Chapter 5 felt like a testing ground to see how the community would react to certain things Season 1 -see if slower movement is better -bullet drop Season 2 -See if strong melee items is a good ideas -See if players are fine with going off the seasons theme midway through the season Season 3 -Seeing if the community likes non gun oriented combat -Seeing if it’s better to make the game more fun than sweaty Season 4 -Seeing if we like flying based combat -Seeing if we would like season remakes in the future With a whole chapter of surveys chap 6 gotta be good💀💀
Yeah. I hope that this was just a phase of extreme testing and that they go back to pre-chapter 5 style. It’s fine to experiment but changing so many things at once is going to alienate people who aren’t new to the game
I feel s2 is a bit of a stretch, we really didn't get many melee weapons aside from chains of Hades. In fact that was the only new melee weapon we got that season. I feel like a better point for s2 would be something like, see if colabs could carry a season or, see how long a seasons theme could carry it without many updates. Also s4 flying combat is also a stretch.
idk why so many people forget this but the epic literally said chapter 5 would be an experimental chapter so what your saying actually seems to hold alot of truth, makes me excited for the future and what they do based off the feedback
It's pathetic how Doom was hyped up to be this nearly unstoppable boss that killed most of Marvel's heroes and villains just so he could be beaten in less than an hour by some people with guns.
@@jeffreyknutson they have to bring back the rarities aswell, no one asked for them to remove it, the only reason they did is to shove instruments in bundles to make them more expensive
You'd think that but the meta verse will only continue the same trend that Chapter 5 did. For context, I usually put in about $90 and that used to last me a couple seasons at maximum. This season alone, I spend $270 because of all the various Collabs. Thanks meta verse. Disney also already has put up extra restrictions on their cosmetics so you can use Mickey in BR for example. Or hell even Lightning McQueen in BR. If I'm gonna purchase cosmetics, they better be available in the majority of the maps and modes I might wanna play. While I take a certain amount of financial responsibility and self control into account, I also wanna point out the virtual shoes being a cosmetic. They've added Instruments and Legos into bundles now. Now they wanna make us buy virtual shoes. Like wtf is Epic thinking????
You mad you are spending more momey because there are more thing you like? Like you are spending more because you are buying more skins, not because they are more expensive yk@@charlesbomerschein9707
Graphics aren't cartoony, movement is...clunky, no hitscan x bullet drop projectile, meaningless skins and collab skin are exhausting, marvel x disney fatigue, metaverse fail, entire car royale season, jet pack teleport x gauntlets metas, .,..this entire chapter is L. CH2 remix and ch6 better bring it Warzone and fortnite copy a lot from each other, recently announced map rotation and resurgence/reload maps which warzone has for 4 years now in rotation too as low as 3 maps. COD saw the success of OG season November 2023, thus Verdansk, the OG warzone map comes after years for its 5th anniversary this march 10 2025. And another big map too, Avalon, maybe map rotation for big BR maps?
Yh same for me, og season was a blast, the movement doesn’t do it for me, instead of improving on it they made it clunkier. Made worse ui got rid of rarities for skins. Ch5 was asscheeks from my first impressions and the movement was the decider to quit, haven’t touched the game since then
The map kinda lacked any character. Even with the chapter 2 map which was a rollercoaster, at least there were memorable locations. No one’s gonna say “I want grim gate back”
It's kinda crazy how I've been playing this chapter since the first season and I can only remember 2 pois. The only chapter I have this problem with btw
@@Ჽenseliterally only like the train station poi that used to have a mythic spawn there and they got rid of it for fake fatal fields. Literally no where else to land, every sucks or is bland or both
Ive been pretty much consistently playing since the beginning of the game and this chapter was the first time i took a 3 season long break. I don't really have a lot of expectations for the game anymore, i just hope it doesn't get drastically worse.
@@swampyfn1380Why? The new ones look fine and they don’t actually affect your gameplay. Nothing wrong with the old animations but there’s kind of no point in going back now that Fortnite spent a lot of time and money not the new ones.
@@lightlingzooma-69 it is literally worse wdym, its so much smoother holding and switching to guns. YOU LITERALLY DO A BOT WALK WHEN PULLING THEM OUT WTF. It makes building feel ass and just walking around without sprinting. Also building and edititing looked cooler with the old movement
If Fortnite had gone mainstream as a metaverse/roblox style game, then nobody would complain. But the fact the game that blew up was the battle Royale, that’s what people know it as, means they will never accept it as a metaverse game. Roblox got popular as an all-in-one game, and that’s what people know it as, it’s basically a playground for anything to exist in it, and that’s WHY people love it. So if Roblox decides to change their game by taking modes away, people will not like and move on to a different game, the same like what’s happening Fortnite but in the opposite direction
technically speaking, fortnite battle royale could be considered a metaverse since it was an offshoot of save the world. Fortnite is a great battle royale but eventually, that genre will phase out and Fortnite is adding something more for them to last longer as a game.
@@spooked1737I actually agree with you too. At one point Minecraft was smut known as an open-world survival game, but not it has so many different ways to play the game. There are smps, maps made by the community (and Mojang themselves), etc. That’s kind of what I feel like Fortnite is going for because they want as much players as possible, and they know have a lot more variety is the best way to do that. The only thing that they’ve got to get better at is being able to balance both Battle Royale and their other modes.
@@GospodinPreSvegait’s like they can literally just mix them both, if we genuinely just go back and regress in chapter 6, this shit is gonna be so ass 💔
I do think bullet drop is a good idea as it stops turning every gun into a sniper and adds more skill into long ranged combat but it could be less heavy
I'm honestly done with Ch. 5's Meta. 1. Get the OP Medallion 2. Get the Collab Mythic that Defined the Season. (TMNT, WATERBENDING, MAGNETO, IRON MAN/SHIELD). 3. Touch Water for Teleport, not Grass. 4. Modify your Bullet-Drop Gun in a random Vault (even if it's in the Storm) or else... you lose. Reload just feels more rewarding and worth my time. Fetching Medallions and dealing with Crossover Gimmicks has been the definition of this Chapter.
@@geraldwhite2676brother the tmnt mythics were in for the very last few weeks of season 1. And the iron man jets and shields are not good. Also you don’t have to touch the water to win
@@homersimpson1949 First of all... Which is better? A. The Faulty Grappling Blade that was inconsistent and led to faulty movement? B. The TMNT Mythics that Allowed players to use them as Kinetic Blades yet also you can double jump and use multiple times? Apparently you weren't playing much of that season. I get it, brother. The Iron Man Mythics defined this season with the BS Jet Packs. Are you not paying attention? And People with Teleport ability versus someone who doesn't have it? It's like Tracer versus a sitting Duck who's confused on where to aim... In a blink of an eye. You Must have been in Bot Lobbies. You really are clueless, brother. Only idiots defend this Chapter.
I HATE the weapon mods, it feels like you need them to even use the gun. And I believe it stops them from making creative choices when it comes to guns. Chapter 4 has some great examples, like the twin mag guns and the twin mag ar’s scope. With the mods they can’t do anything creative like that. I hope they leave in Chapter 6.
This, I really hate when someone lands next to me, and I can't even trust the first gun that I can get cause it might be thermal scope SMG with the worst hip fire accuracy ever.
To sum it up, it’s just too corporate now. Realism (constantly improving graphics, realistic graphics instead of cartoony, bullet drop, new realistic movement, weapon attachments, first person aim-down-sights), the most new collabs of all time, the metaverse being forced on the players, UI changes that are meant to help out Disney in the locker and shop, and just clearly inflating the price of skins despite them claiming no rarities does not mean their prices will increase.
I agree with you, except the collab part. Pirates of the Caribbean is kind of old and is not that well known by younger kids. Avatar in my country is only known by a couple of nerds (I use the term in a non offensive connotation). Ninja Turtle is kind of mixed. Some know it some don't. Disney stuff is hated by kids that try to act as grown ups (most of them). The only exception is Mrs Incredible but... That's for another reason. Edward Scissor Hands, Texas Chainsaw Massacre are old movies and franchises that don't sell that much today (besides edgy acting people or people like me that are a bit older). The only "relevant" collabs they brought this Chapter were Venom (cause of the new movie), Lethal League (for memes) and maybe some that I don't remember.
@@SoniaRomano97I think what he means is the fact that epic is just shoving collabs down our throats. A collab every now and then is cool, but now it seems like every 2 weeks we get a collab and it takes away from the creativity epic once had. To me atleast, everytime we get a collab nowadays it’s just like “hey cool Optimus prime is in the game *moving on*” like it’s just not special anymore
@@SoniaRomano97 Dude, what are you on about, my whole family including my FOUR YEAR OLD brother knows what Pirates of the Caribbean is. Avatar is one of the most highly regarded cartoon shows of all time and is extremely popular all over the world. Ninja Turtles I can agree on, but Disney stuff is not hated by kids, why do you think it's so popular in the first place? Despite being old movies Edward Scissor Hands, Texas Chainsaw Massacre are highly regarded or at least known by younger people. Sorry if I came off rude but most of this is just wrong at least IMO.
@@sleep170 Or maybe we living in different countries is the actual problem. I'm a teacher and I talk everyday with kids. I know what they watch and like and what they don't watch and don't like. Maybe here it's just different. That's all. And please calm down... Second of all I'm not a dude... Here kids (I'm talking about 10-14 years old) just watch a lot of adult stuff. I know that is not good for them but I'm not their parents, I can give some advice to them and to the parents, but in the end it's not something I can do a whole lot about. Culture and society are things so big that no single person can change. Here kids just listen to Trap (Trevis Scott is really big, Kendrick Lamar and so on). Favorite shows are Breaking Bad, The Boys and so on. The only cartoons they watch are anime (but the kind of anime that is full o violence and s*x). Some here even get bullied for liking kids stuff. But I'm glad to hear that is not the norm everywhere.
4:38 Thank you! Finally someone said it. Honestly, chapter 4 is perfect combination of realism and cartoony. I have no idea why people hate it so much. And I’m saying this as OG player. I’ve seen many CH 2 players say that “but chapter 2 graphics is a good mix of cartoony and realism”. It’s really not, plus the saturation is way too much. Anyways, the whole chapter 5 is painfully mid. This whole chapter felt rushed, I feel like they were suppose to add more but was canceled or scrapped
I think this chapter played too risky with adding too many changes at once. This game is doing the opposite of whatever made fortnite good. Imo, the best season we got was the first once after a few tweaks (medallion nerf + slight movement change)
The whole entirety of Fortnite would never be deleted. If that happened, all of the playbase would scream, cry or get very mad that it was shutting down forever. Maybe reread what you've just written next time?
