How's the game so far?
>>733876536Not good.
>>733876617Can you give your thought?
Its hunt showdown: cal arts edition
>>733876536I don't know I don't play video games
It's the worst thing a game can be, fucking boring.
Shit interface, but potential to be really good.
>>733876536RAPED
>>733876536One of the worst shooters I've ever played. Deeply flawed in every aspect of its design
>>733876536it has good bones
i checked a few streamers and they dont like it so it's DOA
>>733876536Is this the looney troon game whose devs stole some artist's props and tried to deny it and lie about it?Not gonna lie, that's worse than saying you use AI, though equally lazy and creatively bankrupt.
it is courtesy to put a game's title in the subject or original post when starting threads.
it sucks
>>733876536Pretty ass. Was playing on playstation though, maybe it's more fun with mouse and keyboard.
>>733876536It's quite possibly the most mediocre thing I've played in years. I don't know how you come off the tail of Destiny and make something that's worse than Destiny in the same aspects that people "liked" about Destiny.
its fucking shit, the niggas have spoken
>>733876536its so good im having a BLAST
>>733876536
>>733877580i knew this game was too intelligent for the rabble
its feels clunky as hell, and the alpha test already looked clunky as hell so I'm wondering what the heck bungie was doing for the past 6 months
>>733877580concordbros... were so back
>>733877580NOOOOOWE'RE LOSING THE NIGGA AUDIENCEFUCK THIS SHITTY PLANET
>>733877043This. I watched some streams and actually got sleepy.
It's boring>Loot>Die>Get nothingRepeat
>>733877580welp there goes the PS5 audience
Why everything have printing lines?What Im suppose to be? a robot?Why I loot? where Im looting?The game and UI is pretty confusing so far.
BLAST STATUS: HAD
>>733877580>we have actual black twitter niggas on /v/game should've come with ball
>>733876536I've only played solo but it's extremely tense. I like how well you can identify where players are through audio, options to get the jump on them or retreat etc. Gameplay is great as well but maybe too high of a TTK for me. I like the slower pace compared to other shooters, if you plan your engagements it feels good to outsmart your opponents. No slide jumping or cheap tricks to worry about.Overall vibe is very melancholic though, and definitely will be off-putting to most.
>>733876536Good luck getting a genuine answer right now. Between the ironic shilling and /v/. Losing its mind from sales… best you’ll get is this response:>gunplay is solid>movement is smooth>stamina system sucks ass>nobody is talking on voip, so its KOS central.>The narrative is extremely interesting. >Menus are confusing>too many items with descriptions, so i just pick up whatever until bag full
>>733877984You forgot it's boring
>>733877984neither of those first 2 points is true unless you mean movement being smooth in a bad way, it's weightless and floaty
>makes you have blasts>a true return to form>sure to delight fans of <__>>I played <___> for 5 hours, and boy it's won me overThis is the game of all time...
cold stale dogturd
>>733877760You just described like 10 different mainstream games of immense popularity.
>>733877984the gunplay is trash and the movement is slow. you're a fucking idiot.
>>733877984>>movement is smoothnigga you cant reload and sprint at the same time, this shit fucking SUCKS
I hope it stays alien and not cyberpunk
>>733876536Im not trans so Im not sure.
>>733876536All style, little substance. It just feels so slow and the inventory management is shit. You spend more time reading item text than you do playing
>>733877926You bullshitting? The forums are full of people calling the lack of directional audio a problem.
It's one of the games of 2026.Bungie has no sauce outside of cinematics
I would like to try it but it has kernel anti-cheat so I won't
>>733877926paid shill spotted
>>733877501It is yes.But the term is 'antiwhite game'
>>733878135That makes sense there's a slowdown to reload
>>733876536The best way I can describe it is lightning in a bottle. Marathon is a return to form for Bungie Studios. I've been playing the server slam and have been having a blast.This has mainstream written all over it.
I decided to try out Deadlock 2 weeks ago, and put in 100 hours the past 2 weeks.I'm trying this, but I don't really get it.
>>733878036It's definitely boring to watch. When you're in the driver's seat it's pretty engaging.
>>733876536I'm having a blast shifting vibes!
>>733878326um Ninja thinks it's mid and Ninja is as mainstream as it gets
>>733877926the audio is dogshit. You can't hear anything. Go play Arc or Hunt for audio that actually lets you know where players are. Also it's the opposite of tense since there's 3 players on each map, it's a fucking snoozefest.
>>733876536It's lightning in a bottle.
>>733878190No? I just played four games and thought the audio is really well done. I can't speak for crowded 3 man squad games though. But the solo experience is really good.
>>733878373>When you're in the driver's seat it's pretty engaging.so far all of my matches have been pretty thrilling when it comes to engaging an enemy teammatches can either zoom by pretty fast or end up an 15-18 minute expedition, its about what i experienced playing dark and darker when it was FOTM except more fun dealing with full squads
Why the fuck nobody has the mic turned on? Holy shit i wish i could disable crossplay on pc
the music is goated
>>733876536Man it has such a garish neon lime logo design, who's not going to bite these bait threads on the catalog when it's this noticeable?
>>733876536why would they make a game that nobody wants
>>733878410You're probably still playing perimeter in beginner mode. I was only finding 1-2 runners a game. After that there's a lot more gunfire and engagements.
Having a Blast so far.
>>733878547I have push to talk on but, as soon as you encounter someone it's just shoot on sight without question. Again, really not sure about the mass appeal on this one.
>>733876536I feel nothingThere's no spark, no pull, nothing that really makes it unique beyond the art style
>>733877512So you could filter them out? Nuh uh, chud. You're going to be part of the cultural outrage whether you want to be dragged into it or not.
the Server Super Slam™ has been a real blast! Bungie really went back to their roots - I have never seen such a return to form!
>>733877580Somebody call in the BAFTA tourettes guy, these uppity buckaroos need to be taught a lesson
>>733877984did you even play the fucking demo?gunplay is dogshit and the guns/ammo types dont match the damage they deal at all. movement is slow and punished by the stamina bar. you get 3 fucking super powers on infinite use 40 second cool downs including wall hacks, invisibility, self heal and homing missilesyou dont even get to loot goblin as the game auto sells your shit without asking like what the hell man
ui is complete dogshit. gameplay is just the same extraction slop, but you get two poorly thought out abilities. Game feels worse than the other slop games in the genre because the UI is somehow more dogshit than them. There's just nothing going on with the game, like why the fuck would I ever play this over raiders when it has shittier gameplay, shittier audio, shittier ui, and extremely troon coded art.
it's aightUI looks slick but is kind of annoying to actually used. the little pop up "tips" in menus are fucking worthless. not that bad once you get used to it, but i bet this alone will filter peoplelooting is fine but it's one of those things where there's a billion kinds of loot but to play anything close to optimally, you're expected to spend only like two seconds deciding whether to pick something up. base backpack size is laughably small, like just carrying some extra ammo and hp/shield packs fills up most of it before you've even deployed, but i get that's the point. the expansions aren't that hard to find. gunplay is serviceable, some of the guns have dogshit designs but most of the ones i've found look good enough.seems like there is a heavy emphasis on "lore" which seems odd for a tarkov clone, makes me really wish this had been a more campaign game with this mode tacked on as an extra. not sure if i'll actually buy the real thing yet
>>733877501Thank you for your service, anon.
I thought this game might actually turn out decent, and all of the tortanic fags would have to eat dirt, but this is actually another concord. Wonder how much they spent developing this pile of dogshit.
>>733877580Qrd? Are these popular streamers? I thought Bungie paid all of them to hype the game today?
>>733876536I don't like extraction shooters. My friends don't yet know they don't like extraction shooters but they're going to find out tomorrow.I watched a bit of it.Gunplay seems good. abilities seem extremely weak. not being able to mantle over 2 foot high ledges is genuinely laughable.>get loot>shit on people who don't have loot>wee!
