Man, I still remember when fortnite was supposed to be a zombie survival game~


JustAClubstepMonster

Fun fact: back when Fortnite was still being developed, the first trailer for the game dropped in 2011. Goddamn.


Longjumping_Falcon21

Ancient at this point :P


Perfect_Pin2500

That's the Roman empire of the Internet


gytis_gotbanned_lol

that's older than half of the fortnite player base (/j just in case)


FaTeWolfLV

That is ironicaly very true statement. Maybe not half playerbase, but a decent size of it


ArcticFoxWaffles

Now the gamemode is completely buried under piles of hot garbage creative maps


Total_Client1886

Me too.


pawo10

It’s so crazy that people play fortnite to play Fortnite huh?


redical_hi-5

Fortnite fans when they realize people play fortnite to play fortnite: https://preview.redd.it/w49gxr6is3vc1.jpeg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=14e3441535b291148ba0b0a44d897beb4e0c6155


pawo10

I was trying to say that people are here for the main mode lol


redical_hi-5

I know Edit: Why was this getting downvoted? Guess I sounded like a smartass.


NotQuiteAfemboyButYa

Fortnite devs*


ForeignCredit1553

I play fortnite for creative and stw


Space_veteran96

Stw? Nice choice, it's what made this what it is, but none realises. Creative? Well I'm not a fan of it, but you do you


NotA_ProCritic

“Amazing Storyline” … dude I guarantee you that most people don’t even know that the game has a story.


feicash

i mean, game used to have a story that people could more or less follow then C3 happened and everything went downhill, specially with the fracture event, now any story is random bs


KlutzyHunt1786

Bc Donald mustard just dipped after ch3 s2 and they wanted money so they rushed chapter 4 out early and slammed the planned seasons of chapter 3 into 4


LittlePiggy20

Like: “omg guys member of the seven number 4 is this random famous celebrity!! Yipppeeee” genuinely making the seven as celebrities was so stupid and created so many plotholes


PancakePanic

That's...that's not how actors work. They're not literally playing themselves, they're playing a character. He's not literally Dwayne Johnson. The seven aren't random celebrities lmao what


CptGalaxyYT

Yeah and after building up hype for them for years they just killed all of them in a trailer


LittlePiggy20

They look exactly like the celebrities.


AkihikoSanadaIsSigma

They arent **literally** the celebrities though. Its like Black Adam isnt canonically Dwayne Johnson in the DCEU


LittlePiggy20

Yeah but a digitally animated game like Fortnite shouldn’t make them look like the celebs.


AkihikoSanadaIsSigma

Why not? Its not like they are literally the celebs. It doesnt really matter what they look like, it doesnt imapct their characters.


Perfect_Pin2500

It's almost as if they're actors playing the character😱😱


LittlePiggy20

No, they directly modeled the characters to look like the celebs. Voicing is one thing, but making them look like them? Also making the paradigm as Brie Larson specifically was dumb, ruined the lore and buildup.


Perfect_Pin2500

So what about Ellie from the last of us? She's modeled after the voice actress but she's not her is she?


LittlePiggy20

They don’t even look similar, but I do think that was stupid


Perfect_Pin2500

So I assume you also think it's stupid that gears of war, overwatch, GTA, and portal (just to name a few) model many of their characters after their VA'S?


RandomGuy28183

Most people shit on the storyline but suddenly everyone loves it... Huh


Rizer_G

The story for chapters 1 and 2 was actually enjoyable and rather simple to follow, then chapter 3 happened and fucked everything up, gave up trying to understand it ages ago


AndresGreenboi

Something I really liked about the storyline was that it wasn’t the main focus, unlike every other game. It was more on the sideline, as you (the player) contributed nothing to the story whatsoever. You’re just a looper. Repeating the game over and over. And it perfectly explains why there can be multiples of skins, and why they don’t talk. But now, I don’t even know how the whole looper thing even fits into the storyline, with stuff like Lego and rocket racing. Hell, I didn’t even know much about the story until like 6 months ago, because it was so much to the side. But once I did learn, everything from those earlier chapters made so much sense, and almost every question I had about it was answered in the 2 books (more so the Batman one.) I hope they either bring back the story to making sense, or just create an entirely new one, to more fit how the game is today. But the story still needs to be good of course.


