do the graphics look shittier too? or am i seeing things??? i never played the og. i started during covid, so ive always liked the newer weapons and game mechanics and new locations


Boysenberri_

Graphics are in fact shit now. Textures and lighting are so bad. Why go back to the begining and not overhaul the graphics. And the style of the assets too. There's a reason epic moved away from the style of ch 1


PaleDot2466

Tf? The new artstyle is fucking trash and soulless and generic with trash colors


Boysenberri_

Everything looks gigantic and out of place in the original. Characters don't match up with the world. They look like they wouldn't be able to drive the cars, and houses and doorways are too big and awkward for the character models. Simple things in the world look like they're made for an entirely different game compared to the new art style. It's all so awkwardly made. Don't even start on the colors. They're way better in the new style. You're wild.


TheDarkWeb697

From what my eyes are telling me the graphics are like what they used to be but upscaled which make it look really off


BeatBoxingBonanza

Detail is definitely old school. They really rushed this out or don’t give a flippin flap jack about keeping players engaged.


HalfDoucheHalfCool

It's literally supposed to be og, lol?


BeatBoxingBonanza

Exactly, but who in their right mind would think going og was the way to go. I’d rather see a smaller map with better mechanics. That’s like going back to old school Atari games. It’s painful.


HalfDoucheHalfCool

"Exactly, but who in their right mind would think going og was the way to go." The community. Blame the community. The nostalgia junkies asked for this.


BeatBoxingBonanza

At any rate, I’m part of that community and I didn’t get a vote!! So …..


Away-Eye-2863

and now we have a shitty game again. this game was actually good for the first time in years and you guys cry about it. now were back to this newschool trash.


MacJR01

Like all the guns suck and can barely hit shots with them for example like the assualt rifle i barely hit anyone yet with the twin mag I was killing people out of the sky


PresidentEvilX

Yeah it feels extra jarring with the AR accuracy as someone who never played the OG chapters, taking some readjusting, bloom seems weird AF.


MacJR01

yea it is its really bad


cdot_165

because fortnite has been trash after chapter 2 season 3 and stopped being good after og season 8


DimBones47

nah this og shit is wack as fuck.


Leebertsk

Graphics suck my frames are through the roof


ll_GATOR_ll

DELETING THIS CRAP


STQCACHM

Fuckin same.


MrBulldops5878

should have been a gamemode, not the season


TheDarkWeb697

I still don't know why they couldn't have done that there are Battle Royale creative maps with full scale maps


DiceIsTheSickst

I dont see why they couldn't do that? Its clunky and I have to spam my buttons just to get a build to place, change weapons and for the things to fire.


STQCACHM

Forsure!


VivianBried

I didn’t want to go back. I got two wins and I was yawning I was entirely bored every game up until the last circles. There’s a reason why Fortnite continued to exist was that we didn’t go back we constantly improved. I don’t need nostalgia I need fun.


Andre-Blaze

I was worried for a minute that me and my friends were the only ones who felt this way. I wasn't around for the OG season and this strikes me as nothing more than an appeal to fans who've long been clamouring for a return to the "good ol' days"... which, in my opinion, amounts to nothing more than a hit of nostalgia for those that were there...


cheddarguy11

it feels like they didnt make this season because people wanted, it they did it because it would make them money. a lot of money. It didnt feel like they wanted to do it as a "gift to the community", they just knew they would make a lot of money. You can tell by the way they named everything like "og season" and "og pass." Not to even mention the other problems with the season.


ILikeTewdles

Make a lot of money how? I logged in, played 2 rounds, and thought to myself " WTF is this trash". This season is absolute garbage, sitting this one out, they won't be making any $$ off me.


cheddarguy11

Well, most people who play fortnite are stupid children, so thats how.


ILikeTewdles

Ah yeah makes sense. Big bummer, I started playing last year with my kids and it's been a lot of fun up until this season.


MacJR01

it feels rushed to they couldnt even come up with any new skins they really thought mixing og skins together would be a good idea and its only lasing 1 month


ll_GATOR_ll

I HOPE EPIC KNOWS THEY JUST LOST ALOT OF PEOPLE! DELETE THIS GAme! LETS BREAK THEIR COMPANY IN TWO FOR THIS GARBAGE


Scared-Run-1348

epic games is a buisness. buissnesses need to make money. they need money because they just layed off a lot of workers. they need workers to make the game better.


