    Giving PUBG a 6 (well, 5.5) because I knew what it was going in: unpolished, glitchy, poor graphics and texture, poor gameplay.

Anyone who picked up this game expecting different just hasn't done their research on the game or watched any gameplay on YouTube. PUBG is not supposed to be about AAA aesthetics. Yes, the game sucks. Yes, I get killed very frequently and it gets frustrating with a K/D of only 0.15. This game has made me want to throw my controller several times, the mark of a truly special game.
    But it's still fun AF and addictive. The more kills you get, the more you want to play. Dune buggies, vehicle kills, frying pans, weapon attachments, parachuting on top of other players, that's what PUBG is supposed to be about. Never before have I sucked so bad at such an ugly game, but playing more matches is all i can think about! This game is probably ideal for people with addictive personalities. Keep your expectations in check and just enjoy the game for what it is.    … Expand

    Now I’m not a fan of online multiplayers particularly shooters of which this is so I’m new to this and wow it’s a tough learning curve. First rule of thumb is check out all the online tips, tricks and hints. And surprisingly you actually win without nearly firing a shot so it’s not all about running around trying in vain to kill any and everyone. Stealth is your friend.

First rule of thumb is check out all the online tips, tricks and hints. And surprisingly you actually win without nearly firing a shot so it’s not all about running around trying in vain to kill any and everyone. Stealth is your friend. Don’t land near lots of buildings. Yes there are technical glitches, frame rate issues and stuff but basically wait until there is around 15-10 of you left if you survive and then hope for the best. So online multiplayer shooter, no it’s a stealth online multiplayer with shooting elements. And I’ve just realised too, you will if your new to this be players are on this like 24/7 who play on PC and or XBOX so I wouldn’t think your PS4 to PS4 exclusive PUBG, so it’ll be like PC to XBOX, PS4 to XBOX, so it’s anybodys game on any console. But it’s bloody tough.… Expand

    While this game is the "daddy" of the battle royale craze, I think it just doesn't hold up to the more recent ones, including black ops 4 and apex legends. It's strength is that it's probably the most tactical, skill based, hardcore battle royale game out today, but other than that everything else falls flat.

It's strength is that it's probably the most tactical, skill based, hardcore battle royale game out today, but other than that everything else falls flat. Graphically looks like an early ps3 game, and framerate can drop at times, you can almost always see textures pop in. The gameplay itself is really hardcore third person/fps (no hit markers or aim assist). this game clearly shines when you squad up with mic working as a team. Even if everything goes smoothly and you win a game, remember it's only glorified team deathmatch and rng. You need a lot of time and research to get good at this game.. in other words not a very accessible game. You want my advice especially as a solo gamer wanting in battle royale? Try bops 4 (especially after squad play now exists) or apex legends, not nearly as tactical but just as hard/rng/teambased as this game only more casual, and bops 4 and apex legends are 20x more refined mechanically and graphically than this "ok" game.… Expand

    When did the Battle Royale mode come on? It all started in 2015 when H1Z1: King of the Hill, developed by Daybreak Game Company arrived in Steam's Early Access. But it was the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds to give popularity to this mode. Since then, games like Fortnite: Battle Royale, Realm Royale, thre Blackout mode of the Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, and future Battlefield V FirestormWhen did the Battle Royale mode come on? It all started in 2015 when H1Z1: King of the Hill, developed by Daybreak Game Company arrived in Steam's Early Access. But it was the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds to give popularity to this mode. Since then, games like Fortnite: Battle Royale, Realm Royale, thre Blackout mode of the Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, and future Battlefield V Firestorm mode being developed by Criterion Games with the partnership of EA DICE, have been following this Battle Royale madness. And almost 1 year after leaving for the Xbox One and PC, behold finally comes to the console of Sony.

