BLAST bros, are we having a?
>>733892473Modern Audience Blast trannies are too busy dilating to buy anything.
>>733892473I just blasted my cock off!
Currently running it down in Tau Ceti IV while simply in awe of the complete return to form Bungie managed to brilliantly pull off

BLAST STATUS???
>>733892473blastards....NOW...IS...OUR...TIME
>>733892473yes i unironically like it and its filtering ADD riddled le jolly cooperation arc freaks in real time
>>733892473Im having a BLAST, but I dont know if its a "$40 deal kind of BLASTENING" so far
Oh god homies...Oh Jesus...I'm gonna...I'M GONNA...BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAST
>>733892473I stopped playing for tonight after finally completing a run. Got lucky with my squadmates who seemed to know where to go and what to do to get the quests and we managed to fight our way out again. Running out of ammo is a really big issue and I don't think you get given enough compared to how tanky the enemies are. After the first day of playing it I'm not really having that much fun but maybe once I learn the game better who knows. Might give it another go on another day of the slam but dunno about buying it.
>>733892473>Not good enough to actually enjoy>Not dogshit enough to meme about
>>733894604Concord and Highguard will be remembered through memes and cultural impact. Bungie's Marathon reboot will be completely forgotten. Incredible.
>>733892473It's violently midAsking 40 dollarinos for it is criminal though.
I´m not experienced with extraction shooters, but for me this game asks for way too much preparation for 10 minutes of mid shooting gameplay in which you may lost everything you are carrying. Also: abilities, consumables, passives and other things that matter little cause you get clapped in two seconds
>>733894771It could be a 7/10 but it's still cursed with horrible energy surrounding it
is there even anything that sets it apart from other extraction shooters or is it just tarkov with 10x the cubes and plastic?
>>733894839>I'm not experienced with extraction shooters>preparation for 10 minutes of mid shooting gameplay in which you may lose* everythingAnon...I hate to break this to you...
>>733894839>10 minutes of mid shooting gameplay in which you may lost everything you are carrying.congratulations, you're now an expert on extraction shooters.
>>733894880It was supposed to be the memberberries Marathon vibe and kooky art style but now we know they lifted that from some tranny's DeviantArt page.
>>733894839the genre is not for you

Bungie should have copied The Division's game formula but First Person and they would have made a perfect game to appeal to their Destiny audience and their new "Extraction Shooter" audience.>Large portion of the game is Linear story Looter Shooter RPG you can play Co-Op and in squads.>Because the game has a natural progression to End-Game and a story you can afford spending all this time buying expensive Voice Actors and putting all these cool animations into the game naturally.>Skill trees, gear sets, weapon customizations. All the works.>End-Game revolves around running Missions/Dungeons on different difficulties/world tiers. Including larger player raids.>End-Game also centers around an Extraction Shooter-Lite PvP area in a couple locations in the open world. Makes for engaging and dynamic encounters but also PvE babies don't have to engage with if they don't want to.They literally could have made the perfect game and not alienated their original playerbase.
>>733895151>Do other extraction shooter have these many RPG elements?Yeah I mean some of em. Dark and Darker was an RPG extraction hack-and-slasher.>>733895220Dark and Darker.
>>733894717Marathon will probably be remembered for being the thing that killed Bungie
rangeban whole india
>>733895231true, but consider how much more money they could make trend chasing, the potential for infinite profit is insane according to investors.
>>733895231so basically the same thing except you dont lose loot when you die, at least, not until you unlock extraction mode at 500 hours
>>733894839Go in with free kits>worst case>someone shoots you in the back>lose borrowed gear>sad for 1min>best case>you kill somebody with a fuck ton of gear and extract safely>feel like a godOne small pieces of advice, just KOS, unless you hear someone on the mic. nobody talks in this game, everyone has a panic attack.
>>733895406In The Division you can play Dark zone before End-Game but it's mostly an End-Game activity because it's a bit risky for weapons that'll get replaced at a higher level.
