again, there's literal sweeping as an Olympic sport. Well a lot of people don't feel that way, that's why I can buy a jacket on steam for a thousand dollars. People are idiots but at no point does the game force this stuff down your throat. That's not really scummy, it's just unoriginal. And the only thing they blatantly stole from PUBG was the battle bus thing. I think it's kind of scummy. At the same time they haven't done anything illegal and provided some healthy competition to get Bluehole to exert some real effort, and plenty of people are playing and enjoying it. I don't have a problem with fortnite, it's just not for me from what I've seen. Whatever we've kind of said our pieces about this and this reply was kind of superfluous but yeah. I really only take issue with your gross mischaracterisation of Fortnite's competitive viability. You are really downplaying the skill required for the building aspect. It might not be uber competitive realistic like PUBG but it's more fun because of that, IMO.
Again, if you personally enjoy fortnite more, great. I just don't consider it a competitive and plenty of pro players don't either. It doesn't make fortnite a bad game, it just makes it a more casual experience. Which is what it is. A more carefree, goofy PUBG.

Give me a break. As if you're trying to tell me PUBG is improving your communication skills as a human being... get real, dude. What the fuck. I'm saying it's a game that rewards people who know how to be team players. That's my point, that it will be more competitively viable because there's no barrier to entry. League is a dogshit game and its still one of the most popular competitive games around the world because its free. PUBG won't be around in 2 years, 5 years tops. Actually if you go back to my previous posts it was my point. The game attracts a wider audience because it's free to play and a hell of a lot more casual. Also both PUBG and fortnite will be around for a long time. But again, I don't care about which is more competitive. Fortnite is competitive enough to be addictive, it has a real sense of heart behind it, and it has all the bells and whistles to put the cherry on top. So if the facts don't matter to you why are we having a conversation about this? This is like the third time you openly state you don't care yet you shill the game without actually backing up anything you say. It looks like garbage, visually. Looks fine with settings on high. I think fortnite is ugly, the colors are drab and the art style is like a Chinese knock off of Team Fortress. It's has exceptional optimisation problems, Sure, like I said the devs are incompetent. I'm not shilling the devs. I'm saying pubg is at its core a far better game than fortnite. And I'm actually backing up the things I say instead of just ranting about how fortnite is a le epic cool game when the core gameplay of it is extremely dull and repetitive. I see almost no excitement on any streamers face when they get into a "firefight" on fortnite compared to pubg. It's such an easy game for them they're bored to death, but they're making money so they play it. the UI is counter-intuitive, You haven't played the game in months, the UI is much better now. game flow is absolutely non-existent for the first 30 minutes of a match... it just looks low-quality, I don't know what else to tell you. What? It's a survival game. If the way you choose to survive is to drop in the corner of the map so you can be alone, that's kind of a you thing and not the game's fault. A lot of this has nothing to do with actual gameplay, but this game is supposed to be done. All these problems say to me "unfinished" and "early access," which is why I didn't criticise it a year ago. I agree the game still has a lot of issues (lag and cheaters being the main ones) but the core gameplay of pubg is superior. It's more exciting. Because it doesn't just make a custom game version of ARMA, add a few mincrotransactions and call it a day. It's its own game built from the ground up with some cool twists on the genre that both improve it from an enjoyment perspective and an artistic one. Again this is a prime example of you saying literally nothing. Who cares how the games were made or how they came to be. Take out all the gimmicks fortnite has and you have a legitimately boring experience. I saw plenty of streamers, most noticeably Shroud, play it yesterday to try Thanos and after a few hours they were like "alright I had my fun" with Shroud going so far as to say "well that was anticlimactic" and stopped playing. Pubg doesn't need events to draw players in, it's fun as is. There's a reason it has record breaking sales and is the most played game on Steam even in its early days where it was broken as fuck. Well, it's an 60 dollar mod. That's pretty scummy. Except they actually built the game from the ground up on Unreal Engine 4. And again it has always been $30. That's why I bought it at first, I was highly skeptical and thought it was some flavor of the month game but I gave it a shot because it's only 30 bucks. Cost me 80 bucks, 60 american. I'm not saying you're lying but I don't understand how you paid this much. It has literally always been a $30 game. At the end of the day, I don't respect PUBG like I do Fortnite because the developers didn't really do anything to be respected. They just modded ARMA. Any gameplay achievements they have they owe to the ARMA developers. Have you ever played ARMA? It's a totally different game. Yes the mechanics copy it but that's because ARMA does things that should be copied if you're gonna make a game based off an ARMA 3 mod. Like I said above they made the game. They didn't copy and paste assets from ARMA 3 and call it a day. You're just lying at this point. Maybe PUBG is "more competitive," (I still don't really agree) but it's not more fun, and it won't be played more competitively like Fortnite will. It already is being played more competitively. PUBG asks for money upfront and then asks you to spend more for loot you're entitled to, No it doesn't lol. Never once have I felt compelled to spend real life money on some bullshit cosmetic item for the game, especially since you're in first person and can't even see anything apart from weapon skins. they bully less successful developers who are doing their job better than they are, and they just sit on their hands with their earnings instead of actually using them to make their game better. Epic Games aren't some saintly underdog developer lmao. Bluehole is constantly improving the game and adding (free) content. Just because they suck at what they do doesn't mean they're not trying lmao. Maybe none of these things hamper the actual quality of the gameplay, but Fortnite goes just as far in the opposite direction of "scummy" and it actually improves the game (this Infinity Gauntlet mode being a prime example.) And when a developer actually gives a shit and wants to make their game better, you can feel it while playing, and that improves the experience for me. I'm not gonna repeat what I just said but I will say this, what Epic Games did can easily be looked at as scummy too. They ripped off a lot of shit that is original to pubg and their only comment was (after they were developing this Battle Royale mode for their failed game in the dark, not telling Bluehole anything when they both use the same engine) that they were "inspired" by pubg.

