The Downfall of Fortnite Battle Royale
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 бер 2024
- Ever since the Fortnite Battle Royale player count peaked in Season 4, Fortnite has been bleeding active users. Now that we're in Chapter 2, Season 3 of Fortnite, I wanted to find out why the game has been losing players. This documentary will attempt to answer that question.
Thank you guys for watching, like and sub if you enjoyed, Sunny XO ❤ - Розваги
Hey guys if you enjoy my content and wish to support me over on Fortnite, you can use my code "SunnyV3_" (with a three and underscore) in the item shop. Would really appreciate it. Thanks all much love
first reply lol
My man what are you doing here 💀
I would say it probably is dying so much is because all the updates has either op items or a couple days worth of content its not like when they first made the game and there was so much to try and discover like metal for all the guns and the new locations suck to say lazy its basically a worse version of tilted and the old vehicles used to be fun like the quad crashers but not there just dumb like ufos and mechanics and planes the guns are either op or weak like fire bow makes it so you no longer can build with wood then there's the new ar that they added in season 6 of chapter two that has bad aim and the players are all sweaty and toxic making new players to bail on the idea of trying fortnite and old players that just want to chill and not stress while playing there favorite game and the new map sucks i would much rather have tilted loot lake and shifty shafts then any of the new locations in chapter two.

