>marathon is ba-
>>734765059i think it's pretty good. i dont see how you guys have the energy for all this culture war stuff all the time.
>>734765165you aren't fooling anyone, faggot - and the asians keep releasing game after game with $70 dollar price tag mogging the shit out of your games at half that price
>>734765431people who play it like it
>>734765512I don't like it
>>734765059>Extraction slop / BR type game is popular with normies>Water is wetWhat's different to Rust, tarkov, DayZ, Arma and all the other 100 slop extraction style games before it?
>>734765059I don't even keep up with this game I just see it has good reviews and hear people think it's shit for some reason. What actually is the issue, real or fake, with it?
>>734765512No shit.
>>734765512so 50k people out of a gaming audience of hundreds of millions is good then?
>>734765059>the game isn't a flop look at these botted reviews!
>>734765869some mentally ill anons got loose
>>734766075Why would you bot a full priced game
>>734766352full priced games are $70 now, anon. Stop coping.
>>734765869there's a general hateboner for bungie after the way destiny 2 has gone. beyond that, the internet needs a "next thing to hate" because bad is better than good for engagement when it comes to streamer and influencer culture.
>>7347651657 is bungie's favorite number
>>734766649>the internet needs a "next thing to hate"bullshit, we just hate your jonestown cult western corpo DEI environment and all the money it wastes
>>734766857what are you even talking about man
>>734766508>newly released>major AAA title>sold at retail cost>no discounted nor indieAre we making up shit now?
>>734765165A lot of time to argue about video games when you don't play them.
>>734766039Your opinion is utterly worthless if you have to outsource your thinking to a robot
>>734766920>>734767039>>734766923Fake ignorance and baiting jews
>>734765059Marathon seems like a niche product that was probably overly invested, but is probably something that would scratch the itch of some people here. Due to how extroverted (Thinking) /v/ is where the only thing that matters is how many other retards play the same shit I play (Unless it's something obscure I Actually like) then that is just something that is a problem for Bungie.
LOOK AT THE REVIEWSWE'RE ALL HAVING A BLAST
>>734767890
>>734767562How does that change the fact that you had to use a robot to think for you?
>>734768000aren't the devs of embark studios using robots as well so they could avoid spending too much money in development?
>cum? swallowed>balls? chopped>wife? blacked>blast? havedYep... ITS MARATHON TIME!
>>734765059listen here. theres a bunch of gay dudes who worked on this game, and I'm still mad about destiny 2 because of my immense sunk cost, alright? that's all I need to hate it, and that's all there is to it.
>>734765059
>>734768691Why are you projecting your fantasies?
>>734769103why did you make that instead of having a blast in marathon?
>>734766649>beyond that, the internet needs a "next thing to hate" because bad is better than good for engagementI hate stuff cause nothing good is being released now. Heck i want to play a mid single player extraction shooter and nobody is doing that. It is all worthless GaaS competing for the same saturated market. All AAA studios must die. Go back to white male nerds doing games they want to do.
>>734769182you wouldn't know about having any blast
>>734769182im literally waiting for my friend to drink his coffee between rounds you fucking wanker

>>734768781kek but I think the zoomers that browse this acursed place won't get it
im not buying thisplease stop pinging me and talking about it, it rouns my shing-shi or some shi
Where are the nude mods? Surely a successful and popular game would have them
>>734765165They dont play video gamesMost of these culture warriors play gacha btw
I see the cope is strong in this false ignorance cope thread.
>>734770217It's the jews who want you outsourcing all your thinking to their robots rather than thinking for yourself
>>734765059This game is exclusively played by americans, so reviews are meaningless, they have not enough cognition to review a game, they are mindless golems.Also literal troons>>734769253
>>734770219Yeah. Hey you little broccoli haired shits, the guy in the middle is DEAD. But they other two carry him around and act like he's alive.