>>733879435>seems like there is a heavy emphasis on "lore">Le corpo is... LE BADbruh
>>733878708Top tier taste, anon.
>Console slop game with auto aim up the ass
>>733878186>It just feels so slowtake out your knife to run faster, with vandal's ability you go to the other side of the map in like 2 minutes
I'd give it a meh. It's not the disaster that Concord or Highguard is but considering Bungie spent a shitload on shilling it I expected it to be better than meh
They unironically should have copied more from Arc, AI enemies should not be humanoids that aggressively pursue you, they should be a distinct threat so you can manage the balance of PvP and PvE
uh TORtanic bros? our response?
>>733879296>auto sells your shit without askingthe game sells the valuable junk that's there just to give you money instead of making you click uselessly in the loadout screen and you're complaining?
>>733877795Alexa change is to izShow results
>>733879813Iceberg dead ahead!
>>733879813lets see how many of those viewers translate into players
Never played an Extraction Shooter before.Why is it so boring, is this what it's like for Arc Raiders and Tarkov? I thought it'd be more interesting than a normal PvP game because at least there's a little meat on it than it simply being a barebones game with a few characters to play as on a map and fight other players on repeat with nothing new outside cosmetics
>>733879580He didn’t say it was good lore. Just that it’s a focus.
>>733879920Wait to Tomorrow, people work on FridaysWe still BLASTING
Solos is bad and people are going to have difficulty ever extracting, clearly not balanced for it. I've only played two squad games and it's a little more fun, but I'm really missing the spectacle of fighting Arc vs. humanoid robots. It all feels a little too familiar. Things like sound design and visuals aren't great either
>>733879942>objective: break windowsw h a t
>>733878449I'm fucking Morgan Park's wife and his children are actually mine.Typing this while making fun of him with his friends behind his back.
weird how they're letting streamers run their mouth without a filterthey didnt pay them off to at least sway the public opinion whats gonna happen on launch day? theres no way these same people will suddenly shill the game and talk positive about it, and without streamers the game will be on its last dying breath
>>733880030We are doing a little trollingBLAST that windawg
>>733880030I mean, you gotta do SOMETHING in the game!
>>733879942They’re all like this. Normalfags have absolutely awful taste for these types of games to be as big as they are.
>>733880105I think they had some confidence in it that is not looking like it's gonna bear fruit, but we'll see.When Peanut plays it tonight and hates it it will officially be kill
>>733879995Technically by your logic the player count should go up right now as people are done their work for the day.
feels like it should have been a single player open world game. give the player a central base to depart from/return to instead of multiple disconnected maps with extraction points littered around
>>733880184my ancestor :)
>>733879827>i dont play loot games so i dont like having lootGo fucking play fagathon then. People love hording dumb shit in looter games to show off because its funny. Empty husks like you wouldn't get it.
>>733876536I played two matches, got killed twice by campers and remembered why I hate extraction shooters.
>>733880210People are full resting for tomorrow BLAST, you wouldn't get it
>>733876536>another game by a studio that would rather die than add lolis with guns to their game
>>733878449I wonder if he's going to play Marathon for 4 or for 9 hours.
>>733876617dont care about kike opinions
This thread rn
>>733878449What if Morgan is just an Easy to please dude? I cant really hate him.But we should use him as a quality Index for games
/v/ sisters what went wrong? This game was supposed to be doa
>>733880404By how the numbers dropping, its seems that Marathon players are stopping having fun too.
I keep getting creamed even though I have the drop on people.
>>733878547What's the point when every encounter is KOS
>>733880404Hahaha. I feel bad for Sony right now and am not the least but upset. I actually enjoy seeing these 20 million dollar abominations flip as it's own form of entertainment.
the vibe shift needs to be studied
>>733876536it's great. the lore, the style, the atmosphere, a lot of the mechanics and systems, and the FPS gamefeel is slick as hell. most of the contracts don't even require you to extract, only some specify that. so despite being more hardcore PvP shoot on sight, it's really not that stressful. i take in whatever good loadouts i can and have not done a scav run a single time. but i have the exact same question i had before trying it - why will i be playing it in a year (even less lets be honest)? new games are coming out all the time. it's not like it's all-timer great that you play for just playing, like TF2. especially in today's climate, live service has really gotta hit. it's already build around having seasonal resets, so it's a case of how good that stuff is to get you back in each time, like a Path of Exile league, but i really don't see them going that deep - when the whole premise of this genre seems to be how can we make shit as cheap as possible, oh yeah just a fairly barebones pvp sandbox with recycled assets, and not a whole ass mmo-adjacent game like Destiny.
Expect a big drop in 15 minutes when the euros and streams start moving to the new RE game with more big drops every hour after that
>>733880210it's not even close to prime time for west coast US yet
>>733880469>>6 hours into sitting on an orange juicer and I'm scared of how much fun I'm having
>>733880635I thought that wasn't releasing for 6 hours
sony couldve ported bloodborne to pc but instead we shooter liveservice slop
>>733880635marathon bros?? Is this true?
This game needs to fail. it won't fucking matter if millions buy it then cry "this game sucks!" Sony would be laughing their way to the bank.Don't make the Cyberpunk mistake again. Let this shit bomb like Concorde.
>>733880203>When Peanut plays it tonight and hates it it will officially be killhe liked the game when he played a week or two ago though?
>>733880664Right? And which coast has the highest population?
>>733880696what if I told you the gaming world doesn't revolve around steam?
>>733880714Fuck pc. Enjoy your multiplayer goyslop
>>733879942nah, they are all equally retarded. You play like a boring hobo for 20 minutes, then MAYBE get 30 seconds of excitement before extracting. You take your cool new stuff into the next match, get nuked by a cheater, and lose everything you worked hard to obtain.
>>733880772it's not prime time for either but especially not west.
>>733880814It's the only indicator we have and it's quite accurate to the general state of the game all things considered. Can't count how many times I heard someone say "BUT THE CONSOLE NUMBERS ARE BETTER" about a game, with said game shutting down shortly after
>>733881078Gotcha my bad
>>733880752>access media shill says they like [product] that they got an all expenses paid trip to go play at [corporation head quarters] What? No way!
>>733876536>How's the game so far?its ok, Im glad is free.
>>733880714They said they were going to make 20 live service games and one of them will succeed or they'll die trying
looks pretty fun
don’t know about you guys but personally im having a blast
>>733878449Has our man Morgan Park written a 'Let's not write off Marathon too early' article yet? I hope so
>>733877501I remember you from that other thread yesterday. That tranny thought we were the same person
>>733880404fixed
>>733881153But why they dont make a mobile puzzle game, something like "Tetris Blast" but for women, if they want to print money?Why ruin an obscure fps IP?
>>733880148>you gotta do SOMETHING in the game!I laughed harder at this than I should have
>>733876536This font gives me Bullfrog vibes, is it related to Syndicate? or a Microprose game?
>>733877580>gun game doesn't appeal to THE ball and gun gamersIt's not too late to add a ball in before release. Maybe you can dribble in between shooting?
>>733880506Today's playtest is F2P and Sony spent millions to shill it and they couldn't even break 150k. Think about how bad the numbers will be when you have to pay $40 to be able to play.
>>733881425
>>733876536It's alright for a couple of gaming sessions with frens. Won't buy it, though. I'd rather play Fortnite or Deadlock. Sliding and jumping in these 2 games is at least satisfying, unlike in Marathon
>>733876536am I supposed to lose all my loot in the tutorial when I exfiltrate or did I mess up?
>3 matches>No enemies yet.I don't get it. The PvE seems to suck.
Anyone retarded enough to support Bungie in 2026, ESPECIALLY after the Destiny 2 debacle, deserves to get raped to death.
