Fortnite is one of those games where you can clearly see its potential for greatness, but for reasons we’ll likely never know, it hasn’t been able to really find its footing in development. The core gameplay is really fun, but the game struggles from identity issues, resulting in a muddled overall experience. Unfortunately, the latest announcement from Epic Games truly crystalizes that lack of focus.

    It felt like a kick in the nuts.

    Sure a different team worked on BR, but the core game still needs a lot of lovin!
    A simple example: afk-ers, griefers and chat ragers have been roaming free since the start. Now they want to hammer down on all who break the BR code. Why haven't we seen this hammer in action in the core game?

    "The game has potential", just another way to say "This game is just not worth my time in it's current state".
    Adding a PvP BR to a pure PvE game like Fortnite will at best end the same way as H1Z1 did. The BR part might be somehow successful and get further development. The PvE side dies. The BR side will die as soon as the BR crowd moves on to the next hyped BR game, or earlier in case it isn't successful at all.
    To me the PvE part just looked overloaded with micro transactions, chests and what not everywhere and right into your face. To much attention seeking stuff going on there. And the actual gameplay itself was very repetitive.

    lack of focus, really their main focus is to force players to *cough* out their wallets and pay for their RNG aka llamas..., they'll sell their soul to the devil to make that come dream, besides that they are clueless on how to make more money, therefore jumping on the FOTM bandwagon is a sure way to make that dream come true!!!!

    The PvP mode is raw.

    I think it needs more focus, things to be added like Squads, a much better integration with the building and trap mechanics under the PvP nature should improve how it flows.

    I purchased this game with 3 of my friends about a month ago and I am the only one still playing it.  If they make some big changes, it could be an awesome game but right now the heroes, weapons and gear(survivors) are totally RNG-based and come from what is basically a lootbox.

    The game reminds me of Battleborn. Potentially awesome but way too cluttered. 

    There is NO miracle patch.

    95% of what you see in beta won't change by launch.

    Hope is not a stategy.

    If Epic manages to make a fun, polished game with plenty of things to do then i could see myself playing this game. I'm not big into Battle Royale but i definitely prefer these artistic direction over the realistic ARMA or PUBG. Plus its easier to optimize and get higher FPS while still looking great.

    Fortnite's development path seems pretty straight forward to me.

    Milk the EA customer base for as much as it can, wait till income from llamas has dried up, then switch the pay to progress from llamas over to pay for customization and declare loudly you've listened to your customers complaints and given them what they want.

    Wife and I just had a 2 week staycation. We played SO much Fortnite and loved every minute of it. No interest in the Battle Royale mode though.
