OG Fortnite gave this certain feeling that hasn't been replicated by anything since. It's almost like a fever dream or perhaps a forgone different timeline.

[@Ichifate]

It was almost eerie at first, but also warm and calming. There weren’t fully filled out matches with a bunch of fast gameplay and weapons. You looted and waited to see other players. At the most you went to salty springs and if you survived it’d be a minute before you saw anyone else.

[@MacdaddyYN]

I think it was the fact that the game was so new and fresh for us and they cared about there players, but now they don’t care about anyone they only care about themselves and they don’t listen to there community

[@TK_Raz]

OG Fortnite was "perfect" to me because it (BR) was more simple, had a less congested loot pool, significantly fewer 'busted' weapons/items, not overly congested with collabs. Even STW actually got updates and was fun before the ventures came out. Now it just seems like they want you to start from 0 again, which isn't that fun anymore. Overall the game's just become more complicated and congested.

[@SamsFPS]

As much as I agree with you in that the lootpool was significantly less full of broken items, I have always preferred chapter 2 season 1's loot. I say this because of the fact that EVERY SINGLE THING, had a place in the sandbox. Like Halo for example. Now it's full of op af ability pickups, some have cool downs, some have limited use, some have both. Hell, even the exotic weapons are just reused assets with stupid, often useless, gimmicks attached. And most of them are literally just worse than a blue gun...

[@Tayrwhit04]

Idk why they didn't add some STW guns. I know the Zapatron was a bit overpowered, but honestly, if you put in the Zapatron today, I don't even think it would be that good with the charge-up time. I feel something like the super shredder would be loved by pros with lower damage but a much longer range and tighter spread. The angering part is they could do this easily. Just import designs and tweak a few numbers to make them not as overpowered.

This makes me want to cry, it maybe crigne or something but OG fortnite was my childhood. I remember i was 6 years old or something and showing my brother the new game i found on the playstation store. i loaded up and landed in loot lake. It was season 1 some days later season 2 dropped. Me and my brother begged our mom to get the new battle pass. We were so excited, then next thing I remember i was watching my brother in endgame he sat in a bush had his pickaxe equiped only one person was left. He equiped is rocket launcher and shot it at the ground. We have won. This was such an amazing experience. I miss OG fortnite. Last year when OG remix dropped i had the time of my life with my friends. Eventough it wasnt the same. It was just so nostalgic.

The only reason I can't hate on Fortnite nowadays is because the impact the old game had on my life and other people's lives was massive, it's just insanely affiliated to good memories, happiness and innocence. Now it feels like the game got older with the community, and it grew up and changed, to something we'll never experience again, and I can say that I'm proud to have lived that Fortnite era which easily made my life easier and more beautiful at that time.

I love the simple and classic Fortnite, stuff like Ch1 S1-4 and Ch2 S1-2, when the map is just basic grasslands and forests, there’s a simple loot pool, and the whole game feels really grounded but also unique. I’m not saying the really crazy and over the top Fortnite is bad, I just love those early seasons from the first 2 chapters. It felt like back in the day, people were playing for wins rather than playing for kills, so you’d get people actively avoiding fights, and you don’t really get that anymore. And I don’t mean that people would camp, but it really felt like a free for all where people actually wanted to come out alive rather than a killing simulator.

I miss og Fortnite. I remember back in November of 2017 I watched iballisticsquid and some Roblox KZbinr play a few times, and eventually I finally downloaded the game. I remember playing my first game. I landed at the toilet factory and I had one revolver and somehow I didn’t even know how the storm worked so I went inside of a little shed somewhere on the map and I just died to the storm. I was in the fifth grade and I eventually showed my friends game probably around December and everyone in my class started playing it. I never bought any skins until the starter pack came out, but I remember my friends buying season two battle pass and that’s very jealous. I got the glider from season two and the glider from the other seasons, but I sucked at Fortnite. I quit around season seven, but those few months were the funest things ever. I played a bit in chapter 2 but it didn’t feel the same.

the simplicity of og fortnite is what made it fun and enjoyable if you played from 2017 you’d know what i’m talking about

[@exoticccks8651]

What made it so perfect is so much here’s my list: -movement, no strange uncomfortable camera angles, no tactical sprint, etc -graphics, no insane graphics just basic simple stuff -simplicity, no medallions, no bounties, no High tech weapons Everything was just so much better and I miss it

[@TrickyFN]

Valid list, bro.

