The game is fun, but it's got nowhere NEAR enough content as an extraction shooter for $40.
Not a glazing post? uh oh janny doesn't like this one bit!
They're not adding faggy PvE mode
>>735968790>The game is funOkayI'm still not going to play it
>>735969139Chop chop. There's a hundred other threads to whom you must dutifully inform you will not be playing.
>>735969045>PvENah it doesn't need that, it just needs more gen-pop maps and another end-game map and remove the timegate on cryo (because it's probably the dumbest thing I can think of for an extraction shooter)Imagine if they time-gated labs on Tarkov to only be playable on the weekend, do you know how upset that community would be? They'd probably find a way to blow up BSG's HQ.
>>735968790It's very obviously in beta and got it's game design gutted and rearranged by Ziegler just a few months ago. Sony forced it to release this year and not 2027.They better be ironing out mechanics that were meant to be at launch for season 2, then do some free weekends and a discount with GOOD marketing.
>>735969275shalom, rabbi
>>735969369>Nah it doesn't need that, it just needs more gen-pop maps and another end-game map and remove the timegate on cryoThese are true but the game does need more enemy variety.UESC are diverse and challenging enough for tight corridors and maze maps like Cryo and Outpost, but for more open maps like Perimeter and Dire Marsh, they feel luckluster. You just get ticks, which were in the original games as well, but are nothing here. It needs more native fauna mutated by the chungus fungus, bigger UESC units that can only fit in outdoor spaces, and more map events like the Lockdown.
>>735969930Yeah like for the amount of content in the game for $40 dollars you would think this is in early access and not a full release by AAA devs.
>>735970290Wrong thread bwo
>>735970228Yeah it definitely needs more alien type enemies. Really out of this whole entire game there's only 1 "alien" type enemy you encounter (besides compiler of course) but still. Perimeter is such a dogshit map I think like a whole natural cave system maze that spanned across the whole map underground infested with ticks and other alien enemies would really do a lot to liven the map up.
>>735969934you know by bumping marathon threads, even to ironically post "having a blast", you're advertising this game, right? if you hate this game you would ignore it and make a thread about any other game, you idiot!
>>735969275>wall of textthe left can't meme
>>735968790It's completely fine for $40. Games just seem like ripoffs when they cause too much frustration
$40?It cost $200m+ to make.
>>735970516You have homework for tomorrow Monday, chop chop.
>>735970509tldr
Isn't it kinda like fomo to have a game you need to buy right now because it's going to shut down in less than a year? If SKG succeeds this would no longer be a thing
>>735970680>visual spam>tiny textthe left can't meme
>>735970516>>735970703marathon is shit but you people can't even read twitter-length posts?
>>735970969not reading your blog bro, brevity is the soul of wit or something
Horrible optimization.I cant even get 60fps on outpost.
>>735971143>Horrible optimization. Have you tried not having a PC from the last decade?
>>735970509Are you having a blast son?
>>735968790No, it has enough content, and anyway the whole year of updates is COMPLETELY free
>>735969369>Imagine if they time-gated labs on Tarkov to only be playable on the weekend, You mean Tarkov but other maps except labs stay relevant?
>>735968790Arc Raiders is so much better, I have 120 hours on Marathon and I'm ready to quit.
>>735968790Whoa hey bro dont review it bad, wait for them to add more content before you review it bro haha thats not fair bro stop think of the devs haha
>>735971815Filtered
>>735968790can you please wait until the June content drop before posting a review? thanks
Sooo does marathon have any gooner skins? Wouldn't mind seeing that white chick in a bikini or something
>>735971815weird times we live in where spending 120 hours on a game makes a bad game
>>735971724All updates are free nigga, it's a competitive multiplayer game, you need to maintain parity in balance changes.Imagine if you're playing Dota and Valve said the new patch won't apply to you unless you pay. Or they add a new hero that's meta defining, but you can't pick them (or their counter) unless you pay.
>>735973758when is this site going to be like twitter and let us filter out indians?
>>735973915>All updates are free niggaNo, Destiny had paid expansions4 season of Marathon are included in the game
>>735973883For an online game with so much grinding, yeah it isn't much.
>>735974073That's 5 literal days of your life you gave to this game. That's a lot
Reminder that if you subtract the Destiny 2 players that migrated over on steam the game actually has an almost non-existant playerbase.Literally a bigger flop than concord.
>>735973758No, those are mass 3D printed homonculi for astral projection, she probably doesn't have genitals. The fuckable clones are more expensive.
>>735974297That's 0.0002% of the average person's life.
>>735974597Yea dedicated to a video game
>>735969275Hilarious how shills melt down by the simple suggest that you shan't be playing their astroturfed corposlopflop.
