A non-gamer warehouse worker at my workplace was like>“my son is really excited about Marathon, i love seeing him excited about video games. I might buy Marathon for her”What is going on?!?
>>733634591haha you said my son and finished with for her implying transexuality So freaking hilarious!!
This is just reskinned apex…
concord 3
>>733634591This game looks no different from any other shooter I played in the last decade.
Bruhhhhh no cap frrrr Marathon goes crazy style ongggg lil blud was all "I wanna be a Marathon" today at at the throw, sheeeeesh shit's gonna get lit up
>>733634591Dood it's just like spiderman omg1!!!
>>733635080Except Apex while being dog shit slop is at least free. They're trying to charge +$40 for this slop. They'll pay a bunch of Twitchniggers to stream it and pretend like it's the greatest thing since sliced bread and this shit will still flop miserably. It's Bungie though, they at least have some pull where the game will probably have a support for at least a year or so unless the numbers are absolutely abysmal in which case, grand opening grand closing just like Highguard.
you know its bad when the webms the shills choose to show of their game look awful and boring
reminder that not only did they spend absurd amounts of money and time on this game but now they're also spending even more money on shill campaigns, basically doubling down on their mistake loving every laugh
I'm not gonna be buying it
>what if we took destiny's crucible one of the sweatiest shooters of all time and gave it griefing mechanics AND make you waste 30 minutes of your life per round
>>733634591yes we get it, you need advertisement moneywe get it that the game is coming out soon, but I aint gonna buy it
>>733634591That's just Destiny. Also why just make shit up?
>ITS ANOTHER FUCKING EXTRACTION SHOOTER''The vibes are crazy''''the artstyle really won me over''''im having a blast''
>>733634591What's going on is you stupid marketers are doing damage control because you know the game will fail and it's the only way you can cope. You know this because you try this shitty thread every day. It's over. You should be sorry spending this time working on your resume
>>733634591Everyone I talked to has said this is the best game they ever played. Yeah I think Bungie is cooking something here...

>>733634591>>733641793
Man you can't get a single honest opinion around these parts anymore. GG fucking salted the earth now all we got is pretend retards and real retards
>>733642136I REALLY wish it wasn't a pvp extraction shooter. That's my opinion. Way back when I heard Marathon was coming back and I was really excited for about 15 seconds until I read it was an extraction shooter, and I immediately lost every single drop of interest I had.
I swear bungie workers are shilling this game on this board
>>733638806lord shaxx saying “i love you” when you’re on a streak is hilarious
>>733634591Reminds me of The FinalsShame about The Finals...
I already preordered. cannot wait
All trannies will be in camps or ash trays by 2030.
>>733642136it's kinda funny seeing all the low iq tortanics falling for the midwit tortanics tho
>>733642136here's my honest opinion: GAAS games are pure cancer and are choking the life out of the industry. suits look at how much money fortnite made and decide to go all in on f2p live service slop with no immediate return on investment putting hundreds of thousands of dveloper jobs at risk for a slight chance at becoming the next money machine. Marathon is such a clear example of a bunch of suits looking at what IP they had and reviving what was once an interesting if dated FPS with some genuinely good lore and stretching it around yet another GAAS shooter corpse. shit like this and concord deserve to fail to prove that this cynical cashgrab doesn't work, but in doing so it burns the cash and manhours of everyone who worked on it. theres no stability for devs to actually produce something decent with a guarenteed return, just execs gambling all their money and staff away out of pure greed.
>>733634591Hermen, pls
>>733638586be careful bungie might steal your work
>>733642317>I REALLY wish it wasn't a pvp extraction shooter.I agree. Personally I'm a fan of all things cyberpunk and gritty hard sci-fi so I really liked the setting and the art direction of the game. I'm going to try the game during "server slam" but I just know I'm not going to last long because extraction shooters aren't my thing. Too much inventory management, too many sweaty dogs who only play that type of game to shit on the whole lobby. I don't think the genre is conducive to the storytelling they are aiming for.>>733642738>GAAS games are pure cancer and are choking the life out of the industry.Agreed, but everyone can see the payoff is huge so they are never going to give it up until customers grow tired of it, and it's already started.>shit like this and concord deserve to fail to prove that this cynical cashgrab doesn't work, but in doing so it burns the cash and manhours of everyone who worked on it.I don't think Marathon is anything like concord or a cashgrab, but there's still a lack of attention to detail and effort in a lot of the areas of the game, maybe it's the developers' inexperience with extraction shooters or maybe they had to can a lot of the good ideas due to time constraints especially considering everything got set on fire after the first alpha and they've been busting their asses trying to make it work to keep their jobs ever since. Maybe one day we'll get to hear the story from devs.
>>733634591That's a whole lot of no shootan
>>733635080>reskinned apexNo, that's Highguard
>>733634591every marathon gameplay video looks like im watching someone playing destiny with an AI filter on
>>733643967neither of these games are battle royales
>>733640845Roboquest is great, I know a lot of people are enjoying deadzone rogue but Roboquest will always be peak in the boomershooter roguelite genre to me
>>733634591>my son is really excited about Marathon, i love seeing him excited about video games. I might buy Marathon for her
>>733634591I'm bored of multiplayer shooters, but this game is going to make gigadimes and the seething on /v/ is going to be legendary.
>>733642136Coming from overwatch, this game looks like a good extraction shooter to me. The only game like it I've played was apex, so I'm a total noob to the genre. So far I'm already halfway to buying it based off vibes and the boxes it ticks off: Interesting abilities on top of snappy gunplay, nice graphics and unique artsyle, competitive, solo queue, good audio design, pay to play.Will have to wait and see regarding matchmaking and balance. The movement also looks a bit clunky to me but it might just take a bit getting used to. The only major concern for me is bungie's track record, but hey, if I can get a few months of fun out of 40 bucks, I'll take it.
>>733634591come on maratroon you can do better than that, are they not paying you enough to make threads here? did they yell at you for saying something you shouldn't have?

WTF OP!!!! This just convinced me to purchase Marathon™ the upcoming first-person shooter video game developed and published by Bungie!I am currently entering my credit card information into the purchase form on my Steam™ account! I cannot wait to be a Marathoner! I am also joining the Discord channel to discuss the upcoming video game with my fellow Marathoner fans!
>>733645245Looks like a good time for 40 eur. Can always refund during free week. Makes tortanic niggers seethe.

