>we are in it for the long haullol
remember when sub 90 IQ tards said this will be a concord tier failure? good times
>>736481829You really seems to care about this game, you must like it
>>736482248>>736482298You lost, marathrannies
>>736482248This is just a Slow Concord, not a Hot Concord
>>736482248>>736482298I love that shills have to respond to every Marathon thread. Free entertainment.
>>736481829>member when urinalists said this game is a flop?
perma-ban numbers threads
>>736482331you lost [the prediction]told you brand loyalists will carry it over the finish line but you wouldn't listen. why? because you're low IQ.
>>736482248you losted maraxister
>>736481829Extraction shooters seem to have more resilience. Stronger sunk cost factor?
>>736482248Game is on the way to concord's massive numbers
>>736482298saar
>>736481829holy shit it's all over
>>736481829Apparently this game will have a forced reset after 3 months, if it lives for 3 months, so i'd imagine it will almost definitely die after that
>>736482248So Sony lost less money from Marathon than from Concord?
Why do dishonest fucks always do this on a Monday morning?
>>736484739it's a holiday, son
>>736482613if you're a fan of the genre nothing else gives you the same high, i imagine a lot of players bounce between them/back to them.
>>736481829Don't care, still blasting a have
>>736481829It will be fine as long as Bungie manages to keep a steady and loyal playerbase by not fucking their players over and mismanaging the gameLuckily they aren't known for doing that!
>>736485118To be fair, if you're mentally cucked enough to play the game right now, you are also mentally ill enough to keep playing after they fuck you hard
>>736484739Do what? Play Arc Raiders?
>>736481829BRVTAL MOGGING
>>736482248concord lost $400 million minimumhigh guard lost $100 million minimummarathon lost $200 million minimum at launch (no one knows its marketing budget which must be HUGE as they paid EVERY top streamer to exclusively play the game for 2 weeks) and is bleeding $4-5 million per month just in operating costs and is listed on sonys financials as a huge loss and microsoft black listed bungie for being a financial mess before they even started marathon and destiny is dead because of marathon...Its even worse than concord lol the literal sunk cost fallacy in action. Not even f2p will save it now. At least you have hunt showdown, the exact same game just not sci fi.
Don't care, still blasting
>>736485523>proceeds to post more chartslop instead of actually playing Arc RaidersI guess not?
who /blasting/ here?
>>736485695Don't forget Sony buying Bungie for $3.2 billion only for them to immediately shut down 12+ of their active working projects including TLoU Multiplayer which was already over 80% complete. So there is the financial loss of their "expertise" completely stripping their product pipeline to be considered as well
>>736482248It's a concordlite
>>736485967It's funnier because the original multiplayer for Last of Us 1 was way better than Marathon, so Sony probably would've made more money from Factions 2
I like the game but I can only play like an hour at a time, it's not chill
>>736482248yeah it's actually worseI had to look up who made concord"firewalker studios"yeah I've totally heard of them"bungie" did they ever make anything good/popular? I have never heard of them.there are at least 10k people playing halo 2 right now
>>736482248This is arguably a bigger flop than concord
>less sales than a 3 years old game about flipping houses during a holiday weekendPffffahahaha
>>736486887you may not like it but this is what peak cope looks like
>>736481829Why couldn't it just be a remaster like Doom
>>736485523Isn't this slow right now, it pumps up to 100k on average, meanwhile marathon hits dead game numbers / impossible to find games when you click play. That's death right there.
>"Yo, your GaaS is failing">"Reee, but what about THEIR GaaS?! huh? huh?"yep, that is sure going to help keep you the job, carry on.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_Jw_Gfah3Y
>you may not like it but this is what peak cope looks like
it's clearly not a concord but it's still a failure. i'd compare it to dragon age veilguard; a tepid game that pleases no one but the most ardent cult members of a formerly great studio.
>>736482613I'm thinking of getting into one, but I run Linux and something about Arc Raiders just seems...off.
>>736484546Objectively, yes.
>>736482248do you think an always online game should last less than a year?
>>736482613More resilience compared to what?
OP BTFO! a 50% rise in player count in just a few hours!
>>736481829>*refreshes steamcharts for the 265th time today*>"g-gu-guys I'm totally not obsessed!"I want Bungie to get bent backwards and fucked for what they did to their own franchises but can you stop spamming /v/ like every hour with the same thread?
>op waiting all day to screenshot the lowest point of the asian region on easter mondayfucking lol, getting desperate
>>736490758it's prime time in India so that makes sense
>>736490818and yet you are here getting mad at this same post AGAIN
>>736490945Why does it matter if it's Easter Monday? How is it different from a regular Monday?
grim
>>736485523
The following games have more active users than Marathon, a big budget multiplayer game that was thought to be the next apex legends or whatever. stardew valley, a 10 year old gameterraria, a 15 year old gameleft 4 dead 2, a 17 year old gamered dead redemption 2, an 8 year old gameeuro truck simulator 2, a 14 year old gameresident evil 4 remakethe binding of issac rebirth, a 12 year old gamethe sims 4, a 12 year old gamefarming simulator 25skyrim, a 15 year old gameslay the spire AND slay the spire 2resident evil requiem, a single player game that came out at the same time as marathonthis is just sad
>>736490975literally my first time posting in these threadsI just couldn't stop NOOOTICING
>>736491226>thought to be the next apex legendsthe musings of retards are easily dismissible
>>736481829why are shartyfags weirdly obsessed with this game?
>>736490947The majority of the player base is east coast US and on PC. As well over half the players. Absolutely no one plays in EU/Asia time zones. This is vastly different to tarkov/hunt which have more even splits between US/EU zones. Zero in china, obviously. Arc raiders is the only one with a global base because its for the casual mass market and easy to bot.
>>736491303>Zero in china, obviously.hunt is very popular in china.
It's funny watching the shills have a crash out but they can't say no-no words cause it's probably a clause in their script so they have to call everyone chuds instead kek
>>736491242cya tomorrow
>>736491270they expected it to EOS within 2 weeks and it hasn't happenedit will be 2 months instead
>Sony bought Firewalk and gave them $200m+ to develop Concord. Total cost probably north of $400m, zero return because they refunded everyone. >Sony bought Bungie for $3.6bn and has been paying wages to 800+ people in Washington state for 4 years. Also had to pay the Star Wars license fee, so total cost is easily over $4.5bn. Revenue was sales of Lightfall, Final Shape, Edge of Flop, Star Wars, and 1.2m copies of Marathon at best - likely under $500m all in.Sony has lost more money on Bungie than Concord by a factor of 10.
>>736481829kek rip to another one
>>736491435>source: my unloved assholeits almost an even split between EU and US because its style appeals to slavs and mutts. tarkov is majority EU because its pure slav roleplay.
>>736491882>believing obvious hyperboleno one legitimately thought it would go EOS in 2 weeks. It's doing exactly what everyone said it would, moderate sales and 10-20k concurrent peaks that are gradually dropping towards the end of the first reset. The current population performance was called almost exactly by anyone with a brain before launch
Why did it flop?
