>The game supposedly has a budget of 250M>Needs 7-11M to break even>Predictions expect 100k topsCan we save it? Maybe we can double dip in both steam and ps5, I don’t really want to see more layoffs
>>734249037You can lay yourself off on the nearest set of train tracks
>Bungie cooked?If Destiny 2 couldn't kill them, it's going to take more than Marathon
i mean it looks like dogshit?like unfinished texturesgameplay looks like absolute assthe market for extraction shooters is oversatured as fucked
>>734249037Concord 4
we need to rally all runners to buy 10 copies each. i've already messaged my friends on discord asking them to and unfriended the ones that refused. we can't let the haters win.
>>734249108they've been basically dead for a long time, this is just a vain hope they'll have a company-salvaging hit before sony kicks them to the curb
>>734249037frfr unc doin the most
>>734249037Its been in the top five daily sellers on Steam for over a week now. Zero chance it sells that low across all platforms.
>twatter horse shit threadsales data is hidden jackass why the fuck are these threads not a bannable offense? everyone knows it will underperform due to how the game appeals to only a tiny minority of tarkov and hunt showdowns audience
>>734249395Hunt would better gunplay and no cheaters would do crazy numbers though.
>>734249037>another f2p extraction shooter in a market with not much demand>mid game people aren't too crazy about>already has a target on its back for pissing off Destiny fans>already has a target on its back for pissing off Marathon fans (even if there aren't many left)>pissing off Bungie fans too, just for good measure>has a unique artstyle (good)>has a unique artstyle (looks awful)>game wipes progress every couple months apparently>the "holy shit, everyone's invited, let's break the hell out of the servers!!!!" event flopped, from most metricsWell, at least it's f2p, I'm sure the game can carve out a nich--wait, it's not free? $40-60? Seriously? RIP in pepperoni.F in the chat.L bozo.
Oh look here's an article about how it's sold 250k already on Steam alone https://wccftech.com/marathon-estimated-sold-250k-copies-steam-launch-roadmap-revealed/
>90k topsliterally no way in hell lmao, it was maintaining around half of that for the server slam and steam is always a minority of sales for dumb shooters like this why are outrageoids like this
>>734249210What's concord 3?
>>734249429>game wipes progress every couple months apparentlyEvery extraction shooter ever does this. If you don't the game would be ruined by hardcores dunking on every lobby with stockpiles of the best gear.
>>734249037If it underperforms, i dont think Sony is gonna shut them down. They paid too much money for them. I think whats gonna happen is Sony is gonna give them a choice. Marathon or Destiny 2, and since D2 is already dead in the water and decomposing, the choice becomes that much easier for them.
>>734249448While 250k is a decent number, the rest of the analysis is more negative than positive. https://alineaanalytics.substack.com/p/steam-next-fests-wishlist-winners
>>734249471Concord.
>>734249152The whole game looks like Unity prototype assets yet Reddit and the journos praise the art direction like it's fucking Mona Lisa.
>>7342497891.2 million wishlists, 30% played the server slam
>>734249108actually they put practically no money into d2 after forsaken. it was literally all recycled year 1-2 content
where are the whispers? can you show us these whispers? surely you arent just making shit up
>>734250383The whispers are looking at the steam charts numbers from the test, and pretending that is what it will sell across all platforms.
>>734250458Even that wouldn't really make sense because if it's maintaining numbers around 40-50k that's actually way more players than 40-50k I don't think Marathon will be successful enough to Sony's standards unless it hits a massive positive word of mouth campaign with cryo archive and shit but goddamn you can be honest about it
I didn't know how much my soul craved good art until this game. I pray that it succeeds and the suits learn to be bold, dare to offend, and trust their artists even on huge projects. Hopefully the gameplay isn't a letdown.
>>734249037>>Needs 7-11M to break evenHas bunger said this themselves?
>>734249452Server slam was free though
>>734250727What does that have to do with anything? It is going to sell the vast majority of its copies on consoles.
I have anti woke gaming youtube channels fatigue.
>>734249212
>>734250757Are you really incapable of understanding that people will play something for free they would never spend $40USD to play? F2P survives only because it is free and hooks you players with MTX after they try. It is unlikely the vast majority of F2P games that are successful would have been if they had a barrier to entry, aka a price tag, prior to getting people into the door and susceptible to the psychological manipulation for the MTX.
layoff slop is my favorite genre
>>734249037Just make it free to play. I would absolutely play it more, I'm just not going to buy it. Paying for multiplayer only games doesn't make any sense anymore.
>>734249037I guess they'll be working on a new Horizon FPS multiplayer game now
>>734250552This is a joke/bait right? This game has the worst art and designs I've ever seen.
>>734249037all royale shooter slop deserves to die
>>734251046I have a feeling it's what some executive thinks appeals to zoomers. Bold, clashing colors with intentional lack of cohesion. It engages you through constant visual irritation.
the game is just fucking hideous man
when do you think the good bungie devs all left?after halo 3?
>>734251046if it had gore it would be actually interesting but its cyberpunk+mirrors edge safe slop
>>734249345Ubisoft's Ass Crap Nip Negro was DoA and topped the selling charts
>>734249037>layoffsAmericans have it tough.
>>734251454Sometime between Reach and Destiny 1's expansions.
>>734249037I want every single person who shares the mindset that led to the artstyle of Marathon to be unemployable in the videogame industry. That's how you save American videogames.That'll probably require companies like Bungie that are too corrupted to be salvaged to just be shuttered. Maybe Sony can open a new studio in the midwest, hire some based veterans who want to make masculine entertainment, and call it Bungie. But they'd better hurry, because if one more title like this is released under the Bungie name, they'll have spent $3.6B just to lose a few hundred million more.
>>734249421they didnt even deliver on their no cheater policy because they used battleye again and scripters had working aimbots/esp before the end of the first day of beta lol
>>734249429>already has a target on its back for pissing off Marathon fans (even if there aren't many left)Hi there. Durandal is still one of the best characters in scifi vidya and any chance of him being used well has just been utterly squandered.
>>734249037it'll have more than that on a single console platform what are the 85iq smoothbrains smoking?
>>734252261Performance on Steam tends to be pretty indicative of performance elsewhere, especially when it comes to genres that have a large PC install base like FPS.When it does poorly on Steam but the company claims that it actually did really well, it's always "trust us bro" followed by mass layoffs and bad financial reports.
