So what are you waiting for? It’s the perfect time to get it and join just in time for the first global wipe
>imagine paying full price on release just one month ago
No, thanks thougheverbeit.
I wouldn't pay for it, even if it were fucking free.
Why did marathon lose and destiny 1 won?
So desperate to hit any sort of milestone like "1 million copies sold!" to please investors that they have to do this so soon.It's sad.
>>737405454But anon, they will soon report 500k discord groomers!!!
>>737405323I might download one of those see through walls cheats and ruin it for retards when it does go free.
>>737404595Wow 8 whole extra dollars
>>737404595There was 3 times more players back then though.
>>737406273Wasting your time cheating in a dead game would make you more retarded than any Marathon shill. Do literally anything else.
>>737404491No.
>>737404491Wait Marathon was a paid game not f2p?
>>737406273there is already an unlimited range wallhack sniper in the vanilla game.
#1 most searched game on steamdb
>19808 peakHOLD
>>737406657It went up from yesterday?! Sale success!
>>737404491this is tough for bungie. there's no way they win. keep it full price and the player count will continue fizzling til it hits the point of no return. going f2p means bad pr and no profit (the chuds win). this small discount just stops the bleeding for a few weeks. they basically should have just made a different game, a halo style campaign with chill deathmatch online modes could have been massive. sony should rip the bandaid off and include it with psplus, they can at least spin it as part of their "portfolio of service games" for investors
>>737404595>full pricejokes on you, I bought the deluxe edition and had a blast
>>737404595I know, $7 is like a weeks salary for your people.I also paid $32 pre release because it's been $32 for 3 months on gmg so this changes nothing.
>>737404491>buy this bad game because it's cheap now!No.
>>737405420They made Destiny because they wanted to do something new. They made Marathon because they no longer wanted to make Destiny. These two might sound the same, but if you really think about it they're very different.
Ctrl-F "blast" 1/1Fuck you guys
>>737407514But why did marathon lose and destiny 1 won?
>>737404491Still the same price on PS5. The lower price is only on Xbox and PC.
>>737404491lol, insane flop.
>>737405420Destiny 1 was made by straight white men.
>>737406657destiny 2 is at 12k btwin a month marathon is over
>>737406341lmao you're seething
>>737406657It’s stable chud
>>737404491More like FLOPATHON, am I right, guize?
>>737404491i got the game for free and i still feel ripped off
>>737404491>19,811 peak. Slight increase of yesterday's peak of 19,362Oh my science! The comeback must be studied
>less than 20k peak players for the second day in a rowgonna have to do better than 6 dollars off, lmao
THEY GOT A MASSIVE 500 PLAYER BUMP AT PEAK HOLY MOLY WE BLASTINstill under 20k though but thats A OK
>>737406551more people are watching this game crash and burn than playing it
>>737404491>sub 20k highs now>sub 6k lowsit's going great
I played insurgency for literally years with an Australian player count <200.
lmao the sale didnt do shitstill bleeding players
>>737404491lollmao even
>>737410809Insurgency didn't even cost a million to makemarathon was 250million plus Sony tip
>>737410869I dont care what a game cost to make though
>>737410869why should i care about that
>>737404491Lmao faggots actually paid full price for this trendchasing slop
>>737410889The publishers do, and they're the ones funding further support of the game which also means servers. Think you can play Concord right now big dog?
>>737410921then ill play something else?
>>737410916what do you think happens to online games without unofficial self-host servers once they fail?sony won't give you a refund once they pull the plug
>>737410916See: >>737410921
>>737404491playing an extraction shooter really has a unique way of making you question what the fuck the point of playing the game even is, i put like 50 hours into the game but i cant play it for more than 1 round now since i know it will all just be wiped and theres nothin gto do in the game except be a rat on a wheel
>>737410962numbers go up only matters if the numbers stay up?it's the journey not the destination, it's why roguelikes are the most popular thing on earth right now.
>>737410945i go play something else?
>>737407248>t. 3rd worlder trying to grasp at any straw of superiority so they don't brutally kill themselvesit's not even worth playing for free, broski.
>>737410998roguelikes may be popular but marathon sure isnt, its boring to play and feels like theres nothing to do
>>737411171you can criticize marathon for whatever but it's not boring, people dont like it because it's too stressful and it feels really bad to lose.those things aren't "boring", they hurt too much for the average person to bare.
>>737411226I think people are burnt out on le extraction le shooter. Same goes for grinding ranks for some shitty hero shooter.
>>737411226i can definitely call the game boring because when i play it im bored
>>737411262I dont think people are burnt out the genre, I think the genre is polarizing in the first place.for an extraction shooter to even make sense MOST people have to lose a match, which means most people get the bad feeling of losing and stop playing if they keep losing.the only reason ARC did well is because they put all the competitive people in their own instances so for everyone else it's just dads wandering a map being nice to each other, which is a softer experience.>>737411285I dunno how you can be bored in a game in this genre, the tension is essentially anti-boredom, there's plenty of reasons to not like extraction shooters but boredom is a weird one.