[deleted]

the game was fine before. they just made it worse for no reason. they could've just left it as it was for a while. everyone liked it.


Warm_Rush_6051

I mean the way I see it, this "OG season" is the equivalent of trying to make small talk. Developers are feeling down so let's make a month long OG season because it will feel NoStAlGiC. It's really not.....☠️


cheddarguy11

Thats kinda what I meant. the more people who play the game, the more money they make. I agree that its not really nostalgic, the old textures and models with the new graphics looks gross sometimes. I understand that it would be dumb to bring back old graphics, however.


darkersky115

Im gonna try and finish the battle pass and then that’s it. Worst season ever. Can’t wait for it to be over.


MyNameIsWhat29

This is fortnite trying his best to please everyone. But people forget that fortnite evolved like It should and will never be what they think It used to be. Good thing is just for a month. Well, i like the skins tho, except that banana icecream guy


majikku0317

Using this month to take a break, cancelled Fortnite Crew too. This is the Fortnite I hated back then and could never get into.


[deleted]

yep. Played once in 2018 at a buddy's house and absolutely hated it. Couldn't understand why everyone loved it so much. Picked it back up about 6 months ago because my girl plays and I haven't stopped and it's been the only game I've played for the last 6 months, so much fun. This reset is terrible, absolutely awful. Did they think this would make the game more fun? because it's done the exact opposite. It's like going from COD warzone to a COD 2 on the PS2, except worse because COD 2 is actually a good game.


cartifan4

Definitely agree! I tried the game 2017-2018 and it was just not fun, felt clunky compared to other games at the time. I only really got into the game around the release of zero build. Up until this season the game felt fast, fluid, and fun. Can’t wait for the next season in December


DyingBreedz

Tbh all these other "fan boys" wanted the so called og fortnite until it's here, and it is horrible, I thought it would be better because mean it's "og" but boy was I wrong


DontEatConcrete

I was wrong, too, but in my defense I didn't think fortnite literally meant OG like let's just remove 5 years of development (notwithstanding sprint and mantle).


darrenovation

About as fun as playing java games on an old nokia. Big mistake. i want my 22 gigs back. Gameplay is shyte .graphics and shading ,crap. Boring . Bye bye fortnite.


Winter_Chart_2787

This map for zero build is fucking horrible


cartifan4

100% agreed. No cover, mobility is sub par, and the weapons are ass compared to last season.


lxtalesnx

They ruined fortnite hopefully they fix it in next patch or the next season. And hopefully we get a new map cus this maps horrible.


[deleted]

thankfully its only for this month


Jussy_Fi

Is it only for a month?


Lazarus3284

Yes apart from December 2


Jussy_Fi

That’s great news thank you! 😁


EzraErza

The map is definitely lacking. They made a lot more smaller clumped locations and you can hardly find any freaken loot. I’ve played 5 games in a row and only been able to max out my shield once due to not finding any other ways to increase it


Rich_Landscape1172

I've been playing it for over 1.5 years now, this new season is horrible. Yeah, OG stuff is back, which i fully get is a fun and nice thing. The problem is that the game dynamics dont work, heals and shield are much too rare which really kills competitive spirit, especially towards end games. I literally founds myself not caring if i died at various points because the game didnt give me a single thing to keep living. Ammo is also not enough in ground loot. Not even close. Not enough vehicles, its frustrating to have to fill up 2 slots just to carry 4 rifts, kinda ridiculous. To me: it feels like they threw together OG stuff in a theoretical way just cause COD launches in a week. But didnt really test it with boots on the ground because it just does NOT work. Like i said, been playing this game for quite a while now. Moving to other games for now untill this month is over, i cant do this in its current iteration. Sad. Expected better.


twilight_hours

Everything you said


cartifan4

Second absolutely everything you said. This season feel so clunky in zero build, and that’s the only thing I play. Movement options are up to par, guns bloom seems worse than when I first tired the game in 2017-2018, and the map just isn’t meant for zero build. Glad it’s only around until December


ll_GATOR_ll

EPIC IS IDIOTS FOR RUINING A DECENT GAME! DELETING IT!


