A full blown rant on six chapters worth of collaborations for Fortnite.
Not only bringing in history but a lot of violent ways to kill people. Yet you wanna bring that to what's mostly being played by kids? Artist Jean-Michael Basquiat I never heard of him. This is a weird case since he's passed away in the late 80s. I felt a bit creeped out they put something of his into the game.
In particular, literately nearly every franchise you possibly could name is in here!!! Considering it's such a popular online multiplayer game that's not stopping!!! The original collaboration I could find involves several YouTube content creators aka YouTubers. They crossed over with Marvel a couple times!!!
Of course, they need to bring in sports!!! Wreck-It Ralph sorta works in a few ways. Marshmello is a famous DJ as well as record producer I never heard of him before!!! I bet a lot of people recall having something NERF usually toy guns. Yeah they crossed over with that too. I'm also aware majority of the players playing this are kids to early teens.
Star Wars is another franchise they kept crossing over with. John Wick also among those franchises that kept coming back for more. Hopper from Stranger Things is in this but not in Dead by Daylight wow!!! They also crossed over with the famous shoes brand Air Jordan. Major Lazer being another group of people that does music.
Borderlands is a little out there for a game like this. DC another franchise that kept coming back!!! Streamer Ninja came to the game, used to be known for playing it. Rapper Travis Scott also in the game. Does anyone remember a show called Punk'd? Yeah they crossed over with the famous prank show.
They also crossed over with an app called Houseparty I honestly never heard of it. A movie called Tenet also crossed over, I never heard of this either!!! Singer Kenshi Yonmezu again I never heard of him. Seriously how often do I need to keep saying that? Streamer Loserfruit in the game as well this is getting rather annoying.
Who really cares if any of those streamers actually in the game or not. If they're playing it there's a chance I might come by to watch for a little bit. Rocket League is an interesting one because that too had a lot of cross overs. Very few of them were console exclusive like Sweet Tooth's Ice Cream Truck.
You actually do drive vehicles in Fortnite. So far the one cross over making sense. Yeah I know a huge stretch!!! An online game called Battle Breakers crossed over I never heard of it. Singer J Balvin also in the game, I never heard of him either!!! They had to bring in Ghostbusters oh I mean of course they had to!!!
YouTuber Lachlan Power again never heard of him also I don't care!!! Kratos from God of War in this I don't get it. Yes I know who exactly is Kratos. I'm also aware it's the newer Norse mythology version that's in the game. Halo is also in this wow Microsoft how much did you guys pay for this? The Walking Dead is a franchise better suited for Mortal Kombat or a game you kill in.
I meant to directly finish someone off not in that sense sick bastards. To end their lifes in a more brutal matter is fitting of The Walking Dead. YouTuber TheGrefg I never heard of him either!!! Not to be rude but how many of them needs to be playable in this game? Here's a personal favorite I need to get caught up on the movies.
Predator is in the game I sorta see how that works. Then again I go back to what I said about The Walking Dead. Same with Terminator, now that's among my favorite sci-fi franchises ever!!! Despite all the confusing time lines bs. G.I. Joe is in this as well. More recently, it's a franchise you remember something about but not quite sure what?
Tron also crossed over that somehow kept getting movies. I barely played any Tron games myself. The most I know was a particular episode of Dexter's Laboratory directly inspired by the movie. Of course, Capcom had to bring in Street Fighter!!! I could understand crossing over in fighting games.
Fortnite is more of a battle royale shooter game with so many people playing at once. Here's an franchise my wife loves a lot Alien!!! Yeah I could see an Xenomorph driving around a map lol. By this point I'm starting to think they'll go for who ever sells. YouTuber, LazarBeam again I never heard of him.
Lara Croft also in the game just seems a little out of place. Well more in place than in Dead by Daylight!!! Athlete Neymar again I never heard of him. Personally I prefer sports being their own video games!!!! They also crossed over with a game franchise called Horizon I never heard of it. They also done a cross over with a novel series called Mistborn.
