How To Kill Your Game in a Month (LEGO Fortnite Rant) 

The thing with Lego Fortnite is that there’s no goal. It doesn’t feel satisfying updating your village and getting new items. You just painfully wander around aimlessly until you find the next biome or a boss. It’s one of those games where you play it, have fun, and then never touch it again.

It just fucking cameo out. Holy shit. It was so big because EVERYONE was trying it because it was new. Obviously it's not going to retain those players because most of them never actually planned to actively play it to begin with. 60k players is more active players than most multiplayer games have in general.

and now theyre selling parts in the shop :3

I think they couldn't find a way to monetize it, so they let it die.

Its cool to see the lego star wars bring it back somehow

Bro hasn’t played mechanical mayhem

Epic shouldn't have went to vacation when this mode released, it wasn't one of their smartest moves also palworld happened which pretty much ruined everything for lego fortnite

One of the things I tried doing was taming a direwolf to hopefully use it as a mount for easier traversal. Tried bone, meat, etc. Even tried to jump on it similarly to how you tame a direwolf in BR. Nope, no results and it just kept attacking. What a missed opportunity, especially in a game where you gotta go to different biomes to progress and god knows how far away from your village they can be.

Lego fortnite is like minecraft but the 2 week phase is a 3 day phase

Small rant, but the gamemode also singlehandedly killed the itemshop with all of the shop tabs that are just dedicated to skins and nothing more

I'm a festival player so it's wild to see festival some how overtake the lego player count for a little bit.

The amount of wasted potential is insane. They could have added SO MUCH THINGS! Even a collarbone with other Lego brands like Star Wars, avengers, Lego city would already be incredible!)

I think adding 3 game modes at once was pretty dumb, and tbh rocket racing should of just been a mode in actual rocket leage instead of fortnite, and lego fortnite never should of happened. Festival is the only mode i feel like belongs in fortnite and was a good choice.

You think Lego Fortnite has it rough? Rocket Racing barely peaks 5k whenever I’m playing

Lego Fortnite doesn't even have an ending or something

Why ppl would play lego fortnite if they can play minecraft and do more things

its a far worse lego worlds honestly

Dude its Free to play. Losing 90% of your playerbase in a month is normal for free to play. WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY ONLY DID QUALITY OF LIVE UPDATE IN 1 MONTH what da fk do you expect how many people do you think are working on that game they dont have 5 million people working 27 hours a day other games get 1 update every 3 months or in the case of rocket league 1 update in 2.5 years that takes away ingame trading Bruh these Fortnite retrds are getting seriously out of hand

Imagine if five years from now lego fortnite ogs will wish that the game was never updated and complain how back then the game was god and now theres too many updates😂

The biggest reason it didn't catch on between myself and my kids was the lack of a full creative mode. My kids spend hours building custom worlds in Minecraft and we were all hyped for Lego. Yet, you can only make pre-fabbed items in Lego. It missed mixing lego pieces together to be creative. I wish they will add it in the future.

I actually like Lego fortnite

They updated it!

The problem I have is this mode singlehandedly holds back every item shop. You want emotes that were in rotation in December? Well you can't, because there's no Lego version, and this is just an example. They keep rotating recent items out of the shop because they have a Lego version. Certain collabs were brought back like Rick & Morty, but not ones that people actually want like AOT/Master Chief/Etc, which is a separate issue.

Let’s say it sucks

Zoomer players when the game dont have 3 updates a week.

Lego fortnite is literally just worse valheim

my take is, its fire but the content is so lame. minecraft was always cool beacause even when there was less content, there were plenty of blocks to get creative with. lego fortnite made freehanding incredibly difficult, and so it loses that aspect of "infinite content" compared to minecraft. on top of that, the fact that there was actually no content update until a month or two after release? and even then it was a couple of daggers? what is with this game. and then we finally get a propper "update" but its literally just fishing and a machine to process the fish. insane that they thought this was a viable strategy to maintain momentum.

Save the world: Intresting

its always funny how save the world, the gamemode epic DOESNT want you to play, has more players than both rr and ff, even if founders was removed

In Palworld I beat all the combination gyms/ubisoft towers, caught most of the pals and made it to the final tier of the tech tree in around a month and dropped it to wait for the Yggdrasil update. I'm on PC Gamepass and my friends and acquaintances who play have the steam version so I have to play solo so I'm not interested in the raids.