>>736491194>marathon not caring about *** ******These pictures from the earlier shills are still so fucking funny to me, sadly the shills usually memory hole it from being posted.
>>736492041it's a game for no one but bungie fanboys that amazingly did not start hating the company for cratering destiny 2
>>736481829!#%$ YOU, I HAD A GOOD TIME.
>>736492107
>>736491194This doesn't make sense though, Arc Raiders lives rent free in maratroons heads because it's actually successful
>>736490402Schizo
>>736484739>It's a Monday>It's a holiday>It's a weekday>It's a day ending with "y" We know the copes by now anon
>>736491251>We didn't want our game to be successful anyway!Is this where we're at?
>>736492473imagine unironically defending the biggest extraction slop right nowgo back zoomie
Would also like to contribute that it was Bungie that convinced Sony and that cuck of the CEO to buy firewalk studio and go all in on ConcordSo Bungie is also responsible for the biggest flop in history
long haul status?blast havers? where are you?
>>736493637Is this the player stability and retention that I've heard so much about?
>>736482248>highguard budget >200M>marathon budget >250M >on top of 3.6B that sony paid for buy them >can't even make back the 250M>will never make back the 3.6B>will get axed and acked
>>736491994>Zero in china, obviously.most australians, like myself, play on the singapore servers instead of sydney. there are more chinese players on the singapore servers than any other country in the asia pacific region. doing a web search for you because you need a source, we can see they also like the eu and na servers too. so, as i said, hunt is very popular in china.
>>736493878>to buy them oh no I've made a typo, it's over isn't it
>>736482248...it is a complete failure though lmao. bungie ain't sending their best shilloids for this one. EOS announcement imminent
>>736481829You know it's grim as fuck when 8 year old Hunt Showdown has more players than your game and Hunt players already call their game dead
>>736491116it was mogged by left 4 dead 2 of all games a few days ago LOL. bungie should've hired more fags and trannies to make this slop, that surely would've worked
>it's slowly bleeding to death instead of exploding so it's not a concordmaybe the troons win this particular semantic argument but your game is still fucking dying lmao
>>736494331>maybe the troons win this particular semantic argumentgo tell your friends>>736494047>>736493878>>736490608>>736486457>>736486262>>736485695>>736484546>>736483587
Who was looking at those design and thought "yeah that will totally make money!" ffs?Did DEI rules go to the point of hiring blind artists for inclusiveness?
>736494591>i replied to everyone, what nowthe troon shills sure are desperate
>>736494591>hasn't read the entire postLOL! splendid seethe. ready for an end of service or are you still in the cope phase?
>>736494802which post?
>>736494663I too wonder who could be behind this tasteless visual vomit tripe
why am i being blamed for this i didn't even do anything
>>736494591Winning a pointless discussion about how to define the speed of the Marathon's death still ends with Marathon being dead, moron.
>>736495041fuck do I careI told you how its going to play out but you called me an indian and shill so now you have to deal with my told-you-so
>>736482248Instead it was a veilguard tier failure. Chuds are eating crow, lmao.
>>736494331Concord lasted two weeks, Highguard a monthIf Marathon stops getting updated two months in and shuts down in half a year, then it's your average live service flop
>>736494123Only thing Marathon did was make hunt and gray zone more popular kek
>>736492473That image was one of a dozen the paid Marathon shills were using, because part of their marching orders required them to sperg out over Arc and shit on whenever possible. Yes, I know how ironic the image is since Arc's numbers didn't even move when Marathon got released, but still.
>>736494123We all know that Hunt cost almost a half a billion to develop and market. Those numbers are terrible, anon.Oh wait, did I say Hunt? I meant Marathon.
>>736496240Do you think posting wojaks will change the fact that it flopped or what
>>736491882Not a chance. If it makes it to 2 months, then they might as well let it ride to season 2.
>>736496912no but it wont change the fact you allow mentally ill fags to live rent free in your head all day lmao
>>736496912It's a tactic the shills adopted two weeks ago when it was clear the game had flopped and Cryo didn't save it. All the shills can do now is try to make fun of anons for laughing at Marathon flopping, but it just comes across as the meme pic of the tranny standing in the room with a bleeding crotch, being laughed at, while thinking to xirself 'heh. Rent free.'
>>736485886>implying he can't do bothuh oh poorfaggot moment! Can't afford a second monitor or a phone Jamal? Surprised you haven't stole one yet thirdy.
>>736493052Based Bungie.
The shills are low energy these days, wonder if Bungie finally cut off their """marketing"""" budget cause all they do nowadays is regurgitate week old talking points and literally posting marketing gameplay videos as a gotchaWouldn't be surprised if they're all bots following the same script to cut costs
>>736497376They just rely on the indians like tahnit to do it for free
>>736497154>Starts talking about trannies againI mean the wojak poster does have a point
I'M HAVING A BLAST
>>736492817And who's paying you to defend Marathon? Why can't he like Arc Raiders? Does it make you upset that he likes something you don't? I think you're both retarded faggots, but at least he's not a frog posting retarded faggot.
>>736492041
>>736493637I love seeing these garbage extraction shooters fall the fuck off. What a dogshit genre.
>>736497154>literally can't go two sentences before outing himself as a sharty troon schizo
>>736494663I like the art style. I'm not surprised that it's really divisive, though. But I also probably wouldn't have even looked in Marathon's direction if it looked like sci-fi shooter #10617438.
>>736497509Bungie and their employees do that.
>>736495136>>I told you so!>shit literally everyone has been sayingWell, anyway, maybe (You) should post something meaningful next time.
>>736497565>extraction shooter>filtersure, in the same way competitive smash and smogon filter insufferable faggots out of kids games
>>736497509bungie literally employs these freaks and they're part of the reason the game looks like it does and that it flopped so your point is moot, shilloid
>>736497719That doesn't mean you should stoop to their level
>>736494663This is what happens when these freaks infested the entire industry and then the market rejects it all at once. They’re STILL drilling this shit into the heads of young creatives, we have decades of them failing ahead of us, its all rotten. Buy indie. Buy eastern. Root on the collapse of all this gay shut every fucking time. Never stop. Drive them insane and up their suicide rates. They wouldn't hesitate to do it to you.
>>736482248It quite literally is. Instead of a quick, clean death lke Concord, it's dying slowly of sepsis which is much more entertaining IMO.
>>736497793I checked the art director and it is not a troon so your point is moot
>>736497673Funny, I think the art style is amongst the worst and most generic I’ve ever seen. Genuinely visually offensive, an assault on the senses.
>>736497801Shut the fuck up, pussy. This is a war. Fuck you and your pussy ass bullshit. In war against an opponent with no rules or morals, you will lose if you try to adhere to some vague moral code because they don’t have that burden weighing them down and they will exploit you because of it. Shut the fuck up and don’t ever inject your stupid fucking opinion into this conversation ever again you worthless fucking bitch.
