Why does Bungie get so much defense still when they're Ubisoft levels of anti consumer garbage?
>>735019393People have a connection to bungie because they used to make good games (halo). Ubisoft has been churning out slop since day one
>>735019393dad gamers are paypiggies
>>735019723I know nothing about slay the spire 2. Does it really have hot chicks like that? No wonder it mogged that marathon trash
>>735019393>Why does Bungie get so much defense still when they're Ubisoft levels of anti consumer garbage?It's called Access Journalism, the people who get early access and the latest scoops are the ones who are friends with people in the industry. This creates a toxic relationship where you're literally incentives to shill for corporations because corporations are the ones giving you the news that gives you clicks. You don't need to be paid in cash to be a shill, all it requires is that you somehow benefit from acting in a company's interest
>>735019668No one who is fans of the old shit still regards bungie as the same company.

BUMP BUMP BUMP VERY IMPORTANT THREAD
>>735019998>nu Bungie shills mad because the jeets they outsourced to don't like their gay tranny game
>>735019348butthurt destiny players
>>735020056Damn there is a lot of seethe. I get it, he worked on the game right? he's proud of his little achievement. It's fine to be proud of your work, but if other people don't like it you can't force it with the sheer will of your personality.
>>735020056
>>735019348Hating on shit games is unironically a better sport than sportsball, and it actually has a constructive effect on the economy
>>735019348Paul Tassi needs to take a long walk off a short pier, man. He’s such a blatant shill it’s not even funny.
Resentment is high right nowNo one wants to wait 7 years for a game they dont want to finish development amd then struggle on for like a year then FINALLY we are now working on what you actually want. The dev times, the slowness, the approval requirements for everythingESO and F76 better be remembered as the pyre that Bethesda burned their goodwill on
>>735019393>Why does Bungie get so much defense still because they haven’t burned every fiber of good will yet and also shills
>>735020468wut u talking bout, eso is still getting updates after 12 years, and 76 is more popular than ever
>>735020468I thought that pyre was oblivion
>>735019668ubisoft used to make good gamesjust because you’re not old enough to remember that doesn’t make it untrue
>>735019668>Ubisoft has been churning out slop since day oneRaymanSplinter Cell Prince of Persia
>>735020589Its not about being profitable its about being lame and wasting time Yeah fans, and especially ""fans"", will play them and maybe even spend money. But in exchange theyre engaging with a product thats (somehow) lower quality, and now their most recent memory is late life mmo updates and cash shop peddling. You had an entire tv show planned around fallout NV and you have no remaster ready to go, the best you can do is break F4 again with decades old bugs and make the mmo approachable.These things dont make fans, theyre a furnace for fans money
>>735020264don't buy it and shut up about it? amounts to the same effect and can't think of anything more retarded than the constant shitposting on /v/ about some shit slop of the month, worse than gacha threads desu
Gaming journos are just parasites who exist solely to defend AAA companies. They can't even get their clicks anymore because people have moved on to YouTube channels.
>>735021161Nah. Gotta influence the normalfags in some way too. They're flock animals so if there's more sources saying something is shit, they will also realize that it's shit.
>>735019348Because running 42km is fucking gay.
>>735019348>ruin beloved franchises>surprised when you garner zero good will as a result
>>735020056Marathon took over 5 years to make and all it has to show for it is 3 maps, one enemy and all of its guns recycled from Destiny. If this was any other studio, he would be shitting all over it but he is the Bungie guy so he has to sweep it up.>deserves more praise then it's gettingIt has a 90% on steam of blatantly swept up reviews, is that not enough praise? Maybe when the paid shills who have delayed their reviews for over two weeks or more whenever Cryo Archive comes out will be the praise he thinks the game deserves.The game did poorly and people don't like it, fucking get over it.
>>735019393Because their games arent ubisoft-level gameplay
>>735019348Remember that Paul Tassi invented the "Game released some time ago lost 90% of it"s players blogarticles. Which was always retarded because that is an extremely normal thing.
>>735021161why do you care?
You know, we used to condemn games for a having a fuck ton of microtransactions while costing money to purchase. Microtransactions are only ok in free to play games.
>>735019393Because they're willing to spend millions (billions even) paying streamers and shills to defend them.
>>735020187>saarrr we dont like gay and trannies saarTheres a ton of videos in indian showing jeets literally fucking EVERYTHING, homosexual or not, human or not, living or not.There's a ton of tranny jeets there. Theres even videos of you jeets fucking old geriatric menYou're at the bottom of humanity and I think it's a cruel joke towards mankind to consider jeets human.
>>735021781Yeah but just like with paid online and dlc enough people went "it's just a few bucks, i'm not poor" that this shit became perfectly acceptable
Oh no no no...
Paul Tassi is such an insufferable faggot. Why do these people have jobs? They provide nothing useful.
>>735019348this guy is literally doomposting Marathon at the same time, is he just a grifter?
>>735021982
>>735022106>grifter"""journalist"""
>>735022106he can't spin the terrible player numbers as anything but a negative in both marathon and destiny
>>735021753I care because I browse 4chan too, shit's already polluted by retarded threads, why do you have to spam threads about some shitty game you don't even like?at least gacha fags enjoy cumming to horses or something, that's pathetic but less so than whatever the fuck you're doing here>>735021434yeah you're a real internet warrior, surely you'll bring down the industry by shitposting alone keep on keeping on anon
So threads hating on Martahon antis can stay, but anything shitting on Martahon gets deleted? How much did the jannies get paid by Sony?
>>735020247I can't believe marathon is dead
>>735022498I've noticed this too, seems like there was a shift here. No one liked this game a few days ago but now it seems like everyone's having a blast. Or maybe they're just the retards from /vg/? Or discord trannies? Whatever the case it's a bit weird. Hopefully we can go back to just fully shitting on this shit game soon, they'll get tired. (Or their game will die)
>>735022484>you're a real internet warriorYeah, meanwhile you're not doing anything, just bitching, and then you're surprised that the industry is shit
>>735019348all I know from this guy is that apparently is brown bussy is always acting up, craving for bwc. Why is he posted here again and again?
>>735022719lmao why do you say that like what you're doing is any meaningful?I'm telling you to fuck off with those shit threads, it already amounts to much more than you'll ever achieve in your life retard
Once you realize a lot of the marathon hate are literally paid actors it all makes sense, look at this shit https://files.catbox.moe/qr5s4y.mp4
>>735022106he's a destiny fag and those are in a strange positionif marathon is a success, bungie will abandon destiny completely and it will be deader that it already ison the other hand, if marathon fails, bungie will get shutdown and then destiny will truly be dead
>>735022954That subreddit needs to be studied.
>>735022937Boo-hoo, faggot.
Overwatch had over 200k people playing daily.Marathon can't break 50k on a SATURDAY
>Once you realize a lot of the marathon hate are literally paid actors it all makes sense, look at this shit
Gameplay is actually fun, people just don’t like dying or a challenge apparently
>>735023110wow now all we need is proof that's a single guy and for him to post it 100 more times and it'll be somewhat similar LOL

