>>736551080yabba dabba doo!
>>736551080womp womp
Imagine if Bungie says they’re going to ban all the cheaters and that snaps away 90% of the remaining blast havers.
>>736551139>invasive anticheatYou'd think there'd be no cheaters in such a game because nobody would want to play it at all
.....
>>736551602Holy jewish games
>>736551602>tfw astrobot is probably the least tainted of these franchises
>>736550860Maybe seperate PC users from console users so at least consoles can get a good experience.
>>736550860Bungie should just refund everyone's money and fuck off honestly. Kill the game and save themselves a little bit of pride
>>736551080It's amazing how much Maratroon discourse is just them pretending not to understand things, thus making discourse impossible
>>736551971Wait for the season 2 chud
>>736551938>Console usersYeah I’m sure that would help all 12 of them
>>736550860How is that possible when no one's playing it?
What went wrong?
>>736552030Is that going to have half the players?
>>736550860What's the complaint, that people are enjoying the game?
>>736552081I see 8 thousand players almost
>>736552243you're not funny
>>736552295And how many are cheaters?
>>736551080He's not wrong. In all my years playing multiplayer shooters the vast majority of people crying about cheaters is just them getting outskilled. Paul Tassi is just a buck broken Destinyfag playing both sides for profit. He doesn't even play the fucking game so he needs random Twitter and Reddit posts as his sources lol.
>>736552428You're retarded if you think cheating isn’t a problem in marathon
>>736552428I can assure you as someone who actually plays this game, there are blatant cheaters some of which will just tell you over voip that they are doing so.
>>736552529I frequently wipe outpost and cryo and I'm pretty certain I haven't encountered a single cheater. The games actually pretty solid on a technical level as far as modern shooters go. High tick rate servers, decent netcode and most shit is server authorative and fog of wared to make ESP less effective. Obviously you won't ever be able to stop cheaters completely but pretending there's more cheaters in this game compared to other games is just false.
>>736552705>high tick rate servers>fog of war to make ESP less effectiveyou have to be fucking taking the piss man
>>736550860The same thing happened with New World. Literally all of the legitimate players left, leaving only bots and cheaters behind.
>>736552382
>>73655290360hz servers are shit compared to Valorant and unofficial CS servers but still better than basically other shooter out right now. Apex Legends has 20hz servers and people pretend thats a competitive game.
>>736550881>Gay Zone WarfareLiterally who?This is the first time ever I've heard of it.
>>736550860All online games (focusing on pvp) are infested with cheaters. With DMA cheats, we will never really get rid of cheaters.
>>736552696>voipunc... it's called a mic now
>shaving off 6k players from the population every week>progression is ridiculously grindy, people with 300+ hours still trying to do the last unlocks It’s done
>>736552428>>736552705most cheaters nowadays aren't spinbotting or hard locking onto anyone. that gets you caught very quickly and doesn't earn you whatever e-izzat they're after. its usually someone with 30 dollars in cheat subscriptions who cheats just a tiny smidgen so he can see you through walls and apply a 10% aim assist. since they "subtle cheat" and still suck most of the time, almost no one really notices it, and even if they do, there is no hard proof. anti-cheat can't really keep up, especially if it's just an ESP.the whole subtle cheater epidemic is a more recent development. i think it's mainly due to increased number of the mentally ill or third worlders with different ideas of sportsmanship. they don't do it to ragebait, they use cheats as like an additional "fair" advantage the same way you would upgrade your monitor to get more refresh rate. cheaters will now work extra hard to seem legit, like they will wallhack to see you through walls and then pretend to pie the corner anyway. or they will damage you but deliberately NOT kill you in order to prevent you from getting a killcam and seeing their obvious aimlock.but as i said earlier, they all still generally suck at the game. i only really notice cheating from the way people play, not their performance. like some players have terrible positioning for a specific rank but godlike aim, or they keep prefiring at me when i am about to peek a corner and so on. i don't really think there is an easy way to beat cheating, but you can probably cull like 90% of it by instituting very harsh region lock measures. overwatch 2 specifically is basically unplayable to me because i am geographically close to st petersburg so the game keeps matching me with those guys

>>736555004This. Bungieniggers are too cheap to buy basic anti cheat.

>>736551550Blizzard doesn't touch bots because bots pay sub fees

>>736550860>Guy who doesn't play the game tells us how many cheaters it hasLol paul tassi is malding again
>>736550860isnt he supposed to be the Marathon shill guy? why is he doomposting now?
>>736551602How did Until Dawn make it on that list?
>>736553286It's been in early access for a couple years now, as you can see on the graph it's been turbo dead ever since it launched. But apparently it had a good update recently and it took off somehow. Goes to show that all the industry shills in the world can't beat solid word of mouth.
>>736554583Where does he say that he played it?
>>736556193>But apparently it had a good update recently and it took off somehow. Goes to show that all the industry shills in the world can't beat solid word of mouth.Is that why it has absymal user reviews and is rated lower than Marathon (so is Arc Raiders btw)?
>>736550860never met a single cheater
>>736550860>nowhttps://x.com/0x74e/status/2031898589090165101Just now?
>>736556362ok but i have, so your antidote evidense doesn't matter
>>736551080He is correct.that guy didn't write an article about the game and cheaters. It's on Paul Tassi to provide solid evidence that there's a cheater infestation.But Paul Tassi is a buckbroken Destinyfag and just wants to put out hitpieces against Marathon
>>736554646wow it’s almost as if this game uses the same engine as Destiny and has the same problems
Well yeah, it's a PC game and PCmutts can't help but cheat. It's just the way of turd worlders.
>>736556338>*Marathon shuts down*>"at least people liked our game"
>>736556548Meanwhile Snoys are buying adapters to use MKB on PS
>>736556381People were in denial because Bungie made a big announcement about how there's a zero tolerance regarding cheaters and "dedicated servers" making cheating impossible. It's much harder to huff copium now that nothing is happening and cheaters ingame openly admit to cheating because there's no consequences
>>736556597
>>736556762You're the one the conflated word of mouth with Steam upvotes
>>736556703Novody ever claimed or expected that Marathon would be cheater free.Anticheat is a measure, every measure can be bypassed and broken.It's extremely rare to find cheaters
>>736555986With as few players as the game seems to have, couldn't Bungie just review and ban cheaters individually? Might get them some goodwill, lol
>>736556849>ACTUALLY Steam reviews don't count because I would need to actually have played the game to leave oneAHAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
>>736556960Fucking kill yourself piece of shit tranny faggot
>>736556061Tassi did play it, DVR Marathon shillbro. I think he hit a point at Cryo where he realized he had gotten too far behind the power curve and decided to put the game down until the reset.
>>736556960How are they supposed to prove that people liked your game if all your players drop it?
>>736550860bungie are a joke, rest in piss
>>736557172>Tassi did play itFor a very small time. Not nearly enough to encounter a cheater. Nor it is proper journalism to take some reddit post and claim a game has a "cheater infestation" because it is proved to be untrue for anyone that actually played I sizeable time. I'm a rank 1 Gold btw
Name 1 (one) online game that does not have cheaters.
>40k glowing reviews>28k peak Guess all the blast havers blasted off
>>736556960Kek
>>736554630Genuine question what's wrong with playing the game for a month hell even for just a week? Do you have 10k hours in every single game you played?
>>736553592This shit happens in most popular shooters these days; it's extremely annoying.I cannot believe that every other lobby is full of CoD league players with intense snaps and nearly perfect, aim assist like aim.'Aim culture' hasn't helped it either, as it has really just poisoned the well. They will go out of their way to defend cheaters because of 'snaps' or whatever.
>>73655734310 day trip around the moon, back soon, toilets clogged though, will be a messy re entry
>>736557327I literally can’t. even network manipulation is a form of cheating and that’s everywhere especially smash
>>736557327Concord
>>736556960NOOOOOOOOOOO BUT I MADE 12 DIFFERENT ACCOUNTS TO SPAM 0 ON METACRITIC
>yeah I play hardcore full loot pvp games for the high skill cap!>literally the highest ratio of cheaters of any genrereally makes you think.
