I think the game is decent and I enjoy the art style but I’m wondering if I just wasted $32 because it’s going to die soon…
LOLno refunds
Release week was kino, sorry you missed the train anon.
Marathoners will never die!
dead tranny gamegood riddance
>>737789838Sorry tranny you ain't claiming this game either.
Marathon is dying threads are dying.
>>737789245I mean it seems to have stabilized at least and isn't dropping anymore but it's probably dead if season 2 doesn't fix a ton of shit. At this point it comes down more to the devs than the community.Biggest thing they need to fix is the progression and related systems. No one is fucking doing the upgrade grind again in season 2 if it's still as strict and salvage eats up way too much fucking space in your vault.
>>737790108>I mean it seems to have stabilized at leastIt's lost more than 2,000 players in the past 2 days.
The Wipe will save this game
>>737789245>she thinks marathon will die>my reaction as a secure, stable individual
>>737790173Not useful since it was Saturday two days ago, but the weekly comparable does show that it's down from this same time last week, losing 2.5k players and down to 15.4k
wow I didnt realize how steady and consistent the drop was until I looked at itits literally been losing thousands of players a week, every week, since release and hasn't stoppedyou'd think it would mellow out at some point
>>737789978>game with literal nigger and tranny robotstone down the projection xister
>>737790386and literally made by trannies
>>737790329Cryo is open on Saturday then closes on Sunday. The pattern seems to be consistent at least that it's about 2k~ more players every Saturday than the following Monday. Honestly, the drop was egregious a month ago but now I think it's just regular extraction shooter rates. It's normal to start losing players as the season goes on.The Steamchart situation really doesn't matter right now. The big problem is whether the game just starts a new season and then sees no player spike at all since that'll pretty firmly indicate that the game has no future period.
>>737790386Where are the "tranny robots" exactly
>>737789838Make a game for the transfolx and don't allow people to play on linux. Huge blunder, dead in the water.
Vandal is cute, cute!
>>737790537Unironically I think the best way they can save this game is to start releasing horny skins for all the women
>>737790568Game is unironically too hard for the average coomer, skins won't change that
>>737790370>y been losing thousands of players a week, every week, since release and hasn't stopped>you'd think it would mellIt is to be expected from a seasonal game. What matters is how the game will do for the next season
>>737790454they're pretty good at their job thenwhats your fucking problem exactly besides being a mentally ill dweeb who's been posting the same exact thing for yearsyou understand the ONLY time people hear are exposed to even seeing the word 'tranny' is from literally youseek professional help, genuinely
>>737790692uh oh troon melty
>>737790674yeah im sure that wipe will bring in tons of players instead of having the complete opposite effect
Uhhh I hate trannies, here's why I think and talk about them non-stop....
>>737790568this game is too ugly and woke to even be saved by goonerbaitmarvel rivals and fortnite already thoroughly own that crowd
>>737790823>this game is too ugly and woke to even be saved by goonerbaitdidnt stop bungie from trying as hard as they could lmao
>>737790823>>737790748>>737790454>>737790386>>737789838
>>737790971all me
>>737790971
um ACKtually CCU only makes up 20% of playersso it's not losing 3k a week it's losing 15,000 total players a week. that's not even bad!
>>737790692Really poor baitDial 8
>>737790805Can't say in advance. Some game do grow their player base over time. Game foundation are solid, Bungie can still pull a redemption arc
>>737789342GET BACK IN THERE AND RAISE SOME LUMPS, BOY!I WANT AN EXTRACTION!
>>737790304At the current player loss rate, Marathon will go beneath 1k CCU by July.
>>737790971Patrick returns to humble Marathon shills once again.Welcome back, my liege.
>still using steamie numbers like it's the undeniable source of truth when marathon is first and foremost a console game and that's where the majority of the playerbase is
>>737790537First piece of fanart where she looks actually cuteIf only she looked like this ingame I might've given this crap a chance
>>737792172>Marathon is first and foremost a console game
>>737792198There's tons
>>737790386>Now that you are free from your carnal coil you can look like anything, BE anything!>Make me a nigguh again.