>>734249152>the market for extraction shooters is oversatured as fuckedThis is cope and will never not be cope. This line of logic never holds up under the many examples of games dropping into 'oversaturated' markets and kicking up a storm. The only thing that matters is if its good. If this game was an amazing extraction shooter, then it would top the sales and syphon players to it, since it was the best on the market.Calling a market oversaturated is what loser white collar DEI devs say to their higher ups to save their ass from being fired when their shit game flops. Same with 'dead' market excuses or 'well its a sequel to an old game so people didnt want to jump in late'>BG3 sold like wildfire despite being the third of a line of games none of these people ever touched, despite being an CRPG, a pretty niche and dead genre at the time>Elden ring sold like wildfire despite "souls fatigue" complaints abound for years prior>Marvel Rivals super successful despite cope about hero shooters being oversaturated and dying>mewgenics recently hit it big despite it being a challenging turn based grid game that never sell well outside of the 35yo+ market>[Insert hit roguelike here] sold well despite literally the biggest market saturator genre right now>helldivers 2 did incredible despite the "2" and the online only live service system>WH40K sold incredibly well despite being a 360 era game people would call deadits all cope.
I love how the best defense shills have is "UH NO, IT'S GOING TO SELL MORE THAN 50K COPIES, IT'S GOING TO SELL (insert comically low number here) INSTEAD".Your bosses do know that this game needs to sell 10 million copies and have a sustained average player count above 300k to MAKE BACK THE DEV COST, right?
>>734251758>stop liking what i don't like!I don't care, not your personal blog. And there is nothing special about this art style just a typical shiny cyberspunk slop.
I don't play live-service gamesI know jack-shit about the business operates, how profit works, etcThat said, don't you need like below 1k players to be in a critical state to warrant being shut down?Destiny 2 hasn't reached that yet and wouldn't Sony just downsize the studio into a skeleton crew on Destiny 2?Yeah that wouldn't be ideal for the company (given how much Sony spent on acquiring them) but if other live service games have less players than Destiny 2 (like fucking For Honor and DCUO are still around somehow) and are still around, can't they just keep on trucking like a gutted vegetable?
>>734252790>This line of logic never holds up under the many examples of games dropping into 'oversaturated' markets and kicking up a storm.But it does. For a game to do as you say, they must usurp other already existing games. You can't just drop a game in the genre and gain an audience anymore. You need to take them from other games. And that means convincing them to play your game instead of theirs.
>>734249037>Can we save it?Honest question: Why would you want to do that?Let people make mistakes, otherwise they'll never learn. I'm sure Sony will soften the blow for them and allow them to try (once) again with what they've learned.
>>734249037>Needs 7-11M to break evenNah they'll just write it off on their taxes. Sony is a regular for doing that. Tax payer will pay for Marathon.
this is the dumbest fucking gun design ever>a fucking rectangle
>>734249108>more than marathon Perhaps an ultra-marathon?
>>734249037We told you it was trash, you just didn't want to listen
>>734253138>Nah they'll just write it off on their taxes.Where is your business that gets infinite money by just "writing things off on your taxes", you financially illiterate monkey? >Tax payer will pay for Marathon.That's not how anything works.
>>734249037I need to guys to prepare for it to do just ok and not be an epic bomb.
>>734250757Not a guarantee. A high guard dev today said the game was nearly 50-50 on steam and consoles
>>734253246No it was 3x more on console
>>734253201>That's not how anything works.Not how it works for Sony/Bungie or not how it works at all?Reminder that the Quebec tax payer pays for all of Ubisoft's mistakes and that the big Skull & Bones mistake was funded by the Singapore tax payer.
My instinct tells me Sony already priced in low sales figure projections so Bungie is saved no matter how bad it flops.
>>734249037I'm going to say it again: it's a trash game. Quit wasting threads for a shit game that no one will care about by April
>>734252925Yeah, totally. No difference between these hideous characters, these stupid lego weapons (because they hate guns), and the terrible color scheme and Blade Runner/Deus Ex.You know as well as I do that what you said is absolute bullshit. The people who made this hate masculinity and hate beauty. The former should disqualify you automatically if you need the male customer (99.99% of games do), and the latter should just disqualify you in general. The entertainment industry shills can continue pumping out their list of excuses just like they have for the past decade, but the reality is that these people are killing the western entertainment industry, and they need to be removed.
>>734250552no we need more realistic unreal slop like arc raiders and e33
isnt it amazing how companies can spend hundreds of millions and make slop because the yes-men in California are afraid to criticize the game?>concord>highguard>marathon
It doesn't need to sell 7 Million copies you fucking morons!!!Bungie will be completely fine.
>>734253541Bungie has been dead since Halo 4
>>734250552You must have not played the server slam.The gameplay was amazing.Game looks so much more impressive in motion.Gunplay was so solid, super responsive and juicy with no bullet sponge ttk was close to tarkov type levels. It filtered so many people.
>>734249037100k seems low. 100k concurrent sounds more realistic at launch and then whittled down over a couple weeks.
>>734253138This is stupid. If this were a viable business strategy, everybody would just take out a big loan, spend 5+ years lounging with their Starbucks and wine fountains, release their shitty game, pull it from the market (I think that you have to do this in order to write it off), pay off the loan with the tax write off, and then do it again.If you're writing it off, you've lost a lot of money.
>>734253262I actually got that confused with Requiem so no it's not a guarantee that steam is always the smallest platformhttps://www.pcgamer.com/gaming-industry/capcom-makes-the-majority-of-its-sales-on-pc-and-it-expects-the-ratio-to-continue-increasing/
>>734249037I would think 200k maybe since seemingly sony players enjoy this kind of crap perhaps somewhat more than pc. But I don't think that's enough to save them.
>>734253691>delusional
>buying skins in a game where you can only see your hands
>>734253183Well there are attempts at suitcase or pocket guns like that kinda, but the point of those is specifically for concealing them, not really meant for tactical fighting. That just looks retarded.
>>734249037I played the server slam, it's not a bad game. Could be a 7. But it is a game for sweats, losing a lot will not make it mainstream.
I wonder how much Sony is paying indians to shill this garbage, like highguard.
>>734253691post an opinion you actually believe in, you coward.
>>734253853The UI is so bad on console it's basically unusable because they imported the gay controller-mouse thing from Destiny, so they actually really don't have a huge console playerbase like Destiny.
>>734253897You do realize how many COD skins there are and just how many people purchase them....right?Also, you can see the rest of your body when you look down in both games so its not just hands, youre objectively wrong.
>>734253945There aren't any paid shills hereThey're trolls doing it to make you mad, yes you specifically Ryan
>>734253959Oh, that's retarded. No idea about the numbers then, but I'm also not interested in extraction shooters at all so don't know what that audience wants.
>>734253010NTA, but >BG3 did>Elden Ring did>Marvel Rivals did>Mewgenics did>Vampire Survivors did>Helldivers 2 did>WH40K didIf a game is good, it will beat the snot out of anything else on the market. The anon you're responding to is entirely correct and has examples to illustrate why it is so. You're entire argument is basically "nuh uh, shut up, its all speculative".BG3 was a massive success, even in a genre of other RPGs like Knights of the Old Republic, Fallout, Mass Effect, Elder Scolls, etc. It brought a lot that was new and fresh to the table. And it's the same with every other game that anon listed and their respective genres. Say it with me now, because you're entire supposition is just that, supposition; "If a game is good, it doesn't need to beat any other games out of the market." That is the entirty of everything a game is going to boil down to, and the only way a game gets remembered.