I was having some really hard times during chapter 5 season 3 which I know is not the games fault but was what I had to go through at the time. Because my dog past away well he wasn’t really our dog he was originally my uncles so he lend him to us to take care of. But back when the season started at the time me and my family have been taking turns watching over him cause he was panting so hard and hasn’t been eating enough of his food much. So my mother brought him to the vet to see what was wrong with him and she said that his spleen was giving him a lot of pain which explained why he was barely eating. Which she also added that they can remove it if he had enough blood for him to make the surgery happen. Which was a success which I thought would solve everything but he only lasted a couple of months later before we decided to let him go which before we made that decision we’ve been giving him some walks for him to live his last moments with us but there was one problem he was also suffering from. What was worse about his condition was that he had a random tumor on his back end which was looking really infected when ever he had to do his business which I don’t want to describe the details. But then on I came up with an idea that me and my family should take a family picture with him to memorize him by. And we even celebrated his 15th birthday early before we had to say our final goodbyes on that same day. It’s been really hard for me but mostly my sister since she loved and adored him with her life when ever she’s in her room with him while working on her upcoming college exams. But he’s gone now and I’m really going to miss him for helping us on getting through these tough times we’ve had these past years with him
I feel that cuz I had to put my dog down literally the other day because he was having seizures despite his medicine and he also had hip displasia and after that seizure episode, he couldn't use his back legs anymore. My condolences for your loss although a bit late.
Yeah. And when he talks about season 2 he says that the only new weapon is Zeus Lighting... That is just not true. I do remember seeing the Malice and Dominion bundle age restricted when i was playing season OG.
@@SoniaRomano97 I see a trend that this guy loves to be negative a lot and really pessimistic. He’ll sprinkle a few positive videos here and there, but for the most part he loves to just hate. I have no problem with criticizing the game but saying that all the seasons were bad in the thumbnail is too much.
@@lightlingzooma-69You said you understand criticism but at the same time can’t respect the opinions of others. You may disagree with him but that doesn’t make your opinion more valid than his.
Can't wait for you and the community to suddenly have a 180 on Chapter 5 once the next chapter rolls around, people are already doing that with Chapter 4 so it's not unrealistic to think that Chapter 5 will suddenly be glazed not even a year later
That’s genuinely the problem with these videos, I loved chapter 5 and all but like the community will always do a 180 and act like “oh yes this chapter was always great!” when in reality yall didn’t even fuck with it. The same thing happened with chapter 4 and it got me so confused cuz didn’t we all agree that that chapter sucked ass?
@@DatMartianChristhis usually happens when fort gets worse. I hate ch5 and trust me I will not do a 180. It happens too there’s when the game gets so much worse over time that they realize “yea ch5 sucked but not as bad as this”
the realism made the game look depressing and bland ngl. i love the old cartoony style and bright colors and how silly the game was, it allowed u to actually have fun and enjoy gaming with friends
They changed everything we didn’t want to be changed like locker ui and rarities and didn’t address any criticism regarding it and we’re forced to accept it
@@Juicy_wiwi exactly, and now here we go going right back to og again when ch6 starts. Thankfully it’s a separate game mode, but still they bring back og Fortnite bc they are trying to make up for the horrible experience of ch5. And it’s sad that epic listens to feedback and doesn’t all at the same time. They only listen to feedback when the entire community is against it. Especially content creators
@@gamerbeast3616 yes it does lol it looks funky and the pickaxe pulls out very weirdly. you probably didn’t experience the original movement so you wouldn’t know
This Chapter was not bad for me. It had some interesting ideas, of course some worse than others. Seasons 1 and 4 are solid, with decent loot pools and fun gameplay. Season 4 did have a problem with the jetpack. They were basically necessary in each game if you wanted to place high. It did not help when Epic made it harder to find the jetpack; it just made it worse. Season 2 was very boring to me mainly because of the very similar "New" weapons like the Harbringer SMG and Warforged AR. Besides the weapons, the new POIs were great, the return of Midas was fun, and the Avatar collab was dope. Season 3 to me was pretty fun with the new weapons like the Tow Hook, Boom Bolt, Tri-Beam, and the return of the Combat AR and Shotgun. The only problem with Season 3 was the issue with the cars and Nitro Fists. Epic could not balance these things for some reason, they could have made the fists more like the katana and reworked the car weapon attachments. Overall this chapter to me is a 7.5/10
I agree with this, chapter 5 wasn't bad even though i think that chapter 5 is like top 3 in my personal ranking but i feel like bullet drop was a bad idea, also i though the metaverse was going to ruin br so i hated it but now i can see that this is not the case and br is doing well and even as a great storyline so good for me. Overall 8-8.5/10 chapter.
1:06 gonna have to disagree, 2020 fortnitemares was the best, had shadow midas and when you died you came back as a ghost to kill the last players, youd rack up 40 kill wins and feel like your the last person on earth in a epic brutal zombie movie
I legitimately think that the bigger and smaller Fortnite creators should come together and create a petition or hashtag movement to bring back rarities, because it is legitimately a scummy move to do that, and then blatantly increase cosmetic prices even thought they promised they wouldn’t. Because without the creator’s support Fortnite would suffer greatly, because their biggest free marketing tool is the creators. They have literally never had to pay for a tv commercial or anything except for UA-cam and twitter ads, and became the biggest game of all time, all because of the tons of viral moments created by Fortnite content creators. So you have to hit them where it hurts to get the things we want.
Rarities wouldn't make a difference. That's what they used to justify the higher prices they chose in the first place and it stopped having much meaning long ago.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but weren’t legendary skins always 2000 vbucks or 20 dollars, and every collabs skin would likely just end up being legendary so they can charge that. My biggest issue with it is the lack of 800 vbucks skins now and the even more difficult and annoying locker room navigation with no rarities to help you find and remember where stuff is
@@gamerbeast3616 I know some people like it and other's did not but personally I did not enjoy it, I hope you did . I just thought it made the game fell clunky and to realistic for me. have a good day
I personally like the projectile system they have rn, more skill needed especially in zero build, I feel like hitscan in zero build would remove a lot of the skill required to kill others
I've been playing since 2017, and this is just my opinion, but honestly, Chapter 1 and Chapter 3 were honestly the two chapters so far that were for the most CONSISTENTLY fun. Chapter 2 and Chapter 4 had some amazing seasons too like Ch2 S2, Ch2 S4, Ch2 S7, Ch4 S1, Ch4 S4, but overall I found myself having the most fun throughout Chapter 1 and Chapter 3.
The vast majority of Fortnite players isn't as chronically online as we are, and they're probably having a fun time regardless. Many of my friends, even my dad, loved this chapter. They're much less skeptical/critical than we are.
They gave us fortnite classic and everyone loved it, then they went and did the opposite thing with ch5 season 1 right after. Idk what they were thinking. We want a more classic feel
Trust me know one’s gonna hate you for your opinion. This chapter was MID to ASS. So many things wrong bullet drop, ass graphics, clunky movment, too realistic graphics, attachments, focused more on metaverse and ufen than battle royal, prices, season 3!!!!!, BORING seasons, cosmetic rarity being removed, everything stuck in the bundle which I didn’t care about because I was getting the full bundle but when I got Eddie Brock I wanted to buy the she venom pickaxes but of course stupid and money hungry fortnite doesn’t let me do it. Theirs more I don’t like about this chapter but I forgot what they are. Also did I say this season was boring… oh yeah I did but I’ll say it one more time this chapter was overall BORING mainly with the updates getting boring fast and wasting so much potential. Ps I see the hate comments you’ve been saying and you are wrong but that’s your opinion. I never said everything was bad there were some good things but they didn’t last long. The statistics proves my point that this was the worst chapter. I also respect them for trying something new but everything got old within a week. I didn’t think this was a horrible chapter but this is definitely the worst one compared to every other chapter.
brought back live events, content updates weekly, good collaborations, chapter wasn't afraid to try stuff new, chapter 5 isn't bad at all, if you played during chapter 4 you would know everyone was sick of that chapter more than this one, even chapter 2 players quit and etc
Play fortnite save the world and you realize that the original graphics have not stood the test of time. The more streamlined graphics aren't bad at all.
If you were any good then this chapter would have been better for you , and you wouldn't sound like such a CRY BABY KID ! ..in the mean time, may I suggest ..GETT'N GOOD NOOB !
Okay but it’s good that they cater to new players. There are more new players than old and that number will continue to grow. Although newer players honestly have it worse, because this chapter was epic not giving their best. We’ve seen their best and know what they can give us.
This has always been a really funny quandary to me. You know what I mean. Like when people start complain about wanting their games to get better, and when changes are made, they just bitch about wanting everything to be the same at it was. That makes no sense! Geez! You basically sound like the "cranky old man" that just sits around telling everyone that ... "Things were better back when I was playing the "REAL" game!". And we all know that sort of statement is total bull. Hell, I'm 59 years old. (OG-OldManGamer in most games I play now), and started plying Fortnite with my kids a just a couple of days into Chapter 2, Season 3. And when I first started playing, I thought that all of the controls were funky, and that the keyboard responses were way to sluggish. And characters couldn't slide, climb walls, pile drive through another player and knock them over (or at least mess up their shot). You also couldn't use - what I would think of as "Natural Skills", like punching and kicking! Not to kill another player with, but at least give you an extra few seconds to make an escape. But that said ... I am lucky I guess. I slowly got used to it all, and then during Chapter 5, they started adding ways to tweek how quickly your keyboard will react, and my oldest son showed me how to adjust the controls to how I like to play. After that, I haven't complained about how the controls work until trying ROCKET RACING. And Wooh! I had to make a serious mental shift in order to accomidate for the game physics! For example - Skid around corners makes you go faster?! Lava floating in mid-air, or being a wall?! Driiving upside down inverts your steering on the fly?! Slamming into the ground at 700 km per hour (or what I call 434.96 mph) does nothing to your car?! Running into other drivers, without the cost of being damaged and having to finish the race by having to go slower?! But hey. I kept playing it, and after a while I started to get the hang of it. Practice, practice, practice right?! Here's the other thing - I know that a lot of people are complaining about a little "realism" being added into the game. And the same people also complain about they want it to be more cartoony with how the characters look. But if that's one of your complaints - build an Ol School PC and load it up with Windows 95, or XP, and play the older games that run and look that way! There are HUNDREDS of them! with how much we have to pay for decent computer to play games on now-a-days, I want my graphics to be beautiful to look at, and make the world feel like another world! Not as choppy old cartoon!! I want my games to advance with it's looks, sounds, movement, story telling, and game play! And I want them to be fun! And I am sorry to tell people - In order to do that, the game creators have to make changes every once in a while, and find out what works and what doesn't. And that's A-OK by me. At least I know that they are trying - and at least EPIC Games listens to the players!! I've been wating since the days of freaking PONG (1972 to you kids out there) to play video games that not only had a decent story to them, but also games that had great graphics, music, and the abitity to interact with other players! So to me, all of this stuff is great!!! So my suggestion is, Play the game. If they make changes you like, or changes you don't like, tell EPIC. Whining to other players that fell like you do, doesn't help. It just creates hate talk. And hate talk just creates more hate talk. And we have enough of that in the real world. All that being said, I do get what you are saying. But it's just like everything, it's a personal perseption. And we are all going to feel about the changes differently. And sometimes when something you like gets changed, deep down inside we kind of take it personally. So try shaking it all off, and look forward to the Chapter. And cross your fingers that you like that one more. And like I said earlier. If they are doing things you don't like, and you want an older look and feel to your games. Build that Ol School PC. It's pretty darn cheap to do, and there were some really cool games that my friends played together! Way back in the late 1990's and early 2000's. Back when we would bring our PC setups to each others homes, and set up a private network and play games for hours and hours!!!! We hyad a blast! And you can still do that over the current internet too. It just takes someone in your friends group to have a PC as a personal server everyone could cennect with.