>>737792605>tons>maybe 25 to 30Say what you will anon, but I've been in these Marathon threads since it got announced, and I can count the number of fan art and porn pics I've seen on both hands.Organic interest is lower than medium popularity indie games like Anthology of the Killer, Night in the Woods, Balatro, and others. And yes, I just mentioned AotK so I could have an excuse to post this pic.
>>737789245Curious how every single one of these threads open with the exact same line about "gameplay and artsyle is good but I'm worried".
>>737792839dont forget le heckin lore
Still not buying Marathon.
>>737792605>There's tonsnot reallymaybe 50 on gelbooru
>>737792797>maybe 25 to 30That's above average for a sub-100k player count game that has only been around for like a month
>>737792960>here's how 25 to 30 is actually a ton of imagesIf Marathon was an indie game, I'd agree. But it's a AAA game that cost a quarter of a billion to make and had a multi month paid marketing campaign.If the best all of that money can muster is 25 shitty images, then there's little to no interest.
Marathon players are psychos, they'll see you being a grey shield with a free kit and still kill you even though it basically costs them more resources to empty a magazine on you than the scraps on your person combined.
>>737790971>why is my game I purchased not well received by /v/?>is it because of the hideous and pozzed art style?>is it because it was made by Bungie, who have lost all consumer good faith because of Destiny 2?>is it because it was astroturfed to hell and back by blast havers and lightning in a bottle catchers?>no, it is because of Patrick JensenPatrick might be one of the most based individuals on the planet desu. Imagine killing an entire game by yourself.
>>737793148samefag harder
A completely genuine question, no baiting: what does ARC do better than this game? Why does it keep so many players active? I've only played the Marathon beta and just started ARC and I don't feel it to be honest. While the bots do present a bigger challenge in ARC, I feel like there's a lot less fighting or any interaction, be it PvE or PvP. Of course I haven't explored the game that much yet, but the gunplay isn't too satisfying, all the guns feel weak. I'm skipping the art design in comparis, though I like both how everything in Marathon looks and the specific post-apo flavor in ARC (with some exceptions).
>>737789245The stable xisters won. Maratroon has finally stabilized and the chuds are SEETHING…
>>737793304>A completely genuine question, no baiting: what does ARC do better than this game?The NPCs are more varied and fun to fight due to the limb system, also the game is a lot more casual friendly, you get a pocket to store an item you never lose, the TTK is a bit higher, and the matchmaking puts non-aggressive people with other non-aggressive people. Also due to the sweaty nature of Marathon it's VERY rare for players to talk or interact with each other beyond instantly fighting, leading to you feeling like you're just playing bots and making it unfun for streamers, and unfun for streamers hurts promoting the game a lot.
>>737793304It's two things:>PVE>emergent social gameplay Normalfags can run into other normalfags, have the tense 'friend or foe?' moment, then talk over voice chat, relax, and play together. And if you're big into PVP, you soon get filtered into PVP heavy lobbies by the matchmaking system.In Marathon, the TTK is so low that shooting first is 99% always the best course of action, so it's just a competitive TDM game more or less. Sweats mulch casuals and get stronger. Arc was only middling in terms of player count until they leaned heavily into PVE.
>>737793437Or maybe the game just sucks? For a game to go from 70k to 4 digit concurrent in like a month and a half, something is up. It’s not the late 00’s where 90% of people are retarded millennial dudebros playing CoD on Xbox, Gen Z are the people playing games now and they have a really high level of skill and love challenging themselves in competitive multiplayer games. Marathon isnt getting people in the door despite its insane budget and marketing campaign, and the people that do step in the door tend to step out a few hours later. The most likely explanation is that the game just isn’t good.
