Wow - not heard this argument before. If only you'd told me before I bought the game, you'd have saved me hours of enjoyment.

WOW! £19.99 to become a beta tester & to think but a few years ago THEY would pay YOU to test their buggy software.
What a bargain! I have many of the finest gossamer suits that are only visible to the most clever & superior of humans for sale for £100 if anyone needs one. What a bargain!! That's two in one day & you cannot do better than that.

So many people in here that have clearly not tasted enough chicken dinner :stuck_out_tongue:

Brilliant game, gets the heart going in the last 5.

Are you confused? Drunk? Or just plain stupid?

Deal has expired, now gone up in price. Gutted. Missed it by a day!

I've been playing games for since before you could by them on cassette tape, there has always been some one saying you could get paid for beta testing, but I have never known any one who got a cent.

Most you can hope for is a vanity item or title on launch, after you paid for the title.

To me paid beta = urban myth.

Hottest deal that could have probably ever existed. Honestly.

Thanks for the reply. I wasn't sure if the game was just broken at the weekends with it's 10 million+ users already. I suspect my router is a bit dodgy to be honest so I'll take a look.

Yes, a number of sites carried that article on the 6th July, which is why on the 7th July PLayerunknown decided to comment on it and say that they couldn't keep to his initial promise from earlier in the year (the comment about 6 months).

Many of the gaming press covered it on the 7th, here are just a couple of them :

https://www.pcgamesn.com/playerunknowns-battlegrounds/pubg-early-access-leave-date

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2017-07-07-playerunknowns-battlegrounds-full-launch-date-has-been-delayed

Yes. I won a match. And im carp at multi. Only killed one guy.

Well, they are a bit more expensive. but I would not call it OVERPRICED.

My laptop:
7th Generation Intel® Core™ i5-7300HQ Quad Core (6MB Cache, up to 3.5 GHz)
15.6-inch FHD (1920 x 1080) Anti-Glare LED-Backlit Display
8GB, 2400MHz, DDR4
256GB Solid State Drive
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 with 4GB

Dell Inspiron Gaming 7600 Series It cost me 800 GBP


Similar configuration desktop.. is basically - not that cheaper. at least, if it's cheaper, the gap will be minimal. and in addition, I would have to buy all peripherals, like keyboard, monitor, cables, etc.

Now, my laptop actually sits on my lap when I play games and I sit on the sofa. So, in addition to that, I need a spare desk for that desktop.
And the last reason - lack of space which could be dedicated for desk for my desktop.

so tell me, how the desktop would be my savior? :smiley:

otherwise, yeah, desktop would allow me to have probably a bit more powerful system, but in the very end, I am very satisfied with my laptop performance... and price for that matter :wink:

I believe that gaming laptops are overpriced and unnecessary. If u have space for gaming laptop u surely have space for a monitor. U can even put your PC in a separate room and use STEAM link. I totally get why people buy them but it is waste of money. I know this firsthand. I used to own gaming laptop lol.

Quick google search brings up this: https://theenterprisedaily.com/2017/07/06/playerunknowns-battlegrounds-guaranteed-leave-early-access-october

Article posted July 6th 2017..

sometimes people do not have place to keep desktop and wish to have some sort of flexibility.

my laptop performs really well in games.. it's gaming laptop. so why not??

it will be fine at high and full hd mate :smiley:

I run this on my Insipiron Gaming 7000 series:
i5 7th gen
GTX1050 (non ti)
8 gb ram
SSD

So run it on high settings, but comfortable play for me is not fullHD (1080p) but one step lower resolution. then I get >60 fps

go and play a non early access game

job done

some of the stuff ive read from you have just been plain trolling.

so sad.

They had promised that back in March but recently said that is no longer the case, and have changed it to Q4 2017 'at the earliest', so it may not even be this year.

However, I think the game is in a pretty decent state already, enough to have plenty of fun in and look forward to more to come.

Donations greatly received :wink:

I would say not sorry, maybe time to upgrade.

I understood most of that haha. I have a 2014 2.5Ghz i7 MacBookPro with 16GB memory will that be good enough?

Will run it no problem.

You can grind for all ships in-game so you only need to buy a starter package and away you go! But i have upgrade/bought/won some ships so managed to end up with 3 now! I have said that is it and no more, but i knew what ships i wanted and didn't fancy grinding to much. Some is fine but not when i have to grind 99% of the time i play to get anything.

Cheers dude but in more important news Buzz has changed his avatar! 8):smile:

Great game. Far more finished than many "released" titles these days. Buy it, try it, can't lose at this price. Still a bit buggy at times but to be expected considering what they are doing. Devs are making really nice updates, perf updates in the last patch were very good.

