idk which part are you reacting to, the character designs? I don't like it much (the building is super lame) but its definitely by far the best BR.

I will never, ever have the reflexes to build any kind of cover while in a shootout, which is enough for me never to touch Fortnite again. I don't know how the kids manage it.

PUBG lost me forever when I heard they patched out lootable clothes.

If I’m gonna play with a set avatar, fortnite’s aesthetic is more fun. But I’m hesitant to get involved because of the data gathering stuff I heard about the epic games launcher back in the day. Did that turn out to be an exaggeration or did people just stop caring?

Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.

assault and zero are good but i can accept that most people disagree (and are wrong)

Bold of them to include a Break button, although I would imagine a Brake button would be more prudent.

IIRC they were pulling some of your steam stats like friends, playtime, etc without asking. By their own admission they shouldn't have been doing it but I guess they stopped now.

Watching a stream, Fortnite is still Fortnite, but now it has a giant xp bar on the bottom of the screen. Seems like they're just turning it into a social shooter mmo. Guns still don't shoot exactly where they're pointed, so I'm not in a rush to try it.

Streaming is unedited nonsense and you can't skip the boring bits, pro streamers are good for nothings who can't get a real job and Fortnite rots the minds of our children.

I first saw Holly Hedges when she was working a shift at Retail Row. She had these Steamy Stacks that sent me straight to Frenzy Farm, if you get my meaning. I invited her to go swimming and she agreed, but she was expecting a trip to Lazy Lake whereas I was thinking something more along the lines of the ol' Dirty Docks, maybe show her my Salty Springs. I knew I was going to have to turn on the charm if I wanted to see her Pleasant Park and after a few wine coolers we were rolling around making our own Sweaty Sands. She took off her top and realized the bra had been pulling extra duty; I was staring at some Craggy Cliffs but that wasn't going to stop me. My older brother had given me some advice that I was finally going to put into practice, so I moved down to her Misty Meadows and attempted what I knew as a Slurpy Swamp. I wish I had more practice because I did something wrong and she bolted, and now I'm all alone and posting this to r/WeepingWoods

Yeah, I'm in the same boat. It's really cool but since it's more about reaction speed than memorization, I just feel too slow to get past some parts. I suppose given time you could memorize the really difficult parts.

I got the thumper platinum in like a day and remember nothing about it rip

homeless snail posted:

yeah, apex is okay too, I'm not big on the characters though, I like the old school arena fps ideal of everyone coming in on equal footing

Yeah I get that

I was into the characters especially after playing so much of the Black Ops 4 BR which has zero personality. It worked for me mechanically too because I like playing support so it was neat playing Lifeline. Also I guess since it basically plays like a slightly worse Titanfall the movement/shooting felt way better to me than BO4/Fortnite

The beacon thing is great too but I guess all the other battle royale games probably stole that immediately

It's great cause at first you're fighting what should logically be the final bosses as its the culmination of all the mechanics and rules the game built up, but then you beat it, and the game keeps going, and the real final boss is like "gently caress the rules and gently caress you too."

even BK knew not to have alliteration in every single name, it just makes the whole map sound generic and lazy
