Now that the dust has settled… what went so right?
Game of the year
What went right was that people were correct in calling this game Concord 3.
>>735714580Sound design, contracts, option to play solo or trio, endgame content. Bungie cooked
>>735714758Truly, I am in awe.
You guys are going to feel very dumb when every active player spends $1.5k on cosmetics and makes this a successful hit. It's figuratively lighting in a bottle, it can't fail.
>>735714580the reveal cinematic short is fucking kino, one of the best animated trailers of all time
>>735714753It's not Concord 3 in the sense that the game is actually good and fun, but at the same time it flopped and Sony/Bungie WILL pull the plug so in that sense it absolutely is a Concord 3 kek.
>>735714580>>735714913God this art style is so repulsive, it makes me sick to look at>b-b-but it's a reference to-It looks like shit>but it's so unique-It looks like unique shit
>>735715215I think the artstyle looks great and I love it.
Marathon is literally Sony’s best multiplayer game. hit #1 in US sales and #2 global before/after launch, with great reviews, and a playerbase of superfans after barely a month.it’s beating the competitors for paid shooters, and closing the gap behind Arc. definitely a Hit!
>>735714580that ass is not real
>>735714580Marathonians assemble!
>>735714580Vandal/Glitch kinda grew on me, ngl, her ass in-game is magnificent. The MIDA skin gets me diamond.
>>735715215I like the solid blocks of color, even when clashing. I think the indie game synthetic made it work quite nicely (it was mostly black and white and primaries though, and on environments). But the haircuts, make up, etc... it's atrocious
>>735714913The greasy thrisftshop child molester look is such a step down from the hipster look. I don't know why it's so popular on youtube.
It's fun but I'm old with kids and don't have time for this shit really. Playing solo since I can't really coordinate with anyone I actually would play co-op shit with (fuck randoms) is going to get old pretty soon I'm sure.For now I'm having a decent time
>>735715448that's becaues you never developed any real standards, and thats a personal problem. You are just as much of a failure as this game. It's clinging on for dear life and that's only because of Destiny players and curious halo fans that are still guzzling the shit that is Halo Infinite.
I love marathon man. Game has me by the loins
>>735715215It's kinohttps://tciv.art/
It's a blast.
You fucking chuds deserve nothing
>>735714580certainly not the character customization or the persistent progression
>>735715879>bestselling multiplayer gameit will probably barely crack 40k peak daily ccu today, so that’s pretty damn sad
>>735716507Jon Lajoie predicted this.
>>735717146>going to different websites to look for things to repost to 4chan>about a game you don't likeWhy do you people post here?
>>735714580That the vidya industry has become such utter fucking shit no one even cares enough to try and complain anymoreEverything is utterly brokenI prey for the death of all humanity
Marathon needs to sell over 8 million copies to break even..
>>735717648I always enjoy them and am glad they get posted.
>>735718204Don't let me stop you from going to the source and deriving enjoyment all to yourself.I'd even suggest staying there. :)
>>735714943At 1.2 million copies, every player would need to spend $3000 total to meet the 3.6 billion that Bungie was purchased for. And that's before factoring the 30% cut Steam etc. take. So it's even grimmer than your joke makes it out to be lmao
>>735714580>unfinished asset vectors: the FPSNothing lol thats why it FLOPPED hard. You can stop shilling your dead game now.
This game is such a shitshow im glad im able to witness it :)
LOL
>>735714753Not at all you stupid nig nog, it's still maintaining a solid player base, so keep dreaming, faggot
>>735718901>solid player base>less players on main playerbase than CODIf you were a legacy game maybe.
IM HAVING A BLAST MARATHOONING WOOOOO
>>735718309I like to see dashcam accident footage and bad cops' badge camera footage but I wouldn't want to be involved personally. I'm thankful for the people who provide the footage / screenshots.
>>735714580retarded ass moon boots
>>735714580You are watching a desperate>Advertisementno matter how hard they try, layoffs are all but guaranteed
Is two Concords and a 25k concurrent players worth the 3.6 billion "investment"?
I play this game and now that it’s dying, shit is even more scarce, players are ratting harder and the game is even more of a chore now than the design initially makes it in the first place, which is the equivalent of clearing a horse stable because all the lore you get is literal shit, but you’re actually a slave too. Terrible predatory design that demands daily play.
>>735722365The game is just way way harder now post cryo release and every session you have some MLG squad kitted the fuck out that will rock the fuck out of you and your autofill squad. Most of the randoms I play with are chill and honest bros, but the minority of salty losers that grief after them running face first into someone's shotgun barrel like a retard are slowly increasing in numbers. The game is just actively telling it's players to fuck off for wanting to play and the schizo charts trending downward and increasing toxicity in game reflect that.
