PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds PC 1.0 Reviews
- Thread starter Twin Tails
- Start date
Still more fun and contentand overall better gameplay that narrative focused games that last 7 hours.
Not to mention it supports custom game modes, so it definitely has more than one game mode.
It's a highly dynamic game mode. No other games compare. In other shooters you complete the same objectives over and over and over again. Here? Not so much.
If you put the first PUBG map next to all Battlefield 1 maps glued together, PUBG would probably still come out on top as far as area goes. And with 1.0 they're adding a map just as big as the first one.
So is battlefield 4 as the core gameplay in that is brilliant and I've played that for years. Mine and your opinions will always give games a deserving score in our minds but a critic is supposed to be more judgemental and look at games with a bit more scrutiny. A 10/10 implies perfection and it's far from that. Your opinion may give it a 10/10 and that's fine but your not "selling" your expertease at reviewing games like these so called critics, professional reviewers.
I also don't buy into its only the guys opinion, they should be more professional than that. Glad your enjoying the game anyway.
Doesn't mean someone can't have a blast playing it. Maybe people didn't play SQUAD or ARMA.
As someone who's actually played tons of Squad and ARMA and knows how they're different inside and out... please, tell me more.
Tell me about how crazy it is that, with a thousand hours in ArmA, I went and spent another 500 hours playing PUBG.
Haha, it's basic. Lots of posts from people that seem like they haven't played the game in here.
PUBG is really fun to play but I don't think it is well crafted in all aspects. Personally I'd prefer if reviews were representations of a game's overall quality rather than a statement that it has surpassed a reviewers fun threshold. Even if I disagree with the perfect score I do think PUBG deserves recognition for what it has accomplished this year flaws and all.
And some people don't want realism like Squad or Arma.
PUBG sort of meets in the middle of tactical and arcade shooter, and that works great for the game.
A 10/10 certainly does not imply perfection in any way in gaming reviews.
Ah yes the reductionist argument with a bulletpoint of "content"
If the game is fun then it's fun. Seems to be doing pretty well even when it had 1 map.
Hell Dota 2 and League have had 1 map forever now and it doesn't seem to affect them much.
I didn't say that but it makes you think and question the result. If you think this is a 10/10 then either standards have dropped or a "perfect" game is now a 11/10
Funny you say that since PUBG was originally an ARMA 3 mod, made by Playerunknown himself.
A dog could tell PUBG has it's flaws, and therefore isn't a 10.
It's got 10 potential, but I don't think reviews should consider that.

Reviews and review scores aren't meant to be a measure for how -perfect- or -flawless- something is. All of my favorite games of the year have flaws. All of my favorite games of the year were voted a 10/10, somewhere.
10/10 was never perfect.
It can be enjoyable enough for a reviewer to rate it 10/10. Don't go into it was secretly moneyhatted.
I know this is one of those controversial statements that people never seem to agree on, but in terms of critical assessment very, very few places I'm aware of assert that their highest score is intended to reflect perfection or flawlessness.
Every game has flaws. Plenty of games have 10s. They all have flaws.
And what are PUBG's faults? Curious. Because with 1.0 performance is great, gameplay is great, animations are good.
There's no such thing as a perfect video game. It's ok if you don't agree that it's a 10/10 game but acting like a critic is wrong for saying that is silly.
"run and gun"
You should actually try the game sometime. It would make it easier for you to troll it if your criticisms actually held up to any scrutiny at all.
But GTA games get 10/10s every generation. And if you go back and play them 1 or 2 years later you'll cringe at how not 10/10 they are. So that assessment does not hold true in all cases.
One of the reasons reviews usually mean nothing, when someone gives a game 5/10 and other 10/10 you know something is wrong.
I definitely think you can say a game is objectively good (Zelda, Mario, Soulsborne etc.) but this doesn't mean everyone will like it and some reviews will reflect that.
Personally speaking, perfect score means perfect game and PUBG is a far cry from that, but there's no doubt it's hella fun and I can understand someone in their honeymoon period can score it past all the glaring issues it has.

