as a solo i've kinda hit a brick wall with the content. vip with all the factions, can't solo cryo, worst ranked mode of any game ever, and cheaters are more common now too. i might be done, friends.
You're a fucking idiot
I had a blast
>>736006387The servers will close down soon and you won’t have to worry, Blasthaver. Truly genre defining.
I would offer to play but I'm a sperg and hate talking over mic. Doing cryo is genuinely some of the most fun I've had in FPSes in years.
>>736006387Try locking in
>>736006387I got a filling they’ll add an experimental solo version of cryo soon.
>"""people""" actually grinding during the week in order to get their chance to be background NPC fodder for the actual players Bungie made this game for (streamers)You are just unpaid extras to be farmed by Bungie's paid talent and you lap up this excrement like pigsBeyond pathetic
Hooked
>>736006387just play with fills
>>736007258Liking the new apex update
>>736007258the last time i tried to do a trio fill i got one guy who didn't use his mic and another was a black guy talking to his "stream chat" on open mic
>>736007258Looks so bad
>>736007258Fuck this looks like absolute garbage. What the fuck.
>blasts?had>lightning?in a bottle>love letter?to the fans>haters?ignored>artstyle?mirror’s edge inspired>gunplay?smooth>hotel?trivago
>>736007258Damn marathon plays like that? Honestly im intrigued. Ive been shitting on it nonstop, but this looks cool. Only $40 too…
>>736006387Just make it F2P and sell gooner skins.
>>736008083they'll prob have to
>>736006387>4 to 6 year development cycle.>reboot a single player franchise decades later and turn it into the worst type of friends-slop.>don't include any story mode but put a $40 dollarydoo price tag for a F2P model game.>make everything look ugly and call it muh unique art direction (which was plagiarized in the first place) but in reality it's just the shit lazy developers phoning it in and not doing actual work on the graphics, modeling and textures.>launches with ONLY 3 tiny ass maps that look the same.>the shit endgame map rushed in a week later because of disappointing sales and player numbers.>The end game map filters out even more players instead of attracting new ones.>stupid fucking hud and UIx design that everyone hates.>ugly character classes which are useless most of the time.>boring to fight npc bots that look the same as some of the character classes.>the ugliest and most uninspired looking guns to ever exist in any game.>refuse to acknowledge they fucked up and were huffing their own farts throughout the development cycle, ignoring any criticism for the shit that was forming.>hire shills instead to defend the atrocity.Where did the $3.6 billion go? It sure as fuck didn't go towards this game.
>>736007258is this game crossplay? That guy's aim look retarded
>>736008858Nominally "yes", but that would require console players to exist.
the games doing just fine chuds
>>736009421SUB 10K THIS WEEK???
>>736006480I'm glad I played Marathon before it shut down. It does a lot of really good stuff and I unironically had a blast. Shame all the characters looks like plastic toy troons though
>>736009421Wow arc shitters got forty thousand Roomba tier IQ's to play Borderlands
>>736006387Playing games till you get bored and moving on is how gaming is supposed to work anon.The sooner we get over this notion of games needing to be infinite playtime machines the better.
>>736007258So Bungie made the meme for real.
https://www.ign.com/articles/marathon-review9 OUT OF 10 FROM IGNMARATHON FUCKING WON
>>736009960Sub 10k TODAY
>one lonely jeet replying to himselfLol lmao even
is this the lowest dip outside of a maint yet
>>736007258Had a blast watching this
>>736006387At that point, just play Rook and make it your mission to ruin the fun of teams.
>>736016073i've only played rook a hand full of times desu, might give that a go
>>736018310>i've only played rook a hand full of times desu, might give that a goRook is my favourite way to play, honestly. With a few of the keystone upgrades from each of the factions he goes from being a joke to a demon with 3x claymores and enhanced silent pistols and shotguns.
>>736007258might be the slowest most boring poorly animated AAA FPS of the last 26 yearswhat the fuck are those viewmodel animations? did everybody with taste just collectively decided to stop working for AAA? fucking wild how bad the animations are these days
>>736006387this isnt even your screencap lmaodilate
>>736006387>can't solo cryoBy design too, faggots.>and cheatersThe majority of players are Chinerman, what do you expect.
>>736021528>might be the slowest>most boring>poorly animated>AAA FPS>of the last 26 yearsyou have never played a good or bad fps in all 16 years of your life little chudplease fuck off
>>736011743I think a bunch of games look just like this, but still funny.
>>73600858510/10 post that displays facts that make it obvious the type of people willing to defend the ``game''.
>>736006387People can cope all they like but this was never going to be a good game.
>>736007258There he is, shit webm schizo
>>736022605even valorant mogs marathon which is funny because they hired one of the devsmarathon doesn't come close to any of the big sloppa shooters in gameplay quality
>>736023291Marathon hired the Valorant dev or the other way around? I am guessing the Valorant dev was hired by Marathon based on your wording, but just want to be clear.
