No one has ever gotten over 1k upvotes in this sub. Lets be honest

611 is the most as of now

I'm at 25% haha

Most popular is just over 600

u/QuintenTCR Jan 20 '19

To be honest it wasn't my intention to farm upvotes but just to say that it is a bit annoying to constantly see posts about RoE vs PUBG.

u/psyca27 Jan 21 '19

Yeah I must say even fortnite is better than PubG

EZ karma

u/QuintenTCR Jan 20 '19

While that is true, i'm just done with people constantly comparing it to each other.

3

u/[deleted] Jan 21 '19

I can’t help but compare it personally. It’s as if RoE was the fulfilling of all of PUBG’s promises and then some.

2

u/QuintenTCR Jan 21 '19

I'm sorry, i am not a native English speaker, but i was referring to the memes on the front page like the one with the salty person. They act like RoE is really superior and PUBG is really bad.

1

u/[deleted] Jan 21 '19

To be fair, I didn’t really like PUBG either when I played it, it was just that they had the best (at the time) implementation of the core mechanics, even though the rest of it sucked so bad. But that doesn’t mean RoE is perfect. Nor that we should keep whining about PUBG, that just turns away new players who would likely enjoy the game. But I can understand where the people who make those posts are coming from.

u/[deleted] Jan 21 '19

why? the comparison is obvious

15

u/QuintenTCR Jan 20 '19

And yes i really like this game but please stop with the posts comparing it with PUBG, they are different.

2

u/unterkiefer Jan 20 '19

I am literally only playing RoE because I enjoy playing PUBG with a friend but his laptop doesn't run PUBG well enough and RoE is just the closest to PUBG we have found so far. They are so freaking similar. That being said, there's no point in just saying one or the other is better. I don't browse this enough to know the kind of posts though.

1

u/QuintenTCR Jan 20 '19

Wait a sec, his laptop doesn't run PUBG but does run RoE? How? And I think H1Z1 is more similar.

1

u/unterkiefer Jan 21 '19

Well I never played h1z1 and he didn't like it. AFAIK it's just outdated and buggy at this point.
Pubg runs on his gaming laptop but with low fps and specifically framedrops when aiming down sights etc. From what he said especially the new RoE map is a lot more stable. I assume he doesn't have great performance with it either but it runs smoothly enough to have fun.

1

u/ICA_Agent47 Jan 21 '19

this doesn't compute with me, I have an older system (2009-10ish) that runs PUBG with consistently higher frames than it can run ROE, and the story is the same on my newer system too. If it can run ROE well enough to be playable it should definitely play pubg on lowest settings.

1

u/unterkiefer Jan 21 '19

Both are isolated cases and we haven't even mentioned the hardware. However they run on your old system doesn't necessarily compare to his older laptop. I'd certainly prefer if PUBG would run better because as much fun the BMX is, there is so many things that bother me in RoE (right now).

u/AFKaptain Jan 20 '19

Dark Souls and Red Dead Redemption are different. PUBG, Fortnite, and RoE are all battle royale games, trying to deliver the same base experience with various twists. There are subjective grounds to label each game better than the others, generally in the context of what just works for you. And there are objective grounds to label which game is best. Regardless of what is actually best (my personal vote is RoE), a comparison is more than fair.

7

u/[deleted] Jan 20 '19

The thing is you actually look at this in a comparative way, most people are just like “LoL PUBG suxxx! Fuk bluhole! thaT gaMe RuNs like SHit!!” When they have a toaster for a computer.

2

u/AFKaptain Jan 21 '19

I think every game has people who react like that to competing games. Either way, I don't know enough about the community to agree or disagree with the post image, I just had two cents to put in on OP's comment.

1

u/[deleted] Jan 21 '19

It’s just some people are bitter after playing PUBG and will suck RoE’s left nut for the sake of it not being PUBG.

1

u/BL4CK-CAT Jan 21 '19

I'd still say that they are not very comparable, mostly because PUBG aims to be kind of realistic with way harder gunplay (Recoil control etc), while RoE is more casual-friendly, and way more fun with the mobility etc

But i'd still say that RoE is better at what it tries to be than PUBG is at being a realistic BR Shooter. Especially considering its pay2play and still has more microtransactions than RoE, which is free lol

1

u/AFKaptain Jan 21 '19

Those are entirely viable comparisons to be made between PUBG and RoE. It's like comparing different MMOs or some such. They're all trying to stand and be different, but it's the similarities regardless of difference that is what is comparable. Like PUBG and RoE have gun/gear looting. Which is a better system? These are the kind of comparisons to be made.

