Why do I even bother with this industry when the most popular thing are zoomerscore garbage like this and gacha
The numbers are fake retards. They're desperately trying to paint a picture that Fortnite is still alive but it's clear to anyone with a brain the game has been losing money fast.
>t. zoomer that doesn't realize he's fighting bots half the time he plays
If they can pull that, imagine how easy it is to convince tards these numbers are real
>bots pay for the season pass
yeah mate I think you are seething, coping and malding here, go back to play your anime gachashit or DOTARD or whatever slop you think is real gaming, that wont make Epic money less real ; )
no but inflated player counts entice investors like sony to keep pouring money into the game you braindead fuck
when the fuck has epic ever given a shit about profit on the consumer end? the EGS is literally shilled TO developers with guaranteed sales and bigger cuts and shit.
>they can't fake a queue time
Lol. This is how easy it is to convince people that the game is alive again. Create a narrative little zoomies will spread with word of mouth.
We back yall! We going home! Just look at how slammed the servers are! We definitely not fighting bots for 20 minutes each game!
The game uses bots now. Queue up for a ranked match and you'll have to stay in matchmaking for a few minutes while it gets players.
In normals, you are pretty much guaranteed to have a certain percentage of the lobby be bots, and it's very obvious when they are.
The sheer amount of bots killed the game for me, it's cool that ranked doesn't have it but it's too sweaty for my friends so I'm just orphaned out of the game.

I’m not saying it’s impossible, I’m saying it’s more likely that the player counts are real. Fortnite is consistently the most played game on PS and Xbox even before this update.
Why are zoomers so retarded? It's not just the generation gap between other people. They are honestly cognitively dysfunctional drones with 0 foresight in anything. It must have been all the additives in processed garbage they ate and drank while growing up turned them into vegetables like this. Imagine thinking this game doesn't have any bots.
They've been using bots in the battle royale mode for the last 3 years; which was the last time I tried to play the game since they added the no build mode shit
Also, try to use the xcloud version of the game.
I've never seen it higher than 40 minutes of wait time, but someone on /vg/ showed a queue of over four hours.
Even if Epic is supposedly faking their numbers and putting up a fake queue, I doubt they could get Microsoft to join in on such a retarded plan.
Even if that is the case there’s still nothing that even comes close. I don’t know why Ganker is so shocked, during 7th gen we all mocked call of duty fans for eating up that shit in droves and this is no different
This is literally the same as COD during the 360 and ps3 era, they're all teenager kids buying the game because they've seen their favorite youtubers playing it.
If parents didn't allow their kids to play pegi 18 games, all of these games will cease to exist because they would lose like 70% of their sales.

Gacha actually killed sexy designs before the puritans. It was around the time Fate/Grand Order blew up in popularity so ecchi games figured it would be better in terms of possible money gains if they also went mobile like Fate
always have.
The 'coomer' demographic isn't real, they're classic gamers whose balls haven't been burned off by HRT. the sexless world we live in is extremely unnatural.
Zoom zooms have the least sex in history compared to every generation that came before them. They are put on hormone blockers since birth and castrated before puberty and those that aren't are utterly demolished by depression treatment drugs.
the reason these games are popular is simple
they are free to play and receive consistent updates
if pokemon ever adapted this formula, it would completely break the internet, .... oh wait, it DID do that with go already
imagine how much craze there would be for a mainline pokemon game that is available for free and is updated regularly and is monetized differently, maybe through cosmetics or something
it honestly blows me away, things like this and especially gacha/loot boxes are such blatant garbage I’d never touch yet they are incredible successful
Why does it matter to you? I mostly play niche games that will never achieve mass popularity. Something like Fortnite being wildly popular has no effect on my enjoyment of the medium.
Genshin and other are pretty bad without the girls.
It just looks nice and has nice visuals otherwise.
Games need tobhave cute girls again and uncensored stuff to be good again.
ah yes, the more people who enjoy thing indicates the level of quality and craftsmanship. hence: mcdonalds, marvel movies, big bang theory, game of thrones, mustangs, iphones, ps5s.
For boomers who are unaware this is the answer. It's a weird zoomer socialization thing. They just sit in non-combat rooms, get ultra-customized expensive character skins or paraphernalia and do repetitive tasks like jumping around or just talking of equally unintelligible zoomer interests. From my experience joining these as a millennial, the ones on TF2 are very autistic and mentally ill, while the Fortnite ones are more like your typical bottom of the barrel zoomer normies. Personally, i wish they just joined old school MMOs instead, but those were glorified chatrooms as well for many.
only boomers and millenials are crying because is not about muh VN/cooming like BG3, a walking simulator/cinematic experiences like RDR2/God of war or "art" like Disco elysium
It's funny how much Gankerermin hate fortnite because it's pure gameplay.
here's an obsessed freak who burned his balls off, now.
Fortnite is a chatroom with shooting you out-of-touch boomer. The vast, vast, vast majority of the players play the trivia game modes, the RP gamemodes, you only think of it as the shooting portion because you're pic related and you've never launched the game or tried it in your life.
it's as retarded as saying Garry's Mod was 'pure gameplay' because you saw a picture of someone building a bridge in it once.
Fucking retard, you can literally see what people are playing, no one fucking bothers with creative slop except people that farm XP or are box fight autists. Party royale which is the groomer chatroom has 3k players
>I heard they will remove zero build soon, that alone makes me avoid the game
That's not true, there were some rumors early on that Zero Build wasn't going to be in the current season, but that has proven to be false.

Lots of people came to the game when zb was released (like me), I still can’t build for shit, I would definitely play less or even stop if they removed zb.
>looting and walking is not gameplay, you must aquire items by though alone and teleport anime style everywhere! >why is there looting and walking in a fucking battle royal game OMG help me naggerman im mentally crumbling!!! aaaaaiiieeeeeeeeeee!
Its mostly gameplay but its also mediocre if not bad gameplay, its a TPS with more walking around, looting and waiting than anything meaningful action going on. This describes all Battle Royale games by the way, its just a shit genre
>He was obsessed with gambling mechanic in games and told me how he can't stand single player games
He's not wrong about single-player games being shit.
Is that the best example you can bring up? The best games ever made are ALL singleplayer, the only issue is that basically none of them were released in the last decade
>Is that the best example you can bring up?

