People literally spam walls. It drags the pace of the game down to a halt. There's a reason PUBG has pro teams and tournaments and fortnite doesn't.

Yeah they spam walls but it's really not as devastating to the pace of the game as you're making it out to be. Half the time people are building off each other anyway and it's a crazy struggle to get the height advantage and out-juke your opponent. Fortnite is on its way to the competitive scene, they've already included custom matchmaking keys for such events. It'll be the next League of Legends. Being played competitive doesn't mean your game is competitive, either.

Y can however hide behind a tree, rock, or crouch in some defilade and gain an unfair advantage.

Yeah, fair enough. Don't think it's that big of a deal, though.

That's all I see when I watched gameplay of fortnite.

Who have you watched play?

I think you're biased because you aren't good at PUBG. One of the main complaints people who prefer fortnite make is that you spend 20 minutes looting then die in a second in pubg. That's not really the game's fault, it's yours.

If you remember when I first started playing Fortnite I thought PUBG was better. I was actually a lot better at PUBG at that point. The building meta was really hard to get into.

Eventually though I got better at Fortnite and over time noticed cool things that make the game more fun: jump height, multiple weapons, COOL weapons that are more fun than realistic, hectic team building, verticality, etc. It's a game that's okay with being a game and not sticking to the limitations of reality at the expense of fun. PUBG is a fine game I just don't think the whole realistic shtick it has going on is all that much fun. Even if it lends itself to a more hardcore competitive gaming crowd, I still don't think that makes it the better game. Fortnite has changed more in the one month I've been playing it than PUBG has in the near year I've owned it.

You mean how the game will cycle through the default skins? You'd like to choose between the default ones available?

yeah

i would also enjoy having the option to mute all mics by default, because what i have to do now is set up a private party chat with myself just to drown out the noise when it ought to just be an option in the game

but yeah otherwise i'd agree

yeah i'd like to have a default skin option, or even let me buy them for 150 vbucks or whatever. some of them aren't bad.

you could also just turn down voice chat sound to 0 in the options menu

>not communicating with your teammates

Truly a competitive experience

>teamwork = competition = better game

fortnite is more competitive because there are more elements to master within the game.

I can't believe this game is early access. It feels complete.

i could use an avatar selector

i understand why the shop items are so expensive, but if i could just have that one thing, that would be pretty nice

You mean how the game will cycle through the default skins? You'd like to choose between the default ones available?

this game is free right

i might download it

Yup

The “Infinity Gauntlet Limited Time Mashup” mode for Battle Royale will feel just like a standard slugfest — with one major difference: One hundred players will descend upon the map and fight until one player is left standing, as usual, but this time you’ll do so with the Infinity Gauntlet in play.

The artifact containing all six Infinity Stones — the same one Thanos used to cripple Earth’s Mightiest Heroes on the big screen — will appear on the map. Whomsoever finds and equips it will transform into Thanos himself, wielding all the power that comes with him.

Man, I love these devs. They just don't give a fuck about the "rules."

What's wrong

Sep7agon is better than The Flood ever was

I used to get hit when I was younger but my parents just kicked me out when I'd act up in my teens.

LMAO

Mark Ruffalo is so fucking stupid holy shit

...un fucking believable

it was stupid enough when he said "like every other marvel movie it doesn't end well" and i thought that was gonna be the end of the video

how any one of us avoided seeing that for the year long this has been uploaded is pretty incredible though--good guy youtube algorithm?

no lots of people saw it but i think people in general are just getting more sensitive about spoilers so theyre just not perpetuating them anymore

a lot of people are starting to abstain from trailers and interviews and muting key words on social media

My buddy brought up a pretty good point, how Thanos was inconsistent with his previous appearances. I wouldn't say he lacked intimidation or anything, but in GoTG he's far more menacing than in this film. And he found it hard to believe that a dude who wears golden armour and sits on a gigantic floating throne most of the time would be happy sitting in a shack after his goals were accomplished.

He definitely wasn't portrayed as the evil guy he should be, and that takes away from his character quite a bit IMO.

Lol. PUBG was a huge waste of money. It's not even a finished product yet it still has that $80 price tag. And since when does being disatisfied with a product you spent money on make you either a little bitch or a retarded worker? Obviously money means a lot more to me than it does to you, and I'm not about to apologise for that.

I'm not even that dissatisfied with PUBG, I just think Fortnite is a much better game and the fact that I didn't have to pay for it when I forked over $80 to play PUBG is pretty funny.

idk why you think you're some L-tier psychoanalyser but you need to cut that shit out.

Fortnite is a very goofy and luck based game and is far more casual than pubg. I'm not really knocking the game entirely or anyone who plays it but it should be recognized for what it is. If people have fun playing it, awesome. That's all that really matters.

As for it not being a finished product, what exactly do you mean? Bluehole tweaking balance and adding content doesn't mean it's an unfinished game. The servers have been pretty stable for several months.

Also $80? What the heck

The building aspect is what makes it competitive, as well as the cool little video gamey things like Port a Forts and jump pads.

PUBG doesn't really feel finished to me. In Fortnite you have this robust leveling system that lets you acquire gear regularly, customise your character whenever you want, provides challenges to fascilate level progression, and a nice little store to buy things in. It's much more cohesive and professional than PUBG, despite being free and in early access. Additionally the whole game works on seasons, wherein every week there are new game modes and challenges to complete that open up the door to cosmetic unlocks. Map changes come every season and every season has a theme. Last month was space exploration, this month is superheroes. It feels like a video game with some soul behind it. The gameplay is a lot less realistic and goofy I guess but it feels like it exists to be fun, not to be realistic, and that's what makes it feel fresh and creative. For example, the new season just started today. Last season there was a comet that got closer to the map every day , it crashed down today, destroying a location on the map and damaging some other locations. anywhere a crater appears are these pieces of comet that, when consumed, let you jump around like the incredible hulk. It's a blast and something you'd never see in PUBg.

 I dont understand why it matters if kids play it, as far as i can see, if i can enjoy myself at the same time playing something with my niece and nephew, thats a win.

PUBG was $80 canadian when I bought it.

just play fortnite its better

Not even the biggest PUBG shill but Fortnite is absolute trash
The only reason it's more popular is because it's free and marketed to normalfags

Fortnite is a more competitive, more creative and better designed game than PUBG ever was. It being free and marketable to everyone is part of what makes it the better game.

I don't understand how the ending was "gutsy."

you're pretty much alone on that

not at all

we all knew going into the film it would end on a dark note, as all 2 part stories do

my expectations were fulfilled

in a franchise where only one who-gives-a-fuck character died in almost twenty movies, killing just one major character would've been a dark note to end on by that standard

they went further than could be reasonably expected

expecting more than one or maybe two characters to die wouldn't be reasonable, let alone having the big bad win in the end

an empire strikes back style ending where the main characters are at their lowest point, but the war isn't necessarily lost, is the only reasonable expectation BASED on how the movies have conditioned us so far

sure you can talk about how obvious it is that it'll be reverted in the next movie but that doesn't actually have any bearing on the movie that currently exists right now on may 1st 2018

i just don't agree. it would be an entirely different story if this film didn't establish that you can bring people back to life, but it did, and that removes any impact the direction could have had. there was no guarantee that Luke would win in Ep 6 based on Ep 5, but there is with IW, because despite Peter Quill and Peter Parker dying, GOTG3 and SM2 already in pre-production.

you can say you wish to experience each film in a vacuum, which is fine, but that's not the intention of the creators and expecting others to see it that way is silly.
