I didn't knew this game at first until he told me and at first I thought the name was funny but after I start playing I was so addict to this game that even for the game update, I wait until it is release on the play store. Mid 2018 to late 2020 was the best year during those days even though I got scolded by my parents due to playing like 6-8 hrs non stop After that I still played for like 6months or so but I stop playing mobile games after that due to having my own PC and started playing PC games (specially Valorant) I only reached Ace ranked in pubg mobile during those days and those intense shouting in the game was the best memory. I played during resident evil collab, alan walker and blackpink period. And my phone at that time was 3gb ram and 32gb storage. The best part was waiting for texture to load during parachute landing and the character jumping in the places due to slow texture loading as my phone was pretty bad.

This is always true for tencent Codm back then:military shooting game Codm now:anime Pubg back then:battle royal Pubg now:random collab with unkown ass companies

[@itsarin2166]

Unlike PUBGM, CODM wasn't exactly trying to be this 'realistic military' stuff. From the beginning of the game, they already have colorful gun skins as a start, on top of this the game movement focus more on being fast rather than trying to be heavy and realistic. If you look at the earlier version such as Legend of War, the game was already heavily based on BO2 which is more of a sci-fi title with lots of high tech stuff. The game is also heavily based on BO4 and to some degree BO3 with operator skills and battle royale skills. So yeah, if you have play year 1 of CODM even before the gunsmith update, they already have insane looking and colorful gun skins and it's only about time colorful character skins came along. So GFL anime skin is still on brand for CODM. Which is unlike PUBG that suddenly did a 180 in it's theme just because.

[@sboyle71177]

This video hurts because it's absolutely true. At least in my case. I started playing right after the launch. There were no seasons. There were no skins for outfits, vehicles, or weapons. There was 1 map...OG Erangal. And I dutifully played PUBG nearly everyday for 5 years. Over 20,000 matches. Not very successfully (career 1.87 K/D with less than 10% winning percentage) but I didn't care alot about the stats. It was so much fun that I couldn't wait to get off of work or finish my daily errands so that I could put in my ear buds and fire up PUBG. Most of the early changes were awesome. Seasons gave me something to shoot for, trying to improve my rank & stats. Early skins added variety to the game without detracting from it. The additions of Miramar, Sanhok, and Vikendi(my personal fave) gave me a chance to play different maps that kept the game fresh. Everything was going great until...Livik. I know alot of players loved Livik. More intense. Better chance to increase the amount of Chicken Dinners due to matches taking half as long to complete. But it wasn't for me. I just preferred the more strategy driven style vs chaos from the start. But it was fine because I just simply could play the other maps. The player base had fallen off, but enough players were still around so that it wasn't much of an issue. Then came Nusa. For me, this was when the wheels started to come off. It made Livik seem tame. Just grab and shoot. No strategy. No planning. Just Run-n-Gun. The 15 players or so on my Friend list that still played pretty much set up residency here, while vacationing in Livik. No more Erangal. No more Miramar, etc. And the phone I played on didn't help. I'm not solely blaming my phone for a miserable experience on these maps, but it played a factor. I played on a Galaxy S9+. Which could process all of the server data anywhere near the speed that a newer phone or tablet. And I lagged nonstop because of it. So with a smaller player base, 7 maps, ranked & unranked, TDM, Arena mode, that stupid "create-a-world plus whatever crossover they had going on, it was nearly impossible to find a match unless I went solo vs squad on Erangal. Playing as a random became a torturous endeavor. Most of the time I'd be teamed up with players ranked in gold or platinum, and were usually around 12 years old with maybe 100 career matches. Most experienced players had already moved on from the game. So I found myself playing out of habit vs desire. Playing solo v squads on the same map. Over and over. The game wasn't the same. It had morphed into something that I didn't like and since I knew that wasn't going to change, I left. I last played a match on Jan 2,2024. Just over 1 year ago. At times I miss it. I miss talking to some of the cool players I met. I miss the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. But most of all, I miss the old PUBG Mobile.

[@profinneupane6883]

I left the game in 2021 when me and my friends failed to make into pmpl, but tbh had the game stayed the same (not adding skins or accessories) then the players would’ve complained about the game being the same and u would’ve probably also made a video about how the game hasn’t changed a bit for too long. At least the game is not p2w, those skins only contribute psychological damage since u automatically assume everyone with an expensive skin is a good player.

I've recently picked up PUBG mobile again after 3 years break. Yes I got overwhelmed by the amounts of stuff you can do in this game, and skins and cosmetics. (They got housing system now, WTF) But playing classic mode (non-event server) still gives me that original feeling when I played this game on launch. Sure there is new weapons, items, vehicles. But the fundamental never changed and I love that. And don't get me wrong, I also love the events. They're simply unique and fun. My favorite was resident evil collab where you have to fight and survives hordes of zombies for a whole night.

yes bro pubg is still a lot of fun. i dont think so that there is anything wrong in adding news weapons or skins or home because thats how the things works, they have to keep adding things to keep the game interesting. also if such a great game is free to play, not showing any ads, not asking for money, not pay-to-win like free fire then, just selling in game stuff to earn money so what is wrong in this. why people gave pubg hate because they are selling skins and costumes too much. atleast they are not forcing anyone, its players own choice to buy them or not it will not affect their gameplay. the other factor is obviously nostalgia. people will always love old pubg and hate current pubg because old pubg always gives them nostalgia. it does not matter that how good the futures updates and events will be, players will always hate them saying that old pubg was good because of nostalgia feel. that was just my opinion. keep playing and enjoying the game.