>>733644345>>733644713>>733645358whatever happened to subtlety? back in my day shills tried to not be obvious.
There's absolutely nothing about this game that's appealing. Who is it even for?
>>733645462Certainly not for you it seems, why bother?
>>733645490>Someone posted in my thread and now I'm mad, how could this happen to me?Where the fuck do you think you are?

>>733645552>>733645601have you started applying to other jobs, seeing how Bungie won't be around much longer?

>>733645767it's impossible to tell the difference. you both speak like corporate shills. when I first entered the thread I had some hope that you were being ironic as well but I guess you're not. so do you have a new job lined up after the impending massive Bungie layoffs or not?

>>733642317When the game flops and someone at bungie has a meltdown like that Highguard dev did and starts blaming everybody but the devs, I hope this post is screen capped and shown. When they say "the Internet hate machine did this, our game is great you guys just get off on watching games fail", I want to see them respond to this post, because it's exactly how I feel too. I really wanted another Marathon game, but this isn't it.

>>733643967this desu, the actually shit part about highguard was that it was 90% those gunfights you have in a field in apex. too much poking.Marathon still has poking but there's ways to get in or disengage and the point is rarely having a fight so you can try to fuck off if you're tired of trading shots behind a rock
Holy shit, a Marathon just flew over my house!

>>733634591>>733645371What's worse is the washed out look and fog everywhere. It clashes with the sleek and colorful look they tried to go for. It's such an insanely ugly game, especially when compared to Bungie's previous work, that I'm baffled something like this could exist and be considered one of Sony's flagship title.

Well OP i think you are based and redpilled and doing the right thing by ignoring the haters. I've tried the game and let me say, first of all, i had a lot of fun, a blast even and i know all of /V/ will want to play the game in the server slam!
>>733647495It makes sense when you remember they stole the design language of someone else and the atmosphere is just destiny's copy pasted in. Its like when people put minecraft steve in left 4 dead.

>>733649224we seriously need an internet without indians asap
hot take:i feel the success of Arc Raigers will help Marathon as it popularized the genre of extraction shooters. gamers know what they are getting. some with Marval Rivals gamers knew they were getting Overwatch with Marvel characters. on the other hand you have vague promises by games like Highguard which is neither Overwatch, nor apex or valorant. even though it looked like all those games.

>>733636271Wait this shit isn't free? roflmao
>>733649419>i feel the success of Arc Raigers will help Marathon as it popularized the genre of extraction shooters.Agreed, I've been saying this in these threads but Marajeet being delayed and AR having the success it did was the literal best case scenario for Bungie, and it probably still won't be enough. Especially after the aggression-based queue thing rubbed a lot of people the wrong way and there is a large portion of the AR community looking for more pvp engagements with better progression options which Marathon will deliver to them. I still don't think it will have great retention but we'll need to wait and see what changed Bungie are willing to budge on to make it more casual friendly. Either way I hope it bombs and Bungie gets completely btfo by Sony, fuck that dogshit studio
>>733644205this is a hell of a way to find out franken fran got a sequel
>>733640845unironically looks fun, I'm going to check it
>>733647017>>733649743no one replied here because your slop wasn't funny, it didn't require a separate thread you faggot
>>733634591You forgot the part where the warehouse building stood up and clapped its asscheeks while an angry old white man slammed his fist on the checkout line and yelled "NIGGER!"
>>733644345There is actually one more thing that bugs me and it's the anticheat. It's battleye, windows only and has kernel level access. I'll still play, but a bit annoying that I have to use my windows partition for it since I mostly play on linux.
>>733649801that's not me dumbfuck
>>733649419Arc Raiders doesn't really play like other extraction shooters out there. Once people get jump scared by a one tap headshot in first person view, they're going back to the more friendly and relaxed AR experience which has a pretty big focus on PvE. People seeking more PvP engagements already have EFT, Hunt Showdown, Arena, and so on.Best case scenario is Bungie will try everything in their power to keep Marathon alive no matter what, and eventually make a shit ton of changes and additions that will make more players try out their game in the future. As it stands, I don't see them having neither a long player retention nor a successful launch that a AAA publisher requires.

>>733652330Yes, it is.Yes, it does.
why are normies gonna stick with this over continuing to play arc raiders? i understand the paid marketing week when all their favorite streamers are playing might get a few of them to buy it, but why would they switch games in the long run?normies fucking love arc raiders and when it came out it filled a niche for a market that wasn't be served well, the extraction shooters kids were playing weren't exactly modern. so given that the market is being properly served now, and given bungies history and the history of this game specifically having such troubled development, why on earth do you think its going to have staying power?