Stop with the ads you're getting laid off dude.
>>735723059Yeah, I can't ever fucking imagine playing a game like this with randoms. It's very specifically a game where you play with people you trust/friends/comms with or get shat on by other teams that are in comms. This kills a game because the majority is always pubbies, and this game is the antithesis of a pub game.
>>735723059>>735723246https://www.reddit.com/r/Marathon/comments/1s3c2i7/even_as_a_pretty_experienced_fps_player_i_feel/THE VERY PLAYERS SHILLING MARATHON ARE KILLING IT LMAOOOOO
>>735723468I fucking called this.Cryo players will eventually go back to the other maps and shitstomp the casuals left.
>>735723468The funniest part is the big reset will not fix this issue. It will only compound it, because the sweats will get the good gear and farm exp faster than a gamerdad ever will. So the gamerdads will literally always be shat on in this game against sweats -- this kills your games' normalfag audience.
>>735723468>linking to redditBut yeah for the sake of discussion this just confirms what I'm already feeling in game. Cryo essentially made 95% of players gear impoverished and now the top 5% who have all the cryo loot are keeping and maintaining their loot while slaughtering broke free kitters depending on autofill to play. This game is like late stage capitalism on steroids. Shit is fucked up because I was genuinely having fun before and during cryo.
>>735717442Uh oh melty!
>>735723717>Cryo players will eventually go back to the other maps and shitstomp the casuals left.they're already trying to do that and crying for nerfs when they get killedhttps://x.com/ottrTweets/status/2036796763495878915
>>735717725Crimson bros fucking won, I kneel to our new gook overlords.
>>735723910>>735723719>>735723717>>735723468literally why cant bungie just make a separate pve queue with largely low tier gear
>>735723719And the only thing stopping some people getting stomped is the matchmaking looking for similar leveled players, once the season ticks over too two the level 100 turbo autists and level 10 normalfags will be in the same level 1 lobbies.
>>735724152They have no players left and you want them to fucking split the queue more?
>>735723468>hmm why is the game suddenly harder?this has been an obvious outcome for weeks now. a game this punishing means the majority of players in a lobby are going to have a bad time on any given round. they'll die and best case scenario, they were a free kitter who lost nothing, worst case scenario they brought their best loot in, lost it, and made 0 progress on their "in a single run" or "must extract" contracts.the bottom tier of players are just going to get frustrated with losing all the time and quit. with these players gone, the bottom tier moves up, and players who used to be having an ok chance of exfiling are now getting dominated because the players worse than them dropped the game. those people get frustrated and quit, and the bottom tier qualification moves up. and the cycle continues. it's not sustainable, and anyone deciding to pick up the game later after release has an even worse time getting absolutely stomped due to there not being anyone around at their skill levelmaybe this is offset somewhat by sweats just getting bored of the game after they have a full gold vault and clearing compiler 50 times, but hinging your games success on the people being good at it getting bored and dropping it faster than shitters who are getting stomped is just not a good plan
>>735724306if pvp dies because everyone wants to play the pve mode, then that's pretty much confirmation that the core idea of their game is a massive failure
>>735715215it's literally the best thing about the game
>>735724514It was stolen from a tranny
>>735724152I don't want pve only or low tier gear, that's not fun and the low tier gear is miserable. What really sucks is that all the good loot spots are lock gated and predetermined. You will never be raiding some nondescript area and get that 0.5% gold spawn or even a blue to help you out and make things interesting. Nope, you got to go watch a guide on youtube and then farm keys to farm loot to get farmed by everyone else trying to do the same thing. You and everyone on outpost wants to get into pinwheel and raid the same exact vault.
>>735724306Queue times are fine and they really need to revert the stupid increase in the amount of teams/map they did during the server slam.The best fix for the onboarding/casual problem this game has would be adding a low risk queue for the first map with less players spawning in so the chance of PvP is lower but not nonexistent and the loot rarity capped at green with maybe some super rare blues so people have incentives to graduate to the real PvP maps. Just give noobs a safer diet version of the core game to learn the ropes. Adding full PvE definitely isn't the solution. Plus it would also serve as another safety net for broke players beyond free kits and playing rook.
>>735724152Why didn't they make a singleplayer/co-op campaign?
I've not played but am I understanding right that the raid is the only place to get the best loot and 90% of players are never going to get to the raid?
....
>>735724724Singleplayer Marathon nu-doom clone as bungies big "First singleplayer fps since halo" would of sold like fucking hotcakes.
Tarkov solves this by making big maps with areas that had shittier loot.So shittier players can hide and scrounge those places while the sweats hounded other spots.