I have this retarded friend/acquaintance that literally defends every shitty game that comes out.>hurr battlefield 6 is sooo amazing it's soo great>marathon is SUPER COOL SUCH GREAT VISUAL AESTHETICS OMGAnd it literally happens every time. He always picks the games that people end up hating and never admits he's wrong about them.He's also into unfunny jokes, engages in passive-agressive comms with other people using in-game chat (he thinks he's trolling them), and does other cringe shit like singing into mic.Is there a chance such person could ever change?
noticing lots of streamers are playing it without # adwhy didnt bungie pay?
>>733881446They can save the game if they go third person and add skins for the hot lady.They hate money.
>>733881602Going third person would be a last ditch emergency hack, like Highguard enabling 5v5. >>733881601>why didn't bungie paybecause they blew their wad paying for saars to shit all over social media and /v/ for the last week to try to get people interested in the playtest.
>>733881601Everybody is FREEBLASTING
>>733880404>>733881271>>733879920
>>733876536So what's the game about? It says PvPvE, what does that mean? Is it like Hunt Showdown?
>>733876536Shutup chud us blast havers are having a good time.
Is it just me or is the audio really hard to read?
>>733881678I mean, I like the goth bug lady, like come on, is the only good thing on this game.
>>733881730basically. run around wasting the resources you got, in hopes of grabbing more, and praying you don't get murdered when trying to get out. Just with worse balance, performance, and server issues.
I thought this was supposed to be a PVP game? I watched 30 minutes of a stream an literally zero action happened, just running around, picking up items, and reading item icon text from a pretty bad UI.
>>733881730Hunt with more shit to do and faction. Hunt is still godtier though
>>733881278I think they might actually just be retardedit's the shitty "bet on 20 buckets and if breaks into the market losing 19 will have been worth it"
>>733876536/vr/fag here, even if Nubungie were still capable of making a good game and this was the best game they ever made I still wouldn't play it because of how hard it shits on the original series. I can't wait to see this faggot shit flop.
The "tutorial" is horrible. It tells you to CLICK THE DETAILS BUTTON in all caps despite the fact that the buttons don't have labels so you need to mouse over all of them to see what they are. I don't even want to play anymore after leaving the tutorial
>>733877553You Chinese right?
Sub 190k on Twitch now, dropped about 100k from the peak.
Killed two guys then got raped at exil by an npc drop
>>733881601There's some kikery afoot. Not a single one says AD.
>>733881895Right now the flops are my only form of free entertainment.
>>733880404This is a free hooker and everyone is passing her around right now. Lets see what happens when they're asked to pony up $40 when it actually launches
I got nothing to play right now, if it was $20 I would probably buy it but $40? nah.
>>733882057They're contracted to play the game for the launch window, but they're not technically sponsored to play the beta.
>>733881581bf6 beta was pretty fun tho I enjoyed it
I wouldn't know, I don't play extraction shooters.
>>733876536I'm having a blast but fuck Dire MarchAbsolute slog of a map
Game feels dogshit, it looks great but gameplay is literally about picking up random trash that are spent on something you don't know in 10-20 minutes. Inventory fills so fast you loot a building and get out or stay around for more trash you can't carry
Oh okay so Rook is basically a SCAV run.
It's okay.I just did a nice gank where I railed 3 guys.It's pretty unforgiving in solo, but they warn you.It's good, but it is 40 eurodollars good?I'm not sure.
>>733879827nta but if this game lives past 12 months I just fucking know they'll make that junk a core item for some broken shit down the line. let me toggle it at least and stop being a disingenuous faggot.
They did a good job with the aesthetics and design. Very system shock feeling. Problem is I have no idea what I’m doing and the game gives you like two clips of worth of ammo at the start. I didn’t realize you were supposed to buy ammo beforehand but the game didn’t make that clear enough. I think I’ll play more but can’t say it’s really grabbed me yet.
Heroes suck. I hate heroes. Stop forcing heroes into fucking shooting games. This game could be alright if I didn't have to pick a fucking hero with MOBA abilities.
>>733882703I like how the vibe is gross, not visually, but on the concepts.But the game is ass, I wish it was a single player game inside a megastructure
>>733882763>Hero shooter but you get to design them and their abilities
Not my Marathon.
>>733882763>Heroes suck. I hate heroes. Stop forcing heroes into fucking shooting games.This!Remove HeroesAdd SKINS for the hot lady
>>733882763They don’t feel like heroes and the abilities are grounded in sci fi. It’s more like classes in battlefield than the type of heroes in overwatch.
>>733882669Yeah, but ain't that weird?You might as well take a shell and use the free package?
It's a certified BLAST! A complete RETVRN to form for Bungie
>>733876536Obnoxious visual vomit and worse than Tarkov in every way, it'll be really surprising if this gets any type of following.
>>733880612>20 million dollarTry 200 million
I'm BLASTing my urethra with a chopstick rn! Any other Marathon sisters doing this?
>>733882958Yeah it seems a bit superfluous.
>>733882792Let’s say they made it single player halo style campaign. It would probably not do very well given single player fps doesn’t grab the competitive audience. Even Doom the dark ages flopped and that’s an established franchise.
>>733880612>20 million>200 millionBruh bungie has 2 games, deadstiny(with 8k players) and marathon. This is closer to a BILLION dollar flop.
>people are getting home from work>numbers are going down instead of upWhat in the fuck?
They've spent the time to make this crazy looking world, which I like, but you can't interact with anything. Even shooting objects on desks does nothing, all you can do is smash windows. There are neat vehicles everywhere, but you can't drive them. I want to see this dead colony when it was actually working.
>>733883174With such logic the best game to sell is a virtual casino with pornographic imagery and co-op.
>>733883174Probably true, anon.
>>733883282>Entire world is 1 time zone
>>733877501Seriously?That's hilariousThis game is DoA
>>733883282They were sitting at work watching streams and decided before they even got in their car that it was shit. I know everyone where I work at was
>>733883120Just completely BLASTed my colon with a marathon collectors edition their statuette!
>>733883282Does this have any traction with normies at all? Even my geek nerd faggot gamer friends didn't know what this was.
>>733883253>>733883076I have a feeling that the grift is over and there won't be another studio for these leftist freaks to run to
>>733883282Wait, you actually fell for the "when Americans get home it'll be better!" cope? Buddy, it already peaked. It's not going any higher, by the weekend it'll be sub 70k.
>>733883442So far, I've seen people generally shitting on it in the following places:>twitch>steam>x>youtube>any subreddit that isn't the official oneIt doesn't seem to be popular anywhere beyond people begrudgingly saying 'it could be good if they fixed (dozens of parts of it)
VIBE STATUS????
>>733883282Bro you don't get it.The Chinese are at work right now.It's 07:33 AM they are waking up and going to school and stuff12 more hours and you will see some ACTUAL growth.
>>733879827Why is the loot pool inflated with different stacks of renamed credits?
>>733883282It's concordin' time!
>>733883529If it can't beat 150k on the weekend while free, it's dead as disco
>>733883602>VIBE STATUS????BLASTAS IN CHARGEBUY BUY BUY
I feel depressed I was hyped for this the lore the OG series I knowits souless reviving the series but i was still hyped fuck you. I was so hyped and its ao boring, battle royale i get but extractiin shooters this is my first one my team sucks every match i suck the game is boringIll refund
>>733882923they are heroes and no amount of semantic shifting will really change that. the criteria for a 'class' seems to be readily swappable gear, an engineer COULD use a medics defibrillator if he picked it up, or a sniper could use an assault's grenade launcher. or even in tf2's case which is the most edge case class based shooter, a scout could pick up soldier's rocket launcher if he wanted to theoretically. Contrasted with Marathon, the things unique to the characters are baked into their skillset and goofy armor designs. I can't see Vandel using Destroyer's shield because the shield is a part of destroyer's destroyer-ness. Hence 'hero' label.
