Marathon lost so many players it's now tied with High Guard's best and continuing to drop
>>733901545Bro, it's a FREE OPEN SERVER TEST. Not a measure of anything and you should taking it seriously. Hell, those won't even be Marathon's number because it's a different entry in the database.
>>733901628>this is marathon if it was freeTHATS EVEN WORSE LMAO????
>>733901628>FREE OPEN SERVER TEST.wrong shill. It's a Server SLAM test and with under 100k players you aren't slamming shit.
I spend all day watching steam stonk charts instead of playing vidya
>>733901545It is bedtime in the most active market.
>>733901628I legit forgot this shit is going to cost 40 bucks
>>733901763>once again shills forgetting Australia and Asia exist
Who cares about playercount, we SHOULD be talking about how extremely slow the gameplay is. It looks like you're playing Halo Reach.
I AM HAVING A BLAST. I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU TOXIC HATERS SAY I AM HAVING A BLAST. THE GAME IS GOOD.
It will hit 500k on the weekend, its just a work/school day night right now
>>733901983This. I'm having a blast with the test. I know for a fact it's gonna blow up on the weekend.
STOP THE COUNT
>>733901927>Halo developers make a game that plays like HaloIsn't that exactly what players would want?
>>733901628>It will have more players after RE9 and WoW Midnight comes out>It will have more players when it costs $40KEK
AIIIEEEEE
predictions on all time peak of full release? I'm betting it doesn't hit 100k, down to 10k daily peak (or less) 2 weeks later
Im playing on ps5, why do steamies think they are where the majority of gamers are
>>733901628you lost, tranny.
>>733902340Steam won't show you total numbers but you can rely on it for trends. Basic statistics 101.
Do you actually play games, or just shit post?
>>733901628>it will have more players after everyone sees what a snoozefest it is and how shit the floaty gunplay issure....
>>733902340Blast status?
>>733902467I haven't played a video game in almost 7 years
>>733902530having it
>>733902457And basic statistics say take that number and 5x it for consoles users
>>733902551thats awesome, dont you want to be president of /v/ or something? you are overqualified
this has been such a horrible year for gaming so far>code vein 2 >nioh 3>highguard>marathonbrutal
>>733902586where are you getting that 5X from?
>>733902551Why are you on a video game board then
>>733901545>>733901628Did the servers actually get slammed? I didn't see any posts about connection being lost.
>>733901628They barely changed the game since they first previewed it. But trust me bro the game will be fixed by launch.
>>733902586>5x it for consoles usersnope even when arc raiders had 460k players on steam, across ALL consoles it was only about 300khttps://www.gamesradar.com/games/third-person-shooter/arc-raiders-hits-700-000-peak-concurrent-players-on-all-platforms-proving-console-players-are-also-very-much-into-this-massively-successful-extraction-shooter/700k across all platforms according to devs, and 460k was from steam alone.
>>733902613I would love to>>733902638Because I can. Before you go into your shaming routine redditor that stuff doesn't work here FYI
>>733902618Big day tomorrow for horizon bros.
>>733902630Cause there are more normies that play on console, there are more nornies than PC autists. For every 5 normies there is 1 autist. Internet is a echo chamber so you think you are bigger
>>733902738>Because I can. Before you go into your shaming routine redditor that stuff doesn't work here FYIYou need therapy, I cant imagine a sane person doing this
>>733902618They all outsold Ninja Gaiden 4.
>>733902785ok so you made that up cool see what this anon said and cope >>733902718>>733902832>regardless the redditor still goes into shaming modekek
this beta made me want to play deadlock for some actual pvp(ve?)
>>733902743i didn't get a invite
>>733902081I would've if it looked like halo and not like ass
>>733902869Thats a cherrypick lmao, now look at the PC marketshare over the years declining meaning less are buying. And the RAM shortage will shrink PC userbase more and moreAlso youre on a hobby board for a hobby you don't like lmao
>>733901545>BTFO deadflopVALVETRANNIES ARE ON SUICIDE WATCH LMAO
>>733903006>still no proofkek I accept your concession. I think I found out where all these Marathon players moved on to
>>733902931Deadlock has ridiculously fun movement, especially if you play viscous lash or Holliday. Going from deadlock and seeing marathon makes it look like you're playing in molasses.Deadlock doesn't really have pve though. It's just busy work to make yourself stronger to engage in pvp.
>>733903101>Deadlock has ridiculouslyIt's a dota game, so it's unappealing on a foundational level.
>>733901545wait for friday night EST
>>733903174The word you're looking for is a moba, but it's also a third person shooter with complex movement
>>733903006calm down little bro
>>733903179Everyone is going to be on WoW, RE, Horizon, or fucking bitches.
>>733903227I'm not looking for any word, it's a dota game. That's all anyone needs to know about it. If you've played one, you know your time isn't worth it.
