Travis is a self proclaimed legendary reviewer at IGN who said that “we will make this game win multiplayer GOTY whether you like it or not”which I agree with because it’s such a good game that it’s lost 70% of its playerbase in a month.
>>736591795
>>736591795The journalist cabal is just a conspiracy made up to cope btw.
>>736591795funny
>>736591795Are you serious?
>>736592018>Popular = good
>>736592018What the fuck, this guy is corrupt for sure.
>>736592043No. Travis might be though
>>736592018the most egregious is halo 5 getting a 10/10 why isn’t it in this collage
>>736591795LEGENDARY REVIEWER
>>736592018He reviewed Marathon on an Xbox Series X. Holy fucking kek
>>736592049>Not popular = good
>>736592018All those scores are corrrect, except the Veilguard one (which is another reviewer)
>>736592248Guaranteed he didn't play it for a minute.
>>736592270you’re going to lose your job travis
>>736592287/v/tard projecting not playing games onto others
everyday the 24h peak is lowereveryday less people play>ACK-
>>736591795I hope Troonvis is getting paid for posting here, otherwise he's a pathetic corpo cumsock
>>736591795>>736591823>>736591935>>736592018So it's actually true that the same journalists who all seemed to praise Marathon and bash Crimson Desert at the same time really were in on it together?
>>736592018The new Morgan Park?
>>736592018>Ass creed :(>Ass creed, Korea :)
>these are the co-devs of Marathonhttps://www.pipeworks.com/marathonExplains a lot doesn't it?
Coreans really are fragile little insects aren't they, no different from the chinesoids.It's a mid at best game that literally looks like it was shat out by grok. It's not that deep. Sorry if that shatters your ego
>>736591795Why is there so much seethe around Marathon? Looks fun, thinking about boughteding.
>>736591935>>736592456Jesus fucking Christ Travis how pathetic
>>736592453>if only you knew how bad things really are
>>736591935crazy how a man not part of a shill cabal gets nervous and defensive when someone theorizes there's a shill cabal
>waah CD didnt get score of at least 7 (actual score is 2 in IGN inflated scale)
>>736592598travis said he wanted to give it a 3 but his editor forced him not to in one of his previous posts
>>736592453Absolute milk tank on the far left
>>736592504chuds can't hang on Tau Ceti IV
>>736592598Tranis wanted to personally score it 3, but they didn't want another Wukong situation
you know for a board that constantly talks about game journos being shit and game awards being meaningless you guys sure do put a lot of stock into both of those things
I think the cabal is just a discord all these shills are a part of and whenever a game releases only one of them plays it and gives their thoughts and footage etc and then the rest just get LLMs to write the reviews based on that while they all give it a pre decided score based on how many ads the publisher purchases
>>736592648do you mean far right?
>>736592627My point is unless its score between 9-10, IGN scores literally do not matter as anything below is dog shit.
>>736591795dota has never won that shit so you cant take it seriously
>>736592504go ahead, nobody is going to stop you
>>736592698wtf i love marathon now
Holy shit!The shills were right!I'M HAVING A FUCKING BLAST!
>>736591795>marathon's design is punishing in a way that's fun>it's fun being stomped by kitted out stacks with nades, thermal snipers and shotguns who play the game as a battle royale>it's fun being ripped to shreds in a second upon entering a building by a guy who's been sitting in a corner for the last 10 minutes
>>736592758I'd like to see a shooter just try and be like that by default. Give every single player all the cheats right away, see what happens.
>>736592806"punishing in a way that's fun" is codeword for "shit game but I'm being paid to defend it"
>>736592453>>736592698Why is there a bag on her face
>>736592698Goddamn milk truk just arrive
>>736592814It would autoplay itself with aimbot.
>>736592335Seems to be yeah. Even if you assume the worst about these journos and say that they're not retarded they're just paid shills, they are all coming together because bungie out of desperation paid them crazy money to go scorched earth on the only media competition marathon has right now. Think about how nervous bungie execs are, sony wasted $4 billion on them and they dont even have nothing to show for it, they have a disaster to show for it. Execs at bungie probably believe if they cant turn marathon around to be the next overwatch they will probably end up suicided in their homes
>>736592886pretty sure steam charts only exist as an ad for this game
>>736591795>Calling someone else woke while pulling the “YOU’RE JUST A HECCIN’ RAYCISS” cardLmao what the fuck
>>736592886Really puts things in perspective. People are arguing over scraps.
>>736592758this guy blasts
>>736592847she doesn't want this on her resume
>>736593014This is the same guy who has been spamming /v/ for Marathon and against Crimson Desert for a month straight calling everyone jeet while sucking black cocks in san francisco for black lives matter. Of course he loves trannies :)
Uh oh corean sperg meltie in progress
>>736591795I think both are pretty shit games but I can see people liking certain gameplay aspects of Crimson Desert. If a person claims they like playing Marathon then I automatically assume they simply want to prove how progressive they are.
>>736592698
>>736592328>27kthe exact number of bots tencent runs on bg3. what a coincidence.
>>736591795>>736591823>>736591935>>736591935Go back
>>736592335Keep in mind that a bunch of the outlets are literally owned by the same parent companies as well. And even if they weren't in the same discords, it's pretty obvious where Sony is spending it's ad money.
>>736593258You fucked up Travis, you're in the archive forever no matter what you do.
>>736592453Hold the fuck up. Simply looking retarded is not enough for me. Can you demonstrate that they actually are fucking retards or terrible people?
>"And this years winner for Best Multiplayer Game goes to...">"Highguard!"
>>736593345They are literally all in the same program, Slack, where they all decide how to collaborate to push the narrative.
>>736593361>You fucked up by giving my favorite game a hecking 6Grow lil twitter niglet
>>736593449Ladies and gentlemen Travis Northup
>>736593449>>736593449we dont do racism here travis...