>>733883282Bungie is retarded and deserves to die but Steam users peak during the midday in California
>>733883625>already lost 30k players from its peaklmao
Are the weapons like >shit assault rifle>good assault rifle>shit smg>good smgEtc.?
i started the game and it froze
>>733883625I legitimately don't even think Highguard dropped this quickly, holy kek
>>733876536just did one extraction. It's kinda boring not buying
>>733876536legitimately do not like it. i wish
>>733883625>A entire generation of game developers hired on around the same time across many studios produced concords one after another
>>733883842Basically, the pistols feel worthless and half the guns you find are just worse versions of other guns that you'll never pick up again after trying them out once.
I can't believe the newest game from the legendary studio Bungie only peaked at 2x Veilguard's peakSurely we'll reach 200k this weekend, right?
>>733883174>Even Doom the dark ages flopped and that’s an established franchise.i think people were just tired of it
I'm likin' solos mode
>>733883959maybe not, it's just a server slam after all, full launch is next week
Playing this game, makes me wish Bungie made a movie or TV series with it instead of this boring slop. Really dig the art style and all that but the actual game is pretty mid. I guess I'll just watch it on youtube so I don't have to buy this game and slog through it.
>Bungie lost the 40 year old boomer WWE wrestling base
>get in cover to reload>die>run out of ammo>you're done>healing takes 30 seconds >dying takes 1
>>733883997They forced parry into the gameplay, along with a multiple of other changes to try and give the game a wider appeal.
Did Concord have a free weekend? I can't remember, if so what were its numbers like.
>>733876536It's difficult even on beginner. You die very easily, it's hard to identify what is and isn't an enemy in the environment and they will get the drop on you, enemies take a lot of ammo to take down and you don't have or find a lot of it so you will run out. Healing is weak and limited and your shields don't recharge on their own. I have now done about 7 runs but have yet to get to the exit. The rest of my team also wipe. I'm not sure where the exit even is.
>>733884176It had a beta, not sure if it was paid or not but it did like 2K.
>>733883382the biggest target audience for this game is, yes.
>>733884176It had an open beta, I feel like I remember it hitting 40k or something?
>>733884176check it out on google.com
>>733884110It is pretty funny that the most interesting thing about the game is the faction intros..>>733884115Can anyone explain to me what there is to gain from playing Destiny for more than 10 hours?
>>733884115Who the fuck is this? I watch wrestling here and there
>>733884115understandble since it's literally destiny but worse
>>733884253 (me)wow fuck my memory >>733884240 is right, https://steamdb.info/app/3011460/charts/
>>733884284>It is pretty funny that the most interesting thing about the game is the faction intros..Yes, and the entire UI, going into the map and all that glitch-tech stuff. Love it. The actual game? Not so much.
>>733883625>1 in 4 people already calling it quits>when the game is freeThis ain't surviving launch day.
On solo the game is seriously unforgiving.
>>733884115>Cherry Picks the perfect tweet from a singular person over millions to abide by their doomer pill brain spam
>play solo to get comfortable with the game>get raped by backs of AI or get jumped after expending all my resources fighting them
>>733883685Sure who cares what you call it. I’m saying it feels like classes in battlefield because none of the abilities have any flash or scale like they do in overwatch or deadlock. The abilities in this are strictly utility based. It’s not like I’m summoning magic fire balls out of the sky.
Bungie went from designing Halo CE back when it was novel to producing this sloppa, it's DayZ except worse
>can't beat Arc Raider's flagging playercount despite being literally free and shilled every single day on /v/ for the last 2 weeks
>>733884176It had an open and closed beta. Open hit like 2300 players. Then it launched and had like 600 people who actually bought and played it before it shut down after 10 days
>>733877580>hot dog ass>wiggersI'm sure Marathon isn't great but why are you posting literal who wiggers on /v/?
>>733876536.....it's out???
>>733884387Even with a team it busts your nuts.
>>733884446They're doing a stress test of the servers. So its basically a free weekend
>>733884396that ques that requires 3 things in a single match, where one of them requires killing a sub-boss is aids. not only are the 3 spots to complete the first step full of humans, but then trying to kill the sub-boss with your weak peashooter is aids. and that will also attract people to fuck you over.
>>733884390This is gamer dad destiny player this is like the #1 demographic Bungie wans
Unbelievable how much better Arc Raiders (indie studio) is better in every aspect. Better enemy design and enemy AI, better gunplay and movement, better art style and environments, better playerbase that actually uses proximity chat and creates emergent moments of dynamic gameplay, fucking vastly superior UI, better soundtrack, and just plain more fun. Not even close
>>733876536You know how people complained that Battle Royales are bad because you spend like 15 minutes looting just to potentially die within 10 seconds in you finally encounter enemy players, forcing you to go back to the menu and join a new game and wait for the loading screens just to do it all over again?Imagine that, but now instead of just loading into a new match, you also have to play this metagame that exists purely in the menus where you have to buy new guns and stuff because you lose every single item on death and your inventory is permanent/persists across matches.In other words, all the downsides of a Battle Royale, but somehow someone figured out a way to make it even WORSE. And this abomination of a genre is called extraction shooter. That said, I've had a bit of fun with it. Not worth $40 though. Not even close.
>>733884450Team members are honestly just a liability. Solo is chill sneaking around doing your objectives.
>>733884446They're doing the server slam, I think.
>>733884410>because none of the abilities have any flash or scale like they do in overwatch or deadlock.>wallhacks, invis, shooting missles>not flashy
>>733884387NPCs should have lowered HP in solo, you literally burn like 60 bullets just to kill a basic squad of robots.
>>733884520Nah teammates can revive you which helps a lot. Unfortunately it also tends to mean that whatever killed you also kills them when they try to save you.
>>733884149>we want the hardcore extraction-shooter audience>"how should we do it?">destiny but worse in every single possible aspectfor what purpose
waiting for the Bungulator's opinion so i can make up my mind on how i feel about it
Can someone make an extraction shooter where if you die you can respawn in the same instance and hunt the guy down that killed you giving you a chance to get your shit back? Why is every shooter game zoomer rules where 1 death means game over?
How much money did sony spend on this again?
>>733884580Maybe it would better with a character select screen like Apex so you can see what everyone else is before you start, and someone will choose medic.
>>733884096That's an exact repeat of Concord>This is just a beta>More people will show up for the full release>Full paid release is a far worse flop than the free betaIt's over.
>what if we just crank contrast to 11 and add random super bright colorful lights everywhere so we don't have to pay devs to make things like textures or shadows
>>7338846293.6 billion for the company with a few hundred million on top to continue funding the game's development
>>733883873It did, Highguard dropped 90% of its peak in like 12 hours. Marathon looks like it'll take a while to kneel
>>7338846693.2bil for Bungie, BIL
>he’s already spamming his steam chart play by playDoes this retard ever touch grass?
>>733884629Because then they would be like every other shooter. The entire point is you have one life, one shot. You're risking everything you have
The streamer breakdowns are hilarious, this game is so shit they actually talk shit
>>733884629the answer to why for anything by aaa corpos is laziness.
LOL
>>733884732I messed up at work today and felt pretty bummed about itAt least I didn't fuck up nearly as bad as whoever at Sony signed the Bungie deal
bro one of the enemies is just the flood?
>>733876536what do you think?
>>733884765>Because then they would be like every other shooterThere is no other shooter like this as far as I am aware that is an extraction shooter with respawning unless an indie game exists like this
I don't think extraction shooters are for me, sisters.
