We used to have fun skins in shooter games when I was a lad, and they didn't cost no "vee buhks" either, they were free!

Just came here to say I don't care that you guys are playing Fortnite, it's not for me and that's ok, have your fun.

But PLEASE, shut the fuck up about it on other content. It feel like every video or podcast I watch has to have a 5 minute break where you talk about all the Gokus in Fortnite and it sucks.

This.

I don't know why there is this sudden Fortnite shilling, but it's becoming boring quick. And Ninja does it better, as much as I hate to say it.

But as the The Rock says: Enjoy your gaming.

@soops: They've talked about it plenty, and that's fine, but it's really become everpresent in their content over the last few weeks. It's like when Rory wouldn't shut up about Mr Shifty, except they're all doing it.

More solo streams, a voice mail show and Fortnite is far from the renaissance necessary to get things back on course.

these comments man. Seems people here are really annoyed if there's FUN happening. I hate Wrestling and Fighting Games, they talked about that stuff for years because they love it. If I'm not interested I don't listen to it and wait for other stuff, is that so hard? Let them have fun. Man I love games but I just hate Gamers, it's the same every time and in every "community". Life sucks, why not let people enjoy stuff?

Honestly, I like seeing people being passionate about a game they like.

Also, they talk about games they like all the time, as they should, but they're getting flack cuz it's Fortnite? C'moooon

Dan was supposed to be the chosen one, not the one who turned GB into a half video game, half Fortnite site. Thank god Jan has Sekiro going or things would be basically the same as the Bakalar year.

@c_toc: there are thousands of gaming websites, if this one doesn't do it for you anymore why don't you just find another one instead of mandating what they should do so you are satisfied?

@chamurai: this, 100%. People treat this site like it's theirs and like GB owes us something and what that is they can't even say, but "please no Fortnite" - but seeing this isn't a surprise this is a "community" that was disappointed when they played Mario Kart and were "not good enough" - the word fun doesn't mean that much to them I guess.

Honestly I don't even know why I bother reading these comments, it's just ridiculous.

The problem is, your comments would be valid if GB wasn't guilty of doing the same things themselves. Dissing certain games and making fun of fans who like them, Sonic anyone? But like Jeff Gubb said once, everyone is a hypocrite. So if you hate "gamers" and their "communities", you can hate them too. Besides, people have a right to comment on whether they like or dislike something people post.

@av_gamer: your example with Sonic: it's just a running gag at this point isn't it? Are people really upset when some dudes on the internet say "Sonic sucks!"?

I'm not mad if people say Fortnite or The Sims or whatever sucks, but telling people not to talk about it anymore? What?

If they talk about Wrestling I skip those sections sometimes because I don't like it. I would never tell them to stop talking about it, also because: this is a website about video games. Some people are soooo dead serious here what the hell is going on?!

And of course people have a right to say they don't like something but in this case its just because "its Fortnite" and that's not a "Real Game". They talked for weeks about PUBG on everything they did, that was fine.

If you get angry about people enjoying and talking about a game they like whenever they feel like talking about it then you deserve to be angry. Enjoy your weird, pathetic fury.

I love how much they are loving this game. Jan's self-loathing is the chef's kiss. My sons just got me into Fortnite two weeks ago so it's a blast learning the game along with the GB gang.

lol this. Getting angry is a choice. This is like when people get legit upset when wrestling comes up. If you want to be angry at people enjoying Fortnite (or anything, really), then Godspeed and have . . . fun?

This series actually got me to install it for the first time. And I, for some damn reason, won on my first try, so now I can retire undefeated.

@ultimaxe: Getting angry is a choice.

I mean, it's straight up not, that's not how human emotion works at all but that's beside the point.

I'm not even angry, maybe my first comment came of that way, but I'm not. I've been a Premium member for years, I like most of the people who feature on this website including the newer members, but I don't think it's unreasonable to voice my complaints and concerns about something I pay money for.

Of course I could just cancel, but I'd rather not jump to that yet and I'm sure GB would rather I gave my feedback while maintaining a premium membership than in the exit questionnaire when I cancel.

@mars92: so you really would consider cancelling because they are playing on game you do not like? Sorry but I think that's pretty extreme.

I think it's great that they now are doing this "murder island" thing again, with Fortnite and it's one segment people that don't like it can easily skip it. The "talking about it everywhere" thing will stop because that's just what happens in the beginning so I think everyone will be satisfied in the long run.

Nevermind that premium has changed so that this paying customer malarkey is kinda pointless.

I downloaded Fortnite to check out the Dragon Ball stuff. It looks pretty cool but I had to uninstall. I have the feeling I'd buy that stuff, play a couple matches, and then not play it anymore. So I'm going to save my money.

Sorry if I’m repeating, but I got tired of scrolling through the hate posts.

I, for one, am hoping for more regular Murder Island content in general, and have loved the Fortnite stuff so far. I hope they do Fortnite for a good bit, the maybe Warzone 2 when it drops, even the Halo BR if it ever drops, heheh. I just think there’s tons of good content to be had by watching the crew clown around in a BR, only to accidentally git gud. It’s a winning formula.

And yeah, I’m also guilty of DLing Fortnite and playing some Zero Build due to the coverage, and I’m hooked. Such a silly, delightfully refreshing change of pace from the sweatier stuff I also like to play. Keep it up I says!!!!!
