It's great for a free game though, but that's it.
But your obsession makes no sense to me

Agreed. I'm more a Team Fortress person myself.

This guy bothers me, he talks over the people he's just asked a question of instead of listening and can be very disrespectful.

I think its shit but as a gamer im glad its there. The more options for games the better, especially in the current industry of copy paste

meganical
I’m not changing your mind. The game is hard enough as it is with the large amount of players. Stay out of my winning
kreativ91
just think of all the mobile trash
harlePositivityMaker
Never played it..never will. Just doesn't interest me.
HappyCakeDay
Yea I watched my friends play and it looks stupid as hell. Just my opinion though so who cares
redbikemaster
You should care. It's your opinion. Listen to it.
SandyAnakin
Building. No other FPS/Battle Royale game has the dynamic map-feel that Fortnite offers. That, and the art design is attractive.
xSaphSIF
There’s just a lot of bandwagon hate on the game. Personally I think the game is a lot of fun, but 1/2
xSaphSIF
Getting labeled retarded or something every time I say that is always nice
PayItForward2020
It's not. The reason it's so popular is it did everything pubg did wrong right and the fact that it's free. Plus constant updates and ne 1/2
PayItForward2020
w game modes constantly. Like it or not, epic cares about this game much more than the pubg devs seen to care about theirs and it shows. 2/2
SuperSelfie
Ya that ^^
Noob3rts
It's not that Fortnite is a good game, it is that the other options are subpar cashgrabbing pieces of shit with zero replayability.
SirSage
I mean you're comparing battle royale games. All you do is replay them. So what makes fortnite any more/less replayable than pubg, RoS, H1Z1
AbominableToaster
Ring of Elysium?
ZackCC
Last time I checked, there are thousands of games out there
Honeybadger2198
You and me both. Just recognize that we are in the minority.
AllThatJazzzzz
The fanbase is kids having fun, therefore us Old Folks are legally required to hate it
SpeedyHamster
For me, it one of those games that walking in I'm not that good compared to others, and at this point I dont care to git gud.
mymanmaverick
I just need 4 more wins by the time that Blackout comes out to get my 1k. Then i can be done with it forever.
MerlintheRogue
I played PUBG and had fun screwing around with my friends but at the end of the day it would take too much time for me to be good at it.
callingalljanmichaelvincents
thebob72
I’ve never played, but it looks fun
Blud4BludGod
It is. It's also stupid hard at first because the building mechanic is pretty nuanced and difficult (think like... learning to fly in...
Blud4BludGod
...Rocket League, if you've played that one). I think a lot of people rage quit it before getting past the learning curve.
MechaNinja
I only play Save the World, not BR. I like the building + killing zombies, though it isn't perfect. I haven't found a better game for that.
GreenNotTheColor
Use to like it before br became a thing then you had beggars & AFK'ers in every game. "anybody have *super rare item* im to lazy to farm"
MechaNinja
Yeah, I definitely ignore the shit out of those people.
GreenNotTheColor
I couldn't. I hated having to solo 99.05% of the missions cause the other 3 would be begging/trading/afk instead of doing the objective..
MechaNinja
As far as I can tell, I've had better luck than most people. I've been so annoyed I've dropped out of missions just a couple times.
MechaNinja
I do like to trap tunnel like it's my job, so if no one else participates, it doesn't matter as much.
SandwichRGood
Me too. Usually if it's a kid or trader I mute them and continue the mission. 80% of the time they help with the obj. when it starts
PrivateNoodles
It’s cool that people enjoy it but fuck can it stop recommending me that shit on YouTube, I don’t even like the you tubers that play it.
BecomeAnAstronaut
I actually play and enjoy the game, and I still can't stand the youtubers/streamers
numbers186
I enjoy the PvE part of fortnite but could not careless about the battle royal bullshit.
EetWontFlush
Eh it’s not great but it’s free. I don’t care for it but I don’t go out of my way to bitch about it, I didn’t spend a penny on it.
ZackCC
Just because it's free doesnt mean it's automatically good or not bad
EetWontFlush
I’m just saying it’s a lot of bitching for something that’s free. If I gave you something and you didn’t like it or have to use it but 1/2
EetWontFlush
still bitched about it for a year, I’d kick you in the dick
ZackCC
Just because you gave me something doesnt mean I have to like it. It can still have flaws and I can point them out.
TheMasterOfTheMechanicalStuff
have a go at crossout
modman23
I work with foster care youth and they love it. An FPS game that they can actually afford is a huge rarity for most of their families.
EetWontFlush
And that isn’t over the top bloody and gory so they can actually play it