>Fantastic visuals >Sound and music are well done>Shooting feels good, movement is okay, but shit like vaulting has many hiccups so the flow is bad>Actually playing the game results in absolute confusion >What missions should you do >Where should I go? (Map does not have loot rarity labeled >Those alien crawling bugs are buggy as all hell and look ridiculous>Navigating the menu requires a PHD in retarded UI design >Not all robots drop anything, not even a simple thing as some ammo, so why engage >Maps, whilst very atmospheric and beautiful, I just feel bored I've tried Solo, I've tried full party with two friends, and we all just wish we had played Arc Raiders instead. Maybe I'm just very negative, but I will try it some more. Probably not gonna buy it though so glad they had the beta.
The TTK is almost as low as Tarkov's lmao engagements are like 3 seconds long.
>>733884842I'm sure I've heard (ambient flood sneaking around) noises a couple of times.
I keep looking for a fucking Apex replacement in the shooting and movement departmenr AND IT NEVER FUCKING ARRIVES, and im not going backI hate games now
>>733884806they patched this out on the backend btw after it started blowing up
watching summit1g play it. surprised he playing this not as a sponsoredwhole chat been hating on the game nonstop since the start
>>733884906The robots give ammo if you use very specific gun mods. They only exist to be a distraction and resource drain otherwise.
>>733884906do you guys still have to show "engagement" and "negative" and "positive" replies to your posts?Or do they have some new retarded system theses days
>you can't type Arc Raiders into proximity chatLmao
Downloading right now!
>>733884948My son makes me play duos with him lately and 90% of other 'players' are just brain dead bots for you to kill and level up your evo, then you face off with the 1 human squad in the final ring. The game must be totally dead.
>>733885076Lmao really?
>>733884972I choose not to forget that this was a thing and I will hold it over it's head forever
>>733884176Concord had a paid beta first, then a free one a few weeks later. And the free one had fewer people in it than the paid one, which is when the Concordian timeline really began.
does the lore explain the color palette their using?mirrors edge made more sense
>>733885117>>733884806Apparently they did a hot fix on the backend to "fix" this. Just screams insecurity to me.
its no Duskbloods, thats for damn sure
>>733877984>First day F2P Demo can't manage more player numbers then Arc Raiders that's been out for months.Sorry Bungie faggots. It's looking like your company won't be around for much longer. Enjoy it while it lasts.
>>733883076>>733883514What the fuck was sony thinking lmao. Is this the worst acquisition ever?
>>733885101Yeah it used to be a thing in the mobile game but bots were introduced on the main game some time ago...gaming is so fucked man, i blame streamer culture
>>733885043Yeah we at 4chan CO still try to discuss the new shit Bungie game now and then.
>>733876617not here to suck bungies dick of all people but I would be hard pressed to find many people whose opinion on any game's quality I disrespect more than this clown
>>733884771thats what happens when you don't pay them to shill
I love it. First good shooter since hell let loose
>>733885329they were all paid too lmaoonly dr disrespect wasn't i think
Post bangershttps://youtu.be/jkm8qjPbyZ8?si=DlgRZBrMe51BQm_K
>>733885079Uhh anon… why haven’t you updated Highguard yet???
Reached lvl 10 and wiped a squad using way better weapons than me on that match. It's fun, but it's not $40 fun, would see myself checking it every so often if it was F2P or $20 but definitely not $40. It's also super generous, like 4 hours and I already have easy green/blue loot to start matches with instead of the dinky free kits.
Okay, so EST is clearly all chuds! Clearly in 1 hour when everyone gets off work in California the number will go up!!!
Oh… it’s exactly like hunt showdown
>>733879942Tarkov is for milsim autists who want to get 1tapped or want to 1tap others while jerking off to gun autismArc is for goofy niggers who want to bounce around around PvE and then brawl retardsMarathon is just fucking empty, there's NOTHING, aside from guns and animations obviously 1:1'd from Destiny 2.It really doesn't help that everyone playing this fucking game is getting downed by the fucking AI, so there's nobody to fucking kill unless you're playing Rook, which allows random drop in mid match, but doesn't let you progress through contracts
>>733885512>He thinks the illegal immigrant audience is going to play marathon
>>733885512Bro, people in California are already off work. They picked up their kids from school and went home over an hour ago
>>733885696It's 4pm in Cali, what the fuck are you talking about 'went home an hour ago'?
>>733884948>I keep looking for a fucking Apex replacement in the shooting and movement departmenr AND IT NEVER FUCKING ARRIVESSorry anon, new pvp focused games that require any mechanical skill aren't approved by the hivemind. Unfortunately most gaymers now are shitters that load into their first match expecting to play like their favorite streamer, then get rolled and whine about the game on social media
>>733885601>It really doesn't help that everyone playing this fucking game is getting downed by the fucking AIlol yeah the bots are kicking our ass.
>>733885601Who's Hunt Showdown for
having a blast
>>733885164What the fuck do you even call the aesthetic here? Corporate punk? Corporate punk handled by a colourblind artist?Most of the environment is dominated by neutral tones with sporadic splashes of vibrant colour, which is the exact same palette as player characters, making readability a fucking nightmare.>>733885419Is it just more, or is the gun balance awful? It feels like some guns absolutely shred people, whereas others expend an entire magazine just to tickle someone.
>>733885859I enjoyed having cowboy guns and shooting monsters, desu. It's a shame that game got so neglected.
>>733885918I bought the Archne machine gun and didn't look back. Not having to reload as often is the winner.
>>733885918>what do you even call the aesthetic hereclownvomitpunk
>>733885918>What the fuck do you even call the aesthetic here?Nepo baby sneaker collection aesthetic
>>733885918>What the fuck do you even call the aesthetic herefarty mirror's edge
>>733885164>>733885918The aesthetic is supposed to be bright and evocative to make the sort of dystopian space colonial feel seem understated and dark.The real reason though is because they wanted bright stimulating colors to appeal to the fucking Fornite generation
>>733885918Glitchpunk.
>>733885918Come on man, it's called Graphic Realism!!!The Aesthetic of the Future!
Not sure if I'm a big fan of having to call in for your exfil + wait + the 10s escape countdown. If there's only 1 exfil on the map it's just waiting for whoever is desperate enough to move on it first.
>>733885918Glitchpunk or Futuristic Minimalism would suit it best. It's similar to Mirror's Edge or Wipeout in terms of visual identity. I'm a pretty big fan but it's a shame about the game
>>733885859>Who's Hunt Showdown forHowdy /v/, my name is Kenichi Smith.I'm a 27 year old Japanese Toonaholic (Cartoon fan for you foreigners). I draw cartoons and comics on my tablet, and spend my days perfecting my art and playing superior American games. (Halo, Gears of War, Call of Duty)I train with my 1911 every day, this superior weapon can shoot straight through steel because it kicks ass, and is vastly superior to any other weapon on earth. I earned my gun license two years ago, and I have been getting better every day.I speak English fluently, both the Midwestern and the East Coast accents, and I write fluently as well. I know everything about American history and their Constitution, which I follow 100%
>>733884115That's their ENTIRE base.
>>733884110>game with too much style and zero substancemany such cases
>>733885918I've just been calling it Vomitpunk. Anything else gives it to much credit.
>>733886097The sad part is it looks really cool in that expensive animated short they did when the game got revealed. It just doesn't translate well to a video game, or at least not the Destiny 2 engine.
THE RETVRN TO FORM IS PROCEEDING ON SCEDULE
>>733885164It's because everythings 3d printed with bright neon filament and meant to be shit and degrade quickly
>>733886230>looks really cool>retardlookingatcolorcube.webm
>"i wonder how this game looks">check a random stream>guy has used some consumable like 10 times within a minutethis alone puts me off enough to never touch this fucking game

>>733886097>Ghost in the Shell and Aeon FluxDid they watch either?
>>733886097That first trailer with the bleeding shell in the milk had a different look to what we have now, I think it was better.

Will /ournut/ be playing it so i can see the gameplay?
>>733876536What's the verdict, /v/?Why would I play this over Arc Raiders?
