Why People Hate Fortnite Chapter 5

the thing i just miss the most is the vibrant colors and more beautiful maps. These maps seem bland and dark and grey and just random af without any meaning i miss the chapter 2 vibrants or when they first used lumen on their maps.

I've probably played chapter 5 the least out of all Chapters. It just seems off and in my opinion is trying to hard and trying to compete or out do itself but failing to as they forget the basic elements that made Fortnite.

One big problem is that epic keeps changing stuff and fixing stuff that it doesn’t need to. One good example is the new UI change.

I think Epic gave up on the story line and are just focusing on collabs. I miss when epic did events. Also the map just looks depressing for some reason. I miss the looks from the chapter 1, 2, and 3 maps.

I miss the military theme and the angular, cartoony art style the most.

What's really weird about this season is how a lot of people who haven't played in years came back and are enjoying it, but people who have stayed are complaining.

I think the reason why C1 S5 is my favorite is the updates. Every time that I'd get home from school, I'd look forward to getting online and seeing if there's anything new. I remember seeing the cube and I was so interested in it. Now it's just hopping onto Fortnite. There's nothing more to it, it's just getting on Fortnite. When we do get an update half the time it's an update I'd never use or see, or I just hate it. Either way I still love Fortnite, it's just that it feels like every match is the same.

i really do miss the actual storyline being somewhat convoluted but you could follow it, after chapter 2, they just stopped having interesting story challenges and the story got even worse which really sucks, but fortnite is still about playing with the bros

Honestly I really like this season but the main problem is that there hasn’t been any major updates and it feels like Fortnite is spending all their time on racing and the music mode

what i dont like about this season is how it overcomplicates fortnite and makes it stressful to play, now you have to worry about multiple things at the same time, weapon attachments, movement items, medallions, snipers, mythics, vaults, etc. all of these you gotta worry about having otherwise there's no way to win the match, on top of that, your playstyle now has to accomodate for pressuring a guy with 3 medallions in their inventory meanwhile they spam multiple boxes so they get all their health back, at the same time hoping you dont get sniped and hear the grapple sound, while nearby there's other people with medallions creating a whole fight in fencing fields and all you have is a green hammer that doesn't have the right attachments.

The thing I hate is how every chapter they try to change the lootpool completely like yeah I get how the game supposed to evolve but why not leave some of the old iconic guns and slowly add new ones? Also the fact that they try so hard to be realistic is sort of annoying at the start of the season i felt like I was playing gta the map is huge but its feels like copy n paste in every poi hopefully they can fix some of these issues bc Fortnite is one of my fav games

I’m personally really enjoying this season but I can understand why people aren’t feeling it. I would definitely like to see more frequent map updates and a more cohesive story, but for me it doesn’t take away that the game is still very fun. Of course the UI, locker, and shops need improving too. It feels like the core of the game isn’t the problem, but the outer and expansive layers surrounding the core are

For me the BIGGEST issue is the new movement animations. It just completely killed the momentum for me and I just hate how realistic and tactical, yet also bland in some ways it looks. They need to either make it look faster and smoother or just revert it to the original. Second place would have to be the weapon mods. Makes the game not feel like fortnite, makes all the guns feel the same and the whole non-hit scan thing I hate. Third would be the map, this could get better as the chapter goes on but right now it’s missing a lot and there’s to many bosses already for the start of a chapter. Probably one of the most boring seasons yet and I pray things change sooner than later

It would be really cool if they unvaulted some of the fun items like the Kingsman Umbrella, Traps, & the Inflate-A-Bull

When chapter 5 first launched, I remember there seemed to be two main changes people were complaining about: the movement, and (more importantly imo) the locker ui. Epic reacted to the movement criticism really quickly and effectively and fixed that in one of the first updates of the season. So WHY am I still dealing with this stupid, inefficient, bland-looking locker? Why can I still not shuffle presets, why are emotes and lobbies not bound to skins in presets, and why do I have different amounts of presets available in every section? I honestly think this season would be a pretty good one in my mind if it weren’t for the locker update, but because that was never fixed I consider this the worst chapter launch we’ve ever had and it’s not even close. Not to mention that the preset cap should have been raised from 100 to at least 200 (if not infinite, I still don’t know why there’s a limit) a LONG time ago. They really dropped the ball with this one.

