15k peak loll
Hey HeyMy MyMarathon can never die
Does Vandal even have any orifices with which to cum inside
Marathon has been out for 6 weeks and it'sbeen #1 searched game on steam DB for 6 weeks People are obsessed with this games success, it's honestly kind of crazy...i can't think of another game that sat on the top of steam SB search that long.
>thief grapple completely displaces her hitbox and makes tracking shots whiff when they should be able to counter that movementThief is legitimately the most imba shell in the game
>>564204386it is bizarre
Do you have to be some sort of retard / autist to play "hard games"? I know more people who have played and QUIT Souls games like Elden Ring than I do people who played and beat it. I feel like I am taking crazy pills because people make me feel like playing difficult games like extraction shooters, fighters, souls games makes you can autistic retard of some sort. Am I autistic? yes. But I don't think that impacts the games I enjoy. I enjoy marathon. I enjoy souls games. I enjoy fighting games like SSF. If certain games attract autistic retards... which games attract normal minded people?
You'll never guess who owes me sex
Nerf snipers, they are too fucking strong still. Whole squads are running outlands and wipe entire servers.
>>564204386personally I'm obsessed with its failurewe're an hour away from peak and missing 5k players
>>564205131How?
>>5642052835k people are at church rnDuh
>>5642052835k players saw arachne freekit and said nope.
>>564205302No idea man, mag size? Fire rate? Make them all bolt action or something?
>>564205283We're 4 hours away from weekday peaks. Like why bother being disingenuous, the peak is not going to be an impressive number anyways, why lie about it?
Starting to get convinced I'm running into ESPers in solos now, I'm getting flushed out and pushed from frankly ridiculous angles when no one would know I'm there.
>>564205810I can see itthere are a lot of returnersand they probably are still subscribed to their cheats
>>564205131>>564205584The way to fix snipers is give weapons a sort of point loadout system OR make a true "Primary" + "Secondary" weapon setup. Snipers and shotguns are Primary weapon slot only along with ARs etc. Secondaries could be all pistols, maybe SMGs with certain modifiers etc. The issue is that people wielding snipers aren't threatened even up close because they will just easily swap to something better for the range they are being pressed in. I also think there should be no sniper in the game that one shot downs on a body shot. Not sure what the headshot damage one shot break point should be though. All they need to do now is add a few more "side arm" typed weapons and implement primary and secondary weapon slots.
>>564203460DEAD TRANNY GAME
>>564206148An etherstep enforced loadout limit would be nice if Bungie didn't have a few other five alarm fires to get to first.
>>564207196Thats actually an interesting idea. They could even implement things such as "budget" extracts where you can only use a given extract if you are carrying however much value or lower or something. Like you can use these quiet extracts but you can't have a bunch of loot with you. I think there is a lot they can do with extract types. I think adding a "quiet" extract of some sort onto the maps would be a nice change. But just have a caveat of either having to pay some material to open it or something.
MY VAULT IS FULL... FUCK!! I AM NOT EVEN GOOD AT THE GAME. I AM A MID PLAYER! FUCKING KILL ME! I go into solo raids and do aggressive shit and still don't die. I think I extract more in solos than I do in fucking trios. Maybe I just join trios and do aggressive shit. But then thats fucking over team mates maybe. Fuck.
How many Arachne levels do you need for the Rook shotgun?
>>564207637I would camp these extracts to rape players that are already wanting to quit
Does Marathon pass the Bechdel Test?
>>564206148this doesn't work because then people only use the punch which is boring
Why is it that most threads on /vg/ are basically just people complaining about games and not playing them? Almost every single thread is like this. I think the only thread not like this is the fucking engineering game thread or whatever. /egg/?
Why the fuck is Perimeter so sweaty right now
>>564208408Thats fine. I'd rather they have the fucking punch than a sniper AND a WSTR or something. Or even a worse, a sniper in first slot. A bully in second slot AND a fucking WSTR in the backpack to hot swap.
>>564203460how does this game run on lower end pcs?
>>564208609I guess, they just need way more secondary variety in general desu. There should be an uzi and a revolver
>>564204520>tracking shotsYou mean the volt weapons'? They get confused by walking at a brisk pace, of course they're going to miss on a grappling thief
>>564208817Definitely. What I think they could even do is let SMG's be secondaries but only if they have certain weapon mods. So for example, you wouldn't be able to have a tricked out bully for a secondary but maybe a bully with no magazine mod and a "folding" stock mod or something would enable you to use it as a secondary.
>>564209552>the trooned it.
RAILGUNS SUCK THEY FUCKING BLOW COCK, BUFF THEM TO BE AS GOOD AS SNIPERS THEY ARE GAY
>>564210009the railguns charge time should make it a ohko but they have no balls
>>564210009Being hit by a railgun should inflict that mechanized malfunction debuff that slows runners.
so when is that wooster nerf
>>564210342tomorrow
>15k playersOH NONONONO
>>564207957A lot, you’ll need a lot of reflex coils and the blue biomata. Don’t accidentally waste reflex coils on traxus
>>564210069Nah. Nothing in the game should be a oneshot bodyshot kill unless they are on white shield.
Overflow is so fucking worthless if warden isn't up, I only ever find sparkleaf there and maybe a seed every 5 runs and I fucking sweep the whole POI, even the exterior buildings.
>>564211494Welcome to perimeter, yeah Your best bet for biolens is cryo or ViP ranks from nucal and mida
>>564210394shit i have two and i wanted to use them in cryo archive...
>>564211494high level mat rarity is the soup du jour of bitching today on the r*ddit so expect a xweet saying they are lowering it soon
Fills are getting too sweaty at lvl 80. Is solo more tolerable or equally as trash>
>>564212023They’ll still be good, just gonna need to get in the habit of either going in for a melee finish or taking a second to cover and reload. Stack overflow basically allows you to disregard the nerf
>>564212346It's so funny that a melee follow-up is going to negate anything this nerf does. Especially for Destroyer, the most OP frame, does not get punished in any way by this nerf. It's a whole nothingburger nerf. They better fire Ziegler in S2 or this game is DONE, it won't last a year.
>>564206148Just make so you can only have 4 "points" in weapons. Pistols (+V22 I guess) cost 1, SMGs and ARs cost 2, Snipers cost 3. No mixing Outland with a Bully. If you want to be a sniping cunt, you deserve to get raped when a Vandal outflanks you.
>>564212116It’s pretty bad, and distributed oddly with biolens and reflex coils being way more rare than the rest. Personally I think it’s only a major issue in the context of a 3 month reset window. I’d like to see a safe pocket for keys lower than prestige tier maybe just increase drop rates on keys idk. I think it’s a problem how uncommon it is, at least in my experience, to actually see anyone open key rooms, I just started gambling with them recently in fill but I imagine a lot of people are sitting on keys they just don’t want to risk in fills. Ratting for 20 minutes in a solo game is a viable option but not an option most people are interested in taking
Man I'm gonna just do Dmarsh, Perimeter is fucking foul right now
>>564212903Not sure why people think destroyer is overpowered. The jump jets overheat him very quickly. I don't have all the heat upgrades yet so maybe with ALL upgrades its strong like that. But I'd argue everyone gets stronger by having more heat available. The shield is okay but played around easily and you have to preemptive use it the animation is too slow to use it reactively. I am pretty sure the most overpowered frame is thief.
i have 84 hours and my vault is worth 42k and i have 35k credits. is that good? im level 47. i'm planning on losing the weapons, backpacks and shields in the vault to the next rotation of cryo archive
>>564214062Both Thief and Destroyer are S tier by every metric. The rest are pretty fair balance
>>564214359People are looking at that in a very very narrow view. The destroyer is pretty good at combat. Yes. But pretty bad at everything else. His base res speed is ass. Base heal speed is ass. Base heat is actually ass. He also has the same HP as everyone else. Not saying he is bad but he definitely is closer to other shells. If he is S rank, he is like only a miniscule amount above A rank. But he has issues that I hope they address. Honestly, if their balancing issue is the jump jets, fuck it take it away. I imagined the destroyer to be slow and lumbering and tanky. Not some sort of quick skirmisher.
Shell for this feel?
>>564214828>The destroyer is pretty good at combat. Yes. But pretty bad at everything elsethe problem is that 'everything else' isn't a problem even with no upgrades. The part of the game that kills you is other players, and Destroyer being the best at combat with other players pretty plainly makes him the best shell.
>>564215297I'd argue that he is only good at combat as it is currently which is a weird amalgation of shotgun hell and bubble shields. If the combat "meta" ever shifts, he will lose effectiveness incredibly quickly. I'd also argue that destroyer is good on a map like cryo because its corridors etc. If they released a "cryo archive" but with Dire Marsh style sightlines will get the Destroyer fucked up. So yes, destroyer is strong. But I don't think he is strong BECAUSE he is strong. He is strong due to elements outside of him.
>>564215769He's also the only shell that can consistently survive getting surprise knifed from around a corner without already having a WSTR out, by just instantly thrusting away. Or getting caught out in general. Even Vandal has to turn, sprint, and slide to reposition quickly, which means she's way worse at reacting to getting ganked than Destroyer. I feel like him having a no-requirements instant massive reposition just means he's the best at most combat situations, hands down. Thief has 'all the other shit' on lock, as well as having the best purely vertical mobility until you get purple/gold cores on Vandal.I guess in a way I could call Destroyer the most tanky/defensive shell because he's the only one who can react to taking surprise damage fast enough to survive it. Even assassin ult takes a bit and you'll be downed before you're obscured if they started shooting first.
