PUBG vs Fortnite

[Kioku]

I don't care for either one. I play both, and honestly have no damn clue why either one has a competitive scene.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Because that's the point of the game? Yeah, let's not use a mechanic that was given to us just because i think it is stupid. Bleh.

It just adds a false level of complexity to an otherwise basic shooter.

Pretty subjetive anyway. The feature is thereand it serves it porpuse. When you are really into it you start to apreciate it, to master your building skills, because it is really a decisive feature especially on a 1v1.

Fortnite is the more optimized game, there's no doubt about that. But, I really don't like the fortnite artstyle/visual aesthetic. It looks like a childish version of TF2. Also, the entire building mechanic in my opinion should not be in a battle royale game. So yeah, for me personally it comes to this:

• Fortnite is technically the superior game
• PUBG has better gameplay and visual aesthetic, and has the potential to become better (recent updates made the game a LOT more playable)

It's obviously Melee, end of discussion.

Haven't played any of them to be honest. Just not my type of game.

Micros down people's throad? I mean, they are pure comestic stuff that dont affect the game, it is up to you to waste money on skins... want a microtransaction bullcrap game? Say hello to cod, star wars battlefront, battlefield, destiny, etc, those kind of games cram microtransactions down people's throats, offering weapons that are better than the ingame ones, that's bullshit.

Also the whole building mecanic being bullcrap, well? you dont have to use it to play, you can take down people on forts if you know what you are doing, even when they defend back in a shoot battle with walls, it all depends on the player skills, if you cant really outcome or counter that then well, it isnt really the game's fault.

To be honest, I've played about 6 rounds of PUBG and maybe 4 of Fortnite. I'm not a fan of these Battle Royale games. I think it's a super cool idea, and I'm glad so many people are having fun with it, but I'm not big on them, personally.

What makes it a super cool idea? What hasn't been done yet that makes you have fun with it?

I think you misread my post? I don't have fun with the games - I don't really like them personally. But I think any game that people have fun with is super cool, especially one that let's 100 people play together at the same time. It doesn't have to do anything different to be cool, so long as it's fun for the people playing.

I've never been a fan of online shooter games, I find them unrewarding, and I've never been one to enjoy playing with mouse+keyboard. I'm also incredibly sensitive to motion sickness--a reason why I don't play Overwatch.

However...Fortnite...

I find it very fun. I'm still terrible with shooting as I'm playing against people obviously using m+kb, but there's something just incredibly fun about getting a group of friends together to play and see how long the group lasts. In the second round I've ever played, I ended up winning, and it was on the GBAtempTV Twitch, too! There's something that Fortnite evokes for me that other shooters don't, so while I likely will not ever try PUBG, nor would I enjoy it, Fornite stands far above it, for me personally.

Lets see,pubg requires xbox live gold unless you are in the masterrace,while fortnite is on every platform and is free to play (except for xbox)

I think fortnite has a wider audence while pubg is popular but not everyone can play it.

Holy crap for a moment there I thought you needed PS Plus subscription to play Fortnite on PS4.

Thanks man!

I don't understand the popularity of these games. With so many players on the map to start with, winning is as much luck as it is skill. The general "Hunger Games" idea is neat, but it feels like an extra mode that should be added to existing games, not something that needs its own genre. Here's hoping we move on from Battle Royale games just as fast as we moved on from MOBAs.

There is just too many people to keep up with!

In most games, 8 I can keep up with, but even then is chaos, like super smash bros or splatoon. In smash bros, the area is small, but in splatoon, it's a bit bigger, and then in those games (Like the ones on this topic) It's TOO BIG! I can be minding my own business and just die from a ambush. I don't like that.

 

[netovsk]

I don't play any of them but nothing against them, just got many more games that I already know I love to handle to try battle royale games out.

I guess that the constant feeling of paranoia on those must be overwhelming, much like it was in DayZ back then.

well pubg runs like fucking shit even on supercomputers and fortnite i am mainly a pve person and i like the pve aspect of it so i guess fortnite. and also the company just basically gave out 12 million dollars to the public so like..gg

 

[comput3rus3r]

I think PUBNITE is better than FORTG

12 million dollars worth of game assets*, not 12 million dollars lol. Epic have always been pretty cool and I'd definitely prefer people give money to them instead of Tencent (who own PUBG's developer and LoL).

Luckily you dont.Only xbox guys get screwed over.

I play Fortnite Battle Royale occasionally, but I prefer to Save the World by a mile. There is too much downtime in Battle Royale, you spend most the game searching buildings etc. then maybe get to fire off a shot or two after 10 minutes of not seeing another player, then get sniped from behind and the match is over. It's to throwaway for my tastes.

 

[sarkwalvein]

I would like to try one of those sometime, but I am unwilling to renew my XBOX gold subscription just for that. I guess I will wait until there's something else I want to do with the gold.

Well, that's like any genre, it can be an extra mode or a game by itself. Rather than people moving on, you can just ignore them.

Splatoon 2 and SSB Battle Royal Mode confirmed.
