Why does this Stupid Game Refuse to Die? 

i started playing back in october 2017 and stopped playing by season 10. while i played here and there over the years, Fortnite OG has been the most fun ive had in the game since season 9.

Based on the title, I thought bro was gonna completely shit on the game (which is what brought me to this video), but Instead, he broke down every single detail on the game's success and problems flawlessly. Huge respect to you bro. Not alot of people with the same title would speak so fluently about how Fortnite has evolved. They'll most say "this game is dead" or "why tf are you playng ths shitty game", or even "Ew, go play Apex kid" type stuff. You definitely had me.

You have my respect bro. You speak facts and recognise that the game is still surviving-thriving(in a slower rate than that of 3-4 years ago) and not just cussing the game or saying "You still plays that game eeww" like some kids.

Been playing since CH1 Season 5, and have never taken a season-long break. I've had many times where I wanted to quit, but I somehow knew this game would continue to thrive, even when big streamer (and even most of my friends) said the game was dead! I'm continually impressed by Epic's ability to keep blowing people away, and I'm super glad you made this video! Fortnite is a lot of fun, and many OGs that quit don't know what the game has to offer now. Great video, btw!

i was not expecting a video that good from a title like "Why does this Stupid Game Refuse to Die?" lol

the thing is fortnite isnt refusing to die it cant die pepole think that players droped after chapter 1 but in chapeter 4 season 4 it saw the most amount of players in its history not accounting for the og season

I quit after chapter 1 due to me not enjoying modern fortnite, and og fortnite is a nice nostalgia trip

The reason being that fortnite is really fun. Ive only been playing this game for two days and i can confirm that it is very fun especially with friends

one thing i hate about the gaming community is people shitting on others on what game they like to play, if its genshin, fortnite, roblox or even mobile games, i always hated it, when i saw your title i thought it was just another kid who wanted to ramble why fortnite was bad, and you didn't, respect

As someone who never stopped playing the game, I completely agree. I never got good at building, I refused to, but I still only play builds, and this season has made it fun again. From my experience, the game has dropped twice in popularity, ch2 s1 with its lack of updates, and halfway through ch3, where things got sloppy, only now I think the game is great again, and I can hope that they continue to ride off this hype, I’m happy to see the game succeeding again

This video perfectly describes and captures what happened with Fortnite. Very well said

Its because every season is fun some are exponentially fun like Ch2 S2, 3,4 Ch3 S1,2,3

i started playing back in chapter 1 season 3 and stopped playing back in chapter 3 season 1, and I have returned for chapter 4 season 5 which is probably the most fun ive had on fortnite since chapter 1

You really went into detail other than bullshitting the game thanks bro you deserve a sub! ❤

Fornite is genuinely the only game I have fun playing, the prices for cosmetics are accesible , all different game modes, they actually listen to the community, it’s just the perfect game to release streess

From the title i thought it would be one of those cringe valorant Kids who cant go a second without hating. This video is actually pretty good tho

we will look back on this game in 10-20 years and be blown away with how big it was

I've been playing since ch1 season 5. I really didn't PLAY play until ch2 s2 when I bought my first battle pass (that season was amazing) and I haven't quit since. I've taken short breaks but it always manages to pull me back in.

I honestly think they should do a black hole for around a few months

0:38 this move broke me

I think fortnite matchmaking is now more approximated to the current skill level due to many people playing. I rarely see sweats since og season started

i started playing in season 2 and stopped in season 2 chapter 2, the game is so much, i used to be an above average player i wasn't insane at building or anything but i used to hold my own, now that im rusty it's kinda fun relearning how to build with new settings new ways to build and retake high ground, i still do 90s even though ik they're not good lol

honestly the title misled me into thinking this would be another "FORTNITE DEAD NEW TREND GAME BETTER" video but im glad that instead of shitting on the game your showing the real truth and history of fortnite.