>>736023547Gee I wonder which came out first... That's like asking if a cake or eggs and batter came first... Perplexing...
>>736006387>i might be done, friends.didn't ask imagine buying a game that's complete dogshit.
>>736023547yeah marathon hired joe ziegler who was a valorant dev and it's funny because bungie/destinyfags have been getting whiplash that zeigler has been the only communicative dev at bungie in yearsI guess the usual behavior from bungie has been punching down and sperging at customers like they did last week when people suggested the reason marathon isn't a great game is due to former halo devs leaving. One of the bungie devs confirmed a huge chunk of halo devs have always been at the company which sort of proves that their notion of good gameplay has simply aged out altogether.
>>736021528go play cod if you want to zoom around the map, nigger
>>736024953ok but marathon is literally CoD but worse so idgi
>>736007039Holy fuck I kneel
>>736007258If it wasn't for some of the lighting/particle vomit, this art style really makes it look like a PS4 or even late stage PS3 game
>>736006387Marathon, the blast that wasn't
wow
>>736006387>and cheaters are more common now tooNothing can be done about this. There is that cronos device that no anticheat can detect.
>>736008858It's a Bungie game, it has autoaim as a stat. Pic related is for Destiny 2, but it's basically the same for Marathon.
>>736006387so much for that rootkit anticheat and secure boot eh?
>>736011743There is a Deadlock thread up, go post this there too.
>>736021528First time seeing a Bungie game, huh?
>>736006387>can't solo cryobullshit, keep trying
>>736008585>Where did the $3.6 billion go?They were spent to acquire Bungie. None of that went to any game's development.
>>736022841Marathon is already a good game. It just needed to be great, for its budget.
>>736014154Oh good. I sorta liked the beta and would have purchased it if this were a single player campaign with a mulitplayer component.No matter; with numbers like this it'll be free2play soon.
>>736007258i've heard nothing but bad things about this game, but mostly shrugged it off cus its the internet. that's the first gameplay clip i've actually seen for this game and it has cemented the fact that i will never play it.
>>736023291>valorant
>>736006387Dude I put 300 hours into a MH title over the course of months what the actual hell is wrong with you
I hope Bungie manages to do something like Rainbow Six Siege's improvement. I like this game and I don't want it to die.
>>736023291>hired one of the devsmy dawg they hired the lead designer of valorant
I actually liked Marathon at the start but now the game has devolved into a Battle Royale game. Every lobby is about wiping out everyone else before even looking at loot
>>736027236Only Outpost is like that since there are only 4 teams and 1 major place of interest. But yes, PvP is a core part of the game, 1 of the 6 factions is dedicated to it.
>>736011743>Fingerless glove meter not maxedSkill issue
>>736026778i'm 42yo, single and retired
>>736007394>>736007580>>736011743>>736021528Like >>736022948 said, the guy posting these webms is a schizo/shill who has been at it since Marathon launched. You can tell because all of his filenames have the same format. I guess he could be a stealth super troll where he knowingly posts this gameplay footage to show anons how bad the game is, but I feel like that's giving him too much credit.
>>736025986I think you can't even get into Cryo without being in a premade group.
>>736006387>I played only 336 hours aka 14 days of my life aka roughly half a month and the game is badholy shit
>>736025854you may not like it, but this is actually peak game designt. mkb pc idort
>>736007258How low is your ELO or whatever the SSBM ranking is that you are put against literal retards like this?
>>736029406the game fills your party but it's not like you have to communicate with them in any way
>>736011743After seeing the interface that worlo warcraft troonies play with, this meme just looks like naive fun
>>736027697>42>retiredHow'd you manage that?
>>736029730Larping
>>736029730They always say "I'm retired" or "I own my own business" and never elaborate and just leave the thread because they are NEET trolls
>>736029730I'm 34 and retired (from working).I just collect gibs and raid foodbanks.
>>736029730I am 28 and retired aka my parents pay for everything
>>736029730bitcoin, been retired since late 2017>>736029848>>736030469close to a quarter mill in tax, paid early too. enjoy your weekdays, wagie
>>736031078Thats nowhere close to retirement money delusional NEET
>game stayed 10 hours below 20kProbably it's gonna hit below 10k players tomorrow as the new lowest
That's what happens to game with no SBMM.
>>736032087getting close to your mom's body count
>>736032352why does this board have so many failed 40 year olds on it?
>>736032087You guys make that sound like a bad thing, but a videogame having the same number of players in it all at one time that is consistently higher than the population of Millbrook, Alabama is still impressive. Marathon is doing fine.