The best part is it diverts the insuffeiciently supervised screeching children away from the already overloaded servers for other games.
mop82
And it runs on lower end hardware.
iCurse
People seem to forget it's the one decent quality FREE battle royale game that all the cool streamers play
GingerLaird
Half of it is free. The other half is a co-op tower defense game where you build your tower and fight against the invading zombie horde.
Vencakes
I got the season one pass back when me and all my friends played it. Worth it for the amount of time I played, haven’t touched FN 1/2
Vencakes
Haven’t touched fortnite since beginning of season 2 2/2
archercartridge
season 1 didnt have a battle pass, s2 was the first
Vencakes
Oh yeah
iliketoanswerwithreactions
Plus you don't need in game purchases to get an advantage on other players like a lot of other f2p games
tremaursen
Fortnite is kinda scummy with it's daily items, but it's leagues ahead of full priced games with loot boxes. That said, it boggles the mind
tremaursen
that the lootboxes are crammed into the co-op mode.
GodTurkey
Its like 20 dollars for a pickaxe, shit is a rip off
CuriousMeatball
No you don’t. Everything’s cosmetic.
ILoveMeAGoodTime
Wh.. why did you get downvoted? Like there is no reason whatsoever that you should have
RatKingCerf
Comment sounded like a disagreement in tone, which confused people as it actually agreed with the original, so they downvoted
EvilKam
Technically, Fortnite is not free yet, only the Battle Royale portion is free.
ej255
You are technically correct witch is the best kind of correct.
ISaidSarcastically
No one is referring to that shit when they say fortnite
ThySausagePrince
So... The game is free to play.
GoblinOfPoliticalSuccubus
Ok, only the format people play is free, gotcha.
VorpalDaiquiri
That game should've gone free by now, but with the massive success of BR idk if it ever will. Not worth spending money on to play...

