Play Marathon (the good one).
I only played the first one. It was claustrophobic as fuck and ammo was scarce. Were 2/3 any better?
>>735023449such a shame bungie didnt continue off of the original gameseasily could have been a much better version of destiny
>>735023902You're supposed to use your fists more. Fists rape the staff guys if you put velocity into it, and you can stunlock the meatsponge ghosts to save about 90% of your ammo.
>>735023449>the good one>>7350239022 and 3 are more fun. I'm tempted to say they're a LOT more fun, but your mileage my vary.
>>735024065It would effectively be a soft reboot of Halo and I could see Microsoft getting particularly litigious about it.
>>735024065People who say this kind of thing either never played or didn't understand Marathon. Destiny is a Marathon game. D1 is Marathon 10 and D2 is Marathon 11 if we're counting. If you want to say "Well Destiny is a bad Marathon game" you're noticing the limits of Marathon as a milkable concept.
>play this clunky unc shitMiss me with that frfr
I did, and the only one I somewhat enjoyed and bothered to finish was Durandal. They're interesting but ultimately shitty games. Infinity feels like a creative writing project tacked onto a really obtuse map pack. The latter half of Marathon 1 made me wanna kill myself so I gave up, so many bad level design choices and enemy closets.I'm really convinced that the people who hype these games up either only played them 20+ years ago or just watched the Mandalore vids and pretend to have played them.
>>735023449I'm playing both actually
>>735026035>I'm really convinced that the people who hype these games [...] just watched the Mandalore vids and pretend to have played them.This is mostly what's happened.
>>735026035>Infinity feels like a creative writing project tacked onto a really obtuse map packThats what I like about all the Marathon games.The story wouldn't be as interesting if it weren't part of a game. If it were just a novel it would read like one of those shlocky action space opera books from the 70s. Adding the game, and especially controlling the aesthetics that are associated with the writing, really makes the writing better.They are clunky and awkward to play though. I honestly followed a guide through 90% of all 3 games. I also played it with the fan soundtracks that mandy mentioned. I probably would have given up on them if I hadn't. Complete silence was a weird choice.
>>735026415Did you get this opinion from reading other people's 4chan posts instead of playing the games yourself? Have you actually read any 70's sci fi novels?
>>735026486>Have you actually read any 70's sci fi novels?Yeah, I used to buy clearance shit from a used bookstore I lived near. I'm not talking about the good stuff that everyone knows from the 70s. I'm talking the shitty dollar books. Or the filler books from old scifi magazines.The sort of books with 12 aliens species that serve as basically only fodder for the protagonist to beat up. There's a bit more to what Bungie wrote, sure, I am exaggerating, this is 4chan. But on a surface level, it absolutely does sound like a cheap scifi novel until you get into the meat of 2.
>>735026035>the latter half of Marathon 1 made me wanna kill myself so I gave up, so many bad level design choices and enemy closets.The latter Marathon levels were decent to great, thoughever. Especially the alien ship levels. The only level I remember actively hating in the first game was the dark, oxygenless arena level where you have to flip 20 switches spread across a gigantic arena.
>>735023449id rather just play marathon if it was good AKA system shock
>>735023449https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1PgVanAdwEso many good memories of this game but i'm betting it doesn't hold up so i'm just gonna remain ignorant and hold on to the happy times
>>735026973>But on a surface level, it absolutely does sound like a cheap scifi novel until you get into the meat of 2.I am convinced you have neither played these games, nor can you read.
>>735023449This looked and played like dogshit back in the day already. No thank you, I don't think I will.
>>735023449i played it on a pippin
