I just received an e-mail from Bungie themselves, it's a survey. >"Have you recommended MARATHON to your friends? If so, how did they react and why?"So /v/, what would make you buy MARATHON?
>>735051537https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pM76LtznNrc
Make it slower-paced, more oppressive, less gay faggotry and classes and abilities, focus solely on the gun play (which surprisingly is what Arc Raiders does best, those ex-DICE devs know their shit well).I hate that you're stuck with premade characters and classes instead of being able to make your own toon more than anything.
Make PVP optional. Return the focus to PVE like we all know it was originally going to be. Get on with the story, nobody gives a shit about the empty colony colored like a waterpark. We want to fight ayys and know what happened on board the ship, not fight other players who got bored of CoD
>>735051537If they fixed the balance I might consider it.
>>735051537Singleplayer onlyanimeromance
>>735051537>So /v/, what would make you buy MARATHON?already bought it. they shouldn't change anything right now, let the first season play out as planned
>>735051537I might buy it if someone pointed a gun at my head and forced me to do it
>>735052135i think that's right, if they add aggression based matchmaking the game is dead
>>735052320>noo I can't pubstomp newbies anymore, my life is ruined!Its going to happen and nothing can stop it
>>735052383just go play arc if you want a hug
>>735051726I'm seeing this anti-pvp narrative online, is it just confirmation bias? I look at all the top games on steam and most of them are pvp it seems>>735051720In the launch trailer you see the suits that the colonists wore, they look like what player armor could've been
>>735051537>game designed to milk me dry with GAAS shit>make me pay for it upfront
>>735051537>change style to picrel>have a campaign which is basically PvE but with story and cutscenes>make the game atmospheric and creepier
>>735051537I'll play it for free if they remove the tranny elements
>>735052820This kinda looks like what customizable characters would look like
>>735052885MTX is limited to cosmetics per Bungie, though I get it. No one wants gaas unless the game's free to play.
>>735051537>I just received an e-mail from Bungie themselves, it's a survey.This whole thread is a survey, no normal human goes on message boards and asks blatant marketing questions like this.
>he knows
>>735051537Put an attractive girl in it
>>735051537I'm a straight white male, i.e. the game is not for me.
>>735051537It's like asking what could get pudgy out of shape dudes into the gym. If they wanted to do it they would already be there. If we wanted to play extraction shooters skinwalking the old marathon ip we would. It can have all the cool atnosphere and style in the world but it has no fucking story. What is there to fucking care about. It's GaaSlop and no amount of trying to make it cool will do the trick. It's more of a shame that at least some effort went into it really, it's like putting very good fancy aged cheese on a Big Mac. That helps but that ain't gonna fix it.
>>735051537Pay me 50 000$ and bungie CEO personally sucks my dick and performs a rim job then i MIGHT play it for free
>>735051537I would try it if it was free. It seems pretty scummy and desperate to sell the game at full price then include f2p style motization in the form of battle passes and cosmetics. I guess they know the game doesn't have a long shelf life because it sucks and they just want to milk bungie fanboys as much as they can until they inevitably quit and go back to destiny 2. Either way I'm not falling for an obvious exit scam, theyll make it f2p anyway once the fanboys are milked anyway
I don't have time to waste on extractionslop
>>735054297I dont know why I typed anyway twice I huff glue
>>735054297Rare rata
>>735051537I have Concord fatigue.
>>735051537Honestly, memes aside, nothing.I have exactly ZERO interest in any form of live service slop at this time.I’m a single player and occasionally local coop type of guy.Maybe if it was free I would eventually give it a try but I’m not dropping $40 to see if I like it.
>>735051537I dont play extraction shooters. So i am happy they fail!
>>735051537Tell you what, pay me a thousand bucks and I'll buy it. I will refund it right afterward though.
>>735051537Re-buy in my case. And nothing, or more accurately nothing they would ever change, like the nightmare art style or the ass UI.
>>735051537I don't buy mp only games. I'm not paying for psplus. Why bother with this shit when Fortnite is free? Fortnite is also shit, but it's free.Fortnite: "I am cringe, but I am free."
>>735054297prehensile nose
>>735051537>"Have you recommended MARATHON to your friends? If so, how did they react and why?"I have not recommended it to my friends.
>>735051537Character creator, look at the most popular fanart and cosplay, its all asian cybersluts Fix the UICOOP stealth horror tacticool shooter shit none of that pvp extraction No permanent gear loss more enemies and more missions, random events on maps during missionsmake x amount of objectives per map, make the spawns random, make enemy patrols and interesting scenarios that can happen and set players loose with a goal, make it hard but fairgive it some kind of structure and make the story something that is in the game, not in videos, xitter posts etc.
Remove any monetization besides box price and deniggerfy the characters would be enough to make me try it.
Theres like nothing fun about it...
>>735051537they need Linux support in order for me to be able to play itthere's no point in considering anything else about the game if it doesn't have that
I would literally never buy a game like this even if it was good
>>735051537It would take a lot of money for me to buy Marathon. The cost of my time and effort, plus however much that putrid-looking shit is.
>>735055765It'll never have Linux support because it has an anti-cheat.