>>734770676> pajeet spams the same thing over and over pathetic
>>734765059Sorry xir (you will never be a woman) but my pronouns are non/buynary and i will not be buying your dying woke flop game im sorry i just wont HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>734765165> i dont see how you guys have the energy for all this culture war stuff all the time.It’s surprisingly easy when you don’t spend 30 hours of your life + $40 on the latest Concord sequel (plus an additional amount of unlimited time defending a clear flop on /v/). More entertaining, too.
>>734770908You incels are going to destroy gaming as a hobby with your psychopathic behavior
>>734770738That's rich, Asians invented MTX and Gacha
>>734765059How do you manage to get a worse review score at release than veilguard?
>>734771696No DEI boost.
why can't we admit it's unironically a blast?
im having a blast
>>734765165The thing is, you don't actually have to play every new video game. Extraction slop does nothing to earn the player's time.
>>734770898Calling me a jew or a pajeet wont change the fact that you're a retard if you need a robot to think for you.
>>734768781
>>734765059>-sed
>>734774570The visuals of this game genuinely hurts my eyes.
I'm having a blast

>>734765165>not wanting to wear the Fell For It Again Award for the hundredth time after a skinsuit company makes unappealing AAA slop gets shat out on a plate is culture war stuffI remember when Destiny 2 was considered okay, or even bearable.
>>734774570>absolutely unload on a dude>barely tickle him>get shot for .2 seconds>lose half your healthhow do people play this dogshit
Wow, look at all those people playing it!Surely, the people who review it on steam aren't shills and/or aren't high on cope!
>>734777771weekday peak one week in being only 25% lower than friday launch peak is good
>>734777491blue shield vs no shield
Oh wow.Another shooter.Still not as good as Quake 3 Arena.
>>734765059Have you guys talked about the lore of the game yet? It's one of things i'm very interested in.As far as i know its supposed to be set after the other OG Marathon games? And recently Durandal has been communicating with the Runners on Tau Ceti? How and why is he back there?Is the game's Timeline set in Marathon 2's original timeline or is it set in one of the weird timelines in Infinity?
>>734780173original timeline, it recons infinity
>>734778887This game blows but you Quakeniggers needed to rope a long time ago
>>734777491the overrun is the worst ar in the game
>>734765059Looks alright and I'd probably give it a go if it were free.Not paying $40 though.If you want to run a nickel and diming live service entry needs to be on you.
>>734765059All live-service slop is bad by default.

>>734766020So you're saying that people who tried it liked it -> the game is good. You're not a very smart individual are you? You didn't even use the stats meme correctly, as I'd expect from someone who graded really low in high school math let alone went to uni and took stats classes. Kek
>>734769103Are you the one who made this?
>>734777198>biggest items wielded by the enemy take the longest to load when lootingItems should appear based on slot size first, then random fill
>>734783978>the stats memeis this what zoomers are calling it now
>>734765059is it one of those games where nothing happen for 15 minutes and then you suddenly get killed by a bush in less than a second?the artstyle and gunplay looks neat tho
I am seeing more marathon ads even more then the first few days after launch. They are going all out on marketing the launch must have been brutal.Sorry sony, dudebros who would have loved this are all playing sports betting apps now.
>>734765059>StS2 only has 16% more reviews than Marathon but 6.5x the peak concurrent playerbase interesting...
>>734788460oh yeah almost forgot this
>>734765059Blast status?
>>73478852660% has quit it's over
>>734787958Kekkkkk
>>734772927If they referenced a graph or a chart you'd say they need a graph or a chart to think for them
>>734789642STS2 is in early access LOL
>>734765059It's because of the free test. Anyone who didn't like what they saw refunded it, leaving only those who enjoyed it. Marathon's player cycle seems normal even if figures are low.
>>734789945Those cycles mean the game has a small playerbase in one region. People outside of NA can't play this game lol
>>734790032yes but that's not strange. game rarely has equal numbers everywhere worldwide.
