>The game has now lost over 60% of their players in less than one month>Endgame content failed to hook players>No new content for at least 5 monthsOh no no no Marabros… not like this…
>>736173375It wasn't a marathon, it was a sprint
b-but jeet sheels tell me it is a siccess
I got my fill from the open beta weekend.That they released without the endgame killed any interest that lingered.That they also disabled solo queues for said endgame was the dirt on top of the coffin.
>>736173665Absolutely insane considering they made endgame destiny unplayable for a decade if you aren’t a fireteam faggot, every turn I look they took the worst aspects of destiny none of the good and made this shit
>>736173375Bungie is just making sure they don't overdeliver... trust the plan...
>>736173375Why would I buy it if it's going to get shut down anyway
>>736173375You deserve to suffer if you boughted and put serious time into it.
>>736173375I’m just waiting to see the drop off when everyone’s loot gets deleted in 2 months
>>736174272>buy a game>money stolenThis endgame capitalism is wild.
>>736173665>That they also disabled solo queues for said endgameNigger if you got into Cryo alone you'd be farmed by UESC, there is not enough firepower.>tone down spawns on solo which would make trios objectively harder for less reworksIt won't work
>>736174930>less reworks*less rewards
>>736174930Not my problem.Not Bungie's problem either (they got their yachts)Sony's problem
The inevitabull vs my ytoid bussy @_@...
>>736173375>>The game has now lost over 60% of their players in less than one monthYeah, sure, but I'm having a blast!
>>736173375>MarabrosYeah, that seems about right.
>>736175134These niggas start simping for every concordlike
>>736173665>>736174058literally just get friends you lonely niggers lol>t. multiple day ones on destiny 2 and did cryo with the boys all weekend
>>736175761in reality many of them probably dont even care for the game, they just have to defend it and act like its good because their entire personality revolves around sucking sony's cock
......lol
This game is like tarkov-lite with destiny gameplay. Who did they think would want to sink hours into this game?
>its realAHAHAHAHA HOLY FUCK
>>736173375>check>it's actually a real videoHuh, that's pretty ballsy of Gamespot to criticize Marathon. I wonder what they said..>1 sec into the video>'so, I've got a problem. I really LOVE Marathon..'Other anons were right. I don't hate journalists nearly as much as I should.
an outlet like gamespot releasing a video like this is just going to make things worse lmao
>>736177425encourage this behaviorget them to waste more and more money on a dying gameno refunds
>>736177425It would really piss me off right (I'm a chud btw) if owners of marathon spend $50.. no $200 or more on skins it would make me seethe personally if blast havers would spend $600 on skins to support Bungie
>>736173375>"You must play game you're told to like"
>>736173375>journos can't convince people that maratroon is a good game worth supporting long term>they pivot into FOMO "IT'S DYING NEXT WEEK, PLAY NOW OR MISS IT"the absolute state
anyone check on the maratroon mass reply guy, is he okay
>>736173375Marathon is going to die because it costs too much money to run.If it was by an indie company it'd be thriving.
>>736179056This, BUNGIE employees don't just stop getting paid there's probably 1:10 ratio of employees to players for this slop its just a matter of when Bungie will either >Layoffs Or>Shut down game to keep employees
>>736178770>>they pivot into FOMO "IT'S DYING NEXT WEEK, PLAY NOW OR MISS IT"funny how this is going to DISCOURAGE a lot of people from playing when gamespot is basically pronouncing it dead already I do not see this video going over well
>>736179056That and Sony paid 3.6 billion for the studio and they're expecting profits. This isn't going to do that for them
>>736179287far from itmarathon is a giant black hole of profit right now
>>736179207my prediction there will be another round of bungie layoffs and the remaining employees will have to somehow fix the game with less bodies which will further increase the death spiral
>>736178665It would make me incredibly upset if tourists would continue to spam 3, no 20 more threads on /v/ about marathon like they actually understand what games are. To me this thread is the representation to what happens to DSP. Guy is playing everybody by pretending to be retarded on screen and the mentally ill pretend like they are better than him. Devs will bring the game down and others will pay for it. I'll go play something now, have fun pretending to matter
>>736179427There's no fix for Marathon because it was designed from the ground up to be this retarded 3v3 hardcore PVP game. Trying to flip it to a Destiny type PVE game would take a year at least and that's only with the full team they have now.
