Why Fortnite: Save The World Was Abandoned

- On June 30th, 2020, Epic Games released an end-of-month blog post on the state of Fortnite’s PvE mode, Save the World. This state of development post was a massive blow to its community which effectively announced that Epic had abandoned focused development on this mode. Slowing down the frequency of new updates and content, and completely cancelling the rest of its storyline while keeping the game as a premium title instead of it going F2P as promised back in 2018...So how did Epic fumble it's orginal mode so badly? Well, let's talk about it.

I have over 1000 days completed on this game, started back in 2018. I remember watching David Dean 24/7 just for his builds, along with TeamVash. The community is still here, there are still a lot of players grinding this game out, including myself, it is so much fun. I personally love ventures. New players will never understand the struggle of having to hit each piece of build in your SSD to knock it all down. unlike now where is destroys after 1 hit. Good times, good video, good memories.

That last part in fact was not a good time. Nor was it even close to a fun system lol. This games worst change to date though? The damn running. It’s nasty. Other than that, this game thrives. Beautiful game.

@Benny ah yes ezekiel 33:12. mother teresa, gandhi, and the millions of non christians genuinely being kind and making the world a better place, but theyre just gonna get tossed in the hell bin lmao. all hitler had to do was repent though and he all good to come in though because he at least think jesus = cool and real
when i think of catholicism or christianity i think of times of stuff like galileos story and his house arrest, and "4 corners" being mentioned multiple times in the bible... u ppl were literally some of the first flat earthers lmao get a grip. i can just sniff the "theres no morality without christianity" on u and its putrid. i can only guess what u think of poorer countries and their ppl. i hope u geniunely stop talking to that brick wall soon and get better if possible. actually work on getting better urself too though dont just ask sky daddy or something
when i think of catholicism or christianity i also think of all the religious exemption laws, ESPECIALLY the medical exemption laws where hundreds of children have died and suffered because their parents were "christian scientists" that "didnt believe in medicine and physical ailments" and how they can just "pray the sick away" .... i know that because i literally GREW UP IN IT !!! my mom wouldnt even let me fucking have cough medicine growing up, and i was raised in johanessburg... i couldve died as a child because of this, and it wouldve been the least unholy thing to make a child sick and die. like the millions "god does make sick and die" by the millions every day, but dont worry he just has a reason we just dont get lol.
when i think of catholicism or christianity i think of the staggering numbers of clergy abuse, its to the point to where church molestation insurance is a thing .... the same ppl calling gay ppl groomers just for telling ppl its ok to be gay and nothing else, just because of verses like leviticus 18:22 .... WHICH PPL SAY IS A LAW ONLY PRIESTS FOLLOW BUT STILL DO (it might genuinely be a mistranslation from ancient hebrew too thats the even more sad part) ..
when i think of catholicism or christianity i remember how theres literally practices like "modern revelation" where u have an old guy telling ppl he can literally talk to jesus and makes changes to scripture based on that, like they just kinda pop out their jesus flip phone and dial em up or smth no idea haha
there is hundreds like me that will never follow gods word again, and the sad part is ive met many like me that have stopped being religious purely just because of how much we were fucking suffering. u couldnt tell most of us that any god was listening to us
Hey, you missed that they added crouching after 6 years, along with other movement features like sprinting. They were all ported from BR and crouching especially broke some maps, but it was still awesome being able to do basic movement features
Couldn't agree more. when I got into stw, after playing br tons, it felt so awkward to me not being able to crouch or sprint slide. Thankful now you can switch between the two decently enough.

Idc, they added that only founders can get vbucks now and I bought it 1 month too late
the thing is, i like how save the world has "Chapter 1" Graphics, so if they go back to it, i really want it to stay like that
It's still annoying that when you're rescue survivors and they're stuck in the walls or you can't call the medbot and you're stuck waiting 10 minutes for the mission to end
EXACTLY
the terrain is chapter 1-ish, but they updated the lighting for chapter 2

For reals but it kind of feels creepy, it's just me alone in a old Fortnite season , like nostalgic but creepy at the same time
Save The World was and still is truly unique. No other game except for Pokémon has managed to capture my interest and time so much, which makes its demise so hard to stomach. With a proper budget and development cycle it could have been so much bigger and better than Destiny 2.