>>736557282>for a very small timeI think he probably hit the 40-50 hour mark. And what difference does it make if he personally encounters a cheater vs. watching a stream or Youtube video of someone cheating and showing off their hacks? And I've seen a steady increase in posts on Steam forum for Marathon about cheaters getting worse and worse as the population thins out. Marathon uses the Destiny engine, and Destiny had a bad cheating problem in its competitive PVP modes. It's unreasonable to think those same cheat makers couldn't flip a few values around and port their hacks to Marathon.>>736557441Concord isn't online anymore. I still laughed, tho
>>736557449I know and Crimson Desert still mogged
>>736556849>B-but the word of mouth of people who didn't play the game
>>736550881SONY PICK THIS MULTI-BILLION STUDIO UP RIGHT NOW
>>736557327Online gaming as a whole became unbearable for me around the time PUBG was popping off
>>736550860correct, after 447 hours i stopped playing yesterday and went back to deadlock. being forced to play on the singapore server with all the chinese cheaters is gayer than aids.not having solos ready for cryo and ranked was another retarded decision. the april 14 mid-season update will come too late for most people that were actually enjoying the game.last bungie game i played was halo on the original xbox, i can now see why all the destiny fags grew to hate bungie.
>>736555421April 20th
>>736557587Players telling other people that the update was good increased the numbers >>736550881Or do you think that was achieved by every player turning their downvote into an upvote?
>>736557282>I'm a rank 1 GoldNo shit you don't see any
>>736557716just think, right now is the best state the game will ever be in.
>>736550860posting Paul "somehow worse than IGN itself" Tassi should be an instant permaban
>>736557550>I think he probably hit the 40-50 hour mark.So a small time>And what difference does it make if he personally encounters a cheater vs. watching a stream or Youtube video of someone cheating and showing off their hacks? The difference is that there's no basis to claim Marathon has a cheater infestation or anymore cheating than any other game.It's more asinine and disingenuous dogpiling with undocumented claims.I have encountered 2 cases of possible cheating in 300 hours, one of which was actually banned with my report, and a /vg/ tard that admitted using cheats was also banned with a screenshot of it, so clearly there's no uncontested cheating epidemic nor Bungie is completely passive about it
>>736550860why would forbes infest it with cheaters? what do they get to gain?
>>736557804The update was so good, the game is rated "Mostly positive" and dropped in rating from sales newbies
>>736557393desu i rarely consider crazy 180 degree snap headshots to be cheating, because you have to have a degree of awareness to even conceive such a feat. i pull off those kinds of kills weekly so i don't consider it too suspicious. and i think if you're literally just pressing m1 randomly and letting your aimbot flick for you, you will get caught pretty much instantlyreally what gives "subtle" aimbot away is the fact that the people that use it often seem just very slow in the head. like they don't react very fast, their movement is crap, but then they track you weirdly smoothly (light aim assist) or they shoot without a clear intent or pattern (triggerbot). it's like watching a grampa play with a controller. fighting controller players in Apex Legends basically feels the same as fighting bad mnk cheaters
>>736557846I'm inclined to believe the growing amount of anecdotal evidence of the cheater problem getting worse and worse than your opinion as one of the only true blue Marathon shills who posts on /v/. You've got more credibility than that lolcow Tahnit, but not that much.
>>736557969>I'm inclined to believe the growing amount of anecdotal evidence of the cheater problem getting worse and worse
Might as well do a monthly reset if you want to keep everybody hamster wheeling. No lifers will stomp every single time past the first like two weeks of fresh.
>>736557929it’s not enough to look at the flight path of the reticle but you also need to look at the velocity from start to finish. there are just some markers that aren’t replicated by humans
The real problem is that the core game design is broken and the player count is too low. Now any new players are saying refund after being thrown into a den of sweats
The fact that 99% of cases every time you get into a fight enemy team just freezes in spot and you can easily flank them without them realizing makes me think that there's barely any cheaters.
>>736558124ironically the best way to find cheaters in these games is to be a cheater yourself and basically check if people keep staring at you through walls and shit. basically the tarkov cheater handshake
>>736558080Everything in the game is designed around top 1% players, everyone else gets shat on and quits the game in a few days.
Aztecross, the single biggest Marathon streamer and part-time Bungie shill, says Marathon has a cheater problem. The game is completely fucked and will die before the end of the year.
>>736558231I thought it was the Wobble?
>>736558359lmao yea i guess i wasnt sure what to call it. i only saw the video of people doing it
>>736558019Go to the official forums and do a search for 'cheat' and you'll see a slow but steady increase in posts talking about it. And it's getting brought up more often on the Marathon reddit, but the mods seem to ban and close those threads for wrongthink.What's probably happening is less that there's a big influx of new cheaters, but instead the existing cheaters are getting noticed more often as people keep leaving. Like a body of water that's getting lower and lower and showing how much more crap was on the bottom than people swimming in the water ever realized.
>>736558304>AztecrossI could've sworn I saw an anon post a pic of him saying he quit Marathon and was going to Arc or CD or some other game.
>>736558492deadlock and back to destiny 2.

>>736558754>Uh premades win over my team it's unfairPlay better
>>736556338Marathon's reviews are botted, majority of its reviews came up during the first 3 days with barely any playtime and the number hasn't increased since.
>>736558613You know what, I'm sure between Tassi, Reddit, Steam, and cheaters posting clips on Twitch and Youtube, it was all a collective hallucination and cheating actually isn't a problem in Marathon. Even though Destiny 2 had a cheater problem itself and Marathon uses the same engine, I'm sure it's just simply not happening. lmao>>736558869Destiny 2 I can buy cheaters getting ignored because the population was probably pretty big when that was happening. Marathon is struggling to get to 30k peaks right now, so how hard could it be for one guy in Bungie to glance at the handful of streamers still playing and just ban cheaters he notices?
Dads of marathon bros....Are we gonna take this lying down?
>>736558754
>>736554282That's the joke.

>>736553592Oh, it gets better, or I suppose worse. We're also seeing people get the PVE mode they wanted by using ESP and then just avoiding everyone. >i don't really think there is an easy way to beat cheating,Making it less attractive and reducing the impact it has on other players is the way to go. But Marthon's core design is 100 percent in the opposite direction. High stakes, almost forced fights. Low TTK so it's harder to notice lock on vs lucky shot. Emphasis on intel so even the lightest ESP is a huge advantage. Prox chat so you can verbally teabag people.

>>736554646Yes, the cheaters from destiny tried it during the playtest and said that all their cheats works exactly the same lol And no, kernel level anti cheat does NOTHING at all to them because they operate above kernel level lol
>>736554646lol the shitty stick figures kind of fit the aesthetics
>>736556190Sony is a movie company. They saw it, loved it, and though they could turn it into a franchise or their own telltale games. As an idea, it's far less stupid than much of the shit they've done. >>736556338They launched early and were building it in open alpha. They also have, pretty much zero marketing.
>>736554646I don't usually support cheaters, unless they play a game that's shit, so based.
>>736555934Nta, but not really. AR has got some weird 80s concoction going on, but at least it looks nice (inb4 ugly characters). Marathon is just blaring prime colours on surfaces and lightning all over. How tf they went from pic rel to w95's Ms paint bucket tool is beyond my comprehension.
>>736556450>>736557282You're correct in that the burden is on Tassi, but lets be serious here on the cheating situation.>Not nearly enough to encounter a cheater.Prove this claim. >I'm a rank 1 Gold btwI don't think you can tell a disenjector from your own dildos.>>736557389Nothing. If you enjoy it. Do it. But this game really doesn't favor just pick up and play casually for a few hours a week .
>>736559861>>I'm a rank 1 Gold btw >I don't think you can tell a disenjector from your own dildos. What's your rank?