>>733653207It's the only outdoors map I've seen, and the one they showed the most by far. Post more.
>>733652919A dei hire stole from a tranny kek.
>>733653078The whole fucking game looks like place holders. Why would you need to steal something like that? Even if you REALLY liked that decal, it would take seconds to make an original that looks almost the same but legally distinct.Furthermore, if it ACTUALLY was a placeholder, it shouldn't have been shown in official marketing material. This is remedial fucking stuff here.
>>733652448>>733652448This is less than I expected but a pleasant surprise nonetheless, it is however confirmation that marketing is not doing a good job.
>>733652094It's already back down to 71, shill-kun.
>>733652138It's the last few days before the playtest where the marketing spin won't be able to work anymore, and things are getting desperate.
>>733653471Because it was not a placeholder and they thought they could get away with it lmaoalso the whole game was probably made in a couple of months by the looks of it
I'm calling it. If this thing isn't hovering in the 20s by next Saturday, it's getting less than 70k players on launch day, and if it goes up on the weekend, it'll only be marginally, because I don't expect word of mouth to be good.I feel like I'm being overly cautious, but I can't write off the low info casual who learns from a TV on launch day that Bungie released something and auto-buys because Bungie.
>>733649191>it looks fineThat is exactly the problem. Plays like a million other games with hero abilities and that floaty console no recoil gunplay. I'm not going to spend 40 bucks on>it looks fineI need it to be at a minimum it looks GOOD and interesting. Concord looked fine too, guess what happened to that game?
>>733653608darn now ill never get paidalso just wait till the server slam then check those numbers
>>733634591Why would I play this slop when there's a hundred untranslated RPGs on the PC-Engine waiting for me?
>>733649419>Comparing Marathon, niche game with a polarizing artstyle to a globally known brand, Marvel, with a trillion dollar of sales behind it.What the fuck is this retarded logic?
>>733653393Perimeter gameplay. Shows off the dynamic weather and overall improved outdoor visuals pretty wellhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ToVHiqE_S5kB-roll footage of Outpost, this map is usually pretty stormy, sometimes light snow.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsnFy1Caxbk
>>733653871You know that Veilguard hit #1 in the preorder charts and was a flop so bad that EA fired all of Bioware's writers and it also killed the Dragon Age franchise, right? Successful games don't pop into the top ten for a day or two, they're in the top 10 for weeks and weeks. Marathon barely leaves the 100 spot.
>>733653927More importantly, Marvel Rivals is beautiful.The Marvel name didn't save Marvel's Avengers at time that was closer to the MCU's peak.
>>733649419Every time you retards say this I will remind you the exact OPPOSITE happened. Bungie pissing everyone off is what got Arc Raiders on everyone's radar
>>733654004This is literally 1 minute into the first video. Are you just taking the piss?
>>733654283>The most fun part of any looter shooter is the loot>Have guns that look like something my 2 year nephew would make with his lego boxWhat the fuck are these guys thinking?
>>733654237Arc and Marathon were supposed to launch at the same time, but since Marathon got delayed because of the scandal, Arc went out alone and people found out it wasn't shit, and it just got bigger from there. I guess you could say that Marathon helped market it, which is really ironic considering how much the shills try to insult Arc whenever they can.
>>733654004>>733654283Again, here's more of that foggy or washed out look. You shills need to get glasses if you think this looks good.
>>733654283Did you skip past the words "dynamic weather"?Throughout the run you see the weather change from medium fog, to thick Silent-Hill-tier fog bank, to clear sunny day, to partly cloudy, to a rainstorm
>>733654462More.
>>733654059ok so even if it were number 1 in preorders it wouldnt matter? then whatever either way i guess lol
>>733648092ayo I'd love to she/her titties
They released Concord 2, Dustborn 2, and Concord 3 over the course of a month?!Who said that dev cycles were slow!
>>733654516The game looks like it has a grey filter on the entire time, even indoors. Literally every other game in this genre looks better than this, even ABI which looks pretty generic.
>>733654283>>733654462>>733654523WOKEathon
>>733654610seems like you cant read>Successful games don't pop into the top ten for a day or two>Successful games don't pop into the top ten for a day or two>they're in the top 10 for weeks and weeks.>they're in the top 10 for weeks and weeks.
>>733654462>>733654523the organic earthy areas are not really the major focus, those areas act as bridges to the more industrial areas where all the loot is. This is like taking a screenshot near where you start in arc raiders and saying WTF THE WHOLE GAME LOOKS LIKE THIS????it doesnt really lmao, lastly, selective screenshots in a near infinite pathway multiplayer game will always be much harder to take than carefully curated set piece/linear pathway games.
>>733638671Concord 4.Hyenas, Highguard, this >>733642136Here's a real opinion: it sucks. Go play ut99 or q3a, they're free.
>>733654749We're waiting for the server slam on the 26th of February before preordering.
>>733642136>Game series is entirely single player >"Revive" (exploit IP) series 30 years later copying a FOTM trend in an already-saturated marker>Fail horriblyCan't say we didn't see it coming.
>>733652094Truly lightning in a bottle.
Surprised shills weren't quick to post this. https://www.bungie.net/7/en/News/Article/marathonsecurity
>>733654771>the organic earthy areas are not really the major focus, those areas act as bridges to the more industrial areas where all the loot isOkay? The punchline here is that one screenshot from Arc looks better than anything I've ever seen of Marathon. What point are you trying to make here. I can clearly see shit in the distance and up close, but Marathon has a constant misty as fuck look to it consistently.
>>733642528It was enough of a success for then to do arc raidersShame about arc raiders...
does this game have anything to do with the original marathon beyond the name?
>>733655059See>>733652448
>>733655059Both are set in a sci fi future
>>733634591The funnies part is that right before Bungie was found to have stolen assets from a trans Twitter artist that the game dev follows on Twitter, there were constantly 8 simultaneous Marathon threads on /v/. Then the lolcow shitstorm happened and all the Marathon threads vanished. They seem to have returned, but their tone is almost sarcastic. It's so weird.Anyway, never forget that Marathon's entire visual identity, which is the *only* thing it has going for it, was quite literally stolen, as in copy and pasted, from a trans Twitter artist that the art director for Marathon follows on Twitter.Bungie quite literally just turned the paid shill machine back on now that the heat for copypasting a Twitter tranny's art as the ENTIRE identity of Marathon has died down.
>>733654749Diablo 4 LITERALLY had this trajectory. People largely said they didnt care for it upon its reveals, then after their final server test, sentiment completely reversed, preorders flooded in like mad (not the top 10 for weeks and weeks like you said) then it did very well upon release all that being said, of course there just arent many examples of this specific scenario to begin with, this idea of a large production revealing to mediocre reception, then doing a final test addressing feedback, preorders and public sentiment 180's and then we see how they do on the game actually release. all of those factors even without considering if they were successful in the end or not, are extremely rare to begin with. diablo 4 did it, also arc did it. arc's playtests were received VERY averagely right up until the last one, then sentiment completely shot-up and people loved it. all the sudden. I personally believe this is happening in real time with marathon and the last test here in like 3 days will confirm it.
>>733655026>stays up to date and more informed about a game he hates than the ""shills""Lmao
>>733634671fpbpop kys
>>733645187I actually didn't mind the play tests, but I don't see it having much staying power.
>>733655168>also arc did it. arc's playtests were received VERY averagely right up until the last oneNot at all TT2 people were already hype about Arc and couldn't wait until the next playtest.
>>733655036even with a cherry picked blurry in motion screenshot, that area looks fine to me. high saturation mirrors edge duotone style stuff, not sure what the problem is. I can very easily read that he is slightly elevated, in a sort of shipping/cargo bay area, and I can see where the exits are. What am I supposed to be upset at here?
>>733655146It's a different creative director from that time
>>733634591>FPS game with grappling hook>Gives you an indicator on your HUD and autolocks you onto the target.Fucking why? Ultrakill did it perfectly, why can't AAA studios?
>>733655146rogue employee did it, they got let go, original artist was made whole and their art was removed + never defined the style to begin with. gonna cry about it for the next year?
>>733649224you're wasting your time in this shithole anon
>>733655146NEVER 5GET THE TWITTER TRANNY ARTISTTHE XITTER TRANNY ARTIST IS A VICTIM AND SHOULD BE COMPENSATEDTHIS IS LITERALLY WORSE THAN 9/11
>yet another friendslop 3v3pass
>>733651405>check trend stats>all negative>obvious botting on open forums>lots of clearly fake shit like "omg got a free copy from community">zero engagement with articles on the game>90% of searches are for gameplay videos>new resident evil is top 3 global>marathon isnt even top 50lol guess the "retarded normies" aint so retarded huh. there is no market for this, its way to late to the extraction slop trend and is using the tranny art style thats been rejected every single time.
>>733655326Sure, technically I can still see well enough if I squint my eyes too, but why would I ever do that in the first place? Why not make visuals as crisp as possible in a competitive shooter?
>>733655353>>733655410>>733655449This is evidence that the paid shills are here. What a weak reply. Remember when everyone was clowning on Marathon and said it was over? And then that's also when the round the clock concurrent ~8 Marathon threads also died, mysteriously. And now that it's about to have a free weekend or something, the shills started back up. You are paid shills. Also, the artist probably didn't get anything. Bungie has a bad habit of stealing art and not paying the creator. They did it twice during Destiny 2. It cannot be understated - Marathon's ENTIRE identity was stolen from a Twitter tranny that the creative director of Marathon follows on Twitter.
>>733634591Something about marathon just looks like absolute dog shit. I don't know what.
game looks like shit
>>733655449You snooze you lose haha based bungie
such a gay fucking thread
>>733655613>FACT: IF YOU REPLY TO MY RETARDED POSTS, THAT IS HARD CONFIRMED EVIDENCE THAT YOU ARE A PAID SHILL. I AM VERY SMART.
>>733655410>rogue employeeThe art director was following the person whose art was stolen and he's been let go since then lmao. Also this is the 5th time bungie has been caught doing this in like 5 years.
>>733643967Highguard isn't a br, doesn't have much sliding, and the guns don't have nerf-gun level bullet velocity/drop.
>>733655324not at all the reception I saw for arc, I was in every playtest and active in discussion about it. Up until the very last playtest, general reception was the game was okayish, but time between engagements was way too long, too few players and arcs per instance which would both be upped the more the game developed, also arc ai behavior was somewhat limited originally, they ended up becoming much more sophisticated as the game developed. They also diversified arc encounters by adding like 4 new types. The initial reception was very average from what I saw. People only became interested really once the game became very tightened up, which only happened in its last test to be honest.
>>733635080Apex needs to be reskinned. it looks like shit.
>>733655654they don't understand how to make the game look like the trailers so they just add retarded fog everywhere
>>733655743yes, the situation was literally dealt with. the guy was let go and the original artist was made whole. you can google any large developer and find a plagiarism scandal, and if you dont see one, that just means they hid it better.
>>733634591I want 22 seconds of my life back. Your clip shows nothing of interest
>>733655842Doing it on an average of once per fucking year and just recently get caught using ai for character design in destiny 2 is a pattern. How many more times does bungie need to do this before you figure out its a problem
>>733655168Diablo 4 was never at risk of being a bomb you disingenuous retard
>>733655765Apex is total slop. And looks like total shit.https://www.cbr.com/apex-legends-lgbtqia-representation/
>>733655958>caught using ai for character designkek luddite tranny
>>733655731No, shill. If you are a shill and you reply to my posts, you are a shill. The ONLY thing that ANYONE knows Marathon for is its visual identity, which was stolen wholesale from a tranny on Twitter that the creative director of Marathon follows.
I have personally prevented one sale from this game when my coworker told me he was about to pre-order it and asked for my thoughts and I told him it was shit don't do it and he changed his mind. I prevented Bungie from getting $40.>inb4 a shill does the old no u and lies about how he got someone to buy the gamepredictable shill fucks
>>733656092You're looping saar
>>733656043i didn't need a gay little article to sway my opinion? i already agree with you?
>>733655761>not at all the reception I saw for arc, I was in every playtest and active in discussion about itnot even the numbers agree with your bullshit which you can check right now. tt2 only saw it go up because people were genuinely liking what they were playing, even then. then the last play test / server slam had nearly 200k people. because people were already hyped from TT2. thats not people only becoming interested at the last playtest, they were already interested from TT2 and that was months of hype leading to nearly 200k people trying the server slam on day one.
>>733654523If this isn't some anon turning down his individual settings to make the game look bad, numarathon looks worse than I thought.
>>733656059
Bungie screwed over the Marathon fanbase by copying a tranny Twitter artist without even asking for permission or paying them like they said they would in January 2026 and does not deserve your financial support for these gross consumer-unfriendly practices.
>>733655059Yes it has a very strong connection. takes place 100 years or something after the original. game takes place on a colony below where the Marathon was shipwrecked, bunch of shit fell to the planet and corps are sending runners (people who upload their consciousness to shells, disposable bodies) to retrieve assets, take unclaimed shit, and find out what happened to the colonists that disappeared for both curiosity reasons, altruistic reasons, profit driven reasons, even chaos driven for one of the factions. The colony also seems to be overtaken by both rogue uesc robots, those are the robots you see people fighting, plus you are also fighting other runners competing for all those earlier mentioned things. In the trailer we see a lone S'pht wandering the halls of the colony on tau ceti. I believe we also hear durandals voice in one of the short films. Hard to say how much it will directly tie into the events of the original trilogy, but at the very least it absolutely has connections
>>733656149You showed them
Bro is in 2+ threads at the same time repeating his same anti-shill talking points ad-nauseum, typing up a stormReally sad desu
>>733656175The anon is correct. Apex is total dei sloppa.It looks like poo too and is total casual garbage.
The trans community will boycott this game for using AI and stealing art. Bungie is so cooked lol
>>733655059In terms of actual gameplay? Not really. You're not in the actual Marathon ship or any of the locations from the original games. The only connection is drip fed lore text files you can read while running around. None of the enemies are the same, either.
niggers still having a mental breakdown because a game has lime green in it?
>>733656149Good. No one should buy this piece of shit whose ENTIRE identity was stolen from a tranny that the creative director follows on Twitter. The ENTIRE game quite literally should belong to that tranny. And the game looks like shit anyway. It's just reskinned Destiny, but even slower this time. Destiny 2 had to basically relaunch itself because it was slow and a piece of shit. That seems like the route that Marathon is destined (heh) to take as well. >>733656170All shills do is loop, man. You have your disseminated talking points and that's it. The internet moves fast so people seem to have forgotten that Bungie copy and pasted a tranny from Twitter's entire art style as the foundational identity of Marathon.
>>733634591>a random retard decides to make a present for his clueless kid>the vibe is shiftingOP is retarded
>>733656268
>>733656375>>733655146loop
The plagiarism thing would have been forgotten about in two hours if people were actually looking forward to the game, and only ten people on the internet would still remember today. If it turned out that some sticker on a fridge in RE9 was actually stolen from some artist on twitter, what percentage of the discussion do you think that would take up?The only reason it blew up was because it was an excuse to mock the game. Moral of the story: Have an appealing art style that people want to cheer for.
>>733656375>All shills do is loop, man.So you admit that you're a shill. Who is paying you?
>>733656358old news nobody cares lol

