![]() By: Adrian Ruelas The video game phenomenon “Fortnite” is a Battle Royale game, but unlike other Battle Royale’s, Fortnite has a cartoon type of look and includes a building feature which differentiates itself from other games. The building feature is what most people give credit to for making the game so popular and unique. Fortnite Battle Royale has been out for over a year now, released on September 26, 2017. There has been much controversy over the game; many dislike the game and disagree with the decisions the developers have made, and they say that it has ruined the game. The game at its first stage was much different than the current Fortnite. Change, not just in Fortnite, is a very controversial thing to do. The reason Fortnite went viral was because of its success at its original form, so changing that led people to believe that the changes made were unnecessary, and fans didn’t like them. Though change is not always a bad thing, many people believe that the changes Epic Games made changed Fortnite for the worse. Fortnite's timeline is divided into Seasons. Currently, we are in Season 9, which just started a few days ago. Every seasons lasts for 10 weeks, and after that, a new season starts. Season 1 was underdeveloped, with lots of bugs and glitches in the game. Epic Games was a fairly new devoloping company, so they weren’t exactly experts, but they soon turned it around, and by Season 3, Fortnite was the hottest game out. ![]() I asked some experienced Fortnite players what they’re thoughts were on Fortnite, and they had many things to say. Edgar said he still plays Fortnite, but he thinks it’s dying. He doesn’t like the fact that they destroyed the hottest place to land, Tilted Towers, and rebuilt it into a futuristic model. He also doesn’t like how they took away stretched resolution. He also doesn’t like how everybody nowadays are great players, so good that it becomes boring playing because you keep on getting killed by those players. He did have something positive to say though, and it was how there isn’t as much lag as there used to be. Jose Emiliano said that it’s fun, but he doesn’t like playing unless it’s with friends, otherwise it gets boring fast. He preferred the old version of Fortnite because it was “simpler” and there were no tryhards or sweats (tryhards/sweats = people who try really hard at a game). Albertico said he likes smacking kids, even though I completely destroyed him when we fought each other. He believes Fortnite is unbalanced, which means the skill gap between players is extremely big, and some weapons are extremely overpowered. He also believes the new meta of overbuilding is ruining the game. I don’t believe Fortnite is dying, but it for sure is getting boring. Fortnite has millions of active players who love and enjoy the game. Fortnite will be around for about another year, but until it’s doomsday comes, all we can do is try to get better at the game. With NBA 2K20, a very anticipated game, coming out in September, Fortnite’s active users will surely go down.