5 years? Dev team have already promised an October 2017 full release..

I think the loot system is fine, it's meant to be hard to find stuff, otherwise everyone will be kitted out by the 10th minute and it may as well just be a free for all death match on a large match. The RNG is what makes BR games, the loot was the same in Arma BR (which PlayerUnknown created).. H1Z1 died because as soon as you land you find the best weapon and you're sorted for the rest of the game, PUBG is literally doing the polar opposite. The key to finding good loot is going to a high populated area and out playing the other players.

No longer £19.79 the price is £22.79 and the coupon code dont work.

Its great i just came 5th in a game i got 4 pistol kills cause i didnt find a gun better for most of it lol.

Yeah maybe but his laptop clearly is not up to the task .... Gaming laptops are not worth it. They cost a lot and screen is soooo small. Lol.

Mouse and keyboard 'mod' is fine, used to play against pc players with mouse and keyboard on shadow run and there didn't seem to be the such a big advantage as made out online.

Could you point me to the Xbox One hack as I haven't run across any yet and would be interested in seeing them.

I have come across some PC player unknown hacks and watching the videos of them you are lucky to kill them as they show all the players with red boxes and the distance away. And auto head shots. Really ruins the game for me as there is no skill to it.

Unless you come up against people playing in different regions, mouse and keyboards or a hacked Xbox.

I agree I've not seen any cheaters in 137+ hours, maybe there have been but when I've died its felt like my own fault. They also have lags switch block which freezes screen of anyone with very high ping/lag switch. You probably haven't been on EU servers all the time though. I monitor/block the servers through my router and although you select EU(only Frankfurt available in EU) 7 times out of 10 you will be connected to east coast US servers. I hope they sort that as its the cause of many peoples lag.

Whatever you say, however that does not detract from my initial 100% truthful & honest comments does it?

That makes no sense. As per a lot of your other comments.

I see what you mean but he has the free will to do if he chooses.

Stop you're embarrassing yourself.

Yeah bud, there should be a 8x, Kar98, Scar and level 3 armour in every building.

So many people in here that have clearly not tasted enough chicken dinner :stuck_out_tongue:

Brilliant game, gets the heart going in the last 5.

you need to eject from the plane earlier - for example the power station is full of all the loot you need, the high risk obvious areas are where the best loot is

dont get me wrong
i think the game is great once its finished but its very frustrating now, you loot and cant find a any scope and after about 45 min of looting you get sniped and dont know where the hell you got shot from. the loot system is broke and they need to fix it asap or it would be the same as H1Z1

I run it on my £800 laptop without issue. Mid-high settings constant 60-70fps.

This code wont work for me today :disappointed:

Game looks awful in third person. Never understood the popularity of it.

However the realistic first person mode.... Now that looks ridiculous. I'd love to play that in 5 years when the game is finally out of beta.

Watch jackfrags video on youtube about realistic mode, its beautiful.

Lag got sorted out last patch, haven't seen any lag since on EU servers.. of course there's still bugs but they're not game breaking, they'll get ironed out soon enough. The dev team have already given it a full release date sometime in October, which means it will be in early access for around 6 months, a lot better than other early access games that have stayed in that state for 4 years+.. as for cheaters, I have 300 hours played and haven't come across a single one.. to each their own I guess.

Fun for about 25-30 hours, then it just gets repetitive. But worth the price of admission!

To my bank :wink:

Well, i got the 10% code, applied it to basket (worked), clicked on paypal to pay, logged in - payment total was correct in paypal, came back to cdkeys and the discount had vanished.

Where did you take the bullet?

Cheating on the PC version is the reason I am waiting for it to be released on the Xbox. You know it's a level playing ground then.

Runs great on mine in Bootcamp but it is a 2017 i7 CPU & R580 8GB GPU. Guess it comes down to the GPU you have. I would think it would be OK on a 295x or 395x.

The game does look like it could be incredible. I saw a couple of racing videos a while back and it looked like it would be a lot of fun. Do you have to spend much more money past the initial buy in? I always get scared off when I start scrolling through the ship list and see ships for hundreds of dollars.



It's not like they've done a For Honor where they spent a load of cash to keep it on stream but the game wasn't up to it. There's over 367,000 people playing this right now. That's probably more than are playing all battlefields and call of dutys across all platforms combined. Not bad for a game that's been in early access for less than 4 months!

Theres cheaters on every game, but the amount of butthurt people calling out "Cheater!" when they die, floods the actual amount of cheaters.

