NFT: XBox: PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds

Anybody try this out for X-Box? I bought it yesterday and played for a few hours. It's a bit glitchy and the graphics aren't great, but I really enjoyed the game play. I played both squad and solo, and found each of them to be fun. (Although friends have told me they enjoy solo less.) Thoughts?

for about a hour last night At first I hated it because the controls seemed strange for a shooter and no way to look at the controls during the game setup to figure out what to do. but by my 3rd game I kind of figured it out and was able to start stalking and having fun. engagements up close and in building just sucks as its glitches when the shooting starts but out in the open its not too bad.

I still think Fortnight plays way better but I like the tone of this game and if they can improve it and smooth it out it could be a great game.
Will be getting this soon. If you like games like this

you should also download Fortnite, which is a straight up copy, but is a little more tame. I play it with my kids. It's also free!
Fortnite is not a copy of PUBG

It was in development since 2014, and if anything, is a copy of H1Z1, and to call it a copy is not accurate. It is Epic games version of a BR. Both are awesome. PUBG runs like shit on console. Fortnite runs much better.
PUBG runs

pretty good on my Scorprio. I heard it struggles on base Xbox. Its my understanding the game doesnt run well on higher end PCs either. Just not a very well optimized game. Still fun though
If you don’t have a PC don’t bother with PUBG

Game is still in Alpha-ish testing. Which is pretty amazong considering over 10 million people are playing it now.

Which is true I have a base Xbox and it did struggle. I don't know anything about games but I don't understand why this game struggles but games like battlefield 1 and Call of duty run like a champ its not like PUBG has incredible graphics or gameplay.

Why PUBG struggles? Because it is a poorly optimized game at its core. It struggles on most PCs too so this isn't a surprise. Keep in mind PUBG was originally designed as a mod for a PC game so don't expect a AAA experience from a "top tier" dev/ publisher like Ubisoft, EA or Bethesda.
The game is in Early Access. It’s basically end of Alpha/Early Beta

The game is not finished. No where close.