>end game content Hold the fuck upA 3.6 billion dollar corporation, owned by one of the biggest media conglomerates on the planet, produced a $40 extraction shooter for hundreds of millions of dollars AND SHIPPED IT WITH 3 MAPS, released a fourth map and called it endgame?THE FOURTH MAP OF A 3 MAP EXTRACTION SHOOTER IS END-GAME???!W H A THAT
If EA gutted dice after the biggest selling bf game everThe trannies at bungie are fucked hahaha
>>736179542>dsp is merely pretendingAh, to be a midwit is to suffer. Oh how I envy you, NOT.
The game is actually great, most fun I've had since tarkov. Playerbase is declining because it's a tryhard, hardcore game. Dying is punishing and feels horrible. Winning feels great, rewarding gameplay too. It's simple: if you don't like marathon, you're just bad. I'm not trying to be a dick or a nerd.
>>736173375What was the gimmick that set Marathon apart from other extraction shooters?
>>736179542How much have you spent so far sister?
>>736179553in Marathon the endgame map actually makes sense.
>sub 40k peak nowBLAST HAVERS WHAT MUST BE DONE NOWWE NEED A FAMOUS COLLAB ASAPHELLDIVERS? KILL ZONE?
>>736179626He has survived for over 20 years.. you were not even born when this guy started acting the way he is acting now. Retards continue donating to him thinking that "heh, i am owning the lolcow" and then monitor his daily life for all these years and YOU are telling ME i'm a midwit? Fuck is wrong with you? >>736179664Nothing i just hope you get off this board
>>736179682In what universe does a multiplayer shooter ship with 3 maps then gets to claim its 4th as END-GAME?Do all you maratroonies have bone marrow cancer?!
>>736179706>tfw same player count for 3.6 billion less dollars
>>736173375Hoo boy, for gamespot to pull that one either they're willingly burning bridges with snoy for buzz or the death sentence had already been called internally.
>>736179875Isn't the Hunt like 10 years old at this point?
>>736179824because they're not just maps, each one is its own game mode, thats 4 game modes and the last one requires you to be playing the first 3 during the week. The endgame map only opens on the weekends and has a entry fee.
Bros...i just don't get itWhy aren't more people having a heckin BLAST
>>736179764So anyways that's a lot of text, is your personal information on kiwifarms? Baseing this on the oddly specific mention of dsp
>>736180027Post the comments
>>736179706>the EU peak isn't gonna break 25k today
>>736180058Yeah, i think that using the voices in your head maybe you can find my thread. Go look for it now!
>>736179937>4 game modesHalo CE released with 5 game modes Why the fuck are we still playing catch-up to 2001
>>736180124Looks like I called it, you sure are seething today aren't you, pissbaby
>>736180027jesus, these people really are delusional
>>736173375why is it my fault that people aren't playing this gamei didn't even do anything
>>736179548>copy paste Destiny enemies>slap zesty neon skins on them>implement ABMM to discourage PvP>free weekends and market to Destiny playersWhy wouldnt it work?
>>736179287It isn't just Marathon. Bungie has ties to some of the worst decisions that Sony had made in recent years. Sony also brought in Bungie as consultants for live service games. Bungie is the one who told Sony they should buy Firewalk and continue to fund Concord. Bungie is the one who told Sony to keep going with a bunch of shit live service projects while canceling things like TLOU stand alone multiplayer project.Bungie is likely getting explosives shoved up their ass soon.
seriously, what's with the weird pseudo-political parasocial fervor that shills and troons have for this game? it's an objectively mid af entry in a objectively niche-ass genre.or is nu-bungie just some queer icon to these people and they need to le own le chuds by having it succeed or something?
>>736174058It's fucking insane that they managed to to take an oversaturated genre that is FPS, and fucking refine the core gunplay into S-tier, and made Destiny. Alongside some top tier story, worldbuilding, art direction and vibesThe first harbinger of its downfall was adding eververse back in d1, followed by removing content people paid for in d2>t. played from d1 launch til d2 forsaken, and left after left afterwards. I heard it turned to shit
>>736180309Pretty funny to think they might have sabotaged that one out of fear and it might have performed much better on brand power alone.
>>736180345Its the same kind of person playing ping pong with itself because there is nothing it enjoys. I think they should at least play a game. https://store.steampowered.com/app/3642000/Space_Warlord_Baby_Trading_Simulator/
>>736180289>Why wouldn't it work?Because the maps in Destiny were designed around PVE and those dynamic encounters like shit flying out of space to set up a big mining drill, or space ships flying in to drop dudes off. Just shitting a bunch of NPCs on Marathon's maps isn't going to do anything and would get old after a week. They'd have to totally rebuild each map and make all kind of custom code for NPCs to do more than stand around.
