Fortnite Party Royale

Anybody play this social mode of Fortnite? People are touting it as a virtual world similar to Second Life.

I've played Fortnite but I have yet to try Party Royale.

I am not familiar. This article makes a lot of references comparing in to second life.

It’s only been live for a few days but already it feels like what the early-millennium online social experiment Second Life could have been if it had been built by game designers rather than Californian internet eggheads.

Fortnite Party Royale is the most fun you can have in the metaverse

ETA: This sounds interesting but on this slowish connection it's going to take hours to download the 28 Gigs of Fortnite.

Not interested in a game populated by 13-year-olds (or kids pretending they are that old).

Or adults that never progressed beyond 13.

Saw an article a few days back in forbes about fortnite trying to be the next Second Life...
‘Fortnite’ Party Royale Will Become ‘Second Life’ On Its Way To Being The Metaverse

It takes more than fancy avatars and dancing in a club to be a metaverse. I'll probably keep tabs on it to see if they branch out more, but as is, it wouldn't hold my attention for more than 5 minutes.

I feel like Creative is closer to SL since it has building.

What is this Creative of which you are speaking?

I feel like Creative is closer to SL since it has building.

Creative mode probably is the closest, though it isn't SL. Being more like Blue Mars with instanced islands for people to build stuff in. As in build with pre-made props/buildings, not import meshes or build with prims. Also Fortnite is nothing like SL in the fashion department.

I only play the oft-ignored PVE Save The World mode.

That statement couldn't be more true.
