Current Events > Battle royale was a mistake.

(+) Yeah! (+)

I can routinely get into the top 10 in Fortnite/PUBG so it's not madcausebad in effect either.

The beginning of each match is the most exciting part. Then you spend most of the match collecting resources for the late game, where anyone with a sniper rifle or rocket launcher will win anyway.

It's also real boring to watch compared to other games, just lots of fucking commentary while the character is running in big open spaces, fucking yawn

I hope this trend goes the way of 3D TVS and Pokemon Go in about a year

I was hanging out at a friends house and he had me play Fortnite for some reason, and while I was playing his other friend that is like 24 got pissed off cause I wasn't talking enough.

I was like "What the fuck do you want me to say?" and he complained I wasn't telling him what I was doing.

Like...no shit dude, you're watching me play.

Is this what people are into now?

What are your concerns about it being popular? Couldn't you just not play it?

Couldn't care about the popularity, it's just a bad game mode that is being shoe horned into games at the expense of good game modes like a fricking story mode

The maps are way too big tbh. You either take the fun route and go to a busy starting spot and likely die to one of the other dozen people there, or take the safe route and go far away but it's boring as fuck. Then most of the game is moving across a large ass space.

Bingo, and the actual shooting mechanics have no real skill behind them. Point and shoot, so creative.

It doesnt help that all these games have exceedingly low health bars trying to be "realistic" and copy csgo. Tip: your game isnt csgo
Give players the ability to fight back if they got spotted first.

You can't argue with the results though. Also, tbh, Fortnite Save the World mode or whatever it is, the one you pay for, is a very fun tower defense co-op game, it's not all just the battle royale mode, although that's the only mode 99% of the people play.
