Isle be seeing you.
I can still remember my first game ofPUBG.
Well, kind of.
But I can remember that starter island - where everyone spawns while the game is gathering players.
I remember just being really confused by it.
Were we off and playing?
Did I need to be doing something?
There were weapons scattered around - should I be using them?
There were people everywhere.
Should I be hiding?
I am familiar with the starting island now - in fact I love it.
And the starting island has its own particular joys.
Lots of just running around.
Of course there wouldn’t be.
No need for a starting island.
Yet I kind of miss it.
Inkopolis Square is its own fascination, clearly.
They’re now a part of the game I look forward to.
A moment of energetic cheer before the serious stuff begins.
A chance to press all the buttons on the controller and get ready to battle.
Actually, I suspect that last part was obvious.
They used to run around during those opening minutes, frantically attacking buses.
This is why they feel like such a vital addition to games.