>look at da numbas guys>if everyone isnt playing it then it bad
>>734790076>game rarely has equal numbers everywhere worldwide.false, all successful AAA games do
I find it funny how humans work, a slight downtrend in player numbers will lead people to think the games dying which will then make them not play or invest in the game leading to lower player numbers. same thing happens with twitch viewer countsits obvious why the devs want to hide them
>>734790343Given it's something we're supposedly so good at there are people who seemingly cannot recognize patterns.
>>734789756>if [made up scenario] you would do [thing that contradicts your argument]No, actually, I wouldn't.
>>734790343One of Demon's Souls' themes is how a lot of people merely believing something is true is enough for that thing to actually become true.
>>734790921Yes you would.
>>734765059We lost. We failed to kill it.
>you justI didn't>but what ifIt wont>It's reallyIt's not
>>734790343Marathon's numbers have only ever gone down though, whether at the start of the playtest or on release.
>believe me when I tell you Marathon is going to go huge, chud>look at Marathon topping these Steam top seller charts, chud>listen to all this praise Marathon is getting from the gaming press, chud>let us fill the catalog with shill threads, chud>you're part of our culture war now, chud>and we're beating you in it, chud>stop looking at the steam charts, chud>stop discrediting the toxic positivity surrounding our game, chud>stop calling out Bungie's anti-consumerist practices, chud>stop criticizing the game, chud>stop doing nothing and winning, chud>we're having a blast, chud
game is okay desu but i leave for japan for 2 months on monday so i guess if the servers havent been shut down by the time i get home ill buy a cheap key for it jej
>>734765059i mean there's literally nothing to dothere's less content than that assetflip game that took off last year apex raiders or whateverthe shooting is tight but that's just because its destiny reskinnedspeaking of which, how are destiny fans taking this? they could have just put this in destiny as a game mode.
>>734790032>People outside of NA can't play this gameThis is 100% true, second and third worlders got priced out of modern hardware and Marathon is definitively a modern game. A good amount of people shitposting don't even have the option to play it.
>>734792692Content drop on 2 weeks Season 2 new player influxTrust the plan
>>734794982I thought season 2 wasn't until June?
>>734765059I'd have already bought it if it came with a single player campaign. Maybe they should learn their own lessons on how to establish a mega popular scifi IP instead of copying random indie games.
>>734794650>how are destiny fans taking this?The sane ones were incensed long before Marathon's release due to Bungie attempting to implement a draconian MTX scheme in D2, vaulting paid DLC content and sunsetting the game prematurely. They're not at all happy about the focus shift to Marathon, since it has nothing whatsoever to do with the game they actually wanted to play, which is a fixed and improved D2, or maybe a hypothetical D3.The less sane ones and the overt Bungie drones are hard at work trying to convince themselves, and whoever they can get to listen, that they enjoy Marathon and that everyone should be invested in its future.
>>734765512>people who play it like itFunny how that isn't actually important for success. What a stupid world we live in.
>>734780173Who gives a shit it’s probably a bunch of gay shit anyway>>734778887That’s not unreal tournament
>>734765512>people who play it like itGood for them. But considering it's an online game, are there enough of those to keep a healthy playerbase?
-dlosing to a 7 year old INDIE GAME
>game is good but not popular>post-/v/ thinks this is an argument that the game is shit and nobody should play itGod I miss 4chan
>>734765512Your 2 hours this week is very admirable.
>>734798361>goodwhat part of neon slop with ugly characters and bad extraction shooter gameplay is "good"?it's worse than tarkov or arc in every possible way.
>>734798590Every part of it. The artstyle is fresh and distinct and the gameplay is extremely good, with some of the most satisfying fights I've played in a while.There's a reason the player reviews are so high, but retards have spent saying most of the time saying that doesn't matter because floooop.
>>734777198ugh stiff ass gunplay
>>734766020I keep seeing this image posted in Marathon threads, but I can't figure out why. I know that it's about survivorship bias, referencing WW1 planes and the damage on the ones that returned. How is survivorship bias relevant to Marathon's reviews? Can the same be applied to other video games?
