Bizitch please.
Fortnite was developed over 6 years odd to be a grindy, loot box ridden game as service. Game design that has derived from mobile phone games for christ's sake. And it wasn't particularly well received by the community who soon saw it for what it is. The base game of Fortnite is a horrific abomination that has been developed as a GAAS to feed gambling addictions. If you champion this game then you are either ignorant or have no morals.
PUB...
Woohoooo!!
Good game, not as good as FC2 though IMO.
Shit ending - I'm gonna murder my friends who I've just been through hell and back to save so I join your shitty generic tribe who aren't much better than the guys I've been killing for hours? Yeah no darling, have a bullet to the face for even suggesting such a stupid idea.
A silly thing to say, the beta was great fun, but not every gamer's going to enjoy it.
You played The Order 1886 for 16 hours? How?
Did you complete it like 5 times or something? :D

lol, yeah I'm pissed off.
I'm in my late 30's, been gaming since the mid 80's, been following the games media since then first in magazines now the internet. And oh my god standards have slipped, sorry, fallen off a skyscraper and landed face first on the pavement.
I just want good gaming journalism back rather than this console war bullshit, comparing versions of games etc it just so shallow, meaningless, dumb and pe...
You can't praise an XB1 game if you're in the games media, you might lose viewers, get threats etc.
Seriously this is a real problem, the Youtuber Dreamcast guy did an experiment where he defended and praised the XB1 in a video then released a follow up video on the reactions and comments he received.
He lost thousands of subscribers from that initial video and was inundated with comments on that vid plus social media telling him he was wrong and that the XB1 was c...
True, not as aggressive against the competition but equally if not more protective over their brand than PS fanboys.
Fanboys mind, not fans, I'm a Playstation fan, been gaming on PS since 1997, my PS4 sits nicely next to my XB1 under the TV.
This is such a well designed game.
The gameplay mechanics are great, really immersive and it makes you engage your brain, this game does not hold your hand one bit and it's all the better for it.
The game has -
No mess filling up the hud, no indicator to tell you from which direction you're being shot from, no marker telling you where to go etc.
No tagging enemies and seeing them through walls bull shit.
No grindy progression syst...
Well what great game does it need oh wise one from .... who?.... hd-report? ... never heard of them.
Yeah, the Scalebound beta was great !
- rolls eyes -
lol, it's nothing like NMS, that's one of the laziest comparison I've ever heard of.
The current narrative seems to be -
"Xbox needs games !!!"
- "well this year there's Sea Of Thieves, State of Decay 2, Crackdown 3, Ashen, Ori 2, Forza Horizon 4 and probably more that have yet to be announced, plus all the third party game"
"What, sorry I didn't take that in because I'm a raging Sony fanboy, XBOX NEEDS GAMES !!!!"
Wow, seems like game journalists enjoyed the beta but are finding silly reasons to nitpick it apart.
Guess they can't be too positive towards an XB1 game for fear of losing readers, getting hate, threats and DDOS attacks etc from the raging Sony and Nintendo fanboys that are steering the narrative this generation.
Polygon's article was hilariously bad too, complaining of motion sickness, what a wimp, and that there was no third person view or reticle in t...
Breakdown
What like Sea of Thieves, SoD2, Crackdown 3, FH4, Ashen, Ori 2 and whatever hasn't been announced yet ?
Plus all the third party games.
nope, the lead designer is Gregg Mayles, been with Rare since 1989.

And Yooka Laylee was rubbish.
£420 console vs £1300+ gaming PC capable of doing 4K 60fps), you get what you pay for.
They're both "awful".
This is a relatively small development team (less than 100 people) for such an ambitious project, they probably don't have the resources to get more out of the X and Pro.
Probably the next game I'm going to buy.
Still playing Cities Skylines, Gran Turismo Sport and PUBG, with Persona 5 to start when I find the time.
PUBG: designed by a team of less than 100 people to be a fun multiplayer battle royale experience.
Fortnite: designed by a huge company over many years as a games as a service, following monetization trends from the moblie gaming market and free to play games and incorporating them as the game is developed to maximise microtransaction purchases upon release. Base game released to a mild to poor reception, grindy pointless gameplay designed to have you buying loot boxes. A game that...