I never heard of these books before. They also crossed over with Superplastic. It's a business for animated celebrities. They also made some vinyl toys along with digital collectibles. I had to look them up since I never heard of them either!!! Rick & Morty has a few cross overs as well. Easy Life as in the band along with The O2 being a famous location.
Yeah you know you're desperate when you start bringing in locations!!! The band now going by Had Life since then. Space Jam: A New Legacy including basketball player LeBron James showed up. No disrespect to James but that Looney Tunes movie sucked!!! Streamer Bugha also in the game.
Once again I never heard of him!!! Also what is seriously up with a lot of these usernames? You also know you're desperate when a famous car dealer company ties in. I'm talking about Ferrari, not my kind of car!!! YouTuber Gildedguy I never heard of em once again!!! Although a quick look at the videos I might check em out a little more.
Musician Ariana Grande also in the game. I guess musicians needs more money. Free Guy as in the movie crossed over. I seen clips it's kinda stupid to be honest. Time as in the famous magazine crossed over. WOW we may just reached a new low in desperation!!! Bad Boys as in the movie franchise also showed up.
This was before Smith smacked Chris Rock at the Oscars. The famous clothing brand Balenciaga I never heard of. I swear that's becoming the unofficial recurring joke for this. Songwriter Mohamed Hamaki once again I never heard of him showed up. Universal Classic Monsters meant to tie in to Halloween more.
Also Universal Classic Monsters is very retro. Not many kids going to know a single of those horror movies!!! Artist Kaws I never heard of him either!!! Although the little I seen of their work I liked to a degree. Dune as in a famous novel that had a few adaptations. In particular they went for the newer movie version.
Resident Evil had to show up I guess Capcom isn't getting enough milking lol. You bet that milk already turned sour somehow not running out. A sketch comedy show called Chespirito also crossed over. I never heard of this either!!! League of Legends in a way makes sense here because a famous online multiplayer game franchise.
You know you reached the bottom of a barrel when board games starts to cross over. Especially in games that doesn't make any sense coughs this game!!! Of course I'm talking about Monopoly, which is a personal favorite of mine. Naruto wasted no time getting into the game. This is going to be a rather unpleasant hot take.
Naruto ruined ninjas the same way Twilight ruined vampires for me. The band Radiohead crossed over as well. Fashion brand Monclear again I never heard of them. Is this a message I need to buy more clothes? Gears of War came to the game as well. I'm split down the middle on this franchise being here. Personally I really didn't expect to see this franchise here!!!
In one direction, a lot of the game play could match up to Fortnite. But some of what you actually do can be rather violent like using an Lancer to chainsaw someone!!! Of course, The Matrix had to show up in some form. Personally they shouldn't rushed two of the sequels. For the love of God, I really wish The Matrix Resurrections never existed!!!
The spin off show Cobra Kai also crossed over. This doesn't even make sense since that's an martial arts show. Musicians Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak showed up together. Seriously what's up with your name .Paak? Uncharted which is a Sony exclusive game franchise. Which also had a movie came to Fortnite.
From my understanding Uncharted is more like Indiana Jones as well as Tomb Raider than this!!! Tennis player Naomi Osaka also in the game. I will confess I do like Tennis to a degree not my favorite though. Doctor Who also made an appearance. Segway Inc. as in manufacturer of two-wheeled personal transporters came to the game.
Snowboarder Chloe Kim yeah you guess it another athlete in the game. Yes I'm going the distance to rant this. Assassin's Creed doesn't even make sense being here. For those not familiar with the franchise. You play as people whose related to historical assassins. You get to experience many things your ancestors went through.
Not only bringing in history but a lot of violent ways to kill people. Yet you wanna bring that to what's mostly being played by kids? Artist Jean-Michael Basquiat I never heard of him. This is a weird case since he's passed away in the late 80s. I felt a bit creeped out they put something of his into the game.
Look I'm not trying to disrespect the guy. It just seems questionable why do the collaboration? They also tie in to Coachella, a famous music and arts festival. In a way it makes sense to do that. But it also still felt out of place here. Amercian hip-hop collective called Wu-Tang Clan showed up.