>>733903286If you say so retardbro, one less dumbass ruining my matches.
>>733903307Highly recommend everyone stay out of this guys matches and play better games.
>>733903336Why should anyone listen to a ding dong
Isn't the point of a "server slam" to overload and test your servers not under-perform so you have more than enough servers
>>733903642I think they expected way more people.
>>733903642It's resource allocation, PC is a small and dying platform so once they see the most it musters is 140k the rest of the resources and bandwidth is allocated to PlayStation players.
>>733903642no linux support so I can't
Arc has infact, raped Marathon into obscurity
All they had to do was speed the game up. Could have been the apex legends extraction shooter. But devs are just too fucking scared of alienating console players
>>733903734I wish arc didn't lean so far into the wholesome chungus pve aspect, I hate that I have to be a good goy for two dozen games just to get certain weapons like from the large bosses.
>>733903734I always laugh when I see wallpaper engine on that list. It's chinese dudes downloading porn right?
>getting mogged by a seventy dollar, single-player gameRIP
>>733903816When Steam went down in Asia/SEA a couple of months ago it revealed there were only 12M active users in the West. Any sort of substantial player counts can be attributed to Chinks, Pinoys and Indians.
>>733901545You realize most players of a new game drop off very quickly for the majorty of games, yeah? Post this chart in 2 months, that will be more accurate.
>>733903885I am constantly pretty surprised at how much less popular pc gaming is than I thought it was. I guess I’m biased because all of my friends play, but before seeing the numbers I thought there were WAY more pc gamers in America. Like in my head most big games were getting at least 10 million players.
>>733901545AIIIEE MARATHONSLOPPERSWE'RE GETTING PLAYER MOGGED BY JAPANESE SURVIVAL-HORROR CALL OF DUTYHELP
>>733903252>u mad broNot an argument
>>733904132>it's normal that almost half the player base drops on a beta weekend designed to stress test the gamekek
>>733904142Oh no it's the smallest of all platforms by far. I would be surprised if it's bigger than Xbox even.
red alert sisters we are now officially under 80k
>>733904315There are tons of sale charts that show xbox sales higher than PC, this board is an echo chamber
>>733904463Most ass creed fans are niggers and beaners and they're naturally consolefags
>>733901628This. The actual release would be so much worse since it's like 40 bucks.
>>733901545Looks like it will be a flop but able to keep itself alive for a year or two before it needs to be shut down. It might also just be that boring and players leave even after spending 40$.
>>733904463Compare the most recent game's sales this is retarded cherry picking especially since some of these games weren't released on the PC at the same time.
>>733901545All the real runners know they are going to game hard on full release and won't waste their time on a beta with no carryover. Obviously
>>733904905All trolling aside that's a bad idea because the sweats are just going to get really good the next 3 days
>>733901545POS games like this need at least several hundred thousand concurrent players to survive, right?
>>733904741
>>733905047so are you getting that Assassins Creed data for me like I asked or what?

>>733905665arc raiders is also sitting above 100k right now. not looking good for marathon
>>733905709Buy the dip
>>733902081nobody wants tranny-halo, its barely masculine enough as it is these days. Every character looks troonish, its awful.Arc Raiders mogs the fuck out of the game. And even that game is a 4/10 on the woke.
>>733905709
>>733902340console plebs have less options for quality gaming, who cares. Get a pc, oh wait, you can't afford one, lmao.>>733905709wut, so in just 2 hours, the playerbase has fallen off the proverbial cliff? oof. lmao.
>>733903734genuinely don't understand what is left to experience in arc after one season of gameplaythe last 3 updates don't offer shitI guess the people that struggle against the piss easy pve still have to place a flag on watto's junk pile or something
>lost so many playersLost all of us Europeans who went to sleep, you mean?
KEKAROOOOO

>>733901545Highguard doesn't even show players anymore on steam because it got too low. Anyone think this will happen to Marathon or is there enough of a game there for it to be more successful?
>>733902738IF you dont play vidyaWHY would I care about your opinion on vidya?
>>733906274oof lmfao
What did Arc peak at during it's server test? I'm not sure that's the best measurement of future success
>>733906526189,668
>>733905912Thats so painfully true
>>733906428It'll capture a decentish size audience but it won't be enough and they'll put in maintence mode after a year or so to rush out destiny 3
>>733906526>>733906714The graph for comparison
>>733906826Dead within 3 months of release
when everything is said and done, who will emerge victor in the war of the wokeflops?
>>733906919>everyone chases fortnite>ironically it will be the only one left on top
>>733906919hard to beat concord desu
>>733906919I don't think anything can top Concord. They had lore,skins,and a fucking TV episode and only managed 697 players peak on steam. 697That's mind boggling.