>>736497719>>736497793>bungie totally hires their employess to shill and spam on an image board that has held no relevancy to the gaming industry>my source?>just trust me bro
>>736497903>most generic I’ve ever seenI get not liking Marathon's art style, but calling is "generic" is asinine.
>>736497973Lol
>>736497801They've garnered antipathy and schadenfreude is more fun than their games.
>>736497973it's time to dilate, steven
>>736497901>>736497978I did hear intensinal parasites give you severe brain fog but try actually reading the posts you're replying to next time instead of doing whatever this is supposed to be lmao
>>736498017No, buying it and playing it is asinine. Bungie is so “original” with their “art” and “creative” that they had to steal it first lmao and here you are telling me my eyes are wrong pfffffffffff
>>736498112Is that why trannies freak out and murder people when people don’t call their ugly balding fatass female, because men are fragile?
>>736497978>the point of my “argument?>just a heckin feminine dismissive green text of course!Wow how gay
>>736498139>completely dodges getting called on xer bullshit
>>736497506That shill in specific is very funny cause he went out of his way to put a BJ pfp to larp as a white guy while having the most Indian name possible kek

I hope is survives and improves.>Bungie is so “original” with their “art” and “creative” that they had to steal it first lmao and here you are telling me my eyes are wrong pfffffffffffBungie shouldn't have stolen those textures, but this isn't relevant to the point I was making. Marathon stands out visually, whether you like the art direction or not. Saying otherwise is stupid.
>>736498516>N-no uYou lost
>>736498486>>736497901 disproved your point almost immediately loli think you're the one projecting siror is it maamsorry i dont mean to misgender you
>>736498497You won't do that, the solution is to ignore them but that requires some mental fortitude
>>736498585it stands out as much as any other shitty game has in the past. Remember Hyperscape?
>>736498507>thats all it is, a visual barf>a barfHello, Saar.
>>736498590how quickly the sharty fag crumbleshas no arguments left because he cannot comprehend the idea of having a critical thinking brain
very embarassin behaviour saars, getting found out is the way to lose izzat
>>736498609Ignoring them while they took over the industry is why we have to ignore all their AAA video games now, right? Maybe that method is actually fucking retarded and these freaks wont stop until they’re permanently removed.
blastbros....yesterday at 1 pm est 23853, today 17730.
>>736498673>Remember Hyperscape?No.
>>736498725yeah that generally happens when weekends end you dumb neet
>>736497506Tahnit is less a shill at this point and more of a lolcow, especially since he started roleplaying as Durandal on xitter and is ranting about blasting transphobes into space.
>>736482248how is it not? they also killed destiny for this
wonder if the shills actually think doing damage control here will suddenly make the chuds buy their game in shame?>I just showed those filthy chuds how bigoted they are, now they will be forced to buy my dying game to atone for their crimes
>>736498737exactly my point
>>736498601>triples downyou might legitimately be retarded. let me break it down for you - point to the bullshit in the following statement:>bungie literally employs these freaks and they're part of the reason the game looks like it does and that it flopped so your point is moot, shilloidjust because you hallucinated I said the art director is a tranny and "disproved" it does not make it so hahah>inb4 art director is the only one that matters thoughyeah and he allowed his subordinates to steal from a tranny for which he then had to apologize lmao. anything else, pseud?
>>736498673>HyperscapeNo, but looking it up, it's an example of something that's both generic and bad. Look at those fucking street tiles. I have those in my city.
>>736498815This hypothetical is exactly why they will only lose for the foreseeable future. They’re so incredibly unpopular its insane, and soon, that disgust will turn into hatred, and then, they will be removed.
>>736498704Sure, isn't that the point of chuddha? Ignore them until they crash the AAA industry, no point in thinking about something you hate dailyWaste of energy
>>736498865kei you street tile autist. it is as visually unique as marathon, which is to say, not very.
...
>>736498815they're scamming jeets, of course they don't care if their employer will benefit. they're paid to post for x amount of time and that's what they do. they tend to eat literal dung, there's no rhyme or reason to what they do
>>736498992Would
>>736498920When you "do nothing" you continue to allow the bad people who make these games to continue making these bad games. They will just hop to another studio. Any change worth doing requires effort but I get it, the people that push "do nothing win" are NEETs who want to pretend them being afraid of going outside is some form of protest and they are doing something.
>YOU'RE INDIAN!>NO, YOU'RE INDIAN!What the fuck has this board become?
>>736497978Bungie doesn't directly hire shills to come to 4chan, they hire marketing firms to 'boost engagement' or 'mindshare' or whatever bullshit buzzward justifies their big price tags, and those marketing firms in turn hire 'guerilla' marketing companies like Babel Media and others to do stealth marketing.You probably don't remember because you're a retarded mongoloid tourist, but the two weeks around Marathon's 'server slam' had paid shills so active on /v/ that even jannies were deleting threads left and right because they were making too many of them.Then as soon as the first weekend ended after the game came out, 90% of the shills mysteriously vanished, almost like their contracts ended.
>>736496240Counterpoint:
>>736499123Indian coded post
>>736499063You're not achieving anything either other than letting hate fester in your mindThey're gonna hop to another studio even with hundreds of seething 4chan posts
>>736498920Right retard, just cede the ground to the enemy and get out of their way. Thats how you win! Fucking pussy.
>>736499178>brain dead low IQ brain "no u" replyI never said I am doing anything. I am just pointing out retard NEETs who think they are by doing nothing aren't either. You can't "no u" here jeet.
>>736482248concord prophecy still happening the timeline is on the right path
>>736499178I disagree. I’d rather thousands of young men obsess over this issue until it drives them crazy enough to kill all of them. The left has already done most of the work, everyone hates them yet they double down, and then your pussy ass is over here saying “nah bro just like relax and watch a movie or something its all good” No nigger. Kill them all.
>>736499190You're not fighting a war here, nobody gives a shit about what we sayIf you really want to fight them take it to somewhere else where it matters
>>736499282You’re going to be making this thread in six months saying it’ll die any day now
I actually bought the game, unlike the shills. The game is good. The product is bad. Worst UI I've ever used, it takes 3 menus to start a game assuming you do zero prep or management IN AN EXTRACTION SHOOTER. Looting sucks, dropping items sucks, selling items requires you individually sell each one with a delay on each sell. The game isn't actually woke, like, at all. The characters are designed to appeal to NOBODY. Not even the trannies genuinely like this because it doesn't even pander to them.Everything about actually playing is good but the devs hate you and make playing the game as hard as possible
>>736499329I already do irl. And yes, the war infects everything. Thats why they spam their bullshit here too. Again you're quick to tell me to be quiet, while you seem to struggle with doing the same to them. Curious. How about you eat shit and kill yourself? Sound good?