I mean Palworld lost like 83% of it's concurrent users in 3 weeks and its still declining. Honestly this seems to be the Survival Game trend where they blow up and see insane numbers (ARK, Valheim, LEGO, Palworld, VRising etc.) but can't put out enough content to keep the majority interested for more then a month or two. Another problem is Survival games simply rely on players continuing to build and create their own fun instead of creating some sort of endgame loop thats fun for those who aren't out here trying to build every castle from Game of Thrones.

Like siriously, who cares about about LEGO FORTNITE???

Triple AAA games, maybe like finish your games

I tried to force myself to like it but it’s boring

At least now we can make a steerable car now lol

Fortnite and Lego just doesn’t fit. Nobody asked or even thought about Lego coming to Fortnite. They should focus on Battle Royale and continue the storyline.

Lego Fortnite was my favorite game but it’s still so broken! Haven’t been able to play my world in a week because I hard freeze in five minutes of loading in every single time . RIP … what a waste of a potentially amazing game

Many people called it - This was going to be another Save the World type deal where it's a mode that could have EASILY been great, but will just be left to die.

I didn't even know this was a thing

Some games are popular at first because of novelty but lack any real foundation that keeps people playing. That’s why some games are games that have a small player base but it never stops playing (think TF2 or rimworld). Anyone can get a catchy title and creative concept that brings in tons of players but very few can turn it into a game people actually want to play for a while, this happens every week on roblox

For me, I personally just find the game extremely boring, like, the first two days of me playing were pretty fun because of the hype and new thing so could explore, but by the third day I quickly realized the game is just grind and grind and grind and die and grind and die and freeze to death the game. So imo, other than lack of update, the game is just boring and bad Ppl use to say that Lego forntite would surpass Minecraft, well I always knew that was BS considering you can’t even change the terrain in this game

The main reason there has been a lack of updates is due to Epic employees being on break. especially the employees who worked on the new games, they got an extra week off allegedly. that's why the game had barely any updates late December and all of January. BR also didn't even experience updates during that time and the entire community was complaining in saying that, the teams are all back now and I'm glad epic has been making sure they got good holiday time and the rest they need. but launching lego fortnite at a time where you are going to have no one working on it was not probably the best move

As a person who stopped playing Lego Fortnite I prefer to play Fortnite Festival 🗿

It’s crazy people think 60k players means it’s dead..

And then they sold the bag with no ninjago and chima skins

"they devoted an entire team so surely they'll update it right?" *Laughs in Save the World* HAHAHAHA YOU THOUGHT WRONG!!!

They added sterrable vehicles, got bored in 2 days, honestly it wouldve thrived more if it worked like minecraft smps, a big lobby for multiple people

lego fortnite is fun, until you realize you aren't actually working towards anything, its fun to fuck around and build a house for 20 minutes until you realize that's about all the game has to offer.

You didn’t mention a MAJOR part of no updates at launch. There were no updates because everyone at Epic went on Christmas break. That’s the sole reason there was no major updates, for any of the gamemodes. Everything went on maintenance mode. They simply launched the game at a terrible time

And they killed it again with the $20 Lego kits.

lego fortnite's progression is akin to starbound in its earlier phases of development back in 2014. Mine the ore, make new tools, leave the planet, go to another planet, mine the ore, make new tools, leave the planet, go to another planet, mine the ore, make new tools, leave the planet rinse and repeat. Also the big guys are waaay too strong

This guy sounds like he learned about swear words 2 days before he uploaded the video

Since when a 60k+ player count is considered dead? (Probabaly rn is even less) Ik it represents a small fraction of what it used to be but still, I know many games that survived for years with player counts between 4/8k. Some are still pumping out content today

Wait this game is literally just Minecraft but without the complete sandbox element? That sounds like something that would get old fast.

I am one of those players who played a lot of LEGO Fortnite back when it released and just stopped one day and never came back. In my case it was because it really felt like just a Minecraft clone with a LEGO coat of paint, and it's not even that because there's no dragon to defeat.

The last segment of the video aged poorly with the 97% player drop Palworld experienced

I played this the first day it was out and I instantly just thought that I'd rather just play Minecraft

Them patching the durability fix glitch is what made me never play it again

For the most part, I think that Lego worlds allows for more creativity than Lego fortnite.

As fun as the festival, Lego and Rocket Racing modes are, these are all really gimmicks and were always going to die down over time. The battle royale is still the core part of the game for most.

