I remember watching your vids as a kid for starcraft 2 and even drawing them on my own. It’s nice to see you still make content. I still play the Carnot animation mod on sc2 sometimes as well!😊
I tried it when it 1st came out. BR's were really popular then. It was fun for the 1st few days but then got old. I realized I was in lobbies with problem children and really sad adults still living at home with their parents.
When I first tried the game, I thought it would be 2 big teams building huge fortresses together and then go on epic sieges for hours, which would have been cool. Instead, this is what I found. 100% accurate.
As someone who got into Fortnite when it was only what is now "Save the World," I am convinced that is the same thought the developers has as well. If you look at some of the older trailers for Fortnite BR it really leans into this idea too. What it became instead was a different monster entirely.
I think that's save the world mode. The two big teams you're talking about is On the old 50v50 where you have time to build a fortress before pvp starts. I kinda want 50v50 back tbh
Oh god, you're describing Source Forts for HL2. I dumped hundreds of hours into that game in 2009, I still remember some old tricks to make really awesome bunkers.
I actually enjoyed the game play it's building mechanics distinguished dead from all other games in the genre Problem was it was only fun when I played with my friends so when they stopped I did too
Yeah pretty much. One shot in their general direction and they instantly turn into a 10 story building. I played it when it first came out and everyone was still a noob. That's when the game was fun. The 50 v 50 mode was also awesome. Then I got bored and deleted it. When a friend asked me to setup a match I re-downloaded it and this was my experience. Haven't touched it since.
He forgot the duo of aimbotting snipers that either instantly kill you across the map or are so incompetent that you can walk up to them and bash their heads in.
Yup, that's about right. Some people say video games aren't constructive, Fortnight shows that people will construct in the midst of a bloody firefight. I've seen videos where it devolves into two people aggressively building in melee range at each other until one finally figures out building doesn't do damage, brings out a weapon, and makes the other guy rage. It's fun to watch, though almost completely incomprehensible.
Fortnite is really one of the most inaccessible games for new players. You basically have to q up for hundreds of hours and get slaughtered repeatedly.
Perfection. I told my kid, "We're either playing Zero Build or you can forget about having Daddy around." --- Not sure my phrasing was what it should have been, but he's a Zero Build kid now.
I heard they had a no-build mode that was extremely fun, I thought that mode became the new main mode and building was a side mode or something, but ig I misunderstood that bit. But this does sum-up first time experiences I remember when I first played it long ago lol
Building is still the main mode, but Zero Build has become so popular that it’s unofficially the main mode, to the point the Chapter 4 island was designed with Zero Build in mind
the first time i played fortnite was exactly this, i somehow made it to the final 5 players, and found myself against masters of the mystic arts, constructing pathways in the middle of the air for themselves to run across and appear behind me
Yeah... That's why I could never get into Fortnite before. A single stray bullet within 100m radius of an enemy and they just build a skyscraper around them in half a second. Now that Zero Build is out I play with the lads every day. Build-Sweaties are legit the worst.
I'd be impressed if that's the case since when I tried the funny for some interactions like t posing on a mountain or sth people would immediately shoot me without hesitation at least 90% of all times
@@FailBanana98 I hear you but people that wear the banana skin faithfully are a different breed. Either S tier player or noob, literally no in between when you see that skin lmao.
Though I do not wear the Banana, I would've 1000% done the same thing out of pure disbelief. 😂It's rare to see someone getting used to building in pubs nowadays.
Someone random wearing the peely skin actually teamed up with me when I first started one of my first matches, he used the hug emote , and we just drove around jumping people in zero build. I love peelys ever since from that day forward.
I remember when the game was supposed to be a zombie survival with a twist that you built your own bases and defenses to protect yourself with the pve as a side game. So disappointed the main game got scrapped 😔
This. I had actually got a founders pack and waa playing the save the world mode when it first came out and I really loved it. But then the BR came out and moved the focus from the actual Story mode. It was such a shame
Accurate; the few times I've played after trying the regular BR mode was in No Build. It definitively plays better in the latter, IMO. Otherwise, you basically have to learn space magic to instant-build houses around you. And I ain't no wizard.