Huh. That's weird.
>1 minute and 44 seconds >man this gonna be good >the video is actually speed up
The first time I saw this webm I was laughing so hard I couldn't catch my breath, I have no doubt in my mind someone died while watching this live.
Unironically, it became a skill game. Especially in the early days, COVID made basically made a whole lot of the top go to the equivalent of the Hyperbolic Time Camber, and it took the skill celling so high so fast that a lot of people started dropping the game because they couldn't keep up.
>COVID made basically made a whole lot of the top go to the equivalent of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber
Kek.
Yeah, I can't stand build, I'm far more comfortable at long and mid distances, and build makes every fight into a close range shotgun fight because they can just put up wall after wall and rush towards you with little recourse.
Ganker is a Fromtranny board. the only games that objectively deserves all good reviews and sales are the endless dark souls rehashes continuously regurgitated by From Slopware.
Who cares? The game is literal multiplayer cartoony trash lol. Do you have an inferiority complex for playing it or something? >it's populsr so it's good
Pathetic.
Fortnite is funnily enough the EXACT thing that Ganker should be all over >pure gameplay >constantly being updated with new content that makes things fresh >a shit ton of attractive female character designs unlike other Western devs >massive skill ceiling >easily the least amount of woke propaganda pushing than any other major Western game
Yet this board endlessly dismisses it. I was on the Fortnite hate train for a while too and now I play it all the time. The game is genuinely great
I was talking video games with a 20 year old zoomer coworker and holy shit you guys have no idea how horrible their taste are in video games. He was obsessed with gambling mechanic in games and told me how he can't stand single player games
>He was obsessed with gambling mechanic in games and told me how he can't stand single player games
He's not wrong about single-player games being shit.
What is the OG shit? Did they bring back old world plus only the old weapons without all the new shit? Might actually give it a try if it is similar to 2017
Yeah, the map is a mash up of different parts from chapter one, and the loot pool is all chapter one stuff, which is awful to me. The game had insane bloom on everything but snipers until chapter 3, where we started getting the FPS guns.
yeah but it will never really be the same. I suck ass at that game now, and quit around 2019 but when it first came out I could actually win games. Now it's impossible and every 12 year old plays it 10 hrs a day and is a god. It was fun through season 2 or 3, then it became too competitive and lost it's appeal
to be fair I think if I had free games like this when I was a kid I'd be pretty happy, instead of trying to get shit like world of Warcraft to work on my horrible family PC after begging my parents to buy it for me and pay for the subscription, plus I'm sure you'd have more friends to play this free game with
yep, and in 5 years they will be nolstagia pandering to alphas, and 10 years after that to betas. I'm afraid more people will continue to be born after you've outlived your usefulness
>remember the good old days when all we did was sit at home playing video games? Then covid happened and all you could do was sit at home playing video games.
To be fair, it was the golden age of Trump's presidency. >no wars >booming economy >no covid >zoomercore games like fortnite and minecraft are at the peak of popularity >twitch at its peak too >no tiktok, so their attention span wasn't completely ruined yet, and they hadn't been brainwashed and demoralized by groomers/algorithm yet
Life was great for a zoomer at this time.
all the player ath numbers in games are always gay and fake, just in fornite and global offensive you can spot bot right away because of their behaviour, im also pretty sure epic pays people in poor countries to play the game 24/7, such is the case of the anonymous clan of fornite, clearly real player but they are online all day all days and there is around 100 of them
they have to be fucking fake, you jump in right now and you're going to fight like 70% fake players, 20% real retarded players and 10% overtuned tryhards that already have dozens of wins. theres not a chance in hell the game actually has these kinds of numbers with how fucked up the lobbies are, anyone falling for this shit clearly hasn't even touched the game
>they can't fake a queue time
Lol. This is how easy it is to convince people that the game is alive again. Create a narrative little zoomies will spread with word of mouth.
We back yall! We going home! Just look at how slammed the servers are! We definitely not fighting bots for 20 minutes each game!
>t. zoomer that doesn't realize he's fighting bots half the time he plays
If they can pull that, imagine how easy it is to convince tards these numbers are real
How many players are bots tho?
>HIGHEST NUMBER COUNT EVER >2/3rds of every lobby I'm in are just robots
Bots only appear on accounts with fresh or low mmr, you fags all outted yourselfs as either barely playing or being complete 5th percentile shitters
>barely playing
That is fare, I barely play because im an adult with a life and want to play other games and not sit in my moms basement and play Fortnite 9-5.
Nope. Even in ranked you need to get past gold before bots stop showing up.
What I assume you are thinking about are bot lobbies, which are for account below level 10, and are populated only by bots.
When you have a low MMR your games are mostly filled with bots (the first match you play is something like 98 bots 2 humans iirc), and that percentage slowly decreases as you get better at the game
>NOOOO YOU CANT ENJOY FORNITE BECAUSE....BECAUSEEEEEEE YOU JUST CANT OKAY SWEETIE?
this clearly show how most retards on Ganker dont have any friends, you dont play zoomernite alone, is not fun to play solo im a 39 yo old boomer and I enjoy me some fornite after work just to literally dab on my dead enemies and wear wacky outfits that doesnt make sense, is pure retard kino and hating it is just a sign you are terminally alone.
you get bots in all fucking multiplayer games you alcholic fetal syndrome retard, you just hate gaynite because it rakes in cash by doing the minimum effort possible and that assblast your elitist little mind
This. Imagine being nostalgic for breath of the wild, for example. Lmao wtf is wrong with zoomers, the attention span deficit really fucked with their perception of time
I've been playing it on and off for about a year but I just can't get into some seasons, they're very hit or miss. I respect them always changing things up but I can't really treat it as a comfort game because of that.
The only thing i miss about 2017 - 2018 Fortnite is getting banned from Steam forum of another game i play for telling the main dev he should get over his Fortnite addiction and update his house own game. It was funny witnessing normalfags losing it over babies first videogame addiction.
I think this Fortnite OG event really proves how powerful Nostalgia is, Im 40, I never played Fortnite until like Chapter 3 when my nephews finally convenience me to play with them. Ive played off an on since so I have a good feel about the base game, but now everyone is coming back to OG like it so much better when, its not. It absolutely worse in every way, the lack of swimming, the low ceiling with not much vertical space, the dull area design. Modern fortnite is legit better, but all the zoomers are pretending its a better experience.
The OG graphics really weirded me out, they have this smudgy unpolished look that doesn't fit the modern visuals. Also the gameplay is just plain worse and there's no reason to ever go back to it outside the nostalgia season gimmick.
the gameplay is better imo because there's a lot less heals and broken mobility items, so any damage you deal is actually worth it. In the modern map I always felt like if I didn't catch the enemy in a bad spot and finished them quickly up close they would just fly away and heal, so engaging from far was meaningless
The map is worse though, it needs to be smaller and more dense to fix the pacing
I also hate rifts but at least they aren't recharchable and they still expose the player using them to free damage while falling. Even more importantly, the damage you deal to them won't be easy to heal because of the scarcity, so you've actually increased your chances of winning later on even if you didn't finish them off
I started in chapter 1 season 5, played until season 7, and I hated it, but it had crossplay and my friend is an xbot.
I came back chapter 2 season 7, and if the saucers weren't in, I might have dropped it again, but generally it seemed better than before.
Chapter 3 was a massive boost, and I played that shit solo because the weapons actually (mostly) shot where I aimed instead of having the ridiculous bloom of old fortnite guns.
Chapter 4 was an unfortunate wet fart that only got worse every season, but I had 90+ hours in C4S1.
You seem to have ignored the term "active" bud. Do you know how easy it is to create a smurf on LOL or Val? I wager that the average Val homosexual has 3-4 idle accounts