>>735051908>Singleplayer only>anime>romance
>>735051537>40$ live s|op PVP shooter>also ugly af
I'll be passing all this feedback to the team, thanks my fellow gamer anons.
>>735056026I'm awareI'm just pointing out that it does cut out a potential market, even if that market is small
>>735051537Generally, I don't like FPS games. I like to see the character models I play as.
>>735051537There is nothing you could do for me I don't wanna play an extraction shooter and I don't like the look of the game. I dont wanna spend money on a game just to spend even more money in the in game shop. It everything i don't want in a game.
>>735051537destiny 3
>>735051537i want someone to buy it for me
>>735051537Sell the rights and hand off development to another studio that's not Bunjew.The game looks fun, but fuck you, I've played enough Destiny to know what awaits me when I hand over my 40 dollars.
>>735051537>bigger asses>fatter tits>prettier girls>every outfit has exposed skin>no gay or brown characters whatsoever Do these things and I'd CONSIDER buying that slop
>>735056214Should have had us write an email to bungie one word at a time
>>735051537Single player story mode.The story better be good.REAL good.
It's hard not to pick just anyone thing that my friend group and I love about Marathon. The gameplay loop is a real blast. They knocked the gunplay and weapon handling out of the park. The emergent narrative really brings the world to life dynamically. The visual design is striking yet subtle. Bungie captured lightning in a bottle with this one. Don't miss this hidden gem. It's a real treat.
im trans and i like it
>>735056596>a real blastI'M GOING INSANE
>>735051537F2P for the Extractsloppa.Paid singleplayer campaign that's ACTUALLY well written, with the original writers involved if possible.
>>735056596Based blast haver.
>>735051537I played Hunt and Arc for a while and that was it, I have no desire to play this genre anymore, I'd rather just play either a full on pvp game or a coop game with friends.pvpve sucks.
>>735051537Single player shooter like the og or halo. No extra bullshit or gaas. Just og dead battleroid fighting aliens or incest people called BOBs
>>735056489>no gay or brown characters But that's a staple of Marathon? Even the original had that, the security officer is black...
>>735056928He answered Op's question.Mutt obsession with fags and race doesn't matter to him
>>735057004What do you mean by mutt?
>>735056476They already laid out their monetization plans a while ago
>>735051537change the art stylechange the type of genreno more lgbtq panderingmake the characters actually attractiveno niggers
>>735057413>no more lgbtq pandering>make the characters actually attractive>no niggersNO CAN DO
>>735051537remove the gaas elementchange it to colony sim
>>735056260Uhhhhhhh anon...
My friends are casuals, so the social aspect and potential for silly emergent situations is the only reason in a million years they'd play an extraction shooter. I like Marathon but it's missing that. I am the only person left in my friends group that plays any competitive shooter regularly and Marathon is way too sweaty
>>735056260now this is an extraction shooter I could get into
>>735056260I don't want them to dress like whores.They should be cute.
>>735058394What are you complaining about? Their ankles are covered.
>>735053086I think 343 studios is making another Halo game.
>>735054015They have Thief, Vandal/Glitch and Blackbird/Recon.
>>735059194thanks, I'll make sure not to check it out
Extraction shooters are a fucking boring genre.
>>735056260What the FUCK is Kuro wearing?????
>>735059657a stripper version of a Bolero Jacket
>>735059562Try Dark and Darker.
a friend asking me to queue up together is all it would take, i like playing games with my buddy.
>>735051537add PvE modeactually no I want offline singleplayer, even coop PvE has other players ruining my experience
>>735051537I would buy it if it was a good game.
>>735051537i would only consider buying marathon if the entire dev team came to my house and gave me a blowjob one after the other
>>735051537Not being an extraction shooter, for starters. And if it has to be a multiplayer PvP game, remove crossplay and controller support entirely.
Blast me off
>>735060386gay. ngl
>>7350515371. Change genre2. Change aesthetics 3. Change character appearance
>>735060386Even the HR department?
I'm not looking for a forever gameI'm -especially- not looking for a forever game where progression is based on if you can avoid PVP long enough to complete your missions
>>735051537I bought it today though and it's pretty cool. JP dub reminds me of older anime. Sort of concerned that they won't ever do more story stuff like they'll use the upcoming layoffs to justify running the game only as the extraction mode when it wouldn't take much effort.>>735054015this x1000 too and delete assassin imo

>>735051537If they make it a 12v12 objective base shooter, i would decentlt play it.
>>735051537Big tits.
>>735051720>toonThe fuck? Are you playing toontown? Any faggot who calls their custom characters “toon” deserves to die and have their opinion discarded
>>735051537For them to make a different game in a different genre with a different name.Preferably different devs.

>>735051537nothing, i don't play extraction slop
Fire the enitre dev team and I'll buy itI wont play it but I think thats worth $40
>>735051537I bought Marathon because I saw Rook gameplay and found it interesting. I will buy the deluxe version if this game survives to season 2 without cutting anything out of the roadmap.>>735051720>less gay faggotry and classes and abilities, focus solely on the gun playI get not liking the class aspect of the game (we should have been able to fully customize shells), but removing abilities would make this game into just another FPS. We have enough of those.