>>735724736They made Destiny: Extraction Zone because they're creatively bankrupt godless trannies and have no idea what makes either game/genre good
>>735723910> late stage capitalismyou need to be killed
>>735724792I sincerely hope that's some anon just making a cringe shitpost to make these idiots see exactly how insane they've gotten. But I really can't tell. My only real clue is they aren't glazing the horrible artwork.
>>735724896These people are real, unfortunately
>>735724152Even if they did it would get stale quick. Fight the same two or three bot types on the same two or three maps, and exfil 95% of the time? Yawn.Half the enjoyment of the game for me is the tension of perusing the map watching out for runnerniggers
>>735724794It seems so obvious, doesn't it? You regain the people you lost when you made Destiny and you get autistic retards who enjoy shitty lootshoots anyway.
>>735724959lol I could see a free weekend so early after release turning people off by making it look like its dying.
>>735724885meds
>>735714580>posting an edit
>>735724794Ive been saying this from the beginningNu-Doom did benefit a ton from the legacy of a timeless franchise, tho. OG Marathon was a niche game even way back in its hayday and not many people played it. Fucking everyone and their dog has played Doom.
Total Bungie death
>>735724736Unlocking the raid isn't that bad. You need to do each factions introduction quest which aren't that hard and can be completed even while dying plus season level 25 which is around 15-25 hours of play depending on your skill level.And honestly people shouldn't attempt it before that point either because it cranks up everything about the game to the max. It has the highest amount of PvE bots, PvP is almost guaranteed due to the map flow funneling all the teams into the central chamber unless you take hidden routes. The Map design is basically a huge multi storied maze full off hidden pathways and locked doors requiring extra mechanics to open. And getting out is harder than on the regular maps too.Basically the map isn't going to make anyone that doesn't already like the game start liking it. That's why Bungie is extra retarded for thinking it will be this games vault of Glass Moment.
Marathon is doing worse than Anthem by the way
Years of the Trials of Osiris population eating itself to death due to most players being cannon fodder for the top players and they not only learned nothing, but decided to make a whole game where that is also the case.Brilliant.
>>735724671The funny thing is they already have that with "Perimeter (Beginner)" but you can only queue for it until you finish the second quest.
>>735724736Yep and the players who do the raid will basically gatekeep new players from reaching it due to the massive gear advantage.
>>735725165Bro it's not just selling worse, it's not even selling half
>>735724671this. just cut the number of spawns on perimeter and dire marsh by like half. let cryo and outpost be the pvp maps. helps queue times and the difficulty complaints at the same time
Uh oh Bungieshill melty
>>735724625>this shit againno, a tranny RUINED a based as fuck art stylethen bungie stole the tranny's shitget it fucking right you mongoloid
>>735725284When the server slam first launched both perimeter and dire marsh actually had less spawns. They raised them within hours. Literally the only time they reacted this quickly to player feedback they ended up pushing a change which is imho key in why this game is a casual players nightmare.Oh and and also when they raised the gunshot sound distance for some reason. Luckily they at least reverted this one.
>>735725390>the troons replublic>based as fuck art styleplease kill yourself midwit.
>>735725072>MedsYou first
>ITS DIDN'T BREAK 40K PEAK TODAYNEW RECORD LOW
>>735725580gay retard
>Marathon has $250m budget >Destiny had a $140m budgetHow?
>>735724724You think it would be obvious given how much of a success the reboots of Wolfenstein and Doom were. But no Bungie had to make an extraction shooter despite Tarkov already dominating that market. Bungie is incredibly out of touch
>>735725390>no, a tranny RUINED a based as fuck art styleCan you speak more on that? I ask because I can see how it could be good with better graphic design / fonts / icon design / color choices and I'd like to look at what might have preceded it.
>>735722365>players are rattingIsn't that how the game is supposed to be played?>>735723910>This game is like late stage capitalism on steroids.Except the low level workers here are highly incentivized to leave the economy .
>>735725348Endless cope kek
>>735724442The number of people clearing compiler once is so small that it has to be the other. >>735724671>>735724671>Queue times are fineMaybe in america or western europe.
>>735724736Someone check 'cheevo stats on the number of people who have even tried it once, much less succeded.
>>735725917>But no Bungie had to make an extraction shooter despite Tarkov already dominating that market.And even Tarkov saw the need to retain more casual players with a PvE mode and a no wipe save.
>>735725553>fucking nigger>no tasteyou first, ape
>>735714580What went so right Sonybros?
Were entering the best phase of the game btwWhere people are coping incredibly hard as the game slowburns itself into death
>>735726230Gran Turismo and Helldivers are hard carrying.
>>735724792what's xe gonna do? go play another game that dies?
>>735726256Can't believe they made concord 3 a slow burning spine tingler.