Tbh i dont think the avatar skins being bundled w their pickaxes for 2000 v bucks is something to be upset about. I remmeber buying terrible 2000 v buck skins that came with hardly a backbling in earlier seasons. Theyre literally avatar collab skins either pay 20 bucks for the licensing fees or just enjoy your other skins like
Tim Sweeny needs to be replaced. His decisions are ruining fortnite in his desire to create something that has already failed time and time again (the metaverse). There have been so many attempts at metaverses and all of them failed except for Roblox and VRChat which are still successful
Dude what hasn't even begun can't fail Disney has yet to really sink their teeth in there is not even truly a metaverse yet what you were seeing is the skeleton.... It's like me going into a construction building and it's nothing but i-beams and I'm calling it s***** because it looks s***** to me even though it's not finished in construction.... Like bro give the The newborn a chance to even breathe God damn
One of the problems I also have with projectile is that they restrict old guns from coming back because they were hitscan. If they do come back, they’re a totally different gun with bullet drop
While technically occuring just before Chapter 5, what bothered me the most in the leadup to it was the sudden removal of our Legacy Achievement Awards. I used to grind every season to get as many as I could, and I loved looking at that timeline as a mini calendar of my history with the game. Oh! That was the first day and time I landed on c2s7. And that was the day I got my 10th solo win that seasons! Etc. I even completed the fish collection book each season. And if you played during those seasons it existed you remember how hard it was to find the elusive White Slurp Fish. While not technically cosmetics, those awards felt like they were cosmetics to me, and removing them hit me as hard as if Fortnite removed a bunch of sprays I had spent hours upon hours grinding for :(
The worst thing about Chapter 5 is that it was a sad little heap of crap designed to cater to seemingly the entire known universe and apparently ended up appealing to no-one. The OG season was a population grab, 30M players iirc, all for it to get put down like a puppy with a lame knockoff version of the Season X event and be like, "hey, we're glad you liked this. get ready to throw it all away for this awesome new Roblox knock off!!!! we're so sure you'll love it that that is all the event will be about." ... And nobody ended up liking it, so they added Rewind as a last resort as to not kill the game entirely, with an island that is supposed to be OG but spiced up (shit on would be a better term) to make them feel good about themselves and think that they're being so slick when in reality it is the closest thing to a proper Fortnite experience since the OG season and they know it. Of course, Tim doesn't care and will run the franchise into the ground to get as much money out of it as possible.
If You sit yourself in a room with a newer player, viewer, generation, etc… and talk about how great things used to be they aren’t gonna care at all whether they were alive at that time or not. Our minds view almost ever aspect of the past as a simpler or better time and all it’s gonna do for you and make you depressed. You need to overlook those factors to really get an understanding of what is really important, and determining what is better helps nothing. And in that aspect I disagree with almost every thing discussed in this video.
I think this chapter had its ups and downs. A lot of the downs are in this video, so here are some of my favorite ups: - Medallions - Weapon Modding (I think there should be more mod benches around the map) - Midas Presents floor is lava - All the mini live events - An actual storyline with Pandoras Box - Day of Doom LTM -Nitro
I mean…. I’m with Fortnite on this one. You can’t release ALL marvel characters now. If not, there wouldn’t be more fan favourites in the future for more marvel stuff.
The jetpack wasn't removed because it was so bad, it was removed because it was suffocating the Fortnitemares gameplay I won't lie, I'm pretty sure whatever modes survive this shakeout of the first two years will develop fans just like Save the World did, just like Battle Royale did, and just like Creative did.
I think Festival survives just because we don’t really have anything else like it, the songs are ridiculously priced but in most cases you can still play them even if you don’t own them. Lego has a fanbase but it’s gonna need to be built up over a really long time as it’s still barebones, and I’m not sure anyone plays rocket racing unfortunately
@@aidanbohr4617 "I think Festival survives" I hope so. I started playing near the end of Chapter 4, Season 2 for my friend. After he took another break from the game post OG season. I pivoted to playing Festival only. Epic's decision to make the pass more accessible by changing it from the Festival Pass to the Music Pass, incorporating it into the rest of the game, and changing the progression from Festival points to XP, gives me the impression that they do not have faith in the mode. The revenue from the Festival Pass must not have been high enough to justify the costs of licensing the music and paying the featured artists.
@@aidanbohr4617Festival is fine because of the Guitar Hero and Band Hero players can get another online platform where they can nab each other over getting the highest scores. LEGO Fortnite has had consistent updates and the game is a lot better because of it along with the player feedback. Rocket Racing may have lost some reoccurring content updates, but that doesn't mean Epic is gonna pull the plug on that mode, as there are still players hanging around that mode. When you think about it, the metaverse is a great escape along with Creative and Save The World if players need a break from Battle Royale.
I have been playing Fortnite since chapter 3 and the whole time I kept thinking they would fix the next season I couldn’t believe how much they didn’t change anything
The metaverse definitely changed the way br was handled. Ch 5 season 1 had a good start, S2 kind of lacked content and still decided to remove mythics for the avatar ones.? S3 changed the way br was played with OP cars, fists and nitro, this would’ve been successful if these changes were an LTM as it perfectly fit that criteria and having a balanced version be the normal br mode. Not sure why they decided to nerf everything when it wasn’t even in competitive anyway. S4 feels like they got scared to add all the marvel mythics even though being a marvel season that’s precisely what people expect. The old ones from 2020 were surprisingly balanced and fun to use yet they haven’t been seen nor have we seen marvel knockout return. Instead we got a downgrade of the endgame mode with less mythics. And for some reason they don’t take advantage of the fact it’s an LTM, because due to lack of marvel mythics we were given mythic guns which made it seem more like team rumble. not to mention locker changes, movement and item shop changes that have been controversial. Epic really gave the community a reason to yap about the downgrade it lowkey has had this year
How is 2.28M low a game that I love so much only gets 180k a day and also, I don't play Fortnite anymore. Do you know when the game or movie? is Dad on Disney is in control because they try to squeeze as much of it as they can. Lately Disney buys everything now, and they decide to put their own rules in it, which is squeezing as much money as they can as possible. I see Disney squeezing as much as they can to Fortnite until people don’t care anymore.
Now that Remix is out. I am not saying that it is bad but it is not the real thing. The lore basically doesn't exist anymore. I hate the new movement, the UI, the locker, and the terrible shop layout. It is honestly one big ad and freakin ice spice is in there for some mf reason. Fortnite used to be way calmer and it wasn't this chaotic. It is losing it's personality. It is like that one insecure kid who was already appreciated by his friends but is trying to be someone else in a weird way. The battle passes were actually fun to grind and get all the extra styles back then but now they decrease the xp you get and are forcing you to level up 50 more levels. I had so many memories cranking up the graphics, playing some music and just chilling doing quests.
I respect your opinion but tbh chapter 5 been a blast I brought my friend out of retirement, and the seasons been great and fun. I even made new friends on the game. (Compare to chapter 3 and 4 don’t get me wrong those was great, but most of my friends quit the game during that time)
I just started playing during this halloween event and I've been having a pretty great time. I like the movement and weapon selection, even if other people definitely know how to use them way better than me lol.
@@ELRollinthat'd why he said that he respects the guy's opinion 🤦♂️ that part is something he *personally* liked about the chapter, nobody ever said that that made the chapter better
Chapter 5 is a decent chapter. The medallions were a great idea so was the new gun mechanic features and bunkers were great but my problem with it was that it was way too overpowered, and you didn’t have to be good to win. Every gun was overpowered, and all the so overpowered mythics you can just click buttons and automatically hit you like chapter 5 season, four for instance felt like aim bot and also chapter 5 season two was also overpowered. Like I didn’t play chapter 5 even close as much as I did with three and four because the chapter 5 seasons were overpowered and kind of bland. The live events were OK. I thought it was a little disappointment, cause I was expecting more snow on the map throughout all seasons because it felt like grand glacier was just a loner out of all of the POIS because it was the only snow biome in the 15 or so locations there were on the chapter 5 season four map in season three. I personally didn’t have a problem with all the other game modes. I thought reload was fun though, but honestly, I’m expecting a lot from chapter 6, but I’m trying not to keep my hopes up because sometimes Fortnite hits or messes with these updates.
I hope: The movement reverts - beginning at Ch 2 Remix Going back to a Cartoony style Lootpools with elements of Ch 1 to Ch 4 S2 Edit to lootpool: If we're going to have new guns, make the models and sounds different from epic rarity and up, I want to feel as if the gun I'm picking up actually feels more powerful, e.g blue pump to epic SPAZ, Blue AR to Scar as well blue OG sounding hunting rifle to current purple hunting rifle, p.s that OG hunting rifle sound was CLLEEEAAAANN A GOOD MAP, but in the shape and style of Ch 1, 2 and 3 And maybe a hot take, but MAKE THE SEPERATE MODES THEIR OWN GAMES, yes the client take is a fine resolve, but rocket racing and the falls guys stuff shouldve been added to their respective games, Lego Fortnite and Festival should basically be their own games
I agree on your “hot take” I’ve been saying that literally since the beginning of the chapter, it’s called fortnite “battle royale” for a reason not fortnite “battle royale and other game modes”. I don’t mind them keeping creative but I don’t like the way the lobby looks like Netflix or Roblox with a bunch of copy and paste games to look through. It looks messy and just terrible. I really don’t know how they could fix the creative thing other than to revert it back to the original mode were you would load into creative and put a code to play the map you want to play, or have featured games. Back to the other game modes, the instruments, legos, and cars ALSO make the shop look UGLY. They should have implemented shops into each of their own game modes.
Fr, and make the lootpools BALANCED They should have the cars from Chapter 2, 3, & 4, and if they add new guns then only make the mythics and exotics (if they add any) broken
I think it's very telling that I can't find anyone who can agree about the state of Chapter 5 and whether or not it was really bad. I wouldn't say opinions are split across the middle but takes are so clearly polarized against each other that it's hard to get a read on what the true majority of players actually want. Part of me thinks that Fortnite has simply become so large with so many different feeling modes, that now it's hard if not impossible to please both old and new fans of the game. I hope those chapter long surveys Epic has been sending out tell them enough to create a better Chapter 6 that more people can enjoy
While it did have highlights, the lowlights outweigh them by such a large margin that it can only get better from here. There’s no way that chapter 6 will do worse than this.
Bro I liked it though. It really delivered on the goofy items which in my opinion is a big part of the game and if you remove those items then I might as well go play pubg (I play zero build)
Graphics aren't cartoony, movement is...clunky, no hitscan x bullet drop projectile, meaningless skins and collab skin are exhausting, marvel x disney fatigue, metaverse fail, entire car royale season, jet pack teleport x gauntlets metas, .,..this entire chapter is L. CH2 remix and ch6 better bring it Warzone and fortnite copy a lot from each other, recently announced map rotation and resurgence/reload maps which warzone has for 4 years now in rotation too as low as 3 maps. COD saw the success of OG season November 2023, thus Verdansk, the OG warzone map comes after years for its 5th anniversary this march 10 2025. And another big map too, Avalon, maybe map rotation for big BR maps?
