Why Are Fortnite And PUBG So Popular Compared To Other Types of Games?

Fortnite And PUBG These two games against each other you'll know they have both taken the world by storm in quite a short amount of time if you are not familiar with the games we can tell you that the basic concept is a kind of every-man-for-himself or fight to the death scenario in which you are dropped off in a foreign land and have to use your skills to navigate this new world and exterminate anything that gets in your way.

the latest report tells us that fortnight now has over 45 million users and more than three million concurrent players with pub G not far behind.

But why are these games so popular?

that's what we'll find out today.
why our fortnight battle royale and player unknowns battlegrounds

so popular compared to other types of games so how do we judge popularity in terms of the game strategy they are both quite similar the biggest differences are in the worlds you inhabit the maps you navigate and the graphics.

so when we are talking about popularity we could say that these games are attractive for many of the same reasons but at the same time different reasons before we look at what the players say let's take a look at what the media says first of all most gaming experts and even the creator of pubG say the inspiration behind these games was the Japanese movie battle royale that makes sense of course you could also say that Hunger Games was also a massive inspiration

As one gamer writes on medium the immediate appeal is being dropped off in a foreign land and having to survive on your wits while collecting things which will help you survive psychologically this appeals to most of us and the fact that it's you playing along with other human beings and not only artificial enemies makes such a scenario way more emotional.

according to the same writer another big appeal at least with pubG is that if you are clever enough you can even come in the top 10 without getting into a fight the same writer also talked about how pub she didn't use traditional marketing.

what's more interesting is what Rolling Stone said about pubG when discussing its nomination for game of the year the magazine wrote that pub G was the dam that broke open a genre that's been building for years people had been waiting for this genre the massive multiplayer fight to the death scenario was the game that had to come and while pubG cracked it open fortnight

put some cherries on the cake and made it more user friendly Rolling Stone says that these games didn't exactly reinvent the wheel fighting to the death is not a concept that was just pulled out of thin air but says the writer the maps were more adventurous than anything seen before you had to be more intuitive when playing and the writer even says that the boredom one might feel when crossing barren land with nothing in sight with pubG at least lends to the games attraction that weighting the intensity the walk in the desert could be called that biblical makes the victory if it should come all the more gratifying.

Nothing is predictable and the journey is a difficult one you have to overcome enormous hurdles and that's why players are so addicted that's according to one aficionado anyway other media say much the same adding that beating ninety nine players gives you great bragging rights this has become an obsession rights polygon overtaking

what minecraft did way back when dropping in with 99 other players either alone or squatting up with your buddies emerging victorious is an achievement rights window central the same writer says.

that another big pull is that alone in this foreign land it is almost guaranteed that something hilarious will happen to you he says and that's why I keep going back because for all the rage over being sniped from an unknown spot something else will happen that's a true WTF moment that'll have me laughing my head off but what about fortnite it's trending higher than Trump.

tech website about fortnight Battle Royale one of the biggest draws is of course that it's free but that's not to undermine how great the game is it's more colorful and playful than pubG so that's a draw for people who want out of the darkness that pubG might offer if you are terrible and die quickly it's easy enough to just start again you can also play on many platforms it's this accessibility that is partly the reason why fortnight has leapfrogged pubG in terms of players.

well another critic says the action is just more fun making the gameplay quite stream worthy the cartoon like violence is not only very playable but also very watchable and fact Newsweek talks about a streamer called ninja who's almost 4 million YouTube fans like nothing more than to see him play this visually entertaining game it's highly addictive fun to play and adds new building mechanics to a playful exterior that's fun for casuals and pros writes Newsbeat adding that if you die in one match then just enter another the hours go by and you realize it's already 3 a.m.in fact most media seem to say the same thing it's just more entertaining and fun than pubG.

---

But keeps the same kind of exhilarating format perhaps more serious players prefer pubG the website PC games think so writing compare it to its biggest rival pubG and fortnight is bright colorful and should be much more appealing to someone who doesn't play many games the conclusion if you were serious and don't mind spending a lot of time alone maybe pub G is better but if you want more in your face fun than fortnight wins oh and Forbes adds to the fortnight pros saying that it is much less buggy not full of cheats mostly from China and keeps offering new content more so than pubG but what are the players think!

when the question was asked on Quora why these games are so popular people said pretty much the same as the media that the idea of facing off against ninety-nine players is just addictive as hell one person writes the idea of one death and you're out leads to a much more strategic style of gameplay the achievement of winning is enough to spur most people to come back. when the question was asked on reddit

why these games are so popular some said they like that you don't need a very powerful computer to play these games especially fortnight other players talked about the intensity of the games especially as you get down to the last few players while pubG fans said that the intensity is far more exhilarating in their game than the cartoonish fortnight there's also the fact that all the matches can throw up many different surprises making the games never feel old another poster on reddit said one of the most addictive aspects is acquiring a certain rank within the game and so the ego gets very involved as you try to outrank friends and strangers on the same thread many users said these games will soon lose their appeal and reach a critical mass are you a fan of either fortnight or pubG.