    Being a Battle Royale, exploiting, looting and surviving, are the watchwords in this PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. But let's go in parts. We have 4 modes to choose from: Solo, Duo (2 players), Squad (4 players) and 1-Man Squad. We start inside a plane, always with different trajectories, along with the remaining 99 players, and we have to choose a place where we want to land. But be careful if there are enemy players nearby and if so, it is sensible to change direction, otherwise there is a huge risk of being killed at first. After we've landed and since we have nothing but fists, you'd better explore houses to get bulletproof vests, backpacks, guns, mufflers, and other gear to help us survive. You should also be aware of supply drops that are stuffed with good things. We also have lots of vehicles to use (if needed). During our adventures on the map, the red areas appear. These are zones that we have to avoid at 100%, unless you are in the mood to take some explosives. As is usual in the genre, we have to go to the safety zone on the map to avoid being eliminated from the game. The more time passes (if we are still alive), the smaller the safety zone becomes, until it is reduced to nothing.

    But calm down. PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds have a high learning curve, but the game provides us with a way in which we can train the mechanics of the game. It's a great way to get used to the gameplay before we go to the wolf's mouth. What about the available maps? It's only 3 (4 if we count with the Vikendi, which arrives in January for the consoles), but they are huge and there are lots of places to explore. The maps are the Miramar, Erangel and Sanhok. And they are all based on real regions of our world. These are just a few small points in favor of this game. What isn't in favor of this PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, is the graphics, frame rate and textures that take time to load.

    Visually, the game isn't appealing and considering that runs only at 30 FPS, they could have done a better job in this department. Even Blackout of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, which run at 60 FPS, features better graphics than PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. Even in the frame rate issue, the work in this part is little famous. There is always a drop of 10 frames when we are using the parachute and it is something that PUBG Corporation should have already corrected. Outside of that, I have no great reasons for frame rate complaints during gameplay and during some confrontation with some adversary. Textures that take time to load right in front of us, unfortunately, is something that often happens.

    In PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, the player can choose third-person or first-person perspective. Despite these technical issues, oddly enough the gameplay of PUBG is addictive, especially if we play as a team, thanks to the more realistic side. It's sure to be very frustrating in the first matches and the game is not for everyone. A false move can be fatal and accurate shots are required. Obviously, it isn't mandatory but it is recommended to use your headset to have a better perception of your surroundings and where the danger comes from. Otherwise, it is difficult to hear the footsteps or shots of our opponents, for example.

    Depending on our performance (deaths, survival time for example), at the end of the game we gain BP points and experience points. As we level our survivor level with our experience points, we get a special item. It can be a cosmetic item for our character or BP points. There are daily and weekly missions to make and win xp, such as playing three games or using 8 first aid kits. We can at least change one of our 3 daily missions once if we don't like this or that daily mission. BP points are used to purchase boxes with a random cosmetic item, Helmets or Camos. However, certain items can only be purchased with G-Coins (Micro-transactions). In short, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is a good game despite the technical problems.

    Veredict: Although technically poor performance, PUBG can be good thanks to realistic gameplay.    … Expand

I picked up PUBG for PS4 and it's been pretty fun so far, but the graphics is stunningly bad, there are times when you just can't make out what's in the distance due to popping texture and lack of anti-aliasing.

    Мне нравится PUBG именно за свою простоту и прямолинейность. Геймплей максимально минималистичен, медлителен и не перегружен дополнительными функциями. Прикольно минут 10 бегать всей командой и собирать амуницию, чтобы в конце 3 минуты пострелять и даже победитьМне нравится PUBG именно за свою простоту и прямолинейность.

    The temperature of the gameplay dropped – not only thanks to the new winter map. The technical side of the game has always been its Achilles’ heel and the standard PS4 version reminds of it quite brutally. [03/2019, p.81]

    While PUBG delivers the core gameplay of the battle royale genre, it doesn't manage to do it with the sophistication of competing battle royale games on the PS4. It looks and plays like an alpha build of a game that's focusing on getting the basics worked out without worrying about optimization or graphical polish. It's also a threadbare offering, giving you a single game mode while games like Black Ops 4 and Battlefield V give you a whole lot more game modes beyond their battle royale modes. PUBG may have come first to the genre on other platforms, but its PS4 debut feels like a game that the world has long ago passed by.

    There's fun to be had as a social experience, and PUBG is certainly better than the sum of its many subpar parts, but the resources earned through the record-breaking success of PUBG have not translated into a game that holds up in the current climate of high-end shooters, and we can only hope that if major updates (or a sequel of sorts) are on the way, that PUBG's success supports a triple-A experience instead of a frustrating one that looks and feels dated.