>>564212156>Is solo more tolerable
>>564217357I feel like thats exactly how it should be though. Maybe not every shell needs to be an absolute combat monster. Even Triage has his uses and he has relatively bad combat but can be threatening in his own way. Triage has the lowest melee stat in the game too I think. So they definitely don't design all shells to be absolute combat power houses. Especially when you consider that thief has a literal drone meant to be used for scouting and fucking with people.
what should i be spending my cyberacme commendations on?
>>564218406I mean that's kind of the problem though, the other situations that aren't pvp combat are just not relevant. It's like playing Diablo or some comparable garbage and 'this character can hold more loot' as some sort of comparable function of power to 'this character kills everything faster'. The baseline is first killing something, everything else comes after that. With Marathon they have structured it as a 'must PVP' game, so 'best at the thing you must do' is the most important. I don't dislike how Destroyer is at all, I think the only real character feeling underpowered complaint I have is Vandal at this point, because double jump is fucking amazing - but sometimes it's completely fucking useless, and she doesn't have anything else.
>>56421075815k rapes todayIt saddens me that as the numbers dwindle, so do the rape victimsBut that is the price to pay for the great gapening that Bungie has wrought
>*dies*
We actually might not even breach 20k
Got super lucky with my MIDA contract that sent me to drone wing, was kind of sweating cause I had to murk two guys in Orientation in the first 5 minutes who were probably going to go for destroyed wing. Thankfully someone breached pinwheel at 18m and once I got in I just waited until they were in the other wing before starting it.
>>564214250No I suck ass and I'm at 43 with 70 in the bank and vault each at half your play time
>>564221539>10k is respectable number for extraction shooter
>>564219204i've been getting the reputation packs.
Bungie status?
>>564222847raped and gaped
>>564219204Rep packs even if they are one-time. Weapons are a good deal if something you like comes up. Salvage boxes or keys templates otherwise.
>>564219204Rep first especially if you're behind a bit. It's only 1500 rep total but that's still a level and a half above like level 15 faction rep. That adds up you know.
tomorrow is a holiday in brazil so we'll probably see a 50k peak again
>>564222847>John Bungie: Why the fuck did we think Extraction was gonna be the next big thing?>Paul Bungie (no relation): Cause we're retards, John BungieAnd then everyone in the office quit their jobs and killed themselves
that feel when putting bungo to death with my gargantuan gorilla girth
Is Marathon the least profitable AAA game since Concord?
>>564224114How much did Tencent invest in Highguard?
Give it to me for real marathoneersAre we dying?
everyone is done now that the mid season update was a nothingburger
>>564224196I don't think it's been revealed specifically, but Highguard's budget overall was over ~$200M.
I think they should bump up the match timer by 10 minutes across the board
I think they should announce end of service this week
Wish I had connections in the industry so I could figure out why people were convinced Extraction was gonna be the next BRCause Battle Royal was successful because it was simple and accessible and Extraction is neither of those thingsI suppose execs might've just been looking for a next big thing and randomly latched onto Extraction but that doesn't explain why so many developers and influencers believed in it
>>564224703Dire Marsh (Night) will turn everything around
>>564224709Many believed in Austrian Economics back in the dayThe thing is... nobody knows
Don't you guys get just a bit embarrassed when you say "it won't even break X today!" and then 30 minutes later it's already past your declared daily peak? Even accounting for the downward trend it's pretty embarrassing.
>>564225031>WE GOT TO 16,001 CHUD YOU LOST
Arena Breakout: Infinite won, bigly
>>564224476genuinely how? It was funded by chinks so it doesn't seem like money laundering
>>564225954I don't even understand how Marathon cost $300M+ and took 6 years to make.
>>564225031It hasn’t breached 20k though and it won’t
>>564225031no?I'm anonymous retard
>>564224197the only map we're getting is nighttime dire marsh so yes
Chuddies...it's almost catching up to L4D2...it's over for us. Bungie won and cooked and we need to study the comeback.
The end is coming. It is inevitable and you cannot stop it. I've witnessed the majesty of Escharum and he has shown me what it is to RAPE. Bungie is weak and they will continue to fall. Until Sony awakens from their slumber and devours them whole! There will be no escape from the layoffs that Sony will rape upon Bungie. Bungie's reckoning is finally at hand.
>>564224197>Most expensive extraction shooter of all time>Losing players every day>Nobody is spending money on itYeah
Don't shoot me if I'm looting the supply drop geez!
>>564212156solo's the better mode but it also has exponentially longer queues because bungie are deranged and chose to warp the whole game around trios
>>564225031Lol, lmao even. How raped can you be?
>>564227362>nobody is spending money on itI've seen the battle pass and deluxe edition skins fairly often, but not one single cash shop skin. Did these retards really think recolors were going to sell?
>>564226038The cost is understandable, Bungie is based in a neighboring suburb of Seattle. It naturally costs a lot to pay your employees an above average salary so they can comfortably live near a metropolis that's consistently in demand. And they're still being paid regardless of how much progress they've made during production or not, so it adds up over time. And they also had to pay external support studios for their help, and Marathon had at least one credited for working on the game.Also consider how much they've spent on marketing, from promoting streamers to play the game, to sending some of them physical merch, to making tons of fancy CG trailers, that had to contribute to its budget somewhat. It's silly considering how something like Halo 3 ODST or even Reach had more to show for itself compared to Marathon, but that's just how it is.
>>564226038it makes sense with all the art and writing and music and cinematic and on and on with PNW salaries
>>564227818>it's silly considering..those were full games, anon. live service games get chopped up before release and have their content spread across 1-2 years post-release.
>>564203460Youre pulling the trigger on these things earlier and earlier. >>564204749There's different kinds of "hard". This is fundamentally PVP, and team PVP, because fuck the solos.. not everyone goes for that. >>564205810I have ESP and can verify, there's a lot of fucks with that shit. Quite a few of them only use it to avoid PVP hilariously enough.
>>564207637Imagine a weight limit extract, where you can't take your full maximum bagged out kit, but have to leave shit behind.>>564208113It's post gender, you bigot.>>564212156>Is solo more tolerable or equally as trash>LOL. This game isn't for you, you weakling. But to be specific, it's a different kind of trash.
>already on saleSaars I dont feel so good....
>>564214828...and what kind of map is cryo archive? You fucking idiot.
>>564228054I think Halo Reach at least had some paid map packs and even more marketing. But still, it just makes live service games like Marathon that much worse because what little content there is just ends up being horrifically stretched out over the course of a year.
>>564224114Marathon is AAAA, not AAA. >>564224197They focused on in in the trailers for a reason.
>>564224476>I don't think it's been revealed specifically, but Highguard's budget overall was over ~$200M.Figure is disputed, and that one would include marketing. I think dev is closer to 100m. >>564224709It's more because nobody else had a better live service idea.
>>564226038Consider that they spent several million on higher quality hair for black people. Got that shit in google schollar. Ended up not even using it. All their budget priorities are completly nuts. Loads on making sure the maps weren't offensive to trannies. Shortchanged actually building fucking maps.
>>564229203>Loads on making sure the maps weren't offensive to tranniesis this a new spin for the 'removing plagiarized decals' thing?
>>564229527It's because they added the funko pops and smiley cute shit to everything since the alpha.
>>564227730> Did these retards really think recolors were going to sell?No. It's industry standard actually to have bad/plain skins on launch. The whales will buy regardless and the normies will feel like they're getting a better deal when better skins come out later in S2/S3/etc. The issue is that this game is dying FAST and Bungie needs dat microtransaction money now not later.
>>564229527No. That's their "sensitivity reader" type positions. They have a Inclusion, Diversity, and Equity Director, with their own departnment, AND a Diversity, Inclusion, and Learning Lead.27 thousand fuckers worked on this game, and the number of completely unproductive fucks is obvious because of the lack of content.
>>564229930Erm achually 27 thousand people didn't work on the game, because that would put Marathon into the 5-digit employee count. Its only 4 digit with 2.7k people credited according to MobyGames, which is still pretty bad.
>>564230536The waste of money needs to be studied
>>564230536Bungie used to be like 7 guysWild
>>564229930>They have a Inclusion, Diversity, and Equity Director, with their own departnment, AND a Diversity, Inclusion, and Learning Lead.Wait, waht do these people actually do? how does that make companies money
Are you guys ready for the WSTR genocide tomorrow?
>>564230978yeah thank god, maybe you can actually push people now. they need to get rid of bubble shields too
>>564230536>>564230929credits and game development in general are fuckin wack nowadays. There's reportedly like 300 full time employees on Marathon, so that's like 2400 external names, probably the vast majority of them were just temp tasked based work, or however the fuck many names for the brand work Kurppa Hosk did.
>>564231142I wonder how the close range meta will shift
>>564205302flying usec that actually do something and are not loot pinatas. would 1 make it so snipers can’t just camp their nest and 2 would cause them to shoot to kill them giving away their position. it would be a start at least
What's the deal with the patrolling UESC ships you'll see sometimes on Perimeter? They can be pinged but it's not like they do anything. Does it just indicate an area has high UESC presence?