The game used to be FORTnite where you would build forts and have fire fights with the other team, now it’s bob the builders castle adventure but bob is on 17 different hard narcotics
Or mabye u just didn’t get good with everyone else
@@omgryannn people like you killed the game
@@gunkymcsplunky i don't think its really fair to blame sweats for the death of the game. The game is naturally gonna have more skilled people over time you cant expect everyone to be a noob forever
@@chadcarroll550 notice how before sweats Fortnite wasn’t filled with tournament shit and that and when sweats started to take over the whole game was just tournaments.
@@gunkymcsplunky i get that but dude let's be real over time players are obviously gonna get good and there is nothing epic can do about it
“Fortnite was fun when everybody sucked” this is it. This quote you said is the answer and summary to this video. It stopped feeling organic. It also doesn’t feel fair for me to blame ppl practicing in Playground Mode cuz “practice makes perfect” and it’s a sensible thing to do but it changed everything. It wasn’t a game you could just hop on and have fun anymore like a player would literally have to do homework in Playground Mode to keep up with others and the newest meta build combinations.
the game has to evolve with the player base, I like the state of the game right now, you can play fun modes and pubs against complete noobs, zero builds or sweat it out if you want to. Also in other games people dont complain about players being good, like valorant or apex, of course people want to improve and will get better, they are looked up to in other games.
@@claudeheinrich3613 People absolutely complain about people being good at those games. In Fortnite you could get a win even if you just play 2 rounds a day. The chance to win now even if you are a good player but don't know enough about meta / building if you dont play zero builds is close to 0%.
In Apex and Valorant it's better as you can get good teammates that carry you to the win. But you also get a shitton of smurfs that are in the top 0.1% and will win against you 100/100 times.
Any new game will die as enough people get too good at the game. At that point there is no way for new players to get into the game which results in the original players getting better and better / eventually stop playing because of getting a job / older in general and the game dying off.
"For some of you 2017 seems like a long time ago"..... this hurt my soul. Feels like it was last year basically.... kids man, they definitely age you quite a bit.
i was in year 9 of high school and was having the time of my life, now im in my first year of uni. Crazy how time flies, nevertheless I will never stop loving this game for what it was in its prime
Ya my kid was born in 2021 and I literally feel like I blinked and she’s over a year old now and I’m suddenly 25. Not fun.
Yep 6 years ago it's 2023
@@pickles5342 yo congrats tho 🥹 it's so precious to hear something like that.btw this is not towards you what about to say rn ok?.Idk whats going on people are making babies in 2022 and 2023 during hard times why??
@@OT_Shady babies are what makes this world a better place. I think God just wanted everyone to be happy so he gave us a whole bunch of sweet little babies to brighten up the mood during these difficult times.
Remember back when u would see an umbrella and you'd land as far as possible from the person who had it
Yeah and I used to struggle to get an umbrella but now just enter solos and the bots will make you win. This game ruined itself. 😞
i remember seeing my random duo having an umbrella in season 2 and i was so excited coz i thought we would win together, but we landed at fatal fields and team killed me 😔
kuhnekt when I win my first game in season 2 with two mates we were shouting and just happy in general but that slowly went away the more I played it. Sure I was good at the game but I just didn’t find it fun. Now coz of fortnite I can’t really enjoy any br and haven’t playing since season 2 ch 2 came out
😢good times...
like when you take something simple and fun and add too much to it the players can’t cope that’s how they ruined it changed and added too much
fortnite is like your best friend who starts doing things for the entertainment of people, but then goes mad with clout and drifts away from you.
Damn I think u just perfectly described it
This is the most perfect description ever
*Cough* *Cough* Tiktok *Cough* *Cough*
Burmble for tiktok I think that’s kinda the opposite.
@@Brycicle3d everyone agreed that tiktok was always complete trash and memed on it, now all my friends have that trash,I am immensely dissapointed in all of them, very few people have retained their braincells
I agree with your opinion at the end. Creative mode allowed people to practice building a shooting relentlessly until they became so good that the average player who just wants to play a few games after school can no longer compete
I think that the main reason that fortnite died was because they made the game too complex. Everyone loved the simple early chapter one gameplay but recently they ruined it by ruining and overcomplicating some of the most early and beloved features. They have also clearly sold out, based on the amount of items that are in the shop at once.
Edit: fortnite is back because they finally made a good update. It is very interesting coming back and seeing everyone roasting this comment, but I think I need to make the point that compared to its glory days, it is not even close. this momentum will die soon, as they temporarily got some players hooked with the old map.
Exactly, simplicity is what made Fortnite unique, because you feel familiar with everything you see and you feel like at home.
To Tencent none the less!
It is reborn
Game reached 44.7 million players in one day lol.
@@GHOSTOFENGLAND cuz they fixed the game by downgrading the chapter 3 and 4 bullshit and bringing it back to the game everyone loved. also autistic 7 year olds pretending to be nostalgic exist now.
Honestly, "casual" fortnite is now nothing more than an old legend...
I just got an official fortnite ad saying they added driveable cars I was like bruh
Yeah, this game changed a lot with the release of playground and creative. The players started thinking that they needed to be good to enjoy the game so they started trying more than they were supposed to. Before some dude named Timmy or Jimmy with only 1 armpit hair tells me "JuSt GeT BeTTeR, nOt OuR fAuLT yOu ClNDnT KeEp Up" we get it, you joined in season 8 when people stopped having fun, see this from a Chap.1 S.2 players' perspective. We started playing the game for the fact that we could build amazing towers and stay in it and have fun, not to lose 1 pound every match. I just don't see how people can enjoy having minute long buildfights. Hell, they barely shoot anymore, they just overbuild until they're down to 200 mats and box up and hope they get a lucky edit and hit you for 180 and then spam you with an SMG. I just cant play more than 5 matches per day anymore, I literally take day-long breaks. It really sucks that a game you would stay up till' 2 AM laughing with your squadmates and thinking to eachother: "Damn, really hope we keep on having this fun" turned into, "Alright bro I'm getting tired of this imma' get off" and then not play with him for 2 whole days. I really hope Epic Games stops caring about the comp. Scene and puts more effort into us; casual players. I mean, they added cars, great I guess...? It's not like that matters, you might make some friends that race around with you for 5 mins but at what cost? You're just gonna get shot it by a Dynamo or an Aura and get killed in less than 10 seconds. I don't care what anyone says, we all know this game is gonna be super irrelevant in less than a year, and it'll never the same.
woag, 110 likes. glad to see people agree with me :)
exentxl I tried to play this game, only to shoot one bullet into some TTV soccer skin nerd, as he builds a 10 ft tower in 3 seconds (probably spends 3 hours a day building in creative). I just leave the game at that point.
@@warv6552 :/
@@t2tech225 I agree until that last bit. I'm not trying to change your mind, however I honestly think this game will stay relevant. Epic is making moves to make this game a long lasting one rather than a game thats hot in the moment. I _think_ they're trying to find a balance of fun for casuals while keeping it balanced for competitive players (after all, they do still hold tournaments with pretty big prize pools.) Although it may not be like chapter 1, I think we'll feel nostalgic about current times in a few seasons. :D
“Battle royale, a style not used by many games” oh boy I wish I could go back to that
Minecraft did it
That’s all you see now
tbh i like those kind of games cuz you can choose how to play (just get into a fights,camping, or just chilling running around) but fortnite just.... doesn't give you that ability which ruins what is (imo) the fun of battle royale games
Now everyone wants to have a battle Royale mode like fortnite that's why I hated when treyarch and infinity ward came out with blackout and warzone instead of making they own shit
Wish I could go back when I played it
It’s crazy how all this was wrong and Fortnite still popping in 2023