>>736558871They're agreeing faster that they can get banned or deleted It's beyond over.>>736558957Destiny is also mostly pve, and less focus on defeating everyone in the server.
>>736558957>I'm sure between Tassi, Reddit, Steam, and cheaters posting clips on Twitch and Youtube, it was all a collective hallucination and cheating actually isn't a problem in Marathon.Now if we got to actually hear the opinion of someone who actually plays the game it would be great
>>736559267Most definietly. Concord, Marathon and FairgameZ are all Sony. Concord was made up of ex bungie people to begin with, and all 3 used quite a few sony friendly support studios. And I'd throw in the new Horizon game as well for the quadfecta.
>>736559267Timr Takers is Korean isn't it? Probably no overlap
>>736558754>all comments in agreementDamn that's bleak.
>>736559818>but at least it looks niceAfter actually playing the game, I do sort of agree. At least for the environments. But from the material I've seen before, it was extremely unappealing to me.>(inb4 ugly characters)Why is this not a valid complaint? The player cosmetics and NPCs all look bad. Junkyard chic. At least the robots look nice. But I suppose that contrast is the point.>Marathon is just blaring prime colours on surfacesI wouldn't say so. Neutral colors are used often in the environments (especially in the natural-manmade interface areas), and neighboring bright colors usually complement each other. The only dubious designs to me are, again, character designs (especially Triage, the bald nigger shell). And many of the paid cosmetics are worse than the free ones.>and lightning all overYou mean "lighting"? There are many dark areas, especially in Outpost and Cryo archive.
>>736558754>Reddit is getting filtered by the game>/v/ got filtered by the game

>>736560132>hear the opinion of someone who actually plays the gameAnon, if you're expecting someone to record and post webms in this thread like you autistically do, you're going to be disappointed.
>>736560667>I-i totally play the gameLol
>>736560329What's this, a civilised discussion?! At least let me call you a fagget.Yes, lighting, phone posting with autocorrect. I can't genuinely speak for marathon since I haven't bothered to buy it, just judging it from the gameplay videos I've looked up before deciding. All I remember from one indoor fight was this eyesore purple lit room and the basic color palette and blocky shapes for ui and items. I don't feel bad for dropping a game due to its artstyle - same reason I won't touch the likes of no man's sky or fortnite, no matter how much content they throw at it.
>>736550881>gray zone warfareyou'd think this game would PvEvP based on its name but apparently it's just PvE
>>736558754>Yea it’s super sad bc the game itself and the world building is amazing. I just struggle to enjoy a game that will always give the guys with no jobs or responsibilities to dominate all day.Even when they're agreeing that the game is bad and dying they have to make sure to glaze it just a little bit more. What causes people to act like this?
>>736561480Anon confronted by a measured opinion that acknowledges good and bad in something shocked that anyone can not be a reactionary that either hates game or sucks off corporate dick
>>736560723I don't play the game myself. I'm saying you need to stop being a retard and ignoring the growing body of posts and comments saying 'cheating is getting worse' because 'Well I've never seen it' is as retarded as saying 'Well, I've never been murdered, so murders aren't increasing in my city!'
>>7365523919001
>>736561925Bungie could give the raw assets to another company, but nobody knows how to use the Destiny engine except for them, so it would still be a huge amount of work for any other studio to make a game that looks like Marathon.
>>736558991>Imagine if you will a community where every other post is someone crying or saying it's the end.You get used to it
>>736561450>All I remember from one indoor fight was this eyesore purple lit roomI remember there being a purple lit room, but I don't remember where. Some indoor areas have colored lighting, like the pure red lights in the tunnels under AI uplink. But most of the areas on all maps have non-colored lighting.>I don't feel bad for dropping a game due to its artstyle - same reason I won't touch the likes of no man's sky or fortnite, no matter how much content they throw at it.No one owes any game a purchase. But, personally, I also liked NMS.
>>736561634He's literally saying that he struggles to even enjoy the game and yet still somehow thinks it's absolutely amazing. It's not a measured opinion it's someone performing mental gymnastics to convince themselves that they like a game that they don't even think is fun. Sure parts of the game may be good, but if you dislike a core part of it (the pvp) to the point that you can't enjoy the game why still pretend like it's good?
>>736561925Who the fuck would want their game to look like this? Fucking trannies I swear
>>736557929True, but I would argue those are easy to spot as well.Then you have slide-cancelling dudes who are able to jump around the corner into a crouch, slide-cancel, and keep their aim perfectly tracking you as soon as they get you in their sights.It looks 'high-level', but I'm always suspicious of the people who are moving around so spastically, yet when it comes time to keep that reticle on you, it never breaks away for a single shot. Doesn't matter what kind of movement you're doing yourself; once it's on, it's on. I see this kind of shit all the time in CoD and it always makes me raise my eyebrow.And if you're a streamer or have TTV in your name, I think it removes all doubt. Before, cheating was just like a personal thing that scummy people might do because they have low self-esteem. Now, they have a real justification behind doing it because they will argue they must in order to pay their bills (keep their stream looking good, winning tournaments, whatever). So people who lie and cheat at their jobs would just lie and cheat at a game because now losers try to make those jobs. The two kind of go hand-in-hand, unfortunately.
>>736550860Cheaterfag here. I use DMA and can cheat on Marathon all I want. Their only real anticheat is that the game is garbage so I dont want to spend time on it
>>736561925Its insane how obsessed people are with turning this game into something that appeals to them personally. Yes this game went too niche for its budget but that doesnt make it a bad fucking game. But I guess in 2026 the average gamer just expects every game to be a kitchen sink game.
>>736559530>I don't know where these people get that shit fromfrom their president
Ban Paul Tassi threads
>>736561925The absolute state of /v/, being shitters just as much as Eratrannies lol
>>736562601He won Marathon lost
>>736562467>Its insane how obsessed people are with turning this game into something that appeals to them personally.Not really. Everyone wants any given game to be more like something they like (or something they think they'd like). And if most of a given game's audience wishes for the same changes, then this is a game design flaw.
>>736562467>this game went too niche for its budget but that doesnt make it a bad fucking gameCorrect. What makes it a bad game is that it's made by those thieving shitbags at bungle.
>>736551080>I DIDN'T PERSONALLY ENCOUNTER; THEREFORE, IT ISN'T TRUE!!>I wasn't personally raped or mugged by a migrant in my gated community; therefore, the raping and mugging migrant allegations aren't true!Why do libtrannies speak this way and use such reductionist logic and language??
>>736556026Didn't used to.Halo 2 didn't have any cheaters - or it was extremely rare.
>>736550860
>>736552428>crying about cheaters is just them getting outskilledI've found myself playing multiplayer shooters where I've seen kill cams with movements that don't look natural, most of the time the matchmaking is fucking garbage and pairs a team of noobs against a team of 5000 hours no lifers, but personally I've found situtations where people have one shoted me with a shotgun in less than a second from seeing me, that's just impossible reaction times unless you're using an aimbot that presses the trigger upon locking in.
>>736550860not a problem in nortubel
>>736562467>Yes this game went too niche for its budget but that doesnt make it a bad fucking game.Yeah, what makes it bad is resurrecting a decades old singleplayer fps ip and turning it into fotm extraction slop. Extraction may be the worst fotm genre the industry has ever seen desu
>>736562902People on here, and from the 'aim community', will desperately try to convince you that you are terrible. But I think it's far more likely that I'm playing against asian and brown cheaters than every other lobby has a player who's reactions times and aiming abilities are world-class level.
>>736562930If only it was FOTM. Tarkov is now a decade old and devs somehow still haven't figured out that the average Joe hates extraction shooters
>>736562673>And if most of a given game's audience wishes for the same changes, then this is a game design flaw.Thats not the case with Marathon. These people demand a 40 dollar PvP game to be turned into a coop PvE game with a fully fledged singleplayer campaign. Because in their eyes a PvP game can never be good. If those people would get their way we'd just end up with Destiny 3 (which is probably where all the seething comes from.) And its not this games fault for that not being a thing yet.>>736562930I personally like both the extraction genre being a Tarkov and Hunt Showdown Unc and the Marathon IP so I really like this game overall. But I understand that the overlap between these groups is comically tiny. I would prefer if they'd refine the current formula to make it less punishing for noobs but at this point a relaunch with a pivot into another direction is more likely.