Yeah this is the shit that I'm referring to. Companies like Blizzard and Riot have been known to exaggerate their numbers for years. Yet homosexuals will still believe in their made up stats
I don't like 'high stakes' PvP games (Battle Royale, Extraction shooters etc), which is why I'm annoyed that they abandoned Save the World in the horrible mess it is right now.
This is so unfathomably fake it's funny.
If 45 million people played Fortnite all at the same time it would have been a massive cultural event. You're talking about a little over a quarter of the USA's population and only 22 million under the UK's entire population.
Anyone who believes these numbers is retarded. I could maybe see this happening whenever Fortnite was at peak cultural relevance, but it's just a dying fad now.
Yeah sorry, saying 'at the same time' didn't make sense. I was still talking about daily players. I genuinely doubt Fortnite even gets near 5 million anymore.
I still play the game actually so you can post Timmies all you want, but I can tell it's a lie based on the ever shrinking number of people who give a shit about the game anymore.
did you know that the Earth has like, uhhh 200 countries besides the israelitesa and englad right? brasil alone is 200 m and so its mexico and other big Hispanic lands, which love playing fornite because its free and low requisites, you are just pulling shit out of your ass now, mutts love making everything about them and using their retarded crumbling country as metric for all things.
>bought the founders pack >I get free V-bucks by just playing the game >don't have to pay a single cent for skins >don't even care about BR, only play it to get some battlepass skins for the STW mode
I fucking wish they would bring back that 50v50 mode, that was the only game-mode I enjoyed.
I liked working on a big team which culminates in a massive cluster-fuck.
>F2P all the zoomers go for their skins so they can line up and do dances on a wall while everyone shows the ass of their skin
yeah, I know exactly what people are doing in this game and it's not battle royale lol
i imagine most of these naggers are using it as VRChat lite, they've obviously counted people just launching it once or w.e
I tried Fortnite years ago and the gameplay was absolutely retarded, the meta revolved around building huge fucking misshape towers to avoid being shot while also shooting and trying to destroy your opponent's ugly misshapen tower.
It must be true what the babies here are saying about chatrooms and RP modes because I can't imagine anyone enjoying that shit.
They added a zero build mode a while back and I've almost exclusively played that since.
Fuck building.
Though now on the chapter 1 map zero build is somewhat questionable on account of how many wide open spaces it has.
Can someone actually explain to me why people have this insane hateboner for Fortnite?
I personally never played it and don't have a desire to so I just don't get what is it about a battle royale with some quirky skins or whatever that boils the piss of so many people
At first it's because it's a lot of kids playing Fortnite, so it got the same stigma that WoW had back in the days in which only kids played it.
Now it's a mix of that and cultists VaIvedrones still seething about Timmy.
I just told you. A super popular game that's popular with kids, the exact same reason WoW was hated so much back in the days. Same reason Justin Bieber was hated.
People love to hate on popular mainstream stuff.
Combine that with the fact Valve has a lot of cultists fans that HATE epic because of the epic store.
Wrong. Since Ganker is the contrarian capital of the internet, all the kids that wanna be different come here to shit on Fornite. It has nothing to do with Pcbros.
No matter what, every thread will be flooded with absolute twats that have a very surface-level understanding of the topic and will actively bring down the quality of discourse with sheer stupidity and ignorance.
I wouldn't mind actual critique but it's simply not what happens on Ganker, people just grab one narrative and run with it.
On Ganker, it's because it's popular and caters to pop culture. For normalfag boomers, it's because the skill ceiling has exceeded autistic levels and they get shitted on by a zoomer who can build a hotel faster than they can shoot them, though this has been slowly alleviated because of no-build modes.
It wasn't realistic games, videogames that are trying to look like movies or just western games in general? No it must be the colorful, mostly gameplay oriented game that is the cancer destroying videogames, the only absolutely bad thing about Fortnite is that its a game as a service game, its an innoffensive mediocre game otherwise.
I played it and beat it when it was in early access. I would rather play new games than reinstall a game I already beat for the sole purpose of ruining little kids fun so that I can dress up like a banana the next time I ruin little kids fun.
>youre supposed to enjoy a fuckhuge empty world where everyone is ten minutes away from eachother unless you go to x or y location
yeah and maybe its just a shitty game
i tried it once and at the height of its popularity i was throw into a completely full of bots match, there were a grand total of 5 real players, I realized it was a scam and that they made up player numbers then quit
>play one game >beat someone to death with a pick axe >shoot a guy >run around >die >feel nothing at any point because it's boring >uninstall
Accounts under level 10 are put in bot lobbies, where the only other enemies are bots or other people also in bot lobbies.
Though as someone who uses an exploit to get into bot lobbies to do quests and have a more relaxed experience if my friends aren't on, the chances of running into another human in a bot lobby is very very low.
As soon as you get into real games you run into the exact other end of the spectrum however, the autism spectrum that is.
I did play it for two seasons in 2019
got bored, maxing out the pass with various daily tasks and achievements or whatever they were called felt like a chore more like jumping in to have fun
don't feel like going back
I legit get panic attacks from multiplayer games, I can only play TF2 because there's at least 11+ other players to fill in the gap and nowadays there's an expectation players may be unable to communicate.
It's way past over, video games are too popular
they will now make only shit that appeals to the average human consumer and we know how average humans have really poor taste and low intelligence
This would have been correct if someone said it in the 6th gen with Halo, GTA, CoD and other assorted western garbage took over the market, saying it right now its a bit too ironic since videogames and the industry are generally unrecognizable.
>filler season gets attention simply by virtue of being advertised as a back-to-basics throwback instead of the convoluted shit with massively cringey lore they've been doing lately
that's pretty much it
Or even playing good games instead of shitnite.
We could bring back Unreal Tournament, Tribes and Quake back to life. We could revive golden niche stuff like Primal Carnage or Dino D Day.
That's fine, I'm happy children are still able to find enjoyable games that cater to them.
I'm playing games that I enjoy instead.
I see no reason we can't both be happy. I'm not happy at all, I wish I was dead. Life is so meaningless but no matter what I do nothing changes it, I've tried everything from getting pets to paying to be set up on dates with people who are supposedly good matches for me but it always ends in nothing. Recently I've even tried the meetup app thing and I've gone to a few meetups, nobody seems to hate me but even I as the socially awkward one has to be the one to start all the conversations and keep things going, people always tell me they appreciate that I do it, but I haven't made any friends or relationships and I'm so miserable having to go when I have to be the one that keeps things running despite it not even being my events. God I'm so depressed, why is life like this? Why am I seemingly being punished despite doing all the right things, when people around me are doing all the wrong things but are able to seemingly be happy and have fulfilling relationships?
Maybe if I was a zoomer I could just play shitty BRs and be happy though.
>Play game >Easily win first game >Find out its a bot game >uninstall and never go back
I hate when people baby you like this, it causes trust issues.
How can I consider any of my victories real if I know they manipulate things to give you the false feeling of achievements?
If I hate battle royale is there any reason for me to play this game? I heard they have expanded to other modes but idk enough about the game. I think the last time I played was like the first year it released
I don't think so.
Zero build made it so the game became more about shooting than rushing forward while leaving a city in your wake, but it still has the issues inherent to any BR in that you will spend some amount of time looting.
If you seek fights, then you'll find them, but sometimes you might still run into half a match where you just find traces of other people but you've missed everyone until the last circles.
I recall once in Apex, which I only played for about two weeks when it first launched, that I won a game without once seeing another person.
Across 725~ hours of fortnite, that has only happened once.
This thread is dishonest.
When we made fun of fortine we made fun of the culture surrounding it not the game itself.
Fortnite the game is fine. It's a mildly hardcore shooter with sexy chicks and a very original on the fly building system.
We make fun of Fortnite the same way we make fun of Minecraft or the new Zeldas. They aren't bad games, it's just that a significant portion of their players are retards who don't know anything about anything. Same with CoD, LoL and a few other games.
Even BG3 is almost in the same bucket. It's a perfectly mediocre RPG with good dialogue. But it's overwhelming popularity dictates that most of it's fans are normie fags who are only in it so they can say "the cake is a lie" tier references to their normie friends because gaming is popular now.
Some of my friends' kids are wild about this recent season thing with the old map and stuff. They've been having sleepovers and playing the entire night, TVs and consoles next to each other. It's kind of nice to see, even if they don't need to do that since can see each other online, they still want to hang out in-person like we did back in the day.
I don't like Fortnite, but glad they have something they enjoy.
Either Tim Sweeney has ramped up spending beyond what even Fortnite can provide or they're fibbing about the numbers, whether that be MTX numbers or the playercount.
>Tim Sweeney has ramped up spending beyond what even Fortnite can provide
40% of the profit from fortnite in the last quarter was spent on the creative mode, because Timmy wants to be the next Roblox metaverse, but it is dogshit, and unless they give more freedom to the creatives, it will never be Roblox.
You can't even add new weapons to the game, you can't make it first person unless it is some janky solution that isn't a real first person mode, and you can't put skins on players, because they don't want you to be able to wear something you didn't buy.
>GUYS LOOK AT THE COMPLETELY NOT MADE UP NUMBERS OUR GAME IS SO SUCCESSFUL REALLY IT IS COME PLAY WITH US
I will never fall for this bullshit, not with baldurs gay not with slopfield and not game made for toddlers. There's nothing stopping companies from just making up a bunch of bullshit and selling that story to the public. They could even throw bots in the mix and claim those are real players. Anybody who listens to companies trying to sell their game is a retard.
Pretty sure they would risk collossal lawsuits from investors.
It's like saying companies could simply lie about earnings. It's technically true but nobody does because the damage it would do to their reputation among investors and regulators is far too great a risk.
>no med mist, slap/chug splash, jump pads, rocket ram/brooms, vehicles beside golf carts, which are not only rare but suck ass anyway, augments, vaults, mythics, rails and more >worse drop rates >worse map (by far) >the worst battle pass in years >lasts a month
I was looking forward to the OG season as much as anyone, I played Fortnite on launch, but now that it's actually here I have to say it's a massive downgrade in every way for Zero Build. Movement fucking sucks, you'll spend ages running around a map with no verticality and little cover and you can barely get around without a golf cart; your healing options are worse, a lot of the micro-game is just straight-up gone and the game's basically just been dismantled of most of its fun features.
It's an odd case where nu-Fortnite is just leagues more fun to play, to the point where this feels like fucking garbage in comparison. It should have been a week-long event at best.
I have to agree, at least as a zero build player. The map is extremely sparse because they wanted you to build in these long stretches of field and stuff, but the lack of detail and foliage and the like also adds to how empty it feels.
Most based take in the thread.
I played during C1S5, and I dropped the game within a few seasons, only getting back in much later, and only actually enjoying the game when they added in guns that weren't dogshit.
They will be updating the map weekly, I think. Check the trailer. There will be planes and those hoverboards. I assume other things will be added
I was around for the planes, and I'm looking forward to them, unless they are retarded and the heavy sniper is also out at the same time.
Never used the hoverboards, so I'm hoping they are as fun as they sound.
Apparently at some point tomato town was replaced, and since this map is a mash up of different seasons, it is the later temple area instead of the town.
Gacha only became popular because of cute girls.
Genshin and other are pretty bad without the girls.
It just looks nice and has nice visuals otherwise.
Games need tobhave cute girls again and uncensored stuff to be good again.
A gacha that I play and enjoy for the gameplay is Snowbreak: Containment Zone.
Right now they are doing a beach island event (despite it being fucking November) so I'd recommend it if you like third person shooters with powers.
I've only sunk about $20 into it, but most of that comes from play credit and not real money.
PC version is good now, but the multiplayer is still kinda jank feeling. On my phone it's not bad, but you really do need a controller if you plan to do anything that is even a little hard.
Why do they hate UT so much. Devs that toss away the franchises who made them what they are today, all because they found a cash cow to milk, are fucking scum
>check the /vg/ fortnite general thread >COPE LATELET JIT TRIPPIN I'M SUCH A FURGOD I GOT KILLED BY A SHOTGUN TRANNIES TRANNIES TRANNIES THIS SEASON SUCKS I WANT TO BE A GIRL SO BAD I HATE MEN
/vg/ was a mistake.
I only pay attention to the threads at the start and end of the seasons, when people are actually talking about the game and less about other shit.
Right now we've got a genshin tranny, and we've had the furfags for as long as I've been there.
We swap out schizos somewhat often, and it has been worse.
It is a bit over 10% of the entire US for a game played across the world.
Not shitting on you, but most people generally don't think about how large the world is.
The US has a population around the entire EU iirc, and driving from coast to coast is about 28 hours I think.
My home state of Ohio is larger than 44 counties in europe by population, and for landmass, it is larger than 40 counties.
I wonder if they're really brazen enough to count bots towards that number, because there's bots everywhere. No, it's not tied to MMR, it's in every non-ranked game.
I don't really like battle royales, there's too much dead time, but I never really understood the energy people put into hating fucking Fortnite just for being popular and having silly crossovers. Or throwing so much bile at Gen Z/Gen Alpha for the crime of existing or having goofy slang.