>>735725095Your image is the reason the games dying tho
>>735725003>>735725695It is dying. >>735725348There's 2 thousand 8 hundered fucking people in the credits. It's a high AAA budget game.>>735726230They managed to fuck up less than team Xbox.
>>735717725and that is without marketing, twitch sponsorships, and server costs
>>735726256Just like my A20 kinos.
>>735717348sub 40 by friday
Damn Maratroon looks like THAT?!?
>>735717648are you new?
>>735714580>someone, somewhere, will look at this and say:I wanna duck her raw!also, auto-correct is shit.
They are not handling the failure well
>>735726058>Maybe in america or western europe.Not that anon, but I literally played on Asian servers today because we (Americans) queue'd with our Australian friend.Instant matches with a 15 second load every time and this was at 7am-noon.>>735722365>Terrible predatory design that demands daily play.You suck. I'm not trying to be mean but it's the truth; stop being a hoarder; spend your money and bring in your gear to increase your survival odds.I started 2 weeks into the games lifespan and it took me 14 hours for my squad to get wiped despite running at every sound source.
>>735726274I mean Gran Turismo has always been hard carrying Sony since the PS1. Its Sony's Halo (and not Horizon, Herman)
THE HIRED THE VALORANT DIRECTOR FOR THIS KEKAROOOOOO
Shant be playing this dead game
>>735726469No, I just haven't gotten a real answer as to why these people still post here.
>sick ass reveal triler>could have been ultra kino single player game with sloppa extraction as its mp>bungie fucks it over

>>735726230How the fuck is Until Dawn a franchise? It was fine as a one off. Not a franchise.
>>735726918having to pay this troon's HRT is the difference between financially successful and bankrupting the company
>>735726876>blame the audienceDon't quite think that retards who repeat opinions of others is anyone's audience but those 2 ecelebs he listed.
>>735714580>game is crashing and burning>abandon "principles" of having sexless crash test dummie characters and try to appeal to the gooners (real people)lel
>>735717442I want it to fail because it isn't Marathon, what a faggot.
>>735717648Salt mining is a thing, zoomer
>>735717442Remove the kernel shit and I'll play it
>>735727035The Until Dawn trilogy is fantastic! There's PS4,PS5,PC. That's three games right?
>>735727227you should go farm retardera lol
>>735717442Imagine your $300 million dollar game project failing between a streamer called it gay. Kek.
>>735727227If I wanted to see twitter posts or reset era I would go to those websites, faggot.
>>735727292Its literally what happened with Last of Us 2 games with more remakes/remasters of it
>>735727323It happened to roller blading kek
>>735718856>tiers of people not talking about the game>proceeds to engage with that side of the Internet rather than talking about the games mechanics with playersSeems to be part of the "problem"
>>735727312
>>735714580If her ass was actually that fat I might have installed...But they were too scared of sex appeal.
>>735717146Total global...what now?
>>735727353Last of Us remakes was when I knew the industry went completely lost the plot couldn't care less what happens to Sony especially after California move
>>735721186It's not just mere layoffs either, Bungie is going to be assimilated into Sony. With any luck, they will be relegated into a support studio for Helldivers kek
>>735727312retardera of all places seems to be pretty critical of the game the marathon fans there are hiding in containment threads.
>>735727484Especially with that horrible PC port of Part 1. Seriously why did they even redo Last of Us again. The first game looked gorgeous and was already playable on a PS5 with backwards compatibility.
>>735714580whats with this trend where devs make shoes look like life rafts?
>>735727436>release retarded tryhard endgame raid with the best gear in the game>dump the overgeared players back into normal matches after the weekend>if you didn't get your very own broken gear you are doomed to a full week of anal rapegreat design Bunghole
>>735715215just wish it ran better because it literally doesn't look graphic intensive at all.
>>735723719>>735724173Did any reviews of the game try to analyse the structure to see how it would hold up? They got released yesterday right? Or are journos literally just shills?
>>735727703I think it's an attempt to appeal to niggers with "sporty" shoes. Stupid shoes alone are enough to ruin a design, and that design was already shit, so the stupid fucking shoes just end up being funny.
>>735723468A pvp game that is fundamentally unable to function on private servers and needs cancerous matchmaking to be viable sounds like a pretty retarded idea desu
>>735727792>just wish it ran better because it literally doesn't look graphic intensive at all.Brother it runs on decade old GPU's perfectly fine.What potato are you playing it on?
>>735727634Oh yeah forgot to mention the multiplayer that was in the original was completely removed in the remake because Sony and Naughty Dog were making a Multiplayer Spinoff but that got canceled and Sony only porting Uncharted 4 to PC but not the first three is fucking baffling
>>735714580>>735717348Peak daily dipping into the 30k range next week, followed closely by this being the new normal.The big question is whether its typical weekday peak at the end of April will be in the 20k or 10k range.