>>735974692Thinking 120hrs is a lot is wild. I have over 3500hrs in Tarkov, 7500 in Dota2, 1500 in RL, and 1000 in Monster Hunter: World.and for a Multiplayer extraction shooter ~80hrs to do all of the content is piss poor.
>>735975186No 5 days of your life dedicated to a game is not wild when you are calling it a bad game
>>735975186>and for a Multiplayer extraction shooter ~80hrs to do all of the content is piss poor.So you entered all vaults, killed the Compiler, reached VIP with all factions, completed all upgrade trees?
>>735969139Thats fine
>>735975446upgrade trees and faction rep aren't content
Lmao
>>735975552Yes they are, the upgraded runners are far more powerful, faster and agileAlso did you enter all vaults and kill the compiler?
>>735975446>entered all vaultsWhat makes looting in one map unique from looting in any other map aside from rarity?>killed the CompilerBesides the absolute grindfest it is to even get to this point, it is the one truly new thing they've added to the game aside from the Cryo map itself>reached VIP with all factionsOh you mean do the same 3 or 4 rotating quests with each faction for hours on end? Even the priority contracts are repetitive. Just look at the Sekgen lineup, bitch has you doing meth head laps around Dire Marsh for 9 contracts.>completed all upgrade treesYou mean loot the same handful of lockrooms and POIs that everyone else swarms right away like Pinwheel so you can save up 15 purples for a whopping +10 to a baseline stat so your shell doesn't suck? No thanksThe issue with the content is variety not quantity. It's all just the same repetitive, bloated gameplay loop
>>735975994>What makes looting in one map unique from looting in any other map aside from rarity? Each vault has its lore collectibles and puzzles to access>Besides the absolute grindfest it is to even get to this pointNothing grindy about it besides getting the keys>Even the priority contracts are repetitive. Just look at the Sekgen lineup, bitch has you doing meth head laps around Dire Marsh for 9 contracts. So you didn't do priority contracts>No thanks Sounds like you don't want content>The issue with the content is variety Multiplayer games by nature offer endless variety. The idea of progression tied to it is tangential at best to the replay value multiplayer matches can offer.It's hard to think of any kind of better "variety"
>>735969930>a discount with GOOD marketing.they had the best marketing they could possibly have by buying out every single popular streamerthey still couldnt reach the masses
>>735975847>if you didn't get 100% of the achievements you didn't play the gamelol
>>735970290>Paul TrannyM I X E DIXED
>Monetization methods after initial purchase are for skins of the ugliest characters and guns imaginableI don't think they thought this through.
>>735976280>Each vault has its lore collectibles and puzzles to accesslore isn't gameplay>Nothing grindy about it besides getting the keysnothing grindy except for the grind, makes sense
>there's no content>wait no I didn't mean that content>also no I didn't do contracts>also no I didn't upgrade my guyLOL
This game somehow has less content than Arc Raiders>4 maps>2 are some of the worst maps in extraction shooter history>1 map is locked away half the week for forced scarcity >every map plays out the same>few enemy types>limited gun selection
>>735976867>This game somehow has less content than Arc RaidersWrongArc Raiders has no endgame still
>>735976847>content is playing the same 3 maps over and over>content is doing contracts that will get reset anyway>content is getting upgrades that get wiped tooLmaoing at marathon players
>>735976847jesus
>>735976847For Arcdads the only acceptable form of content is gathering literal garbage so that a number in your stash goes up and having quirk chungus voip moments with your fellow gamer dads.They have no interest in pushing their skills or attempting difficult quests.
>>735976938but it does have a midgame and an early game
>>735976938Arc has more maps, which provides way more hours of content than anything in Marathon.
>>735976983>>content is playing the same 3 maps over and overHere's the thing that you don't seem to be getting in your skullEverything you do in this game is nothing more than an excuse to have some shootouts with different players with a series of variables and pressure from certain conditions and situations you happen to find yourself in.The longevity of the title comes to granting a series of tasks and events that end up resulting in consequently unique and somewhat unpredictable runs.You not liking the gameplay has fuckall to do with any lack of "content"
why do these games always release bare bones, then a couple weeks later have a single content drop then go months with nothing else? Do they not understand the point of a lives service game is you need content pumped out regularly?
>>735976650Paul won Maratoons lost. Bigly
>>735977142Arc has more maps with nothing to do the nth time the whole lobby sided together and instantly wiped the Overseers in 20 minutesMeanwhile less than 250 people killed the Compiler
>>735977269>Arc has more maps with nothing to do the nth time the whole lobby sided together and instantly wiped the Overseers in 20 minutesWay to tell on yourself. Arc also has PvE and PvP lobbies, which is again more content, more ways to play the game. More enemy types too.