@@ayokel9194 or he can keep dunking on you in no build mode. Which is much more fun the the crazy draged out building contests I've had with other players which allways ended in someone running away instead of dieing. I was good at building back then in the early seasons when I played(I have no idea how anoying it is today) and it just wasn't the best.
I think a lot of people don't know that Fortnite was originally a P2W zombie horde survivor game. The build-mode was one of the primary aspects of protecting the objective. I actually liked the original concept. Now, people only know it as a battle royale.
Was waiting for someone to throw a miracle nade that found its way into the second building, down the hall, bounced off the bathroom wall, and rolled right up next to the snipers feet.
Feels very much relateable. I did play some Fortnite with a friend, and how fast others build stuff, or how good they were at hitting you while you simply try to get used to the weapons was... frustrating. Especially since you got spawned into games with what felt like long time players.
To be fair, there's still Zero Builds mode if you don't want any of the building. And you can always just try and land in a really far away place that's bound to be secluded. Also, they have Skill Based Matchmaking so if you just started for the first time, it should've put you in a match full of AI and maybe a few very unskilled players.
Yup, sounds about right. One of the reasons why I don't play Fortnite. The other is the screaming kids and teenagers yelling obscenities. If I wanted to hear that, I'd just visit my local shops irl.
Its very accurate. The only game on my console with less than an hour played. Besides demos. A friend told me there's a no build mode but I'd rather play war zone or pubg for a bit more realistic feel.
@@DrAnimePhD yes and it’s full of those bots from the beginning of the video. Only y’all think they’re the only players worse than you at fortnite and pretend you’re in pvp
omg that is soo freaking true, i tried the game too recently. I actually kinda like it, but i prefer to run in the no build mode. Not only is the build mode annoying, it also means that old time players have waaaay too big advantages over new players. While no build mode, you just gotta rely on skill, eyesight and reflexes... the build mode allows players who have been around for ages to just whip out their build mode and build a castle 3 sec flat. You as a newbie, however, have to check over what you can build and where the snap points are and god knows what else... as if keeping track of your guns wasnt enough for starters.
"While no build mode, you just gotta rely on skill, eyesight and reflexes" then you say "You as a newbie, however, have to check over what you can build and where the snap points are and god knows what else... as if keeping track of your guns wasnt enough for starters." so no build is for lesser skilled players
@@Sly2BandOfThievesIsTheBestSly what the hell are you talking about? I was comparing the build and no build mode. In no build you just have to rely on your reflexes, eyesight and skill with guns and your character, while in build mode you also have to learn what, where and how to build. Old time players have that advantage that they just set up their bunker in about 5 seconds while you (as a newbie) would have to waddle around several minutes just to get the roof and 4 walls up. You dont have the "time" to waste to even try and build cover because you get blown to pieces when it goes down. So in no build, this little issue is removed and no sudden walls pop up in a second while you are trying to shoot someone. Instead they have to get to cover the old fashioned way... running and dodging your shots or firing back. Calling it a mode for lesser skilled though is not exactly correct because the skill of building is omitted while you still need to have skill in aiming, hiding and other skills you would need in a 3rd or FPS shooter games. So if you only know how to beat players with building, no wonder you look down on the no build option because it is apparent that your other skills are not up to par with the players in the no build options. Now if you are a newbie and dont know much about anything, then having to learn building aside from all the shooting, dodging and gun management, its just another thing to learn that just slows you down, especially if you have to go against anyone who can build their bunkers in a couple of seconds. That is why the no build mode is better for newbies because they can focus on learning most of how the game works without having too much thrown on them at the very start. They still arent going to fare well against a well skilled player tough.