I never got a chance to play it until Christmas 2019 (I was poor and used a ps3) and if you say “use you phone” I didn’t get one until my tenth year in Highschool so I’ll never know what it was truly like to play the game

I been playing as a casual for 5 years, and I only keep playing cause story and cause I have friends playing still. Never quit as I had enough tricks up sleeves to beat those who build giant mansions in a second. Hiding and tricks will always win

I fully agree with everything you said. In my opinion, fortnite wont die for at least 5 years

Idk it’s just so fun man especially with friends, I’ve puts in so many hours and gotten to tier 100+ every season since chap1s2

I thought i was clicking onto a 200k view video until i saw the comments 😭 keep up the good work though

The game isn’t even that bad honestly, I slowed down playing around season 8 and completely stopped mid chapter 2. Only played when new seasons dropped after. Started again when that atlas map came out in creative and realised the game isn’t even that bad. We were all too hard on it

this video is so well done what the heck

Even if it dies, Fortnite has done something that no other game has done. Its managed to stay relevent after years of bad seasons, managed to crossover with brands like the NBA, Marvel, DC etc and still manages to bring back players in many ways. Hate it or love it, you gotta respect it.

i started season 1 and i kept playing since then

dope video

6:55 i didn't really like chapter 1 but that's my opinion

Ive had my ups and downs with this game. I started playing in season 3 of chapter 1 but stopped playing in chapter 2 season 5 because I hated the season and the squad I played with kinda died out. Then Chapter 3 came along and the squad came back but by the end it had shattered again. But guess what 4 friends are back playing again?

This is top tier content. Keep up the good work!

Dude, what an incredible video. I was apart of the "anti sweat" players, and I hated on how much the game had changed. This video changed my perspective, and I can see now that it is a fact that the game changed a lot, but for the better, and I can understand why it is still thriving. Thank you!

Yo this was actually one of the best retrospectives on Fortnite that I've seen please make more videos

Someone tweeted “how is everyone finding playing ISO” and I just realised I haven’t played Val once since Fortnite OG dropped. It’s honestly the most fun I’ve had in a long time when gaming. And this is coming from a guy who never played the chapter 1 map and whose main game is valorant.

Zero build saved the game for me

Honestly, I love this game lol, back when fortnite was like the only thing people where talking about I didn't really play much (I was too much of a pussy) but I do remember occasionally trying it out and watching videos every once in a while. After that tho I didn't really see much of the game, I didn't care that much about it but I would see their stupid events and collabs be mentioned, BUT last year during summer break me and some friends didn't have anything to do so we just decided to try out fortnite lmao and it ended up being some of the most fun i've had playing a game in a WHILE, the game has so many stupid and fun items and features that it's just so hard to take it seriously but I think thats why the game can be just so fun. Zero build also helps with the enjoyment of the game, it makes it not as serious and not impossible to play if you end up encountering a sweat. Imo this game has been sorta underrated for a while, it's a good game but most people still think of it as a baby game for childeren and like yeah a lot of the player base are 9 year olds but that doesn't make it less fun.

Next season could easily be one of the best seasons. Everyone is giving feedback on this season, mentioning what they miss and how things should be next time, and all epic has to do is listen -- which im sure they're doing, but knowing how they are they're most likely going to be dumb and go with their original plan for next season then put all the good stuff the season after

bro this deserves WAY more attention

We will never let this game die

Another genius move is that there adding some modern weapons on the of map like the new grapple glove so that people who didn't play modern fortnite, can see what the game will offer after of ends.

These people saying “fortnite is dead 💀” they must be the most blinded people ever

Just broke another all time peak record today even after OG season

As somewhat of an OG, this new season is frustrating. It feels like my childhood all over again since when I was younger my parents never let me play gun games, so every few months I would hang out at my friend's house to just play fortnite for about an hour and a half, every 1-3 months for just 1.5 hours... think about it....1 month of OG isn't enough for me and it hell doesn't feel the same. The game is still fun and after my parents became less strict I've been playing since then but now theres a gap of my OG brain with the sweaty 8 year olds who don't understand the significance and don't care for casuals like me

They keep things fresh and continue to add content the same way minecraft, terraria and roblox does. Question answered

And now the lego, music and racing mode...

As a new player, it’s just fresh, fun and honestly relaxing. When I’m tired of Valorant, or when my friends’ wills are finally broken by League, we can get on Fortnite and just kick back and boom boom pow and laugh the whole way.

Cause children are always gonna be born

I'm not having fun with this OG season but I'm glad many people are enjoying it

Fortnite Is Just The Goat

Content creators do so much of the heavy lifting, along with constant fresh updates.