>OP's low effort obvious bait is still accumulating (You)s from jeetsGreat thread
>>733656375keep fighting the good fight sister!
>>733656375This game is a lies service game means it is built over time. The art will change the game will change everything will change overtime. You haters keep forgetting this game isn't a sprint........it's as Marathon.
>>733655168>muh Diablo 4Diablo is a 30 year old popular franchise and has its older games still getting played by lots of people, so it had a built in pool of potential customers. Marathon doesn't have anything like that.>public sentiment 180sThis has not happened with Marathon, no matter how much you lying shills try to pretend it has.>Arc also did itNope. Arc never went through an unwanted reveal and scandals and had bad PR for most of its, unlike nuMarathon. Sorry.
>>733650036TECHNOLOGY>>733648092>pronounsNo lol
>>733655557Even the Steam forums for it are openly shitting on the game in most threads. Maybe they aren't moderating it. Strange either way.
>>733656609>Steam forumsIndians and Russians farming steam points
>>733656531>This game is a lies service gameTrue. It's built on copypasted stolen art.
>>733656375astonishingly retarded
>>733656652But you can't exchange Steam points for anything except dumb emotes and profile shit, I thought? No monetary value and no ability to get games on Steam with them?
I understand people hating this game. I understand people being cautiously optimistic. But I don't buy into people being excited for it. I see people on the subreddit getting their girl friends to paint large paintings for the game or make them cakes with the logo on it I refuse to believe anyone is this excited for a game that hasn't had a sequel in like 30 years and the new game is nothing like those past games. It does not feel natural.
>>733656452>>733654398he is ironically the shill
>>733656092You’re spreading misinformation while calling other people shills which is rich. The stolen art was a decal. Let me remind you that the game was in alpha at the time, and also the artist was compensated “to their satisfaction”. The art style has been around since the 90s. To claim the entire art style was stolen is an outright lie. The entire thing was completely overblown by outrage farming YouTubers, I’m sure you parrot their opinions every chance you get though. I guess here on /v/ we don’t discuss vidya by their merits but rather discount actual good games because a tranny worked on it. I’m sorry but you culture warriors that ring your little bell anytime you see a black person or start whining on twitter because a single trans person exists in the gaming industry are 1000% more annoying than the blue haired lecturing bitches of the 2016 era. Not that any of this will get through to you idiots, because everyone that disagrees is a shill ofc. newfags genuinely believe anyone is paying to market on fucking shitchan in 2026 lmao.
>>733656937You thought correct, anon is retarded