Bungie made a shit battle royale with an extractuon shooter skin
FUCK YOU CHUDS I'M HAVING A BLAACK
>>737404491It was foretold
>>737411972back to /pol/ tourist
I'm blasting at an affordable price
>>737408632Because Destiny was made out of passion and Marathon out of desperation, i told you already.
BLASTHAVERS WE ARE EATING GOOD
>>737412023>everyone I don't like is le /pol/
>>737412212i know right? that board was a mistake
>>737411972the fucking :0 guys on the background make it extra funny
>>737406341PCgaymers become incredibly price conscious after dropping $2k on their rig. Yet keep flexing that they spent $2k on thier rig. PC meta is to work/save enough money for PC then go full NEET mode for next couple of years. They will come up with excuses not to buy a controller or a monitor/tv that can actually showcase thier graphics cards on in the name of being pc fundamentalists, but its just poorfag cope. 70% of pcfags live like this
>>737404491It’s on sale on Steam too, wow. I boughted.
>>737411445It's a genre that shunts a majority of players. Even worse, nobody is interested in THAT genre developed by Bungie who couldn't even properly manage a PVE game. I'd shit on dad gamers as well, but honestly, I prefer them over the asshats who live and breathe games like this. They're not fun in the long-term.
MAN WE GOT OUR WIVES KIDS TO FEED BUY THE FUCKING GAME ALREADY
>>737410826And there are STILL shills out here who think this game was a success.
>>737409332Hopefully, with these shit numbers, it will turn into shut-down-athon.
It's over
>>737412917Season 2 will fix everything. Trust the plant. rusted planner
>>737404491No thanks anon, I just don't care for games like Marathon
>>737404595they had a blast im sure
>>737412351Unironically.I spend big money ony my battlestation BECAUSE I can cheap out on games in the longterm.

Should I get this, Pragmata or Battlefield 6?Or should I play the gings I already ooo.
>>737416949Play everything
>>737404491What's the blast per dollar ratio now that the game is on sale?
>>737416949Battlefield sucks, Pragmata is alright if you like nuGOW or children, play that first if you want to participate in the new latest thing discussions.Marathon is worth playing for the banger lore and OST alone, you can get a key for cheap. Or just wait for another sale or free weekend next month.

>>737417154Ironically spamming the same buzzwords makes you equally annoying as them
I think they should have made a campaign. Like a big cool thing. MMO or whatever. They wasted the hype. This could have been the defining style of the entire future.
>>737417215The original concept for the game was quasi-MMO. Blame Ziegler for slopping it up with competitive and hero shooter garbage.
>>737417248*Adds "Ziegler" to The Naughty List.>>737417265Trannies, homos, psychologists etc try to claim any cool thing. Rainbows, synthetics, creativity.Doesn't mean cool things are gay.
>>737417265>players/watcherswhat the fuck does this even mean
>>737417428they open streams to pad the category, as if bungie couldn't afford a few thousands of bots if they gave a damn
>>737417215I've got a long post about the marketing failures of Marathon in me, but I'm busy right now, but yeah, a simple SP campaign with the barebones BR-ES thing they've got now would have sold a lot more. The Marathon name isn't doing this game any favors, and now that they've released this, they can't go back.
>>737417428People who idle the game at main menu to boost playercounts and people who open streams and mute them on twitch to boost the playercount. Truth is stranger than fiction
>>737416949Pragmata
I think the only people that hate this game are retarded old people treating this game like politics like they must blindly support it and anyone that hates it is evil woke tranny. Every hobby I am part of is starting to devolve into this. My local sports team's subreddit calls anyone critical of the team a tranny leftist. What is going on with people today why is it like this?
>>737418352>What is going on with people today why is it like this?Humans are inherently religious and Conservativsm has a hierarchy (within corporations and government), dogmatic and heretical principles, and flags and icons. It nefariously plays on peoples' same sense of goodness and justice as conventional religion, but instead of encouraging good human impulses for building community, it perverts these aspects of our personality an realigns them with "preferred races/genders/sexualities".So in this context, those people have realigned the team to be part of their church. Whatever got them making those accusations was obviously something heretical to the pillars of the Conservative church.
>>737418352I blame twitter. The way rightoids arguing against anyone that disagrees with them. The same shaming and insult tactics they use for all topics now. You hate PI Mouse for Hire? You are a tranny journo. They have attached being critical of anything to being a leftist. That shit should be studied.
>>737418575>>737418429>>737418352You guys are retarded.Even the very people who went to bat for this game are quitting it. There's a reason it already lost a majority of its playerbase barely a month in.
Blasting off again. Wish me luck V!
>>737418352>What is going on with people today why is it like this?Terminal internet exposure.
>>737404491>tranny slop>bungo slop >extraction slopSlop slop slop
Everyone seems to be having a blast with the game (even if they are not playing it)
>>737404491I don't wanna.
>>737408686Update: It's 20% off on PSN now too.