Not being able to shuffle presets anymore was my biggest turn off. I was able to balance how often I wanted to play as certain skins while giving every skin a chance. Now I can't.

Sorry to burst your bubble on the statement but sweeny doesn't care. Disney will come in and destroy the original DNA of the game, unless we do something about it. And my opinion on what to do is simple. Stop buying skins and stop giving them attention and watch them squirm. Other then that I can already say that chapter 5 is still going to be empty.

I feel like Epic moving to a yearly Chapter release has ruined the fun in these seasons/Chapters

All I feel from this chapter is pain.

The problem is that the battle royale player counts are still insanely high, and players haven’t dropped off after the OG season. To epic that just means that this new version of Fortnite is just as successful, and until player interest drops they won’t change anything

For me it’s just the lack of effort. No story, lacklustre POI’s, crappy clunky weapons, no original updates. I’ve played about 5 matches this season.

I think Fortnite having the game in the OG seasons isn’t the play. Rather bringing that old charm and character back to newer seasons for example the map, I think the map we have now is rather bland it’s all kind of just mansions and villas. But in the old maps the locations had so much character and vibrancy like tilted, loot lake, risky reels. Or the old events like the meteor, cube, tv countdown all building up to the next event, it generate a lot of mystery and excitement. The events now feel more like banal advertisements than anything. I’d really love a return to form of how epic used to handle the old game rather than just recycling the same og season content.

My major issue with chapter 5 is I keep dying before I have time to react because so many guns this season are so broken

Chapter 5 takes itself too seriously. One of the main characters is literally a walking banana, the game shouldn’t be trying to be so realistic. Like chapter 5 is fun, I do enjoy it, but it doesn’t feel like Fortnite anymore.

i hate this season // i hate the movement // i hate the map // i hate the guns // fr when i join the game i dot even want and like to play normal games, i just play creative maps for 1 hour and then leave

I feel like the big one for me is the Fortnite storyline like what happened to the seven the foundation slone it just feels like the storyline Is dead and needs to continue in some form or way or atleast a backstory of why none of them were there

fortnite has to rely on collabs in order to survive nowadays

The main issue is the censorship. The female skins are all the same skinny body type and conservative clothing with modesty shorts. A far cry from the thicc cleavage skins we used to get in Ch 1.

i think Epic Games should not do yearly Island replacements because it's clearly affecting updates we get now, along with completely chop off the LEGO Fortnite mode and let it die because its a complete failure now and barely anyone plays it like everyone did the first week, realized the end goal is shit with it just being to get the final stage of crafting and then abandoned it like i did. i want the story to focus BACK to what it was supposed to because there is clearly some things in it that were entirely forgotten along with not making as many new weapons as old ones and unvaulting random stuff each week with no concern about balance because unbalanced games can be fun as hell. great examples of this is Mario Kart Wii and the original MW2. people LOVE how unbalanced those games are and still enjoy them to this day so putting that in a live service game like Fortnite makes complete sense also spare the developers from making lego versions of each skin, its absolutely sad how hard it is for them to catch up. the item shop failed to change for 3 weeks because of that until Epic said "fuck it, were gonna put unfinished LEGO versions in the item shop" which is still not being fully done. abandon the terrible LEGO mode and focus the resources on better stuff like that Fallout like story mode and BR/Creative. please Epic

I was just talking to my son about this, This game definitely isn't same, I truly miss storyline, how they hyped it up, now you have guess story.... I have also played less of C5 S1 then any of seasons, and if they keep going in this direction, I'll leave....... They need make Chapter's longer like 10 seasons at least.....