>>733907061>>733907062I think if Marathon tanks Bungie, in terms of raw damage and scale of said damage this would be more than Concord since Concord was made by literally whos but Bungie has been around since the 90's and worked on a lot of major shit
>>733907127Goddammit pleb you aren't getting your Concord 2, get a new fucking meme you hanger-on.
>>733907163Why does this make you so angry? Are you a retarded game dev afraid of losing your job?
>>733906919Do movies count? I think the new Star Wars movie will be Concord the movie in terms of under-performing
>>733907127>I think if Marathon tanks Bungie,it's not a matter of if or even when. this shit is cooked.
>>733907127They ended up refunding players that purchased concord though. I really, REALLY doubt marathon will end up closing servers anytime soon. I think the actual release will still see tens of thousands of players logging on at release. Marathon at least tries to appeals to some people while Concord didn't seem to appeal to anyone.
>>733906919Concord will be the hall of infamy failure. But i think Marathon will limp along as a heavily shilled, but unpopular live service game with a core diehard fanbase of goyslop eating retards and troons. It'll be a laughing stock, but there will be a small playerbase. It'll get mogged by Helldivers 2 forever though.
>>733907365Oh. Forgot to add that I still think it won't perform anywhere CLOSE to what bungie actually needs though. lol,lmao, fat chance. I just don't think they can afford to shutter servers and refund people. Literally can't afford.
>>733907379You people just don't understand. Bungie can't survive with a small break even win. They need a massive win. They are in financial trouble and if they don't get that massive win they can't keep the lights on. If Marathon does meh we are going to see them have to choose which baby to axe, Destiny or Marathon and it will be quick and infuriate whichever fanbase especially if it's Destiny. Imagine investing 12 years of your life into Destiny and the true ending is an end of service email twitter announcement from Bungie?
>>733907127Protip: companies that have been around 90s are almost all skinwalkers. Nobody that worked on the original marathon or halo is still at the company. For example, nu-iD or as I like to call it yiD
>>733907515I am 100% aware but I think this applies less to Japanese companies
>>733907509at this point if they just shove out Marathon, it will probably break even for awhile, even on maintenance mode, they dont have to cut it to survive.Now, behind the scenes you're right, they'll probably run around trying to whore themselves to Tencent or some other major publisher to survive. Maybe they'll scam Nintendo/xbox/Soiny into wildly overpaying for their IPs and buying them out, who knows? but there's no guarantee that Marathon will be axed just yet.I can hope, but i don't think it'll happen, its got more a bit more legs than Highfail or any other Concord-like.
>>733901545High Guard's numbers dropped significantly within a few hours. This game is managing to keep players' interest for at least a day.The next few days will truly test its mettle.
>>733907676Sony owns them, There is no tencent. Sony will assume complete control of Bungie and that will be the end of that and Bungie will become a support studio of some kind till they quietly get shut down. By the summer the latest. "Break even" is not an option here
>>733907759an almost 75% drop is not a good sign especially since this won't be free
>>733901927Halo reach sped up with the ttk being the same as combat pistol headshots in halo 1.This game would be better if the ttk was equivalent of ar sprayed to death in halo 3.Fuck it just have it be halo 3
>>733907890Wait for the weekends. This doesn't mean much.
>>733901545wait, game is not gonna be free? lol DOA>b-but arc raiders is not freearc raiders is actually good, did a good marketing/showcase and don't have a weird art style that looks cheap
>>733907951I can't tell if you are trolling or nor
>>733906919The execs and managers, who will fail upwards or just pop their golden parachutes and retire early.Bonus: DEI consultants working on their kill-streak record.
>>733907951Arc Raiders dropped every day with its playtest and that was liked by everyone. This is very divisive and despite all the shilling could not even beat a floundering Arc Raiders 6 months from release.
>>733907951To be fair it is a pretty shitty day to release the demo on. If the game can't reach it's peak again by saturday evening then it's probably REALLY fucked.
>>733901628There will be even less because it costs 40 dollars. The game isnt even worth that alone.
>>733907951Yeah, wait for friday nightThen wait for saturdayThen wait for next week because resident evil just droppedThen wait for the console numbersPc isnt the main platform you knowThen find a new marking job after the layoffsF2P within 3 months
>>733907846But Soiny has all the same ideological problems that the subverting cucks at Bungie do. What are Soiny gonna do at this point? Clean house and dissolve the entire company i bet.
>>733905687>concord 3 is competing with concord 4
>>733908446Nothing good. I wasn't implying a happy ending. Would be ironic if Bungie became a Hell Diver support studio since I vaguely remember them shitting on that game
>>733908235steamdb.info/app/1808500/charts/#3mArc raiders is 3 months from release not 6, and while its dropped in players, its still doing great, 80k current players on pc alone is more than enough to justify continued investment.