>>736551938>cucksoles>good experienceayyy lmaooo, cucksoles are painful before you even turn them on.
>>736563313>These people demand a 40 dollar PvP game to be turned into a coop PvE game with a fully fledged singleplayer campaign.I was thinking of a practice range and SBMM, but that's a good counterpoint.
>>736550860>m.jpg>xitter>Paul Tassi
>>736552106Actual mental illness.
>>736563223That's literally what made me uninstall BF6, I had a match where there was some nigger with a shotgun that basically was one shoting me several times upon seeing me before I could even react.I'm personally rather mid to bad, but holy shit, it's impossible for a human to react in less than a second, even the best of the best players have higher react times.
>>736562829It's a gaslighting tactic. Like when they say "I'm a lefty and I've never any lefty say that"
>>736551080I got accused of cheating in D2 because I use a controller on PC. Not my fault I got used to playing with one when it was console-only and they give controllers huge aim assist.
>>736563284Well one managed to finally hit mainstream success so get ready for another 10 flops over the next couple years trying to recreate it.>>736563313>These people demand a 40 dollar PvP game to be turned into a coop PvE game with a fully fledged singleplayer campaignPeople want that because that's what Bungie and the Marathon ip are known for. Absolutely no one was asking for a Marathon extraction game or any extraction game from Bungie and the charts prove it.
>>736551080MyCow is in the right here
>>736564097>shills: Show me PROOF of this cheating epidemic>Bungie: Here's an official post acknowledging cheating and the steps we're taking to fix itFriendly fire? Funny either way
>>736563761Speak for yourself
>>736564258None of that is evidence of a cheating epidemic. I can also confirm that they actively ban cheaters as I reported 1 that got banned
>>736564343>this huge, unannounced post from Bungie talking about steps they're taking to address and limit cheating is not proof of cheating being a problemWhen you look at yourself in the mirror, do you know that it's not actually a different person that looks just like you?
>>736555934debatable, but not a fact.
>>736550860 Will Night marsh SAVE marathon?
>>736563761>Absolutely no one was asking for a Marathon extraction gameI wasn't asking for it, but I ended up liking it. It's one thing to want a certain type of game from a company, but wanting an existing game to be made into a different game is idiotic. With this said, I'd love a remake of the first Marathon game in the new art style.
Why did Bungie lose?
>>736550860streamers getting fucked is a good thing
>>736565469Departing talent (the ones who made Bungie what it is) + hubris + terminal pozz + inefficient dev processes
>>736556190They made it into a movie, so it's a franchise now
>>736557327Co-op gamesUnless you count save editing to skip deep rock galactic's grinding grift
>>736551938Cheating on console is even more trivial than PC.
>>736566105I've seen an extremely obvious cheater (Chinese) in Helldivers 2 once. I've also been to an infinite supercredit resupplies lobby once.
>>736556157No, he's the Destiny shill guy and Destiny fans are the biggest doomposters because they think the sooner Marathon dies the sooner they'll get Destiny 3
>>736554545Ahm, excuse me. My posting guide says that the Marathon art style is exciting, innovative and modern and that I should focus on mentioning it as much as possible.
>>736557327Card games.
sisters no, not like this...
>>736565469They've always been very smug and prideful, and somewhat deservedly so. Games like Halo 3 were cultural phenomenons. But then they siloed themselves off from the rest of the industry by working in the Destiny mines for over a decade. Here they are with a new game after all this time, touting their self-proclaimed "best in class gunplay", when in reality it's just heavy aim assist and bullet magnetism. They figured the masses would show up to play the new Bungie game when today's teenagers have never even heard of Bungie before.
I love when people self own by admitting they never see cheaters in their games. Newsflash: if the matchmaking is working, you'll never see cheaters in high elo matches. So you probably just blow dick.Arc raiders was the worst about it. So many anons swearing cheating isn't an issue for ages on launch, meanwhile me and my fps bros were sitting on dozens of compd kits because we were in high aggression high mmr lobbies There's no point bothering with serious fps focused games on PC. There's a monetary incentive to cheat now that streaming is enormous, which completely fucks any competitive integrity.
>>736553592>i don't really think there is an easy way to beat cheatingThere isn't. You just need OBS and a PI and a little bit of wire and soldering knowledge and you can have a comoletely impossible to detect aimbot.
>>736562562Brown retarded faggots would rather eat shit than admit their game is dying
>>736566462There is no ELO in Marathon. Matchmaking is based on season level.
>>736550881Is gay zone any good?
>>736561925Why is it always trannies?
Call me a fascist, idc. But the best way to beat cheating is to make it illegal. Require ID to create an account. Account gets caught cheating, big brother tracks your identity, misdemeanor cybercrime.>But what about foreigners?We should have snipped the cable between us and Europe/asia a long time ago.
>>736558991Faggot can't even use sayonara right.
>>736556702The ps5 has usb ports already, anon.
>>736557282I remember complaining about cheaters in Hunt Showdown in like 2020 and like 90% of the fanbase on steam forums just bitched and moaned like GIT GUD BLAH BLAH BLAH.Cheaters exist. They are fucking everywhere. As long as we let jeets and changs on our servers and in our countries, there will be cheaters. whites cheat too but they aren't proud of it, so it's usually not a widespread issue.
>>736558991Are subreddits just /v/-lite? What's the difference at this point?
>>736550860The worst part about this is that this always precedes an even bigger pumpkin-eater problem.
>>736559818D1 did it better
>>736552295
>>736551080The Maratroon fag is correct, a tweet is not evidence enough to write an article, this nigger needs to actually do his job as a journalist. But I guess as long as you're shitting on the thing that's popular to shit on or praising the thing you're supposed to praise nobody cares about journalistic integrity.
>>736564770>With this said, I'd love a remake of the first Marathon game in the new art style.You'll never get it, Bungie have their operations oriented around live service more than any other company in the industry, and a single-player title competes with that for the most important currency to them (player attention)

[Bad News] Marathon has a player count problem
>>736569427With Marathon's reddit actively banning anyone who posts anything even slightly negative, and with actual marathonfags trying to shill the game here on /v/, Tassi's patience for having retards in his DMs is probably below zero at this point. I'm sure we'll get screencaps of another Tahnit retard meltdown because of Tassi's post, too
>>736569675[Uplifting News]

>>736562565well he is a lifelong democrat so I guess that tracks

>>736571130They're troons they will say absolutely anything to try to wriggle out of the truth. I mean how do you think they convince themselves that giving themselves autogynephilia from jerking off too much means they really woman?
>>736571130Anyone, no matter how previously 'woke', will immediately do a magical girl transformation into a chud if their opinions fall outside of the current woke orthodoxy.Like if the retarded Duskborne devs suddenly started basedposting on their social media, or their next game was a full 180 into conservative view points, they'd get branded as being chuds immediately.
>>736550860live-service games are a plague.why can't we go back to private community servers?or LAN?
>>736571574The purity spiral flushes much faster than that, those fuckers could simply imply that maybe x specific news story about Trump isn't quite as bad as the article makes it sound and they'd be fucked forever
>>736571640We can. AAA development is dead because a species of parasite has taken over the industry which uses infinite budgets over infinite time to steal money. Just the same way charities spend all the money on "administration" and never give more than 1/10000th of it away.AI tools allow tiny groups with an idea and very little training to make whatever they want without the parasite structure being necessary. Yes, the tools are still improving now, but very soon any random asshole will be able to shit out HL3 or a real Terminator 3 or a real Firefly 2 or whatever the fuck they want exactly how they want it in hours and there will be nothing the parasite can do but cry and try to ban it.The anti AI push is about they are terrified that they accidentally made themselves irrelevant, because they did.