THE NEW MOVEMENT IS GARBAGE!!! Change it back!!! I've been saying that for so long. And realism in Fortnite is stupid. I love old Fortnite. Note: This new super hero season (because of Fortnitemares) is really fun aside from the obvious garbage things that need to be reverted back. I like the Horde Rush mode. That was really clever.
@@russiankodiak6849 The old mystics were so fun to use and so easy to combine to your own play style, not everyone flying around with jetpacks and spamming the arsenal
Glad I'm not the only one who feels this way. I was fully expecting people to hate this season for the same reasons they hated Season 3 but somehow people are ok with it now??? 😭
@@Johndavis0097 issue with all of chapter 5 is they keep adding fundamentally broken items. With something like the war machine arsenal, because of how it works, there's no way to balance it so it's fair and fun. It's either op or so weak it's frustrating. Season 4 has more of these, and they're much more variable amongst players in a game (eg, everybody had nitro fists, but there's more spread of iron man gear, arsenal, etc), whereas season 3 had an objectively more fun meta, even post nerfs
Honestly, I don't get the hate for Chapter 5. Personally I really like it. Not a single bad season. Hell, C5S1 removed the burn out that Chapter 4 gave me, and C5S3 was what made me play as much as I did in Chapter 2. Did they fumble a lot of things? Yes. Honestly, as much as I love Chapter 5 (It's my third favorite chapter, I haven't played Chapter 1, but my ranking for Chapters is C2, C3, C5, C4) I have to admit, it has a lot of issues. Rarity removal, UI change, ETC. But, despite those seasons, I've had a lot of fun in C5.
LITERALLY! I was so burned out of this game throughout all of chapter 4 so when this chapter came out I actually had fun with this game for the first time since like c3 s1 (excluding OG). I hope one day the community can see how good this chapter really is.
@@DatMartianChristhe community will only like this chapter if the game gets worse over time, this (in my opinion) was the worst chapter I have ever played, fort rlly threw “balance” out the window. It wasn’t as enjoyable. Ofc for lower skilled ppl spamming mythics and super heroes would be fun.
It depended what kind of player and person you were. I loved the non-stop action, but when they started narfing everything, it made magneto gloves and nitro fists unbearable. The unbridled chaos was the only thing that really justified their OPness. And after the nerfs, they were always a 80% loss rate.
I feel like I don't have the best frame of mind to compare and contrast since I actually got into Fortnite *This chapter*. Specifically at the start of the Marvel Crossover and more specifically it was solely because I'm a big Gwenpool fan and was excited to finally play her in a video game. Now I've 100% the battle pass, all of the quests, dipped my toes in Lego, Festival and Racing and even got decently far in Ranked. I can't really speak for the quality in comparison to whatever came before this since... I'm new but I've just been vibing and loving this Season.
Welcome to Fortnite! I started playing in C4 S4, I think I preferred the C4 map a lot more but I definitely had some fun overall with C5. My favourite season so far is C5 S3, though I don't agree with this guy's reasoning and I loved it the most when it was at it's most balanced (after the car nerfs but before the magneto gloves). That made the cars feel really fun since they weren't too OP. I'd say S2 and S1 are fairly tied in terms of quality. This current season has been my least favourite tbh but I'm still enjoying it and there's plenty of fun to be had. Festival's an awesome mode too. Can't wait to see what C6 has in store.
people have been crying about new seasons for like 6 years. i wish theyd just uninstall instead of crying all year. i skipped gwen spiderman season. didnt go online to moan about it, just quietly uninstalled. current season is okay i had more fun in ch2 marvel season
I’m just so tired of this “New Chapter, New Island, New Graphics” one year cycle. It’s honestly just wash, rinse and repeat and it’s so predictable, by the time you get used to the changes they change again. It’s so tiring.
@@AkiyamerGaming But do you hate the people playing it? You seriously waste away your limited time on this planet hating _the people_ who like this season?
Ch5 season 1 was one of my favs. But every other chapter was disappointment other than a few pickaxes and gliders lol, i do like some new guns for creative but still no mythic powers for creative so
I think Chapter 5 is a 7.5-8/10 Chapter, hear me out, Chapter 5 Season 1: was one of Fortnites Best Seasons in the Top 10 best Seasons, it was very good, Strong Weapons, Great Graphics, Solid Mobility, and Great Weapons. The Map was pretty good, a little plain but not bad. Medalions were 10/10 and a lot better, Mythics were 10/10 Amazing, thus Season was great, Weapon Attachments were Amazing, But, Bullet-Drop instead of Hitscan was pretty Mid, now it's not bad, but still Hitscan is just better. Chapter 5 Season 2: New Great Poi's, Mythics were amazing, Weapons were Amazing, Medalions were the best, Nerfed Snipers and Shotguns, Avatar Mythics, Kinda a Mid-Good Season. Chapter 5 Season 3: Cars were Op, At first this Season was really good, after it was pretty Mid, The Metalica and pirates of Caribbean update was Good, but this season was overall pretty good, Medalions were not bad, and mythics were good. Mid season. Chapter 5 Season 4: At first this was one of Fortnites best Marvel themed seasons, now it's not bad but gets boring after awhile. Mythics were good, Medalions were not bad, only 1 was really good being Emma Frosts Reveal Medalion, and the only real good mythics were Sovereign Shotgun and Doombots monarch Pistol, and war machines with iron man boots. Pretty good Season. Overall Opinion best to worst: #1. Chapter 5 Season 1, #2. Chapter 5 Season 4, #3. Chapter 5 Season 2, #4. Chapter 5 Season 3.
The sheer performance issues were what killed it for me. I have a Ryzen 3700x and a 1080ti which is old, but not so old to where I shouldn't be able to play Fortnite with much reduced graphics settings and still drop below 60fps consistently.
Eh, i disagree. Chapter 5 was a great chapter for experimentation but I would go back to Chapter 4 in a heartbeat. New movement, weird shift to a realistic game style, BULLET DROP FOR ALL WEAPONS >:(, and them not even trying to make new weapon mods after season 2. Overall this chapter was a huge sandbox of "lets throw stuff at the wall and see what sticks", the problem is almost nothing stuck lol. I didnt hate C5, definitely had fun moments, but its my least favorite by a landslide.
I thought I hated chapter 4 more but looking back I had a ton of fun during season 2 and 3 that I never got in chapter 5 because everyone quit after season 1. Overall while chapter four had a awful map and story it's still overall better because it felt like Fortnite. Chapter 5 just didn't feel right, my friend who quit said he quit because he started to realize how corporate it became after og.
The metaverse was only taking more focus since they wanted them to release with chapter 5, but now that theyve settled in, battle royale has been more at the forefront
I had a blast I don't know what your guys are talking about. I guess some players just can't let go of the past and want to live in the past but to be honest if Fortnite didn't update every season the game would have died a long time ago.
this was rhe chapter i quit. i miss fortnite prior to chapter 4, less collabs and if there were collabs they would be normal and spaced out and felt special. also a storyline, originality, fun gameplay, ugh i miss it so much.
The reason chapter 5 failed is that it didn’t. Thats literally it. This chapter was really really fun and was way better than the 2 worst chapters (aka chapter 2 and chapter 3). This chapter really was a testing ground to see how epic can improve the game by learning form og and trying out new things and those new things where really really fun! Every season this chapter has had tons of quality updates that added a good amount in each one. Also chapter 5 season 1 was in the top 5 best seasons of all time and I’ve been playing since chapter 1 and the new movement is literally the exact same feeling, at the beginning when it was slower it took like 1 game to get used to lol.
The problem is that it did. This chapter being a testing ground was not a good thing, most people consider 3/4 or 2/4 of this chapter mid or bad. I can't blame them. S1, extremely different for no reason. S2, lack of updates. S3, op weapons. S4, again op weapons. Saying this chapter is a testing ground isn't as smart of a point as you think it is.
I’ve been complaining about the art style so much lately! I miss the quirkiness of the buildings and objects. Chapter 4 really did do a decent job of blending it but I hated how they completely got rid of the cartoonish style.
Great video it felt like you read my thoughts about the whole chapter 5. Hopefully this new season brings people back and the old cartoonishly look it once had.
With season 4, the biggest problem for me with the mashup skins is that they chose the most reused characters out there when they have a thousand characters to choose from. Jonesy was literally on the first battle pass of this chapter, so he didn't need to be included again. Peely had gotten a new skin in Myths and Mortals as well as a new LEGO pass skin this season and didn't need to be included. I know Peelverine was hinted at before in chapter 2, but he should have been an item shop character. Meowscles didn't need a mashup skin, especially since he's getting a new skin next season and has skins in the store. Oscar would have been a better mashup since he is an actual tiger, which fits Sabertooth better, and he's a villain. Oscar also doesn't have a shop skin, which would have been great for people who didn't play Season 1. I would like to see more previous battle pass characters get new skins for the shop. It's cool having a second Calamity skin in a pack that looks equally as cool as the exclusive one. There's a ton of characters like Catalyst, Sidewinder, and Dire that haven't returned yet.
The best way I can see the metaverse is a quote from Shigeru Miyamoto: “A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad", maybe people would’ve enjoyed it more if they’d not rushed out the modes
Honestly the ONLY good thing they did in my opinion is the moving while healing. Maybe it’s because I am an apex player as well but the moving while healing is great.
Epic Games actually planned to make FN a multiverse based game with many modes which is why BR came so quickly after Save the World as it was already in development the reason it took so long for the other modes is because Epic had to wait for some stronger consoles and to get companies in their hands for the other modes they also knew it would take time to develop the modes
Chapter 5 felt like a testing ground to see how the community would react to certain things
Season 1
-see if slower movement is better
-bullet drop
Season 2
-See if strong melee items is a good ideas
-See if players are fine with going off the seasons theme midway through the season
Season 3
-Seeing if the community likes non gun oriented combat
-Seeing if it’s better to make the game more fun than sweaty
Season 4
-Seeing if we like flying based combat
-Seeing if we would like season remakes in the future
With a whole chapter of surveys chap 6 gotta be good💀💀
Yeah. I hope that this was just a phase of extreme testing and that they go back to pre-chapter 5 style. It’s fine to experiment but changing so many things at once is going to alienate people who aren’t new to the game
I mainly think hitscan should come back, but Snipers should keep bullet drop because it just fits Snipers more, and they feel better hitting shots
I feel s2 is a bit of a stretch, we really didn't get many melee weapons aside from chains of Hades.
In fact that was the only new melee weapon we got that season.
I feel like a better point for s2 would be something like, see if colabs could carry a season or, see how long a seasons theme could carry it without many updates.
Also s4 flying combat is also a stretch.
You are some how so right
idk why so many people forget this but the epic literally said chapter 5 would be an experimental chapter so what your saying actually seems to hold alot of truth, makes me excited for the future and what they do based off the feedback
I still can't believe Doctor Doom went out like that, the amount of disrespect towards the character is unbelievable.
He ain't dead, leakers said he will be back
It's pathetic how Doom was hyped up to be this nearly unstoppable boss that killed most of Marvel's heroes and villains just so he could be beaten in less than an hour by some people with guns.