>>736499451Who are you quoting
>6k viewers >Over half are one guy LOL
>>736482248It's a way bigger flop then Concord. Not only did they sacrifice Destiny 2 on the altar of Marathon, not only did they get sold to Sony, not only did Sony them invest 500 million dollars. Yet they launched with a peak of 77k lower then Arc raiders and now they're down to 30k peaks and they're losing 10% of the player based a week consistently since it released.This is way way worse then Concord. It will tank sony, literally destroy bungie and it's gonna take all the Bungie games already developed with them.
>>736499442>I shit up everything around me both online and irl but it’s YOU who should kill yourselfThe gun’s whispering to you buddy, you just gotta put the barrel up to your ear to understand
>>736499442Nah I'm gonna chill and not think about this fabricated e-war daily
>>736498840>allowed his subordinates to steal from a trannysee I always see you sharty fags make this point all the timeand it ultimeltey proves you are the actual trannies who are seething at bungie because they abandoned destiny 2 lmao>art director is the only one that matters thoughthat is correct and they have employed freaks but the whole team isnt full of trannys lmaoyou are so buck broken by your own people its kinda sad now
>>736482613Get this: people find the genre enjoyable
>>736482248first post, reminder that brown people have no concept of anything beyond the present post

>>736499665Thats not what either of those posts say though Who are you quoting?
>>736499063I 'do nothing' for these shit games by not purchasing them, and spend that money on other vidya like Crimson Desert or Arc. Shitty devs will get nepo hired at other shitty studios forever (even the Concord character designer got a job at Blizzard, lmao), and that doesn't change how I won't purchase their crappy games
>>736495914It's hilarious because Arc Raiders was censored in Marathon's chat
>>736499790>continues to make up strawmen>moves the goalpostyawn. thanks for playing rakjesh
>>736499965Watching woke media isn’t fun though thats why it fails every time
Marasissies are made to be raped by the DOOMGODS. They love their constant humiliation ritual as their game bleeds out. Sony will rape Bungie and shut down Marathon forever, it is inevitable. Marathon was raped by TF2's rotting bloated corpse, Marathon was raped by some random ass extraction shooter adding PvE and most of all Marathon was raped by Arc Raiders the far superior game.
>>736500028They literally censored the word "plagiarism" but nobody talks about how crazy that is for some reason. The arc raiders shit is tame by comparison
>>736499965That's the clown pill? That just seems normal to me

>>736499625>biggerMonetarily, probably.>way biggerNo. It bears repeating, but Concord is a once in a decade megabomb that stands on its own. Here are some of the amazing highlights from that whole mess:>free playtest had FEWER players than the paid playtest>on release, it couldn't break 700 concurrent players (not 7000, not 70000, seven fucking hundred)>the toxic positivity was so insane in the studio they had an entire cinematic universe being built with an animated series, websites, merch, and a yearlong roadmap>the studio even had legitimately insane people on staff, like 'The Professor' who allegedly tried to have all unvax'd staff get fired>performance was so bad Sony not only killed the game in two weeks, they refunded everyone who bought it and remotely uninstalled it from their PS5sIf you weren't on /v/ during the Concord Saga, you missed one of the most amazing periods in the board's history.
>>736500212Based aim for the center off mass you don’t want to graze yourself
>>736500105Really? Any screencaps or Twitch clips? Because that's hilarious since it is way more deliberate than censoring the names of popular competing games.
>Jeetsisters thinking anyone cares about Destiny 2 beyond using it as proof that bungie is long past being able to make a good game.Jeetsisters, I think the cowpatty in the sky is calling us home

>Marathon shill is a circlejerktroon Is anyone surprised?
>>736500349All true sisters aim for the heart because of that early NCIS episode where the tranny shoots himself in the chest because it is a more "feminine" form of suicide
>>736500452Anon, me spending my money on games I consider good while ignoring the ones I consider bad IS me doing something. Vidya is a for profit industry and the free market decides what lives and what dies usually. Wukong lived while Concord died because of that, and no matter of woke trumpeting changed the outcomes for those games, just as it won't change the outcomes for CD or Marathon.>>736500463No, and they always stick out like yuppies trying to larp as people who live in the countryside. It's embarrassing.

>>736500674Doing nothing is not doing something NEET. You are not doing anything positive unless you are forcibly removing the nepo hires and terrible people in charge because they will keep making games even if the government has to pay. You and other NEETs on this site keep deluding yourself that hiding in your basement all day is a form of protest that is going to cause change.

Imagine if missions were developed to be fun. Imagine if there were social mechanics to the map content. Imagine if cryo was as cool as it looked and the boss was fun to fight. I liked walking around and looting for a couple hours but the game falls apart once you're on the boring treadmill for better gear. For what? The PvP isn't good and the PvE is boring. The game is best enjoyed as a solo where you can be more immersed but systems aren't designed for it, it was a last minute addition to appease criticism. If I'm going to drag my buddies into a game I would rather play better FPS games. This is the kind of game that can be improved like a year later but I keep wondering how you manage to make something that seems cool turn out so boring. And the guns man what were they thinking with the designs? I hate how the guns look. Just ask gun companies to give you riced out futuristic looking gun prototypes ffs
>>736499569This is the real proof the game is as good as dead

>>736500831Don't usually watch le streamers but watched a bit when "doc" was playing Marathon. My first impression after 20 minutes was that it is just simply very boring. It also tries to be cool but it's hard to see it that way.Tarkov isn't any better, it's a bad game but it still inherently more interesting I suppose.

>>736501564>no argumentthanks for playing
Do we went from this game will be a,smashing success to this game will be a slow burn success story like NMS to it didn't fail as badly as you think it did?Whats the next step "so what if it failed it still made an impact no matter how minor"
>>736501009it can compare to counterstrike in the sense that players can die in 1 second and have to maneuver strategically but then the matches are 10x longer so there's 10x less action.

>>736501595>not supporting a for profit corporation financially is literally nothing and ensures the flop slop creators will always be employedso you ARE retarded lmao
>>736501462>it's doing worse numbers than when they pulled the cord on concordAnon, Concord never hit 1k concurrent players.
>>736501814Yes NEET even the people who made Concord moved onto other studios almost like doing nothing does nothing
>>736501872It did in the beta actually. That's one thing both these games had in common is they did better in their betas which is very strange to see
>>736501368that dudes case was dismissed btw
>>736501774>garlic shooterlmao is that an onirism weapon or something
>>736501886All 170 employees? I don't think you can even name 5 who got rehired
>>736501741Next step will be “it failed due to you chuds’ hate campaigns”
>>736501961is it really? first off, the beta is free meaning a way larger pool of players, second, if the beta shows the game fucking sucks then a lot of potential buyers won't give it a second chance. it's not really weird, just a sign the game was doa
>>736501886>slop flop reached EOS in two weeks BUT some of the retards responsible fell upwards so you not buying and making fun of it in the process meant nothingit was funny so for that alone it was worth it, but okay, I'll bite - what do you imply is the best course of action here?