>M-MUH CULTURE WARDamn coping niggasBungie just made a shit game thats niche too
>>737419079Can be both
>>737418352It's like TDS but with "Woke"
>>737419079I genuinely do not care about bungie at all one way or the other, they made half of a good game
>>737404491>So what are you waiting for? If they offer me $20, I will accept the game into my library.
No bazz no play
>>737419131You dont lose like 70% of your already hardcore playerbase bevause of culture war shit broThe game is fundamentally flawed
>>737419079not much of a war if the right lost this badly huh
>>737419185tsmt
>>737419042literally who cares about mutt politics? you'll get a child raping zionist regardless of who you're voting for

>half the thread is seething about muh trannies>"WOOOOWWW why are you bringing up unrelated dogshit?"Post chin, I know it's tiny and weak.
>>737419316Like I said, you dont launch to 80k ccu, lose that shit in a month, and lose money because of culture war shitAt best it had like 5% influence but Bungie plagiarising shit and Sony fucking up Concord did the damage more than chvds ever could
Back @ it. Wiped some eurokiddies last run. Quiet crew but they knew what's up.
what was the last videogame you played?
>>737411105>man flipping his shit over people supposedly losing 8 dollars>not a poorfag and or thirdyNice deflection, queer.I'm sorry that you suck at pvp but the game is only as bad as you are.
>>737418352>get screwed by corporatism single handedly killing AAA gaming by trying to appeal to normies>game flops because normies, the intended audience, aren't buying into formula anymore nor are they buying into this extremely niche genre>oh no save me chuds, jk actually we hate you because you didn't buy this game we explicitly said wasn't for youMaybe if normies put a single modicum of thought into why people hate them for shitting up their hobbies this wouldn't be a recurring cycle of corporate exploitation and disappointment.

Got owned by blues. They couldn't resist shooting bots. Rip
>>737404491Marathon is an example of "big-league" gaming
>>737406524What's the downside? That sounds like pure cancer.
>guise let's make another pvpve game!!1!>do we split the game into PvP and pve separate so on one hand we have PvP sweatlords and on the other we have dads playing "grab shit off tables: the game"?>or do we have only combined servers where the second audience is chased away by the first?the corps somehow keep thinking that this will be some cash cow genre but how do they get over this question in the first fucking project meeting?
>>737419658>$8>not that grandioseLike I said that's a weeks salary for the average /v/ poster now. It's only natural he had a reaction like that.>>737418352Everything is politics now and the truly retarded treat it like sports teams.It's a consequence of low IQ people getting their opinions from the collective and social media has been trending towards negativity for over a decade since it gets the most views and clicks.Twitterfags are a blight on every website now because of this.
>>737420072>Like I said that's a weeks salary for the average /v/ poster now. It's only natural he had a reaction like that.Let me guess, part and parcel for living in big AAA gaming?
>>737420072I’m really sorry very few people were interested in your mediocre game made by faggots and transsexuals. Perhaps the game would of have done better if triage had a big nappy Afro
>>737404491I feel like as a developer I would never even bother creating an extraction shooter unless my studio could generate a procedural layout for the maps with handcrafted set pieces in different places across the environment each day. You can build on a huge feature like that to enhance variety even further but static maps become solved in a week.
Outland is a thing of beauty
>>737420330Lol its still halo.
>>737404491Why scifi aesthetics are so fucking ugly and lame this days? What happened with the colorful-joyful aesthetics of the 50s and 60s?
>>737419732How am I wrong
>>737420281Knowing the map is half the battle of extraction shootersNever post again, please
>>737420180I was thinking more like living in central America or India; but yeah that works too.>>737420240I am very sorry for your total lack of friends and ability to socialize with others.Perhaps you should work on your shortcomings instead of replacing an interesting personality with babbling about perceived troons.
>>737420362No, Marathon has good movement, ttk and shooting
>>737420362No Marathon is an RPG
>>737418352As someone who hates woke shit, but dont think Marathon is woke in the slightest, and is honestly an incredible game… i can’t blame the internet for having this premature reaction towards the game. Western developers including Bungie, ESPECIALLY Bungie, have been injecting politics into their games for over a decade now, vilifying all who questioned that decision. In a way, they kinda deserve this. It just sucks that Marathon as a game has to suffer for it.
Can I hope for 10K peak? Is it possible?
>>737420582>Bro it's against le wokeYeah? Is that why Helldivers 2 and Arc Raiders made bank while being full of nonwhites? It has nothing to do with politics, PVP is a shitter filter and most people are too retarded and inept to play a game like Marathon and too poor to dump 50 dollars on a game that is not some surefire bet and game for everyone. The second Destiny 3 releases with black and foids everywhere those spics will flood to it
>>737404491I'm just happy it flopped so more wokies can put fries in the bag.
Pragmata still on top 10 of most sold btwMarathon didn't even move the needle
I can't believe they managed to sell Destiny 2 PvP as a 40 bucks dlc.
>>737419042Gerrymandering is gay on both sides
>>737418352>>737418575This subhuman literally copypasted his posts from earlier lmfao
Bungie will be raped. Marathon will fall. Marakeks will commit mass suicide after being gaped by the doomgods. It is inevitable, embrace it.
