Yeah...... sorry, I'm not feeling it
Can we at least give the game a chance before hating on it? This game being successful is very important for Sony.
I bet most people in this board would just accept this
>>733683132I’m teaching high schoolers, and all of them were talking about the upcoming Server Slam on Thursday. A few months ago, everyone was talking shit about Marathon, but now the vibe has completely shifted. The comeback needs to be studied.
I'm pretty sure the "journalist" are have a blast.
I work at a penal colony in Papua New Guinea, the usual tribal warfare in the garden has ceased completely over the past week. Instead the inmates have deep conversations about this cool new game, Marathon. They all seem to be having a blast.
>>733685367Chat… is this true? say it aint so cuh. YOU TOLD ME IT WOULD FLOP
>>733683421I've been rejected and exposed to female evil so much that I've come to resent women, I would just see through this shit, there's no way a woman would love me for real, let alone monster women offered in exchange of my loyalty to a retarded cause, if anything I would join the Kamen rider even if it just meant dying like a retard with a plastic mask, it's better than whatever the fuck the shocker fags are cooking.
>>733686108
Tourists are SEETHING at Marathon's upcoming success.
I would have played this game if it was free, not shelling 40 bucks for some shit that has been reworked twice.Honestly they should have just made and entire movie out of that cinematic trailer instead.
>>733683132>sorrySorry for what?
>>733686282>>733685367what is this weird ERP you faggots are doing
>>733686912for not feeling it
>>733686937Really good shitposting.
>its gonna be great bro>trustits literally just bots bumping bots and in 12 days time all the shilling will mysteriously stop.
>>733686912
>>733683132I just don't like looking at ugly things.
>>733686614Damn bro, are you me? I'm also blackpilled as fuck. I'm one of the most evil truecels ever, no cap. The Marathon Server Slam on Thursday will be a great opportunity to get revenge on women, in my opinion. How about we call it "The Day of Retribution"?
>>733683132I think the game has the potential to either be really good or an absolute abomination. We'll see when we get to play it.
>>733683132I dislike current day bungee but the game does look a lot better than it did last year. If I was a fan of the genre I would probably be a little excited
I got a call from my lawyer last tuesday, said he had a letter from my grandpa addressed to me. He died 20 years ago. Picked up the letter yesterday, it was an emotional letter about the future of video games and a particular game called Marathon that would release in two decades. He told me he would be having a blast playing it in heaven together with the angels. He also gave me a steamcode for the game so I would also be able to have a blast together with all my friends on 4chan, the internets' home of real gamers.
>>733686958maybe if you're indian
>>733687435I'm 100% nigga
>>733683132GTA6 levels of success coming blast-havers!
>$40uh oh
Where do I go to have genuine discussion about marathon
>>733688231/v/
I wouldn't play this game if it was free. Thats some genuine discussion.
>>733688231reddit or the discord, unironically, though it's more like a hugbox so don't actually try to criticize the game or they'll ban you
>>733688231/hg/ - Halo General
>>733683132nice that they're finally releasing marathon on windows, but it really doesn't look anything like how i remember it
They need to sell 1 million copies for this game to not be a flop, I have no idea will they manage that with the Concord allegations.
Marathon Epic Game Extraction PvPvE Loot Multiplayer Action
>>733688231Make a thread with an OP that is making a genuine effort to start one.
Marathon threads haven't felt as vitriolic the past couple of days, are most people already giving up on the Concord 3 thing and moving onto whatever the next game is
I don't know about you guys but everyone coming into my workplace, a morgue, is incredibly hyped for Marathon. I think it is because they feel represented.
Magathon
>>733688657Most of the things they were criticising it for fell flat and now they are left with "I dislike the colours" and "I don't much like extraction shooters" which doesn't really have any bite.
>>733688657It releases the same day as Pokopia and Slay the Spire 2.
>Bungie is going to be treating their automated anti-cheat as infallible>All bans will be considered immediate permanent with no recourse for the userEvery time a company does this you immediately start seeing false positives and the company has to go "oopsie woopsie we made a fucky wucky! A fucko boingo!" and walk it back. Whatever VAC version CS2 is running has schizo'd out multiple times and Valve has had to go back on their 'no undoing VAC bans' policy.IBM was right. AI should never be making administrative decisions.If Valve can't make trustworthy autonomous anti-cheat then nobody can. Every decision should be appealable by the user and the company should investigate it with an actual in-house team like how it used to be.But nowadays:>Get banned>Have to talk to either ChatGPT who will tell you to fuck off or an Indian who will tell you to fuck off in broken English, or both where if you bug chatGPT enough it summons an IndianGood luck but I'm not wasting my money.I hope people who are looking forward to it have fun though.
>>733688868I love AI and hurting trans people so I preordered Marathon
>>733683132I'm having a blast.
This game sucks!
>>733688564I was going to say 'the Steam forums' then I checked and they're almost 80% shitposts and dogging on the game.
I haven't made a single post about Marathon because the demo is coming out soon
>>733688761My MAGA friends are really hyped about Marathon because they’ve had enough of wokeness in gaming.
>>733688868hopefully it's just marketing speak. they're using battleye, which isn't run by ai as far as I'm aware.
>>733688231try Destiny General on /vg/
>>733688231the 1994 one? /vr/
>>733689065oh it's going to have a demo? that will help a lot with convincing my friendgroup not to buy it lol
>>733689337Battleye is fucking shit
>>733689612all anticheats are shit at this point
>>733686958it's not though
The market is really hungry for another zip lining bing wahoo fps. Apex plus Finals meets cans of paint? Yeah, I'm thinking this is the one everyone's been waiting for
>>733688921>art style entirely inspired by transexual twitter artistwhy are you supporting trans people?
>>733689124Will this be the first ever successful right wing game?
>>733683132Time-out on the shitposting. Bros… Marathon just overtook WWE 2K26 in the PSN store, thats legit impressive.