I found it a fun free game when it was first released, even with all the changes it got old fast.
Dohdee
You can play with your friends on any console or pc and it’s free. That alone makes it better than most games out there which is why 1/2
ZackCC
Free doesnt mean it doesnt cost anything. It costs time.
Dohdee
everyone is playing it. I don’t play it myself, but from a marketing stand point they have done what little to no other company has done 2/2
Derimas
You could remake a Barbie horse adventures game to be free and x-platform, but that doesn't make it a good game. Accessibility=/=quality.
Dohdee
You could make it any game, what? No other game has done that still though. Also, on Imgur the audience ranges from anywhere from 18-60
Dohdee
Of course everyone’s going to say it sucks on here cause you’re not the target audience. The quality of the game is fine anyway
Dohdee
You people on here don’t even state why it’s bad. It’s made really well and there’s no cheaters. Tell me why it’s “not a good game”
Derimas
I'm not defending/bashing the game. Just pointing out that ease of access is not equivalent to a game's quality. Which was your 1st point.
CommanderCaribou
Nah but its accessible and has cross platform for all the day long. It's free and kids love it.
OshyuOshyu18
Save the world is pretty fun.
Unanything
PsTymier
Fortnite is simple, charismatic, multiplayer, a shooter, free, responsive, and very accessible. Devs listen to players. Like PoE & warframe
PsTymier
Fortnite is also one of the first ever free games that PC and IP bans. If you ever cheat, you need an entire new system.
BecomeAnAstronaut
Good
Binsto
lol,or you could just spoof your mac adress,and use a vpn,these sound cool , but are just peace of mind measures,they don't work al that wel
MLeague
Yeah its pretty ass but I play it because it's one of the very few games supporting cross platform parties.
1543211
You wear women’s clothes?
AsABiologistWhoIsNotFunAtParties
Yep, doesn't appeal to me but I've considered trying it just as something to do with cross-platform friends i've made from FFXIV.
CaptainRuse
I don’t care about it’s annoying fanbase, meh-at-best-gameplay, and cringey moments. I care that game developer had a nice artstyle 1/rant
natsumiru
Art style was taken straight from Wildstar zo nothing special aswell
CascadianTwilight
I can respect that
SlothOfDanger
Me and my friends have had hours of great gameplay and fun moments, and it was free, what more can I ask from a game
Anonyfurb
The real problem is that they killed Paragon for this shit.
ChibiYui
The artstyle is one of the main detriments, it contributes even more to it's "children's game" vibe, to me at least.
TossABabyYodaToYourWitcher
Nothing wrong with nice, simple graphics that can easily be played on most PC builds
ChibiYui
It's not the complexity, it's the style. The over the top goofy vibe it all has.
numbonvalium
I was a bit pumped for the original concept when they had the first trailer. Looked like an FPS and TD combined, like Kill All Orcs-ish.
trollprozac
10 year old boys doing that weird dance lol
INJECTHEROININTODICKANDDIE
I haven't played FN, but only 2 games EVER got my heart going real hard. PUBG, @ 2-5 people left is one, the other is a bit older: (1)
INJECTHEROININTODICKANDDIE
: Splinter Cell Chaos Theory, ranked SvM mode. Bitch require immaculate attention to detail, situational awareness, and strategy. Even (2)
INJECTHEROININTODICKANDDIE
Though I haven't played FN, based on what I've seen/ heard, it's just as you describe: a sacrificial cash grab at the expense of everything
INJECTHEROININTODICKANDDIE
Bonus: #3 (heartbeat wise) is Ghost Recon Phantoms. Good game with shitty pay to win, but when you're shooting for top 10 in the world (?/?)
INJECTHEROININTODICKANDDIE
I'll be damned if you don't get a bloody nose and tingly fingers. That game was great for how shitty it was.
INJECTHEROININTODICKANDDIE
Lol both* Not bitch
CaptainRuse
Zombie game that looked incredibly promising but because PUBG was doing good and they didn’t want to be bothered with the beta’s 2/rant
ServantOfTheGodEmperorOfUsersub
The launch was a disaster and even as they fixed issues damage was already done.
CaptainRuse
critiques, they threw their entire concept on the back burner (if not into the garbage completely) and appeal to the flavor of the month.
tremaursen
It probably means a better product in the end. Save the World was a dumpster fire at launch, and would probably not have been enough of a
tremaursen
hit to keep support going. It's on an I.V drip thanks to Battle Royal, but at least it's not death
MadFistWilly
I actually play the pve; I enjoy it a lot.
Shaigair
Ye i was super stoked when i saw it years ago in game informer. But battle royale is too big a cash cow to let go, which is understandable.
YourDownvotesSustainMe
Sad but true, unfortunately.
JamareeMedford
To be fair, if someone told you you could make billions of dollars by following a trend, I think you would, I know I would.
iPickedScout
Well they were chasing the flavor of the month before they turned it into a battle royale anyway. Zombie survivals were the big thing before
greendogblue
But it was a very different kind of zombie survival, and was quite fun.
DigiRust
Yep. I played the hell out of the game before Battle Royal came along. Pretty much ruined it
Anamethatwasntused
Also literally throwing Paragon in the trash. Fuck Epic.
IVIornin
lets not forget abandoned work on the next Unreal Tourney as well. Fortnite is making over a million a day PER PLATFORM. its crazy
MoepsDump
Well UT always was more of an engine test than an actual game. And UT4 is "playable" I guess...
YourWaifuIsTrash