>>736032914For a quarter of a billion dollars, Sony could've purchased that entire city and built a modest data center in it. Or just impersonated Centralia, PA, dug a mine shaft, dumped their money down it along with some tires, then set the whole thing on fire.
>>736032594as opposed to what?
>>736033427Failed 20 and 30 year olds who are on their way to becoming a failed 40 year old.
>>736032594this is the only place left that reminds us of the better times, before all the progressive faggots took over and started banning people for using naughty words
>>736009421
Would be funny if it went on sale this week, or would that be their acceptance of defeat?
>>736032307>no SBMMSBMM will just fuck queue times without a critical mass of players queueing. That ship has sailed for Marathon, it's too late for SBMM.
>>736035478>trading peaks with Hunt Showdown, a game that was joking referred to as a non-competitor to Marathon a few weeks agoIt hasn't even been a month and Marathon might go below 10k tonight on its low. Absolute disaster.>>736035529I don't think a sale would help, and the time for one would've been when Cryo launched since they also had all the streamers talking about it. And that weekend, I think marathon actually had a lower Sunday peak than Saturday, which meant Cryo LOST players instead of gaining them.
>>736035658Would it really kill them to add the option to just play completely PvE?
>>736035807>completely PvE?how does that work?
>>736006387>no lifing a game like thisYou deserve the rope OP but you'll probably suffer an early adult death anyways
>>736029323That guy is STILL at it? Shill or troll, what compels a person to behave this way
>>736035918Hmm, I guess it could be like Borderlands where you just kill the enemy and loot shit. Or like the MvM mode from TF2. Cuz as it stands it's trying to be everything but there are better games for PvPvE but if it was just PvP or PvE I think it could be more appealing to people even though it looks ugly
it's ok to move on to something else after sinking hundreds of hours into it
>>736035807Does anyone really believe that a PVE mode would save Marathon? There's 3 enemies and they're all blocky robots, there's zero spectacle.
>>736035918more difficult NPC enemies but lower loot valueteams can't kill each other but they can compete or cooperate for map objectives
>>736035807>would it really kill themYes, unironically. Remember how they only added stuff like solo queue and prox chat after the community called them idiots for a month at least? They were dead set on folding their arms and saying 'No, this is a game for premade 3v3s only. eat shit' until someone in Bungie finally convinced someone in management to make those changes. And even if they made it so you could play the maps without PVP, it'd be fucking boring because the only PVE content are the robot NPC patrols and the little bug things. They'd have to take a year at least to make actual PVE content.
>>736035967Sunk cost fallacy is a hell of a drug, anon.
>>736006387
>9K viewers on twitch>can't even beat I Am Jesus Christ
>>736006387>as a soloWhy would you play solo? It's completely unbalanced and tacked on for the friendless, the intended experience is trios + Rook
>>736007258That just looks like Crucible but somehow worse. I don't even know how that's possible.
>>736008585The artstyle is great, Cryo is a masterpiece and requiring effort to slowly chip away at its puzzles is good. Eventually everyone can get all the vaults if they try.The rest are true, the game is obviously a beta build forced to release early.
>>736007258>called marathon>you walkludo narrative dissonance heckin' subversive storytelling
>>736024109Yeah, it is a shame Valorant has zero developers right now. Just a bunch of stupid faggots pushing blinking buttons like monkeys, amirite?
>>736038224solo is far more exciting to me. i'd always play hunt as a solo vs trios and would enjoy it way more than having idiot teammates running in and doing dumb shit
>>736007704>>hotel?>trivago
>>736038101It's not a fun game to watch.
>>736038557>The artstyle is great,I now aesthetics are subjective but I generally can't understand how anybody thinks that artstyle is anything other than ugly.
>>736011743>tfw most modern shooters now look like this>tfw always low on semenbros...........
>>736038557wow so amazinghow do they come up with this amazing style
whatever you do, do NOT look at the steamcharts
>>736039549I think it is rather neat.
>>736039549I like it. It's new and interesting and there's clearly a lot of thought put into it. I'm just pissed they wasted it on an extraction slop game. But it's also incredibly divisive where people either like it (me) or hate it (you) and there's not really a middle ground. What's crazy to me is why the fuck they would gamble their studio's future on this 'love it or hate it' style and game type.
>>736007258this is 9/10 according to IGN
>>736039615i would buy it
>make one of the most elaborate FPS maps in forever>put in extremely high gate keeping rules>it's an instant meat grinder kill zone for the average playerDaring but off-putting. Yes it's the Cryo archives, though pinwheel on Outpost is like the light variation of the concept, too
DEAD GAME WALKING, WE GOT A DEAD GAME WALKING OVER HERE!
>>736041071Why does this game have so many reviews for how low the playercount is
>>736041071How the fuck does Marathon have player numbers like this but 4k MORE reviews than Slay the Spire 2, a game that did 10x its player peaks on Steam?