Maybe he was not defeated yet,we might able to see him in chapter 2 season og.Who knows?
the doom in the og battlepass was the doom from this timeline
Outside of that, I think they respected him really well. I don't think rifting him away like that undoes everything else.
The horrible new locker with its 5000 separated presets ruined it for me compared to the convenient one press and every thing is loaded and ready.
I agree with what you're saying. I hope they change it back.

This chapter was exhausting. We can literally only go up from here.
You'd think that but the meta verse will only continue the same trend that Chapter 5 did. For context, I usually put in about $90 and that used to last me a couple seasons at maximum. This season alone, I spend $270 because of all the various Collabs. Thanks meta verse. Disney also already has put up extra restrictions on their cosmetics so you can use Mickey in BR for example. Or hell even Lightning McQueen in BR. If I'm gonna purchase cosmetics, they better be available in the majority of the maps and modes I might wanna play. While I take a certain amount of financial responsibility and self control into account, I also wanna point out the virtual shoes being a cosmetic. They've added Instruments and Legos into bundles now. Now they wanna make us buy virtual shoes. Like wtf is Epic thinking????

If Fortnite had gone mainstream as a metaverse/roblox style game, then nobody would complain. But the fact the game that blew up was the battle Royale, that’s what people know it as, means they will never accept it as a metaverse game. Roblox got popular as an all-in-one game, and that’s what people know it as, it’s basically a playground for anything to exist in it, and that’s WHY people love it. So if Roblox decides to change their game by taking modes away, people will not like and move on to a different game, the same like what’s happening Fortnite but in the opposite direction
technically speaking, fortnite battle royale could be considered a metaverse since it was an offshoot of save the world. Fortnite is a great battle royale but eventually, that genre will phase out and Fortnite is adding something more for them to last longer as a game.

The only thing that they’ve got to get better at is being able to balance both Battle Royale and their other modes.

I HATE the weapon mods, it feels like you need them to even use the gun. And I believe it stops them from making creative choices when it comes to guns. Chapter 4 has some great examples, like the twin mag guns and the twin mag ar’s scope. With the mods they can’t do anything creative like that. I hope they leave in Chapter 6.
This, I really hate when someone lands next to me, and I can't even trust the first gun that I can get cause it might be thermal scope SMG with the worst hip fire accuracy ever.
To sum it up, it’s just too corporate now.
Realism (constantly improving graphics, realistic graphics instead of cartoony, bullet drop, new realistic movement, weapon attachments, first person aim-down-sights), the most new collabs of all time, the metaverse being forced on the players, UI changes that are meant to help out Disney in the locker and shop, and just clearly inflating the price of skins despite them claiming no rarities does not mean their prices will increase.
I agree with you, except the collab part. Pirates of the Caribbean is kind of old and is not that well known by younger kids. Avatar in my country is only known by a couple of nerds (I use the term in a non offensive connotation). Ninja Turtle is kind of mixed. Some know it some don't. Disney stuff is hated by kids that try to act as grown ups (most of them). The only exception is Mrs Incredible but... That's for another reason. Edward Scissor Hands, Texas Chainsaw Massacre are old movies and franchises that don't sell that much today (besides edgy acting people or people like me that are a bit older). The only "relevant" collabs they brought this Chapter were Venom (cause of the new movie), Lethal League (for memes) and maybe some that I don't remember.
@@SoniaRomano97I think what he means is the fact that epic is just shoving collabs down our throats. A collab every now and then is cool, but now it seems like every 2 weeks we get a collab and it takes away from the creativity epic once had. To me atleast, everytime we get a collab nowadays it’s just like “hey cool Optimus prime is in the game *moving on*” like it’s just not special anymore
Realistic movement has to go🙅♂️
@@SoniaRomano97 Dude, what are you on about, my whole family including my FOUR YEAR OLD brother knows what Pirates of the Caribbean is. Avatar is one of the most highly regarded cartoon shows of all time and is extremely popular all over the world. Ninja Turtles I can agree on, but Disney stuff is not hated by kids, why do you think it's so popular in the first place? Despite being old movies Edward Scissor Hands, Texas Chainsaw Massacre are highly regarded or at least known by younger people. Sorry if I came off rude but most of this is just wrong at least IMO.
@@sleep170 Or maybe we living in different countries is the actual problem. I'm a teacher and I talk everyday with kids. I know what they watch and like and what they don't watch and don't like. Maybe here it's just different. That's all. And please calm down... Second of all I'm not a dude...
Here kids (I'm talking about 10-14 years old) just watch a lot of adult stuff. I know that is not good for them but I'm not their parents, I can give some advice to them and to the parents, but in the end it's not something I can do a whole lot about. Culture and society are things so big that no single person can change. Here kids just listen to Trap (Trevis Scott is really big, Kendrick Lamar and so on). Favorite shows are Breaking Bad, The Boys and so on. The only cartoons they watch are anime (but the kind of anime that is full o violence and s*x). Some here even get bullied for liking kids stuff. But I'm glad to hear that is not the norm everywhere.
4:38 Thank you! Finally someone said it. Honestly, chapter 4 is perfect combination of realism and cartoony. I have no idea why people hate it so much. And I’m saying this as OG player.
I’ve seen many CH 2 players say that “but chapter 2 graphics is a good mix of cartoony and realism”. It’s really not, plus the saturation is way too much.
Anyways, the whole chapter 5 is painfully mid. This whole chapter felt rushed, I feel like they were suppose to add more but was canceled or scrapped
I think this chapter played too risky with adding too many changes at once. This game is doing the opposite of whatever made fortnite good. Imo, the best season we got was the first once after a few tweaks (medallion nerf + slight movement change)
reload legit saved this game from being deleted 😭
The whole entirety of Fortnite would never be deleted. If that happened, all of the playbase would scream, cry or get very mad that it was shutting down forever.
Maybe reread what you've just written next time?

I was having some really hard times during chapter 5 season 3 which I know is not the games fault but was what I had to go through at the time. Because my dog past away well he wasn’t really our dog he was originally my uncles so he lend him to us to take care of. But back when the season started at the time me and my family have been taking turns watching over him cause he was panting so hard and hasn’t been eating enough of his food much. So my mother brought him to the vet to see what was wrong with him and she said that his spleen was giving him a lot of pain which explained why he was barely eating. Which she also added that they can remove it if he had enough blood for him to make the surgery happen. Which was a success which I thought would solve everything but he only lasted a couple of months later before we decided to let him go which before we made that decision we’ve been giving him some walks for him to live his last moments with us but there was one problem he was also suffering from. What was worse about his condition was that he had a random tumor on his back end which was looking really infected when ever he had to do his business which I don’t want to describe the details. But then on I came up with an idea that me and my family should take a family picture with him to memorize him by. And we even celebrated his 15th birthday early before we had to say our final goodbyes on that same day. It’s been really hard for me but mostly my sister since she loved and adored him with her life when ever she’s in her room with him while working on her upcoming college exams. But he’s gone now and I’m really going to miss him for helping us on getting through these tough times we’ve had these past years with him

Can't wait for you and the community to suddenly have a 180 on Chapter 5 once the next chapter rolls around, people are already doing that with Chapter 4 so it's not unrealistic to think that Chapter 5 will suddenly be glazed not even a year later
to be fair chapter 4 had old movement and was more colorful then this chapter which looked dull and depressing
i loved c4 sm, this chapter is straight up ass...
That’s genuinely the problem with these videos, I loved chapter 5 and all but like the community will always do a 180 and act like “oh yes this chapter was always great!” when in reality yall didn’t even fuck with it. The same thing happened with chapter 4 and it got me so confused cuz didn’t we all agree that that chapter sucked ass?
@@DatMartianChristhis usually happens when fort gets worse. I hate ch5 and trust me I will not do a 180. It happens too there’s when the game gets so much worse over time that they realize “yea ch5 sucked but not as bad as this”

the realism made the game look depressing and bland ngl. i love the old cartoony style and bright colors and how silly the game was, it allowed u to actually have fun and enjoy gaming with friends
apparently the underworld and the desert biome doesn't exist anymore
Because Chapter 5 is when epic changed everything for no reason while at the same time gave up on trying to create something special
Yep, don’t try to fix what ain’t broke
@@CuBic09 I say this to everyone now, all these companies today think "if ain't broke, fix it, then eventually destroy it" that's there new maudo

@@Juicy_wiwi exactly, and now here we go going right back to og again when ch6 starts. Thankfully it’s a separate game mode, but still they bring back og Fortnite bc they are trying to make up for the horrible experience of ch5.

if they dont fix the movement i am going to have a mental breakdown
movement does not need fixing
@@gamerbeast3616 yes it does lol it looks funky and the pickaxe pulls out very weirdly. you probably didn’t experience the original movement so you wouldn’t know
This Chapter was not bad for me. It had some interesting ideas, of course some worse than others.
Seasons 1 and 4 are solid, with decent loot pools and fun gameplay. Season 4 did have a problem with the jetpack. They were basically necessary in each game if you wanted to place high. It did not help when Epic made it harder to find the jetpack; it just made it worse.
Season 2 was very boring to me mainly because of the very similar "New" weapons like the Harbringer SMG and Warforged AR. Besides the weapons, the new POIs were great, the return of Midas was fun, and the Avatar collab was dope.
Season 3 to me was pretty fun with the new weapons like the Tow Hook, Boom Bolt, Tri-Beam, and the return of the Combat AR and Shotgun. The only problem with Season 3 was the issue with the cars and Nitro Fists. Epic could not balance these things for some reason, they could have made the fists more like the katana and reworked the car weapon attachments.
Overall this chapter to me is a 7.5/10
I agree with this, chapter 5 wasn't bad even though i think that chapter 5 is like top 3 in my personal ranking but i feel like bullet drop was a bad idea, also i though the metaverse was going to ruin br so i hated it but now i can see that this is not the case and br is doing well and even as a great storyline so good for me. Overall 8-8.5/10 chapter.
