>>736338028Bungie is a dead studio
https://arch.b4k.dev/v/search/subject/Marathon%2C%20the%20raped/
>>736338028Gameplay tastes being subjective, the art style is not for everyone, it's the weakest genre of multiplayer shooters, Arc Raiders ate Bungie's lunch, charging $40 for a f2p game when there are countless well established competitors, many people were already salty for previous Bungie fuck-ups, the plagiarism debacle before launch, the amount of content at launch is not enough to justify the cost, The 1st stage endgame filters out casuals, came out around the same time as Resident Evil and Crimson Desert which had way more hype, the market is generally more cautious of multiplayer games due to recent failures and the poor initial sales sealed this games fate.
>>736339174She got a fat payout, according to her, and is officially listed as a contractor for the game in the credits.All in all not a bad result for years old work getting stolen. A sack of cash and a new professional reference.Probably the only actual winner out of this whole thing.
>>736338028>Why did it flop?Arc Raiders: 40 developersMarathon: 400 developersMore developers = less soul, less developers = more soul.
>>736339416all me
>>736339452Its just hilarious the entire game was built off theft and it still took 6 years for no content
>>736338028HOW CAN SHE FLOP
>>736338173I love how you trannies have been coping with "it was niche" for weeks now as it became obvious to everyone you lost. It's a first person shooter anyone would have tried it if it wasn't dogshit.
>>736339492Damn you posted 2 threads hardcore
>>736338028Too expensive for what it has to offer. Also, it's only fun with friends but is not casual friendslop, which means it has a much narrower audience.

>>736339945you realize that is just some indian who hates the game trying to pretend to they like marathon to make the people who play the game look bad right
You can always tell it's the exact same two people desperately defending maraslop on here. Did bungie stop paying the other shills?

Well?
>>736340883The game is fucking bad and designed for faggots only
>>736340773I don't need to cause it doesn't matter to the actual point. If you want to play it then its easy to get access. It doesn't matter if there is a tiny hurdle thats easy to overcome with little effort. It will go the way of dota underlords and artifact
This guy >>736338028 has been posting these threads for a whole month. It’s some assblasted Bungie fanboy upset over Destiny 2 being left in the dust. These people think /v/ is their little fucking pedestal. Ban this guy man, this guy sits here 14 hours a day and posts this shit nonstop. Get rid of all these people from this website. It’s some white dude from the /vg/ general.
>>736340883womp womp lmao so sad the one concord fan wondering why concord 39 didn't "take off"
Hmm... I wonder what could've gone wrong
>>736340939when the troonathon blasthavers write fanfiction about the fact that nobody likes the game and everyone is laughing at them

