>Art style filters the normalfags>Genre filters the casuals>Being made at the expense of Destiny filters the destinytardsThe same people who will say 4chan or /v/ is worse off because it got too popular and infested with normalfags will try to pretend this game not having a bloated population of fotm tards is a bad thing. Marathon won. Because if it had actually lost they wouldn't need to screech it endlessly for weeks. They would let things speak for themselves.
Concord 3
botted tranny game
>>734463867It's filtering so many plebs that it's gonna shut down. Brilliant.
>>734463867Damn that's crazy, whatever you wroteStill not playing it
>>734464008>T-two more weeks bros...
>>734464008Pretty unlikely actually, it's got a cult following and there are games like Tarkov that average about 10k-15k players that have been going for years. As long as they make good skins it'll be fine.
>Art style filters the normalfags
>>734464330>Posting a pic made by a guy who is quite literally, this moment, currently on steam playing Marathon
>>734463867And picrel filters you.
>>734464517Filters me from what exactly?
>>734464551Legitimacy.
Soo, lemme get this straight. This game ALREADY has more fan art than deadlock and e33 combined? Yowza.
>Nobody is buying my game? Reee you all got filtered! Us hardcore players love battlepass and mtx!
>>734464517>>734464587
>>734464587Do you have an actual answer?>>734464646>Heh I made up a goal for the amount of people to play and it didn't reach it, that means n-no one is playinglol
how could a game that looks like this fail to gain a real audience, i have no idea
>>734463867isn't this the game where the company paid millions of dollars to model nigger hair accurately or something?i'm happy being called a casual normalfag as long as i don't have to play thisyou enjoy playing with whoever plays this
If I keep saying no one is playing maybe it'll come true...bungie deserves to suffer for not making destiny 3
>>734463867>We made a game tailored to the gayest camping faggots in the world to headshot people across the map in with laser snipers with thermal sights though the fog>Everybody else with taste in games got filtered out into games that don't suck
>>734464743>no one is playingYup.Now bow to your betters.
>>734464173this game cost 250M to make and another 3.5B to buy the studio. this shit is not surviving with 10k players
>>734464909How much it took to make is relevant, it's about how much it takes to keep it going, shutting the game down won't magically recoup the development budget, you are aware of that right?>>734464852I play both, now what?>>734464842>Seething cause he's bad at the gameMy point exactly.
why did bingo make this instead of printing money with d3. if they live marathons so much then make a sp and focus on d3? stupid
>>734464517Any other games like that?
>>734464952It's ok faggot you can go be good at camping in a game for faggots if you want to. You don't need to keep trying to get us to come play it as well.
>>734465006yeah I hate when big companies take chances and don't play things really safe and appeal to the lowest common denominator
>>734463867which one of you faggots is this?
shill thread
>>734465019I never camp and I'm not a soul here cares if you play, take your meds
>>734465072So if not by camping something and blowing away whoever walks around the corner how do you actually survive in this game?
If there are a select group of non normgroids that actually like an appreciate the game, then thats cool. Unfortunately its just not my type of genre, besides, lately for some reason, I havent been able to play or enjoy games, and I know its not depression, because I was way more depressed months ago, that I had to go to therapy and I could still play games. I am in support of anybody enjoying a game that is special for them, that normally wouldnt be made, because it doesnt appeal to normtards.
>>734465046>If I was a dev I would feel suffocated. I wouldn't be fixing bugs, I'd be hiding, crying, shaking in the corner.mental illness.
>>734463867these online competitive games are all for normalfags though. not just shooters but all of them like mobas and shit too, these people don't play real video games and actual /v/irgins don't play these games. you're outing yourself as a normalfag tourist
>>734465115Be aware of your surroundings? Turn down the music so you can hear foot steps, don't just sprint everywhere. If you're asking for genuine advice I'm not really sure what to tell you, I've been playing shooters for like 30 years so it's just second nature its not something I'm really thinking about at this point. Try playing in squads if you're doing solo, it'll be easier to notice a group rather than one person.
