5 Reasons PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is So Popular (PUBG Review)

[@ChocPretzel8]

Red dead redemption 2 battle royale please be a thing.

[@ramzH95]

rockstar could make a battle royale gamemode so easily. they already have all the mechanics

[@rameses9221]

That would actually be amazing

[@sadgokkun8745]

Without a doubt

[@GekoPish]

I thinbk any FPS game that releases from now on will have a Battle Royale or king of the hill mode.

[@rivvvers]

Fuck yes, great idea. Apparently they've already put a BR game ode in gta

[@BDobbinsFTW]

sorry i butchered the numbers on the screen, should be: 1. the feels 2. maturity 3. Skillgap 4. Social 5. Primal

[@djtoxicdhg]

BDobbinsFTW I love you doll Benz keep up the great work my friend

[@wyattkorb6629]

Thanks papa

[@splooshkaboom4210]

BDobbinsFTW love Your vids man especially ones about destiny trash you play fortnite?

[@paulallen-01]

I tried this and fortnite but I can’t play this genre of game because my anxiety gets the best of me

[@lordmew5]

BDobbinsFTW im not here to tell you how to feel about your games but why do you feel the need for a game to nitty gritty to enjoy it? Cup head is a difficult game and its not nitty gritty. Even if its not a must have why do you feel so strongly about it to to say its something that brings the game up

[@omegadog194]

Your script writing and execution is amazing.

[@goodstuffbuddy5697]

When he started talking about using team tactics, all I could think about is that if I tried this with my friend group it would just be betrayal, after betrayal, after betrayal.

[@gusgee3135]

GoodStuffBuddy tjose are not your friends. Try finding a community discord. I suggest trying Arcade Mafia Discord. I found them out when BF1 started and they are just amazing people who enjoy playing without flaming or being dicks.

[@Shuki..]

i agree

[@buffsuki7683]

Gus Gee that actually sounds like a good idea I mostly play with my friends on OW cause we all have that game but I want to play BF1 with some friends and make a more lasting friendship that could carry to several different games

[@ModestPelican]

You're awesome dude haha - love it when you start recapping your in game stories

[@Randomsausage]

You still vibe with b?

[@juliuskingsley4400]

Bdobbins not taking 9 month breaks between videos? If god isn't real then explain this

[@Blackpapalink]

Adpocalypse straining his videos?

[@CovfefeDotard]

God isnt real

[@process6996]

Marvin Marceant Your mom isn't real.

[@kenshinhimura9387]

yeah he is.

[@willieodea4941]

You fucking jinxed it

[@m1garand164]

This is still the best explanation on youtube of why Pubg was so special. I have some of my fondest memories of when this game first came out. It really was truly exciting and it made you feel bonded with your friends like no other. Sad to see Dobbins kind of fell off.

[@micm2986]

Phenomenal content, maybe that's why I keep coming back to watch your stuff, man. I realize now that I take pride in the fact that I am more informed about gaming because of you. Thank you for opening my fucking eyes man, real shit...

[@kevincraig6794]

Best video game commentary ever. Well paced, to the point, relevant, good job dude.

[@mohamedalserkal3021]

Time to put everything in my life on hold again cuz BDobbins uploaded anew video “ Priorities”

[@polystrate1]

I forgot who he was. "when did I subscribe"?

[@MichiganerE]

You've made the right decision

[@Silverheest]

I'm happy I randomly stumbled upon your channel, you're entertaining yet have intelligent arguments and reason when you talk about stuff, definitely subbed!

[@GraphicJ]

Exactly this. Well said.

[@Old_Man_Medina_Gaming]

Yo looks fun, good com

[@-Batemen]

[@Ares_gaming_117]

oah

[@Ch0pper]

This game has had me addicted, no other game has been able to do that in a very long time

[@zacrast16]

I think this game is pretty great. But it’s undeniably overrated.

[@Hexxun]

I don't think it's overrated. Everyone who plays it knows it's a buggy laggy mess a lot of the time. But it is so much better than any other BR game and there is a huge demand for BR gaming experiences just now.