>>736571640because private community servers are a threat to GAAS monetization.Why do you think private community servers disappeared for games past 2010 onwards?
>>736550860>do nothing>win

>>736551080It should be legal to behead such people holy shit>it's not real>I won't look>that's irrelevant and debunked
>>736572070Those fucking retards have had since 1970 to make good products and they decided to stop suddenly and take money from (((bad people))) to make fucking dogshit for 20 straight years. They deserve to be replaced and the ones who don't, if they exist, can also just use the same tools to make their products faster.
>>736572070>>736572321I love the revisionist history from artists especially. Fun fact, for 99.99999% of human history, "artist" was not a job. The fact that there was even this tiny slice in the history of man where people were getting paid to draw purdy pictures on their iPad in an air conditioned office high rise should be seen as a blessing.
>>736551602lmfaooo
>>736572563What is this retardation? Professional artisans have always existed as jobs since commerce was a thing. If you're talking about the 'artist funded by a (wealthy) patron' thing, that's always existed, too.
>>736551080He did the 4chan thing where you find a single tweet as evidence for what an entire nation/race/gender is doing now.>one_woman_tweet.png>Why are white women buying air purifiers now?
>>736552227ah an optimist
>>736572685>even in his retarded tranny cope he had to change the titlego fuck yourself moron
>>736550860That's how extraction shooters are. I've never seen more cheaters in my life than when I was playing Arc Raiders, almost every fifth death was from a new profile or a VAC banned account.
>>736553543kek, I like that a new batch of players collectively decides they're going to quit every monday/tuesday.
>>736573012Brainlet bro, professional artists have existed as a career type for as long as human history has existed. Whether it was someone painting the decorative pillars in a pharaoh's temple or a painter making portraits of nobility, artists have existed as a career. I recommend a remedial history class if this sounds strange or confusing to you.
>>736573187nah fuck off with your cope and tie on with your ropethe faggots you've been paypigging for will never respect you
>>736573282I'm not sure what your schizo rambling even means at this point, but good luck I guess?
>>736573391get noticed lol
>>736572563Why is it do you think that artists who actually work are even paid well? They're the lowest rung "dev" next to a game tester. Even if you hate woke shit there are plenty of amazing balanced artists from other countries who won't be contributing to games because companies can point an LLM at their portfolio and steal their style + soulless slop. You're going to end up with even worse art in games while the industry nepotism continues regardless. There's never been a technical shortcut that's lead to better quality it just leads to lazier and worse dev standards. I'm not even somebody who thinks modern LLMs are without merit or function but it's ridiculous to see this sentiment on this board like the lackey pumping out armor designs is responsible for the C suite being a bunch of dark triad commies at publisher X Y Z.
Bungoes cannot afford a ban wave, especially now of all time. The player drop off would be more brutal than the post server slam.
>>736552428Lol why is there always a retard like this?destiny 2 had such a disgusting cheater problem that you couldn't even get to first 3-5 wins without running into one in trials of osiris until bungie locked it behind a paywall. I even ran into cheaters in marvel rivals who just crash out and start hacking because they're getting spitroasted by everyoneagh i fucking hate these stupid fucking useless old heads who try to tell you that cheating is only in the top 0.01% of players
>>736550860welcome to online shooters
>>736550860ive been cheating since day zero, its not that there's a lot of cheaters, its that the cheater pertentage is growing as legit players abandon the game, we have like 10k daily players and I'm in a cheating discord that has over 2k membersstill not banned btw
>>73655193890% of the playerbase is on pc, you can opt out of pc matchmaking on console but good luck with the queue time
>>736552705>and fog of wared to make ESP less effective.lollmaoROFLMAO evenfog of war barely impairs ESP, it sometimes glitches when shells use their abilities outside the range of detection of the fog of war but otherwise it updates the location of the players as soon as they enter your range again
Tahnit status?
>>736575069JAMMED UP AND READY TO BOY
>>736553592you don't even have to be subtle in marathon1. there's no killcam so literally no one can see your screen2. there's no telemetry that checks how often you headshot people, so hard locking on them 100% of the time won't get you banned3. battleye is a complete joke, it cannot detect loaders that disguise themselves as windows drivers, bypassing it completely, fucking WINDOWS DEFENDER is more reliable than battleye as it tries to shut down my hack unless I disable it, lmfaot. I made a shitty external DMA hack for my private use and played 100 hours with it, still not banned and I don't "pretend" to be legit, I hard lock on people's heads in the marsh map with a longshot sniper and wipe entire lobbies, completely unpunished for over a month of gameplay.the truth is, bungie doesn't give a shit, they just say they do in PR because the truth is, cheaters are less than 2% of the playerbase, its pointless to chase after them, just look at how destiny cheating was never solved and they just went after blatant chinese boosting services instead.
>>736551139You forgot the extraction shooter part which attracts the absolute worst subhumans in humanity
>>736554646don't actually buy from this dude, he's a reseller so retarded he got his entire cheating discord screenshotted and banned
>>736550860>target audience is trannies>trannies are cheaters irl and also always cheat in other multiplayer games like CSpredictable
>>736575204It's not exclusive to extraction shooters, all competitive games with matchmaking have massive cheater problems
>>736558359in marathon I just crouch spam and when I see the dude across the map doing it while looking at me we just silently agree not to go after each other because its just a matter of who aimbots faster
>>736575272well they are literally trying to cheat life by lying about being women
>>736575346yes, in case it wasn't clear that is what I meant by "cheaters irl".

>>736578189There's no fucking way this lasts until May unless they bot it so that investors don't sue them
>>736574756You should be sentenced to be legally strangled to death for cheating in an online video game. It should be a felony to cheat or hack in an online video game, it should be illegal to sell devices that help do so, it should be punishable by death to sell hack software.
>>736550860>PCheaters need cheat engine to hang with ConsoleChadsa tale as old as time
>>736579085out of all the flavorsyou chose to be salty
Any game with Chinese, Russian, or French Canadians has a cheater problem
It's kind of crazy that Xbox has effectively bowed out of the console race when Sony has been doing something akin to competitive money losing after Firewalk Studios and Bungie.
>>736551885Marathon shills being against banning cheaters because it would drop their abysmal player numbers even further is peak comedy
>>736582406Who would still be playing it either way? Is anyone even streaming it?
>>736575164got any recs for a guide or book, just one?
>>736551938all the cheaters are console players with free aim bot on their controllers though, the quickest way to destroy a shooter is cross play and forcing pc gamers to play against console cheaters
>>736583006I think the quickest way to destroy a shooter is make it PVP only with a focus on 3v3 teams, as Destiny 2 PVP, Highguard, and now Marathon have conclusively demonstrated.
>>736552428Extraction shooters are the most prone to cheating and arc raiders also has a lot of them but arc has more players so its less likely to face them. Ive had 3 reports result in a ban in arc. Guy was so obviously walling it made me laugh. You can lose everything in a run and people have gear fear. The weak will resort to underhanded advantages whenever they face uncertainty. Even pubg had an insane cheater problem and it also used battleeye same as marathon, it is a notoriously shit anti cheat.
>>736551080Every time I see a facefag defending Marathon on X it's always a grey-haired millennial. Why do they love these types of online shooters so much?
>>736583568Also Arc has entirely PvE lobbies so people barely see cheaters thereSame reason Tarkov has a massive cheating problem but no ine cares anymore because more people do PvE lmao
Blast havers, how are we feeling rn?

>Tassi twitter screencap
Its incredible seeing such a shilled game die
>>736585939How is this game shilled? If anything, Crimsaar Desert is the shilled one.
>>736585939The shamelessness of the journos circling the wagons is what gets me. They shill for Veilguard, Avowed, Concord, and Highguard, all of those are amazing flops, and the games they were counter shilling at the time (Wukong, Crimson Desert) blow up and are huge successes.But nothing stops them, and never admit any kind of 'we were wrong,' and a lot of them start adopting a 'fuck you, I liked it, so I'm not wrong about my review' attitude. I can only hope AI results in them all being put out of work.