>>735054869You don't need a PS account for Marathon.
>>735055317>Character creator, look at the most popular fanart and cosplay, its all asian cybersluts >Fix the UI>more enemies and more missions, random events on maps during missionsAgreed.>COOP stealth horror tacticool shooter shit none of that pvp extraction >No permanent gear loss Play a different game.
>>735055317You can't have character creator in this age, it would mean players could make characters they want to play as which would be cool white guys and cute girls.
>>735058080It's technically possible, but Marathon is very much PvP oriented. There is a whole faction based around it. I only had only one friendly interaction in my 30 hours, and even then I accidentally stabbed that poor rook to death in the middle of combat.
>>735065059>Play a different game.everyone is lmaothat's why Bungie is panicking
Offline singleplayer.
>>735051537A single player campaign, 8 hours or longer, with good story and writing.
>>735051537I would buy it if it had a good single player campaign with splitscreen/online co-op
>>735051537Fire all the trannies, women and other DEI hires, for a start
>>735065879Unironically, if they did that their balance sheet would look a lot better, because these people are for sure being paid big figures just to be sanctimonious, which they would gladly do for free anyway.
>>735056596this really spiked my cortisol
>>735060386they're all gay so they would definitely be down for this, you can't work for one of these companies and not suck dick for a living
>>735051537Not be made by bungie. Remove all content or find another way to punish destiny players for playing bugie slop. If they do thst then I will know patriots are in control
>>735051537>live service slop>a dev known for being liars, thieves and plagarists>smoothmind genre for eastern european trash>JUST FUCKING BUY IT OKAY?!?No.
>>735051537>So /v/, what would make you buy MARATHON?Nothing. I played Destiny 1 from its launch until Destiny 2 came out, then I played Destiny 2 for too long. Bungie is trash and only ever makes games worse.
>>735051537it they did a nortubel crossover
>>735051537Well I'd not play an extraction shooter even if it was free-to-play... so I guess, pay me to play?
>>735051537turn it into an immersive single player gamethe cinematic was kino and obviously made years before they decided to turn it into a suit-pushed AAA GAAS extraction slopper

>>735051537>What would it take for you to buy it?Hell freezing over.
>>735051720i honestly think homosexuals and furries were the ones to start calling mmorpg characters toons in WoW which was the start of it being adopted. Before then no asian, indian, mexican, south american, fucking anyone used that terminology.

>>735051537Single player campaign like halo. I dont buy multiplayer games for meme gaas genres but I'll try it if it's attached to something I actually want.
>>735051537>So /v/, what would make you buy MARATHON?First of all it can't be live service, secondly it must not have marathon coin that cost real money.And lastly it shouldn't waste my time by resetting my progress.
If they changed the genre and completely changed the art style, I might think about it.
>>735071848Funnily enough it does have a story, but you have to play multiplayer matches to see it
Fix the character designs. The environments and drones are fine, but the characters models have CLEARLY been through the "it can't be prettier than the trannies on the devteam" uglifier.
Why would I waste my money on an extraction shooter when the Game of the Year comes out Tuesday?
>>735051537Remove the punk girl. Marathon shouldn't try to be a westoid cyberpunk neon fashion statement.It should have large oppressive structures to explore set to the distans humm of vast machinery and circulating air pressure.
>>735056928>the security officer is black...Theres nothing in the original series which hints at the race of the security officer
>>735051537>game anticheat requires kernel level accessI'd rather watch paint dry, thanks
I would’ve bought it if it had Single player. Now? Nothing will get me to buy it, even if they do add a single player component or make it F2P. Should’ve been done initially. Now they all must be laid off and the company must be killed.
blastbrosassembleticktock
>>735063683how new?
>>735051537Just give me Destiny 3, I'm not playing a fucking extraction shooter slop fest made exclusively for streamers in mind.Fucking faggots.
>>735059194its halo studios now, also pass
>>735051537Nothing. They cannot make me buy extraction slop PvPvE shit. They could've made me buy it if they made a SP campaign with good gameplay, aesthetics, atmosphere and a cool sci-fi setting, hell the SP FPS game no longer really exists beyond whatever id is doing with their Fisher Price Doom Marvelverse venture so I would've been excited for such a game to come out. They could've added some MP modes and I might have even played those too. It's just impossible to get me to buy ugly PvPvE resource grinder & inventory management tedium.
>>735051537A campaign. More than one game mode. More than four maps. Custom/player-run servers

>>735074204I'm curious, when was the last good fps campaign. I mainly just play Doom.wads and Thief fan maps because modern fps campaigns are a fucking snooze or just so unlike the norm like cruelty squad or ultrakill I can't say it's really genre friendly
Nothing. I already played Tarkov with a few friends for a while, and came to the realization that I just don't like extraction shooters. I think those friends now play another extraction shooter with an odd name (Delta something?), and when I asked one of them if they were going to try Marathon, he just said, and I quote, "ew". I think the reason they don't like it is that they are all tacticool larpers and like the "realistic" guns and settings
>>735051537Nothing, really. It's just not my type of game.
>>735051537
Are steam charts banned now?