[@heinschroder5736]

Hexxun fortnite is a lot better than pubg

[@Wafflexorg]

Hein Schroder and on console

[@Sandity]

Dallin Smith Fuck console.

[@icookpets2102]

The Sandity K

[@dongwopo7165]

But is it better than Minecraft hunger games I didn't think so

[@RJtheMightyStang]

Don Gabriel never

[@Sandity]

Minecraft hunger games played off the hunger games success and hooker in those that wanted a hunger games style video game that they couldn't receive elsewhere.

[@KZArchive94]

Minecraft combat is for little kids, it's pathetic...

[@SWAGSLASTHOPE]

Lol these guys don't get it's a joke

[@Yeeter000]

Keep up the good work And please make a video about star wars battlefront 2

[@soundcloudsash]

yo this review is so legit, you have some insanely in depth analysis and you show a perspective that isn't shown by many reviewers. I love how you add in crude language to make it more dramatic. This definitely makes me hyped to buy this game. Thank you FUCKING legend @BdobbinsFTW

[@solarwind3656]

You talk about how mature this game feels, yet I don't get that at all. Hell, the font of the title looks like something some 13 year old made up on 9gag. Guns look plasticky, models are dipped in Vaseline (UE4 syndrome), Lighting is too bright, dirt is too orange, grass is too brown, and overall it just looks like GTA V.

[@DementedJedi91]

I love the logical aspect you put into your videos and how far in depth you go grabbed and held my full attention as soon as you started speaking keep up the awesome videos

[@Guy_Gumbert]

You think you can give your opinions on the Star Wars Battlefront 2 Ea beta?

[@RingoFreakingStarr]

It's a prettier version of the first game. It will become meh after the first month. There you go.

[@Saytinhimself]

Accurate ^

[@wantshum7560]

RingoFreakingStarr So true

[@boyishdude1234]

RingoFreakingStarr its not a prettier version of the first game, there are far too many mechanical differences for that to be the case.

[@J37-q4s]

I can already imagine playing this with my friends "Friendly Fire" "Friendly Fire" "Friendly Fire"

[@SmogFTW]

I love you bdobbinsftw, you inspire me to play games!

[@constipatedtobey3997]

This might be the first review that has given me an adrenaline rush. I don't usually sub, but damn you're good. Waiting for PubG on the Xbox. Subbed, thank you.

[@diamondfinder6930]

Sees video posted gets out lotion

[@imalsoTOMATO]

4:38 I was watching fullscreen and I shit myself cause I thought someone was hacking my computer.

[@kinglos7840]

Yo boobins you should try CupHead. It's amazing and it has a very high skill gap

[@MelindaTseFilms]

Love the chess analogy! Such a solid review, really enjoyed this video. Thanks for sharing =D

[@lucastefani9958]

Can you make a vid on rainbow 6 siege

[@Pharysz]

Actually the best PUBG Video on YT. Well done!

[@Jay99420]

Why are almost all of the points #2?

[@faxs1o150]

PLPantherPL I thought I was trippin 😂😂

[@marloscatos3001]

PLPantherPL I think he's going through a stoke or something

[@Bi11ionAir]

Holy shit man. I just came from the first video of yours that I've seen and loved it (Destiny 2 Review and Destruction). Now I'm here and I see another 18min video but I give you the benefit of the doubt, and you fucking pay off big time! This is great stuff. The play between insightful analysis and induction and relative humility and humour is excellent and invigorating in the dull video game content so common in the field. I'm impressed.

[@jdawgdabeast]

before i watch the vid. It's popular because of how accessible and easy/engaging it is to watch on twitch. Also, the concept of surviving is a major selling point. The actual game and its mechanics, have very little to do with its popularity.

[@adamscheu4218]

For your health and the fact that the game needs skill and is fun

[@jdawgdabeast]

lots of games need skill. Fun? Ya, shooting people is always fun. I stand by my two points.