>>734253227>I need to guys to prepare for it to do just ok and not be an epic bomb.This is the trvke /v/ doesn't want to hear. This game is not going to shut down one month in like concord/highguard.
>>734253945There was always going to be a niche audience for an extraction shooter that's difficult and is made by Bungie. The biggest problem this game has is that it's not F2P, most people's introduction to the game will be dying and they won't want to pay $40 to soldier on with it.
>>734253958no lol I won't give you ammo to use against me. You are my bitch now so continue seething.
>>734254080lil bro afraid of being disagreed with over 4chan
>>734254056Why do you people just make shit up and then believe it? Bungie is compete shit without Halo, and Halo has barely been limping along for over a decade
>>734254127>Why do you people just make shit up and then believe it?That's quite literally the premise of the thread
3 month interval destiny 2 resets will save this game it will be a BLAST Concord 3 bros
>>734254102>p.....p.....p....please give your opinion so anything you say I will attack and turn the argument back around on younope not happening autist continue to SEETHE
>>734254150if you're this terrified of being disagreed with then perhaps reddit is more to your liking
>>734254147Except Marathon isn't good. I know it, you know it, we all know it. You're just trying to save face right now to protect your ego, because you know damn well everyone will have moved on in a month.
>>734254056extraction games are a very small nicheand then this one is not fun and also ugly, why would normies play this regularly? arc is an exception, cause it has enough decent pve stuff to do.
>>734254127Why do you have such a hard time wrapping your head around the idea that there are people that like the game? Marathon is not a bad game, it's fairly polished and I can see how some people will get drawn into it because it's higher stakes than something like Arc Raiders. But I can also see how people that play Arc Raiders will hate it and it's not something I'm likely to pay for.
>>734254127marathon threads are the designated shitting street for people to say 2 + 2 = 413 because their entire worldview will collapse if they say it's 4 and someone says they're wrong
>>734254185You are so angry that you can't use my opinion to attack me and try to invalidate my posts lol
you faggots are such annoying fucksgod forbid a game tries a unique aesthetic...the real problem is that this shit cost way too much to make, and its 40$ with micro transactionsand its a PvPvE shit where you unlock skills and upgrades, so you can fight someone who plays for 2 hours a day every day and has every upgrade unlocked and thats just not fair PvP experienceoh and everything resets every 3 monthsfor me, the game is good, I like the aesthetics, but I cannot imagine myself sinking hours into it to be competetive, and its not even f2p
>>734254257sperging out because you got called out is not going to make you look like chad based
>>734254338You will NEVER get anything to use against me and will ALWAYS be my bitch. I hold all the cards here. You have no power. Now continue to SEETHE
>>734254446you're shakingbro walk away from the computer and wash your faceyou're embarrassing
Still second place in global top sales on steam
>>734254313Not a bad take over all but you wrong about someone only playing 2 hours a day being able to have the same level of upgrades as someone who plays much longer.Or if someone whos skilled played 2 hours a day vs a normie 2 hours a day would not have the same level of upgrades unlocked.There actually is a skill gap.I saw tons of idiots being killed by the PVEand so many others completely garbage at PVP. Then I saw the exact opposite.The controller users mostly have trouble as this game has a lot of recoil control and snap aiming needed if you dont wanna die. You literally cant stand still and only a few shots from both runners and the pve ai will take down your shield and at least half your health. Game overall filters people in all aspects, the art, gameplay, systems, etc.The hate is awesomely funny to those of us who actually enjoy the game.
>>734254491>the seethe continueskek
its break even sales prediction would be more than 4 million and lots of cosmetic sales so yeah it is donezo
I actually like the general style of it, but guns are really bad looking and characters are too ugly. Maybe that's intentional to sell more skins.Still not buying it.
>>734254502pre orders not sales and that doesn't mean shit when it's only viable competition is ahead of them
>>734254228Because the people that enjoy this game, not this type of game, this game specifically, are obviously brain dead fanboys or marketing shills that care about brand over quality, which results in the genre and all videos games being watered down to the bare minimum for the sake of shareholders and delusional developers who are just trying to keep their jobs. You may see a good side to the game, but that doesn't outweigh the clear as day negatives it brings to the industry. It's dead on arrival, get used to it, get over it, and move on so the rest of us don't have to waste our time
>>734249452>it was maintaining around half of thayou retards don't understand what maintaining means. peaks are maintaining.
>>734254516bro posts retarded bait because he's afraid of being disagreed withgets disagreed with anywayhis entire world falls apartmsc
>>734254242I'm used to people being dumb, just not foaming from the mouth dumb. I guess I need to wake up
>>734254313>god forbid a game tries a unique aesthetic...>shit with sprinkles is le good! look at the sprinkles!
>>734253945They pay the same that e33 pays
>>734254513Why would you design a game, funded by sony, that filters out controller players? That's incredibly fucking stupid.
>>734254561I don't understand how a game that is a sequel to a 30 year old niche series has fucking fanboys. It makes no sense. People being casually optimistic or drawn to the art style cool I get it but if you go to some communities like reddit there are people acting like this is the second coming of christ. For a long running series like Resident Evil I understand but not for this
>>734254618>words words wordskeep seething bitch lmao
>>734254050There seems to be a demand for extraction shooters at least. It's just that nobody cares for weird experiments like Concord or Highguard.
>>734254637It's not the game, it's the publisher. People still think Bungie it's going to come out with the second coming of Halo.
>>734254671>seething seethe seething seethingthat's all you can sayyou're panicking
>>734254625/v/ was fun until everyone began falseflagging and no one actually had an opinion anymoreeveryone pretended to be a retarded version of someone else and others pretended to fall for itand then they pretended to be angry to bait other people also pretending to be angryso you have entire exchanges regarding people who don't actually existit's quite something
>>734254706calm down lol
>>734254767At least the current shill brigade doesn't understand subtlety in the slightest, so it's far easier to spot them
>>734254823same for you broit's only 4chan
>>734250552if glitch/vandal looked like this in game I would totally buy marathon, even though it's a shitty pvp game.
>>734254832half of it is just shitposters desperate for internet arguments and then half of it is people with an active investment in the state of the game
>>734254845>n...n...no uYou have been seething about me for almost an hour because I pissed you off not giving you an opinion to turn around and use against me lol
>>734254691God help us if they do we've already seen how they butchered the first one. I could not have given a shit about either halo or destiny even while they were alive and im still looking forward to this shit
>>734249037>confirmed to at least pocket 6 gorillion dollar in revenueThat's A LOT of money how the fuck is it in anyway grim?
