Never played Zelda, so I have no way of knowing if that's an accurate comparison.
I only played Neverwinter for a little bit, because online MMOs tend to be P2W (pay to win) even though the game itself is free to play.
Currently, I'm replaying Mass Effect: Andromeda, a third-person shooter RPG, on my PS4 console. It's the only shooter game I can stand, because it's from a third person perspective rather than a first person viewpoint. From what I've seen, Fortnite is also from a third person perspective, but on the console it's called Fortnite Battle Royale even though it's the same game as the PC version. It's free on the console, too. I might check it out.
Well, I haven't played much of Zelda either... but I just meant a kind of mythical/olde worlde type rpg, as opposed to a shootemup.
By third-person, do you mean in the sense that you see your character... as opposed to just seeing out of their eyes, in which case where you'd just see a gun bobbing up and down as you ran or something? If that's what you mean then yeah, Fortnite is third-person; it would need to be in order to see all the skins/'cosmetics' that you can have in the game. And BTW Fortnite specifically states it's not pay-to-win... you can buy skins etc but nothing that can give you actual advantage in the game, so that's pretty cool, and yeah it's Fortnite Battle Royale that's free... on console or PC... but you can also pay for other versions of Fortnite; but the Battle Royale part is the part that's free but it's still a full standalone game. That's what I've just got now for the PC, but just found that my laptop is not up to the challenge of running it smoothly, so the next job is to buy a console, and the plan at the moment is probably to go for a PS4 Slim version... since i've just read on a forum that it can use a mouse and keyboard with Fortnite if you want to; which I'm in two minds about; part of me would prefer the accuracy and assignability of keyboard vs mouse for this, but another part of me would prefer the ease of use of a control pad. So I could just get both and see which feels better. Anyway, if you do get Fortnite... and if I get a PS4... would you fancy playing it together? Alpha has said he'd be happy to play with people from here. I think that would be great fun