How come zoomers love the kind of games Ganker pretends to love?
I know from experience that the only "good" people in fps games straight up cheat or exploit bad level design.
the other 1% who are actually good know real military tactics and just dab on people. did I just type dab? I want to kill myself. (despite this fortnite thread, I am not a zoomer)
For comparison, Counter Strike 2 had 400,000 players yesterday and Call of Duty MW2 and 3 combined had 85,000 on PC. How the fuck is it even possible that 44 million people were playing at once?
We got a number one Victory Royale

Anyone else notice the sharp uptick in "game is good because it has a lot of players" arguments are more and more third world countries started getting internet?
>the company that is losing money and cannot compete with steam is surely not lying on social media! that would be illegal for it to happen! lying on the internet...
Think about it that way - Fartnite contains all those retarded zoomers that would normally plague your favourite MP games. You don't want to have zoomer retards in your games, right?
impressive number. did any game ever before beat that? roblox? gta V, minecraft and some nintendo games might have a larger install base but with that many people in a single day? games as a service and eventually metaverse really are the future... god I hate zoomers
Roblox has 66 million daily users https://ir.roblox.com/news/news-details/2023/Roblox-Reports-First-Quarter-2023-Financial-Results/default.aspx
Call of Duty has 70 million https://www.tweaktown.com/news/92194/call-of-duty-has-70-million-daily-active-users-more-than-roblox/index.html
>44.7million players throughout the day >Only 102 million hours played
The math doesn't add up.
It's like people go in, play a round, and decided to just quit.
>WHOA, FORTNITE, JUST LIKE A REMEMBER IT! >land >end up in bot lobbies because they haven't played in longer than six months or they are on a new account >this is too easy and the guns feel like shit >log out
Alternatively, they go in, see builders putting up the tower of babel while someone else is building their own and see the height of buildtism and decide not to play more.
If they go zero build, then this map is shit for it, and you spend way too much time walking from place to place because cars are gone, leaving golf carts, shopping carts, or movement items which are limited.
Who cares?
If millions of people like fortnite, good for them.
If millions of people like genshin impact, good for them.
I'm still not going to play them
>there's now unironic Fortnite shills doing it for free on Ganker
Called it last year, now watch how they attack me "ironically" with chad memes of how it's totally cool to play Fortnite and so on.
Almost double of game pass subs
>1 fucking game
It's over
The numbers are fake retards. They're desperately trying to paint a picture that Fortnite is still alive but it's clear to anyone with a brain the game has been losing money fast.
TWO MORE WEEKS SIRS FORTNITE IS DYING!
>t. zoomer that doesn't realize he's fighting bots half the time he plays
If they can pull that, imagine how easy it is to convince tards these numbers are real
>bots pay for the season pass
yeah mate I think you are seething, coping and malding here, go back to play your anime gachashit or DOTARD or whatever slop you think is real gaming, that wont make Epic money less real ; )
no but inflated player counts entice investors like sony to keep pouring money into the game you braindead fuck
when the fuck has epic ever given a shit about profit on the consumer end? the EGS is literally shilled TO developers with guaranteed sales and bigger cuts and shit.
I’ve never seen queues in Fortnite several days after a patch. If they’re faking it they’re doing a good job backing it up with evidence.
>they can't fake a queue time
Lol. This is how easy it is to convince people that the game is alive again. Create a narrative little zoomies will spread with word of mouth.
We back yall! We going home! Just look at how slammed the servers are! We definitely not fighting bots for 20 minutes each game!
meds
>We definitely not fighting bots for 20 minutes each game!
This is exactly what I want though
The game uses bots now. Queue up for a ranked match and you'll have to stay in matchmaking for a few minutes while it gets players.
In normals, you are pretty much guaranteed to have a certain percentage of the lobby be bots, and it's very obvious when they are.
The sheer amount of bots killed the game for me, it's cool that ranked doesn't have it but it's too sweaty for my friends so I'm just orphaned out of the game.
These are queues to login, not get into a BR
I’m not saying it’s impossible, I’m saying it’s more likely that the player counts are real. Fortnite is consistently the most played game on PS and Xbox even before this update.
Why are zoomers so retarded? It's not just the generation gap between other people. They are honestly cognitively dysfunctional drones with 0 foresight in anything. It must have been all the additives in processed garbage they ate and drank while growing up turned them into vegetables like this. Imagine thinking this game doesn't have any bots.
They've been using bots in the battle royale mode for the last 3 years; which was the last time I tried to play the game since they added the no build mode shit
Also, try to use the xcloud version of the game.
I've never seen it higher than 40 minutes of wait time, but someone on /vg/ showed a queue of over four hours.
Even if Epic is supposedly faking their numbers and putting up a fake queue, I doubt they could get Microsoft to join in on such a retarded plan.
Even if that is the case there’s still nothing that even comes close. I don’t know why Ganker is so shocked, during 7th gen we all mocked call of duty fans for eating up that shit in droves and this is no different
This is literally the same as COD during the 360 and ps3 era, they're all teenager kids buying the game because they've seen their favorite youtubers playing it.
If parents didn't allow their kids to play pegi 18 games, all of these games will cease to exist because they would lose like 70% of their sales.
>I-IT WAS BOTS! THEY'RE FAKING NUMBERS! STOP THE COUNT!
discord tranny mad?
>free2play game you can play on your phone
>$15/month subscription requiring a $300 console or a $2000 pc
yeah no shit
1 game vs 400+ games
>$300 console
Cheaper than a phone
Not my phone.
I think my sisters are the only people in my immediate family who have phones more expensive than $300.
Most of them are just bots farming shit.
>tsk, bad news for Steam. Better deflect this to Microsoft.
what does those 2 things even correlate to one another
Halo 3 was bigger than fortnite in its heyday and that only got to 2 million. It's fake.
Why do I even bother with this industry when the most popular thing are zoomerscore garbage like this and gacha
don't forget female 3d meshes are no longer allowed to be attractive outside of gacha
>Coomers have better taste than "Real" gamers
Funny
Gacha actually killed sexy designs before the puritans. It was around the time Fate/Grand Order blew up in popularity so ecchi games figured it would be better in terms of possible money gains if they also went mobile like Fate
always have.
The 'coomer' demographic isn't real, they're classic gamers whose balls haven't been burned off by HRT. the sexless world we live in is extremely unnatural.
>sexless world we live in
nigga what
Indeed, zoomers are statistically the most sexless and friendless generation of all time. Why did you think otherwise?
Zoom zooms have the least sex in history compared to every generation that came before them. They are put on hormone blockers since birth and castrated before puberty and those that aren't are utterly demolished by depression treatment drugs.
>Sexless world we live in
nagger have you consumed literally any piece of media made in the last 8 years ???
>the sexless world we live in
>he say this while every single popular chinks gacha on the market is safe horny and censored trash
what are you doing looking at chink shit anon?
Its everywhere on Ganker
go for korean and japanese gacha, retard
They aren't allowed to be attractive in gacha either. Only Akira-esque blobs of tit and ass allowed.
it's 2023. if the success of mobile games like candy crush and clash Royale or whatever didn't set off that flag for you, you're part of the problem.
the reason these games are popular is simple
they are free to play and receive consistent updates
if pokemon ever adapted this formula, it would completely break the internet, .... oh wait, it DID do that with go already
imagine how much craze there would be for a mainline pokemon game that is available for free and is updated regularly and is monetized differently, maybe through cosmetics or something
it honestly blows me away, things like this and especially gacha/loot boxes are such blatant garbage I’d never touch yet they are incredible successful
fortnite has no lootboxes or gacha whatsoever, are you lost?
>this AND gacha loot boxes
learn to read man
This and gacha have nothing in common, what point are you idiots even trying to make?
it's about them being shit games that a lot of people enjoy esl
Why does it matter to you? I mostly play niche games that will never achieve mass popularity. Something like Fortnite being wildly popular has no effect on my enjoyment of the medium.
not gonna make it fag
Gacha only became popular because of cute girls.
Genshin and other are pretty bad without the girls.
It just looks nice and has nice visuals otherwise.
Games need tobhave cute girls again and uncensored stuff to be good again.
>This triple A slop popular with kids stops me playing the thousands of unique games that have been made
uh huh homosexual
ah yes, the more people who enjoy thing indicates the level of quality and craftsmanship. hence: mcdonalds, marvel movies, big bang theory, game of thrones, mustangs, iphones, ps5s.
Yes.
check back in a month
It's funny how much Gankerermin hate fortnite because it's pure gameplay.
>pure gameplay
lol, i can tell you've literally never touched the game you subhuman.
99% of the players are in the glorified fucking chat room portions
>glorified chat rooms
Just like TF2!
You ain't wrong and this is why I play Fortress Forever.
For boomers who are unaware this is the answer. It's a weird zoomer socialization thing. They just sit in non-combat rooms, get ultra-customized expensive character skins or paraphernalia and do repetitive tasks like jumping around or just talking of equally unintelligible zoomer interests. From my experience joining these as a millennial, the ones on TF2 are very autistic and mentally ill, while the Fortnite ones are more like your typical bottom of the barrel zoomer normies. Personally, i wish they just joined old school MMOs instead, but those were glorified chatrooms as well for many.
Good intel anon, thank you
I mean I don’t see the issue, I’m a boomer and I’d often see non combat players in Maple Story and Runescape, the chat was fun back then.
only boomers and millenials are crying because is not about muh VN/cooming like BG3, a walking simulator/cinematic experiences like RDR2/God of war or "art" like Disco elysium
Holy projection
here's an obsessed freak who burned his balls off, now.
Fortnite is a chatroom with shooting you out-of-touch boomer. The vast, vast, vast majority of the players play the trivia game modes, the RP gamemodes, you only think of it as the shooting portion because you're pic related and you've never launched the game or tried it in your life.
it's as retarded as saying Garry's Mod was 'pure gameplay' because you saw a picture of someone building a bridge in it once.
Fucking retard, you can literally see what people are playing, no one fucking bothers with creative slop except people that farm XP or are box fight autists. Party royale which is the groomer chatroom has 3k players
I heard they will remove zero build soon, that alone makes me avoid the game
>I heard they will remove zero build soon, that alone makes me avoid the game
That's not true, there were some rumors early on that Zero Build wasn't going to be in the current season, but that has proven to be false.
ok, let me know when the sexy skin is back so i will install
You just missed her, she was in the shop yesterday.
that's why i wont install until she is back
But you wouldn't know if she was back unless you were playing could use a Discord bot though if you wanted.
the thing is, every time people shilled fartnite with cool skins they were already off the shop so I never installed it lmao
Lots of people came to the game when zb was released (like me), I still can’t build for shit, I would definitely play less or even stop if they removed zb.
>no one fucking bothers with creative slop
>said picture has gamemodes with player counts higher than some entire game populations
dog i wish Halo MCC had 17k playing at any time.
halo is dogshit
The fuck is Fortnite even? I'm so confused.
Timmy wants it to be Roblox because that's what they were mainly losing players to
>"OG" gamemode is battle royale
do they really?
Yes, not only did they kill their roots, they buried it, along with UT, and shat on the grave.
Too casual for my taste. We went from Quake and UT to Fortnite, please understand.
anyone who says shit like this is always a shitter
why is that?
Most of the active playtime is just walking and looting shit.
>looting and walking is not gameplay, you must aquire items by though alone and teleport anime style everywhere!
>why is there looting and walking in a fucking battle royal game OMG help me naggerman im mentally crumbling!!! aaaaaiiieeeeeeeeeee!
Didn't read.
These games are just as shit.
you are a spiritual nagger : )
maybe make it so you can do something worthwhile while also walking around and looting.
But enough about just about every single BR and Tarkov.
Its mostly gameplay but its also mediocre if not bad gameplay, its a TPS with more walking around, looting and waiting than anything meaningful action going on. This describes all Battle Royale games by the way, its just a shit genre
Is that the best example you can bring up? The best games ever made are ALL singleplayer, the only issue is that basically none of them were released in the last decade
>Is that the best example you can bring up? The best games ever made are ALL singleplayer, the only issue is that basically none of them were released in the last decade
>zoomers think single-player games are shit because there haven't been any good single-player games since they could tie their shoes
Huh. That's weird.
>1 minute and 44 seconds
>man this gonna be good
>the video is actually speed up
The first time I saw this webm I was laughing so hard I couldn't catch my breath, I have no doubt in my mind someone died while watching this live.
i hate vtubers
>femoids cannot into spatial reasoning
I remember its rise years ago, Ganker thought it would flop because of the cartoon graphics in favor of PUBG.
>t's funny how much Gankerermin hate fortnite because it's pure cash shop fomo
ftfy
I remember the time when Ganker hated Fortnite when the second trailer dropped because they seethed over Penny being too fat.
WTF, She is PERFECT
dumb Ganker
It was from a different time.
It's just not fun to goon in anymore.
Fortnite stopped being a skill game in ch2.
What happened in Ch 2?
it got popular and normies found it
wouldn't make sense if i told you without you understanding intuitively so
Unironically, it became a skill game. Especially in the early days, COVID made basically made a whole lot of the top go to the equivalent of the Hyperbolic Time Camber, and it took the skill celling so high so fast that a lot of people started dropping the game because they couldn't keep up.
It became a building skill game, gunplay took a back seat at that point until no build.
>COVID made basically made a whole lot of the top go to the equivalent of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber
Kek.
