Honestly this is the only BR I truly enjoy. The realistic gunplay, pacing, gameplay loop, and satisfying sniper kills keeps me coming back. And even though most people who are left playing the game are hardcore and skilled, it makes it more of a challenge for me to get good at the game. I pride myself in being semi-decent at a game which most people cannot just pick up and be good at
Whend you start playing? Whatcha play on? The entire reason I have a PC and got back into gaming is because of PUBG. I originally played it on mobile, and by the time I was able to buy and build my computer, the amount of players dropped ridiculously low. I now own a PS5 on top of the PC and started playing on that instead.
Same here. Getting good at such a challenging and difficult game is very rewarding and satisfying. Being a difficult game make pubg a unique piece among many other ganes
But that dude was wrong on the real reason why pubg failed: -too much people using cheatcode. That cancels recoil, give aim lock, aim assist. Which gives insane advantage - pubg overexagerated too much on recoil. And lowering weapon damage each season. Making natural players very frustrated
Also adding too much vehicules of map. Which made too much teams use car as some kind of tank And this toxic behaviour made fight very lame It was best to keep vehicules at low avaidability. And add time limit on it so that it used only to go safe zone
@@FindTheTruthBeforeTheEndbattlegrounds mobile India is a ketamine frenzied fever dream of a shadow of what the game once used to be. It's just fortnite with pubg skins. An utter disgrace and a taste less iteration
I loved pubg. I played it 4-5 years straight. It was everything I wanted in a game. My heart would beat so fast while playing and I would have so many emotions playing. But everything has an end. PUBG will always have a place in my heart. Great video btw
Was instantly hooked when it launched on Xbox. Ironically, it was one of the cheapest games I ever bought but still play exclusively to this day. Nothing gets the heart pumping like those final circle plays
4000+ and 5 years later I still play it pretty much every week I love it Never been this great. Yes some of the skins are cartoonish but it still feels like the game i started playing in march 2018
i play pubg in 2024 and think it's more fun and better than before. game play is much faster and it is easier to find good loot. even if there are some sweaty players it's not bad and it's more fun than the other BR games because it's not easy.
That's what killed it for me was to much loot in the game. It took the thrill of getting a kill and looting a box away cause u already had everything from looting 2 houses. It took away the survival aspect away. But that's just my opinion
PUBG was actually how I discovered this channel. I still love the gameplay loop, and it's still the most enjoyable BR for me, but it is a shame to see it fall from its glory days. As with most games though, unfortunately.
I took a break from Pubg and came back this year and it's just so hard to compete because all the players are just so damn good.. I still remember my first win it was in the little compound between shelter and the trophy house I had a Scar-L and won so the Scar always has a place in my heart even though its not so good these days :(
@@robinpage2730 I honestly don’t see that much cheaters now that I play FPP. But TPP on the other hand is FULL of cheater and hackers. I actually haven’t ran into a cheater in months.
@noriceformeplz I've started server hopping on ProtonVPN. Seems to be helping reduce my encounters with cheaters. The Netherlands servers were actually fun
I played this game when It was not long released then didn't play it for years due to joining the military, now I play it every day at least 3 or 4 matches, i personally think these downfall videos are exaggerated, if you ignore the dancing and the crates and just play it to survive and try and use tactics to win, its still the most fun game I have ever played, I truly don't see anything wrong with this game, the thrill of gunfights when a car pulls up where your taking shelter, the echos of gun fire behind you when your trying to get away from the blue zone, still all truly capturing. One of my favourite games to play because it's just simple, don't get shot and die.
I was one of your older viewer and I used to watch every updates that you provide. It’s sad for me to see this game come from unique game experience to something I can’t even recognize anymore. I can really feel your happiness and sadness at the same time because you are very passionate when you talk about PUBG. Sadly, great things must come to an end and golden days will only be memories that you’ll cerish forever.
In 2018 in the early days, I had the pleasure to climb to the top 1% of the North American single player ladder. I grinded out games, played as a tactician, the name of the game was to survive at all costs. I dodged most fights, only fought when it was crucial, and the game was very intellectual and EXTREMELY well paced. Many of my chicken dinners would see me with less then 5 kills per game. The game is totally different now, I agree 100% with this review. Games used to have weight and depth and serious consequences. Now it’s just a shoot ‘em up game. I haven’t played for years now, but if someone wants to launch a vanilla PUBG server I’d be the first to join!!!