You can't claim the >that style was already around!when you have 1 for 1 stolen assets from the artist.
>>733657121Are you in a relationship with the tranny artist or what? Holy shit who gives a FUCK
>>733657215The anti-shills have reverted to their factory settings as they have no other line of attack to operate with.Very sad.
>>733657215>>733657121I'm feeling kind of sleepy. Aren't you?*Yawwwn* Who cares about this argument anyways? I'm going to bed. Sleepy....
>>733657215>omg they didnt steal anything!>okay maybe they did but who cares!>okay you care but thats like not a big deal!lol
>>733657121Keep making the idiotic claim and cope when the game releases I guess. I don’t buy this act like you care about the artist or art anyway. God gave my last post trips and made you retarded. A reason for everything.
>>733657215It's an autistic Bungie hater from /dg/
>>733657384>>omg they didnt steal anything!nobody said thisthe problem is you claiming the "entire" game is stolen, trannylover
>>733657394>Keep making the idiotic claimIts not a "claim" despite you trying to present it as such. They settled with the artist, its a fact that they blatantly stole the art. Why do you cope and pretend it didnt happen?
>>733634591I wanted it to fail like concord and concord 2 but lets be real this is gonna be unc raider 2 and zoomers will eat another extraction slop.
YAWWWWWWWWWWWWNSLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPYYYYYYYYYYYYY
>no Linux supportIt looks like it could be vaguely fun but then again because it's an "extraction shooter" it will quickly devolve into faggotry and extract camping and exploiting the currently broken features.
>>733657384The shill talking points about it have been like this:>it was just (two decals)>it was a (rogue dei artist) that stole them who (was fired)>ok, it was more than that, but the original artist was (made whole)>it still looks (better than Arc)>it doesn't matter, stop being so obsessedAnything in () is a phrase I've seen the shills use in multiple threads, over and over.
>>733657693What if it had linux support?
>>733657000>You’re spreading misinformationI'm not though. I'm just telling the truth, because shills want to believe that people have forgotten about the shitstorm. >while calling other people shills which is richAnyone saying anything good about Marathon is a shill. >Let me remind you that the game was in alpha at the time, and also the artist was compensated “to their satisfaction”. That was part of the settlement, yes, they were ordered to make that Tweet. It is good that the artist was compensated, but there's not possible chance that it was enough or what xhe deserves. >The art style has been around since the 90s. To claim the entire art style was stolen is an outright lie.The creative director for Marathon follows xer on Twitter and quite literally copypasted multiple stolen assets from xer portfolio into Marathon, hoping that no one would notice and that the artist was too small to do anything. You can't say "hurr durr, the artstyle has been around forever" when it was quite literally copyasted from a tranny on Twitter than the creative director for Marathon follows.
>>733652297Yeah it was cool. Then they went hard into that one shit system for overpriced cosmetics while delivering basically nothing new or revolutionary in terms of characters.
>>733657753>positive sentiment cannot possibly exist, it must be fabricated.one day you’ll realize how retarded it is to just be bitter about everything
>>733642136I mostly lurk for a reason. I plan on trying Marathon during that stress test and making my own conclusions because there's so many retards, LARPers and the occasional unironic shill that the only info you can gleam from these threads is that Marathon is a video game.
>>733642136>Man you can't get a single honest opinion around these parts anymore.Marathon is the free roam mode of Destiny, except it has PvP enabled, and they reskinned it with art that they stole, wholesale, from a tranny on Twitter that the creative director follows.
>>733657215It's funny how much this singular issue hurts you and you so badly just want people to stop talking about it shill
>>733658520Consider this, I really genuinely actually Do Not Care
>>733658520You can tell that the shills weren't given planned orders on how to deal with people remembering that Bungie plagiarized Marathon's entire design from a tranny on Twitter than the creative director follows. Their replies are too weak. They're basically just saying "stop talking about that" and nothing else. I expect them to have a real response disseminated amongst them in the coming days.
>>733658761You not caring doesn't change that it happened
>>733657884uh oh shills won't like this
>>733658761>Do Not Care>autistically argues about it for hours across multiple threads
>>733658347Still pre-ordered, cope.
>already has a resident schizogame must be a success then lmao
>>733659116It really is the #1 indicator these daysFew things can mindbreak a modern /v/ user more than a successful video game
>i could buy a currentyear wokeslop corporate product for FORTY fucking dolars from a company that literally stolen shit from people, and lied about their product, and then get my money stolen when the servers inevitably go offline>or i could just play unreal tournament 2k4, for free, right now
>>733657884dilate tranny
>shill singular resorting to samefagging his own postskek and that's a sign this game is going to die
>>733658937It took them a long time to reply to it, so I think I might be causing their narrative to be restructured internally. Whoever runs the shill department is currently brainstorming how to reply to people who bring up the whole plagiarism debacle. The fact that the shills weren't instructed on how to reply to this really shows that Bungie is so far up their own asses that they genuinely thought that people would have forgotten about it by now.
>>733659116Marathon chads cant stop winning.Yo to my schizo bro posting about the stolen art constantly, never stop, never leave us please <3