What Im saying bro, has the most active playerbase of any game on the market. Gaming is generally a cyclical industry, which is why this video is kinda moot.
yea its is at a new peak now
What turned me away was after season 5. It was clear every few weeks there had to be something new and removed and it gave me an identity crisis if I really enjoyed playing or not. I was hoping developers would’ve taken the OG MW2 route in making every weapon powerful but most things they added are to never be seen by a player again
I think adults started leaving and children took their place.
The kids were always there
just that they keep increasing
No it’s the adults that act like kids and kids that think they are adults
Kids increased and adults decreased
And the UA-camrs r the fake giveaway channels
Everyone made the game cringey, that’s a main reason.
Totally agree to this
Yeah
Yeah. I used to have fun, but the community ruined it for me
"we like Fortnite, we like Fortnite" so much cringey BS came from this game and just turned it into a laughing stock for loads of players and that only increased and increased as kids became more noticeable....... I enjoyed Fortnite for the first 4, maybe 5 seasons but after that it was a big rip to me.
Cringey? No it’s really the little kids training every day to be “good”
As a Fortnite regular player.. I must admit that the game has had a notable decline, and this is to be expected every game has its cycle.. it blows up like crazy and everyone talks about it ( and plays it)and at some point something new comes or just people are not enjoying it as much. However despite it's notable decline in popularity I don't think it's dead by any means. I'm surprised its held up , the zero built that came recently has given somewhat of a fresh start (somewhat)
Great video. It’s very interesting to sit back & review the journey this game has been on after living through it. I know, due to Epic, this isn’t possible, but I would honestly find it very fun if they just closed the game down w/one final month of the game being reverted to its early state. As is the case for everything, all good things must come to an end. But I’ll never forget the amazing times I had playing the early stages of this game
At this point, Fortnite is just Disney Advertising shooter
At first they were just trying to help everyone win, but then they became money hungry
Exactly
I was in champion division making montages and having a lot of fun until chapter 2 I didn’t play season 1 barely played 2 and played an hour of 3 I haven’t touched season 4 and quit the game months ago, it’s just not fun having to full try hard every game because of sbmm
@@porpus8011 that's what's happens when games get competitive mate, they're just filled of sweats all the time
@@aerophine yeah but my point is games like rocket league and war zone both have pro leagues but absolute noobs can go in and have a blast without raging and having to get good to even compete
For me, the problem with Fortnite nowadays is that one moment you are in a fight with someone, and then the next moment that guy builds the whole fuc**ng city of Jerusalem complete with windows on buildings because he lost like 3 hp. And if you somehow manage to survive squeaky 11 year old Bob the Builder on steroids, you will most likely be killed by a flying shark or be abducted by a UFO or die in a volcano eruption or be completely obliterated by whatever other crap they added. I miss the simple times before season 4. Those were the good days...
I was trying to have fun in creative with some 9 year olds my niece added but since I haven't played in 1 year, I got destroyed and "boxed like a fish" What the fuck
Yeah this pretty much sums up the state of the game
underrated comment
I basically quit BR and now i play save the world because its better and less toxic
i mean, you cant really blame skill level, the more people play, the more skilled they are, but what i dont like is the toxic community, but it makes sense (this is my opinion ok)
My issue was the no new maps thing. They kept "updating" the map, but the updates made the map worse imo, they tried getting too cute with it, instead of just making multiple maps.
I think the biggest deterrent for me was losing the old style the game had
The old HUD
The inability to sprint
The inability to climb
I miss those things
So many of the additions just aren’t good to me
Yea I miss the originality:
.It was crazy, but not too crazy to not be fun
. Epic cared abt the game and saw it as a game and not a cash cow
. The community wasn't a wasteland
. There was a lot of collabs but not too much and not too ridiculous like now
@@scrubz5326 I agree but the new chapter does contradict some ideas. The collabs were kept to a minimum and the c2 style map was nice
Without adding new thnigs most people would have gotten bored
Yet if they do that, people will complain about that too
@@tomlxyz no they wouldn’t
Because the more people improve, the more they play, getting constantly used to the game’s mechanics kept them going, and those at the top of the food chain would feel challenged eventually, inspiring them to get better and so on and so forth
I didn’t hate all the changes, but since chapter 1 season 8, it’s been a downward spiral (at least for me)
Epic made billions. Their job is complete. They don't care anymore.
@@maheepsingh3861 are you kidding it's not even regularly it's like every month for a new season that gets slowly worse and worse and worse and worse they're going to bring out chapter 3 and then we're all going to quit that's what's going to happen they don't care about the game anymore it just keeps slowly getting worse and worse
@@maheepsingh3861 oh and also they added unfair mythics that you shouldn't even be allowed to get
@Robbo Chaplin problem every game dies, games could die in a month a year ect. Epic did a smart play they realized fortnite was dieing slowly and it would be dumb if they put more resources in the game.
@Leonard Gardner this would b a perfect season but those damn hands. Shouldnt even be a thing in squads
They don’t give a shit about the game now.
Fortnite is like a ex girlfriend, there where reasons why u liked her, but she isn't the same anymore
Damnn
Lmao
That shit hit spot on
Damn. This feels like a shotgun in the face.
jamanitsme damm lmao
for me it was the new vehicles and sprinting. back in chapter 1 seasons 1-5 the storm was an actual constant threat but now you can get through the map super fast. The first vehicles like shopping carts and golf carts were balanced but they got super cars and motorcycles now, ended up quitting fortnite by chapter 2.
im a season one day 1 player of the game and after my 4 year hiatus from the game i can definitly say i cant keep up with the sweats and tryahrds, even in no build mode (the main mode i play these days) im only somewhat competetive against the other sweats. The game is too convultued these days and icant wrap my head around the new the mechanics, the thing i said when i jumped back in was "when did they add sprinting to the game?"
ye it was way more casual back then. now there are way too many tryhards its not as fun for me like it was 4 years ago
I played at Jan 2018 for few months then I lost interest for while then recently when I tried going back into game. It just felt like complete different game to me which made it much harder for me get into it.
I just play with my friends and try to troll them but when we see a sweat, we do everything we can to eleminate them
im also a season 1 player, and indeed i also think tryhards kind of ruined the experience which personally made me stop playing for a long time, i recently started playing again thinking i would have the same issue, but somehow i dont, i manage to get 10 kills + matches and a good couple wins in a day without coming across a squad of tfues, kind of gaining love back for the game, but definitely not as likeable as the beginning
Bro you haven't played the game in 4 years obviously you're gonna be shit,give it some time learn the new weapons and mechanics and you'll get better naturally
This game has changed so much, I remember when u could shoot people and they might build a ramp at the most. Now when I shoot people they build a five star hotel with free WiFi and a water feature. This game sucks. Period.
Always has
Teonyi wouldn’t say that much...
Exactly, it’s like they want to play Sims instead of the actual game they are looking at
Yea never liked the game tho
Bro what if Galactus fuckin eats the chapter 2 map and brings back the classic one.
Game went from 20 yr old casual players to 12 yr old “pro players”
9 year old*
You can’t even earn money unless ur 13+
IcaFlames that’s why it’s funny
Preax.MT oh yeah
8-12 year old fortnite kids are the worse and if you are a teenager that plays fortnite not as a joke what are you doing
my friends that used to play fortnite all the time quit playing when they REMOVED the mechs. They always talked about how they would hide 4 mechs away in final circle and just spam them and they complained when the mechs were nerfed and removed
I think fortnite is learning from their mistakes. The extra modes added later, the support of fortnite creative, and even better collabs are bringing back a lot of players
No that's just them being unoriginal