>>737793817lol
>>737793817Everyone point and laugh at the illiterate ESL
>>737792172oh no no no no no
>>737793817the tranny who made this shill thread is delusional, your post is pretty much on pointwhy would zoomies play this when cod and fortnite are a thing
>>737793817>Gen Z are the people playing games now and they have a really high level of skill and love challenging themselves in competitive multiplayer games
>>737793437>>737793817>One post goes into details about both games to compare features, mechanics and aspects of said game>One post generalizes and goes "uhh its just bad ok?" vaguelyThe last remaining schizos seething over this game are not sending their best
>>737793817It's funny you mention Xbox, because to me the Xbox/early 360 era was practically defined by fun multiplayer games with relatively short lifespans. It used to be ok that you'd buy something like Mechassault and play the shit out of it and then it was dead in a few monthsThe idea that everything should stick around forever is a modern thing. I'm sure it's not what Bungie intended, but Marathon is not structured like a forever game
Never thought I'd live to see the day people on /v/ try to use a game being unpopular as an own. It used to be the opposite.
>>737794072You would get absolutely fucking raped by a 10 year old on Fortnite even if you practiced for 100 days straight
>>737794272If you say so
>>737794203>Marathon is not structured like a forever gameThe 200 million dollar + live service multiplayer game designed with multiple seasons in mind isn’t a forever game. In fact, it’s just like some little Xbox arcade game made by a team of 7 people 15 years ago. Okay, dude.
>>737789835>5minutesTarkovtards can only dream of queue times this short.
>>737793817>>737794341You are actually illiterate by the way.
>>737790386I swear some of those designs have to be some concept artist's shitpost and some retarded manager actually thought they were good enough to be final designs.
>>737794341lmao bro the post you're replying to literally said> I'm sure it's not what Bungie intendedyou're swinging at ghosts cause you're seething so hard
>>737790480are you blind? or just extremely bad taste?
>>737794261Look at the fag repeatedly replying to post he can't even read properly, it's all 2016+ brownoids posting this shit
>>737794485Where are the trannies though?
>>737793750Interesting, so why didnt they think about using the environment to force the players to cooperate? I don't know, some contraptions that need 2 or 3 players to operate to access some area or enemies that are nearly impossible to bring down alone.
>>737794561
>>737794623Cause they don't want people cooperating, the game is meant to be a TDM with inventory loss on death, I'm not going to defend Bungie but if they wanted the game to be more casual they know how to do it, they didn't trip into this game, its exactly what they want it to be
>>737794203>I'm sure it's not what Bungie intended, but Marathon is not structured like a forever gameWhat are you talking about? It was built from the ground up, from inception, to be a forever game.
>>737794780Yeah, that's exactly what he's saying>Marathon is not a forever game>Bungie didn't intend for thatie>Bungie intended for it to be a forever game
>>737793931>>737793970>>737794065>>737794203Gamers have spoken. Despite HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS in funding from Sony, more than half a decade in development, and extensive ad campaigns targeting the most popular streamers, it failed. Miserably. The few people that did buy it absolutely despised it and have dropped the game in record time. Takes minutes to queue into a game now, you’re mainly staring at loading screens instead of actually playing the game. Turns out appealing to tranny freaks isn’t a valid marketing strat, who would’ve thought! Gen Z gamers are done with faggot games made for faggots, you can catch us playing actually good games.
>>737794847>Bandwagon fallacyTake it to reddit
>>737794847You will NEVER experience the golden age of vidya, zoomtard
>>737794838His assertion that it's not a forever game, and more of a fotm title from the days of yore, flies in the face of everything the game is built around. Literally every aspect of the game is designed around keeping players playing forever. He's trying to have some enlightened take but he's just talking out of his ass.
>>737794696I see, but hardcore TDM games don't really have a market now, all those people fire up quake 3 or ut 2004 and play on private servers.
>>737794885Really odd how more hardcore games like Tarkov have a far larger population despite virtually no budget and marketing
>>737794954He is literally agreeing with you that Marathon failed to be a forever game like bungie wanted, jesus fuck you are retarded
>>737794847I wonder who was the actual target audience for thishardcore tards stay in Tarkov and Huntcasuals normalgroids stay on ARCmarathon offers nothing for both group while having way worse visuals and gunplay
>>737794341Yeah but the progression just isn't compelling, it feels tacked on. And the only thing they've added is some end game thing that most people don't want to fuck with, and the next update is dire marsh at night. If you just plop something mostly static in front of people and expect them to toil away at it constantly until the next meager update you are retardedThese games(this applies to arc raiders too honestly) need like a year of compelling content planned out and nearly ready post release to get people caught in the maze
>>737795061>Really odd how an older more established game has more peoplenot really, also we dont even have the numbers for tarkov
>>737795083No, he said it's not structured like a forever live service game. It 100% is. If you're going to stick your nose in this and call everybody retards try to read the fucking post first, moron.