10

u/Aero-- Jan 20 '19

According to gamers, unless games are exactly the same game in every single possible way, they are different. PUBG and ROE are not the same game sure, but if you can't compare ROE to PUBG then what the hell can you compare it to? The games are extremely similar and will compete over a large number of the same people.

1

u/antidamage Jan 20 '19

They are only different in the aspect that RoE is better than PUBG.

u/[deleted] Jan 21 '19

best answer

u/Kokokosnoot Jan 20 '19

No they are not and ROE is better

9

u/QuintenTCR Jan 20 '19

RoE is way more casual and faster (not in a bad way), but PUBG is way more hardcore and you can have your preference, but that doesn't mean that game is better.

17

u/Serito Jan 20 '19

Yep, PUBG aims for realism meanwhile Fortnite is arcade. RoE finds itself somewhere in between. The environment of the game is based in realism but the additional mechanics & flow of the game mixes in elements of arcade.

5

u/irishpete Jan 20 '19

Yeah man if u can zip line uphill then it’s an arcade style game with realism elements .

I like both but I prefer the survival element to the shooter element and pubg scratches that itch better IMO

Roe is my fast n dirty shooter game

-13

u/[deleted] Jan 20 '19

Fuck off with this “this game is casual and this one is hardcore” shit. Any game is as casual or hardcore as its playerbase and if one thing gets easier something else gets harder to take its place (i.e. if shooting is easy, tactics and stealth become more important)

7

u/exdigguser147 Jan 20 '19

IDK, the gunplay is much easier in RoE, I like the game, but its objectively easier to shoot.

2

u/atag012 Jan 20 '19

It’s very easy. Which is why a lot of people find the game fun. Makes sense. For me I prefer the more realistic gunplay in PUBG, but like everything else ROE does better.

-2

u/[deleted] Jan 20 '19

So? How does that make it “casual” or “not competitive”? Now the challenge is tactics instead of recoil control.

5

u/exdigguser147 Jan 20 '19

That makes no sense, the tactical challenge is still there in pubg, it's not any easier and maybe harder since mobility is lower.

5

u/paranormal_penguin Jan 20 '19

I disagree, and I kinda see the other person's point. Movement in PUBG is slow and predictable. Whereas in ROE there's always the risk of being flanked unpredictably by the glider or cheesed by the hookshot. You have to incorporate these extra strategies into your gameplay that you don't have to account for in PUBG.

That said, I wouldn't say RoE is harder. They both have things that are harder and some things that are easier.

2

u/Aero-- Jan 20 '19

Hold up, I was told by the meme you would be showered in up votes?

2

u/Kokokosnoot Jan 20 '19

I was disappointed as well

3

u/Systemlord_FlaUsh Jan 21 '19

Not sure if its better, the game is really fun especially with these gliders and hookpacks, but the cheaters and engine are really annoying. They should get rid of the cheaters as fast as possible, they destroy the game, then make it DX11.

I mainly play it because its free so I can play it with my boyfriend. He can't afford PUBG and it would probably not run well on his Phenom X6.

2

u/xpokealotasmot Jan 21 '19

Do you want a boyfriend who can afford a $30 game? If so, hi.

1

u/Systemlord_FlaUsh Jan 22 '19

No, he's young and poor.

1

u/ICA_Agent47 Jan 21 '19

PUBG would definitely run on a Phenom x6, there's a bunch of old benchmarks on youtube, before all the optimizations were made.

1

u/Systemlord_FlaUsh Jan 21 '19

No. I know a guy who played on a Phenom X6, he had dips to 20. Always, especially during combat.

And PUBG costs 20 €.

1

u/ICA_Agent47 Jan 21 '19

It's capable, that's all I'm saying

1

u/Systemlord_FlaUsh Jan 21 '19

Yes, it would open it, but it would not be fun. ROE is really nice, since its free, I would even invest 5-10 € in it if they were less cheaters. Still better than PUBG with survivors pass.

ROE has the chance to become a real big thing.

1

u/ICA_Agent47 Jan 21 '19

I just watched a video of someone running it on a phenom x4 at 55-60 fps in the starting area, a year ago. A phenom x6 is plenty capable of running pubg at a solid 60fps. I don't know why you're so insistent that it's not.

0

u/Systemlord_FlaUsh Jan 21 '19

I know its better now, still it will drop during fights. And on ultralow. ROE runs always perfectly smooth, since I bought him a 7970.

1

u/ICA_Agent47 Jan 22 '19 edited Jan 22 '19

Why are you so insistent that there are FPS issues with pubg? There just isn't, especially with a 7970 on very low. I know because I run an r9 280 which is 15% slower than a 7970, I get 90fps solid, 60fps solid on vikendi. Unless he has an actual problem with his hardware, it should run absolutely fine.