>>733876536The gameplay is just plain fucking boring. I played like 6 matches and nothing really stuck out to me as interesting, I was waiting to find something that hooked me or made me go 'oh this is some sauce' but it's just not that game. The only reason I played another match was because my friends were like 'ok lets do another'. Maybe I'm not the target audience here or maybe playing the other map that isn't perimeter makes it more interesting but so far I am very underwhelmed and ready to uninstall. The characters all look fucking stupid, but at least the architecture and set pieces are nice to look at. It gets another try from me tomorrow night and if nothing changes I'm out.
>>733886230they dropped a lot of it because it was obviously ripped offi still remember them getting an infinite amount of shit for it
I don't understand how there's so many people playing it, the tutorial was enough for me to see that the game fucking sucks, I even played a match to see if maybe I was being too judgemental but no, the game is actually just a first-person shit version of arc raiders which already isn't all that special
>>733883625This is the most fun I will have with this gameI LOVE STEAM CHART THREADS
>>733880404This meme is so fucking trash cause its always the opposite thing happening. Drawing "friends" doesnt prove your point right.
>>733886230Yes i enjoyed that trailer. I want to know about the colony now, not some retard hackers fighting over junk they find.
Didn't Sony pay 4 billion for Bungie to release this turd
>>733886379kill yourself at your earliest convenience please
>>733886379Yes. Then he will go back to playing Arc Raiders when his viewership nosedives because the games trash and not even remotely as emergent or fun to play. No one even uses prox chat in that game.
>>733885918>What the fuck do you even call the aesthetic here?Transgender glitterpunk
>>733886578More normal looking than I thought, but he's just kind of annoying. Not enough for me to hate him, but enough to not care.
>>733877795kek this is why so many ps5's have sold but nobody buys games for it
>>733886658>chuds want color due to too much brown and bloom>they get color>uhhh actually color is trans.you just dont like videogames. you haven't liked them for the last 20 years.
>>733881446150k on pc, how many on consoles idiot
>>733886459I like how in this meme you're still piss mad.
>>733886230It looks even better as graphic designer in posters and other templates, but alas that was stolen shit
>>733886481>A colony ship comes back after 100 years of radio silence with an ominous message>Uhhhh go loot it I guessIt wouldn't be modern Bungie without an absurd amount of wasted potential
Deadlockbros...
>>733886693He's the only streamer that has ever actively entertained me. That is a very low bar thoughbeit, but still impressive none the less.
>>733880558nah their fun is more likely to start once they alt+f4 from marathon actually
>>733886752this, the intro cinematic made no god damn sense. and the marathon isn't even an asteroid ship, its just a space ship wearing some asteroid bits.
Played on the PS5 and I tried a first run. Two of my team members went off on their own. I was able to figure out and complete the first main contract. So I extracted while the other two team members got killed by either NPC or another team, which I was sure there was one, since the camera at the end showed another guy playing. It wasn't very fun and I wanted to keep exploring but I wasn't sure if I was at risk or not. Will try more later tonight.
>>733876536Lmao looks like siva won in the end and NUbungie is finished
I genuinely wonder why you fags even care if this game is a hit or not. It's not like BG3 being woke didn't stop trump from being president or anything.
This is really important, does Marathon do multiple waves of players or is there actually hard limit like in Tarkov where there's the PMC group and the SCAV group?
>not enough resources >inventory management >no vehicles >stamina >can't choose where you start >only 2 guns at a time knives including Are all extraction shooters this unfun or des marathon suck?
>>733884115>ive played destiny for 12 yearslmfao. everyone just point and laugh
>>733886893I want to see Bungie shuttered
>>733886340as on of the biggest ghost in the shell fans do not even get me started...
>>733886893I hate gaming
>>733886727Even if it's 2x on PS it could not justify the 3 BILLION Sony spent buying Bungie.
>>733876536it's not even close to concord or veilguard tier but it's still an extraction shooter which is gonna filter most people by default. really not worth playing solo but i could see it being fun with a squardidk why people are chimping out about the UI aesthetic, that's like the only interesting thing about the game
>>733885918microplastics
>>733886578>No one even uses prox chat in that game.this one is the thing that shocked me the mostnot even a single person called me a nigger despite me doing the most rage inducing last second snipes/kills from extraction
>>733887025Thats because the people who play marathon are hugbox loving trannys
>>733886459To be fair, of the few posts by /v/tards who shit on the game after claiming to have actually played it did so solo, or loaded into a trio with randoms kek
>>733886893Firstly because I enjoyed Marathon (Original) and I'm sad to see the brand name and aesthetic wasted on a desperate GAASlop cashgrabSecondly because they made a massive point of redirecting most of the company's resources and talent into making this game, yet it's come out more barebones than the games it's copying
>>733886727Im getting yasuke deja vu
>>733886914All of them are like that
>>733886893there are people who will eternally hate every bungie product because they sold out to sony and left halo to be ruined by 343
>>733887194I'll just go back to fortnite then
>>733887291Understandable, Fortnite is actually much more fun than Marathon.
>>733887182>yet it's come out more barebones than the games it's copyingI never played ARC, what makes this more barebones? it definitely feels like it is missing something but i just assumed that's how extraction shooters are
>>733879942Arc Raiders is the only fun extraction shooter and I will die on this hill to hold that opinion.
what even is beginner mode? Like 2 people on the map? I spawned in, looted some stuff, and then I went to a different spot and it clearly looked like someone else was there but they didn't loot anything?
I feel like a goy in a rat maze playing this game. I’m out.
>>733884284>Can anyone explain to me what there is to gain from playing Destiny for more than 10 hours?Use to be like Diablo where you were constantly chasing godrolls on procedural drops but then the gay retard in charge of it turned it into a card battle gacha game but instead of cards its exotics and faux exotics. It must be extremely frustrating for its playerbase to have their thing constantly fucked with for no reason until they're all driven out. I dropped it after only playing one season as soon as the only weapon I liked was no longer viable, zero fucks given never played it again bungie can suck my dick and I still wouldn't touch that shit. Its unplayable with the voice acting and subtitles on dear god. It was protoconcord.
>>733887281>there are people who will eternally hate every bungie product because they sold out to sonyThis but Microsoft
>>733886729Im mad at its template cause its the same as the "Im gonna draw you ugly and obnoxious and me as a smug guy so im right." comics.
>>733884115>I've played destiny weekly for 12 years
>>733883442My zoomer nephew and his friends who loved arc raiders have never even heard of Marathon until I asked if he was going to try it. Small sample size but kinda telling. They loved Tarkov too
Comfy for solo play
why the FUCK did bungie make this an extraction shooter instead of a regular shooter with a flashy campaign and some classic halo style multiplayer. Are they retarded?? This game oozes style and there is obviously some really neat lore here, but extraction shooters just fucking suck ass. It's like being at work every second you're playing.
>>733886893I don't give a single fuck if this game is "woke". Sony closed Japan Studios to fund live service slop like this, Concord, and Fairgame$. Spending actual billions of dollars on this, while the studio that made some of my favorite games ever was seen as unprofitable. I simply want to witness the destruction, or very radical restructuring of Playstation.
Why the fuck do Rook runs put you in group lobbies?
the slowest most boring game i've ever played holy shitwhy am i supposed to like this
>>733887458>It must be extremely frustrating for its playerbase to have their thing constantly fucked with for no reason until they're all driven outIt's pretty much this. I played Destiny from release and it's blatantly obvious Bungie didn't have an actual cohesive vision for the game. Since House of Wolves they've just been flip-flopping on waht to add/change/remove based on what reddit and jewtubers said
>>733876617Shill faggot
>engage with invisible AI nigger you didn't see>aggro a bunch of them>survive with no ammo>XxxPurpieKushAnalPlugxxX shoots you in the back with his console autoaim with even less time to react than Arc Raiders Nice "game"
>>733876536What does this game have to do with the original games?
>>733884732>3.2bil3.7 actually.