>>734254894and you've spent just as long because...?
>>734254937because I am laughing at you lmao. Every reply you do is just copy what I say and reverse it thus why you wanted my opinion so badly to reverse it on me and are mad you can't do it.
>>734254893Normally yes, but you can clearly see the marketers who don't even use the same type of prose as we do. I'm fine with the trolls, because at least they stir up real discussion. That's half the reason I for here, but at least the trolls come up with good arguments
>>734254930$40 x 100K is $4Mthat isnot good
>>734249037I'm not into these kind of games, and I do find this whole Concordian saga to be funny, but I believe this will have a moderate success and won't be pulled from service. I doubt they will be able to make the investment back, but it won't be a catastrophic failure, just a regular failure.
>>734249037the predicted preorders on steam alone reach 240k
>>734254937Funniest thing is you replied to a post I made saying to give an opinion I believed in which my post was a true opinion from playing the slam.But then >>734254894That dude you been arguing with replied as me and has been buggin at you for a while now. It is funny him telling you to seethe so much tho! hahahaPicrelYall made my night
>>734254904They'd have a better chance just making up their own IP instead of trying to co-opt older ones. But they're too stupid to even realize that
>>734249108Every one of these spikes is 200-300k people effectively dropping $40 on an expansion, yeah it’s cratered since The Final Shape but you can at least understand why it’s something that had kicked on for a bit. Funnily enough though transferring dev full time to Marathon probably hurt Destiny as well, so in the end it comes back to Marathon.
>>734255028yeah i don't get iti feel like the point of baiting is to not have emotional investment in what replies you getthen he has a 30min long meltdown 4chan is serious shit ig
>>734249037Nuh uh, it's going to sell a lot and make bungie a concordillion dollars!
>>734255016I really want to see this board reaction when the game won't flop
>>734255028It's always fun making these retards seethe who demand you express an opinion because what you said made them mad and thus they want you to say something t turn around on you. Absolutely the lowest IQ 3rd world subhumans do this. Almost all his posts were attempts at effeminate shaming too on an anon board no less as if that works lol
>>734255229True. You did good anon.You are one of the last Waldos left.
>>734255205It's already flopped buddy
don't reply to yourself
>>734255205the game will get its audience and the board will just move on, a few threads will be made once in a while and frequented by actual players, the rest of /v/irgins will conveniently forget they called this game doa, probably preoccupied on making threads for other releases they hope will flop
>>734255205It's not possible for it to not flop. They spent too much on it.
>he's still seethinglmao
>>734255205do you actually believe the playercount will be higher on release than the completely free 5 day long server test?
>>734252790>then it would top the sales and syphon players to it, since it was the best on the market.Not by appealing to the hardcore players which is exactly what they're doing. ARC is popular because it's casual as fuck. Bungie needs hundreds of thousands of players for this shit to pay off and there sure as hell aren't that many hardcore extraction shooter fans waiting around to hop in.
Companies making live service games have sadly drank from the fountain that makes your IQ drop.They go in way too hard in the funding phase, to the point where the game would have to be a breakout success day 1 or the business fails. They need to start thinking smaller, and slowly build a community over months or years.
>>734249037>whispers>layoff whispers startingMEDS
>>734255205nigga it's server test fucking flopped
>>734255409they're too impatient for thatthey want to be the next fortnite and they want results at the end of the business month
>>734249037250m? There's no way. Man, Sony really was just lighting money on fire in the post-covid area. Probably thought the sales trends would be permanent, had no idea that the culture and landscape would change so significantly.250m on an extraction shooter. Incredible. Heads gotta roll for that.
>>734253905I could see guns like these in a sci fi setting, for maximum transportability. No need for custom boxes, just shove them in a box and drop it from the orbit.
>>734249108Bungie didn't have an expected RoI of over $4 billions hang over their head before.
>>734249037>it was sititng at the same place as estoeric ebbhahaha shills are literally going to fucking rope because it sold the same as some indie game
>>734253897People who are slightly less retarded than you have this thing called "object permanence", with this magical ability they can make it so that things do not get removed from reality the moment they can no longer see them. It's dark and evil witchcraft.
>>734255391Yes just like it happened with arc raiders and battlefield, both got their fair share of critiques during their open demos but both got much bigger numbers on release, battlefield costs 60$ and got 300k more players on steam on release compared to the server slam, this board is coping
>>734255352see you on EOS where you demand to see evidence people were ever saying it would flop at all lol.
>>734254313>god forbid a game tries a unique aesthetic...Have something from the archives.
>>734255542Is your mirror covered in paint? Because youre the one coping here little buddy
>>734255542coping about what loss, exactly?
>>734252908Isn’t it a similar situation as Veilguard?Like, that game sold well and had high player counts, but the dev hell was so long and budget so ballooned that it was comically far from ever turning a profit.
>>734255542arc raiders gained players during its test never crashed below 100k concurrent. maraslop was sitting at 19k for the final days
>>734255536That game actually looks pretty cool.
>>734255540>object permanancebrother behind the first person camera nothing even EXISTS
>>734255352>the rest of /v/irgins will conveniently forget they called this game doalmao yeah this board is so predictable, happened already with other games, will happen again in the future, /v/ermins will chase the high they got from concord for the rest of eternity
>>734249037>Needs 7-11M to break evenBig if true. If this is the case it's a flop even if it sells well and that would be catastrophic mismanagement.
>>734255673Does it? Sure the UI might have a pretty color or two but the gameplay is just bing bing shooty we’ve seen a million times before.At least Arc Raiders had those huge robot enemies with impressive AI. What does Marathon have?
>>734255702lol cocky cocksuckers like you were acting the same way with highguard too. neck yourself
>>734255205highguard just died a few days before this slop launches, and that was a free game.it is DEAD on arrival.
>y-y-you HAVE to buy it>anon>DEVS will LOSE THEIR JOBSI know.
>>734255698Wrong you can see your hands, upper arms, torso, lower torso, legs, feet in game. Just gotta look down. You posted a screenshot from old engine, back then and still most fps games today you are a floating camera and you render whatever the player sees from their perspective only. Just look down in a fps and you can tell which type of camera they are using.
>>734255735Nah, the indie CRPG.
Hope it dies, the studio closes, they all get layoffs, and they fuck off to get a real job that's actually useful and tangible to society.
The F2P weekend couldn't hit six digits.The actual release will probably be lower than the F2P weekend.It's fucked.
The red apples will not sell, and their orchards will continue to be closed, until the industry learns.
>>734253541paypigs chad are going to save bungie from the chuds
>>734255869highguard just died and everyone assumes marathon is concord 3and RE9 is great and the new Pokemon/animal crossing game is great, so why buy this for $40?