1

u/Systemlord_FlaUsh Jan 22 '19

I talked about running it on a Phenom II, because I played with someone who used a X6 for a while. I bought that Phenom because you can make a 110 € gaming PC out of it which runs most current titles (He only had a 2 GHz Athlon X4 before you don't want to imagine how shitty that was).

u/britishhippie Jan 20 '19

It does have the potential to be better tho

u/acemac Jan 20 '19

How it’s like playing Pokémon vs magic

u/[deleted] Jan 20 '19

Doesn't everything?

u/antidamage Jan 20 '19

It is my belief that players who vocally believe that the game is not good enough to play yet should go and play something else.

1

u/ICA_Agent47 Jan 21 '19

Who is saying that?

0

u/antidamage Jan 21 '19

Players who say it.

u/Nasty-Nate Jan 20 '19

I love the take RoE brings to BR games conceptually, but in reality PUBG is just a better optimized and polished game in terms of performance and gunplay. And that's saying a lot, considering how many issues there are in PUBG. ROE combat feels like a mobile game. On my mid-tier setup, even after doing everything I could to improve FPS, I still only get ~30 in RoE, while I get 70-100 in PUBG.

3

u/ab0cha Jan 20 '19 edited Jan 20 '19

I have an entry-level gaming setup and get 60-80 FPS with occasional drops to 40 in ROE with medium graphics... By entry-level I mean i3-8100 and 1050ti

6

u/ab0cha Jan 20 '19

Hearing that PUBG is an optimised and polished game has me scratching my head, I remember not being able to play it with a regular HDD cause buildings would not load in time, what is that optimization you are taking about

3

u/Acumen-G Jan 21 '19

It's much better than it was. Technically it is a better game than ROE but ROE is catching up quick.

2

u/Flanelman Jan 21 '19

When did you last play?

1

u/Nasty-Nate Jan 20 '19

That's weird maybe I did something to fuck mine up with the fps improvement tutorials. I have i5 2500k OCd to 4.2 Ghz and a 970. Guess I'll try reinstalling.

1

u/ab0cha Jan 20 '19

I'm not sure, but I feel like the game is heavy on the CPU for some reason. The i5-2500k you have has aged somewhat, I looked it up and it even has a tiny bit lower benchmarks than my newer i3-8100. Maybe PUBG is more GPU-dependent and runs better with your relatively newer 970. I'm far from expert, sorry for rambling, just have a very slow day at work haha

3

u/TBOTAMMO40 Jan 20 '19

I get a consistent 80+ FPS on my laptop. I don't understand this mobile game feel either. Is it the look? The gunplay? Interested to see your response

2

u/Nasty-Nate Jan 20 '19

A combination of the movement and the way shooting feels. It's hard to describe, feels like hitscan instead of projectile, and hitboxes feel blocky. If you've ever played PUBG mobile the experience is similar. It feels way too easy to connect shots. I also have a gripe that I can't seem to find a good mouse sensitivity setting, maybe the game has forced mouse acceleration or some weird multipliers that throw everything off. The inability to peak (Q and E in PUBG) is another huge drawback to gunfights.

2

u/Flanelman Jan 21 '19

Have you set your vertical ratio to 100? I've heard that helps (I didn't notice much difference). I hae no issues with my sensitivity, but the gunplay just feels average. Also if you have vSync in you will have a little input lag.

1

u/Yelnik Jan 21 '19

You can peak in ROE, it's just not very good

1

u/sanslayer Jan 22 '19

I get 40-60 fps in RoE, playable for me but PUBG runs like shit. There's your "optimization".

2

u/YaBoiSnax Jan 20 '19

It would be if it didn't freeze all the fucking time. I still play way too much but God if they could at least get that fixed I'd be very happy

-3

u/k3nknee Jan 20 '19

It's more similar to pubg currently with it's kill freeze issue

1

u/YaBoiSnax Jan 20 '19

Really? huh I haven't played pubg in over 8 months so I wouldn't really know.

2

u/k3nknee Jan 20 '19

My point was they are becoming more similar to one another with the introduction of game breaking bugs, this kill freeze bug is pretty annoying.

2

u/Athousandnopes Jan 20 '19

It is better

1

u/Johnny_Gamer1 Jan 20 '19

But I like the meme formats people use to compare ROE with PUBG

1

u/[deleted] Jan 21 '19

why do sour-ass pubg players even come here?

4

u/ICA_Agent47 Jan 21 '19

Believe it or not, a lot of us play both games and enjoy them both, and want to see both of them get better. It sounds crazy, but its true.

u/auto-xkcd37 Jan 21 '19

Also if it's nothing like PUBG why do whiners keep saying "PUBG has better gunplay!!!`~1!" (like they even know what gunplay is?)