I remember that 😂
Yes, happy memories 😂😂😅😦😥😢😭
Good times
I loved that time by insanely a lot
I remember in season 2 when me and my friend would go to the corner of the map, and practice building as building was becoming the meta, and we got pretty good at simple techniques and we started getting common wins but then they released playground and we started losing more and more, it was getting difficult to keep up with all the advanced techniques coming along and with SMGs making building harder we just quit
I started playing in season 5. I was 13 and it was the first multiplayer shooter I ever played.
Some of my best memories with the boys came from Fortnite and that was how I spent most of my time back then.
I eventually got so good that I'd win 8-9/10 matches I played. It got boring and I slowly stopped playing.
I picked it up again in chapter 2 season 2 and a lot had changed and it was fun again for little while.
I haven't played since 2020 but it has a special place in my memories for all the fun and all the rage that took place over the years
Bro i loved the time where good aim and rocket rides were called being good and not building 5 star hotels
Maninhu do you still play fortnite
At this point you can have the aim of a child with brain damage but if you build entire Paris you're considered good.
@@lolyourdumb well MANINHU is speaking facts tho

man we was scared of this black knight, everybody who has a skin back then was a serious threat lol, cant feel that nostalgia on fortnite rn because the game graphics just dont look the same
I must admit, I was a terrible builder in the game. When I first started playing I had no idea in what I was doing. Enjoying the 'zero build' mode. Great video.
Update: It's gotten even worse, guns are now secondary and are a minature part of the game.
It is literally a super power testing simulator at this point.
N now?
@@osceyhercy4826
What they're doing now is alright but the main good part is that they removed the stupid OP mythics and actually made the game about skill now.
I wouldn't describe epic games as "relativley unknown" before fortnite, they've made some massive games, and of course unreal engine
The key word is "relatively". Relative to now, yes Epic weren't at known before fortnite became big
Yea you missed the word "relatively."
Where unreal tournament updates at , kind of suck that they dropped that game for a br
Where has this guy been living under a rock? Epic games has been making games from 1997, I'd say Unreal Tournament is still one of the best games ever, if your going to make a video do your homework.
@@anthonya7303 Epic where HUGE in the early 90's everybody that played Unreal, and Unreal Tournament knew who they was.
The game felt different back then. I can’t describe it but it just had a different vibe, and now it’s just a huge ad.
Ikrrr. Unless u actually played back in season 0-3 you’ll never know just how different and amazing the game felt. Its so sad having played from the start and watching the rise and downfall of a great, unique game gone cliche, cringe and sellout.
@@itsemachine i'd count 4 aswell to REAL Fortnite
The game was an adventure, that's why. You didn't know every single square inch of the map, because the few places you did go to with your best mate were that damn addictive and beautifully simple. Building was advantageous in that you could overcome obstacles with it, build your own cover and if you were skilled even build yourself a neat little base with those artistic windows and corners. It'd take a couple minutes back then, but it made you feel so damn proud. The weapons and items themselves were something else aswell. What do I take? Purple Tactical or Green Pump? Why not Double Pump or why not one of each? Oh my god, you won't believe what I just found: a Gold Scar - the weapon that made you feel like you just won the lottery. This is gonna cause a huge fight in my squad over who gets to have it. The Tactical SMG was always trustworthy, the Silenced SMG was hated but it just felt right hating it, you know? We had Boogie Bombs, Rocket Launchers, Grenade Launchers, Clinger Grenades, Memebows, Chugjugs and so much more funny shit to live for.
What strategy are we practicing this time? Are we going to camp in bushes, make a skybase or rocket ride onto the last team?
Be careful though, there is a John Wick with wings! In the end of the day it doesn't matter though, does it? Doesn't matter if I have full shield, 50 shield or none. The only thing that matters is jumping around crazy with your enemy hoping to land any hits and that your shotgun does more than 9 damage this time. You wouldn't even be mad if you get sent back to the lobby. Losing doesn't take away from the exhilarating experience. I cannot wait to queue in for another round of Fortnite with my friends. Let's go!
exactly. it's an indescribable feeling.
There's nothing wrong with collaborating with other as long as it doesnt destroy the fortnite story.
Do love your content bro, very informative.
As an OG fortnite player, I have to say what killed Fortnite for me was 1) turbo build in Season 3, 2) playground mode, 3) the pointless weapons introduced. Earlier on, the game relied on your reaction time and decision making to build and fight, sure there were kinks they had to iron out like the aim assist on Xbox when aiming down sights (in particular the sniper). What really frustrated me was the level at which Epic tried to bridge the gap between players rather than balancing the game out with some sort of ranked mode earlier on, which they did release very late on. There is a sense of achievement when you put in the hard work and effort to get good at the game like I and many of my friends did. Once they made building easier and it was all about shotgun and CQCs, it wasn't a fun anymore there was no sense of achievement just brain dead BS.
It's a shame the game went that way and even now when I try to play the game (alright maybe a year ago) it's full of 'sweaty' players. Not planning on playing Fortnite anytime soon, Apex is better IMO.