I see now what you are saying, but it would've been more obvious if you had phrased it a different way. Because of the "just" (and maybe 'gotta' etc.) I interpreted it in another way. Maybe if you used the word 'only' or something. I guess I first saw it as you saying you just need skill in no-build, meanwhile in build mode you just whip up a castle. Although if I read it a few more times I maybe would've got what you were saying because you were talking about old time players@@starfall17
You should try DRG next, battle pass is completely free and you can unlock all past battle pass stuff via gameplay alone. And its fun as hell. Rock & Stone
I have so many videos ive slowed down where you can blatantly see one of 2 things. A-your shots hitting them, but being counted as misses B- them shooting about an inch to my side, bullets flying past me, yet im being hit, even behind cover.
I remember the day they unabled build for something about the lore, i got hate massages from 14 years old for "Harrasing" them around the map (Basically just killing them) It was beautiful
My son convinced me to start playing last month and this perfectly captures how I felt when I first played! (It's also why I play Zero Build; it's all I can do to keep my guns and other items straight, let alone remember how to build in the heat of battle!)
everything i've heard of this game is that it becomes infinitely better in the mode that just removes the building experience, and people who got really good at building a fort knox on reaction really hate that fact.
You heard? Lmao people who sucked at building are in bot lobbies in zero build mode. Literally 80 bots and 20 players. Y’all are clueless. Can’t even tell when you’re playing bots lmao
@@smokeywilyumz9634 I'm pretty sure many of the most influential and beloved competitive shooters don't offer you the choice to stop the war and build a two-story summer home whenever a bullet whizzes by, but to be fair I haven't played CS:GO in a hot minute
@@edfreak9001 building your own cover vs sitting behind a generic wall that will always be in the same place. The shooting mechanics in fortnite are even simpler than call of duty. It’s like putting training wheels on a bicycle because you can’t do a backflip. With your logic running shouldn’t be in the game either because it interrupts the shooting. Fortnite was the most popular game of all time years before they removed building. I don’t like league of legends but I’m not gonna cry about the mechanics I probably suck at
This still makes it look way more fun than it actually is. 95% of all battle royale games is wandering around an empty map and scavenging before getting killed by a sniper you can't see. I've always understood why a lot of trends explode, even if I personally didn't enjoy them. I got League of Legends. I got Mindcraft. I got Quake and Call of Duty. But Fortnite and the whole battle royale genre? I don't get it. First game trend that made me feel like an old man.
Zero Build is fun. Don't let the sweaty build supremacists gatekeep fun just because you don't have the reflexes of a paranoid martial artist and the building talents of a Mario Maker kaizo level designer in one.
Two reasons why I have picked up Fortnite on chapter 3 and haven’t quit playing, zero-build and creative. Zero-build gives new players a chance at playing the game, and if I get bored or get put into skilled lobbies, I can just switch over to creative and still have fun. If those two modes didn’t exist, I would have quit by now. (Interested to see what creative 2.0 and first-person is going to do.)
The only difference I've found is that when you are waiting for the bus to leave, usually half the players are using the default brunette woman skin and not any unique skins.
My son actually bribed me into trying Fortnite a few years ago with him and I am more than a casual gamer, let's say I would do jail time before ever trying this again. How people play this is beyond me.
This is one of the greatest things I have ever seen. Well done!!

I remember watching your vids as a kid for starcraft 2 and even drawing them on my own. It’s nice to see you still make content. I still play the Carnot animation mod on sc2 sometimes as well!😊
I tried it when it 1st came out. BR's were really popular then. It was fun for the 1st few days but then got old. I realized I was in lobbies with problem children and really sad adults still living at home with their parents.
When I first tried the game, I thought it would be 2 big teams building huge fortresses together and then go on epic sieges for hours, which would have been cool. Instead, this is what I found. 100% accurate.
As someone who got into Fortnite when it was only what is now "Save the World," I am convinced that is the same thought the developers has as well. If you look at some of the older trailers for Fortnite BR it really leans into this idea too. What it became instead was a different monster entirely.
I think that's save the world mode.
The two big teams you're talking about is On the old 50v50 where you have time to build a fortress before pvp starts.
I kinda want 50v50 back tbh
@@nori87 isn't 50v50 still in the game? Unless team rumble is not the same
Oh god, you're describing Source Forts for HL2. I dumped hundreds of hours into that game in 2009, I still remember some old tricks to make really awesome bunkers.