>>736041198>>736041143>Why does a hardcore game like Marathon with an engaged community get more reviews than flavor of the month cardslop #2041
>>736040880In Cryo you can straight up avoid teamfights if you don't go in th center and just loot the area you spawn in and exfil, unless you get flanked by other teams that intentionally go for teamfights.Pinwheel is 100% the retard ball pit zone, there's so much fighting yet entire parts of it go unlooted, I waltz in as Rook all the time to find a bunch of dead teams and nobody having looted the restricted container.
>>736041336>engaged community>losing 2k-5k players each dayMight want to reevaluate your definition of 'engaged', m8.
>>736031272That's the tax return, anon
>>736041336Look at games like life is strange. People hug bomb positive reviews on games with less sales as to either attract others or say "I agree with x message or product"
>>736039549yeah bro it fucking sucks i wish it had DLSS 5
>>736039549It only looks good in motion and without video compression. But even then, I completely understand why it's so divisive. It reminds me a bit of how northernmost cities in Russia have brightly painted buildings to counteract most of the year being just white and gray.
>>736006387>he played marathonfor what purpose
>>736014154It's stable.
>Concord lasted only two weeks>Highguard lasted over a month>Marathon underperformed but will most likely remain playable for the foreseeable futureThe industry is becoming increasingly efficient.
>>736043659>Horizon Hunter Gathering will last two years
>>736043659After a few months, I think Marathon will technically cost Sony more than Concord because of Bungie salaries.>$300m to develop it>probably $100m to market it>Probably $3.5m per month in salaries for the 300 Marathon devs still at BungieBut I guess Sony could just surprise everyone with big layoffs and keep Marathon running until the player count gets so low the matchmaking breaks.
I am hooked, personally!Kind of having a blast over here.
>>736043414that’s shills said last week and the week before.i’ll be surprised if it’ll peak past 37k today.
>open door>hear claymore activate>step behind wall>take full damage from claymore anyway>player takes the opportunity to sprint around the corner and kill meHow the fuck is explosions passing through walls still an issue in videogames in 2026
>>736044393Maybe when the shills say 'stable' they're referring to the rate of player loss (2-4k a day), which has been almost consistent daily since launch?
>>736044542>How the fuck is explosions passing through walls still an issue in videogames in 2026they don't. turn your in-game music off, they make noise that's easy to recognise.
face it chuds, you lost
>>736045247There's a very real chance tonight's low is below 10k.
>>736045339There's a very real chance you'll never breed, incel
3 bullet WSTR is retarded
>>736045548Maybe, but Marathon's numbers are still going down lmao
>>736045620I do dislike the chip mod system. Everything else is reasonable, but they feel like magic enchantments, not a piece of technology.
>>736044863Whether or not I hear them has nothing to do with the fact that their cone completely ignores the fucking wall I put between me and it.
>>736045684Perhaps, still having a BLASTYou lost
>>736045794that's never happened to me. if you can hear them you can trigger them and get out of the way, if you open a door and there's one at your feet you won't have time to get out of the way. the red cone is the area that triggers the blast, the blast area itself is outside on the cone.
>>736046545If you open doors from the side (which you always should because standing in the open in front of them to be shot by whatever is on the other side is retarded) then you have more than enough time to take the one step it takes to completely get out of the opening, but it does not matter because the claymore completely ignores the wall anyway.
>>736043414the player loss is stable keeeeeeeek
I've only solo queued once and everyone was busy fighting in pinwheel while I found a key and got away with purple shield, backpack, and lots of rare salvage
>>736047430Lucky you, when I solo queue outpost I either die to some rat fuck crouched behind a potted plant in a random hallway or I exfil with green weapon mods and maybe a blue salvage.
Go play the *real* Marathon trilogy.
>>736047734tried to run this on my steam deck, no luck
>Stable 11k less than last Monday
>>736047430The locked rooms are my secret, stop spoiling it. They sometimes even have gold loot.
>>736048779>due to get overtaken by the 3rd place poverty extraction game
are resets mandatory?
>>736049182Yes
>>736049092Hey, Marathon got to where Hunt is but didn't take seven years to do it. I'd say Marathon earned some respect for being so efficient, wouldn't you say so anon?
>grab a red keycard while my team kills UESC like retards>parkour to the next one, notice a guy going for it, snipe him, take his card>drag the ball and chains into Pinwheel>open the locked chest, see a key for a Vault I haven't done >the freekit gypsy I've been carrying takes it firstAllah, I know this is my punishment for not playing Rook, but please turn friendly fire on.Motherfucker, you aren't even going to play in Cryo, you won't use it, give it back
>>736049398which locked chest? the one in the pinwheel base or the one at the end of command wing?
Today's first peak was 27k... it is extra over...
