I don't understand how this game will be successful, I've seen the alpha gameplay and it plays exactly like call of duty warzone, there is no difference between this game and the gameplay in call of duty warzone. How is a game like this not supposed to fail if it has zero unique properties, please, someone explain to me in your opinion why you think this game will succeed and be able to keep 50,000 players playing consistently everyday.I just don't understand online video games anymore.
It has an organic fandom of cyberpunk enthusiasts and halo fans who yearn for the glory days.
>>733306324It is a very ugly game, I don't understand how people can like the artstyle.
trannoid color scheme and character design"gameplay" trailers that don't actually show any real gameplayhmm
>>733306324I told you to post another 4 cosplays.
>>733306407>I don't understand how people can like the artstyleIt's bold and different however for it to work they have to absolutely nail it for it not to just be a horrible mess. The environments especially could be better there. The characters are fine and I don't mind the look of the weapons personally.
>>733306324>cyberpunkIt does not look cyberpunk at all, it went way too far with its style. So in a way it did make it unique, but it passed the audience that would love that style.
>>733307031>It does not look cyberpunk at allIn terms of the genre it is very cyberpunk. It's not Cyberpunk 2077 though.
>>733306235Banking hard on the style over substance angle + Destiny paypiggies
>>733306965none of the guys are actually sci-fi either other than being ugly blocks
>>733306407>>733306235>i dont understand>i dont understand>i dont understandwhat do you understand, retard? if you understand anything, then maybe you should shut up.
>>733306235it won't be successful, you're looking at another wokeflop that'll limp along for a little while based on bungie's rep from 15 years ago and then not make enough in cosmetics and shit as projected and get put to pasture
>>733306235there is a free open preview next weekend so everyone can try it out we can stop making hot take whiny blah blah blah threads now
>>733306324>>733306235>cyberpunksneakerpunk shoecore enthusiasts like me love games that look exactly like this
>>733307175>shells with uploaded consciences>not sci-fi
>>733307223Next week is RE9. No one is play this slop
>>733307175They remind me a lot of literal Barbie dolls and Action Men or similar action figures but after they have been own by children so they've been abused, broken apart, painted funny colours, put back together. That part of it largely works I think, it's just the world they inhabit that could be painted better.
>>733307309>>733307405meant to type guns :)
>>733306235>I don't understand how this game will be successful- Bungie/Halo/Destiny/Marathon name recognition.- Distinct art style.It just needs to be a little good.
>>733307489I mean they look 3d-printed, which fits (?)but it'd be nice seeing more sci-fi/alien guns being dropped by higher NPC's or something>>733307405I agreeImagine zoomers with infinite respawns, having eternal wageshifts for corps and coping by customizing the shit out of their 'bodies'
>>733306324Ok the fact that it already has cosplay is making me nervous. /v/ you told me this game would flop, WHAT THE FUCK
>>733307962They made Halo 1 and 2 anon, the best selling games of all times, obviously their next game will have fans.
>>733306407consoom more realistic grimdark slop faggot
>>733306407i like it, genuinelyi dont like the kind of game it is at all tho
>>733307205Zoomers are in a constant state of confusion and bewilderment. All they ever say are "huh?" "what?" "how?" "I don't get it". That's their whole vocabulary.
>>733306965>The characters are fineI have to disagree. Only the female characters and the Rook look fine.
name a good fps extraction shooter i can play right now. the current options are fucking laughable
>>733306407I like the environments and props, but the enemy design is just too much for me.
>>733306235>what should our art style be?>Unreal Engine dummy assets
>>733308476What's wrong with the others?
>>733308476you dont like destroyer?
>>733308694>>733308696They have African facial features.
>>733308575the genre is completely flawed so it's not possible.
>>733308745They don't. Possibly "Triage" but you would need to get the callipers out to tell so I don't really see the problem.
>>733308793it's flawed because you suck dick at fps games and cant frag and die over and over?
>>733306235>I dont think it looks good>explain my opinion to meLol
>>733308793thats retarded as fuck, its just an fps with a tenseness to it from the looting stuff, what the hell is wrong with that conceptually? tarkov has good ideas and great atmosphere and great fps animations, but it has some terrible design decisions, unnecessary player masochism, negative quality of life, a shitty feeling unity player controller, and massive amounts of cheaters. those negatives dont have to be inherent to the genre
>>733308653These color schemes just give me a headache.>purple on teal on blackWhy. Cruelty Squad shit.
>>733308951huh, is it Vandal or Glitch now?
>>733309098The name of the class and the character's actual name might not be the same.
>Appealing design?>Nah just copy the work of some random artist >Add bright neon colours everywhereNever giving money to bungie, maybe they should research more black people hair. That will help sell their game
the desperation with the constant 24/7 shill threads is palpable. Bungie will be completely liquidated by 2027
>>733309081maybe it's intentional so you have to look at them, like hard to miss
>>733308951Why is triage a nigger?
>>733309081Boxy models look like they are from synthetik. Color scheme from cruelty squad. I should like this but I don't play GaaS-slop.