>>564232054Like the drones?
>sub 20k[boisterous laughter]
>>564230978I just got a wooster from a random uesc recruit, that's what they need to nerf
>Couldn't hit 20k
>>564232357No the big dropships
>>564232734Do they drop troops off?
no 20k?
>>564232774I've never seen the ones roaming do it no, usually you see them hot drop in.
>under 20k
I thought it would at least hold this week and then next week start the sub 20k. Damn it is dropping hard.
>>564232885Hmm well i can't really think of anything then
>>564233034Maybe I'll do a freekit run and shoot at one and see what happens
My fellow Blasthavers... Our game...
doomed from the start
>>564232969Its because the casual playerbase has mostly left, and it's not quite like Hunt Showdown either where weapons are cheaper or you can hire characters that have selected loadouts. The pace of Marathon is a lot faster too so if you can't keep up, then you're basically fodder for higher skilled players.
>>564233147I literally called this shit out the first week of release and got called a trollExtremely short ttk + small maps + retarded spawn points It was only a matter of time until the casuals got tired of being fodder for the poopsockers
Casuals are extinct...the sweats are left with no food, no more casuals are being born.The sweats turn to cannibalism on every map for the last remaining rapes.
>>564233286I'm shocked Ziegler hasn't made some quirk chungus post about spawns yet it's really egregious and it's half the reason why the game is so hyper aggressive.
>80% of the players quitsony's gonna freak
>doing a naked knife run to try and do the kill 25 enemies with a knife codex challenge>sneak up on someone doing a key room>they're completely unaware I'm behind them>slash them 3 times with my knife>game doesn't register a single one of my hits>no desync or ping issues showing in the top right>game just straight up decided not to count my hits>enemy player just turns around shoots me as I go to slash 3 times againI probably have an unusually high amount of play hours compared to the average player but I've died too many times to bullshit like this now for it to be acceptable. This is probably the 20th time I've lost a run because the game randomly decided to just not count my hit for literally no reasonIf I die cause I fuck up I can accept it. If I get unlucky from bumping into someone with better gear or someone exfil camping it is what it is. Dying because the game just decided to not work properly is just flat out bullshit and actually needs to be fixed
I got like 8 levels solo in the last 48 hours I think I might actually make it to 100 before reset. Also where the fuck do the binguses and plushies spawn I've NEVER seen them ever in 150 hours.
>*incoherent whooping niggermonkey noises*
>>564233979bingus spawns on top of overflow and sometimes beneath the hauler. sneaky cat.
we've been had
>>564233939Yes knife hit reg is fucked now and I'm convinced it's whatever they did to reduce the lunge range against players when using the knife. They need to revert the lunge shit but keep the damage nerf.
>>564234086is it time?
Sony will save Marathon
>>564234709put the co-op in the bag bungle
>>564228559the gmg price isnt even right
#1 on steamdb hold your heads high, Marathoneers
Ummmmm. Losing 80% of your playerbase in a month and a half is actually a good thing, chud
>>564235616Marathon is literally number 1 on Steam DB so not sure what you're attempting to imply
I'll never get to play Marathon cause it released for 40 bucks and then died in 2 months :/
>last sekiguchi contract>figure fuck it, will bring in a real kit, including my gold V99 that I don't really like>first team met is walling>player location is also completely fucked, get sniped out of solid walls 3 different times in the fight by one assassin that I'm apparently not allowed to see the real location ofIt's kinda hard to even try at this game a lot of the fuckin time between cheats and it just being broken
Are there speedhackers at all? Sometimes I get downed from super far away and go for self rez but they fuckig clear 120+m in like 10 seconds
>>564234090I wouldn't be surprised, but I've been having hitreg problems with other shit too. Basically anything semi auto just has a small chance to not count as a hit sometimes, which again gets me killed more than it really should. It's especially bad with volt weapons like the lookout and punch though
i play this to vibe with people :)
>>564215246Destroyer with "on overheat" mods.
We’re actually under 20k ahead of the timeline10k in 3 weeks
I hate women, I'm an incel and I'm a virgin. I also hate Marathon, I wish I could kill as easily as these shells kill. BANG, DEAD! 25 year old, never a date, nothing.
>>564237183Alisa bro, all you need is a gun and just sit there listen to footsteps
>>564212156>Is solo more tolerableAs long as you're ok with rapegkm666 and tyrone420 camping exfils
>bungie spent untold amounts of marketing money and couldn't convince FPS guys to try a new game for 40 bucksAnd so does the death toll of Bungo sound. 19k today and dropping, no player spikes on weekends or updates. I didn't play the game besides checking my barters today because I don't feel like I can get quality matches anymore. Bungie signed their own death warrants by not having SBMM in from the start. Now they'll never catch up and the fantastic game they built will die a slow and painful to watch death. You could have been something, Marathon... If only you were anything other than what you are.
>get chased across three different exfils by full team of purples on perimeter when Im just trying to do an exfil contractArachne has got to go, xp from killing opponents has got to go, there needs to be a bounty system that makes heavy PKers more vulnerable because this shit is not fun, it's not sustainable.
>>564237897Bungie players shit their pants when SBMM is active, even right now streamers are whining that they have to play against full kitted players every match in Cryo and ranked
>>564237932>Arachne has got to go, xp from killing opponents has got to goI would still only go for exfil kills. I don't care about looting boxes or anything.
They should put some exfils in buildings honestly I mean Cryo is all interior and it still works it's just fucking data. I think it'd genuinely solve some of the exfil camping scenarios>hear exfil pop>don't see the beam >have to now guess at which one it is
>>564236928damn this game looks fucking boring lol no wonder everyone is quitting
>>564238051Yeah but what Im saying is if you amass more kills you should have a bounty or warning that someone like you is in the match
>>564238035You can't fix it now. Everyone has got it in their heads that they're going to get crushed by sweats if they play Marathon, myself included. I don't even want to try. They buried this game because they were so afraid of putting people in fair and balanced lobbies. Insanity.
>>564238294>Looks boringYou just don't understand what's happening. A smoke ability was deployed, and the enemy player focused on it. Because this smoke ability is typically used at close range. The green guy was tricked, he looked at the smoke, got his armor damaged and BAR'd(Brutally Anal Raped).
>Bungie had pitched Marathon as a billion dollar franchise, a game that will generate massive reoccuring revenue for years after launch. Time stamp : 6:08KEKhttps://youtu.be/gslJINunUZI?si=gTvzL6nPpOT3HLQ8
>>564238428>you should have a bounty or warning that someone like you is in the matchOk, what if people think it's you? And everyone attacks you, without asking questions.
>>564238608Yeah maybe if it released back in 2022
insufferable
>>564238636There could be an icon on the ping.>>564238730The only people going against lvl 200s are other lvl 200s lol. It's the complete inverse, the tryhard faggots are buttmad they always have to face their own bullshit and dont have easy prey anymore.
>>564238730I would be a bit terrified to run into a level 200 yeah, not least of which is because they'd have to be deeply disturbed to already be at that level
>spawn in solo>sit in corner of map for 20 minutes>leave before final exful goes upI love key runsI love opening key rooms
>>564238498yes i watched the video too but the game is so slow and stale that the only way to have fun is to shoot people in the back
>>564238498>It was le ebin outplay you seeI wish I could be so delusional that I could trick myself like this purely so I could stroke my own ego. The guy just panicked and tried to exfil, retard. Every clip you post you're always trying to boast and brag about how smart or epic you are and how shit the players you kill are when it's literally just you killing someone that isn't even looking at you.Are you the same loser that keeps posting the JJK stuff, or is that some other autist?>>564239005I've done so many key rooms now and I never get anything worthwhile out of them. Starting to think I should just not bother with templates anymore desu
>>564239080I have three gold cryo keys but only blues and one purple for the normal maps. I dont think Ill ever get to use that cryo key anyways
>>564239080You're talking to a guy who calls any type of skill based matchmaking bad because he will have to match up against people of his skill level and admits to using cheats so he can instead match up with shitters.
I just want to rat but I'm forced to kill because everything makes noise I don't even really enjoy killing people but I have to.
>>564238730I hate SBMM fags since MW2019(when SBMM became obvious and strict).I will always reverse boost, get into "normal, employed lobbies" and stomp them. I've been doing it for 7 years. https://www.unknowncheats.me/forum/call-of-duty-black-ops-6-a/674235-simple-afk-reverse-boosting-bot.htmlhttps://51sector.com/products/cronus-reverse-boost-script-lower-sbmmhttps://nolagvpn.com/vpn/warzone-vpn-alternatives/reverse-boosting-warzone-alternative-vpnhttps://www.siliconera.com/how-to-reverse-boost-in-modern-warfare-3/
Why would you admit you do that, that's genuinely sad. You are a very sad man.
>>564239276>I just want to ratZoomers and shitters ITT(the one's who post charts) don't know what rat means. They think it's killing friendly players.
>>564238608This guy sounds like he just learned to speak
>>564204749>Slop Souls>Slop Fighter>SlopathonYou don't enjoy hard games, you just enjoy bad ones.
>>564239416Yeah I just like the tension of not being discovered and having to circumnavigate the map while scrounging honestly I wish the maps were like 30% bigger or at least have far more verticality. I wish I could do Cryo solo now that would be a fucking amazing map to rat in but Bungie hates solos.
I'm happy to do it, I love reverse boosting and exfil killing. I don't want to be the best, as long as I'm much better than casuals, I will always force myself into their lobbies.