[@theblackwells3240]

Damn. That was an awesome breakdown. Mad props dude and I like that little shoutout to overwatch in the maturity part ;)

[@razorblazor571]

7 reasons for why its so great: 1. unoptimized 2. looks old as hell 3. simple game for simple people 4. rewards camping more than any other game 5. 2 maps. 2 whole maps. worth every penny. So much content. 6. nobody cares if your died as nr 100 or nr.1 ...nobody cares. 7. see people even when they don't see you. magic skillz.

[@slavicemperor8279]

Agreed

[@unteroffitzierschultz4288]

You pretty much nailed it, the game has no variety accept for a few maps and different clothing. Even though I'm not a fan, at least fortnight has a bit more variety as far as game-play is concerned (Vertical game-play with buildings and what not). The game is as follows: Gather equipment run around for 30 minutes die X1000.

[@bryanjohnson4819]

Loving the frequent uploads. Keep up the good work!

[@Vinseenit]

Do people forget hunger games from minecraft, it came way before king of the kill and people loved the thrill of that game

[@awesome9174]

thebest123124 The dayz battlegrounds MOD came before that.

[@jetx2599]

There was also a survival game mode in Halo 3 custom games. This isn't a new idea. Just that someone made an entire game on the premise

[@inFmsGamingHD]

As always solid video from you BDoddins, love you bro, keep up the good shit. Listening to you rant on and educate the fools like us gets me hard and ready for the day.

[@PhoenixV30]

I think if they add AI controlled zombies that attack anyone they see or hear it would hugely decrease the down time and make things more intense. You would have to consider the zombies as a threat as well as other players. This could be a cool new mode.

[@adamscheu4218]

NSTAM 27 I think this is a good idea but I feel they would need to add a bit more ammo then

[@chadthundercock4982]

So DayZ?

[@PhoenixV30]

Voxle abit like DayZ but the goal of the game would still be being the last man standing by outliving/killing other players while avoiding or killing the zombies.

[@PhoenixV30]

Adam Scheu maybe the melee weapons can be effective against the zombies while shooting them would only be necessary if there is alot of them.

[@f4ptr989]

so dayz?

[@Hokiebird428]

How to count to 5: 1, 2, 3, 2, 2. Doesn't detract from the video though. Great job as always Batman.

[@hollow6178]

When I got to the top ten I had a stroke when I won I died

[@juliuskingsley4400]

Bro, same

[@Dame.1k]

Damn

[@MatafiedGaming]

Loved your metaphor at the end. Really made me finally want to play this game. Great review bro!

[@paulallen-01]

Destiny 2 is a perfect example of a game becoming too easy therefore making it totally mind numbing and boring

[@x3wildcard]

The last 3 minutes of this are so insightful. Top quality content.

[@ghostbladevanguard514]

Shame this game is still in bug/lag city nd unpolished

[@ghostbladevanguard514]

Wow watched the vid did they improve the game more ?

[@TheOfficialWritersBlock]

Its in alpha dumbass 😂😂

[@TheDefaultClass]

Never played PUBG but alot of this applies to Apex Legends as well. I find it super interesting how important good social skills are in battle royale, great analysis as always this is one of my favorites to come back to

[@arrowversal_]

360p quality much?

[@WhoIsSpaceMan]

its hd

[@scottstv]

It's your internet you afgan fuck

[@arrowversal_]

scottstv my internet is fine, first thing I got the notification 360p was the highest quality.

[@tylerberks2756]

Arrow I got 1080p 60fps

[@Celmi90]

You are the real MVP BDob! Love this channel.

[@KnKsk8]

PUBG is garbage in my opinion, I prefer H1Z1 and Fortnite.

[@iBRANCHPro]

This was a very down to earth video. Thank you.

[@splooshkaboom4210]

Fortnite better same concept smoother and you can create forts

[@SunnyII3ridges]

at least say why

[@splooshkaboom4210]

General K1MB0 fine I will lol

[@robo5obionicgamer]

General K1MB0 cuz it is better than pubg there you go

[@HexCypherr]

Its a faster less realistic version

[@splooshkaboom4210]

The ability to shape the battfield by building changes the gameplay enormously everything is destroyable

[@jonathangonzalez3793]

Very well worded. Good job bud. Been subscribed for sometime and this is why I stay subscribed.