>>735728239This game will dramatically drop on Monday because I really think normies are going to give cyro one more shot, get no where as it will be even sweatier this weekend and drop the game
>Peaked at 39k today LOL
This game is going F2P in the middle of May at this rate. I don't think that it'll be enough to bail them out. There's virtually zero organic hype around this game. The fact that the "journalists" can't come in here, slap them with a 6/10, and explain why nobody wants this is why nobody takes them seriously.
>>735714580We didn't have to wait until next week.This game is screwed.
>>735729170>and explain why nobody wants this>make a game catered to a niche community>the people not part of the community whinge about not catering to themI don't understand you people. You cry if they make games for the lowest common denominator and then cry if you're not the demographic.
>>735714580Nothing. Defect isn't even out yet and is already mogging it bigly
>>735729307What you don't seem to get is that this was made to have mass appeal. They want these characters to be the next Master Chief. We're gloating because they're paying the price for thinking that they can shove whatever garbage down our throats.
Reminder3.6 BILLION DOLLARS
>>735729892Sony makes hundreds of millions of dollars a day. They are worth 120 billion dollars, it's nothing to them, it's a hefty investment but not what their entire gaming division depends upon.
>>735729736>What you don't seem to get is that this was made to have mass appeal.Is that why they showed it off with nothing but artfag trailers and made it a genre that only had a single game hit mainstream appeal half a year ago despite half a decade of development?>They want these characters to be the next Master Chief.What?>We're gloating because they're paying the price for thinking that they can shove whatever garbage down our throats.I think you're just a retard seething about a hasbeen developer.

>>735726230Is this like the Mortal Kombat tower? Is Astrobot next?
Its honestly beauitful seeung all the shills slowly realize that the game is dying.
>>735716507I'm going to shamelessly steal your incredibly apt description of what I couldn't put into words due to being an ESLAnd these fucking numales are constantly spammed on my homepage despite me never watching that type of garbage everThe algorithm must think I'm in need of r*ddit powered deradicalization
>>735726510I mean he’s right, plays like shit, feels like shit and looks like shit like no other thing on the market
>>735726510I'm pretty sure the roach god explicitly said the game was not Concord 3 but he didn't like the game either, it was just not for him, said people should look to others opinions instead of his because he doesn't like extraction shooters, so why is this faggot blaming him?
>>735730250>game has healthy player retation>this is somehow a flopchuds, everyone.

>>735730376Now you only have to spend $75,000 each for Sony to break even JUST FOR PURCHASING BUNGIETo make the acquisition profitable, have marathon break even and afterwards profitable, each of you remaining maratroonies and bungiedads have got to pay upwards of $150,000 in micro transactions and battle passesNow, if I were you, instead of wasting away on /v/ giving everyone ironic shitposting fatigue, I'd be buying my 5th copy and delegating 89% of my monthly budget to marathon premium currency ;)
>>735730432fuck you benchod, i am having a blast!!
>>735730376>peak lost almost 10k between last Sunday and the Sunday before; this was with what was supposed to be such an important patch that Bungie wanted critics to wait until they'd played it>the 30k range is probably the new normal for the weekdays and will most likely decline over the course of next weekThis is the opposite of retaining players. And the base is tiny compared to what they need, anyways,
>>735730376>target acquired>esl marathon shill detecteddeploying chart

>>735726189>epstein republic shalom
>>735730703Most of those "players" were and are obviously shills. That's where the blast meme came from. They kept saying that the game was "a blast" in an effort to sound natural.
>>735730703You answered yourself>Bungie gunplayThat’s not supposed to be a positive thing
Ok, serious question. Why the fuck are you faggots so obsessed about this game that you can't stop looking at charts as if you were a suicidal /biz/ user? Like, yeah the aesthetic ain't the best and the weapon look like ass, but for some reason everyone is going all CONCOOOOORRRRDDDD when is not even close in any way. Seriously, what's the deal?

>>735730715The only pedo cult allowed around here is Mohammed and Hollywood ok chuds?
>>735730854because those who worship moloch must be hounded. Bungie is in the epstein files and will be punished when hitler returns
>>735717442it's truewe deserve them all
>>735730703It doesn't have mainstream appeal.People aren't getting the power fantasy of booting up and killing a dozen people. they're being brutally raped by coordinated teams who have been playing these games for a decade now.And to make it worse you can't really rat like in the other games out right now and expect to be successful, there's so many information tools to reveal players and you have to fight if you want the shinies.
>>735727947i7-9700K, 4070Ti, 32GB RAM. for reference, i can run pretty much any game you throw at it at 100+ FPS on ultra at 3440x1440. a game that looks like this should be hitting 144fps consistently if not more.
