Shame about the delay but the variety of stuff being added is totally making up for the weak seasonal events we've had
 
New content is cool, update is ruined by the fact that jetpacks are still in the game though. Can they please vault this OP movement garbage?

AIM. LOOK UP. SHOOT.
Jetpacks have been in the game on and off and I've never had any "op" issues with killing people who have them. The auto-turret backpack item thing you can get though this season is a little frustrating but not as BS as being lasered by a 1 star gun while the enemy just completely tanks your headshots for some unexplainable reason. if "movement" is your problem then cares are much more op in that regard because you got practically a partial invulnerability+ super fast compared to jetpack where it's just "you are in the air and can shoot downwards/boost for a bit". Guess what got slightly buffed and the nerfed into "why even use them" last season aside from the speed factor which also got kinda fucked? Yeah, cars. the whole gimmick of the last season became USELESS and killed my motivation to even deal with it.That combined with me getting sick for a few weeks led to me just not completing the battlepass for the first time in a while, and I'm still kicking myself over that because of the neon skeleton guy I missed out on. I missed a chunk of this season and yet I'm already at the point you get shit like mysterio without insane levels of grinding compared to the last two. Might be a combo of movement and combat being a little more hectic with some other factors like tweaking stuff while messing around in creative mode actually giving you XP again. Haven't won yet even in zero build this season weirdly, get pot shotted last second every time in weird ass ways.

Cars seem a little bit better again this season unless they get nerfed again. It's funny how a good way of checking is running people over at top speed and see if it actually damages them or just does a little pip of damage, or if cars actually destroy small objects or just get stuck in them forever. I FUCKING HATED last season at some points because of the car nerfs. I'd get the boss car after fighting with some rando who tried potshotting me while doing a story quest to get it. And then when I ACTUALLY FINALLY GET IT, the second I leave the area it just got stuck on geometry of some small destructible railing. And then on another.and then it just got somehow wedged in the indestructible geometry of the world in a way that in other seasons you could just boost out of, so I had to abandon it. GREAT FUCKING CAR GIMMICK SEASON GUYS!

Bring back the police car next time I con't give a shit that you removed it because of Floyd I want to spam the alarms to let the people looking for me to kill me where I am in a way that doesn't mark me on the map again.
 
i watched someone play fortnite recently, did it always have some stupid gimmick power up that turns you into a monster and gives you the instant W over the rest of the players?

also its crazy how "merchy" it all looks, you have basic guns but then you have some item from like the MCU or a lightsaber that is so OP over the regular shit. its bizarre.

It's got a flashier animation but it's not usually OP unless they really fuck things up. Most of the times I've used crossoverpromo weapons they've been underwhelming half the time but still cool enough thati pick them up when I run into themor if they have some kind of movement bonus, melee weapons in fortnite tend to be powerful so that the standard melee pickaxe isn't the only thing players have to use at the tradeoff of an item slot, and items that have a large range of effect tend to take a good chunk of time hanging while charging to the point someone can just shoot you dead while you're using them.

As for "merchy" crossover stuff ,you're late to that by a few years. They had an insanely large crossover event thing like a year or 2 back, maybe 3? They put out little arg promo audio recordings for each character that showed up during it hinting what was coming. There's still shit like that but a lot of it happened already,which leads to funnyschizo tier shit like cel shaded rick and morty and DBZ models next to hyper realistic models of ash from evil dead and indiana jones, and then vaguely fortnite stylized or realistic or cel shaded marvel characters. It's funny because the capeshit stuff unlike most of the output nowadays is the stuff people actually like, like dr.doom/cable/galactus/xmen type shit.


I hope at some point now that cel shaded marvel shit's on the table to the point one of the new BP skins is one, that they add shit like "spiderman the animated series" skins given the last 2 years or so has had a weird rise in tie in merch to that several decade old show IRL that sells freaky well.
My reason?I want to scream into the mic about being the REAL green goblin
Also he's got that cool double layered glider thing.

Thank god, normal BR is a lot more enjoyable now.

Are you talking about the Dr Doom powerup? This was grossly overpowered but got removed after a couple of weeks.

And the merchy shit is a common complaint even amongst regular players, nobody really likes the OP crossover items and the capeshit needs to fuck off entirely.

Especially all the capeshit; gotten tired of seeing superheroes and villains everywhere, honestly. Frankly, it's part of the reason why I ended up tapping out this season; after Wreaked ended up being shockingly boring - how the hell do you make Mad Max dull? - I just wasn't in the mood to deal with capes.

