Nobody does events like Fortnite.
And that explains the lag.

I don't get games like this but I understand why companies try to chase thesetype of titles. You only need one big hit and you rake in billions.
Yeah I don't think so. Even Apple's growth is mostly from services these days and the profit margin is much higher than on hardware.

It's kids playing the game.
The game doesnt appeal to me now, however if i was 12/13/14/15 i know i would be all over Fortnite.

So a mid twerking ho and weed grandpa are influencing in a game that is primarily kids... Great... I liked snoop back in the 90s when I was 16 but damn doggystyle is so not appropriate. I would of never played it with my folks around. It was more of a smoking weed with friends in our 70s styled black lights and couches, garage room music.
If they sneak it and listen fine. All part of growing up, but this ain't that. It's being promoted by the mainstream to kids. That just ain't right.
Also fortnite is shit. /end rant of middle aged man yelling at the sky.
Also I miss rock music. Im guessing that never gets played... Just like all modern racing games, no rock and metal allowed...

Metallica was a main feature band this year as well with an in-game concert, all band members skins, special items etc.. They vary the style.

Im playing this today because it's more mellow than Call of Duty my heart seems to be okay so far. That being said I'm not really digging this season unfortunately. They added so many great mechanics to the previous recent seasons and it's like all back to OG Simple Times and I'm struggling to stay interested. I played through all of those guns and cars and Maps back in the day I've been playing since like the second season haha I don't like going backwards in this unless it's like a limited time thing and this is for the full damn month.

That's cool then, although I wish there was newer bands getting the spot light. It seems like the most popular metal bands were around when I was a kid.
At least they are mixing it up. Playing the last need for speed game (heat) and rock and metal didn't exist.

I enjoy it since I've started playing chapter 5 season 2. I was getting sick of all the cars and items. It's only a month though. So far my favorite season was chapter 5 season 2.
I'm not very good at it though, being in my 40s I don't have the reflexes I used to have. I play more of a support role in our group of 4 (they're all 10 to 13) and they're pretty damn good. My son is becoming a beast.

All games are for kids, and this just happens to be the best MP game around.

My daughter was extremely good at the game but now that she's a teenager she has seemingly lost interest and is more into music drawing and reading and other things (which is great!) But it's weird not having her beg me for the battlepass anymore lmao.
This season just feels off to me... i feel like the textures are poor for some reason and I'm seeing a lot of graphical glitches in the terrain and stuff. To me it almost feels like a "B" team made this season and half ass upgraded old assets for this map etc.

I heard they made it entirely in the UE Fortnite Editor this time is probably why. Same exact thing people use for making the creative games.

Well if that's true that sucks and they shouldn't do that ever again

If Epic want to see success, they need to develop and sell a console - or anything that can produce hardware unit sales.Fortnite is not a console, fam.

It's nice to see how some things stay the same, even in this rapidly changing world. Snoop is still playing the same hits about smoking weed all day he played for almost 30 years, they're still dope, he still gets talented girl to dress and dance like hoes for him on stage and MILLIONS cheer him on for doing so. I honestly love it, embrace the degeneracy.

They always manage to keep players coming back, I guess you've got to give them props for that.
Of all the things you could say about Fortnite, you say the one that outs you as a 12yo.

To be honest I thought the same before playing with my son. The game is good though and it's a blast to play with people you know.

If you ever wanted to play an MP game Fortnite is the best out there. Heavily underrated on GAF.

This doesn't surprise me one bit. It's just after Christmas and all the kiddies are logged on playing Fartnite.

Cheeks Spread for Digital Only Future
I'm setting up a rig for my 12 yo niece next week just because he wants to play Fortnite on PC rather than PS.
I'm helping this shit spread
Another one succumbs. And at only 12 years old, so sad.