>>733895151You found corposlop art interesting?
Its really need a campaign where the hot lady boss you around on comms
>>733895830Marathon's artstyle can be called many things but it safe corposlop it certainly isn't. I got no fucking idea of what the hell they are trying with that garish look they went with for the game, but it is not the typical safe, corporate aesthetic we see in shit like Highguard or Concord that were basically just aping off Overwatch aesthetic with more diversity and "quirky" paintojob.Marathon looks like some weird, scifi/cyberpunk graphic novel with it's extremely garish designs and color choices. I can't really place a finger on what it reminds me of, but I'm certain I've seen something like it before, but I wouldn't associate that aesthetic with corposlop.Not that I find the aesthetic good mind you, I find it rather off putting.
>>733895545>just KOS, unless you hear someone on the mic. nobody talks in this game, everyone has a panic attackNo it's usually safe so long as you don't shoot them. Not everyone has a microphone or wants to use it but there is also text chat on Enter which is useful. Saying "Hi" at the start of the run to your squadmates and telling them where you need to go and so on tends to make them help you out a lot more.
>>733892802More like 3 months. They goofed hard on the budget and went around $300mil in the hole after paying all the streamers and access media shills
Tried it out. Love the art, music, and world. I wish this was a single player game instead of yet another boring online shooter. Not gonna buy
How come my teammates suck every time
>>733897643This is really the only thing holding it backIf it was a normal shooter with an offline campaign and live multiplayer it would be a best sellerI’m debating getting it still but I hate supporting dogshit online practices
>>733897643I think going from the fancy trailer to finding out it was multiplayer only extraction slop was the fastest I'd ever gone soft. What a missed opportunity.
>>733897773don't forget that since progress and gear provide stat improvements, after the game has been out for a few weeks, you'll just be NPC mook in some Chad's game
Marathon is not for the faint of heart
>>733898012The game is actually hard and you will die often which means you easily lose all your gear. You are basically forced into only ever taking the rental gear so you don't keep losing everything when you almost inevitably die in the run.
>>733898071yeah, 42 km is no joke
It's so peak fr fr on god.
is there any extraction game WITHOUT pvp? does that even exist?
>>733898809There's that Duckov indie game.
>>733898809arc raiders if you sandbag enough to get into daycare lobbies, the downside is that you have to play arc raiders in daycare lobbies
>>733898809tarkov has a pve mode
Bungie lostChuds won
>>733898393Actually, I was referring to the video game. Hardcore PvPvE style gameplay? Sign me up.
>destiny players cleaning up everyone elseI THOUGHT THIS GAME WAS GONNA MAKE DESTINY KIDS CRY??? Chudbros....
>>733898809There are single player ones, but I personally find them lacking. An example is Incursion Red River, and I think Forever Winter too. There's also that one top-down pixel game and Misery, both inspired by Stalker
this feels like an incredible return to form for bungie
>>733898809Duckov and tarkov
>>733899890Are you having a blast? I'm having a blast and preordering.
>>733899890the form in question

>>733893319>Fortnite

>>733899890i know you're memeing but even as a cookie cutter extraction shooter, this shit is miles better than fucking destiny. doesn't touch halo 1-3/reach tho
>>733895279>the thing that killed BungieI hope so, I want them to lose their jobs and troons to have a meltdown so they kill themselves
I've got like 5 hours so far. It took a while to figure out what was going on, what stuff is, figuring out the basics. It's growing on me. Funny thing is I'm losing more to the bots than I am the people so far
>>733904718>It's growing on meYeah it might be one of those games. Will try it again on another day now that I have more of an idea of what you're meant to do.
>>733904718BLAST status?
I tried it for ~one hour and didn't enjoy it.The gunfights are average, most items you pick up are junk, the npcs are blind, most people just rush to the extraction.
Peaked at 140k and already below half that. Probably won’t be as bad as Concord/Highguard but at best they’re going to end up with Destiny’s player count 8-20k which is as good as dead. If it doesn’t die at launch then Bungie’s hubris will kill it off soon enough.
