You've all got a case of Advanced Marathon Derangement Syndrome (AMDS).This game will succeed despite your best efforts to ruin it.
>>733277369Preach sister! Marathon™ is lightning in a bottle! I trust Bungie™ wholeheartedly, if there's one project nobody in the industry is worried will fail, it's Marathon™! It just has mainstream hit written all over it. There's no way Marathon™ will flop, I could play Marathon™ all day!
>>733277451/thread
>>733277369>despite your best efforts to ruin itBut I'm doing nothing.
>>733277638I'll do something
>>733277369I will do nothing and it will still fail, I expect it to have less than 5000 players per day 1 month after launch. It's exactly the same as call of duty warzone.
The Marathon vibe shift is crazy!A non-gamer warehouse worker at my workplace was like>“my daughters really excited about Marathon, i love seeing her excited about video games. i might buy Marathon for her”What’s going on?!
>>733277369>bungie's face when they realize they have to deliver marathon after seeing all these other games flop catastrophically
>>733277369>despite your best efforts to ruin itI'm just shitposting on an anime website, if that's all it takes for your product to fail then it was never good to begin with
>>733278946My 3 year old daughter (not biologically, I'm the man who stepped up) told me she didn't understand why people voted for Trump, but she understands very well how Marathon is going to be the success story of the decade after all the blasts she's been having with the beta. We're so proud of her.
>This game will succeed despite your best efforts to ruin it.I'm glad someone appreciates the high effort I've put into ruining Marathon. Like uhhhh when I....uhhh
>>733277369>gay cyberpunk+fortnight artstyle>extraction shooterit's already ruined, didn't have to do shit.it's gonna be a hit with turbo zoomers and just like destiny it will be a hallmark of shitty business practices and utterly wasted potential.

>>733277369you lost you retarded turdconcord 3go woke go broke
>>733277638You should.
Extraction shooters seem so fun but I've tried some and I just wish I had a friend to play it with, I know I'd love these kind of games then. I boot up Arc Raiders and I just don't even know why I'm playing it since it's so boring alone, I'll probably feel the same way towards Marathon... do any of you play these games alone? What keeps you playing? Nothing about the progression is interesting to me and there's no story to follow or interesting characters
>>733277638You doompost incessantly about it on 4troon
It being an extraction shooter sucks but it's carried pretty hard by the art style
>>733277369Is the extraction shooter market big enough for this ugly thing?
>>733284478Arc Raiders was generic slop and did pretty well
>>733284385But I was told complaining on 4chan accomplishes nothing and we should all stop because it's useless?
>>733277369>This game will succeed despite your best efforts to ruin it.please stop, I can only laugh so hard
>>733277369>the everyday shilling intensifiesWhy would anyone play this when Roblox already exists?
>>733277369>THE ENTIRE ART STYLE LOOKS LIKE THE TEXTURES DIDNT LOAD PROPERLYguys, is there ANYBODY even remotely interested in that artstyle?even 1 person?
>>733285178I think the artstyle is only good for shit like posters but will not make a video game work

>>733286682
>>733286834The term "alt-right" started out as a way to differentiate alternative right-wing thought from mainstream right-wing thought. It was initially used by neo nazis, then leftists started using it to describe every conservative position they didn't like, trying to paint it as fringe and radical. It's still kind of useful to differentiate between schools of right-wing thought, especially since uniparty republicans aren't even right wing anymore and are consistently failing to represent the people they're supposed to.But "alt right" probably isn't useful anymore. "New right", maybe?

>>733287642>american jewry invented 50 types of "right"Sometimes terms are created in bad faith, but a lot of them evolve naturally to describe and label things. They don't always make the greatest amount of sense, but they arise through usage, like all language. Describing things in full every time you refer to them is ridiculously inefficient so we arrive at generally agreed upon labels to refer to something in brief, so that everyone understands what's being said.You can run into a problem of people having different interpretations and talking past each other, or of groups outgrowing their labels, but it's still useful to have those labels.>its the opposite of efficient.Only if you're a pedantic retard.

>>733287928>2 yearsHoly goalpost shift
Genuinely excited for this game. Used to not give a shit, but the art style and lore really hooked me recently. The factions are all interesting. Not thrilled that’s its extraction shooter but not repulsed either. Assume guns will feel great because it’s bungie, but guess we’ll see how it plays as a whole. Will be playing the open weekend and hopefully enjoying it. Wish they kept the original names of the shells though. New ones are generic and gay.
>>733277369I literally do not care about this game. The only reason I even remember it exists is because faggots like you keep insisting it's going to be the next big thing.

>>733288230Jews are the main characters of history,
>>733277369It wont succeed and it won't be a catastrophic failure either. It will just slowly fade out.Why? Because it offers literally nothing new. Its a new coat of paint on a genre that has communities already rooted in other games. It will tear bits and pieces from other games like arc and tarkov. But ultimately it won't be enough for them to keep pouring more money into it.
>>733288262>the jews try to turn the entire planet into a 3rd world shithole>all it did was make whites fascist againthe jew never learns.
>>733288374>planet becomes 3rd world islamic shithole>jew hate increases curious...
>>733283775Turn your mic on, and not to call someone a nigger, Solo is best for social interactions, and the best duels. Also Marathon has a mega fuckton of story, just look up the lore, watch the vidoc, and realize what they are trying to do here. Once you piece it all together, there is no unseeing it.

Is marathon even single player? I wanted to play an extraction shooter but it is all multiplayer...

>>733289804he's not.
Come on man I need this my ps5 kinda gameless
>>733289810No one goes to heaven because heaven isn't real. It's a fiction invented by Iron Age Jews.
>>733277369It will only find success if Destinydrones gravitate towards next pile of shit Bungie offers them.
>>733289896>jews go to hell after they dieyup.
>>733277369Nah, its not derangement syndrome, i think deep down, all these mfs actually love the game’s aesthetic and lore. Its one of the most unique looking games we’ve gotten in years. It elicits either love or hate, never apathy. I think the problem these people have with it is>No traditional single player>GaaS>some Bungie employees being troons>and Destiny 2 fags getting abandoned
>>733277369Tell me, who's the audience for marathon?It's not fans of the original (it's nothing like it)It's not Fortnut players (they only play fortnut)It's not CoD players (they only play CoD and Battlefield, whose last game is still fresh)It's not Overwatch players (loyal + they got a huge update just now)Even if by a miracle there existed a group of players who'd give this a chance, they were already grabbed by Shart Raiders.>B-but the bungiefags who love Deadstiny and Halo!All 300 of them left, enjoy them added to the Concordillion that play Highguard.
>>733289805The only singleplayer extraction shooter I know of is Escape from Duckov.
>>733277369The only way t his would have a snowflake's chance in hell of not being a flop, would be if they had just released a revival singleplayer title and it sold gangbusters.But they didn't, so see you in the Battleborn/Lawbreakers/Evolve/Concord/Splitgate 2/Dustborn/Forspoken/Highguard threads.
>>733289805original franchise? yesThis slop? noIt's yet another trend-chasing, season-based, battlepass-fueled, generic-playing, online shooter.
