It’s really fun, definitely the best BR game out right now imo. The building aspect adds so much to the game and it’s also what creates the biggest skill gap. I was kinda iffy on console Fortnite at first, since building was so difficult to do quickly. But once they added the “Builder Pro” layout, building became incredibly easier so now I really love it.

It has its issues, like the inconsistencies with certain weapons like the shotguns. But Epic does a great job updating the game with both patches and new skins and stuff all the time.

A lot of people hate on it too though. Some genuinely just don’t like it, which is perfectly reasonable. But some others just hate on it because it’s popular and they don’t play it. It’s a great and fun game that both hardcore and casual gamers can enjoy. Plus... IT’S FREE! That’s probably it’s biggest selling point, lol.

Also, I moved this to the “Other Games” forum @STORMS

Honestly, everyone should try Fortnite. It’s free on just about every platform, even have it on mobile. Not saying you’ll love it, but it’s the most popular game out right now. As a gamer, you should at least try this FREE game. Also, if you like it, make sure to check out some high level player streams like Tfue, Ninja, the TSM guys, etc. You will learn A LOT from watching them, and they all are entertaining even if you have no idea what’s going on.

This game seems to be all loved or all hated from my experience as someone who works in electronics, vid games, movies etc. People come in and talk about it but it's always "this game is awesome" or "this game sucks, has problems and is overrated" lol I never played it personally, but my friends tell me the same things customers do. Some love it, others hate it and tell me there's better games.

I enjoy this game a lot, mostly because it's a fun game to play with friends. The BR format really allows for some strategic gameplay and it's pretty damn cool.

But man oh man do I get frustrated with it too, I've learned the hard way that I need to play it in shorter lengths. We usually go for like 3-5 hours which is too much in general but especially for a game that needs so much focus like this.

But really, I just made this post to express my salt about how it seems like huge portion of the game comes down to "shotgun or be shotgunned". Shotguns should be strong, but with the mobility in this game and how it's in 3rd person, they feel over powered. I suppose a lot of people have no issue with that, but I just wish they were slightly tuned down in some way, especially the Tactical Shotgun with how fast it shoots. I also play almost exclusively duos, so that might affect my opinion here.

But yeah, this is easily one of the best free to play games ever made.

That's me all of the time. I'm happy when I find really good loot like the legendary SCAR. I'm also happy if I get like 2 eliminations.

Like I said, I'm pretty terrible at it but it is fun. Sometimes I like to be a spectator and watch how others play and take mental notes. Although, if I'm kinda pissed about losing, I go back to the lobby right away. Sometimes right when someone takes you out and they see they have a spectator, they'll dance, LOL.

Anyway, I need to watch this game so I can see what all the hype is about.

If you play on console, you 1000% need to switch to the Builder Pro layout. It will take awhile to get used to, but it will improve your building 10 fold. And building is probably the most important aspect of this game. Obviously there’s a bunch of other factors, but building is the most important for sure. On console, every other button layout you have to scroll through your mats (building material) then place the piece, then scroll again if you want a different piece. On Builder Pro, each piece (stairs, wall, floor, etc) are mapped to your shoulder buttons. This is huge for building and why it’s so much easier to build on a M&K.

You can have the best aim on the planet, but if you don’t build or aren’t good at it, you will be at a huge disadvantage in nearly every scenario. The only time/places where it’s not a huge factor is early game, specifically early game in places like Tilted Towers. Because most people early game aren’t gonna have much if any materials to build with, unless they get lucky and find a Llama early.

This game is amazing and you improve every time you play. But definitely watch the pro/top players and essentially just copy what they do. You’ll improve even faster.

These weird random nerfs to resources and to Llamas is concerning. They are catering to the casual bots super hard. I’m not sure why. It’s not like they’re struggling to make money, and the bots usually don’t spend money on the game anyway. The dedicated player is who spends the money, so would it not make more sense to cater to them?

Glad the jetpack is being removed. It was kinda fun but if you had one it took away the risk of building up super high. I also saw a major increase in sky bases. Not to mention turbo bulding a 1 by 1 sky high in like 2 seconds, lol.

Nerfing shotguns was a smart decision
Not really. They are still making decisions catering to the bots. Build shotty meta favors the good players, hell, building in general favors the good players. They are trying to nerf building, you know, pretty much the only thing that sets Fortnite apart from the other BR games. Building is also the skill gap in this game. They also need to get rid of bloom but I doubt that’ll happen. Bloom is fucking (r 3 t a r d ed). Hey, let’s make your shot be based on rng no matter how good of a shot you are, yay randomness.

Anyway, game is still great. I just hope they stop catering to the casuals. And still super glad they added Builder Pro to consoles, honestly probably wouldn’t even be still playing if they hadn’t. Builder Pro was a godsend, whoever made that decision needa a raise.

I find it's better to use the first shot accuracy as almost a laser and trigger finger every gun I use. Way more consistent then relying on bloom.