They made the lockers more complicated 😭😭😭😭

me personally i came back to fortnite in chapter 5 for peter griffin and then got hooked back on but the turret that is basically aimbot can ruin alot

Honestly. I played all chaoter 1, I played all of chapter 2, and fortnite lost me for chapter 3 and chapter 4, I came back for fortnite og. Loved it, felt great considering I only played chaoter 1 and 2 anyways, and chapter 5 came along. And I'm still with it. But I do have problems. Some of the items just kinda suck. And the auto shotgun is way too easy to use allowing really bad players to eliminate you just because they made it into your box. The updates haven't been great and the story line seemed at the beginning like it was gonna have a really interesting narrative to tell with peely missing. But we haven't seen any of this happen. As of right now we still just know he's missing. No other info and the season is coming to a close. Also where's the mid season map changes?? Snow melting isn't enough of a change it's the same map still just less white. Where the new poi areas? Why aren't certain things changing with the fight between the underground and society. So far it seems they just keep to themselves and haven't fought? Why aren't some factions loosing their hold on some places? Mythic weapons changing because of this? Like??

"It just doesnt feel very fortnitey"

I feel Fortnite gameplay is good right now I feel like it could be more colourful like OG but Ui design is the thing I want fixed

Sadly the SBMM destroys the game for me, when i load into the lobby i always want to play BR but i rarely end up playing it just because everytime i do play it i die in the first 1 or 2 fights because everyone is a lot better then me and its this way since chapter 4 saison 1, there is no purpose in playing it if there is 0 chance to win the game or even get a good game with more then 1 or 2 elims.

I love chapter 5, personally my second favourite season 1 map, it’s probably had one of the worst starts to a chapter yes, but then we got all these new game modes and over that month it was so much fun, yes content slowed down but epic deserves a break right? Just like most of us get Christmas break. And they spent most of last year making these new game modes and still managed to make chapter 5 good and have dry spots yes but whenever we get content so far it’s been pretty good, from solid snake to TMNT. So imma sit in this dark corner and defend chapter 5 Even tho I respect everyone’s opinion

You’re the only Fortnite content creator keepin it real! Epic needs to get rid of the “yes” men. Harsh truth is needed to improve.

In terms of best seasons, I've been an on and off player but I will NEVER forget Chapter 1 Season 10. Introduced me to my favorite skin X-Lord. Its actually really funny, all these cross overs, flashy new skins and all that and yet, just, final upgrade of a season 1 skin is my favorite.

Season started great. I really enjoyed it, but now I have played maybe 1 hr in the last 3 weeks.

its still fun, i usually try to get lots of kills but today i tried to be as sneaky as possible wearing solid snake skin and its so much more fun just messing around instead if coming across people who act like theyre gonna win a million dollars to going against easier opponents

The map is probably the worst ever Imo and my biggest issue. Not only does it look nothing like a fortnite map these pois are horribly designed, they don’t work with the building mechanics at all. Can’t build on roofs of pretty much all the pois, can’t build because random ledge or corner is there or replace any of the walls at ruined reels, there are parts of the map that are literally completely off grid. Mansions like lavish tower over the map and promote a campy playstyle, only 3 pois don’t have henchmen, the warmer biome literally has stretches of nothing for miles

I like fortnite chapter 5. The main problem is how there is no vibrant colors. No blue ice biomes. No desert, No light biomes. Just dark realistic colors.

There are always some players who complain. Maybe they can't adapt to new landing locations, mechanics or weapons. This season is great. Why don't you go to Lavish Lair and take a good look at this castle? Stand on the engine of the train and ride through the whole map. The graphics are unique. The weapons are ok, the upgrades are a great addition. The bosses are well done, as is the medallion system. The only negative thing about this season was already negative in the last and penultimate season: there is no SBMM. With a fair SBMM, this season would be perfect and could last forever.