>>736179931What's your point? It's literally a better game. Marathon wishes it could be as good as hunt.

If you're not playing Marathon right now future historians are laughing at you for not getting into one of the best shooters ever made.
>>736180027holy shit lmao
>>736180345Woke retards falling over themselves to support a woke game that's flopping from a known woke development studio. It's the same as Concord or Forspoken, except this game is from a famous studio.
>>736180345sunk cost fallacy. They fell for the hype train and are stuck holding the hot potato, so they need to justify their purchase and try not looking like clowns.
>>736180492But I'm playing Duckov right now
>>736180490God bless you for keeping up with these posts. I laugh at that pic every time.
>>736180345It was arbitrarily decided that the game would be a focal point in the wars for/against wokeslop. There's not really anything woke in the game itself aside from some robots having ethnic features, but that doesn't matter at this point. Personally, I just want to see Herman Hulst and the Californian faggots running PS eat shit until the Japs come in and forcibly take control back.
>>736180462Im not defending bungoI just wanted to point out this new multiillion dollar release is actually competing with a game that should be at the end of its live cycle
But I thought we blaster havers were utterly hooked?
>>736180345Definitely the latter, game journos saw chud YouTubers talk shit about it and now they made it their identity to defend a multibillionare megacorp to own the chuds. why would you even defend a live service slop to begin with when it's at constant risk of getting rug pulled? I'd rather have a game like bf2 where you can still boot up the game years later and still have fun with friends
>>736175134I mean, saying you played Concord is a pretty good flex, only a dozen people can claim that
>>736180636They are, but the problem is there's only about 15,000 of them and the rest are just people getting tired of the game and leaving
>>736180345the majority of the market rejected a game they find compelling and instead of realizing they bought a slowly bleeding live service lemon they became a cult instead. these types also circled the wagons for mid shit like dragon age veilguard
>>736180681>why would you even defend a live service slop to begin with when it's at constant risk of getting rug pulled?Because this is a hail mary from the industry to try to save the dying live service model. Yes, the ideological drive is part of the tantrums, but sony and other publishers got their hands all over coverage. The narratives will only get more unhinged from here.
>>736180896idk anon, I don't see anyone lining up to defend Fairgame$ or Horizon Hunter Gathering when those turkeys come out.
>mfw Snoy still has to suffer through the release and reception of Horizon Hunters on top of this too
>>736180971Like you couldn't see anyone dying on Concord's or Highguard's hill until it happened.
>>736181017they brought all this on themselves
>>736180971When marathon drops below 7000players and it takes 15+ minutes to get a match they'll come to defend both
>>736180345Bungie shed most of its Destiny associated fans when they basically abandoned it to work on Marathon so the only people left are diehards who are fans of the company itself.
>>736177425AAA STUDIOS HIRETHIS MAN
>>736173375they already got their golden parachutes for shitting all over the floor with the child raping non omnipotent nigger jesus
>>736181056>ConcordI think that flopped way too fast for anyone to even get to the hill, let alone die on it>HighguardI don't remember anyone really defending this except the grim reaper of gaming journalism, Morgan ParkWe're also in a post-Concord/Highguard/Marathon world, and Fairgame$ is definitely lower profile than any of those. I don't think most people even remember it exists.>>736181114I think going below 10k peaks is where matchmaking just breaks completely and you get a cascade effect where people refuse to wait 5+ minutes and leave, which makes matchmaking worse, which causes more people to leave
>>736181017I'm looking forward to it.
>>736181017the shame about horizon hunters is that the gameplay looks like it could have been fun, but theyve doomed it to fail by not letting you make your own character, and instead force you to play as a pack of feral niggers and a fat dyke. when will they learn?
>>736174272this is why companies HATE steam charts btwit's hard to convince customers to buy any multiplayer game late when they can see the game is borderline and probably going to die soon
>>736180027ai post
>>736181151yeah that tracks. I see lots of idiot destiny dad people who don't even fucking own flopathon just constantly desperately shilling and blast-having for some damn reason.you'd have to be real touched in the head and/or having nothing going on in your sad life except the corpse of D2 and your sunk cost therein to be shilling for anything bungie FOR FREE at this point

>>736181338m8, 99% of normalfag 'gun and ball' gamers don't even know what Steam charts are and have never seen one.And probably 80% of other gamers don't either.

