Fell into the trap of downloading it again with the OG map coming back, i’ve been only playing zero build as i have absolutely zero interest on the normal game mode that i’ve always despised even back in 2018.

It’s actually a decent video game, i still suck lol but managed a few top 1s. This game managed to bring back my friend group to the playstation for our classic late night game sessions, something we last did during the first covid lockdown.

I still hate what this games stands for though, with all this battle pass bullshit and all the skins and everything, it’s like the movie Ready player one, it’s cool when you see your favorites characters from other video games or tv shows but other than just being there to sell more vbucks they don’t serve any purpose.

But i feel like the hype is already going down, it’s obvious that there are bots in the lobbies. And i mean it was funny at the beginning of the week when all the new players (me included) were pretty bad, but now that everyone either left the game or got good it’s less fun to drop and instantly get fucked.

So yeah, pretty good game but it will probably get deleted by the end of next week.

Couldn't agree more. It's still the og map and all but it feels different. It just doesn't feel like it supports creativity and different ways to play anymore. Ever since the beginning with each progressing season, Epic seems to be restricting it down to only playing the meta. Due to this, more professional players started cropping up. Then the fn world cup ended and Epic tried to restore their old consumer player-base and it didn't work, because more and more people wanted to become pros. They were left with a huge skill ceiling that they found too hard to confront so they just didn't. Now the sweats are angry due to the stupid additions and the players who would USE said stupid additions have quit anyway. The hype is dead already. It's kind of fun and all but still doesn't feel like it did all those years ago.

Maybe... the real fortnite was the friends we made along the way....

I'm just happy that the game suddenly became so popular that EVERYONE was talking about it. I struggle starting conversation, so having something that anybody could talk about was so nice.