The last time I played Fortnite was Winterfest Chapter 2, but recently my little brother wanted me to play Fortnite with him since the OG map is back, I hesitated at first but decided to try it out since I don't have anything to do and haven't played any games for a year straight due to work and burnout. I honestly don't regret it, Fortnite has sparked my interest in playing games again. Playing the OG map was fun, then I bought my first every purchase in Fortnite which was the OG battlepass, right then and there was where I was invested in the game, I bought so much V-Bucks and was kinda addicted to it, of all the games I played, I've never really bought any virtual items in games before, but something about Fortnite just struck me. I fell in love with the game the more I play it. Playing the OG map, then experiencing my first ever live event for Chapter 5; it was so magical, it actually baffles me on how this game is even free in the first place. Then I get to see how the devs were always listening to the player base and that basically just sealed the deal. Fortnite is definitely the best game ever made in my eyes. I even convinced my friend who is a big Valorant fan to play "Child's game" (Fortnite) as what he would call it and made him fell in love with the game as well. He used to want me to play either Valorant or CS with him, but he's so addicted to Fortnite lately that we usually just play only 1 game of Valorant, then played Fortnite for hours. He even bought his first every skin which he rarely does since he only buys skins on games he loves. This means he's already invested in Fortnite and will probably make this his main game from now on.

This was actuallly an amazing video! Keep up more videos like this!

Not going to lie, Lego Fortnite is absolutely epic. I can’t stop! Chapter 5 ZB is fire too. The fact that it’s a free game is unreal to me.

Well,it means that its NOT a stupid game

I’ve watched the whole viedeo and understand your point of view but you gotta understand that what your telling is actually wrong because from my point of view Fortnite hit an all time low fireering lots of employees and losing a lot of money and probably forced Donald to quite and then got a new story guy who did the obvious and thoungt old = good so they did this a last attempt to save there buts bring og Fortnite back and to me who hasn’t played on the old days thinks this is phafetic

stupid game ??? what on earth is your problem ? ok now that it has gone back to the first chapter, that's stupid in my opinion. but that won't last.

Wait why does the video have 94k views but 95k likes, how does that work?!?!

As a fortnite fan who started playing in Chapter 1 Season 3, but only started truly getting into it around Season 5 and Season 6, I can agree with pretty much everything you said in this video. Epic keeps pushing for new highs and they've consistently managed to hit them, which is kind of incredible when you consider how mainstream fortnite is, you'd think they wouldn't break any of their own records, but no. They break their own records all the time! Excited for the future of fortnite, and happy to welcome any OGs back to the island. Cheers!

It's times like these that I am proud to still ne a Fortnite fan. Out of all my old friends I was the only one who continued to play the game for 5 years, and seeing them come back and play the game again is amazing

Chapter 5 Season 1 is where I’m quitting for a bit

Good video, really bad title.

Fornite 4 life baby woooo😮

I feel like fortnite has joined the undying train with minecraft and roblox and other games.

I clicked and watched this video expecting it to be popular but I was met with 69 views :) this man deserves a bigger audience

What an incredible journey this has been for me! It all kicked off back in primary school when I heard whispers about a new game called Fortnite circulating among my classmates. Fast forward to my birthday, and I unwrapped a shiny new PlayStation 4 Pro, diving headfirst into Fortnite during Chapter 1-Season 4. And let me tell you, I was hooked. Initially, it was all about the gameplay, but when the storyline entered the scene, my inner nerd surfaced, craving every intricate detail. The story was nothing short of epic. This fascination carried me through Chapter 1-Season 8, but Seasons 9 and X felt off, as if something was amiss with Fortnite. Not the storyline, but the game itself. It wasn't just the surplus of absurd additions; I was also transitioning from primary school to secondary school. I started socializing less with my old pals, forming connections with new friends who, it turned out, shared my passion for the game and were even more my type than my primary school buddies. Entering class with an old friend I hadn't seen since kindergarten and after-school care, we witnessed the conclusion of Chapter 1 together. Phew, a fresh start, Chapter 2-Season 1. It began promisingly but concluded disappointingly. The wait was interminable, and the additions were lackluster until one of my all-time favorite seasons graced us - Chapter 2-Season 2. I was fully immersed in the game again, playing incessantly with my newfound friends. The storyline maintained its epic allure throughout, despite some seasons being more enjoyable than others. Chapter 3-Season 1 was also a blast, but towards the end of Season 2, I had a falling out with the friend I mentioned earlier. As a result, not only did I spiral into my own depression, but Fortnite did too, at least in my eyes. The storyline was neglected, and we were subjected to what I deemed the worst live event ever. Throughout Chapter 4, I barely played three or four games. However, with the release of Creative 2.0 (always been a fan of Creative), I rekindled my interest in Season 4, playing extensively with other friends. Just in time for the OG vibes.

