10 Video Games Fans Love To Hate

Building is a big part of what makes Fortnite unique. It helped it stand out from the mass of other battle royale games on the market, and is arguably what helped it become such a big success. However, it's also one of the more problematic aspects of the game. It's something that players seem to either love or hate, with both sides feeling strongly about their chosen stance. There are arguments both for and against it, but thankfully, Zero Build Mode lets players have their cake and eat it too. Fortnite 's building changes were good for those who struggled with or didn't enjoy the mechanic, even if they changed the game wildly upon their implementat

Final Fantasy XIV stands as one of the greatest MMORPG games of all time , standing on the same field as WOW and Elder Scrolls Online. The title has crossplay available between Playstation and PC only. Praise for this title certainly also erupts from its lenient subscription, allowing players to play the game without it up until the end of the first expans

The recent introduction of the Zero Build game mode in **Fortnite ** proves that building is the battle royale giant's worst feature. Building, despite being unique, has often been criticized due to its repetitive nature, and after an experimental removal, a game mode without it became a permanent option. Zero Build Mode has highlighted the problems in Fortnite 's building system, and although it doesn't look like it will ever be removed completely, players who don't want to build endless towers at least have a way to bypass

There also isn't much reason not to at least have building as an option, especially since it's such a big part of the game's identity. It's vaulted a lot of good weapons and features, like the Sticky Grenades, so it doesn't need to get rid of something that helped it become the game that it is today. Fortnite could outlast other battle royale games for a long time if it does things right, so it needs to be careful with its permanent changes. Getting rid of building forever doesn't seem like it would do the game much good in the long run, and if it hadn't introduced Zero Build Mode, then players may have ended up demanding that **Fortnite ** return its signature feature eventua

Doctor Who‘s 2005 revivalhas featured some truly thrilling story arcs, and one of the greatest is season 5's Cracks In Time. These sinister cracks appear throughout the Eleventh Doctor’s time in the TARDIS, before returning in "Time Of the Doctor," and one of these time fissures can be glimpsed in Fortnite’s "Doctor Who Muse

Players should note that crossplay for Sea of Thieves only works between two platforms, Xbox and PC. Other than that the game isn't available anywhere else so further crossplay is not a possibility. But those capable should find themselves indulged in the game's mysteries and story, sailing forth for discoveries as many have in the years it's been relea

If Fortnite did make less crossovers, then that would give it more resources to work on its original content. Original characters, storylines, and features have been a bit silly in the past; Peely and the Klombos come to mind. Things like Fortnite 's armored Battle Bus aren't a problem, however, and there's nothing wrong with the game being a little silly. In a time where video games are getting more and more serious, it's refreshing that some choose to offer a whimsical experience, especially when it's a big name like Fortnite . New features and original content, no matter how silly, could be better for the game than an endless string of crossovers, especially since they're making it more than a little silly besi

Per Game Rant , Fortnite: Battle Royale has recently added some of the most iconic Star Wars weapons in history to its playing field, including Darth Vader's legendary Lighsaber. Epic Games has managed to keep the infamous melee consistently engaging with constant updates like this, which often included many unique items that gamers could only experience during brief time frames, and were strictly exclusive to specific seasonal peri

Taking out building also put a stronger emphasis on combat. Without all the material gathering and battlefield control, players could focus on shooting each other to pieces, which is what the game was supposed to be like in the first place. Vehicles also had Grow A Garden game bigger role, like the jetpack Fortnite reintroduced in Chapter 3 Season 2 . The game's many guns and explosives were already a focal point, but they can truly shine without the building features. Although sniping can still remove players from combat somewhat, it's not too much of an issue. Tactics also became more important since players couldn't just build a giant metal fort anywhere they were anymore, leading to professional players coming up with creative new ways to play, and newer and casual ones having an easier t

The most obvious thing that Epic could do to keep Fortnite 's Marvel and DC hero crossovers from taking over is to simply make less of them. No one is forcing Epic Games to put Kratos in a Battle Royale game after all, so the decision is ultimately up to it. More crossovers are likely in the works right now, so it might not be apparent for a while if the studio does decide to ease up on them, but it could go a long way to preserving the dignity of heroes everywhere, and helping Fortnite get back to its ro