>>735019348Do these creatures truly not understand that their actions and general attempts to offend people did, in fact, have that outcome, and as a result there's a large amount of people who simply despise them?
this is the 7th paul tassi thread i see in just the last 4 dayswhy is he shilling himself here?
>>735023293kys mentally ill tranime avatarfag
>>735019348His fucking job is to write and he can't figure out that there's ambiguity about what "as a sport" refers to in the sentence he wrote.
>>735023197They don'tThat's why we're always seeing people advocate for an easy mode for souls games and shit like that
>>735022989yeah figures, we have shills so why not fucking corporate sabotage too, that or neckbeards who have nothing better to do with their lives>>735023050yeah absolute retard has nothing to say, how predictable
>>735023352Okay brown, settle down. Your betters are speaking.
>>735023402We didn’t gage keep hard enough
>>735020056Mastas been cracking the whip. Poor Tassi, stuck forever being Bungie's bitch.
maratrannies mad
wonder when his article on how marathon lost a third of its playerbase in a week is coming out.
>>735022989at this point you posted more of this mp4 than he posted these images.
>>735022989ABSOLUTE FUCKING STATE, no wonder the jannies are deleting their shit
Third worlders trying to earn x money and the dumbass kids trying to fit in. Pretty simple answer. It's a good shooter with a lot of depth priced at $40. Only a nigger could complain.
>>735023298Paul Tassi is better at video games than modern /v/, he can actually play Marathon as an example. And his discussions are more constructive.
>>735022989Pathetic
Hilarious how the shills all show up in the thread at the same time.
>>735023720Aw poor baby's echo chamber not going as expected?
>>735023197Modern people are fucking soft, not even just gamers. We are post SBMM, post EOMM, post aggression based matchmaking. Everyone is used to being in a kids sandbox where the game algo ensures they get the proper dopamine drip feed, it's so pathetic to hear people praise modern vidya for being a hugbox.
AIIIIIIIIIIIIE BLAST SISTERS WW@
>>735019668>Ubisoft has been churning out slop since day oneRetard.
>>735023805Nigga you're shilling live service slop made by people that hate you
>>735023642>the numbers keep getting lower as the video goes on
>>735022002nepotism. Thats it. It's actually shocking how many of the worst "journalists" from kotaku work at Bloomberg now. Pic related is their "deep fake and AI expert"
>>735023613Unironically this
>>735023298He's one of those public personalities that gets flak from everyone for being a shill for and against whatever you can think of.No one ever accuses him of being a bit bland, though, which I think is actually his worst trait as an individual, but for his corpo job at Forbes it's perfect.
>>735023872>shillingI'm simply having a blast

>>735022989PRO-TIP: Disney ran this same campaign against Joker 2 and anons did the leg work for free. Somebody realized that if they can incite the autists, they will sink a product for you, no legwork required by the corporation themselves. Culture wars are intentionally stoked and dumb kids (and sub IQ third worlders) are falling for it every single time.>Inb4 not your personal armyNo, you're a voluntary corpo-army, fighting to sink products on behalf of other corporations (Embark Studios, Microsoft)
>>735024020>n-no ulol limp dick ass reply
>>735019348Because Bungie is a woke troon studio so everything they do should fail by default
>>735023872Conservatoids still trying to whip out "they hate you!!!" as the hour of them literally being told to die for israel approaches is pretty classic
>>735023613What depth does the game have? Go into detail
reminder that if you play gacha, your opinion on marathon doesn't matter
Dont forget they had to cancel GDC talks about how to release a good live service game over this whole thing lmao
>>735023642Believe it or not, but some people already Marathoned (lol) to top tier loot and are waiting for the big boss to unlock. Realistically you could get gold level weapons overflow within 30-40 hours.
>>735020056Such a good game that it's gonna shutdown in less than a year
>>735020056If it's "a very good game", and it has Sony's AAA marketing behind it, then there's no reason why it shouldn't be selling like hotcakes. Clearly there are aspects to it that are off-putting to its target audiences. Having decent gunplay alone isn't enough to make a game "good".
735023613 735022989 735021161 735022484 735023805 735023197 735023973 735024056735024090So true..

