It's like Solitaire only harder.

Still playing The Witcher III, great game but a time sink.

 

[Rincewiend]

Ah yes, the Google model... leveraged in a game. Winning combination.

Have you played Fortnite?

Nah, i stick to single player games...

 

[Gingerbread Demon]

I've suddenly started playing games like Gone Home, Firewatch, and such. I don't know why but I'm finding them fun. Very relaxing gameplay, and point and click adventures, I got the Animation Arts collection on steam and that has 6 of them including Lost Horizons and the Secret Files games.

Red Dead Redemption 2

Very behind on the gaming scene... it's like a whole other world if you skip a few years. Can't get over this whole fortnite phenomenon. There are claims that Epic Games is clearing $300 million a month on it? WTH?

trust me, Fortnite is a virtually incomprehensible phenomenon even if you are actively following the industry

As far as I know it is the only game my nephew plays. He used to play Lego Star Wars and Pokémon.

I played it for like an hour and didn't get the appeal, hell I still don't get the appeal. How did this become so popular?

There's no more letters in the alphabet, but we do have numbers

Well, it is said a wide range of demographics play Fortnite, ranging from Gen Z to BabyBoomers. Of course, percentages aren't qualified... so one can only presume that Gen-Z dominates.

I was expecting they'd switch to the Greek alphabet next. Omega is the unnerving one.

in case it was unclear, I was being (mostly) droll

Another great classic, Settlers!!! all the versions, since the beginning of the nineties.

I don't understand the appeal on online gaming, at all.

What is The allure of Fortnite?

Not sure. I downloaded it at the behest of some of my younger friends and I sucked ass at it and promptly deleted it from my hard drive. They play it night after night after night and love it. I had no desire to play it again after two sessions. Granted, I've never been good at online multiplayer, but I kept going back for Red Dead Redemption Online, GTA V Online and Mortal Kombat X Online. Fortnight just never clicked with me though

Yes, it's about cars... not something else...