YOU PISSBABY ECONOMIC TERRORISTS ARE TAKING HEALTHCARE FROM HARD WORKING TRANS FOLX EMAIL RESPONDERS AND FUCKING WITH THEIR THEIR SIX OFFSITE COFFEE BREAKS PER DAY GRIND.
>>734255402I never played it, but R6 siege seemed like a pretty hardcore game of whatever genre youd call it. You die in 1-2 bullets, fights are quick, 90% of the gameplay is prep and reaction etcWas never a game for me but id say it was hardcore for what it was, from what I sawbut look at it now. Gays, troons, wheelchairs. Hard to say if this increases or decreases popularity overall, but clearly they bank on it increasing players, otherwise why do it?If they swapped to inflated HP pools and regen health, im sure they could suddenly appeal to more casual players, which is why every new game is sanitised casualised slop.though mewgenics is a recent counterpoint, games way to hard for casual normies to play. Wasnt made for them at all, though I also doubt he expected 1 million sales so honestly its probably just happenstance that it did so well regardless of appeal
>>734249079>SAAAAAAAAAAR PLEASE STOP SHIT TALKING SONY AND BUNGIE SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR
>>734250552Gameplay was good as well
>>734256005what a retardalso, kek;>food analogySomeone tell this nigger dont sell bad apples with gross bumps on them and expect people to eat them when non-bad apples exist, dont make red apples when people want green apples, dont demand people take your apple just because you tried weel hawud to grow it. They dont owe your their mastication. And yes, being in a circle jerk of blame diffusion is absolutely killing yourself through toxic positivity reinforcement. Yes men arent going to tell you any of this obvious logic, even in food form.
>>734256415Explain how the gameplay is better than others in its genre.
>>734255854One of the major things that makes conservatives eternal losers is that they look at people who write, draw, and sing and say "get a real jerb".Are you going to claim that all of the anti-white misandrist rainbow flag bullshit hasn't effected your environment? And you don't think that this has a mass demoralization effect or informs people on who gets fired or promoted, etc.? Cultural jobs define the mood of your country and show the world the beauty, philosophy, concerns, and dreams of your people. This has been totally surrendered to the left by the absolute cuckoldry that is the conservative movement. We actually need a mass movement to get people on the right into the arts.>Good luck getting investors if you want to tell the story of the American people.This is because of the #1 problem with conservatism, which is that conservatives don't discriminate in favor of their own and don't watch each other's backs. Actually, when the left wing mob comes for their peers, they're proud that they throw them under the bus instead of circling the wagons like the left does. The end result is that people who hate America have taken over every institution while the right can't so much as blink wrong.
>>734256541I am a leftist and I want this game to fail too

>>734256736>didn't explain how he's not an AIDS-riddled slave faggotEasy, I'm not (you).
>>734256670Do you even play games?
After a dozen attempts, Arc Raiders has finally become the first game to make a casual extraction shooter work. So that niche is covered. But I'm still waiting for a successful hardcore extration shooter to compete with Tarkov. Unfortunately no devs aren't willing to try making one. Maybe one day.
>>734256005>walk into his yard>pirate apple from tree>plant in my garden>give free copies of apple to all my friends>watch him seethe from my porch because he knows i took it from his yard but as a personal backup i can make as many copies of apple as i want and all my friends are just looking after them for me
>>734256719>anything that isn't generic Unreal-engine slop is vomit inducingsaaaaar
>>734249037Honest question. How does video games even make money? Say a game cost 100 million to make, even with 10 million sales at 60 dollars, and that’s retail price, not what they’re actually selling it for, that’s still only 60 million dollars.
>>734256798Oh look, another AIDS-riddled slave faggot
>>734249108Sony will be doing the layoffs.
>>734256853No, it's mostly just this game. UE is just as garbage but the real hate come from seeing it everywhere. If you put marathon's artstyle on half the AAA releases in the last 5 years, people would hate it even more than the unreal slop.
>>734249037>The game supposedly has a budget of 250MHow did they spend 250M on a game that is basically a mod for Destiny? They even recycled animations.This shit should have cost 5M tops.Oh, right. It's Bungie scamming Sony out of another big sum.
>>734249664To kill? You retarded or something? Why would they kill finished shit prematurely. They're gonna both enter minimum work maximum payout mode as they work on something new with complete supervision from sony or some other studio, maybe arrowhead.
>>734256897>can’t even explain what he likes about the gameplay>just moves to random insults and sperging when pressedyeah, definitely indian
>>734256872In games purchases you retard how do you not understand that?
>>734249037I still think it will do 200k+ for launch, and 150k at minimum. At the end of the day this is a AAA game by a massive and known studio so people will show up for launch. How it performs after that is the real question
>>734256541Conservatives are infantile subhuman slave golems who make the equation art = pretty pictures. When they experience art depicting something interesting, disquieting or even ugly, they short circuit. This is why they can only make propaganda, kitsch and slop
>>734254313>god forbid a game tries a unique aesthetic...So unique that they had to steal it from a fucking Twitter artist and fire their main art director
>>734257046>can explain how he's not an AIDS-riddled slave faggotyeah, definitely an AIDS-riddled slave faggot
>>734249037Arc chads, we won.
Visual style is shit. You know what else looks shit and ugly? Mewgenics. But if the game is good is doesn't matter. It does look like shit though, fr
>>734257025>the one AAA game with an interesting aesthetic with real design pedigree is conveniently ugly to 4slavesIsn't it significant to you how half the AAA releases in the last 5 years DON'T have this style?4slaves deserve unrealslop and aislop
>>734256541>I hope this game fails because it looks like shit>YOU FUCKING CONSERVATIVElol the fuck?
>>734257056>I still think it will do 200k+ for launch, and 150k at minimumyou people are really retarded. It couldn't maintain 150k for a free beta from Thursday into Friday but it will do better than that because reasons
the funny part is when streamers (paid to play it) have their chats demanding they go back to arc raiders.
>>734257221Arcs playtest before launch went from 188k to 142k from friday - to sunday and then launched to almost 300k.Normalfags don't know anything about "server slams", but they know when the twitch ad tells them MARATROON IS OUT RIGHT NOW BUY IT BUY IT BUY IT and they will consoom.
>>734257181>734255610refer to734255610Next time make it interesting AND good, instead of pretending this abortion is the second coming of christ for videogame artstyle.

>>734257181>Isn't it significant to you how half the AAA releases in the last 5 years DON'T have this style?Marathon has the same painty blurry style as OW. It's nothing like the original concept trailer.

>>734257349Your point stands in knee high sewerage, pajeet

>>734257568what does this have to do with marathon’s supposedly really good gameplay? surely if you actually played it you could elaborate what it does better than its competitors?
How can we RETVRN to form, Marathonsisters? For me, I'll just be doing nothing.
>>734249037Tick Tock, Bungiefags... let's be honest, you never stood a chance.