It's a fun enough game, but even on it's own terms it's still a bit of a mess. Not talking about performance, but inconsistent game structure, balance, physics, audio, UI, etc., etc.
I can see a potential version of this game being refined and worthy of a 10/10.
PUBG 1.0 is not that game.
EDIT: For clarity, thanks to my Steam pals the EA version is the PC game I've played most this year. So I am not trying to be dismissive, but hoping they can get it there in the future.

If time played is the main metric we used to determine a games worth, then World of Warcaft is a 10/10 and everything else if basically a 1/10, at least from my perspective. Maybe Asheron's Call would come close.
excuse me while i get my megaphone and scream 'CRITICISM OF CREATIVE MEDIA CANT BE FUCKING OBJECTIVE' from the top of the nearest tall building
I was purely talking about a 10 score system. The highest score always should be really hard to obtain otherwise it looses all meaning.
I can agree with a pure objective review based on facts might not be ideal. As it was my mistake can I propose a mix of subjective and objective? For a lot of games I care about how it runs, how it looks and general fact based data as I would not trust most reviewers to match my taste in what I consider fun in a game.
In the end I probably simply want higher standards if you publish a review for an outlet and get payed for it. If I personally think a game is a 10/10 that is totally fine and should be respected. But I look at these outlets for objective views that are harsh and honest about the game and the state it was delivered in. Not mentioning technical shortcomings or other flaws does not make you look professional in my eyes.
PUBG is a fun game in a lot of ways, weather alone or with friends, just does not meet my standard of a perfect score.
Maybe I am to hardheaded though, I don't know. =/
I just want more, a striving for excellence, for perfection... . You code and polish your game until you are close to perfection, you have taken everything into account, ironed out every fault you could find and then release excellence. I know it sounds idealistic and not workable with the profit oriented game developing. Just at least a tiny bit... . =/
As myself, I think the user you quoted probably would not rate all those 10/10 games a 10 either. I would imagine they are consistent on this issue.
Why? If there was only one correct view I don't know why we'd need so many reviews. Just have the ReviewBot 5000 play the game and give us the objective score. No need to wait for the Metacritic consensus or for my favorite site/reviewer to give me their take.
I don't believe I suggested that.
Quit trolling this thread, ffs.
10/10 perfect game, they can't come up with a single thing that could be improved about it.
Ok.
EDIT: I have no problems with a review score from any site, it's just an opinion. As an owner of PUBG I can easily find obvious things that can be improved about the game, so awarding a perfect score seems a little odd.

Not reviews, but I was waiting for it to leave early access, yeah.
10/10 has never meant perfect. WTF?
Does a 5-star movie review mean a film is "perfect?" No? Then why the stupid ass double standard for video games?
25+ million sales on 1 map and mode. More game devs should focus on making their games fun.
User has been banned for a day for console warring and thread derailment in spite of moderator warnings.
Not trolling anything. So maybe lay off it.
"Battlegrounds still carries flaws from its earliest days" is one of the highlighted quotes on the review page. Nobody, including polygon, is arguing that PUBG isnt flawed. What they're arguing is that despite these flaws, it's still wildly and uniquely entertaining and thus deserving of a 10/10.
You can point to flaws that hamstring the experience for you, and explain why these should bring the score down. "[game] has it's flaws, and therefore isn't a 10" can be said about any game, including the ones you personally would give a 10.
well what is then? Shouldn't there be a marker? I always thought 10/10 was. Maybe a game should be awarded a 10/10+ now? Surely there has to be a limit or a marker? A game with quite a lot of faults that gets a 10/10 from a so called professional just throws the whole critic score into irrelevance. I'm glad in my job I have a true marker of what perfection is as I'd go out of business pretty fast with such a leeway.
10/10 doesn't mean what you think it means.
There are no limit or markers, games are not objectively reviewed and neither should they. There are no perfect games in existence.
