What's funny about the "Guitar Hero Knockoff" is that the company that made GH1, 2, and the entire Rock Band suite were acquired by Epic and were the main team behind the mode. It all comes full circle.
its not based off guitar hero and its not a knock off epic games acquired harmonix the company that owns rock band so its just like rock band not guitar hero so get your facts right before humiliating yourself
This is very accurate I completely quit fortnight at the end of chapter 2 and never touched it again. I held a grudge, but because of the OG season I wasn't interested but all my friends started playing again and I gave it a try. I am slowly starting to play the game more now again. There is no other company even close to doing what epic is doing with fortnite.
0:50 As a save the world player, it really isn't just cosmetic. Walls, for example, are often edited so only 2 of the squares at the bottom are selected, the husk's pathfinding would then go through the little opening in the wall allowing you to funnel the zombies at a specific place.
I love this season personally. The changes actually motivate me to play the game a lot more instead of being "OG". It's a bit much for a chapter, but I'm all for it. I detest the UI changes though, and the movement change was unnecessary. And Fortnite will very likely never die. It has been surviving for 6 years and even it's lowest point was still decent.
I wouldn’t even call the festival mode a guitar hero knockoff because it’s actually made by the company who made some of the guitar hero games and all the rock band games. Great video btw!
i truly love your videos and i can tell you put a lot of work into them; i genuinely get excited everytime i see a new upload of yours. Lots of great tips from your other vids too!
The OG Season was a brilliant move by Epic. I had only played Chapter 1 and came back for OG and Zero Build. I'm having a blast in the new Chapter and seeing my skills improve exponentially.
Since i came back in chapter 3 season 3, a new season dropping is the thing that gets me the most hyped. I think the constant change between seasons is why. It makes me eager to see whats new, and i dont think im going anywhere anytime soon.
You are definitely correct about the average pub player, I began in season OG and now have around 65 hours but I can comfortably compete in cash cups/champ lobbies. The plethora of online content and creative maps has certainly ameliorated past difficulties in attaining comparable skill to those whose time was largely devoted to gaming (ie. semi and full professionals).
A while ago I saw a video of a guy who explained why fortnite was never going to die, things like creative, free battle pass, new mechanics like swimming, fishing, no build mode and recently creative 2.0 or Unreal engine, it was all "planned" to attract new players and bring back old players, For me Fortnite has been, is and will be a great game, and my favorite of course
Fortnite is the only game where SonGoku, Giannis Antetokounmpo (NBA superstar), Eminem and Iron Man can play in a squad against Lara Croft, Travis Scott Naruto and Rick (from Rick & Morty) in practically any mode you wish. Battle Royale ? Of course. Car Race? Bet. Lego ? Yess. Horror game? If you want to. Fortnite is just a crazy game and besides all the collaborations and crazy game modes, it has also completely reshaped gaming as a whole. I remember buying the battle pass when it came out in season 2, just thinking that it is a great deal. I would’ve never imagined that this sh*t is going to me in pretty much every video game soon. And besides all of the collars I mentioned, it still has only taken up like 10% of each popular figure who got a skin. This absolute madness. People may try to talk down on Fortnite but just from the facts alone it is one of the best and most revolutionary videogames of all time.
not enough people talk about how much the collabs have done for the game. even if some people dont like them or think they dont fit in fortnite, they get people talking about the game outside the normal fortnite community about the game.
I quit fortnite sometime after ch3 since I was just not enjoying it. I didn’t care for the game, and I had been playing it since end of s2/ start of s3. I mainly didn’t like the sweating, since despite years and years of practise and plenty of time to ‘git gud’, I just never improved, and it still affects me now, since I mainly play zero build and when I play normal br I actually steer clear of editing and all that stuff. I saw the game as just ‘not fun’. Then season og came out, and I’d thought I’d return just to see what’s up, and I played all season. Every day. I loved it. It brought back a lot of memories, and sparked my interest in the game again. Now, I see it in a different light, and am happily playing through ch5 s1 hoping I’ll eventually unlock Peter griffin. Thank you for reading this essay, it’s probably confusing af but I just wanted to put my story out there bc why not.
I’m loving fortnite now. I started playing again during OG cause of the nostalgia, but stayed because the gameplay was simple again and it made it fun. With the new season/chapter, I’m actually loving it. The new movement helps cut down the skill gap with the sweats and zero build is super nice to have while I’m learning how to build better in customs with my friends who are much better than me. I also love the Lego mode, it’s nice to have to chill out, and the festival is super fun to jam out to with friends. Overall, I’m loving fortnite and it’s probably the game I play most now.