Four months later and things have just gotten worse. Regardless of the new gameplay mechanics (I actually quite like the current season gameplay-wise), they simply don’t care about their own story anymore. The writing is so lazy, every new story arc introduced is just abandoned, and on top of that, god forbid you get killed in the middle of some cutscene/expository dialogue and have to go look for it on RU-vid because there’s no way to replay it in game. People seem to forget that videogames are a story telling medium; and Epic simply doesn’t care about their own story anymore; so why should we?

season 7 fortnite was the most fun i have ever had playing a video game

Also klarque a guy discovered that they were story quests actually about peely part 1 and 2 but for now they re only visible to new players and they re not on the menu even. So another thing they screw up again. All this season we could have story quests and they never fix it or gave it to us. And the season is almost over. Its like they dont care fixing some stuff too.

I feel like there just isn’t soul anymore in the game. What are all the updates? Collaboration skins and items. Not original stuff

I deleted it, they really ruined this game for me. -They force the metaverse bs on us and I'm really sick of it. -They got rid of story, chapter 4 graphics and rarities -They ruined the locker ui and still haven't fixed it despite promising to do so. -I feel like there's more AI players/bots than before -Item shop is run by AI now and there's the same stuff every single day like TMNT, Weekend or birds of feathers.

Theres too many things in it that I stopped playing. Probably just me.

I think the “Nostalgia Argument” Can’t work anymore because of Season OG and its success showing that people were loving it

Yess been waiting for the video to release! Watching you come up with the great points on stream was cool. These discussions and video's are ur specialty in my eyes. Ur doing great!

looking bad now its so sad. The Movement and Graphics just drove the Game into the Ground.

i personally believe this season is very flawed, but good. we got 3 new modes, peter griffin, snake, tmnt is one of the best collabs theyve ever done imo, the anims look amazing, the guns feel very good, my main complaints are that the frenzy shotgun and the snipers are extremely strong, especially in no build, since my friends prefer that, and no build is miserable as it is, and that this UI was an unneeded update. every other big issue was fixed extremely fast, and tbh fort lore isnt interesting to me at all.

The chapter 5 map doesn’t feel as fun as the other chapters. The other chapters were more vibrant with color and had more life, but the chapter 5 island is just bland. BUT, season 2 did help the map feel more alive

Fortnite started with a beautiful happy song to a Depressing sad Song.

I hate thats its becoming some sort of fucking metaverse.

I’m actually enjoying this season.

IT DID lose its identity, the map feels like PUBG, locations are too much realistic and just straight out of games like Overwatch, weapons are generic. The game feels generic. But i want to feel like i'm playing Fortnite, not just a BR. It feels like each chapter is worse than the last one. I'm level 150 without any glitch this season and for god's sake i'm even regretting Jungle Season. That's not good, but then yeah it's me ig, but i'm sure some people feel the same. Also my contender for best season of all time is Chapter 3 Season 1. Because it did mix everything good in the game : We've got this seasons launch after maybe the best live event a ever. A level of hype i've never seen before, especially on social media, the fortnite flipped, website, the time square boards. We've got a really cool battle pass mixing original skins and a collab with Spidy. WE'VE GOT A PROPER INTRODUCTION TO THE CHAPTER, not just a skippable cinematic and that probably was the coolest thing ever. The map was litteraly perfect, felt like a better more diverse Chapter 1 map, also the hype with Tilted and Klombo. THE STORYLINE WAS PEAK, we had just beaten the Aliens, we arrive on an Paradise Island controlled by the seven, we figure it it's Chapter 1 years later. We've got new movement with the slide. The weapons were very good, the OG MK7 is the greatest weapon in this game's history in my opinion, add to that Spiderman mythics. When you look back at it, this season is so perfect that the only thing you can criticize is the spray meta, THATS LITTERALLY IT, not other flaws whatsoever. But most importantly, IT MADE CEEDAY POST, if that's not a crazy archievement i don't know what is. I'm so grateful to have played that season.

I really miss the storyline law I remember we got storyline dialogue quests etc there was no storyline at all until now I hope next season we have more storyline law to it

This season is great but the boring item shops and the weekend ruined it for me

Gonna be honest, i started playing on chapter 5 and had no idea there was supposed to be a story.