No I don't think it would be able to beat D2. Destiny is the main looter shooter and the games are so very different. Also its game mechanics and raids are a tuff to beat and the gun play as well. And D2 appeals to a different player base because it doesn't look cartoony like fortnite does and I know lots of people who play destiny and hate those types of games. And also destiny is a FPS and fortnite is 3rd person. look at all the games that tried to beat D2 and they were all in 3rd person and failed really bad. And in my opinion destiny has the best gun mechanics then any other game even cod. every single gun feels different and does different things. so even with a really good dev team on stw it would not be able to beat destiny as destiny is destiny and no other game has even come close to beating it in the looter shooter genre. there are even more reason why it wouldn't even come close to beating destiny but there's to many and I'm not typing them all. But I'm not gonna lie D2 right now is in a really tough spot and if a game comes out that even closely resembles destiny its over for Bungie. sorry if this is super jumbled up im super tried and about to go to bed.
It definitely wouldn’t have been able to beat destiny 2 but it still would’ve been great.
BWAHAHAHA
@@Eric-gd6fr ??
@@Aigle662frileux bro said it would be better than destiny 2, funny asf
It's a damn shame how a game like this ends up abandoned by the team behind it. Despite all we commanders have been through we're still here and still doing our part even though they gave up long ago. Keep fighting the good fight my fellow commanders
This is nothing new. Epic is famous for abandoning games. First paragon, then the ENTIRE unreal tournament franchise (lmao), not at all surprised that this is next.
I'm pretty sure that if they made this mode F2P and give the same amount of love to it, it would really pay off in the long run.
I don't even play against people anymore, I just spam bot lobbies to do the challenges and complete the BP
Corny.
@@_V.Va_ How is this corny
@@Andiandru what's a bot lobby
I just wish we could have a story expansion. The comedy is so good, the charisma the characters have, the energetic voice acting. This game feels passionate and natural, but yet overshadowed by the BR and Epic's greed. The ending cutscene is cool but it doesn't put and ending for the story and it feels it's lacking something, it ends giving you a taste of "I want more" and it never gives you. Man, there just something about Ray that makes this game feels even better. Her voice lines and personality are so unique and funny and also human (ironic, since she's a robot) but it makes it feel like it have some effort, the jokes are well written, the game is well written. That whole arc in the early Canny Valley when Ray had a crush on Syd and Lard stood with Ray and Sid to reunite his band, it makes that moment feels special, you can feel the emotions the characters are feeling. Idk, man, I just wish this game gets the attention and love it deserves.
what mission we running ? 2 Cor 4:4, repent. Heil GOD
STW has some of the best writing and voice work I've ever heard, I wish they made a movie or episodic show that was just about homebase fighting the storm
@@Zippy_Zolton I wish...
@@yang8271 I at least wanna hope a new IP inspired by STW pops up cuz there's definitely a lot of people that feel the same way we do
Save the world story is absolutely breathtaking? 🙏 🙏 🙏 it is amazing story and everything about it is godly. The characters have best writing ever made 👍. No other game could ever beat save the world ever.
It's still crazy to me that something that was originally intended to be just a fun alternate PvP mode ended up utterly consuming the entire game.
Not surprising, since BR actually was profitably compared to the money sinkhole that is StW, sadly
Save the world is painfully boring ngl. Add a competitive setting to a game with decent mechanics is a recipe for success.
I was one of the original backers for the original Fortnite. I still can't put into words just how devastating it was to watch Battle Royale eclipse the game the way it did.
It's fine bro you're mad you can't play your Lil baby anymore.
@@myname_2663 Dude you have no idea what you're talking about. The whole point of my comment was that BATTLE ROYALE eclipsed the real Fortnite. The game that that title actually belongs to.
Not that Battle Royale got worse as it went on - although it probably did.
@@VioletAeonSnowfield okay, you're mad
@@VioletAeonSnowfield if it makes you feel any better people we're always saying save the world was bad
Yep, I was also a backer. I am still pissed off that they needed money to finish development for save the world, they ended up using the money to finish battle Royale. If they were going to pull that crap, they should have returned any money they received from backers who only supported save the world, but I know that I'll never get my $2k back 😡
I just started playing this game 125 days ago. Was instantly hooked, as confusing as it was for this 50 year old veteran. I play this game everyday amid all the glitch bugs and lags. I love this game and can only hope for a revive in the future. Thanks for telling this story line. It's really ashame they still want to charge you for a part of the game that they have no desire tk update, fix or add any major content too. Btw I subscribed
Yeah hopefully one day epic picks it back up again and brings some actual content in. Glad you enjoyed the video 🙏
I am 64, and I love this game. I am a Platinum Founder. I still look for reasons to play, usually play daily.