>>736586018>how is Marathon shilledAre you actually retarded or just pretending to be?
>>736586018???Crimson Desert was eviscerated by journos.
>>736586018LOL SEETHING TRANNY CONFIRMED FOR MARATROONEAT SHIT SISHAHAHHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA
>>736584823great, was just reading that one
>>736586025>>736586039>>736586051>>736586068This schizophrenic narrative that journalists are some mysterious cabal collectively deciding which games they “shill” and which games they don’t is just false. Crimson Desert deserved a lower than 6/10 score while Marathon deserved all its critical acclaim. If you don’t believe it, you didn’t play both games or have extremely bad taste.I don’t personally agree on the score Veilguard got, but the other games all have valid scores.
>>736586212>the 'journalists are a cabal' is a myth that's falseI guess you weren't around for GamerGate when the cabal literally got exposed, huh?>all of those games have valid scoresOh, you're just retarded.IGN also got shit on so badly for their double standards with Marathon and CD that they're re-reviewing CD.
>>736586212Forgot to add.Popularity =/= quality. Hope that helps. >>736586281Oh yikes, you’re one of those GamerGate folks. The CD re-review is not going to be for a couple of months and it’s doubtful that the score is going to change.
>>736586212Ahh. So journos will wait for Cryo to come out before reviewing Marathon but won't rescind the CD reviewes after extensive patches?
>>736586350>Oh yikes, you’re one of those GamerGate folkslmao too obvious
>>736586281its travis north himself (the ign reviewer for both cd and maratroon), he keeps showing up here to shit on Crimson desert and glaze marathon, dude is retarded
Oh good the game journo is posting again
>>736586212>This schizophrenic narrative that journalists are some mysterious cabal collectively deciding which games they “shill” and which games they don’t is just false.what was the original journopro email list?what was the gamejournopro email list behind coordinated campaigns such as "gamers are dead"?the only word in that quote that isn't accurate is "mysterious". there is nothing mysterious about what they do. it's all rather blatant and predictable.
>>736586350>oh, yikesTravis, is that you? I thought you would've learned by now that journalists are diet marketers and are completely impotent and have been increasingly irrelevant since social media took off.
>>736586407I wonder if he sees Marathon's decreasing player count while looking over at Crimson Desert's large and stable player count and thinks '..am I so out of touch? No.. it's the gamers who are wrong.'I'd be embarrassed just to be in the same room as him
>>736586362No patch is going to fix CD’s problem - the lack of a soul. Take it from me, it’s unlikely to get a higher score even with a re-review from IGN. The game is unfortunately just slop. The reviewer was texting me about how bad his experience was for the game and that he couldn’t wait to hop back on Marathon the whole time, lmao.>>736586407>>736586412>>736586426>>736586427Look at all these schizophrenic people riled up because I shit on their darling open world slop. >>736586534What part of popularity does not equate to quality do you folks not understand? A lot of people enjoy McDonalds but would you say McDonalds is good if you’re a food critic? The people ARE out of touch if they think the latest soulless AI slop is good compared to the achievement that is Marathon. I look forward to the day when it gets multiplayer GOTY and you all are crying AGAIN.
>>736586629what else did he text you fag
>>736550860Makes sense.Marathon is a pay-to-play game. If I pay for a game I'm entitled to have fun in it, and losing isn't fun, so I turn on my cheats.
[enlightening news] number keeps going down
Lmao this dude is either Travis or he's so mindbroken he's just pretending to know some game journo faggot as if it gives him clout
>>736586629Crimson Desert and Marathon both suck but one is a better game than the other and more popular and it’s not the one you shill for, Travis. Hope you got paid because this is pathetic
>>736586629>IGN won't give CD a better score!And? IGN is irrelevant and its low score hasn't hurt CD any more than it has saved Marathon. An IGN review is like an article on page 14 in the back of a newspaper.>popularity isn't quality! Don't you folx understand?!Marathon has one unique thing going for it, and one unique thing only: the art style, which itself was partially plagiarized. That's it. If it was just a bunch of those movie trailers like the ones they used to market it, people would be fine. As a game? It's mediocre PVP in Bungie's tired engine. That you (Travis) can't understand this is why people say you have no taste (and accusing others of not having it just your insecurity projecting itself outward, like wearing that ridiculous tie to larp as a grown up with a real job), and why IGN is considered a joke publication that just sends out whatever marketing lines the companies paying for ad space tell them to.
>>736586212kill yourself journo trashit's overnot a single person on earth gives a fuck what you think
>>736569663Wtf do you expect people to make friends and form communities or something???
>>736586959HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA MARATHON TRANNY YOU GOT CAUGHT RED FUCKING HANDED HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAGO HAVE A LAST BLAST BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE YOU PIECE OF FUCKING SHIT SHILL
>>736586994Got caught red handed? What the hell are you on about buddy? Take your meds.
>>736586959>we The absolute state
>>736587039IT'S WAY TOO LATE NOW RETARD HOLY FUCKING SHIT LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
This nigga just admitted to being a game journo lol
>deletedlmao
>>736586959>I'm not the one bringing them upNo, you work for them and feel the need to defend them, which is even more pitiable.>muh validationIt's more laughing at how out of touch IGN and other review sites are and how they're continually blown out by games they hate being really successful, thereby proving how out of touch they are.>The TGAs! You'll see! Marathon is a shoe in!Marathon is losing about 5k to 10k players a week and at that loss rate it won't make it through the summer let alone to the fall. But sure, Marathon, which would be in hospice if it's alive by December, would be a hilarious candidate for an award which would again show how completely ridiculous 'professional' games journalism is. I sincerely hope Sony refuses to admit defeat and lets Marathon limp along with sub 10k players to get a special Make a Wish style award at the TGAs.
that’s why he was spamming that Travis said he hated it, probably some tranny in the same journo discord or Travis himselfkill yourself please
>>736587128>>736587076>>736587051Would you anons believe this is at least the third time Travis has outed himself, gotten embarrassed, and deleted the post? I think he's probably drinking while posting, because nobody could be that consistently sensitive and retarded at the same time.
There’s no way actual journalists are just hanging out on /v/ shitting on crimson desert and STILL glazing marathon, I refuse to believe it
>>736550860>game popular with transgender community>full of cheaters/botsHow does it keep happening
>>736587128HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>736587243It's worse because there are only a couple actual marathon shills on here, they're just very loud and retarded. This journo fuck is one of them and has been vehemently defending this slop since it released
>>736587243It's psychologically painful to admit you're wrong, let alone for something tied to your job/professional identity. Most people (like Travis) would rather post here and sperg out over and over about how 'the gamers are wrong, I'm right, and I'M THE TASTE MAKER' than say 'Hey, I was actually totally fucking wrong about Marathon being this amazing game. I'll try to be smarter about other reviews.' But Marathon will hit 100k CCUs before that happens lmao
>>736587345What a stupid piece of shit holy fuck
>>736586350>unironically saying yikesOnce again I am proven that people who unironically say "yikes" are not worth listening to.
>>736550860Cheaters? But you can't run it on Linux, so how are they cheating? Really makes you think...
posting in a legendary threadsomeone get me in the screenshot please
Did anyone get his "I deleted the post because it's a typo, I am not a journalist you are schizos" post that he made and then just deleted
>>736587313>Deleted too KEEEEEK
>>736587450See >>736587275I also have pics of the other time it happened but i'm phoneposting at the moment
Will Travis lose his job because of this or do ign not care about anything? why did they get the same guy to review both games in such a short period of time btw? do they not have other reviewers?