>>733901545Yes the euros went to sleep. What a shocker
It's improved from the alpha at least. If anything the design and UI were improved...But man, the game itself just isn't it. If they seriously made it a Extraction shooter/Destiny hybrid and leaned more on the PvE side of things I think the game would have some good niche. But as it currently stands the game still feels like Apex/Tarkov with an interesting coat.Maybe it'd be worth it at 20$? Certainly not 40$
>>733908453Concordians, we eating GOOD.
was gonna try it but it wanted to put their gay anticheat spy shit on my pc
>>733908580>GAAS is shiteyou dont say
>>733908580>crying about anti-cheatscope, if turd worlders, trannies and chinks weren't relentlessly trying to cheat in every online pvp-oriented game they wouldn't need it, get a better pc so your cpu doesnt crash your frame rate.
>>733901545It's almost as if people go to sleep
I'm unironically liking this, got sad when I had to log off, do I have bad taste? The UI is the only criticism I have but I already got used to it...
>>733908453OH SHIT FRIENDLY FIRE!
arc didn't have a lot of what makes it really fun in the test.I think that's true to a certain extent with Marathon but probably not as much
>>733908635you are a cheating tranny turd worlder you retarded turd
>>733902586bro still living in 2006 lmao
>DUUUD people went to slee-If China isn't playing this, it's dead, really that simple
There's something about the neon colors and all the visual bloom that makes me feel like IM GOING FUCKING BLIND
LMAO they did a "NETWORK TEST" to make those player charts bigger.That is such a niggerish tactic because they know even haters will log in to shit on the game.Actual kikery tactics to not get concorded.
>>733908547>>733908705>people are asleep no one is playing anything on steam
>>733901545Why does everyone want this game to fail?
>>733908895because it's shit you retarded turd
>>733908895I think it's very ugly and the gameplay loop feels even more boring than arc raiders plus all the loot icons are incredibly tiny i can't tell what I'm picking up half the time so the looting aspect isn't there for me either
>>733908895it's marathon without the marathon
>>733908635The solution to cheaters has always been human reviewers, inb4 "muh multi-billion dollars company cannot afford it". Any kernel level software has always been unacceptable spyware/malware.
>>733908924>>733908931fair enough, but wouldn't you rather give that feedback so the game can be improved to something better instead of just hoping it fails and making less games for everyone?
>>733908895saturated marked of a genre that was already pretty bad and full of cancerous drooling retards.that shit is the new "wow killer" mmo fad it's annoying, and at least wow killers tried to have gimmicks and visual identity unlike that unending copy pasted asset flip slop
>>733908959no fuck off with your gaas shit
Game feels way too formulaic and boring, I don't really get what they've been working on beyond changing the aesthetics because of the plagiarism. It feels still empty and generic, no idea how they fumbled this hard when Sony went all in with Bungie. If this is "all in" then I guess they are cooked.
>>733908991what? isn't marathon an extraction shooter? and isn't this whole game pretty much known for its visual identity?
>>733908876>russian players
>>733908959The game is releasing very soon they're not going to change anything fundamental about it now
>>733909034>250k Russian players are playing the new $70 Resident Evil game
KEK, gonna be entertaining as fuck to watch this crash and burn in real time.
>>733908895because its a product. nothing else.
>>733908959they had two previous playtest for feedback six months ago, and barely anything got fixed
>>733908948>The solution to cheaters has always been human reviewersYet literally nobody does this. I agree in principle, for games like MMOs, but if you're drawing the line here, you will never be able to play another competitive online game again. So cry all you like, but this is a position no game dev wishes to hold. Frankly, your opinion is fed to you buy that faggot furry ButtPirateSoftware, and he's a fucking clown who's made a career out of talking out of his arse.This is a redundant complaint and a poorfag argument. Cope. Pick another criticism, i haven't had any issues with any anti-cheats in my pc except for arc raiders not working if i have the Nikke launcher active, because of the conflict of the anti-cheats.
>>733908895I'm playing it now, I want it to fail because this is a disgrace to Bungies legacy and honestly Sony should just put Bungie out of its misery. Pathetic showing.
>>733909117>>733909056not defending it, but didn't destiny release in a similar manner where there were a lot of obvious things wrong and it took a year or two to right the ship?
>>733909078yesit's like germans with simulation games
How did western vidya shit itself this hard?
>>733909202whatever your retarded deflection here is the point is people are up playing things
>>733909191Yes and no, D1 was fundamentally flawed but at the time the gunplay felt incredible and was novel. Marathon is neither. It has virtually nothing to distinguish itself in the current market.
>>733908773during arcs server slam everyone, and I mean everyone shot on sight, people complained for the lack of content, the Ai enemies being too strong, and the loop of collecting junk and estracting being boring, then something happened after release, the game became PvE slopfest and suddenly everyone was ok with collecting junk to upgrade your junk collecting chicken.