You wanna play a video game after work, with a PvP element?I'm gonna join your protected lobby, and fuck you in the ass.
>>564239718and then you'd post about how you "did nothing"

>>564239864>Sony takeover when?it's happening come May 13th
>>564240047Top 5 NPD is GTAVI, new Modern Warfare(re-reboot), Insomniac Wolverine, Resident evil and a sports game
>>564240234yeah, and bungie genuinely thought they could break into that because they made Destiny (which they also completely tanked in record time btw), and halo (lol)
Holding my woosters, I predict they will still steamroll 90% of people
I'm extremely happy, when other players get nervous, or jumpscared.I am also happy to simply kill someone who didn't even understand what the fuck happened.I love camping, making the fight unfair. It irritates people, and when people get upset, I feel so good.
Noooo they're gaping me and it hurrrrttss AAAHHHGive SBMM aaaaahhhh OOOHHH
>>564239214I've got 2 yellows and 4 purple cryo keys. I want to get the subroutines and do compiler but I'm still trying to put a squad together that's actually in my region. No one really wants to go near Cryo at the moment cause of the aids meta so it's looking grim but you may as well use em since they're gonna be tossed at the end of the season anyway>>564239250It's just a really lame look. It's not even that I mind what he's doing in the clips since like it's solos and anything goes, but it's just weird to brag about shooting someone in the back of the head while invisible and go>"Heh. What a fool that guy was. A calculated play what can I say, I'm clearly superior"It's like those rich old fucks that fly to africa so they can shoot elephants and take pictures of themselves with the corpse on facebook. It's not something to really boast about, it's just kind of gay and lame to make a big deal about it.
Ran into a chinese squad on dire marsh with gold shields and snipers, never going back to that shitty map.