>>733690354Everyone creative is trans now. Everything is made by and for trannies
good news marathoners, the return to form is in progress
>>733683132>the only people paying attention to your game are destiny addicts(or former addicts since the game lost 90% of its players) who are hoping it fails and trolls hoping it fails
>>733690458It's 48 on the global list, you stooge. Stop lying.
>>733690492This is also impressive. Wasnt it 200+ before?
>>733690537No it was hovering around 80 before and went down to 55ish for a few days
>>733690458it's not even in top 100 in my cunt (I preordered)
>>733690572>it's not even in top 100 in my cuntdamn girl much stuff you got in your cunt?
>>733690537No, it's almost always stuck around 100 with occasional brief jumps into the mid-40s before falling back down. This close to launch, it should really be only in the top 25 and not falling lower.
Is Thief the most sexo shell?Kind of hate the bionic legs and all of the bio-mechanical stuff, but I guess that's kind of the marathon world, none of them are actually people?Has Bungie talked about customization / clothing / skins at all?
>>733690701She cute, but im more of a Glitch kinda guy.
>>733690701Maybe if you're a faggot into non-existent asses, yes.
Preorder10 copies then cancel 1 day before release
Last I check Marathon look like this, what happen
>>733690701I haven't seen anyone mention this before but Thief looks like Airie from Fortnite who is a literal nike collab skin.
>>733690742If they gave her an ass she would have it all and no one would pick anyone else
>>733690896Ok troon
>>733690823The updated everything to the modern equivilent of "near-ish future" so everything is made of plastic with excessive branding and iconography everywhere.
>>733690921Is she wrong though?
>>733690941Thief isn't even in the server slam
>>733690928Ok but like, no one talking about how it's not even look like the same universe?
>>733690967The Server Slam? What's that?
>>733691008Preorder Marathon today to find out
>>733691038But I don't even know if I like the game yet...
>>733691065It's a return to form from the creators of halo and destiny, it's your favorite game.
>>733690701Now post her ingame model retard
>>733690967>posts something completely irrelevant to the discussionGood on ya
>>733691095Anon, how are the shills supposed to tell you about the Server Slam(TM) if they don't awkwardly shoehorn it in to their posts?
>>733691086Okay I just boughted the game. Apparently there was a free trial on Thursday called the Server Slam that I could have played first, but I'm finna have a blast anyways.
>>733685943>uh-oh I played Marathon for 12+ hours this weekend and I think I might have a new obsessionand then the inevitable cope pieces from the devs crying about how much love they poured into stealing art and it's not fair that nobody gave the game a real chance
wasting all this world building on some dogshit comp shooter should be a warcrime
>>733690701yes, what's my excuse for playing her when my friends start asking questions? the grapple is good?
>>733691090I didn't look very hard but here's one>>733691172To be honest, I only like it more so because it's the most normal human looking without excessive shit everywhere, which is why the bionic legs puts me off
I am hyped for the REWARDS PASS. Bungie's gunplay has me hyped, sisters. I can't wait to explore the dark sci-fi world of Tau Ceti IV.
I've been enjoying the demo
>>733690998The game takes place in an alternate(?) future of a colony where the Marathon ship ended up. No I don't understand why it's all plasticky if it's supposed to be going for that. A part of the marathon ship is one of the maps.
>>733691228I heard that the Reward Passes in Marathon (2026) are similar to the Warbonds in the hit game Helldivers 2 (2024). Is there any truth to that?
>>733691207I'm certain they will make some more "normal" looking skins in the future.733691228the cattlepass can be bought and completed whenever after releasing and that's a good thing chud
All the shilling just kinda make me sad desu
>>733691008It's Bungie's marketing term for the open beta. If someone is using that phrase you can probably dismiss their opinion.
>>733691419Fuck off, chud.
>>733691480Holy fuck my eyes
>>733691440He's right, though. It just makes the game look so pitiable, like a kid without friends whose mom has to ask your mom if he can come hang out.
>>733691172It's the Destiny2 strand grapple copypasta'd except it's free from the designated grapple points and slower.
Ok chuds, you can stop hating. Don't you want a Marathon gamer girl gf? Look at her supple girl cock and strong jawline.
>>733691242Damn, it seems like Bungie is treating the Marathon lore with the respect it deserves. I dig that. We lore nerds will be eating real good come launch day!
>>733691419Blame the culture war retards spamming Concord 3. The ironic shilling is honestly a godtier counter-measure against them. They sort of cancel each other out. While the rest of us have levelheaded discussions.
>>733691228I already paid the box price, why are they now asking silk from me
>>733691614Sony needs to make more than just $40 from you, please understand.
>>733690763black americans...
>>733690537>impressive
>>733691614Because they are in really bad debt to Sony and they know they have enough fucking losers Bungie fanatics who will throw away extra money for nothing.
>>733691576>"you are hating on it, therefore you must be afraid of it"Why is this defense mechanism so common
>>733691228>@grok create character based on my recycle bin file
>>733688868I liked this post, good posts deserve recognition, have a (You)
>>733691576Yeah its important to alientate a large portion of the potential marketThis is why we celebrate your failure
>>733691665or niggers as I like to call them
>>733691576I like that she's built like a refrigerator.
>>733691576This one used to post on /bfg/ and /r6g/, been kind of insane watching a guy go from /v/-adjacent opinions to tranny
When you are in generic shooter contest and your opponent is Marathon
>>733691924Why are they charging $40 for roblox?
>>733691924Doesn't look generic at all.
>>733687071
>>733691924was your intention showing how atmospheric the game looks?
>>733692035What is this freak supposed to be? A gay black jewish guy with half white skin?
>>733692035where's the atmosphere?
>>733691924I miss when Bungie understood UI and HUDs.
>>733691924Ngl, the image you choose is probably the least generic looking shooter on the marketMy worry is that with all the bold colours and look to it that it started to edge on Paintball Simulator vibe
>>733692148You don't get it. It's intentionally as soulless and minimal as possible to represent how corporatized it is. read: the UI designers did a really good presentation on why they don't need to do their job
indians on discord are telling me this looks bad
>>733692242George Soros is financing a huge Marathon anti-shill campaign
>>733692242I too love having crude oil smeared on a pair of classes.