>>736591795are games that were shutdown before the awards even eligible?
If only you knew how blast things really are.
>>736593667Save these posts too, put them in your "mean people I dislike" folder, faggot
>>736593715Yes. But I think Sony would spend the extra millions just to avoid looking bad here.
>>736591795>multiplayer GOTYI mean, the fuck else has released or will release this year?
>>736593715They should add a>You Shoulda Played Itcategory for all the great, on-the-right-side-of-history games that are shuttered within a year.
>>736593909>lets give the award to a game that died on arrival because nothing else released who said it has to be a new game for it to win fag, gray zone warfare has more players than this game and it’s not even released yet
Crimson Desert is a truly mediocre game that only sells because there is a hole in the market that Elder Scrolls 6 has yet to fill.
>>736593923They already have it. It's called "Games for Impact"
>>736593449>>736593834Don't you have some nigger cocks to suck? Surely there's a sweet baby game coming out in the next couple months you can give a 10 to.
>>736594165Hi Travis
>>736594228I will give the next sweet baby game a 10 and get paid afterwards, don't forget to make threads about that :)
Reminder that the Crimson Desert publisher refused an exclusivity deal with SonyGuess who owns the western gaming media cabal (besides the jews)?
>>736591795I'm sure there has been at least one other multiplayer game. No way that slop can win anything unless it gets its own category.
>>736592758This is the one instance where cheaters don't piss me off lmao
MS has way more money than Sony. How come they didn’t buy the reviewers?
great news everyone, i jut hit level 100 as a solo.
>>736594475Why are there so many different fonts
>>736594186Too many of my sarcastic jokes these days turn out to be real things. Gross. It doesn't appear that the audience sees the impact of that award. Why do people watch awards shows anymore?
>>736594506font diversity is out strength, bigot
>>736591795>wins award>games keep losing players and money anywayRumao. Keep the award. It sure will make investor happy.
>>736594443Travis "Niglet" Northup gave Halo 5 100/100
>>736594562what a dumb lolcow
I want him to reduce the score of Crimson Desert in the re-review so you Corean shills cry.
>>736594637why do you keep saying Korean with a C, Troonvis?
>>736591795this guy is a complete shill kekgame journos are just legal advertisements
>>736594562And I got paaaaaidHow much money do you get for crying over marathon hourly /v/ dudes?
>>736592328It has literally nothing going for it except the atmosphere of playing solo before you realize how reductive and lame the game design is
>>736594532Here's this year's future winner
>>736594968there's more to life than money, Fagis, you'd know if you still had a soul
>>736591795Why are they even comparing an extractor sci-fi shooter multiplayer game, to a single player hack and slash game set in a medieval fantasy era? It's almost like they've got an agenda. These 'journalists' look really personal offended that people play the game that they give bad reviews, and not the games they're bribed to give good reviews
>>736594987Important.
>>736592698>*BEEP* *BEEP* MILK DELIVERY
>>736594562h5 is bad if you're a casualjeet
>>736595070Lmao the moral superiority when y'all mercilessly attack Marathon for no reason
>>736594637>himGo to bed Travis
>>736595141But you made them smaller...
>>736591795I'm all in on conspiracy chads being rightEverything I've seen of this game is it being ok at best, like 7.5/10, yet there's this concerted effort to lambast it as some great affront to gaming or...something
>>736595212if you think it's moral superiority, you haven't been around long enough, retardis. Go give Horizon Gapehole Gathering a 10.
>>736594968>And I got paaaaaidok travis, good for you now go be a nigger somewhere else
chud reviews:chinese people 10/10rice 10/10the numbers don't lie
uh oh, journo meltie
>>736595212>when you mercilessly attack the game me and my journo buddies have already decided we will force to win
>>736595983Sounds like sour grapes :D
>>736596062Silence, second class citizen. Go back to your dead end job.
The new normal...
>>736595983Did...did that nigger really forget that gamergate was a thing. They can piss and shit themselves all they want trying to claim it was just about hating women but we remember what it really was.
>>736596115Stop posting real verifiable data, my favorite legendary journalist reviewer Travis Troonup spent months sucking xer game director's dick and said it's goty.
>>736596062Sour grapes that everything you shitbags touch turns into a concord and everything you hate always wins?
>>736596153fuckin kek
>>736596160Name 5 things I hate and won
>>736596138I believe his people call it "chutzpah". It means "a daring quality of bravery that allows you to lie to anyone, even God."
>>736591795The opinion of critics is irrelevant. "Goty" is degenerate.
>>736596191Crimson DesertHeterosexualityVideo GamesDonald Trump/v/
>>736596257>Gave up after 1 gameLOL
>>736596212Of course it is, but now we have this fucking asshole bragging about how it's rigged by him and his cronies on paper. I don't care what they say is GOTY, I care about telling everyone that the exact same corrupt journalists who always do the same thing every single time control that contest so it isn't worth watching.
>>736596289I notice you didn't say I was wrong about the other 4 LMAO
>>736595983What a fucking loser lmao
>>736596326Because it's irrelevant
>>736596340Just like your reviews Travis
>>736591795Crimson Desert shills are mentally mindbroken
>>736596354That's why y'all made a thread about it?
>>736596365Go make us another concord Travis. Give them a 10/10 so you and your buddies get all excited and buy a bunch of stocks in the company and get Marathoned
The non-extraction stuff is great: the maps, the gunplay, etc.They can retool for standard PvP but with some vE. Hell, make it multi-team for all modes. That would be fun.