YouTuber Chica also crossed over I'm getting so sick of this. Again I never heard of her why isn't Chica Spanish for the word bitch? RoboCop also made an appearance I sorta see how that could work. Personally I prefer his appearance in Mortal Kombat 11. YouTuber Ali-A not to be confused with Ali-G!!!
Again I never heard of him they must've been desperate!!! Unofficial as in the eyewear brand also showed up. Pac-Man finally joins in on the madness. Indiana Jones is just out of place as many franchises. Among Us also came aboard Fortnite this is just weird!!! A game about one or more people pretending to be members of the crew trying to kill everyone.
Indirectly it's like a free for all in several games. But Among Us is more about a game of wits with being careful who you trust. Galaxian as in the classic arcade game also in there. The Notorious B.I.G. aka Biggie Smalls deceased rapper in the game. The famous card game, Magic: The Gathering showed up as well.
Seriously I never understood how to play that!!! WWE I had a notable history watching growing up. Yet how am I suppose to take this seriously? Of course, Dragon Ball had to make an appearance!!! This is very out of place for a game need to use melee weapons or guns to take out people!!!
Destiny as in the game franchise also in Fortnite. If I end up skipping people it's because I would've said the same things again. Evil Dead including Ash Williams in the game!!! He made more sense in well anything horror!!! Goat Simulator 3 this is easily one of the weirdest by far. From what I played of Goat Simulator Remastered.
It's a comical sandbox game with some funky physics. We're bringing one very out there game franchise into this!!! Doom finally joins in on the fun with Doom Slayer!!! Again Doom is more over the top violent as of the newer entries. The Witcher up to a point it's game company used to own PC gaming service GOG.
I prefer his guest appearance in SoulCalibur VI. I already reached the point too recurring themes I'll stop bringing up. My Hero Academia also made an appearance. Considering they already brought in both Marvel and DC!!! They needed even more super heroes!!! Especially in a game that's about eliminating other players with weapons.
Dead Space a famous action survival horror game franchise. I felt the same about Alien being in this. Rocky as in the movie franchise showed up. Sadly they went for Adonis Creed. It sucked Stallone had the franchise stolen from him. Of course, Attack on Titan had to show up. A franchise about what's left of humanity trying to survive against flesh eating giants!!!
At least Fortnite handled the franchise better than Dead by Daylight not sorry!!! Artist Yoshitaka Amano a legend in the anime industry collaborated. Somehow we knew Transformers had to come to Fortnite. It's somewhat out of place but they do use weapons similar to the game. The Elder Scrolls another famous game franchise showed up.
Very out of place being more distant past with more medieval style weaponry. Plus a strong usage of magic it just doesn't work here. Futurama also showed up with the opposite problem. Futurama might be a little too futuristic. I highly doubt parents wants Bender to say his famous line. Jujutsu Kaisen is very out of place here.
We have fighting evil spirits essentially what cursed spirits are. They used a move set using cursed energy to face em. Someone had to been on a lot of drugs here!!! The Nightmare Before Christmas is quite out there as well. Yes I get the franchise came to tie in with Halloween. But that's also technically an Christmas movie.
For me it's a bit creepy seeing many actions as Jack Skellington!!! Michael Myers from Halloween showed up a little similar to his Call of Duty appearances. Which the first of I heavily disliked!!! Alan Wake even made an appearance in this. Invincible was a comic book series. Obviously they're using the animated show version of the characters.
Personally I really prefer Omni-Man's appearance in Mortal Kombat 1. Family Guy showed up starting with Peter Griffin. Metal Gear now that's an franchise worth bringing in. So far one of the few crossovers to actually make sense!!! LEGO as in the famous toys brand made an alternate version of the game.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles finally showed up!!! The turtles been crossing over a lot in video games. Avatar: The Last Airbender started to show up. I just never was a fan myself. Fallout actually does make sense to bring here. Lethal Company, yes the famous online multiplayer game showed up.
Pirates of the Caribbean came out of no where or at least that what it seems to me. Personally stick with the first two movies forget the rest. Fall Guys, the online multiplayer competition game shows up. I'm also aware Fall Guys done a lot of cross overs too!!! Honestly, I'm confuse where exactly these two meet in the middle?