>>735022484You're a Redditor
>>735019348This bitch, like every other journo, will desperately defend the AAA industry because it's the only access they have with which to write their meaningless little articles and 'scoops'.Indies don't need them and don't give a fuck about them, and so they won't give them shit. So if AAA slowly goes down the drain these journos will go down with them.This is what peak irrelevance looks like.
>>735019348Because people like seeing souless corporate dogshit fail after over a decade of having corporatations completely destroy AAA vidya. Cry and bitch all you want, you arent changing people's views. Conform to what gamers want or die, either way I have effectively infinite games to play and you need to convince me why I should give your slop the time of day.
>>735023720I listened to you piss and moan for an entire two weeks now you gotta listen to me fucker.
leftoids defending corporations is always fun to see
>>735023293You are correct
>>735024078By 'they hate you' I meant Bungie has been slowly but surely killing any good will they've had as a studio since Destiny 2 released but of course you're a direction brained monkey
>>735024184It'll get shut down, but once it does we won't hear retards like you anymore.It's always the same.
>>735024078Nobody here is a cuckservative. Nice pilpul
>>735023110was just about to post the same shit lol
Anyone wanna queue up? Add me on steam
>>735024184I'm having a blast cheating in this game using Makima. Cry about it
>>735024078>ConservatoidsHoly fuck can you Leftoids come up with something of your own for a change?
>Bungie thought Star Wars would save Destiny and an extraction shooter would save their studio Yeah they deserve to die

>>735024297The entire destiny series was always trash from D1, actually.

>>735024219Nta but we dont need to do anything. YOU must convince us to give a shit. You work for us. I can go my entire life ignoring your shill shit. Can you say the same?
>>735021982According to several estimates sites, it didn’t even break a million. Some even had to deduct 100k from their estimates.
>>735024443>leftists>take responsibility
>>735024235The mental gymnastics they employed when pride month pandering started dropping off a cliff circa 2023 were hilarious. They were trying to correlate the revelation of corporations being cynical panderers with somehow being genuine sentiment and care for fags on their part.
Wven normalfags just want the AAA industry to fucking crash. You cant churn out a decade of slop and then be surprised when every laughs at you finally getting whats coming to you
>half the people sperging over this game are scorned destiny players>their OP is literally a marathon screencap and they talk about the game non-stop
>>735019668>People have a connection to bungie because they used to make good games (halo)Nah, if they were a solo studio no one would have defended them, this is purely because they're now a Sony studio.

>>735024706The people in that general are the most pathetic posters on this site and it's completely kept alive by a single loser pedo
>>735024654It really says a lot about how insidious Destiny was as a game that Bungie making a game that is actually pretty fun on its own merits instead of heroin designed to be disappointing 90% of the time is cause for such outrage from them
>>735023298Marathon's the first fps I've gotten into in over a decade and it's pretty funny how my twitter feed is now full of people I've never heard of before like this Tassi guy but apparently they're known names. Like who the fuck is this peanut guy, his clips are so annoying that I can't believe people watch him unironically. I saw Shroud playing it, I haven't heard that name in forever and I just assumed he was still playing Counter Strike. Same with TimTheTatMan, I haven't heard that name in so long that I forgot the guy existed. I only knew him as one of the guys that played with Jericho though, so I don't really know anything about him.
>>735024706destiny is just dead, even something like a mid season qol patch was delayed over 3 and a half months. as far as we know expansions are delayed indefinitely.
>>735024795Thief has better maps which is like half of making a good stealth game although ct is at minimum runner up
Saaars another 6000 player drop has hit the Maaarathon
>>735024654Guess they should have made Destiny better huh? Why should I care about their poor past choices affecting their current product? Maybe work on repairing your reputation than employing a legions of shills.
>>735020247This is the Boston bombing of video gaymes
>>735020056>>735019348From everything I understand, Marathon isn't a BAD game. It's just an OK game. It's the OKAYEST game with nothing special about it, it has those core good shooter mechanics that Bungie used to be famous for.But that's not enough? It's in a fucking packed market, it needs a hook, something to stand out. People who still want to play Apex Legends will play Apex Legends, people who want to play a hero shooter will play overwatch or marvel rivals, people who want to play PVE will play Arc Raiders or Hunt Showdown.That irish fag bellular unironically had a good comparison when he said that trying to launch the same game but slightly different in this market and for a live service ecosystem is like trying to launch an alternate football league (something billionaires have done repeatedly in the USA and failed at)>>735019668The only real connection zoomers have to Bungie comes from helmetman Mandalore video's on the OG marathon making them thing that Marathon is some THE DEEPEST LORE good writing scifi thriller. Unironically they would've been better served making a mass effect clone, except Bungie has always been shit at writing and gets hard carried by hire ons they shove to the side.>>735024538I read that comment as the opposite. It's surprising how good it turned out considering how much development hell got poured into it since these things are usually a disaster>>735024863And that's the other thing. People have been burned by Bungie for years and fans have followed the sordid story of their buyout. Nobody trusts or likes them anymore.>>735024894Paul Tassi is just the sidekick/understudy of Erik Kain who made Forbes media coverage of videogames famous by opposing the common narrative of "gamers entitled" during the Mass Effect 3 debacle. Kain has gone on to capture an audience by continuing to give hot takes on popular-unpopular media (particularly by shitting on Nu Star Wars content) and Tassi is just kinda... there.
U-uh, shillsisters...?
>>735019393Bungie makes a shit game once every five years or so.Ubisoft averages out an awful game around once a year.People are far more saturated with Ubishit, similar to EA and Activision.
>>73502517030k loss in ten days. That's a 45% drop. If the game only loses 5k per week from this point on, it'll be dead in about 12 weeks.
>>735019348Why would I buy a full-priced game that's just literally "extraction shooter" for "babies." I hate easy gun mechanics; I HATE FUCKING EXTRACTION BATTLE ROYALE MECHANICS SHOVED EVERYWHERE WITH MAINSTREAM CRAP.
>>735025305It lost 6000 users in the last 24 hours. It'll be dead in 12 days.
>>735020056>It's good for a rush job
I can’t see myself playing this game long term. The first few days were a blast because no one knew the maps or had the best guns. Now I am having a terrible time playing. I don’t have anyone to play with, so I use squad fill. With the higher level players I am facing now, I can’t win against their maxed shields and guns.I really dislike solo queue in this game, the maps feel designed for three people so every extraction spot has 15 blind spots. You are going to be sniped or shotgunned near every single exfil.I feel stuck in the game now. I can’t earn money unless I play rook and just skulk around the map picking up loot and going to final exfil at the last minute. It takes me about 4 games, so almost an hour, to get enough loot as rook usually to queue without a free kit. Then I lose it in 3 minutes and have to farm another hour.I’m not too sure how to fix this. My dislikes seem to be indicative to the genre. The game makes me feel like i need to find a 3 man to play it at all now. The few people I tried to join did not like sharing loot (self proclaimed loot goblins aka selfish assholes) and kept finger pointing on who made them lose that 10k backpack.
>>735024690>this is purely because they're now a Sony studioLmfao, people still defend corpos here?Microsoft, Nintendo, Sony and all these other jeet-infested jewish day care fag and troon supporting corpos can all get fucked.