>>736049398it hasn't happened to me enough yet but I wondered if this game needs some kind of need-greed system whenever you find stuff like that and you're standing in the same room.
>>736049316To be fair, one of these games isn't being proped up or valued at 3 billion dollars
>>736049092already happened on sundaysee >>736035478
>>736049897>it's dropping to 26k already>BEFORE the peaks hoursAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEE
>>736050884Bungie was valued at $3.6b back in 2022, and most of that was probably Bungie convincing Sony they were worth that much.If you had some accounting company put a value on Bungie today in 2026, I doubt you'd get to $1b.
>>736029703Show me
>>736051185fun fact, soon after Concord flopped, Snoy increased the price of the PS5 by 50-70 euridollaroos across the worldseeing as Maratroon is a way worse failure on the scale of letting shareholders down, they're now increasing the price even hardergamers can't even enjoy them suffer. They just use the reflect spell
>>736052430While funny, I think those were just coincidences. And certainly right now the price raise for the PS5 is because of the memory shortage. Personally, I think Sony knew Marathon would flop, which is why they wanted it to come out in March since their financial year ends in April.
ACCELERATE
>>736052656How has that RedbullCola guy not gotten banned for wrongthing yet? Even the marathon reddit only allows charts in 'approved' threads with 'approved context' or w/e they said.
>>736052656somehow, even though it's more quiet and matchmaking takes fucking ages, I still get paired with rats that seem to specifically intend to sabotage my basic bitch nucal quest around AI uplink
>>736052656This is when the deathspiral starts btwPlayers in non-US regions have longer and longer queuesFurther dropping the ccuCreating doom and gloom discouraging players from picking up the gameUntil that hits the US region tooBungie is donezoSad
>>736052656>browsing resetera
OH NOOO NO NO NO AAAAHAHAHAHAHAH
>>736053456Today's peak isn't for another three hours, but it probably won't break 40k.
>>736053617>40kThey'd be lucky to break 30k.
>>736052656This game is literally dead outside of US, queue times in other regions are abysmal. SEA and LATAM probably have it worst right now. This is how the game dies, EU is next.
>>736053775all u had to do was support linux and youd be okthe modern, TRANS audience uses LINUX, not WINDOWSso you need to support linux ok?
>>736053673The east coast peak was 26k, and historically the west coast peak is +5/6k higher. So, they should break 30k today. I'm more interested in tonight's low, though.>>736053775>EU is nextDidn't that already happen in the UK, which is why Bungie expanded the matchmaking last week?
>>736053673look at the previous days, there's a slight bump at 8pm UTC and then it starts rising again. Compared to last monday it's down 10k week-on-week, so it's going to peak at 34-35k tonight. You can expect sub-30 later this week, possibly
>>736053775there's a lot of regions I would never buy a game without the ability to run my own server for me and my friends. and by a lot of regions I mean all of them
>>736053456What's coming first, sub 30k max, or sub 10k min? Bet your concordollars
>>736053913if you look at the weekdays at this time, usually its a 5k bump for the american hours. so i dont think it even gets to 34k, more like 32k.
>>736054078Game is dead by the end of the year, and EOS by early 2027. They are just kicking the bucket down the road to avoid another Concord humiliation.
>>736053913>>736054078>>736054127Chartbros, it's good to see you.
>this week the game is peaking at last week's minimumsI'd love to see morale at bungie rn
>>736006480TWO MORE WEEKS and it will definitely fail!Trust the plan,Q
>>736054426But it has already failed, anon. We are just warming up by the crumbling fire.
>>736054484>one itemHOOOOLY SHIT SISTERS THE GAME IS SAVED! GONNA BUY IT IMMEDIATELY, THIS WILL RECOUP THE GAME'S BUDGET!
They faked reviews and bribed hundreds of influencers but I'm also curious if they also botted the number of 'players' in their game. Everything just screams fraud.
>>736054410>moraleAll time high, they don't care how it does, they've secretly been working on destiny 3 all this time, marathon is just it's PvP part released separately with a few maps couple designers slapped together on their own time, so rest assured all is good at bungie!
>>736054410I'm hoping someone gets disgruntled enough to just say fuck it and start leaking info to Tassi about actual numbers and drama and other stuff
>hypothetical discussions about an incestuous orgy with your parents is a thing Marathon players like doThese people are losing their minds.
>>736029521This game doesn't have SBMM. There's no elo so the best players can freely stomp people until they quit.
>>736054484>one (1) item since launch
>>736054484why are most plebbit posts written in ebonics? is the playerbase full of niggers? or is it that most niggerstation owners are subhuman?
>>736054875What the hell else are Coffin players supposed to do until the next chapter comes out??
>>736049398Maybe try asking them for it and trade something like a decent weapon.