>>564242642I won't, because level 200 doesn't matter in solo. 1 bully, 1 grenade, smoke, 10 minute random camp spot.
>>564242925I've probably seen you and reverse ju'jitsu'd you

>>564207781>bungie cucks another soul into routine vault sweeping just to continue to play the gameI'm sorry, Brother. Just remember to sell anything you can immediately replace in the shop for non rape dollars. Build three kits and play each one until you lose it. This will give you more breathing room.
Finally, all Arachne skins unlocked...
>>564245429>all Arachne skins unlockedCongrats, I was gonna do it too, but I've never played Thief and Vandal. I think that men, who play those shells, don't respect themselves, they look like cumdumpsters
>still no solo cryo>still no announcement regarding solo cryothese cunts are retarded
Oh so UESC is directly piloting the bots or at least monitoring their actions in the field
>>564246437They're still gathering data on duos. A small indie studio like Bungie needs time to study the inner machinactions of 2 players in a team instead of 3 players. After that MAYBE you crybaby chuds will get solo content.
>marathon will die a slow and boring death while bungie limp their way through updates that barely add or change anything>chartposters are gonna wina better studio could’ve nailed this.
>>564247794Don't overdeliver etc. It's Bungie. They thought they could sell a platter of shit and people would buy it because it had their name on it but to most gaymers their name is synonymous with anti-consumer bullshit and Destiny players don't want the game to succeed either because it took away devs from their game. Old Halo players know that old Bungie is dead so their brand name is meaningless. tldr Bungie is unc

hows the performance on a lower spec pc?
Started playing today and the game has been a lot more chill than le ebbin super hardcore rapefest that you all talk about here so far?I mean, I'm still on beginner perimeter and have seen a grand total of two other people (one already downed by USEC), so maybe that's it.
>>564248749beginner perimeter is specifically matchmade with only new people. The rapists aren't able to get in. Unfortunately you will be kicked out of this safe, welcoming space eventually, and you will encounter space rapists. It's not the end of the world though, sometimes you'll get bad streaks but even at level 90 something I still only get turbo rolled like 1 in 4 games, and if I'm lucky it just happens early and I move right along.
>>564248749It'll get worse, but you'll just have to handle most of the game as a give and take. You'll lose shit and some missions can be pretty unforgiving, but each run gives you rep and although parts of the story and some decent rewards are behind the priority contracts, you can still level up your factions just fine with secondaries and just by playing. At first, focus on looting everything not nailed down and book it for the earliest exfil possible.
>>564239718If you weren't a fucking moron, you'd be able to run cheats anyways. You don't exactly need DMA level shit to be completely stealth. Just a perfect visualizer for your own sounds and the sounds of others already gives you a massive advantage. You shouldn't lose to anyone but snipers and camped stacked exfils..
>>564248387Complete fucking ass. CPU bound BTW. Don't sweat the video card.
>>564248749You're protected for the refund window anon.
Okay this MIDA quest is actually fucking impossible solo full fucking run of the map then you need to do a full fucking run of pinwheel including clearing command wing legitimately what were they thinking
>>564248749>Started playing todayPlay some more, R*se will be waiting for you all game long to call in the exfil
>>564249496They were not thinking of solos at all for any of the priority quests.
>>564248749beginner lobbies until level 12
>>564249496You will be content for PVP players and you will leave a positive review
Once a game gets a bad reputation as a sweatfest its impossible to make it go away. Riot spent a lot making Arcane to make people play League and they said it failed. People know league as a toxic game thats hard as fuck. Even the players told any new Arcane fans to just not bother with the game. That's Riot, League and Arcane. Magnitudes of success above Bungie and Marathon.By not launching with solo, with more "friendly" options, SBMM, and more complexity to the PVE on a post Arc market. Bungie sent out Marathon to die and now the death spiral and reputation are what marathon means to most.I know why I gave these an infinite amount of 2nd chances, I was hyped ever since the 1st reveal trailer to see more Marathon and coped extraction shooters were gonna be my thing.
>>564250904Bungie could fix it. If “reputation as sweatfest” resonated poorly at all then CS wouldn’t be topping Valve’s charts for the past million years. People just want good games to play. Marathon doesn’t hit right.
Heh RiseGKM is KlemTcen on reddit lol
>>564248749Enjoy beginner Perimeter while you can, because after you’re done you will experience Space Rape Simulator 2026 without warning. Just try to level up the CyberAcme and NuCaloric quests first, because the first one increases your small storage space and the second sells green and blue shields as upgrades.
All my keys are for fucking cryo this is aids lmao I've done one key room in 100+ hours what were they thinking

>>564252390And risk some fag rolling up on me? Nah.
>>564252337>open key room>global BING BING WAHOO begins playing>9 assassins all begin crouch walking to youHIGH RISK HIGH REWARD
>>564252390
High rapeHigh reward
>>564252530I'm honestly adamant that they shouldn't make so many map wide announcements of things happening. Key rooms should play the jingle, but it also should be solely cooped to it's environs, much like safes or the UESC strongboxes. Same goes for engaging Wardens. It's fine that a team that's nearby acknowledge something is happening from gunfire or a jingle nearby, but converging the entire fucking map to your position on doing any of these also kills any incentive to spend anything outside your team gameplay.
The game design to have preys and predators.The preys are the idiots who do contracts, kill bots, open rooms, lockboxes, etc.The predators are the rapists who just roam the map and look for preys to kill and steal their shit.This model is obviously unsustainable.Why did Ziggler think this could ever work?
>>564253604Bungie for some reason really really really wants to have streamers like them. At this point I am convinced that the lead devs are friends with some twitch streamers or some shit otherwise their decisions are baffling.
>>564248749>(one already downed by USEC)i wish i could stay on beginner perimeter just to be a fly on the wall.
>>564253604honestly you're fucking spot on it's actually retarded how bad it is. they like to talk about how "it's fun to lose" but the only ones losing are the raped. the rapists are winning nonstop.
Perimeter is basically the only map I do for contracts unless one forces me to go to Dmarsh
>>564243217Having to 3 tap or melee means it's not going to win on equal footing against a blue shield using drrrvish. Drrrvish can 3 or 4 tap easily with better damage curve (as it should be)
>>564253604Sounds like skill issue
>i use the wstr>never get a double tap kill>i dont use the wstr>i get double tapped from every angle at every distanceepic
>>564253604>The preys are the idiots who do contracts, kill bots, open rooms, lockboxes, etc.The prey also tends to own guns, so there's always a risk involved for everyone. Even in the best of scenarios, you'll have to either nade an exfil, spray into it and still get enough time to down the opponent in the 10 second window. In the worst case, you'll run into a smoke cloud/bubble and get WSTR in the face. Exfil camping only works to the point where people aren't expecting it.
Wooster goes offline (not really) in siete horas
>>564243217I'm pretty sure the Superior sucker punch will also be enough to make quick melee down someone who gets two tapped by a WSTR. I'm pretty sure it'll be used much more religiously for the combo against someone above green shields.
>>564213339I take keys into fill and if my teammates aren't mouth breathers or tiny timmies who are little attention seeking faggots that I have to mute, I just say "take whatever and fill your bags, but we absolutely cannot loiter".