>>733277369If I thought that there was a 50/50 shot of it succeeding, I wouldn't be giving it free publicity by helping it have active threads.You could fill a warehouse with bags of dogshit and cover the town in advertisements offering a bag for $50. You could have shills stand outside and talk about how excited they are to own a bag and how it's the best smelling dog shit ever. You could have the entire town talking about these stupid ads where they're trying to sell dog shit, You could have the shills tell them that they're delusional and the bags of dog shit are going to be the next hot thing. When release day hits, that warehouse is going to remain full.
>>733289805No single player, but there is a pseudo campaign, Chinese players were all shocked at how good it was. Its essentially a Destiny 2 campaign with both PvP and Coop enabled.
>>733290236It is crazy that there is an untapped niche like that and they still choose to die on altar of oversaturated market.
>>733285178YesPeople play 64th mipmap stepping in tons of games for that 'clay' visual effectSkyrim in particular has had a couple variations on the near 0 texture detail mods for over a decade.Its fairly popular too.Check gouraud shading from PSX era, Final Fantasy VII. There's tons of nostalgia bait opportunity for imitating the visual style. Just see all of the other chunky unfiltered low rest texture games on the market.lo-fi is in the demand if you otherwise have a game people want to play. Even if the purpose is immersion like Skyrim. Or on the chunky unfiltered side, games like Valhiem.
>>733290564>oversaturate>3 other extraction shooters worth playing>wants another boring singleplayer instead>as if there isn’t millions of those alreadyShut your bitch ass up.
>>733291105A couple of games can oversaturate if they're almost completely interchangable in what they offer to players
>>733277369You spammed this for weeks about high guard too, enjoy your concord 4
>>733290554>No single player, but there is a pseudo campaign,Not what i care about
>>733291105Make sure to have your fill of marathon since it will be closing up a month after release
Don't believe Snoy and Nu Bungies lies.
>>733277369>This game will succeed despite your best efforts to ruin it.Very well, I'm going to do absolutely nothing about it
>>733277369Itll succeed by our standards but it won’t make the money it needs and many people at bungie will be fired
No one cares about this slop. RE9 is currently outselliing it 9 to 1. It's a single player game.

>>733292103>do something about it thenDoes not buying the game count?
I think I'll buy it. A few of my friends are already buying it, and I haven't played a squad based fps in a few years, so it'll be a fun romp for a few weeks.
>>733286907Wait, you have to buy it? For some reason I thought it was going to be free to play.Gives me an excuse not to give it a whirl.
>>733292521>Bu but muh friend slop game!!Jesus Christ
what is this aesthetic called?toastercore?
>>733277369imagine how much of a paypig you need to be when "not buying" takes effort
>>733288480#ad
>>733277369I don't care whether it succeeds or fails. I don't like extraction shooters and I don't like hero shooters. Marathon seems to be a mix of both.
I couldn't imagine having the shit eating taste to be looking forward to this and playing this over the other games coming out with in the next month
>>733292521>a few weeks.I'll be impressed if you can still matchmake with queues below 20 minutes by then.
I'm getting shill fatigue...
>>733292619It's $40.

How to create burnout for your new game, by Bungie:>Announce open preview weekend>It's 5 days>There's headstart rewards that transfer to the game launch>You need to grind to level 30>You need to grind to level 30>The game launches three days later>You start from scratch>Zero discovery remaining, everyone playing on launch is already familiar with the first two maps and progressionAt least Arc Raiders had one map with zero quests iirc. This preview weekend is retarded.
I wish that I could get comparisons for where other games averaged on sales charts two weeks before release.I've seen it break into the top 30.Most of the time, it's out of the top 50.But I know that this would be terrible a week before release, because I've seen games that I was looking forward to hang out in the top ten only to do decent by AA standards. That would be a apocalyptic for Marathon.
>>733293689>>>Announce open preview weekend>>It's 5 days>>There's headstart rewards that transfer to the game launch>>You need to grind to level 30They just want to fomobait streamers and their drones, so they can then buzzword how many gorillion players tried the game over the weekend and hope to trick enough humans with that to buy into it. Just like how AC Shadows kept making daily posts saying how 1-2-3-4-5 million players had "engaged" with it, only for the next financial report to show they had sold roughly 200k copies.
>>733293787Big event games that make a splash tend to be firmly in first place for at least a month (or 2nd-4th if there's other such huge games in the same frame).This shit is fucked unless streamers manage to shill it in overdrive when it releases.
>>733277369I am having a blast with this game
>>733293929This is lightning in a bottle
>>733277369Literally every flop for for the past 5 years has journos hyping it up.
>>733294030What a return to form for this legendary studio!
>>733293929>>733294030>>733294101I'm forming a blast inside this bottle
There's no way this will flop
If there's one project nobody in the industry is worried will fail, it's yours.
I think I'm at the objective!
>>733293929>>733294030>>733294101>>733294180>>733294240>>733294303>the time between those postsLMAO
>>733277369There is nothing I could do to ruin this flop.
>>733277451Fpbp
>>733294352>every post on /v/ is 1 person>every post on /v/ is part of a shill campaign>every post on /v/ is astroturfinglurk moar faggot
>>733288480Holy fuck you aaa slop floppers are desperate
>>733293858>They just want to fomobait streamers and their drones,highguard did the same. piece of shit streamers praised it just like they are doing to marathon.
>>733277369I don't have to do anything in order for this game to fail.This is dead on arrival, people will just continue playing Marvel Rivals and Fortnite as usual.Btw Marvel Rivals would have also been a huge flop if the Overwatch devs weren't massive faggots and lazy fucks.
>>733288480troll or saar. call it
>>733294352I was just doing 5d reversed reverse psychology anti shilling
>>733292680Nepo baby sneaker collection aesthetic
>>733285178I haven't seen a single webm, only good pics... maybe that's why im still paying attention to it
>>733277451I am totally going to HAVE A BLAST playing this!!!
I actually doubt very much the game will fail on release, it had load of marketing for years and I've seeing people waiting for it.where it might struggle is player retention, but that's all depending on what they do.But I cannot see it being an enormous failure like some people are saying.I don't even really understand why people are so angry at this game.
admittedly i dont know shit about marathon (i thought it came out ages ago lol) but the SoP trailer gave me really cool horror/eldritch vibes, whats the hate about?
>>733294909imagine having parents that love you (I know it's hard, but try), then imagine a corporation puppets their dead corpses, pretending they are alive and still love you, while also trying to sell you mountain dew.That's Marathon 2026.
>>733294909It's not all hate. Some of us are just so entertained by the concordian timeline of games as a service flops that we are hyped for March!
>>733277369Says the faggot constantly spamming threads and pretending to be multiple posters.
>>733295147oh, it's a service game? that explains a lot
>>733288480Im not gonna listen to story slop if the people who made it are the same guys who made destiny but STAR WARS
>>733277369yup, and I'm buying it, seethe
https://grok.com/c/1bea9944-d19a-4e89-84b8-56ebde5c04a4?rid=d780c3a0-34fc-44d1-8ec9-4ecd2673845aHere is proof OP is pretending to be multiple unique posters.OP is 100% mentally ill from being terminally online. This is not normal. OP get help and try not to ACK yourself.
>>7332956978 unique posters in this thread and i am the 8th.
I'm not even interested in that game but the hate for it really feels forced compared to others.
