Does anyone else find Fortnite to be trash just because of the whole building mechanic?

[Rim Carrey]

Like I understand it's what "makes it different from other Battle Royale games", but...there's surely something better that can be done than building. I like my shooting games to be gun on gun, you're done, and in Fortnite, the whole building mechanic just ♥♥♥♥♥ on it all. It's not about gun skill, it's mostly about who can build the quickest and most efficiently to get an unfair advantage (either by height or head glitching). It just pisses me off when someone comes from out of no where just because they built their way to me, instead of having to actually traverse around things without being seen or heard, and getting an actual proper and fair flank on me and then whoever has the most skill with aiming and shooting wins.

The early game is fun, not many people have the materials to build, and it relies heavily on who can shoot the guns better and land their shots. By mid-game...it went to ♥♥♥♥, and late game is just a camping head glitch snooze fest inside your stupid ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ base.

Also don't even get me started on the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of shooting someone or at someone and then they just instantly build cover. Like no, you got caught out in the open because you're being wreckless and stupid, take your damn death and go.

Truthfully, Fortnite BR is my least favorite BR game of all the ones I've played.

In rankings it'd go like this.

1. PUBG
2. The Culling (really early development Culling, y'know, when it was still great.)
3. H1Z1.
4. Fortnite BR

I know I'm in the great minority when it comes to this, and I'm sure fanboys will attack me for having my opinion, but in my honest opinion, Fortnite is absolute trash just because of being able to build.

I'll admit that it's original, but I'm sure there's better original things that can be done besides the whole building thing.

The building system is infact what makes Fortnite better than any other BR games

It just adds more ways for you to play

I disagree that it adds more ways to play. I think it does the opposite, in fact. It limits the ways you can play to just combat building (which is think is a dumb mechanic personally).

Either you're building an entire condominium because one stray bullet passed you, or you're trying to become a demolitions expert to figure out how to best topple said condo.

personally i would like to see the building slowed down. having buyilding is cool but in a game where the bullet grouping is already crap and the shotguns are already OP the building mechanic is a little too fast. yeah i get its a game but if you get caught in the open instead of using your terrain effectively then you should be punished for it and not just build the great wall of china in 5 seconds now making a build pattern where you cannot start a second piece till the first is finished means you have to plan your structures and where you make em. the building as it is just means you dont need as much map awareness the only reflex you really need is build a mansion if someone is good enough to catch you tactfully out in the open.

I'm just not interested because I've had my fill of competitive shooters while growing up.

Up to season 4 I had a combined winrate of 45-50% at the end, season 4 only (atleast early on) I maintained it at 75-80% and I didn't build much, because it wasn't the only necessary feature and I completely agree here.

Back then they had two different prototypes going on: faster building and actual skill-based shooting. Unfortunately this is what you get nowadays, the skill-based shooting didn't make it. No turbo building and this thing instead and I would have never quit Fortnite years ago.

Well, it's alright to play games meant for a younger audience, there's nothing wrong with that at all, I still think Splatoon is a great game, etc. The problem is that the game's not fun anymore, the building aspect is completely ruined by macro users, the gunplay was ruined by the developers making poor and uncalculated attempts to keep the game fresh, and the last time I played the game, it didn't even have half the features I played it for in the first place, mostly a variety of modes, weapons, and vehicles.

The worst think they did is adding turbo building

[Sharkster_00]

No but I quit that game 2 years ago cause it affected my mental health badly on the battle royale mode what sucks is I keep having dreams of coming back to Save The World and 100% it which I do wanna do. But because they made it where battle royale skins can be used in that mode it’s gonna give me bad memories and thoughts of battle royale.

[Rim Carrey]

Wild this thread keeps coming back lmao.

Well, since it's still here. I avoid build mode, but the no build mode is hella tight. Funnily enough because of no build mode, I think Fortnite is the best BR we got out now lmao.

Just to think gen 8 Pokémon did not exist when this was made...

Oh well, building was cool

Can tell you were an OG player and 100% agree.

I remember when they had two prototypes and one was focussing on building and one on shooting, the former has been introduced and the latter was actually eSport-worthy.

Im just here to necro this thread one last time.
Also i think build mode could have just been fixed with tweaks to slow it down. This way you could keep the unique aspect of it without 5s Taj Mahals

Fortnite isn't trash because of that, Fortnite is trash because is trash on so many levels.

This thread was quite old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