@@triple-d2640 Team rumble is a 20v20. We had no build 40v40 last season.
100% accurate. They just beat others in that genre to market share and keep it with marketing and events, despite the gameplay.
Hunt showdown is so much better. (Not a pure BR but it is amazing)
@@tnecniw it definitely is, but unfortunately, it's not for everyone.
@@D43vul i would love to see Hunt with modern weapons. Tried the game a few times, it’s awesome but the „cowboy“ setting isn’t for me 😰
I actually enjoyed the game play it's building mechanics distinguished dead from all other games in the genre
Problem was it was only fun when I played with my friends so when they stopped I did too
It's better than Warzone 2 at least
No build is definitely more fun and made me enjoy the game genuinely
As a dark souls player i am happy to finally show my friend that only plays fortnite your chanel
Yeah pretty much. One shot in their general direction and they instantly turn into a 10 story building. I played it when it first came out and everyone was still a noob. That's when the game was fun. The 50 v 50 mode was also awesome. Then I got bored and deleted it. When a friend asked me to setup a match I re-downloaded it and this was my experience. Haven't touched it since.
I was one of the super-early players.
Battle Royal fuckin' ruined it. It was a fun PvE game, originally.
@@draeath saved the world still exists. There’s plenty of pve in creative as well. You sound silly
I mean, Zero Build mode is still there, you know, the mode that has none of that.

He forgot the duo of aimbotting snipers that either instantly kill you across the map or are so incompetent that you can walk up to them and bash their heads in.
Yup, that's about right. Some people say video games aren't constructive, Fortnight shows that people will construct in the midst of a bloody firefight.
I've seen videos where it devolves into two people aggressively building in melee range at each other until one finally figures out building doesn't do damage, brings out a weapon, and makes the other guy rage. It's fun to watch, though almost completely incomprehensible.
you are so clueless lol its hilarious
Yeah. I personally can’t box fight for the life of me so if I’m playing competitively I’ll just have to AR spam my opponent 😅
Pretty much my Fortnite experience too tbh
I sadly tried the multilayer, with coms it s worse
@@AbleAsmitha I can only imagine. You must be a mad lad to willingly subject yourself to that level of cringe.
Fortnite is really one of the most inaccessible games for new players. You basically have to q up for hundreds of hours and get slaughtered repeatedly.
Perfection. I told my kid, "We're either playing Zero Build or you can forget about having Daddy around." --- Not sure my phrasing was what it should have been, but he's a Zero Build kid now.
I heard they had a no-build mode that was extremely fun, I thought that mode became the new main mode and building was a side mode or something, but ig I misunderstood that bit. But this does sum-up first time experiences I remember when I first played it long ago lol
It’s now a permanent mode
@@SKBY yeah, because nobody plays build crap anymore XD
Building is still the main mode, but Zero Build has become so popular that it’s unofficially the main mode, to the point the Chapter 4 island was designed with Zero Build in mind
zero build is becoming the main mode nowadays, it gets his own tournaments and etc
It is a permanente mode, and I believe that No Build is more popular than the building one
the first time i played fortnite was exactly this, i somehow made it to the final 5 players, and found myself against masters of the mystic arts, constructing pathways in the middle of the air for themselves to run across and appear behind me
Yeah... That's why I could never get into Fortnite before. A single stray bullet within 100m radius of an enemy and they just build a skyscraper around them in half a second.
Now that Zero Build is out I play with the lads every day. Build-Sweaties are legit the worst.
My experience with Fortnite in a nutshell. I never uninstalled a game that quick
What a noob take

The banana really watched you struggle, didn't he.
I'd be impressed if that's the case since when I tried the funny for some interactions like t posing on a mountain or sth people would immediately shoot me without hesitation at least 90% of all times
@@FailBanana98 I hear you but people that wear the banana skin faithfully are a different breed. Either S tier player or noob, literally no in between when you see that skin lmao.
