I started playing this late—which is when all the tryhards pop up, so I didn't enjoy Last Resort as much as I wanted to. I don't like the heists and the quests still suck. I guess the thing I liked most about this season was the loot pool, but there weren't many stand out weapons for me outside of the drum gun, stake shotgun, and katana. I don't care for this season too much but it's way better than the last one. With the bad things I've heard about the upcoming nostalgia bait season, I don't think I'll look forward to it. Cherish these last few days while you can.

The loot pool is better and the swamp area being somewhat shrunken down (or at least less focused on) help make the core game itself more fun to actually play this season, but everything else surrounding it still remains really eh compared to the previous seasons. The battle pass still wasn't good enough to warrant spending for, alongside the seasonal quests being formatted in a really strange way that hinders doing multiple tasks in one match if you could survive doing so. I don't understand this generation of shooters having an obsession with this godawful Hulu ass UI design because the lobby didn't need changing to this massive scrolling list that actively hides the core gamemodes (what the hell, Epic?), the already mentioned quest and map menus should have gotten changes instead.
Epic in general feels like they're struggling to both maintain a playerbase as well as making sure they keep spending money. The massive layoffs at the company that got media attention outside of the game is one thing, but you can also see it in the game itself with things like forcing in incentives for Crew subscriptions to be recurring rather than subbing for a month and immediately cancelling for one skin, a pass and some currency. Crossovers seem to be dwindling down now that other companies are seemingly less interested in Fortnite trying to be this massive "metaverse" that it kept trying to be advertised as. The UI redesign was clearly to encourage more playtime in the Creative worlds, but Roblox this ain't and I just don't get why Epic doesn't seem to understand this. Fortnite at its core is a genuinely very good third person shooter, it should keep sticking with what its good at rather than trying to be this bizarro multi-game engine that it will never be able to compete with the bigwigs on, especially when it's nowhere near as accessible as its competitors are in terms of platforms and hardware requirements.
honestly i probably spent more time on that horde rush mode they added midway through than the actual battle royale mode itself

Finished the BP for the V-bucks but honestly this had the shittest battle pass in quite a while lol, you know you fucked something up when the most notable thing on it was just Some Guy from Tiktok. Map locations were cool and heisting tools were neat for a while, but a couple new areas on an old map still feels mostly old, and it very quickly became my experience where if you were solo and weren't running turrets you were just always at a disadvantage which is a bit lame.
Cannot say I'm terribly excited for Fortnite OG. I've got like 600 hours in this game and probably 200-300 of those were in chapter 1 and I think they're trying to bring back something that just doesn't exist anymore. Those seasons worked because there just weren't that many people cracked at building so if you could build a quick 1x1 and just sit in it you were chillin, but now the skill floor to enjoy a building mode is just so much higher. AFAIK they're keeping nobuild, but I expect there to be problems with having nobuild on a map that wasn't designed for it. Been seeing a lot of the people most loudly be clamoring for Old Fortnite Back be like 17 on twitter (i.e. they were 11 when those seasons were coming out lmao) so I'm expecting their nostalgia glasses to get shattered so we can just stop pretending like this game was better before they added, like, sprinting or revives or whatever they ended up deciding to remove lol. TBH the reason Fortnite still works is because they've tried like a million things and kept only the stuff that works, reverting all that for a little while just feels odd to me.

This season was pretty good! I wasn’t a huge fan of chapter 4 but i enjoyed this season quite a bit. battle pass was kinda mid but eh it’s alr the season was fun enough to outweigh that. good loot pool and overall great vibe to the season, reminded me a lot of c2s2 which i still believe to be top 3 fortnite seasons.. fortnitemares event was finally good this time around so there’s a plus too. just ready to finally play the new season and revisit the greatest map this game has ever seen 🐐🐐
Honestamente, é uma das temporadas mais esquecíveis do jogo. A Epic simplesmente desistiu aqui, já que o próximo capítulo abandona tudo, então ninguém ligou pro que tava acontecendo além de que o vilão tinha uma máquina do tempo. O passe de batalha foi bem mediano, com a Ahsoka ali parecendo uma ideia de última hora que não combinou com nada no tema.
Did the first set of quests and...ehhhhhhhh. Not really a fan of the heists and will pretty much only be returning to the places surrounding them for quests. I don't like fighting NPCs in these games, 99 opponents is enough, thanks. It's still fun enough and the new weapons are decent even if they don't add much to the overall feel like last seasons broken shit. Battle pass is fun with some decent cosmetics. Honestly just looking forward to the update that gets rid of/shrinks the shitty forest area. Also you're losing a point for reminding me Ice Spice is a thing. Fuck you.
P.S between the manga's final saga going strong, the introduction of Gear 5 in the anime, and the well received live action series, this is the season we get a One Piece collab, right? RIGHT?

I will defend this season with my life. Aside from Khaby and Ashoka (I got tired of collabs in the game long ago...) the Battle Pass characters are great and the quests to assemble the Heist crew are so goofy and enjoyable. Heisting the vaults is super fun and has some banger music to go along with it. Wood Stake shotgun is super fun, and the Rocket Ram is no contest the best mobility item ever added to Fortnite and I'm SO mad that it got removed immediately after the season ended.
I'm honestly surprised people really hate the jungle biome, but I'm playing zero build so maybe that makes a difference. Either way, the only thing I outright disliked about this season was Horde Rush feeling kind of boring.