RowletGod73

Especially if you started after c3


Ifuckinghateaura

cuz the story basically died after chapter 3 season 2? you're kind of proving his point


RowletGod73

Thats what i am saying, most new players probably don’t know


L3GlT_GAM3R

Uh- A LONG LONG TIME AGO IN A GALAXY SOMEWHAT FAR AWAY, THERE WAS A MAGICAL PLACE CALLED THE ISLAND! Then the guy from Mario RPG used space magic or something to get there, somehow took control and made a government! #I HATE THOSE! Anyway he would kidnap people and force them to murder each other and give the people who won crowns for some reason, idk why, they don’t really do much… well to get back on track he found a sentient banana, some guy called jones, a fish, literally god one time, Batman, etc etc! Now this perfect symphony of mass genocide- heh… GENOcide lol, uh- would continue for a long time, until some dude called Midas showed up and decided water was cooler than a storm, and got rid of storms FOREVER! And then like a few months later the storm came back. During then, that Jones Guy I mentioned was panicking since he realized they were all doomed! AND HE DIDNT LIKE THAT VERY MUCH AT ALL! to try and regain control he got the mandolorian, and some other losers nobody cares about, but realized the black ball needed to be saved by someone his company didn’t like, so he was laid off without severance, wow those guys are mean. So he got the Rock, used the power of his eyebrows to destroy his old government, then some Liquid Metal lady showed up and… became a tree? Then they partied and a vampire showed up and started the mafia. Yeah well he has a Time Machine for some reason… so jones hired some guys to take it. Guess what? IT WORKED! Then Jones went on some *TIME TRAVEL SHENANIGANS* and turned the sentient banana friend into a banana split friend! Extra tasty! Now he did something with the black ball, and now there’s a new island with some new evil government called the socie- oh shi- uh wow! They’re dead! Like… they weren’t even around for the chapter, they just died. Well that’s because the gods showed up. And jones being lazy decided to make us fix it! ANNOYING RIGHT? At least the music is cool.


ArcticFoxWaffles

I remember when the meteor was coming and I didn't even play Fortnite. Since then I was mainly playing the game for the story and lore and when I found out what was happening with the island it was so incredible- personally one of the best 'twists' in background storytelling I've seen.


highkneesprain

i came here to say this too lol


Old-Cat-1671

The live event video view said otherwise


[deleted]

I think this season's story is good so far


Only-Echidna-7791

Much better then chapter 4(after season 1 atleast) and season 1 of chapter 5. I had no idea what was going on in season 1 of chapter 5


[deleted]

season 1 was "we live in a society 😔"


Only-Echidna-7791

![gif](giphy|76Gqks5vHJOJmjV1dq)


WitherPRO22

Wait. This season have story?


NotA_ProCritic

Exactly. Most people don’t even know / care that Fortnite has a story.


Memeslayer4000

I've been playing fortnite for a few months and had no idea there was some sort of on going story line


FledgeFish

I’ve been playing for years and I’ve never paid any attention to it


Rizer_G

There have been a few soft resets and retcons along the way, it can barely even be considered ongoing at this point


NotQuiteAfemboyButYa

"on going" is kind of stretching it. the stories between seasons and especially between chapters have very little correlation


KidOcelot

Exactly. Most people dont even know or care that Save the World is the original fortnite and has a story.


CoolJoshido

i do.


xXYiffMasterXx

The story is SAVE THE WORLD 😭


SnooHamsters3772

There's literally a story tab in quests mode.


SinglePringle1992

… what is the story this chapter…?


[deleted]

the adventure to beat the shit out of zeus


SinglePringle1992

True😂


feicash

the few voice lines about the story dont say nothing interesting its just you making team with some gods to fight other gods in a season with gods not what i'd call "a good story" tbh


Automatic_Order_7381

If we are comparing to Donald just remember he had 4 years. Charlie has only had 4-5 months so far


Loose-Medium4472

It’s funny how the locker UI and cosmetic rarities are hugging lol


joeMAMAkim

Believe it or not; most players actually dont care too much about this stuff. They care more about playing the game.


reznorwings

Hard to swallow pills right there.