>>736181830Not in any volume large enough to impact sales unless it becomes a 15 minutes of fame normalfag meme like Morbius or something. Remember, the reason normalfags don't even know about this is because they're not in the spaces where these discussions are happening to begin with. The overlap surface would only be shit like youtube vids or streamers, and even then I'd argue that normalfags aren't watching either for gaming news.
>>736181017what's the status on fairgame$? is it hyenas 2?
>>736180490f2p would come before pve if i had to guess
>>736182114Still in development but with no announcements in at least a year.
>>736179214Journalists should have integrity, not be propaganda
>>736180345You answered your own question The old Bungie is already dead and buried they tried to go back to MS and they said no way fagBut I also can't hate them because of how they swindled money off Sony like that, imagine paying almost 4B dollars on the studio that made Halo and they don't even have Halo anymore kek
>>736180345>or is nu-bungie just some queer icon to these peopleBingo
whatever dude i'm still having a blast
>>736180027>stellar art directionstopped reading
>>736181532YOU KEEP SAYING THAT EVERYTIME IT DROPS
>>736173375I'd rather play Crimson Desert, thanks though.
>>736180027>interesting lore...? I've played the game and I've read all the lore up to cryo and its...whatever.It doesn't have an actual coherent story to it so the lore doesn't matter. It's like the Destiny 1 grimore except even the Destiny 1 grimore told more coherent individual tales and stories, which later were fleshed out but you didn't NEED them to do that to understand what they were about.Marathon legitimately is the biggest case of them building the narrative as the entire game launches, even the lore is kinda being built as they're going right now since they haven't really established any timeline or basic confirmation of events.
>Stellar art direction I legitimately feel like I'm being psyop'd whenever I see journos or shills saying this. I legitimately cannot comprehend how someone can think pic related looks amazing
>>736180027>lore>multiplayer onlyWho gives a fuck

>>736183669If I made up a lie and only 12 sub humans believe it, was it a good lie?
any mp game that ships these days with a publicized roadmap is extremely funny
>>736183772>NEW Features like: Text Chat
>>736183743That anon is right, sort of. Sony spent $3.6b for Bungie and Marathon is the only new game they got from them so far, although its dishonest to say that Marathon cost $3.6b when it only cost $300-600m.
>>736183772>it's the same map but at nightwow
>>736181532There are 0 thoughts going on in that head of yours.
>>736183907Melty
>>736183743Only if they're gacha SSR tier whales.
You know I figured we'd give it a little longer before they went on the "you have to experience this game before Sony kills it" press push but shit maybe Sony really wants to buffer the PS5 price spike anyway it can
So we're unironically reposting fucking Gamespoot now in any context?
>>736179706Oh, I have an idea... THE ORIGINAL MARATHON YOU DUMBFUCKS!
>>736173375Developing this kind of game sounds really high stakes. Maybe they should have planned for some alternative.
>>736175134jeez i wonder why this nigger is being sued

>>736185494No world where a dev hell AAA live service only costs 100. Even 200 is dubious.
Your reminder that even before marathon flopped Sony said this
>>736173375!#%$ YOU, I HAD A GOOD TIME.
Yikes
lul
>>736182953Because it’s cool, visually arresting, and everything is easily discernible.
game is fukken ded
>>736185696>No world where a dev hell AAA live service only costs 100. Even 200 is dubious.do you know how much people are working on these shitty games, anon? why do you think so many people are getting fired?
>>736185831that robot is too pretty to be on a box surrounded by those words
>>736173539This isn’t a jeet game, it’s a tranny game.
>>736186081oh my bad i read it wrong
>>736180345i mean we can throw the question right back at you and ask why are chuds condemning Marathon and calling it woke and tranny propaganda?
It's a shame that everything about Marathon is pretty cool looking EXCEPT the actual gameplay.Collector's Edition is pretty sick looking.
>>736173375Here’s the god honest truth about Marathon: If Sony want D3 from Bungie, and want players to invest into the live service model it will bring, they have to keep supporting Marathon, no questions asked. Who the fuck is gonna buy into a D3 or any other live service if they kill Marathon right now? Nobody, they have to play ball to build trust back up after Concord. That would be like MS axing BGS after Starfield or FO76 without letting them finish cooking ES6. D3 is the golden goose protecting Marathon right now
>>736186359Shut the fuck up with your shit taste faggot, that statue and art style looks like disgusting, tranny SHIT.
I truly wonder how it feels to be one of the few sober people in a fanbase this high on copium
>>736185831Bravo, Pajeet, you're very talented!