>>735075171I hate tacticool and slavshit so I'm sad that dark and darker died so I'm only really left with Marathon
Of things they can do that don't involve gutting the entire game >Aggression based matchmaking ala Arc Raiders so the story players can enjoy said story>Practice range because it's baffling that it doesn't have one>Duo matchmakingOf things they won't do because it involves gutting the chunks of the game>Switch to a PvE focus with PvP being Souls style invasions (it can still be an extraction shooter)
>>735051537If it cost a negative amount of money. I still won't play it but I'll take it if they pay me to.
>>735076703Apparently you can be paid to play it according to /v/ if you ask Bungie
>>735051537a game forcefully resetting my progress is an insult, if the game itself doesn't value the time I spend playing it, why should I even bother?
>>735077636Don’t bother then. No ones sticking a gun to your head. That said it’s only $40 which is less than my typical Uber eats order.
>>735063291Glitch/Vandal is blonde, Thief is Asian, and the Blackbird/Recon woman is... Well there is fanart of her.
>>735051537>So /v/, what would make you buy MARATHON?I just don't care about the game anon. It's not something I'm interested in.
>>735051537It would have to be a fundamentally different game, one focused on a singleplayer and/or cooperative experience rather than versuslop
It needs to be heavily detached from being a live service game, and that's just not possible with the game they've designed and for the genre its in.The biggest issue is that they designed a game in a niche genre, its punishing as fuck on top of being from a punishing genre. Playing something like DayZ is more enjoyable in my opinion and is more rewarding. Needed more shit in it at launch. Needed more maps honestly to spread out the progression, literally another map or 2 at launch would've stopped some people from reaching level 100 already while some people who've been playing since launch are barely 20.Solo play is miserable but they'd have to legitimately change core design pillars of the game to accomidate for that.It's made for the audience that's there really. There's not much else I think they could do at this point without a serious commitment to something like PvE modes, but I think that's a terrible idea and comes with its own problems.>>735051692lmao
>>735073597>asian is the bug characterfucking kek maybe I should watch these
>>735051537Make it free to play
>>735079608>Opening any game to the unwashed massesThis is never a good decision

>>735078225i am going to be polite but it will be a struggle, please bear with me.Thief is flat as a board there is no ass there is negative ass especially with that weird getup.Blackbird is... well i don't even know its just some blue lips.Vandal. looks like she'd give me a std which is a feat as it's a robot. also flat.
>>735074347I enjoyed Boltgun's campaign for about 90% of it. There's some bullshit teleporter door maze trash at the end because you're going after a Tzneetchan scorcerer, but it was a solid boomer shooter otherwise.
make it free to play like it should have been
>>735082349>Boltgun>Half the guns feel like trash and relies on a glory kill system I wish that it was more like Space Hulk desu
>>735082628I played one of the Space Hulk games (Deathwing, I think) and it was more jank than fun. Reminded me of a robust student project some college kids would make in Unreal for a senior class or something.
>>735082752The old Space Hulks, anon
>>735075278>Look mom, I posted it again!>Can you change my diaper now!?
>>735051537>So /v/, what would make you buy MARATHON?a 100% discount maybe
>>735082628There is no glory kill system>butHitting things in melee is not a glory kill system, and I guarantee the guns felt like trash to you because you weren't paying attention to weapon strength versus armor rating. The only real criticism you could make against the weapons is that upgrading the plasma is in all levels and conceivable circumstances the objectively correct thing to do.
It's an extraction shooter, and It would need to not be an extraction shooter. So probably nothing they can do. But Imagine they remade Marathon 1&2 and the third one for mac I forget the name of. Very faithful to the originals, but with fancy updated graphics with raytracing and dolby dickrider spacial audio sort of deal. And then they made a sequel to those hypothetical remakes that still had a fleshed out single player campaign.I would buy that game during a steam sale in 2029 because I really don't care that much about the Marathon IP.
>>735051537Rework the artstyle. Its cool concept art but not something I want to look at for 4-5 hours straight which is what I do when gaming.Change the game mode. I don't like extraction shooters. If you want pvp make it TDM, or CTF or some other generic shit. Anything but the cancer that is extraction shooters. Also, I hate ADS so remove that but I know you won't.Make the characters appealing. Best case is to make them much more human and avoid all the overdone tattoos and coloring they have. If you don't want to do this then at least make them all cool robots with zero human features. Don't do this half assed inbetween design you currently have.Lower the price. I can play similar games don't give me eye strain for free. Why should I pay for this game when its a inferior (to my tastes) product?And this is just for a start. I'm not the target audience for this shitheap so if you want me to play you better revamp the entire game to my liking.
>>735051537>replace gay heroes entirely with customizable player characters like in the concept art/early trailers>remove greedy mtx (lol)>add some sex appeal. not kidding why is everybody flat and broad shouldered >commit to being either a focused competitive multiplayer game like Hunt Showdown with universal objectives and a tight gameplay loop with minimal looting or an immersive and hardcore milsim experience like Tarkov. This retarded Apex Legends But With An Inventory shit is so stupid >sacrifice all bungie writers to moloch. i saw some “““lore””” and it literally reads like theyre just trying to pull people who watched that one mandalore gaming review of marathon with keywords. seriously badi’ve been pretty disinterested since the first playtests. i think this game is only really appealing to ape sex legends pvp fags who like destiny combat.