>>733294909>>733295796It's not hate, it's schadenfreude! There's nothing but happiness fueling us.
>>733294876bungie really pissed off many of their faithful with a bunch of shit they tried and did pull off in destiny 2, concord really started the anti-wokeflop snowball rolling and it only picked up size and speed with highguard, there's a variety of things
>>733296153What's "woke" about that game?It has a strange art style but at least it's unique enough. That doesn't make it "woke". This is stupid. Even more when people complained a game like Highguard looks too generic, then you have a game with an unique art style and now it's also bad? What do people even want?
>>733296284Nta but I personally don't care about the artstyle (although it WAS butt ugly before sony tard wrangled them), Bungie is incompetent and did nothing but copy paste Destiny 2 gambit/crucible to make Marathon, the gameplay is objectively dogshit due to this and it plays a lot more like a battle royale than anything else. The game itself is also minimum viable product bullshit that's meant to have you doing a treadmill meaningless grind because it secretly has no content.
>>733296284They are all robots but designed to look like androgynous humans. It couldn't be more woke if it tried
>>733296527They're robots bro, they don't have genders
>>733296284anon... anon please just look at the characters come on now. people just want a return to normalcy and not forced wokeness
>>733296784Dude they're just characters that kids look at the entire game. So what if they all look like them/they'd. Fuck off!
>>733297324They look uncanny for some because that's the point, they are made to look weird, this is not "woke".And not even all of them look weird, some are more traditional in their design.
>>733298490
Why are indians so desperate to shill this game on /v/? is it going to turn out Bungie did a lot of outsourcing and they are desperate to reclaim all the izzat Expedition 33 stole from them as a people?
>>733298490No one is wondering why they made a game full of troons and dykes.
>>733298985Anon, you are seeing things that doesn't exist, these are androids.
>>733299078Technically they are video game characters modeled to appear humanoid. But instead of sexy humanoids were are forced to play as slender ken dolls and butch bitches/ flat chested no hips troons. Don't try to gaslight me child.
>>733299481Not all games need to be about "super sexy characters"...
>>733299719Not all games need to be profitable...
>>733277369agree, unc raders crowd will at least gonna try it and based on the latest trailer it's basically the same shit but in first person and different locations.
>>733277369Marathon will succeed or fail no matter what anuone on /v/ says or doesthe only thing /v/ can do is warn you of the iceberg you're about to steer Concord 3 directly into, while you're too high on toxic positivity to listen
Ummm, guys... you told me it was a guaranteed flop...
>>733299830
>>733300103
>>733300278>>This will sell our game...
>>733277369What efforts? I mean literal, I've done nothing.>why he say fuck me for?
>>733300540Yea I don't get that, I was just preparing breakfast this morning and apparently that was going to ruin Marathon ? It's a very small price to pay for homemade croissants tho, get fucked bungie.
>>733298672>why are indians so desperate to shillBecause $5 goes a long way in the slums of Mumbai, anon.>>733299969Last I saw, Marathon was being beaten by 5yr old walking sims on Steam's best sellers list, lol
>>733301025>homemadenice
>>733277369I played this and had a blast, I think the team at Bungie Interactive has really managed at capture the essence of “extraction shooter”. It’s lightning in a bottle
>>733303474>i had a blastah yes the videogame version of tv influencers going "well first off, i had a lot of fun".
its a win win the game fails I get to make fun of it if the game doesnt fail nothing happens because I didnt pay for it
>>733303701It's the concordian gambit.
people are forgetting this is nubungieeven if it doesnt manage to get a strong player base its only a matter of time until they turn it into a destiny 2 size shitshow and everyone turns on it
>>733303647First off, I had a lot of fun. But why did you design your game to appeal to no one?
>>733286907I thought this shit was free to play, lol. This game is even more fucked than I originally thought.
>>733277369I think it might do ok. One obvious advantage it has compared to the games it's being compared to, it has a clean futuristic look like Mirror's Edge or Wipeout. Lumping it together with games that have stereotypical woke black characters, if not outright nonbinary ones, when the key art shows robot/tech dudes, is stupid. Bungie deserves to fail, I don't think the people who know are gonna be the ones who play this.
>>733288528>Consistently Good>Destiny 2I know this is bait but I'm gonna bite.Actually fuck off, theres no way you can see anything with Destiny 2 and say "this is good".
>>733304297>it has a clean futuristic look like Mirror's Edge or WipeoutIt's not a clean look. The characters are fine but the world itself could be better presented. Even with the same or similar colour scheme it could be more cleanly applied to be more readable in the world.
>>733288807and that's supposed to make him right? God's cursed people sucks
>they're nooticing
>>733305080Whores do things when you pay them. Astounding.
>>733305169Are you saying OP is a whore?
>>733305207No
>>733305207No, I'm saying streamers and 'influencers' are whores who will hike their skirts up if you flash a modest amount of money in front of them.
>>733305238>>733305294Idk you seem pretty whorish to me
>>733305207Nah, OP can't be a whore, whores actually get paid. OP is either a troll or a shill that gets no money.
>>733305474you are wrong
is it more fun than Arc Raiders.>noit is dead in the water
When your only retort to increasingly positive public reception is "SHILLS" and "ITS BOTS", that means you are losing.No bandwagoning streamer or "micro-influencer" will change the fact that this environment is not the same as Highguard, or Concord, or any other slop you wanna compare it to.
>>733277451The shilling will not stop until morale improves
>>733305617There absolutely are shills for this game.
>>733278946our entire society is just non-stop gaslighting now
>>733305617Whore
>>733284465you know what has a great art style? The Forever Winter
>>733277451BLAST = HAVINGFORM = RETURNEDCHUDS = SEETHING
>>733305617It's even more sinister than that though - all these studios use stealth/viral ad firms to shill nonstop - 90% of the shills come from wall street backed public corps
>>733305617>increasingly positive public receptionThis is the current shill line and they (you) have been using it for about a week. (It started mysteriously at the same time as Bungie doing its current marketing push with the streamers.) Public reception hasn't changed. Normalfags look at Marathon the same way today as they did eight months ago. That you shills have to keep trying to force this narrative of 'it's good now' is an overwhelmingly obvious indication that it isn't, because you're being sent here to tell us it is.
>>733296153it's not really "woke" that the players don't like - it's just the association that woke has with being low quality
>>733305809>Base your entire marketing campaign about your game not being FOMO slop>Release FOMO slop
>>733288480>watch the vidoc lololololol
>>733306002Nobody likes woke anything. Not even the woke retards themselves, since the woke games are always massive flops and the 'modern audience' never seems to show up.
>>733288036>but the art style and lore really hooked me recently.you shills repeat the same patterns just like mainstream journalists when they all get marching orders to say the same shit on the same day - it's so fucking obvious
>>733289690I'm nowhere near schizo enough to even begin comprehending this image.
>>733277451Seething!Marathon already won. You guys are spiraling hard.
>>733305876Anon the change in public opinion started as far back as December when the game returned from radio silenceThe fact that you didn't notice it until it snuck up on you in the last few days after the announcement of the test weekend is simply a you thing.They've simply been showing more of the game and people are taking noticeIf the game is so DOA you shouldn't have anything to worry about anyways
>>733288480Also preorder the ultra deluxe edition which gives you a skin that is CRUCIAL to piecing the puzzle of the lore together!