>>736502064Nope just the ones on top that create all these terrible games. The devs that just follow orders are the ones that get punished NEET
>>736502198>some of the retards responsible fell upwardsYup and they will move to a new studio or form a new one and try again.
>>736502261>I was just following orders
>>736502339They can dedicate the rest of their life to failure. That's a very ironic punishment
>>736502339...and? sounds like a problem for the one employing these hacks, not mine. LOL
What's the shut down number? When do they give up?
>>736482613Extraction shooters let lower skill players win with snowballing better gear and except for arc, encourages them to steamroll lesser players with worse gear. The ones at the top love it. So the dudes with the biotoxic disenjectors who take all the red cards then block the only available extraction, making sure everyone else loses their gear are having a great time.
>>736502367They are lowly devs thats literally their jobs.>>736502480and they will make sure to give them six figure salaries the entire time because people are doing nothing>>736502484games continue to be shit as you continue to do nothing

>>736502591>Extraction shooters let lower skill players win with snowballing better gearBut enough about arena shooters
>>736484546Yes, however, both are the result of Bungie's work, concord being made of ex bungie that bungie convince Sony to hire and double the budghttps://boards.4chan.org/v/thread/736481829#p736491194et.

>>736498815The company line is that it's only a very small, numerically irrelevant group who's shitposting is causing bad first impressions, athat are causing games to fail, and if you just counter that, you win. Doesn't seem to be working.

a questiondo developers visit 4chan? like, they decide to browse the board, see this thread making fun of their game and concurrent players. what do they think?i mean, this place is not a "safe" censored space, users say nigger and faggot here. it's probably very different from their usual online habitat.
>>736503653aight do point to the replies to:>what do you imply is the better course of action here? >what do YOU do that's not "nothing"?
>>736503718Maybe this is an alien concept for someone like you. But public humiliation is really painful for people with self-respect. And while millionaires are barely human they have massive egos
>>736502641You can't even shitpost correctly about the games you pretend to play.>>736503121It's a AAAA from Bungie. Filter or be exposed as being that fucking dumb.
Why do YOU want games you don't play or have any interest in playing to fail?
>>736503834>>736499273
>>736503941I think it's funny when ugly games made by women fail
>>736503715Pretty sure they already had sony breathing down quite a while ago. Leaving the servers up isn't going to prevent sony from restructuring the studio.
>>736503854>But public humiliation is really painful for people with self-respectYea and there it is. People in positions of powers do not give a single fuck especially egotistical ones see Trump
>>736501961>did better in betaConcord had two betas: the first was paid, the second was free. I don't remember the numbers exactly, but there's no way the paid Concord beta broke 150k (which is what Marathon's free beta did), and then Concord's free beta had worse numbers than its paid beta.
>>736502054Gilroy Garlic Festival in California, lots of good food there.t. fatfuck
>>736502560The shut down number is whenever Sony decides they're tired of losing money on Bungie. The big Sony investor call in a month could give some insight.
>>736503941The AAA portion of the industry has been living without suffering the consequences of its actions for too long. Seeing it fail is appropriate retribution.
>>736504014Trump spends several hours a day on twitter. He's obsessed with his self-image. This is like the worst example you could have used
>>736503953okay, so you pretend to care about the topic and suggest others are not doing enough while doing nothing about it yourself. super impressive. now what's an answer to question>what do you imply is the better course of action here?
>>736503941Because I want MY thing, and then companies tell me that not only will I not get more of the thing I want, but they will change it to something I hate irrates me. Samething happened with Prey, I liked the story and the game but bethesda cancels the sequel and then change another games name to it so any hope of the game I liked will be forgotten and never come back.This Marathon is same deal, and instead of having to be hit again, I have chance to strike back.
>>736481829k, keep me posted
>>736481829Most blatantly botted game in recent history. Steamcharts look sloppily obvious
marasissies getting this clitty BUSTED
>>736502938Probably true. What's good is that they're seeing real consequences. Many projects getting cancelation announcements. Meanwhile Clair Obscure and Crimson Desert are selling. These Western antagonists who've infested the industry can't make swill forever. My point in reply to the chain of comments is that is IS effective to do almost nothing. Simply do not buy the slop and mock them for the idiots and weird activists that they are. They will continue to lay people off and cancel projects. At the end of it they go away as real developers and team leaders begin to pick up the slack.
>HAUL?LONG!>FORM?RETURNED!>BLAST?HAD!
>>736504135Trump says and does stupid shit every day all day and doesn't care that is the most perfect example refuting your garbage>>736504145>okay, so you pretend to careNope from when I got into this thread my argument was that you "do nothing win" NEETs are delusional and explained why. You are now frustrated because your "no u" didn't work and you can't deflect back to me due to your low IQ
>>736481829I don’t even think about this game. I never had any interest. I am the average gamer.
>>736503121NTA, but I like these threads because watching a high profile flop happen is just entertaining to me. It's not like the catalog isn't full of 80% trash at any given point anyway.>>736503803>do developers visit 4chanYes some of us do. I didn't work on Marathon, but I've seen alleged Bungie and Snoy employees post. Most of the time they're just the 'keep my head down and be thankful for having a paycheck' types. If you're expecting the lefty/troon devs to post on 4chan, you're out of your mind because they only stay in hugboxes where toxic positivity can flourish and people get banned for no-no words.
>>736500831filtered
>>736504271The biggest tell to me is both how the game miraculously never goes beneath 10k so far, and how the jump back after the weekly maintenance is almost instant. Both of those seem very suspicious.
>>736504407GOAT
>>736504305>is IS effective to do almost nothing. Simply do not buy the slop and mock them for the idiots and weird activists that they areyep. seeing them try to pivot and imply this doesn't work while their slops flop and lose them millions is so funny. if doing nothing wouldn't work they wouldn't employ an army of mouthbreathers to incompetently try and sway opinion here by spamming "I am having a blast!"
>>736504160>muh shitty doom 3 modPrey 2017 is one of the best games ever made btw>This Marathon is same dealNo, Classic Marathon is good and Marathon is respectful to its roots with how it manages lore and worldbuilding (because it deserves respect unlike Prey 2006)
strong buy signals
>>736504160prey 2006 was mid, and lol "marathon tried to hurt me"
>>736504361Trump literally paid to make a new social media website because he got banned from twitter. The idea that he doesn't care about his image is so ridiculous. You really will just say whatever to win an internet argument
>>736504361it does work though because the games do flop, lose money, and close lmao. you've dodged the question yet again btw:>what do you imply is the better course of action here?
>>736504361>doesn't carefucking lol, the faggot wears makeup and you think he doesn't care about his image?
>>736494331>>it's slowly bleeding to death instead of exploding so it's not a concordThat's just explicitly true. Not every failure or even catastrophic flop is a Concord. It takes a very unique pedigree to be a Concord, and it's something not even Highguard had. Highguard exploded like three feet off the launch pad, which is it's own spectacular sort of fuck up, distinct from failures to launch (Hyenas) and just very bad performers (Highguard and Marathon)
>>736503941because i hate bungie and want them to fail
>>736497719Ok yep, good riddance.
