Sounds like you really had a rough time playing/got wrecked or you don't know what you're talking about. Probably both.
It's extremely important in pretty much every gun fight, as 9 times out of 10 you'll be out in the open and will need it for cover, to either fight or run away. Very important in traversal too.
Not really. We got <10 regularly and top 5 a couple of times. We got second once. Of course you have matches that you lose instantly, but that's part of the game. Fortnite isn't really all that hard to get into. We played 3 days or something, a couple of hours each. Enough to know the map inside out and make an informed opinion about it. Neither of us really liked it enough to keep wanting to play.
If building comes down to "place a wall to deter far away fire" or "a ramp to scale a mountain" it's a gimmick and not the core aspect of the game. You even start without resources, which I found odd, when building is "such a big" aspect. Like I said, it should have an heavier emphasize on the building aspect or should do without it. It's a middle-of-the-ground thing, which I didn't find enjoyable.
It's gotten constant updates. Weapons, items, trap additions, the entire map has been given an overhaul, yeah. It's been improved.
You don't start with a gun or ammo, and I would say it's a big thing as well. It's kind of the point to start off with nothing.
I know about the crazy numbers in China, I was referring to his claim that popularity is declining in the West.
U don't start with a gun.are you going to say shooting is not an important aspect in the game? Sorry but your logic is flawed.you just sound like someone who played the game for annhour, got dunked on,and are now ranting on the internet about the game.
Do you need to build anything apart from a single piece wall or staircase + walls to win the game? No. Building is a tool, not the core aspect. Just like a jetpack would be. If you'd have to actually build elaborate fortresses and defend it or something or could fortify buildings it would be a core aspect.
...Yes? You build sniper towers/bunkers pretty much every game especially near the end.
I don't rant. I merely said I didn't find the game enjoyable. Are opinions "ranting" to you? People argued and I responded. I have even plainly described my time with the game, so I have no clue why you argue in such a hostile way.
Because the things you are saying makes no sense.
There's plenty of free games in super popular genres. Not many get even close to Fortnite's popularity.
Would the game work without building in its current aspect? There you have your answer. If it was never introduced it wouldn't be missed. Building is neither the core nor main aspect of the game. The building there is, feels very gimmicky and middle-of-the-ground, primarily due to the mode that surrounds it, that being always forced to be on the move and gathering the resources needed to build anything and being very limited in what you can actually build. IN MY OPINION (because people have a very hard time seeing it as such), the mode would be better with a bigger focus on building OR without building entirely.
It has more players. I've seen a few people here say PUBG is still more popular. That's not true.
The singleplayer / co-op mode is locked behind a beta-paywall, so it's BR almost entirely. It'll become f2p once it leaves beta, tho. Me and my friends are looking forward to it.