>PvP should be optional but gives you the highest chance at rare loot and is the endgame activity>Losing all your shit in PvP basically sends you back to the PvE gameloop to get your resources back up to enter back into PvPthis doesn't appear that difficult but it's bungie, their head is firmly in their ass
>>735085239>Sex appeal in a competitive fpsYou sound like an ffxiv queer
>>735086103Don’t be gay
>>735079536>asianlmao, what a retard
>>735086341The only time you'll see your toon is in the startup screen or getting throat fucked with a knife, so yeah sex appeal is kinda pointless imho compared to distinct silhouettes
>>735074327I imagine this but as that guy blocking the tranny from the bathroom but it's sony blocking bungie from continuing to be a game developer
>>735085239I'm all for sex appeal but its a dark, esoterically creep sci fi fps, with fast gameplay where you rarely have another player character on your screen longer than a few seconds. What would be the point of sex appeal other than jerking off at the main menu?Besides all three girl shells (thief, vandal and recon) are already cute in their own robot ways
>>735051537I shat on it all through development, but the crazy difficulty curve of all things was strangely compelling to me. Bought it and have been enjoying it thoroughly, having a blast etc. Thought it was gonna be insufferably woke but beyond the hideous trooncoded characters there’s really nothing political beyond the usual cyberpunk corporate dystopian stuff.Kinda sad that the game is probably gonna die very soon because it’s so inaccessibly difficult and brutal.
>>735086620If the game isn’t going to commit at all to the dark esoterically creepy sci-fi aesthetic and add wacky looking female soldier characters they might as well make them sexy so I can jerk off in the main menuBesides sex appeal makes everything better
>>735087237Just play beyond citadel
>>735087617I tried, but it kept crashing every 10 feet in the first level.
>>735077893I understand why this game is popular only in NA, you fat fuckers pay so fucking much just for food the moment a game costs 40$ you think it's cheap
>>73508824940 bux is literally nothing though, I pay that much in gas a week
>>735051537add an arena mode
>>735088249>why is this game only popular in NAMostly because Americans are 'ball and gun' gamers and Halo/Bungie recognition is its strongest here. And Sony probably focused most of the marketing for North America.
>>735088472They're also idiots on average which explains why a game where you have to read stuff and be at least a bit tactical bounced so much, should have pushed it more in europe and asia if they wanted more success, but then again I don't think a blocky game with such vibrant colors and they/them characters would have sold well outside of the US anyway.
for me i bought it because it was genuinely fun and the art is peak and you know whats the cherry on top? cryo archives comes out for free soon tap in runners and ill see you online
>>735088725The 'not wanting to read' is some kind of zoomer disease too, with how back academic stats are. That generation is completely doomed. Maybe the Alphas are better, idk
>>735051537I will never buy a game that demands access to my kernel
>>735051537>what would make you buy MARATHON?bungie reinstating all the content I paid for in D1&2 that they removed with the promise they would cycle it back in.
>>73505153760 hour campaign with co-op.
>>735053086You faggots are still pretending like there aren’t 5 thousand games that already look like (better) versions of this pic. Swat gear sheet metal and gore is a three word shorthand for the entire 6th gen library.The ultimate contrarian horseshoe where you’re now pining for the most common aesthetic of all fucking time.
>>735051537going f2p, might be worth it then
>>735089657marathon being different doesn't mean it's good
You'd have to wipe my memory before I played another bungie game. Sell the IP to someone else.
>>735089749It is infinitely better than ue5 slavshit or brown and bloom milsim garbage
>>735089749Even if I thought it was ugly id appreciate that’s it’s unique and cohesive. I’d rather have that than it be indistinguishably generic, which is what anon is asking for.
>>735051537What would it take for you to buy it?>Bungie to not try and sell 50 different versions of Destiny 2 during its whole life cycle>Bungie to not remove content players paid for>Bungie to not completely abandon its fanbase that made them (abandoning Destiny 2 for this flavor of the month slop)Out of the game studios still alive Bungie is the most scummy (yes worse then Blizzard) I will be glad once Crimson Desert comes out in three days and completely kills this game what remains of the studio.
>>735090178>Play an unholy Korean MMO ubislop skinnner boxNothanks
>>735051537After the beta playtest I wouldn't even play it if it was F2P.
>>735051537remove pvp
>>735051537Paypal me $10k and I play it for 3 days 2 hours each day.
>>735090236Thats fine but IF its as good as people hope it is, between how fast Marathons playerbase is dropping, the remaining flavor of the month players quitting, the remaining players who enjoy both genres quitting, and the players interested in trying quitting. Marathon is cooked.