Does this run on Mac? (Yes before anyone says it, I appreciate Windows is better for gaming, but until I can afford another system...)

This is a must buy - 4 million can't be wrong - and for under £20 it's a steal. SEARING.

Top 2 is best I've done, but some of my old CS Clan mates have had chicken dinners in squad mode a few times. This game has literally stopped me playing everything else, it's brilliant. Yes, it's buggy, but if you get down to that last 10 in the ever shrinking circle of death, the tension is incomparable to anything else in this genre.

the game is buggy, lags a lot, server issues, loot issues as well as cheaters. but has the potential to be a great game

for now dont get it unless your are happy to waste many hours and get very little satisfaction from the game plus countless rage quits

Because plenty of laptops are decent gaming rigs. If it has the specs to run the game then it doesn't matter if it's a desktop or laptop.

With people complaining about variety, I tend to play many FPS online, from BF1 to RB6 Siege.. PUBG has to be one of the only games to grip me straight away and it's kept that grip on me since I first started playing it. Currently on 300 hours played. Modes include solos which I spend most of my time on, you vs 99 other players, last one wins. Duos which I also really like, teams of two battle it out till the end.. and then squads.. teams of 4.. this mode is fun if you just want to casually kill without caring about your surroundings since you'll most likely have a team mate next to you to take the fight on.. and by next month we will also have first person servers, so no more camping behind a corner waiting for someone to run by.. there's also custom modes which are unranked and have different rules including a zombies mode where the zombies are controlled by real players.

If you're struggling to run it, just remember that this game demands high CPU usage.. the better your CPU the more frames you'll get.. if you're trying to run it on a laptop.. unless it's one of those 'gaming' over £3k+ laptop then you've got no chance. A decent i5 and GTX 970 will run this game at 60fps with decent settings absolutely fine, and both can be bought in used condition for around £300.

You are gaming on laptop. Wow. I mean why would u do this to yourself?

Good deal, very tempted. Green Man Gaming has just this morning sent me a Voucher with 27% of this game, making it £19.70.

Are you confused? Drunk? Or just plain stupid?

Who put 50p in the moron?!

Doubt it, but pigs might fly, you never know you might of posted a deal or 2 by then too

I have a voucher from Green Man Gaming for 27% off so it comes out to £19.70. Would anyone like it?

This will be free to play by Jan 2nd Mark my words.

I bought the game for £27 last week and I have to say the game is a lot rougher than I was expecting, even for early access. I've got a decent rig but the game is horribly optimized so I can only get about 20-25 FPS.

Yeah, just like CSGO that only has 750k concurrent players.

Thing is with the type of game it isn't the game which is particularly great, it's the playerbase who have flocked to it.

You will be left stranded the next hot trending multiplayer game gets released, and this will become a husk of a game with long wait queues.

Still heat for the deal, with code it's now cheaper than sellers on ebay and I have been looking to pick it up myself!

nope, by the droves of people on forums and discord that are constantly playing and talking about it.

I'm a complete PC noob... What sort of specs and price would a PC needed to play this be?

Are you still going?

The circle only seems to speed up dependent on where you are. If you are on the west side of the circle and it moves far east it will move faster for you than it will for people on the east side of the circle due to having to cover more distance. It really is random where the circle moves to though. Give it another try with some friends. It's great fun.

this is my game of the year so far on PC - it requires some thinking ahead, tactics and skill to win a game, it's not casual like Battlefield etc

I got this on Steam on Friday night, but refunded one game later (top 30 then killed by the blue circle because it sped up...), personally feels like it should just be a mod for *insert fps of choice here*.. Not enough there for stand alone in my opinion and I'd get bored.

This is a better price though, but just not for me.

can i get my battle royale with cheese ?

Thank you. Tell me, is there much work as a member of the spelling police these day's with the majorty except me using spellcheckers?

From what justdavey says they appear to be torlls attempting to torll me. Some people huh?

They were crafted from the wings of internet fairies & then woven by the illuminati therefore producing the finest & softest material known to man!
They were far beyond the comfort of a memory foam mattress costing £1000's of pounds that replaced a £5.00 lump of foam from the market in most homes. Quite a remarkable feat to say the least. Great value at £100 each inc taxes & shipping.

OK I will stop feeding them although I must say I did not consider them as Trolls but as attention seekers.

Buy whatever you want for you're party alone on the internet in you're room to play. That's your decision after all.
However you seem to be drifting away from my post so let's get back on topic.
What fault can you find in my initial 100% honest post?