>>733692242Wrong pic?
>>733692242What is this, brapper zone?
>>733691924Wtf, this doesnt look anything like the alpha. How were they able to achieve this with such a short delay? What was it, 6 months? this makes no sense
>>733692275>minor spelling mistakeit's over
>>733692317Indians don't understand final art passes
>>733692242I LOVE having no visibility in an extraction shooter. That's why Arc Raiders is doing so well, because you can't see shit!
>>733692317The just upped the saturation and removed a bit of the fog. Would be embarrassing if that took them 6 months.
>>733692275Sissy boy scared of oil?DRILL BABY DRILL #MAGATHON
>>733691727Yes, John. I've modified the image based on the preferences I’ve picked up from our chats. I hope this will meet your expectations.
>>733688110literally cheaper than tarkov
>>733692363Tarkov too
>>733692435
>>733692242I kneel....
>>733692373
>>733692467tarkov is actually good though
>>733692317They just had to lock in for a bit. Their hard work is finally paying off after months of negative sentiment.
>>733692514yeah, they deleted some of the scuffed UE3 looking grass too
>>733683132I didn't give a fuck about it, story in OG Marathon games sucked and was stupid, on top of dogshit gameplay. But after Bluepoint I root for that live service shit to crash and burn.
>>733692161>least genericHow?>compass top center>healthbar and shield bottom left>companion info lower middle left>abilities bottom center >ammo and weapon bottom right>weapon taking over way too much camera space even though it's not even raised to the shoulderAre you saying it's unique purely based on the art style?
>>733692579It's mostly the rocks that have changed. Not huge but that type of second pass is really valuable for map design IME. Or just making things not look like shit in general
>>733692463Really give me Radical High vibe, if you catch my drift
>>733692658We're reaching levels of bait our ancestors never dreamed of
>>733692514Jesus this is night and day. Why bother ruining first impression with the alpha build? Had they started with the bottom pic, i feel like reception would’ve been more favorable.
I really can't tell if the shills are ironic or not. I might have lost it
>>733691924 i like the way this looks because im tired of sci military space industrialism
>>733683132This game will limp by with no players for a month. Then, and only then, I'll have gotten my $40 worth, and it has my permission to die.
>>733689550Yes. 2 days. I was never going to buy it. I'm just curious how it plays and don't want to post much about it until I get the chance to.
>>733683132clearly this game has somebody spooked, as they're pushing lazy falseflag posts to make any interest appear inorganic / exhaust the comeback narrative before people have a chance to actually try it and maybe like it. i'm 100% not buying it but the vector art and cool UI that ties into the themes of the game seem quite cool, esp for a game that is about loot and messing around in menus. a sort of mysterious extraction shooter with tough raid activities also presents interesting storytelling opportunities i think. will prob try the playtest but more interested in watching how something like this could develop longterm
>>733692517lmao no, the player controller feels stiff as FUCK and its horribly allergic to any QoL stuff
>>733692887Facts. The Marathon comeback needs to be studied.
I saw some gameplay for it and it just seemed like another shooter. What's ever unique about it doesn't go deep enough for me.Doesn't even have any single player content. No thanks
>>733692714rocks are barely changed really, the second image is closer up with a large rock pillar on the rock instead of a tree, a lot of vegetation removal in general
>>733692802It's so funny to me that they were really going to release unfinished garbage at one point>>733692838I'm playing both sides so I always come out on top.
>>733692862And you are not tired of square building futurism?
>>733692923>the player controller feels stiff as FUCKnot really, it feels pretty good, has weightjumping feels weird and stiff though ill agree with that, but i think it makes sense from the perspective of wearing a lot of heavy gear + carrying heavy shit
>>733692802>Why bother ruining first impression with the alpha build?Indians don't understand final art pass. They see the first working prototype released for playtesting and think that's the final product. They are literally so fucking retarded that despite some games like deadlock having a massive text box stating "NOT FINAL, ART AND GAMEPLAY ARE BOUND TO CHANGE." every time you open it, they still go "oh wows saars I can't believe valve can't into the lightings anymore! Game runs so badlies too."
>>733692938I know who you are.
>>733692802The game is still shit, graphics don't matter.
>>733692781???
>>733693002They were genuinely going to launch the game with the first image as the final product. You need to stop trying this narrative.
>>733692997Are you really beefing with buildings being squares? Fool's errand I know but genuinely I haven't played another game with shipping container buildings. Am I out of touch?
>>733692658lol you're actually more retarded than I originally thought
>>733693002To be fair, deadlock also looks a lot better now. I used to shit on that game too
>>733693065No they weren't. You fell for viral marketing.
>>733692514Polished turd
>>733693118their actual marketing*
>>733693096Great, so what is it doing that makes it actually unique? To me it appears like a very generic shooter with generic UI and generic mechanics but a colorful and blocky coat of paint slapped on top.
>>733693065No, you fucking troglodyte. The alpha build they showed for closed playtesting was old and used to gauge the gameplay feel. Internally they are way ahead. The final art pass is always saved for last.
Chat, let me tell you. Low key? This game kinda slaps. This game kinda slaps. Now I was saying since day 1, that Marathon was gonna be something special. Now- hold on let me finish. Hold on. Marathon… is straight cooking. Now I ain’t gonna lie this shit looks straight fire. Straight fire.
>>733693053Yeah let me hold my gun left handed and out of frame, with a big garish compass in the corner. Nigger games are about having fun. I don't want to stress about where the fucking health bar is. If UI elements and FOV are what makes a game generic for you there are about ten trillion games I could recommend that you avoid.You fuckers just don't like the art style or the company and then hallucinate like an LLM trying to come up with reasons for it instead of just joking about it like a regular person. If I saw you in person I would skin you with a potato peeler
>>733693002It’s not Indians, it’s kids here who want to fit in by being edgy. It’s like that Synthetic guy on YouTube, that’s the kind of person you’re talking to.