>>564257173That's already a thing
What the fuck happened?
>>564257423Memes aside: There is nothing to do. I can run Outpost for an infinite amount of times. Sometimes I can pivot to Dire Marsh for events but that map is AIDS. There's never a reason to go to Perimeter. Filling in Cryo is LMAO. Bungie spent all of this time and only has 4 maps to show and each map is tiny with barely any cool shit to do or fight.
>>564257017Yep, very controllable and you handle it a bit fasterI should have some other webm of it>>564257423Your dad's condom broke
>>564251152CS is casual as hell, it usurped Quake because it was easier in every regard.
>counter strike>not casualKek
I did Cryo fills a few times last weekend and it's actually a really cool map and I like the room over room design and all the little nooks you can get into but the pvp cadence is genuinely insane especially if you get unlucky with tags and basically become a loot pinata for the first team to roll into panopticon and rotate.
>>564257634Yeah. I've had it for a while and it honestly feels like a Stryder with a bit more range and higher RoF, it's great.
am I the only one having a good time playing this? mostly solo queueall the posts I see here (and on plebbit) are ragebait or playerCount low effort, weird.This game has a good gun system and a good raid feels very satisfying. see you on outpost.
>>564259768You glow desu
>>564253604it can work, there are games out there with a balance of carebear playerbase and pvp-minded playerbasesome I can think of: eve online, arc raiders, diablo2 hardcore, etc.those games have easy mechanics that keep you mostly safe if you don't want to pvp though. marathon is lacking a pve map (or very low population pvp map, maybe 2 teams perimeter) that only drops grey and green items
>>564260484Perimeter is supposed to be the carebear map but at this point it's normal for people to run that map with god tier loot just to farm timmies. >or very low population pvp map, maybe 2 teams perimeterFor some reason this was a complaint in the alphas and they upped it by a lot. I think maybe it made sense when the maps were new and people were still dying to bots but at this point it's just hilarious how many enemies there are, especially on Dire Marsh. Double hilarious if you're solo as I'm pretty sure there's something like 10 other players.
>>564261368Malaysian tranny lol
>>564261368I played dire marsh solo queue as vandal roaming around for 40+ hours I've never seen more than 7 other players (so 8 total)
>>564261426we don't sign our posts on this site sister
>>564262070We can tell how brown you are from your constant use of the word timmies lol
>>564257863>>564257976You confuse "casual" with "easy to pick up", and "hardcore" with "hard to pick up".A good game is easy to pick up, but hard to master, of which CS does both. Marathon is hard to pick up but not that hard to master, so it's the inverse in that regard.
>>564260484EVE is an mmo, it has much more freedom. Plus it has high sec carebear zones where you can't get raped.Arc Raiders is a shitshow, it doesn't know what it wants to be. Plus it's dying.Diablo 2 is a pve game.

>>564257423the trios finished the end-game content and moved on while the solos got fucked over
>>564266693Solos are crouched in a corner playing assassin watching anime on their second monitor they're fine.
>>564266562You should have known he was up from the flechette homing in, and then the hitmarkers. Horrible game sense, carried by gear disparity and the free kitter being a shitter
Sooooo what was the reason duos was removed again?>They're tuning it>They're looking at dataWhat does that even mean? They didn't remove solos and that shit is the exact same thing.
>>564267096Player pool dilution. The queues are getting too long.
>>564267169Well my friends quit when the queue got removed so I don't think that worked out for Bungie>dude just get a fill lollmao fuck off
>>564267096They're trying to funnel duos and solos to trios, but instead ended up funneling them to other games
these idiots started running experimental queues when they had 50k players, so they could improve the game and add stuff for when they have <5k players
>>564267405Literally everyone I know, all of my friends, coworkers, family, etc are talking about playing Marathon in season 2. It's gonna be huge. Just watch and see chud.
>>564268209ik you're shitting but I genuinely hope for Marathon to get better. On the other hand, seeing Bungie fall is also satisfying. Win-win I guess
>>564267096It's their way of saying>we want to make this an official queue but we don't really have the time to figure out how to make a matchmaking queue for it yet so we're putting it on standby while we work on other shitI loved duos but they can't really do the simple thing of just adding another 3 seperate queues since it already takes 10+ mins to get a game sometimes cause numbers are down. So I think right now they're basically tossing up whether they make duos queue locked to one map per week or if they just try to meld it into the other queues.With how things have been going, I think they'll need to start blending queues together, but that's a whole can of worms for balancing purposes. You can't really force solos into trio queues, and duos can already queue in trio queue technically. They could blend duos and solos together but again that's a whole can of potential balancing nightmare fuckery. I think as well they're just looking at the data for matches to determine if the number of players/exfil rate/player engagement is worth the headache and future growing pains of having to make future maps around duos specifically. We know going forward they're 100% going to have to actually think about solos as a legit way to play the game (unless they still want to be psychopaths and stick to their "trios or nothing" mindset), so if they decide to make a queue for duos they'll have to think about how duos play on maps going forward.
>>564249061i dont even own the game nigga
>>564246437The truth is that we probaly wont get any more queues, the playerbase is too diluted as is, loading times too long.
>>564248749Refund while you can, its all downhill from here on.
>>564268562>seeing Bungie fall is also satisfyingSeeing sony get raped is also satisfying.Serves them right for going full retard on live service garbage "forever games".
>no solo cryook, bye
>>564248749>and have seen a grand total of two other people (one already downed by USEC)Holy kek

this feels like a real eerie calm, they've been very quiet since the update. I'm hoping for something retardedly drastic from them as a hail mary soon
>>564271324>over 13 hours a day since launchImagine the smell
They're preparing the data and slides that will go into the financial report to be reviewed by the executive management team and the board. I hope it feels like they're walking to the gallows