@@godlyOrojinthey won’t it makes no money for them, remember they’re a business not your friend to them we’re just a number, a number that is always $0

Save the world really reminded me of "Patapon 3" for the PSP.
It had 4-player missions,
loot collecting,
load-out building,
weapon upgrading,
30~ different classes with upgrade paths,
rare items/icons to collect from events.
but the game was basically at like 0-4 concurrent players while it was still alive.

@@NicknamingNameand right here❤️🔥
this game was poppin and still is g
This game has so much potential, even now it's still a fun game, getting the basics understood can really help you in the long run, Im no og, but I played when the game was somewhat alive and still sometimes play, with a decent overhaul and quality of life improvements before br came out it would of been a killer of a game
Bro i imagine from time to time what this game could've been if it wasn't abandoned
Idfk just imagine some kind of moving buildings or something or saving ssd layouts and copy pasting them man good times
Even now it has so much potential. All they need to do is add new anime, skins, and. A new dungeon every month.
Very good video, love documentary style videos especially about games I love
Ayy I appreciate that a lot man!!!
A living legend! Man I used to watch ur videos!
Man I used to be hyped about your homebase reports every update and they took that away from us, youll not be forgotten
@@FanaticQuill250facts
OH hey I remember watching your videos back in the day.. and yeah I agree :/ STW had alot of potential and it hurts to see epic just treat it like that
Safe to say that it was a big case of bad timing for STW. Released in mid 2017 and just a few months later was entirely overshadowed by the battle royale craze. Though Epic definitely did well when it came to reusing assets from STW for BR. I used to watch BR content a lot which I guess sort of conditioned me on how the ammo and weapon systems would function. Then I finally had time to pick up STW and was confused why the ARs were using small ammo instead of medium like BR lol
Great video.
It's quite sad coming back to STW since a while after stork king came out because of a lack of content and seeing how almost nothing has changed , the game had so much potential yet they just dropped it like it's nothing :/
Save The World truly deserves better. i love the characters, the dialogue, the style. BR has become soulless, mostly relying on crossovers rather than original content, and i have never experienced anything as unique, charismatic, and humorous as STW in terms of gameplay and style. it's really special and it sucks that they left it hanging by a thread seemingly for good
I feel like the worst part is you can tell the people that do the writing still really care about it, because about every 8 or so months, we still do get the periodic mini questline that continues SOME form of narrative that they've had ongoing for a while now. But for me it's never enough and just serves as a false hope that I get to see more of these characters and the excellent writing that I've grown to love since 2018.
That's just recycled content, those questlines appears every year. Unfortunately there is nothing new
Fun fact, the developers at first has you placing the individual boards when you placed a wall. Took early players of the game to convince devs to speed it up to one click.
I didn't play Save the World until a few months ago. I'm surprised how this game has sonmuch content to offer still, I was under the impression it was way less finished as Battle Royale became the main event! I still remembered seeing the original Fortnite trailer and wondering what happened to it.
I keep playing now, especially since you get so much Battle Pass XP, and there's always new weapons and heroes to try to mix things up, but its wild how overlooked this mode is when its attached to one of the most popular games in the world.
just came back how do you get to it?
@@garryfutrell7716 when your in the br lobby go down and go to "made by epic"
This video was hard to watch because it's very sad that a game with such high potential was thrown away. I am 100 percent sure that if the game had continued to receive updates, not necessarily like the Battle Royale mod, everyone who played the game and retired, would probably continue to play to this day. And besides that, The video is very well done, you accurately said everything that needs to be said about the game.
Months after this video released, it is still a bit above life support: in Dec we got an entire new biome (Frosty Fjord). Which, yeah, was released in a very buggy state (and still has a lot of problems with invisible walls and no-build areas, though some things have been fixed), and, yeah, has a lot of reused assets (snow buildings from C4, Meowscle's boat from C2 though the areas are completely redone). But it also has new things, like this giant submarine I've never seen in BR before.
