So before all the fith-graders come at me with their short legs and snot leaking out their noses, I wanna say: .... I dunno fortnite stinks and I hate it's community of children and Youtube Kids farming Douchetubers. I swear to god if I hear somebody say V-bucks, Scar, Skybase, build battle or any other Fortnite related term I swear I'm gonna have a seizure.
Though I DO gotta say that the concept in and of itself is NOT that bad. I like Minecraft. Shooters are fine. So combining them atleast has to be decent, right? Well yeah. But Epic not only struck gold, but they found Midas' fucking hand because they have concocted the perfect recipe to take advantage of those, who you can best take advantage of: children. It's free, colourful, easy to play and it has a lot of mechanics that are difficult to master and that you can brag with on the play ground.The sheer amount of money some of my friends have poured into V-bucks is insane. But I can't fault them for it because they were, well, children and didn't really posess a sense of material posession.
With that ramble out of the way, the reason I don't like Fortnite:
I got 360'd by Mr. Beast and then got teabaged. He then hit the griddy on my corpse. Subsequently I looked at the item shop and saw that Arnold Schwarzenegger was available in the form of the Terminator. I then jokingly said that they should bring maybe, I dunno, Kratos from God of War next into the game. My friends then informed me, that they already have.
I am never touching this shitty game ever again.

Man oh man, am I going to get a lot of hate for this. Is Fortnite a good game? Yes! Is it one of the greatest games ever made? Absolutely not. Back when Fortnite came out in 2017, people went balistic for it. It was a brand new game from a brand new genre that Epic revolutionized. It was a blast to play and the matter of the fact is that its free! No pay to win bullshit and no paywalls to access more content from the game itself. However, the gameplay itself, overtime to me, gets very stale. They like to add new items and maps and all that to keep the game fresh, and while its a great idea for them to do that, the gunplay and the fighting just feels like it gets boring way too quickly. Epic also really needs to balance the new items that come from events, because they are usually very overpowered and do a shitton of damage and they feel like win conditions most of the time. The skin quality in this game, as far as collaborations go, are amazing. They all look great, they add the right amount of content for each collab they do, and whenever they do a collab it feels like a celebration on what that collab is. When the Attack on Titan event came out, obviously I was extremely happy. They made the skins extremely well and everything. Fortnite has so much content cosmetic wise and its actually amazing in my opinion and definitely gives the rating a boost. Like I said, the gameplay itself just does not feel engaging enough for me to give it a super high score. I just feel like its overall flawed in a way and they can do things to improve it but from what I have seen they have not. Eventually they'd like to add a First Person mode, which isn't necessarily a terrible idea as long as you can switch from third to first. Its just I think it is completely pointless as a whole to even add a first person mode. When it comes to becoming good at Fortnite, it requires really good aim and sometimes just overall luck with the weapons you get. If you get really good weapons and you have great aim, you should not have a problem getting kills at all. To me though, this game gets boring very quickly. The fanbase is also overtaken by kids everywhere, which, whatever. I guess that is a good thing that this game gets played by pretty much everyone. If it wasn't for how much people even play this damn game, it wouldn't be nearly as popular as it is today whatsoever. The fanbase is what drove this game to where it is today. I just personally feel like this is not one of the best games ever created. I feel like its more or less a very fun game to turn your brain off with friends or yourself and just enjoy yourself playing as Rick Sanchez from Rick and Morty killing Gojo Satoru from Jujutsu Kaisen. Honest rating? 7.5 out of 10. Good game, but not truly one of the greatest games ever.