>>733887542This is a part of larger trend of putting triple A singleplayer game visuals and storytelling into multiplayer games, traditionally multiplayer games had a lo-fi budget look to them. Marathon and Deadlock are the two big ones.Which is weird because playing a sweatfest shooter, giving a fuck about lore or map design is the last thing anyone cares about.
>>733887691name and some lore
>>733887691Fuckall.
>>733886145>WipeoutIt hurts man...
>>733876536It's going as expected
>>733887710idk if you can really compare deadlock to this slop because it's actually fun and feels good to play
>copy ALL the gun mechanics, animations and mobility from Destiny>it's barebones and fucking boringWhy didn't they just go back to their roots and make a Firefight PvE game, like they did with Halo ODST?Firefight would be perfect for this kind of shooter, and it would be fresh considering there hasn't really been a dedicated Horde mode genre since Gear of fucking Wars.
>>733887691You're looting shit from the guys of the first game, because the corposhits you work for tried to get in on their turf and got btfo.
>>733884284>Can anyone explain to me what there is to gain from playing Destiny for more than 10 hours?melee slamming a retard into a wall and shooting him in the head with a revolver literally cannot get old
It's a shame, the cinematics give a good grimy cyberpunk vibe but the in game visuals look like fischer price with trannies running around
>>733876617>shilling OUR COMBAT SYSTEM ISN'T AS GOOD AS DEVIL MAY CRY'S
>>733887792>also bluescreen your PC
>>733887542Sony. Sony bought them and forced them in this direction. Sony is to blame for most of these Concord-like games recently. They were developing line fucking 20 of them or something all at the same time.
>>733884284Destiny is the only FPS were Raids required critical thinking skills and a functioning team.
>>733887627Every person I've killed died so fast they couldn't react, and every time I've been killed I died so fast I couldn't react. Complete meme-tier TTK.
>>733885918>is the gun balance awful? It feels like some guns absolutely shred people, whereas others expend an entire magazine just to tickle someoneyeah it's weird, i have a few pistols that do more per shot damage than any of my ARs or SMGs. in a game like this where ammo takes up previous inventory space and is expensive to buy, guns that do low damage with high fire rate are fucking worthless
>>733887803aesthetics and gameplay are 2 different things, it's relevant to compare the two on the basis of production values. Obviously not gameplay.
>>733887691The people from the ship in the original game created the colony in this game. Everyone on the colony disappeared, you basically play as freelance raiders working for factions picking through the ruins
>>733886727Oh, if we're already the 'b-but the console players!' cope, things aren't looking good.>>733886578>prox chatIsn't this disabled by default and you have to manually enable it because Bungie doesn't want people to hear no-no words?
>>733887542It's far harder to monetize a singleplayer campaign game. Gotta sell those skins bro
>>733887792>>733887883nigger stop advertising your AI gen'd shit here
>>733881978Fantastic English, sir.
>>733887998No you choose when you start the game the first time
Are there any enemies besides the gay robots and crabs?
>>733884732>>733887709How do they even recover from this?
>>733886097>Graphic Realismthat is such a shitty generic name for this. the bright colors feel especially out of place for a style described with "realism"
>>733887816So very loose lore connections, I take it? If this game did anything good, it's making me consider playing the original trilogy instead of this shit.
>>733887841Everything but the game itself looks great. Took this pic earlier and it's just bland and washed out even on the highest settings (shown here)The only time the game did look good though was when it raining at night and some lightning struck, that was pretty neat
>>733887710I gave up trying to understand what logic these inhuman space aliens use to design games when they started shoehorning token collection crafting everywhere it didn't belong just because of Minecraft. I logged into elite dangerous thinking I'd be playing a cool space sim adventure game but no fuck me its 90% token collection crafting like that other gay retard space game where you play one of six nonbinary genderqueer xhe aliens with playskool gear and shoot aliens with nerf guns that make teletubby noises. Absolutely cursed genre just like FPS now.
>>733887710it is pure laziness. It takes 10x more time and talent to produce a single player campaign. Just look at the ai in marathon. it all uses the same behaviour tree.
>>733884115Grok, show me his Trials Report, his Raid Report, and his vault.
>>733888064Also note this was just to buy the studio, and doesn't include the cost of paying them to develop it for 5 years.
>>733886340the character with the visor looks lifted right out of GITS (except for the colors)
>>733886097>the aesthetic of the future is androgynous slants with bart simpson hair spikes and clown shoes
>>733887960I ran into someone as they were fighting bots and they instantly switched to shooting me. I died faster than the bots before I could react to it being a player shooting at me.
is it just me or is the shooting fucking bad too?
>>733888093Nice N64 fog
>>733888093feels weird/dumb to put Printer Toner aesthetics just for characters/buildings but not for things like the ground, rocks, sky, etc.
>>733876536got all of this on a single solo run
Feels extremely style over substanceThe UI designer needs to be taken out back and shot
>nobody in the lobby brings a green shield>they all get 1TAP ko'd by a sniper rifle shot to the headLMAOgame is okwould maybe buy it if it was like $15 or maybe even $20 if a friend got it tooat $40? nah, no thanks
>>733876536Played it for 2 hours. Camped extract and knocked 3. Uninstalled because the UI is horrible and you move like a fatass.
>>733888093I can't help but think the bright colors would look better in some kind of TRON VR digital world instead of outside in a realistic setting with grey rocks and brown grass. It's like a clown going on a walk.
>>733888256brother, everyone who played D2 crucible could tell you the 'gunfeel' from halo was completely absent when you weren't shooting at bullet sponge enemies and Marathon is just D2 crucible+.
>>733888058aliens on the last map
>>733888093I see what aons are saying. If everything is neutral colors and neon how the fuck are you supposed to see a neutral color and neon player 500 yards away from you?
>>733888064I don't think it's mathematically possible. It would literally require Bungie to accidentally make the next Fortnite/Arc, which they clearly just failed to do with Marathon.
>>733888339The person who did the design is the only person on the team that seemed to actually care about this shitty game
>>733888336what am i supposed to be looking at?
>>733888336cool i guess? I mean you couldn't pay me to play marathon but enjoy.
>>733888093that reminds me of sonic frontiers with the all the colorful, goofy main characters interacting with a super realistic world
This feels like election night 2024 when it was all laid bare in hours.
>>733888438>>733888421this is meant for ppl playing the game its a pretty significant haul
>>733888336How are you supposed to know what any of that atari garbage is without mousing over it constantly to read a bunch of bullshit?
>>733888379>It's just D2 Crucible.So the worst PvP shooting experience I've ever played in my life. Sweet good to know.
>>733876536Graphics good it has a vibe now but gameplay is abysmal. It has no gameplay identity.
>>733888336>LOOK AT ALL THE SCRIMBLOS I FOUND WHILE EXFILLING LADS FR FR NO CAP THIS SHIT BUSSIN'
>>733888475You only need to play for about 20 hours before you memorize all the various loot and symbols.
>>733888465respect anon
>>733888336how do you parse all these squares from the other squares
>>733888336Yeah and now your vault is full so you can't keep it lmao.
>>733888336Visual vomit
>>733888421A bunch of stuff you lose instantly when another player kills you
>>733888556>You only need to play for about 20 hoursGood luck getting anyone to do that.
>>733888605Its easy. for starters, all the guns have little black sword icons. Its all very intuitive.
>>733888336The gun designs are so fucking stupid. Titanfall will be the last series with future gun designs that placate a gun autist like me.
>>733888336>183holy fuck how long were you in the round
>>733888475its color coded with its rarity? its pretty simple, never played wow or a blizzard game? color coded look is pretty standard>>733888626actually just got the vault upgrade so im fine>>733888752i like um
>>733888752most AAA shooters these days are made by people who hate guns so
>>733888814Your taste is garbage
>>733888695>little black swordsi feel like im being treated like a retarded goy right now
Two problems I had besides the game sucking and being ugly1. Where is the stamina bar or indicator that shows how many jump boosts you have, because I looked all around the screen didn't see it2. Why when you try to leave a game after dying and being warned you will lose your items does the screen just close when you click on it and not let you leave?