>>737422003and i can't believe it cost $200 million to make it
>>737420853people really get their opinions from niggas like this
literally everyone hated bungie whenever all that gay deleted destiny 2 dlc shit happened, but now suddenly they have a bunch of people sweeping for them again and i'm supposed to believe it's organic
>>737420853That's the kind of skills that makes him a VN streamer.
>>737405454Didn't they have 1.2 mil sales already? Or was that 1.2mil usd made? Kek
>>737422964I didn't play Destiny, didn't even play Halo, I don't care for Bungie. You're the one bringing up your baggage about the studio and unrelated grudges, I just judge a game I played.
>>737404491 Will a PVE game mode SAVE marathon?
>>737423686No
>>737404491When the devs with families get laid off, the party that holds the overwhelming majority of the responsibility are the devs who made western AAA synonymous with ugly, annoying, mediocre games that fail to excite the average gamer. For many of these devs, they should be pointing the finger at the mirror.Gamers have no obligation to be polite to an industry that has no respect for their own craft or for them, the paying customers.>Maybe if you want respect, you should try gaslighting yourself into thinking that the pile of feces that we're trying to force feed you is actually chocolate cake and thank us for the privilege of getting to eat it!Fuck off.The industry really needs to focus in on the word "excite". You want your customers, who are predominantly male, dreaming about your game, thinking about it at work, and losing sleep over the prospect of playing it. That's your job. The guys who would get excited for these hideous designs are extreme outliers. A game studio embracing feminism and going to war with the male fantasy is like a carpenter embracing anarcho-primitivism and going to war with people who like furniture.Anime is dominating because it's the last refuge for entertainment that gets guys excited.
>>737423909Terminal culture warism
>>737424031Gaslighting piece of shit.

>Went on sale >Playercount increased by like 200 Embarrassing
>>737423909Marathon is excellent and a product of passion. There's nothing mediocre about it, it's excellent in any wayIs one of the best shooters in the market right now and your brainrot post is entirely driven by a shallow negative engagement agenda. You don't care about the industry or gamesThe fact that try to pretend you are some paladin of a righteous cause and not a broke faggot who buys the latest open world big AAA slop. There's no way this game could have ever pandered to you because you would never play a risky project and demanding game like this. Same reason RTS and fightan are basically dead and every single extraction, even Tarkov, had to cave in to PVE faggots. You are the definition of soulless slop-eating golemoid
>>737425508in awe at the fallout of this trvke
>>737423686A barebones PvE mode? Maybe by like 10%. I think a well thought out Roguelike mode is the better solution. Kind of like Witchfire.
>>737425508He didn’t say any of this
Siva would save marathon
>>737424552SHUT UP YOU EVIL CHUDDADS OF MARATHON™ WILL SAVE THE PLAYERCOUNT THIS WEEKEND
>>737422981No nothing official, the only thing they officially acknowledged was the 400k groomers on discord
This is never a good sign. Games ins 100% in desperation mode. Feel bad for the retards taking the hair seriously and putting 100+ hours into an account they won't be able to Access in the very near future.
>>737425771>taking the hair seriously??
>>737425508>You don't care about the industrywhy the fuck would I?
>>737425923Because you're on /v/?
Just a reminder for all the 'dead game' folks, the original talking point was that it was 'dead on arrival'then dead in week 1then dead in week 2then dead in week 3then dead in week 4then dead in month 2There's people in this thread now talking about sony investor calls and shit because beleive it or not this was never another concord situation and they are having to rely on speculation about what a hypothetical sony investor might think at this stage.Not to mention, if player numbers get so dire, it will likely go free to play and linger on for ages.
>>737406471Cheating in games like Arc Raiders, Marathon and Tarkov is perfectly justifiable. The anti-cheat basically does nothing and there are cheaters in every lobby. You have to be a complete retard to keep playing games like this "honourably."
>>737426067chink/russian/south american or some other kind of brown
>>737425923So why would you pretend?You don't want good games, so spare the long winded faggot post about "passion" and making games for gamers bullshit.Marathon is insanely good and authorial and uncompromising in many ways that pisses off retarded poorfaggot, inbred third worlders like you
>>737423686It will at most maybe bump the playercount by a thousand or two
>>737426038>it will likely go free to play and linger on for agesYeah im not really scared about that though because they made a game for content creators meaning no one is actually gonna play it so...
>>737426067>i will play dead and unfun games if you let me act like a subhuman in themt. someone that SURELY does not just act like a subhuman in every game he plays
>>737425508If it's so excellent, why can't it hold its playerbase? I've watched streams. Even putting the horrible art direction aside (which we absolutely shouldn't), there's no hook. The core gameplay is blandly functional. It's like Halo without Halo's story, art, vehicles, or level design. Bungie has never had the best gunplay on the market, even when Halo 1 came out.