Yeah, I can't stand build, I'm far more comfortable at long and mid distances, and build makes every fight into a close range shotgun fight because they can just put up wall after wall and rush towards you with little recourse.
Ganker is a Fromtranny board. the only games that objectively deserves all good reviews and sales are the endless dark souls rehashes continuously regurgitated by From Slopware.
I hate Fortnite because it’s popular, not because it’s pure gameplay.
Cool and all, but it doesn't say "unique" anywhere in there, ESL-kun.
Ganker hates it because it's mostly played by kids, and it spawns tertiaries from all the collabs it does.
Who cares? The game is literal multiplayer cartoony trash lol. Do you have an inferiority complex for playing it or something?
>it's populsr so it's good
Pathetic.
Fortnite is funnily enough the EXACT thing that Ganker should be all over
>pure gameplay
>constantly being updated with new content that makes things fresh
>a shit ton of attractive female character designs unlike other Western devs
>massive skill ceiling
>easily the least amount of woke propaganda pushing than any other major Western game
Yet this board endlessly dismisses it. I was on the Fortnite hate train for a while too and now I play it all the time. The game is genuinely great
new popular thing bad
>7 year old game
>new
fortnite is not a game it's a GAAS social experiment, kys
this
gameplay won
The only time I hear about fortnite is when they add another eceleb into the game
>run around bland generic empty fields looking for people to fight
>shoot 1 bullet at someone
>They build a fucking 5 star hotel
99.9% of which are retarded zoomers and literal children
This is the true.
I was talking video games with a 20 year old zoomer coworker and holy shit you guys have no idea how horrible their taste are in video games. He was obsessed with gambling mechanic in games and told me how he can't stand single player games
> He was obsessed with gambling mechanic in games and told me how he can't stand single player games
They did it the corporations won kek
>He was obsessed with gambling mechanic in games and told me how he can't stand single player games
He's not wrong about single-player games being shit.
Why isn't graffiti a crime?
Much like stealing, it is but catching the person who did it is hard
it's cultural you racist bigot
I don't think that's how spray cans work
What is the OG shit? Did they bring back old world plus only the old weapons without all the new shit? Might actually give it a try if it is similar to 2017
something like that, but its only for a month
Yeah, the map is a mash up of different parts from chapter one, and the loot pool is all chapter one stuff, which is awful to me. The game had insane bloom on everything but snipers until chapter 3, where we started getting the FPS guns.
yeah but it will never really be the same. I suck ass at that game now, and quit around 2019 but when it first came out I could actually win games. Now it's impossible and every 12 year old plays it 10 hrs a day and is a god. It was fun through season 2 or 3, then it became too competitive and lost it's appeal
>this thread again
guess it's time for yet another epicjeet shill wave huh
>i need to hate the game because... ITS POOOOOOOOOOOPULAR AND PLAYED BY CHILDREN
to be fair I think if I had free games like this when I was a kid I'd be pretty happy, instead of trying to get shit like world of Warcraft to work on my horrible family PC after begging my parents to buy it for me and pay for the subscription, plus I'm sure you'd have more friends to play this free game with
The era of the zoomer nostalgia bait is already starting.
yep, and in 5 years they will be nolstagia pandering to alphas, and 10 years after that to betas. I'm afraid more people will continue to be born after you've outlived your usefulness
>I'm afraid more people will continue to be born after you've outlived your usefulness
Not if I can help it
To be fair I think a lot of kids are going to be nostalgic for a time before they had three years of their life taken away from them
>remember the good old days when all we did was sit at home playing video games? Then covid happened and all you could do was sit at home playing video games.
lmfao, retards BTFO.
Who the fuck is nostalgic for 2018
12 year olds from 2018 are now 18 years-old going to college
>12 year olds from 2018 are now 18 years-old going to college
Fuck.
im nostalgic for 2016
i was playing csgo with my friends and shitposting on /misc/
When things are rapidly getting worse than ever before I think it's fair to be nostalgic about 2018.
me
2018 was a much better year than 2023.
All jokes aside I COULD understand having nostalgia for pre-pandemic.
To be fair, it was the golden age of Trump's presidency.
>no wars
>booming economy
>no covid
>zoomercore games like fortnite and minecraft are at the peak of popularity
>twitch at its peak too
>no tiktok, so their attention span wasn't completely ruined yet, and they hadn't been brainwashed and demoralized by groomers/algorithm yet
Life was great for a zoomer at this time.
As q Quake Live and Dinosaur sim games player, how does this actually affect me? Fortnite is irrelevant to me.
I play with my newphew's last night and ran into so many more bots than normal. I am 100% these numbers are fake.
all the player ath numbers in games are always gay and fake, just in fornite and global offensive you can spot bot right away because of their behaviour, im also pretty sure epic pays people in poor countries to play the game 24/7, such is the case of the anonymous clan of fornite, clearly real player but they are online all day all days and there is around 100 of them
>Chink game
>Cheating on everything
You don't say
they have to be fucking fake, you jump in right now and you're going to fight like 70% fake players, 20% real retarded players and 10% overtuned tryhards that already have dozens of wins. theres not a chance in hell the game actually has these kinds of numbers with how fucked up the lobbies are, anyone falling for this shit clearly hasn't even touched the game
>
dogshit game
Bots only appear on accounts with fresh or low mmr, you fags all outted yourselfs as either barely playing or being complete 5th percentile shitters
>barely playing
That is fare, I barely play because im an adult with a life and want to play other games and not sit in my moms basement and play Fortnite 9-5.
>I have a life
>Therefor I dont play much vidya
And yet he posts on Ganker in a thread about a video game he doesn't like
I like fortnite though. What are you talking about?
Nope. Even in ranked you need to get past gold before bots stop showing up.
What I assume you are thinking about are bot lobbies, which are for account below level 10, and are populated only by bots.
When you have a low MMR your games are mostly filled with bots (the first match you play is something like 98 bots 2 humans iirc), and that percentage slowly decreases as you get better at the game
Well no shit you get bots, you playing with a child. Also really fresh accounts get bots aswell do you don’t get shit on playing
No thanks i'm still playing Planetside 2
>NOOOO YOU CANT ENJOY FORNITE BECAUSE....BECAUSEEEEEEE YOU JUST CANT OKAY SWEETIE?
this clearly show how most retards on Ganker dont have any friends, you dont play zoomernite alone, is not fun to play solo im a 39 yo old boomer and I enjoy me some fornite after work just to literally dab on my dead enemies and wear wacky outfits that doesnt make sense, is pure retard kino and hating it is just a sign you are terminally alone.
don't worry, /v will call it kino in a decade or so, like how they did with Minecraft
and yet you still get bots in matches
dogshit game
you get bots in all fucking multiplayer games you alcholic fetal syndrome retard, you just hate gaynite because it rakes in cash by doing the minimum effort possible and that assblast your elitist little mind
>Fortnite has been around for 6 years
>cashing in on the nostalgia from kids that remember it
>those kids are all grown now
Feeling old, bros...
>having to point out how many players shitnight has
dead gaem
I honestly had no idea so I decided to check and
>2017
Why are zoomers shitting themselves over something that launched barely 6 years ago?
This. Imagine being nostalgic for breath of the wild, for example. Lmao wtf is wrong with zoomers, the attention span deficit really fucked with their perception of time
Just me or did 2012-2017 feel a lot longer than 2017-2022? Was it covid?
it's called aging.
I started playing a year ago. Still very fun
I've been playing it on and off for about a year but I just can't get into some seasons, they're very hit or miss. I respect them always changing things up but I can't really treat it as a comfort game because of that.
>the way the bitrate tanks when the car starts flying
If Gankereddit didn't know the name of this game they would be praising it as GOAT.
The only thing i miss about 2017 - 2018 Fortnite is getting banned from Steam forum of another game i play for telling the main dev he should get over his Fortnite addiction and update his house own game. It was funny witnessing normalfags losing it over babies first videogame addiction.
What game was it?
But why? It's literally a filler season that only lasts a month and has no new content because they ran behind schedule for the actual new season.
Nostalgia, which means we are back to dogshit weapons and the old map.
I'd rather go back to chapter 2 with season 3's lootpool.
>zoomers loves eating slop
I haven't played Fortnite enough to realize the map kept changing.
I think this Fortnite OG event really proves how powerful Nostalgia is, Im 40, I never played Fortnite until like Chapter 3 when my nephews finally convenience me to play with them. Ive played off an on since so I have a good feel about the base game, but now everyone is coming back to OG like it so much better when, its not. It absolutely worse in every way, the lack of swimming, the low ceiling with not much vertical space, the dull area design. Modern fortnite is legit better, but all the zoomers are pretending its a better experience.
The OG graphics really weirded me out, they have this smudgy unpolished look that doesn't fit the modern visuals. Also the gameplay is just plain worse and there's no reason to ever go back to it outside the nostalgia season gimmick.
The only plus with OG is the lack of the cheese mythic weapons that they have been shoving in recently.
the gameplay is better imo because there's a lot less heals and broken mobility items, so any damage you deal is actually worth it. In the modern map I always felt like if I didn't catch the enemy in a bad spot and finished them quickly up close they would just fly away and heal, so engaging from far was meaningless
The map is worse though, it needs to be smaller and more dense to fix the pacing
t. started with chapter 4 with friends
But they still just run, rifts and portable rifts are plenty.
I also hate rifts but at least they aren't recharchable and they still expose the player using them to free damage while falling. Even more importantly, the damage you deal to them won't be easy to heal because of the scarcity, so you've actually increased your chances of winning later on even if you didn't finish them off
Epic and Legendary/Mythic weapons became way too common.
>Im 40
Hngghhh come play Fortnite, I'll give you as many virtual blowjobs as you want and talk dirty on voice for you daddy
no
I started in chapter 1 season 5, played until season 7, and I hated it, but it had crossplay and my friend is an xbot.
I came back chapter 2 season 7, and if the saucers weren't in, I might have dropped it again, but generally it seemed better than before.
Chapter 3 was a massive boost, and I played that shit solo because the weapons actually (mostly) shot where I aimed instead of having the ridiculous bloom of old fortnite guns.
Chapter 4 was an unfortunate wet fart that only got worse every season, but I had 90+ hours in C4S1.
You sure it's not 40 gorllion players?
STEAMIEBROS.... OUR RESPONSE??? WE CAN'T LET TIMMY WIN
Steam had nearly 70 million daily users in 2021 and has only grown since. You okay Timmy?
That's kind of embarrassing honestly.
Damn that makes Epic look even worse. Sad.
>created accounts and not active users
You seem to have ignored the term "active" bud. Do you know how easy it is to create a smurf on LOL or Val? I wager that the average Val homosexual has 3-4 idle accounts
yes bro and people totally dont smurf in cs/dota
whats your point retard
What will you cope about next?
>across all Runeterra titles
reminder that riot considers someone who's launched two games of theirs to be two users
Yeah this is the shit that I'm referring to. Companies like Blizzard and Riot have been known to exaggerate their numbers for years. Yet homosexuals will still believe in their made up stats
>180 million in a month vs 45 million in a day
This does look bad but not for Fortnite.
Monopoly
I don't like 'high stakes' PvP games (Battle Royale, Extraction shooters etc), which is why I'm annoyed that they abandoned Save the World in the horrible mess it is right now.
Save the world was never good
Shit is great, a gorillion flies/non-whites can't be wrong
This is so unfathomably fake it's funny.
If 45 million people played Fortnite all at the same time it would have been a massive cultural event. You're talking about a little over a quarter of the USA's population and only 22 million under the UK's entire population.
Anyone who believes these numbers is retarded. I could maybe see this happening whenever Fortnite was at peak cultural relevance, but it's just a dying fad now.
They’re saying that was the number of players in a day. The concurrent player count was around 5 million.
How many players are bots tho?
Yeah sorry, saying 'at the same time' didn't make sense. I was still talking about daily players. I genuinely doubt Fortnite even gets near 5 million anymore.
I still play the game actually so you can post Timmies all you want, but I can tell it's a lie based on the ever shrinking number of people who give a shit about the game anymore.
did you know that the Earth has like, uhhh 200 countries besides the israelitesa and englad right? brasil alone is 200 m and so its mexico and other big Hispanic lands, which love playing fornite because its free and low requisites, you are just pulling shit out of your ass now, mutts love making everything about them and using their retarded crumbling country as metric for all things.
You know the US has like 325~ million people, right?
flappy bird sisters, we're so back
>bought the founders pack
>I get free V-bucks by just playing the game
>don't have to pay a single cent for skins
>don't even care about BR, only play it to get some battlepass skins for the STW mode
>pay money
you sure showed them
I paid like 30 bucks 6-7 (?) years ago and got my money's worth by far. STW is quite a fun game despite the mess it is.
>HAHA I'm addicted to the chink game and mentally forced to log in and waste time in it I'm so superior
and the frog keeps boiling
They stopped the free vbuck a while ago
You still get V-bucks if you're a founder.
50-100 V-bucks from daily missions and then randomly with alerts.
People keep forgetting you can play this slop on Android and iOS aside from PCs and consoles.
That explains a lot.
You can’t play on iOS
I fucking wish they would bring back that 50v50 mode, that was the only game-mode I enjoyed.
I liked working on a big team which culminates in a massive cluster-fuck.
play planetside 2 for zerg fights
I used to in the past.
NC for LIFE!
The game is filled with chinks, not surprising.
>F2P all the zoomers go for their skins so they can line up and do dances on a wall while everyone shows the ass of their skin
yeah, I know exactly what people are doing in this game and it's not battle royale lol
i imagine most of these naggers are using it as VRChat lite, they've obviously counted people just launching it once or w.e