Can anyone convince me to get this game? I like Halo & I'd play Destiny if there wasn't so much bullshit to it. I have no idea what an extraction shooter is, but from osmosis, it seems like it's PvE, until at one point in the match it isn't - and then you have to escape. Why would you escape rather than kill enemies? Is there a winner? I'm not really understanding the concept of it.The aesthetics are very cool.I don't usually play multiplayer games, but I installed Deadlock 2 weeks ago and I've spent 100 hours on it so far.>Headshot Doorman>Exploding sheep-launcher Bebop
>>733634591Cant wait to have a blast, bwos
>>733661196>pve until it's notIt's PvPvE immediately after you spawn>timeYou got 30 minutes per session to do your objectives, then leave as fast as possible.
>>733661196PvE in extraction shooters are a myth. They always devolve into PvP with PvE being meat fodder until you run into the next player.
>>733661196don't know how this one works specifically but usually the point of extraction games is that you keep the equipment you get in a match as long as you escape, if you die you lose itthe goal is to slowly get better stuff, and there's a roguelite-ish risk of "die and you start from zero">it seems like it's PvE, until at one point in the match it isn'tyou can kill anyone anytime to take their weapons and all that>Why would you escape rather than kill enemies?so you don't risk losing your shit by getting ganked by some giganigger with lv99 armor
>>733661374>You got 30 minutes per session to do your objectives, then leave as fast as possible.Ah, so it's more like a co-op PvE game with invaders or something? What do you get at the end of the match? What's the progression?
>>733635195Disagree. Visually it stands out, whether you like the style or not, and from what I see of the gameplay while there are similarities it doesn't look exactly like any game I've played before (though I have by no means played every game).

What are we predicting for playercount peak within first two weeks? Im thinking 400k based on pre orders
>>733634591it's selling point is its aesthetic, which matters a lot for pre-release hype (since you can't actually play the game yet). people hoping for this to be a concord/highguard situation are retarded because part of the reason those games had 0 pre release hype was because the look or both of those games was extremely generic and uninteresting.idk if marathon will be a success or even profitable, but thinking it will be a massive flop that gets delisted after a week is just delusional. destiny was dogshit but it still has fanboys, this game could hobble along with just their support alone even if nobody else cares
>>733659469Yes, as are the shills talking to each other here: >>733659116 >>733659262 >>733659508>>733661468There is no separate PVE. There are sometimes NPC robots you can kill, but the game is PVP first and other players are the primary threat.

Correct me if I'm wrong, as I don't play extraction shooters, but isn't this essentially:>Fortnite, but other players can start off with full loadouts from the get-go - but you can exit the game with your loot so you can be that full loadout player in a different match.