>>736591795they are snoy fluffers, thats why no one cares about their biased shill pieces and corrupt awards
>>736596376The thread is about how you and your bussy buddies killed Marathon, Travis. About how all of the corruption in the world amounted to jack shit and how you are a powerless retard who spent the last month sperging out here on /v/ for nothing.lol
>>736591795>Sony barely makes any 1st party games any more.>They all "mysteriously" fill up every Award nominations they could conceivably be nominated for>"Games Journalists" come out to bat for failing Sony games when they would lambaste or criticise any other developer and spread FUD other successful games.
>>736596417I didn't kill Marathon, it's not even dead
>>736596428every single time
>>736596386I'm gonna re-review CD and give it a 4/10 like it deserves but IGN didn't want to hurt Korea's fee-fee's
>>736591795I hate IGN and its DEI faggots ova there, but isnt that homo reviewer a bit reasonable here? Crimson Dessert looks like a "fetch questman" simulator. It looks like its mostly consists from brain numbing quests like: fetch x items, kill x, or protect x guy from a horde of enemies for x time etc, like any other mmo with no substance. Now, other games are guilty of this sin as well, but the problem with these missions starts when there are too many of them and when they are awfully streamlined to the point they feel like a chore
>>736596441make sure to tell your buddies at bungie how you fucked them out of a job by fucking sony out of 4.5 billion dollars you dumb cocksucker
>>736596462Shut up shut up shut up it's the savior of our culture and the slayer of woke
Reminder that Marathon has less players than Hunt Showdown. A one month old game vs an 8 year old game.
>>736596495you lost a giant corporation 4.5 billion dollars by engaging in fraud TravisI hope they don't find out
>>736592689Not all of them are there most likely, but a ton of them certainly are somewhere.They got caught when they did this shit on a mailing list. Should we really believe that happened and they all went "well shit, guess we can't collude together anywhere again ever" instead of trying to get sneakier about it?
>>736596289you said things, not games. Maybe you should understand language better before making a career out of writing.
>>736596478I will tell them the game is great and it's unfortunate it's not a huge successBut feel free to send them a message and explain your own weird made up narrative, I'm sure they will read it :)
>>736596605But you've been going around the internet bragging to strangers that you did do that Travis. They can subpoena your posts that you made on your company computer and phone. You told the internet you were responsible for making and breaking games Travis. And you broke one that cost 4.5 billion dollars.
>>736594968based shill
The funniest thing about this game is the insanely high review scores compared to what the game actually offers, I genuinely cannot understand this phenomenon. The UI was shit 2 weeks ago, and I doubt they fixed it in that time outside of the Traxus armory frame rate bug. Basic features are missing like bulk selling shit to vendors and bunch of other in and out of game qol.The game launched with THREE maps, that is less than Arc Raiders which was its closest competitor and Perimeter is actually babby's first fps map project with some round blocks and Halo CE esque looking textures flopped on shit randomly.It's fucking nuts, I haven't met a cult like fanbase like this before in video games.
>>736596454youre so powerful. im sure after your review everyone will refund it and blast off with Marathon by Bungie for all of their gaming needs. and the chuds will be rounded up into incel camps for state sponsored infaggoning.
why are jews so racist?
is travis that pencil neck dysgenic nerd from ign
>>736596649Good luck proving that it is I who wrote these anonymous posts lol
>>736596668I think that will happen yes
>>736591795If it was so good, you dumbfucks would be playing the game, not astroturfing on the one site that hates this shillfest dumpster fire
>>736591795Is this a bot thread? The posts don't even match what's on the screens./v/ became such a slop board fucking AI can pass as an actual poster.
>>736596509Meanwhile this was Hunt peak playercount 1 month after its release
>>736596684Envy
>>736594475so you got a gun, if you take that gun with you and you die, you lose it?
>>736596663>muh UI mark of the conquered>>736596732NOOOOOOOOOOOOO YOU WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO SHATTER MY NARRATIVE NOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>punishing without any incentive to git gudAren't CD bosses gear checks so you come back later? That's good game design, I love gateway encounters
>>736596745he's gonna lose it anyway with the wipe
>>736596706Travis Northup, very smart silicon valley guy
>>736596723it's scary isn't it, i could make a bot right now with my personality to respond to random posts, only solving the captcha for it
>>736596663I know right? At least certain games I could see the appeal of shilling for it, but this seems like the absolute worst hill to die on.
>>736596745yesthe solution is not dying
>>736591795Big Up to Northup for truth telling
>>736596790i should not have googled him, he looks like both a child and a chomo
>>736596663filtered>The game launched with THREE mapsAll of which being more varied than ArcCryo also had a delayed unlock to avoid sweatlords from rushing it, not because it's not launch content
>>736596663Well this guy who writes for IGN just admitted him and his reviewer buddies are pushing the game for political reasons, so I don't think Marathon fans really have anything to do with it
>>736596830Check out some of his posts he made on /v/ lmao >>736595983
>>736596841>All of which being more varied than ArcLmao, yea->Cryo also had a delayed unlock to avoid sweatlords from rushing it, not because it's not launch contentOh it was just a bait.
Bold to assume this game will be around for a goty

>>736596937Nowhere does it say the game winning GOTY needs to still be availableWhat a great world we live in where that's a genuine concern
>>736596663>Basic features are missing like bulk selling shit to vendorsholy shit you are fucking retardedyou can split stacks easily with the directional keys
>>736596989Why did you reply if you cannot even read what was posted? Work on those eyes before working those fingers.
>>736596663>I genuinely cannot understand this phenomenonOn one hand, it's journalists simply pushing their buddies' games. On the other hand, Bungie is like Bioware. Producing nothing but dogshit but fans going "n-no we have to play this because of the name"
>>736596987>game of the year>not available before the award is givenYeah this has and never will happen
>>736594393It will win because the awards are awarded by awardors (journalists). Who cares, it might cause an influx of few thousand norni3s for 3 minutes, only for them to see how shit the game is and go back to playing whatever they were on before. If Sony just hopes to pay their way out of this without Bungie pulling their fingers out of their assets, the game is as good as dead.Cd, on the other hand, will get character creator (currently already a mod out there) and some dlcs, maybe extensive mod support/tools if we're lucky and will be the next Skyrim.