>>734465131That's fair, try doing something that isn't gaming anon, sometimes you gotta reset your dopamine receptors. You probably got that advice already but there isn't much else to it. Also take vitamin D+K supplements in the morning and at night.
>>734465221>You sit in a dark alcove listening for footsteps and then blow away whoever comes around the cornerAs I said. Camping.
>>734465326You know you can listen for things and move at the same time, right?
>>734465019>>734465115>>734465326>these are the literal mouth breathers seething at this game
>>734465349But then you make noise and might bumble around a corner and get shot yourself so it's better to just sit still and wait for them to come to you.
I'm enjoying it, I get extraction shooters are inherently a niche genre since the average gamer can't handle losing loot when dying in PvP but the hate for this game is clearly very forced and based more on politics than the actual quality of the game itself.
>>734465221yo this nigga is giving tranny game protips and also outed himself as being 40 years old on /v/ lmao
>>734465287>Also take vitamin D+K supplements in the morning and at night.Hah. You sound like my mom. Youre probably right, I'm just bad about doing routine things due to my ADHD. I've been trying to read lately and it make it even harder to want to play games because now I have more that I can do other than games, that doesn't involve the kind of commitment videogames demand, just for them to end up disappointing you. Its like I don't even want to go through the process of playing games anymore without a purpose, just to be disappointed again, but at the same time I don't just want to play games I strictly "know" will be good for other complicated reasons I won't bore anyone with mentioning.
>>734465474Tell me Mr Marketeer, what qualities does it have over Hunt Showdown or Arc Raiders? (besides looking like absolute 3D printer vomit)
>>734465046This sort of thing creeps me out man. It's either some weird fetish LARP from some entrenched redditard wishing the incels/nazis/chuds/whatever they're calling them this week would so easily "see the light". Or it's some spineless retard just going any way the wind takes him, no real convictions, no real thought to any of it, just one culture war position to the next, just whatever hits him at that right sleep-deprived, maybe a little drunk or high, manic state is his personality for the next week or month.
>>734465474crying about politics and other red herrings is not going to get the users you lost back and in fact furthers the reputation of bungie diehards as head in ass whiners
>>734465653Never played Shadowdown, I also play Arc Raiders though, not sure why it has to be one or the other >>734465816this is literally the first bungie game I've played since the Halo days
>>734465653I like arc but its art style is painfully generic and uninspired, the cover kind of tricks you into thinking its going to have this retro 80s style to it but it doesnt at all
>>734465017Too many
>>734464551Ok can you send more and quickly
>>734463867I'm genuinely impressed Bungie managed to push out this game as a flagship, very avantgarde artstyle, sweaty as shit gameplay, it's never going to be popular with casuals and those that treat multiplayer games as a chatroom yet they did it anyway.Could've just made a mobile Destiny game or something and make billions from the Chinese.
>>734467854yeah and they're being shit on for it, these people ragging on it for the sake of it don't realize they're just making companies that less likely to take any risks they don't care though its not like they play video games
>>734465653Arc looks like it'll lean into a retrofuturistic design but doesn't, at all, most of the game just looks like generic realism.Also Embark painstakingly removed any semblance of PVP from the game, it's now a wholesome PVE Helldivers clone where you emote and chat with your third person view, take down some AI enemies then leave, it's geared for gamer dads.
>Art style filters the normalfagsthere's not one person alive that unironically thinks this
>>734464789>Redditbob
>>734467753wtf is this picture
>>734467931I think this. They're no Designers Republic but I've wanted a game aping their style for years, I'll take what I can get. Everyone does the gritty type of cyberpunk these days.
>>734468083If the game actually looked like Wipeout in game I wouldn't mind but they have completely butchered it at least actually in game which is what you are looking at 90% of the time.