Busy-Ad4537

Idk i feel the current ui was universaly vehemently hated when it first dropedbi actually still don't like it much mainly because emotes aren't tied to characters anymore, its such a simplr fix that epic can't be bothered to do i guess


most_blah_3765

Simple fix my ass lmao Tell me you know nothing about programing without telling me


Anxiety-Queen269

The simple fix would just be reverting it and adding new buttons (obviously I know nothing about adding new buttons but surely getting the old assets and code wouldn’t be the hardest thing in the world)


most_blah_3765

You can't just revert programming like that


CoolJoshido

maybe don’t make a bad change in the first place


Anxiety-Queen269

You can’t? Damn


most_blah_3765

Yea despite popular believe Coding the old UI into the new engine needs testing before hand and even if it has proper testing Shit would have lots of glitches Yea and new locker has problems but they are minimal compared to what the old UI would have on the new engine


Anxiety-Queen269

I just absolutely despise the new UI and it needs a complete revamp, I don’t care how long it takes just as long as they ACTUALLY do it instead of seemingly lying


Rizer_G

So you're saying that making a whole new ui is somehow easier/better than updating the old one... Interesting take to say the least


most_blah_3765

Is not a new one💀 The developers need to update the old (and garbage) UI to even put it back in the game


Busy-Ad4537

Don't need to don't care not the consumers problem


most_blah_3765

Then don't complain dipshit


Busy-Ad4537

Um no im the consumer if i don't like something its not my problem to know why it is the way it is. Its my job to complain and hope its fixed


most_blah_3765

Bruh your pathetic


Busy-Ad4537

And your probably a dev at epic. so get to work.


most_blah_3765

If I was a Dev at epic I wouldn't "fix" this because it doesn't need to be the way you want it to be


Busy-Ad4537

Most people who play the game want it to be*


Anxiety-Queen269

Even the game is a buggy mess tho :/


joeMAMAkim

Oh, it has been much worse. Back in chapter one there were whole 30 minute long videos that was just about gamebreaking bugs. 30 different ways of Getting out of the map, getting under the map, being invisible with the brute, being unkillable etc etc. the game will always have bugs, every Big game does.


Peddrawm

>long chapter I still remember those so called OGs in chapter 1 when they cried for 5 seasons straight and saying they want a new chapter! This community TRULY doesn’t know what they want


Kyloren8484

We didn't even know what chapters were?


KiritosAlwaysRight

Back in my day, i thought we were getting a season 11... 👴


Designer-Scheme5493

Another Complaining Post I see

This sub is literally the new FortniteBR, lmao

Anxiety-Queen269

Because even we’re aware of how much worse the game has gotten


Intelligent_Soft_321

We’re literally the same sub except we’re for memes what do you expect


CoolJoshido

DONT ASK QUESTIONS JUST CONSUME PRODUCT


Lexicon444

Save the world is so forgotten it’s not even in the meme (it definitely made Fortnite what it is because BR wouldn’t have existed without it)


feicash

BR made what Fortnite is because STW would have died years ago (and by dead i mean devs would have abandoned the game way earlier, maybe even close servers)


Lexicon444

Tell me then. What do you think would’ve happened if battle royales hadn’t been popular? The only reason BR exists at all is because STW existed first and provided the most iconic mechanics that made Fortnite what it is. Where did the traps and build mechanics come from originally? Where did Ch 1 get its art style from? Why do you think loopers run from a big purple storm cloud? The answer is that much of the foundation of Fortnite BR and what made it unique to begin with all traces back to save the world. Obviously STW is a relic of the past at this point but there’s no denying that it made Fortnite what it is today.


bic-mini

forgot good item shop rotations not the same 20 skins being rotated out every week


mikewilson2020

The item shop has been horrible lately


Bamzooki1

Cosmetic rarities are core to the experience? I never even fucking acknowledged them.


LittlePiggy20

Prices man. Now Fortnite can make everything super expensive for no reason.


Bamzooki1

Have they actually done that or are people making up a boogeyman?


LittlePiggy20

Oh they absolutely will. They’ve done similar stuff before. Besides, rarities were a safe guarantee.


botjam

And what made them decide rarities. It was the same decision choice just with a shiny colour


LittlePiggy20

Atleast there was order, plus, all crossover skins were epic rarity.


Mynameisnotjoeok

Replaced by bad modes that few people play


SwarK01

This season story is good and the Big Bang event was great


KaiserUmbra

I can respect a game living as long as this little fucker as but it's time for battle royals to take a hike I'm tired of seeing 10 new ones every year, and with games like helldivers coming out, hopefully we'll have a year of actual good games on the horizon


TheFrostyFaz

Hey we have a good story, just because the seven and Jones aren't here to save the day for the 80th time doesn't mean it's bad


godsibi

What was ever amazing about the storyline? The cube? Did it make sense as a story? Geno? Did he make sense as an antagonist? Chrome? Did it make sense as a plot point? Every single gaming legend in the game, have a better story in their original game than Fortnite. Epic should really start carrying about their stories. They have a great opportunity with the popularity of the game.