Chapter 5 was kinda good, but it's still the worst
If I were to rank the seasons I'd say S2>S4>S1>S3
boom bolt was godly. funnest weapon since riot shield in s1. i never had issue with nitro fists. 3 shotguns to the face. just steady your aim
1:06 gonna have to disagree, 2020 fortnitemares was the best, had shadow midas and when you died you came back as a ghost to kill the last players, youd rack up 40 kill wins and feel like your the last person on earth in a epic brutal zombie movie
Chapter 5 was the most fun I've had in fortnite, actually
No offense, but that means you were one of those stupid spammers who used every non gun item to kill everyone, right
@robertbozic467 You are mistaken
@Axolotl_Speaker TBH is mostly use smg,shotgun and ar but if i ran across one or four collab item or mythic,i will replace my weapon for it
I will do that for having crazy loadout like for example war machine arsenal,shuri claw or chainsaw,iron man repulsors and boots
@PyxlkilleZ Doing that is fun tbh. A shame that having fun in this a crime
I legitimately think that the bigger and smaller Fortnite creators should come together and create a petition or hashtag movement to bring back rarities, because it is legitimately a scummy move to do that, and then blatantly increase cosmetic prices even thought they promised they wouldn’t. Because without the creator’s support Fortnite would suffer greatly, because their biggest free marketing tool is the creators. They have literally never had to pay for a tv commercial or anything except for UA-cam and twitter ads, and became the biggest game of all time, all because of the tons of viral moments created by Fortnite content creators. So you have to hit them where it hurts to get the things we want.
exactly we need this
I don’t give two shits about “creators” there boring trash or do I care for anything else you listed
Rarities wouldn't make a difference. That's what they used to justify the higher prices they chose in the first place and it stopped having much meaning long ago.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but weren’t legendary skins always 2000 vbucks or 20 dollars, and every collabs skin would likely just end up being legendary so they can charge that. My biggest issue with it is the lack of 800 vbucks skins now and the even more difficult and annoying locker room navigation with no rarities to help you find and remember where stuff is
The graphics and the bullet drop really pissed me off
game cant stay the same forever
@@gamerbeast3616 I know some people like it and other's did not but personally I did not enjoy it, I hope you did . I just thought it made the game fell clunky and to realistic for me. have a good day
I personally like the projectile system they have rn, more skill needed especially in zero build, I feel like hitscan in zero build would remove a lot of the skill required to kill others
@@gamerbeast3616 and some things dont need any change we play the game bc thats how the game is
I've been playing since 2017, and this is just my opinion, but honestly, Chapter 1 and Chapter 3 were honestly the two chapters so far that were for the most CONSISTENTLY fun. Chapter 2 and Chapter 4 had some amazing seasons too like Ch2 S2, Ch2 S4, Ch2 S7, Ch4 S1, Ch4 S4, but overall I found myself having the most fun throughout Chapter 1 and Chapter 3.
Finally someone said it, Chapter 2 sucks
I guess im in the minority of people who really liked this chapter lol
I liked this chapter too
I liked it aswell
The vast majority of Fortnite players isn't as chronically online as we are, and they're probably having a fun time regardless. Many of my friends, even my dad, loved this chapter. They're much less skeptical/critical than we are.
Really liked this chapter? It must have been your first then.
@@geraldwhite2676 chill dude
Not to mention the corny loading screen that makes the game look like its being catered to 4 year olds with all the studio bright colors
They gave us fortnite classic and everyone loved it, then they went and did the opposite thing with ch5 season 1 right after. Idk what they were thinking. We want a more classic feel
Trust me know one’s gonna hate you for your opinion. This chapter was MID to ASS. So many things wrong bullet drop, ass graphics, clunky movment, too realistic graphics, attachments, focused more on metaverse and ufen than battle royal, prices, season 3!!!!!, BORING seasons, cosmetic rarity being removed, everything stuck in the bundle which I didn’t care about because I was getting the full bundle but when I got Eddie Brock I wanted to buy the she venom pickaxes but of course stupid and money hungry fortnite doesn’t let me do it. Theirs more I don’t like about this chapter but I forgot what they are. Also did I say this season was boring… oh yeah I did but I’ll say it one more time this chapter was overall BORING mainly with the updates getting boring fast and wasting so much potential. Ps I see the hate comments you’ve been saying and you are wrong but that’s your opinion. I never said everything was bad there were some good things but they didn’t last long. The statistics proves my point that this was the worst chapter. I also respect them for trying something new but everything got old within a week. I didn’t think this was a horrible chapter but this is definitely the worst one compared to every other chapter.
brought back live events, content updates weekly, good collaborations, chapter wasn't afraid to try stuff new, chapter 5 isn't bad at all, if you played during chapter 4 you would know everyone was sick of that chapter more than this one, even chapter 2 players quit and etc
Ch4 was better than this ass of a chapter
Play fortnite save the world and you realize that the original graphics have not stood the test of time.
The more streamlined graphics aren't bad at all.
@@Jxdotzchapter 4 literally brought back tons of hype in season 4 this season 4 brought hype just for ppl to be disappointed and leave

Fortnite got greedy and pandered to the new players and abandoned its core players. It’s not Fortnite anymore
Okay but it’s good that they cater to new players. There are more new players than old and that number will continue to grow. Although newer players honestly have it worse, because this chapter was epic not giving their best. We’ve seen their best and know what they can give us.

Chapter 4 graphically is PEAK Fortnite. Literally how it should always be
Fr, idk why they changed chapter 4 graphics, now It looks More realistic and mid
This has always been a really funny quandary to me. You know what I mean. Like when people start complain about wanting their games to get better, and when changes are made, they just bitch about wanting everything to be the same at it was. That makes no sense!
Geez! You basically sound like the "cranky old man" that just sits around telling everyone that ... "Things were better back when I was playing the "REAL" game!". And we all know that sort of statement is total bull.
Hell, I'm 59 years old. (OG-OldManGamer in most games I play now), and started plying Fortnite with my kids a just a couple of days into Chapter 2, Season 3. And when I first started playing, I thought that all of the controls were funky, and that the keyboard responses were way to sluggish. And characters couldn't slide, climb walls, pile drive through another player and knock them over (or at least mess up their shot). You also couldn't use - what I would think of as "Natural Skills", like punching and kicking! Not to kill another player with, but at least give you an extra few seconds to make an escape. But that said ...
I am lucky I guess. I slowly got used to it all, and then during Chapter 5, they started adding ways to tweek how quickly your keyboard will react, and my oldest son showed me how to adjust the controls to how I like to play. After that, I haven't complained about how the controls work until trying ROCKET RACING. And Wooh!
I had to make a serious mental shift in order to accomidate for the game physics! For example - Skid around corners makes you go faster?! Lava floating in mid-air, or being a wall?! Driiving upside down inverts your steering on the fly?! Slamming into the ground at 700 km per hour (or what I call 434.96 mph) does nothing to your car?! Running into other drivers, without the cost of being damaged and having to finish the race by having to go slower?! But hey. I kept playing it, and after a while I started to get the hang of it. Practice, practice, practice right?!
Here's the other thing - I know that a lot of people are complaining about a little "realism" being added into the game. And the same people also complain about they want it to be more cartoony with how the characters look. But if that's one of your complaints - build an Ol School PC and load it up with Windows 95, or XP, and play the older games that run and look that way! There are HUNDREDS of them!
with how much we have to pay for decent computer to play games on now-a-days, I want my graphics to be beautiful to look at, and make the world feel like another world! Not as choppy old cartoon!!
I want my games to advance with it's looks, sounds, movement, story telling, and game play! And I want them to be fun! And I am sorry to tell people - In order to do that, the game creators have to make changes every once in a while, and find out what works and what doesn't. And that's A-OK by me. At least I know that they are trying - and at least EPIC Games listens to the players!!
I've been wating since the days of freaking PONG (1972 to you kids out there) to play video games that not only had a decent story to them, but also games that had great graphics, music, and the abitity to interact with other players! So to me, all of this stuff is great!!!
So my suggestion is, Play the game. If they make changes you like, or changes you don't like, tell EPIC. Whining to other players that fell like you do, doesn't help. It just creates hate talk. And hate talk just creates more hate talk. And we have enough of that in the real world.
All that being said, I do get what you are saying. But it's just like everything, it's a personal perseption. And we are all going to feel about the changes differently. And sometimes when something you like gets changed, deep down inside we kind of take it personally. So try shaking it all off, and look forward to the Chapter. And cross your fingers that you like that one more.
And like I said earlier. If they are doing things you don't like, and you want an older look and feel to your games. Build that Ol School PC. It's pretty darn cheap to do, and there were some really cool games that my friends played together! Way back in the late 1990's and early 2000's. Back when we would bring our PC setups to each others homes, and set up a private network and play games for hours and hours!!!! We hyad a blast! And you can still do that over the current internet too. It just takes someone in your friends group to have a PC as a personal server everyone could cennect with.
My metric for a chapter: has TNTina or TNTina remake?
No?
Then it’s an abomination and epic should pay for their crimes
Tbh i dont think the avatar skins being bundled w their pickaxes for 2000 v bucks is something to be upset about. I remmeber buying terrible 2000 v buck skins that came with hardly a backbling in earlier seasons. Theyre literally avatar collab skins either pay 20 bucks for the licensing fees or just enjoy your other skins like
I find your obsession with skin exclusivity disturbing, just let people get what they want, freedom baby.
They even somehow made the marvel season bad, that's a new accomplishment right there
Chapter 5 is the first season to feature really meta OP items for not-so-good (and really sweat players) to rely on EVERY single season. 💀💀
Tim Sweeny needs to be replaced. His decisions are ruining fortnite in his desire to create something that has already failed time and time again (the metaverse). There have been so many attempts at metaverses and all of them failed except for Roblox and VRChat which are still successful
Not replaced just guided
Dude what hasn't even begun can't fail Disney has yet to really sink their teeth in there is not even truly a metaverse yet what you were seeing is the skeleton.... It's like me going into a construction building and it's nothing but i-beams and I'm calling it s***** because it looks s***** to me even though it's not finished in construction.... Like bro give the The newborn a chance to even breathe God damn
Nah jit need to be fired asap that's crazy :(
One of the problems I also have with projectile is that they restrict old guns from coming back because they were hitscan. If they do come back, they’re a totally different gun with bullet drop
Drum Gun
Handcannon
and Tac AR
all sucked
While technically occuring just before Chapter 5, what bothered me the most in the leadup to it was the sudden removal of our Legacy Achievement Awards. I used to grind every season to get as many as I could, and I loved looking at that timeline as a mini calendar of my history with the game. Oh! That was the first day and time I landed on c2s7. And that was the day I got my 10th solo win that seasons! Etc. I even completed the fish collection book each season. And if you played during those seasons it existed you remember how hard it was to find the elusive White Slurp Fish. While not technically cosmetics, those awards felt like they were cosmetics to me, and removing them hit me as hard as if Fortnite removed a bunch of sprays I had spent hours upon hours grinding for :(
The worst thing about Chapter 5 is that it was a sad little heap of crap designed to cater to seemingly the entire known universe and apparently ended up appealing to no-one. The OG season was a population grab, 30M players iirc, all for it to get put down like a puppy with a lame knockoff version of the Season X event and be like, "hey, we're glad you liked this. get ready to throw it all away for this awesome new Roblox knock off!!!! we're so sure you'll love it that that is all the event will be about." ... And nobody ended up liking it, so they added Rewind as a last resort as to not kill the game entirely, with an island that is supposed to be OG but spiced up (shit on would be a better term) to make them feel good about themselves and think that they're being so slick when in reality it is the closest thing to a proper Fortnite experience since the OG season and they know it. Of course, Tim doesn't care and will run the franchise into the ground to get as much money out of it as possible.
As a player who started in chapter 5 I really enjoyed it. It probably is pretty bad if you compare it but with fresh eyes I really enjoy it.
Same
Because you started there thats why
If You sit yourself in a room with a newer player, viewer, generation, etc… and talk about how great things used to be they aren’t gonna care at all whether they were alive at that time or not. Our minds view almost ever aspect of the past as a simpler or better time and all it’s gonna do for you and make you depressed. You need to overlook those factors to really get an understanding of what is really important, and determining what is better helps nothing. And in that aspect I disagree with almost every thing discussed in this video.