>>733693261The argument wasn't over whether or not you had fun playing the game.
>>733693176Is this the new retcon to save bungie's face?
>>733693310Yeah but comparing them to Indians is funnier because they are equally retarded.
>>733693312Game's not out yet. I haven't played it. I just think you're a troglodyte
Game ain't even out yet and I'm already having a blast with it.
>>733693247Peanut said this the other day
>>733693165>what is it doing that makes it actually uniqueObviously the art direction idiot, but since you think it's so generic you should be able to provide at least 5 games that are identical right?And no, a completely different aesthetic shooter with health in the bottom left, ammo in the bottom right, and compass at the top does not count
We call it Marathon because that's how long you will be playing
>>733693396Media literacy is dead.
The fact that this is the third time this is happening makes me think this is merely about tax evasion.>have interns cobble together some crap game in a few months time>release it and claim it cost 500 million to make>when it flops you shut it down and write the sum off as a loss
>>733693378So then why argue to begin with?>>733693392I never said the art style is generic, I said the game looks generic with a colorful art style slapped on top.
I entered the thread only for at leasto SpongeBob reference, I'm disappointed.
DBA dead before arrival
>>733693465Then what's your point, you can't play a shooter that has health in bottom left, ammo in bottom right, and compass at the top because that makes it generic?
>>733693465Every excuse to use colorful language is worth taking anon. If you had a soul you would have known that already.
>>733685367indian highschoolers cant even afford a PC or a PS5 so why would they be talking about marathon's server slam lol
>>733693472Go back
>>733693560No, I simply asked what makes this game unique. Is it just the art style or is there something else?
>why would they be talking about (marketing term)
>>733693575It's to watch a game fail for schadenfreude. They don't know anyone who can play it so it's free lulz for the secondaries.
>>733693623SpongeBob is very popular and you know it, that's all I'm going to say.
>>733683132We know. you’ve been making daily threads for weeks.
The other shill thread got deleted, why didn't this one?
>>733693789People were being too mean to Bungie. We are hyped for the return to form and preordering Marathon.
>>733693765Almost every thread I've seen is on the pro-marathon side. You get like 1 anti-marathon thread every few days and they are much more egregious than "meh".
>>733693527DBA digging before arrival
>>733693641Extraction game with faction quests and lore that build up run after run all the way up to a big raid. It sounds like a fun loop. Factions are wallpaper bait. Having to build craft every run because you get different shit sounds fun to me too. I like extraction games, roguelikes, clown vomit, and robussy.Game's got guns and a grappling hook in it though so I guess we'll throw it in the bin, pack it up. Chuddha won this time
>>733683132Seems fun, this is right up my alley, can't wait to try it and have a blast! Day one!!!
>>733693923Please stop trying to play up the destiny "fetch 5 turds" bounties as quests.
>>733693923Sounds wack
>>733693836So tru xister. The vibeshift is real.
Sorry chuds, but THIS IS EPIC. Imagine killing 15 of the 1 enemy type, shooting through 20 pieces of glass, and holding your USE key in one part of the map! I am hyped for this and preordering now.
>>733683132You mean you're having a blast right? RIGHT?The game is good now chud they fixed it every beta is better than the last play the game now BUY BUY BUY BUY
>>733683282>>733685367>>733686282This has mainstream written all over it. It's lightning in a bottle.
>>733694146lol jfc
>>733694131Just say you hate gaming, it's fine
>>733688231You can no longer discuss video games online, it is either hugbox or tortanic.Game releases are simply a new battlefield for shitflingers
We ARE having a blastWe ARE hypedWe ARE owning the chudsWe ARE studying the Marathon comeback
>>733683132>multiplayer only>pvp focus even with a pve element>extraction shooter that consists of not getting ganked to progress anything
>>733694131>smash glassreal game for american
>Hey I got a great idea>What if we made an extraction shooter that let you go invisible any time you want>Hooray, I'm hyped. I'm preordering now!
>>733694237Careful you'll anger the weird redditor who yells about hugboxes and wants the game to be KOS so only like 2 people in any given lobby can extract with their 7 bottlecaps, bag of used needles, and 5 guns clogging their inventory.
Why do all the characters bother with that make-up style designed to throw off face recognition software when they're 3D printed throwaway android bodies anyway?
>>733694306You joke but the autistic metafaggotry is gonna pulp this game's playerbase lmao.
>>733694306>that let you go invisible any time you wantwait really lol
>>733694386They're 3d printed by some stupid silkworms that shit rubber and there's no control over the colours the come out of them. The bodies are basically just balloons filled with fluid and electronics.
>>733694306Sounds busted, but at the same time a lot of the shells kits sound bustedFeel like half of them all have some sort of player detection/wall hacks ability
I might have judge highguard too harsh
>>733686937How do you people not get this reference
>>733694510damn that's ugly as hell
>all models are asian drag queens>zero cool robots or males>n64 texturesYou need AGP to enjoy this ugly slop.
>>733694510ah yes a game made by the kind of people who watch drag queen shows and contrapoints i guess
>>733694564>>733694146Posting screenshots of the alpha is hereby punishable by sodomy.
>>733694650Yeah chud you tell em! We only post Bungie's latest and greatest server slam /here/
Marachuds, this is our time, our moment
Destiny players want this so fail so badly out of spite, and Destiny players are always retarded, thus this game will be a success.
DOA
Maratroons more like
this game must be cool because it makes people seethe
>>733694772Bungie is too retarded to keep those retarded Destiny players from leaving their cashcow. Therefore this will flop.
>>733694510i dont know why but im just not offended by this, i cant explain it
>>733693098Deadlock is still a year away from release, has multiple placeholder models still in use, and wasn't intended to be public at this point if not for a retarded TF2 eceleb leaking it's existence and forcing Valve to completely change their plans. Destiny was an open playtest that was intended to be only a little bit before release if not for them having to redo everything based on people hating it and the stolen art fiasco
>>733694690Why do they call it a server slam instead of an open beta, are they trying to be arc raiders?