>>735976847what the fuck is this dungeon?
Clean this shit up janny. They are all shitting on Marathon and you’re just laughing? Do your fucking job. CLEAN THIS SHIT UP.
>>735975446Yes I went in with a group I found on Discord. Dudes were way above my level but let me go with them.
The game is just boring desu
>>735977167>AKSHUALLY the lack of content isn’t actually a lack of contentIf you want to have shootouts and gunfights why not just play a non-extraction shooter and skip all the bullshit?
>>735977262>Paul wonIf he was right in overinflating the budget of Marathon in reports and even if his shit attempts at trashing the game worked, then Destiny 3 would still not happen, so he lost either way just like the rest of the Destishit retards
>>735977661why are you crying that you have to raid vaults and extract shit in an extraction shooter?
>>735977762Every clip I see of this game makes it look so bad. How does it even have 30k players? Why did you buy this slop?
>>735977762>>735977167it's literally impossible to play this game in a way that doesn't result in a PVP sweatfest engagement and because of the accumulation of resources and loss of gear on death it means everyone but the top 3stack in every match has a bad timethe game is fundamentally flawed and whittles away its own userbase by design
>>735977854>How does it even have 30k players Most people who bought marathon are destiny players who are desperate to keep bungie afloat so they don't give up on Destiny 2. Most of these people don't even give a fuck about marathon
>>735977985This true. They cannibalized their own player base for Marathon.
>>735977762This just looks like apex legends to me
>>735977942>pvp game has pvparc raiders is that way
>>735977942works on my machine, pal>accumulation of resourcesLOL the game has so many ways for crafty players to get back in the game
this saymyname guy sure is desperate for people to play his shit game
>>735978183it's PVPVE>>735978215>you have to grind your way back to gear parity so you can lose to sweatier players againfun
>>735978215This looks like a generic cyberpunk shooter I don't get why /v/ has such a big hate boner towards this game
>>735968790i found it fun until recently when all the casuals quit and now there's nothing but sweats left. every single fight i get into is with a fully kitted tryhard team that wipes us in ten seconds flat. it's just not fun and its hard to git gud when you just instadie.
>>735978297>grindis that how you call having fun?
>>735978728t. ingame survivorship bias
>shill posting these webms has played an average of 12 hours every single day since the game released>Spends the rest of his time not sleeping shilling the game here
>>735970290>the biggest bungie shill rat has jumped shipgrim
>>735978728In all these webm here, are these enemies even real human beings? They all act so stupid, like bots. Are you sure they are not bots, cause each time when I see how you shoot another retard which couldn't even properly moves in shooter I have solid feeling they are all bots. They are like blind cats, they didn't even shoot back.
>>735978851Don't forget the 34 hours of server slam bro>>735978758Just shoot without getting shot lol
>>735977030Are we really looping back around to Souls autist hardcore gamer wankery again? Fuck off, I already grind my dick into the dirt every day in real life, I don't want a masochistic grindfest to be the entirety of my vidya experience too
>>735976847fps games 20 years ago launched with maps like this and had dozens of themyou maratroon shills are literal shiteating bugs
>>735976938Neither does Marathon. Marathon doesnt even have an early game except for Tutorial Perimeter, and no mid game either. It's just "k, go get resources now. Good luck"
>>735979254>if you're the best player or 3stack in every server then you have a good timeyeah we know
>>735979426Sounds like skill issue, palGoing from giving value to green shield to having a vault with a dozen purple shields is quite the progression>>735979507Nah, I'm far from the best player and I stilll can carry sponsored kits>>735979354>Are we really looping back around to Souls autist hardcore gamer wankery again?we are the same fanbase bro
>have five shit matches>"surely the streak will break eventually">have 20 more shit matches
i can't wait for nu bungie to die
>>735978851>He fucking plays videogameThe bastard!
>>735981326No one currently deserves to die more than Bungie except maybe Ubisoft
>>735981551i will never forgive them for killing TLOU2 Factions
>>735981624>NOOOOOOOOOOO NOT MY HECKING CINEMATIC THIRD PERSON SLOP UNCHARTED ARENA SHOOTER WITH MOVEMENT INERTIA NOOOOOOOOOOO
>>735981876Marathon flopped, dude
>>735968790better than arc trannies
>>735981876>UNCHARTED ARENA SHOOTER WITH MOVEMENT INERTIAsounds awesome actually
>>735981956If that was true it wouldn't have flopped
>>735968790marathonsisters, we won!