Illuminati confirmed

There is an issue with your internet connection as the reason for that message is because your ping went too high. Its to stop cheats using lags switches as when your ping goes high they freeze you on the screen with that message. Its brilliant they have added the feature imo. The only issue I have with connection is when you select EU servers they connect you to US servers about 7 out of 10 times. I use a Netduma router to block US servers but every time it connects to US servers that are blocked I have to crash the game and reload to try again. I presume there will be more servers when game is fully out as there is only Frankfurt for Europe at the moment and I ping about 25ms to that.

As for price its HOT as its best game I've ever played (40 years old so had a lot of gaming). I've had quite a few 7/8am finishes as you just keep thinking one more game. I'm not even that good at the game but its so addictive.

Some people are gamers,
some people are not.

Some people are nice,
some eat snot.

Great game. I am waiting for the Xbox version later this year.

Great game!

Grab a Mustang starter ship, much better than the Aurora.

It's a great time to hop in to Star Citizen as you'll learn the game before the big version 3 hits, this is a new video talking about reclamation, but really I'd recommend watching the last 3/4 Around the Verse episodes (they give behind the scenes of game development):

Game will be like no other, different to PUBG, which is also great.

Add me, steam link Page 1, we can all squad up for some chicken.

Nice one Buzz. A group of us were just discussing this game last week and moving over from King of the Kill. Couldn't justify it at £27 but at this price we've taken the leap :smile:

Thanks, just bought 2!

Thanks for sharing. Bought it. Heat

By word of mouth you mean paying skint streamers to create a hype

Personally, I can't see myself paying more than £12-15 for this kind of game.

Stop feeding the troll, it's a good deal for people who are interested and that's it.

You must be fun to be with at a party.

Alternatively, buy Skyrim and play bug free right? :^D
Then buy the re-released version, for more bug free experiences :^^^D

Dammit. Just bought this at full price. Bloody good fun though.

Why are people still responding to SixtyFive? He seems...odd.

Anyone else having problems with it lagging earlier today? I bought it for full whack from the Steam store but kept getting a "network lag detected" message. Tried on the EU and NA servers with no luck.

Got a refund in the end because it was just too annoying for the money I'd paid for it.

I think your bottleneck is the GPU. That's CPU still kicks some ass. Find an old 970 or something along those lines and you'll notice an immediate improvement over the 285.....those things were like space heaters

Did you find the the suits in the cave you have been hiding in? That's the only explanation I think of for you to make this comment for PUBG.

I don't understand why people are saying its badly optimised. Its one of the biggest streamed games at the moment with all the top streamers playing it really smoothly.

I have no issue running it at 60fps+

Can't wait for console release myself!

Arma 3 is still on test so is DAYZ standalone.

I'm running it fine on a i5 2500k and a r9 285 at around 45 fps. I mean its on low settings but fairly stable. It would run without a doubt and be playable, but just how high you can crank it is a mystery. My bottleneck definitely seems to be my aging sandy bridge cpu though.

It's not beta though it's early access. Beta is the bug fixing/optimizing phase once a game is feature complete. Early access is something different where you pay to play a game in an early state, and no one is forcing you to take part.

Your

This isnt a triple A game studio that is making this game, without early access these sorts of games wouldn't see the light of day...

What I believe you are trying to say is that you had no valid question so are now going to attempt to mirror what you perceive as you're own failings on to me.
No valid question - No discussion.

Awesome game! :P

If you are going to reply to me can you do it in English please, I'm a simple man and I don't understand this language you're speaking.

And what do you're questions have to do with my initial post that is absolute honesty?
Can you challenge them or not?

Brilliant. Was waiting for sub £20 and now a the time to bite!

At least you actually get the game with early access. Personally I would never touch kickstarter because of the high risk of never seeing any sort of product.

Thanks m8 its on my list to purchase whats your steam name just downloading PUBG now could do with some allies :smiley:

And yes Elite was dull I thought and it just didn't grab me either.

Come on - he has to be troll. No-one else would bother to re-hash such a tired old argument for the umpteenth time or get worked up over something he could just happily ignore instead. Unless he's trying to tell us what we should and shouldn't enjoy of course - but that would just be weird, wouldn't it?

Aurora LN is what I started with. I hated it but it is being reworked at the moment so will be better. I bought ithe game in Jan 2016 so not as long as some.When I found out about it I thought this is the game I have been waiting for! I think it is worth it now as there is enough to do for a few sesssions-there is a FPS part now, plus missions, plus races or co op battles or team death battles. The price will only keep going up as it gets closer to release. I would be certain the next free fly will be 3.0's release as that ( and 3.1 onwards) will definitely be worth the entrance fee so they will want to get more subscribers by showing it off.