>>734257627and marathon is being laughed at too retard and their beta server slam mirrored High Guards drop off exactly. How many times do you retards need to be proven wrong?

>>734257714>and marathon is being laughed at tooon /v/ maybe
>>734257757You explain why you're an AIDS-riddled slave faggot then I promise to answer your question
>>734257760ever since they hid dislikes nobody uses them anymore
>>734257760what the fuck does this random music video have to do with anything retard? The game lost over 50% of its player base in a single day during a free beta
>>734257714>mirrored High Guards drop off exactly. How many times do you retards need to be proven wrong?Marathon costs $40 so the people who spent money on it will literally stick around for much longer than a bunch of people trying out a f2p game. You're going to be very disappointed once you realize and accept that we're looking at another XDefiant instead of Concord 3.
>>734257825>Marathon costs $40Good point considering the beta was fucking FREE and the numbers were still dismal which spells disaster now that people have to pay to play
>>734257807>The game lost over 50% of its player base in a single day during a free betaAnd retained almost the same number for the next 3 days despite progress not carrying over to the main release, again, you lost. You're underestimating normalfag consoomer drones.
>>734257721>You have to grow what I want!>But i bought the orchard, so I decide what I grow. If you don't like it you can buy from that other orchard>Nooooooooo! Grow what I want! What I waaaaaaaaant!
Whatever happens, I did nothing
>>734249037There is no way this sells less than 100k. Let's get real now. Come on now. Let's not get retarded. Less than 500k is a real concern though.
>>734257856>Good point considering the beta was fucking FREESo was Arc Raiders test and the $40 launch of Arc Raiders still had a higher CCU than the free weekend they had a week before release.
>>734257857Retained 40-50k over the entire weekend when they expected it to be higher than that. Bungie is in bad shape retard 50k isn't going to cut it for them. Normalfags were good to dodge concord and high guard and they will dodge this
>>734249037they should've just made it a multiplayer looter shooterwho the fuck wants extractslop with destiny pvp gameplay?
>>734257881>I own an orchard and I breed my own apples>I sell them to make a living>People don't like how my apples taste so I don't sell many>I will have to sell the orchard soon if I don't make enough money
>>734257906Yes because that game was better received and had better beta numbers retard and at the same time people despised Bungie for the art theft helping Arc Raiders more
>>734257916It was between 65 and 85k, anon. + Another 150k on PS5 and Xbox during its peak.Again, Concord launched to 700 players. You're looking at XDefiant here, not Concord 3.
The Concord 3 narrative has been completely destroyed
>>734257906Arc Raiders got extremely shilled by ecelebs and Marathon hasn't.
>>734257742>Can't just become a plumber without the knowledge.I already have a decent job. I was being nice to the Bungiefags. Showing them that real jobs are out there.
>>734249037I see regular youtube grifters are already out for blood.
>>734257958No anon towards the end it was hovering at 50k stop lyinghttps://steamdb.info/app/4254230/charts/#maxAnon Bungie called the final shape at 300k concurrent players on steam a failure. This was 1/6th of that towards the end. This might even be worse than Concord as it brings down a legendary studio
>>734257952"People" how many people do you actually think remember or give a fuck now that at some point the art was stolen but then they paid the artist and how he doesnt give a fuck anymore? Its like a bunch of straight lines on wall textures, literal nothingburger
>>734257958>XDefiantThe game that shut down a year later?>>734258008Don't worry anon all the Marathon team will fall upwards.
>>734258047>This might even be worse than Concord as it brings down a legendary studioAhahaha I love the goalpost shifting Everything is Concord 3 if you try hard enough
>>734257951>I breed my own applesAnono, it's fine to like apples but please don't project your fetishes onto me.
>>734258050People still remember and are annoyed thus why the server "slam" had low numbers>it's ok that they stole something it's just textureskek I am going to enjoy watching this bomb you people are scum
>>734258080How did you think new varieties came about?
>>734258074That's not "goal post shifting" since I am stating it's going to be worse than what I am saying that is like moving the goal post forward retard
>>734258095Its not even "they" its just 1 guy that tried to pass off the art as his own and then he got fired, what more do you want?
>>734258141Bungie did this multiple times in the past. I know you so badly want this to go away since its a massive thorn on your side but it never will
>>734254967>>734254937just finished reading this whole reply chainlol, lmao at that guy
>>734249037i see they are already preparing themselves for the possibility of pretty decent player numbers so that they can still call it a flop after spending months griftingi'm getting really tired of these retards and their made up shit
>>734257881>Wait, did I say that you could buy from that other orchard? Sorry, my cabal also forced him to grow red apples! We would have had him defunded if he hadn't, LMAO! We're heading towards a post-green apple world!>We are going to burn your industry to the ground by not buying and laugh while it happens.>WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO US WE ARE SO KIND AND LOVING AND TOLERANT AND GREEN APPLE FANS ARE SO FULL OF HATE WE NEED TO CRUSH EVERY GREEN APPLE ORCHARD
this is going to sell like hotcakes
>>734258249It wouldn't be Concord 3 without overconfidence in its success.
>>734249037Should have made a single-player game exploring the universe of Marathon. Have a multiplayer component.You need to have people invested in your world and that happens with a single player campaign. People enjoy that world so much they then want to play the multiplayer. This game should not have been a GaaS.The issue is not really the visuals (well, except for the dogshit UI) it's just that people are fucking tired of live service games. Stop making this shit. Stop.
>>734249789>alinea analytics steam estimates
The longest it will survive is 3 months imo because normies are going to get pissed off when they realize everything they grinded for goes away. You don't understand these normie gamer dads they massively melted down when they learned about the concept of Diablo 4 ladders and how nothing they do carries onto the next season. They will go to Destiny communities and talk about how they only have an hour to play a day and how they finally got a raid weapon that everyone else got 3 years ago already. These people can't handle wipes. I can already predict Bungie might delay the wipe it if the numbers are bad
>>734249079>indian poster>thinking about going on train tracks
>>73425804750k on monday when the playtest ended that day, and again, progress doesnt carry over.you fucking lost, concordcuck
>>734258347>normies are going to get pissed off when they realize everything they grinded for goes awayNormies REALLY hate resets.t. I made incremental games with reset mechanics. Your game will only be popular with casuals if you can eliminate the reset.Marathon should really have an eternal server where you get shoved to when the new season starts.
>>734258061>The game that shut down a year later?Exactly, it'll be slow and boring, but Concordfag here cant accept that and thinks it'll be shut down within a month.
>>734249037Highguard showed that steam had less players than Xbox. Steamchart threads are useless for multiplats.
>>734257790No, I asked first, so you answer first. Since you can’t, I assume you are just an Indian shill who didn’t play the game.