>/mg/ is dead and raped>sub 1k playersIt's over
>>564273694think they've already blown their load, adding things to the season pass was season 2 content moved forward and the hail mary was the free kit mode.
>>564274648Yep 100%, Sony isn't waiting around for more "We're listening and digesting"
>>564274648>adding things to the season pass was season 2 content moved forwardNo way, were they really gonna drip feed the black recolors one at a time?
>>564275601Have you at all considered the documented history of Bungie doing this to in Destiny over the past decade? Surely you're not one of those reddit retards that has a mind-gap between Halo 3 and Marathon releasing where you think Bungie is operating like they were 20 years ago?
>>564256360>Unique vault smg can now face down the most common shotgun in the gameYeah sounds fine >>564252530And then you enter a struggle session over a couple pieces of blue salvage and a single good gun. Blue tier key rooms are a borderline waste of time
>>564275793I'm very well aware of their history, but drip feeding such mid skins through their battlepasses for over a year would've been a new low. The D2 battlepass stuff has always been at least decent.
>874 playersdamn the game died that fast?! impressive
>>564276531>The D2 battlepass stuff has always been at least decentIt's not a meme that bungie puts the best armor sets in eververse for $20 per class. The battle pass set (singular) requires completion of the entire thing, plus the additional bonus levels (double the time investment) just for the additional helm transmog. It was decent back in witch queen when they still had weekly challenges that allowed you to blast through the battlepass but with the portal and the new challenge system it's far more grindy than it's ever been. Unironically, Marathon has substantially more cosmetic content available in its battlepass and that's because it has to compete directly with Arc Raiders which took their system from Helldivers
>>564277313Arc raiders ones are great, nothing paid in the “battle pass” and they’re just an additional part of the game you paid for, I think there’s like 4 of them now all with decent cosmetics and generous feeling premium currency handouts.Marathon is greedy as fuck and I really enjoy how every single time I load up the game now, it prompts me to purchase the battle pass because I have everything unlocked
>>564277801out of touch ultraboomer here. Do normal gamers actually buy battle passes and shit on a regular basis?? obviously someone does as these live service games keep going on. but who the fuck does it?t. 0 bucks spent on cosmetics etc
>>564278063I don't think so tbdesu and that's why the advertising for them is so prominent. Even in cod/BF you get constantly pushed to purchase the premium battle pass. I think Fortnight and even Overwatch probably do paid battle passes the best (from my understanding) because they provide enough premium currency in the free path to fully purchase the paid version. So you can either purchase it once and use the currency unlocked to get the next one ad infinitum, or if you play it enough you can finish the pass, use the currency to get all the premium cosmetics, then do the same for the next. That being said Helldivers and Arc Raiders have the best model where the pass is free and you unlock the contents over time, and you can swap between previous ones so no fomo
>>564278063The economy is so bad that brown people are taking payment plans out for domino's pizza
>>564278063They do, and it’s often not the people you might imagine. For example I have a group of friends I play Warzone with, and the guy that plays the least, probably the worst player out of us is the most inclined to buy some new silly ass skin for a laugh, like a weed leaf with a bong gun for his once a month session. Fortnite, at least in the early days not sure about now, had a respectable system where you earned all the premium currency back + extra, so you could in theory have completed every battle pass in the history of the game, having hundreds of cosmetics, and only ever paid $10 once. Epic pulls a little psychological trick with the extra premium currency because you’ll end up with just enough to buy a store skin, and a player will feel like they got it for free but now they need to spend another $10 for the next pass.

>>564281262On one hand I get that you can’t overhaul the game in such a short span of time, but on the other hand the game was in development for years with hundreds of millions invested and 2700 people credited according to Mobygames. The fact that Bungie didn’t foresee this happening and planned a PvE only mode in case is still the dumbest thing they could have ever done, especially because the addition of classes like Assassin frankly makes it worse compared to something like Hunt Showdown.
>>564282201Do you play without audio or something? Assassin I not a problem at all, if he wasn’t in the game you’d still seen everyone else in solos hardcore ratting and jumping one another and you’d still die for the same reasons an assassin is able to rape you
>>564282201overhaul to what exactly? shooting robots would get boring really quickly (pve) and i doubt it would bring on a healthy playerbase. Then you'd get the tarkov style boohoos where tryhards would get mad that no noobs were in the game anymore to farm.there should not be solos only... solos should load in into normal matches, they tried solos only in hunt alpha and it was removed cause everyone was just camping and ratting.

I spend most of my time playing Triage so whenever I switch to Destroyer or Vandal I just outright forget to use the extra movement.
>>564274648>adding things to the season pass was season 2 content moved forwardCosmetics aren't content.
>>564286230It is for Bungie, get used to it.
>>564274648That was probably season 2, 3, and 4 season pass slop. They definitely only wanted one skin per pass.
So what are they odds that they move S3 "content" up to S2 in order to pad it?
>>564286373But their roadmap showed actual content for season 2, and none of that was moved forward. What are you trying to say?
>>564286397>They definitely only wanted one skin per pass.Well then it's good that they got humbled because that's not accepable.
So at this point its pretty clear the vast majority of the playerbase, whats left, have decided the game is a Trials of Osiris battle royale and not an extraction shooter. How do you think Zeigler is going to deal with this?
>>564286509>actual content>old map but with a flipped skyboxIf that's what qualifies as content to you no wonder Marathon has such a raped playerbase.
>>564286509>he thinks they planned out s3 already
>>564287983I never said that.
>>564287983They probably have the battle passes and store content planned out
>>564287758>>old map but with a flipped skyboxAccording to the roadmap, there is clearly more to it. I do wish it was a different map altogether, of course, but we'll see.
>>564288763>According to the roadmapThe roadmap you're referring to that was created by a reddit user? That roadmap?
What goes well with darkness?That's right. Rape.
>>564289026There's also pure pitch black skins too, so if the Cyberacme skins didn't exist the game would have immediately become pay2win
>>564283329>mouth breathers think F2P will save this thingPeople that got it full price can’t be bothered to play it, why would anyone who got it free stick with it? It’ll churn them too.
>>564288763>Darkness gameplay.Attaching flashlights or IRs into optics now? Well shit.
>>564288867No, the official Bungie one. I posted a piece of it.
>>564288763>can’t see anything during the day on Dire Marsh>bungie thinks “darkness gameplay” is a unique selling pointit’s over it’s so over it’s never been more over
>>564289330>>564288763dont forget there will be more boring UESC to fight
>>564289409I like the bots. They are a good start for PvE combat.
>>564289485>They are a good start for PvE combatYou say this like they're an indie dev without 20+ years of experience in creating enemy ai
>>564289696More like less than 10 years. Remember most of nuBungie for sure didn't work on any games until Destiny 1. And considering layoffs, probably a lot of them weren't part of Bungie until Destiny 2.Should expect way more out of the PvE for this game still. They're probably holding onto more interesting enemies for future updates that won't happen because of EoS.
>>564289696The UESC bots are fine, but that's mainly when you're a confined environment or somewhere mostly indoors like Cryo. You place them in a map like Perimeter or Dire Marsh though, especially somewhere where there's mostly flat and wide open terrain and it all goes to shit for their AI.
>>564289914But according to that one dev, they still have dozen of devs from the Halo days.
>>564290140There's still a few devs from the Halo days, but just by the way math works, even if every dev from Halo 1 was still around, they'd still be only a fraction of either the Destiny or Marathon teams due to the sheer bloat the company has undergone
So are WSTRs still creaming people?
>>564289174>People that got it full price can’t be bothered to play it, why would anyone who got it free stick with it? It’ll churn them too.People that played it for free couldn't bother to stick with it. Half of the players immediately dropped it in the server slam.