Thanks m8 took a punt on Elite Dangerous in the steam sale not that impressed by it but Star citizen seems easier to pick up and more engaging with others players, been waiting for a free fly for a couple of months but nothing?

Which starter pack did you purchase or were you an original pledge to the crowdfunder? would you recommend it in its current state to people?

Well by August the next big release called 3.0 will be out- that will show the basics of the complete game. They should have a free fly week then so you can give it a try. It's like some GTA5, Elite Dangerous,COD/BF type cross thingy.

Whats SC like been tempted a few times but put off by the entry ship price for an alpha game that doesnt seem to be moving forward anytime soon?

Early access is a great way for people to vote with their wallets on some less mainstream games to show the big publishers who don't take risks what we actually want to play. But maybe we should all listen to crap like this and let all these smaller studios fade out of business while we await the sterile big publisher approved titles like Call of Duty 2017 edition.

Have you heard there is this even crazier thing called Kickstarter where you pay money and you DON'T EVEN GET TO PLAY THE GAME FOR MONTHS OR YEARS! Perhaps you can give us some of your thoughts on that? Can't wait to be enlightened.

WOW! £19.99 to become a beta tester & to think but a few years ago THEY would pay YOU to test their buggy software.
What a bargain! I have many of the finest gossamer suits that are only visible to the most clever & superior of humans for sale for £100 if anyone needs one. What a bargain!! That's two in one day & you cannot do better than that.

Badly optimised and laggy but still worth the money.

Also add me on steam TickleMyRim I need some people to play with

I have pretty much the same specs and I'm running everything high/ultra at a steady 60fps

Top game. Brings hours of entertainment if you have friends to play with.

Well I can't argue the fact that you're paying for an early access game and that in the past you could get payed to play beta games. Thing is, I don't have access to a time machine, don't know about you? My argument is more about your sarcastic "what a bargain," this is a good price (the best price afaik) for this early access/beta game whatever you wanna call it and a huge number of people are playing and enjoying it.

Not sure how. I've got i5 6600k with evga 1070 8gb. Maxed out on ultra im at 70fps+

I already have H1Z1, Is this any different or more of the same? And more importantly, better or worse?

And? You're point against my facts are?

There is NO argument except for the one in you're mind that you are attempting to embroil me in. I simply stated fact.

You're paying to own the game (to the extent that anyone owns a game), not to be a beta tester. The game is in a better state right now than many fully released games ever reach, so your argument holds no water in this case.

Good price

Quick summary -

99 players screaming obscenities down the mic while everyone joins the game, you then bail out of a plane, aim at nearest building - sprint around to get a weapon, leave the building, get sniped by someone who you can’t see.

Rinse/repeat until you want to punch your screen.

That being said, I am rubbish at these games!

Add me - we can win http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197968665713/:man:

Lol cdkeys is down. You killed it buzz. (y)

You seem to be the only person who has used the word stupid. What i Have stated is simple fact. Now about this suit....

I assure you it's fact.
Next!

I have a suit that only the most clever of humans can see & you seem to be the boy for that suit! It's a bargain at £100 & you even get the pleasure of getting it in kit form for you to enjoy it even more.

Bought it and my laptop can't run it (embarrassed)

Quick Summary: 99 Players, Very Quick to get into a game ( maybe 2 mins ). Jump out of plane and parachute down onto island, Find guns and stuff in buildings huts etc, Try to be Last Person alive. Also has motorbikes and cars. During game a zone reduces slowly at first, being outside causes damage, eventually reducing to a 4 man standoff in a quite small area ( although still big enough to hide ).

Nice response :laughing:

It's early access, and there's alot of game to be had here if your the type who likes Battle Royal style games. It's clearly marked everywhere that this is early access. No one is forcing you to buy it so not sure why so salty? But anyway, you could pay 20 for this or 50 for things like Mass Effect or Infinite Warfare and have been slapped in the face with a massive turd.

Bar the need for a extra map or 2, for this price I would be happy with the game in the state it is now. It's extremely fun to play alone or with friends.

Ive took the bullet and bought it so hopefully as good as it looks.

Wow - not heard this argument before. If only you'd told me before I bought the game, you'd have saved me hours of enjoyment.

Anyone know if I would be able to run this on my Inspiron 15 7000?

Winner winner chicken diner. Great game. Great price. Can't wait till they optimise it better for AMD video cards.

Really tempted by this game, but the only thing putting me off was playing Rust which is so hard to find/make stuff and just get killed straight away.

Such a good fun game. Still not managed better than top 8 though :-(

Great price for a great game.

Hot hot hot

Have some spice, I mean heat.