I've started playing pubg mobile with my brother after a few months it's been released and we've quit when it was around 13-14 season. I had a very underpowered phone at the time that could barely handle it. i had to use external programs to squeeze every bit of performance out of my phone. (if you know gfx tool then you know what im talking about) i've played with 30 fps and textures that were almost a solid color but i still had a lot of fun. Even though the overall atmousphere of the game was starting to slip away after the 7th season, we've had a lot of fun with my brother. We started playing when the game was at its peak and ended when it lost its identity and popularity. This game still holds a special place in our hearts and we hope that we can play the original pubg mobile, when the game was still fresh and everyone played it even though its never going to happen. Thank you PUBG mobile for all the memories.

[@negativeplayer4446]

Newstate died because of these issues: • Technical issues • Wynsanity • Community Upon release, Newstate Mobile (NSM) was plagued with bugs and performance issues that literally cooked phones and caused the game to frequently crash... like on the PC version. And just its desktop counterpart, Krafton *NEVER* bothered to fix these issues. This dismissive attitude reflected their choice of Ambassador, Wynsanity, who only made things much, *MUCH* worse. The guy is responsible for getting many minors addicted into gambling by promoting in-game products rather than gameplay and gameplay-related topics. You can tell he's in just for the money because if you compare him to a desktop game CC like WackyJacky (from PUBG), their content is *VASTLY* different. Wynsanity treated NSM like PUBGM, like how a dismissive and irresponsible person would. Ignore issues and promote unhealthy values towards their viewers. If you raised a topic about the game's issues, he would just said "It's not my job..." even though he's paid by Krafton and makes content for the game (coming from personal experience) and is the loudest megaphone for raising awareness about the game's state. This attitude bleeded into the community, especially in the DC, who are closest to the devs. The lack of care, attention, and fixiation of monetization is what killed NSM. And this all started with Krafton and Wynsanity, which spawned a community who reflected the two's dismissive and irresponsible values. After this, Wynsanity would then go to contribute in the downfall of another large title, *"Warzone Mobile,"* along with similar CCs. He, along with Ducky and Bobby would spread misinformation about WZM's state amidst the backlash received due to the game's unoptimized condition. These people would post a tampered video of WZM apparently running at 120fps on its highest graphics settings, which would soon be debunked for using frame interpolation and motion blur. Wynsanity would then personally attack the community, posting an image about how mobile games would look like Knives Out (a horrid looking mobile BR game) if they kept catering to low-end devices, ignoring the fact that PUBG mobile runs perfectly fine on said devices, and the far more superior Timi-version of PUBGM would also run fine on modern budget hardware. There's also CODM. He even told a person to "Go buy an iPad." as if an iPad was cheap. Guy was high up his own ass. The issue got so out of hand, that some time after release, WZM's biggest and greediest partner, apparently broke his iPad and went back to CODM due to the abysmal state of WZM. And you know what's even worse? These CCs would claim that *THEY* were the reason behind PUBGM and CODM's success, ignoring the fact that they're a generational game. They would say that if they don't get those views, it won't succeed. Guess what? PUBGM was already as success before they got their hands on it cuz it was a NEW and exciting game that was well executed. They just rode on its success. That tells a lot about these people's personalities. I don't even know what thoughts went through the devs' minds to choose destructive people like them. Maybe it's because they have a lot in comon? Greedy, Irresponsible, and is seriously lacking in skill to complete the task at hand?

underrated aspect of this scandal is that even CODM, and BGMI (india only pubgm port), are also becoming increasingly difficult to run due to the extremely large, unoptimized updates. For t3 scrims, even a mid-range mobile phone, (eg: snapdragon 865, 7 gen 1) would've been enough before the games started receving these updates

for me sanhok is intermediate, not too slow not too fast. For erangel being less 'fight scene', sanhok got that covered. Then come Livik with 2x2. In my country Livik was really overwhelm by unskilled and new players. Me myself played Livik more than other bigger map bcs the game is quick but i still enjoyed the essence of how pubg used to be the tension, suspend and so on. Only thing i hate about Livik is they arent the same as the beta version which i like more.

[@OPtimusPrimeXFUTBOL]

Its not just that it lost most of its players because of things like fast paced events or because its not the same as it was. I have played PUBG mobile since I was 12. I used to pull up like 7-8 hours daily. And with the lockdown going on and not having the facilities to take online classes it went up like 14-15 hours a day. But after the lockdown was up me and my friends had to work, study do things most of us were supposed to do. And after that we would be exhausted which meant we didn't play long and slowly started playing way less like 2-3 hours a day. After that last year when we were 17 we started to focus more on our career which led me and my friends to a good grade we stopped playing and are still unable to find time to play the game we're fond of. I still kept playing after my friends stopped and it seemed not so fun anymore. same thing happened with my brother. Its just that PUBG doesn't seem fun to play without friends. Like we share glitches funny moments and have genuinely great time just like in real life. So in summary if even one of the player in a team stops playing the entire squad also stops playing. We don't replace a friend with anyone. Our squad is either always full or always empty.

