“Fortnite”: A Gimmick Within a Gimmick

“Fortnite” season 4 is here. Epic Games’ fort building sim(gimmick) aka Looney Tunes aka Chuck E. Cheese’s aka Weeb’s Paradise aka Bro’s Introductory Course to Video Games ushers in a superhero component(gimmick).

How it all fits into the meta: purple, glowing crystals scattered around the new meteor crash sites grant the player temporary abilities like running a smidgen faster and jumping a lil’ higher. The feel of it is most definitely that of Xbox 360 classic, “Crackdown.”  Tbh, I’m just so sick of superhero shit. People are like obsessed with justice or something. The alien concept captured my interest waaayyy more. Now, we are just stuck with this lame gimmick. This game offers the build gimmick first, then hits us with this lackluster superhero business. Pleeeaaase… On top of all this, Epic teased out this updated for way too long. The hype was disgusting!

Omg, side note, have you guys seen this popular Twitch streamer NICKMERCS who’s making a big name for himself play Looney on PS4? He is, no kidding, the exact bro I would think would be playing this game. BROS LOVE “FORTNITE”! The correlation between bros and their love from Chuck E. Cheese’s is an incredible phenomenon likely to never be fully understood  by rational weebs.

So, have fun getting your justice fix for the duration of season 4! Watch the announcement trailer here:
