I'm trying to remember when I first heard about PUBG. I think it was when I read this
article on Rock, Paper, Shotgun. From there I did a little more research on the game and decided to pay the $30 to see if I would like the game myself. When I first started playing the game on solo, I saw the appeal but I wasn't quite hooked yet. It wasn't until my friend also got the game and we started playing duos that I was enthralled by this game and became obsessed with looking for ways to improve. From watching the pros like shroud and TSM on Twitch, to obsessively tweaking my keybinds and mouse sensitivity settings, even playing games like CS GO and Arma 3 for the first time to train my aim, I've tried everything I could to improve my skill level in the game. Even though I've won a few chicken dinners, I'm still nowhere near as good as I want to be.
And that's really why this game is so damn addicting. I've never played a game so nerve wracking before. It's like playing a survival horror shooter game. Because the stakes are so high it's pure ecstasy when you win a fight and complete frustration when you die. After you die there's something inside that will egg you on to play one more match because you can't end a play session on a sour note. And then before you know it...several hours have gone by in a seemingly never ending pursuit to get that ever elusive chicken dinner. I wasn't expecting a game like this when I decided to spend $30 to try it earlier this year.