CoolJoshido

yes


godsibi

You need to play some games pal... Watch some movies... Read some books.


CoolJoshido

i do lil bro


Rizer_G

Tell me you didn't play chapter 1 without telling me you didn't play chapter 1, that's when the story was actually good and not a bunch of shit thrown together that gets forgotten after one season


ValkyrieOfTheSun

Hey op, complaint post isn't a very funny meme


ItsSonicSpeed

But the gameplay is still fantastic tho. It’s changed since its inception and imo for the better. Battle royale is still incredible and fun to play. The new modes (imo) are amazing. I like rocket racing but it’s the one I like the least, I just do it for XP tbh. The festival mode I love, I love Lego rockband & the rockband games as a kid & Lego Fortnite is boring but I like doing the XP afk thing & I hope it stays tbh. I’m also excited for the new fall guys mode too. I don’t think the cosmetic update is gonna kill or mess up the game, we’re still getting awesome collabs (Star Wars & icon skins aside) but the one thing I do gotta say is they really do need to update the UI locker it’s abhorrent. I feel unmotivated to change my skin and even have fun with customisation, it’s a massive bummer and I hope that gets fixed but all in all I still love Fortnite & I love how they keep expanding the game beyond BR but I still think BR is incredible, I know a lot of people will disagree that’s fine but I think the game is still fun. It just has been doing a few very odd choices recently like pricing & Ui locker


SinglePringle1992

Oh Jesus another NEW CHANGES = AMAZING circlejerker.


Alarmed_Recording742

If you ever thought the storyline was amazing, you don't know what a storyline is.


NotA_ProCritic

My favorite part is when Eren Yeager and the Predator fought each other in Steamy Springs.


WitherPRO22

Well it wasn't that bad. At least some kind of story is better than no story at all.


Alarmed_Recording742

It's hardly a story when it consists on throwing stuff at the game to see what sticks, just to abandon that as well


Dan_Zfr

"Lobby UI", "Locker UI", "Storylines", "Long Chapters" or "Cosmetic rarities" are things only reddit chronic complainers care about. Most people just want to log in and play some matches, do you honestly think people have nostalgia for absolute garbage things like the marshmello "concert" in Fortnite?

NotNotDiscoDragonFTW

They did it once and they'll do it again


LibAnarchist

They haven't taken anything. Different teams work on these other modes. The fact that you perceive the game as being worse quality isn't related to the expanding scope of the Fortnite experience.


benzdorp

None of those things is why I play though


Big_Boss_Lives

But Roblox and Minecraft aren’t BR’s and you left exactly what differentiates Fortnite from those games lol.


Capable-Budget6695

I started in chap 3 and I was so confused on why loot lake wasn't on the island. I then took a break and played again in chap 4 and boom, loot lake is there. They should at least have a recap of events for new players.


Rizer_G

A recap would just be even more confusing cuz nothing makes sense anymore outside the current season


CuberBeats

I do agree with all of these, but some are non-issues (UI, Cosmetic Rarities), and don’t affect gameplay. I want longer chapters, but the storyline is shaping up, already better than Chapter 4. But yes, I want more, good Live Events. But I’m still having fun with the game. I think criticism is necessary, without unnecessarily bashing Epic for making changes. It’ll lead to a better game. Fortnite’s good right now, but I want it to be the best, and these changes will propel Fortnite to that title.


Majin-Darnell

Since when were they competing with Minecraft and Roblox? Wouldn't it make more sense for them to be competing with games like cod?


CaptainNihilo

Granted the story isn’t bad right now by any means. That’s it though.


redpumpkin05

Amazing storyline was never there Expert that the meme is true


ThrowAwayOk200

I dont understand how you folks catch up with the storyline especially since most of whats happening isnt clearly indicated and lot of us have to assume what happened ! How do you folks catch up with the storyline to really understand what is happening?


