Apex Legends and PUBG are among the most well-known battle royale titles, although the two could hardly be any more different in nearly all facets of their gameplay. While Apex is certainly the more popular game now, PUBG has been around for much longer and somehow survived despite the emergence of several huge BRs, something H1Z1 can\u2019t claim. Shroud, who has played both games for a long time and at a high level, was asked which one he\u2019d go with if he had to pick one\u201dfor the rest of his life.\u201d Read More: Apex Legends Season 4 update patch notes &#8211; His answer was PUBG, which may surprise a lot of people since the game\u2019s clearly lower on the totem pole and the Mixer star doesn\u2019t even play it nearly as much as he used to. \u201cProbably PUBG,\u201d he said. \u201cPUBG has a way more rewarding and satisfying feeling than this game [Apex Legends].\u201d Why shroud would choose PUBG over Apex Legends It\u2019s clear that shroud enjoys the good feeling he gets from playing well in PUBG much more than in Apex Legends, as well as the fact that you can play solo in Battlegrounds, a feature still not available in Respawn\u2019s battle royale. \u201cIn this game [Apex Legends], you don\u2019t really appreciate anything that just happened,\u201d he explained. \u201cIt\u2019s really hard to put a number on it too because there are no solos in this game right? In PUBG you can play by yourself and that alone is pretty cool.\u201d \u201cPUBG absolutely gives you a much better feeling of happiness hitting a banger or whatever it may be. Bangers are nice.\u201d (Segment begins at 2:53 mark for mobile users) After making an impressive play in Apex Legends, shroud pointed out how the result was satisfying but lamented the fact that it simply doesn\u2019t happen enough, or at least as much as it does in PUBG. \u201cThat was satisfying, but you don\u2019t get a lot, that doesn\u2019t happen that much,\u201d he said. \u201cThat\u2019s what you want in a game, you want that as much as possible, and PUBG has that very, very well because you can have a Kar-98 and that whole game gives you a chance to have that same feeling, of like \u2018holy f**k, I hit a banger.&#8217;\u201d \u201cBut in this game, a banger doesn\u2019t matter. Too many bangers in a row is what matters, and to do that is very, very challenging. It\u2019s harder for your average player to come in and get that sense of \u2018f**k yeah, that was sick!\u2019 Way harder, probably get that more in PUBG.\u201d The last point he made was about the level of competition since the skill-based matchmaking in Apex Legends can turn regular public matches into challenging affairs. \u201cIt\u2019s weird, why do they have that [SBMM], it kind of makes Ranked Play irrelevant,\u201d he commented. \u201cPUBG is way more fun than that, I\u2019ll tell you right now, way more fun than that. [\u2026] As unfortunate as it is, part of the fun of playing BRs is to sh*t on some noobs.\u201d However, shroud did also note that comparing the two games isn\u2019t as cut and dry because, again, PUBG offers a solo mode while Apex continues to only have the default trios playlist. Also, these comments came before he got to try out Season 4 on February 4, so there\u2019s a chance, albeit a small one, that some of these opinions could change once he gets to experience the new content.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shroud explains why he\u2019d rather play PUBG than Apex Legends Respawn Entertainment \/ Shroud &#8211; YouTube \/ PUBG Corp.Even with the recent launch of Apex Legends Season 4, star streamer Michael \u2018shroud\u2019 Grzesiek says he\u2019d rather play PUBG if he had to pick one or the other.