>>733286338you people are SO BAD AT THIS - X is a honeypot and everyone knows it - elon is a fucking sell out and never would have been allowed to buy twitter without CIA approval. Gaslight gaslight gaslight endless gaslighting
>>733287857Maybe if we call linux TROONIX then the chuds will hate it and not ditch windows 11 right? Right? It's all so simple!!!! Just use the troon word - SO SCARY!!!
>>733306087to be fair - BG3 is the exception and good example of my argument - it's just that usually anything advertising how many trannies or women they have in the studio is an obvious sign "this place wastes time like a mother fucker" and you know whatever it is they are making will be shit. Larian just had enough of their original dev team left that is probably all men i don't even have to look to know that's probably true
>>733294909Mostly comes from one of 3 things>they don't like the art style>they don't like the extraction shooter genre>they don't like bungieI think a lot of people got it into their head that this game was gonna be an overwhelming failure because of the artist controversy they had. When that happened, the hate for the game was utterly universal because Bungie literally had nothing to show for it. There was no gameplay footage or idea of how the game would play, so everyone just wrote off the game.But now the game is coming out, and there is footage of the game, and it looks good, but yet there are still people who have it in their heads that this game is gonna fail, because they decided a year ago that it was gonna and they don't like the idea of being wrong. Ego is a crazy thing, so you'll see them just outright lie or make up shit in addition to going over the same subjective talking points again and again
What are you maining? Choose your house and stand by it
>>733306212>it started changing in December!No, not unless you define 'change' as 'remembered Bungie was working on an extraction shooter.' /v/ has been laughing it on and off since then, so it's never far from the board's awareness since it's on flopwatch.>people are taking noticeShill-kun, the fact that you're here and how we're already seeing prelaunch 'it's not a bad game / give it a chance' journalist articles coming out means Sony isn't confident in its performance and is doing a marketing push to try to generate interest. The Highguard flop also undoubtedly has them spooked.>it's DOASadly, it won't be a Concord situation where the game closes in two weeks unless something absolutely crazy happens. The likely situation is it will peak around 250k (maybe 300k) on its launch weekend and then bleed out as Sony realizes how the game will never make back what they spent developing it, and then what happens to Bungie becomes the more interesting question.
alright fine i want to fucking play marathon
MARATHON WILL SHIT ITS PANTS
>>733306438Recon>Thief>Assassin don't care about the others but rook obvious for scav runs
>>733306410BG3 isn't woke. The only people claiming such are trolls who want to shitpost and bait people, and actual woke retards who desperately need a 'win' to point at and say 'see! woke sells! chuds btfo!' The fact that you can exterminate every gay/lesbian NPC in BG3 means it isn't woke, even ignoring how a game having gays in it doesn't automatically make it woke.
>>733277369> shill> shill> shill> gaslight> gaslight> shill > shill> try to get more online censorship when it was entirely your own viral marketing team shilling and gaslighting the entire time> shill > gaslight> shilli fucking hate corpo dev studios and can't wait for them to all die
>>733306438Depends; I really want to try destroyer since the thruster boosting seems fun as fuck and the core he gets where you can one shot people with your knife seems like an interesting way to play, but lots of people seem to wanna play him so I might go with assassin, who seemed pretty popular with the chinese that got to try the game
>>733305169Man this thread is filled with whores all of a sudden.
>>733306630It's probably just two or three dedicated ones. Maybe they just dissociate when doing their jobs, because it has to be psychologically taxing to get insulted and proven wrong for hours and hours each day.
>>733277369concord 2
>>733285178me, i love it. its a combination of information overload, prefab construction, motogp, and korean high fashion. Its like neotokyo meets mirrors edge but with even more information. the desperate efforts of everyone, frantically scrambling, to categorize it negatively, let's you know they've landed on something special>ITS UMM ROBLOX??>ITS UMM NERF ARENA ??>UMMM OR LIKE A PLASTIC HALO??>UMM ITS LIKE SNEAKER-CORE MAYBE????>OR LIKE DETERGENT COMMERCIALS???>I SWEAR I HATE IT AND IM NOT THINKING ABOUT IT ALL THE TIMEart styles that are unable to pick at people's brains dont have this effect lol. this broad irony-ladened attempt to categorize is a sign you are seeing something ahead of its time. just sayin
>>733306515bg3 is woke as fuck - you're a self revealing faggot
>>733285327i cant tell if this is pro and anti marathon, or genuine, or ironic. ends up feeling very marathon-like, like a Durandal-style-schizo rant. bravo
>>733306442You are very out of touch from being inside the /v/ and twitter-crossposter bubble for too long.Looking forward to seeing the backpedaling in a week.
>>733306438Probably Destroyer, then Thief and Vandal when they get male skins. Thats not to say they aren’t hot, im just not gay enough to play as a woman.
>>733286907after the server slam, that number will skyrocket. of course people havnt locked in pre-orders as much, there has been an incredibly forced hate campaign and a final open play test is right around the corner. basically, checkup on that top-sellers placement in about a week lol
>>733306943You're right. Maybe I just hallucinated the article from Push-Square (a Sony simp site) preemptively saying 'g-give it a chance, guys' about Marathon. And maybe that peanut stream didn't happen, where nothing moved the needle. Or maybe I misread that Steam best sellers list that had Marathon being beaten by 5+yr old games.Shill-kun, you need to reevaluate your life choices.
>>733294641 so is he...
>>733306438The tampon headed one.
>>733300391She’s a hot robot, whats the problem here?
>>733300391uhhhh yes thief is cute
>>733307083>And maybe that peanut stream didn't happen, where nothing moved the needleThe same stream where after he said he liked it, every single cattle in the chat immediately switched up and started spamming "Marathon W"You really ARE out of touch if you don't see how this is gonna go
>>733300391>this will sell our game
>>733307280Through the power of critical thinking skills, you might've noticed that the game's position in terms of preorders and wishlists didn't spike or jump, which means the people in the stream either took no action beyond clapping like seals, or were bots. Continue ignoring the actual current figures if you think it helps you try to convince people the game isn't in a bad state this close to launch.
>>733307162Why is the robot wearing a parka? Why are the male characters androgynous twinks? Because imbeciles want to cover up and pervert the beauty of the female and male forms. Why don't the runners use spider tank bodies then? It would make way more sense?
>>733306438Does anyone have that picture of>The Good Guys, you're rooting for them (most retarded gay looking designs ever)>The Bad Guys, you're not rooting for them... right? (Helldivers looking hugo boss scary mother fuckers)It perfectly encapsulates Marathon.
>>733277369You know what's really crazy?Is despite all the memes you're right. Bungie will die but this won't be the game that does it.
>>733306438I think it's a shame that they went with concrete classes/heroes instead of letting the players do custom characters and builds. But the Rook is a really cool idea, because it's the closest to being a blank.