>>736186372Or they just abandon ship and say fuck D3 and blame the last guy for the bungle of buying Bungie. Good money after bad and all that.
>>736173375>high guard enjoyed 40 days before being talked about it shutting down>marathon hasnt even enjoyed a month and at least has actual people saying they enjoy it (paid or not its more than anyone can say about ex voto or concord)top kekall that Art plagarism was TOOOTALLy worth it guys
>>736180490>>PvE will save the game>>F2P will save the gameIts needs the extra step of>Free with PlayStation plus will save the gameThis is Sony's ol reliable of artificially inflating a games "sales" before just going full F2P
I will never ever spend money on or play a game that is on life support at launch and cannot work without a server.If I am not given unlimited guaranteed access to the game I paid for, I am not giving you my money. Ever. For any reason.I am an adult with a job. I control your income on new products, not some dumb kid begging his parents, not some third-worlder paying a subscription, ME, the consumer with money and a desire to buy a good game. Ignore what I say at your own cost. No company can ignore me and get away with it. None have. None ever will.I am the consumer.I pay you.Listen.
Does this game connect at all to the original marathon games?
Being "good" was never going to be enough for this game considering the amount of money Sony spent on both acquiring Bungie and funding the development of the game doeDoomed from the startand now I won't be surprised a year from now when both Destiny 2 and Marathon are canned, and Bungie talent is moved to other teams
>>736176246All my friends would tell me right to my face to go fuck myself if I asked them to play this dogshit and I am grateful for that.
>>736173375Free with PlayStation plus on June reset is literally the only thing that's gonna save this from perpetual 10k hell. You have to be retarded to not take advantage of summer break
>>736180027Pattern analysis of this post determines it is farming opinions to formulate talking points for the shills. It contains multiple sentiments that are widely repeated across different platforms. “Everyone I know is HOOKED”“Every second I’m not playing marathon, I’m thinking about playing marathon”Use of terms “sweaty” and “cooked” to showcase some sort of teenage gamer in group lingo. “What regular dad gamer describes art direction as “stellar”?If you read the posts around various platform they all follow these guidelines. I’m guessing they have model posts to emulate and a list of approved nouns to use. Because of this it’s easy to spot the shills. They seem to have not caught on to “having a blast” being a major red flag and use it unironically, which is hilarious. My guess it’s a third party service who just goes by routine to get paid and doesn’t adjust the narrative to make it more believable and Bungie themselves are not reading people’s honest reactions to the shills, so they are not aware that “hooked” “peak” “blast” and the other buzzwords they use are calling attention to their narrative control shill campaigns.Maybe Ai cooks up the post reply’s and jeets copy and paste this shit everywhere.
>>736173375I caused this.
>>736186878Sort of.It uses the initial event of the Pfhor attacking the UESC Marathon on the same year/date but apart from that, beyond the attack, its implied that events/things are different.Its more like a reboot.
>>736186878it's a reboot. durandal sometimes whispers lines of dialogue you member. the game has no story at the momentmarathon infinity explores different timelines/alternate realities so they can get away with calling it canon if they feel like it
I would be interested in Marathon if it was a singleplayer game. The trailer made by the guy who directed a couple of Love Death + Robots episodes was kino as fuck. I want that game. Not this brainrot live service that shows you a pink skull when you kill someone.
>>736186878Not outside of basic 'member berries so they can claim it's not just riding off the brand.
>>736180709When I knew the game was ogre, I was hovering over a physical copy order knowing this will be a funny historical moment, but I didn't do it. I regret it now. Concord is like the Atari's E.T. in a way.
you can't call everything TRANNY like an i win button or something.christ, is this how gay people felt back in the early 2000s?
>>736187724you will NEVER be a woman. drop that death cult and get some help

>>736187102I think they aren't that concerned with potentially being spotted as shills. They're trying for volume to make it look like there's a consensus, and trying to shut down counter narratives by other means. Owning moderation on r/. Mass bot reports of negative threads/posts here, or just trying to use the divisiveness for traction.If I cared enough I would track when and where the pivots happen.I suspect their keywords can be spotted faster than they can change and review them anyways. They aren't playing the game, so they're always going to be at a disadvantage vs anyone who has. We know what someone who wants to show their mudkips is like.But more fundamentally, the game isn't appealing enough to the masses. Even if they change somebody's mind, they try the game, get bodied non stop See Red. Leave Blue. >>736184334Them going with a doomer title is not something I've seen from the before.
>>736180027Why is it always gamerdads with this game?