>>736341040and we'll keep posting it because it's relevant to marathon
>Detective Tahnit on the case
>>736339627It’s definitely shit and made for lefty trannies. As much as I’m disappointed in marathon, arc raiders is an awful game that has even more problems. The only ok aspect of arc raiders is the aggression stat that’s overtuned.
>>736341040Gotta pump up those rookie numbers
>>736340784What the fuck am I looking at?>>736341072I don't give a fuck about Jessica's pronouns. Any fuckhead who lets something like the biotoxic disenjector go live deserves to not be running shit.
>>736341101The aesthetic is for nonbinaries and trannies, but the gameplay is repulsive to them. It seems to only appeal to the sweatiest of the sweats.
>>736338782Marathon has so much soul thoughhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWI57fjY7XEIt's a shame all /v/ cares about now are sales numbers. It become a corporate echochamber. We parrot Kotick's talk points. Diablo 3 is better than Ys because it sold better and we made more money and I get bigger benefits.
>>736341101>aggression statjust going to keep posting this retarded lie are you
>>736341134>I don't give a fuck about Jessica's pronounsHe was hired because of it, and that's one of the biggest reasons why the game is a piece of shit and a massive failure
>>736341175womp womp troon you lost
Unc game for unc faggots
>>736338782Arc nigs have perma inferiority complex over their game being fake extraction for gamer dads, it's so fucking funny
>random shitty extraction shooter from 2 years ago almost has population parity with a month old big budget BUNGIE titled gamebruh
>>736341376Shut the fuck up, chud. Notice trans visibility.
>>736341376That speaks poorly of gamers, not of Marathon
>>736340939This is my first time posting a thread about marathon lmao. Technically the second because the first got autoscrubbed for having a chart
>>736341428no quite the opposite troon stop blaming us for you groomers trying to force terrible shit on people
>>736341175What's kotick about it? The game's meta is misery, particularly at the higher levels.
>>736339751Wokeslop, game is about combat, yet over half of the characters are women.
it used to be fun talking shit about Marathon but now it's just sad. let the one month old dog rest
>>736341501fitting because bungie is going to old yeller it after this disastrous weekend
This game makes schizophrenic browns really upset
>>736338028>budget so high it could basically never make a profit>alienated their fanboys with shitty decisions during destiny 1/2>extraction shooter for some reason>clearly catered decision-making around appealing to sweaty streamers even though the big ones have dropped the game not even a month after releaseit's like they did everything wrong on purpose, is there nobody at bungie with even a hint of common sense?
>>736340939>literally begging jannies to help you Keeek
>>736341376>free to play trash garbage with mixed ratings has thurd worlderswow
>>736341501Fuck no. The usual suspects are proping it up for GOTY, and it's the lynchpin in Sony's live service push. It's more than fair game. >>736341579>is there nobody at bungie with even a hint of common sense?Not for at least a decade.
>>736338265Fuck you nyagger :3
>>736341428nah it means that the game just isn't a palatable product.people playing ARC are getting bored by lack of content and are branching out to other games in the genre if they can, to the point that they're checking out(in fairly large numbers) an older game that just got an update(note the game had a population of about 2k peaks before the update came out and it's been growing each day since). either bungie released a month too early and missed their audience by picking up a stigma of being a dead fucking gameORthe game is fucking dead because it's just not a game that actually resonates with the audience they were targeting.>>736341604>free to play?anon, it's currently $26.79 ON SALE with a normal price of $39.99https://store.steampowered.com/app/2479810/Gray_Zone_Warfare/
>>736338028Maybe the game wouldn't have sold so bad if the characters weren't such fuckin greasy big lipped NIGGERS
>>736339751>random game i've never even heard of>over 250k peak>marathon>less than 100k peak and already can't hit 50% of that peak dailygrim
Marathon already won. Stay seething chuds
Mods can you do me a favourCan you ban the guy, but keep the thread so we can see all the self replies to himself? Need the screencap to put these shills to rest on this board.
Will it even hit 40k on a holiday long weekend?
>>736341786How Indian are you to beg jannies for help on /v/ lmfao
>Reddit spacing begs mods to ban people that disagrees with xer
>>736341783Arc Raiders won and the competition wasn't even close. Even with Tarkov going to steam Arc Raiders mogged it.
>>736341746It was a free game that was anime inspired.99% of it's userbase were SEAmonkey gooners.
>>736341858>Arc Raiders wonSafest, blandest game of the year award (endgame soon trust me)
>>736341926>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THEY DON'T COUNT THEY WEREN'T TRANNIES LIKE MEEEEEEEEEEEno wonder the player base has been reduced by 41% every week
>>736341937In the extraction genre people are still playing it and the game gets sweaty in 3 man teams which has higher returns of loot and competitive gun fights due to end game. Yeah I think Arc Raiders won.
>>736340883enjoyed it for 10 hours, but by then i'd gotten used to the maps and getting stomped by kitted out squads for negative game progress just stopped being fun. when the game still had novelty, it was enjoyable whether i won or lost, but once that wears off and it turns into raids, in a best case scenario, getitng me 10% progress to some faction unlock for slightly more stamina, and worst case scenario making me lose my best gear, it's easy to start wondering why you're still playingthey really need some mechanism for progress even on failed runs, like a safety wallet for at least a little bit of loot that goes towards faction upgrades. without that, shitters are obviously going to get filtered and then the game becomes more frustrating for the players who were just slightly better than those shitters until they quit, and so on
>>736340247Why do people want the tiny bit of transparency that we have gone?
>>736341926marathon had that free weekend before release and even then it got what, 120K? so not really an excuse
>>736342106because they're shills
>>736342106Because people live in carefully crafted bubbles of reality and if you pop that bubble it inflicts physical pain on them. Mental illness is the default of everyone online including both of ua
>>736342080>uh no I'm a big grown man tooso adorable lol
Funny thing is not even f2p will save this shit. That already happened. 50% of people said "no thanks" after server slam (f2p weekend) and continue saying that week over week.
>>736342398yepf2p cant save it, sales cant save it, ugly ass skins cant save iteveryone who wants to play is already playing it, and they're getting to the point where they are done with the small amount of content bungie decided to launch this with so they're dropping it too. not even the dads of marathon are playing anymore. its fucking over
>>73634239888k launch to 35k Fridays a month in is gg no re
>>736340247>literally "STEAM NUMBERS ARE ONLY GOOD WHEN THEY BENEFIT MY CAUSE" looooool
>>736342558>>736342398It's far worse than that. The big cryo archive prize is a gun that lets you shit on everyone else with practically no risk or effort. It's hilariously unbalanced.