Anyway, this video came up in my recommendations and I watched it as I only started playing StW after BR got big (started C1S8, IIRC) so I was looking for more history. The additional context was informative, but the memes and sound effects _really_ killed any enjoyment I could get from this. Not that jokes are bad, but they were used far too frequently in the video and never really blended well with the documentary stuff. Still, I think there's lots of promise here.
Really loved the video man. I remember seeing that initial trailer and getting kinda hyped then forgetting about for a couple years. Shame development turned out this way, but great to see the community is still passionate about it!
Glad you enjoyed it bro! Yeah save the world was done dirty but i don't regret a second of the time i spent playing haha
At least we don’t have to worry bout collaborations ruining our storyline
How do u enjoy stw it’s so boring
Amazing video as some who has been playing STW for myabe 4+ years now its cool to hear its long but sad history. Hopefulone day we can really Save Save The World
I can’t blame epic for canceling save the world. Save the world was originally the main mode of Fortnite with the battle Royale being side content. However, epic managed to create and sustain a battle royale that very quickly overshadowed the save the world. In my personal estimate, I would say that for every 100 players playing the battle Royale, there was 1 playing save the world. With the battle Royale having so many players and generating so much wealth, I definitely understand why epic would cancel save the world. Move programmers from save the world to give more to the more profitable battle Royale.
There's still no excuse to not make stw free as they removed the ability to earn v bucks in daily challenges for non founders + they just removed the daily logins recently.
I still plays it today but barely since 2018. Hurts my heart when I read the State of Development, I knew Epic really care for BR more. As a Ultimate founder pack player, that was a terrible decision from Epic to drop the main Fortnite players. Great video dude!
It wasn’t a terrible decision to drop STW. They make all their money from BR
The editing the speech, the everything is perfect. I thought you have more than 500 K subs keep it up man we need more videos.
not every four months one Video PLS ❤
Thanks! And yeah I really gotta work on my schedule lmao I'll do my best
bro, just hearing those piano riffs loop in the background while thinking of how youre gonna beat your next ssd while trying to figure out what guns you need to upgrade and what heroes are the best- just the best times ive had across all of fortnite, br and stw. I signed up for the alpha back in 2014, and kinda forgot about it until 2017, and was confused when I heard from a lot of my friends that they wrere playing some battle royale with a name i recognized but couldnt remember what it was. Then I saw it. the building. I dont know if anyone else can remember this alpha showcase footage that I saw back then in 2014 but I havent been able to find the vid, I just remember it being a bunch of scenes, either someone building a cool looking fort while their friends defended them from zombies, or someone exploring the city, jumping from tires and boost pads, rooftop to rooftop. I vaguely remembered that footage when I saw the game, and was hooked. I played br, and when I saw my friend playing STW for the first time, thats when I re discovered it. I realized this was the game I remembered, and from that point all I wanted to do was play. I remember that year, 2018, for my birthday my friend got me an xbox gift card, and i spent it on the second tier of STW. I upgraded to the third, and then to the second highest tier later. That shit was addictive. Then all this happened, but watching this video made me so happy, just hearing the 15 seconds of the main menu them brought me back, almost to tears actually. Thank you.
i was just WAITING for a video like this make more bro😭😭🙏
10/10 video i was entertained the whole way through, i wish epic did follow through with save the world i remember getting it in 2017 for my birthday and i was so hyped . atleast the community is somewhat keeping it alive.
Its so simple grinding game and yet amazing like no other. Shame they stoped new content support. Really love it.
Thank you for covering this! I never seen anybody do such an in-depth video on this!
I look forward to watching more of your content!
No worries glad you enjoyed!
What a great vid 👏 I've been playing stw and br since s1 & right now I play more br because I finished ventures & new horde mode, only thing I do now is v buck collecting or waiting for better superchargers weekly. At the end of the day, if you're a founder, you're good, and if you're not either way, there's ALOT of content for someone. ❤
I never made it too far into STW, but it was clear even early on that it could get sluggish with the lack of diverse content. That being said, I loved playing STW with friends. It's just a shame seeing them in real time pull their resources to shove into the BR mode and focus solely on that, giving up completely on what they made the trailer for the game in the first place.
