I've recently been encountering it more as well. The aimbots are real. People aren't even being coy about it. I've even ran into people who are obviously using lag to an advantage. Why people outside of the US servers are able to connect to a US server, without having a US party leader, is beyond me.

Time for Misinfo Wars: After selling so many copies of the game, Blue Hole is selling the cheats back to the PUBG community to double dip on its player base.

I think that the game play, server issues, and general instability of the game are starting to rear their heads. I've been playing this game the past few months and had enjoyed it, but recently all of the problems I'm encountering are starting to pile up and make me regret my purchase.

While earlier in its life I'd forgive some of it since it's "early access," the game can't use that argument anymore since they've begun charging for item boxes. Bluehole is adding more stuff into the game, and charging for it, while each patch added continues to show just how unstable and mechanically broken the total package really is.

That's because PU is wrong. Plain and simple. I don't need some big brother looking out for me. No one needs that. In most cases, you can handle people like the team killer yourself: put him down and keep going if the party is still alive. Report him, sure. There's a kill feed that can back you up on your decision. Otherwise PU is knowingly punishing people for defending themselves, even when they have proof.

It's an incredibly European thought process.

Edit: A few games ago I opened up on a teammate when we opened a door. I didn't expect him to be there and didn't notice see his name tag appear above his head. If I blasted him at point blank range with a shotgun and dropped him, should I be banned for that? For an accident in an active hostile zone? According to PU rules and how he's banning people, he would.

@hunkulese:

PU has also banned at least one person who killed a team mate in self defense during a squad game. A random teammate killed two of the four people. The "victim," as you put it in a previous post, defended himself by killing the team killer. The defender received a ban for his actions for team killing.

The way the game is being handled is proving that there is too much of a stranglehold over how the community is expected to act.

I absolutely love how fucked up your style is.

You know what? You got me. I really thought you were asking a serious question. There always seems to be "that guy" at each event that asks the same question. Well done, good fellow, well done.

I'm not angry at you, Giant Bomb. I'm just disappointed. This was your chance to set the record straight by crowning the best Legend of Zelda game to have ever been released, but I see that you're either in denial or being led astray by Mr. Jeff Gerstmann's outlandish and slanderous representation of the greatest entry into the Legend of Zelda franchise.

Majora's Mask is the best Legend of Zelda game that will exist. It has everything you could ever want in a game: a hero, a villain, and a world of ambiguity that shapes the tone and story being told while covering up the real question it presents you throughout the journey. This isn't just THE Legend of Zelda game. It is one of the best games to ever been made in the history of video games.

Oh, and fuck Twilight Princess. That thing's little more than shiny turd compressed into a disc, despite the good ideas in it.

What's there to debate? It's Dark Souls.

@sanious:

Lol. They weren't not showing him because they didn't want you to see what he looked like. Of course people know what Godzilla looks like, but what is the point of just showing him for the sake of showing him? Building up tension and some sort of suspense is to me what makes movies good. Whether you felt that was done good in this movie is one thing, but clearly the director wasn't going for Godzilla throwing monsters around destroying cities for 2 hours because that would be boring.

The point of showing him just to show him? That shouldn't ever be the case. The point of showing him is to establish a character. They talk about him being an apex hunter yet we never see him doing any apex hunting. The screen cuts to Boring-ass McBoring and the rest of the McBoring family accompanied by Captain Boring and the United States Armed Boring. There are lines that talk up Godzilla, but that's all it is: talk. They never do what a visual medium is the best at doing: showing. Show me Godzilla being a bad ass. It doesn't have to be a long fight, just enough for establish the character's dominance in the scene and creating that suspense for when it's go time for real. After all, they show the monster in Hawaii when he does his signature roar. You see him detailed and centered. There he is. But right before any action takes place we need to check in with the humans for some reason. It totally kills the mood that they established. Everything from watching the legs of this gargantuan lizard stomp up the island to the confrontation between him and the MUTO are signaling to the audience, "It's go time." But no. We get blue balled. No watching the initial fight between the two. No watching Godzilla try and shake off the joints. No anything. Because we have some people that are completely irrelevant to the story to check back with.

Seriously. What would've happened without stock military guy being there? Nothing. Nothing would've changed.

As for your last sentence: since when is a good action scene boring? I don't remember hearing anyone being bored with any of the fights in Pacific Rim, or the Avengers, or any other movie that had a good series of action scenes.

It would have been less of a wow factor when it came to the full fight at the end, you wouldn't be as enthralled seeing the monsters fight, causing the devastation and how good the special effects were

I wasn't enthralled with the fight anyways. There was no fight. It was a bunch of black blobs doing something, then Godzilla getting the shit kicked out of him (par for the course), then getting up to be OP. Granted those three moves were fun to watch, but they came one right after the other without much else going on. The lead up was terrible. There was no comeback, no round two, no sense how much danger Godzilla is in when he's being pummeled or how powerful he is when in a one-on-one engagement. It's like playing the game segment in a trailer (which would be seconds long), then being thrown into a boss fight. There's no build up, there's nothing to hang expectations on and because of this the suspense isn't there. It's just a drawn out snore fest.

I would have to say my biggest pet peeve of complaints comes with Bryan Cranston. I think the guy is awesome too but him not being in it enough is a very weak complaint considering I am not going into a Godzilla movie to see specific actors.

How about wanting to see interesting characters solve problems and engage in the story in a meaningful way? The actor is just there to give the performance. It can be filled by anyone capable of displaying an emotion. So, again, I think you missed the point on why I mentioned certain actors (I forgot their character names).

Wow this movie sucked.

There was MAYBE ten minutes of Godzilla, total, in a movie that's two hours long. The rest of the time is filled with boring-ass white people doing a bunch of boring-ass white people things. The only two interesting people, the characters played by Bryan Cranston and Ken Watanabe, are almost completely absent from the film in favor of following around boring-ass stock military guy and his family that doesn't matter because something needs to be at stake other than humanity facing something it doesn't understand, can't hope to defeat through traditional means, and faces extinction because of its own hubris.

But then again, maybe I'm asking for too much.

I'd like to bring something up that's been floating around this thread. "The original..." argument doesn't hold up here due to the very nature of what Godzilla is in these two movie. In the classic, Godzilla is the villain. In this reboot, he's the hero. We also have sixty years of seeing Godzilla. He's not a mystery anymore. He know who Godzilla is, what he does and how he does it. Hiding it isn't building "suspense." It's a two hour cock tease with a lot of blue balling up until the end. And by that point, it's almost too little too late.

The ending blast was pretty fucking awesome though.