It went downhill with skillbased matchmaking I hate that in video games I have a good game and out of nowhere I’m playing agains semipros
That's true. Most are literal pussies who think they're hard after than one headshot and do not even go to arena to keep their "skill" contained there.

@@ChurchillCreate u don't run into them in vc creative fill often :/
introducing zero build completely changed my views on Fort. it's so much fun now, especially with all the other new features
Agree
It's almost the end of 2022 and fortnite is still the top battle royale game just below Apex Legends and it would probably stay like that for the next two years since there are no big announcements that this genre (outside of Warzone 2 which probably eats up warzone player base instead)
i saw this late, every decade has a game for it, last decade was minecraft, this is fortnite, next is unknown until it happens
This game isn’t even old and it gives me nostalgia feels the community changed so fast the wave of toxic 7 year olds was too much for me to handle.
Facts bro. But the game is kinda old
Fortnite was made back in 2011, battle royale mode in 2017
The old community was worse all they do is cry cry cry
Yeah didn’t realize how old this shit is. I kinda miss playing season 1 with friends at midnight
Shut up they're not 7 YO they are 9
Epic games themselves ruined the game without putting any meaningful updates until they start losing money. And dont even get me started on the cancerous community.
I like Fortnite as a game, but everything surrounding it... ruined it
They made a bunch of updates, trying to edge the game towards normal players, but the pro players got annoyee, they had meaningful updates, they just got turned down by the same people who conplain about "not enough updates"
@@dayna6646 THEN they do exactly what the pros want of 6 months of no crazy updates, a balanced loot pool, and daily cash cups. THEY STILL COMPLAINED
Dayna you keep defending the game in every comment, stop. The game is shit.
The same thing is happening to Mobile Legends.
And the devs are making the game worse and worse every single season, they add broken heroes, nerf them into the ground.
They don’t fix their balancing, and only buff *meta heroes*
BrandonJustPlays Δ ur shit I enjoy the game come on man stop ripping on people just bc they like the game its bad it your eyes
i remember playing this game before it took off…before all of the trash that was thrown into it through the years. back when Dakotaz and High Distortion would post duos together. the double pump being discovered. when the launch pad first came out, it was the most fun i’ve ever had to jump across the map and land on someone. this was probably one of the best games ever made and somehow they let it crash and burn
The first few months were amazing man
I agree that the game has fallen off but it is still very very popular and I think recently the game has been somewhat fun

