What If PUBG Didn't Waste Your Time?

[@jamesrice4705]

As a player with 1100 hours in the game and a long time fan of choco, it sucked to miss out on buying his skins that I'd definitely pay for now because I had a particularly busy work season with little time to play.

Pretty sure the point of limited time skins and shit is to invoke that "Buy now while supplies last!" kind of gimmick. It's a known fact about marketing that putting a time limit on a product increases it's value and the incentive to buy it. The market and microtransactions laden in PUBG is the part of the game I find hardest to stomach. I know it's obligatory these days for games to find some way to make money in game, regardless of whether you paid full price for it or not, but it's really done in some of the worst ways possible in this case. I've never played a game with a crate & key system like this, and quite frankly I was appalled when I found out it was in this game that I was enjoying so much. Why the fuck should I bother spending BP on cases if I have to spend money to unlock them? Not that there's anything better to do with it, the only shit you can buy with BP is garbage clothing (Which, playing strictly FPP, has zero value to me) or cringy emotes. Even worse is that most of the time, I get the same items over and over from the free to open crates, usually trash that you can sell for a fraction of the cost of the crate. Seriously, if I ever see another pair of grey slippers in my inventory I'll hang myself. It's at the point where I don't even bother spending BP anymore. I know that cosmetics aren't important or game changing, but everyone likes being rewarded for playing their game. And the cosmetics system as is, dangled in front of the player mockingly, is more like telling them that the money they spent on the game isn't good enough. If there were a way to unlock more things, drive up the incentive to playing more, it would do good for the player base. But as is, doing well is so unrewarding that I've seen many people stop playing just because it feels pointless.

I 100% agree, as a casual player who refuses to pay for season passes the store, bp, tickets, coupons are a complete waste of time and a frustration that I’d rather not have to deal with. Makes me feel like a cash cow and I’m sure it’s turning many casuals like myself away from the game.

Men your channel deserve more than this 🔥🔥

It's so ludicrous that some of their skins cost half of the games total cost. There's no incentive to keep playing if you haven't paid for a pass since most crates are locked and frankly who wants to win their 30x biege crossbow skin. The games player base is constantly dropping and the players who drop a lot of cash for skins won't have any to fight if they don't keep the other players happy. I bought a pass because I was so bored of having no progression but most likely will be calling it quits when it runs out. I'm not throwing more money into a game I paid full price for.

[@mcdumler]

Great video dude. Would be great to see some of these ideas implemented. So much wasted potential with this game.

[@Grifflicious]

Thank you so much!

[@davthp]

Totally agree especially getting rid of the crates.

[@bl4ckang4l]

Definitly agree with you

[@rowanburns4841]

very well made, definitely agree with you on these points

[@mrequinox590]

It's making me sad/upset to see so many awesome content creators have the ideas to make PUBG a better game however PUBG CORP is STILL breaking the game. Still wont ping lock China (ah yes, getting killed by DoYUTV with a headshot with his 300 ping is such an ESPORTS READY experience) BP skins would make it awesome for us. Your idea would actually bring so many players back to PUBG even. As you said, I have 40k BP that's utterly useless because they wont let us get a single skin. When we finally can open a crate? We get the same 10 cent pair of shoes. The game costs too much, the crates are stupidly priced and still give us terrible items. PUBG CORP is one of the most disappointing dev team I have ever seen. Even the DayZ devs have more of my respect because they didn't go back on their modding support etc.

[@badnewsbruner]

PUBG Corp is a terrible company. They need to get their shit together because EVERYBODY talks about how dissatisfied they are with the game, whether it be gameplay, or monetization. They should start caring, if that's possible for them to do. It's Grifflicious!

[@killpatch4175]

About the cosmetics: you don’t need them. There’s no ‘time investment’ or feeling of ‘time wasted’. I don’t care for most cosmetics because I play FPP and can’t see any of it anyway. What’s the issue here? Gun skins aren’t necessary and some even make you easier to see in a building. I thought this video would deal with things like not being able to re-queue from the death screen, the stupid html based menu, the fact we have to wait 60 seconds on top of what we already waited to finally get in the plane, etc. Instead this is just the usual streamer/content creator talking about cosmetics and how easy it should be to acquire them. Nothing groundbreaking.

[@haraldhirsch7127]

True :)

[@angryb0i734]

Just got done watching the entire series of why I suck at pubg, was gonna go put my newfound knowledge to good use, servers are down for maintenance 🤦‍♂️.

[@Grifflicious]

How did you enjoy it? Also, got a new video coming either tonight or tomorrow! Exclusive scoop for you lol

[@angryb0i734]

@@Grifflicious I loved it! I have over 20 chicken dinners on xbox and have about 25 hours on PC, but cant seem to get the chicken dinner. Most kills I've gotten in a match is 3. I just cant seem to be consistent with my aim and everyone else is just so much more accurate and fast than me

[@Grifflicious]

@@angryb0i734 make sure you're putting in your time in the training grounds to dial in that aim. You'll start to see it pay off without a doubt.

[@angryb0i734]

@@Grifflicious about how much time do you think I should spend in the training grounds warming up at the start of play sessions?

[@Grifflicious]

@@angryb0i734 I would recommend at least 10 minutes. Enough time to try a handful of weapons and scopes and reach a state in which you feel warm and comfortable.

[@BrianAnim]

Just play the game to play it, ignore the cosmetics.