>spamming webms of dogshit gameplay while screaming "u-u-ur bad!" is all the bungie shills can muster
>>735982063Please understand, they're desperate
>>735976847>only found 1 vault key so far>haven't even tried opening itit's over for me
>>735976847This is probably the worst map design i've ever seen in a fps game. This shit really peaked at csgo and insta crashed after.
Which key?
>>735982126I think the best part is that what the shill thinks is the best the game has to offer to try get people to buy itmeaning he likely has tens of, if not hundreds of hours of gameplay that even the shill thinks isn't worth being seen
Wait a minute. This game is an extraction HERO shooter? What fucking turd Bungie cooked.
>>735982023I don't car how many normies played arc trannies though
>>735968790Blastbros, we returnin to form! Lighting in a bottle!
Bros…
>>735982972Easily the worst shell in the only map where it matters.
>didnt even break 40k todayahahah holy shit lmao
>>735982972
it's dead, jim.>almost behind CSGO>cs2 has over a mil
>>735983502it's behind fucking dayZ, gta5 and terraria, the game release 3 weeks ago jesus christ
>>735983394it would be kinda sad if it wasn't so funny
>>735970793What's the game I championed? Are you making things up again?I don't even like the video game industry. I don't get hyped, I don't feel FOMO. I will not buy your game.
>>735973915>All updates are free nigga,lmaoooooooo not with the playerbase it has
>>735976847All of this "content" would be cleared in a day by everyone if they removed PVP elements. It's barebones.
>>735978183Arc Raiders is built around PVE. There's REAL content that is fun and takes time to do, so people will forgo PVP to do it.
the real way you can tell the game is shitfucked and dead is that we went from 5+ threads constantly in the catalog to this being the only oneeven the shitposters gave up caring about it
>>735982682Crazy how bungie was so far up their ass they didn't even want character creation.
>>735984364because the blatant obviously troll/flame threads get deleted
>>735984560that was always the case. and before there was still so much volume it didn't matter.
>>735984235>PvP game is built around PvPYeah no shit Sherlock. The PvE in its current state only exists for people to make noise and expose themselves thus creating player encounters.But you're probably one of those retards that think that a Hunt Showdown, Sea of Thieves or Tarkov PvE mode is a good idea too.
>>735984603You're fucking retarded. In order for a game to be GOOD when built around PVP is to have in-depth combat systems, proper rewarding mechanisms, and maps/modes built around engaging PVP encounters. Marathon uses poorly designed low TTK PVP with dogshit and obscure balance to artificially inflate the time it takes to complete empty missions. Cryo's main difficulty point was literally its RNG. It forced players to fail for no reason. Once that got removed people started completing it quickly. The only other element that makes Cryo take longer, along with any other map objective is the PVP system with no matchmaking.So the difficulty isn't even related to the game, it's entirely the players. Remove the players and the game is empty and easy. That's poor game design.
>>735983847>I'm unmoved>UNMOVED I SAY!!
>>735982972THIEF SEXO
A 30k consistent daily player base is really decent for an extraction shooter.You guys are making a mountain out of a anthill
Shieeet
>>735984987>So the difficulty isn't even related to the game, it's entirely the players. Remove the players and the game is empty and easy.Not that anon, but you do realize how retarded you sound, right?
>>735968790Bungle needs to get some more jeet bots to pump those numbers. lol. lmao even.
>>735985637It's at the same level as Destiny 2's worst performing expansion, and that was enough to send Bungie into crisis mode at the time.
>>735985637How many does Arc have at the moment?
>>735968790They likely just threw a pricetag on it JUST as an entry fee for cheaters. Just like how content has level restrictions that takes quite a bit to get to.>take a notable hit to playercount>cheaters now have to pay to keep going after getting banned and regrind to get access to the victims players with "good" gear they will have the biggest effect on.
>>735984987>Poorly designed low TTK PvP with dogshit and obscure balanceMaybe in solos. There's definitely some balance pain points in Shotguns, Snipers and having no cap of self revives but trio squad play is very well balanced. The classes synergize nicely encouraging team play.>Cryo's main difficulty point was literally its RNG.You're retarded. Opening the vaults makes up so little of your playtime on the map cause it's still first and foremost a PvP map. Cryo is a huge test of understanding navigation and map flow. The security clearance mechanic and the maps layout are designed in a way to give the teams that have the best understanding of where people might be advantages. It's a cornerstone of this games map design constantly giving you information about what other players are doing so that it can make players meet each other.I think you genuinely don't understand this game. It's a PvP game first and foremost and that's why it's pissing off so many people. I'm not saying it's the right move from Bungie but this game plays much closer to Hunt Showdown or Tarkov than Arc Raiders.