I literally took Crimson Desert off my wishlist after all these paid shill threads.Can someone reccomend an actual good game instead?
>>736597051Crimson Desert
>>736597051No you didn't Travis, you have a key for a review copy you didn't use in your email
>Crimson Desert is good cause it sold well.Marvel, Mario and Barbie are the highest grossing movies of all time guess they are the best movies.
>>736597051Try Crimson Desert
>>736597051You should check out Crimson Desert
>>736597051Crimson Desert!
>>736595097Game journalism is a dead career, anybody who wants to hear about a game will look up their fav yt reviewer who tend to actually play the game. Not that a fraction of them aren't paid shills, but big media are all under someone's boot. The only way they can cover their monthly expenses is to sell out to whoever offers money
>>736597051Crimson Desert is what you're looking for
>>736597051This new game came out that's pretty fun, Crimson Desert I believe it's called. Journalists hate it, so you know it's going to be good.
>>736596876>marathon is so good, ign reviewers are shilling for it on /v/sony must be really desperate
>>736597173One of my friends is a gaming journalist, it's really dire. He gets paid like shit, and 80% of his work isn't reviews but stuff like "how do you get all the collectibles in new AAA game"
>>736597173Random youtubers also don't go on 4chan drunk bragging about rigging awards and giving games bad reviews because they hate "Coreans"
>>736597051I'm Commander Shepherd and Crimson Desert it's my favorite game on the Citadel!

>>736597237All this time I thought it was just a bunch of guys from afganistan or something doing all the shilling. Turns out it's retards from websites in california being used as slave labor on /v/ lmaoooooooooooooo
>>736597020shut up you subhumanwhat am I doing here?every single mouthbreather shitting on Marathon has always without fail 0 IQ
>>736597285That looks hideous
>8,664 players right now
>>736596732Hunt was under the radar and early access, wasn't it? I played it early, was good shit but it definitely wasn't shilled and force fed everywhere. Extraction shooters also were more niche in general.
I don't give a fuck about the latest AAA slop shooter, I wasn't gonna play it even if it was the second coming of TF2What really gets my goat is the constant shilling of its artstyle, how bold and exciting and other buzzwords it isIT LOOKS LIKE DOGSHIT
>>736597285Now try and sell multiple different items at the same time. You've spent 117 levels playing this fucking game and you're so retarded you jumped on to defend this dogshit because you don't understand basic features that are in every single other extraction shooter. You Bungie shiteaters are fucking insane man.
>>736597306It is.
>>736597361It looks like the art on pamphlets in the hospital where everyone is some kind of green person to avoid races feeling bad
>>736597362why the fuck would you sell multiple items, retard?
>>736597330HOLD THE LINE XISTERSJUST LAUNCH THE GAME WHEN YOU GO TO SLEEP AND BOOST THE NUMB-ACK
>>736596770Kinda, some of them are harder than others but I have only encountered a couple who weren't weak to force palm spam, and none who couldn't be outclearsouped with even my mediocre dodging skills. Haven't fought the big bad 3 yet, tho.
My weapon of choice here Marathon sisters. Hope I get to use it one more time before EoS...
>>736592453>huge tits mob face paper bag ladyMaybe Marathon isn't all bad
>>736596982This. I've never seen such mental illness before in 20 years here. Crimson Desert is objectively a terrible and shitty game, why is this retard so obsessed with it?
>>736597448That's the official Bungie corporate photo too. I can't believe they didn't ask someone to retake it.
>>736597413>come from a run>dump bunch of shit from my inventory to vault so I can jump on another run>later on have to make space because vault is full>can't CONTROL CLICK on 20 items at the same time and sell all with one press, instead of fucking holding F on every single one separatelyKill yourself you retarded Bungienigger for having to explain to you basic features. You calling anyone 0 IQ is the perfect example of the average subhuman retard mouthbreather on this board nowadays.
>>736597441Sounds pretty perfect then>can go full sweat and git gud at the boss>or become more powerful and come back laterIs the thing the """journalist""" mentioned something I gotta watch out for? If bosses are easily trivialized by just bringing hundreds of healing items, then I'm gonna put a cap on the amount of healing I let myself do
>>736597490JOURNOS LOSTGAMERS WONLOL
>>736597051Starfield. It just got engoodened
>>736597524I swear they actually let you heal often because journos complained. They should add a hard mode that restricts it. But yeah just fight well and you won't need to eat a ton of food like they did.

>>736597759kek more like Travis Fuckup after tonight
>>736597916Nigga replaced the em dashes with hyphens but forgot one lel. As if it wasn't obvious it was AI anyway
>>736597916lmao post prompt, my guess is:"I need a list of diverse equitable and inclusive games to suggest to a poster own the chuds on 4channel"
>>736597920MARATHON LIMBOEVERY BLASTHAVER GETS A TURN!HOW LOW CAN YOU GOHOW LOW CAN YOU GO
>>736597524The mod scene is still in its nappies, but there already is a mod that restores functionality of some pretty expansive food and healing system that was already in the game files. Pearl abyss had it all worked out, and for whatever reason didn't include it in the release.https://www.nexusmods.com/crimsondesert/mods/455Might want to make sure your saves are backed up tho
>>736598064I appreciate it but I'm not a gameplay mods on my first playthrough kinda guy
Always do opposite of what video game journalists say.
>marathon literally dipping to 4 digits on the primary platformthere's no salvaging such an uninspired game and I'm sure bungie leads are happy to be strongarming sony into funding some kind of bombastic 5 year long project now that their buyout deliverable is 'done'sony should really just fucking sue the old halo faggots at bungie for their net worth over this
>>736598029it's a real life battle royale. The last Marathon player gets flown to Bungie to work on Destiny 3 and free HRT.
