"Marathon is gonna be Game of the Year," actor Ben Starr says, because it has Elden Ring, Baldur's Gate 3, and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 award magnet Jennifer English
>>
I'd like to make jennifer my english if you know what I am saying.
>>
Shadowheart won, sorry frog freaks
>>
>>736324101
It's funny that the internet managed to meme the Jennifer English = good game idea so successfully major studios fell for it.
>>
somehow, I don't think Ben Starr knows a right lot about videogames.
>>
Nah, even though I do like Marathons music and art design as a game itself it just doesn't have that much a draw to it
I actually don't know what they can do to actually make it attract more people

make it more like marathon

She does have a nice voice but I don't know why anyone would think voice actors are any indication to a games quality.
Videogames isn't hollywood

neon vomit shooter i don't think so

The context of winning awards for acting in video games matters in a discussion about winning awards for acting in video games, yes.
>>
>>736324101
>If we give ourselves an award via our members only award club the dumb proles will buy product
Yeah? How's that been working out for the other award shows?
>>
>>736325131
No, you moron.

>>736324101
shes a terrible voice actor with no range

If any of you anons genuinely don’t understand this is a joke, then I’m sorry, but the retardation is terminal.

It's crazy to me that this game is like a sequel or something. The mindset that went into making that game in your screenshot is completely different. It might as well be from Mars at this point in the industry lifetime.
>>
>>736325757
Well, it is 30 years away from the originals
The stories underneath are pretty in-line though, at least from what little we know for now
>>
>>736324101
......do these people think the only games she has voice acted in are GOTY winners?
>>
>>736325334
Wellll....It's a joke until Marathon actually wins the GOTY
>>
>>736324646
More maps and enemies would be a good start, fucking sick of Dire Marsh and UESC
>>
>>736325953
The joke is thinking Marathon will make it to the end of the year.

>>736326027
Buckle up anon, because I think the only content you have to look forward to for the next six months is a night time version of the Dire Marsh map.
>>
>>736324101
do voice actors really think they are some kind of celebrities and faces of the game? shear fucking hubris
>>
>>736324338
Jennifer English is the Johnny Yong Bosch of WRPGs

hello fellow blast havers

"Marathon is gonna be Game of the Year," actor Ben Starr says, because it has Elden Ring, Baldur's Gate 3, and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 award magnet Jennifer English
>>
>>736327758
Yes? It's the whole reason they keep trying to go on strike and continually demand insane royalty cuts from game revenue that routinely get laughed down by publishers. They think they're on par with Hollywood actors.
>>
I love the game, but Jennifer English is literally in 2 voiced codex entries about one of the colonies' AI calming people down who come out of cryo.

Ben's the actual star of the game here.
>>
>Shroud wont.play Marathon anymore until Season 2
>says PvP is the worst part of the game

LMAOOOOOOO
>>
>>736330018
what else is there to do other than pvp?! the bots are a joke, they're only a threat if you get sandwiched between players and them, or if it's giga bullet sponge commanders of hell and you're not prepared for it
>>
>>736324101
It already is Multiplayer of the Year, easily, now… GOTY? Maybe, i can see it causing an absolute shitstorm with ragebait culture.
>>
Ben Starr probably hasn't played a single video game in his life, so why would anyone give a shit about what he has to say?
Keep doing your 1 voice, Big Ben
>>
>>736330107
Unironically the UESC is more fun than dogshit sniper/shotgun/bubble meta class spam.
>>
>>736324101
so... what Marathon competes with Ex Voto?
>>
>>736324961
>Doom but with insects
No, NuMarathon absolutely moggs OG
>>
The game is really good right, but why did Sony and Bungie but so much into this game? It's the most niche, hardcore experience I've ever gone through, and it's like what did they expect? Fortnite numbers?
>>
>>736330238
the frog that directed E33 said Ben's favourite Final Fantasy was 8 (same as his) so he played at least some games
>>
>>736324101
The same woke whore that went on her muh lgbt rant? How is that bowlcut knights game doing that she took part in? Oh yeah it was doa
>>
>>736324101
Who is this faggot and why should I care about his opinion?
>>
>barely breaking 30k on a friday night
loooooooool
>>
>>736330367
/v/ likes to pretend Sony was expecting Fortnite numbers, but in reality, Sony knew how niche the genre was, hell, Arc Raiders wasn’t even around when they acquired Bungie and greenlit the project.
>>
Why is it so fucking important to glaze this live service game that has less concurrent players than current popular single player games?
>>
>>736330715
because bungie paid them
>>
so is marathon just an extraction shooter or is there some sort of story component in it as well
>>
>>736330591
snoy had eight fucking Lve service shooter in planning last year, they are simply throwing gaas at the wall and see what sticks
It all does, mostly to their face
>>
Every good game has miscellaneous voices done by Yuri Lowenthal
>>
>>736330831
It is an extraction shooter that has a story hidden underneath, just like the older games. You can ignore it or try to piece together what's been happening from various bits of text, audio logs, monologues from the faction reps, but it's pretty vague and requires assumptions and interpretations of different (and sometimes unreliable) narrators.

>>
>>736330831
The game has story quests you're trying to complete during runs, as well as trying to extract codex entries.

The ACTUAL point of the game is to be playing space detective, figuring out what happened on this lost space colony.

Because Sony bought Bungie for 3.6 billion dollarydoos and they got the corpse of Destiny and Marathon for it and that's it

>Muh incubation projects
Most of them were cancelled because they were lies created by Pete Parsons to get more money from a potential buyout before he finally jumped ship and if the character design for the Gummibears project I saw was real, it's going to be another Concord

>Critics have decided
Why did people give game journos as voice? These people are worthless
>>
>>736324868
voice acting is a glorified let's play
>>
>>736330367
I don't think they intended to put all that money into Marathon, I think Sony put money into Bungie for Destiny and a multitude of other games and then Bungie intended for Marathon to be out sooner but every time they brought people in for a test the feedback was awful
>>
>>736331073
>>736331145
okay that sounds a bit fun, i'll buy on sale
>>
>>736324101
Hope she sees this ben
>>
>>736331293
Yeah but at least here they give you some shit you'll actually use like a gun and a backpack instead of a two slot trinket and a skin that's identical to the base one but with a mole on one asscheek
>>
>>736324101
This is like saying tapeworms are good because they keep you thin.
>>
>>736324101
All these people acting like marathon is actually a great game all along are all shills.
>>
>>736324338
>>736327802
so shes the Eminem of British Voice Actors?

>>736324101
I'm positive ben is joking but journos and schizos are going to think he's dead serious