[@CorruptbyDesign]

wanna know why this game sold millions. cause cod kids found a better game to camp in... oh wait i mean “being tactical” that’s what their calling it right?

[@MrDavo511]

A I M B O T _ S Y N T H sounds like someone doesn't know how to use nades

[@CorruptbyDesign]

sounds like someone hasn't clicked on any of my videos...

[@danielmardak]

This is the best advertisement for a video game that I have ever seen. Big props. “PUBG is humans chasing the ball”

[@typhoonzebra]

Ohhhh, 360p

[@johngddr5288]

its all about those bit-rates

[@anarch0capitalist]

Your communication skills are fucking amazing! I just smashed that subscription button.

[@asdfasdf6606]

pubg is yawn running looting sim. fortnite is faster paced and fun as fuck

[@robo5obionicgamer]

Slam Berry agreed

[@daedric5647]

it's not fast pace, you have to run everywhere no vehicles

[@asdfasdf6606]

The map size is half that of pubg (feels like it anyway). vehicles are not needed. Pubg map is way to big for 100 people imo and that is part of the reason its so slow even with vehicles you have to wait forever for the circle. fortnite keeps it moving

[@CleverMetaphor]

ok i did not think i was gonna end up watching the whole video when i saw how long it was.... but holy fuck man you nailed it. awesome video seriously. i'm really just sitting here like "how the hell did he do this?" it's perfect. i saw your destiny 2 vids recently and i was thinking "yeah these are good, and i completely agree, but i'm not gonna subscribe based off some destiny 2 hate" but you got me with this one dude. GREAT JOB!

[@DanDoesGame]

I like both games dont get me werong...... but PUBG is much campier than H1Z1 eso I play H1 more than I do PUBG, if im alone and cant find a friend to play with atleast, If I cant find a teammate to talk with when PUBG gets slow then its fun, but i cant play it alone

[@KZArchive94]

SuperDan -- PUBG is almost completely based on luck. That's why I hate it. You can have the best gear and then get sniped by someone you can't even see. Fuck that.

[@lutfihakim3292]

Stop ur complain right there then look at shroud playing pubg... no lucks no camp only skills

[@KZArchive94]

Shroud is a neckbeard no life of course he's gonna be good at the game. It's a no-brainer. Most people camp and use shitty tactics to win

[@connorcoates1666]

Rubik except it’s the opposite. It is entirely based on skill. If you get sniped in the open it’s your own fault... for being in the open. You have to play extremely carefully so that you can come out on top. PUBG is extremely strategic, to the point where you have to take into consideration every little thing that you do. If you die, there is always a reason. It’s never just luck.

[@boyishdude1234]

connor coates aim and recoil control aren't skills. You can have the best aim and recoil control on the planet and still be an extremely bad player. Also, camping isn't really a skill either. Anyone can camp in a shooter dude. But if one can position well to their weapons strengths (which isn't the same as camping), that is skill.

[@kentrelhayes5982]

Top 5 favorite youtubers right here man amazing video keep it up

[@ckleb7358]

Why does rainbow 6 siege succeed?

[@MrEllipsis423]

Hey man you absolutely killed this video! Perfect description of the game and now I have to get a Xbox one

[@CptCoward]

I don't get the phenomenon of this game

[@Oddwolf22]

CptCoward you played it?

[@CptCoward]

I have like 15 hours in it or something (I only play this game with my friend cause he loves it). You run around for 20 mins looking for loot, and than die, because you were unlucky to get spotted first. That's what most of my games look like.

[@thousandslayersimca4034]

+CptCoward Luck should only be 5% of the equation. Its appeal is more for those who love Survival games, only here the objective/threat are the other players. Its all about strategy and the mental aspects that are at work.

