24 bucks with Prime is interesting... but 30 bucks via direct XBL purchase and I'll be playing it like 20 hours sooner.
Anyway, I've been preparing for the Xbox version w/ friends by going ham on my neglected PC copy in solo mode. I am completely addicted now. I've put 20+ hours on it in like the last 3 days or so.
But. 4 times I have made it to a final 2 situation. I would say three of the times I was playing from the advantageous position.
0 chicken dinners.
FML.
My inventory management is getting me down. Losing attachments on gun switches. Doing bandages when I meant to do first aid. And then compounding the error by doing useless painkillers at like 30 health with a dude who properly used his heals rushes me. The only gaming feeling that's compares for me is blowing like a 2v1 double OT in R6 Siege.
Great game though. I know some chicken dinners are coming in 2s and 4s on Xbox, especially with the head start on the PC version. I don't see why anyone would switch to Xbox unless they're in my specific situation. 4 man crew ready to go on Xbox, no crew on PC, so presumably at launch there won't be more than a handful of players in a given lobby that really knows what they're doing.
edit: This game is so much better than Fortnite.