Though I do not wear the Banana, I would've 1000% done the same thing out of pure disbelief. 😂It's rare to see someone getting used to building in pubs nowadays.
Someone random wearing the peely skin actually teamed up with me when I first started one of my first matches, he used the hug emote , and we just drove around jumping people in zero build.
I love peelys ever since from that day forward.
I remember when the game was supposed to be a zombie survival with a twist that you built your own bases and defenses to protect yourself with the pve as a side game. So disappointed the main game got scrapped 😔
Its still there i think. As a game mode somewhere hidden in a menu.
It's still in the game under a name "save the world", I've tried it and it's pretty fun even though I don't really care for games like that
This. I had actually got a founders pack and waa playing the save the world mode when it first came out and I really loved it. But then the BR came out and moved the focus from the actual Story mode. It was such a shame
it aint scrapped, it became a pay2play mode, but i don't know is the story still continues or concluded
main game still runs on ps4
That “nooo! :(“ as his blueprint blew away. I felt that.
honestly, i prefer building as i am good at it. But yes, the zero-build mode is certainly a nice break from builds.
'So I tried Fortnite'
Don't worry, we all make mistakes
Facts.
Zero build is superior, and this video is incredibly accurate
It really is.
agreed
It’s like adding gutter guards. Also you’re fighting 80 ai and 20 real people. Super fun
AAHAHAHAHAH
Agree
And thats why I play zero build. No shooting at someone and seeing a 3 story mansion materialize.
As a retuning gamer who plays zero builds this is one of my all time favorite YT videos.
Accurate; the few times I've played after trying the regular BR mode was in No Build. It definitively plays better in the latter, IMO. Otherwise, you basically have to learn space magic to instant-build houses around you.
And I ain't no wizard.
Yes, you have to put in time to learn actual skills. Stick to COD.

@@ayokel9194 or he can keep dunking on you in no build mode. Which is much more fun the the crazy draged out building contests I've had with other players which allways ended in someone running away instead of dieing.

I think a lot of people don't know that Fortnite was originally a P2W zombie horde survivor game. The build-mode was one of the primary aspects of protecting the objective. I actually liked the original concept. Now, people only know it as a battle royale.
0:20 Walking while shooting on mobile be like
Was waiting for someone to throw a miracle nade that found its way into the second building, down the hall, bounced off the bathroom wall, and rolled right up next to the snipers feet.
These animations are so good, cant get enough of them, they are always spot on
It is good to know that materials are limited to 500 so you have to be more tactical when building your mansions and make them with one less floor.
You forgot the most important part of this game from "Epic" : LOOT BOXES AND MICRO TRANSACTIONS aimed at children.
Same, feeling. Started 2 weeks ago on main, felt like crap. Switched to no-build and now I'm having fun 😊
Feels very much relateable.
I did play some Fortnite with a friend, and how fast others build stuff, or how good they were at hitting you while you simply try to get used to the weapons was... frustrating.
Especially since you got spawned into games with what felt like long time players.
To be fair, there's still Zero Builds mode if you don't want any of the building. And you can always just try and land in a really far away place that's bound to be secluded.
Also, they have Skill Based Matchmaking so if you just started for the first time, it should've put you in a match full of AI and maybe a few very unskilled players.
Yup, sounds about right. One of the reasons why I don't play Fortnite. The other is the screaming kids and teenagers yelling obscenities. If I wanted to hear that, I'd just visit my local shops irl.
00:48 Best part, nowhere shooting 🤣❤️
Thanks dude for confirming my fears about this game!
Don’t worry Fortnite has a Zero Build for this reason
Its very accurate. The only game on my console with less than an hour played. Besides demos. A friend told me there's a no build mode but I'd rather play war zone or pubg for a bit more realistic feel.
Fears that this game relies on macros rather than skill?
@@DrAnimePhD yes and it’s full of those bots from the beginning of the video. Only y’all think they’re the only players worse than you at fortnite and pretend you’re in pvp
Hahahaha, should have added a no-build part as well.