"Fortnite's kinda dying." Said a RU-vidr, Back in 2020

Lol, because it’s fun dude. and zero build definitely helps.

good ass video man

Great video! As an OG, I’m loving OG Fortnite too!

This is incredible. You cover so much but in a great way. I'll always miss OG Fortnite and some of the more organic interactions/moments that arn't as common now...but they really have adapted on so many fronts. Very great points about how much faster the entire experience is...as well as fun. Great work!!!

Best game of the decade 🔥

The hell u calling stupid, this game is not stupid and like its a good game but here you are just hating the game This comment was a joke btw good video

I just realized this is the only game I’ll die and spectate and don’t mind spectating

Fortnite is william afton of battle royals

It's better than you and Roblox

I hang on during the worst times of Fortnite regardless I'll still play the game even in it's darkest hour

you mean "epic's willingness to STEAL from the DEVELOPMENT community" (which is why i'm straight up ripping multiple games and mashing them up)

What about Roblox? It has been going strong and still growing after 17 Years

you don't have to be able to build very well at all to really enjoy this game.

Turbo Building ruined the uniqueness of the building system. Now it's an editing game. Very boring.

Good video but why call the game “stupid”?

I had started playing in ‘17 so season 0? but was out by season 7-8 barely ever played it and didn’t enjoy the game at all anymore, but with the return to OG fortnite i’m hooked again. Never was a huge building guy so zero build and the plethora of new game modes from epic and the community has really brought my love for the game back, i feel like a kid again and not many games can still do that for me

I mean they weren’t doing bad before this season, pretty sure the player base peaked a couple of seasons ago(before it peaked again ofc)

because its fucking good

Fortnite is overshadowing what COD is doing ex, too many collabs. Like, who would want to play against or as 21 savage like what? Or what about spawn? Yeah they are both cool people and all, but they dont belong in COD.

0:2 yeah yeah my butt they are geniuses, removing trading from rocket league is stupid

I spent 5 minutes trying to figure out where I recognised your voice from until I realised you were Valarant Curious 😂

Fortnite it’s been the only shooter game that had brought something new to the table… bunch of people that weren’t able to get the building are the ones who actually thinks it’s a Stupid game… lame… etc. this is the only game that has mechanics for every single IQ levels (you need a high IQ level to master the building mechanics) some people still hating Fortnite and guess why… they can’t handle it… so those players can stay playing COD or super Mario bros… stupid or not, liked or not, there will be many seasons to come and and the game will stay alive. Epic is so confident of it that is still a FREE game.

the game will always stay alive because epic knows how to appeal to there audience unlike Some Games (Cough) Call of Duty (Cough) Apex Legends

I mean, a game that has Master Chief, Chief Hopper, Kratos, Jack Skellington, Michel Myers, just cant die. Like it or not🫠

I'll tell you the reason. It's always because epic is always sitting next to a stupid panic button on every time they lose their fan base they press that button. Not only that, the only reason why epic is this persistent is because they want to kill steam so they can control and dictate the market. It explains why UE5 is going to soon have a subscription.

The biggest problem with Fortnite is how unbalanced crossplay is it's the worst implementation of a crossplay that i have ever seen And to think that this game is what started crossplay is insane and epic doesn't seems to care I know a lot of people who left the game because of this Wich make sense if the game doesn't treat the consumer fair there is plenty of other games that will treat you fair If you play on console every time you hear epic say they'll upgrade the graphics you just know it means the game gonna play like ass even more While you have to deal with all these graphics and shadows and blinding effects while fighting, people on pc making their game look like photo with no shadows to see even your underwear it's absolutely ridiculous from a balance pov in any other game this will be considered hacking It used to be worse with epic not addressing the input delay and scroll wheel Epic made playing this game on a console a joke (literally) Wich is insane because console is 80% of it's players probably

Because they capatalize off nostalgia I saw this coming 2 years ago they make it good originaly remove the good shit and then bring It back it’s a formula they’ve been following since Szn 4

I’m glad you didn’t just go “ fortnite?? That KIDS game your so immature” unlike many other RU-vidrs.

"Why does this Stupid Game Refuse to Die?" Yeah titles like this won't really make me want to watch the video. You might do a valid criticism but this title ain't selling the vid for me.