I was playing pubg at launch. The death came when Fortnite released and was new player friendly, had less cheaters, and was free. That and they kept releasing crappy maps that continuously split the player base.
Nailed it, also the China number one period is overlooked. Made game unplayable and that’s when I left. To this day the mic is muted at beginning of map because of that period.
I remember playing this before 1.0 on Xbox withy brother. All the crazy patches and updates. I specifically remember the patches that made it so if you even hit a pothole in a vehicle you'd die and then they tried to fix it, but then you'd just get launched into space. They finally got it right but it was a hell of a time.
They made some changes, there were bad decisions, stupid skins but it's 2024, I started playing again and it's great. The same feelings but with better graphic performance. I can't play other Battle Royale and I know I will keep coming back to it
What killed it for me was when they added to much loot in the game. You could drop literally anywhere and be set. It made getting a kill and looting the box pointless cause you would already have everything
I first played on xbox, during its preview. I’ve never experienced a dopamine and adrenaline hit from any other game like I did on PUBG. It was addicting!!! I will always remember my first win, having no clue what I was doing. All i had was an AK with no attachments!! Hiding behind a rock and I fluked the win, I had to have a 10 minute break to calm down , i was physically shaking 😂😂😂
haha i remember playing on xbox too when it first came out (my pc was soo bad) and it was the biggest mess of a game. yet i was addicted, it was no bullshit just pubg (buildings spawning in 1 minute into the game and all)
Well it really sucks when Fornite and Call of Duty decide to go into the genre, it's hard to compete with those giants but I still prefer PUBG and I still play it
Imagine if Gabe Newell just sold out Counter Strike 1.6 after it got popular for a few years just to go fishing more and "spend time with his family". I hope Brennan knows his game turned into assclown experience.
Seeing the shit show they have right now i would guess he had to battle uphill every self sabotaging stupid decision they wanted so he burned out and was pushed out. They put a drone in pubg, they hate pubg. They know what they are doing.
I've been playing since 2017 and although the game feels different today. The core gameplay is the same and I understand that the cosmetic items are a necessary evil to keep the game up and running. I still enjoy PUBG and it's my main game after all these years.
Damn the heart beats while in the last sircle while all of your friends are dead was something else and the feeling after a clutch and everyone shouting and yelling. Good old day's.
Just give us an option to get rid of the mcdonalds WiFi we play against. Sick and tired of watching a deathcam and the dude is bugging, rubberbanding and shooting behind me and killing me.
Coming from Arma 3 where I played PlayerUnknowns br mode a few times this game was perfect because of its similarities to arma. Me and my friends had noticeable advantages due to our experience in arma 3 so we won a lot. But the performance issues and questionable balance choices eventually led to us quitting after a long time
CHEATING, THAT's the ONLY thing that make me leave this game, same as my friends. Almost EVERY match I get one cheater, he "snipped" me with revolver :D also removing option of choosing maps is also bad decision which made thousands people just leave!
I started replaying this game recently, and I actualy enjoy it. The gameplay is still addictive and the playerbase is very friendly even if i'm still a noob. For me the 2 biggest mistakes they made is the lack of balanced games, a lvl 10 will play will lvl 500 players, and the cheaters. The experience is hardcore for new players and the casual mode (12 players, 88 bots) is limited to 3 games a days, so if you want to play more fasten your seatbelt. Great video though !
The devs seem to work for Fortnite given how much they hate og pubg. They are making pubg 2, i guess its going to be the same ridículous thing wanting to make a hard game easier for the sugar kids that won't stay anyway. Look at the repair kits for streamers and sweaty players. I hope they pull it off but indont think so.
Ever since KRAFTON bought PUBG, they slowly but surely wanted to cater the Asian audience. I mean, they have 2 maps based on Asia, the skins and cosmetics appeal to Asia, and even some of the events are something that isn't really popular anywhere else BUT Asia. I'm not hating, I just wanted to point it out because PUBG mobile markets the game this way too. Ever since that game released.
Yes when they sacrificed TPP and split the game in half so some wallhacker streamers stopped crying about not being able to run and gun with their cheats the game died. They still catering to the vultures and so the game is slowly rotting away.
