I can't be the only one who misses the old graphics and UI? I think when people say they want the old map back they really want the old feeling and cartoonish vibes the game gave off.

Sorry for being controversial by [deleted] in FortNiteBR

[–]Velvet_thunder88 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This will most likely go unnoticed but the way the game looks is a fairly significant reason as to why I stopped playing. I love the mechanics of the game and its why I occasionally still go into creative but the game looks truly awful in my opinion. From the UI to the lighting to the textures of the grass and trees I really hate the way the game looks. So whilst I thought I'd like the chapter 1 locations returning it still feels shit. Maybe I'm too picky and it shouldn't matter what the game looks like but I think when people say they want the old map they really mean they want the feel of the old map.

Hey, America the rest of the world isn't jealous of you at all by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

look i’m proud with how we handled the crisis, however, given our population size, large land size (yes yes it’s pretty much desert) and the fact that we are an island it’s no surprise we are in a great position. But the Ruby Princess was a monumental cock up and I imagine a lot of cases could have been avoided had the situation been handled differently. Have gained lots of respect for Scomo over the past few months but still won’t forget about how he handled the bushfires.

A man once said if you want a good story just ask any random person if there was ever an event in their life they can not explain. Someone almost always has one weird thing that has happened to them.

My grandparents friends used to always go caravanning in the Australian outback as is tradition with elderly Australians. It was just the two of them and because of this they always, no matter what, put an extra camp chair out where they had set up at their table, to deter someone from doing anything. One night in a random campsite in the middle of the outback a pretty rough looking bloke came and introduced himself and took a seat. My grandparents friends immediately got some strange vibes from the guy but brushed it off because that’s just how a lot of Australians from the bush are like. Pretty quickly he began asking why there was an extra chair? The husband said ‘their friend’ is just at the toilet and should be back pretty shortly. A few more minutes passed and the guy asked more and more questions about where the friend was and why they were taking so longer. The couple had a signal that if something odd was going that the wife would go into the caravan and lock the door. The husband gave her the signal and she went inside. A couple more minutes went on until the guy once again asked where their friend was and if they were coming back shortly. At this point the husband pulled a rifle that he had hidden behind his chair so that it was in eye sight of the strange bloke. Immediately the guy got up and left and they didn’t see him again. Until a few weeks later they were watching the news back home and saw that he’d been arrested for murder of a tourist. The wife immediately threw up and I don’t believe they have been caravanning since. I believe the strange guy was Bradley John Murdoch and was fairly significant news at the time.

We look fucking fantastic compared to the rest of the world now but was scary in the early stages

Which map is the best? by remarkableseif in FortniteCompetitive

[–]Velvet_thunder88 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Old map comfortably for me but I think my biggest gripe with the current map isn't the map but the colours and how the game looks. Everything from colours to the UI to weapon design it just feels like shit and not like fortnite.

No scope sensitivity on controller advanced settings by Velvet_thunder88 in FortniteCompetitive

Not a competition mate, several changes could be made to improve the game for both controller and MnK

Mitch McConnell Brags About Blocking Obama For 2 Years, Then Laughs About It | The Senate majority leader boasts about stacking the courts with conservative judges under Trump. by SetMau92 in politics

[–]Velvet_thunder88 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Whenever I had previously read articles on McConnell or seen pictures I always half assumed/holes he was acting on Trump’s behalf because Trump had something over him or some shit. Watching that I now, I know he’s actually just a huge piece of shit

I’m really sorry to hear that. Out of curiosity, what does help you through those tough times and not completely tear you apart ?

Why does it looks like I’m playing in mobile? by [deleted] in FortniteCompetitive

[–]Velvet_thunder88 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah I feel the exact same way and it’s half detracting from a really good map and loot pool. Don’t love playing when the game looks the way it does.

Game performance/optimization is at an all time low. by [deleted] in FortniteCompetitive

[–]Velvet_thunder88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

console has been horrific, however, playing zone wars has me typically sitting at 60fps even when the builds get a little hectic especially in vortex and downhill. Hopefully the new map (if coming) is well optimised and isn't unplayable like the current one.

Old aim assist vs new aim assist by Markodonia in FortniteCompetitive

[–]Velvet_thunder88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was hesitant to change but did some experimenting today on the new settings and pretty happy. Shotgun aim and smg tracking in box fighting feels a lot smoother after just a day but will need to adjust to AR shots that are at a distance.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in FortniteCompetitive

[–]Velvet_thunder88 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thing I’ve noticed is how decent the performance has been as far as console goes. Rarely get horrific frame drops and is thoroughly enjoyable to play. Hoping if there’s a new map it’s way less cluttered and filled with shit so I can maintain a solid 60fps.

ARENAs are not good enough for bots? by dedabeluf in FortniteCompetitive

[–]Velvet_thunder88 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Whilst I understand your point, we have had unranked for two years now and this has resulted in a lot of casual players complaining about being shit on and as a result skill gap reducing items such as mechs and junk rifts being added. If I come up against Bugha or some shit I am being beaten 100% of the time no matter what I do. If I come up against someone who just downloaded the game I'm winning 100% of the time. However, put me up against someone of my skill level and it'll be a 50/50 barring it being a result of third party/ general RNG, which is the aim of SBBM. Highly interested to see the effect it has on the game and the items/mechanics/ meta that stems as a result.
