I assume PUBG is on the #1 because of game sales, but because of key sales to unlock crates. I could be wrong though!

4. Easy repetition; joining a new match instantly after a loss keeps the player engaged.

Maybe they can be the first ones to create a battle royale mode that is actually a fully fleshed out game, instead of a empty shell of a dayz clone with other mechanics hindered by being an afterthought to the core "loot places and kill people" mechanic. And no, pubg does not count. Look at how vehicles handle in that game; it looks like it's still in beta. dice could nail vehicles and make them actually feel decent, and i'm all for that. fortnite feels really jank because it ends up devolving into a "spam construction pieces" battle at the end of the match, and that type of gameplay is very shallow IMO. Sure its fast-paced and exciting and fun at times, but the gameplay mechanic feels very much out of place in a battle royale type game. having defensive barriers and stuff is nifty, but just being able to spam them everywhere freely is detrimental to a deeper gameplay experience that could be there.

given the success of pubg/fortnite, its a no-brainer that the major fps franchises will be exploring this multiplayer mode, and the battlefield series is perfect because it already has the large player infrastructure down very well, and an engine thats been built already with pretty much everything that this type of game would need.

If you think you can make something, do more work towards making it before showing it off. Blah blah, only one chance to make a first impression. How many games pick up steam later on in life, especially after a mediocre-or-worse launch? Fortnite, by completely changing what the game was (to the point that the title no longer makes sense), and... uh...?

Hahaha this is perfect. I think this is one of the things that's turned me off Bethesda games in the last few years, ever since Skyrim. The constant unceasing looting. Corpses to loot full of apples and potatoes and candles and silver cups and platters. Cupboards and closets everywhere. Every time I see a Draugr corpse in a dungeon I'd feel compelled to take the 3 coins rusting away on it.

Fallout 4 would be even worse if I need to loot all these dumb housing components whenever I see them (in addition to all the ammo, various armor, weapons to sell, and then animal/insect parts, in addition to silver platters and cold war era scotch). "Ooh this corpse has a "Leather Couch Left Armrest Upholstery" better grab that if I ever want a nice looking couch. And this chest has kitchen chair pads so I don't scuff my house's floor when I sit in the chair!"

So what else can they do besides banning them (with the side effect forcing the cheaters to buy another copy of the game if they want to play)? Is there some other way to deter cheating that they aren't doing? Who cares if it makes the company a little extra money if it's only cheaters paying? If you can't ban a cheater for life from your game, then at least they should have to pay more. Yeah, some of that money becomes profit but certainly some of it will get invested back into the game to make it better.

It is super incredibly obvious when someone is cheating, it should never come down to "Hmm, maybe this person is just good." You'll watch the Death Cam and see them firing into the ground over and over again, since many of the cheats circumvent line-of-sight mechanics. Aimbotting is common as well, in which you'll see their reticule snap straight to someone's head, kill them in 1 second, instantly snap to another head, kill them in 1 second, etc. If you keep an eye on the killcam (edit: killfeed) as well, it is easy to spot cheaters, as their name keeps popping up with kill after kill.

In 3rd person, cheating is an epidemic in this game. I've had days when it was every other match, sometimes game after game after game. Switched to 1st person, and almost never see a cheater, so that works for now.

I've got a code with my new video card, I don't want to activate it because I'm not interested in that game. Suggestions? I know if I sell/trade the person needs to have a 1080 or 1080 Ti.

Bright dust can be acquired by dismantling shaders/ships/sparrows. You get tons of these with just regular play so not that bad unless the prices are ridiculous like 3000 bright dust.

If there’s a specific Dawning item that you have your heart set on, Tess will refresh her inventory each week, enabling you to use your Bright Dust reserves for your holiday shopping. On one week or another during the three-week event, you’ll find every Dawning-themed exotic (ship, ghost, sparrow, emote) and every Dawning-themed legendary armor piece on her shelves.

Is They Are Billions a real-time strategy, or a tower defense?

Creston wrote on Dec 17, 2017, 17:16:
They are billions LOL

Scroll to the end of the video, and then watch just how fucking MANY zombies attack him. It's literally like ten thousand of them. He keeps going "How do I stop this??" and I'm pretty sure the answer is "you don't."

This game BADLY needs AoE defenses/attacks. Having to kill 10000 zombies one at a time is impossible. Those Minigun turrets are probably wasting 95% of their damage per shot. Why aren't they simply rotating and mowing down entire ROWS of zombies?

Fortnite is a much more action loaded and fast game. You loot fast, you find good stuff everywhere and you always feel like you achieved something, even if you didnt win.
In PUBG the several loading screens after each match, the long waiting time before a game starts, the long dive down, the frustration when you only find crap and cant defend yourself against well equipped people, is bad enough. But as you said, its also clunky as hell still, and in some cases worse than before.
I know we had our different opinions on Fortnite, but Fortnite is far better than PUBG.

Basically XIM takes a mouse and keyboard and translates it into controller inputs for consoles so you can use M/K controls on a PS4 or XB1. But people are using it on the PC version of Destiny 2 in the competitive multiplayer tricking it into thinking you're using a controller, but you're actually using a M/K. This bundled with the fact that aim assist is VERY liberal in how close you have to be before it locks on basically means you have a very good, fully sanctioned aim hack with mouse and keyboard.

Going to admit this...

...I just now got the pun in the game's title, after seeing it posted here a bunch of times.