>>735025508>The first few days were a blastYou fucker.
>>735025595They were the gunplay was good, maps were fun to learn...
Total Bungie death.
I said this to some friends the other day. Marathon will lose its entire casual playerbase within 2-3 weeks.The game is more hardcore than TarkovIt has no secure containerThe AI is much harderExfils are harder/timelimited/random/make a ton of sound so stealthy extracts are impossible as they are very contested.The geargrind unlock is brutal. It will take casuals weeks to unlock blue shields and purple they can just forget. In one week i see blue shields in every match and purple multiple times a day. Unlike tarkov there is no way to fimesse or circumvemt a purple shield. In tarkov people can have the most expensive armors in the game and still get killed by a naked guy easily if they play right/ambush him.Finding the purple salvage dor upgrades is a slog. You need 37 nucaloric biolens seeds to complete the tree for purple shields. In 70 hours i habe 1.The key price is a joke. 8 obedience matrixes for a random key template??? I have found 12 in 70 hours. All for a CHANCE to get a key that i need to survive TWO runs to profit from?No market to buy things i need? AlrightNah senpai. This game is much more hardcore than tarkov by far. Which is funny because every person ive discusssed this with thst never played it think its much worse than tarkov.The gameplay and gunplay is amazing. But its being held back by its economy and
why is paul tassi so obsessed with shilling for bungie, what does he gain from it?
>>735024547I don't need you or want you to play the game, double nigger. You aren't the type. You don't deserve the experience. Please keep wasting your time on /v/ so you're cordoned off from the rest of us.

When Bungie inevitably pulls the plug on Marathon, what will the journalist cope be? Are they going to blame the Chuds for poisoning the well of this innocent billion dollar corporation?
I didn't know who this faggot was but it sounded familiarNow I remember
>>735023642Can I bet on this thing flopping or is too late?
>>735026382This will be one of them.
>>735025692>It will take casuals weeks to unlock blue shields and purpleBrother just level up the factions. They put literally everything in the armory, then you just exfil a couple valuable treasures. The loot is just a dirty butthole to faction missions, Marathon is the most forgiving Extraction game since DMZ.
>>735025683It's kinda funny in that what he was saying was perfectly correct just from the inhuman alien logic perspective of homo-investus.>We deliver a better/more product for same price in term 1>We deliver a worse/less product for same price in term 2>This upsets the flock, they struggle as we fleece their wool>What do we do? Do we lower price of term 2? Do we apologize?>No. We never do better product first. Flock will never get upset, and we save money.It's perfect business logic, the ideal outcome is to make the same/more and spend less. The problem is this assumes you have a captive audience that can literally only go to you. Destiny's 'success' was entirely dependent on the fact it was the only game in it's weird fucking Co-Op MMO ARPG space because the OG destiny was itself a very weird never tried before concept made in the early days of online service games.>>735026193>>735026285fappening + gamergate + 2016 election + proliferation of phoneshttps://oilab.eu/not-so-general-mapping-issue-publics-on-4chan-pol/

>>735019668>People have a connection to bungie because they used to make good games (halo).I've never owned an xbox in my life and the first time I played more than 30 minutes of halo was playing the multiplayer of the current one, which was a fucking garbage game, why would I hold these losers dear in my heart?Specially when they have been consistently making overmonetized garbage since destiny 1?
>>735026467https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUGzEtjiKlw
I only play chinese games
>>735026382I think Bungie is going to give it one more push. Adding something. Probably maps but also another mode probably. I heard rumors of a roguelike or solo PvE mode. That feels likely.I honestly expected the game to be sub 10k by now. So they're doing better than I anticipated.
>>735026498read the post, i'm pretty sure it's AI. It has unfinished sentences and reads like a linked in post. That or it's a copypasta from somewhere.