I'm just kinda waiting it out, I liked the server slam well enough. I think I'm in the minority of people that like the presentation and art style, and you can definitely feel the Bungie roots in the gunplay and movement, I'm just worried about longevity. I'm also still playing Arc Raiders and dealing with two different extraction games/systems seems like a pain in the dick.If Marathon ends up having some legs and isn't shut the fuck down in a month or two I'll probably pick it up over the summer lull
>>735051537>So /v/, what would make you buy MARATHON?Nothing. Even if it was a good game that didn't look like neon vomit, I have zero interest in Marathon
"ytboi obese ahh talkumbow marathons :skull:"
>>735089657Yeah, a lot of those games from that generation sucked ass because they just copied what other successful games did. Notice how games are getting less gory, less sexual, and introducing more reddit-like writing? The old marathon concept art is unique in today's gaming industry.
>>735051537nothing, it has to be f2p for me to even think about trying it
>>735090442>People are going to trade the shooting retards for 10 minutes at a time for doing 100 hours of meaningless sidequest tutorials I don't think you understand how niche crimson desert is as well
>>735090178I dont see much crossover appeal in extraction shooter and Korean MMO honestly.
>>735090584Holy shit retard, the new Dooms and Elden Ring and Diablo and Baldurs Gate and a whole other fuck load of modern games have a ton of gore
>>735090681It takes 10 minutes to fill up my bag to become a pinniata for big streamer nigga and get smoked in 0.4 seconds on exfill by said streamer nigga.I only hope we get the concord treatment and sony refunds the game.Gonna use that Money to buy Tainted Grail or Crimson Dessert, depending on how good it will be.
>>735091561Lmao git gud retard
>>735051537>extractionslopFor the biggest titcow in the Bungie office to personally fly down and give me paizuri.
I'll level with you, the game looks neat, but to buy it on the Playstation I have to buy the game, and I have to buy an online sub, and then I have to trust that other players will stick around to make my experience worthwhile, and I don't really feel like it.
Just exfilled with a blue shield. I'm thinking based.
>>735091615No, ill just drop your game and hope for refund when you take +5 minutes to find matches.
>>735051537Sorry but I don't buy Bungie games anymore.
>>735051537Not making it like they did it
>>735092001What has Bungie done to curb transphobic abuse on its' platforms? Fancy initiatives do not solve the problem of transphobes polluting chats in their games.
>>735090780Those are franchises that already had established gore in previous entries. New IPs being made today will rarely feature any gore or even blood when the game revolves around shit like guns.
>>735091938Lmao getting mad at being bad at vidya
>>735092174There's plenty of new horror ips that feature blood and horror games always tend to do well idiot
>>735092375of course horror games would have gore, dumbass. it's almost a fundamental>new horror game ipsI've never seen one in many years. Only one that comes to mind is deadspace
>>735090448Thats kinda why I was apprehensive about getting it, but it hovers between 50-60k daily peak on steam so I bit the bullet. Dunno how many consoletards are playing though. I'm holding out hope for a slow climb like NMS but who knows
>>735092683All the fuckton of mascot horror, Death Stranding (arguably), Dead by Daylight, Outlast, Dying Light, Amnesia, etc
>>735092324I wont even deny that i am bad at FPS, the last one i played was BF Hardline about a decade ago, and before that Titanfall 1.Even then, when i fucked up and died in match, i just loaded back in with the shit want to use, no strings attached, and pwnd these fuckers back.Now i dont even know how i fucking died half the time.Youre game is shit because it caters to you instead of me, good for you being a progamer, but most people are casuals.I have more fun lurking in the threads about marathon than playing marathon.
>>735092995Lmao have some situational awareness retard
>>735051537a different game mode than the utter faggot-tier extraction shooter. Preferably a campaign which is what I thought it was going to have. Reall disappointment.
>>735051537uuuuhfriendly NPC's - actually interesting onesand an increased esrb rating.I am one of the few halo fans that was lost at destiny. There's that too. basically, I loved halo for the flood and bungie betrayed me in halo3. Destiny was way too live service. I cannot do ham-fisted fortnite style event systems. But! I am a good customer because I will buy skins
>>735095546>But! I am a good customer because I will buy skinshow many csgo skins have you bought recently
>>735051537>So /v/, what would make you buy MARATHON?A robust single-player campaign.
>>735095992None, I stopped it as a habit. As I know you're attempt at shaming me. I learned my lesson after valorant beta launch. I took some brunt after skin shaming became a thing. I had money, I liked the game, a bunch of kids were jealous I helped pay for the launch.
>>735096176This, unironically. I was so let down when I saw it was extraction slop.
>>735096590>valorantomega
>>735096735Do you even own a PC?
>>735052820That would be the csgo, fortnite and cod addicted normies with stockholm syndrome. They wouldn't play anything else even if their lives depended on it.
>>735051537Single player and co-op campaign.
>>735096849yes and this being pertinent to your claims how? >you made me so mad i forgot to append jpeg to my OP
>>735051537Single player and remove all the robots that are women who aren't there for the white male gaze, and all the nigger faced robots. Bungie should also disavow their gay shit and fire their faggot employees.Listen to me Bungie, the fags you bet the farm on don't pay you, you pay them, your customers pay you and you've forsaken them.