Also hurts as a fan of FPS's to see them give up on Unreal Tournament, too, seeing that their latest game is stuck in a barely functioning alpha state because they saw how big BR was. Think of it - forsaking the namesake of their technology, the engine that powers their golden cow, for a fad that... unfortunately really worked well. They won the financial game, but did they have to sacrifice everything else just to do it?
BTW, love the editing on this video. Had me rolling at points from the SFX. Also top tier music choices.
Cause they started listen to what the children wanted and now we have the shithole we all know and love called “battle royale”
@@Redblood_669br is amazing but they need to keep going with stw
Focusing on br makes sense for them but keeping stw alive is a good idea too
I feel like the backbone of stw is the really fucking compelling story, voice acting included, and the upgrade/progression system
Thanks for making this video man, I used to play a crap ton of this game with my buddies back in chapter 1, I quit fortnite all around in chapter 2 and didnt stay up to date with what was going on with save the world, now that Fortnite OG brought me back Its both nice to hear about stw and sad to hear about its decline in support. It was sadly expected, but it was still an amazing mode. Great video bro!
Amazing and super well put together video thanks for making this. I quit soon after they announced no story for twine. I just got back into it a few days ago and good to see some people still care about it.
I absolutely love this game. I was actually addicted to playing it for a while. Most games get boring to me really quick, but this was one of the ones that I kept playing. It’s really sad to see how the devs have just left the original for the br, but I guess it was inevitable.
Ive been playing STW since 2018 and im still playing it. I've enjoyed Fortnite over the years but it still sucks that we wont ever see a update to the story anytime soon.
Bro I've never seen such well made videos from such small content creators. Kudos to you!
I bought it like 3 weeks after BR came out but I had watched many TH-camrs vids prior to it's release including the "Before You Buy", I was playing BR so much and was having so much fun that any content would do and back then STW was Fortnite's lore (Season 0). That same day or a couple later I recommended it to all who played FN, it was fun (still is), it had an interesting story & characters, etc, etc aaand you got Vbucks, those who didn't buy it then did it on December 2017 after seeing how I bought the Battlepass & Skins on BR, since then through 2018 we were always talking about when or how STW would go FTP, in 2019 we joked about it at that point, it's tragic since Fortnite got so massive in 2018 if STW had gone FTP, ooh what could've been... now it's sold as bonus in a skin package for BR,
Nice vid and props for the Beast shout-out
This video was awesome and deserves more Attention
Ay thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
As a late alpha player, this game was truly amazing. Even though I did accidentally bring down by entire base one time it was still fun nonetheless. I am happy Fortnite got as big as it did, just wish Epic Games put more effort into this game because it had the potential to be so much more. Glad it has a community, just hard to get into the game now with how Epic Games treats it. Truly a special game (P.S Thank you Darren Sugg for giving me the opportunity to actually try the alpha version of Fortnite STW.)
I came looking for the save the world cutscenes and have now found a funny edit TH-camr…. Subscribed :)
I remember I had bought STW back in Ch1 S7 and i loved it, i did take a bit of a break because i had gotten tired but I came back during Season X and haven't stopped since. I genuinely love STW and its a shame to see the mode be left in the dust. While i love Fortnite and can understand Epic's decision from a business standpoint, I would be lying if I said i never prayed for Epic to just throw STW a Bone.
Anyways. I really enjoyed this video, i actually loved how you the video wasn't centered around hate or anger towards Epic (apart from a few moments but i can understand why) and was just more focused on telling the story of how STW got to where it is right now. You definitely deserve more subs and views.
From a business standpoint, they truly had no reason to continue this game. They’re the publishing moneymakers, and clearly not the passionate ones in the sense of supporting communities. Still, seeing things like this and how other games with strong player bases continue to fall, it’s truly devastating to see what becomes of them all. Another great example is Titanfall 2. Apex had the money, TF2 didn’t, despite a super strong player base.
Amazing video. I still find myself coming back yo StW every once in awhile, unable to put it down, the pace and uniqueness rivaling BR with ease. Plus I always really liked Steel Wool Anthony ❤
They're not passionate? They don't support communities? Fortnite is one of the most cared for live service games that I can think of. They put so much work into it. From trailers to events, season after season of releasing updates, and trying to make the experience as smooth and bug-free as possible. It shows how much effort they put into their delivery instead of just shipping things out and saying fk it we'll fix it later like so many other live service games do. And the way they added Creative 2.0 and constantly updated graphics, the way they even treat each collaboration with so much respect.