>>735719137>TF2
>>735722208no refunds
>>735730703Every game loses players until they have big updates. Look at Crimson Desert. The daily CCU drops day by day.
>>735730702How about instead of posting charts, you play the actual game? Of course numbers will do down as as time goes on and people reach the endgame of content. What did you chuds expect? The numbers will grow or remain steady as new content drops.
>>735731062i played the alpha and the beta.
>>735731062>as new content drops.Yeah… about that…
>>735717442You deserve what you tolerate.
>>735730854>why is the quality of discussion on /v/ abysmala better question you should be asking is, why have the mods still not deleted /v/ yet.
>>735731013>Crimson Desertobsessed tr0_0ncelgooks|op or not, it's a single player game, not a live s]op PVP multiplayer
>>735731449>pvp is slop because my fragile ego gets shattered every time i get outskilled by another player
>>735730854Harassing Bungie fans is funny and maybe it'll break a few of them out of their tendency to worship the most mediocre shit imaginable for over a decade, or just ensure nobody takes them seriously
>>735731268containment board.threw up their hands because theres too many neets who spend all day shitting the board up
>>735714580nothing?im stoked for another wave of layoffs
>>735731493what?
>>735725348Dude is coping hard, definitely playing ignorant. Despite 90% of the assets already built from spider-man 2018, spider-man 2 still cost snoy around 300 millions to make and they weren't very happy with insomniac despite the game selling shit ton. It’s common knowledge that the average AAA title budget nowadays ranges between 150 million at lowest and 350 millions. Highguard cost the supposed “indie” studio wildlight in the ranges 200-250 millions. Fucking concord another snoy live service slop shooter and far smaller in scale than marathon cost em half a billion in total.
>fans of the game jerk off about being this super cool unique ludokino>watch footage>bogstandard extraction shooter but its in first personso uh, where's the groundbreaking stuff
>>735717146kek the audacity of these fanboys
>>735717725>6 million250 tops, and mostly from typhus
>>735717442>divegrass pfpturd world
>>735730854>Why the fuck are you faggots so obsessed about this gameWhy do you keep asking this question every thread? Is it some new shill strategy or some shit? Trying to colour people laughing at your shit games failure as "obsessed". You should be using "with" instead of "about" here btw ESL shill.
I'm not sure what game I'd hate playing more. Marathon or Crimson Desert. Probably Marathon since Crimson Desert might eventually be good 30 hours in.
>>735731953If I could play it with friends I'd go with Marathon just because anything can be fun with friends. Crimson Desert is just more BDO except it's offline now for some reason, so if we're doing singleplayer I feel like I'd get bored of Marathon's game loop faster. Either way I'm going to be annoyed I have to play either pile of shit for more than a couple of hours. I did try Marathon for the free weekend and dropped it after like two hours total.
>>735731775>where's the groundbreaking stuffjust wait until they start committing suicidethe body weight hitting the ground is going to create some cracks
>>735729243Incoming sub 30K next week.
>>735732319>too embaressing to pull the plug after concord>has to wait a month until people stops noticing
>>735732075True. BDO was pretty terrible so it would just be as bad. I'm not impressed by all the pointless gimicks they put in Crimson that add next to nothing to the game. Its all mindless fluff to clip for Redditors to pog at.
i liked it but im not playing it until there's more content and a clearer road ahead without a threat of EOS
would it have had more players as a singleplayer game?i think the game would have been better, but maybe not more players
>>735734016Yes.I rather like the funky artsyle for what it's worth, but being PVP slop make it pointless.Games don't have to have great stories, but has to have ore than lore info dumps inbetween battle passes.
>>735734016You kidding me?A AAA single player FPS campaign from Bungie would have sold way better. The console side in particular would have shown up for it.
>>735730854Big AAA release. Gaming press is worse than useless at telling how it's doing. If you have a problem filter, or maybe bot the report button like the other fuckers.>>735731872Not new at all. They were using that angle on the Skull and Bones launch.>>735731062Tried it. It was ass. No shade on anyone who actually does like this garbage.
>>735727783What's sad is this is not the first time they've done that... or the even the 8th
I'll never forgive bungie for making this pvp slop
Wow Bungie was running a Indian discord server to control the subreddit for Marathon to make sure only positive discussions happenhttps://www.reddit.com/r/KotakuInAction/comments/1s3x1br/confirmed_there_really_is_reddit_task_content/
>>735737163>Blast Havers we're all paid shills.Man who would've guessed. Oh wait. Most people.