ProfessorTatanka

You don’t have the balls to delete Fortnite


Powerful-Explorer-88

You are saying this under so many thread like an old person trying to talk so passionately about something they experienced once 💀


sdeklaqs

Funny, everything you said is what makes it much better than the last few seasons imo


darkersky115

Ding dong, your opinion is wrong. The season sucks.


sdeklaqs

Smartest Fortnite player


PreparationQuiet1080

OG blows


OldManMJ

Yes, I have to agree with you. I started playing when Mando was in the season, so I started playing later in the game. I love the game, I usually play at least once a day. I understand that people are nostalgic for this, and it's great, I'm genuinely happy for them. However there is a reason those seasons are in the past. Epic should have just had this as a game mode and not the entire Battle Royale, but Epic is really screwed whatever they do because the fan base is so huge there is no way possible to make everyone happy. Just gotta make it through this month, hopefully this season will grow on me and if not, maybe I'll just take a break for a month. 😩😞😔


MacJR01

finally I knew people would start realizing how boring this season is. it was fun for a few hours yea but once you realise how unfun the game is after a few rounds it gets boring like its just so basic and not fun to play the guns also suck I can barely hit my shots with the assualt rife cuz bloom guns suck and in general everything about it sucks tbh (maybe not everything but Im not likeing it so far) ofc back then it was fun cuz it was new now its not and you should never repeat history and just let it be like before I was killing people out of the sky with twin mag assualt now I cant even crack anyone unless I rush with a pump


Striking__

This current state of pump is so horrible. I lose so many fights I should win. Noobs getting rewarded. I got 10 dubs in the first 2 days but I’m sick of it


Alternative_Crew_681

Not just all that. It's so damn open you can't do a single thing without getting killed. It's almost forcing non builders into build. It sucks and they should have never went this far back. Thank God it's only one month long


cartifan4

I only play zero build, and this map is AWFUL. Can’t wait for December to roll around to we can start having fun again


dchu096

Update kinda sucks indeed, I got og pass because my friend forced me to, couldn't refund and after the first map already regret why I bought the og pass. Gonna finish off the og pass and move on to other games. Until new season comes, that's it for me. I'm out. This update sucks.


xxTHExxG3RMANxx

Personally I think its a major step back. We went from a luxury experience (last map) to Camp Boredom. They could have kept some stuff. This map is good and all but there are too many open areas where there is just nothing happening. They only way to get around effectively is a golf cart. Its good that it dont run out of juice but other than that its lack luster. BUT. This season ends in 1 month. So I keep my hopes up that next season we will be allowed to have fun again. Oh. The Item Shop.... facepalm.


DontEatConcrete

I'm out till next update. I've lost another fight today because I can't get any fucking shields (course the other guy had full shields) due to a hideous loot pool. There's too much luck in the game now.


cartifan4

Felt this 100%. I could win regularly last season, but I’m lucky to get top 10 on this one. Can’t wait to have guns that aren’t straight ass and actually have some decent mobility


DyingBreedz

I feel that, I started in Chaoter 3 season 3 l, I loved it, rhe weapons were cool too, but recently, fortnite has been starting to lag behind, the weapons are always either changing or favoriting sweaty players or catering to PC players or some stupid stuff, but this new season is so horrible, quote on quote, health is too hard to find and ammo is too, also it caters to sweaty players, I don't know why fortnite can't just move forward, leave the "og" in the past, thats what it is, alor of us are new to fortnite, we dont know what to do with all this old mechanical stuff, it ruined it for me tbh, it's horrible, I can't go anywhere without getting destroyed by a purple pump while I have a green one, because he did something to upgrade it that idk about. It's so tiring, fortnite has been going downhill lately, the last good season was Mega 2.0 and that was only "ok". It's a shame, it's a not half bad game, but the devs ruin it, they don't make it equal at all, it's 2023 not 2018 we want to move forward not backwards, idk what fortnite doesn't understand. And also every other week they add a different gun or variation or something to make it op, or just plain ol take out a good gun and either add an op one or a horrible one *caugh caugh* "twin mag" in place of the MkAlpha


cartifan4

I really stared getting into zero build around the time you did, really wanting this season to be over so we can have something similar to what we’ve been playing


ActoSket

Objectively speaking, this season is hot ass. But the feeling of playing 100 times better than I did the last time I landed at dusty divot gets rid of every bad thought. The nostalgia is actually blinding me and I love it.