>>733909191destiny didn't look like shit you retard
>>733909191maybe, but destiny is a shit game too where all its best elements were shamelessly ripped off of Warframe. They also don't have that luxury anymore, they've squandered all the money they earned and are on their last legs.
>>733909191A decade ago? Destiny and Bungie could get a pass. Now? lol, lmao.
>>733908861you know arc raiders did the same exact thing? Marathon is copying 1:1 Arc's marketing.
Marathon glazers, tell me what are some good qualities about this game. I'm curious what makes you guys actually like this
>>733909270its artstyle was a lot more boring than marathon. unless you're talking about performance?>>733909267>>733909292>>733909319the market definitely has changed, i agree with that. if its not excellent on day one no one is gonna bother. but is the gunplay in marathon really that bad?
>>733908876third worders don't count as people
>>733909338>but is the gunplay in marathon really that bad?It has the Bungie gunplay/Destiny feel however its wayyyyyyy to slow for it's gunplay.
>>733909338>its artstyle was a lot more boring than marathonyou are a retard your game looks like vomit
>>733908895/v/ only plays gatcha and old single player games
So that ridiculously long cutscene was basically just a drawn out way of saying we're glorified drone pilots?
>>733901545150k concurrent players for a $40 game wow Bungie won big time and this isn't even without console numbers which are typically their strongest platformsWe're looking at 2 million day 1 sales minimum. The momentum this game has behind it is literally insaneI'm having a blast
>>733909360Yes they do. You were wrong
>>733909327Persistent environmental changes triggered by the players is interesting.
>>733909469This game will sell billions, believe it
>>733909469Genuinely insane how hard Bungie popped off and destroyed the doomers, I'm having a blast as well. Bungie is saved. Likely 2 Billion in revenue by year one.
>>733909449>ridiculously long cutscene>it's like a few minutes long I swear 4chan is only used by brain damaged zoomers now
>>733909125>you will never be able to play another competitive online game again. Your terms are acceptable>your opinion is fed to you buy that faggot furry ButtPirateSoftwareI've never watched anything about that drama, so nice strawman retard>poorfag argumentIt's not about money you brownoid, it's about principle, something you izzat-loving cow-shit-eating jeet cannot understand, because I have blue eyes and you don't. I will not have kernel-level spyware on my machine, especially when it doesn't even stop cheaters in the first place. Human teams are the obvious answer to stop cheating, ti's not done because companies want more money and implementing spyware is more profitable.
>>733909360you are a third worder you retarded turd
It's now interesting because I see chuds and woke trannies shitting on Marathon.
>>733901692Lmao, I was going to post how this is a massive W over highguard because marathon is actually 40$ and those seem some crazy good first day sales. Oh lawd, this is going to crash hard.
>>733909525When it's a shitload of spastic visual clutter a few minutes can be a long time, dumb faggot.
>>733909564You don't have blue eyes, lying chink.
>>733909564>I will not have kernel-level spyware on my machinethis nigga hates battlefield 2 and is calling other people brown
>>733909327the sound design is incredible, game feels like a horror game, I play solo and love the tension, I like being able to outsmart other players because they are too reckless, make too much noise and don't pay attention to their surroundings.
>>733909525you lost you retarded turd

>>733909634Marathon Blast Havers, we won. 10 million sales day one here we come. Get fucked doubters.
>>733909634now compare it with arc's server slam and not the release game
>you're brown>no you're brown
>>733909697/v/ is a brown board, wypipo don't use /v/ anymore because the browns infested /v/
>>733909686Bungie doesn't need a moderate success retard they need these numbers to be triple of what Arc Raiders was at least. Their entire over bloated company is riding on this game
>>733901628You DO realize it's all downhill from here right?!?
>>733909564>Your terms are acceptableclearly they're not, because trannies like you whine in literally EVERY competitive online game discussion on this website about kernel-level anticheat. You're upset, your views are niche at best, and you're seething about nobody caring.I'm whiter than you, i play games you are locked out of due to your brown-skinned turd world poverty, and i have no trouble. Your views are ignorant and retarded, like your entire turd world country. >Human teams are the obvious answer to stop cheatingIf it worked and was profitable, devs would do it, but they dont, because its not, cope. It is a plausible idea for MMOs, but not competitive shooting games.
>>733909825>I'm white because I play shitty MMOs with kernel-level anticheatSudacas are an entirely different species lmao.
>>733901545I'm having a blast!
>>733909634>new free demo game vs full released paid game months ago
>not even 24 hours in>already lower than Arc Raiders which has been around for 4 months by nowOh lordy it's gonna be a bloodbath when it releases fully at forty fucking dollars
>>733909686Anon...