Seeing as this game still has so much seething about it from people butthurt they aren't the target audience makes me pretty sure that Sony will attempt pivoting it into a much more PvE focused game mimicking Arc Raiders. Expect Ziegler getting replaced by a new Sony mandated tardwrangler and PvE only cryo archive alongside as part of some Marathon: Engoodened Edition relaunch by Season 3.
>>736055006broken bot ir schizo? highlight the supposed nigbonics in that post
>>736055198It wont even reach season 2 kek
Are the numbers of other titles like the ones for marathon, super low bottoms and then steep peaks? it is like only some specific region in the world cares about this game.
>>736055321It's a US game. Unpopular in europe, dead in Asia.
>>736055198>PVE Cryo>by season 3No fucking way that's enough time with how slow Bungie is at making shit
>>736055198ziegler?
>>736055287Oh it certainly will. It will just be the final nail in the coffin that Bungies plan for this game at this budget won't work out and the final signal for Sony to take over control. And it's not like Bungie doesn't have tons of PvE assets they can just port from Destiny 2 to turn this shit into Destiny 2: Arc Raiders edition. The game in its current state already is a reskin of Destiny 2.
This is what I meant when I say marathon lacks larpWhen every encounter devolves into kill on sight engagements every map will feel the same and casuals grinding out their missions will get chewed up by the no lifes
>>736055515>>736055198None of the enemy NPCs are even that fun to fight in this game.They're all just glorified bulletsponges desgined to as alarms for other players to find you.And don't even get me started on the Compiler.
Your reminder this game isn't getting any new content for 2 months. And that new content is a night version of the worst map
>>736055212learn to read nigger, the user on neofag is talking about plebbit posts being downvoted. Go there and check what's on the front page. Most threads and answers are written in ebonics.N I G G E RIGGER
>>736031078giga based, congrats on winning life bro
>>736055539you don't know what larp means
>>736055198The game is bleeding about a quarter of its players every week. At this rate they'll be lucky to make it to May never mind a season 3.
>>736031078>03i cant wait for bitcoin to finally crash and burn so real coins like xmr that actually serve a purpose as a currency can become the standard
>>736055584Yes I understand the role of PvE in the current game and I even like it that way. However that's not how the mass market views this genre ever since the success of Arc Raiders. Bungie has the advantage of having a huge enemy roster already designed and coded from Destiny 2 which they can just port to Marathon for the eventual pivot. And it's not like people give much of a shit about the UESC being pretty much reskinned Red Legion enemies already.
>>736055720They need to keep the servers up till christmas, otherwise it would be a really awkward acceptance speech at TGA as a surprise multiplayer goty
A lot of these Marabros have Halo avatars.
>>736055938>surprise multiplayer gotyMiyazaki is winning that with his superior extraction shooter tho
Reddit is coping this game will win an award at game awards because journos are reviewing it well and fail to see that journos give good reviews to whoever pays them. Some guy even spelled out how veilguard received good reviews from journalists and failed to be nominated to anything and they refuse to see the writing in the wall.
>>736056232Oh, please- Please! I want all the deluded marapooners to eat crow.
>>736056498Even if reviews mattered, so far Requiem, Crimson Desert and Pokopia have better reviews and we’re still missing Wolverine, GTA6, Duskbloods who are guaranteed 90+And not to mention some wildcards like Splatoon or some indie
>>736008585>friends-slopI cant take you seriously after reading thisActually, honestly, and unironically go the fuck outside and touch grass. Jesus dude
>>736008585>most uninspired guns in any gamepersonally tbqh i think theyre so lazy and low effort they loop back around to become unique and interestinganthem is the game i say has the most uninspired guns because they all look the fucking same
>>736056498>Marathon at the Game Awards>in December>eight and a half months from nownigga, marathon isn't going to live past the summer unless something big changes
>people are so retarded they want the game to stay a 300 million dollar PVP modeThe game has no content lol
>>736056498It's not that they say "you pay us $500k and we guarantee the most favorable score that we think our readers will tolerate". It's that Bungie is in their sphere of influence. Bungie is accountable to them and represents their agenda in terms of hiring and content. Bungie gives them privileged access. Their backers hang out in the same clubs. Bungie is likely to hire them if they want a job there. Pearl Abyss is none of these things. If you're an outsider and you don't demonstrate your fealty by hiring their activists, joining their lunatic fringe crusade, etc., you get a tax on your score. The IGN-style journo is a parasite who's interests are completely at odds with gamers', and the day that this species goes from endangered to extinct will be a great day for the hobby.
>>736055198>>736055287Do you schizos never get tired of being wrong?
>>736012173
>>736054426anon, they probably didn't even make their marketing budget back.Let that sink in, they lost more money trying to sell the game than they made actually selling it.
>>736058003Call me back when the entire Hollywood sphere isn't imploding.