KWAB
I tried Fortnite years ago and the gameplay was absolutely retarded, the meta revolved around building huge fucking misshape towers to avoid being shot while also shooting and trying to destroy your opponent's ugly misshapen tower.
It must be true what the babies here are saying about chatrooms and RP modes because I can't imagine anyone enjoying that shit.
>not playing zero build
They added a zero build mode a while back and I've almost exclusively played that since.
Fuck building.
Though now on the chapter 1 map zero build is somewhat questionable on account of how many wide open spaces it has.
Can someone actually explain to me why people have this insane hateboner for Fortnite?
I personally never played it and don't have a desire to so I just don't get what is it about a battle royale with some quirky skins or whatever that boils the piss of so many people
because it represents zoomer culture.
>le ZOOM
Write like an actual human being and then i might understand you
zoom zoom my little zoomer
Seethe more geezer
bro i turn 27 next month I'm not a geezer
Oof welcome to the old guy club
At first it's because it's a lot of kids playing Fortnite, so it got the same stigma that WoW had back in the days in which only kids played it.
Now it's a mix of that and cultists VaIvedrones still seething about Timmy.
But WHY is it hated specifically?
Is the gameplay bad? The monetisation? Progression?
it's the zoomer skin style and dances, encapsulates zoomer culture in their minds
honestly I don't like that shit either but the game is ok, and very easy to pick up and play with friends thanks to cross play and popularity
I just told you. A super popular game that's popular with kids, the exact same reason WoW was hated so much back in the days. Same reason Justin Bieber was hated.
People love to hate on popular mainstream stuff.
Combine that with the fact Valve has a lot of cultists fans that HATE epic because of the epic store.
I'm an early zoomer and speaking from experience, millennials and the like don't have any right to be the arbiters of what is "cringe" or not
Wrong. Since Ganker is the contrarian capital of the internet, all the kids that wanna be different come here to shit on Fornite. It has nothing to do with Pcbros.
i hate battle royales
No matter what, every thread will be flooded with absolute twats that have a very surface-level understanding of the topic and will actively bring down the quality of discourse with sheer stupidity and ignorance.
I wouldn't mind actual critique but it's simply not what happens on Ganker, people just grab one narrative and run with it.
My hate is very simple
I hate battle royale cancer.
Okay, I think it's fair to dislike a game on the basis of a particular genre you dislike.
But why puke blood and bile all over your keyboard at the mere mention of it then?
Because it "steals" players from less cancerous games people could be trying and learning instead.
>nooooooo you must play this obscure game instead! dont do what you want to do, do what I want you to do!!!
you sound like a neurotic narcissist
Fuck off homosexual. No one likes their favorite game to die.
and somehow that is fornites fault? lmao delusional fuck
On Ganker, it's because it's popular and caters to pop culture. For normalfag boomers, it's because the skill ceiling has exceeded autistic levels and they get shitted on by a zoomer who can build a hotel faster than they can shoot them, though this has been slowly alleviated because of no-build modes.
It's the heart of the cancer killing video games
It wasn't realistic games, videogames that are trying to look like movies or just western games in general? No it must be the colorful, mostly gameplay oriented game that is the cancer destroying videogames, the only absolutely bad thing about Fortnite is that its a game as a service game, its an innoffensive mediocre game otherwise.
a very high amount of gooners and groomers among FN community.
it's popular. just like minecraft, cod, among us, etc etc
>BR
>battlepasses
>MTX out the ass
>total art direction self-destruction
It's the embodiment of some of the worst trends in mainstream gaming.
it's the same people that thought constantly shitting on CoD made them interesting
Explain why YOU don't want to play Fortnite without sounding like you're coping
its only fun with friends
so is every game, cope

