![]() ![]() The problem with Brutes was not that they were hard to defeat, but rather people were told they were hard to defeat I am far from a professional Fortnite player, but I destroyed 100s of Brutes while only being killed by them half a dozen times at most during the entire season. Please understand the “loud few” are not bad people, and they genuinely think their experiences and opinions are the only ones that matter a prime example of this was the introduction of Fortnite Brutes, thanks to a few streamers known for being poor losers and their very vocal fanbase Epic repeatedly nerfed the Brutes before disabling them all together well before the end of the season. ![]() Stripping back the loot pool to a much smaller selection of items was the right choice to begin chapter 2, but ever since Epic has continued to vault the majority of items at the end of each subsequent season while this does help to keep gameplay fresh, it also strips away the “meme factor” that made Fortnite Battle Royale what it is.Įpic Games, despite what the loud minority cry, have always tried to appease the most vocal aspects of the community, many of whom are found on r/fortnitebr. Towards the end of chapter 1, Fortnite Battle Royale had a serious issue, the loot pool was flooded, and the wide array of items made balancing a near-impossible task, with some items being overpowered and others barely functional in a competitive setting. While lower-end hardware cannot reach the visual or performance limits of higher-end consoles/PC, Fortnite allows people to play together and experience all it offers in a platform agonistic environment.Īs the first title to offer full crossplay between all major gaming platforms, it has continued to enjoy phenomenal growth, well beyond the average for the genre in December 2020, over 15.3 million concurrent players took part in an event to defeat the evil Galactus, with over 3.4 million more watching via Twitch and Youtube. I would love to see more developers embrace this philosophy in the future.įortnite Battle Royale is the first Battle Royale to offer an optional monthly subscription.įortnite Crew subscribers receive a monthly cosmetic set, 1000 vBucks, and free access to the premium battle pass.įor most people, this subscription is not good value for money however, for those who frequently purchase skins and vbucks, being able to subscribe for a single month at the start of a new season and receive 1000 vbucks, a skin set, and access to that season’s battlepass for only £9.99 is good value for money.įortnite is easily accessible to a wide audience thanks to its support for all 8th and 9th-generation consoles, PC and Android Devices. Appealing Visuals:įortnite Battle Royale has a unique style that is so distinct it has become almost an aesthetic in its own right with many similar games being accused of ripping off Fortnite or utilising “Fortnite-like characters”, this phenomenon is nothing new, and previously, many titles were accused of ripping off Overwatch (and many did!) during its heyday.įortnite is colourful, fun, innocent and a little cheeky, and I can think of no better aesthetic for a title that enjoys an audience of all ages, from preschoolers to baby boomers and beyond.įortnite Battle Royale has always been a very diverse game, offering a wide selection of skin tones and style options since its earliest incarnation this diversity has only grown as time has gone on and now includes various body types, skin tones, cultures and even species.īeing able to play as a character you feel represents you is very important to a large percentage of gamers, and while I am personally happy to spend my days as a giant banana, not everyone will be, and being able to play as a character that represents your personality goes a long way towards sustained engagement,+ it’s a win-win for everyone involved. Fortnite is one of the most influential games in history, and it is almost singularly reponsible for battle passes that “pay for themselves”, free seasonal content updates, and cross-platform multiplayer becoming industry norms.
