> Amid a recruitment struggle, branches are using huge hits like #Fortnite as #marketing tools. Some veterans see the practice as unethical – especially given the age of the #gaming audience
Wait, #LegoFortnite isn't a big online pvp battle thing? I thought that's what the whole idea behind #Fortnite. After watching Floydson's 100 Days video, it's clearly a survival crafter. And I think it's single player, possibly with some co-op options?
I don't think #Minecraft is the best comparison—it reminds me a lot more of #BreathOfTheWild with the blueprints, janky vehicles, gliders, character leveling, and potions. It doesn't look like it has the puzzles, plot, or boss fights of #BOTW. To offset that, the village building; automation via NPCs, and machinery add some potential for depth.
I guess this is just me being old and out of touch with the games played by kids these days. Certainly looks fun.
After getting it on sale on #Playstation5 a couple months ago, I'm giving #WildHearts a try. So far it feels like #MonsterHunter meets #Fortnite... After the careful precision of #LiesOfP (which I'm very close to beating, which makes me sad) WH feels pretty imprecise, even sloppy, but I've heard from numerous people that Lies of P is too hard for them, so I guess that's a good thing. Like MH, the equipment crafting system confuses me, but nothing watching a few YouTube tutorials can't help. I probably won't stick with it for long, I very rarely actually finish games, but at least I actually tried this game after buying it on sale as opposed to so many other games I buy but never touch 😅
However, this is still just another corporate pissing match between two giant companies that don't want to agree on who gets how much of the cake
No matter how much Sweeney is banging on about consumer rights, in the end he's only interested in keeping ALL the money from #Fortnite game sales and IAPs on #iOS for himself. Even if they could get rid of all #Apple#AppStore fees, #EpicGames will certainly not lower their prices by 30% because they're shaming Apple into implementing the #EU's #DigitalMarketsAct