So good
As a reminder Fort Nite got its name from the fact that it was a Base Building Horde Survival game originally.
it still is. but they also have no build mode which is just funner and better
The build mode works against the zombie hordes. It's part of the pay version of fortnite though.

@@Sushie55 they’re talking about zero build.
Fairly accurate depiction of build mode, which is why i play nobbuild, or the adventure modes
omg that is soo freaking true, i tried the game too recently. I actually kinda like it, but i prefer to run in the no build mode. Not only is the build mode annoying, it also means that old time players have waaaay too big advantages over new players. While no build mode, you just gotta rely on skill, eyesight and reflexes... the build mode allows players who have been around for ages to just whip out their build mode and build a castle 3 sec flat. You as a newbie, however, have to check over what you can build and where the snap points are and god knows what else... as if keeping track of your guns wasnt enough for starters.
btw... we want more!!! at least i do, i dont know about others :D
"While no build mode, you just gotta rely on skill, eyesight and reflexes" then you say "You as a newbie, however, have to check over what you can build and where the snap points are and god knows what else... as if keeping track of your guns wasnt enough for starters." so no build is for lesser skilled players
@@Sly2BandOfThievesIsTheBestSly what the hell are you talking about? I was comparing the build and no build mode. In no build you just have to rely on your reflexes, eyesight and skill with guns and your character, while in build mode you also have to learn what, where and how to build. Old time players have that advantage that they just set up their bunker in about 5 seconds while you (as a newbie) would have to waddle around several minutes just to get the roof and 4 walls up. You dont have the "time" to waste to even try and build cover because you get blown to pieces when it goes down. So in no build, this little issue is removed and no sudden walls pop up in a second while you are trying to shoot someone. Instead they have to get to cover the old fashioned way... running and dodging your shots or firing back. Calling it a mode for lesser skilled though is not exactly correct because the skill of building is omitted while you still need to have skill in aiming, hiding and other skills you would need in a 3rd or FPS shooter games. So if you only know how to beat players with building, no wonder you look down on the no build option because it is apparent that your other skills are not up to par with the players in the no build options. Now if you are a newbie and dont know much about anything, then having to learn building aside from all the shooting, dodging and gun management, its just another thing to learn that just slows you down, especially if you have to go against anyone who can build their bunkers in a couple of seconds. That is why the no build mode is better for newbies because they can focus on learning most of how the game works without having too much thrown on them at the very start. They still arent going to fare well against a well skilled player tough.
I see now what you are saying, but it would've been more obvious if you had phrased it a different way. Because of the "just" (and maybe 'gotta' etc.) I interpreted it in another way. Maybe if you used the word 'only' or something. I guess I first saw it as you saying you just need skill in no-build, meanwhile in build mode you just whip up a castle. Although if I read it a few more times I maybe would've got what you were saying because you were talking about old time players@@starfall17
@@Sly2BandOfThievesIsTheBestSly well, English is not my native language. Also I was never good at expressing myself...

This was pretty much my experience from my first time playing Fortnite. I like how the guns have CSGO gun sounds
Do a Planetside 2 one.
Just play „no building“. It’s so much more fun cause of it’s casualness
You still get your try hards though...
I love playing no build
I love how the guns don’t actually hit anything
Only once the rng gods see fit to give you a blue or better weapon will you be able to hit what your aiming at. The game is a mess
I have so many videos ive slowed down where you can blatantly see one of 2 things. A-your shots hitting them, but being counted as misses B- them shooting about an inch to my side, bullets flying past me, yet im being hit, even behind cover.
That was making fun of the bots in the game, which are programmed to miss 80% of shots even when you stand right in front of them.
0 construction its for noobs
@@dearplace7935 No, its for ppl that have good aim and dont have to hide in a fortress
I remember the day they unabled build for something about the lore, i got hate massages from 14 years old for "Harrasing" them around the map (Basically just killing them)
It was beautiful
The lobby part is the most relatable thing ever 0:10
This video is more accurate than any shots taken in it.