Yeah. I don't consider teamwork to be as impressive as building and I'm sure they don't agree. lol... probably because teamwork is a real thing that's valuable in a person as a human being and building is just a way to slow down an already campy game. Not really. That doesn't make sense. Something can be low quality and be fun. I'm not saying that's what you think I just don't agree that PUBG is the better game. That's fine, you don't have to agree. It's not like that at all. It's like saying A good band that gives away their album for free is gonna get more listens that a good band that asks for money. I was using money as an example. And that's my point, fortnite can be bigger than pubg because it's free to play. Not really because it's better. I'll concede that PUBG lends itself to competition more, but it's still an unfinished mess and the developers do not care about that game's quality or fans. What's unfinished about it? It's unfair to say that about the developers. They care, they're just incompetent. Fortnite is more original than PUBG because at least it uses its own engine and creative spark to make things interesting. It's literally a cartoon version of pubg. It copied almost everything from pubg, how can it be more original lmao. At the end of the day PUBG is just a glorified mod of ARMA. ARMA and its mods are awesome. I don't see how that's something for Bluehole to be ashamed of. The game was $60 as an early access title $30* and before fixing the numerous issues with the game they implemented a shitty RNG lootbox microtransaction system. Never said that they aren't greedy and they definitely are incompetent. They've tried to threaten legal action against Epic Games for "stealing" the Battle Royale formula. They're a bad company that just doesn't care and sat on their hands after they raked in 750 million. Epic Games isn't like that at all, and that goes a long way for me.
I really don't care about the developers that much. I paid them 30 bucks and enjoy the game, that's as far as my "relationship" goes with them lmao. I'm talking about the games themselves.

Just watched JoshOG playing and he was literally corner camping and popping out spraying with a suppressed pistol at range and killing people and if they try to shoot back build some stairs and hop up real quick and finish them lmao. There's no aiming down sights, compensating for bullet velocity and drop, it's just a goofy casual version of pubg.