>>733662132>>733662230good morning sir
>>733662230Yes, Bungie stolen Marathon's entire visual identity from a tranny artist on Twitter that the creative director just so happens to follow. In some cases, artwork was literally copy and pasted. I'm glad we both agree.
>>733646526Both things can be true, like the extreme concentrated negative response that is clearly driven by the "It is fun to see things crash and burn" crowd has a tangible impact on general reception. It's definitely a bigger factor than OG Marathon players being disappointed with the genre shift, though secondhand Marathon lore enjoyers are probably more significant. I say that as someone who feels the same about extraction being a poor choice for lore delivery, I just don't think it's a major factor in the grand scheme of success vs failure.
>>733662315You are not convincing any one, cope.https://x.com/4nt1r34l/status/1923176362359103900?s=20Three decals.
Looks like uninspired garbage, Destiny with a worse art style
>>733662460Oh, did someone in the shill department think this was a good defense somehow? First you said it's 2 decals, now you're saying it's 3 decals, and it's even more than 3 decals. Look at the rest of the thread. Go back to whoever ordered you say this and tell them that they're retarded, because all you're doing is helping prove that Marathon plagiarized. >>733662601It's quite literally the free roam mode of Destiny, with PvP enabled, and with a reskinned artstyle that was stolen from a tranny artist on Twitter that the creative director of Marathon follows.
>>733662662I didn't say anything about two decals because i know it's three.Cope.https://x.com/4nt1r34l/status/1923176362359103900?s=20Take meds and try not to ACK yourself.
>>733662023The only fortnite thing about it is if you die you lose. There is no center to reach. You have objectives that could be unique to you or others are doing and when you are finished you extract from the map
>>733662023So how extraction shooters work is as follows>Drop into a PVE environment with nothing but basic gear>Find better gear and crafting materials as you explore and fight>Other players are also in the PVE area and you can choose to cooperate or kill one another as you can take whatever's on their corpse>To keep everything you gained you need to extract at a designated point on the map >Then you can craft new gear and use what you plucked for your next excursion to be able to fight stronger enemies for rarer loot but at risk of losing it by getting killed either by an NPC or a player stabbing you in the backIt's a simple loop but kind of dogshit if you don't have threats that make unsteady alliances more common, either you're in a hugbox to avoid PVP entirely or you're basically playing a roguelike Fortnite, neither of which is the emergent gameplay that this would generate on paper
>>733662035I wish this were like /pol/ where you could see the number of posts per user because I guarantee this faggot has made at least 100 posts just seething all day about the stolen tranny art
>>733662759>I didn't say anything about two decals because i know it's three.https://arch.b4k.dev/v/thread/733658839/#q733659808You did say it's 2 decals. You're not doing a very good job, anon. You're helping prove that Marathon's entire visual identity was plagiarized from a tranny on Twitter than the creative director follows, in several cases literally copy and pasting xer artwork straight into the game. You need to go tell your manager that this is a stupid tactic.
>>733662987NTA, but it's clear the plagiarism scandal is a huge sore point for the shills and they clearly have instructions on how to try to talk it down. I think the other anon is either having fun with them or is enough of an autist to just not let it lie. Probably the latter.I'm laughing either way.
>>733662987Hey man, we can both agree on that. I wish flags and thread IDs and IP counts were enabled on /v/. Unfortunately, the IP count was removed because it revealed that shill threads are just shills talking to themselves. And thread IDs would make that even more obvious. And flags would show you where these people are really from, so you'd have even more izzat spam than you already do.
>>733663041Meds.I'm the one saying it's three and posting the facts cope.https://x.com/4nt1r34l/status/1923176362359103900?s=20cope

>>733663085only one comparison shows plagiarism and i don't even know if it's legit, whereas the rest just show things that are very derivative... just like the artist's work in the first place
>>733663383>only one comparison shows plagiarismThere are several instances of clear plagiarism, but I've already posted all of my images so you'll just have to scroll up. I wish I had saved more images from the initial scandal, but I didn't think I'd be using them as ammunition to fight a new wave of shills who wanted people to forget that they plagiarized the ENTIRE visual identity of Marathon (which is the ONLY thing about it) from a tranny artist on Twitter that the creative director of Marathon just so happens to follow.
>>733663383>only one comparison shows plagiarism and i don't even know if it's legitI think it was however it has since been removed so to STILL be seething about it doesn't seem sane.
>>733651929Highguard
>>733663504Show us some in the current version of the game rather than shit from an early alpha that has long since been removed.
>>733663504you must understand that the tranny artist's visual identity is entirely "plagiarized" from artists who were probably working before the tranny artist was even borni like the style, so i'm not complaining
>>733642738>GAAS games are pure cancer and are choking the life out of the industry. suits look at how much money fortnite made and decide to go all in on f2p live service slop with no immediate return on investment putting hundreds of thousands of dveloper jobs at risk for a slight chance at becoming the next money machine.that's not an opinion, that's the obvious reality.
>>733642317the trailer is pretty cooli wish it was an insim or a single player extraction shooter with possible co-op like sulfur, one of my favorite games of last year isbut it doesnt make sense to make marathon an extraction shooter, why would anyone be interested in 400 year old tech sent by earth, not even another alien race?
>>733657884Hey just stopping by to repeat that the Loss thing was complete bullshit. Nobody's ever posted Antireal's piece that has Loss hidden in it somewhere, said screenshot just being a whiteboard doodle one of the artists threw in because, surprise, Loss is a meme that more people know of than just one random artist. Don't care about the rest of the conversation, just tired of constantly seeing that dumbass tweet as if it was some smoking gun when there was real, actual plagiarism that happened.
>>733663602>"the literal copypaste plagiarism got taken out of the game and passed through AI, so just shut up about it!"Is this the new shill angle? How were you guys not prepared to talk about this? >>733663661You might have a point... except that Bungie literally copy pasted the tranny artists work into Marathon, and it just so happens that the creative director follows xer. Seriously, any point you think you might be making instantly dies because Antireal's designs were quite literally copy and pasted into Marathon. Bungie *did* knowingly steal Marathon's entire design identity from a tranny artist on Twitter than the creative director follows. That happened, it's not even debatable.
>>733663661>Plagiarising future trannies before it was cool
>>733663810Yeah the stuff you are moaning about isn't in the game so why are you still bringing it up retard?
>>733634591i'm gonna Marathon this gaem
>>733663734>artist his "loss" in their work>they make a tweet about it at some point>a year later, marathon is found to have copy pasted several assets of the artist's work>they also find "loss">shill anon thinks these aren't related
>>733663871The schizo retard likes repeating himself constantly, must be some sort of downs syndrome tick
>>733663810ok, barneyfaghttps://www.are.na/evan-collins-1522646491/vectorheart-eqxlv27j7xo