>>736058003Yeah, just like we were wrong about Marathon flopping oh....
>>736031078Reported to the ATO mate, enjoy the audit.
My prediction unless they have the world's most perfect F2P transition: This internal roadmap is going to get ravished and the game will basically enter maintenance mode within a year and a half. Even the Sony company faction that wants to get back to being classic PS2-era Sony probably doesn't want to deal with the headline of "Second major Sony title hits end of service shortly after launch". This game is going to be online for at least two years.
>>736058967yeah i think after pissing 4b on the acquisition they have to at least try and recoup some of that cost before they take the nuclear optionadd linux support, make a pve mode and maybe a destiny style campaign and ur golden
>>736006387Get a life
>>736057651Musk purchased Twitter and fired 80% of the workforce while improving the service. At the same time there was a huge upswell of women posting "How I spend my day" videos painting face, getting on train, going into work, getting coffee and croissant, meeting, relaxation break, lunch, two hours of replying to emails, coffee break, leave for 4:15 train. I recontextualized what these headcounts in corporations mean. Most of the people are in adult daycare while a few autistic White/Asian guys are in the corner doing the actual work, too scared to say anything lest they get reported to HR.
>>736059869...continued (my point)....it seems like Bungie is one of these corporations now. To release with just a couple of maps...what were all those people doing all those years?
>>736059869Hello asmon
>>736059930Is observation an Asmongold-tier sin? I will not repent if it is.
Whats the point of the game after a successful cryo run
>>736060412Dilating
Got the game for free.Is there any point in crew filling? Most of the time everyone's just retarded shooting UESC bots or not even attempting to complete contracts or engaging as a team.I like the setting and lore but might drop it knowing the end game content is going to be locked to me unless I get friends who like extraction shooters.
>>736060412we aint arc raiders no sissy shit o algo
It was doing rather bad today and out of nowhere a totally organic high peak, they managed to have a 30k+ today, they get to live another day.
>>736060412Ruining other peoples cryo runs
>>736060630I get good crew fills like 80% of the and I’m not kidding. People use their mics a lot in this game.
>>736059869What this anon is not saying is that Elon had to re-hire a bunch of the people he fired because as it turns out, they were pretty critical in making the app usable.
>>736060679Still trending lowerCant beieve we still havent seen the floor for this
>>736060880If you need to rehire people instead of Replace them, they've been sabotaging the software for years for job security.
>>7360072582014 game
I came here to talk about this game and build strategies and am surprised to see people somehow either don’t like it or pretend to not like it when it’s the best thing bungie has dropped since halo but also people justifying player numbers as if that’s ever been an important factor to a game’s quality affordable game with thought out mechanics and actually great shooting very odd behavior all around from so many in this thread I miss when this board actually liked good video games
>>736060880Fact checked: they tried to rehire a few people...and then went on to fire an additional 10% of that initial portion, so ~90%. Even more firings than I'd thought.
>>736038589In an earlier beta shells were called "Runners" When someone pointed out that you couldn't actually run very far because you overheat they changed the name.
>>736007258I remember a shill unironically trying to act like rushing melee mechanics in shooters were invented by Marathon.
>>736061539This board is mostly friendless losers that are bad at video games. So of course they get filtered by a challenging PvP video game designed around trios. There was never a chance this board would have liked it in the first place. That's also why you never see threads about multiplayer games hit the bump limit here unless there's something to get mad and/or horny about.
>>736006387I finally got my friend to stop playing this game, thank you Barony
>>736061754>a challenging*snort*>PvP video game Don't you need players for player vs player games??>designed around triosConsole limitations.
>dude the gunplay is so smooth>cant reload while sprintingkek
>>736061754Uh huh, were you also having a blast playing Highguard?
>>736061895No way, please tell me you're joking
>>736061754it’s fucked up!this is the first time in the longest time I have actually been excited about an officially released multiplayer shooter that isnt that hacked up halo pc port or tribes ascend or something that actually made me want to come back here and everyone is just still begging for another TORtanic for some reason without understanding why TOR or concord or any of the games that failed actually failed beyond just numbers
>>736061973i am not. a basic feature for a shooty game is not present here. the movement and shooting of this game is very clunky and early 2007 console shooter.
yeah I uninstalled today60 hours, lvl 32, just couldn't exfil anymore. Can't make friends with rooks because they just shoot on sight, can't exfil solo even just carrying garbage, this pvp shit just isn't for me. You're playing just to give someone better than you satisfaction of killing and keeping you from winning and all you get is a cortisol spike
>>736006387Yeah, I've heard a lot that it's only fun with a group
>>736060246That greasy weirdo might have said it as well, but it's still true.t. techbro that's one of the 'sit in the corner and keep your head down' autists
>>736060412Raping everyone who has worse gear than yours.