Okay. So you're dismissing what pro players say or what? It's a significant factor. Nah what I'm saying is something can be fun but not be a quality game. It's not. You could remove all the "gimmicks" and it would still be a fun and popular game. Lots of people do that because it's free and just play to play for the hell of it. But the game is so fun you feel compelled to spend money on it to support it. That's how it worked for me. I'm not saying it's a shitty game or wishing death on it lmao I don't know why people think I have that mentality. There's enough for everybody to eat. It's just gimmicky and I don't like it. It became a competitive event. And it's growing more popular. It will be a more popular game than PUBG competitively speaking. Whether it's "more competitive" or not is irrelevant. It's relevant to the conversation. This is like saying *insert popular band* is gonna sell more albums even though the music is worse than *good band*. How good the game is matters. But again all I've ever really said about fortnite is that it isn't competitive or better than pubg. If you play it and have fun, great. I'm just confused as to why people who enjoy fortnite think it's a more competitive and nuanced game than pubg or that the developers care more etc. That's just not the case.

« on: May 08, 2018, 08:08:06 PM »
Because what you might consider unfair I consider to be unimportant, competitively speaking. Almost all pro players agree with me. Unfair is again, subjective. And sometimes a game being unfair makes it more fun. MW2 is a prime example. Fun =/= quality Also everything in MW2 was overpowered. But again, it was never a competitive game. So having some sort of structure to your game or going the extra mile to do fun things is gimmicky now? Weapon skins are in PUBG, is that a gimmick? Weapon skins are a lame attempt at attracting the fortnite crowd. You can call it "going the extra mile to do fun things" all you want, it's a gimmicky game. There's nothing necessarily wrong with that. I'm just telling it like it is. No, I think the game is relatively fair and competitive and I also think competitiveness has no bearing on overall quality or overall competitive potential. League isn't fair, and it's one of the biggest ESports around. Fortnite is going to achieve the same thing because there's no barrier to entry. It's already started happening with Ninja's Las Vegas tournament thing.
Again I don't know anything about league of legends. And Ninja is just doing that for fun. You can hold a competition of almost anything, it doesn't make something inherently competitive.

I don't think a game needs to be "fun" to be fun. Know what I mean?
absolutely no fucking clue
A game doesn't need gimmicks and goofy stuff to be fun. If the core mechanics of the game are fun, that's what matters. It can be the most barebones experience but it wouldn't matter. Which was the case (and kind of still is) with pubg.
the discussion doesn't seem to be about what's fun though
it's about what's more fun
PUBG
fun but it's no fortnite
pubg is dumb fun, like a transformers movie
fortnite is a psychological thriller

It doesn't need to be competitive to be played competitively, nor does being less competitive than PUBG mean it's not competitive at all. And being competitive has no bearing on game quality. If a game can't be played competitively it isn't fair. If a game isn't fair it's not a quality game. I personally don't think there's anything in PUBG that comes even close to the level of skill required to build at a high level. Some of these guys are just absolutely insane. lol come on dude it's literally minecraft I don't ever see anyone spray. bruh Fortnite doesn't have any gimmicks, though. That's like saying PUBG's driving mechanics are gimmicks. The game just has elements that PUBG doesn't and that's what separates them.
It's full of gimmicks. I'm not even talking about building or game mechanics. It's just of full of as you say "video game stuff" to attract a large player base.

