Yes I still play Fortnite! lol Saying this more to the gamers who read this because they know all know about Fortnite I’m sure, I bet some of the people reading this used to play Fortnite who now play other poplar titles like Apex Legends, Black Ops 4 or reverted to their old loves like CSGO, PUBG or something else. Fortnite for those who don’t know what Fortnite is, it’s a 3rd person shooting battle royale game. Battle Royale games are when usually 100 people drop from the sky onto the map where they find loot (guns, ammo, ect) and duke it out till there is only 1 person left standing! The Battle Royale genre got really popular over the last year and half in the gaming scene and I don’t see it going anywhere for a long time. What makes Fortnite different then other games is the Building aspect of the game. In Fortnite you start off with a pickaxe that is used to gather materials. By breaking down a tree, a brick or metal wall with your pickaxe, you collect wood, brick and metal that you can then use to build walls, floors, roofs and ramps. This kind of in game placement of new landscape and buildings at the fingertips of the player has never been see before in any other game. You build to protect yourself, to get on top things and help win in gun fights. In Fortnite, you usually get into a build battle where people try to get the high ground and shoot downward at you. You’re ability to build in this game really makes or breaks how good you are at it. Building adds a strategic element to game that other games don’t have, and to me, simply makes the game fun!

One thing Fortnite has that other games don’t, is a dedicated community. Most of the pros live stream their games to Twitch, where people like me watch to learn new strategies and skills and also for entertainment. Some of these guys are pretty funny and it becomes more like you’re following their personality like an actor or artist then just watching someone play a video game. Watching all these streamers play together and play in tournaments is like watching play off basketball or something, it just gets HYPE sometimes! For anyone that likes shooting games and hasn’t played Fortnite I would recommended it, its a fun interactive battle royale shooter that just might get you addicted like me! And if you ever want to check out some streamers just to see what the gameplay is like, some of my favorites are Dakotaz, Tfue and Ninja just to name a few!

Hope you liked my first post and hope we can game together in the future, see you in cyber space !