>>737404491>peaked below 20k two days in a rowYeah I can see whyThat said if they think an 8 dollar discount is gonna move the dial then they're lunatics
They could make it free and it's still not breaking 25,000 players again. It's not even worth trying for free. Even recent Destiny 2 expansions (which are complete dogshit) are more enjoyable.
>>737426038You're just making shit up, like you people always do. You can find a couple of outliers, but people were saying from the beginning that it was going to launch with underwhelming numbers for a game that costs so much and has such pedigree behind it and that it would limp along for a year or two before getting shut down, having only made back a small fraction of its budget. The thing that makes it Concord 3 is that it's definitely going to lose a dizzying amount of money and could potentially kill Bungie.If anything, people were throwing around numbers like 200k peak concurrents before launch. Which still wouldn't have been enough, BTW.
>>737426212>If it's so excellent, why can't it hold its playerbase? It holds a dedicated playerbase and that drops at the second half of each season like all service games>I've watched streams. Even putting the horrible art direction asideYour taste is fucking dogshit and you are a retarded drone parroting every single thing you read online. Holy shit have you ever had a single independent thought? Of course you don't. You are asking me why an unforgiving game that is far more hardcore than Tarkov (which has safe containers and pandered to PVEfag to actually reach its current numbers) isn't doing 500k ccu>there's no hook. The core gameplay is blandly functional. You are a faggot who doesn't play games, you have no worthile take on gameplay at all>Bungie has never had the best gunplay on the market, even when Halo 1 came out.I don't give the slightest bit of fucks about anything Bungie did before Bungie were a consoleshitter devs until Ziggler made a God Tier high skill ceiling game, so God Tier it filtered plebians like you before you even touched it, like some wireless shitter repellant aura.
>>737404491i would buy if it was free
>>737426617>praising ziegler
>>737426617The "dedicated playerbase" can't break 20k
fuck off and buy an ad
>>737426617how much is bungie paying you to shill this slop, dikshit
>>737426592I wonder why they’re such dedicated faggots here on /v/, on /vg/ even the people playing the game can address its flaws without sperging out
>>737426692Yeah he managed to make a great game off the original disaster that was Marathon 2 years ago.Now fuck off troon, you don't like good video games we get it. Marathon is not your favourite 500 hours single player ARPG with movement inertia, fishing minigame and ADHD minigames
>>737426940>fuckoff troon>he says while playing the troon coded live service slop?
>>737412351my games are all free, so yea, if the only price i can boast about spending is the only price i spend, i will board about it. i can boast about spending 0 dollars but most people can afford that .
>>737426212>This game is excellent but very unforgiving and not casual friendly>>If it's so excellent why so few people!?!???Are you retarded?
>>737404491I didn't play the other 9999 versions of this game why would I play this one?

I was gifted the game and I still declined it

>>737418352I don't hate the game, I hate Bungie for stealing paid content from me (same with Mojang and their account migration bullshit)
>>737427272Tarkov is infinitely harder than this shit yet retains way more players
>>737422724It's not even his post. The original post was about Wokeists. He just altered a few words to make it about Conservatives...and to make it not make any sense.
>>737426940>the original disaster that was MarathonI wanted to play the original version of the rebooted Marathon.
Bungie can only afford 1 shill on here man, what happened?
>Now fuck off troon, you don't like good video games we get it. Marathon is not your favourite 500 hours single player ARPG with movement inertia, fishing minigame and ADHD minigames

So why did destiny 1 win?
>>737430232i thought it would stay at 25know it's lower than 20kwill it stabilize at 15k?
>>737425508>Marathon is excellent and a product of passion. There's nothing mediocre about it, it's excellent in any wayLmaoIt's the ugliest game I've seen since Concord.Ugly games CANNOT be good. That's a fact.
>>737430745It will stabilize once it shuts down
>>737430745Buddy this shit is going down to 5k by the end of season 1
>>737430745Brother it's gonna stabilize at 0.
>>737430928It won't have players left by the end of the season. This shit shuts down before they ever get to "wipe" for season 2 lmao
>>737430745It's been losing around the same percentage of players every week since launch
>>737430745nothing more stable than a flatline.
>>737420454>obsession>perceived troons
>>737430745Highguard couldn't even break 1k in its last week, the ride has no brakes and the bottom is 0.
End Bungie.
>>737430745it will stabilize at zero
>>737431427Putting Star Wars stuff in Destiny is the dumbest, laziest, and most soulless thing I've ever seen. They should have just made a Star Wars game instead.
>>737430906>>737430968>>737431219NOOOO!!
>>737423686it's too late for that, bungie listened to the streamers and fucked up their game. many such cases
>>737426940telling people to leave when the player count is dropping week on week is not the own you think it is lmao
>>737426135>Marathon is insanely goodtop kek
>>737404595Marathon was $40 on release day irc.
>>737432231$40 for what should have been a f2pSo many retards got scammed by this kek
>>737432649>40 bucks is a mythical level of wealth What a strange post.