>>736598129Any other journalists too, honestly. They're all a bunch of fucking liars.
>>736598136lmao
Crimson Desert is an objectively mediocre game with hit-or-miss puzzle design.The worst offender is literally "Here are 3 symbols and a map to show you where those symbols are. Now go there, look at them and come back here to rearrange them properly!"
>>736598136lmao the CEO was yelling that he's going to start chopping heads off and every dude at bungie thought they were getting a Tijuana Troonjob
>>736598208Don't you have work in the morning Travis? Oh wait...
>I will claim a mediocre game is actually goty to own the wokeOkay?
>>736591795literally take 10 seconds. and this guy writes for a living lol i might as well have become a game's journalist too.
>>736598276No that's just what you tried to do with marathon to own the chudsYou lost retard, go update your resume
>>736598372Both sides are retarded
>>736598276Mediocre doesn't mean bad. And Crimson Desert will probably be the best single player release this year.
The sad truth is that journalist aren't conspiring to push specific games for cash, they're trying to push the games they think people will like because it gives clicksThey're true believers in wokeshit so they always expect those games to do well
>>736598274It's the truth.The gameplay is fun and I like how the game encourages you to try new things. But damn, the characters are are bland as fuck and the story feels like it has been written by ChatGPT. Also, the game sucks at explaining those mechanics and it's buggy.Remember how the game tells you cats only like fish? Well, they don't. Grilled meat works just as fine. Also, they do the same as dogs, as in they loot for you. Then there's the gambling minigames that for some reason don't work.
>>736598415If GTA is delayed again
>>736598454>if
>>736598397No, just the retarded as hell journalist from IGN who came here tonight bragging about how he's been on /v/ for a month straight shilling marathon and trashing crimson desert for political purposes and then accidentally revealed who he was. Hating Marathon is the choice everyone but journalists made. You can like CD or not, I don't give a fuck.
>>736598419It's hilarious that they are shocked black woman yelling in your ears or gay demons having sex simulator does terribly every single time.
>>736598517And anons have been trashing marathon 24/7 since releaseBoth sides are retarded
>>736598517You lost
>>736598632Everyone always trashes bad games... except jews
>>736598632Yes, we trash shitty games because they deserve it. This is true for literally everything on Earth
>>736598775No you trash marathon constantly because of political reasons
>>736598819nah you're projecting, kys
>>736598819No, it gets trashed because it's shitty. It's shitty because the company is pushing politics instead of gameplay. Learn the fucking difference
>>736598819And? It's a shitty game for those reasons :)
>>736598882kek based
>>736598870>company is pushing politics instead of gameplayIt's an extraction shooterI don't know how it could have more politics than gameplay in it
>>736598998eat shitoh wait you played marathon already
>>736598998Politics on 4chan means there is a Black or Gay person in the game somewhere.
>>736599041Actually I haven't played it, but it looks funMaybe if the price drops
I don't understand how this game got wrapped up in the culture wars. I've played a good 80 hours of it and there's not really anything in it that's woke. Sure they have some diversity with the characters but it's less woke than apex and overwatch. Seems like the anti woke grifters just needed a new target.
>>736598998>I don't know how it could have more politics than gameplay in itMe neither, they worked really hard to make it happen
>>736599052being Travis Northup means there is a black gay person inside you somewhere
>>736599085There's a gay black dude at probably every company
>>736599117there's a black gay dude in your personal company
>>736599075It's just proof that culture war is absolutely retardedFilled with mindless sheep who never questions why they're targeting a game
>>736599117YES IN SAN FRANCISCO CALIFORNIA WHERE YOU WORK YOU FUCKING FAG GOD DAMN I BET YOU GET WALKED AROUND BY THIS DUDE ON A LEASH AT LUNCH
>>736599173I'm in eastern europe doe
>>736599167Damn imagine your game failing because of the opinion of retarded mindless sheep, must sting>>736599173While you're imagining all the black gays, how many of them are producers of video games?
>>736598998Cultural Marxism exists whether you believe it or not
>>736599173Get a job
>>736599202Just this guy from bungie who is obviously your closet deposit Travis
>>736599202I'm a fence sitter, saying you lost your side lost won't work on me because I hate both sidesCome up with something new
I'm mainly making fun of Marathon because to release another extraction shooter is such a shitty idea it can only come from a multimillion dollar company. People probably wouldn't mind the game if it had a cool single player campaign and a multiplayer mode (with extraction included). You know, like Halo in the olden days used to have. The artstyle is just the artstyle, you can love it or hate it.
If the Crimson Desert devs are upset about the low review scores then why didn't they just pay review outlets more money instead of wasting it on shills here?
>>736599281Marathon fucking sucks and so do journalists. Conveniently you are both failing hard lol
>>736592886What happened for it to blow up even past pandemic?
This is the first time I've seen a game where by all accounts people really like it that flopped for no reason.And this isn't even a Titanfall 2 situation where it got sent out to the wolves. Marathon had free runway with its release and yet even people who apparebtly love the game don't want to play it anymore. What the fuck did Bungie do lmao.
>>736599329Yeah they suck, but so do you I have no stakes in this so I can't really fail
>>736598998
>>736599381okay travis you fooled everyone see you tomorrow
>>736599376uhh bro arc raiders came out a few months ago
>>736599360Nothing? It just slowly gets more popular overtime with spikes after every Valve major.
>>736599360Valorant unironically. That game introduced a ton of new people to CS-style ganeplay that eventually just tried out and liked Counter Strike.
>>736599403
how's the in game economy on this game anyway?