>>733309253They had to show off their new afro hair technology
>>733306324neon puke my beloved
>>733309236Yeah, but surely it’s possible to be eye catching without being an eye*sore*.Might be a roundabout way of making "high tier" weapons feel better though, in that you’ll be upgrading away from clashing shitboxes.
>>733309253Why not? The game is about them colonising a new world allegedly so they have all different types of people. Of the ones where you can see their head in the picture it looks like 2 European (male and female), 1 East Asian, 1 African, then 2 with helmets so you can't tell from just this and a robot.
>>733306324> inverted knees on a modeli hate zoomers
>>733306235Wait it costs money? Dropped
>>733309623Because 90% of extraction shooter players are white and you want them to feel represented and seen
>>733309756Well at least 2 of them are and either one or both of the ones with helmets may also be so what's you point?
I thought I heard a strange flopping noise when I woke up this morning. >>But Concord 3 isn't out until March 5?
>>733309847The numbers don't match. 90% of the characters should be white
>>733309968OK so we're dropping the asian chick are we?
ugly game. truly dogshit PvE experience and insta death pvp. cramped shit maps that funnel everyone through retarded choke points. nightmare shit UI design where every item is a plastic chip bag of various colors. healing extremely slow to encourage "tactics" or some shit but it really just results in the first person who takes damage losing with no chance to come back. $40 game with less maps than their primary competitor, Arc Gayders. All that and it's budget is so I flated that Destiny is literally on life support. Sony paid 3 BILLION for this fucking Trainwreckoh and I almost forgot, the art director had to fucking quit his job after being disgraced and caught in a massive plagiarism scandal.
>>733310140She can be the 10%, or you can make her white
>>733307962i dont feel so good...STOP THIS SARS
>>733306235>I don’t understand… I've seen the alpha gameplay and it plays exactly like call of duty warzoneYou’re right. You don’t understand anything at all.
>>733310264There is no particular reason why this game needs to be limited to a single ethnicity. They are androids/cyborgs on another world so they could look like anything. They could even go further and make them not even human, like a living vehicle or similar. As far as box ticking goes there are plenty of crackoids even then.
>>733310526hey nigger shill, stop shilling niggers. I don't know if they set the bot to "reddit faggot" mode by accident before setting you loose here
>>733310526Woah I can't believe you don't understand the value of representation. How do you expect someone to buy a game if they don't identify with the characters?
>>733310581>REEEEE muh futuristic space cyborg game on another planet needs to be cast like medieval Europe because it just does ok?!
>>733310661no, it just needs to not be hideous as fuck. they failed.
>>733306235personally i love the aesthetic and i think the FPS feel will be pretty damn good, because despite anything else Destiny 2 is probably the best there is at that, especially on console / controller. my criticisms or reservations are more about the genre, especially how Marathon looks to be doing it so far. It's a weird accident that seems really undeveloped and in kind of a dead end. Tarkov players all pine for resets because it's when the game is tense and exciting, scrounging for every bag of chips and box of matches like it's gold. after that the game is kind of pointless and boring. Arc - i'll be honest i don't really know. people treat it like PvE and just collect... stuff, to do, idk what? simple fetch quests and ranking up in a menu? Marathon seems in line with Arc Raiders but will probably be more of a PvP game because of the hero shooter aspects. It's design seems more like a BR, than extraction. you are still ranking up and handing in fluff items to a menu to rank up and... get stronger at PvP combat, which in turn leads to... well they have these higher level "raid" maps. you have to bring in strong equipment, there's apparently deeper PvE aspects going on, along with the tension of knowing everyone else is packing strong gear.I guess that will be the hook it lives and dies on, and given they've hardly showed anything of it, and there's only one of these maps at launch, yeah it seems like a huge gamble. you're trying to extract to get better gear to be more powerful, so you, do it again but now you can bully people with unbalanced loadouts, or risk it in the high level maps to... get even more unbalanced. i really don't know how appealing that is, but i think the baseline gameplay will feel pretty damn fun. just not sure how much legs that has as a live service and making money.
>>733310678That one isn't down to one of them being modelled like an African.
>>733310726actually it partly is, and if you weren't a nigger worshipping cuck you would see that
>>733306235>>733306324Show another female cosmetic that isn't total dogshit. This is the only character I've seen people care about... PROVE there is a reason to buy mtx.
I think it's going to succeed desu normies will probably eat it up since live service fps.
>>733310784Nah it might be a massive issue for your own personal autism but in general I don't see anyone but literally you even noticing it.
>>733310661Yes.
>>733310889people already fell off arc raiders, they aren't going to drop another $40 for the same shit but worse. Especially not after they try the open beta and see how fucking miserable it is to play
>>733310886
>>733310889Oh yeah that worked for Conc-- uhhh I mean Lawbre--- oh wait... uh Highgua--- damn crazy huh?...
>>733310963I feel liek normies will eat shit anyways but we'll see if it flops or not.
>>733306407i like it other than the massive decals everywhere. if the decals were smaller it'd look a lot sleeker
>>733310998>Literally no ass or boobstry again. She is pretty though. But if the game is 40$ + Mtx then there better be some fucking cleavage.
