  • The Biggest Mistake Fortnite Ever Made
    Fortnite has made a lot of questionable decisions over the last few months, but their biggest mistake in my opinion is what they did to their storyline. Making Fortnite collabs a higher priority than original characters was definitely a step in the wrong direction; but why? That's what we're going to uncover today!

    Optimus teaching Slone to be a better person sound SO AMAZING, and it makes me wish it happened. Imagine Zuko interacting with Foundation or Superman talking to Jonsey and actually having an impact on the story or the characters.

      Absolutely! Optimus is my most favorite character! I wish we still had story! The fortnite characters interacting with all those more famous characters in the comics was brilliant and so cool to see! And i felt Donald mustard felt that too! Wish they were incorporated into the fortnite story more, or at least we still had a story progression. It was getting super interesting with the aliens and cube queen and stuff going on with slone and the 7 several years back.😅😎👍🏻

      I wanted a Slone redemption arc so bad. And now idk if it’ll happen. Hopefully they’ll embrace the storyline of Jones trying to find Slone. Maybe she’s been captured by the Last Reality or something. Perfect excuse to bring her back.

    • @SandwitchZebra
      @SandwitchZebra 7 дней назад +2

      Optimus is the perfect person to help her. Slone sees the Loopers as expendable because there are infinite realities, infinite versions of them. They don’t matter to her.
      But Optimus is one of the most compassionate individuals out there. He sees the value in all sentient life, no matter how insignificant. Him showing her that in just a mini comic or something would be an incredible use of the character for story purposes.

      Although yes, just saving Peely throughout an entire season storyline is kind of stupid. It seems like they might be setting up for more, in one of the storyline quest this season. The Oracle says that peely is some kind of being holding all of reality together so they might be setting up for more, but if it was that Peely being kidnapped should’ve been the subplot not the main plot.

      I doubt it since comics are made way in advance compared to release. That's likely due to the fact that the comics have to be drawn, coloured, the text has to be added in, and then the comic has to be mass produced for release. I imagine Donald Mustard wrote those lines somewhere between late 2020 to early 2021, so before he decided to leave due to Epic's focus on the metaverse.

  • @babyburch33
    @babyburch33 24 дня назад +29

    I don’t mind collaborations but when it’s too much, it becomes overkill to the point where it completely overshadows what Fortnite’s original story is trying to tell.
    This is why I never find the game to be as engaging as it use to be anymore and I knew that they would’ve went down this horrible road since the earlier seasons of Chapter 2 when collabs started to be introduced into their BPs as the secret skins.

  • @Immortal_Ninja
    @Immortal_Ninja 22 дня назад +18

    The story was what got hooked me on Fortnite in the first place and it's disappointing to see how it's been slowly phased out ever since the Collision event. In current day, each season has it's own self contained story that is loosely connected to the prior. I was so passionate about all the interesting characters and world building over the past 5 years and to have that taken away just makes me feel sad.

    • @TheGiraffe-ih2on
      @TheGiraffe-ih2on 6 часов назад

      I feel you bro. I started playing in Ch2 S2, the best season to date, in my opinion. And I followed the storyline from day one. I can’t tell you how excited I was during the Zero Crisis event, seeing jones, the foundation, and all that. When chapter 3 started, specifically season 2, I got really high hopes for the story. Slone was back, the foundation was alive, and the rest of the Seven were all present. It seemed like everything in the chapter would build to one final confrontation between the Seven and the IO, but it didn’t. Vibin was a fun season, but it wasn’t a fun FORTNITE season, it fits more in Apex or COD. Then Paradise completely shut down any excitement I had. I got so invested that I actually started writing a book of the storyline, starting in season 5. And now it just seems like when Donald left, Fortnite lost the spark that it had for so many years (no transformers pun intended.) Interested to see what they do, but nowadays I’m more interested in the gameplay, which is not what I ever thought I would say about Fortnite.

    • @TheGiraffe-ih2on
      @TheGiraffe-ih2on 6 часов назад

      And part of that intrigue was “who is this Midas guy? Why did he try and break the loop? Is the loop a bad thing? Why did someone JUST NOW try to break the loop? Why was he stopped.” And that was what made me follow the story so carefully. When season 4 started, I got so excited because it was marvel, but also because I could still see the story from season 2 carrying over. And what happened when season 4 ended? It went right back to the story. Jones is my favorite Fortnite character, and my second favorite skin (first is midas, obviously) and it was so cool seeing him slowly realize what the Order was up to. And I remembered something Clark forgot to mention in the video as to how they flushed out characters…REALITY LOGS. Those were my favorite things to listen to during the season, and we haven’t really gotten anything like them. There is still a chance to bring back the old story, but honestly, with Festival, Rocket Racing, and Lego Fortnite here now, I just can’t see it thriving. Hopefully Wen can find a way to integrate the old story.