.
I typed all that and I haven't even touched on how they constantly highlight creators, how they give them creator locker bundles or even in-game skins and references. Or the way they handle their FNCS scene and trying to do right by it. Or all the way they constantly find to engage with and involve their communities, beyond just giving them a reason to log on and drop in. Saying they're not passionate or they dont support their community is THE STUPIDEST thing I can imagine.
@@ElementalLeafthey like money. If you’ve been apart of the community for a while you know they don’t really care about us. Also why do you think the store is 14 pages long
@@ElementalLeaf They're passionate about money, if BR didn't become one of the most profitable games in all of gaming history they would've already abandoned it and moved onto the next thing like they did with STW... They care about providing a smooth experience cause nobody wants to spend money on a broken game, they update the graphics to try and make the game more appealing and attract more spenders, they treat collabs with respect cause they're epic's biggest sellers, they highlight creators and give them locker bundles because they're popular and they know a lot of players will buy them.
Epic 100% is only in it for the money and to think any of the higherups care about anything else is absurd
Glorious timing, sir spoot just made a community post being sad bout Overwatch 2s pve mode.
I have no other connection to that game, so this was how i got the news.
Yeah I heard about that, pretty sad since PvE was promised years ago
I got stw in a pack in chapter two and I personally loved it so much I really enjoyed the characters and sinked so many hours into it. Sucks it went this way. Wish I joined the community when it was more popular. I like the Val and persona music btw :)great vid❤
I think it’s also shitty that they advertised it that it would release as specific times and kept delaying public free release, and eventually just abandoned the project completely. WHILE STILL SELLING IT FOR THE SAME EXACT PRICE, while they also fully removed vbuck farming and free rewards. Honestly makes no sense and I will always hold a grudge against epic for what they did to this game, it had so much potential and they just left it in the mud to rot, Kinda disgusting honestly.
this video is the perfect information of what STW could've actually been, me as a player in STW, I've been playing it since CH1 S5 and I really hope this video gets out there more so people can see the full potential of STW
weird i staarted playing around that time as well and got to twine after about 2 to 3 months of grinding and was the most fun i had around the time and now i go in and see an amazing game with almost nothing new and no more love from epic
Epic got greedy when they saw the money coming in when they released the battleroyale, they forgot what they were before "A simple developer who wants to create a great survival PVE game to everyone". It is PUBG's fault creating its game using Unreal Engine.
Subscribed, very fun and detailed commentary, with funny editing too!
This video has very good editing, you sir got a new sub!
I still remember the day I preodered this game, played a few days early and loved it. Login every day, do my tasks. But after 3 and a half years later in January 2021 I quit and never looked back. And now I am at peace and happy 😊 (the game never got finished by the way, not in the way I deserved)
I bought the game back in early access and fell in love with the building aspect. I still go back every now and then to look at my home base. Made it look like a well built castle😌
I remember fortnite save the world. I started playing the save the world mode around April 2020, and I spent a few months getting the Carbide Character. Then I spent about 6 months on and off trying to get all of his edit styles maxed out - I managed to do it, but then it didn't really feel like there was much to do after that. I don't know man - it just feels like it was abandoned for a while before it was officially at end of development
I started playing Fortnite around November 2018, and I haven't stopped playing since. I think that they saw potential in Battle Royale and Creative modes, and then decided that they could probably put more work and effort into them, if they stopped focusing on Fortnite Save The World.
Anyway - great video and I enjoyed it :) i am now subscribed before you hit 100k subs
I completely relate to the bugs section of the video. I remember I got stuck on the story mode mission where you needed to play a deliver the bomb mission. For months I couldn’t complete it because the game either wouldn’t allow me to place any tracks or the bomb wouldn’t move. It’s still my least favorite mission type to this day.
I’ve watched this video 3 times because of how good it is. Great job man
Thanks bro!!!