>>7359858513 actual players and the rest gathering loot and waving at eachother
>>735985683wtf we seriously never broke 88k?they couldn't have just turned on line 100k bots?maybe they want it to fail
>>735985637>yeah sony you spent 4 billion dollars buying our studio and funding the rest of marathon but look the game has almost 30k players after its first week!
It’s a good game. Critics have said it, steam reviews say the same thing, and so do the PS5 ratings. Everyone is having fun except you autistic /v/fags hellbent on hating the game. Why do you even hate it? Because you were a rape victim and played D2?
>>735985920>Cryo is a huge test of understanding navigation>spawn in>instantly get 3 clearance monitors>can push other teams before they leave the spawnyea there's no rng at all...
>>735986002they cant do that because its a lawsuit waiting to happenimagine if investors found out that those games were botted heavily? they could sue sony into the ground. I do believe that there is very minimum botting though, and they'll probably tell you its for server testing which is possibly true but could also be a flatout lie.
>>735984987Skill issue
Its so funny seeing people desperately trying to save this gameWe got something better than a ConcordThe slowburn realization that Marathon is on lifesupport
I got bored after like 10 hours, shit felt identical and the sponsor kits are SO strong it's not worth bringing in gear you find, unless you're doing ranked.
>>735985637Escape from Duckov sold more than Marathon lol
>>735968790It's not 'fun'. It's addictive. You get a rush out of putting some jobber pinatas out of their misery. It probably makes the same hormones as winning cash money by playing poker, if you strike the right ones, or open the fun boxes. And then you clench your asshole while doing the extract dance. If that all succeeds, it's a rush.
>>735986035reminder that bungie got caught paying to have negative reviews purged and to keep critics from reviewing the game for a week instead of when it came out, like every other game to ever exist
>>735986002It peaked lower than Veilguard on steam while costing much less, and has 70% of its players on Steam. Those fact alone tells you how much of a failure the game is
>>735981624https://store.steampowered.com/app/3788160/Terminal_Warcoping that this is gonna be good
>>735986140did it? Look like it sold maybe 500k there, and marathon hit 1m already.
>>735986002they are fully aware how sus it would be if the player count suddenly went up 100kplus it would just be wasted money and imagine if they got caught they would be more of a laughing stock than they already are
>>735986135Shitter opinion of tards that never even used a blue shield
>>735986170>to keep critics from reviewing the game for a weekIGN and Gayspot still haven't officially reviewed it
>>735985637the thing is, it isn't consistent, it's dropping numbers every week, right now it has 14k players less than last week at the same hour.
>>735985851>Arc>Extraction shooter
>>735986483It literally is
>>735986562Lol
HAHAHAHAH
>>735985487I like how none of these vids can really sell this game. It's just so basic bitch with its combat mechanics. The novelty comes out of things that videos are not able to show, e.g. "unwrapping your presents" and seeing an item is purple instead of grey or green. Lol
>>735986283How do you see a peak of 88k players for marathon knowing it sold around 1.2m, and claim Duckov with 300k peak only sold 500k?Duckov sold 2 million the first two weeks, it is up to 3 million sales right now.
>>735968790I watched a bit of a stream of it from the open beta to get an idea what it is about. really like the aesthetics, music and style it has going on for it. For those who actually have played this. How many maps does the full release have and is the final Marathon mothership map/vault end game thing a single map or something more extensive?
>>735978215The lightning has been bottled successfully
>>7359876284 maps2 suck1 is gone for more than half the weekits a bunch of rooms that lead to a center>>735976847
>>735987628Yes! I'm also having a blast!This game made me so hooked lately! What are your thoughts on it so far?
>>735987628>For those who actually have played this. How many maps does the full release have 4 right now, and 3 more to release included in the release price tag until year 2>and is the final Marathon mothership map/vault end game thing a single map or something more extensive?So far it's a single big map.But it's just a central section of the Marathon, so it's likely that one more map will take place in the tail
>>735987756Certified blast haver
WHY ARE PEOPLE FORCING THEMSELVES TO HATE THIS GAME?!The hate is so FUCKIN' performative and Embarrassing, man!Marathon is unironically the best extraction shooter in the market.If what you're looking for is the extraction shooter experience.If you want fun stories with strangers then yes, ARC Raiders takes it.Otherwise Marathon does everything better than EVERYTHING else!It actually takes patience and time to learn the game and once you do, it’s amazing!This is actually one of the best shooters I’ve ever played!