>>735026574Fuck Genshin for ruining all the new characters with absurd team comp restrictions.
>>735026670Since you seem genuine, I'd also recommend playing Thief because her loot vision tells you what color loot is in the boxes, so you can beeline for the good shit. I found a purple shield on perimeter, granted it only happened once and I died immediately but it's out there..
>>735026382When concord failed media coverage all fell into the same narrative: Online mobs, muh culture war, bad faith actors review bombing the game and "willed the game to fail" before anyone could play it.Never mind the fact that this game took 6 years to develop, a $250 million budget and a $40 price point in a market flooded with free to play BR alternatives, and character designs that didnt appeal to anyone.Looking at the numbers though, marathon launched at 86,000 players, is bungie's lowest rated game ever, the reviews are mixed, when the failure comes it will look like a slow bleed or a game that couldn't retain an audience.

>>735021530>It has a 90% on steam of blatantly swept up reviewsSteam reviews are a fucking garbage metric, since it needs you to own the game to review it, so who do own the games that people dislike a lot? Obviously people who like them, simple as that, so they'll write good reviews about them, and people who played it somewhere that doesn't have the ability to review it, plain and simple can't voice their opinion.
>>735026808Any other tips? In the server slam I was running out of ammos to the ai which were fucking bullet sponges, should you just run from them?

>>735024150>then there's no reason why it shouldn't be selling like hotcakesLots of good games underperform all the time.Quality of the game is no indicator of good sales and vice versa.COD, BF, sports games etc. sell ridiuclous amounts of copies every single year despite atrocious quality and design and a lack of new content to justify a yearly release cycle
>>735027114swtor is actually fun when you arent getting banned
>>735027114SWTOR was a good game even back in 2011, the problem was the business model. Marathon is a bad game with a bad business model, F2P will only delay it's death.
>>735026904There's a few chips that reload the gun on elims and when you put it in your bag, find those. Alternate, use the chips that boost damage to uenc. But truthfully this is why the high mag weapons don't scale well and the bursts/shotgun are preferred, they win in damage and ammo efficiency.
if Marathon does get shut down, what else is there to play? I've been out of the fps genre for so long and this is the first one to really dig its claws into me in over a decade. I don't like Valorant, Overwatch, or CSGO. I doubt I'd like Siege. I tried Apex for like 2 hours back when it was the game everyone was playing but maybe I didn't give it a fair try at the time. The extraction stuff is fun, but I dislike the visuals in Arc Raiders and apparently they hate pvp which is half the fun. I couldn't play something that looks like Tarkov or COD or Battlefield, it's the sci-fi stuff that draws me in at a glance. I want to play more fps games now, I forgot how fun it can be.>>735026904nta but if I know I'm going to be fighting bots in a run, like if I plan on hitting Hauler as soon as I can in Perimeter, I'll grab a gun that uses Volt ammo as a secondary. You'll find Volt ammo on a lot of dead UESC so you don't have to worry about running out as much. But if you're close to a bot that doesn't have blue shield or higher, use your knife on them. The normal bots go down with two light hits and you can upgrade the damage to take them down in one hit. And don't reload your Volt ammo too early. You lose what you had and replace it with new ammo instead of topping it off like with light and heavy ammo.
>>735026193>unironically argue that steam numbers equal qualitythat is not the argument. the argument is that this slop is a flop. which it is.as for whether this slop is a good game, its not. fucking meme GaaS extracion shooter. put it in the bin with tarkov and arc raiders.
>>735027114look. listen. I get it. I do. But... Marathon FUCKING FLOPPED. WOOOOOHOOOOOOOO TORTANIC CHADS WE WON.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3kkNfH4yco
>>735027232If you think Marathon is a bad game can you please give an example of what you would describe as a good game?

>>735027232Destiny 2 was $60, ten years ago. Marathon will go to ps+ in a few years and eventually f2p, long after we've had our fun.
Destiny Rising is pulling in lesss money than the Will Smith Zombie Game (fuck).
>>735022715Want the real answer?Most of the Marathon sissys are indians gettin paid by Bungo
>>735027404The market was very different in 2014. That's why WoW's 2004 business model didn't work for SWTOR in 2011. The market changes, but you would know that if you weren't retarded.
It sure is fortunate that nu/v/ don't play videogames because they'd have actual material from the game to shitpost with.their sponsor kit fucking sucks
>>735026904Generally yeah it's not worth fighting AI because they drop garbage and they're loud as fuck so all the players on the map come running to third party you. If you have to engage them to get to real loot or objectives try to use your knife as much as possible, it's stupidly good even against elites since it'll make them try to punch you back which is way quieter and less threatening than them shooting you.
>>735019348>>735019348dont worry bungie is only going to be the first of many corporations to go bankruptthe golden packages will be seized as wellfraud is illegal
I remember playing CODs version of extraction shooters which by the way they tried once and gave up on it seeing no value in it. The issue with that version and all extraction shooters is that you are punished for playing solo. The AI in that game had laser accuracy and would 2 shot you in less than 2 seconds. That is not fun. That will never be fun. I don't understand why they always make the AI tanky and super strong in extraction shooters you may as well disable the ability to solo queue at this point
>>735027315You don't like the genre, so why would I care about your opinion on if it's a good game or not? You're more biased than an ign journalist, yet I'm supposed to respect your trash can opinion? Stfu faggot.

