I might be getting old. I hate Fornite as well. I tried it out, played a couple of hours, and my impression was "meh". It feels like a bunch of ripped off ideas from other games that do them better. And there's a problem with media that has mass appeal - it's the same with art or music. The more accessible the product, the more bland it's going to be. There really is nothing surprising in Fortnite.

It's because Fortnite is a soulless ripoff of GTA V and it has zero substance. The game is an empty void sprinkled with idiot celebrities who aren't discerning enough to understand that it's garbage. Fortnite at it's core is a game without a narrative, nothing subversive, no controversial elements, no meaning.

  > soulless ripoff of GTA V What? It started a base building tower defense. I'm not a fan but this is way off, it's not like GTA in any way. And you don't need story to have great gameplay. If you shoehorned a story into something like Rocket League it would actually be hilarious.

  > It's because Fortnite is a soulless ripoff of GTA V and it has zero substance. I can't imagine how you'd come to that conclusion unless you think GTAV invented "multiplayer on a big map."

You missed out on the best part of Fortnite, the building. It's an incredibly unique, strategic, and skillful mechanic. No other competitive game has anything that is similar at all. I think they kind of came into it by accident but it's really quite incredible once you learn how the game works for high tier players.
