The world’s most interesting stag & hen weekend banter simulator, Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds, has revealed its supposed ‘true’ story with an outrageous retcon in a brand new trailer. No, we’re speculated to consider, the game isn’t about lads and lasses going too onerous and getting carried away with pranks. Now it’s some wank a few child surviving a bloodbath then internet hosting megamurders so different individuals can uncover who they are surely by doing murders like a nasty horror movie about neo-Paleo dickheads. Awful.
I’m now deeply involved in regards to the “original narrative experience” they’re making.
I don’t just like the implication that the fictional Playerunknown overseeing all it is a snuff film voyeur, after I know he’s mostly discovered at a toga celebration holding a Curaçao-blue cocktail bristling with straws, miniature umbrellas, and pineapple slices in every hand.
I’ve by no means felt extra disrespected as a fan. I’ve loved lots of of hours enjoying a game about unruly stag & hen weekends, lots of of hours of foolishness, pranks, banter, and singing Chelsea Dagger. Now PUBG Corp are going to show round and inform me truly I used to be discovering my id as a assassin? Mate I used to be discovering my id as a laddad, main sing-songs, ensuring the opposite lads have drunk their Hot Bull, tending to wounds, checking we’ve acquired sufficient petrol, and making certain banter doesn’t get too out of hand. Now you’re saying I’m not a laddad, I’m the form of dickhead who writes prolonged Reddit posts about how civilisation is a trick, and it’s kill-or-be-killed, and in case you’re not able to do murders you’re simply sheeple? That’s outrageous.
This disgraceful shift in narrative path comes as PUBG Corp put together for the beginning of Season 4, the game’s subsequent collection of replace and occasions. Much of that, I’m truly up for.
Season Four will kick off on July 24th with Update 4.1, which is now dwell on the check servers. It focuses on transforming the island of Erangel, the patch notes clarify. Expect modifications together with overhauls of some key cities and compounds, livelier terrain, and a sprinkling of artillery emplacements, pillboxes, trenches, and Czech hedgehogs to replicate the gritty new backstory. As a fan of in-game sculpture, I need to say I’m nicely into the brand new piece welcoming us to the Military Base:
That’s beautiful, that.
The patch notes additionally element weapon stability modifications, having the ability to stroll whereas utilizing therapeutic objects, Blue Zone velocity modifications, and extra.
It’s not all grit and conflict, thoughts. The replace additionally provides a automobile radio, enjoying one random music every time we flip it on. Sadly, we can not feed it our personal music. But the game does rightly recognise that solely the driving force has the authority to vary the music and management the amount. Turntables across the island can play tunes too.
Maybe it’ll be high quality. Maybe PUBG Corp received’t do a lot to power that gritty rubbish into the game. They most likely can’t. Even if they are saying the game is now some ‘law of the jungle’ pish, I’ll nonetheless be shouting “Chug! Chug! Chug!” whereas the lads slams cans.