Marathon was my first extraction shooter.I liked it for a bit but it reaffirmed my belief that I don't like extraction shooters. Everything I like about the gameplay I can get elsewhere with a more complete game
YOOOOO THIS PRODUCT IS LITTYBUNGIE REALLY FRAMEMOGGED THE SILLYMAXXERS WITH THIS ONE
im afraid the mds is terminal, sir.
>>735988691society must burn
>>735986823because duckov is only on steam and marathon is on consoles (Which have been historically and still are by all accounts 5-10x PC on average
>>735968790waiting for it to go f2p
>>735987764>>735988074so four (including Marathon ship) with plus three coming down the pipeline. Got it. How is the upgrade system? The class unique mechanics I saw like the double jump or camo cloak are a start, but does the system upgrade these powers in meaningful ways? Like new capabilities or modifiers. or are they simple numbers go up type of deal?
>>735988835There's three upgrade layers1. By using materials and credits you exfil, you upgrade some sort of faction tech trees. Those also include straight up buffs that always affect you, like running faster, running longer, gaining more shield energy from killing other players with a finisher,...2. Implants. Those are Head, Arms and Legs. They have a single special passive and then a series of stat modifiers depending on their name (e.g. Graceful Landings makes you lose no health with taller drops/jumps and have better hardware resistance)3. Cores. Those are systems that are usually Shell specific and change or improvehow your abilities work with other effectsWeapons also have a chip slot, that has a passive unique effect like "weapon instantly reloads after killing an enemy"There's also rare mods that change how a weapon works, like an smg that can be turned into an autoshotgun
>>735988835Faction upgrades are used to upgrade your shell's (character's) base stats and also unlock items for purchase in the Armory (store). Factions are upgraded with a combination of credits and loot/salvage of various rarity that you find in the overworld. Personally, I think that the higher tiers of faction upgrades require too much rare salvage to be worth the effort for anyone that doesn't play this game everyday. Some of these items directly enhance your shell's unique abilities like dash, double jump, camo, etc. They can also be looted from the overworld if you get lucky and also extract with them without dying. "Cores" are special implants that enhance this, while "Implants" are more for base stat enhancement (or penalties).Of course, this all gets wiped at the end of a 3-month season, so you'd do this all over again.
>>735976847>lots of tedious busyworkoh it's definitely a successor to destiny 2
yes siryesyes they call it blast postingyes, well.. he does it a lotno, he doesn't seem to be that interested in gaming he just loves blast postingwell..this morning I think.. he just keeps saying its bungies best, something about...lightning in a bottle.. oh I don't know! please help my son
>>735989164alright. Thanks for the insight. final question. Does the PvE roster expand beyond what was seen in the open beta? As in new security droids and alien-things beyond the giant red ticks I saw?
>>735988817Player count has never been equal to how many copies are sold. It's the sustained sales of x amount of people who all log in and play at different times.
Oh boy I'm so excited to play a hero shooter with no character customization and no cosmetics and just bland boring appearance using the same 2 weapons shotguns and snipers every game. So much fun.
>>735989521Nope. It's robots and ticks for now, with one singular unique PvE boss encounter on this >>735976847 map.
>>735968790>1 enemy>Nothing unique about the gameplay>Visual design is all fluff you don't engage with it at all>Objectives are non-interactive collect key to open box, fetch quest, farm the 1 enemy, etc.>All cosmetics are recolors>Final map does nothing new and actually pales in scale or comparison to the basic drone fights in Arc Raiders>There is no base which is even a feature in a non-progression based game like Deadlock which spawns you right into a hideout to test everything or chill>Bungie decided to save the only irredeemably shit feature of OG Marathon which is that the story is exclusively told through terminal entries and audio logs like Bioshock but far less interesting>Bungie shows no sign of having any future plan for the game let alone overhauls to the copypasted static Destiny gameplay that hasn't aged well in an industry that's been embracing new movement techsShill thread aside there truly isn't anything unique about this game and it's not doing anything new. The guns have 0/10 designs too.
heres cryo saving your game bro
>>735985683>>735986002They're barely breaking 40k on weekends anymore. It won't be long until they barely break 20k weeknights and 30k on weekends. It failed.
>>735990059god i wish that was me
>>735990639Those are good numbers for an extraction shooter. Thats what you guys aren't getting. You are comparing it to five night at freddies or whatever childish shit you play. You aren't mentioning it is the #1 current users extraction shooter on Steam. Chuds ignore facts to build up their own pretend world.
>>735982972Getting turned on by drawings or video game characters is queer. It doesn’t matter that the drawings are of a female form. Masculine men do not have unhealthy attractions to a cartoon. Maybe your isolated enough from people so you think it’s ok or acceptable in your own little bubble where you think it’s straight to be attracted to cartoons. Reality is that your a degenerate faggot pervert. You deserve exclusion from breeding with women and your sexual energy should stay pointed towards drawings faggot.
