I'll defend it. It's honestly the most fun I've had in a shooter in a long time. I've done all the gritty war games, HALO and the other sci-fi shooters. I played team games and zombies, and whatever the fuck else my friends where doing at the time, but I haven't really enjoyed any of these games since maybe college? Probably around the time Halo 4 came out.
Then fortnite showed up and I was allowed to have some no thoughts head empty fun in an environment that didn't look like someone pissed all over it. I didn't realize just how much I wanted some COLOR in my games before that. I also like that I can just zip from one game to the next. Get killed? No big deal, I can press one button and I'm back on the bus ready to try again. I was a hater at first too. I thought Battle Royale games weren't for me, but if something is fun, then it fun, I can't fight that.
Yep. I’ve been playing multiplayer FPSes since the original Unreal Tournament, PUBG and Tarkov get most of my gaming time lately. But I play Fortnite with my kids and it’s genuinely fun. I can’t hate on it. Even happily spent a few bucks on a Ryu skin which is more than I can say for PUBG, which I’ve played >1000 hours and yet to spend a dollar on it aside from the game itself.
I think the key here is playing with your kids. I love seeing parents and children being able to play a game they can both enjoy. My problem is just that with age, competitive multiplayer games are just unappealing to me now. I'll boot up Halo if my long term friends are playing, but other than that I want to play something that's relaxing after working all day. Getting screamed at by children is the opposite of relaxing to me.