>>734770219I haven't watched the movie, I know about it. I even have an Andrew Hussie edit of its poster saved, but I'm at work so I can't post it.
>>734765059-sed
>>734765512Then go play it instead of wasting energy on all this culture war stuff all the time
>>734765059>-cked up with cheatersDespite having kernel level anti-cheat and not working on Linux.
>>734798697it's neon vomit, it's like mirrors edge if they did everything wrong.
>>734798697>the gameplay is extremely goodlol
>>734765059>Scavenge the lost colony of Tau Ceti IV as a bio-cybernetic Runner in a PvPvE survival extraction FPS from the creators of Halo and Destiny.I'm too old, white and heterosexual for this.
>>734765431Wow pokemon trading card game, and zombie game #762 from established franchise outsold the hardcore, high skill ceiling shooter, what an incredible accomplishment.Get that ass filtered pussy. Go reload a save to get your ammo back from missing all your shots against zombies of all enemies, who are not allowed to shoot back, you absolute dogshit.
>>734798697>fresh and distinct
>>734780173I actually don't get some things about the setting.1) Marathon 1 happens on UESC Marathon. I thought that the ship was attacked in transit, but there clearly is a well established colony on Tau Ceti IV.2) Earth experienced a 90 year gap between losing contact with Marathon and receiving Leela's warning. This doesn't make sense for several reasons:- Assuming no FTL communication, the gap between losing contact due to the alien attack and sending/receiving the warning should have been the same on Earth as it was on Marathon.- Assuming FTL communication, with the warning being light speed, it should have taken at most 11.9 years to get to Earth, since that's how far away Tau Ceti is.3) Does humanity have FTL travel in the current game?
>>734765165yeah it takes so much energy laughing at your shit game
>>734788460Because it's a single player card game. I played StS and I liked it, but I can't imagine watching it because that would be boring.
even if it stays on course and only loses 2k players a day that means its dead in a month or less
>>734798697nta but I agree with the art and world style, I think it carries the game for most people although they are not aware enough to admit it, however calling the gameplay good is crazy, it's like destiny but the saving grace of destiny was the verticality and freedom of movement like double jumping, hunter dashing, warlock blinking, all that shit. this has the same floaty movement but with no redeeming features
>>734799525
>>734765059if it were good it would have gained 20k players over the past week(from word of mouth sales of people getting their friends to play) instead of losing 20k players.
>>734799735>game has consistently bled players and the devs are spending their time fighting customers on social media instead of trying to improve the game>you are le silly for believing the trend might continueYou have a very bright future on /biz/.
>>734765431>more people buy game = game betterI guess Roblox is the best game ever made
>>734800149yes, actually.
>>734799303>high skill ceiling shooter,>marathonnigga...
>>734800149no, it just means the game is popular. it means you're more likely to randomly run into someone else that plays the game or to already know people that play it. These are important things for a MULTIPLAYER ONLY VIDEO GAME.Who the fuck wants to play a MULTIPLAYER ONLY VIDEO GAME that no one else is playing?
>>734800019But there was a patch yesterday.
And it's all basic bug fixes because the game released in an unfinished state.
>massive nerf to thermal scope >nerf to enemy hp>nerf to the only good map they have>buff to player health and ammoHahahaha what's wrong? Too "hard core" for you? Lmao
>>734765059more like moronthon
>>734800584>Game has some bugs on release = game is unfinishedYou've either never played a game shortly after release or you are debilitatingly retarded.
>>734802312anon bungie specifically requested reviewers to not review the game for the first month until they roll out additional content that they already have, that's completed, that could be played right fucking now but that they are refusing to release in an attempt to drip feed content for player retention reasons.so yes, the game was quite very literally released in an "unfinished state."
>Here’s how Hillary... I mean Bungie can still win
>>734765165our energy keeps getting refilled because we keep winning
>>734802489See, this is a valid argument for explaining why the game is unfinished. If you started with this, I would have agreed and not replied to you. You had a good argument, so why did you use a bad one?