>>735051537I just dont want to play an extraction shooter
i already own it, been blasting unironically
when some of you are asking for this to be singleplayer, why? do you just want more linear level design and cutscenes/set pieces? so you can play this thing twice and never again? what would you want it to be like? a halo campaign? i just dont think people really want to make/play single player fps narrative driven corridor/cover shooters anymore. How often are you going back and playing killzone 2 and singularity or something? Most people didnt get much replay value out of thosein the end i kind of just interpret the desire for this to be singleplayer some sort of anxiety around having to play with other people. not even saying "git gud" its just like, dont be so afraid of dying and competing a little. its fun, gets your heart racin especially when your stuff is on the line
>>735100209i'm not paying $39.99 + tax for destiny 2 crucible reskinned to look like the tranny version of block fort from mario kart. it's not happening fag.
You guys remember how no one bought Daimon Blades?Actually, scratch that - what's "Daimon Blades"?
>>735100523le nerf lego fortnite XDsounds like you'd rather pay 70 dollars for some incredibly gay old-doom-reskin nostalgia pandering garbage where you walk from corridor to corridor, linearly, fighting nothing but npcs. you've 100% either never played an extraction shooter or you are caca at them
>>735100586>Daimon Bladeslooks like the exact kind of linear nu-doom-ripoff slop the 3 people in this thread wished marathon was lol
>>735051537>NO FAGGOTRY, NO TROONCORE BULLSHIT number one thing here>Females designed to please my male gaze>Badass male designs>I'm all for whatever kind of gameplay as long as it is fun, extraction slop is not fun
>>735100839have you given extraction a chance, its tense. its basically elimination style deathmatch but your loot carries over/can get lost
>>735100708i'd rather pay for a video game and not this fake skinner box simulator that is only sparsely attended by troons, destiny dads and literally no one else
>>735051537Nothing, I'm not interested in the genre. Make a different game
it's a piece of shit for pve or pvp.
>>735098303Marathon never looked like that
>>735100982its not a skinner box. the way you are earning things and interacting with the game are challenging and revolve around interesting and tense decisions, not simply engagement and for the sake of engagement. its extremely difficult lol
>>735102883>arc raidersWHY HELLO THERE GOOD SIR CARE TO JOIN ME IN SOME JOLLY COOPERATION IN WHICH WE DISPATCH SOME RAVENOUS AUTOMOTONS??? IM LOOKING FOR A WHIRLYGIG FOR MY CASSETTE WALKMAN!!! DONT SHOOT, FRIENDLY, FRIENDLY, IM GAY!!!!
>>735102883>arcbro, marathon is just hunt showdown for deranged troons
>>735103490Nigga its the self rejuvenating skinner box.>3 month wipesThis game is le kill upon this seasons sunset
>>735065020Why wouldn’t you? It’s not a free game.
>>735103659>marathon is just hunt showdown I kinda wish I could argue this point but Bungie has upped player count per map and gun audio so it seems like this is the direction they want to take it. This first season is starting to just seem to be pure misery.
>>735103763progress is so fast that those wipes are a good thing, keeps the upper crust of players from feeling like they are out of reach forever, gives everyone a fair chance to start over and with new content each time. i think people are too used to tarkov's approach to scarcity and how fucking confounding ammo types are and a flea market you only get 200 hours into each season. marathon is more accessible than that and progress is faster so the frequent wipes arent a big deal. lastly im sure some select things will carry over, titles, embles, skins, etc.
>>735103949Ill bet you on a pic of my crooked dick that there wont be a second wipe or a third season.And no, the faction farming is slow as fuck if youre a pinata.
>>735104161Ew, no why the fuck would I want thatAnd I've never heard of a major corporate game with these kind of numbers shut down in 6 months. Even fucking Anthem lasted 7 years
>>735102930Literally a loading screen from Infinity.
>>735105953>Loading screen Lol
>>735051537remove this
>>735106454I Can't Extract
>>735051537give the female characters at least bigger asses if you don't have the balls to give them tits
dlss5 will make us god
I don't want to play a fps featuring some techno colored bitch in clown shoes.
>>735106454>Niggerbot 3000As long as they insist on doing shit like this, even diversity slopping non-humans, they will continue to fail. No one wants to play this, this will be no ones favorite character ever. It's like going>yeah, I think we can all agree the game will swim well enough that it can offset if we spent some of the dev work on attaching deadweight to itwhen neither the game is good enough, nor is there any reason to waste time and resources on this pointless shit if you can improve or add anything else. If they at least would go the safe route on developing the coolest most appealing game they can and then when they have 200k consistent players they can still add the nigger- and trannybots in an ignored update later, but nope, gotta be a major part of the core content at release, so the 5 "people" it was for and by can jerk each other off about it on social media before they continue on never supporting anything in any way that actually matters.
>>735051537>sci-fi clowncore extraction shooterGotta respect spending so much time, work, resources and especially money on trying to create a new sub-sub niche to pander to the small but vocal audience of tarkov players craving the answer to the question>what if it was in the future... and with squeaky shoes?now they at least know that the audience has high standards, but I'm sure they can fix all the issues for Marathon 2. Personally I think it was just bad timing, if they only waited a bit they could've just released the game via roblox with the nvidia dlss 5 for the same result.