>>733694807They want you to think this is ugly
>>733694772>Destiny players want this to fail!>There's too many ex-destiny and current Destiny players for this to fail!pick one
>>733694881I'm picking the first one retard, can't you read?
>>733694872>They want you to think this is uglyhank hill troon ass
>>733694780>team chat is separate to proximity chatI think this is a tactical blunder. I've never played a game where this was a good feature.
>>733694881it's both and neither thoughbeit
>>733694951schrodinger's cope
>>733694908That bot ain't right.
>>733694772There are people screaming right now in their favela over not getting Destiny 3 and Bungie diverting all development to Marathon.
>>733694510I'm so sick of ugly games
>>733694510How did Cyberpunk get frame mogged so hard by Marathon of all games?
I like how it looks and the gameplay does seem interesting but paying forty euros for a game that will be dead within a month is not a smart move.Maybe if they made it free I would have tried it.
>>733695060Bungie couldn't make Destiny 3, even if they wanted to.
>>733694510>goth girl scene girl cuteBungie knows.
>>733695060>There are people screaming right now in their favela over not getting a sequel to one of the most expensive to play mainstream games and Bungie diverting 10% of their development to making minimal viable product Marathonsomething doesn't add up
>>733695078>paying 40 bucks gatekeeps turdiesthis is a good thing actually
>>733695117that's trannycore not scene
>>733695078F2P Andy wants to pay $30 + tip for 10 gacha pulls instead
>>733695117>goth girl scene girl cuteFuck off, troon. None of those are goth or scene.
>>733695117>cuteUgly and gross
The visuals style to me is "nothing". I feel nothing. Its not bad or good, its just zero response. Cold, emotionless, blank. Colored shapes. Negative atmosphere. A void.
I do not want to be mistaken for a Destiny fanboy so please let me make this clear I do not believe that Bungie has ever made a single good game.The original Marathon trilogy was ass and lost to DOOM for a good reasonHalo is overrated shit that only the most casual of console plebs enjoy because the magnetic aim lets them play a first person shooter on controllerDestiny was a botched project through and through and honestly Bungie should've shut down when Destiny 1 failedDestiny 2 did not improve as a game but they figured out how to perfectly milk the braindead whales that attached themselves to the game for some reasonMy hope going forward is that Marathon fails and Bungie finally gets closed down for goodThanks for reading my blog
The game just looks good. The music is good, the lighting is good, the locales look good, the story looks good, the IP is cool, some of the characters look good, some of the guns look good, the combat looks methodical, the atmosphere is great. I say all this as someone who doesn’t click with extraction shooters. Ironically, I think what most extraction shooters were missing were hero shooter abilities and Destiny build crafting.
>>733695176It's called cyber goth
>>733683282no, it's concord 4
Which good game has ever relied on this for their marketing?
>>733695157>>733695176>>733695204Ruh oh damage control damage control
>>733695227>blackfaceDelete this
>>733695138They are going to gatekeep most of their potential playerbase.I doubt that people who play Arc Raiders right now will be switching to Marathon.
>>733695227bungie are really paying generic e-girls for marketing lmfaokill all simp porn addict faggots
>>733695239None
Bungie troons could NEVER
>>733695269Get a job hippie
>>733695210That’s actually the point of it. No joke.
>>733695269>casuals afraid of pvp are going to avoid thiseven better
game needs more pink cat
>Marathon will literally be the clean walled off private community to Arc Raider's slumsbased?
>>733695314Bro its a hero shooter its built for autistic brownoids
>>733695239Uhh....
>>733695293Is that a parody game?
>>733695227oh hell no that's mega cringe
>>733695218That’s dumb hyperbole. The truth is that they’re all solid 7.5/10 games but don’t go any higher. That’s the problem. All their lore is 10/10 though.
>>733695386>Cute girl>cringeYou might be a fag, anon
>>733695305so now you don't have a playerbase and the game dies
>>733695397>rapes her aesthetic to be blackanon...
>>733695301Like promoting videogames on image boards?How much does it pay?You should know.
>>733695397kill yourself simp cunt
>>733688231/shill/
Marty wonBungie/troons lost
>>733695239Supergiant Games keeps doing this kind of marketing even though it's still the same people there since Bastion.
>>733695397>cute girlyes>makes herself the aesthetic equivalent of the pile of plastic outside of an incinerator at the "recycling" plantnah
>>733695438Kill yourself aids riddled faggot
>>733695425I would prefer if it becomes kind of niche like the finals
>>733695480guarantee you watch vtubers or girl streamers you pathetic simp cunt
I played the october test. It's the best shooter ever made
>>733695491Bungie needs to be making well over $3,600,000,000 though since they killed Destiny after Sony bought them.
>>733695515As usual you're wrong lol
uuh fellow hateshills... why does it keep rising??I was convinced we killed it
>>733695303He won't get it.
>>733695491If it becomes niche then its failed, it needs to perform highly
>>733695516Same and it was the worst game I've ever played
>>733695571doubt it
>>733695596I too just saw this false information on the reddit, sister! it's higher than before but not that high
Is it really only a week away from launch?
>>733694510Would. Hard. An indeterminate number of times.
>>733695621Well of course you'll have to doubt your baseless accusation in order to protect your ego
>>733694510stunning, brave even
>>733695301If you work more than zero hours a week then lower your tone when speaking to me, wage slave.
>>733695665Don't you have marathon porn to jack off to, pablo?
>>733695596>from 210 to 21umm, flop bros???
>>733694510>Hidden tits and ass to protect troonsI fucking hate Bungie so much it's unreal
>>733695431Envy is a sin, anon. Either way, you don't seem the type to work the night shift.It is after-hours where you are right now, isn't it?
>>733695706It's actually like 37 or something, don't samefag.