>>735027604They have to make them tanks or else there wouldn’t be any challenge since the AI literally just walks at you and shoots. It’s unironically “artificial difficulty” just like the input reading in Elden ring

>>735023197I can throw my head aginst a boss for 10 hours straight.You know why?My build doesnt get fucked by death.Marathon wants you to equip all this shit like cores, chips and wespon mods.I played for about 25 hours now, and never felt like it was worth to engage in all this craftbuilding, when i lose my fucking build the next round.I sell all the stuff i exfill with, i woud rather have the credits then the guilt over lost equip.And thats when i noticed:The loot and game is ass, you get the loot so the game becomes less ass.Why even play an ass game in the first place?I dont feel entertained.My friends asked me about marathon.I told them to just stick to arc raiders and have fun.I wished i bought tainted grail instead.
>>735020056wasn't he doomposting about Marathon just the other day?
>>735019348>Marathon as a sportit just came out
>>735027778It's hilarious to see nu-/v/ expose themselves by pretending anybody gave a shit about the Marathon games or were even talking about them for the past 20 years since Halo. They weren't there, so they can only pretend that there was some secret force of Marathoners biding their time in the back channels of the internet.
>>735027825They don't need to be a challenge but an annoyance really at best>>735027834No but enjoy this genre continuing to contract
>>735022989>a mentally ill twitter neet obsessing over marathon is the same as deliberately paid shillstry harder
>>735028093Perhaps the devs should add an easy mode for you, like aggression based matchmaking.

>>735028426
>>735027727You might have a problem.
>>735027604Yeah, DMZ sucked.The issue with extraction shooters is that unlike Battle Royales losing your equipment sucks.ARC sort of gets around this because it has more care-bears (people that want to collect shit instead of PvP'ing) than Tarkov (original genre founder) and it's clones attempt.The simple fact is though: Most people hate seeing their progress wiped. It's why ARC has those PvP hunters when carebears report them.
>>735028464relax
>>735028074I played through them recently and yeah if it weren't for the story nobody would remember these games. For gameplay, the first one is okay, the second one is the best one but still not nearly as good as stuff like Rise of the Triad, and the third one has the most interesting levels in the trilogy but as far as playing them, they're designed worse than Marathon 2. I played 2 when it came out on the 360 but I didn't know it was a sequel at the time and had no idea what was going on. Going through it now as a trilogy, it's cool and when the writing is good, it's really good. But yeah the gameplay is incredibly dull and forgettable.
The enrapening of bungie
>>735028564I don't mind losing my equipment. In fact I can see a thrill in being a solo player and stealthily trying to get around 3 stacks. I just hate how tanky/strong AI is. That single handily in all these games turns off solo play. The main threat should be other players not AI 2 shotting me a mile away.
>>735026013I meant destiny and halo you fucking retarded piece of shit. get that turd out of your fucking head and think for a change
>>735020056it's shockingly competent and offers a nice alternative to existing extraction shooters
>>735027448More things change, more they stay the same. People pay for catalog subscriptions now. Game prices still the same, more or less. Don't gaslight yourself like devs do, people will pay money for good games.
>publishers and devs love to report how their game sells x million>Marathon has yet to post anything like thatIs it really a sport when its more a dumb fucking retard tripping on himself while everyone around laughs at him as he pisses himself crying
>>735028765>All of these others have managed to get the formulae right but its nice to play something that gets everything wrong for a change
>>735028661Marathon stands because it's one of the best scifi stories in gaming, but it's a pretty average title where Bungie cut their teeth and learned their craft. People hate when you say it, but Halo and Destiny evolved that same formula in many positive ways.
>>735019348why are worthless people like paul shilling bad games?
>>735028840They haven't even posted the dumb irrelevant numbers like how many people extracted and died and how many rounds of ammo were fired
>>735019348I forgot that marathon even released.
>muuuh flop>muuh trannies>muuh epic ownI have zoomer fatigue
>>735028840Admitting that Marathon needs 100k+ sustained players or faces cancellation is admitting they have a Concord-shaped gun pointed at their own head, again.
>>735029082once upon a time all paul reported on was Destiny 2. Then that started dying. Then a fellow "journalist" clearly told him if he wants to stay relevant to pick a political side and poke at the other side so he because a leftist grifter defending woke shit all the time. Now he will be the marathon guy till that well dries then back to activist mode
>>735019348>Why are people hating Marathon as a sportBecause it's more fun than extraction shooters
>>735029087>>735029090>Everyone having a real conversation around him so he starts replying to himself