>>733310963>people already fell off arc raidersI'm not playing Arc but I feel like this is wrong
>>733310998THIS NEW APEX SKIN IS BUSSIN MY FELLOW HUMAN GAMERS MAKE SURE TO PREORDER THE DELUXE GAY EDITION
>>733311143How did it get popular in the first place? The free trial was assballs. Loot/loot/loot while shooting stationary drones!!!! Woahh 40$ pls
>>733311002>>733310963some normies i know still are playing arc raiders, what makes it different from concord and lawbreakers andthe other ones that failed? not as hideous characters?
>>733311326it got popular because very few games have proximity chat anymore and people had fun interacting with each other. enter: Marathon. The extraction shooter with shitty combat, no prox chat, and no solo play
>>733311385If you’re gonna run counter-shill ops you at least gotta keep up with the newsMarathon has both solo queue and prox chat
>>733311385there's prox chat and Rook was made for solo runs
>>733311558>>733311564well that's nice they bent the knee. shame about how poorly balanced the game is. barely works as a trio game so I'm sure solos will make people actually kill themselves irl
>>733312029Whats poorly balanced about itExplainAnd don't say "invis in an extraction shooter!!!" cause half of the other classes directly counter it
>>733312276the TTK is too fast and the healing is too slow. the maps are tiny cramped hallways that funnel everyone into 3 choke points. the loot is unclear at a glance. I'm not going to list every single aspect of the game and what is wrong with it. play the beta and see for yourself.
>>733312476>play the beta and see for yourself.Played the October test for around 60 hours>TTK is too fastOnly really noticeable when you have no shields at all, TTK jumps way up when both parties have blue-or-better shields and are using their consumables properly>healing is too slowIts been changed since the December test so its no longer "long healing animation then sudden burst of health/shield" and is instead "short animation, heal-over-time afterwards". But either way slow healing is good. Its annoying and frustrating for you to get the jump on someone, or play an engagement well, but then they get to reset everything since they dipped for 3 seconds and healed it away. Slow healing makes taking damage more meaningful.>the maps are tiny cramped hallways that funnel everyone into 3 choke pointsThis really only applies to Perimeter and only for the chokepoints part. Interiors are cramped yes, and its an intentional atmospheric decision. If anything I feel the exteriors of Perimeter and Dire Marsh are a little too wide open in some spots. Outpost in particular though is clearly mimicking the labyrinthian and claustrophobic interiors of the original games.>the loot is unclear at a glancePartially just an aspect of learning the game. But has also seen subtle improvements that do help (Better icons to differentiate, better tooltips)
>>733306235What is the difference between any FPS game?
>>733306407https://youtu.be/hWwXSb7dlnQ?si=ztcTlrKOPLPh-VKrCope.
>>733313443>Only really noticeable when you have no shields at allnot it's not. Time to drain a purple shield is less than 2 seconds and time to heal it is more than 15 nowCombat is nothing more than first-to-fire coinflips or deleting someone who is ass up mid lootingI also played the last beta. >Partially just an aspect of learning the gamewhile I agree with this sentiment I think the game fails to make loot readable from both gameplay and UI. Everything is different colored bags of chips. Nothing stands out for the function it serves. And yet it's completely bloated the item pool with a bunch of shitty temp buffs that nobody will ever use because again, you die too quickly for any of it to matterAlso, the PvE is fucking cheeks. Worst PvE in the genre.
>>733306235>I just don't understand online video games anymore.me too like wtf. Do people seriously have nothing else better to play??? Why is online multiplayer games so fucking gay and weird today??
>>733306407it makes me want to puke
>>733308653I've read in another thread that marathon will succeed because Bungie know how to make good shooting mechanicsmeanwhile the guns look like some guy just searched "blender tutorial" and did them in 2 hours
>>733319904Arc is popular and it has actual tranny shit.
>>733306324>fans who yearn for the glory days.they are going to be very disappointed
It's trying to market itself at those who play Tarkov, Destiny or Overwatch.All 3 of those want to just play that game, not some mix of the one they play plus the two they don't want to play.
>>733320918damn PC gamers really have dogshit taste huh
>>733323468What games do consoles have?
the only thing that irritates me about this game is the massive astroturfing they’re engaging in on plebbit and xitter, like it’s not my type of game so I don’t care about it but the super obvious script for shilling gets so fucking annoying
>>733323658>Bungie gunplay good!>Wow they’ve really turned it around>I’ve played the alpha and it’s so awesome guys they fixed EVERYTHING>The art style is so good
>>733316861>Also, the PvE is fucking cheeks. Worst PvE in the genre.try tarkov lol.
>>733320918>less hardcore than Tarkov>Destiny-like lore>"hero shooter" you can custom depending on what you pick upany of this stuff barely counter-interacts the other two
>>733306324>Organic>Fans who yearn for the glory days.Ah yes. Vomitpunk untextured hero shooting Extraction game. Just like Bungie is famous for.
>>733323658its all organic bro ppl are really excited for this one!
>>733320172>ARC RAIDERS ARC RAIDERS ARC RAIDERS
>>733323593idk things that aren't just extraction shooter bullshit?
The aesthetic reminds me of mirrors edge