At first i hated the season but now it's just ok nothing to special and to be honest if the turtles and peter griffin wasn't in this season not many people would've cared for the battlepass or the season.(at least Battle royale wise)

I’m reminded of any argument against any new shows coming out such as X-men 97 or any Disney movie. Critics are told “well it’s not for you or you’re an adult so why are you upset about a cartoon?” That is the same as the nostalgic argument. It shuts down the discussion and those who say that lack the ability to sit down and think why people think that. And the problem with TMNT is Raph’s bandana. Why not give him an edit style? That’s the reason I didn’t buy a turtle. I went with April.

I've never seen or heard of your channel before but this first video of yours I watched was absolutely fantastic bro. Great editing, great audio quality, great points to be made etc. But, above all, even greater shirt. My favorite band 🤘

So glad to finally see a moderate voice in the FN community. A lot of the points you made in this video are genuinely really good! I don't agree with all of them, but I agree on the fact the game isn't perfect, but can get better. At the end of the day, I think we should look back to what epic said about Chapter 5. It's a new beginning. Everything before hand in fortnite was important, yes. But chapter 5 onwards is where Fortnite really begins, and it becomes a whole new phenomenon. Like you said, we may not have ever seen peak fortnite, and I hope we get there soon.

The smow biome is exactly like pubg vikendi map... And others location are like COD .. the game is trash now... No vibrant colours... 💩to epic

I started playing this game a year ago and I'm having alot of fun with it. I could see how the game could just get stale if you play it alot for years. Since it's the same thing. When I was a kid I used to play call of duty zombies alot. Eventually it got boring.

Fortnite is a lot of fun with friends. I play with my old high school friends but since I live in Japan now and some of us have children it makes it virtually impossible to match up.

I like chapter 5, but I have few issues with the guns, while the sniper feels amazing every other gun feels horrible other than the auto shotgun, it is insane how the auto shotgun does almost as much as the pump with over double the fire rate, and the projectile speed of most guns is just too slow for how fast you can go in the game.

The only problem is it’s not OG fortnite

I’m starting to enjoy this game a lot after the tmnt update

The one thing i dont like about this chapter is the map feels more split. The map in chapter 3 and 4 had unity, and worked together, but this map just feels like a bunch of mini maps. I miss the blending of the locations and biomes.

Man I’m not going to lie the way Fortnite just adds sloppy guns and crappy machines just sucks, I mean I feel like I’m playing call of duty with stupid dances from celebrities. Just doesn’t feel right at all,to top it off why are there SOOO MANY FREAKING BOTs in the game??? It feels like 69 percent of players are ai bots,And I just hate the realistic depressing colors I miss the old Fortnite colors and how they had actual events that make you jump out your chair in excitement like the monster vs robot event in season 9 2019😢😢😢😢.

I miss the good item shops before LEGO took over the rotation, I miss the winterfest cabin, I miss BR updates more than every so often, I miss a lootpool that didn't revolve around 2 weapons, I miss when the majority of focus of the game was on BR, I miss when the UI and locker didn't suck. I hope Epic wakes up and next season is better.

A few days ago I argued why og Fortnite shouldn’t be permanent but I also understand why people miss it so much, chapter 5 isn’t necessarily bad but there’s very few updates and truth be told weapons aren’t playing like they used to. There is no story as of current and as for music concerts are no longer a thing in favor of the festival map, realistically maybe we’ve been spoiled but the lack of creativity even with skins is apparent which is wild considering community skins.

why do sweats and try hards take fortnite which is a kids game so serious it makes no sense why even do it when it ruins the fun for other players I'm not complaining i just don't get why they do it its just a game they need to grow up and realize taking a kids game seriously is just childish and a waste of life.

I mostly agree with your points of conversation, mainly the Vibrance of the game looking like apex legends. also I really hope you're right about Fortnite not hitting it's peak yet, so that we can finally see the "True Version" of this game

I haven’t heard anything bad about chapter 5 except the walking.