>>736344014Bungie have had an odd hard on for making unbelievably annoying bullshit especially involving PvP for a long ass time. Marathon is basically all their worst tendencies as a developer metastasized into a complete disaster.

>>736344750They may not have realized why wow was such a revolutionary idea in a time where mmos were really hardcore like die lose half your xp bar or lose everything but 3 of your items Having to corpse walk and pay a couple silver in repair costs was considered easy by other mmo players at the time and that was a big reason for wows initial success
>>736339510Anon. Go look at Tarkov's numbers.
I'm enjoying it. I've never played extraction shooters before, they play more like STALKER than I expected, I generally expected to be constantly exfil camped / walled and have fights where better gear always wins (it certainly has an advantage but less than expected)What's the best one? Not interested in Arc raiders as that seems too cooperative, don't want to second guess being murdered 15 mins into a match. Only true PvE or PvPvE. I'm enjoying Marathon but cant imagine it's getting past June at this point.
2040: The chuds? Oh, sure, I remember them. They lost a long, long time ago..
>>736345649Hunt Showdown is probably your best bet if you consider it an extraction shooter. The rest of the available options are garbage with armor penetration levels and similar anti-fun bullshit.Beautiful Light may be good, if it ever comes out.
>>736338028TWO MORE WEEKS and it definitely will be some Concord 2 type super flopTrust the plan,Q
>>736346442Kek
>>736345515Tarkov has had a standalone client longer than it has been on Steam, you fool.
Remember when destinyfags thought their shit was the best and shit on warframe for being a mediocre rip off of destiny but now destiny is dead, bungie is about to die, and warframe has FAT JIGGLY ASS AND TITS
>>736346518Multiply it by 4 to give yourself an overestimate.
>>736346442>duhhhhrrr Sony gave Marathon a bunch of preemptive runway to avoid another PR disaster like Concord>bet you chuds feel so stupid now, huh?>j-just... don't look at the player counts week-by-week... please
>>736346632You lost
>>736338705Only if they are good at PvP. I'm not, so I did a solo contract run yesterday where I actively avoided combat the whole run, except for shooting down a drone once. Tried to do it in trios, but we kept getting killed.
Cute.
>>736341134that's a mentally ill faggot, not "jessica", LOL!
They're not jammin enough
>>736339174>a woman
As someone who loves ugly colours and technology themes I'm genuinely impressed how they made something so ugly and repulsive that even I can't stand it.
>>736340939>from the VGThere is no more VG.The fag that opd the threads just gave up.This game is dead, its players gone.
>>736339491I disagree. Marathon's art direction is divisive, but Arc Raiders is just ugly on purpose. There isn't a single character design in that game that I like, except for the robots (and to be fair, the junkyard chic of the survivors is a nice contrast to the sleek robots). Marathon also has superior OST.
>>736346998What, you don't like Star Wars in jumpsuits and velcro?
>>736338028While not a sizable playerbase, Arc raiders works on Linux, Marathon does not. Winfren wanted us to try Marathon but we cannot thanks to its anti cheat.
>>736338028Character make me want to gauge my eyes out.Artstyle is modern (picrel), it is made for women by women. Women don't play games.Combat just looked kind of dead inside.When I watched shroud play there was not nearly as much communication as in arc (maybe less strategic choices to talk about).No entertainment by yelling slurs at people in voice?
>>736342091>they really need some mechanism for progress even on failed runsAlready a thing. Most quests don't require you to extract, and you still get XP even if you die. Really, the purpose of extraction is only:>Keeping the items in your inventory>Getting bonus CyAc XP for extracting>Converting faction valuables into associated faction XP>Converting key templates into actual keysThe only way I can see this get pushed further if they add a safe pocket system.