>>733909825Brownoid absolutely malding, kek. Again, the jeet can't into honor or principles and sells his ass without any shame.>like you whineHoly projection Batman, I'm just doing nothing, and you're malding because even normies don't want your shit. I played Overwatch when it was good, I still have TF2 if I want some fun multiplayer, I'm never installing kernel anti-cheats, no matter how much you ask me not to redeem.>If it worked and was profitableIt does work, but it doesn't make money, whereas harvesting your data makes a lot of it. W11 isn't full of spyware because it "works better", it's because it brings them a ton of money.
>>733909993>>733910001stop the count
>>733910001Oh no no arc raider playtester bros our play test is dead?!
literally highguard numbers
>>733908876chin chong people
>>733909993How many players are we betting for the peak at 40$ release? 20k? 10k? Less?
is anything else in production at bungie? looks pretty dire if that shit flops.
It'll be fiiiine.
>>733910056Around 87487 blast-having bros
>>733901545>there are more people on /v/ right now than playing Highguardwtf
>>733908895It'll be so funny when it fails.
Holy flop alert
>>733902340obligate stickfag players don't count, they aren't even human
My prediction, full release, playercount caps around 220k then it falls rapidly in the coming weeks
>>733908895new games are so generic shit now that seeing a new game fail is more fun that actually playing it
so it seems like it will be a ac shadows situation where it doesn't bomb so bad it implodes the company but its not the smash hit they wanted either
>>733910369cope the player numbers are abysmal
>infiltrate established company>suck up all their money>humiliate their legacy>destroy them>move on to the nextHonestly, woke won.
>>733901545can i buy this game then leave a negative review before refunding it?
>>733910056Struggle to see it getting over 50k, but maybe even that's optimistic.
>>733908895Bungie's public perception has hit at all time low that everyone just wants to see them burn. Honestly they're just paroting opinions
>>733908959No? Why would I want major AAA companies to thrive? Why do shillers treat these studios like they're indie darlings when it's all corporate suits and faggots that constantly fail upwards?
>>733910535>kill GAAS shit>woke wonlooks like woke is working for /v/
>Launch game>hit the player with 3 minutes of visual vomit right before they play the game so they get a mild headache immediately odd strategy
>>733901545I-it's j-just a free b-beta....
>>733910716hyenas did the same thing
>>733910664It gets you into the mindset of playing a competitive shooter
>>733909327It's a very tense game. It feels very dangerous to be going into these strange places to get the loot. You have to be careful, plan your moves, work out how you are actually going to get from A to B safely all while watching your back for enemies and managing your resources. It kind of throws you in at the deep end and you have to learn fast but it is quite compelling. I may play it more.
>>733901545CONCORD 3
>>733901545Oh no no non no....Maratrooners.... don't look....
>>733910310>200k Do you work at Bungie?Remove a zero from that and you'll be closer to the mark
>>733911001No I'm just a realist that doesn't downplay numbers just for le funny posts. The server slam numbers are going to be a lot higher tomorrow, for example.
>>733910997I-it's just a bad time slot! The US prime time will get us to 200k trust the plan we're gonna blast to the moon
Honestly, from what I played, in the beginner map that is, this is bearable as a non-enjoyer of extraction shooters.I just use the sponsored kits and get guns and ammo from bots and people. they can't do shit anywayt.shooting also feels much MUCH better than highguard, I cannot overstate how terrible highguard felt.
>>733901545How bad is it? I'll play the free weekend tonight.
>>733911408It's fine, I can't speak on the finer details of game design and extraction economy loops, but just in terms of the shooting feeling, it's on par with all the bungie shooters.
>>733906274not enough playable kids for the pedophile
>>733911462>but just in terms of the shooting feeling, it's on par with all the bungie shooters.So it's entirely mediocre?
>>733909034It’s actually a shame that they IP-banned Russia. It’s fine to hide your product from the store, we have workarounds, but they went even further and banned russian and some CIS IPs. And that’s the country where the genre originated. I’m sure that 30–50k people would join the game, especially during this F2P honeymoon phase.
>>733904974>need at least several hundred thousand concurrent playersIt's complicated being you have match making and revenue intake issue in play. The bigger the company the more $$$$ they need from whales buying skins etc. Like I assume Marathon will do OK, but still be seen as totally under performing for a studio at the level of a Sony supported Bungie. Player count should be fine for ok matchmaking. Yet Sony wants that Overwatch billion dollar+ earning franchise. But Marathon went down the extraction shooter path a few years too late. Clearly not lightning in a bottle hype wise. So the assumption is it's going to stumble real hard. After years of dev time and $$$$$$$$$$?Compare that to say Saber dropping Toxic Commandos in March too, a zombie co-op shooter, for $40. The current demo peaked at under 6k players and will odds are sell OK and just chug along for it's DLC path etc. It's publisher is Focus Int, not Sony. They just release new content for Insurgency Sandstorm, a 2018 game with a 1400 player average. They aren't expecting Toxic Commandos to do Fortnite numbers. But Sony wants a 10/10 mega hit and clearly Marathon isn't looking to be it.But it's not going to be a mega flop either by normal standards.