>feel nothing at any point because it's boring
>uninstall
I played it and beat it when it was in early access. I would rather play new games than reinstall a game I already beat for the sole purpose of ruining little kids fun so that I can dress up like a banana the next time I ruin little kids fun.
I tried playing it with friends before and none of us could get into it.
Also I don't want Timmy's spyware on my computer.
the building mechanics were stupid
>nobody plays that mode anymore
it was my intro into the game and i'm completely uninterested now.
Doesn't run on Linux
It's a boring game made for idiots. If you're not an idiot, you'll find it hard to enjoy the game.
third person shooters are inherently flawed
you can see around walls without being seen
That's not a flaw though. Fortnite is a video game not a tactical simulator. Having spatial awareness improves gameplay.
I'm perma b& and hardware b& for cheating in another game and forgetting to kill the process

You obviously did, that's why you died.
>youre supposed to enjoy a fuckhuge empty world where everyone is ten minutes away from eachother unless you go to x or y location
yeah and maybe its just a shitty game
Different people - different tastes, I guess.
i tried it once and at the height of its popularity i was throw into a completely full of bots match, there were a grand total of 5 real players, I realized it was a scam and that they made up player numbers then quit
Accounts under level 10 are put in bot lobbies, where the only other enemies are bots or other people also in bot lobbies.
Though as someone who uses an exploit to get into bot lobbies to do quests and have a more relaxed experience if my friends aren't on, the chances of running into another human in a bot lobby is very very low.
As soon as you get into real games you run into the exact other end of the spectrum however, the autism spectrum that is.
i dont like pvp shooters
if it had a pure pve coop mode, i would have played it
I don't get involved in F2P trash because I don't approve of the business model. The same with GAAS shit
I did play it for two seasons in 2019
got bored, maxing out the pass with various daily tasks and achievements or whatever they were called felt like a chore more like jumping in to have fun
don't feel like going back
groom teens
It's a BR. I will not elaborate further.
i would play Fortnite but no frens to play it with. I enjoyed the building skillcap when I played few years ago
I'm too old and arthritis is killing my right arm. It ain't for me, but I don't hate it. I'm in this thread to read seethe and look at funny pictures.
i don't like battle royals.
I get bored of it and stop playing, after I while I come back to it
but i do play, i just only play with my friends
I legit get panic attacks from multiplayer games, I can only play TF2 because there's at least 11+ other players to fill in the gap and nowadays there's an expectation players may be unable to communicate.
I don't like Battle royales, Also I like Unreal, not Fortnite.
Oh wow that's a lot of players.
How much money from all those sales?
At least double what a jannie makes in a year.
It's way past over, video games are too popular
they will now make only shit that appeals to the average human consumer and we know how average humans have really poor taste and low intelligence
>why are money driven businessess aiming at the biggest market portion OMG they should be thinking on us le hecking good taste weebs!
fucking mongo
>It's way past over, video games are too popular
This would have been correct if someone said it in the 6th gen with Halo, GTA, CoD and other assorted western garbage took over the market, saying it right now its a bit too ironic since videogames and the industry are generally unrecognizable.
There is this much intellectual trailer park trash on this planet?
I don't usually pay attention to zoomerslop, what happened?

Stop defending it. The game is a bot-filled mess.
>low skill
Which is 99% of the playerbase
>44 700 000 UNIQUE PLAYERS
that's not what that says
Are they ms next acquisition target?
Imagine if all those million work hours were put into something productive or meaningful instead of staring into a virtual world through a screen.
Or even playing good games instead of shitnite.
We could bring back Unreal Tournament, Tribes and Quake back to life. We could revive golden niche stuff like Primal Carnage or Dino D Day.
So proud to say that I've never played a minute of Fortnite and have zero desire to
whats going on there
Maybe people should get a job or find other hobbies, fuck. Fucking streamers sitting down for 9-10 hours day playing Fortnite is insane to me.
Not my thing but good for them.
it's what keeps the Epic Game Store alive.
That's fine, I'm happy children are still able to find enjoyable games that cater to them.
I'm playing games that I enjoy instead.
I see no reason we can't both be happy.
I'm not happy at all, I wish I was dead. Life is so meaningless but no matter what I do nothing changes it, I've tried everything from getting pets to paying to be set up on dates with people who are supposedly good matches for me but it always ends in nothing. Recently I've even tried the meetup app thing and I've gone to a few meetups, nobody seems to hate me but even I as the socially awkward one has to be the one to start all the conversations and keep things going, people always tell me they appreciate that I do it, but I haven't made any friends or relationships and I'm so miserable having to go when I have to be the one that keeps things running despite it not even being my events. God I'm so depressed, why is life like this? Why am I seemingly being punished despite doing all the right things, when people around me are doing all the wrong things but are able to seemingly be happy and have fulfilling relationships?
Maybe if I was a zoomer I could just play shitty BRs and be happy though.
>spoiler
Relatable. I have no real advice, but know that you're not the only one who feels this way.
>fornite "OG"
nah fuck off
OG fortnite is PVE where you farm resources for a half hour and then build a base and fight off escalating waves of zombies
BRs ruin every game they touch
apex and fortnite were both better as TF2 and save the world
You can still play save the world. It’s fun every once in a while.
>Play game
>Easily win first game
>Find out its a bot game
>uninstall and never go back
I hate when people baby you like this, it causes trust issues.
How can I consider any of my victories real if I know they manipulate things to give you the false feeling of achievements?
kids dont know and dont care. they think they are good so they keep playing.
it's a feel good game. that's why they give so much xp at all times. it's like cod in that way.
Crazy number.
I have only ever watched it a little bit and it looked like sth I wouldn’t enjoy so crazy to think a game pulls these numbers
If I hate battle royale is there any reason for me to play this game? I heard they have expanded to other modes but idk enough about the game. I think the last time I played was like the first year it released
I like the skins and playing in creative can be fun. I also make stuff though.
I don't think so.
Zero build made it so the game became more about shooting than rushing forward while leaving a city in your wake, but it still has the issues inherent to any BR in that you will spend some amount of time looting.
If you seek fights, then you'll find them, but sometimes you might still run into half a match where you just find traces of other people but you've missed everyone until the last circles.
I recall once in Apex, which I only played for about two weeks when it first launched, that I won a game without once seeing another person.
Across 725~ hours of fortnite, that has only happened once.
And the company is still bleeding money.
This thread is dishonest.
When we made fun of fortine we made fun of the culture surrounding it not the game itself.
Fortnite the game is fine. It's a mildly hardcore shooter with sexy chicks and a very original on the fly building system.
We make fun of Fortnite the same way we make fun of Minecraft or the new Zeldas. They aren't bad games, it's just that a significant portion of their players are retards who don't know anything about anything. Same with CoD, LoL and a few other games.
Even BG3 is almost in the same bucket. It's a perfectly mediocre RPG with good dialogue. But it's overwhelming popularity dictates that most of it's fans are normie fags who are only in it so they can say "the cake is a lie" tier references to their normie friends because gaming is popular now.
Agree with you but small fix
>We make fun of Fortnite the same way we make fun of Minecraft or Zeldas.
>popular game bad
Same nerds will soi-face over Dork Souls/Elden Cringe shit
Dumb zoomer
Some of my friends' kids are wild about this recent season thing with the old map and stuff. They've been having sleepovers and playing the entire night, TVs and consoles next to each other. It's kind of nice to see, even if they don't need to do that since can see each other online, they still want to hang out in-person like we did back in the day.
I don't like Fortnite, but glad they have something they enjoy.
Either Tim Sweeney has ramped up spending beyond what even Fortnite can provide or they're fibbing about the numbers, whether that be MTX numbers or the playercount.
>Tim Sweeney has ramped up spending beyond what even Fortnite can provide
40% of the profit from fortnite in the last quarter was spent on the creative mode, because Timmy wants to be the next Roblox metaverse, but it is dogshit, and unless they give more freedom to the creatives, it will never be Roblox.
You can't even add new weapons to the game, you can't make it first person unless it is some janky solution that isn't a real first person mode, and you can't put skins on players, because they don't want you to be able to wear something you didn't buy.
>GUYS LOOK AT THE COMPLETELY NOT MADE UP NUMBERS OUR GAME IS SO SUCCESSFUL REALLY IT IS COME PLAY WITH US
I will never fall for this bullshit, not with baldurs gay not with slopfield and not game made for toddlers. There's nothing stopping companies from just making up a bunch of bullshit and selling that story to the public. They could even throw bots in the mix and claim those are real players. Anybody who listens to companies trying to sell their game is a retard.
Pretty sure they would risk collossal lawsuits from investors.
It's like saying companies could simply lie about earnings. It's technically true but nobody does because the damage it would do to their reputation among investors and regulators is far too great a risk.