>>737795125>worse gunplayalright I've been shitting on the game too but lets not get silly
>>737795209>No, he said it's not structured like a forever live service gameYes he is saying Bungie wanted to but failed to make it a forever game>I'm sure it's not what Bungie intendedreading is not this hard man lol
>>737795125They wanted to do what Fortnite did and be the first AAA version of a budding genre. They were gunning for that normalfag audience. Problem is they got beat to market by ARC so now they just out in the cold nibbling on the leftover scraps.
>>737795209Do you not think having a robust content rollout plan is a necessary part of a live service? Because I do. Just having progression systems doesn't make something a live service, almost every game has that now
>>737795270Through it's design choices, which he is completely wrong about. Holy fuck.>the one calling everybody an illiterate retard is the one who can't readChecks out.
>>737795139Arc Raiders isn’t an established game and is doing literally 10x+ times better than Marathon. So we’ve established that Marathon being hardcore isn’t a reason for its lack of popularity when you consider a game like Tarkov, and we’ve established a game being from an established franchise isn’t a reason when you consider a game like Arc. It looks like the problem here isn’t gamers, game difficulty, or how established a franchise is. The problem is Bungie and Marathon.
>>737795336>They were gunning for that normalfag audienceAbsolutely not the case, otherwise it would have had AMM, safety pockets, etc
>>737789245It will stay populated enough to play for a while I think, they may need to figure out how to mash the 3v3, duos and solo players together at some point to not have nightmare matchmaking though. Which also kind of shits on the idea of new maps unless they do a splatoon like rotationI don't think the game gets much new content after the next "season" though
>>737790386Would it kill them to make vandal at least a bit sexy
>>737795441Tarkov may be doing better (we dont know, we dont have the numbers) cause its older and more established.Arc Raiders is also older and more established than Marathon, and also the most casual friendly extraction shooter seen to date.Didn't bother reading the rest of your dribble drobble seething.
>>737795430You're having a tanty over semantics at this point, is your fucking diaper full little nigger
>>737790692No they did a shit fucking job. Keep eating their shit and ask for more
>>737795441Enlighten to us about the flaws of the game then anon, you seem to avoid ever going into any real details about the gameplay, it's almost like you've never played any of the games you've talked about.
>>737795365Just because they're not pumping out Fortnite content at a Fortnite pace doesn't mean Bungie didn't have a plan. They're doing the same with Marathon as they've always done with Destiny.
>chuds>losingsong as old as rhyme
Extraction shooters will always be niche in terms of people who actually stay with them wipe after wipe. It was a retarded business decision day one. The MMO-lite style of destiny is way more compelling, they should have just iterated off of that
Stop bullying marathon, NOW
>>737795470Or they don't understand their audience which, considering everything bungie has done in the past, is far more likely.It's unquestionable that bungie was going for a big hit, simply because you don't throw $200 million on a project you already know is niche and only appeal to a small audience of hardcore players.
>16k peak
It's really funny how even when actively criticizing the game if you're not cartoonishly seething and shitting on it as the worst stupidest dumbest thing ever made in ever aspect you'll still get a few people seething over it. >>737795753Go a single post without mentioning 200 million as if it means anything to any of us challenge
>>737795532>Tarkov may be doing better (we dont know, we dont have the numbers) cause its older and more establishedFirst off we know for a fact that Tarkov is doing better than Marathon. Second of all, Bungie is one of the most renowned FPS studios in the history of gaming and they had hundreds of millions of dollars in funding. There is absolutely 0 excuse for them to being more poorly than Tarkov, and it being a more “established” franchise isn’t an excuse for how direly Marathon is performing. Arc Raiders is “more established” by like 5 fucking months, and it was a smash hit from the get go. It’s concurrent right now, 5 months after launch on a random Monday night, is nearly at Marathon’s launch peak. >>737795602Never played it and never will. I’m looking at this from an objective perspective.