Finished the battle pass, hoping to hit level 100 before anything happens. I do like this game but it really is half baked from all the changes they've made over the years. I never played D2 so I don't have generational rape trauma, I think the game can be successful eventually.

the rape shit is so forced, is it just one anon that's weirdly obsessed with it? every extraction shooter has the same bullshit but somehow this game is "the rape game". It's just really cringe
>>564303713It comes from the destiny community which you wouldn't know because you're a reddit tourist

And now they're releasing a second PvE mode that I might reinstall for. Some people just want to turn their brains off and mindlessly shoot bots and listen to music for hours until it's time to go to bed to have to work the next day.
Studying rape and its origins is all we can do here realistically.
How the fuck are people repositioning so quickly in this fucking game, heard a guy looting, peeked it and he was suddenly not there and 20m to my right
>>564305789Sliding, vandaling, destroying, etc.

>>564305789Tbf 20M isn't very far in this game. Also destroyer, and Vandal are high movement shells, and thief has a grappling hook

>>564305282yeah man i get you. i still boot up l4d2 from time to time when i just wanna chill out and shoot some goobers.
Why does Marathon have fewer viewers on twitch than Destiny 1?
>>564305789Map knowledge and certain shells are very good at it. Map knowledge is huge though, knowing good escapes and rotations will save your ass. But Vandal's double jump, thief grapple, destroyer boost/thrust will all get you around quick.
>>564307348people would rather watch a 20 year old game than marathon

>>564283329>f2pUnless Bungle has a vault of shop skins that are actually interesting being held back there's little point since the current shop is undercooked and all the cool recolor skins being locked behind gameplay challenges mean the game really was designed to be a purchased product.The macro gameplay loop is also broken at a foundational level. If they made it f2p tomorrow, all the current problems that drove away the actual paying casual crowd are still there and will drive away the f2p crowd even faster. Smashing the f2p emergency button is a one time use, they would have to do it AFTER the game is fixed or else they would just waste their second and final opportunity to get what ever audience they can back.
>>564307779Which is actually pretty fucked. Yes the plagiarism shit was really bad and even worse timed but he's been pushing designers republic aesthetic for decades at this point, probably before that tranny was even born. He was not able to catch something that should have been caught and had to pay the consequences, but if you've seen any of his content (blogs, articles, tweets, etc.) in the past it's clear he's just a passionate designer that got fucked over. I don't feel bad for many people associated with Bungie, especially those in leadership positions, but I hope joe cross can land on his feet and make something again in the future

who even is the target audience for this shit? tarkov spergs or ultraboomers who are familiar with the franchise (as le reddit implies that most of gamers are 40 year old dads) why this game happened and why now? was it that marathon got some exposure couple of years ago from some youtubers and bungie decided maybe we can cash in???

>>564311464The rapee becomes the raper, it's truly beautiful to see
>>564310951Same
Over 100% of people will be the victim of a rape this year. Know the facts.
>>564310674I have a game theoryArc Raiders attracts an extremely wide audience because of the way the game molds itself based on player behavior and its familiar mechanics. They did good with that. The promise of polished gameplay and good decisions ala NO RESETS are also really appealing. It is comfy and there's no reason to leave it.Tarkov attracts the real hardcore niggers, and those that don't want to play video-gamey videogames. I've met a lot of soldiers and gun enthusiasts that love that game. Hunt Showdown is similar.Marathon attracts people that 1. like arcadey mechanics and somehow aren't playing Overwatch 2. like extraction shooters, but somehow aren't attached to the others 3. can put up with Bungie's bullshit 4. find the unique visual style appealing, and finally 5. don't mind being raped; a lot of this game's marketing was "PREPARE TO DIE OVER AND OVER LOLOLO". All these conditions must be met simultaneously
>>564311517Sale and new patch is going really well it seems, were going to easily hit 20k today.
I truly don't believe Marathon is a bad game. I think where the mismatch comes in is that players in this day and age generally don't like heavy struggle. They don't like feeling helpless even though they aren't. I believe that gamers in this era have a very "I want the power fantasy of being all mighty no matter what." This is even shown in RPGs where your character can basically do everything and is never ever locked out quests etc because of stat checks or choices. The brain type / mind type of gamers is just.. changed. I don't know if its good or bad but gamers today just don't like feeling dunked on even though its a method to grow from. Its very strange to me because I like being challenged by games.
The community really needs to be campaigning against the forced progression wipe and make Bungie change their minds about it. There is no way this game will survive a wipe, it will push old players away and the idea only makes it harder to jump into the game in the eyes of new players.
Is hurting hands one of the most garbage implants? Is finisher syphon even useful?
>>564312379Actually, people love hard games. Other extraction shooters are succeeding, you lose all your gear if you die in them too. Other competitive games are succeeding. Elden Ring was hard as fuck and you know how popular it is. Truth is, Marathon is just not appealing to the common gamer for literally every other reason but this.
>>564312379Bungie wanted to make Tarkov for the masses. The issue is that the masses don't want Tarkov, otherwise it would be significantly more popular. Having that much friction and hardship as a feature inherently limits the audience to a relatively small niche. *** ******* is so popular because it tried to remove most of that and make a much more approachable game for the average person, Bungie seemed to think that their name along would be a strong enough pull and I'm happy they're rightly getting shit on for it
>>564312379Like my man, everyone has guns! Shoot your opponent and if need be, shank em'. It seems like the vast majority just shart their pants and completely shit their gameplan.
You can smoke a joint or down several beers and half brain games like arc raiders after work and still win. Do that in marathon and you'll get smoked by sweats. Zero chance. What are most people gonna chose?
>>564312860>Elden Ring was hard as fuck>Baby's first souls gameLol
Marathon needs safe pockets that's why it's dying>why risk good items or salvage or keys or anything reallyNot even Tarkov is that raped
>>564313136normies that never would have considered tarkov loved the safe pocket, it became a meme for the redditors to talk about shoving shit into their ass pocket. A competent community manager that actually understood their audience would have helped understand this, but nope instead you get dmg
>>564312834>Siphon>Only have to use a patch kit while your shield regens on its ownI use more shield kits than I do patch kits so I can see the angle

>>564313508Are you sure? I've yet to see a single thing from andy posted here yet dmg is frequently talking about marathon
>>564313105>>564313103You guys need to realize that this game didn't sell. People are simply not interested enough to even try it. Proof: A peak of less than 150k when the game was literally free, and a peak of only 88k when the game released. You assume that people watched or played the game and somehow felt that it was too hard for them. No, actually, people either didn't look at the game at all, or they did and were uninterested by the premise, the gunplay or the style. They have no idea about the meta or the rapening. All they saw was ads about something with LGBT colors and extraction pooper mechanics, and decided that competitors in other genres were worth their energy better
>>564313470But you only get the syphon when you do the finisher execution right?
>>564313605dmg plays it, but isn't the CM.Andy regularly comments on new Marathon updates