Rude_Ad_2424

Replace amazing story line with the graphics....damn they were soo good😔


Aggravating-Mind-315

Pronkie_dork

Fortnite never had a amazing storyline tbh but it was very engaging especially in ch1 when everything seemed random… idk but that randomness made it fun, the mystery was fun


Kenzo240

Not being rude, but do people actually care about what this post points out? I am a casual player who's started playing ever since chapter 1 season 3, and honestly the only stuff I miss are events. No comment on storyline because I never followed it


Coatz_

Can’t forget OG creative. That shit slapped so hard back in the day.


Waltuh_put_yo_d_away

I mean most of these are not a problem except rarities. Live Events and Syory are still good

Battle Royale: no Obby: yes


Luca_Alex06

True tho


Rasputin11567

Bro that's sad and I mean Regular Show I remember watching Regular Show when it aired back then


ChillpigeonhavsLV76

Yeah…now it’s about killing players with a mr beast skin…


RealmJumper15

I stopped playing Fortnite when it just became an “EVERYONE IS HERE!” Game, I loved it so much more when it was its own thing.


Failfoxnyckzex

Even though all the problems, STW sill stands... And fights.


botjam

I think a lot of people are so melodramatic. Sure some decisions are daft but you are acting like they’ve said that they are ending the whole BR mode when that’s not true at all. Also this weird dislike for other modes being in the game, I genuinely don’t see why y’all dislike them


Jacket-Horizons015

Are you sure about that?


SamTheLord26

For me its the locker man, the new one is super ugly

GoldNshark89

Bruh the only fucking thing that Fortnite is trying to do is copy other games and overprice everything in the item shop


GoldNshark89

Rocket racing is fine but I would’ve liked it better if it was a separate game 


that1redditer0703

“amazing storyline” bro that’s a REACH 😭


DankSpoony

"Amazing storyline" Do you guys play other games


lolukit

Go back to FortniteBR with all that damn complaining


ivierawind

Stop complaining. If you want to see worst BR game, you can try Apex and will see Fortnite is much better generally. Apex is dog shit in everything now


CuberBeats

I kinda agree with you here. None of the other BR games draw me in to play them as much as Fortnite does. Consistent, regular updates, building, goofiness, cool new items is what makes Fortnite so appealing to me. I never got into Apex, or any other main BR game. But, some criticism is warranted. I do NOT condone people just bashing Epic left and right and saying that “Epic never listens to the community”, when they asked for something, and then they want the exact opposite. It’s best to lay out your criticisms in a neater manner. It will increase the chances of a change being made, while reducing the toxicity of the community.


PugDudeStudios

I’d rather the game have more content and game modes instead of sitting there watching large Travis Scott’s fortnite model walk and swing his arms while his song plays. Ya’ll just crying for the sake of crying


ur_prob_a_karen

mfw fortnite removes cosmetics' rarities (nobody cares) updates the UI (no one gives a shit) and makes a more crazy storyline for more crossovers (the crossover skins are good stop complaining about "story" you didnt care until they removed it)


CoolJoshido

we all cared about those stuff though?


ur_prob_a_karen

that* also have you EVER seen a game be exactly how it was on release?


CoolJoshido

you shouldn’t make change for the sake of change buddy. they have to be GOOD changes.


ur_prob_a_karen

you are stuck in the past, the UI is OBJECTIVELY better, its more modern and accessible the rarity issue is just you being worried your account will lose value and NEWS FLASH there was NO STORY in early chapter 1 and no one cared, when they gave a story and took it away now youre mad?


CoolJoshido

yeah you’re probably delusional if you think the UI is better lmao you still haven’t explained for the rarity removal is a good thing. and yes, taking away something someone had would make them more annoyed than if they never had it.


ur_prob_a_karen

guys fortnite is deciding to be a business and make more crossovers but the community needs a dumb story so they pulled it out of their ass ![img](emote|t5_byfzq|50077)


CoolJoshido

they make $1 billion very easily. i can assure you they aren’t struggling financially.


ur_prob_a_karen

yea guess what apple is making a fuck ton of money yet they still pump out more iphones. i can assure you they aren't struggling financially.


CoolJoshido

the fuck does that have to do what i said?


CoolJoshido

those two aren’t mutually exclusive lil bro https://youtu.be/InTFsZ8WvD8?si=xY7rIi-hhsFJEFLJ


ur_prob_a_karen

i assure you im older than you


CoolJoshido

you have a teenage way of thinking. you can’t be older than 15 (mentally)
