    Many thanks, Epic Games for full keyboard and mouse support on PlayStation 4. I'm not talking about emulation like Hori and etc. I mean full support. Just connect the keyboard + mouse to the PS4 and get a huge advantage in building and switching weapons. By these actions, you killed the competitive moments

    Won't pay for it. Battle royale is a whole new addictive video game "tempo"(I like using that word) instead continuing tdm for far too long at a time, constantly dying from precision air strike, and people who are on their A-game, you'll play a much longer match, that maybe isn't about the ending, since if we really instantly quit to the lobby, why the hell are we playing.

Battle royale is a whole new addictive video game "tempo"(I like using that word) instead continuing tdm for far too long at a time, constantly dying from precision air strike, and people who are on their A-game, you'll play a much longer match, that maybe isn't about the ending, since if we really instantly quit to the lobby, why the hell are we playing. You're screwed with the aiming if your too far away, and smg's do nothing. Matches are much shorter than i thought, I thought they'd go on for hours but still, it's Caspian border sprinting over grassy hills times 10. When you're parachuting out the bus, with a dopey lame character rarely seen in games, you'll wonder(yes I'm borrowing this from that, Medal of Honor review) no, you'll realize your wasting your time on a level that hasn't been seen since a long, long, longer, time ago. Solo is the only way to maybe have one worthwhile kill, making you instered enough in the outcome, and I've seen some amazing battles that haven't been seen before in games. I'm proud of epic for turning their, company failure level flop, into something that is almost bigger than gears. But they sure did it in a shameless way. Shouldn't we rely on the makers that brought us the ultimate stuff to make the next evolution? In this case no. Why should we make a fuss about yet another post ME3 crate game(ok, 40 hours is evil) when we're seeing worse things, like the whole cosmetic items pull that is now on a much larger scale? Smashing jiggly bricks is a new mechanic that's on the level of some top shooting feedback. However, we're taught that fun but tedious moves give us xp or even small font size white text. Instead we really get nothing but having a supply of wood that will ether lead to a awsome new player created move of circle building", as i just made up(the name at least) or a control mishap of selecting the weapon you want but never get in time, or get hit the last fateful times when it's constructing in front of you. So all that(and when your in a squad they break brick for minutes at a time, in games, time is hyper useful) will probably lead to nothing. I love seeing the pro's (i,e the girl that killed you or the top 10, not some stupid e sporter or youtuber, ugh) use the build and shoot to masterfully show their personality though predetermined animations. It's like the final guy in search and destroy who place two claymores and do the yy tap thing after a kill. Quick building for cover while running away was something that showed me game mechanics can go farther and work. I don't like paragraphs. The little but important snap of seeing new animations, sounds, or textures is something that I've never seen before. Updating does show that we're getting the stick for playing a very early and reactive game. It depends how far it goes. If we see something totally superior to what we slogged through than I'll feel even more like that nearly 30 hours(wait, seriously, yeah i think it was like 20 something, that's absolutely ridiculous) was soul killing. But their also will be a little of I was important and the feeling of seeing a process never done by consoles and big names. Ever since skyrim and next gen, we've seen the focus go to a great wealth of content that just wouldn't have done before, but if you think about it, they definelty could have done way more worthwhile and not time disrespecting(think Gt freakin A, I did it cause there was nothing else and I always complete baby) content that might've made this incredibly disappointing half generation(I was really too idealistic) be composed of memorable moments(I can't think of any other way to put those last two words, thank years of reading game critics) The art style initially came off a far too juvenile and it still could be a lot more intuned with surperior game styles but I love the beauty isolation feeling of the island that I compare both to game and show form of the walking dead. The purple pink sky with wispy clouds and new stars sold me to it. And while most of the characters are incredibly generic and conform to the style that games are so good at becoming their own from, I still adore the back camera following view of dark ponytail girl. It's almost always worth it with her. The new social dynamic of BR with squads makes me just want to talk to people in my own, won't see them after match, so be a different cool version of yourself way(think trying to sound like tracer, it kinda works?) But when you find some new acquaintances that join your party slate, Joking around and calling out targets and feeling the panic of getting absolutely Flanked far overcedes the actual game. Kills or time in doesn't even matter anymore. But that leads to the main mind hitter(I'm trying to not sound like Everybody), starting matches just to find someone with a mike, and if they do, finding out their a disappointing, It's cool dude, it's chill(i.e the majority?) guy is a lot worse than you could have been doing… Expand

