I don't know if I think Fortnite is objectively bad game. It just feels like a hollow corporate shell of what it used to be. It's lost all of its character and authenticity. Part of that is just a game growing in popularity, but part of it is 100% on the developers and creative director

[@Legendaryvrgt]

They can’t be held back from doing more they just need time to sort it out

[@thetechdog]

I think the game was great up to and including Chapter 3. They did do Chapter 3 dirty though. Afterwards they focused too much on realism and graphics and the new maps stutter like crazy on many people's PCs. Season OG and Reload are still pretty good though. They should add already an option to pick between the maps from chapter 1, 2 and 3. And maybe rotate between the seasons monthly for each map. Or just pick the best season from each chapter. If they did that everyone would be happy. Any other game lets you pick what map you want to play on, but Fortnite doesn't.

[@crimsonraiderxv3422]

​@thetechdog Naraka doesn't even let you pick, but it DID at one point. Fortnite *_still_* doesn't let you play on any previous maps. They just gave us alternatives 💀

[@russiankodiak6849]

Donald Mustard left and they obviously didn’t find a suitable replacement.

[@thetechdog]

@@crimsonraiderxv3422 Yeah. And if the new map is good people will choose to play on it regardless of whether or not other maps are available to play. But it's pretty obvious people would rather play on the older maps at this point. Just add the option, as long as they spend time and maybe even money on your game there's nothing wrong with that.

Epic games used to actually care when mustard was still there but after he left things have gone to shit.

Epic probably hates they give so much for just 950 vbucks because the festival pass is like 1800 vbucks with only one skin and the mini passes are 1000 vbucks for 2 skins. 4:53 I agree epic basically made that season so because of nostalgia people would play the game and attend the live event in which they advertised their new modes . pretty scummy tbh 6:41 It hasnt released yet so bringing this point doesnt make any sense . Maybe they will do a very faithful recreation . I dont see it but again its not even out 7:00 No chapter 5 season 3 wouldnt have killed this game . We have had various bad seasons like primal or c4 s3 that were awful but then the players came back for the next season . You are being way too dramatic 7:22 dude can you do surface level research like actually its embarassing . Every 30 seconds you survive you get one reboot thats how its supposed to work you are saying false info for dramatic effect. 8:46 reload was made as an alternative to people like you who shit on modern fortnite because it came out when fortnite OG youtubers were hating on the new season so fortnite panicked and released something , so brining back ch3-5 doesnt make sense and guess what they are already trying to have two separate reload maps. 9:41 I agree with you . Fuck epic for taking the charm out of seasonal events . The summer winter halloween events went so hard in ch1 and 2. 11:53 it is your opinion and I get it . But with the new iron man update it sure as hell feels like marvel especially with the LTM . I agree with your take on live events THEY FUCKING SUCK . Epic should bring regular events back after 2 seasons 13:55 tf you mean they literally tried "something new" with lego racing and festival . Plus the sports modes could be work in progress and they just teased it. 17:08 how can you play the game in 2011 if it released in 2017 . I feel like this video was made by AI script and the point you brought up about people knowing everything before its leaked . that stuff has existed since forever you cant criticise something because you got leaked . Thats like saying infinity war so bad because I got spoiled that half the avengers would die . And your comments saying " bozos that don't understand what criticism is" you are literally wrong multiple times and most people have pointed that out. Even this video's title is clickbait epic isnt lazy they are doing things differently , now just because they are doing it differently doesnt make it good but again they arent lazy they give us ton of content every season/update.

And objectively those skins weren’t even lazy, they went above and beyond to make them, the built in gliders were unique and the first time we saw them, it was the first time we saw the Thor pickaxe and Iron Man pickaxe animation, it was the first time we got skins with a built in emote that made each skin unique.

I think 2 problems added to this result: dividing their resources between the new game modes (UEFN is taking a bit too) and firing and not hiring new resources to increase their ranks. I would added the shop and the locker that are their main source of revenue...

[@damienr4031]

Apparently the day they vaulted Imposters was the day they started working on the new game modes. And a year or so later fired 900 people to compensate map creators. They're not lazy, Tim is just so focused on his stupid metaverse that he's willing to drop a lot of Fortnite's originality and soul. And now with their increase insistence in bringing more Disney cosmetics to the game, they're def not gonna stop with collabs. Well except for WB, blame Zaslav and Multiversus for that.

I almost ALWAYS prefer Epic's own assets and ideas for Fortnite rather than collabs. I think the problem is the game has just gotten overly reliant on collab items. I dont even hate collabs completely but imo they should be like candy, really good occasionally but overconsumption is problematic.

Lazy? Explain why Lego Fortnite is so good

[@Bennjipie]

it wasnt when it first launched, it was garbage at first, they rushed it out bc of deadlines then had to update it a shit ton to make it remotely playable

[@UrielOnyx_Trinity]

In my view, the only "plausible" reason for Epic to be doing this type of Battle Pass is to keep people playing for longer. One thing I noticed last season was that as soon as I was there in the last few weeks, many people had already completed the pass, so at certain times the matches were "emptier" regardless of the level of your Survival Medal. I could be very wrong, but that's how I see it at the moment.

[@russiankodiak6849]

In Chapter 2 Season 4 we had to grind to level 220 for the last style, in which many people did, and we had no problem doing it because of how good the season was. Why? Because almost every update during Chapter 2 Season 4 was quality content, whether it was the announcement of getting a Marvel skin for free through a tournament, a new Marvel LTM, a New Mythic, a new mini or large POI, more gadgets and weapons added to the loot pool, it was managed in a superior manner. Chapter 2 Season 4 is a superior season by light years, and people actually enjoyed playing it. This season all I see are people critiquing it, which is a good thing, because it shows that this season is not as good as the Chapter 4 shills are trying to make it seem. When they have to nerf loot all the time and promise content that has yet to arrive a month into the season and a month before it ends you know this season doesn’t even make it into the Top 10 best seasons

[@UrielOnyx_Trinity]

@@russiankodiak6849 Well, I can't really say much about it because it's been a long time since I played Fortnite and it's been a very short time since I started playing again, so I don't remember anything.