The no build mode has actually made this game fun and very enjoyable again
I used to hate this game because it was cool to hate it, then I actually played it, and it's really good. They constantly update it, have many game modes and creative maps, and actual lore.

I don’t know what it was, but after maybe season 7 or 8 it started to feel less and less like Fortnite and some other game altogether...
The Meta is just so bad
Yes I agree :(
Season 3 and below was the only favourite by many
U grew up
Yeah, I'm not sure if it was from the big lighting changes, movement changes, or whatever, but I feel like it may be from feelings of big nostalgia. Cause I still play it, just not NEAR as much, but even I look back on my times from season 4 to about season 8 or 9, and I just feel like I'm playing a different game and I get on, do whatever, then get off, with nothing really taken away from my experience, when I have TONS of memories and feelings from back then.
and right now it just hit it’s all time peak and is on a new high. crazy
Tf?
No
Uhh no the most number of players is 2 million at most
Coming back to this now, it is fair to assume that Fortnite was gonna die but in the last season (Chap 4 season whatever atp idk) they peaked in player count. Of course with the whole og thing coming back they had over 44 million. I dont think Fortnite is going anywhere.

These games don’t last a long time because it’s just the same thing over and over again, save the world should’ve been the whole game then it would’ve been even more popular
i think chapter 2 season 2 was the best season i was able to play with people at my skill level and it was so much less complex then it is now. love your videos btw.
I played MW2, BO1, BO2, MW3, Minecraft, Halo 2 and 3, man you name it and I probably played it in it’s prime and nothing compares to the memories I made with the boys in Fortnite 2018-2019. I truly believe the release of playground was the start of the downfall people just sit in it all day practicing builds whilst the rest of us played like normal.
Edit: This video deadass made me almost tear up as a grown ass man I wish I could go back man I never knew I was in the best time of my life.
It went from just having fun to everyone sweating out the game 24/7
the matches were big.. the odds of having at least 1 drop of sweat in the game was inevitable
Sweating the new fun sadly
Yeah yesterday I went to my younger cousin. He literally had no pants on just he’s underwear and he was trash talking in the game while sweating
True
Well said
I remember just having fun. Skybases, Towers, Rocket Riding, Trickshotting, but now it's just a complicated game. It went from something that can be enjoyed to a GTA V Lobby with cars. It's all about the competitive scene. All about the money. And 0 fun.. sure you might've made 250 from the game, but did you have fun?
It’s always been about money making because the fan base is mainly 12>, and they’re easy to manipulate. The simplicity of the game back then is what made the game good, even though I still didn’t like it.
Imagine a oppressor Mk 2 in fortnite
Lol you all played it too much. I played seasons 1-3 and stopped until 9-10... just picked it up again and it’s basically the same game. You’re all just burned out don’t blame the game. Take a break.
@@CableReadyTechnoSIut I started from Season 1 and I ended at Season 5, got back onto it at Season 7, and I played it 2 times a week, then in Chapter 1 is when I stopped. Now I edit for Fortnite UA-camrs and it's the same crap, Sweat, Pyramids, and Cash Cup. Every single player plays the same, they all over build. You crouch to make a friend they immediately kill you.
@CableReadyTechnoSIut I only played it for like 2 days in season 4 and another in season 10, I don’t like repetitive gameplay. I didn’t explore the whole thing but I know it probably would’ve been better if I spent a little more time on it.
For me it was the lazy battle passes and the far-too-many collabs following the “MCU season”