That whole dopamine thing about pubg is so right, I still think about a stupid mistake my friend made when I was on a killing spree, I had like 10 kills and my boy drives straight into the enemy and just stays there and we all die 😑
When i first played the game, our squad got ambushed in open field and i started throwing smokes, then the nade cycle started and i threw one close, thinking it was also a smoke, and boom, we’re all boxes. My friends shit themselves laughing at me
Discrete wall hackers killed this game. School was the perfect place to cheat. Lots of top tier are using walls very skillfully. They always turn to the nearest player. Once you go through replay after replay following the winners you realize most are just sad losers cheating.
Started playing since 2018 and never stopped, I started on mobile then console then PC but stuck to console and Mobile. I incorporated my skills from mobile to console and took me a year to get good at console, I have aced PUBG in skill on both mobile and console. I will never stop loving this game.
The last time i felt the core beauty of PLAYER UNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS is when i played PUBG Lite for PC,years later,got my pc finally couple months ago,and missing the game so much i downloaded original version,i felt like i loaded into FORTG,all the new unnecessary skins,bundles,money grabs and all just like copy paste from fortnite,i dont play fortnite,but i know enough about it,so seing pubg in this state,it broke my heart,i still play it for the core memories of the beauty and joy it used to bring,i also found a friend on pubg lite,we dont talk much anymore,but we both still miss it...
Yeah but you’re basically what is killing the game. The most die hard players and streamers should never be your target audience if you want a game to succeed.
To all the people that say they miss PUBG, nothing's stopping you from going back and playing it. Game's has improved compared to how it was years ago, and no issues with finding matches too.
Improved? In what world? The graphics are absolutely terrible. You can no longer play a stealth game and the luck element has been eliminated by the fact you can’t hide in the grass and the high weapon spawn rate. The game was popular because anyone could win. Now you have to circle walk and play mouse and keyboard to have a chance.
I like how Greene dipped at its peak like Dean Hall did with DayZ. dude sold out as soon as possible so he could go back to doing jack before like before when he was on food stamps?
They pushed him out. I mean they put drones in PUBG, now they put repair kits so streamers can repair their lvl 3 vests and stop whining because they cant win even with wallhacking and a 500k rig. Its pathetic.
Really liked the video. I wonder how things would have evolved differently if they never added first person mode. I know the streamers and pros wanted it but I never asked for it. At this point I can't imagine going back to third person but in a parallel universe I'm sure I'd still be having a good time in 3rd person mode.
I would ban streamers day 1 of owning pubg. Straight up forever ban. I would ban First person perspective with a smile and would make that you only get weapons from people you kill. No compass, no map, no speeding and trashing the vehicles, you crash hard you die. A few bullets and the engine is gone etc. No killfeed. If you carry all level 3 gear you become slower no matter how many boosts to have drank. The more loot you carry the slower you go. The publisher sold pubg to the streamers and screwed the players.
I had memorys with this game I get nostalgia remembering all the moments I spent playing it with my friends and my family members but for me I personally stopped enjoying it after season 19
Exactly what you said in the video. When this game first released there was nothing like it and it felt new and refreshing even with the clunkiness of it all. The first year before all the updates was probably the only moment I felt how I did in the COD prime era of 07-12.
Always play free to play but with the over monetization of the game if you dont pay then the experience after a few matches degrades very quickly to the point it's not worth playing. You get the feeling your just there to provide members with kills and resupply them along with keeping the game's player numbers up. Popularity contests, many of the new skins,more maps left me scratching my head wondering what is the dev team thinking and who is really pulling the strings and making the core decisions on where the game is headed.
Its free to play because most the paying players fleed to avoid being fodder for the cheaters. They cater to streamers to pull noobs into the cheats not into the game.
I love the proximity chat. I love how well it runs on any console. I love how they constantly add new interesting gameplay mechanics. I love how they don’t rake in money with overpriced loot boxes and don’t follow evil modern AAA practices of raping players for every little cent without actually adding anything of value to the game without fixing problems that have existed since the very beginning…
I still like to credit Minecraft Hunger Games which kicked off literally alongside the Hunger Games Movies. It shot hundreds of content creators into the million-subscriber status or the 6 figures at least. In general that was also just better because the variety of BR maps you got vastly outnumber anything we've since cause you don't have to rely on one single studio to build them. Now if you're to credit it as the first big streaming BR... then yes, PUBG.
