10 Things We Love About Battle Royale Games - The List - MMORPG.com
Battle Royale has become a game style that captured millions, put them on an island and allowed them to fight it out. Some may call it dangerous, others a problem, but for fans of these games it is just flat out fun. Here are some of the mechanics we love about Battle Royale Games. Whether it is PUBG, H1Z1, or Fortnite, we know what makes for fantastic PvP.

That streamer Ninja was talking about players only knowing how to shoot,well the game controls are cumbersome.
Not everyone can sit there 12 hours a day playing video games and learning to play the controls fluently.A game should be fluent right away and shouldn't require a lot of time to work the controls.
What made Epic's UT99 so great was the overall scope of combat,from sounds to map layout,zaxis,proficiency with all weapons,prediction etc etc.In UT099 we also had to work our way to a healing pack all the while your opponent knows this and will cut you off.
Well Fortnite dumbs down MOST skills that make fps'rs great.Zaxis is not fought over control of key map points but instead just make your own ramp,hide behind a wall to heal very few options for weapon use,map layout is near meaningless.
Point being that just like Overwatch and PubG,it might be the shiny new but it takes a huge backseat to the king of fps'rs...UT99.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
Battle royals are cool tho.
^^^^Why most people hate pvp
Open "world" pvp
Looting stuff
End list
Looking forward to: Crowfall / Lost Ark / Black Desert Mobile
I rather face 1 or 2/3 at most in an arena setting,not running around grass and trees and trying to fit in 100 players.
Watching players mechanics imo ruins the visual of the game and the awful constant bunny hopping that everyone does.

Fortnite has way too many cheaters? What are you even talking about? Source on this? PUBG has banned hundreds of thousands of cheaters and has had to delay content in order to prevent it...
They are both solid games, with Fortnite ahead in terms of bugs / optimization. That does not mean it is better, some people are willing to tolerate that. (Obviously a lot of people) Personally I prefer Fortnite because of the things it has that PUBG does not. (I prefer Arcade style shooters and more then just killing) Most PUBG players who hate Fortnite; hate it because of those mechanics. Personally, I can see the value in both but like Fortnite more. It is alright to like things other people don't and it is okay to like them both. It is not okay to pretend that one is straight up better then the other because of issues that may or may not exist and have been proven to exist in an abundance in the other.
Yeah a lot of them do. I think MMO players in general seem to not like them as much because they are very anti-mmo in the way they work.
What a ton of people don't realize is that Battle Royale is not new. It is literally decades old.
Battle Royale is:
1) Deathmatch with weapon pickups
2) Pick spawn location
3) One life
This mode has existed for a long time, it is just now becoming the new hotness, similar to how Overwatch is a "Hero Shooter" but it's roots are in games from the late 90s. Numbers don't really matter. There are BRs with 10 players. There is a BR coming out with 1000. The reality is that it boils down to those 3 things regardless of how you spin it. It does not need to be an FPS either.
Fortnite is actually a very good game....I like it for many of the reasons others don't....the forced action and the building are wonderful features for me.....the only problem is it takes quite a bit of practice and key rebinding at first and the game offers no practice mode... can be really frustrating for quite a while before you start having fun....my advice is run with a squad that knows what they are doing and try to absorb as much as you can....it can be very exhilarating to be with a squad that comes from behind to win it all...super satisfying

Really? This is why I don't play "fashions" they attract the worst players.