>>736587275Saved, thanks anon kek
>>736587481awesome, let's show everyone right away when he comes back next, we can make a compilation
>>736587501I doubt they would, unless 4chan somehow manages to actually shitpost something into existence like old times. IGN may not give a shit, but it wouldn't surprise me if they did do something simply from a game journo associating with "the hacker 4chan"
>IGNcuck defending his review on fucking /v/KWABOTYBlast while you can blast haver, second day without hitting 30k ;)
>>736587501I fucking hope so he's been camping our board pretending to be an anon for fucking weeks now, which of course entails him saying all sorts of words that his jew bosses wouldn't want him saying so he can try to blend inwhat a piece of shit
>>736587501Nothing's going to happen since it's only conjecture (but still probably true) that it was a butthurt and possibly drunk Travis posting here in a fit of seething, impotent rage. Maybe he's just a masochist with a humiliation fetish since he's done this a few times before.
>people are falling for the LARPNewfags don't know how to delete their comments, period.I'm an oldfag from 2023 and only figured out how to delete posted stuff as of 5 months ago
>>736587501his comments about jeets and them bathing in shit etc that he made could get him in trouble (even though he’s right about them kekaroo)
Hmmm
>>736587652nice try retarded fuck
>>736587658It would be very on brand for someone who presents as a liberal/woke/leftist to be secretly a /pol/ tier racist after having lived around and worked with 'the browns' because they all live in leftist shithole cities
It was just a larper you gullible idiots
>>736587658LMAOI guarantee there's some shit on his twitter about how reprehensible racism is or something as they always do, he deserves it
>>736587652>>736587718he’s been larping for weeks then, dedicated af
>>736587718IT ISN'T WORKING BUDDYSHOULDN'T HAVE FUCKED AROUND
>>736587718If it was, it wouldn't change the fact that game journos and IGN itself is still fucking retarded. A person successfully larping as one is just modern-day minstrelsy.
lol
This guy has been shitposting in every Marathon or Crimson Desert related topic for weeks ever since that guy started getting twitter hate. I know because there’s so few maratroon shills that it’s just obvious who is who at this point. There’s one that keeps posting their playtime and shitty webms too for example
>>736587668>>736587881FUCKING LOL
send this shit to his editor including the racist comments if you have them saved time to make the tranny cry and lose his job that he values so highly at the very least it’ll have them investigate
>>736587903Yep definitely the same fucking retarded piece of shit. Amazing how badly he fucked up. All the threads in the archive are full of him dropping all sorts of slurs I'm sure IGN would really appreciate. Oh no that sucks.
>>736587963I'm sure because he's retarded he's been shitposting on the company PC and his IT department can pull his usage.
>>736587903>There’s one that keeps posting their playtime and shitty webms too for examplei don't post webms
i just fried a frozen icecream on my pan while you fags argued with some troll who wants you to like IGNthe absolute state of retardsstop getting manipulated
>>736587903The guy who posts webms already gave up on the game lol
>>736588060HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHATHIS IS THE MOST PATHETIC DAMAGE CONTROL I'VE EVER SEENIT ISN'T WORKING IDIOTSHOULDN'T HAVE FUCKED AROUND
It's just too painfully obvious that these journalists are shilling Marathon because they're friends with people at Bungie.
if /v/ makes a retarded seething troon journo lose their job it’ll be hilarious, would be reminiscent of the old times
GET AHEAD OF IT NOW TRAVISTEXT YOUR BOSSTELL HIM YOU FUCKED UP
No one who isn't a journo would get this defensive when called out
Make sure the maraxisters get the proper mental health help you need!
>>736588235definitely a journo kek, those slurs will land them in trouble
>>736588259>youthey* bit ruined killing myself
>>736552081That's pretty dire
>>>>
>>736588235Nope, what a fucking retard
>>736588341THIS PIECE OF SHIT REFERRED TO HIMSELF AS LEGENDARY REVIEWER TRAVIS NORTHWHAT THE FUCK
>>736556882True however you can understand that even stating such a thing starts giving people a false sense of ideas and expectations. Bungie keeps digging the hole bigger and they won't stop.
>>736582406We have to let the cheaters win to own the chuds!It's the only ethical solution.
>>736588138i like that you screenshot my posts, makes me feel special
>>736560497I always fantasised about putting my hands down Jessie's pants when I was young
>>736588421that makes me feel like it was a larp lol
>>736571640You are having too much of a think there bud. You wouldn't want some pesky freeloader to run their own servers, would you?
>>736551080>antidotal evidence
>>736588569>my favorite game is honkai star rail.>marashill Christ has the this "guy" only ever played slop in his life?
>>736556960>People are leaving us in droves and literally no one is playing our game but at least we got a few decent upboats on steamok buddy
>>736588554yeah I don't know about that given >>736588569
>>736588569LEGENDARY REVIEWER TRAVIS NORTH SAYS HE ISN'T TRAVIS LMAOOOOOOOOOWHAT A FUCKING MORON
>>736588538Show your feet sis
>>736582406i mean, same thing happened in destiny, crucible was infested with hackers but banning them would make destinys already bad player numbers even worse
>Legendary reviewer Travis Northup
I already avoid gacha like the plague but thanks travis I will never ever consider playing star rail now
>>736588861jesus fucking christ what a piece of shit
>>736588861>Halo 5 10/10dude is just a mega shill
so this is just a Travis exposed thread now? Kek can you show what he rated concord if he reviewed it? i won’t give ign a hit to check his profile
>>736588937HAVE MERCY IT WAS JUST HIS JOB TO COME ON 4CHAN AND CALL US ALL NIGGERS FOR LIKING CRIMSON DESERT AND NOT LIKING MARATHONHE HAD TO CALL US NIGGERS AND KIKES AND JEETS REPEATEDLY HE'S JUST DOING HIS JOB FOR IGN
>>736588983These are all Travis except Veilguard which was reviewed by some fat lesbian
>>736589041How much did you make lying Travis????? How much did you make lying Travis?????
>>736589041>Veilguard which was reviewed by some fat lesbianfat tranny*
>>736589104IGN is really batting 1000 with these fucking people
>>736589104Hey at least that fat tranny is probably staying on bluesky where he belongs and not coming here to call us all shit soaked jeets for not playing his tranny game Marathon
>>736589041>except Veilguard which was reviewed by some fat lesbiankeeeeeeeeeeek is this why he kept saying ‘except Veilguard’ because even he didn’t want to associate with a 9/10 review for that piece of shit? imagine being so much of a turd that the most retarded shill in history (literally just lost his job for shitposting on 4chan) doesn’t support you KEK
>>736551736Every one of them except Helldivers which is one of the only several good new games in all of existence.
>>73658603999% of the threads have been steamcharts making fun of the dead playerbase, unless the marketing department for marathon is making those I don't see the shilling
>>736550860!#%$ YOU, I HAD A GOOD TIME.
>>736589221SHUT THE FUCK UP TRAVISIT'S ALREADY OVER YOU FUCKING MORON
>>736586412fortnite is one of the most played games on the planet while being objectively dogshit, without a cohesive identity or art style, a total hackjob of a lategame idea they threw at the wall because they knew their pve gamemode was gonna bomb that miracurously attracted kidsI'd rather play maratroon for 100 more hours than 10 minutes of parpnite
>>736589041so why does ign employ these people again? I feel like they could just run LLMs on social sentiment (Twitter/yt/reddit/steam/resetera) and then shit out a review that’s better than these trannies, no?
>>736551736Hey, leave Ghost of Tsushima alone, it was before things really went to shitwe don't talk about the sequel
>>736589180veilguard got a higher ccu than marathon, shouldnt travis see that they are both shitty games then?
>>736589248This reminds me, why did they make that accolades video with that timing if they knew their paid shill journalists were going to shower them with 9s and 10s a couple days later?
>>736589286what does travis touchdown have to do with this thread
>>736589339he's been "working", that's what IGN employees do I guess is they spend all day every day on fucking /v/ shilling
>>736589374You leave legendary reviewer Travis Northrup alone you monster, he uses racial slurs all day on 4chan just like us!
>>736589430LITERALLY WHO
>>736589316IGN, just like the other lolcow outlets like PCgamer, Gamesradar, Kotaku etc, can only get attention though clickbait
>>736589478>paying up the ass for popular va when you barely hear the voice during the game, only when you complete questswhy did they do this?