>>736504758>Highguard exploded like three feet off the launch padI meant Concord exploded three feet off the launch pad but whatever, you probably get my point.
>>736504776Marathon sold more than Death Stranding 2 lol

I don't need to say what the "better course" that was never my argument.

>>736501167That's what I'm saying bro. How in god's name do modern game studios spend so much money developing the most generic shit? Is it the dev salaries or something else? I feel like if you gave even a quarter of marathon's budget to a smaller AA or indie studio they'd be able to put out something much better.
I figured they were saying that for makreting purpose and just kind of ignored the statement.
>>736505262Swear I heard they sold less than 2 mil.
>>736505363yeah I think you're right
>>736505491The only official number bungie gave was 400k discord users. It's grim.
>>736505491There have been speculations from people like Paul Tassi but no official announcement of number of games sold. If Marathon were doing well I'm sure we would have heard it by now. All we know officially is there are 400,000 groomers in the Marathon Discord.
>>736505491Tassi spoke to Bungie and says it sold 1.2m copies, likely less considering they haven't released official figures after a month
marathon has made additional related sales from the deluxe edition, the season pass and even their merch store
lol
>>736506253yeah I'm sure this additional $700 will convince sony not to shut em down for at least another decade+. we're in it for the long haul xisters!
>>736506253yeah man all that shit that even the resetera troonies call underwhelming will definitely save the game, for sure
>>736486457>there are at least 10k people playing halo 2 right nowDamn, that's a lot of limbless ex-marines on benefits
Crimsaar desert lostMarathon won
>>736506763why did dysgenic trannies and jeets try to meme these games into a competition?both suck cock and they aren't even in the same genre
>Crimsaar desert lost>Marathon won
>>736506871more lies and bullshit>10-15min matchmakinganother lying doomerfaggot that doesn't even have the game
>>736506871>even retardera has done the math nowgrim
>>736506934correct
>>736506871>from my UK experienceThis guy doesn't have the game btw
>TWENTY SIX PERCENT lower player numbers compared to the same time yesterdayGames Dead Jim
>>736507076>people play less on monday holy shit1!!!!!
>>736506947>>736507063Marathon lost dude. It flopped
>>736507153so why did it get a whole month of threads and counting?
>>736507141Cope.
>>736504160Prey is dead and forgotten and Human Head legacy is Redfall
>>736507231>so why did it get a whole month of threads and countingBecause it's funny to make fun of how badly it failed?
>>736497849They want to please so many people in detriment of gamers and fail to realize who pays the bills.
>>736506871>All the PVEtrash pandering f2pslop or 20 dollars games are played more, that means Marathon is deadLOL>10-15 minute matchmaking timesLOL I'm in EU and it takes 15 seconds to get a match.RetardEra and /v/ both trying to doomerpost about a game is a surefire green flag
>>736504758I disagree with this. Highguard was definitely Concordian. Marathon isn't Concordian but it does look to be a flop.
>>736482248They are dumb for calling it correctly?
>>736507495>Paid game that sold 2 millions is a flop because... uh.... 6 billion of budget
>>736507141its down 5k compared to last mondayits still dropping
>>736482248Holy shit the cope
>>736507554yeah that's what flopping means you dumb ESL faggot kid. when media flops it fails to make back it's budget. A movie that costs 500 million and makes back 499 million would be a flop
>>736507638source on the budget?
>>736507554Marathon hasn't sold 2 million.
>>736507365sure thing pal, Tarkov and Hunt launched to infinitely more absymal numbers and then grew after a slew of updates
>>736507673I'm replying to the numbers you chose yourself in your own post you absolute chimp nigger retard
>nope marathon was a success sorry
>>736507695yes it did1.3M on Steam alone (Playtracker, which correctly estimated Arc Raiders and Hunt game sales before those were made public)
>>736507748Hunt literally grew because Marathon was so shit LMAO
>>736482248But it failed?
have sex incels
>>736507842Hunt relesed to a dozen thousand concurrent players and got 10 dollar copies sales booost with the Spring sale, but whatever you say pal
>>736507748did either start off with almost -$4B dollars?
>>736507830>Resorting to just making up sales now LOL
shills are panicking
I hope Bungie buys themselves independent again and a new fucking retarded publisher buys them for even more money. Someone like EA this time.
>>736507874nah i'd prefer to keep laughing at your game
>>736507842Do you realize that these games don't peak in player numbers on their 1.0 launch? Loom at Hunt peak less than 2 years ago, even at its peak it had less players than Marathon released with.Now compare the release peaks.Marathon can certainly grow
troonoids where we at?
I'm unironically loving the game. It's also certainly a dying flop. Bungie needs a new fucking UI designer and to do basic levels of market research
>>736507926the numbers you make up in your head? no
>>736507952They own and make every decision with the game what else does he want to happen?
>>736507952I dont think a single change to this game could help its player count and salesthey didnt stick the landing, thats it, its done, they fucking blew it
>>736505402>is it the dev salaries?It is 90% this, because in almost all tech companies, employee salaries are the largest expense. 100 people earning even 100k a year is an immediate $10m a year, and that's before you add in taxes, benefits, rent for the building, computers, software, and whatever else. Shit's expensive, m8.
>>736508043posting in the marathon discord of course! (but not actually playing it)
>>736508071open your eyes and open your heart
>>736508079There are people that believe it going f2p will save it and while it might save player numbers, it’s not saving any revenue since game isn’t set up for selling cosmetics and shit like that properly.
>>736508059the UI is great though, 100% you and every other twitter retard and reviewer would do an infinitely worse job and everybody would shit on YOUR attempt at it. Truth is you need to learn the game and that requires time, when you do the UI makes sense
>>736508079I heard the term visual vomit thrown around here. The game is an eyesore. A neon-colored mess.
>>736508139>Sony bought Bungie exclusively for their first new game to make its cost back in 2 yearsholy shit I see now, you are fucking retarded
>>736508170What do you mean? Its battlepass is clearly designed with agressive mtx in mind.
Sony can't stop hitting those home runs! FairGame$ next!
>>736506253And those are all offset by people getting keys for cheap through resellers, for free (through bundles or other shit), or elsewhere, just like with MTX giveaways in Twitch.It's safer to assume all copies sold were just at the regular US retail price of $40. And even that is generous because it lumps the foreign copies in too, and those could've been sold at lower exchange rates than USD $40.
>>736508265yeah Sony probably bought them to not make any money back for decades. great point.
>>736508265What the fuck else did they buy it for? Destiny? The game they killed for marathon?
>>736481829
>>736508284Because it’s all garbage only total retards would spend on.
