Fortnite Megathread V1 - "Oh yeah that game, what's up with it?"

[HeyKyle]

Not to mention that it's also developed by Epic, using their own engine.

[QUOTE=69105;52748408]fortnite's BR mode does BR better than PUBG does. PUBG enforces really, really shitty playstyles and the pacing is all over the place while fortnite is extremely consistent. in PUBG you have to play really defensively which more often than not doesn't play well in your favor at all due to (let's admit it) awful netcoding and the armor system is an absolute joke. you know it is. in PUBG, rounds can last FOREVER and what's the point if playing an extremely long and unrewarding game if you are going to die to someone that you never had a chance against in the first place. you've got a pubg where a game can last almost an hour and you've got fortnight where a game is over and done in fifteen minutes or less. the aggressive compression of the map is SO much better

also not having to worry about changing gear constantly is a huge improvement. i think PUBG is full of false achievement, primarily in finding/upgrading better armor and gear. you spend more time playing barbie doll simulator in the inventory screen than you do actually playing the game[/QUOTE]

A lot of this is just outright false, I'm all for competition in this genre and PUBG has issues for sure, but I feel like you're just frustrated with it and don't have a lot playtime.

-Games absolutely do not last almost a hour, they last 35 minutes at the absolute most, 30 minutes is the average.
-There are literally only 3 tiers of armor, and if you're playing smart you aren't looting bodies after the first 10-15 minutes of the game anyways. If you're spending so much time playing barbie doll simulator you need to change your playstyle.

That being said fortnite is a nice break for a round or two from PUBG, but it doesn't scratch the itch for me.

[QUOTE=DaBeaver;52748867]In my experience, Fortnite's BR is a much more casual and light-hearted experience. You can get into a match with your mates, lose and everyone just goes "Eh, no biggie". Also performance-wise, Fortnite is LEAGUES ahead of PUBG, although it might be because of smaller and less detailed map.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, I think the biggest thing it has going for it is that it feels way less frustrating. Everything's goofy and cartoony enough looking that it's not as bad as getting shot in something that feels like ARMA.

It is free now. I'll tell you what, good decision. Makes it much more competitive with PUBG.

I like FBR, even though I also play PUBG. The differences between PUBG and FBR might seem pretty minor at first, but the building mechanic, destructible houses and the much smaller map do make it feel like a different game.

I should try out the zombie mode too, though I probably won't like that one

Second win clips. First win isn't worth mentioning, guy died in the zone.

Basically every firefight we had up until the win.

You know if you bought the game on console, do you also get the pc version aswell, cause I bought the game on PS4 a while back and just recently got a new graphics card and I just logged in and I can play the zombie mode too, with all my unlocks from the ps4?

Also I'm terrible at the BR mode, land, die, retry, land, die repeat lol, so that's another BR game i'm not gonna touch cause i'm terrible

Does anyone want to get some 4-man squads going? I'm really enjoying the current patches

what does it take for a victory royale

ive been trying for weeks the closest ive gotten is 2nd place, no idea how i got that far

[Ricenchicken]

man if I knew Fortnite was going to add a BR mode I wouldn't have wasted most of the v-bucks they gave me for being an alpha tester on PvE stuff

[miles]

I'm sooo tempted to get the battle pass tbh.

Also if there are any EU players looking for someone to play with dont hesitate to toss me a friend request on steam.

I went ahead and got it, though I got the last few v-bucks I needed from questing in the PvE side of the game.

Really looking forward to getting the worm taunt

[RocketRacer]

hi dead thread. I played CBT of PvE when it just released and liked the PvE so I bought Founder's Pack and I've got to say I don't regret it. What I didn't expect is how hard it is to find people to play with from a reliable source that isn't filled with kids like subreddit Discord.

[HeyKyle]

Been playing this game for real all week, farthest I’ve gotten was second in solo then I got blown up by a dude with 47632144 grenade launcher rounds

[GoogleyGareth]

Do weapons have ammo caps? I feel like they should.