[@thel8815]

I don't get why everyone is playing this and for instance Planetside 2 is decreasing. Yes Planetside 2 is from 2012 but there is no similar feeling of attacking a base with 2 platoons of people with infantry tanks and aircraft and have an even fight and outplay the enemy. I don't get this where everyone is playing these battle royales

[@Oddwolf22]

Thel _ that doesn’t happen for the average planetside player

[@ghostzombie6397]

Love how you go in depth.

[@kevinatenine9797]

Not for me.

[@HueghMungus]

You should upload more videos Batman! Each time you upload I get so exited! :D

[@DatBoiSaint]

At 24, Personally I don't mind the cartoony graphics instead of mature gore. If that was the case I would have spent my time on Quake or Lawbreakers (lol) instead of overwatch, Gameplay over graphics. Also Fortnite over PUBG.

[@adamscheu4218]

I like both fortnite and pubg, it kind of changes with my mood I find fortnite much more fast paced which I like also it's on Xbox so I can play with my friends (only 1 of my friends plays on pc so it gets kind of boring for me) also building huge bases is really fun I just wish they had custom games like pubg

[@tylerhill40]

You like too much kiddie stuff

[@Sandity]

tylerhill40 Fortnite isn't kiddie. You ignorant fuck.

[@KappaJones]

tylerhill40 I highly doubt that shooting someone in their face and stealing all of their items is "kiddie stuff".

[@lexio9913]

hands down, The best youtube channel out there

[@TheFeadme]

fortnite is better

[@TheFeadme]

mash ups can make anything look sick that's not representing the actual game play of camping in a building for 20 minutes if you think it is you have obviously never played it

[@MasterJunior93]

Of all the souls i've encountered over the years on KZbin. Yours is the most... human. Salute!! ^_^7

[@atopmadness9389]

This game is popular for no reason. It's like Snapchat or Instagram.

[@PiOfficial]

Atop Madness if you actually thinks there's no reason for the popularity of all three of them then you're very ignorant.

[@RJtheMightyStang]

Atop Madness they are all popular for a reason

[@grthorn3461]

Pi Meh. I wish I could get into this game but it's entirely too boring compared to other shooters. I usually play games when I want to stay awake for the night so I started playing this at around 4 AM. Stayed asleep on my mousepad in a house after 50~ people died with me not finding anyone anywhere. I've tried to play very agro, sometimes making it into top 5 but even then I feel like killing 4-6 people over 20 minutes doesn't really get me going. It's like a normal gunfight of 1v1 in Overwatch but if you had game queues of 10 minutes every time.

[@adamscheu4218]

This game is popular because it's very fun with lots of skill needed

[@thenarwalarchives6548]

Plz watch the vid before you comment based on the title.

[@GravelsNotAFood]

I think it's time we let Batman take a crack at Net Neutrality. We need his light in this hour of darkness.

[@TheSparkyBoy24]

The game doesn't deserve the hype, its a buggy pile of dogshit atm

[@CyberJedi1]

I fuking love your channel and videos man, thanks for doing it and being so bluntly honest on your opinions.

[@pwj86772]

this game is so fucking overhyped...it's really not that good.

[@antorico2gaming774]

Napzie lmao u destroyed his ass

[@daedric5647]

How's your destiny 2 endgame?

[@perezye7297]

Napzie I fucking love you XD

[@marloscatos3001]

CloseProximity A majority of people like it and still play it. As much as I like the game to me it's still a mystery to how this game has gotten so popular and is still holding that popularity. All I can say is that I'd wish some other games could gain as much popularity as this game has.

[@Forum4life07]

lol i bet your favorite game is destiny

[@zacluchette8300]

I found this channel at the perfect time in my life. All your videos are so insightful and great. Thank you sir, keep it up

[@garvitdhingra8062]

Better than Porn

[@doomguyftw1408]

Banana Man idk

[@Hellnah69420]

I love these video essay style videos

[@ButerandToast]

holy shit this was a really good video, top notch BDobbins

[@420JustLegalizeIt]

Finally, a well-informed analysis that doesn’t sound pretentious or so strict from the script. BTW I bought this game because of this video, and got 1st place on my 2nd game. So thanks and thanks! Ya earned a sub!