>>736187960>breath of fresh air >run of the mill GAAS slop with shitty and clunky controls with hero shooter abilities slapped on in an attempt to chase trends that were dead 4 years ago>fresh extraction shooterGray Zone Warfare is a much more fresh take because of its PvE angle and yuge persistent map. Arc Raiders is a much more fresh take for actually segregating lobbies based on how much you get killed. This sloppa Marathon does nothing to innovate. Stale dead and boring, which is why nobody wants to play it.
The deathspiral is starting lmao
>>736185494No retard, Marathon was $250 to $300m at least because it had an average of 300 people working on it for 5 years in one of the most expensive cities in the US (Seattle). Concord was $400m for mostly the same reason.
>>736187086>the reset will save itu wotThe reset will probably kill it dead because most of the people left playing will just burn out and leave when they realize they have to re grind all of the same shit.
Stop fucking dooming.
>>736187724every generation there's a new war going on and people forget about the last generations' war.the 1980s had niggers, the 2000s had faggots, the 2020s now has trannies.by the 2040s they'll have necrophiliac dog fuckers or something.time marches forward.
>>736188761The game, and possibly bungie, and durandal willing, Sony itself is getting the Gift of Silence. It's a joyous celebration.
>>736188164Anyone who still has a undying loyalty to Bungie is a 30+ year old whos probably forcing his kid to like Halo 1
>>736173375How many flops of this magnitude does it take for big AAAA companies to overthink their current strategy?
>>736175134What the fuck is wrong with leftists wanting to be on the "right so of history" in every single facet of life?
My issue with Marathon is that it's just fucking boring after a while?Every encounter in every map plays the same. Just a bunch of bubble shit and meta classes and self revives. There's no tension when you meet other players because it immediately devolves into kill on sight shenanigans.Even Tarkov the most hardcore of the bunch had a ton of instances where I had the opportunity to talk, feel out, and interact with other players beyond shooting them.
>>736189003There is no number. It's corporate trend chasing and degenerate gambling because every dickhead with a MBA and a suit wants his company to have the next trendy game. Right now, the trend was live service FPS, but that seems to be dying. Ten years ago, it was Battle Royale. Twenty years ago it was MMORPGs. There's a graveyard stretching back to the start of vidya full of failed attempts to make 'the next big thing' and all that's changed is games now take 5+ years to make, so by the time the trend chaser games release, the trend already died.>>736189165Because it lets them avoid having to admit they were wrong or responsible for anything.
>>736180345It's better than Tarkov and Hunt, which are the two main poster children for extraction shooters. Hunt dumbed itself down so hard over the years I would even replace it with Arc at this point.
>>736189228unironically play rook soloits the only interesting playstyle left
>>736189165Fragile egos combined and lacking internal principles/lacking willingness to stand by principles when it's inconvenient. It is about how one is perceived by others and conforming, to avoid conflict with power.
Historians are laughing at you haters.
>>736173375It was just TOO good
>>736173375B-but we were having a blast...
>>736173375>live service game>have to wait six month between content dropsHuh?
>>736173375>>No new content for at least 5 monthsHoly shit HOW do you fuck up this badly?
>>736189165They have no real opinions and their entire worldview is predicated on whatever their school textbooks and teachers said was the right side of history vs wrong. They apply this to everything in life, with their greatest fear being potentially vilified by strangers in the future
>>736189480Each season is only three months, but if the content in the later ones is just like the first, that means maybe one map and one character and one gun every six months with cosmetics sprinkled in.
>>736173375Nice 3,6 bil investment you got there, Sony! Whats the ROI?Trick question - theres no return at all!
https://www.resetera.com/threads/gamespot-enjoy-marathon-now-before-sony-kills-it.1480087/If you want some REAL big laughs lmao
>>736173375>MarabrosBros? BROS?! Its ma'amthon sisters, chud!
>You're watching a youtube retrospective about a great game that was under appreciated on release: "Heh, I would never be one of THOSE people who hated it at the time, it's obviously a classic!"Reality Check: The Game is Marathon, the hater is you!
>>736189647Kind of elitist, aren't they?
>>736173375i will play marathon when:>it's free>it's pve>it runs on my laptop or gets added to geforce now>i can design my own character from scratch with big boobs
>>736189573Hey, they're bringing another map in 2 months which is... a night version of an already existing map
>>736173665I promise you solo is dogshit in this game past a certain season level where everyone in your lobby knows what’s up and is keyed in to audio and just ratting constantlySolo queue can legit take 5 mins sometimes now on na servers
>>736189165And the biggest punchline is that they often try to do so by being corpo shills. Clowns.