This game also has insane replay-ability with the all consuming desire for a "victory royale"! The only reason I did not give this a 10 is because as fun as it is it can be very frustrating. And not because you don't always win (that's a given), it's because it can at times be very unbalanced or feel broken. When the game doesn't work right and it results in your death that can be very infuriating. Nevertheless this game is an incredible play and deserves all the hype it's been getting.… Expand

    I have been playing Fortnite Battle Royale since it came out. The game gives you a new take on the Battle Royale genre by introducing the new build mechanics. You want to get on top of the mountain, build yourself a stairway, are you getting shot at, build yourself some cover during the fight. The developers are always on their toes, adding new content every week and fixing bugs. YouI have been playing Fortnite Battle Royale since it came out.

You want to get on top of the mountain, build yourself a stairway, are you getting shot at, build yourself some cover during the fight. The developers are always on their toes, adding new content every week and fixing bugs. You always have something new to do every week and the best part, is that it's free.

    Unfortunately, there are flaws. The one problem I have with this game is that the combat part mostly relies on luck. Fortnite introduces RNG- a random number generator, it’s basically the chances of getting an item drop. You are not shooting and hitting your target because you are good, you just roughly aim towards the area of your enemy and you might hit him, but with my luck, I never hit. Fortunately, this can be countered by building, which is why I love this game.

    Fortnite is one of the few games that is unique and fun . I would definitely give this a try if I were you.    … Expand

    This odd combination of a third-person shooter battle royal with platforming elements and a Minecraft like building meta can be a silly yet addicting source of abnormal video game fun.

The non-realistic graphics of the weapons and cartoon-like feel to Fortnite makes this game very user-friendly to all ages. Just childish enough to include all the young ones, and enough of a competitiveness to entertain large scales of audiences across the globe. There is a very low barrier to entry as well, considering the BR mode of Fortnite is free on almost all available platforms, so this game has excelled at drawing in such a large community. Hands-on, this game feels very smooth and runs with mind-blowing fluidity. Games can start and end all in the same minute, or you can chase a victory royal all the way into the 25th minute. The best part about a game such as this is the amount of work the developers, Epic Games, is constantly putting into it to make the best possible experience for the players. Every single day there is something new added or amended in the game, whether it be a new skin or dance added to the shop, or a giant low-gravity cube that puzzles everyone as it inches its way across the map. Whatever it is you are looking for in a battle royal game, Fortnite has it. The building mechanics come second to none and the game-play manages to always keep you engaged whether you're behind the controller, or behind a screen watching your favorite streamer. There is no doubt in my mind that Fortnite will be remembered forever in gaming history as one of the best games to ever enter the hands of us very lucky gamers. Go check out Fortnite for yourself and try to be the last one standing, nothing feels quite as satisfying as a well-deserved victory royal.… Expand

    Game that requires no skill, only money to win.

    Guns are completely unbalanced and have no explanation at all. Sometimes shotgun does 10dmg damage from 2m and sometimes 78dmg from 15m. Unlimited server issues, hackers (a fck ton of them). Small amount of weapons and only difference is in rarity. Weapon spread is a joke. Bullets fly from barrel 10 deg to anywhere but not the enemy.    Game that requires no skill, only money to win.

But if there is one thing that I think could make the game a whole lot more fun, is a sandbox mode where you can make stages, and put whatever you want in them, it would give players a lot more freedom!

Community is awful (probably one of the worst) the updates are now garbage, the balance sucks and the worst thing about this game is that Epic is UNCREATIVE!