It is not realistic for a game to keep 3 mil players. It's a hype that is over after some weeks. Many games got some hype climbed huge player numbers for some time and gone back to a realistic count. PUBG as of now has 300k players on steam for the last 12 months and considering that is only steam and not even console or epic store, I'd say it is far from dead. It is a bit of a pitty that eastern gaming market has the mosts money in it, so you will always see free to play games tend to get more eastern cosmetics and those dances etc. That's what get those players engaged.
I commented before starting the video but after being half way thru I had to stop to say damn, Chopper absolutely nailed it. I mean he really really gets it & lays it out perfectly. 10/10 video. Perfectly said.
I've watched a few of these "rise & fall" style videos about PUBG and they either avoid entirely or just gloss over the fact that the game was so saturated with cheaters, that's what made it truly unplayable. Yes, it's true that many bad decisions were made along its development and it was quite a rusty in itself, but it began early on in Brendan Greene's tenure with the insertion of microtransactions into the game while it was still in alpha state. Their greed was realised early on. Despite the game's poor state for such a long time, it always remained the cheaters as the primary issue. There were over 10 million accounts banned in the first 15 months of its existence. To this day, 100k accounts are banned weekly in a game that is 7 years old and almost 80% bots in each lobby. This is information published by the devs themselves. What stopped people from coming back was going through the modus operandi of a standard game of PUBG for 20 minutes to just be killed by a cheater and today, despite the high bot count, 80% of deaths are still a result of cheating. I constantly receive updates on reported players so whatever they're working on for an effective anti cheat will be too little, too late.
The cheating problem is the real number 1 reason people don't pay PUBG much anymore. My personal conspiracy theory is that the devs themselves are the ones making and selling the cheats and cheat accounts
100% they made pubg into a content creation environment for twitch, the streamers cheat to have nice streams, the noobs try the game and get wrecked then get piped down to the cheats. Regulars flee and they bring bots, eventually the game will be 90% cheaters 10% noobs.
It's great when I play pudg mobile on my phone when I was a younger kid ago but now the game has fallen and I will miss pudg for a long time and great video man :]
I’ve quit all shooters until they get the cheating problem fixed. You put any amount of real time into the game and eventually every game is filled with cheaters. It’s just ridiculous
Did the game have issues, yes. But Fall? I think it wasn't realistic to expect them to hold a monthly 1M avg playerbase let alone the 3M highest peak. For comparison, Counter-Strike which is forever more popular and the most famous FPS averages 1.2M. Blaming the "sweaty" players is disingenuous. You have those in every competitive game. Furthermore given the nature of the game, it's up to each player where to drop whether a hot zone or remote area. And something PUBG has vastly changed since peak days is loot distribution. Nowadays, you can get top tier loot pretty much anywhere. Right now, it's great content-wise, good map variation and they found the best way to give variation without halving the queue list.
It's amazing how consistent and great Apex has been over the years. It stayed absolutely true to itself. Really thankful. No matter how long you didn't play you come back to it and feel right at home. Literally every other game has lost that feeling.
Honestly this is the only BR I truly enjoy. The realistic gunplay, pacing, gameplay loop, and satisfying sniper kills keeps me coming back. And even though most people who are left playing the game are hardcore and skilled, it makes it more of a challenge for me to get good at the game. I pride myself in being semi-decent at a game which most people cannot just pick up and be good at

It feels like youre an actual guy just dropped into a warzone. The moment you see someone else, you think "ok i may die here".
It genuinely hurts my heart to see how far PUBG has fallen from what it used to be

The fact they never added prox chat into console really set me back. 😭
I could play OG Erangel for 10 hours straight, all time favorite map. I miss playing this with my brother on Xbox back in the day.
coming back on may 14
Persona 5 music was used excellently in this video! 10/10❤❤❤
Hardcore style started from the school. School killed pubg.
Discrete wall hackers killed this game. School was the perfect place to cheat. Lots of top tier are using walls very skillfully. They always turn to the nearest player. Once you go through replay after replay following the winners you realize most are just sad losers cheating.
Started playing since 2018 and never stopped, I started on mobile then console then PC but stuck to console and Mobile. I incorporated my skills from mobile to console and took me a year to get good at console, I have aced PUBG in skill on both mobile and console. I will never stop loving this game.