Yeah they spam walls but it's really not as devastating to the pace of the game as you're making it out to be. Half the time people are building off each other anyway and it's a crazy struggle to get the height advantage and out-juke your opponent. Fortnite is on its way to the competitive scene, they've already included custom matchmaking keys for such events. It'll be the next League of Legends. Being played competitive doesn't mean your game is competitive, either. I don't see it being taken that seriously. It's a fun goofy game but it's just not competitive. From what I've seen and what I've seen pro players say it's just not at that level. Yeah, fair enough. Don't think it's that big of a deal, though. It's a huge deal for competitive play or even just playing in general. Nobody who's decent at pubg plays 3rd person anymore. Who have you watched play? Ninja (cringe๐น๐น๐น), Shroud, and just random people. If you remember when I first started playing Fortnite I thought PUBG was better. I was actually a lot better at PUBG at that point. The building meta was really hard to get into. But I don't think you're quite at the level of being really good at the game (pubg). Eventually though I got better at Fortnite and over time noticed cool things that make the game more fun: jump height, multiple weapons, COOL weapons that are more fun than realistic, hectic team building, verticality, etc. It's a game that's okay with being a game and not sticking to the limitations of reality at the expense of fun. PUBG is a fine game I just don't think the whole realistic shtick it has going on is all that much fun. Even if it lends itself to a more hardcore competitive gaming crowd, I still don't think that makes it the better game. Fortnite has changed more in the one month I've been playing it than PUBG has in the near year I've owned it. For all the fun and gimmicky stuff fortnite has I don't consider that more fun than a more serious/realistic game. I don't think a game needs to be "fun" to be fun. Know what I mean?

For Avatar 2, JC's literally CREATING a new specimen of 3D technology that will be glasses-free but immersive. He wants nothing less than hegemony over the top 5 highest grossing films of all time. You think he's spending his 60s and 70s on 4 new Avatar films on a whim? This man divides his time like an ant does specks of sand. You think he hasn't run every calculation for failure 3x through his brain? He hasn't mapped out victory? Avatar isn't an adaptation. He formed this ENTIRE UNIVERSE in his head. Marvel has 100,000 comic books, a library the size of most businesses for research.
Cameron sits at an advanced desk. He makes the world real. He draws the characters. He then creates NEW technology to create the characters. Finally he creates new 3D tech for us to experience what he imagines, we're freebasing Cameron's imagination uncut.
You think the Russo Brothers, JJ Jewbrams, and Harry Potter, or Jurassic World (lol) can seriously topple Cameron in the next decade? He's transcending film. He has crushed Spielberg and Lucas. This week, he said 2001 lacked balls. He's implying he's better than Kubrick. He's dog whistling to the Hollywood elites: you haven't seen anything yet and "seeing" doesn't begin to describe what Avatar 2 will be like
Marvelqueers lack balls also. Cameron watches Avengers 3 like a sleepy lion watches a bird digging for a worm in his dung. The new Avatars resemble Hiroshima if the explosions contained god-like epiphanies. Alien rain forests edging you into a squirrely supernova. They will each gross $2-3 billion, ending Hollywood/Halloween as we know it.
Nothing is cringer than chubby hipsters at work, /tv/ and school, who posture as if they're first to declare "Avatar is like Avataretarded, how did it make so much money?" These hipsters say the same thing about religions, "they're so retarded how can billions believe in them?"
Would you rather be a cynical hipster, or ride shotgun with JC to the next dimension? The latter

You mean how the game will cycle through the default skins? You'd like to choose between the default ones available?
yeah
i would also enjoy having the option to mute all mics by default, because what i have to do now is set up a private party chat with myself just to drown out the noise when it ought to just be an option in the game
but yeah otherwise i'd agree
yeah i'd like to have a default skin option, or even let me buy them for 150 vbucks or whatever. some of them aren't bad.
you could also just turn down voice chat sound to 0 in the options menu

yes, building is quite difficult to pull off effectively and has a high skill ceiling, therefore it is competitive.
People literally spam walls. It drags the pace of the game down to a halt. There's a reason PUBG has pro teams and tournaments and fortnite doesn't. no more or less competitive than first person considering that you can't switch shoulders and corner camp You can however hide behind a tree, rock, or crouch in some defilade and gain an unfair advantage. not a thing here, if anything, it's discouraged because of the bullet time and shot displacement That's all I see when I watched gameplay of fortnite. besides, even if PUBG were more competitive (which it isn't, it's just more realistic) Fortnite would still be a better game. I think you're biased because you aren't good at PUBG. One of the main complaints people who prefer fortnite make is that you spend 20 minutes looting then die in a second in pubg. That's not really the game's fault, it's yours.