This aged very badly😂

I don't care for the lego mode, but with over 100k active players right now they are doing something right. The mode isn't for everyone, but if people enjoy the game then good for them.

Its not that epic isn't updating the mode its that the mode itself doesn't have much content in it when it launched. The game is short.

I mean, you're not wrong. I say that as someone who loves the game, but I am taking a hiatus as I have done everything there is to do. Twice over! (i'm on a server with other people also). Even building is a little stale because there is nothing new to build. No new furniture, walls, or items. We don't even have actual doors you can put inside the homes to make a bathroom door. Also, I think the need for mining is obsolete after you get to the Frost biome. I'm not the strongest brute fighter, but they are not at all as terrifying as i once thought. There needs to be enemies that are tough to fight in solo, but also fun and worth grouping up for with groups. An actual endgame. I'd also like a reason to keep building in survival. Outside of getting your village to level 10, there is no reason to. idk. I really hope they turn the game around, it really has the potential to be great.

I play it because i love the low preasure. Vibe and being able to just build myself a little village with some homies and just grinding that 30k XP every 15 minutes. Theres nothing wrong woth it not having an ending. Minecradt and stardew valley have "endings" but if anything theyre all optional. You dint have to kill the ender dragon to play minecraft. And after you do, nothing changes. Tou just go back to being in an empty sandbox. The main thing id say yo people is that Lego Fortnite is a great fun little experience to waste a few hours of your time and good around with building. Dont play it if youre expecting a story. And even then. As of right now, lego fortnite has almost 2 million players as of me typing this. It isnt dead (and i know this is a long amount of time between my fomment and this video) but im having fun and its what got my GF to play games with me so i like it lol

It needs it's own "redstone", they sort of have a vehicle system, but they need to expand on it drastically, because right now the biggest issues i see is that the sandbox aspect is heavily limited, and there's a lack of survival mode content for people to grind. They need to focus more on the sandbox mode first in my opinion, because that type of gameplay can keep more players around for longer, whereas survival only content is something people beat once and then leave, both are important, but the sandbox needs more sand to keep relevance.

My biggest issue with it is that because most of the skins in the game don’t have Lego counterparts, the only skins coming to the store are ones with Lego skins. The shop has been rotating the same few skins non stop and I’m tired of seeing them.

i think people dont understand that 90% of the games that blow up nowdays will only last 2 weeks before they die off , they blow up because of tiktok which is made for short attention spans, the only game i've seen blow up and not die was elden ring which is crazy because that game has an actuall ending, i never played the lego fortnite or any of the other fortnite minigames , same thing with palworld , i couldn't care less about these random tiktok 2 week games

Well they just announced two new game modes, so maybe it'll resurrect

I only played for the quests then immediately dipped lol

Hope they keep updating this game and work on it. I have hopes after playing No Mans Sky again. They were terrible for the first year or so...now its an incredible game.

Watching this video now, I think this game could make a comeback. They just added the highly requested vehicle update, and in the next big update (probably 29.30) they’re adding an actual late game, so I hope this game has a comeback. I think it has potential.

Fast forward 1 month, and it's so bad, epic has now added Lego kits to purchase for 2000 vbucks. They probably realized not many people are playing so they did a final resort to milk as much money as they can out of suckers dumb enough to buy it. It's so dumb it's like if Minecraft had a paywall behind all the blocks

I never played or liked Lego Fortnite. They made Minecraft with no goal. Also, there were dedicated teams on both and all the Lego Fortnite players probably realized it’s a low budget Minecraft and changed to Minecraft.

Holy shit right when I saw this video, Lego Fortnite dropped updates where buildings are strictly microtransactions LMAOOOO

I played this for almost 2 hours because I was bored with every other survival game on xbox, and yea, hot garbage, as is everything with the name Fortnite in it.

The issue was that all the Epic Games team members went on Holiday break. I feel like if the new chapter was out after the holiday break then we would have been golden. Every mode was going stale since all the members were on break. Also did you get the new Pigeon skin?

They are selling buildings!! Its lego if you have the pieces you should be able to build it but now its 15 dollars for a virtual lego set. If you buy that i dont know what you are but i know your not smart!