Paragon was a ton of fun, I didn't play it enough to gauge how well it'd stand up as a competitive game, but it was different and enjoyable.
ChefMIKErowave
didn't they literally refund people who spent money on the game? I wouldn't say that's much of a "fuck epic" situation
Arnoxthe1
I get that they should have fixed it, but let's not pretend Paragon wasn't trash at the time.
CoryBingo54
I honestly thought Paragon was trash. Also had the unfortunate timing of being released around OW's hype which DEFINITELY took away from 1
CoryBingo54
potential players.
Arnoxthe1
The new Unreal Tourney is a victim of Fortnite that's not talked about really. They said they were gonna come back to it but they left...
Arnoxthe1
it in the dust.
jemem
Rhis
laladoria
THIS. I bought one of their packages during the beta and was loving the game. Now most of my friends don't even know it was ever not PUBG.
Noob3rts
(1) I was psyched too, but it is not just that. The game they created was failing, hard because nobody was interested in a zombie survival
mop82
Looked more like a tower defense game than a zombie survival. More Sanctum than DayZ. The enemies just happen to be zombies.
CoryBingo54
That's what it was yeah, base building TD/FPS. Wave based survival. Can't wait til fortnite is out of Early Access (lol) so I can play it.
Noob3rts
(2) game, and so they quickly scrapped it and made Fortnite to compete in the growing market. It was smart, but the game still blows imo.
MasterPrime
It really wasn't that good of a horde survival. It was fun for a little bit and then it gets kind of stale.
Sumpte
I was interested in the game, but not interested in paying for beta access to a F2P game. That was / is their mistake, in my opinion.
JRHollywood
They didn't scrap it though, it's still being worked on and there's still lots of updates. It doesn't have the same resources though
Mahanos
Thank you... I remember when that was supposed to be the "Very First Unreal Engine 4 Game" years ago. Seeing their 180° was surreal.
Superkroot
Not surprising though. PUBG was raking in cash, and the developers are frankly in over their heads, leaving room for Epic to step in.
Arnoxthe1
Fuck off, Epic. You used to debut the next UE with every Unreal game.
DiabloGrandeArts
Same. I was looking forward to the base-building zombie survival. Don't really care for battle royale.
Lordvolt
I don't get the pay to have skin idea...like a skin gives you nothing at all.
AdmiralSalt
Exactly that, it's cosmetic. You don't see stores selling the same exact shirt.
kzeon7
Not true; you do get to see Thanos dab, and if that’s not something I don’t know what is
stratojet96
I think in some cases its like patreon since its in a free(ish) game. Gotta squeeze some honey out of it, ya know.
bamblebimble
Csgo?
SuperSelfie
Gamma doppler, souvenir dragon lore, etc... people think $20 for a fortnite skin is outlandish hah
SuperSelfie
Its a great way to support the developers of a free game. Why do people pay extra for a shirt with a certain design versus a plain shirt?
Nize426
Dude. We complain about pay to win, and now we're complaining that paying gives you no advantage? Jesus Christ.
Vockstar
SirSage
NO! I WANT TO BE ABLE TO BUY TALENT AND SKILL! We say this to a friend who likes to throw his wallet at things to get good. Always funny.
SnackMasterRanger
The game is free so spending 10 dollars for me to get achievements and unlock skins isn't bad in my opinion. I also play it a lot though.
AsABiologistWhoIsNotFunAtParties
Hundreds of games have had enormous financial success by offering such cosmetic customization, often allowing the game itself to be free.
Lordvolt
It's a smart business model that's working that's for sure, but I for one can't see why people are so silly
AsABiologistWhoIsNotFunAtParties
(1)Well online games are a social environment and people want to feel unique and express themselves through their look, so in a way i don't
AsABiologistWhoIsNotFunAtParties
(2/2) see how it's that much different than people spending extra money on clothes/accessories/cosmetics IRL for looks over function.
PandaDander
Some people really care about skins, so it's a nice easy way to let the whales pay what they want and everyone else gets in for free.
NotASwordButADickinDisguise
I don't understand why people have such a hate boner for the game. I don't like it either, but it doesn't bother me with it's mere existence
deafmute
Same though I'm disappointed that it caused the next unreal tournament to be placed on I definite hold.
gibberishDude
YEH FUCK FIDGET SPINNERS MAN! (internet just needs something to agree, this is the new thing)
natus
It's not the game, it's the fanbase.
BigAZNMan
Because it's popular. I have no complaints about it. They update it so often, it runs smoothly and it's free. Don't like it? Don't play it.
CripplingDepresssion
It’s annoying as hell if you have friends who have an obsession boner with it and constantly shares fortnite news even tho I don’t care.
Arnoxthe1
It just... Reeks of F2P microtransactions and boring grindy RPG-lite gameplay.
PresidentJohnFKennedy
I don’t hate the game. I hate the people that play the game and laugh at other people for buying $60 video games and then 1/2
PresidentJohnFKennedy
That same person spend $150 on skins 2//
FullCrimsonic
Because its a shooter that lets you pull a fucking house out of your ass to avoid certain death and rewards people for being obnoxious
Locodonut
I liked it at first until they introduced luck based shooting, and that kinda ruined it for me
JDTHOMPSON21
Become a middle school teacher and you will. Kids can't turn in school work but are content playing Fortnite till 2am on school nights.

