edited because its no longer a leak
“Following The Big Bang Event, Chapter 5: Underground introduces some huge changes to Fortnite’s battle royale, adding boss battles, Lego, Solid Snake, and a brand-new island”
Leaks? My brother in christ they are in the trailer, they’re coming to the BP.
Leak is clickbait terminology
Just how game companies “leak” their upcoming games, but it was an official statement by a paid spokesperson
A leak is something that isnt supposed to happen. That’s dumb as hell. 🙈
or sometimes it can be a pure accident and its pretty hilarious how some games get leaked sometimes
anyone remember how the last of us part two remastered was leaked?
Wait they remastered that game already? Didn’t it just fucking come out like a few years ago?
ikr, I hate how they’re using this such talented team of devs for just remasters because of the new TV Show or whatever
whoops, I posted this the same day the trailer came out and they didn’t hit my feed yet
I wish I could completely filter fortnite out of my life.
I never really saw the appeal, but my friends keep wanting to play it. There is so much waiting. I’m just bored most of the time.
This is why I have decided to only play my retro backlog and just the absolute masterpiece single player modern experiences for the rest of my life.
Live service games do not interest me at all
a bunch of my retro gaming friends talked me into it awhile back and now I got a CRT hooked up to a mini PC with n64 controllers, I definitely see the appeal
I don’t understand the fascination. From what my son once told me, everyone has the same advantage, you’re just paying for looks and individuality. I see that as a waste of money. Paying out for licensed characters is just a way to keep that going.
The only part I found interesting was when it shut down for a few days to have that major upgrade. All that was left was the black hole. That was quite fun watching everyone react.
I think you’re being disingenuous, you perfectly understand this phenomenon but it doesn’t appeal to you. Paying for pixels will always be dumb anyway.
Like shelling out for a pre order because you get an exclusive in game hat. 😁
At the end of the day it’s the same as something like FunkoPop, you are paying for a digital or physical piece of nostalgia. Neither are for me, but it is what it is
Do you wear jewelry? Do you have a nice watch that tells time just as well as a casio? Does your car feature upgraded wheels or upcharged paint? Have you paid more for fancy curtains when basic ones do the same job? Have you repainted a room just because you wanted a different color? Art, collectibles, novelties? Video game cosmetics are valuable to anyone who wants to express themselves the same as any other real life cosmetic. It can be especially important to young people who don’t have other avenues.
That being said, fortnite is predatory as fuck and is one of the worst offenders for addictive design, FOMO engineering, and maximizing DLC purchases. It’s what the annual sports games wish they could do. It’s what CoD started to do. It’s fueled by social media and by glimpses of random players in each match with the latest skins.
I remember when it was a wave defence game. It was a good game I wish they’d make that as well
it still is, fortnite save the world is paid and battle royale was just a free side game or spinoff or whatever
This is bigger than when they added Mario to Smash