>>733305809Forever Winter WAS in interesting but plagued by TERRIBLE design decisions. the aesthetic was amazing, the concept was fantastic, but then you actually got into the game and it felt like shit, was balanced like shit, and had terrible masochistic fomo bullshit like the water system. they may have changed it by now but it was way too latemarathon on the other hand will definitely have solid gameplay, its bungie for fuck's sake, if they know how to do anything, its make a competent fps handler that feels good to use. destiny generally feels good to play, its just wrapped in a shitty mmo design. extraction feels inherently much more interesting to me as a genre. balance is another question though, double barrel kinda looks like bullshit, too much damage all at once from a little too far away
>>733307336Not demonic and perverting beauty norms at all.
>>733277451this but unironically
Im going to play the open beta and Im going to have a blast :)
>>733307561Bro she’s a cybernetic mercenary, not a prostitute. I would assume all she is wearing is for protection against bullets.
The game will be too sweaty for me most likely but I’ll try it out. Proximity chat, team based, extraction just sounds like a nightmare. I’ll give it a whirl tho
>>733307576encapsulates arc raiders more tbqh
>>733306194I am already looking forward to dilating to the release countdown
>>733306943Kill yourself retarded faggot.
>>733307365>you might've noticed that the game's position in terms of preorders and wishlists didn't spike or jumpSpiked up to the 20's in the US after his stream. Currently sitting at 39 in the US right now (was out of the top 100 even in the US for several weeks until recently)
>>733277451this doesnt make sense, marathon got a bunch of negative feedback already earlier, theyre not in an echo chamber of toxic positivity
>>733307836I accept your concession
>>733307864>not free to play in a genre FILLED with f2p games
>>733307723What I'm trying to say is that they could have used the beauty of the human body to make the game look better. Or they could have made any other form of robot. But they chose human. Then they chose to pervert it and make it ugly. But beauty is in the eye of the beholder. To me it is a shamelessly ugly design choice around every corner of this plastic fantastic bdsm inspired corpo slop. It will flop.
>>733307967>in a genre FILLED with f2p gamestarkov and arc raiders were paid too
>>733307864Honestly more shocked RE4 is that low on a sale that big. When did it even release?
>>733307864Just checked Steamcharts with absolutely no filters for best selling. Marathon actually dropped a few spots since last time.Don't bring your lying bullshit here, shill.
>>733307336i can fix her...
>>733306943It’s amusing when these bedridden neets think they have their finger on the pulse of everything. Most of the hate posting has been from disenfranchised destiny players and serial culture war losers with no life. But now that we’re a week away from beta and people are actually ready to play the “sentiment” is already flipping.
>>733307659lore-wise, some shells are more eccentric because they act as anchors for the users consciousness. basically there is this idea that being in a shell is a fucked up disconnected experience that can take a toll on a user's mind, so some shells have this focus on eccentricity to overcompensate for that effect, this over-expression to "anchor" you more to the shell. And keep in mind there are only like, 2 shells like that. Destroyer for example is literally just "cool soldier" if the high fashion stuff isnt for you
>>733308082Oooh, close but no cigar, I was specifically talking about the US. You posted worldwide numbers, son.Now you will say "Lying shill only using the US numbers fuck yoooou bastard bitch" But we were talking about the impact of Peanut's stream, who's viewer base who are all undoubtedly American. The rest of the world will catch up next week.
>>733307864>has to switch to US because its an absolute turd in the global selling place, where its getting beat by two indie walking simsyeah no, sorry shill. games not selling well at ALL.
>>733307724if it was a /comfy/ co-op extraction shooter and worked on linux id play it but its gonna be pvp extraction shooter and bungie game so i wont play it
>>733307967good, keeps hackers and thirdies out
>>733308365Its getting beat by high on life 2, which has a peak player count of 2k on steam. So what, Marathon cant even move 1000 copies, remember its US only, in the US after peanut shilled hard for it?this shits got flop all over it.
>>733308365You do realize if this idiot's stream resulted in an appreciable bump the number, even in global sellers would go up and not down, right? Because US users make up such a large percentage of Steam's playerbase? That marathon fell in the global list means the stream's bump was so small as to be negligible.>the rest of the world will catch up next weekThe only thing that will move the needle one way or the other will be the free playtest weekend whatever that's coming up, but it's also going to be where the normalfags realize how casual unfriendly marathon is, so I'm excited to see how it turns out.
Dunno why people hate the robots, I love the look. Very unique transhuman tech level rarely seen in games like this.I'll join MIDA anyways fuck earthfags
>>733308217I think that the character designs are seriously flawed. Just because there is lore to explain the flaws doesn't excuse them from being there. I don't want to look at the characters or the environments in this game. With or without lore to hide the warts of poor design philosophy. But I'm not going to say don't play it. I just expect it to flop.
>>733308403without thirdies theres no playerbase for any games
The playtest will have the opposite effect Bungie expects. They're so confident people will like what they've made despite their constant track record of making dogshit these past few years. Most players will be filtered by the trials like gameplay and they will just go back to Arc which is already the superior game. Arc coping in 5.
>>733308036RE4Remake came out in 2024, I think. It's on sale because of the Capcom weekend even because Capcom is going balls deep on marketing for RE9.
>>733305584I played the last two Marathon tests, it is better than Arc and i own Arc.
>>733308834Screencapping to laugh at you later
Why are there like four threads up about this?
>>733308772saaaar
>>733307625Forever Winter is early access lol.It's still got another year left in development ffs.
>>733306438I am interested in Void and Vandal because of the cinematic. I really like their looks but I might be a Recon, Thief player
>>733308834>go back to ArcIf Arc gets any kind of player or sales bump when Marathon is having its beta test weekend, Marathon is in major trouble because it means people are trying it, saying 'nah', and going to the existing (better) casual extraction game. If that happens, Marathon is almost certainly going to flop when it comes out.
>>733309321Unironic hostile shilling from Bungie/Fiverr jeets.Bungie/Sony are desperate to survive/make a return on investment respectively.
Give me Armored Core tier gynoid customization and a fully fleshed out pve mode that isn't just "pvp with bots", and I'll consider looking at you again.
>>733309475Arc is super casual and with zero high and endgame content. Quest are all collect item. You are delusional.
>>733309598Newsflash moron shillfaggot the majority of players are casual, Bungie still chases a playerbase that does not exist and that's why they keep failing. If players want hardcore they already got Tarkov.
>>733309598>Arc is casual and has no high end content!So? It's clearly not a problem for players, since Arc's numbers are very healthy and it's regularly in Steam's top 10 most played games in the last half year. The sweat/hardcore market doesn't exist, which is also why Destiny 2's hardcore PVP modes never succeed. But keep deluding yourself into believing a hardcore extraction game like marathon is going to entice and retain casual gamers.
>>733309321Cause the same 4 schizos from /dg/ are spamming doom threads about it constantlyThey come here to control the narrative that is quickly unraveling before them
My biggest gripe with this game is bungie themselves. They've learned nothing from Destiny 2, so then why should I have faith they just woke up one day and decided to right all their wrong with an entirely new game?
>>733309705Hell that entire stream with Peanut was a huge tell, if the devs were playing seriously he and the girl playing with him would've been dead 90% of the time. That is your average player, mostly clueless and just looking to have fun without sweating, the fact that they had to essentially give him a curated experience is enough of a tell that casuals will be filtered out.
Can someone drop the discord link so we can coordinate our anti-concord3 efforts? I want to be ready for release
>>733310048Sorry anon, Bungie and their shills are already doing that job better than any of us here ever could.