It fell off because it was very limited, you could not place things were you wanted without it snaping and that’s really what it came down to to me

I called Lego and the other 2 modes were gonna fall off a cliff, it’s just insane to divide your player base that far and split devs that much, like imagine if all that dev time actually went into making battle royale even better, hurts to think about

Tf2 not receiving a single update for 10 years straight, WE STAND STRONG

I am fucking getting old if 1.5 months without updates for the gamemode that just came out is not enough to keep attention of people. And I am still a zoomer.

of course the game died quickly, i beat the game in two days. theres not much to do why keep on playing? it was also super buggy and glitchy. i’m pretty sure they didn’t expect this mode to gain 2.5 million players within 3 days. it was just suppose to be a collab (showing off their UEFN) which allows anyone to create a similar or different game like this lego and rocket league collab. they defiantly didn’t expect a big success like this. there’s still some bugs and glitches they need to fix before releasing another update. this community is so whiny wanting everything to be release within a month. these things takes time, they have other things to do for the company besides fornite now lol.

I think lego fortnites only goal was to bring kids that like lego get an easy entry to fortnite

There isnt a story mode really

And now its worse because they think they can sell us custom kits as if were going to pay for the same gameplay loop with no updates....

fortnite is just not able to maintain any other game that is not battle royale, the same thing happened with save the world

30+ villagers can visit your villages, but you can only have a max of 15 across all villages. In what world does that make sense? They added three more, but that means you have to get rid of three in order to get them. And then you can have 3 villages maxed, or spread them out. Thank god I've only every played solo. I can't imagine a group of friends having to decide which village is allowed to have villagers. And while it's open world, it's also not. Minecraft you can dig up, destroy, build anything. Lego Fortnite you can only build certain things, only destroy certain things, only explore certain things. After a short period it just feels confined....So much wasted potential.

annnnd palworld is dead too

The biggest problem for me was having to make a village and stuff to progress, and the building was confusing at times. Maybe Im just dumb but it was just too confusing for me lol.

My fortnite doesn't even work anyway lol missed all of this

I had alot of fun but i also only played it for about 3-5 days and then havent touched it since

I wonder what you think of Minecraft updates taking a year to add minimal things?

I remember when the game dropped, a few friends wanted me to play it with them and shit and said it was very fun and there was a lot to do and shit and some of them even went as far as saying that it would kill Minecraft and take its place in the Survival Sandbox and that it was much better and greater And then they just suddendly stopped talking about it. And I completely forgot about it LMAO.

as a minecraft fan(yes i play both games), lego fortnite was like playing minecraft for the first time ever a 2nd time, just with alot less polish. but for the first couple days of playing it was just nice being in a new snadbox game where i didnt know every little thing about it and actually learning things as i went, like i actively avoided watching vids on lego fortnite to figure things out on my own i didnt mind having to travel and find biomes(im too used to MC), but what i find atrociously annoying is how resources dont regenerate stuff like stones and knotwood, like youll eventually run every cave in your vacinity dry, move onto caves farther away, run them dry and rinse and repeat and you going like 100 miles away to remake tools and THATS when travelling gets tedious, seriously and with how brittle tools where and still a bit are its annoying, like in minecraft you can always default to stone tools with just how much stone there is and you can just make a cobblestone generater or heck if you mine youll find iron and then just get a snowball rolling but in lego fortnite youve gotta go to caves in forests to get tools, go back to base to make tools to make knotwood, go back to caves to get said wood then back to base then go to some far off land. and yeah the workbench needing to be upgraded just makes having to go back to base to make the smallest items most of which requireing some upgrades levels is tedious. but this is all coming from someone constantly compareing it to minecraft cause it reminds me so much of it and the enemie system is just a bit too rpg like, like first its wolves and skeletons, then suddenly is wolves...but in sand, and skeletons...but with... pirate hats and yeah the inventory was very small and like people call villagers in minecraft op and well i can see that id rather a system like that than what is in the game currently oh and the memes on lego fortnite vs minecraft werent all that long lived, i was hoenstly surprised by that but with all that was and still happening in the fandom i dont see how i was so surprised

I noticed the parallels, too, but I agree Palworld is the way better game, even the shitty Xbox One version which is the only one I have access to lol. Palworld is starting to lose me but that’s after nearly a month of playing it and school starting up again isn’t helping that.

Believe in Jesus Christ ✝

So this is what lego worlds died for.

When I realized I couldn’t build more than some tiny village, I quit instantly. Couldn’t even play the world I built in just 2 weeks because “too many builds, your game gonna fucking crash🗿”

You need to update and make a new video about this.