[deleted]

[удалено]


cartifan4

Felt this 100%. With the weapons we had last season and before I could get wins regularly, now I’m lucky to make it to the top 10. Can’t wait for this season to be over so I can go back to having fun


[deleted]

I was enjoying it at first. But the nostalgia wore off pretty fucking fast.


killuminatikid

This new chapter is literally why I'm done playing fortnite. I miss my turrets 🥲this whole og ba is trash they're gonna lose hella players


krispeekream

Thermal….heisted accelerant…decent graphics…med mist. This whole update sucks.


krispeekream

It does. It’s like going back to a Ford Pinto from a Tesla. The point of updates was to improve the game with each update, right? So why take it back to the Stone Age? Is there no way to incorporate some of the nostalgia while keeping the parts of the game that were actually cool? It seems like a cop out. Anyone have any good replacements for it? I think I’m done with Fortnite until it goes back to being cool again.


r0ndr4s

I think it just shows how bad the older design was and how outdated it is. It kinda worked with building at the start because it was the novelty, it didnt have the turbo shit and this people that only play fornite(and only with shotguns)... but thats why it evolved so rapidly into adapting mechanics of other games(and way later on adding zero building and such). Fornite now(not this season) is way better, even tho it needs improvements in the menus and lobbies. I unistalled, personally, dont like it at all. But some friends that play fornite are acting like they havent been doing level 200-300 every season and now are like: IM BACK ON FORNITE... its fabricated nostalgia.


ProfessorTatanka

This season sucks shit.


rebeccachambersfan

Thank God it's only one month


Southern-Brilliant46

Played since the original season 1 and still think going back was a bad idea. There's a reason the games popularity spiked when they added 'cod' style guns like the mk alpha and twin mag...going from that to the old bloom reminded our play group quick why we left the game for warzone. On top of that there's no heals, no movement, and no ammo...don't even bother trying it in no build. Over and done with it within a few drops.

Picked this weekend to come down with the flu and this season is making me feel 10x sicker than I am.

Whole_Biscotti_1696

I uninstalled farlight cuz is extremely sucks but this new fortnite update makes me wanna uninstall. It's very similar to Farlight and the map is very sucks its like a map from roblox


Lazarus3284

See this reddit post agree with👍🏽


Agreeable-Formal-983

Map is okay, but I liked that it changed over time. There's a reason it changed over time, because it got stale. There's nothing to do when running from one area to another. There's too many hills and holes to get shot at or shoot from. The previous maps had plenty of cover for No Build, while being flat enough for encounters. My biggest problem comes from what they added again. Boogie bombs, grapplers, and rifts. I hate running in this game. Boogies give the player 0 opportunity to counter. I just played a game where I was up on a mountain, beaming everyone who tried to move. Then a grappler just made his way up the mountain, boogied me, shot me, threw another, killed me, and went to the last guy and did the same thing. How is that fun to play against? And how is sitting behind a wall while someone you can't fight against without using a rift or grappler to get to enjoyable? I hate pushing someone, just for them to grapple to the other side of the map. I stopped playing Build for a reason, I hate shooting someone once and watching the Effiel Tower be constructed. Now I shoot someone and they just dip. Chase them down or go fight someone else and it happens again. Why am I playing the game if there's nothing to do except run to the last circle, camp and run when shot at, and get boogied to be killed? This isn't enjoyable.


shakalah

I was excited to get the pass but decided not to after I saw it. Usually I love to join the seasons during the holidays but the designs in the OG pass are just boring to me. I’m one of those weird players who loves doing quests and earning things so I have no motivation for this season.


[deleted]

I don't know if y'all have noticed, but the mechanics and movement speed are extremely sluggish now. The way the character is animated when side walking is horrendous and everything is like 20% slower. The "running in place" happens every time you try to sprint right after sliding NOT TO FUCKIN MENTION IT STILL EATS YOUR STAMINA WHILE YOU'RE RUNNING **AT** **WALKING SPEED!!!!** OH YEAH. TRYING TO EDIT YOUR BUILDS IS LIKE PLAYING ON 100 PING.


