NFT: Fortnite battle royal

LatHarv83 : 2/15/2018 2:46 pm
Anyone play this game? It’s really addictive even though I suck at it. I have never won, made it in the top 2 one time but that was more good fortune and just avoiding people. I’ve racked up a bunch of kills but never more than one in an individual game. It’s very fun. I’ve never been much for shooting games and I’ve taken a long break from video games in general before recently jumping back in, but this game is amazing. Free too
I enjoy battlegrounds more

but the concept of these games is pretty awesome. I suck too.
I’ve only been playing for a week

But some people are so good it’s insane. A couple guys have channels on twitch where they broadcast game play and these guys always win I just don’t get it, to be the best of 99 seems hard but some people are magicians.

Any time I get a kill I consider that game a win for me. I can’t fathom winning once at this point let alone consistently. I can’t build to save my life especially in a crucial spot. My aim sucks and I miss out on kills that should be mine all the time. I’m getting better though. It’s fun regardless
PUBG

is the coolest thing I've played in the last 10 years. Really fun. I can't believe how good some people are. I've only won two games myself.
My son plays it nightly with his buddies.

They finally broke thru and won last night. He loves it. Not my thing though.

I've never played it - but it seems like the ultimate Barstool Bro game these days.
I've been playing a while now

I can consistently get into the top 20 or so, but my feeling is you really have to play a lot so you can get practice in the end game, when there's only a couple players in a small area. You need certain weapons (sniper, grenade launcher, SCAR helps.) I don't play enough to be able to build/snipe as good as these kids do.
PUBG for me as well, similar concept

First win was a squad game and holy crap were we overjoyed when the last guy was killed. I haven't gamed for about 10 years before this but man I've been sucked back in. Challenging, great to play with friends, and something hilarious happens every session.
Good Game but damn

Pub g sucks on console also those new at it don’t play with friends on a computer you’ll be matched with other computer players and at a huge disadvantage
i dont get fdortnite

too cartoony of a theme for me, the building seems like a bs mini game... idk...

i enjoy pubg more even though only a FEW chicken dinners, I enjoy top 5 and 10 situations.

both fun and frustrating to play with friends.family

solo first person isn't so bad.

its a great concept that hasn't been nailed/executed fully yet.
oh i almost forgot

download twitch.tv app, watch the doc! the 2 time! the face of twitch! DrDisrespect, very entertaining.
pubg game out first

but fortnite is gaining ground by being free and offering the different dynamic of building structures. The cartoonish graphics let fortnite load faster for most machines than pubg.
Fortnite is great

I’m pretty bad at it so I don’t enjoy solo mode much. But squad is awesome, super fun to play with friends I don’t get to see too often anymore.
I prefer PUBG.

Fortnite has the advantage of coming from a larger development studio that basically ripped off PUBG completely. It’s more polished, but it’s cartoony and full of kids.
I’ve found that in my second week playing  
LatHarv83 : 2/18/2018 3:35 pm : link
I’ve greatly improved. Still have zero shot of ever winning but I can routinely get some kills and my building skills have improved. The game is more fun the more you can do. I don’t even enter these games thinking about a win im just going balls out looking for kills, I think you improve faster that way too. Go where there is heavy traffic and see what happens, if you die you can always start over.