I think this chapter had its ups and downs. A lot of the downs are in this video, so here are some of my favorite ups:
- Medallions
- Weapon Modding (I think there should be more mod benches around the map)
- Midas Presents floor is lava
- All the mini live events
- An actual storyline with Pandoras Box
- Day of Doom LTM
-Nitro
Yeah.... You have a weird selection of ups... I'll call you... High as F. 😂
@@geraldwhite2676 What on the list do you not like??
The mini events were all terrible and the Day Of Doom LTM was just a lazy ripoff of the Avengers one from Chapter 1 though
Somebody honestly needs to tell Epic
“If it ain’t broken, don’t fix it”.
I mean…. I’m with Fortnite on this one. You can’t release ALL marvel characters now. If not, there wouldn’t be more fan favourites in the future for more marvel stuff.
The movement and locker ui made me quit most of this chapter. I just can’t stand the movement
The jetpack wasn't removed because it was so bad, it was removed because it was suffocating the Fortnitemares gameplay
I won't lie, I'm pretty sure whatever modes survive this shakeout of the first two years will develop fans just like Save the World did, just like Battle Royale did, and just like Creative did.
I think Festival survives just because we don’t really have anything else like it, the songs are ridiculously priced but in most cases you can still play them even if you don’t own them. Lego has a fanbase but it’s gonna need to be built up over a really long time as it’s still barebones, and I’m not sure anyone plays rocket racing unfortunately
@@aidanbohr4617
"I think Festival survives"
I hope so. I started playing near the end of Chapter 4, Season 2 for my friend. After he took another break from the game post OG season. I pivoted to playing Festival only. Epic's decision to make the pass more accessible by changing it from the Festival Pass to the Music Pass, incorporating it into the rest of the game, and changing the progression from Festival points to XP, gives me the impression that they do not have faith in the mode. The revenue from the Festival Pass must not have been high enough to justify the costs of licensing the music and paying the featured artists.
@@aidanbohr4617Festival is fine because of the Guitar Hero and Band Hero players can get another online platform where they can nab each other over getting the highest scores.
LEGO Fortnite has had consistent updates and the game is a lot better because of it along with the player feedback.
Rocket Racing may have lost some reoccurring content updates, but that doesn't mean Epic is gonna pull the plug on that mode, as there are still players hanging around that mode.
When you think about it, the metaverse is a great escape along with Creative and Save The World if players need a break from Battle Royale.
I have been playing Fortnite since chapter 3 and the whole time I kept thinking they would fix the next season I couldn’t believe how much they didn’t change anything
The metaverse definitely changed the way br was handled. Ch 5 season 1 had a good start, S2 kind of lacked content and still decided to remove mythics for the avatar ones.? S3 changed the way br was played with OP cars, fists and nitro, this would’ve been successful if these changes were an LTM as it perfectly fit that criteria and having a balanced version be the normal br mode. Not sure why they decided to nerf everything when it wasn’t even in competitive anyway. S4 feels like they got scared to add all the marvel mythics even though being a marvel season that’s precisely what people expect. The old ones from 2020 were surprisingly balanced and fun to use yet they haven’t been seen nor have we seen marvel knockout return. Instead we got a downgrade of the endgame mode with less mythics. And for some reason they don’t take advantage of the fact it’s an LTM, because due to lack of marvel mythics we were given mythic guns which made it seem more like team rumble. not to mention locker changes, movement and item shop changes that have been controversial. Epic really gave the community a reason to yap about the downgrade it lowkey has had this year
Exactly, people are really trying to defend the Day of Doom mode when it was a worse version of the Endgame mode
I liked the third season because I spent majority of the time in a car and I didn't have to look at the awful movement
How is 2.28M low a game that I love so much only gets 180k a day and also, I don't play Fortnite anymore. Do you know when the game or movie? is Dad on Disney is in control because they try to squeeze as much of it as they can. Lately Disney buys everything now, and they decide to put their own rules in it, which is squeezing as much money as they can as possible. I see Disney squeezing as much as they can to Fortnite until people don’t care anymore.
its lower than fortnite's average before this year, even if its very high
Now that Remix is out. I am not saying that it is bad but it is not the real thing. The lore basically doesn't exist anymore. I hate the new movement, the UI, the locker, and the terrible shop layout.
It is honestly one big ad and freakin ice spice is in there for some mf reason.
Fortnite used to be way calmer and it wasn't this chaotic. It is losing it's personality. It is like that one insecure kid who was already appreciated by his friends but is trying to be someone else in a weird way.
The battle passes were actually fun to grind and get all the extra styles back then but now they decrease the xp you get and are forcing you to level up 50 more levels. I had so many memories cranking up the graphics, playing some music and just chilling doing quests.
I respect your opinion but tbh chapter 5 been a blast I brought my friend out of retirement, and the seasons been great and fun. I even made new friends on the game. (Compare to chapter 3 and 4 don’t get me wrong those was great, but most of my friends quit the game during that time)
But I get what you coming from
I just started playing during this halloween event and I've been having a pretty great time. I like the movement and weapon selection, even if other people definitely know how to use them way better than me lol.
Just because you had fun with yo friend doesn't make it a good game
@@ELRollinthat'd why he said that he respects the guy's opinion 🤦♂️ that part is something he *personally* liked about the chapter, nobody ever said that that made the chapter better
@@ELRollin bro it’s my opinion
Chapter 5 is a decent chapter. The medallions were a great idea so was the new gun mechanic features and bunkers were great but my problem with it was that it was way too overpowered, and you didn’t have to be good to win. Every gun was overpowered, and all the so overpowered mythics you can just click buttons and automatically hit you like chapter 5 season, four for instance felt like aim bot and also chapter 5 season two was also overpowered. Like I didn’t play chapter 5 even close as much as I did with three and four because the chapter 5 seasons were overpowered and kind of bland. The live events were OK. I thought it was a little disappointment, cause I was expecting more snow on the map throughout all seasons because it felt like grand glacier was just a loner out of all of the POIS because it was the only snow biome in the 15 or so locations there were on the chapter 5 season four map in season three. I personally didn’t have a problem with all the other game modes. I thought reload was fun though, but honestly, I’m expecting a lot from chapter 6, but I’m trying not to keep my hopes up because sometimes Fortnite hits or messes with these updates.
Chapters 4 movement was peakkkkkkkkkkkk
Personally, it’s my second favorite chapter and here is my whole chapter ranking:
1. Chapter 2
2. Chapter 5
3. Chapter 1
4. Chapter 4
5. Chapter 3
I hope:
The movement reverts - beginning at Ch 2 Remix
Going back to a Cartoony style
Lootpools with elements of Ch 1 to Ch 4 S2
Edit to lootpool: If we're going to have new guns, make the models and sounds different from epic rarity and up, I want to feel as if the gun I'm picking up actually feels more powerful, e.g blue pump to epic SPAZ, Blue AR to Scar as well blue OG sounding hunting rifle to current purple hunting rifle, p.s that OG hunting rifle sound was CLLEEEAAAANN
A GOOD MAP, but in the shape and style of Ch 1, 2 and 3
And maybe a hot take, but MAKE THE SEPERATE MODES THEIR OWN GAMES, yes the client take is a fine resolve, but rocket racing and the falls guys stuff shouldve been added to their respective games, Lego Fortnite and Festival should basically be their own games
I agree on your “hot take” I’ve been saying that literally since the beginning of the chapter, it’s called fortnite “battle royale” for a reason not fortnite “battle royale and other game modes”. I don’t mind them keeping creative but I don’t like the way the lobby looks like Netflix or Roblox with a bunch of copy and paste games to look through. It looks messy and just terrible. I really don’t know how they could fix the creative thing other than to revert it back to the original mode were you would load into creative and put a code to play the map you want to play, or have featured games. Back to the other game modes, the instruments, legos, and cars ALSO make the shop look UGLY. They should have implemented shops into each of their own game modes.
Fr, and make the lootpools BALANCED
They should have the cars from Chapter 2, 3, & 4,
and if they add new guns then only make the mythics and exotics (if they add any) broken
I think it's very telling that I can't find anyone who can agree about the state of Chapter 5 and whether or not it was really bad. I wouldn't say opinions are split across the middle but takes are so clearly polarized against each other that it's hard to get a read on what the true majority of players actually want. Part of me thinks that Fortnite has simply become so large with so many different feeling modes, that now it's hard if not impossible to please both old and new fans of the game. I hope those chapter long surveys Epic has been sending out tell them enough to create a better Chapter 6 that more people can enjoy
the only good season was season 1 all of the other seasons sucked
I don't think there is one person that actually thinks this was even a half-decent chapter
While it did have highlights, the lowlights outweigh them by such a large margin that it can only get better from here. There’s no way that chapter 6 will do worse than this.
i think it was decent im not a hater like you
It only takes a few seconds to see that you're wrong.
Saying chapter 5 is bad is not controversial. It sucks lmfao
There’s some shills in the comment section here though
Bro I liked it though. It really delivered on the goofy items which in my opinion is a big part of the game and if you remove those items then I might as well go play pubg (I play zero build)
I disagree with your opinion, but you can’t mix fact when you’re stating it.
@@ThewolverinexmanI agree as a builds player
Opinion straight into the trash with that statement
Graphics aren't cartoony, movement is...clunky, no hitscan x bullet drop projectile, meaningless skins and collab skin are exhausting, marvel x disney fatigue, metaverse fail, entire car royale season, jet pack teleport x gauntlets metas, .,..this entire chapter is L. CH2 remix and ch6 better bring it
Warzone and fortnite copy a lot from each other, recently announced map rotation and resurgence/reload maps which warzone has for 4 years now in rotation too as low as 3 maps. COD saw the success of OG season November 2023, thus Verdansk, the OG warzone map comes after years for its 5th anniversary this march 10 2025. And another big map too, Avalon, maybe map rotation for big BR maps?
Bad new movement
Seasons losing momentum 3 weeks in
Locker UI changes
No more cosmetic rarity
Metaverse slop
Epic gotta pick up the pace for chapter 6
THE NEW MOVEMENT IS GARBAGE!!! Change it back!!! I've been saying that for so long. And realism in Fortnite is stupid. I love old Fortnite. Note: This new super hero season (because of Fortnitemares) is really fun aside from the obvious garbage things that need to be reverted back. I like the Horde Rush mode. That was really clever.
new movement is good keep haiting
@@gamerbeast3616 and that’s why they’re going to revert it. You can start hating too
Imo season 4 is worse than season 3 was. Casually and competitively
Based, the cheap cheese Mythics ruined the game especially zero build, I miss the Chapter 2 Season 4 Mythics
@@russiankodiak6849 The old mystics were so fun to use and so easy to combine to your own play style, not everyone flying around with jetpacks and spamming the arsenal
Glad I'm not the only one who feels this way. I was fully expecting people to hate this season for the same reasons they hated Season 3 but somehow people are ok with it now??? 😭
@@Rman1228season 3 is objectively less balanced than season 4
@@Johndavis0097 issue with all of chapter 5 is they keep adding fundamentally broken items. With something like the war machine arsenal, because of how it works, there's no way to balance it so it's fair and fun. It's either op or so weak it's frustrating. Season 4 has more of these, and they're much more variable amongst players in a game (eg, everybody had nitro fists, but there's more spread of iron man gear, arsenal, etc), whereas season 3 had an objectively more fun meta, even post nerfs
Honestly, I don't get the hate for Chapter 5. Personally I really like it. Not a single bad season. Hell, C5S1 removed the burn out that Chapter 4 gave me, and C5S3 was what made me play as much as I did in Chapter 2. Did they fumble a lot of things? Yes. Honestly, as much as I love Chapter 5 (It's my third favorite chapter, I haven't played Chapter 1, but my ranking for Chapters is C2, C3, C5, C4) I have to admit, it has a lot of issues. Rarity removal, UI change, ETC. But, despite those seasons, I've had a lot of fun in C5.