OG Fortnite would calm my brain every day after my long days it would fix my life icl

[@austinterry6302]

I truly feel like their will never be a game that started out as strong as fortnite, those first 5 seasons were so much fun I can genuinely say some of the most cherished memories I have were grinding games with the boys all night absolutely addicted to getting that victory royale, but even if you didn't you still had a blast and know that you got better for next time, you just had to be there

[@jzeitz3807]

You have liked I think all the comments.. thats crazy. Mad respect man🔥

I like seeing other people’s opinions, it’s fascinating seeing other ways of looking at the game.

Modern fortnite is the personification of capitalism

[@sourswift]

I was around 10-11 when I first started playing Fortnite back in early 2018 (Season 3) and it was so much simpler getting home from school, no responsibilities, and being able to play such a great game that genuinely was enjoyable unlike games now (maybe that’s just nostalgia The last time I genuinely had real fun on Fortnite was during quarantine

[@mrpiggybro7304]

This is coming from my heart as a ''OG'' player myself, I do not think there will be another game like Fortnite that replicates the exact motions we all had when we were children. The cartoonish aspect like he said is gone, majority of games are hyper realistic with players who are absolutely insane. Fortnite was filled with new players learning the ropes and having fun. Here's a quote from Dr. Seuss, ''Don't cry because it's over, Smile because it happend.''

[@TrickyFN]

A bittersweet truth.

[@mrpiggybro7304]

@@TrickyFN So true, Fortnite was something that was never seen before and was new and original and not some copy and paste of other games.

[@mrpiggybro7304]

@@TrickyFN also great new video

[@Mynearr]

Even if Epic did OG Fortnite exactly how it is, it wouldn’t be the same bc we all know how to play now and maybe we all grew up too. I don’t think I played Season 0 but I do remember playing Season 1 right before Fortnitemares. The aesthetic, the mechanics and the laughters is something I’ll never forget and I’ll always cherish. My first game was a friend that I don’t talk to anymore, idk how he found out about the game but I remember him begging me to get it bc he wanted a friend to play it with him after we were grinding on GTA, I got it and Our first game we landed in wailing woods, we saw a purple sky and the storm coming towards us and he said it gives us shield (bc we didn’t know how to get shield) so we ran towards the storm and waited in the little shed and I was like why is my green bar going down and he said “that’s our health stupid” and I called him stupid back bc he told us to stay and we were just healing and we were yelling in the mic and panicking, after I got knocked we just revived each other till the storm did more damage and we died and the rest was history. I was 12 at the time and now I am 19. No other game can fill that nostalgia, not even gta, OG Fortnite was a complete perfect game and to them I thank eternally.

I really don’t feel like there will be another game like Fortnite. To be the next biggest game in the world that’s still going strong 7 years into its life. I genuinely do feel like Fortnite was a once in a lifetime game that we won’t see another game quite like it.

[@Cappar1234]

Maybe the next Grand Theft Auto. Who knows.

Just hearing the og theme gives me chills

[@ASMRXanicx]

This was so nostalgic. Sick video bro

[@Squorzel]

Even as someone who will fly missed out on the older Fortnite era I do agree to an extent honestly. I will say that for some who are fed up with the game at any point, it’s best to just STOP. Sometimes you grow out of love with games. I’ve been playing Minecraft as long as Fortnite Battle Royale has been a thing and even I stopped playing around 2022-2023, and I don’t play much anymore. There are things OG Fortnite definitely did well I’m sure, but there are also things newer chapters and seasons do well too. It’s all about Epic mixing the best of both worlds to make something good. They can do it, the developers aren’t lazy and they have talent. They may just need more time (like longer chapters, around 1.5 years is a decent amount). Not everything that is old that people prefer is nostalgia blindness, but not everything that is new is awful. Some new features can be useful is so many ways, but people are just so blind to that fact, that some end up hating on everything, which tells Epic to make different decisions that could ruin a great idea. IMO, it’s the fans and Epic Games that hurt this game the most (and maybe Disney in a few years).

[@M1st3rTee]

If you didn’t play OG Fortnite you will never ever understand how shit the game is now compared to what it was.

