Don't have a PC good enough to run this so excited for Tuesday. Preordered it for XB1.

Anyone else getting it?

It's not on my radar right now. I'm already juggling so many games. Trying to put in game time on Assassin's Creed Origins, Middle Earth: Shadow of War, Star Wars Battlefront II, Call of Duty WWII, Fallout 4, Metal Gear Solid 5, HZD: Frozen Wilds plus I really have been hankering to play Just Cause 3, Ghost Recon Wildlands and Watch Dogs 2 again.

I'm juggling so many damn games right now, I have no plans on buying a single new game until March at the absolute earliest unless there is some ungodly, unbelievable once in a lifetime sale on PSN between now and New Years.

Not sure why I didn't get release day delivery on it but oh well, it's here TODAY! Might try to stream.

Best finish tonight was 19th and 4 kills. Still rough around the edges because it's early access, but I can see how so many are addicted to it.

Ahhhhhhh just finished 3rd in the last round! My previous best was 19th. Tried to hide in the house and got a grenade tossed in. Should have stayed outside. That was EXCITING!

Damn you, you're making this sound interesting and fun. I've already got too many games I'm trying to juggle, lol.

I'm interested too but I just don't have the time for another game.

Here's my broadcast of the game last night. Thanks to CLW and Gigem for coming in to bullshit with me last night :D

I'm having a blast with this game, I can see why it's breaking Steam records for concurrent players.

First patch is in. https://www.polygon.com/2017/12/19/16795634/playerunknowns-battlegrounds-xbox-one-patch-pubg

Word is this game is 6 months behind the PC cycle, but they're getting Microsoft's backing so things will be on the up and up fast I think. Regardless of the issues, I still have a blast with it.

I said it during your last stream but I just don't get why this game is so..... popular. Seems like a fairly shallow jenky game with all sorts of bugs/issues that if they were on a "real" AAA shooter people would be livid.

It's the original concept that is going to be copied in every AAA shooter for the next decade.

Fortnite already copied it.

There really isn't a shooter like it with this format because well they invented the genre. People can look past the other stuff because the game is truly fun to play.

If I’m reading this right, this game is just a modern day version of M.A.G. on the PS3, right?

No it's a completely new genre in the shooting world. MAG was a team game, this is everyone for themselves.

You start by parachuting onto an island with 99 other players and you try to scavenge for guns, armor, and everything else. After a certain amount of time, the circle you have to stay within shrinks; which makes it more likely you'll start running into others. You die you're done, the game ends when the last person is left alive.

I may try to stream some tonight at either 5:30 central or 9:00.

Bringing this thread back up. It would be great if we could get a Tailgate group going for this. I believe it's only PC and XBOX1 that are cross platform though... correct?

It's not out right now on PS4 because its one of those Xbox 1 "exclusive" - which really means we paid for a timed exclusive window.

That's how you do it...

Mobile version out today.

975844708726394880

This should appease Android users and also those on iOS who have been waiting for a Fortnite mobile invite to no avail.

Here's a video of my first match on PUBG, got a kill, but ended up on the wrong side of the circle...