>>7365994908k out of 8 billion people are playing this. The chance of one of them being ITT might as well be 0
>>736599490god bad news for you about that
>>736599167The anti woke movement was at first a cultural movement but has now devolved into an industry. An industry ran by anti woke grifters who whip people up into a frenzy to cash in on their impressions.
>>736599376marathon has dogshit design that rears it uglyhead the more you play itand not in an ASSFAGGOTS kind of waybut in a im wasting my fucking time kind of way
>>736599075the problem is that the game is objectively bad but all the criticism will be deflected because it got tangled up in the culture war stuff, so the same mistakes will continue to happen
8007 was the low point of today, it will most likely go below that tomorrow and then have a small increase until dropping further next week
>>736599490what do you mean?
>>736599490what economy?It's an extraction shooter. You go in naked, and if you win, you earn some gear. Then you bring that gear into the next game to hopefully win some more gear, or lose it all.If you play the limited FOMO weekend map, you get the best gear that rapes everyone else in the game.If you die, the cheater that killed you gets your rapegear anyway and you are back to square 1.Next month they are removing everyone's items anyway.
>>736599606>the problem is that the game is objectively badin which way?> but all the criticism will be deflected because it got tangled up in the culture war stuffypur favourite game has worse steam reviews than Marathon
>>736599597>in an ASSFAGGOTS kind of wayidk what it is, but despite hating aspects of them, I can continue to play MOBAs, yet BR and specially extractslop feel like an infuriating waste of time somehow.
>>736599625>Next month they are removing everyone's items anyway.Call me dumb but what's the point of playing then? Do you get some cool skins?
>>736599617>>736599625Shouldn't it have an equivalent to Tarkov's flea market? is there no way to sell the loot you get?
>>736599614kek so they're running 8000 bots? holy shit
>>736599674To shoot people
>>736599674cool? fuck noget skins? maybe. If you paid real money, otherwise no.
>>736599674You're supposed to play for the fun gameplay loop, the forced resets are so the top players can't just sit on their OP shit forever
>>736599674>what's the point of playing then?the act of looting and fighting is fun, the game is designed with a vault cap so you need to either lose or sell gear for value>Do you get some cool skins?season level based yeah
>>736599674I'd be more worried about the end of service than the character wipes at this point. You'd have to be a huge moron to think this game will last.
>>736599692Yeah, but if you lose all the gear in the end anyway what's the point? Is there some incentive to keep playing after the first wipe?>>736599692You can do that in Arc Raiders too AND you get to keep your gear
>>736599679there's a sell function yeah
>>736599674The only way to have fun is to have a successful game, so you escape with items, then bring those items from minute 1 into the next match to have an advantage over naked players and continue winning.If you are starting over, or just lost and have no items, then all you can do is be fodder to those who do have gear.That's the core experience of extraction shooters, it's like when in MMOs like WoW a level 90 retard sometimes goes to the level 10 area to indiscriminately kill and camp new players.There's people who voluntarily choose to pay $40 for that experience now.
>cntl + F: Travis>60 resultsHow did this game rape and mindbreak /v/ so badly?
>>736599753To shoot peopleDo you also think quake and unreal tournament is pointless because there's no loot to keep?
>>736599606i dont know. probably my favorite multiplayer shooter in years.
>>736599761>the people who play more easily win because of better itemsSo it's Team Fortress 2?
>>736599664because despite all the dogsjit ASSFAGGOTS still have high skill ceilings that feel fun to learn when matchmaking doesnt bend you overextraction shooters are not skillful whatsoever, theyre just obtuse and annoying
>>736599773welcome back Tardvis, I thought you had left the board already. Were you just busy giving People of Note a 10?
>>736592018>Avowed only a 7What a plebeian. 7 is the absolute minimum score you can give the game without looking like a clown. GOTY 2025 and I don't care what the paid journos say.
>>736599787>it's not hard it's le annoyingyup, filtered
>>736599785You can still stomp in TF2 with default loadouts. BR/Extract are built around basic gear being worthless against better gear. And dying in TF2 doesn't remove all the stuff you earn.
>>736599819What a coincidence, I just finished my first ever playthrough of Pillars 1 literally yesterday. Gonna play 2 first but I'm looking forward to Avowed
>>736599787I guess you're right. Other than point and shoot (with aim assist lmao), all these games have going for them is the RPG-like gear progression. A player with a starting peashooter is never beating a retard with Cryo Archive gear or other games' equivalent. All stats no skill.
>>736596805just don't die in a game infested with cheaters lol
>>736599718>>736599719>>736599761Maybe I'm just old but why not simply steal the formula from Fortnite? Everyone starts at 0 and you loot gear on the map. When the round is over, you lose said gear. Maybe you can get crafting materials on the map to craft keys to unlock skins and shit in crates scattered on the map. Or for research to get those skins.If the gameplay is fun you don't immediately exclude all the people who like FPS games but hate that shitty HURRDURR YOU LOSE ALL YOUR GEAR IF YOU DIE, CASUAL thing
>>736599906That is quite literally (not a joke) what Highguard did
>>736599773Well you came onto 4chan and accidentally told everyone you work at IGN and that you're a total fag who rigs scores and then deleted all your posts so we're making fun of you about it.>>736595983For anyone who wants to read all about it
>>736599780No. But in neither of those games you get to keep the rocket launcher and take it with you to the other round to curbstomp people who don't have one.
>>736599906Everyone already tried doing the own fortnite, and most companies doing it crashed and burned. Just like hero shooters and MOBAs before them, only the first couple in the gold rush succeed, so now everyone's sucking off the teat of extractslop, trying to make it the next big thing, when no one sane likes the genre.
>>736599935I don't understand why you keep saying that image shows they rig scores. All he said was that it's journalists who decide the GOTY which is public knowledge, the awards are mostly decided by journo vote
>>736599957Even Fortnite's starting to fail at being Fortnite.