[@moonquartzs]

I want to agree with this very much, not only because of the fatigue that existed in Chapter 4 and post Collision event, but the game felt like it wasn't Fortnite anymore. I remember when the game had a simple aesthetic in Chapter 1 and early chapter 2. The game had many events, and Donald Mustard was right about the magic being in these events. It's what caused players like myself to log on excited for what mystery Epic had for us. That magic is gone now, and it's been replaced by a growing disappointment for each season feeling less and less like Fortnite. OG Fortnite had me excited to relive those good moments, but it was a letdown after hearing how much they cut out of the season in it's final draft, and not experiencing the mini events planned. It felt sloppy and rushed to get on with their spotlight product showcase of 3 game modes that are utter failures. I don't know how they're going to do it again with Chapter 2 OG, but I wish them the best of luck in their pursuit of becoming a COD rip-off graphical metaverse.

[@moonquartzs]

Oh, and to add onto "Simple", the item shop is an abysmal eye sore to scroll through. I have to scroll through an abundant source of sponsorships, overrated music, and overpriced Lego sets just to see if they "accidentally" released a rare skin. It's tiresome. The old item shop, whereas it's just skins, emotes, wraps and lobby tracks felt a lot more clean and easier to navigate than what's in the shop right now. When OG first released, there was barely anything in the item shop, and it brought back a sense of uniqueness to it. Towards the end, they started releasing icon skins and overloading it as they did in the previous season(s). It was that initial feeling of freshness during OG that I appreciated it's marketing and staying authentic to the chapter 1 vibe. The shop as of now can be said in 3 simple words, greedy and messy.

[@reissnewlin3758]

they need to stop doing all these damn Collab's and just have fortnite make its own season for once again. they also need to make the game more simple instead of having a million different items in the game.

[@uwuruuu]

had some good points, but also some bad ones You can't really complain that they *change* stuff about events, and then complain that they haven't changed stuff (summer events)😭Likewise, not liking the rewards also isn't really valid criticism; for every person that likes it, I'm sure there's one that does. Also, you really shouldn't base criticism on leaks; people fake stuff all the time and/or are just wrong entirely about it. In general, game development takes a LOT of time, and you can't expect every concept art to be as good as the end product; while some things may actually be planned to be better, making them good, not laggy, not buggy, and actually work as intended in *every platform* is a whole different deal that may just not be possible without a lot of time, which they really don't have. Besides those things, very good points

[@Bennjipie]

you can give critisim on things they have changed and not changed because they are 2 different things. people can enjoy whatever they choose, but objectively, receiving just a wrap or xp is boring for challenges. and you can base criticism on leaks because there are a couple very trusted leakers for fortnite that have always been correct ex: hypex

Not only that the people that give lectures to try to catch EPICS attention to (yk try to make the game better) will play the game prob right after. the game is too addicting and you can’t really get out of it unless if you just uninstall but you will possibly get it back cause it’s that addicting, and they already know this so they aren’t going to do anything abt the game. And I’m not trying to give hate to anyone who disagrees. I actually love watching these vids bc I feel they’re hate. And I do agree they are very lazy and the game sucks.

[@thedoggobandit799]

I couldn't have said it better myself, I played a small bit of C1 but mainly started at the very beginning of C2, and even back in C2 the game felt so full of life, epic actually cared about their game and their players and it had personality, but they've borderline taken live events from us, given us this over simplified shitty buggy ass UI no one likes nor asked for, as well as removed rarities for cosmetics, a staple of the entire game, and now worries a lot less about the fun stuff and tries to cater more to the competitive demographic which will always ruin any game, like how they've began to do ever since mid C3, but my biggest issue is that they just don't care about the storyline anymore, the biggest thing that I cared about and that immersed me in the game was the story and how engaging it was with small map changes every week and something new always around the corner, but it's like now the only story we get is through shitty quest no one cares about and you usually can't even read the stuff without being shot at, or we get it through the horrible creative live events once in a blue moon, which is ridiculous by so many means

[@NotOwainDark]

Nah bruh, at least with Minecraft you can mod the game and tbh the only thing that game needs is optimization and chillager. With Fortnite its kinda been going downhill and its due to greed. I know they're making good money with the new skins people get all the time that they'll never use and Minecraft is a one time purchase. For $7 (mobile) I got my worth long ago but for Fortnite a free game I put a ton of money into it and expect more from them with that model. I can stop spending on vbucks but to make a difference its gotta be a lot of people coming togther to do that too.

[@drrockstar4040]

You have to keep in mind that Epic Games rushes their employees. A battle pass will release whether or not said employees have good ideas for the pass. In Battle Royale's earlier days it was kinda just a smaller budget side mode to STW. Most of the assets were just reused STW assets. The devs were able to work more creatively but with a smaller budget. Well now since the game since the game has a crossover skin in every Battle Pass that means that a new season has to happen by a deadline in order to meet contractual obligations with the crossover characters. Another thing to keep in mind is that they split up the battle royale team to work on stuff like rocket racing and festival.

[@ltisdabest21]

A new battlepass coming out every 2 to 3 months is how seasons work. It's not because they have collab skins in the bp. Also Epics dev team doesn't work on Rocket Racing and Festival Psyonix and Harmonix do.