>>735991189Delta Force has a higher player count
>>735991189I dont give a shit whatever niche category you try to put it into cope. 1 million sales is fucking awful. 30k CCU is asbolutey fucking awful. But keep huffing that copium im sure it will help something.
Bungie is running out of shills…
>>735971790Nobody runs labs though.
>>735991262patently false
>>735991189they put 5+ years into this, and had 300+ people working on it by the time it releasedThis shit is not making any money back, dude
>>735977030That's true and anybody that stuck with it after the refund period was an idiot. But also marathon has no goals to push for like cryo has no fucking purpose. Hell outpost hardly has a purpose farm gear for what just to keep fighting other players? For what?? It's all so unfinished there aren't even intrinsic rewards to farming these maps so if you're not playing it just to PvP what are you even doing on Marathon? I can excuse the arc dads for not getting into it until the PvE first has a purpose and preferably becomes fun to do.Marathon is pretty antisocial which is a better reason people aren't getting into it as much
>>735991524now read the peak player count for the day
>>735968790No offense to people that like the game but it looks Ike deep-fried dogshit
>>735991524Is delta force a euro game? Why are they in the 24 hour low count right now?
>>735991524Marathon bros....
>>735991709china
>>735991690in game the aesthetic especially audio is good but yea the characters guns and enemies are fuck ugleh
>>735991524god damn....
Don't worry guys Bungie said they are in it for the long haul I 100% believe them.
>>735989563>>735986823It's a useful enough proxy for launch period, and you can combine it with sales ranking to extrapolate attach rate. Marathon sucks ass at both. The 40 dollar gateway hurts gains, but helps with retention, but it's not clear what it's stable number is, other than it's lower than what it is this week. I don't see anything to change that, and it's really bad news for the reset. I haven't looked at duckov in any detail, but it probably has a very different sustain curve, and console ratio, and has easily outsold marathon by a lot. >>735989316Since you're actually playing this, you see anything on the horizon upcoming actually appealing to the lightweights and casuals?>>735987628Unless you have a team and are willing to play hard, I wouldn't bother trying it. >>735992181I beleive them too. But what Sony says is what matters here.
>>735991189SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR
>>735991524Umm... Marafloppers I thought we were supposed to be beating Delta Force!?!?!?
>>735992483Oh no no no...
>>735985637>30k consistentThey wish.
>>735992261>Since you're actually playing this, you see anything on the horizon upcoming actually appealing to the lightweights and casuals?Nothing that Bungie has actually confirmed is coming seems to lend itself to that end. The only thing I've seen is talks that they're looking for a way to make Cryo possible for solo players. It seems like Bungie really wanted to cater to the hardcore extraction shooter sweats and the way they initially planned to implement Cryo shows it. Aside from various balance tweaks, the only thing I can think of that would cater to lightweights would be a PvE mode similar to something like what Tarkov has, but the enemy roster isn't nearly diverse enough to hold anyone's attention in a game mode like that.
>>735991614a useless metric unless you think chink games are relevant to NA/EUpeak times matter 10x more
>>735992681....are you stupid?
>>735991709Going by which timezone its peak time happens in I think a lot of players are Russian.
they're probably spending more on keeping the servers alive than they are making on cosmetics
>>735992681>peak times matter 10x moreit did peak during eu hours>huuur dur chinaamerigolems dont count
>>735992575>80k is really good>the game's doing just fine with 70k>60k stable, probably was always the plan>50k is fine for such a niche game>40k is more than enough for an extraction shooter>30k is really decent>the game can survive on 20k actually>people don't realize 10k is still a lot of people>5k? lots of games survive over a decade on 5k>1k isn't a flop, Highguard dev said 1k is plenty for long term support
Were now at people coping that 30k is good lmao

>>735992915Actually I might have misaligned peak time. It would be between 5pm and 6pm in China, so probably mostly China yeah.
Retards.https://steamdb.info/stats/globaltopsellers/Look at the revenue chart.Marathon is at 19th.Delta Force is 84th.Meaning Marathon is making fucktons more money than that chinkslop.
>>735993165oh no no no no doomerbros
>>735988835There is ONE map in the pipeline coming in the next few months. Not three.
>>735993261its a shill pretending he doesn't have the game. there is one new map, unless you count old map but night, but if we count that might as well say arc raiders has 20+ maps then because of their night maps / conditions on the map.