>>733695665the basis is you are a simp cunt, as proven by that pic
>>733695596Roadside Research won bigly
>>733695303>>733695601I get theat some people might appreciate that style, but seesm like a poor decision to deliberately make a game soulless as an artistic choice, when its needed to have mass appeal to succeed.
>>733694772It's like Deadlock and TF2 all over again
>>733695605>"worst game I've ever played">still hate posting about it 5 months laterWhat keeps you coming back, do you want to see it improve?
>>733695716
>>733683282no
>>733695731>Finding girls attractive makes you a simpYou are literally a homosexual
>>733695764Needs the lawbreakers and battleborn prequel trilogy
Funnies part about this entire thing is that regardless of how Marathon does Bungie is still utterly fucked.
>>733695764I watched a stream of Killer Inn it looked so fucking bad what are Square Enix doing?
>>733695596AAAAAAAAAA
>>733695774But Chuddha, another failure and sony will collapse entirely...
I'm a substitute teacher in junior high and everyone is talking about Marathon even the stacies and chads are planning to hop on and play Marathon they even asked me if I would join but I said nah that weak shit ain't for me
>>733695826e-sports is so fucking weird man who watches this garbage
>>733695749I'm only interested in total Bungie rape at this point. The December playtest was the exact same shit.
>>733683132Quick poll. Don't neceessarily answer in this thread. What percentage of the posts in this thread do you think are botted?
>>733695746Game's about wageslaving though. It would compromise the art to style it otherwise.You're right about it from a marketing standpoint but if people who only care about mass appeal get to face the wall
>>733695596nobody is going to play it sarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
>>733695605You got shit on lmao, you're that fag with 99 minutes
>>733695925I had 7(get it?) hours
>>733695916>corporations badthis slogan belongs in a museum.
>>733695915It's somewhere between 30% and 50%
>>733695924Are you really going to ironically samefag inaccurate information?
cant imagine anything less funny or enjoyable to do with your time than ironically pretend to be into a very mediocre looking gameand there are losers who do this here with every single one of these mid games coming out, why?
>>733695764This shit is so unfunny, I'm just as happy to see these projects fail as any other GamerBut to bunch them all in under the Concord umbrella only diminishes how monumental the Concord disaster was>Killer InnIs just any unsuccessful game now considered concord tier?
>>733695965Only cooperatives, cults, and terrorist organizations are moral.
>>733695962I had 40
Why is this game so transcoded?
>>733696012You enjoy slop more than I do.
>>733696019reddit mods are specimens
>>733696019>Marathon haters literally browse redditSpeaks for itself lol
>>733695997Killer inn isn't big enough budget to count, although it is live service. It should be in the spinoffs.
>>733696019>goes through all the effort of taking a photo for the purpose of putting themselves online for all to see>too lazy to take 2 seconds to mirror the imageFuck that mod too, he put that image up with his collar on, he knew what he was opening himself up to
>>733696091Erm I will LITERALLY ban you if you say it should be out down
>>733683282I've seen gameplay of it. Doesn't look that interesting to me. Then again, I don't care for what I see of Arc Raiders. I do think the aesthetics are cool. Also, lol at the Marathon general.
>>733696084Marathon 2026 is my favorite game of all time
did you guys hear kai cenat is gonna have a comeback stream and play Marathon for 72 hours straight poggers
>>733695990The way obvious shills write is very recognizable some people like to have fun by ironically mimicking that posting style and apply it to the worst shit imaginableI did it a few times for Highguard and didn't even play the game when it released despite it being f2p
>>733696128I am hyped for his return to form to the dark sci-fi world of Tau Ceti IV
>>733695990Because they are paid to do it.
>>733695812>what are Square Enix doing?https://www.hd.square-enix.com/eng/company/officer.html
>>733696179Looks smarter than Bungie's "head of studio"
>>733695916I don't care about mass apeal, but the guys making the game sure do. And yet they went with visual faggotry and aids as a style. Curious.
>>733696168>>733696147i doubt real shills are that common here desu, ubisoft definitely uses them though (or at least used to) its mostly just weirdos trying to be funny
>>733696179oh that explains it
Just noticed this game is coming out march 5th just in time to get whooped by a certain deck building card game
>>733696218No I'm pretty sure we get plenty of real shills and a few bots spamming positive messages with pre-programmed response patterns here
>>733696090I would argue none of these are big enough to be compared to concordSome are high in development budget, but don't account for how fucked concord was>sony paying 200 mil for the studio>paying for external media spotlights>abundance of merchandise prepared>mini animated series planned for all concordians>less than 1k players in paid weekend test, even less on a free weekend>universally rejected, every youtube channel making videos dunking on every aspect of itIt will literally be used as a case study for years to come of how bad it was
>>733696268snoy paid $3.6 billion for bungie thoughbeitever
>>733696268i wasnt posting here at the time, i had no idea there was so much expectation for the game lmao
>>733694131https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixBwQNhs2Jo>he doesn't like smashing glass
I'll give it a try on the free trial because the artstyle and setting are interestingstill, don't have much hope in an extraction shooter
>>733696121The gameplay itself is really fucking bland. Just the same old slow-paced ADS shit but now with more wallhacks and invisi niggas.The only good part about the actual game is the audio work. But like even fucking Battlefield has good audio so whatever it's expected.
>>733695796Lawbreakers, Battleborn and Hyenas?>>733696268Marathon and AC shadows and SW outlaws are AAAA budget. But you're right. Concord deserves it's own tier. It's the centerpiece. The legend. The thing that pushed ET aside.The only other way you could contextualize it if you take Bungie and it's various live service fuckups as including Concord.
Why would the company that made Trans Vader make a good extraction shooter?
>>733696492fucking lmao
>>733691703because deep down they're sad about causing disgust, so they try to delude themselves into thinking people are just afraid of how "brave and powerful" they are
>>733683132Never forget what they took from you
>>733696561Erm...chuddie...why does it not look like a 2008 progressive commercial and have positive trans role models?
