Banketelli 3,655 Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 (edited) Anyone on here playing this game or interested in getting started? Unfortunately, it's PC only atm. Xbox version has been teased, but still no word about PS4, and I can't wait anymore. Been my favorite game for the past month or so just by watching youtube gameplay, so now I have ordered new parts for my old gamer PC and getting ready to enter the battleground. It's a battle royale type game. Only been out for a few months as an early access but is already ridiculously popular. You can play solo, duo or squad (up to 4 players). Up to one hundred players parachute onto an island and scavenge for weapons and equipment to kill others while avoiding getting killed themselves. The available safe area of the game's world decreases in size over a match, directing surviving players into tighter areas and forcing encounters. The last player or team standing wins the round.

Squirrel 5,180 Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 I'd love to give it a go but no one to play with. Seems like a lot of fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, playing solo would quickly become boring I think. I don't know any playing it, but am currently trying to recruit from friends, colleagues and now on here.

DavidCore89 7,402 Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Sounds like a very good concept rather than the normal deathmatch games. Might try it, but I say that about a lot of PC games and rarely do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just with out the down-side of those games - the massive time spent running around between any actual PVP action. My aim is to begin streaming once I'm all set up, hopefully playing the game with people from here. Then you can see if it's something you would like to get in on. 2 hours ago, Squirrel said: Its a big expensive box of components that grown ups use to game with. Amen... just spent more on a graphic card and SSD than the cost of a PS4 Pro. And still need to get better mouse and keyboard. Plus a fricking headset.

Sinister 2,578 Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 This sounds like a fun game. Sadly a PC is not something I want to get involved with, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matty 745 Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 (edited) This game is on my wishlist in Steam. Although I really want this game and think the "battle royale" style will be cool, it will probably lose its appeal quite quickly without constant map additions. The other side of the coin is that it's another early access game that will most likely never come out of that category. And with a healthy price of £26 I'm not sure it's a path I want to take once again. Anyone else remember DayZ , Rust, Ark (although this last one is a full release now, I think) but they were all under 15 squid when they hit Steam. Edit: I forgot to mention 7 days to die...... fu@k that game..... If any of you guys and gals are pc gamers, chuck me a friend request on steam. http://steamcommunity.com/id/mattymcrae Edited July 24, 2017 by Matty Update Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it will be treated better than the other early access games. As far as I have heard, they have been good at updating the game and are soon ready with a desert map. The player base is really big at this point, so with continuous updates it should be able to carry on for a quite a while.

Matty 745 Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 So, I went ahead and got this and had a bit of a game today. Interestingly you can play solo, duo or as a squad (4). I have only played the solo so far an it's not too bad, I still am not sure it's worth 27 quid though. It's actually much faster than I invisiged and I would like a bit more time to gear up before the radius starts to shrink, but I think it has potential and could be a lot more fun in the duo or squad modes. My personal verdict would be, buy it if you have the cash to spare but don't panic, it will still be the same old game for some time to come yet.
