Battle Royal very similar to PUBG. Biggest difference is the ability to build structures. I think it fun to squad up with friends and play that way although solo 1v49 is action packed too.

I've been playing a lot of PUBG. I'm surprised I like it so much even though I suck really bad at it.

I suck so much ass at shooting in this game. Quick game times make it fun to jump into a few matches here and there.

I enjoy Fortnite a lot, but I suck too. Haven't ventured into a squad royal yet as I am sure I will be bitched at for not having coms or just flat out suck. I am getting better at building, especially when I am being fired at. But not this end game crap that they build these elaborate stuff to separate themselves from enemies.

I follow a very good PUBG player (and hilarious player) in stonemountain64 who primarily plays PUBG, but he has videos that offer good advice. But he also plays fortnite. Fun videos when you are bored.

PUBG is too slow for me. I suspect fortnite is too.

I bought the actual game last summer which is super fun. Have not played Battle Royale yet. At this point I'm afraid I'll get destroyed.

It looks like Paragon was shut down to focus on Fortnite.

I hadn't planned on getting into this or PUBG but between the two this might be the start of something pretty big in gaming.

I played some Fortnite last night. I don't like the building thing.

My Daughter suggested that I give it a try. She knows I used to play Halo back in the day, so she thought I would like it. Thought I was going to like it at first, but I don't like the building stuff. Like when you engage someone in a firefight, only to watch them throw up a brick wall to stop your bullets from hitting them. Then they build a massive structure that stretches up to the heavens in a matter of only seconds so they can get away, hide, and shoot at you from high on their perch. lol, wtf kind of looney tunes bullshit is that?! Do I need to fashion some sort of Wile E Coyote slingshot to get my ass up there to kill him now?

Made it to the final 5 several times. At that point, it always turns into a game of whoever can build the fastest that determines the winner. Get rid of the building and improve the aiming/accuracy of some of the weapons, and it would be a great game. Guess I'll have to give PUBG a try. From what I can tell there's no looney tunes shenanigans to deal with there.

all of this... and drop you with a pistol. something that I can kill somebody with from a distance of more than 2 feet in the early game.

Knock down the lowest floor structure and watch him fall to his death.

I prefer PUBG as the building stuff seems a little gratuitous to me.

I suck but am getting a bit better. Hard to play this game when you are a NUM PAD guy and not a WASD guy. Getting my keybinds sorted very slowly...

Won my first solo/squad (that's little old me on a team by myself against teams of 4) the other day.

Stay out of the populated areas and loot your ass off.

Get to final stage and you'll have no more than 4 ppl to dispatch, sometimes you'll get lucky and have one or two left to fight.

Take some exploding weapons and have fun.