>>736508071>$3.6B studio acquiring cost + $300M estimated development cost is all made up in my head and not officialhahahaha holy cope
>>736504071the free beta had worse numbers than the paid onethat's how fucking bad that shit was
>>736508349>Unrelated shit plus numbers I made up in my headLOL
>>736508423what is the true budget, enlightened one?bless us with your more accurate source
This other random extraction shooter has more players rn
>>736508295look at all those flopped slop
>>736508423>~300 developers worked on Marathon (confirmed by game director Joe Ziegler)5-6 years of development (started ~2020, shipped March 5, 2026)Fully loaded cost per AAA dev in Seattle: $150K–$200K/year.>300 devs × 5 years × $175K average = ~$262 million. The widely circulated $250M estimate checks out. And that's before marketing, which for a game of this profile could easily add another $50–100M.how does it feel to get btfo'd twice in the span of 10 minutes? hahaha
>>736506871I wonder if the chartanon from our threads is this RedbullCola guy. The autism seems similar. I'm also amazed he hasn't been banned for wrongthink/hatespeech yet.>>736506947>>736507063>>736507461You now recall matchmaking was so bad in the UK that Bungie had to broaden the matchmaking while also referring to it (and Italy) as 'remote regions' get dunked on bongs and pastafags>>736507673Five years dev time, 300 staff (average), $150k annual average Seattle tech salary. Plus marketing. Plus operational costs. $250m is the low end.>>736507830No, it sold an estimated 1.1-1.3m across all platforms where Steam/PC is 70% of all sales. >>736508074It sounds like he wants to say 'Bungie needs to do something desperate to save the game before it bleeds to death,' but he can't/won't go that far.>>736507231Because /v/ loves laughing at flops and catastrophes. You'd know this if you've been on the board more than a week.
>>736508423>Seething jews lost 4 billion dollarsLOL
>>736508634Wtf is making them money right now? MLB and Helldivers? How active is gt7 online?
>>736508423Sony did indeed buy Bungie for $3.6 billion.
The shill has actually resorted to just plugging his ears, closing his eyes and pretending nothing is true >They didn't actually pay $3.6b for Bungie>Marathon didn't have a AAA budget >It didn't flop Just give up already
>>736508762Sony makes the most of its vidya money through MTX transaction fees. So when some retard kid buys a skin in CoD for $20, Sony gets $6 of that. I wish I was kidding.
>>736508762>Wtf is making them money right now?playstation+, madden and fifa is my guess
>>736508191>Vault full>Navigate to item>Hold sell key>Wait 2 seconds to sell>Repeat 50 times>Go to join match >Confirm 3 times>Pick up items>Full inventory >Right click drop everything when everything else in the game interacts by holds
>>736508825I saw that. Sony literally makes its lion share skimming fortnite/gtaO purchases
does anyone wanna be my friend? im tired of crew fill i have a mic
>>736508865Stop being so fucking transphobic
>>736508607hilarious because that game looks like it cost $100 to make
>>736508339see >>736508012
>>736508992it was literally made by a mobile dev team making lazy UE5 garbage for the first time ever, and it's still objectively a superior experience compared to Bugies new flagship fps title
>>736508949It's the same reason why Valve is so fucking rich, being the merchant who sells the product is so much better and safer than being than dev who makes the product.
>>736508865See, you are fucking retarded>Navigate to item>Hold sell key>Wait 2 seconds to sell>Repeat 50 timesThis exists not to accidentally sell anything, but you can right click to open up a menu and left click oon various actions to speed it up>Go to join match>Confirm 3 timesYou confirm you are ready and then deploy as crew leader when all team members have a ready loadout, but you are a solo incel>Pick up items>Full inventory>Right click drop everything when everything else in the game interacts by holdsyou can simply hold them out of the gridRetard
What's the lowball development budget for Marathon? $150 million? Even if the game sold 2 million, it would still be a flop. The only question remains is when they will pull the plug. They're losing millions keeping this game alive.
>>736499360if in a month's time the game is still live with 10k players or less, would you think he is wrong?
Okay no but seriously just imagine how pissed Sony is right now
>>736508727>No, it sold an estimated 1.1-1.3m across all platforms where Steam/PC is 70% of all sales.bullshit>>736508727>You now recall matchmaking was so bad in the UKno it wasn't>Because /v/ loves laughing at flops and catastrophes.No, /v/ loves to dunk at games that filter them and trigger FOMO. This includes a lot of RTS and competitive PVP games. Most players here are bad and insecure, go make a multiplayer RTS thread and see the spergout it causes
Just play Marathon good friends. It is best extraction shooter game of the year 2026. Once it sinks your hooks in you, you will be having blast time. Last match I played was intense.
>>736509267anon they been pissedbungie has given them absolutely nothing out of this deal and now they have a $300m flop on top of that they'd probably tear that company to shreds if the headline "Sony closes Bungie" didnt look so bad
>>736509197>lowball budget$200m for just development plus $50m for marketingPersonally, I'm estimating:>$300m dev>$150m marketing>they're losing millions keeping the game aliveYes, but only because of staff salaries, which would be about $5m a month I think.
>>736509331>bullshitThe Tassi/Schrier info corroborate this, as do all of the schizo math from /v/ tards. I'm sorry if you don't like it.>matchmaking wasn't badThen please tell me why Bungie had to expand the matchmaking pool for the UK and Italy. I'll wait.
>>736509425reminder Bungie also used their "live service expertise" to shut down TLoU Online so it would compete with Marathon, and then ARC Raiders proved that it would have been a massive success
>>736507952>videos about cheaters
>>736509427>$150m marketingi don't think they spent that much, i barely saw this game shilled anywhere.
>>736509484>The TassiThe Destinytard that wanted this game to fail before it even released? yeah right>SchrierSchreier has NEVER posted anything about Marathon, because the kike is super autistic about being always correct and his reputation as journalist. That means there's no actual news about Maratthon budget or salesThe only estmiates of Steam owners round up in the 1.3M
I feel bad for all the Bungie employees. Imagine all overtime they had to do in the crunch leading up to the release. Their reward? More overtime crunch to push out some kind of half-baked PVE mode that they need to save the game.
>>736508079It needs an hour long mini campaign for each class to draw in NEW people. That's about 6 hours of content Bungie needs to pull out of their ass or this game is gonna be peaking at 10k by May 1
>>736509642>PVEtard seething
>>736509632https://alineaanalytics.substack.com/p/marathon-has-sold-12m-copies-across
>>736509484>Tassi/Schrier infoHOLY SHIT LMAO LITERAL JEW SHILLS
>>736509632>Erm... the guy who has shilled Marathon hars actually wants the game to le fail because.... I'm mentally ill Jesus
>>736509704No one new is ever going to play this castrated garbage. Everyone in the world has completely rejected it.
>>736509721>seethingNo, I'm just not playing.
