Yah that's a super weak video to put together - PC looked like that during some periods of its early access for god's sake.

Played a few hours of the new v1.0 with friends last night.

Firstly, it's simply amazing to play a game that feels almost finished. The UI is much much much much (much) better, matchmaking, grouping and queing is transparent, and overall the game feels more "solid".

The new map, wall vaulting, and the handful of new guns are great too. We also won a game and almost won a second. The new Nvidia drivers + 1.0 means i can turn everything up to High/Ultra without lag. A+ patch.

You must be getting paid by a sponsor, I've been on the internet so I know this game is a disaster and unplayable.

Started playing duos with a friend a couple weeks ago, 3rd game in Chicken Dinner then nothing, Patch 1.0 3rd game in Chicken Dinner I hope the pattern changes from here.

It's performing so much better on PC now. Solid 60+ FPS at 1440p for me.

Too bad I'm horrible at the game.

I've had four top ten finishes in a row now - feeling like I'm getting my groove as a sneaky bastard. I'm too old for the fast twitch pace of School and Pochinki - I'm more of a Lipovka kind of guy.

I got the game as a gift from my wife for Christmas for xbox one and played 4 or 5 games and best finish was 22nd but I didn't see anyone and died outside of the zone. Any tips?

"Edging", or, hanging around the edge of the circle is only a viable strat on the old island map. The new desert map has way fewer vehicles and you will likely die if you don't migrate towards each circle's centre as the match progresses.

I've played 3 games on the Xbox so far, first game I never got a weapon (didn't know how) and was out around 65. Second game, got a mediocre weapon (a crossbow) and no kills but hit 9. Third game, I learned how to handle dropping in, got a great cache of weapons, bandages and painkillers, and lasted to 5 with 2 kills.

I find a lot of the game is just planning how to get to the shrinking circle without overly exposing yourself. And there has to be quite a bit of luck in weapon finds, I got the M4A1 in the third game and taking those 2 players out was easier than I expected.

This game has some technical hurdles to clear, but its a lot of fun.

This pretty much sums up the state of gaming in 2017.

After initial success not knowing how to play and thinking I can now engage others early in the games, I have not broken 80.

Time to become a noob again.

Played about a dozen games so far. Only killed one other player and that was with a crowbar. Keep getting killed before I can figure out where I'm getting shot at. Nerve racking game, but obviously need more practice.

Practice and a major problem in the game is cheaters and teaming, I don't understand the point but I was playing a single player game and was watching this guy while I was hiding around a corner getting ready to ambush him when he comes out he heads for this car and stops for a second so I pop out from behind this wall and to my surprise there are two of them there talking in chinese i sprayed them and killed one but the other guy booked it.

Love the new "2-Man Squad" mode.

Me and a buddy just won a round 2-manning against 4-man squads. It's almost like you get a massive boost to mobility but a debuff to damage.

Just got PUBG for PC, but pretty sure I'll get murdered quickly. Any good youtube videos I can watch on the game, to ensuresure I am not a total noob? Something with some basic strategy and gameplay suggestions, etc?

Any CP squads out there? I usually play the battlefield games, but no one in my PC squad is into PUBG for some reason...

Well firstly, good news, PUBG and BF1 have remakably similar shooting mechanics.

Best advice I can offer is the element of surprise is your best weapon.