LITERALLY! I was so burned out of this game throughout all of chapter 4 so when this chapter came out I actually had fun with this game for the first time since like c3 s1 (excluding OG). I hope one day the community can see how good this chapter really is.
@@DatMartianChristhe community will only like this chapter if the game gets worse over time, this (in my opinion) was the worst chapter I have ever played, fort rlly threw “balance” out the window. It wasn’t as enjoyable. Ofc for lower skilled ppl spamming mythics and super heroes would be fun.
c5 s3 as a whole was unplayable, it was the worst ever
fr, and I thought C4S3 was bad, this is another level of dogshit
trash take
Dude I loved it idk what your on about
Chapter 4 season 3 is underrated @@AntiZoophileOvergunner
It depended what kind of player and person you were. I loved the non-stop action, but when they started narfing everything, it made magneto gloves and nitro fists unbearable. The unbridled chaos was the only thing that really justified their OPness. And after the nerfs, they were always a 80% loss rate.
I feel like I don't have the best frame of mind to compare and contrast since I actually got into Fortnite *This chapter*. Specifically at the start of the Marvel Crossover and more specifically it was solely because I'm a big Gwenpool fan and was excited to finally play her in a video game. Now I've 100% the battle pass, all of the quests, dipped my toes in Lego, Festival and Racing and even got decently far in Ranked. I can't really speak for the quality in comparison to whatever came before this since... I'm new but I've just been vibing and loving this Season.
Welcome to Fortnite! I started playing in C4 S4, I think I preferred the C4 map a lot more but I definitely had some fun overall with C5. My favourite season so far is C5 S3, though I don't agree with this guy's reasoning and I loved it the most when it was at it's most balanced (after the car nerfs but before the magneto gloves). That made the cars feel really fun since they weren't too OP. I'd say S2 and S1 are fairly tied in terms of quality. This current season has been my least favourite tbh but I'm still enjoying it and there's plenty of fun to be had. Festival's an awesome mode too. Can't wait to see what C6 has in store.
people have been crying about new seasons for like 6 years. i wish theyd just uninstall instead of crying all year. i skipped gwen spiderman season. didnt go online to moan about it, just quietly uninstalled. current season is okay i had more fun in ch2 marvel season
This season was just decent I guess, unfortunate that you joined during the game's lowest and you can't judge by seeing the full picture
Hot take: Chapter 5 is better than Chapter 3 and 4, and it is ON PAR with Chapter 1.
Really hot take
super hot take but I agree since it’s my second favourite chapter
@@DatMartianChrismf when did you start playing
@ I’ve been playing since chapter 1 season 3

I’m just so tired of this “New Chapter, New Island, New Graphics” one year cycle. It’s honestly just wash, rinse and repeat and it’s so predictable, by the time you get used to the changes they change again. It’s so tiring.
i absolutely hate this chapter and i hate people who love this chapter.
this chapter is ass, i cant explain why because my brain is too fried rn.
Hate? Pretty strong words for simply a group of people who like playing a video game
@@hondaaccord1399 yes, i hate this chapter.
@@AkiyamerGaming
But do you hate the people playing it? You seriously waste away your limited time on this planet hating _the people_ who like this season?
Ch5 season 1 was one of my favs. But every other chapter was disappointment other than a few pickaxes and gliders lol, i do like some new guns for creative but still no mythic powers for creative so
I think Chapter 5 is a 7.5-8/10 Chapter, hear me out, Chapter 5 Season 1: was one of Fortnites Best Seasons in the Top 10 best Seasons, it was very good, Strong Weapons, Great Graphics, Solid Mobility, and Great Weapons. The Map was pretty good, a little plain but not bad. Medalions were 10/10 and a lot better, Mythics were 10/10 Amazing, thus Season was great, Weapon Attachments were Amazing, But, Bullet-Drop instead of Hitscan was pretty Mid, now it's not bad, but still Hitscan is just better.
Chapter 5 Season 2: New Great Poi's, Mythics were amazing, Weapons were Amazing, Medalions were the best, Nerfed Snipers and Shotguns, Avatar Mythics, Kinda a Mid-Good Season.
Chapter 5 Season 3: Cars were Op, At first this Season was really good, after it was pretty Mid, The Metalica and pirates of Caribbean update was Good, but this season was overall pretty good, Medalions were not bad, and mythics were good. Mid season.
Chapter 5 Season 4: At first this was one of Fortnites best Marvel themed seasons, now it's not bad but gets boring after awhile. Mythics were good, Medalions were not bad, only 1 was really good being Emma Frosts Reveal Medalion, and the only real good mythics were Sovereign Shotgun and Doombots monarch Pistol, and war machines with iron man boots. Pretty good Season.
Overall Opinion best to worst:
#1. Chapter 5 Season 1,
#2. Chapter 5 Season 4,
#3. Chapter 5 Season 2,
#4. Chapter 5 Season 3.
Putting Chapter 5 Season 1 into the top 10 seasons of all time is quite the take 😆
@@cash5512 it was such a good season
Bro i’m on a binge of your videos there actually all so fire, keep up the good work dude
Fortnite babies when their beloved shooting game is trying to innovate and not be stagnant boring game
You’re alone on this one💀
"innovate" innovate how? by making the game worse?
the criticism is valid, “babies”are gullible to anything Fortnite adds. It’s only gotten worse over the year😭
The locker and is indefensible, Fortnite shill hard at work.
Epic can just make another video game. They don’t need to change the fundamentals of Fortnite like the movement to be innovative
The sheer performance issues were what killed it for me. I have a Ryzen 3700x and a 1080ti which is old, but not so old to where I shouldn't be able to play Fortnite with much reduced graphics settings and still drop below 60fps consistently.
In my opinion ch4 is by far the worst at least ch5 season 1 and 4 were great
Eh, i disagree. Chapter 5 was a great chapter for experimentation but I would go back to Chapter 4 in a heartbeat. New movement, weird shift to a realistic game style, BULLET DROP FOR ALL WEAPONS >:(, and them not even trying to make new weapon mods after season 2. Overall this chapter was a huge sandbox of "lets throw stuff at the wall and see what sticks", the problem is almost nothing stuck lol. I didnt hate C5, definitely had fun moments, but its my least favorite by a landslide.
I thought I hated chapter 4 more but looking back I had a ton of fun during season 2 and 3 that I never got in chapter 5 because everyone quit after season 1. Overall while chapter four had a awful map and story it's still overall better because it felt like Fortnite.
Chapter 5 just didn't feel right, my friend who quit said he quit because he started to realize how corporate it became after og.
Ch5s1 was even worse than ch4s3💀
The metaverse was only taking more focus since they wanted them to release with chapter 5, but now that theyve settled in, battle royale has been more at the forefront
I had a blast I don't know what your guys are talking about. I guess some players just can't let go of the past and want to live in the past but to be honest if Fortnite didn't update every season the game would have died a long time ago.
You clearly missed the point
@@ApolloMusicWasTaken hears a good argument on chapter five, proceeds to ignore the whole video and claim nostalgia. Pretty average chapter 5 enjoyer
this was rhe chapter i quit. i miss fortnite prior to chapter 4, less collabs and if there were collabs they would be normal and spaced out and felt special. also a storyline, originality, fun gameplay, ugh i miss it so much.
The reason chapter 5 failed is that it didn’t. Thats literally it. This chapter was really really fun and was way better than the 2 worst chapters (aka chapter 2 and chapter 3). This chapter really was a testing ground to see how epic can improve the game by learning form og and trying out new things and those new things where really really fun! Every season this chapter has had tons of quality updates that added a good amount in each one. Also chapter 5 season 1 was in the top 5 best seasons of all time and I’ve been playing since chapter 1 and the new movement is literally the exact same feeling, at the beginning when it was slower it took like 1 game to get used to lol.
What? Chapter 2 was by far the BEST. It introduced most of the features seen today.
@@faded4574 💀
The problem is that it did.
This chapter being a testing ground was not a good thing, most people consider 3/4 or 2/4 of this chapter mid or bad.
I can't blame them.
S1, extremely different for no reason.
S2, lack of updates.
S3, op weapons.
S4, again op weapons.
Saying this chapter is a testing ground isn't as smart of a point as you think it is.
@@layne_the_nerdch2 is the worst
The only feature we got from it was swimming and fishing lmfao
Ok you are just wrong. Chapter 2 and 3 being the worst?
I’ve been complaining about the art style so much lately! I miss the quirkiness of the buildings and objects. Chapter 4 really did do a decent job of blending it but I hated how they completely got rid of the cartoonish style.
16:46 again, CHAPTER 3 EXISTS
Chapter 3 was not as bad as this 😭
?? Chapter 3 was good asf wym
Chapter 3 was one of the best, what the hell are you talking about?
Great video it felt like you read my thoughts about the whole chapter 5. Hopefully this new season brings people back and the old cartoonishly look it once had.
With season 4, the biggest problem for me with the mashup skins is that they chose the most reused characters out there when they have a thousand characters to choose from. Jonesy was literally on the first battle pass of this chapter, so he didn't need to be included again. Peely had gotten a new skin in Myths and Mortals as well as a new LEGO pass skin this season and didn't need to be included. I know Peelverine was hinted at before in chapter 2, but he should have been an item shop character. Meowscles didn't need a mashup skin, especially since he's getting a new skin next season and has skins in the store. Oscar would have been a better mashup since he is an actual tiger, which fits Sabertooth better,
and he's a villain. Oscar also doesn't have a shop skin, which would have been great for people who didn't play Season 1.
I would like to see more previous battle pass characters get new skins for the shop. It's cool having a second Calamity skin in a pack that looks equally as cool as the exclusive one. There's a ton of characters like Catalyst, Sidewinder, and Dire that haven't returned yet.
The best way I can see the metaverse is a quote from Shigeru Miyamoto: “A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad", maybe people would’ve enjoyed it more if they’d not rushed out the modes
Honestly the ONLY good thing they did in my opinion is the moving while healing. Maybe it’s because I am an apex player as well but the moving while healing is great.
Epic Games actually planned to make FN a multiverse based game with many modes which is why BR came so quickly after Save the World as it was already in development the reason it took so long for the other modes is because Epic had to wait for some stronger consoles and to get companies in their hands for the other modes they also knew it would take time to develop the modes
My ranking of chapter 5 seasons:
1. Season 1
2. Season 3
3. Season 2
4. Season 4
not to mention the balancing. weapons this chapter got over powered really quickly and it was annoying its like they never properly tested them.
