PUBG: Battlegrounds Review (Vondakay)
PUBG is one of my favorite games to of all time. So Ill list out what I like and dont like for anyone new or wanting to get back into it.
PROS
- I love the weight of the equipment, cars, movement and just the over all feel of the game is something that always draws me to it over other titles. Getting an elimination in PUBG feels infinetly more rewarding compared to other shooting titles I've played. I think its due to the fact its not really the easiest mechanically to control the character/gun and the strategy alone required in a big open map to successfully elim other teams makes the payoff feel huge.
- The Friends who are able to tolerate sucking at the beginning of playing this game I can guarantee you will be some of the best friends you can ever make because if they can Enjoy PUBG without having to win every game they are typically very down to earth people who enjoy the process of things more than the flashy winning titles and made up accolades (besides Steam Acheivements those are very important)
- As someone who loved H1Z1's customization and would spend hours manipulating the market to afford 30 cent items I can easily say PUBG is just as good. If you don't want to be a Kpop star thats fine I guess.. you can be literally customize to whatever you want to wear whether thats Apocalytpic/steam punk gear, designer fashion wear, Jeremy Lin for some reason, or you can be a giant polar bear. All cosmetics are pretty cheap or easily earned through Contraband boxes. All my skins are from twitch drops and contraband and my inventory is lookin nice.
CONS
- There are AI players that fill up lobby's to make sure you don't ride on empty planes. They arn't too annoying at first until you have had to figure out the shooting you have heard for 5 mins is two bots battling to the death missing every shot. They dont feel too rewarding to elim and dont actually carry useful loot other than the bullets you used to take them out.
- A lot of the time people who play this game are closeted Mil Sim enjoyers who think they are legit on deployment siege-ing the fields of a foreign country sitting on top of Oil reserves. Literally if you take away anything from this post Don't pay these people any attention they are very controlling in their game plan. Best advice is when they get knocked out you can see their true nature come out as they screamed to be revived as if they legit got shot.
- This isn't really a con but be prepared to deploy the parachute and land late, loot all game and see no one then get shot in the back for many many games... As someone who loves games like Firewatch just pretend that its going to be a lot of exploration for sometime. You wont know where to look or where to be but over time things come naturally just always make sure above all else to have fun when trying to learn.
Thanks for reading I hope this helps!
