The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...

  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

Oh no, my shooty game has a vote map where I can't kill supporters there. This is not freedom! Yeah its dumb, but it makes sense its not a real fortnite map that you play on.

Oh god, this is an official thing...

Anyway, what's the expectation if you disable shooting in a shooting game? So much fun, I could... run around and stuff.

They tried to do a themed Among Us game, but when they removed the ability of crewmates to criticize each others' votes it just made the imposters win every round

e; That was a joke (probably should be obvious, but I'm not trying to spread disinformation out here)

fortnite's kinda trying to pull off roblox tho, like their minigames are fullh scriptable in UE4

They're trying to do every type of game and act like Fortnite is it's own OS/device, in a sense. It has racing, it has Lego, it has building, it has guitar hero

Next up: a racing game where you can’t drive any of the cars. Should be a pretty unique experience.

I don't play fortnite and I tend to like experimental media. The article has once reviewer calling the map "more thoughtful than expected", and I'm also getting the sense that no-gun maps aren't anything new.

I still think it's not as weird and terrible as the click-hungry legacy media has been inviting us to find it. It's a genuine seeming effort to reach younger people less likely to vote or read about policy ideas. It's just a shame it didn't catch on much.