@@Victious911 stfu
I agree, I was once doing a sky base for fun, but then I was shot down and laughed at. I don’t get it. I was just trying to have fun and I get shot down and laughed at.
I don’t get why people think the community is just nine-year-olds just let us enjoy the game toxic Star Wars fan boy
I think the issue with Fortnite is everytime there's something fun everyone has something to complain about which then leads to the game changing so big streamers and figures can enjoy it more than casual fans.
Notice how everyone complaining in the intro was mostly pro players
As someone who has played fortnite since the start i play the game right now but i took a very long pause cause it just wasnt fun and cartoonish anymore. Old fortnite had those cartonny graphics and it looked nicer than this super realistic graphics right now also with the fact that old fortnite was so much more funner to just hop on a game after school and get some easy kills and have memories. Its too competitive now but i do like the zero build addition that they added it does make me a little nostaglic sometimes.
It literally consists of toxic children and people who sweat like their actual life and family is on the line. I’ve been playing since the beginning, and it’s a solid game. The community and more recents updates have steered me away. I bought the battle pass for this season but the first impressions of this season weren’t good so I just haven’t played it a lot. Waste of my money essentially, as I never play anymore.
fortnite was never my favorite game but now i rather watch netflix then get pissed off playing a bullshit game
Thats pretty much my story too.
I switched from Poopnite to Rocket League, I find it easier for me to actually play and I buy cosmetics like Black Markets frequently and play it so much to the point where if I go to Poopnite for some reason, I play like a wet sock, Especially season 1 chap 2, Literally all I did was play Minecraft. The damn game never peaked for me anymore and it's gone very sad and bad. And like you said, the community is also bad and sad. Because of this trash community, whenever I do play, I'm either with my cousin, alone or my two other friends. But they hardly play too which I see the reasoning.
Imma go watch Shrek vs Shaggy now
I have a recommendation for you, play some planetside 2, free to play, largest combined arms game in the world, it's not battle royale, it's better, just make sure to find a nice communicative outfit to make your first hours more enjoyable.

As someone who played Fortnite a whole lot, i would have quit very early if they didn't add playground mode or creative mode, it was a super fun way of playing with friends, the only way to do 1v1's and probably my favourite update ever, Fortnite was getting a bit repetetive for me, but with the addition of creative mode, you could do so many more things
It was truly game over for Fortnite as soon as they added the mecs, good times tho man I’ll never forget them days, may have been the most fun multiplayer game I ever played
It got competitive, and like most games after a while, boring

Because they brought back old map. Now that chapter 5 is here, which is the worst by far, fortnite is going to decline again
No they didn’t they hit the peak sense 2022. Do you really think a game with 500 million+ players peak is 6 million active players in a day?
This game will never die. But unfortunately people like me, just cant play anymore. Me and my friends used to play it because we enjoyed it.. But nowadays you only play against sweaty kids. Its dying when it comes to fun.

When this came out everyone was waiting for the end of fortnite, but somehow over 2 years later, fortnite is in such a better place than then.
Not really
Despite all odds, Fortnite has turned a profit in recent years with their revenue. In 2021, they even surpassed the money they made at their peak in 2018. Fortnite is still going strong and is in a much better place than the time at which this video was posted.
Remember when fortnite used to fun and not a giant ad for marvel and impossible to play because everyone plays like they’re competing for 1 million dollars
This is, to me, the worst batlle pass and one of the worst seasons ever.
I play a lot of creative with my friend, cause i have real fun there, and no one goes tryharding aganst each other.
Have you given it a chance? Me and my friends thought the same thing until we played it and it’s a lot better than it seems
The game evolved just like every other game on the market if you couldnt keep up with the rising skill gap then its your fault really epic cant change the skill gap it's a natural thing
Either get better or keep complaining about how everyone is a sweat imo the lather options sounds better
@@1mphulse the skill level didn't increase naturally though, creative pushed it to being the most competetive game on the damn planet which is a damn shame since it was meant to be targeted towards teens who had a life outside of videogames