[@Marcopolo945]

I think that was the best conclusion to a rant I have ever heard

[@void2400]

I fucking love everything about how you speak, describe things, and come up with absurd analogies.

[@epicragegaming2016]

i love being bad at high skill gap games, cuz when i get better its soooo rewarding. a few things to really fix br games. smaller maps, very few but guaranteed loot spots, example, you need a crowbar to break a lock to get into a building with a guaranteed sniper spawn creates action, rewards risk. things like that. get rid of the red zone, causes random deaths, people feel cheated. easier to obtain points to buy crates, just change the percentages, people love to gamble and being able to open more crates will increase playtime. just make it more rare to get good items. faster descending loot crates. things id like to see attempted. night maps with flash light and laser attachments for guns. claymores from crates. riot shield from crate. i think those are a bunch of fun ideas that should be put into the test servers to gather feed back.

[@goodfeller2]

Your commentaries really are fucking brilliant. I love thinking about perspectives I have never thought about.

[@pvtmarcos]

Dude your videos always have so much intelligence. It's inspiring.

[@PostNtoast]

I fucking love listening to your videos on long drives. It's so relaxing. :)

[@coreyouterbridge7628]

Did you get to play Battlefront 2 beta Bdobbins? I can't wait for your review on it when it comes out,if you do one of course.

[@simplymoney3735]

The most awesome explanation of pubg period!! Great vid

[@MMA_INF]

I've been playing dark souls since it came out. I have over 1500 hours on dark souls 1, and hundreds on ds2 and DS3. But now I literally feel no adrenaline rush at all. Even when playing games like this.

[@sussydababy9548]

BDobbins this is the kind of stuff that got me to subscribe.

[@brownsmrmn]

Dude, epic. I've been watching this game on twitch waiting for it to come out on Xbox. I'm gonna. Share this video

[@Kershmey]

Reminds me of what I loved about Rust. Everything mattered so much in that game. Die before you have a base set up, lose everything. Get shot on your way out the door before you can lock it behind you, lose everything. Someone raids your base, lose everything. It made just going out into the world to forage resources an intense prospect, and made the in-game social interactions an absolute treasure-trove. Sure, there were the typical trolls who'll do nothing but talk shit, but just listen to their tune change when they're cowering in their bases in terror as you pick-axe or dynamite their walls down. People legit beg for their lives, legit plead for charity, legit betray each-other to the core. Finding people you can at least half-trust not to kill you and raid your base was like finding a diamond in the rough, and building little communities of these mostly-trustworthy people was incredible fun. If you have the heart and the balls, you can give these folks your full trust and share in eachothers bases/loot, an incredibly risky proposition that none the less leads to fast, firm friendships when it goes well. LOVED the game, but there was just A.) way too many hackers and B.) way too much time/devotion required for me to keep playing it and keep my job.

[@Daniel-xp4yg]

Lol I’ve been here since 20k great to see u grow like thsi

[@josewithanaccent]

I dont play this game but it gave me Socom flashbacks. The rush was real because it was social and mature (many players were active military). Im definitely going to grab this game tomorrow.

[@TheRogueMonk]

my issue with these kinds of games is that you cant really respawn you get to go all the way into the lobby again.. that is pain.. .

[@tas466]

so here it is . Kylo Reb cuts snoke in half when he summons the light saber in the throne room. Luke dies at the end of the film he uses force projection the whole time in the film while fighting kylo. Then dies on the island in the end. Kylo is the supreme leader.

[@markus-markason7415]

This is just the start of the battle royale genre. 5 years later, there will probably be over 50 battle royale games.

[@richardoates8280]

I love your content man, please make a full length review about rainbow six siege, your insight would be great

[@TENNOM]

my biggest complaint is the 3rd person peeking around corners and waiting for teammates after dying those two problems are enough for me to not get it

[@Ryan-sb2os]

Mitch Monnet there is a First Person mode only

[@AdamNoizer]

*Thoughts on what the next ghost recon game can learn from wildlands?* Random video idea.