>>735029205What are you even getting at?
>>735026904PROTIP: Thief's loot vision shows you what color shield the bots are wearing so you can avoid firing/fighting bots you can't kill. Be tactical.
>>735028074>>735027778>>735028458it's because of Mandalore, his stupid videos are the only reason anyone who wasn't an adult in the 90's with a mac knows what Marathon is
>>735029461>Marathon was the best thing you could buy on xbox live arcade for a long ass time
How old were you when you realised that the heroes that shat on bad games that were only bad because they were woke started shitting on good games that only happen to be woke? People are treating marathon like its as dogshit as the veilguard or highguard when marathon is an actual good game that happens to have a woke company that made it.
>>735029461Not really, as a poser I knew about it because of people online bringing up the occasional reference to it in Halo decades back, but I never played it.
>>735021161Shut the fuck up you Jew or one of their golems.
>>735029537You and three people were playing that. Anon, don't gaslight yourself into believing ANYONE was talking about Marathon in the 2000s or the 2010s. I'll accept any other argument you have, but I've been on /v/ almost 25 years and I remember everything.
>>735029461>People learn about an ambitious artful series of videogames that moved the entire media forward>Bungie revives the franchise just to turn it into some retarded ugly extraction shooter dogshit>You pretend that it's unreasonable to find this tasteless
Stupid gay retard game. I love shooting bullet sponges! I love looting colored tier based loot! I love time gated content and games as a service! Fuck me harder bungie! I’m gonna cum! I love forced fake-sandbox PvP. It’s so tactical! Marathon has 1M ccu!
>>735029629Why do you keep making these passive aggressive effeminate posts when you don't acknowledge what anyone says in reply to them?
>>735029629What exactly is "woke" about Marathon again?
>>735027849>yearsweeks
>>735029629It's an ugly grindathon extraction shooter. It sucks dick, and it would suck dick even if it were written by Team Sneed. fuck you.
I'm just not going to play it.
>>735029745It’s full of woke-coded messaging and imagery

>>735029837Team Sneed
>>735029705suck my dick
>>735029179>>735029082to expand upon this, there's a nascent movement/attempt to blame the crash of these many big studio projects on 'da gamers' and chuds on the right, as if such a minority actually has the power to move the needle. It's ecochamber shit hallucinating the relevancy of it's echochamber shit. Whereas in reality, if the right (or the left for that matter) in social media had any actual pull then lots of games would've succeeded (or failed).>>735029537AH yes, that's what college dudebros with an Xbox/360 were buying. fucking marathon. I'm not arguing necessarily that what your saying is innaccurate, though that's more a comment on how shit Xbox Arcade and modern games are in general.>>735029630sure, you knew it exists as 'the game bungie made before Halo' and that was it, like Kings Field for FROM and Darksouls. But again, until hipster youtube video's about them came out (which even I enjoyed), they weren't part of any discourse.>>735029721It's not unreasonable to find it tasteless at all. Marathon should've never been an exfil shooter. This screams of a suits decision, tale as old as time. Like fucking Prey 2, or more recently V:TMB2, both with the actual studio screaming PLEASE DON'T MAKE US CALL IT THAT. Except bungies not doing that cause it's a soulless hollowed out husk with all the original people attritioned out after their CEO fucked them and jumped ship with a golden parachute because they tricked Sony into thinking Destiny was a money machine.

>>735026094Aim true buddy!
>>735029629Look, there were even people buying concord.Some people like to eat shit.You will have to accept that you like to eat shit disguised as steak.Marathon might be a good game among extraction shooters, wich all seem to be clunky and unbalanced.Its still a niche genre, you can see ot it the the player numbers.And dudes like me, that want to try it out for the artstyle, horror atmosphere and story will drop it like its liquid metall the momment they notice that its just a crossbreed of tdm shooters and MMOs, with them as the mobs and some NEET as the dude you get farmed by.
>>735026547>*marathon fails*AAAAAAAACK

>>735019348Because its more fun than playing the game
>>735029629The funny part is literally nothing about Marathon itself is remotely woke, if you ask them they always have to show some out-of-game shit about the company but never anything about the game itself.
I'm just having much a blast with the Marathons right now. Best game of the decade in a generation. It is true return to the form for Studio bungie. The lightning has been captured by the bottle on this one.
>>735019393Because they are owned by Sony, and journos love getting a fat check from Sony.

>>735019348At first I didn't give two shits about Marathon, or Highguard for that matter. It started getting annoying when Sobel was making twitter rants about how you should play his game because it was promised to him 3000 years ago or something. Now they're doing the same with Marathon. Booh ooh people aren't buying and playing, they're being mean on the internet to our garbage games, it's cyber bullying!>tyler the creator.jpgThankfully I don't browse social medias so I only see twitter screencaps on /v/ and that's already more than enough.

>>735030443Transhumanism is a leftist dream. They literally want to defy nature in any way they can because they hate natural beauty and the limitations of being human. If they had it their way every human being would have behavior control chips to keep people from disagreeing with their views. They love big cities where everything is filthy and non functional, they hate culture that isn't theirs and they destroy anything that doesn't align with their ideology. Modern day iconoclasts.