>>733309586This guy has the right idea.
>>733309705>>733309707Arc has lost 250-300k concurrent players since launch. People are 100% getting bored. I'm one of them.
>>733310095I’m literally shaking at the thought of Marathon doing well. But I hope you’re right
>>733310224?It's a 200k 24h peak on arc, and highest is months after initial release
>>733309707The October closed test had more content than the full game of Arc! Played the test.
>>733310290Arc was 500k at xmas on Steam.
>>733310224Arc had a peak of around 450k and it hovers around 200k, which is super healthy for a new live service game and Arc is still in Steam's top 5 games by concurrency. This shill talking point of 'b-b-but they're down from their peak!' is disingenuous because the numbers are still extremely good compared to other games.>>733310293What kind of crazy lie is this? Fuck no it didn't, and the game itself was weak and uninteresting enough for Sony to delay it six months to add more content and fix shit.
>>733310368yea so? its normal for games to go up and downlook at PoE and how far it dries up in between updates
bungie has not made a good game since halo reach, over 14 years ago. this is no different, the company is a travesty, destiny is trash as was its sequel, and this will be trash too that will flop hard. Good, we need more big flops for these big shitty multiplayer games. The game is also ugly as fuck the art design is atrocious as has every single piece of promotional material I've seen. Just ugly.
>>733287928real destiny fans know to not fall for nu-bungie’s lies again
>>733310095
I'm not buying it
>>733310290Lost roughly half of its playerbase and the current content drought hasn't even hit its driest point yetThere are daily game breaking exploits and issues that, once fixed, open up new ones in their place. Their new update for next week is adding new weather for a limited time and just copy-pasting an enemy from one map to another.Its GRIM
the amount of damage control they're doing tells me this game will fail
Is it woke?
>>733310646A key part of the Marathon shilling seems to be trying to shit talk Arc at every opportunity (like >>733310636), probably because Arc stole all of Marathon's thunder and captured the casual player extraction market Bungie wanted, lol
>>733310646Poking holes in retarded ramblings isn't damage control anon
The Arc Raiders coping is insane it's like the shills are completely mindbroken by it. Crying about a game that's consistently above 200k players daily as though it were dying is extremely pathetic.
Bungie is going to learn the hard way that TPP is way more popular than FPPRegardless of how much FPP gamers hate it
>>733310460Everyone said the October test was good. The only complaint was poor lighting and people wanting more clutter on the map. All of which was implemented in the December test.Your are being disingenuous or lying about Marathon. And the October test 100% had more content than the full game of Arc has right now.
>>733310737if they were smart they'd compare it to arc instead of shitting on it since that game was a successlure in the players saying its like arc but a little different flavor
You may not like to hear it but arc raiders and apex legends will not exist in two years, their eulogy? About two weeks
>>733310853>everyoneAre they in the room with us right now, shill?>100% more content than ArcIt was real in my mind. When marathon finally comes out and there's no shilling or ability to provide a marketing guided tour, the actual 'how much content is there' question will be answered. Until then, it's just bullshit marketing spin from people like (you)>>733310867I get the impression the marketing script intentionally only attacks Arc because they probably know if they try to compare and contrast the two, people will realize Arc is better value and established. And there's also the underlying fundamental issue of how marathon is a hardcore PVP game, which is complete cancer if you're trying to get the casual audience. (Just ask the Wildstar devs)
outlook not good
>>733309321The game comes out in like 2 weeks and if it flops Bungie is done for and it needs to break 10 million units sold in its opening quarter and be in the top 5 software sales of the year to make a profit.I am not joking these are actual paid shill threads because their company is about to die.
>>733277369Succeed at what? Being yet another piece of shit GaaS for normgroids that only play 3 games a year? Fine, I guess.
>>733310853This is lightning in a bottle. I trust this team wholeheartedly. If there's one project nobody in the industry is worried will fail, it's yours. This has mainstream hit written all over it. There's no way this will flop. I could play this game all day.
My little cousin who was so happy to get arc raiders for Christmas is already asking if he can get Marathon when it comes out
>>733277369It's lightning in a bottle. There's no way this will flop.
I can not wait to witness the buckbreaking of monumental scale when this game releases and is successful
>>733311114>needs to break 10m units sold in opening quarterThat's a sellthrough rate of 3.34m units per month in March, April, and May. Against RE9 coming out and probably some GTAVI trailers eating the marketing news cycle. I just don't see it happening at all.>>733311220>I love it>we're making something amazing>there's no way it could fail>..I was soon to change my mind, however>>733311235Funny, the shills for Avowed, Veilguard, and Highguard all said the same thing. Remind me, how did those games turn out?
>>733311114>I am not joking these are actual paid shill threadsno shit. I haven't seen such transparent marketing language used since fucking Borderlands.we are 1 step removed from them literally posting "hello fellow gamers"
>>733277369blasthavers...it's our time...again...
I have never understood why anyone would think /v/ is a good place to shill /v/ hates good games, bad games, all games.you get nothing from shilling here
>>733311262Nobody was shilling for fucking concord or highguard on this board, get real. Nobody cared about these games at all. That’s the difference. The hate for Marathon so far is from disgruntled Destiny players largely and others who want everything to fail. You’re talking about a well established studio bringing something unique to the table, and no I don’t give a shit what your opinion is.
>>733285178No one knows for sure, if the design don't hit, theyre fucked. But let's remember the 1994 game flopped
>>733311058>>733311193Cope shills.
>>733311392The problem is /v/ should be a place to discuss video games, which is what people try to do. Then you get called a shill for being excited to try something out that some culture war zombie has already deemed bad and a le flop.
>>733311395Highguard had one or two early on, but there was a point where ironic shitposters took over with most of the Geoff-style 'In 24 hours, I'll be accepting your apology' posting.>>733311409The 1994 game isn't at all comparable here since it came out before most anons were even born.
>send vid of gameplay to friend asking if it seems cool and he's interested in playing>starts talking about how the game seems like it "doesn't change the formula" and "is just re-inventing the wheel" and it's 100% bound to fail in an over saturated market>doesn't even answer my question but just starts rattling off about the games industry>"cool man, I guess I won't see you in the server slam next week then?">says he'll download it and give it a trymaybe seeing footage of this game just gives some people brain damage or something. All I asked is if it looked fun and if he wanted to play it
>>733311584you sound like a real faggot. you asked him if it seems cool and he said no and explained why. you asked if he would try the FREE demo and he said sure. the fact you can't wrap you stinking nigger brain around this is actually shocking. you disgusted me through my fucking screen with you profound stupidity. You're lucky you have any friends at all
>>733311584>I guess I won't see you in the server slamNo real person talks like this.
>>733311262>Funny, the shills for Avowed, Veilguard, and Highguard all said the same thing. Remind me, how did those games turn out?I wonder why you didn't include arc raiders on that list? you niggers were prematurely dancing on the grave of that game before it released, even using the same complaints that you've since revived for marathon
>>733311584Your friend was sperging probably because he already saw the massive backlash from plebs and got pre programmed, he’ll flip on the slam most likely.
>>733311114But the more they spend on shills, the more they need to sell to cover the costs, right?
>>733311419who's falseflagging who at this point?