>>733693623Shadow is on the same level as disney princesses and paw patrol
>>733687064wdym, the art style is like the one cool thing the game has going for it, everything else seems meh at best
>>733696268the Jim Ryan GAAS push is one of the most interesting corporate misadventures in modern gaming in a long time. I recall in 2022 when they said they wanted 12 GAAS titles to be released by 2025 i do remember people rolling their eyes at it but to see it blow up like this was beyond anyone's expectation.
>>733696638>wdym, the art style is like the one cool thing
>>733695596Ma’am wait woahNOOOO YOU DONT HAVE TO DO THIS
>733696742trying too hard
The real tragedy here is that behind all these woketards using the game to push their garbage, there are many real developers actually trying to make an appealing gameBut these games must crash and burn until all the wokefags are purged out so the real devs can do their job for once
>From the creators of Halo and Destiny comes Marathon
>>733696793What's woke about Marathon
>>733696561The game never looked like that retard It was all lsd textures in 2 and sheet metal in 1
Only two sleeps until kino is back on the menu
>>733696975>Xhe didn't play Marathon 2: DurandalGrim, I thought you fags were true fans
Does this game do anything cool or unique gameplay wise?
>>733697020Yeah and water levels and fighting flcta sucked donkey balls
>>733696892I mean at least this time it's from the same developer studio as the games they referenceHighguard they just had some people that worked on apex and titanfall in a completely new company
>>733697049...it adds a hero that ping the locations of enemies periodically. Otherwise it's almost entirely recycled Destiny turned into a battle royale with the facade of an inventory management system.
>>733696261>he actually doesn't know
>>733697083>Holy fuck a true fan that watch the summary video from the #MarathonPartnerWOW! I was wrong and am preordering Marathon (2026) now! >>733697101>I mean
I sit in all these threads because I’m gay, and there’s some faggot who literally sits here 18 hours a day and posts the same 30 images over and over again every single day every single day single thread. And if you call him out he calls you Indian. All day. 18 hours I’ve seen it. All these posts are all this one guy.
>>733697049It's not run by incompetent Russians or Koreans like Tarkov and Dark and Darker was
>>733697180Instead it's run by incompetent "diverse" people that fear making the community happy.
>>733697049Unlike many other gaas products, this one you have to pay for the privilege to pay more as you play
>>733696469I think Gigantic was the first hero shooter flop and slightly predates Lawbreakers.
Does 4chan even get to 1000 active users on most days? Having actual paid shills here just seems like a waste
>>733697049You can go invisible anytime you want and it has no anticheat whatsoever. Most actions are still checked client side, like Destiny 2, so it should be fun if you cheat.
>>733696892Funny thing about this game that it actually does well in the aspects you would expect these devs to excel at. Everything else is just boring as shit.
>>733697145the thought that im posting here interacting with discord fucking freaks is somehow ten times worse than the thought of interacting with twitter/reddit/resetera cuntspublic discord users are something else man
>>733696690>Social media lead is fat therefore art style bad
>>733697145Are you mentally raped or something? 2 was mainly brownish Lhowan ruins and the art you posted shows compilers and bobs from Marathon 1. Marathon was never really a pretty game so I don't know why you're acting like a hysterical tranny and posting discord screen shots when I disagreed with you
>>733697262yeah, i tried it on release and then out of curiosity tried apex legends on the same day, i found high guard to be a lot better than apex, the gunplay was much better and the overall feel of the game too. high guard just wasnt interesting though, apex legends was genuinely bad, i was shocked
>>733697302>Marathon was never really a pretty game
>>733697259Most actions are actually checked server side saar
>>733697367You retards still use BattleEye, just like D2
will this game have a campaign
>>733697360No it wasn't. M1 was mainly featureless metal boxes with 0 environmental props until you got to the Pfhor ship levels and M2 and Infinity was just brown versions of Halo CE forerunner ruins with weird skyboxes and piss water
>>733697461No, that's overdelivery. It's an extraction shooter with opt-in chat. Isn't that fun? That will be $40
>>733697221"diverse" as in they outsourced to the most impoverished nations in the world for pretty much everything from QA to model artwork.
>>733697461No and it probably never will. They couldn't even bother with a lazy Titanfall-style recycling of multiplayer content to pretend there's a campaign
>>733697479You clearly never played M2 or Infinity. Do better, faggot.
>>733683282it's still an extraction shooter, and im not a fan of that genre. i hardly play the dungeon extraction games like dark and darker.
>>733690763see>>733696940>>733694193
>>733697508No, "diverse" as in they don't hire based on merit because that would be racist/sexist.
>>733697461No, and I'm simply not buying it for that reason and not because of culture war bullshit
>>733696690>no argument but here's a pic of fat "chick" i savedokay
People always talk about shills in the sense of people being paid to promote again, but they forget people also get paid to attack the competition as well.
>>733697604That's not a thing.
Dilating on arrival
>>733697604Correct.
>>733697604this isn't a jeet crypto forum dumbass the only people who profit from the game doing well is bungie, nobody gets paid for shitting on the game.
>>733697479>>733697360Not wrong, but its ugliness comes mostly from the limits of (macintosh) graphics at the time. The difference is not fidelity but that nu-marathon has a objectively ugly artstyle that has a lot of flair but nothing to tie it together. Compare that to craig mullins who took the limited mac 32bit pallet and made pretty decent illustrations
>>733697518Are you trying to be retarded on purpose? It's mainly just samey brown temples until you get to Durandal
>>733697663Ayy mayne I can'ts even afford a fro-card in dis economy. Shiiiet

>733697751What did the retard mean by this?
>>733697663>black character appears on screen>the framerate stutters and your fan kicks into turboDo they even want to be liked?