>>736589475LITERALLY YOUIT ISN'T WORKING TRAVIS YOU FUCKING PIECE OF SHITEMAIL HR QUICK THEY WANT TO TALK TO YOU LMAOTHEY WANT TO KNOW ABOUT YOUR PC USAGE HABITS ON OFFICE TIME TRAVIS
It’s definitely Travis. I had a look at his Twitter and he is reposting Kotaku puff pieces about Marathon while fighting with people about Crimson Desert. This is exactly what he did on 4chan too, except he used a bunch of slurs while doing so.
Tahnit lost Travis lost Newposter lost
>>736589586LMFAO this retard is about to lose his job because he shitposted too hard on here you can’t make this shit up
>>736589586Holy fuck lol we were right this whole timeI mean it was obvious but that's amazing
>>736589586KEK FUCK YOU TRAVISYOU GET WHAT YOU FUCKING DESERVE
>>736589586>>736589631>>736589639Look at how he types, the false narrative etc. The words used are too similar.
>
did ign direct him to use slurs or did he do it to blend in (except he said that he was a legendary reviewer which revealed him right away)
>>736589743I'm not sure what's company policy on calling someone a "cum guzzling little niglet" when they criticize Marathon, Travis?
>>736589586>>736589731Look at him glazing himself on his Twitter. Makes sense now that he called himself a legendary reviewer. He is just that narcissistic and retarded. Not much doubt in my mind now. Still think it was a larper?
>>736588801
>>736589731>>736589732>>736589821Jesus fucking christ man he's been at this for two straight weeks, more actuallyWhat the fuck are they paying him for?
Just look. It’s the exact same writing style. It’s him.
>>736589915Oh it's him for sure, he's totally fucked.
can you make a new thread exposing this retard, bake all the evidence. this is way too funny
matchmaking counters cheating because eventually cheaters will STILL hit a skill wall even with cheats and stay in that MMR. Its just becomes SUPER obvious in games like marathon where the lobbies are not mmr locked
>>736589915Okay its him now what
>>736589978A thread just on that would probably get deleted
25k is a perfectly acceptable player count for a 300 million dollar game developed by a 4 billion dollar company
Never forget
>>736590017now he probably loses his job if ign has any integrity
>>736589915No fucking way lol >>736588569It's LITERALLY him
>>736590073THEY ALWAYS CALL YOU INTO THE FIRING MEETING ON FRIDAY TRAVIS
>if ign has any integrity So nothing happens? Got it.
>>736590049yeah, and next week 20k is gonna be perfectly acceptableand then 15k the week after
>>736590046Existing in the archives is good enough I think.
This journalist shill is way more pathetic than Tahnit
get this to asmongold i want to see this fuck fired
>>736590108If we know exactly how he types, so does everyone he works with lol
Tahnit... Travis...>>736590062Bro even writes the same wayGranted, the left has hivemind think and act like a cult, but I wouldn't rule out the possibility
>>736590242I dunno about that lol
Okay I thought people were joking bht thos twitter posts are as austic as the ones here.OR you idiots just fell for a larper that copied his writing style.
>>736590268kek
>>736590268He's banned for an entire fucking week. He could have broken the news but by the time he gets unbeaned both Marathon and Travis will have faded into irrelevancy
>>736590321>bht thos
>>736588937This is literally how they always been. Most of these journalists are located in Seattle, Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, California, NYC. They're constantly meeting and mingling at gaming related events. Giving Marathon so much praise was because IGN, Polygamer, and Kotaku employees probably have friends at Bungie. Quite frankly, It's weird that they pushed this disgusting narrative over Crimson Desert being a mediocre game because it wasn't Ubisoft levels of accessible and probably because they saw it as a chud-coded game. The hypocrisy is volatile and abhorrent; they're entirely driven by their weird cabal.The fact that Paul Tassi went out of his way to shit on Marathon was a good thing, he was an avid Destiny player so I can see why he was so critical of Marathon because Bungie certainly let Destiny fall on the sword for Marathon and that was a massive betrayal to their community.
>>736590332ah shit how'd he get banned? mass reported by commies again?
>>736590268only woke fags try to cancel people
>>736590404He said he doesn't care what illiterate third worlders think. Meanwhile you can commit literal sexual assault and not even get a ban
>>736590416"bro just let the rottweiler with alzheimers run around and bite people instead of dosing him out once and for good"
>>736590416eat shit journotrash you brought this on yourself
>>736590395Somehow Paul fucking Tassi is the one with integrity compared to these shills. The absolute state.>>736590439Kek. Well he will eventually get around to it. Although I feel like he hasn’t really talked about this game much. Grummz has but he’s a loser. I guess he can pick this one up? Seems like an interesting story that could spark off GamerGate 2? Given that people love CD and this guy is at the forefront of the industry bias against outsider devs.
>>736590439fucking hypocrite scum, reminds me of our boy Travis here
how the fuck are you guys falling for such an obvious larp
>>736588861>W3 blood and wineAlright I gotta ask. Do these journos play through the entire game to get to the DLC or do they just get handed a save with an appropriate leveled character? I have a hard time imagining them spending enough time in a game like W3 or any souls game to get to the DLC areas before releasing their review.
>>736590530Grummz will run with anything that'd probably work, I don't use shitter though
>>736590596IT ISN'T WORKING TRAVISFRIDAY COMES SOON TRAVISTICK TOCK TRAVIS
>>736550860>NO LINUX SUPPORT>Cheaters infestBUT MUH LACK OF LINUX SUPPORT WAS SUPPOSED TO FIX THIS ACCORDING TO BUNGLE!?LMAO @ Bungle.#NoTuxNoBux
>>736590629No of course they don't, they probably watch some videos and talk about it together on their Slack, which is like discord for office trash. I bet none of them play it and they all collectively decide what to say about it.Absolute scumbags.
I heard that online game cheating can be prevented with anticheat running on the servers instead of the client. Does anyone know if this is true? Like I guess it's cheaper and profitable to steal your data by installing anticheat on your machine instead of them having closely monitored server.
>>736551602>Half those are deadGrim.>>736556190"Remake"/UE5 port was released at the time. In fact, the port has a cliffhanger to entice folks to buy the game, which barely anyone did (I finally did this past year and beat it in like January) and so the studio closed, so that whole cliffhanger was stupid.
>>736590680>>736590727YOU'RE IN THE ARCHIVE TRAVISTHE BUMP LIMIT WON'T DELETE IT TRAVIS
>>736590727>I heard that online game cheating can be prevented with anticheat running on the servers instead of the client.where'd you hear that, anon? r/retards?
good that we know it’s travis but you guys realise nothing will happen right. i guess he’ll stop posting now though, ill miss those 3/10 crimsaar sucks aaiiiieeeeeeeee posts
>>736590767I either read it here or on steam, i can't remember but it sounded interesting
>>736590810Friday - firedSaturday - hung over from drinking Friday in sorrowSee you Sunday
>>736590530>>736590634Grummz is washed as fuck. He's just chasing the algorithm now, trying to become BharatNation_2.0. Neither of them really report about woke shit anymore.
>>736590857fired how, there’s no proof. they won’t investigate. the writing styles and all the circumstantial evidence is enough for you and me but not enough to get ign to do anything
>the woke right are engaging in conspiracy theories and trying to cancel peopleguys, please. i'm here for the marathon comments. someone post a chart or something.

>>736566462Just get the server admin to ban any cheaters. Oh wait, lmfao.
>>736590629Travis, at least from his claims in interviews, is thorough and would be the type to play through the entire thing. I think it's why he is so adamant in defending his opinion that CD is not good. He genuinely doesn't like it.
>>736593526There is no way in hell that an IGN reviewer is given enough time to complete games, particularly not ones like CD.t. Worked at Toms Hardware, back when the policy was to not review a game until the end credits, and how badly we were beaten in time and ad rev.