>>737430232Any sales pop would probably not show up until the weekend.If the weekend numbers are also bad (or god forbid the weekend can't even break 20k), then it's really, really over.>>737430745I thought the low points each night were starting to stabilize at 6k, but I'm not sure anymore. >>737431026>>737430968Matchmaking will probably break if the peak goes below 10k, unless people are willing wait 10 to 15 minutes to find a match.
>>737432720>I changed every word in the post I replied to except for '$40'>what a strange postprofound retardation
>>737432720Could have bought yourself some McDonald's instead, Mutt. And all you got was FoTM high TTK hitscan garbage lmao
>>737433170>Any sales pop would probably not show up until the weekendWhy? If they bought the game they would have tried it already. Why would they have waited for the weekend? What is it with this game and "the weekend"?No other game has this excuse. Arc raiders climbed during week days but for this game you require weekends?
>>737433170I'm not seeing stability. We're seeing the end cf compression. I suspect players are playing through the refund period, hitting the "rape point" of level 70, getting matched up with level 200s with biotoxic disinjectors, gold shields, and DMA and ejecfting. >Matchmaking will probably break if the peak goes below 10k, unless people are willing wait 10 to 15 minutes to find a match.10k is the point where some game modes start being unavailable, as we've seen in Asia.>>737432720If you're really dumb enough to confuse mythical with value, just lurk more. If you're pretending to be retarded, we'll see you be retarded next thread.
>>737432720Bungie needs it more than we do
NO NO NO NO NO !!!
>>737426940I definitely don't want to play with this tool. I miss the old days of just being able to kick retards from my servers.
>>737433619>high TTK??????
>>737433729I'm sure some people who bought it on sale immediately installed and started playing, but there's also going to be a lot of people with jobs/kids (the 'dads of marathon,' lol) and other obligations where they can't really play during the week.My point was, the weekend pop would occur because it'd be that combination of people who bought it on sale now (and already started playing) AND people who bought it on sale now but can't play until the weekend.Personally, I think whatever mini bump might occur won't stop the downward trend.>>737433825The refund period is 2hrs. If players are getting raped within that window, things are even worse than I thought.>10k is when game modes breakThat's the more dire version of what I was talking about, but it's interesting that 10k is apparently the point of no return.>>737433916>10k is the new normalPart and parcel of making a AAA game but for a niche audience and refusing to budge on that point.
>>737404491Why did Bungie fund white supremacy through their support of the Southern Poverty Law Center?I wasn't going to buy Marathon but now I might.
>>737433825>hitting the "rape point" of level 70, getting matched up with level 200s with biotoxic disinjectors, gold shields, and DMA and ejecftingHow so, is that how matchmaking works? As in, past certain lvl you just get matched upwards no matter what?Or youre just being hyperbolic
>>737408821>Destiny is at 12kInsane, they used to average like 60-70k players consistently even during the horrible content drought of y1. What the fuck did they do to make it less appealing than vanilla destiny rofl
>>737432720Who are you quoting?
dead and buried
>>737406657>19k>no new content till june>new content is just arc raiders night raid on 1 mapgrim
>>737434182HUNT CHADS! WE WON!!
>>737434182Hunt is barely an extraction shooter, in fact i don't even think it's an extraction shooter at all, it only borrows some elements.
>>737434313what makes it not an extraction shooter?doesn't it do the whole "loot, kill, loot, extract" loop?
fuck Tarkovfuck Dark and Darkerfuck Forever Winterfuck Hyenasfuck Maraudersfuck Cycle: Frontierfuck Disney Extraction Shooterfuck Arena Breakoutand especially fuck Marathonwhat a fucking stupid genre, ain't nobody fucking figured out the gameplay loop let alone the endgame for these stupid multiplayer extraction shooters.And don't even think of bringing up Arc Raiders as some sort of success, they've already losing players and i wouldn't be surprised by the end of the year they'll be less than Warframe with 30k or so players.
>>737426904Sony knows it's behind the curve, perceives this site as dangerous and has billions on the line.>>737433980They already did something for "low population areas", which means you may be risking 10k of gear of hitscan weapons in a laggy fuckfuest. They have ranked, they have solos, they have "experimental" modes. >The refund period is 2hrs. If players are getting raped within that window, things are even worse than I thought.They USED to get butraped within that refund period. They changed matchmaking to reduce that---which makes the noob refuge look stark and unpopulated. The entire thrust of the game is to force PVP where winners take shit from the losers, and it discourages other playstyles like scavenging out in the boondocks and quietly exiting, or teaming up.
>>737434465completely rounds based, not really an acutal persistent or eve semi-persistent level.don't actually loot anything, it's just points/money.honestly feels more like payday
>>737434520
>>737434520>extraction shooter but its just Toontown
>>737404491Reminder that whenever the game drops to like 7k players on steam it means the entire playerbase across all platforms is less than 10kBleak. Fucking bleak

>>737433971Newfag
>>737434013I'm being hyperbolic about the frequency of gold shield fucks with endgame gear and their level, but not the method.Matchmaking isn't going to turn away someone just because they're level 200. And if your at level 80 with equipment 2 tiers lower than them, you're on the menu. And if you haven't done your complicated quests, or if you're trying cryo archive, things can get rough. >>737434025They essentially made Destiny PVP, where you can constantly lose gear.