>>733697751I'm glad you have no counterpoint and are desperately trying to make it seem like marathon was pretty compared to Duke or Blood
>>733697743>brandsyeah not videogames because it doesn't do anything
>>733697461Not in the traditional sense, but it does have big mystery to piece together via terminals and audiologs, so honestly, kind of like the original games in a funny way. Maybe there is more in the full game, we dont really know, bungie seems to be planning something big with the narrative
I'm having a frog blast
Hyped for a AAA LGBT game
I am hyped for the return to form. I hope to see you on Tau Ceti IV. It will be a blast.
>>733683132think of the shareholders, anti-semite
>>733697863>doesn't do anythingWrong.
>>733697863>Shitting on something and making it look bad doens't do anythingWhat a weirdly retarded thing to say, almost like you're trying to hide it.
>>733695915They just created a /vg/ thread that's like 90% AI generated, just genuinely unnatural posting.Bungie's desperation is almost sad to watch.
>>733698058it does do nothing. You're talking about catty women's makeup brands. We're talking about videogames where a "boycott" has never ever worked.
I played the December playtest and it sucked dick. Nobody used voice chat and the ai was retarded.
>>733698257Looks like pretty normal vidya posting anonSorry you're so jaded in life that people enjoying something upsets you
>>733698370I agree, it's a return to form and the people are clearly hyped to have a blast.
>>733698278No one mentioned a boycott schizo
>>733698396Meds
>>733698412The only medication I need is the Marathon Server Slam injected directly into my veins!
>>733698404It's an example but clearly that's too advanced for you.
>>733694510>we want the "killing themselves at 30" crowd
>>733698473Why not talk about people just not liking Marathon? When is the last time there was even a boycott, MW2 in 2009?
>>733698317I played the feb 2026 build a little while ago and bungie had to tell me to go to the bathroom at one point, i was starting to smell, but I just couldnt stop playing, the game was so good! i dont think im getting invited again though
I haven't seen this level of Blast posting since Dragon's Dogma 2 this game's gonna be a shitshow huh
>>733698507bro what? There are calls to boycott random games or developers like twice a year I just started tuning them out and telling people it's not going to do anything because people won't actually boycott. As a further example just look at Marathon itself. People blew their loads over the art plagiarism but now that's basically swept under the rug and forgotten lore.
>>733698473An example of what? It's completely irrelevant, you got nothing you troglodyte
>>733698564Can you name any recent examples? I get you'll probably need to prompt Grok, but take your time. I'm listening and I hear you.
>>733698537Shut up, Chud. Marathon is taking over, the come back needs to be studied.
I wonder how hard the execs are gonna gut Bungie
>>733698628Told you I started tuning them out but the last one I remember was the harry potter or bg3 because of how obsessed /v/ was with posting about it.>oh muh grokyou imply I even use ai slop let alone browse the shitter.
so wait who is this game supposed to be for? the aesthetic and narrative look like they're catering towards trannies and cyberpunk 2077 retards, but it's an extraction shooter. trannies are a minuscule population and cp77 faggots are too retarded and/or drug addled to be able to handle pvp
So why does marathon OG and system shock have almost the same ai story if they released just months apart
>>733694471Where do you read this lore
i was kinda skeptical about this game in that yeah its fps extraction unfunny fortnite, but some people might fall for that slop... until i saw that this flaming bag of shit isnt f2p and its 30 bucks LOL ITS FUCKING DEAD LMAOOOOOO
>>733698746both were trying to capitalize on I Have no Mouth and i must scream being really popular at the time in the 90's so edgy AIs were in.
>>733697629>>733697683Watch these two writhe when the truth gets told>that literally doesn’t happen Lmao
>>733698912yeah this shit not being f2p is certainly a choice, i bet it'll be f2p within a year though (or dead)
>>733698718Nobody boycotted harry potter or bg3. Also you bungiefags steal art(Marathon and Destiny 2) and use Ai slop (Destiny 2) all the time
>>733697751>I know, I’ll call out the image80% of the posters shitting up these threads are Nexon contractors from India.
what % of the population of shills for this game will kill themselves before it even comes out? 42?
>>733683132It just looks so boring. I guarantee it doesn't have a single idea that hasn't been done before
>>733699061Name another game that loojs like this
Will the "server slam" be open to everyone or just preorders?
>>733699071They literally stole the art
>>733699081Just faggots
>>733699081You’re invited too

>game's entire credo and aesthetic caters to leftist, poststucturalist, dissociating twitter retards >make it an extraction shooter, a genre which only niggers and rightoids are interested in interesting tactic, lets see how it plays out for em
Why is it called server slam

>>733698997>Nobody boycotted harry potter or bg3proving my point
>>733699453Marathon won't be as big as those games bro
>>733683282>Can we at least give the game a chance before hating on it?I did, have you not seen the gameplay footage?

>marathon 1994>gritty space doom shooter>marathon 2026>mirror edge looking ass extraction shooter with hot topicIsn't this just prove there is no marathon fan? Like no one speak up on how fucking nonsense this is?

>>733699668Where were you 2 years ago when the announcement trailer came out? everyone was confused and angry including the marathon fans.
>>733699257It’ll be “alright”. You’ll have to give it time to click. I reckon 14 hours. >how do you knowBecause I’ve been playing games for 40 years now. I know why Marathon will do well, but it won’t capture people immediately.
>>733699794Then, who the fuck is this for?
this is what Marathon fans actually want
>>733699668I did but I got targeted by the shills, online and offline. It was worth it. :3I don't care about nu-Marathon either way but seeing it flop will not surprise me, at all. At least they're trendy as in killing an established franchise.
>>733698746tbf marathon actually has an interesting take on the crazy AI thing. durandal doesn't care about destroying or enslaving humanity.
>>733699928That’s just Quale IV and Doom 2016. We’ve done that. If Marathon was that, I wouldn’t be interested.
>>733699841What do you know about microtransactions will there be pay-to-win type shit you can buy?
>>733699008They will just move on to the next game they are paid to advertise.
>>733700398Probably just cosmetics. They know the PR backlash if they let players buy loot, though I wouldn’t put it past companies eventually in years.