>>734258454over 50% lost player base from Thursday to Friday meaning those who couldn't play due to work did not give a fuck about this game since the numbers kept going down as the weekend progressed. That is embarrassing. You retards kept saying "wait till Saturday the numbers will go up again" and all vanished when it didn't
>>734258493>Steamchart threads are useless for multiplats.They're good enough to track if a game is a failure. We now even have enough data for gamepass games.
>>734258196>You must grow green apples!>But I don't want to>FUCK YOU FUCKING APPLE NAZI I WILL BURN YOUR BUSINESS TO THE GROUND!>Why don't you grow your own red apples if you like them so much?>... TO THE GROUND I SAID!
It was an obvious mistake to not have progress carry over from the free weekend. Make it valid for like a month. Maybe even give them a special cosmetic if they made a certain amount of progress (maybe something that would take like an hour to get) during the free weekend and then bought the game.>You wouldn't want to lose that progress, would you? You can pick up right where you left off!But that just speaks to the fact that modern Bungie has no idea what it's doing.
>>734250903Please tell me that pic wasn't a serious thing at the time
>>734258547The playtest ended on monday 6pm in Europe, 2 hours before peak numbers for EU and 8 hours before peak numbers for NA.And still managed 50k despite progress not carrying over.YOU LOST, it won't be Concord. It's been the top seller on Steam behind RE9 for 4 days now. 200k incoming.
5k players in one month, all in
>>734257906Arc is a bare bones game held together by ductape, as a game itself its a mediocre title. But it does one thing incredibly good: player interaction. Its like a glimpse to web 1.0. Zoomers love it because they grew up with the gay and lame web 2.0, and can get those breadcrumbs from a better time. Millenials and even gen X gets their nostalgia by it. Its a win win.
>>734258627Peak numbers were on Thursday you lying retard and consistently went downward from that point. That means the majority of people tried it on Thursday and dropped it since 24 hours later that lost over 50% of their base. >top sellermeans nothing when the very next game on the list is a $20 indie meme RPG retard
>>734258627It has no serious competition, it just got there after lingering below 50, and RE9 has been out for a few days.Arc Raiders is going to beat it on launch day.
>it won't fail as fast as concord>but it will failthats basically the argument going on here
>>734249484Extraction shooters are already like that. The real reason they do wipes is to keep you running on the treadmill like a good rat. People who are at endgame get bored and that's not good for player retention.
>>734258742Is this even an argument or just a statement?
>>734258703You fucking retard peak numbers per day, i even gave you the times, 2 hours and 8 hours before peak time per day, you can't even use your brain hahahaha>IT WILL BE CONCORD IT JUST WILL OKAY????Concords free test had a player peak of 2.3kJust give up, accept you lost.
>>734258694I can't speak for how it plays because I haven't but it looks like a far more polished game than Marathon.
>>734249037Triple dip for me anon, since I won't be buying it.
>>734255540So it's like buying an NFT except you don't even get to look at the image, you just get told to trust you have it.lmao
>>734249037Why does "cooking" mean good, but "cooked" means bad
You can give these people the actual numbers the game stabilized at in the playtest and they'll still tell you it was actually 50 players
>>734258814Seesm to be yeah
>>734250552Is that why they stole the art?
>>734258819You didn't give me anything you retard what numbers are you talking about show me your proof? You aren't even making sense and trying to pass bullshit inflated numbers. What numbers are you referring to and show me where you are citing these numbers?I already said it's going to be worse than Concord retard
>>734258819Anyone who's ever said that it's going to get 2k peak concurrent is retarded. This is a Bungie game. The brand name automatically puts it into the five digit range.What we're saying is that it's not going to be anywhere near as big as it needs to be. This can't just sell a million copies. It has to be one of the most successful games of the year.
>>734258904>stabilized>more than half lost since day 1>you can see the it continues to fall downward from that point
>>734250552It doesn't look anything like CoD what do you mean good art style?
>>734258863For comparison. Arc is simply a better looking game by a mile.
>>734258904Show me the poster who said it was 50 players and wasn't doing it for comedy's sake. I'll agree that he's retarded, BTW.What we're arguing is that there's a good chance that the actual launch will have a lower peak than the free weekend.
>>734258863Rugged survivalist adventure>>734259004Legos (and that's really not the worst of what it has to offer)
tortanic ruined a whole generation of election tourists
look how mad they get over concord getting a 3rd game in the series
>>734259106Even discounting the stylistic differences it just seems like half finished and unappealing by comparison. I never saw anything half as interesting as that destroyed robot in Marathon and despite the buildings being painted freaky colours the world overall just feels grey and dead.
>Concord 2>Dustborn 2>Concord 3>all within a month of each otherWho said that development times were getting overly long?
>>734258904>count keeps dropping every day>only reason it didn't keep dropping the next day is because the beta ended but if it kept going it would clearly keep dropping based on that rateyou people are such disingenuous pieces of shit
This game looks f*cking amazingReminds me of Mirror's Edge
>>734258863Arc maps look really good, its obvious that is where the heavy lifting has been done, but then when it comes to the actual game you'll start noticing smaller problems. And there is a LOT of those and they pile up. The best way to put it is its not polished hard enough, it has this "novice game dev who hired good 3D artists" feeling in it. I think vanilla WoW is a good comparison. The game itself is not that good, but everything around it: the environment, the people who play it, the sounds, and the overall feeling of it makes it good.
Why am i supposed to hate this game?
>>734254626Anon, the aesthetics of marathon are simply repulsive.
>>734259364More soulless games as a service slop that is chasing trends
>>734249037Will some one think of the million dollar company.
>>734259317You might like this game then
>>734259364You didn't say you liked it.
>>734259386>More soulless games as a service slop that is chasing trendsThis is correct, its not a concord 3 but its a extraction shooter that has to make back a gargantuan budget for what it offers which it has no chance in hell of doing since its competing with tarkov and the billion other extraction shooters that try to emulate tarkov.
>>734249037if it was singleplayer it had a chance. Live service games are aids and extraction shooters are just virtual chores.
>>734259398It's not the colors but the way they bleed
>>734259386Yup it's Concord 3 and anyone would be wise not to spend any money on it.
>>734250552>the people defending the artstyle only ever played CoD and realistic shit Oh ok I get it now
>>734259497Bungie devs begged them to do something else. One pushed a Halo 3 like campaign and PVP mode set in the Marathon universe and was rejected
>>734259559I will say this for Marathon: The game looks better inside buildings that it does outside them.
>>734259559The only things bleeding are my eyes.
>>734259658Sorry to hear that, pal.Hope you get better
>watching a streamer play this dog shit>every time he is attacked he needs to inject himself with 3 different syringes>cool down for abilities is too highDoes not look fun at all
>>734256005Dont be a red apple Richard next time, retard.
I have anti-woke fatigue. A shit game cannot just be a shit game, everything has to be a culture war battleground.