>>737795852>First off we know for a fact that Tarkov is doing better than Marathon.Sure, lets see the proof then
dads of marathon status report
>>737795852>Objective perspective>Can't actually discuss the game itself to any degree beyond playercount and the budgetlmao
>>737795606>Delay reviews until you release your sweaty endgame that no reviewer is going to touch, killing a large amount of potential momentum>Have nothing planned for months afterward, and then those that have stuck with you can look forward to losing literally everything and starting over>But at least you can now play the worst map, at nightNot much of a plan really. D- see me after class effort.
>>737795823>Go a single post without mentioning 200 million as if it means anything to any of us challengeIt doesn't impact me but it does matter in the conversation and understanding what's happening around this game. If we knew the budget was < $50 million, I doubt much people would have cared that the game's current state.
>>737795884Sure! 7k players are on steam right now. According to Tarkov devs, 90% of people are using the GSC client. Simple math puts Tarkov’s player count right now at a low end of 55k, but likely closer to 70k. This is vs. Marathon who’s biggest platform is Steam with only 17k players, and around 20-30% split on PS and Xbox, putting it around 22-28k max
>>737795904We all got divorced and work two jobs now
tranny melty
>>737795791wow marathon has as many daily players as a 16 year old strategy game!good job bungie!
>>737796042Why do you personally care about the budget so much? The average person definitely doesn't, nor does it really add anything to the conversation about the game. >>737796064I asked for proof, 4chan posts are not proof
>>737796042>It doesn't impact me but it does matter in the conversation and understanding what's happening around this game.No one buys, not buys or drops a game due to the budget, it's actually completely irrelevant unless you're a developer or stockholder.
>>737795852ur replying to a tranny btwjust look at the ultra normalfag reaction pics that xer using while baiting
>>737795947A roadmap being shit doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
>>737793304Better PvE, more varied enemies than other just humanoid, more social interaction as well. Bosses in Arc raider either require teaming up with multiple strangers or taking riskier movesMeanwhile the one boss in marathon requires you to kill every other team in the lobby to even try and fight it, not too mention the grinding you have to do to even get the items to fight the boss.>all the guns feel weakDepends where you shoot the enemies and gun you are using. Shoot the flying ones in the body, can take 5-8 shots. Shoot the rotors out, 2 shots max.
>16k peak Holy shit, this game will anounce EOS by July or August.
PLAYER NUMBERS DONT MATTERSALES DONT MATTERNOTHING MATTERS OK
>>737796245shut up faggot, I come here to discuss video games not spam buzzwords like a retard from sharty
>>737796317Rape and kill Bungie
>>737796138>Why do you personally care about the budget so much?I literally just told you I don't but that it does matter when talking about the state of the game. If you are too stupid to understand that much, feel free to remove yourself from the discussion.>>737796183>No one buys or drops a game due to the budgetI never said people did. What I'm saying is that the perception and conversation surrounding the game would have been different.
>>737796346uh ohmelty
maratroons lost, it was just not a good game
Will never play Marathon cause I'm a singleplayer chad but it has been a real gift in making culture warriors and destinytards absolutely lose their minds for months on end, what a fucking treat
There's nothing fun to shit post about this game. At least concord had weird wacky character designs to shit on. Marathons design and characters and theme is just... Bland
did bungie ever thought about making the robots less ugly before releasing the game?
>>737796378>I literally just told you I don'tYou can claim that but you keep bringing it up so you clearly do care> but that it does matter when talking about the state of the game. except it doesn't lol no most people do not know or care about the budget of games
>>737796437
>>737796451no
>>737796183Yeah a marketing budget has never impacted whether or not people buy games
>>737796510Hehehe
>>737796312>it was 19K last mondayyeah im thinking GRIM
troons won
>>737789245Wat game?
Even if Marathon dies and no one plays it in a month, the game should get a shitload of awards for art direction. It's really beautiful and fresh, shame they made an extraction shooter instead of a normal single + multiplayer FPS.
>>737796378>>737796042>Uhhh budget is really important to discuss why this game failed, I really care about this convo, but no I won't actually play or learn about the game itself so I can discuss the potential flaws of it
>>737796819budget is important to know if a game failed or not tho
>>737796809It's ugly as sin. That artstyle should be criminalized.