>>736599930Never played that game since it looked boring. To be fair, I never played Marathon either.I'm just wondering why they don't just make a normal multiplayer FPS game instead of all the monthly wipes shit
>>736599972>theystay strong Travis I'm sure nobody at the company will mind
>>736599972Fagis Turdup himself said he wanted to give Crimson Desert a 3 but his editor forced him to give it a 6 to avoid gamer backlash in the previous thread.
>>736599991They can't. Companies only hire people like Travis now so they always fail.
>>736591935>reviewers are on the take and managed to keep this conspiracy for decadesUh, wasn't this what gamergate and GJP was about?
>>736600007Okay dude, whatever. Just be aware that the game awards are just journalists deciding shit instead of being surprised when more dogshit wins this year>>736600017Include that in the screenshot then
>>736599906The risk of losing gear is what drives the whole sandbox gameplay and stops it from being a brainless shooter.Losing gear is a setback, not the end of the world. You gambling with it can pay off or not, but by all means it will always be your fault if you get caught lacking and come out empty handed
>>736599957You know what often worked for the last 20 years or so? A normal FPS game with normal multiplayer modes. Sure, some people might think they are a little uninspired but stuff like capture the flag or gungame is still fun and will appeal to a lot more people than extraction shit.
>>736600029Yep, and some massive retard from IGN came here on 4chan just a few hours ago and bragged about doing the same thing and how nobody can stop them. What a hero for journo kind.
>>736595983>steamcharts newfags getting trolled by an anonymous poster saying they're a reviewer >make a schizo chart over it with a deleted post being the only proofHAHAHAHAHAHAHA The Raped.
>>736599991The art of making good games has been lost for over a decade.Every game now needs something to chase in order to retain players. It started with achievements, then progression systems, then battle passes and seasons. Wipes are just part of that. Force players to grind progression/gear, then frame taking all that way as a positive, putting them back at the beginning of the treadmill, and gaslighting them to enjoy it.If all these games removed seasons, passes, and all that bloat, nobody would play them because the underlying gameplay is dogshit.
>>736599991Because they wanted to make an extraction shooter, not another HaloNobody understands why they spent multiple hundreds of millions of dollars in salaries alone for years making this shit
>>736600047You have nothing to worry about Travis, they don't fire people until Friday.
>>736594562>even as master chief shares the spotlightthis one is blatant because it shows how he got "the signal" to review this game well. he could tell it was subversive shit meant to destroy the franchise from the fact that MC got cucked out of Halo, that's (part of) why he gave it this glowing review. the cultists have the same or a similar radar for subversion as us knowers. they can tell when their fellow cult members are taking over and wrecking games and movies and they rush to their aid automatically.>Gears 4 [...] is in the right handsrunning to the aid of a tranny-run studio and making sure to emphasize it. he's not just praising the game, he is emphasizing that the people behind it are what he is praising. allegiance signaled.>Witcher 3 [...] sendoff for Geraltthat's in 2016. meanwhile actual fans of the franchise were still coping that the Ciri stuff isn't so bad (it is, Ciri sucks) and Geralt will surely be in Witcher 4 like a year ago. he knew in 2016 when he played the forced Ciri segments that CDPR were burying Geralt and replacing him with a lame, gay girlboss for good, the same way I knew. except he is FOR it.>>736595983isn't the dude in the top left of that image a tranny now, too? tick tock, travis, you're next. time to sacrifice your dick for the cause.
>>736600062You tried that last night Travis, it didn't work then either.
>>736600051I think there's a very small subset of FPS players who want to play that way.I know I don't. And I think Bungie found out a lot about how little people are actually interested in those games too.
>>736600110Exactly. It just proves that every single choice they make is a fuck you to the industry they claim to work for, so any company would be retarded to hire them because consumers do the opposite of what they say.
>>736600110>running to the aid of a tranny-run studio and making sure to emphasize itGears 4 the one with screaming woman.avi as the trailer, right? Fucking kek
>open marathon thread>80% of the posts are made by a single anon seething about a guy named Travis >and he's built a dossier of anonymous 4chan posts to support his delusion 4chan is a magical place, schizophrenia of this magnitude can only be cultivated here
>>736592758>Even botting he loses all his shield and half his hp to 1 hit.Fucking wild how troons defend this hunt showdown clone. Hunt is objectively the better game in all aspects.
>>736600189Hi Travis
>>736600160that's Gears 5. Gears 4 still had a dude as the protag but was forgettable movie-graphics-slop and made by the same studio. Gears 4 was stealthy about it, Gears 5 is what you get if you accept Gears 4.
>>736600209>bottingHe's not aimbotting, that's the normal aim assist
>>736600189womp womp journo melty in progress
>>736600189do you just get off baiting replies, or do you genuinely think you pass for a different user?
>>736600209Oh yes, Hunt, famously cheater-free gameLol
>>736599821It is lmaoTurn Marathon into an arena shooter and you instantly how shallow the combat is
Hold on a sec. Travis or Traxus?
>>736600250He's got a massive amount of hubris, they all do.
>>736600070>The art of making good games has been lost for over a decade.I don't think it has been lost. E33 was in my opinion an objectively fun and good game. And the people who worked on it were working for Ubisoft before that.I think the problem is that the higher ups see video games as a revenue stream and set up their games to mainly be just that. They don't play games and they certainly don't play the games they make.The situation would drastically improve if thex get people on the helm who like video games as a hobby. Then you get games they'd like to play.
>Barry has now created an entirely new schizophrenic identity named Travis so he can masquerade in other threads and continue to enhance his shitposting personaSuch a Barry thing to do
>>736600401What about Eric?