      @@jibaZoomi what makes you think i didn't do that? because i did. as a matter of fact, im almost done with the story line missions. besides there was a difference with the story in chapter 1 season 4 when it came to story telling. sure the quest themselfs didn't corilate with the story what so ever, but what you got from completing every week did. aka the loading screans. they were the main indicator that was telling us what was going on in the game. not only that, but they also did small map changes that showed what was going on in the actual game, showing its going on in actual time.
      sure the midas stuff was mostly a side story, but its still was something that impacted the main game as a whole. sure we got a mini event at the beginning of the season, that was cool. but did we get anything bigger or more grand then that, no. and from what there setting up now, is kinda underwelming. i wish this season did something better then just storyline quests and one mini event considering how big the greek gods are in the fortnite world. like every fortnite island is litterly named after the greek gods. i wish to see the island change depending on whats going on within the story itself rather than it just being explained through dialog.
      the best thing that the storyline does is that it changes the game baced on whats going on within the story itself. that's why fortnitemares use to be so good besides the last one. im more critical here because ive seen them do better then just simple challenges. the storyline quest can be good if it was just mix some of the stuff that was going on in the story into the main gameplay except for just killing bosses or giving a tenice ball to cerberous

    I agree. Also with Transformers with good story telling, Beast Machines and Energon raise their hands. I remember buzz about Fortnite and the comet, long before I even played. The black hole also got attention in the news. What other game has had that happen?! I knew then there was something of a story; however back then I thought of it as a kid's game. Then I first played it in Chapter 2 Season 3 and I had no idea why everything was water. I thought the game was supposed to be like that. I watched my friend's kid play when I babysat and played a handful of games with him in Chapter 2 seasons 4 and 5 but I didn't pay attention to the story, but I was wowed by all the Marvel characters and Predator. Like what is this game?
    I attempted to play on my own one day, saying I'll try to get into it and was wowed by Zero Crisis; however, I kick myself for not playing beyond that session because I bought the battle pass thinking I was only getting Agent Jones (my very first skin because I recognized him as the main character from a Fortnite vs TF2 video). I barely got much of that battle pass and if Epic ever decided to let people finish battle passes, I hope I get the chance. But Chapter 2 Season 7, I was hooked and I started to learn about the story more by watching RUclips videos... and I completed that battle pass 99% not unlocking like 3 Kymera styles. Loved Operation: Skyfire and the Chapter 2 finale got me hyped to see what's next. I loved the Resistance season as a whole and the Vibin' season, from Rave Cave, Evie, the music packs, the Steady emote... but season 4 seemed to go astray especially with Fracture not making sense to me. Then Amie's story was just left there. Ok maybe they'll come back to her and the Seven... Is the Nothing coming? Nope... What happened to the Ageless... Shapeless man? And now, where did Jones and the time machine go?
    And speaking about the collabs... they had a part in the story. I was excited Optimus had a part. But what did the Turtles do? Actually, any of the anime show characters... what did they do for the story? What did Avatar do for the story? If they included the collabs in the story, it wouldn't seem like the story is lacking. I am hoping they start paying attention to the story again. It can't be over. but if it is, please let us know and not keep us hanging on... Also bring back older characters and develop them. Tie everyone's story together in some freaky way that make heads explode...

    I started fortnite in chapter 2 season 1. Just thinking about my experience of fortnite in the chapter 2 early chapter 3 time frame shoots this feeling of nostalgia through me that gets me sad because I may never experience it again. I just remember playing with my friend group and exploring the storyline and the intricacies of the characters with chapter 4 shutting that all down. It all came down to fracture where I was exited to see the relationship between geno, the herald, the last reality and of course the seven. No one got any answers from that event and that was the start of this sense of incompleteness like we were just about to get the answers to who geno actually was and what the nothing was. Fortnite was truly finding its way during that time, and just like every other good tv series, fortnite may have truly created a unique identity with its characters. Now I can only trigger nostalgia to that time period and remember how special it was. I also feel bad for Donald Mustard but am greatful for his contributions for an almost epic story he was and was about to create. I just hope that epic and Charlie Wen can see our perspective and realize what the true DNA of fortnite actually is.

    Another example about loosing familiarity is look at big businesses from the 80's and 90's. Look up pictures of how McDonald's used to look, how taco bell used to look, burger king etc. Heck look at other corporations that aren't fast food like Walmart or target. Now look at them today and how grey and lifeless and corporate they all look. This is the same direction epic is heading in with fortnite within the next couple years, especially with that big Disney collab.

Started getting more into it, when they expanded fish types and methods to catch them. Got better at the game, to keep people from running my moments of fishing. Then I started listening to the audio logs that the Scientist made. The story is what made me fall in love with the game. Started looking back and catching up with lore. Helped me understand why the war was happening.

    Live events got me into Fortnite. I had tried it in season 4, and didn’t like it much. But months later, with talk about a new live event and watching previous events, I gave it a second try and loved it. It was right at the end of season 8 too, so I got to experience the volcano event, which got me hooked from there on out. They dropped the ball after Ch 3 season 2, which is just so upsetting to me. They had such a good storyline, and just ruined it. Everything after that season felt so watered down story wise, I started to lose interest.

