Why is fortnite killing them self

[Hypoxz]

Why is fortnite killing them self it’s dying cuz they add trash..... I don’t get this

[iLostMyXbox21]

Fortnite can’t kill itself because it is not sentient

 

 

 

 

and considering how bad the game is, I wonder if the developers are sentient either

Because there are better games.

The last couple of patches have been kinda decent, but honestly, Epic is just desperate at this point. Look at today's patch notes, they are literally everything the community has been asking for for the past 6 months. Hell, they are even giving away next seasons battle pass for free to make sure that people don't quit Fortnite for Apex.

BR games generally don't seem to have a very long lifespan compared to other competitive multiplayer games.

 

Remember DayZ? It was so huge for a year or so. Then PUBG came along and wiped the floor with it. Then in a year or less (or so it seems to me) PUBG became the distant 2nd place to Fortnite. Now Fortnite is loosing steam as well. 

 

It's just the way things go when you have only one real game mode and little variation in how they're played.

 

EDIT: Every CoD/Battlefield game seems to be actively played for at least 1-2 years, and would've probably had a longer lifespan if Activision/EA got their heads out of their behinds and actually worked on making each game good instead of just mass producing them every year. LoL and Hearthstone still going strong. Counter-Strike too.

 

All these games got a lot of variation in how you can play, including things like singleplayer campaigns, many different heroes to choose from, games vs bots, etc.

iirc, there was a battle royal dayZ mod, and the developer of that mod (PlayerUnknown) went off and turned it into a real game on its own (h1z1) and then became pubg

 

 

not sure if I’m right, but I think that’s what I was told a while back

I think it was an Arma3 mod, and not DayZ.

Oh oof. Either way lmao

We live in a world of ADD.  No gaming companies can hold people's attention for longer than a few months... This is not really a new thing. That's why COD and Halo always had to release new games every few years even though the gameplay was almost the same or stuff they could have changed with simple downloadable content.

Agreed, everyone wants the latest and the greatest. I also don't blame them for that behavior. Games today don't have the quality they used to have.

 

I do miss the days where released games were finished products and didn't require 6 month or more to patch it to an acceptable level.

Yeah I agree, people get bored of games fast because it takes so long for the publisher to patch the game. I just don't buy many games anymore since it sucks to pay $60 for a game then have to wait for it to be enjoyable with the content you paid for in the first place.

Most battle royale games are way overhyped, the only one I've had fun with is Apex Legends.

[_elliot_]

im enjoying fortnite but what is annoying is how they add new stuff in every week i would love some time to get used to the new update but then as soon as im getting used to it A NEW UPDATE it kinda pisses me off but what is good is that apex legends is a new game so not everyone is a pro like fortnite and bo4 is good aswell coz with apex legends and bo4 you can find scopes for guns where fortnite u find guns and that is how they are for the whole game.

Nah, those games are pretty fun and intense. You don't have to be a fan of BRs (I'm not) to see that.

 

I'm more annoyed by how trendy it has become to hate on BR. Adult people thinking they're awesome because they make fun of children who enjoy Fortnite. Ugh.

They way I look at it is they were expecting at least 6 more months maybe a year of crazy cash from fortnite to roll them smoothly into the epic store for the long term, and that's been cut a little bit. 

[imreloadin]

Good, hopefully they continue and it takes their stupid store down with it...

weird flex but ok

 

I just don't like BRs because of cheaters and toxic playerbases I mean the games seem fun but where's the fun on getting oneshotted by a cheater on the other side of the map.