>>734463867As much as I'll applaud any game made for a niche audience, that sticks to its guns and doesn't water down the experience in order to appeal to a wider democratic, that's not Marathon. Why? Because of it was, they wouldn't have called it Marathon. You don't slap an existing IP on a game that's barely even related to that IP, unless the goal is to maximize revenue. Marathon cost to much to be niche, and will fail unless they keep the player count high enough for long enough. I don't think it will collapse like Concord or Highguard, but I also don't see it staying relevant for long. Ultimately, Bungie made a bad bet and I afford them no sympathy
>>734463867>Art style filters the normalfagsFiltering anyone who doesn't have a Cluster B personality disorder isn't exactly a flex.
>>734465474>but the hate for this game is clearly very forced and based more on politics and that's a good thing. games are political.
>>734463867Reel it in bro. Its over bungle is done they wont make it through the year without being completely liquidated or gutted of their staff
>>734469115All the cluster B types have been obsessively posting steam chart numbers all day every day for weeks now
>>734464173Tarkov has that amount on steam. The majority of the player base bought the game from bgs directly because the game was not on steam for years.Tarkov is also ran by a smaller studio in Russia. They have less overhead because of size and currency.
>>734464381imagine the rimjobs
>>734463867What is this art style called? It was prevalent during the late 90s and early 2000s. Especially the obsession with the fluro.
>>734464743>eh I made up a goal for the amount of people to play and it didn't reach it, that means n-no one is playingYeah, that's pretty much what the suits do.
>>734470034You aren't a suit
>>734467906what did marathon do differently from other games, besides being gayer system shock in terms of art style?
>>734470129Point out another triple A game with this kind of backing and expectations that did a niche genre known for scaring off casuals with an out there art style
>>734463914Dont forget to credit the streamer you got that joke from anon. Gotta shout em out, new rule around here.
>>734463867Thursday -> friday -10,000 players
>>734470168highgaurd and concord. now, what did it do differently, gameplay wise? its just a generic shooter.
>>734470241>highgaurd and concord.Wrong. Concord was a generic hero shooter with a generic disney art style.Highguard was a bit more out there gameplay wise with the bases but the art style was still generic. > its just a generic shooter."Generic shooter" is a nothing statement. There's a dozen different types of shooters. Extraction shooters are one of the least tapped into genres because it's very punishing. There literally isn't another extraction shooter with this sort of budget/backing, every other one is small to mid sized.
But the game IS designed for casuals?Abysmally low TTK, dogshit AI enemies that all behave in an extremely predictable way, limited movement options, too few players on the map when going soloThis game has a nice art style but also fails to be soulful, the entire game is incredibly lifeless and it's visually very uneven quality-wiseIndoors look nice but once you step out the game is fugly, legitimately one of the most bland and forgettable environments I've ever seen, straight out of a no man's sky biomeThe maps also look and feel utterly lifeless, in arc Raiders you can feel the life around you even when you're isolated, Marathon still feels like an alpha, it's like I'm wandering on a custom map in a dead server that shows 2/32 players as the neutral enemies fail at bringing any life to the worldIt's just not exciting, game could've been good but in the end it's just the most unique looking dogshit goyslop we got in the last years
>>734470241>this nigga thinks marathon and concord are the same genrelol
>>734468839This. Natural Selection 2 is a soulful niche fps made for a specific audienceMarathon is half assed
>>734470323>those games were generic!yes, just like marathon is >marathon isnt a generic shooter!it does nothing different from anything else in the genre. it's a generic shooter with an artstyle like system shock. there's nothing unique about marathon, other than it being part of an exclusive club of games that killed it studio.
>>734470352low TTK is not casual friendlyAI are highly punishing outside the first map, in fact it was a big complaint for the server slam that the AI were too hard to deal withlimited movement options is true, but it's not what the game is going fora game where you lose your loot when dying is inherently not casual friendly>soulless/lifelessBuzzwords, discarded.
>>734470439>Can't readSasuga brownoid
>>734470369they are. games that ended up killing there studio is a new developing genre, you see. idk if its sustainable tho....