Gotta do that No Build Mode guys! So much more enjoyable
That’s because your lobbies only have 20 real players. Most wouldn’t think that’s fun
@@smokeywilyumz9634 major copium
My son convinced me to start playing last month and this perfectly captures how I felt when I first played! (It's also why I play Zero Build; it's all I can do to keep my guns and other items straight, let alone remember how to build in the heat of battle!)
absolutely marvelous gives me back memories of old times when i was a noob
My first experience was dying on the way down from the bus to someone that had already loaded up on weapons before I even touched the ground.
Not sure which is more painful to play. Enjoyable but emotionally painful Elden Ring, or physically painful Fortnite.
I'm so used to the Elden Ring shorts, I was confused when the them song didn't play at the end.
Personally, I only enjoyed building BEFORE turbo build was introduced.
Now if I ever play, it's always on no build 🤷♂️
I could never play in build modes but since zero builds it has been a great experience
Game with most idiotic mechanics. True.
This is me playing for the first time last night. 🤣
You captured the experience perfectly. I’d expect nothing less. 💯
100% Fortnite! In the middle of a firearms shooting and people start building their garden homes like maniacs.
everything i've heard of this game is that it becomes infinitely better in the mode that just removes the building experience, and people who got really good at building a fort knox on reaction really hate that fact.
You heard? Lmao people who sucked at building are in bot lobbies in zero build mode. Literally 80 bots and 20 players. Y’all are clueless. Can’t even tell when you’re playing bots lmao
@@smokeywilyumz9634 still sounds better than people who build castle ramparts every time they aren't getting off the first hit

@@smokeywilyumz9634 I'm pretty sure many of the most influential and beloved competitive shooters don't offer you the choice to stop the war and build a two-story summer home whenever a bullet whizzes by, but to be fair I haven't played CS:GO in a hot minute
@@edfreak9001 building your own cover vs sitting behind a generic wall that will always be in the same place. The shooting mechanics in fortnite are even simpler than call of duty. It’s like putting training wheels on a bicycle because you can’t do a backflip. With your logic running shouldn’t be in the game either because it interrupts the shooting. Fortnite was the most popular game of all time years before they removed building. I don’t like league of legends but I’m not gonna cry about the mechanics I probably suck at
i love how all gun sound are from cs
This is so accurate and hilarious omg bro 😂
This still makes it look way more fun than it actually is. 95% of all battle royale games is wandering around an empty map and scavenging before getting killed by a sniper you can't see.
I've always understood why a lot of trends explode, even if I personally didn't enjoy them. I got League of Legends. I got Mindcraft. I got Quake and Call of Duty. But Fortnite and the whole battle royale genre? I don't get it. First game trend that made me feel like an old man.
Yep. Nailed it. 👌🏻😄
My man clearly had a great time
Zero Build is fun. Don't let the sweaty build supremacists gatekeep fun just because you don't have the reflexes of a paranoid martial artist and the building talents of a Mario Maker kaizo level designer in one.
Two reasons why I have picked up Fortnite on chapter 3 and haven’t quit playing, zero-build and creative. Zero-build gives new players a chance at playing the game, and if I get bored or get put into skilled lobbies, I can just switch over to creative and still have fun. If those two modes didn’t exist, I would have quit by now. (Interested to see what creative 2.0 and first-person is going to do.)
the banana dude perspective was just brilliant🤣
I feel this in my soul. 😂 Would love to see a Lethal Company short.
The only difference I've found is that when you are waiting for the bus to leave, usually half the players are using the default brunette woman skin and not any unique skins.
So accurate, just like my first experience with Fortnite.
Amazing work! 100% accurate of the 1st time experience😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀
I'm crying laughing! This is SPOT ON!!! Remembering my first time playing FN.
My son actually bribed me into trying Fortnite a few years ago with him and I am more than a casual gamer, let's say I would do jail time before ever trying this again.
How people play this is beyond me.
So relatable
Your animations are the best man. I love them I look forward to them when you upload it. You sum up everyone's experience.
Sadly I never played it as it looks too cartoonish for me
I only played this game once at a friends and that was the actual feeling I got trying to start a new character.
