    This is for PC only, right? You should probably add that in the title

      cs go is better

        as battle royal, PUBG have better looting system and more "realistic" feel to it (e.g. gun clipping to the wall, tilt left and right, bullet drop etc)

        as a shooter game in general, both sucks as there's way too many cheaters on both game, and you are almost guaranteed to meet a cheater or 2 every match in both this 2 titles.

        as far as community goes CSGO community is more toxic(I guess that's partly because there's no public text based chat in PUBG)

        as game mode goes these two are apples to oranges and can't be compared just like that.

      • b2dz on 13/12/2021 - 17:10

        About 6 months ago I tried CS GO. Didn't like it. Too commercialised. Picked up Counter Strike Source again - first time I've played CS in about 10 years. It's great. A small but active community on a couple of servers are still left over. Lots of fun.

      Many games have gone free to play and posted as a deal, even small steam titles eg1 eg2

      Going from having to pay to not having to pay on every platform is a bargain to me.

    • R-Man on 11/12/2021 - 10:54

      Please go post your voice of reason on this Target deal too then

    • sween64 on 12/01/2022 - 21:00

      30 downvotes? This is a weird response to a pretty neutral comment.

      Certainly something to be excited about but this isn't a bargain.

      It's ok - having played for 467 hours, it used to be better than it is now, but am still enjoying the game. Would recommend, especially if you have a squad.

        do they fill the servers with bots if there aren't enough players or do you mean cheaters?

      game's slowly dying in this region but you'll usually get games 6-10pm weeknights. I have 1,700 hours but these days I VPN to SEA servers.

        It doesn't use VAC…

        • eepykate on 11/12/2021 - 19:47
          +2

          Additionally, VAC's purpose isn't to get every cheater, it's designed so that if you do get VAC banned, there is a near-100% chance that you were cheating (and valve generally undoes it if they make a mistake), unlike with some more aggressive anticheats where false positives are relatively common.

    • Coltrainz on 11/12/2021 - 11:36

      Yep, a bit different. I think the core mechanics are pretty much the same, but the phone version is a bit more arcady

      • furyou on 11/12/2021 - 12:47

        I've been meaning to play the phone one again, but now there's 4-5 versions. What do I want for just some relaxed play?

        • Coltrainz on 11/12/2021 - 14:50

          In not that deep into it, sorry. But PC would not be casual, relaxing fun that's for sure. Console similarly… Usually it's 15 mins running around collecting stuff, then your sniped 🙃

      • JackFrost on 11/12/2021 - 19:25

        The mobile version is graphically simpler with a gambling engine that also had a baby with fortnight.

    Easily one of the best games that was out at the time of release, for the first few months.

    Then came the Chinese.
    No point playing this game online, but yeah maybe add it to your library if you can gather 100 people to play custom games with for shits and giggles.

    • Littlegreen on 11/12/2021 - 11:54

      So, if I want to get a 'supporting tool kit' for this FREE game, do I need to learn Chinese first? or do they have an English version?

    • squish y on 11/12/2021 - 14:09

      Ahh good times. If I saw a large group of players wearing red shirts I knew they were Chinese players playing as a team…

    As usual with PUBG decisions over the years, it takes a special kind of genius management that us mere mortals simply cannot comprehend to announce a game is going Free to Play in early December, but then actually skip the time when people are most free to play the game, during Christmas period and New Years, to attract new players who are sitting at home willing to test/play games they haven't previously tried.

    • Blitzfx on 12/12/2021 - 00:13

      Yeah, I guess they thought it was fine to ignore everyone's complaints and griefs when the money was flowing in.
      But now it's a dead game compared to Apex and Fortnite. Bluehole should just enjoy their Chinese Hacker playerbase.

    I'm not understanding the process to get the free PUGB. It seems I need to sign up with a Krafton account and link it but you need the game already installed in your system for you to link the Krafton ID (According to the guide)??

  • CrispyChrispy on 11/12/2021 - 14:52

    Free as in it'll be free to play forever or free as in game goes on sale free then goes back to normal price?

  • FasterLad on 11/12/2021 - 16:20

    There's really not that many cheaters, but you will see the same Level 500 usual suspects online that I reckon most of the complainers are calling cheaters because they're getting rekt.

    • Top G on 11/12/2021 - 16:48
      +3

      Well the cheater problem was really bad before and most have given up on hoping the devs fix it. Once Chinese gets into your game=gg

    • Aureus on 11/12/2021 - 17:06
      +1

      When a lot of people quit, the game was packed full of very obvious cheaters. If they haven't been able to detect almost all of the cheaters now, no doubt when the game goes f2p, it will be filled with cheaters again.

  • [Deactivated] on 11/12/2021 - 16:49

    Been playing PUBG heavily on PC for a few years (4k+ hours) and still having lots of fun. I play Aus servers between 7 to 10pm for better ping games and then VPN to Asia when I want more variety and less bots. Cheaters are still an issue but is not too bad and its easy to report obvious hackers quicky (I often get the ban report within the same night). It does however have a high barrier of entry as most current players are veterans and new players won't have much of a chance.

    I am hoping there will be a large influx of new players to breathe new life into the game and hopefully dilute the number of level 500 players in tight squads.

    PUBG is not the game it was even a year ago. It has so much new stuff in it now that it's a completely different experience. If more people came back and tried it they would probably realise it's still the best BR and stay.

    Paid for it on release and it ran like absolute balls, similarly to the the way it looks. A friend of mine plays it regularly and it's basically bots until the top 10 players.

    When Fortnight came out it showed how badly PUBG failed to utilize the Unreal Engine and make a smooth game. Then Warzone came out and that was in another league entirely.