>>736509727AlineaAnalytics has a sordid history of being wroing about anything and a far more unreliable source than Playtrackerhttps://playtracker.net/insight/game/122845?utm_source=SteamDB>>736509746>>Erm... the guy who has shilled MarathonYou are not fooling anyone, tranny. Paul Tassi has been writing hitpieces against Marathon for 3 years nonstop, including right now, and crying about Destiny 3 nonstop
Tahnit I know you're here you mentally ill fuck
>>736509850Incredibly based. Me? I'm having a blast. Watching this game lose 4.5 Billion dollars is a return to form.
>>736482248It didn’t “die” in two weeks but it’s a very objective and absolute death over a slower and longer period of time. Every week the numbers get lower and lower, it gets a small dead cat bounce by about 3k players then goes even further. Is this really the success you think it is?
>>736509602The marketing includes shit like:>all those live action and fancy trailers from last year when they wanted to launch in September>paying for streamers over and over, including flying them to Seattle for events at Bungie>paying third party marketing companies the paid shill farm ones>and so on$150m dries up quick>>736509632Anon, Tassi is a huge Bungie dickrider and has been for years. He has been really guarded about Marathon and defended it, but not as blatantly as the other pro-Marathon shills.>SchrierHe indirectly confirmed the $300m budget, but hasn't talked about units sold.>>736509736Schrier is a jew for sure, but I don't know if Tassi is. And Tassi has always been a reliable Bungie leaker because he knows a lot of people there.
>>736482415it's the only medieval game currently available. it's a bit like NBA2k or FIFA. people play it because there aren't any other new medieval games
>>736509931I'm sure we could compare the writing of the one fucking retarded shill in this thread and him or someone at bungie and get a match.
>>736509917>His last 2 articles on marathon have literally been glazing the game >THE HITPIECES No tahnit, admitting something is a flop does not mean they hate the game
>>736509931You lostMarathon had the best launch of every extraction shooter ever
>>736510023You lost tranny, just like I told your pathetic Crimson Desert thread. It MADE billions, you LOST billions. Eat shit you retarded troon lmaooooooooooooooooooooo
>>736506871>Marathon getting outsold by GZWThis is too funny to be reality
>>736510116I believe that line is called the "airplane crash".
>>736510116>leaves out Arclol
>>736507141It's a holiday and also spring break.But you wouldn't know that, rajeesh.
>>736506871I didn't know RE had so many economic terrorists in their midsts
>>736510008>>736510079why do you keep lying, you retarded troon?https://youtu.be/oL84qxriu6c?si=FLg-GlzxQMDEGxXXPaul Tassi fucking hates Marathon, hates it since the October playtest because he got filtered like the other Destishit dudebro retards got filtered Bungie accidentally made a good game so the bungietards can't play it (they have low IQ)
>>736510173uh oh, falseflag jammy melty
>>736510308anon... he said extraction shooters
>>736510116Wait a sec, where's Arc Raiders?
>>736510385>Tassi hates MarathonGo actually watch some of his videos. I'd characterize his feeling as wanting the game to succeed, but knowing in his heart that it's doomed and trying to say it in the nicest way possible. The example of a Youtuber who hates Marathon and is all aboard the negative engagement train would be someone like that idiot Dr. Disaster. Go watch some of his videos if you want to see what a hater/grifter actually looks like.>>736510438Yes, and Arc is an extraction shooter with PVP.
>>736510385>muh TTKkek gaming journos
So let me get this straight. Marathon shills are so mindbroken that they think a known Bungie ball glazer being realistic about a games sales makes them an evil chud who wants the game to die?
>>736510405uh oh, shill is having a hard time keeping up between his threads! better hurry troon it's all falling apart!
>>736510308not a first person pvp extraction shooter, arc is basically a fortnite mod for casuals
>>736510540Yes. Like the trannies they are, they will say and do anything at any time to maintain their delusion right up until they do something horrible to themselves or other people to lash out that reality did not confirm to their desires.
>>736510540Yes see >>736508191This is how they treat people that actually like their game btw
>>736510454>Arc raiders>extraction>>736510520lol>>736510520Just because he is not a grifter basedfacing in camera while playing like a retard and saying "game is so bad, chat, right" it doesn't mean he is right about what he says. Also you moved the goalposty from Paul tranny "loves" Marathon to "akthually it wants it to succeed". No he wants it to be bastardized and deviate from its core design because he wants Destiny 3 with seamless Crucible
>>736510571>Arc isn't an extraction game because of my arbitrary definition of what an extractionWhy stop there? Why not add in more qualifiers like 'Extraction shooters have to be colorful' or 'have no PVE at all'? I'm sure you could find some bullshit way to make Marathon #1 at something.
>>736510707>it doesn't count because it destroys my narrativeLMAO
>>736510540yeah. we have to lie about the game's total budget, sale numbers, and leave out arc raiders when comparing it to extraction shooters with a 1/100th of maratroon budget in an attempt to fool absolutely no one all for $0.1 a post. please understand
Marathon won see you in the next bump limit thread
>extration shooter>ABMM>safe pockets>largely walled PVE (not true PVPVE)Calling Arc extraction is like calling COD a mil sim because it has zogbots and modern rifles
>>736510724It's #1 at costing the most money (4.5 billion) and being an abject failure
>>736507830Unreliable source.
>>736510804Won at being the most hated game of the year?
>>736510540They are not concerned about the game's success they only care about the culture war. A particularly retarded culture war to begin with on both sides because Marathon isn't even fucking woke it's just kind of stinky
>>736510707Tahnit, is that You?And if you've been familiar with any of Tassi's content over the years, you'd know he's a Bungie fan that talks about them all the fucking time and trumpets their successes and calls out their failures. He's a borderline shill.>Tassi hates/loves MarathonStop splitting hairs like a fag. He was optimistic until a few weeks ago, then got filtered and said he was going to wait for the reset before trying again. He's also not burying his head in the sand about the state of the game, but that doesn't make him a 'hater' unless your definition is 'anyone who criticizes it is a 'hater', which is what they use on Reddit.>>736510835>Marathon cost $4.5bWhile I love laughing at that idea, it's not fair and not true because it would be like saying Starfield cost $7b since that's what MS paid for Bethesda. The total purchase price includes those games by default, but it doesn't mean that was the only thing they got for that money.
>>736510636They treat them like the retards they are for being proven blatantly wrong
>>736510861PlayTracjker has an actual good track record compared to Alinea lmao>>736510893>Bungie fanWhy do you keep repeating this to deflect. Nobvody said Paul Tranny is not a Bungie fan. Bungie fans are the biggest enemies of MArathon because they are destishit retards too low IQ for the game and angry that it diverts the slightest bit of attention from their franchise.Tassi hated Marathon and made videos about how it is bad which I posted, your lies are pointless, you will never convince anyone that he is not concern trolling and is in good faith
>>736510893You definitely don't seem like you're in a complete panic or anything, you seem like the one laughing for sure.
>>736511030>compared to Alinea lmaoboth are unreliable but alinea is a complete joke
>what will save my game?>Showing people what's good about it? >Making the devs aware of the issues?>Encouraging people to give it a try?>NO. I WILL CALL EVERYONE ELSE RETARDED