>>734249037What cost 250 million dollars? How?How was thsi spend? If they provide me with a spreadsheet on how them money was spend I'll give them 120$ no problem.The I'll sell a course on how to never fucking ever make video games like this.
>>734259673This happens in every shooter out today
>>734259716Yea and it's dogshit and not fun
>>734250552Want good art. Go play Arknights Endfield. They actually know what to do with that color pallet.
>>734249037for a game that is called marathon this was very quick run lel
>>734259673>>every time he is attacked he needs to inject himself with 3 different syringesThis one is nonsense yeah.
>>734259680Nice
>>734259731I cant argue with that but they were likely using the trash heals that you get from free kits that barely heal so you need a lot of them. If you actually buy or find the proper ones, you dont need more than 1 or 2 and they go much faster
>>734259792Any game that requires me to run away and inject shit to heal and it's a slow process is dogshit garbage. It's inexcusable
>>734259716only the apex clones do this shit
>>734249037i had fun in the beta (i'm not calling it a "server slam") but i'm still not buying it because i know the population is going to be nothing but turbosweats after the first week
>>734258929You fucking retard playernumbers have a daily peak. 8pm EU and 3am EU for the NAfags. The test on monday ended at 6pm and still hit 50k despite no progress carrying over. Youre a retard. This wont be another Concord, you lost
>>734259759>play>gacha
>>734256005funny, I don't know anything about this guy but from this one tweet alone I can deduce he is a faggot.
>>734259792No there are literally two different healing items required for your health bars (never mind that they are also generally shit so you need to inject yourself with like 3 of each of them to full heal) it's just unnecessary clunkiness.
>>734259891Everyone could. That's why he fled to trannysky.
>>734259880Yes and exactly 24 hours after peak which was euro time it lost over 50% of its players you stupid dishonest fuck and kept declining to the very end. That was in a single day Thursday to Friday. The entire Marathon community didn't hit max level and progress from Thursday to Friday you dishonest fuck it's more like people tried it and hated it. Enjoy Concord 3 retard I will stick mock you even when you run away from these threads in shame next week because I know you will still read them
>>734259673This is the result of 30+ year old men. People that played CS, UT, BF, CoD and so on in their teens and 20s are now old. They have a family, their reflexes are shit and they haven't touched a shooter in ages. So instead of you know training and getting good at shooting and tactics, they enjoy these retarded busy games called Extraction shooters where you do useless crap and run around like a scared pussy not actually shooting anyone. Then when you actually kill someone you get a gigantic dopamine rush. But most of the time your KDA is below 1. I was so fucking happy when BF6 came out and it's just a game about shooting people. Thats it. I shoot someone. I get good at aiming. No downtimes, no bullshit. I wish Arena shooters would come back but everyone today is too pussy to play them because they don't want to die 15 times to someone thats actually good. They don't want to improve. They just wanna shut their brain and play fucking Ark Raiders.
>>734249452>>734250757Do you even know how to count? If they get 10x more sales on consoles that's a total of 990k sales. So not even close to the 7-11M they need to break even
>>734259869lol its always the same story. >First 24 hrs: Having a blast>48 hrs: social media showing best farm routes and optimal spawns>72 hrs: duping bug trashed economy, BEST EXPLOIT BEST LOADOUT BEST FARM>2 weeks later: everyone running the same shell and same loadout. Everyone max level and bored. Casuals get farmed at quest locations by sweats. Youtubers make smurfs to kill noobs for clips. Everyone runs out of shit to do and the game dies until wipe.
>>734259680man its been a long time since ive seen comicguyin the age of AI, I actually appreciate hand made shitposts so much more now.
>>734256005>I'm going to grow red apples! I know everyone in a 40km radius hates red apples, everyone wants green ones, no restaurant or store chain will buy my red apples, but I'm still going to do it! Just to own the chuds!">I now have a 500k debt and put fries in the bag. I also have gonorrhea and herpes because I'm a retarded faggot. Clearly trump and chuds are at the fault.
>>734260041You list all this like its absolutely inconcievable that the devs could release patches to fix these things
>>734260121>NEW BEST LOADOUT FASTEST FARM *AFTER PATCH*
>>734256005>Tries to peddle red apples in the green apple area>Wonders why red apples aren't wanted
>>734260121People won't wait for the devs to maybe fix something. They'll just go back to whatever game they've invested in and works for them.
>>734249037Save it? We shouldn't be rewarding the industry for making bullshit.>but the poor devsCan find other work or start their own studios. The latter would be preferable.
>>734259559This is a very ugly hallway.Here's yellow done right. Bringing a touch of fiery warmth to the cold, lonely night.
>>734249789>barely more than burglin' gnomesIt's over
>>734259684>waaah, stop rejecting my WOOOOKE MESSAAAAGINGGGGno, fuck off. Dont like anti-woke sentiment? stop making things woke.How many anti-woke messages did you see in 2003? zero? zero.
>>734260041yup, bungie had to nerf movement speed because people in the closed alphas were memorizing every spawn location and bumrushing them for easy kills kekand wipes being every three months is ironically shit for casuals since they'll never reach the high-rank faction unlocks before a wipe whereas sweats will grind that out in a day every time
>>734260225>when the gnomes beat Dustborn 2 AND Concord 3#ourgnomes
If it's on steam i'm reconsidering buying it for PS5pro. Because something as disgusting as steam would ruin it with association.
>>734249037>>Predictions expect 100k topsThey're way lowballing itBoth the public beta performance and preorder ranking on steam/console suggests a far higher number than thatI predict 1-2 million sales week 1
>>734260121In this attention economy? People get bored and move on instantly. Mind you they're competing against literal porn, tiktok, and crypto gambling.
>>734256541>all that wall of text cope over someone referring to garbage collectors and street cleaners having actual value unlike your game development job that only produces pollution as a tangible effect on the real world via energy wastelmao
I don't think the game will bomb and complete the Concordian trilogy, I think it will do ok, not bad but not the smash hit Sony wants after so much money was poured into the studio, the fans will say the chuds are owned, and a few months later the layoffs begin
>>734259684>I have anti-woke fatiguePic somewhat related, but im too lazy to edit it to fit better.The only people who say this are people who want to push woke agendas but dont like being called out for it. The default should be anti-woke because thats what the industry was before THEY invaded it.you are effectively saying "im tired of people complaining about the people invading us" something only a retard or a spy would say.
>>734260268So Failguard numbers?
>>734260267This post smells like poop.
>>734260289You retards who keep saying this don't understand Bungie is dying and need a major hit. "Ok" is no different than disastrous.
>>734260289The Concordian Prophecy is written, Marathon will fall
>>734260230>>734260329What woke messaging is Marathon pushing?
>>734259983And it still retained 70k so you lost. It wont be Concord 3, just accept it.
>>734253183it's ergonomically sound, fibonaci sequence n shit
>>73426043870k would be Concord 3.