The last time i felt the core beauty of PLAYER UNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS is when i played PUBG Lite for PC,years later,got my pc finally couple months ago,and missing the game so much i downloaded original version,i felt like i loaded into FORTG,all the new unnecessary skins,bundles,money grabs and all just like copy paste from fortnite,i dont play fortnite,but i know enough about it,so seing pubg in this state,it broke my heart,i still play it for the core memories of the beauty and joy it used to bring,i also found a friend on pubg lite,we dont talk much anymore,but we both still miss it...
I know the vibe of PUB G has changed. But to me it's still the best BR out there. Steam charts also agree with me
@5:40 Oh God
To have experienced pubg at its prime is an honor
PUBG is the best by far.
PUBG #1
Just started playing PUBG on console and I love it. It’s the only BR that I truly enjoy.
Agreed
Same
I will never stop playing PUBG. It’s the only game I play. It’s definitely more addictive and satisfying than any other game I have ever played
Yeah but you’re basically what is killing the game. The most die hard players and streamers should never be your target audience if you want a game to succeed.
To all the people that say they miss PUBG, nothing's stopping you from going back and playing it. Game's has improved compared to how it was years ago, and no issues with finding matches too.
Improved? In what world? The graphics are absolutely terrible. You can no longer play a stealth game and the luck element has been eliminated by the fact you can’t hide in the grass and the high weapon spawn rate. The game was popular because anyone could win. Now you have to circle walk and play mouse and keyboard to have a chance.
Totally agree with you. I tried to come back to the game a few times but i kept getting bullied and needless to say it was infuriating.
I like how Greene dipped at its peak like Dean Hall did with DayZ. dude sold out as soon as possible so he could go back to doing jack before like before when he was on food stamps?
They pushed him out. I mean they put drones in PUBG, now they put repair kits so streamers can repair their lvl 3 vests and stop whining because they cant win even with wallhacking and a 500k rig. Its pathetic.
I like doing challenges in casual such as pistol only. No armor, one gun of choice,
Realistic ammo capacity etc.
Still the best Battle Royale to date. Sad with how it was ran. I'd still play regularly if I had any friends that would play it.
Nick, we're looking for a 4th. Car dudes too. Let's get it !
Taego, Deston and Haven goated maps
Ass

Really liked the video. I wonder how things would have evolved differently if they never added first person mode. I know the streamers and pros wanted it but I never asked for it. At this point I can't imagine going back to third person but in a parallel universe I'm sure I'd still be having a good time in 3rd person mode.
I would ban streamers day 1 of owning pubg. Straight up forever ban. I would ban First person perspective with a smile and would make that you only get weapons from people you kill. No compass, no map, no speeding and trashing the vehicles, you crash hard you die. A few bullets and the engine is gone etc. No killfeed. If you carry all level 3 gear you become slower no matter how many boosts to have drank. The more loot you carry the slower you go. The publisher sold pubg to the streamers and screwed the players.
I had memorys with this game I get nostalgia remembering all the moments I spent playing it with my friends and my family members but for me I personally stopped enjoying it after season 19
I guess they brought pubg back with warzone 2
Exactly what you said in the video. When this game first released there was nothing like it and it felt new and refreshing even with the clunkiness of it all. The first year before all the updates was probably the only moment I felt how I did in the COD prime era of 07-12.
Iam gonna predict, the next big thing will be dmz/extraction based games!
The more pve focused gameplay is my jam!
Always play free to play but with the over monetization of the game if you dont pay then the experience after a few matches degrades very quickly to the point it's not worth playing. You get the feeling your just there to provide members with kills and resupply them along with keeping the game's player numbers up. Popularity contests, many of the new skins,more maps left me scratching my head wondering what is the dev team thinking and who is really pulling the strings and making the core decisions on where the game is headed.
Its free to play because most the paying players fleed to avoid being fodder for the cheaters. They cater to streamers to pull noobs into the cheats not into the game.
I love the proximity chat. I love how well it runs on any console. I love how they constantly add new interesting gameplay mechanics. I love how they don’t rake in money with overpriced loot boxes and don’t follow evil modern AAA practices of raping players for every little cent without actually adding anything of value to the game without fixing problems that have existed since the very beginning…
Survival part missing and becoming gunfight focused
It's become pathetic with the skin spam. However it still has more active players then both warzones combined.
Good video man
I still like to credit Minecraft Hunger Games which kicked off literally alongside the Hunger Games Movies. It shot hundreds of content creators into the million-subscriber status or the 6 figures at least. In general that was also just better because the variety of BR maps you got vastly outnumber anything we've since cause you don't have to rely on one single studio to build them.