The Incredibles why not even more super heroes? Billy as in the famous Saw doll is a playable cosmetic for characters. For me it's creepy people make the doll playable. Edward Scissorhands yes the famous Tim Burton movie showed up in this!!! The Texas Chainsaw Massacre bringing Leatherface into this!!!
Yeah good idea to introduce kids to a guy who wears other people's faces!!! I will finish up criticizing the entire Chapter 6 worth of collaborations. I won't do Chapter 7 to up unless people surprisingly wants me to. Big Hero 6 oh come on!!! Do we need more super heroes in this? Godzilla finally shows up in Fortnite with more MonsterVerse on the way.
Unreal Tournament with a connection to a show called Secret Level. Unreal Tournament used to be those competitive online multiplayer games. You would see all the time being played. Kaiju No. 8 is another weird choice. It's actually sorta like Attack on Titan in a few ways. The main character can transform into a giant monster to fight other giant monsters.
Avatar as in the famous blue warrior alien race franchise shows up. Mortal Kombat had to get in on the action. Somehow better than Mortal Kombat: Defender of the Realms show. Cowboy Bebop is a timeless classic within everything anime. Parts of it is a bit too futuristic for Fortnite. Adventure Time as in the famous cartoon show also in the game.
Knight Rider in particular the famous talking car K.I.T.T. in the game!!! King of the Hill along with Bob's Burgers came into the game. I just wasn't too interested Bob's Burgers. King of the Hill is a bit of a required taste after awhile. Squid Game is in between since a lot of characters plays kid games with death.
The concept is a little too extreme for kids. Mighty Morphin Power Rangers also in this!!! I know this plays into more super heroes. But this might be a little too strange to bring in. One Punch Man brings in more super heroes it's starting to get old. Deep Rock Galactic could work since the dwarves has guns.
Beavis and Butt-Head just doesn't make any sense. Yes I would say the same thing about their appearance in a Call of Duty game!!! The Binding of Isaac is a famous indie game with a ridiculous game completion percentage. Hey does anyone know what percentage it stops at? Ghostface from Scream shows up it just doesn't make any sense!!!
Ghostface in Mortal Kombat 1 yeah that makes sense. Ghostface in Dead by Daylight yes!!! But Ghostface in Call of Duty doesn't at all!!! Scooby-Doo also showed up another out there cross over. Most things Scooby-Doo has the gang solving mysteries. The Black Phone that's becoming a popular horror movie franchise also in the game.
Jason Voorhees from Jason Universe in the game. More recently Jason came to Dead by Daylight. Officially this Tuesday he's in the game. Art the Clown from Terrifier also in the game. A rather violent slasher villain to have in a popular online game with kids playing good idea!!! If my one of my guesses correct for tomorrow, Art coming to Dead by Daylight soon.
Dumb Ways to Die, a video game joined in. Poppy Playtime a famous mascot horror indie game franchise also in the game. The Addams Family in particular Wednesday Netflix show included. R.E.P.O. which still in Early Access is another famous online multiplayer horror game. It's a bit similar to Lethal Company in a few ways.
The Simpsons finally showed up being their biggest video game crossover to date. Hard to believe all those franchises plus more on the way. Majority of these collaborations are cosmetics. We already reached a point we have one too many in here!!! This is like a kid at a toy store but everything looks so good they can't decide on which toy to get.
A large amount of them were musicians which quickly gotten annoying. A few different brands of several things was getting very difficult to keep track of. Streamers/YouTubers was quickly pulling up too!!! Even excluding all of that, this is way too much!!! I can't even think of a thing that nearly sum up exactly how I feel.
Somehow I felt any ground we didn't touch yet. Eventually going to through these collaborations. A large amount of them are heavily playing off nostalgia. Nostalgia can only get you so far!!! In all honestly, this has to be the most ridiculous competitive online multiplayer game I ever heard of!!! They should rename the game to CrossWorlds: Renewal Nostalgia!!!
