Myself as well feels the same way with some of these games, its weird. The battle royale genre was very exciting to me and i always was fond of the idea since the books and movie Hunger Games. What i loved was Minecraft: Hunger Games, i had a absolute blast at the game mode within Minecraft. It really sparked my excitement for this new genre of game. While i never played Day z or Pub G, i always heard bad things about the games.
Fortnite was different for me. I loved it. I had a PS4 so i always had time to play games. I started playing at the beginning when it was released in September. I played it everyday with my friends. I loved the battle pass I thought it was genius that you pay ten dollars, get a bunch of skins, pickaxes, emotes and more. They also gave you enough V bucks to repurchase the following seasons battle pass. Until season 6 happened. This is where all the love i had for the game fell down enormously. Epic kept releasing patches after patches of things i personally didn't like, it was very frustrating for me. I also stopped getting that feeling of Adrenalin when I won a game as User @GettingonwithGamingLife mentioned. Yes, i still played the game, only because my friends still loved it and it was the only popular game at the time. I will always love Fortnite and always support the core of the game, It was my first true battle royale and i wasn't half bad at the game. User @K-Real spoke of learning different patterns within the game such as bullet drops, recoil, and spawn locations and i think that was my most thing i disliked about fortnite, Its completely random if you win.
Call of Duty's: Black Ops 4: Blackout was horrible to me. I love Call of duty, I've played it since Black ops 1 so i was very excited for another black ops game to release and even better the game was releasing with a battle royale mode! Fortnite was still being played and I really thought this game could finally find my personal niche of battle royale games just because i had love the Call of Duty play style, and get my friends off of Fortnite. We played multiplayer for the initial release of the game and I also put an unhealthy amount of time playing that as well. I finally stopped playing multiplayer and i finally get to play "Blackout". We ended up hardly playing, the game was very slow to me, the looting system was not good to me and i had difficulty navigating through the inventory. I stopped playing after a month.
Now i play Apex legends and i personally enjoy what the game has to offer. People who say "but will it kill fortnite" are annoying to me because a person who likes the game will always the game they enjoy most. I Since its new I haven't gotten the vibe that my enjoyment is running out.I don't think these games are going anywhere anytime soon as well. Fortnite is still very popular with the younger generation and i personally don't know when it will "die". Apex reached 10 million players in just 3 days when it was released and recently hit 50 Million players and is soon releasing a battle pass alongside legends. I hope Apex finds my niche and i can finally enjoy this genre.
