Wtf even is Fortnite at this point? I've played it a couple times here and there but every time I hear news I just get more confused. I'm honestly surprised it still has the massive amount of players that it has. I haven't heard any kids even talk about it lately and basically nobody my age plays it anymore.
It's corporate IP vomit
Reminds me of that Space Jam movie where all it did was shove pop culture references in every scene in the most shallow way possible.
I can't find the meme but it was calling it a blender where you just go, "Oh look Scooby. Oh look Droogs. Oh look Steven Universe."
Yeah, it's literally just shoving beloved characters in people's faces so they go like "Oh look, it's Rick from Rick and Morty"
They want it to be an everything game, with all the tie-ins, so that it continues to make them boatloads of money forever.
I watched a friend's teenage son play a couple of times. They don't seem to play battle royale or any kind of competitive mode anymore, they just chat and dick around in what seems to be seasonal levels. Reminds me of my WoW days where I logged in to do my dailies more for the social engagement than the actual gameplay.
One of the only games that runs on almost every platform with cross play and in-game voicechat.
I play it with my coworkers sometimes because it's the only game where we can play with phone, pc, xbox one, ps4, ps5, and switch in a single party without any issues
Except the one platform that actually matters, Linux. My girlfriend got me into this game and it's the only game I have to keep a Windows installation around for. It doesn't run on the Steam Deck, so it's the only multiplayer game I play where I would even contemplate having to play it on Switch. I hate Epic Games.
Kids play it
Everyone in class can play it, it's on all platforms and cross play.
A sandbox game, you can do whatever you want with it
As an amateur there is Creative mode where you can place different objects/enemies/spawns
As a more advanced user there is UEFN where you use an sdk (Unreal Editor for FortNite)
