Fortnite Battle Royale

My PUBG woes continue.
Got down to last 2 yesterday, the circle was absolutely tiny and I had tracked the other player to behind a mound. He kept quickly sticking his head up until I finally got a shot away which hit him but didn't kill him. He came around where I was waiting for him and bang "network lag" message right at the crucial moment. He took me out and that was it, controller nearly went through the tv. Haven't had the heart to turn it back on since.
 
No way, that sucks mate. Keep at it and you'll get that win.

I'm up to 6 wins now on PUBG. 3 solo, 3 duo, once you get that first one in it gets so much easier! Game is running a hell of a lot better on Xbox since the latest update as well which is nice.
 
this will make you laugh.

I got to the final 3 last week, was nicely hidden in a building but wanted to try and flush the 2 others out.

I threw a grenade out the window, fine.

Threw a Molotov. It hit the window frame and burnt me alive HAHAHA
 
Haha brilliant. I killed me and my mate in a duos game with a frag that clipped the frame and bounced back into the house we were in. He was pretty happy with me after that :D
 
My kids (10 and 8) are really good on Fortnite, gaining a couple of wins. They begged me to play and my best is a top 20 and one kill!!! Need to do more me thinks...
 
Had a few 2nd places but no chicken dinner yet. Was ready to boot my PC out he window last night as the game kept lagging at crucial moments, was about to turn it off when I noticed my game server had changed to the Asian server, kind of made sense that the people killing me were called Yueng or Chinese_Bob.

Got rid of the lag by going back to the EU server.

Best moment so far, was checking the map while driving a Dacia and just as I went back to the game screen, the car launched off the top of a cliff into the lake below, must have looked really odd. Might try and find the replay and post it up to Youtube
 
I have no idea what this Fortnite game is, but some of my mates were playing it last night (can see on the PS menu what people are playing). From reading this topic it sounds like Hunger Games or something.

PUBG is miles better mate, Fortnite is just a free game which is kinda fun for a quick blast but you have zero chance of winning unless you buy add on packs.
 
Add-ons for Fortnite are only visual aren't they? At least they were when I played it. PUBG has well and truely taken over since it came out.

You see other players with armour and helmets on, you couldn't pick that up in regular play afaik. They also seem to have unlimited bricks for buildings which again you need to buy to get that amount.
 
The armour and helmets don't provide any extra health though like PUBG, they're purely visual. Not sure about unlimited resources, haven't seen that.

Have to disagree, my son plays it, he is 12 and has won 3 times, plenty of top 5 finishes. I bought him the Sean 3 pass but nothing else. Playing Xbox 1, no hacking or eating which is rife on PUBG on the PC where I or he would play it.

Maybe that's the thing then, too many kids playing it and not giving us oldies a chance 😂
 
Doubt it. Seems as though Microsoft are trying to buy Bluehole and trying really hard to ensure PUBG stays an Xbox exclusive on console.
 
Was down to the last three the other night, was only a couple of feet away from the white line, blue line right behind me, I was prone, knew where one guy was had an inkling on the other due to gun fire, started to crawl into the small circle, blue line moved and it was almost instant death, I was half in the white and half out with one guy in my sights, talked about gutted. Thing was I couldn't go crouch or I would've been seen and shot.