Fortnite's def had it's ups and downs but it's got such big fanbase that I feel like it'll be around for ages, espeically with all the brand new content.
I feel like this video glossed over just how big Zero Build was for this game. I started playing purely because they made it permanent. I know a lot of folks who did the same. I remember seeing content creators & players alike calling for ZB to be made a mainstay after the event. I definitely feel like *that's* when the comeback really started. Not that it ever seemed like the game was in danger, to be honest. I think it'd take a serious mishandling and a very long series of blunders & mistakes from Epic to truly make Fortnite a "dead" game.
yeah exactly. I am personally not a huge fan of ZB but literally every single friend I have associates fortnite with ZB. Just take a look at r/fortnite and 70% of the clips are ZB
Honestly, Chapter 5 was my breaking point. The updates are lackluster, the game is buggy as hell, yet the devs only give a fock about how many new collabs they can squeeze into the game. All 3 new modes are very fishy imo. LEGO is literally a collab in itself, festival and rocket racing are literally made for music and car company collabs. This game is becoming more corporate and soulless as the days go by. What used to be a ground breaking game with colorful characters, locations and gameplay is now just a huge marketing board for all companies to exploit. The UI is a good example of the soullessness. Before it used to be a very unique design, now it's just a basic copy-paste "modern" trash.
Really enjoy the game right now as a pure casual but i would like a gamemode in between zero build and normal BR cause i want the ability to build but not have someone build a massive tower something like 50 of each material if u kill someone u get a refill of mats and siphon however you dont gain mats from farming only by killing others or passively maybe 1 mat every 0.5 seconds
@@cringelocator479 yh i remember that sort of wish they put it back in think they did it to test siphon and also due to the backlash of turbo building being so op in chapter1
I also want some kind of hybrid, a Build Lite mode. My suggestions would be to harshly limit resource gathering and make building cool downs pretty lengthy. I love the concept of building and have a lot of fun in bot lobbies using buildings, but the box fights and sky towers aren't something I want to play consistently.
problem is it would be a very bad idea long term, seeing how player count would not. be high enough to sustain that many modes. right now its peaking cause of the event, lego, OG etc, but it will peter out and then having the player base be divided in between 8 modes of zero build, 8 modes of builds, 8 modes of Build lite, Party royale, Creative, Lego, Racing, LTMs, Save the world and battle labs(is that still a thing?) would mean matches would take 5 min to find a lobby half full of bots@@Aigis31
the most impactfull in this game is they added the zero build mode i never wanted to play fortnite becausehow overwhelming the build mechanic are but.. , when they added zero build, this changed my mind i'm playing this game from ch4s2 until now, and now becoming my fav game so far
Same. I played mostly in Chapter 1 when building was okay because people hadn't got so sweaty at it, yet. When I came back for OG, there was no doubt I would be playing Zero Build. Now, even watching a video of box fighting just makes my head hurt and gives me anxiety, lol. As soon as I changed my old build keybinds to something else, building was dead to me. 😂
I haven't played Fortnite since 2018, but when I saw the building, I told myself, not to even try and get into it. I saw the fights online, and it just wasn't like before. I recently discovered that there is a no build mode, so maybe I'll give that a try
What you said was all correct but the timeline is off, you said turbo build nerf was only a few hours but it was a few days and you said mechs were season 8 but they were season X. I assume its to cause people to comment but if not 👍 (Great video as usual)
I don't think people care about the skill gap as much anymore becuase of skilled matchmaking I think people are now annoyed about epic not listening to the community and not having to many unsuspected changes like the new movement.
Been back since Chromium once the movement started feeling fresh I was sucked back in just like the O.G days. I'm glad I got some of my friends to play O.G fort even though it was only for a bit.
I’ve been playing for about 5 or 4 years now. I still play it till this day. I love it. There are more modes to play on now. (Lego, music and racing) it’s really cool. Best game imo. :)
Fortnite has never been "dead", it has just lost popularity or cultural relevance at certain points. It was unrealistic to assume Fortnite could remain as popular as it once was. Epic are focusing on expanding Fortnite into this multi-experience game however this is coming at a cost to the other IP's that epic owns. For example rocket league development has slowed and in game trading was also removed due to Rocket League racing being added to Fortnite.