>>737412917Hol up, just wait for the end of the quarter bump.
>>737420491>no prone>no changing slide direction>no shooting mid slide>pressing anything but W mid-sprint immediately stops you>cant cancel clamberingits movement is hot doo doo shit. plays like a shitty ass console shooter.
20%?I'll consider it at like, 40% or something. Maybe.
>>737435126>paying for a dying always-online extraction shooter 'game'
How do we stop Marathon from winning?
>>737434917It plays like a shitty ass console shooter because it is a shitty ass console shooter. Which is funny because it ended up selling more on PC...Does this mean PC players are the true retards?
>>737435256Do nothing because it's killing itself
>>737435193Everything's dying. There's no escape.
>>737404491I spent real money on Arc Raider skins despite Embark sucking so much but I won't even get Marathon for free.
>>737435262>Does this mean PC players are the true retards?No a majority of its fanbase comes from Destiny players, who were always shitty console players that happen to play on PC. Notice how nobody in the PC space played this game other than Bungie fanboys.
I didn't even know it came out on Xbox. Fuck, screw the Steamcarts, I'd love to see those numbers.
>>737435482I thought destiny fans were pissed at Bungie for not making another destiny or halo. Why would they be playing this?
it seems like the only extraction shooters that are succeeding are ones that are NOT scavenger-style extraction shooters.singleplayer ones like Duckov and Hole seem to do well.objective/rounds-based extraction shooters (some of which are coop) seem to be doing well too.Of course maybe it's because those ones only take partial elements from scavenger-style extraction shooters, which explains why they're still alive and not dead.
>>737435531Whatever the steam numbers are, the console ones are half that. Not joking
>>737434182respect for the hunt bvllsthe game was always a massive underdog, but their playercount is somehow the inverse of marathon's
>>737425508Cool still not gonna buy marathon though.
>>737435625The ones that are doing well has PVE and very little to no pvp. People are tired of sweaty faggots in pvp so they avoid pvp now
>>737435625No one asked, faggot.
>>737435657Oh, I know they'd be terrible. But I am really curious to see per console sold, which console Marathon sold better on.
>>737404491>global wipeThat alone would keep me from playing even if I wanted to play this crap.I wont play once human for the same reason. I dont want an ever repeating 2nd full time job just to remain consistent in a game.
>>737435657Not even half, steam is 70% so at best each console is 15% of that
>>737436029They'll never release those numbers. Releasing that would be admitting the game failed
>>737435601Both are true. Destiny fans are mad because they quite frankly had their DLC stolen from them. The ones who put up with that will put up with getting raped by cheating chinese gank squads constantly, and campers in the corner with WSTRs and campers with sniper rifles and thermo scopes.>>737435310A financial terrorist!
Shouldn't pvp sweats be happy that all they get to fight is people of the same skill? Thats where the true high stakes pvp is at
>>737436029Tassi talked about the breakdown per platform, and I think it was>71% PC>19% PS5>10% XboxAnd you can roughly extrapolate the unit sales by using the 1.5m (assumed) sales to date. I'd do it for you, but I'm lazy.
>>737416949Pragmata and BF6.
>>737435683The company has always been a scrapper. Even back in the Crysis days.>>737436029The coarse numbers, from a drunken tassi in an unguarded moment are about 70 percent pc, 20-25 percent ps, 10-15 percent Xbox. This was near launch.
>>737434883>They essentially made Destiny PVP, where you can constantly lose gear.I meant what'd they do to destiny, I haven't played it since beyond light. Actually unbelievable that they somehow managed to lose almost their entire playerbase since then and that's why I'm so confused, like wtf actually happened? There's no way d2 right now is in a worse state than it was in year 1
>>737416949This game is really only for dedicated, tight teams of 3 who like loads of PVP.I think you should get Pragmata and start a family.
>>737434883>>737436561That's what Extraction shooters are basically.a stripped down MMO with perma-loss and full loot and sometimes permadeath.I still wonder if Hunt's permadeath was still a good idea or not.
>>737416949BF6 has a very good campaign, and multiplayer scratches that modern day itch that hasn't been fulfilled since BF4 a decade ago.After I die to a boss a few times in another game, I hop into a round of BF6 casual breakthrough for a change of pace.
>>737436725?
>>737417215This. No campaign, no buy. CoD BO 4 and BF 2042 had no campaign and both flopped. You'd think they'd learn by now.
>>737436561>There's no way d2 right now is in a worse state than it was in year 1D2 absolutely in a worse state than year 1. They took away everyone's paid DLC, and negated the new weapons equipment and mechanics in it. they added weird trannies, and gave them front and center on screen romances. And this isn't homophobia on my part. I have sex with men on a weekly basis, and D2 is way to gay for me. Pic related. I'm not sure if Rick and Morty's Mr Nimbus or this Nimbus came out first, but they are a non binary, with a non binary voice actor.