You don't understand kids. I didn't turn in school work because I was playing Pokemon until 2am. Doesn't matter what the game is.

Exactly. No one wants to fucking do work. Most homework is busy work anyway which people can stand even less.
Kittynomnoms
Almost like middle school students would rather do basically anything else but spend more time on homework after being at school all day.

Yeah because homework is so much fun.

dieinagoddamnfire
It's at the top, so half of all gaming news is about what minor tiny change that Fortnight or PUB do so that review sites get clicks.
BigAZNMan
Pubg updates? Lmao it runs like shit and, as far as I can tell, it's barely beta quality.
JustABitCrzy
My experience is that it runs fine now days, but the devs take everything good and remove it, attempting to emulate fortnite
JHawke
Use a better way to aggregate your news, install a rss client and just... filter out fortnite. No reason to complain about anything.
everettscott
I should have read your comment before I posted mine. A new grenade? FUCK YEAH FULL PAGE ARTICLE PLEASE!
dieinagoddamnfire
I mean, I get it. Sites need clicks, redditers need upvotes, streamers need viewers, and old fogies like me need their complaint topic.
everettscott
Its true, I totally get it. There's just got to be a line somewhere, I'd hope.

But I saw an article for the new Sabrina the teenage witch show on a game site under 'gamer culture', no it's not! Stop that!

MerlintheRogue
I prefer PUBG over Fortnite, but with the rampant cheating, constant bugs, glitches, and server issues it is not the superior product.
BobHubert
They have gotten better as time goes on, the cheating especially
Corridoor

When I stopped playing a month ago, outright cheating (i.e. aimbots) weren't as common. But recoil / gun speed macros were rampant.
TerryFoldFlaps
What cheating is there? Just so I know what to look for
freegallegal
Yes! Just the running and the killing for me. Why do I need to be a licensed architect also?
AsABiologistWhoIsNotFunAtParties
Yeah the building in fortnite is just silly. Actual base building belongs in a slower-paced game like Rust or DayZ.
archercartridge
you dont, look at shroud, hes a trash builder and even he says fn is better, harder, more action packed
freegallegal
If only I was talented as shroud haha
archercartridge
FN is hard because it's considerably more hectic than PUBG, while being buggy is still pretty calm, FN is a non stop fuck fest
