Fortnite BR

[RobYob]

I'm giving it another go having found a few people at work to team up with.

The new squads in BR mode seem a touch unfair (yes teamwork is ducking OP)

My nephew is all over it and keeps trying to get me to buy an XBox to play it. Balls to that.

I did try it on PC, but it's not my bag...bring back Counter Strike 1.3.

This is all the rage amongst primary school kids, which disturbed me somewhat when I downloaded it to see what it was all about. Don't people parent their children anymore?

Neither of mine are allowed anywhere near it, or Roblox.

How old are your kids Tim?

Good for you. It has a PEGI rating of 12, yet you often hear of kids younger than that on it, with personality changing consequences.

7 and 9.

I’ve played it a bit and I can see the attraction to be honest, for grown ups who can separate the reality. But 9 year olds don’t need to be playing games whose sole aim is to kill as many people as possible.

They can stick to minecraft.

I don’t allow them on social media either. Fun dad!

The original idea of a battle royal game came from the Minecraft PvP servers so better watch what they play on that.

I think Fortnight and PUBG are a pile of crap anyway.

Thread necro, anyone tried Chapter 2?

I think it's become substantially easier, whether it's the new map, the bots, the matchmaker or some hitherforeunto unknown "skills" I won three solo games over the weekend.

That's after giving up on chapter 1 as I was never even getting close to a win.

They're now better at matching you with other players who are similarly shit, it seems.

Hmm, might give it another go. My youngest ( 16 ) is properly hooked on it. I've played it a few times but was so useless I soon gave up
