Haha that’s awesome!

Decided last night I was taking this game way too seriously. Jumped out, grabbed some guns and a car and just started running people over.

Joined a forum looking for like minded people, found a squad and we’ve been playing for a couple hours using that strategy. Actually done pretty well like that, much better than I’d have expected. I guess people don’t expect suicidal players and can’t prepare for it lolol

LOL, thats great! :lol:
I was driving thru a prarie in a shitbox tonight, when all the sudden I realized some fool was afoot running across, about 200 ft ahead of me. I was kinda tinkering & I almost didnt see him. By the time I realized it & started gassing it straight for him, I gotta hand it to him, he didnt panick, just steadied down, put the rifle up, & sent a bullet right to my fucking head!

Godamnit, he must have been prepped by some madmen running folks down! :lol:

this game needs to get on Xbox One ASAP! LOL... .for now I grabbed the new Assassins Creed.... so far I'm digging it... I was a big fan of the AC2 Trilogy but the follow ups were really hit and miss for me... this one is going good so far, they've changed up the combat system quite a bit and borrowed heavily from Witcher 3 IMO.. which isn't a bad thing... time will tell if I enjoy this or get fed up lol

Yeah I’ve heard good things about that one, have to check it out.

Grabbed the Injustice 2 beta yesterday for Steam; pretty good. Been a long time since I played a 2D fighter. Really not bad at all.

Getting to the point on PubG where I can get a solid 2-3 kills per match before dying. Getting better. I started dropping heavily populated areas just to grab kills and get more used to the combat, it’s working out pretty well. Most of the time I’ll grab a kill or two and be able to get out and grab a car and bounce. More fun to me like this; I know I’m gonna die anyway, I’d rather get it over with quick as opposed to sneaking around for half an hour and making top 3 without ever seeing anyone.

Man.... AC Origins is MASSSSSIVE... and they've done a total overhaul on the combat system.... it's taking some getting use to since I'm accustomed to the normal combat system. I bought this thinking I'd get two... maybe 3 weeks of play out of this game before PubG dropped for Xbox One... I think I'm gonna be playing this for a lot longer lol

Damn... beat it as in all the quests or just the main story? every time I zoom out of the map I realize how big the damn game is lol.... I'm taking my time though, doing all the side missions as they come etc.. need to find a way to get more money faster so I can keep upgrading the weapons I got with the deluxe package

I picked this up, amongst many other things in the black friday sales. I have died in some unexpected and hilarious ways. A++ would die again.

Nice man, about time. Post up what you think/how you do. I’d be interested to play this on console but I’ll wait for the PS4 version.

Been busy as fuck the last 3/4 weeks, found a few minutes for a couple games last night. Got 2nd and 5th, was enough for me.

Too bad we’re all different systems and time zones, it’d be fun as fuck to play with all you guys.

Absolutely. :thu:

Fun thing happened last night...
Im rolling thru a town in a truck. Someone is standing in the roadway ahead taking shots at me.. I go straight at em, he evades, I swerve at him, smack into a wall, bounce into reverse turn as he recovers his bearings...
So as the truck is reversing in a U turn fashion, I get shot dead, my TRUCK however continues its U and smashes my assailant flat! We both got a kill! :beavis:

Nice!

Was starting a game and she called me to go kill something outside...get back in and apparently it’ll just throw you out of the plane if you’re not paying attention. Get back and I’m standing in a field with like 8 other guys, nobody moving...killed em all, turned around and saw a dune buggy, bounced and grabbed some weapons and got 6th lol.

Yeah baby that’s how it gets done!

Congrats mang!

:D

Tbh it was the only dude I could effectively engage all round! Fog squad match with 2 of my buds. One was lost to falling behind the blue zone and the other had a suppressed rifle and good scope so they were handling anything poking through the fog at range. This was my first fog match too.

Yeah, NICE dude!
BTW, when on the test server, theres the option of seeing the Killcam! IIRC you might have to enable it in options.

Just jumped in solo; they’re randomly picking the map on the test server. Old map, fog. Bunch of people bailed, was like 60 of us.

Two kills right off the bat, got two more and took 3rd, ended up with us all crawling around in a field lol. Man I love that M4.

Gotta say the test server is fun as fuck with pretty much zero hackers.

Man, I'm not holding out hope for you marc...this game looks like shit on Xbone for real. Tons of people bitching about early access.

Started a game, took a phone call, went out to smoke and came back just in time to find out I'd drowned. God dammit.