>>736008585The actual development cost is around $250M, retard.
>>736061315I think we're on the second week of 'it has stable numbers,' too.
>>736061887*snort*
what really pisses me off about this game is that it could be saved if the developer wasn't fucking bungiebut because it's bungie they won't have another map for 6+ months (confirmed) and no alternate gamemode to keep gamerdads playingIt's like they want the game to fucking die
>>736063527they worked on destiny for over 10 years I think they’ll be fine
>A stable 80k>A stable 70k >A stable 60k >A stable 50k >A stable 40k >A stable 30k
>>736006387From what I hear, Marathon won't habe any real MEATY content for maybe 6 months or more. A new runner and night raid? That's barely much.Not to mention people will have to redo everything with the new season and I've seen sentiment that even people who DO like the game aren't interested in doing that again after beating cryo or even just doing all the quests...Meanwhile, Arc Raiders is having a huge update tomorrow, with new endgamey events, high tier loot etc. and its biggest update yet is literally happening only a month out from here. Every month has a major update.Not to mention Embark actually balanced the guns right and gear matters now. Grey weapons are universally worse in a staredown and get mogged by better shields or guns overall, and the toro isn't obnoxious anymore.But really the difference in content cadence is nuts between the two.
>>736064076Arc Raiders flat out mogs. Gameplay is much smoother, UI is better if solely for the fact that I don't have to hold F to sell things and can select multiple items, more enemy variety. No upgrades locked behind obnoxious missions.
>casually ruins PvP>is mainly PvP game
>>736007039The biotoxic injector was made for streamers to raoe niggers with
>>736064076Knowing how Bungo works, next content drop will be a half assed paid DLC which will divide up the player base. Game looks like digital vomit, watched some guy playing the first map and it's so boring I don't know what else to say.
>>736061559lol retards>hey your game is kinda slow - funny that the characters are called runners, huh? haha..
>>736064289The next 'content drop' isn't happening for two months and there's no actual new content
Why the fuck isn't Bungie adding combat? The game is shaving off 10k players every week, wtf are they doing? Do they seriously have no additional content to release? Are they autistically adhering to the roadmap? There's going to be like 3k players left when the next content drops
>>736049398Valuables like that should be shared with the whole team on extract.
>>736053775Queuing in Russia is still pretty fast.
>>736055636See >>736064076 it's just so fucking trueHow the fuck does bungie even compete genuinely?Im quite hyped for the vaporizer and other new shit>>736064416Literally. Night raid... that type of shit embark adds like every update now to maps like it's easy, but stuff like hurricane, cold snap or ems has actual mechanics. Bird city too is great for the lootBungo takes 3 months to add... night raid...>>736064165They're ALSO fixing crafting tomorrow too, making it so you don't have to menu back and forth, which is like one of the only major issues with the game. They are straight MOGGING bungo.
>>736061754Deadlock threads hit the bump limit sometimes.
>>736061754It is interesting how Marathon not catastrophically failing mindbroke a bunch of people.
>>736065851My theory is that they have a few useful people who are too exhausted at getting sassed at by picrel and his ilk who've infested the company - and watching these types get credit for work they don't do - to bother doing more than the bare minimum anymore.
>>736064076I feel like Arc Raiders could add a Marathon like raid map and it would be great and the entire rest of Arc Raiders is great too, but the only cool thing about Marathon is its raid map while the rest of the game is pretty shit. Even then the puzzles in Marathons raid map are just kinda gay and the boss fight feels like a normal Destiny enemy.Arc Raiders already has puzzle stuff like in Marathons raid map but put into an event like the harvest event or just on normal maps like getting batteries to open a loot room door or bringing resources to open a downed arc machine like the deforester thing in blue gate.Hopefully Arc Raiders does add an even harder end game raid like map, I know it would be way better than the Marathon one.
>>736066138You are probably playing with bots lol.
>>736064416>lets remove the lights in our game>also lets not balance the thermal scopes at all even though they are the best in full light Hunt showdown won. Not even tarkov managed to fuck up thermals that bad.
>>736067119there’s bots in every game theyre the UESC
just woke up and the thread's still going, /v loves a good marathon discussion
>>736061408this is probably my favorite marathon meme... sad even memes were scarce, even Bazz had more cultural relevance,
>>736069737Yeah, there aren't many Marathon gun/design memes, but the few we've gotten are pretty funny. Few things are going to stand up to Concord in terms of meme potential since that game was unfathomably bad on so many levels.
>>736065851they are rebalancing a version of cryo for solos.
>>736041198The real answer is that the Slay the Spire 2 community don't have to cope themselves into thinking their game is alive and well. It's just another form of blast posting.
>>736054875>haha guys it's just like arc raiders PLEASE PLAY OUR GAMESo fucking transparant.
