It's a game mode entirely separate from the main game. It's basically pubg (that is, everybody starts with nothing) with building mechanics

yeah I actually came back to correct myself, I think that pvp is hilarious and looks fun, might actually try it out

[FrazettaSilke]

Innnnnnnn. Does anyone have the full game?

Looks hella fun to play with a SO

It's a cartoony zombie defense game with missions, upgrades, skill trees etc. It gets pretty convoluted. There's also a PUBG-battle royale mode.

PvE quickly becomes a grindfest, I burned out but since they have released a couple more map modes but nothing that looks too interesting.

that's disappointing. Kinda expensive too, if you want more than PUBG mode

it is paid Early access for single player only. The game mode battle royale drops tomorrow and it will be free. They have 2 different teams working on the single player and multiplayer, kind of like H1Z1.

once its out of early access, the whole game will be free as well. You only pay for early access if you cant wait to play it and want to support the developer.

this, it will be free. and TBF yes I know its early access and I do think the game has a lot of great/fun parts and I'm hoping as they continue to add more to it, it improves

well damn sons, didn't know this.

saw the 39.99 price tag and did a 360 nope scope outta there

will play with misc/old lady squads

[InVentive44]

Will download tomorrow and play with some miscers. I'm on XBOX one tag is Inventive44

[FrazettaSilke]

Having a good bit of fun so far. Haven't won a match yet, but mainly because I go for every kill I can.

you? go for every kill? surely not man, that's not the Po we know

but in all seriousness, do you see misc squads having fun with it? is their duo/squad option live yet?

[stasmtl]

just played a bit during work break, placed 3rd on the very first match with 7 kills, second match got to 13 with 4 kills.

Inventory is a bit clunky, cannot unload weapons to get ammo for what you currently use, gotta get used to building on-the-go.

but game has potential, can definitely have lots of fun, looking forward to playing Squads (duos isnt available yet).

add me to friends, username - Madroxide.

[FrazettaSilke]

Yeah, it's live. I think it will be hilarious to run with misc squads. The only thing that might be annoying, is weapon scarcity.

will be on tonight, very curious

[FrazettaSilke]

Got my first win! Dang, haven't had my BPM up this high since I first started PUBG. Won with 9 kills.

Glad to hear that the game, however arcadey, still gets your adrenaline pumping like pubg

[stasmtl]

got back to back 2 chicken dinners on my 5th and 6th match, feelsgoodman

[stasmtl]

Noice! How are you liking it?

on top of what I wrote above, Inventory is a bit clunky, cannot unload weapons to get ammo for what you currently use, gotta get used to building on-the-go. Weapon bloom takes a bit getting used to, sniper rifles aim while zoomed in cannot be adjusted and is a little too sensitive for my taste.
But game is fun, and hope they keep improving it.

[SwampDog35]

I DLed this last night and played a few rounds. It seems pretty fun. Gotta get out of the PUBG mindset or trying to loot and shoot.... Could be a fun game to Squad.

[FrazettaSilke]

[KingSWRV]

Its like LEGO PUBG

Would like this if I was but a 12 year old child or if I had a son to play with or something.

[KingSWRV]

Just because of the art style?

Not to trash the game bro.. lol but..

I agreed with this review.

I think they explained it fairly.

As a BR its too shallow, no cars, no grass, no hiding behind foliages, not many areas, not much loot, small world. Takes away the juicy details that make PUBG brilliant.

As a cell shaded style fort builder/rpg tower defense/casual shooter its held back by the BR element because there is not time or reason to do most of those things you can do.

it tries to do both things and does neither right.

The whole world feels small, the scope, the distances, its like a toy world.

So little things on the map, so many wide open spaces between spots.

Cant stand the monotonic beat on the party bus first of all.

The only little tiny thing I like is the loot boxes "aura" and finding them. Those Fable 3 looking treasure chests.

As a BR its not a competition to PUBG any more than H1Z1 is. It's not really even a similar game in any way.

It made me realize how special PUBG is the way its stylized.

Its most peoples first experience with the new era ARMA 3 mil-sim style realism and is a huge part of its success.

That gif in the review of the motorcycle landing on the guy perfectly encapsulates the richness of potential of that type of sim game engine and what makes PUBG the number 1 game on earth right now.

As for the tech issues part, like I said before the "glitches" in PUBG and the early access feel are a source of much fun and merriment to gamers. Its a part of the appeal. (not getting stuck in the warehouse wall tho LOL)

Its also the same as how people forgive Bethesda for having bugs because of the sheer boldness of the ultra rich game world they are trying to create.

Yeah its easy to make a game work when its small simple and tight.

You didn't get stuck in between a wall because there is no such realistic detail or crevice in that one.

[FrazettaSilke]

It's free.

this is the overwhelming factor for me. I'll enjoy it until it is pay to win

[KingSWRV]

It's clear you haven't played it, as most of the things you are criticizing, aren't even real aspects of the game, but no game will appeal to all audiences.




You can hide in bushes/grass, I do it every game, and there is cover literally everywhere. You can also destroy almost any cover in game, to blow out campers. Also, you are on the party bus for less than a minute, how easily frustrated do you get by sounds? Beats having your eardrums blown out every time you hop in the AC130.


For me these are Pros:

~Smaller map, you don't spend 80% of your game time playing a running/driving sim. Games feel more engaging and lively, because the map is smaller and the pace is faster.

~No vehicles. The map is already just the right size, that you should ever really die to the storm, and vehicles would just make it even more arcadey/silly.

~Plenty of shacks, buildings, cover, concealment for the map size. You can also build your own cover, if you don't care about being stealthy.

~Not riddled/laden with bugs/glitches/desync issues. I have yet to encounter a game breaking bug, or glitch, like I run into frequently in PUBG.

~No retard physics or mesh issues, that cause you to insta die to stupid crap, after 15 minutes of running away from the blue zone.


It's free. Try it out brah, no need to hate it before you try it. PUBG will still have it's place, but this game is much more entertaining to me, as I never really enjoyed the fact that you spend 80%+ of your game time in PUBG, running across the map.

lol what bushes/grass?

there is no grass. Its just ground bro.

Whats the button to go prone?

Oh wait, you can't, you can only crouch.

This game is perfect because in PUBG you always like to

1. not use cars
2. not use prone in grass

boom this game has neither. perfect.

Btw I got to 3rd place my first try without really trying

[KingSWRV]

this is the overwhelming factor for me. I'll enjoy it until it is pay to win

It better be free, thats about the price its worth. will be awesome for poor children around the world who see PUBG getting ultra popular and wish they could play but their parents won't let them have 30 dollars.

[DesiredUserphag]

It's like a quicker PUBG. Matches don't last 30 minutes usually and most of the time you'll die before 5 minutes. The building is pretty awesome. Fun game for sure. Doesn't replace PUBG but definitely exciting

[KingSWRV]

Brosef, pubg isn't going anywhere, no need to be upset about it.

I feel threatened bro...

This is League of Legends to PUBG's DOTA.

exactly. And it isnt meant to replace PUBG, its just its own game of similar genre. On top of that, its literally in the very beginning stages of early access, it doesnt even have global chat, or duo queues, or stats, rankings, prizes etc.
If they put effort into it, it could be quite a fun game.

I'm tempted to buy the full game for the zombie mode tbh, looks hella fun

[KingSWRV]

Getting the hang of this.

Grats, are you just being you or is it super easy with a bunch of noobs?

Lets try playing squads see if we can pull some silly shenanigans with the buildings and stuff like that lol

could be fun to troll for a bit