>>733311773>why didn't you include Arc RaidersBecause I was using examples of shilled games that flopped, you mongoloid. Arc succeeded and continues to succeed and hasn't left Steam's top 10 games by players since launching. And nobody gave that much of a shit about Arc before it launched if I recall, it was mostly this unknown thing with anons occasionally rubbernecking past threads to laugh at it for being an extraction game. Marathon has been scandal after scandal since it got announced, and its from a once-great studio, so the 'I hope it flops, because it's hilarious' levels are higher.
>>733311874the marketing budget was probably set a year ago. they aren't just making it up as they go along. fucking idiot children.
>>733311727>and he said no and explained whyHe literally didn't say no though, and when I assumed that he wouldn't be down to play or that he wasn't interested he corrected me saying that it's not true. If what I said is enough to make you that upset though you sound like you need to get in touch with reality>>733311742Sorry I'm actually a fake AI boogeyman skinwalker whatever the fuck, you're right>>733311831Maybe? Feels especially weird for him to just mouth off like that since he's always down to play bad games anyway. Guy convinced me to buy that RWBY game just so he wouldn't be alone trying it out
>>733277369why are the character designs ugly
>>733312026he said it looks generic. sorry you are so stupid you cannot even parse the words your friends say to you without a stranger explaining it. it looks like many shooters that have come before it but with a new half-baked gimmick tacked on
>>733311773>/v/ is one personThere are all kinds of /v/ users, a lot of people were unironically hyped for Arc and you also had those obsessed with woke hating that you can make androgynous characters (nobody does that in the game other than the usual mentally ill persons).Marathon is a different case, the normies hate it because of the art scandal and their vaulting, the oldfags hate it because Bungie is a shadow of their former selves, the polfags hate it because Bungie is unequivocally woke, Destiny players hate it because it killed their game, and I'm sure whoever I'm not including hates it too for a myriad of reasons.Marathon is an universally hateable game, especially now thanks to the excessive and hostile shilling. You know I was actually considering buying the game back in december? Thanks to all this shilling I kinda got disgusted with the idea and decided I would buy Arc to play with my friends instead.
The main reason the game has more positive sentiment now is that people felt like the hate was forced and unfair.You goofs tried to tortanic too hard
>>733312092fucking kek the buttplug was unexpected
>>733277369isn't this that game that stole those art assets from that guy ?
>>733312208That woman, yes.
https://grok.com/share/c2hhcmQtMw_50006d35-e95b-41f8-b473-5b5eec75b3b6Grok update!Oh no guys. 8 unique posters in this thread.OP is mentally ill.
>>733312137>Marathon is a universally hateable game, especially now thanks to the excessive and hostile shillingThis cannot be stated enough, and its something I wish these boomer marketing execs would realize with this stealth marketing garbage. All of these marathon threads, even ones started by shills, are just hundreds of replies of the shills being dismantled and rebuked at every point, with anons posting actual factual information about marathons preorders, posts from normalfag forums, and elsewhere. It's the exact opposite of generating any kind of positive message about the game and makes marathon look worse in every thread.
>>733312157the main reason anyone is talking about it at all is because the marketing ramped up as release is close. nobody in the entire world wants to play this shit fucking game. and it's not for any reason except that it is a miserably designed slog that will instantly disgust any fan of shooters who tries it
>>733312235>w*manwe say foid here tourist
The entirety of /v/ is at stake and you’re laughing?
>>733312295Spare me your neologisms young man
>>733277369doesn't matter how much they pay you trannies to shill this trash, the damage is done.

>>733312256/v/'s best and brownest have arrived
https://youtu.be/hWwXSb7dlnQ?si=ztcTlrKOPLPh-VKrHow does this look horrible?It's kino.
>>733314787OG marathon is kino. numarathon is a lego/ikea nightmare.
>>733314914Looks like lego? Do try harder.
>>733315542>doesn't understand the lego metaphor when referring to a mismashed color schemeHow are things on the indian subcontinent?
>>733312256a prompt like this is basically begging an ai to hallucinate lmao
Does this have a PvE mode or is it more soul harming murderslop?
>>733317518combined pve pvp. think arc raiders but with both more sweaty pve and pvp, without any of the mechanics dipping into masochistic tarkov territory. the pve npc robots will chase, flank, ambush etc bungie style ai bipedal enemies, people say they are fairly oppressive and can use up quite a bit of your resources, then the pvp is much more incentivized and sweaty than arc raiders. probably not for everyone but the combination it appeals to me personally
>>733317518>does it have a PVE modeNo. Everything is PVP and there's no way to play without risking getting ratted or ganked. And the AI is super brainless from what was in the Chinese guy's stream.
>>733317935From what I have heard, the enemy AI difficulty is dependent on which map you're on
>>733319691Nah it depends on what rank of bot you are fighting. A basic "grunt" robot can wipe you in 1 second if you are not ready. The later maps have higher concentrations of AI though.
>>733277369Marathon has some of the worst looking weapons I've ever seen
Ok guys, apparently RE9 sucks, so i guess im going to play this instead. Hopefully theres room in Tau Ceti 4 for a demoralized RE fan like myself.
>>733277369Sorry but the council have decided this game will be Concord 3.Enjoy you're failure and subsequent bankruptcy.
>>733315542>>733315781As someone who has worked as a literal fraud investigator, I love these tiny interactions that give someone away.
>>733324339>733322231yep. The shill quality seems to be especially poor for /v/. Maybe the expensive ones are all on reddit.
>>733324339You live in your moms basement as a neet.
>>733324779Better than in a group home in Bengaluru.
>>733324779Basements are literally not even a thing in my country, clown.
>>733277369I killed your games and I'll do it again without doing anything.
I like the aesthetic and artstyle but if its just another generic looter slop raiders extraction shooter then whats the point.They couldve done so much more in terms of game design, added RPG elements and questlines, made it more like the division 2 or dayz.I have battle royale extraction shooter fatigue. I refunded arc raiders after an hour it was so boring.
>>733277451I'm not doing anything doe
DetergentpunkDishwashercoreFootlockerwave
>>733328159Same, I like it visually but an extraction shooter is something I have zero interest in. I would have prefered for it to have a story mode and then multiplayer like Halo used to
>>733328460I like how it looks but the gameplay will be shit.Also it will probably have kernel level anticheat despite linux being popular.
>>733277369its success or failure has no effect on me
>>733277369You said the same thing about Highguard.
the art style is actually solid, they could really pull it off if done wel->those weapons, those characterswhat in the fuck?
Buy a fucking ad loser
>Slopcore bait thread devolves into /leftypol/ meltdownsWhat did I think of it?
>>733312256seven now, got warned and will probably get another three day for posting thisenjoy your botspam, seems to be what the jannies want
>>733284478Arc Raiders’ massive success shows it is. Right now if you want an active extraction shooter Arc is your best bet. There’s Tarkov as well but only being on pc limits it audience. Marathon could definitely find a niche by being available on everything and it’s different enough from its competitors.
>>733328460They could and should have used this art direction for a spiritual successor to Oni.