I was looking forward to the OG season as much as anyone, I played Fortnite on launch, but now that it's actually here I have to say it's a massive downgrade in every way for Zero Build. Movement fucking sucks, you'll spend ages running around a map with no verticality and little cover and you can barely get around without a golf cart; your healing options are worse, a lot of the micro-game is just straight-up gone and the game's basically just been dismantled of most of its fun features.
It's an odd case where nu-Fortnite is just leagues more fun to play, to the point where this feels like fucking garbage in comparison. It should have been a week-long event at best.
They will be updating the map weekly, I think. Check the trailer. There will be planes and those hoverboards. I assume other things will be added
Worst take ITT
I have to agree, at least as a zero build player. The map is extremely sparse because they wanted you to build in these long stretches of field and stuff, but the lack of detail and foliage and the like also adds to how empty it feels.
>a lot of the micro-game is just straight-up gone
so the game is better now, got it LOL
Most based take in the thread.
I played during C1S5, and I dropped the game within a few seasons, only getting back in much later, and only actually enjoying the game when they added in guns that weren't dogshit.
I was around for the planes, and I'm looking forward to them, unless they are retarded and the heavy sniper is also out at the same time.
Never used the hoverboards, so I'm hoping they are as fun as they sound.
WHERE IS FUCKING TOMATO TOWN. WHY IS TOMATO TEMPLE??????
Apparently at some point tomato town was replaced, and since this map is a mash up of different seasons, it is the later temple area instead of the town.
A gacha that I play and enjoy for the gameplay is Snowbreak: Containment Zone.
Right now they are doing a beach island event (despite it being fucking November) so I'd recommend it if you like third person shooters with powers.
I've only sunk about $20 into it, but most of that comes from play credit and not real money.
PC version is good now, but the multiplayer is still kinda jank feeling. On my phone it's not bad, but you really do need a controller if you plan to do anything that is even a little hard.
>blatant shill thread is still up
hey nagger mods, how much timmy's paying these days?
WAIT FORTNITE IS BACK? OHHHHHHHHHHHHH

It's bleeding money because they given all their revenue to community creators because Tim thinks he's gonna make Roblox 2.0.

this.
the most obnoxious homosexuals stacked in one place.
I only pay attention to the threads at the start and end of the seasons, when people are actually talking about the game and less about other shit.
Right now we've got a genshin tranny, and we've had the furfags for as long as I've been there.
We swap out schizos somewhat often, and it has been worse.
That's more than the entire population of my country. Are you sure about that?
It is a bit over 10% of the entire US for a game played across the world.
Not shitting on you, but most people generally don't think about how large the world is.
The US has a population around the entire EU iirc, and driving from coast to coast is about 28 hours I think.
My home state of Ohio is larger than 44 counties in europe by population, and for landmass, it is larger than 40 counties.
I wonder if they're really brazen enough to count bots towards that number, because there's bots everywhere. No, it's not tied to MMR, it's in every non-ranked game.
I like Fortnite's art style but I've never even come close to playing it. I haven't played any new games since around 2014
>44 700 000 UNIQUE PLAYERS IN ONE DAY ON FORTNITE
I think fornite is trying to pivot into another roblox which could work if they make better tools than what roblox have
I don't really like battle royales, there's too much dead time, but I never really understood the energy people put into hating fucking Fortnite just for being popular and having silly crossovers. Or throwing so much bile at Gen Z/Gen Alpha for the crime of existing or having goofy slang.
Shit's wiggity wiggity wack, son.
>they only played for an average of 2 hours

Even better, Ganker always pretends they are super hardcore and love skillful and mechanical games.
Ganker is really bad at video games, it’s honestly not surprising seeing how much you see people talk about how good they are.
This, one week after buying splatoon 3 i played with people from Ganker who had thousands of hours and they all sucked ass and were worse than me.
I know from experience that the only "good" people in fps games straight up cheat or exploit bad level design.
the other 1% who are actually good know real military tactics and just dab on people. did I just type dab? I want to kill myself. (despite this fortnite thread, I am not a zoomer)
Do any of you fags even want to play the game?
I play the STW mode
Same, it’s my favorite mode
Based, I hate the br, story is fun tho for chill. Wish there was less retarded screaming foreigners though...
>45 MIL PLAYERS
>102 MIL HOURS
Am i retarded or they played maximum 3 hours and left?
Or some people played an hour and some people spent all their waking moments playing it
Does 3 hours on average in a single day sound like too little to you?
MOGGED
And yet, I still have zero desire to play it.
I have never played it.`
And will likely never play it.
For comparison, Counter Strike 2 had 400,000 players yesterday and Call of Duty MW2 and 3 combined had 85,000 on PC. How the fuck is it even possible that 44 million people were playing at once?
It didn't say that they were playing at the same time
How many of those are chineese bots?

CHINA NUMBA WAN
Anyone else notice the sharp uptick in "game is good because it has a lot of players" arguments are more and more third world countries started getting internet?
B-but that can't be! Ganker SWORE to me that Fortnite was dying and Epic was on the brink!

Chinese players jumping in for that mandatory behavior bonus points so they don't have to go to prison and get tortured.
So I am one of the odd ones that have absolute zero attraction for fortnite. Why is that?
the og map sucks
I started playing Fortnite in May. I don't like this OG map.
I want the chapter 3 season 2 map back instead, now THAT was kino
I just wish we had c4s1 back. Now that was great.
The hammer was too good for this world, and the unnerfed hammer was pure as driven snow.
bet they included the bots
Its me or pistol are kinda..

I tough thoese were useless
Good thing there's free to play games like fortnite and league of legends to filter most of the kids and shitters out of my games.
It's very demoralising to me that trash like this makes so much money.

In all these years I never played fortnite and i barely know what it is about
They are full of shit. I doubt this many people even know some fortnite shit even exists.

Think about it that way - Fartnite contains all those retarded zoomers that would normally plague your favourite MP games. You don't want to have zoomer retards in your games, right?
Sounds like bullshit and a half, no way it jumped from 6M to that in 3 days, has to be counting bots or some other shit
In a day that many people played it, but the peak was only ever 5M.
ITT: Boomers and Millennials upset that zoomers like a game that isn’t 40 years old or gatcha shit
impressive number. did any game ever before beat that? roblox? gta V, minecraft and some nintendo games might have a larger install base but with that many people in a single day? games as a service and eventually metaverse really are the future... god I hate zoomers
Roblox has 66 million daily users https://ir.roblox.com/news/news-details/2023/Roblox-Reports-First-Quarter-2023-Financial-Results/default.aspx
Call of Duty has 70 million https://www.tweaktown.com/news/92194/call-of-duty-has-70-million-daily-active-users-more-than-roblox/index.html
cod numbers (40 to 50 million DAU) come from mobile version to clarify. not surprised about roblox though.
Fortnite was on mobile too before Timmy's dumb crusade.
>average playtime is 26 whole minutes
Why do people use random blogs posted by literal who's as a creditable source? Maybe I should start writing some.
So each player only plays for about 2 hours? That's weak
kindergarten, school, homework, playing outside... they must have a busy schedule.
>He still thinks Fortnite userbase is different from something like COD
I was joking, don't be so dense.
>44.7million players throughout the day
>Only 102 million hours played
The math doesn't add up.
It's like people go in, play a round, and decided to just quit.
ever played fortnite? you can get killed immediately when the round starts and then fast queue into another game. it's not a 1h cs go match.
The point still stands.
Game is so boring that people left after a few rounds.
>WHOA, FORTNITE, JUST LIKE A REMEMBER IT!
>land
>end up in bot lobbies because they haven't played in longer than six months or they are on a new account
>this is too easy and the guns feel like shit
>log out
Alternatively, they go in, see builders putting up the tower of babel while someone else is building their own and see the height of buildtism and decide not to play more.
If they go zero build, then this map is shit for it, and you spend way too much time walking from place to place because cars are gone, leaving golf carts, shopping carts, or movement items which are limited.
how can 45 million people play fortinite if there are only 8 million people in the world?

SER.
typed, fuck you sir
Who cares?
If millions of people like fortnite, good for them.
If millions of people like genshin impact, good for them.
I'm still not going to play them
They actually brought back the OG map? lmao it was so fun
>there's now unironic Fortnite shills doing it for free on Ganker
Called it last year, now watch how they attack me "ironically" with chad memes of how it's totally cool to play Fortnite and so on.