>>733888814>It's color coded rarityIs green and blue supposed to be good now?
>>733876536I loved Destiny, so naturally I'm interested in Marathon. Yet, my first impressions are that the game doesn't fucking work, so it's not worth your money if the studio can't even QA their new demo out a week before launch.
>>733876617>WEARATHONGoh nononono
>>733888876why am i supposed to give a shit what some retard online tells me lol
>>733888890I was joking I think its a retarded game made by and for retarded people
>>733887883>battleyeGood lord they picked the absolute WORST anticheat on the market. This game is DOA now. Cheaters everywhere.
>>733888983Lol you're not me
>>733876536>could've made a single player campaign with mirror's edge like art style>new story, new setting. its a successor to Haloof course that would require actual creative talent which bungie ran off long ago. on purpose for woke agenda. this is all on purpose the rothschilds suing valve, new york AG getting involved to try to take them down because they're the last "AAA" developer that isn't publicly traded. this is why the future is indie development.
Arc Raiders map design makes this game look 10 years older than it is.
>>733888940I think the rarity scale is white common, green uncommon, blue rare, and purple very rare.
>>733888605>>733888336I'm going to try guessing. How close was I anons?
>>733889159what this anon said, this has been industry standard in many games since WoW?>>733888876why are you so angry lol
>>733888028>Le gramorThere is no one more anal about grammar of the certain language than those who don't speak it natively
>>733889230Pretty good but there's no crafting in Marathon. You exchange those for useful items from vendors.
>>733889096I'll fill anons here in on a little secret. The mass layoffs in the gayme industry weren't the DEI hires or jeets, it was the last of the old guard that can actually code and traditional graphic artists. You have no idea how bad its really going to get and your tax money is going to subsidize it, the concordian saga has only just begun.
>>733889230you basically got it exactly correct, the equipment is just like an acid grenade though, cores are like modifiers/stat buffs, the "pocket" is the backpack, very high rarity>>733889371the is pseudo crafting through faction upgrades, need mats for um.
>>733889295colored loot is always 100% from diablo 1, not WoW.
>>733889230Honestly pretty close, grenades and equipment are the same thing, and the cores are character specific buffs you can implement The dildo is ammo btw lmao
>>733888814>21 minutes>2 bot kills>2 player killswhat the fuck, did you just sit in stealth 24/7
>>733889419yea i initially said blizzard but i believe it became more mainstream when wow blew up
>Yet ANOTHER thread full of tards that don't play games seething out of their minds over this gameHow did bungie pull off a game that elicits this level of derangement out of fake gamers?
Too early to say if it's the best game I've ever played but it's worth your time and investment. I'm having a blast with this title.
>>733889446Not him but it's pretty common not to see any other players for long
>>733889446He walked around for 20 minutes pressing E on boxes. The marathon experience.
>>733889446im pretty experienced bc i played in the tests, i play slow and listen and then ambush basically, killing bots unless you have a contract can be bad because it alerts other players nearby, so i typically stealth, do my quest quickly, run out
>>733888752That blue rarity battle rifle looks like something from a sci-fi guns pack on the Bedrock Minecraft marketplace.
>>733889446He ran around looking in containers and reading item descriptions for 20 minutes. Every 5 minutes he actually shot something. Truly riveting gameplay
This was not a good first impression. If this is indicative of what the full game is like, it's DOA. If, somehow, the actual game is better then it was very stupid to present it this way. Arc Raiders really ate their lunch here
>>733889378so what we see as the middle of the concordian timeline is just the beginning of the concordian era.
Concord 3.0 (Highguard being 2.0)
>>733889446>>733889538>>733889561>>733889572i also want to add i am a giant rat fuck and will happily camp one spot for 20 minute straight (did this many times in the tests)
>>733888921>staminaIt's the head bar, right in the center below your reticule>I dont know, been downed a couple times and just gave up seeing my teammates also getting mowed down and it worked fine.One thing I do have is when I start the game, it takes about 3 minutes for the mouse icon to actually work. Like the game doesn't recognize it for a while for some reason.
>>733889378I believe this also. we haven't even begun to see the DEI hellscape that is being unleashed now since those games were all in development
How did this cost over a billion dollars to make???????
>>733876617I wonder if Jaffe will realize that if he keep giving negative reviews he'll get free /v/ views.
>can't be the premiere console extraction shooter because arc>can't be concord 2 because Highguard stole it from themlol?
game is similar to deadlock imo in that it needs a few good games for it to click, if you get raped in your first matches i can see why you would dislike it
>>733889484>thread about anons laughing at marathon>you're all just retards who don't play games and you're seething!I thought you shills all committed suicide after the game failed to break 150k players?
>>733884629>Can someone make an extraction shooter where if you die you can respawn in the same instance and hunt the guy down that killed you giving you a chance to get your shit back? Why is every shooter game zoomer rules where 1 death means game over?Dr Disrespect game (yes, that guy) Had exactly that, but Twitch had to run its carreer.I think it was called "KillDrop"
>>733889818where'd u get that number
>>733889561>>733889719i mean eh, whatever floats your boatpersonally i just rush headfirst towards the first thing the millisecond i hear a crow/gunshot/footstephad an okay time, but probably not gonna get it at 40 eurodollarsfeels like it's going to be too barebones
holy fuck 3.8 billion is so much money
How are controller users feeling about the game?
>3.8 billion dollar failure
>>733889924Concord cost over $400 million, Destiny 1 cost $500 million, and Destiny 2 cost $700 million. It's not an unfair assumption to make that development for this could have been close to a billion. Now tack that on to the over 3.5 billion Sony spent just buying the studio. The failure of this game might actually be more legendary than Concord.
>>733889937having played to the 3rd map in the tests the progression is quite deep actually
>>733890070I tried it on controller first but because ammo is so limited and the enemies are tough and it's harder to aim accurately with a controller, I had to switch to mouse controls to actually have a chance at landing hits on target before you run out of ammo or die.
>>733890274but realistically you have no idea
>>733890507Correct, it's an assumption for sure. What we know for sure is Sony gambled over 3 billion buying the studio after seeing this, and I just don't see that being profitable.
>>733890594Nah, bro. Destiny 3 in 10 years will definitely make that all back.
>>733890594The real value came from Bungie giving them advice on all of Sony's upcoming live service games. Like Concord
>>733890918Going to Bungie for live service advice is like going to the first ever guy who scammed people into buying NFTs 3 years after NFTs are done and paying him 3 billion dollars to create a new profitable NFT for you. His skill wasn't being smart or innovative it was just luck for being one of the first
>>733888336damn look at all those indistinguishable objects what a comeup
>>733884110Yeah, I'm getting the feeling this is something I'd enjoy engaging with through some youtuber's lore videos than I would by actually playing the thing.
>>733890918and cancelling TLOU Online which would have been bigger than arc raiders
>>733891495>TLOU
>>733891570TLoU gameplay with no faggot story in a multiplayer environment would literally have been arc but better. Factions was always kino
>>733877984>>The narrative is extremely interesting.
there has to be some serious money laundering going on here. these games have multi hundred million dollar budgets and look worse than games like helldivers 2 made with a comparatively tiny budget and team. the voice lines are AI generated also I heard. where is the money going??
Jesus christ why is there not an option to clear the fucking keybinds? I have to either bind keys I don't want to some key I don't use or I have keys that have multiple actions on it. And editing the xml file doesn't do shit either! It's fucking retarded Bungie you hacks!!!
>>733891862>the voice lines are AI generated also I heardThat's arc raiders, not marathon.
