How does PUBG compare to Fortnite (the free to play epic games pubg clone). I really enjoy competitive games (csgo, league, etc.) but I did not enjoy Fortnite at all.



y, I like PUBG better than Fortnite, a lot of people play both though.

PUBG feels more realistic, easier to get immersed in, Fortnite seemed too cartoonish.

PUBG is one of the best games I've played, even if it doesn't feel super polished sometimes.

Each match is unique and something interesting always happens, especially in Squads. Some involves vehicle physics, wiping another squad, making the top 10, last second revives of team mates, close calls, amazing shots, and of course winner winner chicken dinner. If you play with a group of guys, there will always be talk of "remember that one time . . . "


>realistic

Especially when it comes to cars and driving and you explode from hitting some grass!


Grass? What about the invisible bump-mines all over the landscape?

You go 60kph on a flat plane in one second and the next thing you know is that you're spinning out of control about 30 meters in the air with a sense of impeding doom as you hurdle towards the next solid object at lethal velocities.


Sounds like the typical problem you get when relying solely on the physics engine for your vehicles, instead of adding at least a few lines of mitigatory code. Sloppy, but apparently not a show stopper for PUBG.


PUBG contains a lot of sloppy things but overall I think it adds more to the charm of the game.

Plus, dying because of a bug may be frustrating but you don't loose anything really. There is no punishment for dying or not being the first other than not getting more points for cosmetics.

Usually when it happens, me/my squad just laugh/cry and move on.


y, the sloppy vehicle physics has added some great moments to Duo/Squad games.

We laugh, share the replay with other friends and add it to our "Remember that one time . . . " moments.

I'll actually miss it once it's improved.


It's funny that Fortnite is being called a PUBG clone when I remember hearing about it years before even DayZ Battle Royale was released
