Hello Everyone!
I know Fortnite is a very controversial game. Mostly due to it's overwhelming popularity. But I don't think these forums will be toxic like the others are about it or fight. All in and all everyone has tastes and we can appreciate the negatives or positives people have about it.
I just wanted to ask everyone's opinion of it. Good or bad. And see if anyone would like to play with me or play it in general in their free time. Has anyone considered it? Is it not for you?
My fortnite exposure and opinions were limited up until New Years. I of course knew it was a mega phenomenon but I had tried it two or 3 times and hated it. It just seemed so hard. I didn't get it. Having to outlast 100 people who were clearly way better than me didn't seem fun. I'd say that was where most of my negative thoughts of it were coming from. Just not knowing what I was doing and having experience players whoop me before I even land. So I wrote off royale games and didn't play it for a year or two.
But then my Nephew who is 8 came over and wanted to play fortnite with me. So I made an account and played CO-OP on two seperate TVs. Then by the time he left. I was so hooked on it I can't stop playing it. It's just utterly brilliant!
The nature of the loot boxes, is fun. You drop into a world where it's just you or a few other teamates. And you just adventure. no main goal, objective or anything other than to survive. And be the last person around. You build forts. you loot weapons. mine for materials. and get ready as teams. while avoiding a storm. The point of the storm being to shrink until all players come closer to eventually declare a winner.
Thiers nothing quite more exillerating than hearing the footsteps of the enemy walking up the stairs while you are opening a loot crate. Drawing your epic shotgun and hoping you can eliminate him fast.
I have currently gotten 2 #1 Royales against non bot players. One in solos and one in squads.
It's a really fun game. and best of all it's free. it's not pay to play like I thought it was. you can pay for skins and neat stuff. but in reality. none of it matters.
Thanks for sharing.
The game is amazing! I'm so happy I gave it a 4th chance. I think a lot of it is needing someone to show you how to play. Kinda how I was with minecraft. I didn't get it for so long until I got it. once I got it. It was like being reborn into a new found fun.