I do hope the 2nd OG Season does well, though. Same with Chapter 6; heard the first one is supposed to be Japanese-themed, interestingly, though given some of the recent survey leaks, it might end up being another capeshit one as well. We'll just have to wait and see.

Severe nerfs due to comp build mode players complaining about cars being "op" because the upgrades actually did something to counter build spam/camping lmao. Same shit that happens to explosives or literally any form of mobility every few seasons when they become useful again. Had fun the first day that season was up but then i was sick for most of it and they nerfed the shit out of the cars by the time I could play again.


As shit and buggy as the doom event ended up being and the oversaturation of the capeshit untied to the standard crossover lore shit they already have had going I really like the ambience of the doom/latveria themed areas. Tried seeing if I could find uploads of the sounds that are in the background in them but instead I found this montage of lore shit that for some reason was called a music video

On week left on the chapter. While this season is not my favorite iteration of the Chapter 5 map, Doom Castle is a beautiful point of interest to explore.
 
Pretty good season. Second best this chapter, only beaten by the first season. Shop skins have been good, and some cool originals have been added but the rotation sucks. I'm still going to deduct half the score because it is a Marvel Season. Looking forward to the next chapter and the gimmicks this time around. Hopefully they keep the good movement they've added, like using kits while walking, and being able to climb buildings. Remix will be interesting and I'm looking forward to Snoop's Festival. Shame they've given up on Rocket Racing, but as much as I like it, I can't play it for more then a couple hours at a time because it gets old fast.

My biggest fear about Fortnite's future; switching BR to UEFN hurts it's creativity with the limitations. I play a fair amount of UEFN content, mostly out of boredom and curiosity, and I've yet to see anything that wow'd me. GRANTED... UEFN content is pure fucking Pajeet Roblox AI copy n paste slop that prays on using over used player "engagement" traps.. BUT at least it's not trying to get me to buy a gamepass for 5 dollars to fucking sprint.

it is sort of crazy how fortnite is its own ecosystem now, literally like that one game in Ready Player One. you have every genre, including random concerts, all in one game. players can even create their own shit. I would have never guessed it would get so huge, the building gimmick sort of sucks overall the TTK is rather high, and there's maybe a dozen weapons at most, with most people using the same 4 at any one time.
 
So they've announced that progressing Lego, Music and the normal BP will be synced with XP progression, meaning that if you play BR you'll also progress your Music and Festival pass.

Honestly, I'm ok with this dumbing down because having to play multiple fucking gamemodes to progress everything was always time consuming.
 
Few days late, but apparently, Kamala Harris is trying to use Fortnite to get votes:


Anyone got thoughts on this?

Part of the reason the MLK fortnite thing was so funny was it was supposed to be a serious thing they made to honor him and not a "GO VOTE FOR THE GOOD CANDIDATE THAT ISN'T ORANGE MAN YOU LOVE MEMES RIGHT?!?!!!!" People still played the minigames and ead the little blurb shit on top of the shitposting they did in t hat map with the dancing int he washington monument pool and then the whipping black skins after the moderation banned dancing. The reason people even bothered going to the BLM thing to throw paint pellets into the guy talking's mouth is because it was an area off to the side in a gamemode where you could do other goofing off type shit and was severely out of place.

I have a feeling this will make it a hellgrind again because the XP cooldown being tied to all modes instead of each mode means I won't be able to complete the fucking battlepass again like last season before this doom one. I hate half the rewards are now in a fake "bonus" section so you have to do 3 pages to get the bonus rewards. It's been like that for a few seasons now since they introduced the car game mode but it's still painful
Also disney is apperently in talks with epic trying to strongarm fortnite now into making it so their characters can'tbe used in the gun having gamemodes to add extra anti-gun stupidity into a third person shooter . YOU CAN TAKE MY JACK SKELLINGTON SKINNED DEAGLE FROM MY COLD DOUBLE DEAD DIGITS!
Seriously don't take away my pumpkin kings ability to bust a cap it's funny.

EDIT: Should probably mention this season I haven'tplayed as much as I aimed to similar to last season, but unlike last season they seemed to tweak XP gain so it now gives you XP while messing around in creative and int he lego gamemode a bit more. Most XP Igot this season literally was just from fucking around in those while half awake and I'm like already to the green bonus skins despite playing less than I did last season. Also got a lotless victories in BR this season than last ones and the one I did get the opponents died via thatthing where they shoot each other at the same time and both die as I was heading over to kill them.

OG Season 2 Remix feels so good. People are understandably mad about the changes, but the old map, the weapons... sheer perfection.

You have no idea how good it feels to pick up a weapon and not have to worry about it having a shitty sight after Chapter 5's weapon mod bullshit.