>>733911479you're on a pedophile website
LMAOOOO THEY CENSORED "arc raiders" IN THE CHAT!??!
>>733910369AC Shadows literally killed ubishit, and this will kill bungie even harder.
>>733911607>But it's not going to be a mega flop eitheryes it is lmaocope
>>733901628I wonder if anons think this is shilling only because it's using a cat reaction image
>>733911663the insecurity
>>733911663kek
>>733911607>But it's not going to be a mega flop eitherI'm loving this new jeet spin update. Yeah man, a game that cost hundreds of millions of dollars struggling to bring in a million in revenue, that's not a mega flop because... uh... maybe a few thousand people will play it for a month?This game needed to consistently maintain 100k players. Destiny 2 did poorly and managed that, this has already dropped to half that and it isn't even out yet.
>>733908895Because instead of destiny 3 we get this shit. I hope it dies and swallows bungie with it. Fucking faggots
>>733909578Trannies are shitting on it? Post proof
>>733911670>bungiehaven't they been a walking corpse for a while now
>>733912046>haven't they been a walking corpse for a while nowwhich western studio is not in "walking corpse" category
>>733908895Destinyfags want it to fail because Destiny 2 got shelved for this shit and >>733911928Gacha players want it to fail because it's more competition in live service genreArc raiders want it to fail because it's competition in tarkov genreNormieswant it to fail because their favorite yoobers told them toConcordoomers want it to fail because it's funnyChuds want it to fail because of culture warMe? I want it to fail because I hate bungie.
>>733901628>and you should taking it seriously
>>733911720>>733911745Nice GED reading comprehension, being I said by normal standards. This is the same issue as massive Hollywood films. Where they do OK compared to other films but aren't good enough for studio expectations. That is still different from a total flop. But retards online want that Concord full refund, game gone in two weeks, nearly everyone fired etc mega flops now. Your BioWare's Anthem wtf this is barely runs sort of flop. Marathon isn't that game. It's just going be painfully average. You can already tell from this test run the game isn't PvE enough for that market and it's not PvP enough for that crowd.It has no hook but it's unique design. So it's going to launch weak and sputter along but just not an unplayable Anthem mess or a Concord/Highguard zero interest game. Consoles might do the heavy lifting as they don't have as many extraction themed games.
>>733912318it is on the same level as highguard, watch the steam graph retard. nobody is interested in your ugly cringe laundry cupboard detergentcore shit. try being a white nationalist to make good art faggot.
>>733910469abysmal in comparison to what?
>>733910628>No? Why would I want major AAA companies to thrive?because the more good games there are in the world the better the industry is?
>>733912427video games
>>733912489...in general?
>>733912471>AAA>good gamepick on and only one
>trannies and jeets tease chuds nonstop about this abhorrent shit>pajeets make anti arc raiders "memes">devs pay peanut ridiculous amount of money just to for him to ditch this crap the moment the agreed playhours end>all the shills disappeared overnight.>so insecure they have to censor arc raiders in the game chatSad!
>>733912536so my suspicions are right, its not about wanting good games its just wanting certain games to faili dont think thats a healthy mindset
I think it looks cool but I have no interest in extraction shooters, battle royals, or destiny-likes. Why couldn't bungie just make this their new Halo?
>>733912617bungie was one of the first to swallow the live service pill. i doubt they'll make a game of similar scope to halo again, unfortunatelyit sucks but you could also argue this is the end point of any massively multiplayer game model
art looks like an asset flip, looks boring too, but knowing normalfags they'll likely buy this one up
>>733912318This is a total flop, moron. If you are projected to earn less than 1% of your development cost, the game is a FLOP.
>>733912391You're simply too under educated to grasp there are different levels to products, marketing and the reasons behind why things are done in the business world. Same level of morons who never understood Overwatch made a billion dollars, had 60m accounts and even at it's OW1 low point still had more active players than Valorant.All clearly laid out in earning reports but the come back was always some 78 iq shit of hurrrr match making times for streamers. Ok.. Look you have no skin in this game, I don't either so I don't care how Marathon does sales wise.. Just don't be an absolute idiot thinking every random video game is some culture war BS and it must flop to strike a blow to whatever. It's an pew pew video game with a lot of marketing leverage that going to do fine by typical game launch standards but bad by what Sony/Bungie want... Yet it just not going to crater and take Bungie with in two weeks post launch. No mater how much you want it to do so.