Kind of gone out of date now as the OG fortnite map has come back and it reached its highest amount of players ever because of it
This is the comment I been sending to kids who said Fortnite isn’t dead when it is:
*People should realize that the game had at most averaging 500k people playing the battle royale mode during Chapter 4 season 4 everyday. Along with below 100k players on the No build mode of the game. With 400k in the creative part of the game. Totaling 1 million players give or take. Same goes with the entirety of Chapter 4 but give or take depending on each season. Meaning Chapter 4 Season 4 in total have 1 million players give or take. But when the OG map came in Chapter 4 Season 5, it went from 1 million total players to a record breaking 5 million players. 3.1 million for the OG battle royale mode, 1 million for the no build mode, and 1 million in the creative part of the game give or take.*
*That goes to show how it went downhill to eventually a temporary uphill. Which still means that Fortnite is dead and it will lose its player base once this OG season which excuse the lack of quality Chapter 4 have passes away.*
*In Chapter 1 and 2 it had 10s of millions of players playing the game everyday. Now it barely can reach 1 million until this OG season which hit 5 million players and that further proves that Fortnite is dead. I definitely can say it died after Chapter 2. Chapter 3 and 4 had no story, no seasons, barely any updates, and worst map changes of all time. Chapter 3 and 4 is shorter compare to Chapter 1 and 2.*
*As of now I eventually am proven right considering right now it lost 1 million players from the battle royale mode in just 2 days. Right now it has below 2 million players playing the OG season instead of 3.1 million. Even the build mode which used to have 1 million players now have decreased. Along with the creative part have also decreased. So now it went from 5 millions players to around 3 million players give or take.*
*The reason is because the OG players who quit Fortnite have downloaded Fortnite to check the OG map. But the unfortunate part of this is the fact that since they quit, they have now missed out on the new mechanics that if they haven’t quit, they would have learn those mechanics by now. Such as sprinting, mantling, sliding, building, and so on. The moment they redownload Fortnite, the moment sweats and the game that the OG players haven’t played in a long time had eventually made them quit the game.*
*Now it is official that Fortnite leakers have said that Fortnite isn’t actually bringing the OG Chapter 1 map to the fullest extent. They are not going to bring back the volcano, the infinity blade, the temple at the volcano, the castle from the snow biome, and much more. Meaning this isn’t even an OG Fortnite map. Just a worst ripoff. Why even claim it OG when it is not OG? They should name it “Fortnite OG Ripoff” and not “Fortnite OG Season”.*

Does anyone remember when the game was getting big and you had to wait in a queue to play the game?
They still have the qqueue. Never took it out.

Sunny: fortnite may have been mishandled, but a large part of the decline is that gameplay gets boring over time. *20 year old CS kicks down the door*
It’s because cs is the same gameplay where the skill gap is noticeable but achievable, the same aspect (building) that made the game stand out also creates a huge skill gap
There is an even larger skill gap in CS which is created by a variety of different skills which can be honed; far more than the building skill in fortnite. CS also features many of the “playground (or whatever their practice mode is)” aspects in the form of custom aim maps, prefire maps, movement maps, and nade practicing maps, and the existence of these tools that help widen the skill gap has not been a detriment to the growth or longevity of the community, contrary to sunnys thesis.
Joseph Rushing Cs:go is great, nothing to be said about that it is shit. If you don't like the game, you don't like it. Kappa. But calling the game trash is impossible in my eyes until you have put a few hours in it and played something else than matchmaking like esea or faceit.. god i love cs, it made me quit fortnite for good and it was a good change in my life. Way more mature community, and actual enjoyment instead of stress in a 'comp' match..
@MrAlkaline I agree CS is way better; I’ve been playing for a couple years and it’s still my number one game. All I’m saying that fortnite didn’t die because the skill gap was too high (although the lack of a ranked system makes this way harder on noobs in fortnite) or because gamers lose interest in games over a couple of years, since CS has both of those features and is still chugging along after 20 years
Joseph Rushing it is still beeing a very good game, and why? Because there is nothing like cs, when you see a play you insyantly know what is happening, you know if its good or not. The game is also great since there are barely any updates, only bugfixes (not gonna talk about matchmaking and vac ;( , that's why we have good old faceit and esea) and every once in a while a mapchange, like we had on dust.. csgo is unbeatable, it's just lovely.
2 years after this video and there are still millions of players on at any given time
This didn't age well Fortnite is popping still in 2024
Another reason of the downfall is that the community doesn’t know what it wants, they wanted a new map, they got it and now they want the old one again, people wanted no op or crazy weapons they got it and complained that there was no crazy and fun weapons.
It’s a mix from bad updates, dumb community and the game getting old
Basically a bunch of crybabies
Wow and its haters are also some .....
I think that Epic could have made another map and have it rotate like Apex does. The community is also so diverse, but Epic really only listens to the "pro streamers" that turbo build like crazy.
wow you just perfectly said what i wanted to say
They just listen to popular players
First started playing religliously back in season 2. It was super fun but started to decline around season 5, and by season 8 I barely played, it being the first battlepass I didnt complete. I didnt really play again until the new chapter, where it was meh. Chapter 2 season 2 was really good, and i completed the battlepass, same with season 3 although it wasnt as fun. Season 4 I barely even remember, same with everything after that. I only played every now and then once every couple months or so with friends, and boy did the game decline. Now that the old chapter 1 season 5 map is back, and the game is more simple, ive actually enjoyed playing it. Thanks for anyone who read this.