Yah this video deserves more views for sure
I remember seeing the trailer for Save The World in 2017 open world game trailer compilation around March of that year. I thought it looked so cool. The best part was that it would come out 2 days after my birthday so I could get it almost immediately if I wanted. Unfortunately I didn't end up getting it then as it sort of passed under my radar for a little while, but then a few months later BR came out. When I first saw the ad on my Xbox home screen, I thought it was DLC for people that already owned the game. Nope. Got home from school and downloaded it immediately because it was PUBG but FREE. Couldn't pass up on that. Around Halloween was when I finally got STW. Excellent decision (especially in retrospect because free Vbucks). Got repetitive and I never made it past Stonewood. Gradually I'd play a little bit for some Vbucks. Always made sure to at least log in for the daily reward (I'm at around 1500 days logged in). As of now I'm about halfway through Canny Valley and playing nearly every day, only using Vbucks and potential Vbucks as a motivator to keep going and see the end. Can't tell you how many times STW has come in clutch with the Vbuck missions. Almost single-handedly paid for the Leon + Claire bundle. Went from 400 to 1k, bought the battlepass, played more STW and grinded up to the cost of the bundle, bought it, then it finally disappeared from the shop at the next reset.
I'm not trying to whittle STW's value down to free Vbucks, as there's still a load of content to be had. There have been plenty of times when I progress in a mission just to hear the dialogue between Ray and some other character and nearly choke on my drink laughing. I only wish there was more variation in the gameplay itself. That would have saved Save The World for me. I still laugh seeing STW with its consistent 20k players compared to Team Rumble with its 15k peak.
this video quality is so good for the amount of subs you have, it's criminal that you're this underrated
man i love the sound effects you use in this video that i couldnt focus on your explenation XD
my fav parts:
8:21/8:27/8:36
I really liked STW at the time, then I did enjoy the pvp alongside it when it came out. It's a bit sad that the battle royale part gets so much funding and cool items/mechanics/map improvements and they aren't willing to let even 10% of that budget trickle into PVE
Man. This was what got me into PC gaming. I played since 2017. But after they put it in maintenance mode I gave up
ion gon lie you’re so underrated bro, the quality of your videos show how much effort you put into them, def gonna subscribe.
Was dying at the deliver the bomb segment @ 16:48 dude loved the video and massive W for the music taste (a hat in time so true💯)
Glad you enjoyed 🙏 and yeah hat in time music is peak 💯
I Really hope eventually Fortnite realizes how much the community loves this game mode and give the save the world team a lot more love
it makes me sad watching Epic throwing away a game's legacy.
😢I just started playing this mode… and fell in love with it. Devastating to hear this news. If only I could discover this game few years earlier. Low level zone I’m basically solo every mission , can’t get a single person in lobby sometimes . Also this game remind me of red dead redemption, being abandoned and left to rot. I liked that game too.
Send your epic tag here, someone will connect and help you 🥰
maybe we could play if u want
man this was a great video. you’re clearly passionate, it’s all very well put together and the comedy was on point. man I wish save the world made money
Some event in the time line are out of order but awesome video!
I think that the thing that manages to both sadden and surprise me the most about save the world are the concurrent players counter.
Since now stw is basically treated by epic like a random creative map in the select modes menu,you can see the amount of players playing it.The mode has around 18k concurrent players normally,and that is heartbreaking,because there are some creative maps like the pit who get like 30k concurrent players normally.But at the same time,its nice to know that the mode is not completely dead,and there are still people who play it regularly (even tho a good majority of them are probably scammers)
Just stay away from Stonewood and the SSDs where people look like they want to trade. Instant leave from me, not worth trying to finish the mission with people like them.
We don’t know how many of those people are only playing because they get battle pass xp and vbucks from it. There truly aren’t much players who care about the game if those two were taken out.
The game is still really fun and relaxing, but nowhere near as magical as it once was…
the gamemode peaked at 30-50K recently iirc
I wish they jus sold save the world to a company that will actually work on it cuz i miss this game but there’s jus nothing to do anymore without updates
It has so much potential, but Epic is money hungry over BR and its microtransactions.
Very good editing man!
dayum that music at the end brought back so many memories especially since i dont play stw anymore
The fight against corporate greed is not over yet. #SaveSaveTheWorld
Even after I got bored of Fortnite and stopped playing, I was always interested in the save the world mode, always was looking forward to the price going down to like $5 or free but it never happened. Shame because it looks fun.