[@Squorzel]

@@M1st3rTee the Fortnite community can sometimes have a problem, that being reflection. Sonic or Mario (or anything really) doesn’t have that problem because you can go back to any game, and show, and experience it for how it is. A game like Sonic 1 has been replayed to the point where no one is thinking how much it was fully perfect or anything, because any false thought baked with nostalgia can be shut down by replaying the game. I didn’t play older Fortnite sure, but that doesn’t deny new Fortnite can do some good things, nowadays. Older Fortnite definitely did some things right, otherwise people would not praise it as much as they do, but you also have to consider how much of that feeling is attributed to how you were as a person. Some were kids, playing with their friends after school, and now maybe they have jobs or don’t see and hear from their friends as much. What I’m saying is being an “OG” is practically irrelevant. I might have been playing Minecraft whilst Fortnite BR was just starting, and I was playing sonic games when Fortnite STW was announced, but others have been playing Fortnite and other things much longer than me. Does that mean they know more than me? To an extent, yes. But a good Fortnite season means something a lot different before than now.

[@Squorzel]

@@M1st3rTee also if the game isn’t to your enjoyment, I’m sorry to hear that, because it sucks seeing something you liked not be as fun anymore, but there are other games, others things for you to play and watch. Maybe take a break from the game (if you haven’t already). I stopped playing Minecraft consistently a while after the Nether Update (the update was great, but newer updates didn’t make much sense and made me lose interest). If you want to know some things older Fortnite may have done worse, ask someone who didn’t like Fortnite as much and is maybe bitter about the game, you’ll possibly find some somewhat accurate complaints. Fortnite for the most part, isn’t able to go back to older seasons.(because of how the game works), so aside from Rewind Royale, which still doesn’t fix the problem, players are unable to realise that you opinion now is already manipulated. I started right when Chapter 4 began (it wasn’t perfect but is was great for me). I’ll take a line from Drew Gooden to illustrate what I mean: “Nostalgia is a drug, that causes us to misconstrue our memories”. Nostalgia isn’t evil or bad (always), but it’s impact can’t be denied. I’m nostalgic for C4, and I know that. I have things I think it did well, but nostalgia plays a role (a heavy one at that). If older Fortnite seasons were to come back for each and everyone of us and our respective favourites, in their exact form, even if it wasn’t severe, we would be able to see first hand that our memories had been tricking us. We’ve romanticised a version of the game in our minds, because that’s how we felt at the time. We might not have that feeling all the time anymore; but you should be able to cherish the memories you had whilst playing the game at that point in your life (for everyone to). Disney buying Epic could either destroy the game or not cause much of an issue. But if even Sonic The Hedgehog (who has a worse track record that any Fortnite drama channel could believe), has been able to grow from the mistakes of the past, even having fans go back to older games and realise the quality they had missed, then Fortnite should have no problem making Chapter 6 good (or not idk).

[@M1st3rTee]

@@Squorzel Sonic and Mario games have always been good though. I have as much fun playing the new games now as I was when I was a child. They never get rid of the things that allow you to have a shit ton of fun. Fortnite on the other hand seems to have some kind of anti-OG attitude where everything people love about OG Fortnite needs to be removed. You never experienced those things. It’s one thing to watch these videos and see old footage, but a completely different game once you’re actually in it. The closest thing you can try right now is installing Nova Launcher on PC and experience a pretty laggy Chapter 1 S7. Then you might understand it a tiny bit.

[@Squorzel]

@@M1st3rTee but that’s my point, with Sonic and Mario, you can go back to older games. You can’t do that with Fortnite (it being live service). If we switched places and I had played in older Fortnite and you started in Chapter 4, it’s the same principle. I’m not saying older Fortnite is good or bad (I didn’t play it, looks cool though). What I am saying is because people can’t go back to older Fortnite seasons and properly experience them, we don’t really have any idea how good or bad Fortnite may have been (at least not an accurate one). I’ve heard about how unpopular Chapter 2 was around when it was released, but now it’s considered the BEST Fortnite season ever. There’s no accuracy there. With Sonic, I can go back to older games and even though one persons experience with the game is different to any persons, I can still see for myself and bear witness to how good the game may be (or not). Im not trying to say I know more about older Fortnite than others though, so if it came off that way, sorry about that. I was just talking about how impossible it is to really get a taste for how Fortnite seasons were quality wise when the only people to let us know are the ones who played it then. Which is fine, but opinions do change. If OG Fortnite (the first one) had come back as accurately as possible, old movement, everything, and it had lasted for maybe 2 months, maybe people would have liked it more or less.
