What is the appeal of Fortnite?

Game is bad. Just bad.

The game is good, maybe just not for you.

The game is more for a niche set of players.

I spent years disavowing this game due to some preconceived notions I had about the game I picked up from the online community en-masse.

I'm from the generation of gamers who grew up on Legend of Zelda and Mario party 8 on GameCube and Nintendo 64 and later evolved into games like medal of honor and currently Escape from Tarkov.

I DID try and play a game or two of Fortnite recently but was very.. Put off, by how it went. I won my match against bots but it just felt dinky.

Am I just not seeing the appeal that IS there or is it genuinely just an inferior game or does it belong to a niche group of players? Let me know what you think

i personally really enjoyed fornite when it first came out. a statement i know a lot of people agree with. at first the game felt kind of new and fresh. the graphics were nice (in my opinion) and i suppose because it was on all consoles and it was free it took off. it's hard to describe why i liked the game. for me personally i wasn't playing much else in 2017 so i welcomed the game with open arms.

i havent played the game properly in years now. mainly because the community has gone from literally everyone playing it to a game that's more focused towards children. i suppose there was a kind of magic to playing the game when everyone was bad at it. hard to describe

@looping honestly that's fair. But as the game stands today there are too many flashy/ weird things that distract from the core mechanics of the game. It's hard to see past but I somehow did and didn't really like the base gameplay at least in comparison with other games of the same genre like PUBG or EFT. Even warzone is arguably a better fleshed out game in my mind tbh, and it's practically a dumpster fire at this point.

But all of this is NOT to say it's a bad game, they just moved away from what I think it was supposed to be and chased an audience in a cash grab. Sacrificed what could've been a good game for what it is today

I never got into on-line gaming, like I did with games that are nowadays considered to be "old-school." For my personal gaming history is firmly rooted in the 1990's, from Pinball, to video arcade coin-ops, to home console games and ultimately, PC games.