>>736189647Holy fuck i know /v/ has ironic shills but this thread is pure cope from people who actually play it
>>736188126I guess muddying the water is the objective. Make it seem like the game has strong support even if the grassroots opinions are critical, they astroturf the desired response from gamers. The shill keywords are the desired response and a window to the way they wished the game was responded to by gamers. They want gamers to think it’s a “peak” extraction shooter, with “great” or “solid” gunplay. They want you to be “hooked” and dreaming about marathon. They want to be considered as a game in which highly skilled PVP gamers show themselves as elite “cutting wheat from chaff” as one shill put it. They want to frame arc raiders as a game for weak casuals with no pvp skill as a strategy regularly. They want players to laude them for a “distinct” and “stellar” visual style. I think you made a great point that the shilling is all for naught because the game is rejected by those who try it. It doesn’t pass the ultimate test of just being a fun game. They are trying to use controversy to gain traction and looking to galvanize supporters with these shill posts. One shill discussed buying a skin to support Sony even though the skins are bad. They accept the skins are subpar to echo grassroots sentiment but plant a seed to buy it anyway to support the marathon cause. They literally are hoping you purchase crap just to support them.
people do realize that AAA games can flop right?Not only that but EVERY kind of game can flop.Indies flop, AA-games flop, and of course AAA-games flop.If it's any consolation, indie and AA games have a higher flop rate than AAA games.
>>736189647LOL
>>736178770That would be a terrible strategy considering it isn't free to play yet
I hope Marathon fails, gamers deserve nothing but scorn.
>>736180027>I'm a dadNot just any dad at that, but the father that stepped up!
>>736173375stop killing games would fix this
>>736190118It already failed bro
>>736180345>is nu-bungie just some queer icon to these people and they need to le own le chudsYes
>>736173375This game is lightning in a bottle.I trust the Bungee team wholeheartedly. If there’s one project nobody is worried will fail, it’s Marathon, I mean this has mainstream hit written all over it. There’s no way this will die, I could play this game all day.
>>736189381>at least a year of active supportDamn that's reassuring :D
>>736173375Meanwhile Crimson Desert (A SINGLE PLAYER GAME) is maintaining its numbers 2 weeks after release. Losing to a single player game is something else lmao
Anyone who thinks the videogames industry will learn or heal is fucking delusional.The whole entire industry is hits-driven.For every game that succeeds 100 other games crash and burn.Lot of survivorship bias going on here.
>>736189923It blows my mind that these people and companies will go to such efforts to try and sway public opinion instead of just making a good game. Like a single guy working on the 10k he saved up from his 9 to 5 is more capable of making an absolute banger than these massive 1k+ people corpos willing to dump near billions of dollars on absolute fucking dog shit. Like, just make a good game. What the fuck is wrong with you?
>>736175761what the fuck does that even mean
>>736181108Aye, noone forced them to make an entire series of concordlikes.
>>736189575It's funny how calling people they don't like "incels" got old so they now have to find synonymous for it
>>736174272That's what makes this article so disgusting and devious. The journo is saying buy it while it's available because it is so good it doesn't matter if you only get to play it for a month at $40.
>>736189764>the narrative was set before the game releasedThere it is AGAIN. The fucking "narrative".They are just mad that they aren't in control of the "narrative" anymore.So so mad.
>>736190558They are speedrunning incel faster than they did with nazi.
>>736189779>2 months>night event>one characterMeanwhile, Embark released 3 or 4 map events, 1 new map and a new arc (?) in that same period of time.
>>736189901>Holy fuck i know /v/ has ironic shills but this thread is pure cope from people who actually play itAnybody has the release thread of Concord? I bet there's some gold in there.
It is so odd how this became a political battleground even though there’s no real political or controversial topics in the game itself. Is the shadow of Concord just that large, that people seek to defend or criticize vaguely similar games in the same fashion just because the OG had those elements?
These people are so pretentious.
>>736191029So they are against SKG then? That doesn’t seem very progressive.
>>736189993>flopping is normal and expected, chuds!kek
>>736179542Was DSP also just pretending to jerk off on camera?
