I really like this game, but it triggers my tinnitus if I play for more than hour.

Use a volume equalizer or a similar tool. After the first time I played it I noticed that the volume levels were fucked for muhrealism, so I set it up and there's a cap on how noisy things can be. Footsteps are still very audible, but nearby gunshots are capped.

I know how you feel. I use this program https://www.3appes.com/sound-lock/

It helps by allowing you to adjust the maximum peak volume level so shots/explosions aren't super loud but you can still hear sounds that are close to you.

I suck at teams with this, haven't had a chicken dinner yet. Closest I've come was 2nd in a group of three with some Korean randoms. It plays very differently.
Still do OK in solos, although I've been seeing a lot of teaming.

Nah, they are lying their ass off.
They just want bigger piece of pie, more control and censorship.
Big games in China usaly go through local game publisher, which achieves all of the above.
PUBG ain't getting banned, maybe they change publisher.

Fucking Valve, printing money again and getting foot in China. It is speculated they get 30% of all PUBG copies sold and same from items(though that is very small part of revenue for now).

This is big story that people don't seem to get.



The thing is nobody trust Chinese numbers and for a reason.
So, PUBG being sold in China through Steam is finally giving some clues about their playerbase.

And I'm gonna introduce you to another site, since you like charts Madmick.
There is no way there are 2M peak Worlds viewers outside(W/O) China, but there is 104M peak viewers in China.

Who's lying?

The Chinese Communist Party? Because that's who made the declaration: China's Audio-Video and Digital Publishing Association. Oh yeah, as of right this moment...

This worked, bro. Now I can actually put some hours into this game and try to get good.

Glad to hear it. I use it all the time. It makes the game a lot more enjoyable.

1.) Killing isn't the point of the game. Surviving is.
2.) Being good at killing helps you survive.
3.) Being good at not killing helps you survive. Just because you can kill someone isn't a reason to do so. Shooting someone gives away your position and makes you more vulnerable to everyone else nearby.
4.) Be aware of your surroundings and plan your next step, with a Plan B in mind. You want to be able to escape from danger and/or fight back from an advantageous position, and you want to be able to get to the next point in the best position possible.

I play the complete opposite to this. Admittedly I only ever play squads so it's a little different than solo but I play it like team death match, land at school 9/10 get as many kills as possible then start hunting. Laying prone in a bush for 20 minutes is not my idea of fun.

I've literally never done that, lol. To be clear, I do kill other players, and don't camp much. I just avoid fair fights, and was advising not to reflexively shoot at everyone you see. Most of my time camping is when I see a player in a cluster and set up an ambush for when they leave (ideally next to their vehicle).

I love bushwhacking people! It's a RUSH!

They've got their mobile knock-off with "Core Socialist Values".

You’ve logged onto your favorite game, and you’re ready to shoot and kill your enemies. Before being parachuted into the battleground, you see a banner hanging over your head that reads: “Never forget why you started, and you can accomplish your mission.”

It’s Chinese leader Xi Jinping’s newest catchphrase, taken from his work report presented at a recently concluded Communist Party congress.

Survival-shooter game PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) is the hottest videogame of the year, selling over 13 million copies globally, and Chinese companies are racing against one another to create their own copycats of it. Chief among them is a mobile version titled Wildness Action, which recently took the top spot in China’s iOS store.

In the latest update of the game, released by gaming company NetEase this week, red banners with slogans reflecting China’s “core socialist values” are emblazoned everywhere from buildings to bridges to containers. Another slogan, “Safeguard national security, safeguard world peace,” can also be seen in the game.

It’s a vivid example of the Chinese Communist Party’s attempts to both expand and control the country’s tech sector and internet. As Xi noted in his work report, “East, west, north, or south, the Party leads everything.”

NetEase added the slogans as part of its overhaul of the game’s narrative. Previously the game was about fighting to be the last survivor on a deserted island; now, it is presented as a military drill for soldiers who’ll be recruited for China’s peacekeeping operations. That said, the key elements of the play mode remain the same, and are still uncannily similar to that of PUBG.

The changes came after China’s media watchdogs took aim at PUBG and similar survival games, saying they are unlikely to get a license to officially launch in China because they contain too much blood and gore. The violent, competitive spirit behind such games is “against our country’s core socialist values… and bad for teenagers’ physical and mental health,” according to a notice from China’s official video copyright association in October.

In response, NetEase published a notice (link in Chinese) saying that the company would comply with official instructions to modify its own survival games, ensuring that they convey core socialist values.

Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi—which also operates a PUBG-esque mobile game titled Xiaomi Gunfight—released a statement this week(link in Chinese) saying that it would work with censors to modify the game. “Our main theme is to safeguard world peace and defend the motherland,” the company said.

Xiaomi Gunfight didn’t include slogans with socialist values in the game, but also changed the story to depict a military drill. In the latest version, players who are shot in head don’t die; they simply get “eliminated” from the training.

From top to bottom: screenshots from PUBG, Wildness Action, and Xiaomi Gunfight.
NetEase and Xiaomi didn’t immediately reply to requests for comment. In response to the Chinese regulator’s October notice, Chang Han Kim, CEO of PUGB Corp, a subsidiary of PUGB’s South Korean developer, said: “We respect the decisions of all review boards, and we look forward to working with them to bring PUBG to as many fans as possible around the world.”

Chinese social-media and gaming giant Tencent is also launching its PUBG-like mobile game this month—Glorious Mission: Mission Actionhas already garnered more than 4 million pre-registrations on its official site.