[@azazel9136]

Nice video . I've been playing this game for 5 years now. You could say i started playing when the game left its original form and entered its new era where modes were released every 2 months. In my personal experience, the game actually became better until today The graphics became better, and the customisation became better There are fewer hackers and bugs. The only thing that changed in pubgm are the players Nowadays people are more competitive . Back then, there were fewer content creators than today. There were fewer videos telling you how to loot , where to land, and overall how to play the game With the rise of tiktok/social media, players now know more tactics and how to play the game better. Social media also changed how players looked at skins while watching their favourite youtuber/tiktoker playing aggressively and getting 20 to 40 kills per match. For example, the famous pubg mummy suit, the pharo x-suit, and the inferno helmet, this made those players look cool and made pubgm players want to buy those skin's . Most of the players who left the game are the players who aged and have better things to do than to play games

I am a former pro player and still play up to this day since release. I quit midway through almost a year due to personal issues. This video needs to go mainstream, but knowing the corporate greed and influence of Tencent, I won't be surprised if this video disappears one day. I miss old pubg, and there is no way I can get back that feeling ever. It helped me grieve and move on from my father's death, so it will always have a special place in my heart. But all good things must end and I too have moved on in life. Current pubg is okay but most old players will either shift to competitive to get the same feel or just leave, which is sad really. My countries competitive scene is dying. Once we managed to get one team on the global stage, the goal was to target even higher. Somewhere along the way, our community lost the passion, and everyone was consumed by all-consuming greed and ego.

I hope people don't forget that pubg PC still feels the same as it was back in 2017, just with a newer engine and improved visuals ofc it's more harder than the crappy mobile version. Edit: sure the pc version may be “dead” and bugs that still happened here and there, the game honestly still has a pretty good amount of players playing it till this day and since Pubg pc slowly loses lots of players. They ofc made the game free to play now and gain some players who didn’t bother to buy Pubg before, even if the game isn’t as popular anymore it still isn’t dead because of how many players the game still gains,And as for skins yeah let’s just say mobile Pubg is like any other mobile game which has a lot of fucking skins, it feels like a fashion game rather than a br game and also the ridiculous shit they add which takes the realism away that Pubg pc still has. Old Pubg pc was peak and mobile Pubg is a mockery to the pc version. What’s your guys other opinions?

Fond memories of 2018-2019 pubgm, seasons 2 to I think 9 or 10, release of sanhok, the vast miramar games were my fav, early school/pecado/bootcamp/villa hotdrops, arab randoms asking for kar on erangel, made some good friends of all ages and different countries, learned to play claw, played with a clan in some tourneys, got conq on fpp in s5 on na servers, got the mythic bunny suit and others (for free ofc). Squad games were fun with a good team, used to play into the early hours. Experienced some nice long range /moving snipes, also improbable situations/wins that would make my week. Facing remaining squads in final circles with the vss. Made some unreleased compilations of best moments. Tried to get the glass cannon title and gave up. Later on had fun playing tdm with the pump shotgun and the broken kar98. Eventually fpp became unplayable, hackers were too much of a problem and friends stopped playing, it just wasn’t the same anymore. Played a few times since when I stopped in 2020, it’s unplayable now for someone who remembers what it was like. The memories remain and I sometimes still watch chocotaco stream..

[@johnfrichcuento3613]

I played PUBG from s2-s19 I have had enough, from when I used to play, driving a car means death, like everyone sees you and will shoot you, so you are pretty much forced to walk the entire time, back then when looting then spotting a player which loot is obvsly higher than yours, you get this shaking hand if yours, not sure when to shoot but hesitant to do so, since it was a high risk high reward, less than 10 bullets is enough to send you to lobby, and it's good! You get these thrill because YOU know that YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE unlike now where in event areas provide you respawn tokens to return to the battlefield, which completely remove the worry to die. And it's the problem, having reassured that you will respawn will not trigger that rush and shaky hands you get, and that's the feeling WE WANT when we play, an actual game that focuses on pure survival and the ability to strike the opportunity when it comes, back then I play enthusiastically but now... It feels bland, like eating something sweet but you lost your sense of taste, right now I loath current PUBG, no other games can satisfy my taste, and that is my stupidly long statement.

[@rainy6563]

According to me,for PUBG to maintain it's true spirit, PUBGM should have Ranked mode only in the Original maps, and keep Event mode as 'Unranked' (for casual kids to play) and kills + position should not Add up in Statistics. For eg. Players usually have 2x or 3x more kills in event modes compared to classic maps, with upto 2x or 3x respawns. Therefore, the player Statistics greatly became overwhelming whilst it would not have been in non-event modes. Thus, Ranked matches should be free from Event modes, and the game would still won't lose it's true spirit.