Now if you're to credit it as the first big streaming BR... then yes, PUBG.
It is not realistic for a game to keep 3 mil players. It's a hype that is over after some weeks. Many games got some hype climbed huge player numbers for some time and gone back to a realistic count.
PUBG as of now has 300k players on steam for the last 12 months and considering that is only steam and not even console or epic store, I'd say it is far from dead.
It is a bit of a pitty that eastern gaming market has the mosts money in it, so you will always see free to play games tend to get more eastern cosmetics and those dances etc. That's what get those players engaged.
Most ppl scared of pubg they think it's to hard
H1Z1 is the father of Battle Royale. I can admit that and i never even played it.
I commented before starting the video but after being half way thru I had to stop to say damn, Chopper absolutely nailed it. I mean he really really gets it & lays it out perfectly. 10/10 video. Perfectly said.
I've watched a few of these "rise & fall" style videos about PUBG and they either avoid entirely or just gloss over the fact that the game was so saturated with cheaters, that's what made it truly unplayable. Yes, it's true that many bad decisions were made along its development and it was quite a rusty in itself, but it began early on in Brendan Greene's tenure with the insertion of microtransactions into the game while it was still in alpha state. Their greed was realised early on.
Despite the game's poor state for such a long time, it always remained the cheaters as the primary issue. There were over 10 million accounts banned in the first 15 months of its existence. To this day, 100k accounts are banned weekly in a game that is 7 years old and almost 80% bots in each lobby. This is information published by the devs themselves. What stopped people from coming back was going through the modus operandi of a standard game of PUBG for 20 minutes to just be killed by a cheater and today, despite the high bot count, 80% of deaths are still a result of cheating. I constantly receive updates on reported players so whatever they're working on for an effective anti cheat will be too little, too late.
The only good BR :/ Sadge
Started watching Ch0pper on this game then went to cod such a good game
good video Chopper im a huge fan keep it up
The cheating problem is the real number 1 reason people don't pay PUBG much anymore. My personal conspiracy theory is that the devs themselves are the ones making and selling the cheats and cheat accounts
100% they made pubg into a content creation environment for twitch, the streamers cheat to have nice streams, the noobs try the game and get wrecked then get piped down to the cheats. Regulars flee and they bring bots, eventually the game will be 90% cheaters 10% noobs.
i used to play all the time, it's what really got me into doing YT, I tried it again and it just felt weird. Like a mobile game.
It had a good lifespan, cant say it was overhyped or underhyped tbh, it set its spot well
1. Death had more meaning in the original PUBG. It was a game of survival not necessarily kills. They messed this up.
It's great when I play pudg mobile on my phone when I was a younger kid ago but now the game has fallen and I will miss pudg for a long time and great video man :]
It can take a trun....
Bty making it longer.... ie 400 players in a 4 combined map.... sqauds 🔥
Lol
I’ve quit all shooters until they get the cheating problem fixed. You put any amount of real time into the game and eventually every game is filled with cheaters. It’s just ridiculous
The games are just mining idiots for the cheat sellers
PUBG has the problem of being the first to popularise modern battle royales, so it doesn’t have a base to improve the formula unlike Fortnite or Apex
Did the game have issues, yes. But Fall? I think it wasn't realistic to expect them to hold a monthly 1M avg playerbase let alone the 3M highest peak. For comparison, Counter-Strike which is forever more popular and the most famous FPS averages 1.2M. Blaming the "sweaty" players is disingenuous. You have those in every competitive game. Furthermore given the nature of the game, it's up to each player where to drop whether a hot zone or remote area. And something PUBG has vastly changed since peak days is loot distribution. Nowadays, you can get top tier loot pretty much anywhere. Right now, it's great content-wise, good map variation and they found the best way to give variation without halving the queue list.
I been playing since day one and the game is very much enjoyable
Brilliant work
It's amazing how consistent and great Apex has been over the years. It stayed absolutely true to itself.
Really thankful. No matter how long you didn't play you come back to it and feel right at home. Literally every other game has lost that feeling.
apex??? bro this is pubg...
@@ellipticEYE yeah I'm commenting on the rise and fall of games. And Apex just has been pretty consistent.
@@daniel_960_ oh, thanks for the clarification, i was confused. 😅