    What happened to fortnite’s story is fairly similar to what happened to the Paper Mario games of all things. The first three games were all highly story-driven, with a significant focus on characters and its worldbuilding alongside gameplay, and then it completely changed once new highers arrived at the scene, ones with a completely different, and worse vision for the series, and now that series became a shadow of its former self for 13 years until very recently.

    Thank you for addressing this I haven't really been enjoying fornite because of this and I don't see anyone talking about this and it's left me feeling separated from the rest of the community and game that I love. So I greatly appreciate you making this video because It gives me hope knowing I'm not the only one who thinks this way about how Fortnite changed.(Also have you noticed that the trailers look weird now I don't know what they changed but they look super strange to me.)

    Finally!!!! Someone talked about this. I wanted to be invested in new and unique storylines for characters. Collabs are fine but if they add nothing, in my opinion feel stale and wasted potential. Another is that collabs are way too frequent and hype for their introduction feels like “just another collab.”

    I started playing middle of Chapter 2 Season 7, and I've been a bit disappointed with Fortnite for a few seasons at least. And you're saying that I started during peak time, that's probably why I'm feeling the blahs about it recently so strongly, I came in at a very rich time.
    Have you noticed it's not just Live Events not happening recently, but the Soundwave Series hasn't happened either, and this last time they didn't do anything really special for Coachella with quests to get XP, just added to Jam Stage and a bunch of stuff to the Shop

    Epic Games is no longer making Fortnite for the players, it's for the investors and shareholders. People wonder why the quality of the game is going in the ground, but it's pretty obvious: the game is meant to be a vessel for promotion and graphical showcases, not for the gameplay and player-base.

    Exactly! Good storytelling is only beneficial to the core gameplay.
    That's why I was very invested in the game in the C2S7-C2S3 period, the story made me want to play more, I resonated with the theme of the season much more and it overall felt more fun. Heck, even if I didn't like a season's meta (like C3S2 with the drum shotgun), I was still very much invested because I wanted to stay up to date with the story quests and the characters, the event build up and it made me feel in theme with the season theme.
    All of this is now lacking and as a result I'm much less invested in the gameplay, let alone the story.

    To anyone who thinks Fortnite telling a good story and making great character isn’t profitable, y’all are dead wrong. In 2021, for New Years Epic released in the item shop the “2021 Favorites” which were the top 8 best selling skins that season. Among these 8 were Summer Midas, Beach Jules, Toon Meowscles, and Shadow Midas. Half of the top skins of 2021 were connected to the amazing story and characters of C2 S2, which was almost 2 years earlier. Imagine the millions of dollars Epic could make from reskins if they made amazing characters each season.

    I love watching these videos because they outline many good points, however it pains me that Tim would never see these point and even if so, he would never act on them. I think the higher ups at epic believe that they can do anything and people would still play. The way I imagine they see the story is very small, and insignificant, however I know many people haven't played the game since the story unofficially ended (season og). In order for epic games to understand the points made by us (the community and you) and act on them, they need to see that people are effected by the story, but unfortunately, there is no easy way of doing that. I do believe that they are attempting to tell a new story, as a story is vital to connect seasons, which is why we are getting mini live-events, (the hand and hourglass). They seem to be doing that well, but due to the history and connections we have to the original characters, it will never be enough for true satisfaction. My only worry with how they are likely to respond, is that they attempt to bring in old characters again, with no explanation of where they have been or any further intentions. They failed at this with Jones, when they brought him back with little explanation and with-held his intentions. A good way they could do this, is through the open-world mode, or a revamped campaign. If epic are visualising a multiverse and are attempting to bring something for everyone, I don't see an issue with creating a campaign mode/pve mode, which goes through the story again and continues it. Epic surely have the resources to do so. They could also release small novels or monthly cinematics. They have so much potential to do this and so many tools. Im unsure why they are yet to do anything or respond to any of our query's on this subject, because this seems like a big issue for the community. Ty for reading :)

    Look Ik this will be a little against the point of this video, but unlike the live events we’re not missing a storyline necessarily. The Time Machine stuff with Slone and Jones was happening, the stuff with that robot ai “Evie” or something was happening, everything is still happening but it’s just a tiny bit worse. The only thing that’s making it slow down is this chapter, because it’s sort of a reboot from what the Time Machine did that SLONE was doing with Joneses help. Now we’re in a god war and next season is an apocalypse setting. We are having mini live events like the titan hand too. I feel like we need to give it time, just without live events unfortunately

    Even though I'm not a big fan of the Donald mustard's fortnite storytelling, However he puts so much work, love, and passion towards the storyline. The live events, the original characters, and Famous IPs characters interact with the fortnite storyline. It's just amazing, and the storyline has so much potential. But since Donald mustard left, and Epic games are putting all of their resources into this "Metaverse" thing.
    Nowadays, The game feels souless. There's no depth toward new characters or old characters that we know in love.
    Fortnite storyline quests nowadays are like happy go lucky fetch quest or something.
    And worst of all, Live events and mini events are getting leaked before the days of it's release.
    There's no Instrumental of surprises anymore, and I miss that.
    Hopefully, the Fortnite storyline will make a comeback later down the future. If not, it is what it is.
