Coming to terms that Fortnite may be your favorite game is tough. I'm at the point in the double digits in the past 6 years that this game has existed that I have not only maxed out the battle pass but that I played daily and still got excited about a win or completing a hard challenge or even getting a sick kill. I wrote a whole thing when the last "build season'" dropped about how building was core to this game and why it's a mechanic that made every other game feel lesser because of it. Then no-build came around about a year ago and it made me love the game even more, and now after a year of sitting on it this is the best game ever made. Multiplayer wise but also, and this may sound like a side tangent, but my reservation of playing a long 100+ hour RPG is that I grind for 100's of hours but once the game ends, that's it. All that is confined to that game and yeah the story may be great but I know at the next game that's it, I'm starting from square one so what's the point of the grind. Here, I come back because not only only do I love the game, but I want to have those rewards, I want to own every character I can and I love doing it. I play this game as a single player game I have for over 3 years. I play each challenge like I am in a world full of random NPC's and I'm just trying to get XP. I drop in with that goal but quickly I start getting some kills. 1 turns to 3, 3 turns to 5, 5 quickly becomes 10 and then the challenges don't matter I'm going for a win, I zero in and maybe I lose maybe I win but I'm invested every game. The Challenges are the backbone to my enjoyment but that game drives that love. On the last day of the season I was just as invested as every other week and it's been years of this. I love fortnite it's a perfect game to me. Fuck you if you don't agree