>>736600250>>736600231>he's already at the point where he's samefag replying to every post questioning his theory so he can pretend that everyone shares his revelationEvery time it's the same tactic too Don't even try inspect element editing the screenshotting btw
>>736600356Singleplayer in general is faring better, I agree. Multiplayer though, they all die/would die without fomo retention systems, as Marathon is proving. Deadlock might be the only one in a while I play out of enjoyment, since it doesn't have any bullshit to grind for.
>>736600062>1992. kill nazis. nazis are german stereotype cartoon characters.kino>2019. kill nazis. nazis are strawmen. girls get it done, chuds.no thanks
>>736600467your nuance is lost on the kind of "people" who make those comics.
>>736600450I wonder if Bungie would have had a better chance if they just did a Deadlock and went alpha really fucking early especially when Destiny 2 was still kicking
>>736600501>"nuance" okay Travis, nazis are still bad
i think people dont actually like extraction shootersthey just like the thrill of high stakes encounters that dont necessarily have to be PvPim actually seeing a trend now across the genre where the playerbase is slowly leaning more and more into PvE even in fucking Tarkovand I think this just means what people actually want is DayZ but in the modern era
I don't play MPslop so someone needs to explain this to me: Everyone says this game is made for a hardcore audience. Same as Highguard, they said it was made to be an esport. That's fine, if the devs wanna make a sweaty game, they can go aheadBut why spend $400M on it?
>>736597051About 50 hours into Crimson Desert. Its pretty fun I'd say you should try that one.
>>736598415Are things really so bad that a mediocre early access game is the front-runner for GOTY?
>>736600562Yeah this is it. People want to LARP in a hardcore environment.Competitive PvP is just an aspect of that LARP.
>>736600568GOTTA SPEND MONEYTO MAKE MONEYit's mostly because western video game development is bloated as fuck credits for western made games last hour plus on average now
>>736597051Black Desert
>>736600621>early access gamewat
>>736600568No one knows what the budget was. If it cost $400M that would make it the 8th most expensive video game budget in history. Highly doubt it.
>>736600132I don't think that's true. These gamea have waves of players that come and go with updates and usually never peak on release.I don't think they should care either. Battle Royale and Arena shooters like Concord and Highguard flop all the time but Marathon released to 100k concurrent, so there's clearly a market for a growing game.Also if developers only tried to ever pander to the lowest common denominator, no game would stand out and only the top 3 would get any attention
>>736600664How many devs worked on it? For how many years? What's the absolute lowest yearly salary for a software dev in California?
>>736600568>But why spend $400M on it?Which Asmongoloid video said this?
>>736600703>>736600696Go ahead and answer those 3 questions
>>736600562Go back to the genre roots.Bring back zombies from dayz and ARMA milsim autism.
>>736591795>>736591823He isn't wrong about crimson desert. Nothing he said there is false. If the devs made it so food had a cooldown and/or an animation like an estus flask, everyone praising the game would start shitting their pants because they couldn't mash the heal button. Watch any yt/stream of a boss fight in this game and it's just:>Camera wedging itself into corners and losing tracking worse than metal gear rising.>Screen going dark constantly because devs thought this would be a "cool" effect to add and totally not vomit inducing and annoying.>Damage sources you can't see because of the above + chip damage from the ether.>Mashing food button.>Using revive orbs (lol)The vast majority of gameplay time is running to different places and mowing down hordes of bandits and other humanoid mooks. You can HOLD THE ATTACK BUTTON to win these fights and none of the other dozens of moves matter beyond "looking cool".>>736591935>>736592018He is wrong about those other games though. How he gave high guard and concord such high scores is obviously personal bias because he just LOVES extraction shooters and apex legends, or paid reviews.>>736600209Crosshair not in center of screen + cheats galore.
>>736600778>Watch any yt/streamlol
>>736593449lemao get a real job faggot
>>736600661Oh sorry I'm talking about Crimson Desert.Should have been more clear.

>>736600696It had a 5-6 year development timeline. First with a smaller incubation team and then scaling up to 300 in the last year of development. The game isn't made in California. Bungie is in Bellevue, WA. Lowest salary is probably 100k.
>>736592126no way you don't say how could it be if only we knew
>>736600809Be a contrarian faggot all you want, there is no better way to see how the public is playing the game.

>>736600670This was the first webm that i realy liked.Smoth moves, fair fire fight.Glad to see that the game can be fun sometimes.
>>736601014The game is incredibly fun
>>736600975Who the fuck says he's done with gaming because his favorite shitty game didn't pull enough steamcharts numbers? Just play some of the hundreds of 5+ year old games on your backlog
>>736600987Oh okay. I was trying to answer your question but I see youre just a faggot who wasn't asking it in good faith.
>>736601080You're the one who arrived at $150M as an absolute minimum before you even factor in marketing, panicked, then said "t-those 300 devs were totally just doing nothing for 5 of those 6 years"
>>736600051>some retard posting a clip of thermal longshot with Live, Laugh, Love tier platitudes
>>736591795>cause the Crimson Desert boss fights are annoying and not fun>Punishing without any incentive to git gud this guy is literally not a gamerhes just wants instant gratification just like the rest of his journo clique and want games where the rule or mechanics are immediate recognizablethey cant be arsed to adjust to a game or learn to play it properlythey want the game to adjust itself to THEMno wonder they have destroyed the reputation of many video gamey gamesthese people have no business being the voice of gaming media and gamers
Cheating has genuinely killed all competitive shooters for me. You literally cannot escape it on mouse & keyboard and it's still somewhat of a factor on console
Anyone else notice how all the Travis posts just suddenly stopped? OP must have finally gone to bed. He's all tuckered out, poor lil fella
travis is losing his mind still lol
>>736601506Go back to sleep
>>736600975>people are done with gaming because half baked extraction slop trying to cash in on a genre is not doing too wellInsane cultists.