>>737436369If anything, this game proves that pvp sweats are the loud minority
AAA game btw
>>737434520When will this extraction shooter fad die
>>737437007There's quite a few of them, but the ones who actually want a challenge is very small.
>>737436981>They took away everyone's paid DLCI swear during beyond light they either promised that they were gonna stop vaulting stuff, or that they were going to rotate vaulted content periodically. I miss destiny a lot, or rather I miss what I thought the game was gonna end up like after a some time.
>>737437228It's a legacy and a problem with the 5 year dev cycle. Tarkov was massive during the Covid era, because everyone was in lockdown and had time to sink into it. Which prompted all these companies to try and copy it's success.One of the major problems is, they never understood Tarkov to begin with, not know it's actually a failure in what it wanted to be. They copied what Tarkov is, not what the dev wanted; which is what drew everyone to the game in the first place.The entire extraction mechanic was supposed to be a temporary fix while Tarkov got more maps so they could then stitch them together to map a single persistent world ala STALKER

>>737439928Everybody loses all they've acquired and gets reset to a fresh character. The only game that has done this with any success is Tarkov which stopped doing it after a 1.0 release

>>737404491having a blast
Marablasters are having so much BLAST
>>737411226Most adults play video games to unwind and relax. The unemployed hardcore sweat gamer that spends 12 hours a day on one game is a very small audience and is constantly shrinking.

>>737437228It already did.

>>737425508 What's up roach nigga
>sony spends 3.6 billion dollars buying bungie and over 200 million developing marathon>shill it as the biggest game ever>pays every single mainstream reviewer site to give it high scores>becomes the 6th best selling game of the ps5 on 2026 so far, only 4 months into the year and naturally the ps5 hasn't got any games this year in the first placethis shit is looking incredibly dire
>>737450045kek I love that this data is filled to the brim with *'s
>>737450045It's not even the 6th best selling ps5 game in 2026, it's just in the US with a bunch of asterisks about them not counting most of the games in the calculations. Like what the fuck is that data even trying to say with all these random things getting excluded?
>>737450418>Like what the fuck is that data even trying to say with all these random things getting excludedSo the homers can post about how Marathon is doing well and pretend nothing is wrong with the game and its sale numbers.
>>737450116>>737450418lmao I didn't notice that
>>737450503>>737450418Makes it more pathetic that despite all the *'s they still could only manage to get placed 4th. These past couple of months have had no major AAA releases and they still could not get better than 4th place.
Marathon was the most sold game in 2026 on the PS5!*In Serbia**Other games not includedCopyright 2026. Anonstats, NIG
Didn't trannies say it had stabilized around 25k players?why is it falling below 20k now?
>>737450741What are you trying to imply, you transphobic chud?
>>737450503Why doesnt this have slay the spire 2 and why is crimson desert so low?Actually useless chart
>>737450981>Why doesnt this have slay the spire 2Maybe because it doesnt have a physical release? Not sure either.>Crimson Desert so lowThey didn't include the digital sales for Crimson Desert kek, otherwise it'd probably be number 1.
>>737450981Because it's someone wanting to trick people into thinking the game is doing well when it clearly isn't
>>737406341That’s a 20% drop
>>737451075>>737450981Big publishers are more likely to give data to Circana. Indies tend to be a big blindspot for them. Same with any game that blows up in China or elsewhere.
>>737406551I check it daily to watch the player count drop. I have no intention of ever buying that slop.
>>737406657>drop 20% from the price>only gain a few hundred playersKek

>>737451283Obviously people are waiting for the weekend to hop on and have a blast!
>>737451362>Obviously people are waiting for the weekend to hop on and have a blast!the shills coping in real time was a blast to watch the first couple of weeks
>>737450116>>737450503>>737450981Circana doesn't have secret access to any of the actual sales data, so it's operating on more or less the same information that any autist here can just go out and find. This is why their charts have a million qualifiers/conditions, because the data is so patchwork.And IIRC, wasn't Circana called 'NPD' before?
Blast havers keep on winning
>>737450503>Digital Sales not included for Crimson Desert lol. and where’s slay the spire
>>737450741It's the most profitable Bungie game since Destiny 2!
>>737406515we pay for blasts here
>big publishers are likely to give data to circana Sony lied about this games sales to score higher on their rankings lmao, because if you look at the actual Steam/PSN/Xbox stores at all this does not make an iota of sense. So fucking hilarious
>>737452454You cheeky cunt.
>>737452454And best selling!
>>737452504nothing new from sony, they were slimy as fuck about the ps2 sales too lol
Sisters, we can't let the chuds winlet marathon running on your computer 24/7 to raise these player numbers
>>737452662That makes me hope Marathon is one of those games where the FPS on the title screen is accidentally uncapped, so it cooks your GPU when running idle.
>>737425508WRONG!
>>737430702Died before it could get further raped.
>>737404595it was on sale even a month ago on russian cd key sites
>>737425508>Extraction Shooter thats basicly a glorified Battle Royale and will be dead in a couple months is actually the best shooter on the market.Lmao