>>735736972Get filtered, shitter
>>735737163This is most of the internet these days really, from discord to even 4chan most posts that might seem organic are actually just pajeets being paid to push specific narratives and make people think its the actual organic consensus.See free speech and independent thought stops meaning anything when corporations and governments can just pay people to pretend to have opinions to drown out actual opinions.This is a dark future, who needs dystopian scifis when we are living it right now
>>735717725Always with the six million...
>>735737410Why aren't you playing your game though
>>735737163Imagine if they used that money to make a good game instead of trying to trick people that a bad game is good
>>735731735>Despite 90% of the assets already built from spider-man 2018, spider-man 2 still cost snoy around 300 millions to makeIt cost thrice the amount of money of the first game and sold half the amount of copies. It's fucking baffling.
>>735737667why are you in a thread for a game you dont play
>>735737667>ImplyingMaldBtw I would rather this game die than cater to skill-less faggots like you or Destishitter cunts perma buck broken by Bungie not doing Destishit for 30 years straight
>>735726367>There's 2 thousand 8 hundered fucking people in the credits.Only 300 of which are developers and afffiliated to Bungie dev teamRetard
>>735737926to make fun of you
>>735738231If they're not bungie devs, does that mean they don't have to be paid?retard
>>735725348Notice how he didn't post actual evidence or even claim to know the game is that bloated? Just "trust me bro"
>>735737926Wow are you a bungie employee?
>>735731735>spider-man 2 still cost snoy around 300 millions The game with 12 hours of voice acted, motion captured cutscenes with real actors costs a lot to make? Wow, and how does this affect Marathon?
>>735737163The "enthusiasm" seemed fishy to me and I didn't let them talk me into having a blast.
>>735737953Based fellow game enjoyer.These threads are filled with the saddest of cunts.
>>735738263Yeah exactly. The dude in Snoy offices that managed communication between Bungie and Snoy does not factor in the Marathon budget
>>735738354That's not something you get into the credits for.
>>7357382632 thirds of Marathon credits are not even Bungie, retard.Why the fuck would they have to be paid for by Marathon?
>>735737163The shilling here is aggressive as fuck which gives it away for me. most people hate the game but there's like four shitters here who are really vocal and have a thread up at all times. When a game gets shit like this, people usually stop making threads after day three.
sisters…
>>735738376Yeah you do, fuckwit
oh my chungusit looks like marathon won the war of the wokeflopsthough it's funny that highguard peaked higher lmfao, that's how unappealing marathon's art style is
Even though this shithole is infested with marketeers and pahjeets, it's still the best place to get an honest impression of something
>>735737163Figures. They almost had me blasting but being raped by Bungie before I was cautious. Is this how women feel every day? People just wanting to rape you all day and finding new ways to entice you into doing it?
>>735738395If they worked on marathon, bungie gave them something to do, which means bungie paid them.This isn't a difficult concept
>>735738417More lies
>>735738474>If they worked on marathonNo they didn't >>735738462Yeah people who don't play games are the best way to get impressions of games
>>735738417>>735738483it’s some tranny on trannyera with fucking 11k posts why would he make this shit up fucking pajeet shill enjoy your $3
>>735738417Hilarious how TrannyEra hates Marathon for the same exact reason /v/ does.Elitist game that got them filtered>>735738547>Source: trust me sister
>>735718901>all time peak is lower than arc raiders 24h peakAnon, I...
>>735738515>Yeah people who don't play games are the best way to get impressions of gamesUnironically jaded people who grew up playing video games and don't have any financial incentive to lie, have the ability to call out bullshit the moment they see it
>>735717725He forgot to mention big companies get cozy deals where they only have to pay 10%. The 30% is for the indie devs so they can fuck them more
>>735737163Connecting the internet to non Nato countries was a mistake
>>735738462>it's still the best place to get an honest impression of something>a board notorious for people spouting opinions on games they've never played & having dedicated autists who samefag threads to death is trustworthyYou have access to videos and can see how a game is for yourself and make your own opinions you know.
>>735738462People have no stake in there reputation here, so they feel safe in being honest.
>>735738515>No they didn'tAnd they still had to be paid. Directly or indirectly by bungie.Do you understand the concept of billable hours?