>>735100914>1 life then 20 minutes of loading screens, playing with your inventory and walking back to another fight>hackers/sweats/people not paired with retards can permanently remove your items/abilities/gear you earned>console level movement tech (tall jump, dash in direction)vs classic quake deathmatch>20 minutes of combat and action with 1 minute of loading screens>every fight is a challenge to work on your skills and learn from enemies>broad learning curve with mechanics and movement tech you learn and get better atat least Tarkov has insane depth with medical tech, ammo loading, and weapon modifications (in 2016, 10 years ago). Hell, The Division did everything Marathon does a decade ago and it was an optional mode to earn extra gear for the main game.Why can't AAA make new games instead of re-hashing what already worked years prior? Did fortnite ruin these executive's brains permanently?
>>735051537I would never buy this game. I want to see Bungie shut down and the Destiny IP given to another studio, everything after Forsaken is retconned out of existence, everyone from Bungie blacklisted from the industry. Nothing less.
>>735110275It is extremely bizarre that companies with AAA resources are copying the early access release of Tarkov for full gold status games. I wonder if even a single person at Bungie is aware of how many milestones were originally intended for Tarkov / what the game was supposed to be. If you want to fix Marathon, make it the rogue-lite campaign shooter that Tarkov promised with successive levels, a modular self-told story through faction alliances and level selection events, and a living economy.Instead they proved what I've long since known which is that AAA are a lot better than they could be simply because they're so unbelievably unimaginative and lazy. Any number of devs could pull a Marathon/Nightreign and quickly double their revenue, just apply a rough translation of popular genre mechanics to your engine and throw together some marketing materials, and boom you have a glorified mod you can sell for $40. This shit doesn't even have half the mechanics Tarkov does, and is no better for it.
>>735110275Minimum viable product. Game devs realized they can actually get away with selling what is essentially a minigame mode in a real game, as the game itself, and that normalfags will buy it.
>>735110841>>735110843Lol, glad I'm not the only one who sees it. We're probably going to get a whole lot more of the $40 Warzone type shit from the devs without the data capture / sales apparatus to benefit from F2P.
>>735051537Support Linux.NO TUX; NO BUX.
>>735110841All of that sounds like a lot of work, anon.Why don't we just copy Destiny 2's PVP mode, add an extraction element at the end, lower the TTK, and call it a day?
>>735110841>It is extremely bizarre that companies with AAA resources are copying the early access release of Tarkov for full gold status gamesas always, it probably comes down to money >>735110843What I wouldn't give to be a fly on the wall between the creatives and suits. Are the suits bringing these ideas as a result of "market research"? Are the creatives only able to sell ideas that already have a market? Is Sony at fault here? Are they just bouncing terrible ideas off each other until they hit supercriticality or does a single person there have any foresight into how people are going to react?
>>735051537the universe and artstyle seems creative and new, but... OF ALL GAMES YOU MAKE IN A BRAND NEW INTERASTING UNIVERSE; YOU MAKE A LIVE SERVICE EXTRACTION SHOOTER??? would have been so much better as a story about the dangers of space colonies on unknown plannets
>>735051537Bungie should have hired me when they had the chance. I would have used money from my salary to buy a PS5 and the gaymes they made
this genre sucks because carebears can just play any of the singleplayer rpgs out there and have a better time and PVPfags have an embarrassing amount of slop ass fucking shooters where they can sweat their balls off against equally retarded people who also play shooters.It's like trying to get a chud and a games journalist in the same room to get them to talk tp eachother, neither is really interested in the other and no amount of free food would make it more appealing.
>>735115274Extraction shooters are just "what if we took every bad idea from the PVP genre and made it into a game"
>>735051537If Crimson Desert ends up being garbage (which is looking likely now), I might buy this instead on Friday. I think it should have had a proper single player campaign and more going for it than just the Tarkov-lite mode though.
>>735115689I don't understand how someone can be excited for a MMO repurposed into a single player game. It will have all the bullshit of a MMO but none of the good points
>>735115759That's the thing, I was interested in it before it became obvious that it was going to be that. It had potential to be something cool. Should have known better from Korean devs though.
>>735051537Custom server hosting and mod support, neither of which will ever happen in a million years
>>735111520if only you knew just how retarded publishers are
>>735073597Fuck. I thought this was AI. Most generic editing in the world. Man that movie sucks.
>>735051537bring back aim assist to mouse and I'll consider itits not fair playing against controller tards with aimbot
>>735054297>It seems pretty scummy and desperate to sell the game at full price then include f2p style motization in the form of battle passes and cosmeticslol this nigga lives in 2007
>>735051726This, I've been playing singleplayer/coop extractions shooters like The Forever Winter and Sulfur. I like Marathon's aesthetic, I'd be willing to try it if it wasn't aimed at PvP tryhards.>>735052820I think it's because specifically, every previous Marathon game had a story campaign and was singleplayer first. The Bungie Halo games were also all like that. I haven't played Destiny but I imagine most of the content is PvE/coop like Raids & stuff? So people that care about Marathon the franchise and Bungie's previous games were probably expecting something with less of a heavy focus on PvP.
>>735106585Whats the sauce?
>>735103659hunt isn't lootslop thougheverbeit
>>735051537Make it singleplayer
