I've been fighting the urge to play it, as I know it can be very time consuming. Can you tell me what makes it any better than what came before, including H1Z1 and stuff like PlanetSide 2? Or even Fortnite BR? PUBG doesn't even feel like a polished game, it almost smells of another DayZ (you know, early access success story and then it all dies).

Am I wrong to think that everyone is just jumping on the bandwagon because it's cool to do so, or is PUBG simply a better game than the rest?