I think it's not that fortnite is dying bc the playerbase is too big for that to happen at the moment I think that most of the players especially those who played from the beginning are dissatisfied with most of the seasons that Fortnite is realising so they come back periodically for the season that are kinda good
I played for hundreds of hours in chapters 2 and 3. Returned for OG, and am still here for 5. 5 is missing a lot of the stuff I enjoyed in OG (there’s not a single damaging explosive weapon and fishing is pointless) but I’m having fun anyway
People say this game is dead or it’s popularity is dwindling but every time you look, there’s a bigger collab. Fortnite isn’t new anymore, it isn’t hype, it’s still doing bigger and better things, it’s just not a trend or fad anymore, so it’s not on the news or constantly being talked about.
since no one knows what cones are for im here to explain. cones are used to mess with husk AI and make them target specific places if you build a pyramid with 3 layers meaning 5x5 3x3 1x1 husks will target the 3x3 of cones making it easier to know where they are going to target and compensating for it like upgrading the walls and making better fortifications but this gets more complicated after the rushers phantoms and bombers come in (lobbers are nothing but just shoot and one tap them most of the time) and thats the beauty of knowing game mechanics in save the world (Im not saying all that has been said in this comment is factual but im talking in past experiences and uses of the cone and it worked all the time when i was defending the atlas or the data downloading missions)
I feel like Chapter 3 revived Fortnite, as I noticed many players including myself returned to the game. It has always been a big game, and if im not wrong there was more people playing during Chapter 4 than during Season 1 and 2
chapter 3 season 1 brought alot of the people who stopped in chapter 2 back, as it was an amazing season and map, and season 2 brought loads of new players who disliked building
Ive played fortnite since season 4 with only taking breaks for a total of 6 months, the biggest issue i have had is not the game, but ping, i ran 30-1100 ping for almost 2 years, consistent 30 for 2 years, and now my ping has been consistent zero, but in competitive it is now 60 and creative is weird, 30 on some days and 0 on other, no packet loss, just delay, that is the only thing that i get fed up with ignoring chp4
My problem with Fortnite now is that they keep changing chapters so often I remember when the black hole event happened and there was a new island and it was crazy and now it’s every like five seasons the chapter changes
dont forget about chapter 4, that chapter was a blast, introduced many new stuff and probably had the best loot pool out of all the chapters, it kinda went downhill after season 3 chapter 4 but i loved the first 2 seaons
I’ve been banging the drum of Epic being the company to create a compelling metaverse product for years. If epic was a publicly traded company I would put as much money as I can into them.
This is so true. It's always annoying when I here people complain that fortnite is dead when it is still one of the biggest games in the world. They act like if fortnite is as iconic as it was back in 2018, then its a dead game. Thats just not true. Like remember back in C1 S5 when people were talking about fortnite dying when really the numbers were decreasing a pretty much negligible amount? Obviously a game is not gonna retain near peak player counts over the course of 6 years.
reason i quit: the game is consistently inconsistent. the constantly changing meta in competitive always frustrated me, but now throwing a new map, new movement, attachments, no hitscan all in the same update has pushed me over the edge
I really enjoy these videos and think Reisshub has the best analysis on the game but disagree with a major part of this video. I have no issue with the idea that this game has a wide skilll gap but Epic does a terrible job with skill-based matchmaking. In ranked I had a K/D of .9 but still managed to move between Platinum to Gold III which is insane. I personally think there should not be pubs and everyone should be ranked. That will help the new and low skill players (like myself) have more competitive games and help stop the pub-stompers that just want to clean up for thier 100th crown win of the season. Knowing you have no shot at a win before you jump off the bus is what will make people leave the game.
Bro I was like 8 or 9 when I started playing Fortnite in season 1. I started playing again after quitting in Chapter 2 season 4. The game has never felt better. I hope it stays this way. I want Fortnite to live on forever
@@leviehrhardt913 That’s a fair point. I do agree the movement is god awful. But then again, I’ve accepted the fact that games are never perfect and I am learning to deal with it.
I think the only thing that could "kill" Fortnite was sticking with Battle Royale. Growing it into a platform is ensuring its longevity, and I'm grateful for it. I've spent too much money on this game to get burnt out of it. Honestly, that kind of scares me too. Gotta remember to spread my wings and play other games too, otherwise Fortnite will take over everything.
in november the og map returned ofc the numbers are gonna be alot higher its common sense that if they bring back the og map alot of people will start playing bc of it
The idea that the old map and guns will come back give me a reason to grind to get better. Fortnite is now fun because I mostly figured out how to not care if I die again.
who said the old map will come back? they have unvaulted weapons but i've heard nothing about the old map the map is going to change next season though
Back in late 2019 when it was considered a dead game due to chp2s1 not having many updates there was still millions of people playing everyday and still some of the biggest streamers and content creators so even without the updates fortnite still prevailed