>>733664081Anon, how did you learn about Loss?
>>733663383>I don't know if it's legitThere were a bunch of images going around last summer when it happened, and some videos too. Decals and designs and shit everywhere, on every level, and on a few of the NPCs and weapons, too. Remember, it was such a mess they stopped ALL marketing for the game for half a year and postponed the release. It was a big scandal.
>>733662982I've tried arc raiders but I don't get the appeal. Those games are basically the prisoner's dilemma. If you play friendly you're gonna get fucked in the ass and exploited permanently, there's no reason to not play like an asshole.
>>733664248>Remember, it was such a mess they stopped ALL marketing for the game for half a year and postponed the release.Yeah, and on their apology stream, they were originally supposed to show Marathon footage, but they couldn't because it was so rife with possible literal copy pastes, so they just apologized instead. The "people" here are paid shills though. They wont remember, because they're paid not to.
>>733664275That's the thing, zoomers love games where they're rewarded for being little assholes
>>733664081
>>733664351>They wont remember, because they're paid not to.I never even knew about any of this shit until this thread and the more you keep crying about it the less I give a fuck
>>733664248anon, are you responding multiple times to the same posts?
Why do funposting threads make these people seethe so much
>>733664424>I never even knew about any of this shit If you're in a Marathon thread in the first place, yes you did.
>>733664081is the tranny really claiming he invented this meme?
>>733663383There were only 3 things plagiarized, but they were used as decals, which means they were pasted in a LOT of places in game. Like the mandatory tutorial mission had a plagiarized decal (the Aleph Shipping one I think) pasted along some plastic handrails that you see within 90 seconds of loading in, so one instance of plagiarism repeated at least 15 times right at the start.The plagiarized stuff was also generally easy to not notice as plagiarized given it was fairly generic lettering and geometric design using stuff that looked possibly referential to Bungie shit - Aleph is a Hebrew letter and Aleph One was the dev/engine name for a port of the original Marathon that you can go play right now. Another one had a series of emblems with one being kind of close to the Destiny logo but abstracted a bit - it took the original artist to notice 'hey that's my fuckin work' and point it out, which thankfully got traction and hopefully resulted in at least a payout/credit to them.
>>733664359Thing about that though is that if you have a load of people permanently going around being an asshole to everyone else then most people get tired of their bullshit and stop playing and you are left with just the assholes playing your game. Then nobody else wants to play and if your game is banking on lots of people wanting to keep playing it then that is not how you do it. Though you can go too far the other way and have no fun allowed with every player interaction mandated to be toddler level and then nobody wants to play that fun sponge either.

>>733664543You are so fucking mentally ill it's insane. Are you being paid by the tranny artist to shill here or what? Who in their right mind would spend an ENTIRE day effortposting about this retarded shit? You've literally been doing this since I got on my computer at 8 this morning and it's almost 1 PM now. This is hardcore loser shit

>>733664627no he just put it in there as an easy way to catch out anyone who would lift his artwork without double-checking anything about it
>>733664949what?
>>733664627No, shill, the tranny is claiming that he hid the meme in his artwork just for fun, and it's yet another way to prove that Bungie copy pasted xer work into Marathon.
>>733634591Is it free?
>>733665053No however I think than the server slam this weekend is free entry so you can try it before you buy it.
>>733665053no

>>733665051but it's over
>>733665051Hey same poster as before just stopping by to say that again, this is completely retarded bullshit that Antireal never claimed and could be easily substantiated if true.
>>733634591That webm actually looks kinda cool. Gonna check it out for myself.
>>733664681I loved playing Aneurism IV last year and this exact thing is what killed it, now there's barely 50 players even still in that game at any given time. There's way too much incentive for people to fuck each other over and basically no incentive whatsoever to play normally.
>>733640845Everything draped in pride flag purple. It's just so... powerful.
>>733664731>You are so fucking mentally ill it's insane.No, I'm just tired of games being shilled on /v/. And this one has a big shitstorm surrounding it that the shills clearly don't like being reminded of and were not prepared to deal with. >Are you being paid by the tranny artist to shill here or what? Nope, I'm doing this for the love of the game. >You've literally been doing this since I got on my computer at 8 this morning and it's almost 1 PM now. That's not true. I've been doing this for about 3 hours. Your post claims that I've been doing this for 5 hours, which is not the case. So you're either hallucinating or someone else also remembers that Marathon's ENTIRE visual identity was stolen, wholesale, from a tranny artist on Twitter that Marathon's creative director follows, in several cases even literally copypasting xer designs into Marathon. The most daming part of this, to me, is that Marathon's creative director knowingly stole Antireal's portfolio as Marathon's entire visual identity, even going so far as to literally copypaste xer work into the game, and yet Bungie never once reached out to xer until they had already been caught red handed with their pants down. That's the most damning part of all this, imo.
>>733644345>>733644713sex with glitch!
>>733664681>>733665239People being assholes isn't itself a casual population killer, but tied together with the extraction shooter design of you being worse off than when you started if you get killed by assholes is what I imagine will kill it off.
>>733665417>That's the most damning part of all this, imo.Oh, and I guess another daming part is that this isn't Bungie's first rodeo either. It is very customary of them to steal artist's work. It's truly amazing that Antireal actually got paid this time, no matter how small it was. Usually Bungie says they pay the people they stole from, but then they don't.

>>733666049I have a feeling that long-term, solo matches and squad matches are gonna turn into pretty different experiences. In my time in the private tests, solo-queue felt really balanced and unpredictable. The AI is dangerous enough, even for 2 people, that teaming up is quite viable, but didn't feel like the go-to no brainer way to get contracts/loot fast, cause you could easily see the same level of success fully solo if you are just good/careful.But squad lobbies felt a little more sweaty, and generally more hostile, Only exceptions were when I was a rook and got randomly dropped into a squad match and a passing group spared me. I could see them maybe increasing AI hostility/lethality/density for squad matches to maybe offset this in the future.
