Re: That was a fun 2 months.

Interesting video and I don't normally bother, it also has valid points to it.

Maybe this will go down as a case study for the ephemeral pointlessness of 'inlfuencers' and how quickly their 'influence' evaporates when the money they are doing something for dries up and they go back to - in this case - Fortnite because it is where their main business is.

Also - these streamers are going to primarily influence under 16s, maybe under 12s, AL isn't really aimed at their demographic like Fortnite is who can be herded around at the will of a developer's marketing budget.

I tried Fortnite again last week after only 4 rounds when it first launched, after 2 rounds I uninstalled it as a childish java game marketed at children.

What adult wants to play a game where someone is running around building fences behind them as they run?  Ninja, but at $500k a week I would guess any adult would tolerate such childishness.

I would say a Lego game is more appealing to adults, I have a lot of them.

And the last point - that you realise there is nothing there after a while, the emperor's new clothes, the AL IP is great - on a par with Borderlands in my opinion, but the actual game itself is an empty husk.

I can see no point in playing, I am someone that cannot hit anything or kill anyone even when they are downed, despite having few problems in other games.

You drop and with the now faster ship and the teams are spread out more but you get wiped even quicker with players with just a handgun, I get more damage with punches and grenades than I do with any gun.

There seem to be three distinct strata of players - normal ones with approximately what kills you would expect them to have at their level and under 100 and also who miss, the pros who have x00 and constitute a problem for the normals as they are 75%-100% accurate, and the evolved humans with x000 kills, x000 head shots, x0 season 1 wins and 100% accuracy and NEVER miss, they make machines look inefficient and accident prone.

Normals - me - serve no real purpose with the other two groups other than as fodder or padding, even if you make it to the top 5 teams the other 2 strata sort of fire in your direction and you are dead in under 1 second.

I would buy an AL single player game without a thought, otherwise I am contenting myself with the not very good Overwatch free week, a couple of games of the not very good Quake Champions a day, the not very good Hearthstone every 3 days and in the absence of anything of better quality - which is really scraping the bottom of the gaming barrel - retail TF2 bought in 2009.

This?  Couldn't care less about solo mode, I just want a better gaming experience for normal players with engine improvements and the segregation of players who are playing 5 different online games at once and winning every one.

Until then I don't see pretending it is going to change after nearly 70 hours ingame nor waste any more time.