>>735993341Marathon is getting night maps too
>>735984317Nigga please lmao
>>735993165>it's making less than a free clicker MMO from 5+ years agogrimtastic
>>735993165yeah dude bungie's been raking in "fucktons" of cash for sony lately. everything is going great!https://archive.ph/1l8ANhttps://archive.is/u3oIo
>>735969045No ones really asking for a PvE mode cause the PvE sucks
>>735993584Yeah im fucking tired of seeing people request for pve when the uesc are boring as fuck nowTheyre just glorified alarms for other pkayers to hone onAnd the compiler itself is pure bulletsponge ASS
>>735976847This is just a destiny 2 dungeon but they tripled the busywork while making the actual puzzle easier than VoG. This is garbage.
>>735988691okay this is fricking epic

>>735977205western devs are lazy and stupideastern devs know how to run a business properly
>>735978183Arc raider PvP is better than marathon PvP because arc doesnt rely on 500lbs of aim assist as a crutch.
>>735994302Arc has more fun pvp because not every encounter devolves into kill on sight immediatelyAlso people get REALLY mad at you if you kill them lmao
>>735993996>>735994064my brain with some of these takesthese people are even more retarded than we areare they more retarded than reddit? I actually might believe it
>>735988817it's been confirmed by bungie insiders that PC is 70-80% of the playerbase
>>735988817800k of the "estimated 1.2million!" that marathon has sold is from steam, my dude.
>>735995324>foolish to shut the game down prematurely they're literally burning money by keeping it alive do these people not understand video games are a business Sony doesnt give a shit about your fee fees
>>735995324Bargaining
Pls do not redeem blasthavers, you will surely get the Karkland.
>>735995324cant imagine getting this attached to a game when the writing has been on the wall for a whilethey must have sunk some money into it
>>735996328Yea, they're something.

>>735996464Jesus Christ.
>>735996464holy fuck melty
>>735968790>extraction shooterAnd here's the whole problem, it needed a good single player campaign, like for example halo.People buy the game for the SP, then stay for the MP.
>>735996464lmao fucking based
>>735996464I dont know if this guy likes or hates marathon
>>735996631it didn't need SP, it needed Destiny 2's large overworld maps so you could engage with story content, puzzles, and PVE without audio guaranteeing that every gunshot or event trigger inevitably leads to a PVP engagement with a 3stack of sweatlords who are more skilled and more geared than you
A singleplayer game woyld have unironically sold better than this kek
>>735994064Aww
>>735996824any other fucking genre would have sold betterspending 300 million on an extraction shooter might be one of the dumbest decisions in history
>>735996825$3 have been deposited to his account
>>735997037Even Nintendo when they made the famicom detective games they spent a relatively small budget because they knew they'd be niche, and still turned a profit.
>>735969369the community is taking the timed cryo archive and ranked rather well. the weekend restrictions are there so you can't cheese the modes by playing during low-populated hours.
>>735997336>the community is taking the timed cryo archive and ranked rather well.By consistently dropping the player numbers?
>>735997336Imagine gimping your game on purpose.Absolute incompetence. They deserve to fail.
>>735997336It’s Marathover.
>Peaked below 40k on Sunday Complete and utter collapse
How much does it cost to maintain servers and the staff to keep making content for this game? I want to have an idea how much money bungie is torching monthly to keep it alive.
>>735998352What a cute Kirby
>I'm having a blast but i have to fit in and shit on the great game!Why are marathonians like this?
>>735998352Is sub 10k possible bro?
>>735998654It lost 15k players this week. At this rate of collapse it'll be sub 10k in 2 months
>>735998440What great game?
>>735975186You didn't play 3,500 hours of content in tarkov, because tarkov doesn't have anywhere near that much content
>>735976847>also no I didn't do contractsI wish there was an in-between between Marathon and Arc Raiders quests.>Arc Raider>Quest 1: press a button here>Quest 2: kill 3 arcs>Marathon>In a single run:>Inject yourself with poison>Run to the other side of the map while being damaged from poison
>>735985487wow players walked into your crosshair without knowing you were there, truly amazing gameplay
>>735978851>has played an average of 12 hours every single day since the game releasedno, that's me. this isn't my thread. good to see marathon is still the most discussed game on /v though.
I like the aesthetic but I didn't enjoy BR or exfil games the few times I tried them. They either feel empty or stressful with no in-between. I'll be enjoying synthetik for kino cybaphunk
>>736000559>Run to the other side of the map while being damaged from poisonthose sekiguchi contracts are some of the best

starting to run into cheaters everyday now, not good

Are no-lifers still pubstomping right now?

we may hit sub 10k at low times soon maybe even tonight