>>735738547>Instead of long matchmaking times, the game just gives up and claims "not enough players are in"This is fucking unhinged. Even if that was true (but I can log in in 10 seconds) low players wouldn't result in the game straight up giving up matchmaking attempts. You are mentally ill and retarded for taking seriously some mentally ill tranny in mentally ill site you go to. I hope this is part of your uneployed lifetime hobby of shitting on flavour of the month games and you are not stupid enough to believe some tranny claims that a game defies all logic in how matchmaking infastructure worked for the last 30 years
>>735738679>And they still had to be paid. By Sony, not by Bungie, and certainly not factored into Marathon budget>Marathon should pay wages of every single Sony employeeUnhinged schizo
>>735738614Sure, but when presented with something like a trailer or a fact regarding a game, this is the place where you'll get the most honest reaction after filtering the obvious shills. People here aren't shy calling something shit
>>735738547If this game was Concord the lying wouldn't be necessary
>>735738547That's the message that pops up if you try to solo queue Dire Marsh Duos right now because it's only premade duo's
>>735715215GoodMore games should be divisive instead of safe
>>735738749>This is the best places to get opinions from people after you exclude all those who actually played the game (the "shills")
>>735738741>By Sony, not by Bungie,And sony got their money from bungie, if the work was related to marathon. That's literally how project billing works.I don't care if you don't believe me, I'm done arguing against wilful ignorance.
>>735738860 >>735738741>>Marathon should pay wages of every single Sony employee Unhinged schizo
>>735738869>if we gave the game enough 10s people will start playing it and sony will pay our bills!!!!
even the 1.2m sales number is fake, in reality it’s most likely around 600-800k.
>>735738842eglin airforce base melty
>>735738749The very few people here that played Marathon love itYou just want a circlejerk of like-minded individuals to validate your opinion or enforce groupthink you can abide to
The two faggots defending this trash really need to reevaluate their shit. Absolute faggotry.
>>735737953>>735738341based
>>735738952I can believe it. The number they were celebrating was 400k on discord, when the discord had like 350k members pre release. So the release netted them a grand total of 50k people joining the discord. Where did the other guys show up from? Who knows. >>735738914>>735738869Did Jeff Gerstmann also sell out? Sad to see this shit.
>>735738962Ikr they fucking play videogamesACTUAL videogamesun-fucking-believable
>>735738962yeah should have played visual novels for pedos instead
>>735738962well with the recent reveal of the paid pajeet discord shilling the game at least they might be getting paid for it? they must really need the money or something…
>>735738869you know the thurd worlder that made this is brown from using snk
>>735738962you lost
>>735738795Based Moth enjoyer
>>735738574>TrannyEra hates MarathonHahaha. Some of them are mad enough about the game flopping they want all Steam CCU discussions banned.
>>735739351TrannyEra are the biggest Marathon shills. Even in the CCU thread which is relatively shill free and just autism about stats, they’re discussing how the game can be saved and fragile shills from the OT are having meltdowns daily about the CCU thread discussing…the CCU.
>>735739470I like how even TrannyEra mods can't stand that shit and just ban people whining about CCU threads. Ignoring shit you don't like and just enjoying a game is so hard for these people.... but enough about /v/.
https://steamdb.info/stats/globaltopsellers/HOLY FUCK LMAO IT DROPPED TO 58TH PLACE WHAT THE HELL NO ONE IS BUYING THIS ANYMORE
>>735739470pushsquare shill journalist had a meltdown about the ccu thread too because it was over 100 pages kek just waiting for those trannies to ban ccu threads now for some vague reason like toxicity even though the toxic ones are the pathetic fragile faggots blasting with the game
>>735739668Bungie humiliation ritual, they’re paying for all the rapes. Good riddance
>>735739714>>735739668even worse than buyingno one is fucking spending on the games MTX
>>735714580It's a decent game, just not the right type of game to be a mega success. Wrong genre and way too difficult for casuals. If some lower tier studio like ironmace came out with this it'd be better received. Also they wouldn't have to deal with the mentally ill destiny players schizo vendetta.
>>735739668b-but the reviews... they were meant to save the game!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_xzzOhq8nY
>didn't even break 40k todaythis is some of the best slowburn kino i've ever witnessed
>>735739738The MTX is pretty atrocious. I don't think I've ever seen a worse battlepass in a videogame before.>barely any skins>doesn't refund its value in goybux>the ones there are random fucking blotches of colors>repeated tiers of stickers and charms because only one can be equipped to an item at a time>one (1) jaun character skin at the endAnd then the regular store>$20 for character palette swapsfucking insane to ask someone to give you 15 bucks for that.>>735739756If this came from anyone but bungie we'd be having normal threads for sure.
>>735738957I've played 100 hours plus 40 over the server slam, don't love it. It's nowhere near as dipshits here are claiming but once I hit 100 and finish of the achievements I'm dropping the game.
>>735739908it is actually so kino. more and more people are slowly falling off the cope train as well
>>735739869SUB 13KIM MONITOOORIIIIIIING
>>735739950erm... git gud! you FUCKING CHUD!!!
>>735739869Being 79th on Steam player count a few weeks after release is not as bad as it seems you FUCKING CHUD
>>735739950silence chud! Slay the Spire 2 also lost 100k players, so it's fine if we lose 100k too!