Nah get the fuck out of here
"there is this game I would enjoy playing but anything over 5$ is too expensive"
It’s 10 bucks tho
sfv, skullgirls, and persona music 👀
i remember playing this game on the original xbox one, it was not fun to say the least... the performance issues and crashing were exponentially worse. stw could've been something great, but as you said, epic is a business; their priority is profit. solid vid bro
Awesome video! I bought StW basic Founder's pack in season 7. I've basically only seen it going downhill since then, but I still play it on some days and still think it's neat. Also I think it's a little funny that a similiar thing might happen to BR in Chapter 5 if Epic doesn't change lol
Save the world is the building blocks of BR, they can never take that away, also they gave us Penny
save the world getting the destiny 2 and overwatch 2 treatment
this editing is so good lmfao, nice video man
I played BR originally in Seasoms 2-4, but Save the world caught my eye and I fell in love and played it for the next year of my life, only stopping because it ran so poorly on PS4 and I had found new enjoyment in BR. When I had heard they were ending save the world, I was heartbroken. This is one of very few games that has truly made me grind and enjoy it, and it will forever hold a special place in my heart. David Dean, Demonjoefrance, and Isherwood still the kings
My favorite part is how they waited til like around the end of Chapter 3 to add crouching to Save the World
Its so unique and special, i bet if it was made by anyone else it wouldn't have gotten canceled
17:18 Hey, that's me! I sent that to the STW subreddit at some point because I was sick of seeing the autumn biome breaking itself for the dozenth time. You can just barely see the atlas peeking through the solid terrain.
Also you can see my pretty cool outfit, hehe.
I love how you used the badge seller ost from A Hat In Time in the vid. Good taste
Dev: "Check out these tower-building mechanics I made"
Director: "Wow, crafting these grand beautiful bases would be right at home in a survival zombie game"
CEO: "....I have a better idea."
In Epic's defense, this is just a semi-multiplayer campaign mode at the end of the day. I do wish they finished Twine though.
bruh This Was supose to be Fortnite, the Br was a sideMode but by luck of the genre it became This huge thing...
@@Alextl-cm4vu 🙄
@@arandominternetuser9099hes right tho.
@@TermIANator no.
I agree I always wanted to get save the world but my parents wouldn’t let me buy it now I eventually got to buying it and realize it’s not a bad game, I really wish they still updated it then I would play it more but we won’t be seeing that for a while… anyways underrated and great video! ❤
Nice video man, really well put together and thought out 👍
Appreciate it bro! 🙏
@@godlyOrojin well you know, gotta give credit where it's due, and this video certainly deserves good credit :))
Unreal engine 3 is so much better for fortnite in my opinion everything looked so much better back then
Save the world is the only part of Fortnite I like
I love it man. You definitely deserve the views this video guy good job and I can see the effort you put in.
Great video my guy. I personally followed Epic Games over a long time and its good that u bring Paragon into this theme. Me personally: Im done with Epic Games. I was a huge fan of Paragon and of Save the world and i am just sad that they are gone. I thank u personally for this video. I can relate in alot of points and u gotta keep up the great work!
#SaveSaveTheWorld
Great video. Very informative and good pacing. It's a shame with all that $ they can't focus a little at this mode. Even get some indie remote devs or something.
Didn’t expect to see me on the video LOL. 0:52, ahhh good times, I quit Fortnite a while back and hope they give me a reason to play it again
I remember my dad buying me the founders edition as soon as the game came out because I was so hyped about it. Back in middle school me and my friend would talk about our accomplishments we made in the game and would help each other defend our own bases. Then the battle royale mode came and at first I thought it was really cool and fun but then I noticed that less and less attention was being given to the main game. Now I'm in college and it's sad to see what such a great story game concept has become.
This video is well put together. I wish epic would update the game more, fix the bugs, but that happens like 1 or 2 times every year or 2 years. I’m glad someone talked about this. I sub to u my guy
Thanks bro!!
@@godlyOrojin No problem. I love fortnite stw
I'm glad you mentioned it! Fortnite's theme and aesthetic DEFINITELY draws immensely from Sunset Overdrive. I wish that game got more recognition when it comes to its influence! Maybe things would be different if they had a battle royale mode too 😭🔫
A very good video on a very interesting topic. Really nice work here 👍
Still have the nocturne schematic for this, really enjoyed it about 5 yrs ago, crazy how this much time has passed. Logged in a fee months to go just to see it was almost the same as I left it 3 years ago, aside from power levels being about to go past 130.