I remember when the game was cartoony and fun now it's like call of duty but for kids

Honestly I’ve played this season more then all of the chapter 4 seasons combined except season 1 I’m just really happy enjoying it

In chapter 6 they NEED to bring back the old chapter 2 battle pass concept with each level bringing a new reward other than battle stars. They should also bring back the old chapter 2 battle pass menu/lobby, and maybe the shadow vs ghost idea with only having one style available.

Outside of playing with my friends I spent way more time on Lego Fortnite than playing solo on zero build. Even then I only played Zero Build long enough to get a quest or two out of the way. Love the TMNT collab though. Ton of free stuff and I get to goof around with the weapons. 🤔

Klarque is spitting facts we just want chaos and fun with friends with some story and lore of fornite

I think the top 3 things Fortnite lost the most is: Interactivity, Uniqueness, and Effort 🗣

One of the main things that has caused me to practically stop playing BR is the amount of little things that just cause me to have a love hate relationship with the game. If anyone wants the list of these “little things” then I’ll edit this comment but these “little things” are satan!

I started playing in C3-S1. My favorite was probably C4-S2. I loved the map and aesthetics! That was peak Fortnite for me. I liked Season OG and C3-S3 also. Would love to see a standard Fortnite version of Lego Fortnite.

I like chapter 5 rn and I don’t honestly think that Fortnite needs to change much at all from right now. But if I’m being honest I kind of want them to add back of Fortnite so that people stop being annoying about it.

Honestly it’s like a filler season all season 1s ever are like this

I wish they would have done something cooler with this season battle pass skins, bc all of them are so cool. But like, only Oscar, Valeria, Hope and Jonsey did something, and only Valeria did something after the arrival of the season, and it sucks becasue they are so cool. Hopefully the last event of the season is something cooler that involves all of them, and not just Valeria opening the pandora box because, again, only Valeria has been doing something all this season, and even tho the event will be cool, maybe it will just "happen". I would love that a lobby was assigned to go defeat one member of the society besides valeria, and once all are defeated, you go after Valeria just for her to open the pandora box. This is simple and even cliche but honestly o wish it gets at least somewhat interesting.

I disliked Fortnite for years, but suddenly the chapter that has the least Fortnite elements brought me in and I love it, I like this transformation. In the end people will be diverse and have different likes, you can't keep imaginary tabs for everything.

I feel like this new chapter is been relatively fun. It does have its moments though. The movement on the games does feel better than it first did but if there gonna have us run slower they need to give us unlimited sprint. I find myself tip toeing most of the match because im out of sprint. The attachments were a great idea but should be implemented in the lobby (similar to cod). The reason i say that is because theres not enough mod benches except where the bosses are and nobody is going out of there way to mod there weapon. Ballistic shield (im sure alot would agree) doesnt need to be in the game. BR is still fun for me. Its just at a stale point right now

in a future video can u address how since there is a new chapter every year it doesn't feel as important anymore

This is what I wished happened 0:22 - 0:40 I think I am not blinded by Nostalgia, but I just miss the old days of fortnite

All valid points. The current queueing system kills me. I cant lean if Im dead. And I shouldnt have to sit in a trainer map for 6 hrs a day. Logging in gives me ptsd tremors.

Fortnite DOES NOT need the realistic vision that epic is trying to give it.

I think that chapter 5 is not the worst season objectively but epic needs to upgrade some aspects of chapter 5 in general like the UI, the locker or the weapons balance. They will figure this out trough chapter 5 like for pumps during chapter 4. The graphics are good but it's missing 1 bit of color in general. And last but not least this season is a bit too long and they were more focused on the other modes. Even if chapter 5 doesn't start very well for everybody I still agree that at some point this chapter will be amazing as chapter 2 3 or 4 were in there own way. Thanks for the video and for the one's that reads this comment and are not subscribed to Klarque WHAT ARE YOU DOING SUBSCRIBE NOW!😂

Remember this game has a better live service than arguably 99% of live service games we have it good ok

the issue for me is the loot pool why the hell does my shotgun either blank or hit 34
