>I've been playing Player Unknown's Battlegrounds for about a week.
Very good summary. And it pretty much covers why it's not for me -- I'd
likely get frustrated with dying repeatedly without ever seeing who got me
:) It does sound great for the modern casual gamer: Jump in immediately,
play a fixed length round, repeat as desired. But this all-on-the-surface
gameplay is also it's drawback, and I'm seeing multiple posts where players
fairly quickly get to the 'ok, I've seen all there is to this' point, and
they're done.
You don't mention playing with teammates, but one positive comment I've seen
is that in PUBG you don't have to worry about what they're doing or not
doing, as in some of these competitive MP games.
I like the audio tips. Audio is so neglected in games. Does PUBG directly
support surround sound in some fashion? I've pre-ordered a '3D headphone'
set, but how well it will be supported is a big unknown.