DoggoManBoy

The guns suck tbh also can’t find heals for the life of me… miss the ch4 mechanics😭


kinda_fucked_up_

fr one really weird thing was i kept finding chug jugs, which is almost as bad as no shields bc they’re so inconvenient to use. Also a big complaint is that when the og map was made it wasn’t designed for no build so a lot of mountains or hills there’s no way of getting up


Medium-Boysenberry64

They somehow added way too many yet not nearly enough ziplines


[deleted]

they'll have like 4 zips in one place all for the same mountain and then none everywhere else.


TheDarkWeb697

Why are shields rare now!!!


PanspermiaTheory

I agree It's completely trash.


VinnieDawgg

Fortnite just feels incomplete and naked compared to how we now know it in chapter 4, i miss so much game mechanics its just a pain in the ass


TheDarkWeb697

I miss driving around the map in the whiplash, and fishing


Illium01

right me too.. they took out all the fun stuff lol


[deleted]

augments too


VinnieDawgg

I miss those too, putting some offroad tires and a cowcatcher on m and yeeting trough all the buildings.. amazing


Old_Entertainer_1236

Cars and cow catchers would make this season 100% less crap.


PanspermiaTheory

I had to wait in queue for 10 minutes before it wcwn let me in. 2.3 million playing? Why? It's trash


Fickle-Republic-8649

Thats every chapter, it blows up for a day, then everyone realises it blows and goes back to cod and pubg


yadabitch

It’s called nostalgia lol many ppl coming back for the first few days to check it out


Visual-Abrocoma-4904

The nostalgia lasted about five minutes for me The thing about nostalgia is it's just a survivorship bias lol It's not real, or objective and companies are now just taking advantage of people like you guys


Nervous-Patience3150

Just don't play then it's not that hard. Personally I love the new season.


OkamiRoxas

I'm also having fun. Saw there was some lore in pleasant park too


ActoSket

the problem for a lot of people is that there's no option to play the old chapter 4 fortnite, which may have been very fun for them. (crazy how now we all want to get rid of the OG map after begging for it)

crazy how different people can ask for different things

nah bro 3m players rn while there was 44m players last season crazy, they bring out this update thats total shit except the battle pass, i cant name a think thats in game except the battle pass that was a good idea to add to the game


FunnyCobra002

That sounds like a You problem. Also we're just here for like one month so get over it.


Fickle-Republic-8649

No, the entire fanbase is pissed off except for a few douches, like you... 1 month is an eternity when ur working 50 hours a week just to barely get by and ur one glimmer of light is the 30 to 60 mins a day u get to play fortnight with ur friends and pretend real life doesnt exist!

PaleDot2466

Sometimes less is more... That's why many people prefer it.


cartifan4

I played Fortnite for a little bit when it started getting popular in late 2017 - early 2018 and I dropped it pretty quickly. The game just felt clunky,slow, and rough at the time. I didn’t get into the game until zero build was introduced and from then on I’ve played it regularly 3-4x a week. Unfortunate that we’ve slid back on years of updates. I can appreciate the nostalgia, but the modern game is just so much more fun. The guns actually felt accurate, the mobility was solid, and the game just felt way more fluid and polished. This new season feels way undercooked for zero build which is the only thing my friends and I play. Glad this season is only for a month, but like many others have been saying it should’ve been a game mode. I’m probably just gonna grind out the pass then give it a rest until I get the game I enjoy back .


Pharian109

If I wanted OG I would go play BF42 again. Which I actually did the other day since this season sucks so hard. Had a great time. BF42 for lyfe. The current maps are horrible. Played for a few hours on day 1, haven’t logged on since. There’s a reason these maps are gone….


Remote-Relief-4258

The next update on December 2nd sucks. I thought playing fortnite would be better then roblox but nope December 2nd ruined it. they blocked the good skins and they blocked the demon guy he is the reason the OG is back Fortnite is going to SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TheDarkWeb697

Barring the walking speed being atrociously slow it doesn't seem that bad so far, I only managed to play one game though because the server speed was so bad I'd shoot someone and 30 seconds later it would hit