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO
Bungie lost this war months ago. Your people are broken, scattered, hunted, defeated... by me. I wish I could tell you it was difficult, but it wasn't. We are one step ahead, always. The general is already under our control. Soon, the game as well. The Warframe and the Halo fanbase share the same goal. We fight together to honor the will of Marty. But... without challenge I grow weary, lost, alone. But, here you now stand. This is my last fight. A true test of legend. Our story will outlive us both. SET A FIRE IN YOUR HEART GUARDIAN. BAAAAARE YOUR FANGS. FIGHT HARD. Die well.
>>736190381You know exactly what it means
>>736190924>hurrdurr why do you incel nazi chuds hate on maratroon! it's totally not woke!I see you post this garbage lie every thread bungie dev, you disingenious piece of shityou reap what you sow
>>736190558naw, "incels" has alot of staying power just like "tranny" does.
>>736191245If this wasn't Resetera, I'd assume posts like this were parody.
>>736191245Very kike-coded desu
I tried playing some matches with player fill after only playing solo for like 50 hours, it's not as infuriating as I expected it to be but it's shown me that despite losing a significant majority of fights in solos I'm somehow way better than the people it's teaming me with.
Where are the trannies in Marathon?Seriously, for all this witchhunt against the accusation that Marathon is harboring trannies, I can't find a single tranny in the game.
>>736173375Hopefully these liberal women will get owned as soon as possible
>>736191245
>le gunplay is great! >bungies gunplay is unmatched!Idk why but this term pisses me off. It feels like it was created as cope when Destiny was being shit on
>>736191264Holy fucking kek
>>736191186what exactly do you think the flop rate is for videogames in the videogame industry?no, seriously, what percentage of games do you think flop?
>>736190335Marathon lost to three singleplayer games, actually:>RE9>Slay the Spire 2>Crimson DesertAnd these were terrible, crushing losses, too.
>>736190924I'm just laughing. Doing nothing really.They are the ones doing hyper extreme mental gymnastics to defend this game. You should ask THEM why they do it.They do it literally every single time. It's not like they buy or play these games either. We see the player numbers. We know they all flop. They still feel compelled to defend them anyways.
>>736191528it is a cope. you cant even prone or lean. dogshit clunky ass game.
>>736190783Bungie is a small indie studio with a shoestring budget and only a handful of employees, please understand.
>>736191449the developers
>>736191264based
>>736191528>>736191568I LOVE BUNGIE GUNPLAY
>>736189647funny how they keep saying CCU doesnt matter but then turn around and are desperate to think of ways to get more players in
i'll be honest, i don't play videogames, hell i actually hate videogames.I just want to see America culture and by extension the American empire collapse.
>>736191449It seems pretty clear Bungie got told to cool it with the troonery, because when you look at Destiny 2, it's positively overflowing with it. My guess was it would just sneak into the game over time (especially since pride month is coming up right as the next Marathon season comes out), but with how fast the game is dying, there might not be enough time for it to get pozz'd.
>>736191245Normies need to read more posts like this.Show them how unhinged these people are.
>>736191598that's stupid, that's like saying games are woke because a nigger/faggot/autistic/muslim/women/canadian worked on a game and therefore the game is woke.whatever happened to judging a product just by itself?
>>736191528>Idk whyYou subconsciously know it's the super heavy autoaim.
>>736191619Is bungie gunplay just ADS with aim assist?
What's with the weird cult fanbase this game has
Hard to enjoy when they cut a shit ton of content out and are drip feeding it back in.I bought that shit day 1 because I thought the beta was nice if not a little buggy. Turns out it had like 90% of the content anyway, took a month for them to add in cryo and cryo is basically pointless.
>>736173375Is this an April Fool's joke?
I need to see actual shemale cock before i can declare something a tranny.
>>736191843>that's like saying games are woke because a nigger/faggot/autistic/muslim/women/canadian worked on a game and therefore the game is woke.lel, we do do that
>>736191548>what exactly do you think the flop rate is for videogames in the videogame industry?get wokego brokeit's close to 100%
>>736191674Because they are dishonest.I don't think they are able to actually say one single statement they actually unironically mean.
>>736191245I don’t get it? It’s a joke, it’s called hyperbole, hence “evangelizing” a game . ESL?
>>736191843>whatever happened to judging a product just by itself?Trannies were the ones throwing this mentality out a whole decade ago. They cancelled people just for their opinions.
>>736191548>>736191843samefaghope you're at least not shilling this garbage slop for free
>>736191867Bungie used to be a top tier developer.
>>736192134>hyperboleOh baby if only you knew.
>>736192134anon....
>>736182585Imma be honest. The old 90's video game magazine / cyberpunk aesthetic is the only reason I was ever interested in Marathon. Even before the beta dropped.