>>733894717>completely forgotten.its already infamous for all of bungies fuckery
>>733895231this is literally just destiny
I like it well enough but it's hard to gauge without prox chat working. I don't think it is condusive to the emergent moments that Arc has, but it's a solid foundation to build off of. Game is fine, the hate against it feels very not organic
>>733892473Two hours in an I have to say this will probably survive for about a year or two then get shut down. Generic gun play, too high TTK and the art style is eye bleeding. Ark Raiders kinda beat it to the punch and now it is just going to shamble on like the corpse it is while Bungo drones keep it standing.
Why can you only do one quest at a time. This is actually retarded
How about Marathon but it's Co-op focused vs the robots? That might work.
>>733905950blasted in my pants
>>733906353Yea more or less. They had a lot of similarities but The Division had the Dark zone which was infinitely better then Destiny 's fucking awful PvP.
>>733906565It largely is already. I haven't fought other players much as it's risky and you need all your resources just to get to your objective alive and out again.
>>733898809Helldivers 2. Drop in, knock out a bunch of objectives, collect samples, extract.
>>733906889Now that you bring it up, Helldivers 2 is like a extraction shooter, but focused solely on pve
I'm surprised that people are excited for this shit. EFT blows all these games out of the water.
>>733908060no it's not. I'm tired of seeing retards say this. it's no more an extraction shooter than DRG or L4D. You just end missions in a safe roomyou are not collecting or losing potential gear, and samples are basically just crafting material
>>733908215It's easy to pass what your replying to off as bait for me because it's the internet, let alone 4chan. But I had someone try to tell me helldivers 2 was an extraction shooter earlier today.I think I lost a bit of myself.These people are real.They actually exist.
>>733898809Forever Winter, but it's still quite the work in progress.
>>733896182Mirrors Edge
>>733896182It's a bit of Mirror's Edge and graphical design somewhat similar to Wipeout to a degree. What i'm absolutely livid about is wasting such a visual style on multiplayer GaaS slop, when they could have just done both the franchise and the game more justice by making it an actual videogame. Now it just feels like an empty shell of a prototype where the rest of the game is filled in with other players and even that is quite barebones.
I gave it ~3 solo rounds and ~5 rounds with random non-crossplay (so it's PC only) autofill rounds and I am honestly not feeling it.Surprisingly more PvE focused than Arc Raiders but the enemies aren't as interesting to fight and the PvP TTK is waaaaaaaaaay too fast for a game like this.I wasn't feeling it after two hoursBLAST, I am not having.
Are we having it?
>>733892473Everything is fucking red green or cyane, it made me nauseous
>>733910132Wipeout and Mirrors Edge are very good comparisons actually. Honestly the aesthetic is the least of the game's problems from what I've seen of it.
>>733896182>Marathon looks like some weird, scifi/cyberpunk graphic novel with it's extremely garish designs and color choices. I can't really place a finger on what it reminds me of, but I'm certain I've seen something like it before, Metal Eden?
why didn't they just make a single player shooter kino
>>733914509>bungie>kinocmon now
>you are a brain in a jar who pilots a robot so you are in no danger>woah tau ceti so dangerous how will you survivewhy would I care I just build a new body
>>733899745Why must these people make their sexuality and race their whole personality?You must be an incredibly boring person to do that.
>>733914928>Why must these people make their sexuality and race their whole personality?Well, he doesn't. He also has the whole weightlifting, dog owning and Pokemon thing going on.
>>733915008Let's talk about how his sexuality is the first thing (also in the banner too, along with BLM) on his profile.Also unfortunately I don't consider picking up and putting down things, owning an animal, or liking a childrens franchise adequate.
>>733896805how can a game this bare bones and generic gameplaywise cost 300mil?
>>733915094Makes me wonder what I would put on a social media bio. "Movie enthusiast, lover of huge fake tits, can cook a decent Jambalaya"?I'm glad I'm not expected to have a web presence.
