This, Splinter Cell, and Perfect Dark make this as exciting of an E3 as you can get (sans hardware reveal).

I'll tell you something I don't like about this game, every f***ing time I fire it up there's a multi GB update required.
Every single time. Last one was 9 GB and just fired it up now, only just over 1 GB so that's nice I guess.....
I'm just saying it's annoying to try to play a game casually here and there like that.
To me this is the type of game I want to have a quick go before going to work for example. Well this update every time cancels that out I can't play anything now.

Impressions after 4 matches...
- Patricia Hernandez from Kotaku just ran a story basically saying the mode is the best thing to happen to Fortnite. If you play 500+ hours of vanilla Fortnite you shouldn't say something like that mere hours after the new mode releases.
- It is somewhat fun, though I suspect only in short bursts. The best thing about Fortnite is arguably the building and Thanos neutralizes that real quick.
- I do think it speaks to the beauty of Fortnite in the fact that something like this can happen. This is Epics sandbox / chest of Leggos. They're just kind enough to let us play in it.
- The mode is probably so good that I can see Epic introducing a version 2.0 down the line without Thanos. They'll just create a Fortnite predator who will live in that world. Who knows, maybe something hatches from that egg in Dusty Divot...
- I won with Thanos on my 4th try. The key (I think) is just getting the gauntlet in the final 20 and camping/avoiding players. You wreck a straggler or two (morons) who try to fight you then bide your time until the final 3 or so.
- Good game is good.

People are now upset that Ninja isn't swearing during his streams. My reaction...

This game is growing on me. Was playing last night and came in 3rd on solo with 3 kills. I stood back on the side of a mountain watching the other two build like crazy taking shots at each other. Finally their attention moved to me.
I like the shooting, I just can’t stand the building aspect of the game. Maybe it will just take time to get use to it.
Played a couple squads with randoms and kept getting dumba** teammates. I need to catch some of my buddies when they’re on.

For context, David Price won the Cy Young award (pitcher of the year) in 2012. This is one of the best pitchers in baseball, on one of the biggest professional teams on planet earth, wilting to the blazing hot beauty known as Fortnite Battle Royale.

TSM is having their players move into their Fortnite house...
I interpret this as Fortnite ESports is about to get underway in the next couple of months. We're gearing up folks!

I don't understand the obsession you have with the popularity thing. Does it make you enjoy the game more? I comes across as a need for validation. Who cares if a celebrity likes a game?
The culture is fascinating to some. Sucks that you feel defensive about it. Enjoy!
Some are suggesting Epic is including a glider item that lets you float down from high surfaces, in this update.
Defensive? Why would I feel defensive, and what about? I see a lot of posts about popular opinion as if it has anything to do with actually playing the game other than you will have full hoppers. I get the overwhelming impression that you are on an almost cult-like recruitment effort. The game is not having issues with player numbers. I just think it's weird that you are so adamant in your pursuit of converts, and you are trying using the bandwagon effect to do it.
Nope, and I have no interest in it either. I've never made a value judgement on the game outside of saying I don't care for the pace or aesthetic. I've certainly seen enough footage to understand what it is about.
I didn't get into Overwatch for much the same reason, and I suspect those players are all on the Fortnite bandwagon as well. They were likely the same Hordes in Destiny and COD before that. I'm good.
When I was a child my mother used to ask me "Why don't you at least try (insert foreign food here)?" To which I responded with "Mother, I don't like how it smells."
Oh to be a child for even one more day!
Ooh, that's subtle! It's so cute how smart you think you are!
But seriously. As adults, we can garner enough experience to know whether we want to bother with something or not. I wager I'd enjoy myself for a bit then drop it as I don't care for MP much (I don't play Pubg much either even though I do like the intensity and realistic ethos). I'm sure the game is great in it's own capacity as it is obviously resonating with people.

There you go being all defensive again.
I'll hook up with you after Epic/Sony announce crossplay with XBox at this year's E3. (Hey it could happen)
In the meantime, it looks like Epic is gearing up for their competitive mode!
And it looks like Jetpacks (!) and a new map (?) might be on their way soon!
Jetpacks just got added but there also seems to be another stealth addition added to the game called the Eye of the Storm tracker. It shows you the next storm circle before anyone else can see it.
I'll try to go find the link but it looks like there's a ton of new backpack types found in the game files...

According to Superdata...
Fortnite made $296 million dollars (all platforms) during the month of April.
Fortnite made $223 million dollars (all platforms) during March.
Fortnite made $126 million dollars (all platforms) during February.
The crazy thing is that May is going to crush April considering the season 4 Battle Pass went on sale May 1st. We're fast approaching 1 billion dollars. I couldn't be more proud.

I was one of the early champions of Fortnite. I campaigned for it when everyone was dismissing it as a poor PUBG knock off. I saw it's potential and impeccable DNA well before most others did.
I was the guy who put it on record that Donovan Mitchell should go number 1 in last year's draft while everyone was talking up Lonzo Ball.
I guess you'd have to do something similar to truly feel how special this is.