>>735030818>>735031091>Normalfags shit themselves at anything that isn't brown n bloom CoD shitlol
>>735031052>meanwhile /v/ went full retard for bf6 beta and release even though it was obvious slopdon't pretend like you care about the industry
>>735031013I watched a zoomer lore video on every Resident Evil game ever made and all that I came away with it is zoomers love to pretend to be gay for some reason. Every male character he would talk about how attractive they are and every woman talk about how objectified they are. Zoomers confuse me
>>735020187if you couldn't tell that was AI you're legitimately learning disabled
>>735030941CP77 barely even touched the weird aesthetics or drug and sexual aspects or the political ethos of the cyberpunk genre, they toned it down into GTA with implants for mass appeal, and there was still bitching.
>>735019348>Literally Who: bawwwwwfix'd
>>735026382if you haven't learned by now they will NEVER admit they are wrong under ANY circumstance.
>>735029461Hell no man, around the time of I love bees when people were digging apart everything in Halo and finding references to old shit is when I tried Marathon. It did change my life but it was cool to try it and it had good vibesIt's not all sole big web reviewer creating any and all opinions.
>>735031296mostly folks were mad about the futa implication ads, I forget what they were.
>>735019668But none of the people who made the good games are still working there
>>735019348Paul is such a fuckin shill
The fact chuds went from>Concord 3!!!to>Uhh well bungie will pull the plug by the end of the year!!Is all you need to know about the vibe shift
>10 days of release >No sales announcement
>>735020056Notice how the only thing he can say about it is that it's "good"He never goes on to describe in what way it's good, or talks about the game in any stretch of the wayJust that it's "good"
>>735019838StS2 isn't really a "revolution" like the comment says, but it had an immense following already so despite being a lot more of the same with not really all that many improvements AND in early access it's still gaining numbers on clout alonefor a sequel it barely innovates at all as a Rogueliteit's the same shit with Deltarune, which will pull numbers regardless of how meh any chapter might be, it's all about the clout and fanbase
>>735031340>gifthat shit was funny, like in 2010
>>735019723>>735019998The reason gaming journalism sucks is purely because gamers are the biggest retards on the planet and don't reward good journalism. You have to be a complete fucking moron without any shred of dignity to patron this AI slop. THIS SHIT is exactly why I've always hated coomers and culture warriors no matter how fucking woke gaming got. It's not because I'm against attractive characters or traditional themes/history but because I knew the reactionaries propagating this GamerGate bullshit were massive fucking retards who lack the mental acuity to create or appreciate meaningful art.What did the GamerGate campaign actually accomplish? Publishers still hold private access events to get people to glaze their games except now instead of professional critics who play/review a wide swath of games, the attendees are gaming influencers who mainly play/stream one or two games making the dependency relationship even more lopsided. Meanwhile actual gaming journalism has devolved from low tier journalism to $5/article clickbait to straight up AI-simulated content for serving up ads. Congratulations, you replaced bad journalism with liquid shit.>SHILL SHILL SHILL EVERYONE IS A SHILLConspiracy paranoia is literally correlated with low IQ. It's an evolutionary defense mechanism. Stupid people cannot discern fact from fiction by reasoning out whether the other person's claim sounds plausible, so they default to distrustful cynicism about everything to guard against bad actors from taking advantage of their idiocy. But over time bad actors have learned that by diverting said idiot's cynicism towards another targets they can short circuit this defense mechanism as the idiot will so readily distrust others they'll fail to think two steps ahead and realize accusing someone else of conspiracy is itself an unsupported claim they have no reason to trust.
>>735031390I need to add paul sucking bungie's dick to this image.
>>735031407>vibe shift Well said xir! I'm having a blast, marathon is truly lightning in a bottle
>>735019348So is it actually good?
>>735030693White and living in the first world. You're a Jew or one of their puppets.
>>735031235You are trolling. Nobody could think this looks good.
>>735027860Thanks for agreeing with me, much appreciated
>>735031490>don't reward good journalismstop right there retard there is no such thing in this industry
>>735031348>implicationYou could see the entire schlong to be fair (and that's a GOOD thing)
>>735031407???? the shills were screaming vibe shift and how it will have a million players at launch.
>>735029461People learned about Marathon because of Halo and the Xbox live arcade, you lying faggot
>>735031548Videogames are Jewish and Satanic o algo, leave the board and save the Aryan West.
>>735029745The androgynous silicone Playmobil figure people they choose as character models?
>>735026094Sony has the chance to do the funniest thing.
Game flopped btw
>>735031552Superiority can be hard to comprehend
>>735031490+5 rupees
>>735020056Despite some flaws, do really enjoy Marathon. I only care about its popularity because it will determine whether it'll keep getting support or not.
>>735031650>Browsing reddit>literally none of them even mention a million
>>735031235Marathon 1 2 and Infinity were not brown COD, you retard
>>735019348Because video games used to be a shared social experience. We’d share screenshots, information, and strategies with each other.Now almost all games feel terrible. The only shared experience left is laughing at how bad they are and how marketers try to defend their daddy corpos.
>>735031546Yes and no.Yes if it was an ImmSim with extraction added as a mechanic.No, because its a PvP rapefest where your goal in team is to kill everyone else so you can the play the game. If you play solo, then it is, and i kid you not, an actual submarine warfare where any sound you make WILL give away your position and you will have people homing in on you like no tomorrow. And then there is a rat infestation.Also, since this game uses Battle Eye, which Tarkov and Conan: Exiles use, it is already getting fucked by cheaters (i have had 3 encounters with those already).Game has potential to be good and fun. Right now it is not. Stay away from it.
almost topping 24h peak
>>735031709>cyberpunk scares metastelet
Yeah, I love Marathon
why is this nigga playing both sides?I swear every day he posts something that just adds fuel to the flames and then posts WAAAAAAA DONT HATE DONT POST STEAM CHARTS
>>735031709Are you talking about Arc Raiders?
>>735019393>>735019668You know that really annoying marketing strategy where the current dev's act like they were part of the studio's golden years: >FROM THE CREATORS OF NEW VEGAS>FROM THE GUYS THAT BROUGHT YOU GAYLOeven though anyone with a fucking brain knows how much of a lie it is? You know why they still do it? Because there's fucking retards out there that still fall for it.
>>735031896Why, are you gae?
>>735027484Not as bad as Sekiguchi's.
Japs seem to like it quite a bit
>>735031956No, talking about Marathon 2026