>>733912617>Could've gotten a mix of Nu-DOOM boomer shooter and Halo single player narrative with 3 or 4 player co-op>Get this shit insteadI mean most of the talent left ages ago, but it still hurts.
>>733912906
>>733910628>want major AAA companies to thriveYou want a few to do well being they are the only ones willing to swing for the fences. We just don't need their forced MTX, everything live service etc BS. Yet I want at least some $$$$$$$$ teams in play. Otherwise we get endless Slipgate etc flash in the pan games
>>733912617Single player shooters don't sell at the scale megacorps want
>>733913174the new resident evil is literally a single player third person shooter and it has more than double the player count of marathon's FREE server testsingle player games sell just fine of they're not made by retards
I am a day 1 destiny 2 player and after seeing how they raped that game over the years,after I stopped playing my only desire is to one day see Bungie burn, and I am very thankful that the day seems to be approaching.
>>733912567With the way Peanut is shilling and banning people in his chat, I hope he gets taken down with Bungie, too.
>>733913491That's a survival horror game
>>733913637go back to r*ddit you parasocial faggotroon.
>>733914004>hope a shill fails>parasocialYou are brown.

dont piss me off kid
>>733914167>omg please validate my opinions of eceleb streamers for zoomers!>im totally not a parasocial loser seething because i got banned by Peanut!fuck you and your whore mother who should have taken it up the arse that night, never post again, faggotroon.
>>733914220>can't even use a comma or apostropheNot beating the allegations, beaner.
>Look at these gay niggers I have saved on my PCKWAB
>>733901545>old bungie made Halo and Destiny 1 (Destiny y 2 is fucking terrible)>now they can only make a half assed slop game made for nobodyWhat the fucked happened? How do you go from Halo to a slop game like "Marathon".
>>733914268whatever scraps bungie is paying you should be refunded
i accept your concession, faggotroon-zoomer, maybe in future you'll stop letting ecelebs live rent-free in your head, just because you got rightfully banned by one, for being the useless subhuman you are.Marathon is a turd, like your skin, just celebrate the win.
>>733914424What concession? Why didn't you post another gay nigger, faggot?
>>733901628This post is objectively correct and all the mouthbreathers in the replies saying "ITS LE PEAK BECAUSE ITS LE FREE" are retarded.Arc Raiders free server test peaked at 180k, how many players did that game have at launch? 250k, growing all the way to a peak of 480k.I also remember when /v/gros laughed at Nioh 3s demo only having 40k, it was free after all so that must have been the peak, right? Nope, full game, despite being 80€, reached almost 90k.Concord shitposters should be real quiet rigfht now because with these examples, i would not be surprised if Marathon ends up with a launch peak of over 200k.
i accept your concussion
>>733914512>autist doesn't understand the importance of word of mouthMany such cases...
>>733914167>NEVER post black people EVER

>>733914474I won you lost
3.6 billion by the wayHow mad would you be at bungie right now if you were sony, /v/?
>>733914512That was an actual good game with tight gameplay, performance and visuals, though. What's Marathon got? An even gayer and more retarded Destiny 2 clone with its gameplay, a dogshit artstyle and terrible performance? Yawn.
>>733914512you lost you retarded turdgo woke go brokeconcord 3
>>733914676eh, not that bad, probably similar numbers to valorant
>>733914512This game needs to do three times what Arc raiders did to save Bungie and it's doing less you stupid fuck. 'ok" or "below average" is not enough to save Bungie
>>733914647This, but unironically>>733914671You sperged out and posted homo negros. You couldn't have lost any harder.
>>733914676we literally don't know how many playstation player it has, but people will be playing Resident Evil and not some dogshit extraction slop
>>733914695you keep saying the artstyle is dogshitim not sure the general public agreesthere was only controversy about assets being plagiarized if people weren't invested in the aesthetic there wouldn't have been outrage, see all the destiny plagiarism scandals that were huge nothingburgers
>>733914676Anon, your screen is outdated, they're already at 43k. It's so over it's unreal.

>>733914608>>733914695Look on reddit, look on Youtube, look on resetera, word of mouth is excellent, everyone is having a blast with this game, leave your grifter Asmongold bubble and start being positive! The game will be a success and you lost.
>>733914676>>733914830REMINDER Bungie was the ADVISORS for Sony during the GAAS push.Bungie SAW Concord and let it fucking through.
>>733914842>>we will continue with tranny-coded inventory management games instead of catering to the untapped chink + long lost white man marketThe market is flooded with fucking Soulsclones nigger they should STOP doing these and go back to based shooters instead.

>>733914784>wtf, thats more than fucking GTA6, wtf are those retards pissing their money away on?I think that's what Sony paid for the studio, not the cost of development for Marathon.