>>733277369>having a return to blast form huzzah
>>733306128Because the art style is a defining part of this game, retard. Try talking about Jet Set Radio and not bringing up the art style or music when those are literally the most iconic aspects of it
>>733329328Arc Raiders got the casuals.Marathon is halfway between Arc and Tarkov but that mean it's still gonna be an impenetrable sweatfest.And the biggest problem no one brings up? It's a fucking hero shooter. Which means metafaggotry up the wazoo with zero actual player investment in their characters.And Bungie is utter dogshit at balancing.The hero shooter aspect is actually by far the biggest issue the game has that I'm surprised no one is bringing up more. That will completely kneecap it longterm.
>>733329582Difference is that the art style for those games are actually well executed in gameThe artstyle for Marathon only shines in cinematicsIt looks complete ass and bland as fuck during gameplay
>>733329613>hero shooterDidn't they panic and change it to just a class shooter, like BF6?
>>733329405having a blast with this lightning in a bottle game, a true return to form and love letter to the fansnow heres geoff keighley
>>733329725There's still a lot of very defined rock paper scissors shit going on with the shells. And like I said, once the autistic meta develops this game is gonna have zero chance of ever actually becoming a hit
>>733329725they did panic but the only change they did was semantics, the gameplay is exactly the same. It is not a class shooter.
>>733329725>>733329871what's supposed to be the difference between a class shooter and a hero shooter?
>>733330770>what's supposed to be the difference between a class shooter and a hero shooter?not him but usually classes had specialized equipment but heroes have intristic press E to AWESOME that has nothing to do with equipment
>>733330770class shooter:>small number of classes>player characters aren't unique, no annoying millenialcore backstories>just the shooting, manhero shooter:>god knows how many heroes>heroes are all unique, making balancing a nightmare>mmo style abilities with cooldowns>insufferable
>>733330770>class shooterMultiple people can be the same class on both teams>hero shooterthe hero is unique to each team, so there can never be more than two of the same hero in a match Think TF2 (class shooter) vs. Overwatch (hero shooter)
>>733330770Heros are distinct. Individual. Complete name, story, and power set. Aiming to be unique. Joseph Campbel.Marvel Rivals, Overwatch, Rainbow 6 siege. Deadlock.Classes are a category of role/job. Different loadouts. More customization.TF2. Most battlefield games. Ghost Recon. Old Rainbow 6.
>>733330914I don't really see much of a difference between destroyer's shield and like, the medic's healgun in planetside 2. Like the shield has a cooldown for balance reasons but they're both effectively infinite, intrinsic abilities.>>733331050We don't know how many characters there's going to be yet and them being individuals with their own backstories got veto'd, at least for the versions that you play as. The characters being distinct instead of letting you mix and match all the different abilities makes it much easier to balance I would think since you don't have to account for any weird synergies or unintended interactions. Also, classes would be distinct as well I don't see any difference with that. Only heavies can use MGs only engineers can repair, etc.>>733331068marathon's a class shooter then, you can triple down on the same character if you wanted>>733331174You can bring whatever loadout you want in marathon. Whatever guns, whatever grenades or equipment, your character doesn't make any difference for that
>>733329404 Oni in 2026 would sell about twelve copies and half of them would be to youtube essayists.I get what you mean though. The clean anime-cyberpunk thing actually fits tight corridor brawling way more than “looter extraction but you’re a neon fridge.” Instead they stapled it onto Tarkov-lite and called it a day.Bungie was never going to make a niche character action shooter when they can chase GAAS whales again. Cool art + wrong genre is basically their brand at this point.
WOW I LOVE THE ART STYLE!!!!
>>733285178The art looks cool in stylized trailers, screenshots, and concept art. In the game they didn't translate it well and it looks really bad.
>>733326445Is this guy still at Bungie?Or did he leave/get the boot after that whole incident?
>>733277369Not even trying to be a shill but this would be an instant buy for me if it was a single play game
100% all in on Marasneed.Escape will make me chud.
Why chuds throwing a tantrum over this game so much?
>>733332989dunno, why chuds throwing a tantrum over this game so much?
The best part is it's lose-lose for Sony. Even if the game gets a decent sized playerbase, they're never making back the literal billions they spent acquiring Bungie, plus the other 10 GaaS games that have all flopped/shut down. There's still waiting on news of FairGame$ being cancelled though.
>>733287928Destiny fan here - fuck no. Extraction shooters are boring
>>733332989>no one cares about it>WHY DO CHUDSlolqueers are obsessedno one's gonna buy your shit game, redditor
>>733285178Which artist did this plagiarise?
>>733285178Yet nobody complained about mirrors edge
>constant shill spammed threads trying to pre-build a narrative about 4chan hating on marathon>actual 4chan just dont post about it because they dont carehmmmmmmmmmmm
>>733306779Bro its not that hard lmaoIts prefab scifi
concord 3
>>733332132as funny as this is, its important to remember, nobody was doing this to highguard. this art style just yanks something out of people. its like, intrigue disguised as mockery lmao they got you making fan art nigga!
>>733277369I will do nothing
>>733334049yes and the color, decals, and fashion choices specifically line up with those inspirations i was mentioning
Bungie just turned 35 million people against Marathon, I'm thinking it's quite over.
>>733333529Destiny is super boring. Your opinion is invalid.
>>733334407and it looks like fucking shit ingame
>>733333634A dei hire stole two decals from a tranny artist.
>>7333347291080p videos look shit anon.
>>733334528no... marathon bros... how could this happen....
>>733334729i think it looks interesting, at the very least, different from most other things today
>>733285178I like itIt's very unique and interesting to look at without being ugly and reads well in motionDespite being entirely synthetic it can still get the vibes of body horror across, like when you're downed the bot enemies will extend tendrils from their stomach to finish you off
>>733334895>>733334919This shitposting has to stop
The artstyle is alright.The game sucks ass though it's just Destiny 2 trials+gambit with extra camping included.
>>733334997Sorry you had to experience people disagreeing with you anon, praying for your speedy recovery
>>733334528Is that how many people you think play Destiny 2 that died 2/3 years ago?
>>733335034Kek. No it isn't.
>>733335071How can I get paid to post in these threads. I'm dead serious.
>/v/tards claim to not care about game>/v/tards also seething uncontrollably until thread hits bump limitNever gets old
>>733335182get a WFH job that lets you slack off
>>733335109One of you shills said so earlier, the game did have around a million different players per day during Renegades and the twitter normies are already starting to seethe about it, better go run damage control there.>>733335163Yes it is, the game is dogshit and it won't really attract either the Arc or Tarkov players because it's a battle royale with extra steps.>>733335219You keep bumping these threads every time they reach page 10, it's not really a win.Nobody cares about Marathon unless they're literally paid to care.
>>733332989>hey check it out, another upcoming live service flop game nobody asked for>oh yeah, what were they thinking? Let's laugh at it>omg, why are those two CHUDS throwing a huge tantrum?!Get out.
>>733330770Class shooter: everyone is soldiers, some of them heal, shoot rockets, repair, support. Hero shooter: buttons that give you a cheap advantage like wall hacks, instant revives, speed hacks, etc.
>>733332132If guns were made partly of electronics and caseless ammo how else would they looks and be mass manufactured. They wouldnt really look like modern guns. Theyd come from a certain factory in the game world made by AI or robots, especially if the guns are made for cyborg robot interfaces.