>>737796809You know maybe the game was originally not an extraction shooter but it took a pivot sometime in development. Look at all the recent extraction shooter announcements. Companies just trend chasing and are years behind.
>>737796809>the game should get a shitload of awards for art direction. It's really beautiful and fresh
>>737796849Knowing why something failed is far more important than knowing if it did or not.
>>737796819Why would I or anyone buy a game on death’s door solely to win an argument with a stranger online? I would rather sit on the sidelines and laugh as the tranny freaks at Bungie go homeless
>>737796819I'm not interested in playing the game because the genre doesn't appeal to me but it is interesting to talk about the game in a broader discussion about the industry.
>>737797004You're not sitting on the sidelines and laughing though, you are desperatly trying to argue about it and failing because you can't bring anything (good or bad) of substance to the table cause of your ignorance.
>>737797069>game came out to middling sales numbers>80%+ of people that bought it dropped it and never came backWhat more is there to discuss? Game isn’t good. If game was good, people stay. But since no people stay, means game bad. Is that simple enough to understand?
>>737797139Sure, nothing to discuss, case closed...so why are you posting in this thread? Why aren't you sitting on the sidelines having a laugh?
I wonder how many of the guys who played Halo as kids or dudebros back in the 00s even know the name of the company that originally made it over a decade later. Some of the kids were way into it even into the 10s but it was obviously a lot less popular compared to contemporary brown and bloom military shooters like CoD Blops II. And they probably did piss off the diehards who bought Destiny based on the Bungie nameThis all looks like Bungie seriously overestimating its brand recognition and level of trust people have in it to deliver quality. Everything about this game looks unappealing in a really pretentious way, like oooohhhh look at how different I am! I don't need to look good because that would be "boring"!
>>737797193Sorry destinytard, you lost
>>737796809>the game should get a shitload of awards for art direction. It's really beautiful and freshlol
Marathon's failure proves once again that you can't manufacture hype.
>>737797175Because I wanted to discuss what is probably the biggest gaming failure of 2026. If the game is so good, why aren’t you playing it?
>>737790386I dont mind the designes except triage because he looks like a zesty retard and they just had to give fat nigger lips on destroyer for no reason
>>737797175why are you wasting your time writing paragraphs in this mongolian basket weaving forum instead of playing the game that you supposedly love so much?
>>737797193I'd say it also has to do the extremely long time between releases and also the live service model. Can you really get brand recognition when you have been working on a single game and nothing else in the last decade. The time they worked on destiny 2 was longer than the time they took to release all the games in the halo franchise that they have worked on.
>>737797410I never claimed any love for the game, see how I can throw your own words back at you but you have to make up shit for me? lol
>>737797139>>737797304>there's nothing left to discuss>I just want to sit on the sidelines and have a laugh>I want to discussmake up your mind schizo
>>737797498>spending hours defending a game in a 4chin thread in a weekdayare you on shill payroll then?
>>737797604Yeah, totally, I get 5 bucks every time I make you look retarded, thanks for the big payday.
>>737797541>there's nothing left to discussIt’s a rhetorical device, not meant to be taken literally. Are you ESL?>I just want to sit on the sidelines and have a laugh‘Laughing’ in this instance includes posting comments like “look at this shitty tranny game shit and flop” and “it’s going to be hilarious when Bungie employees are on the streets begging for cash”>I want to discussYes, to some degree I would like to discuss this game from the perspective of morbid fascination, in the same way I want to discuss how shitty and hilarious Concord flopping was
>>737797687>said the guy defending bungieslop
>>737790537>This subhuman freak is cuteYou need to be testicularly tortured
>>737797786You KNOW these shills are desperate when they try to say the ugliest western feminist designs are actually hot.
>>737789245>I’m wondering if I just wasted $32Did you play more than 32 hours?
>>737797786>>737797842cute!!>>737797730destinyfags lost btw
>>737794352this so much this!its a niche game chuds!
>>737796819YOU NEED TO TASTE THE SMELLY, BROWN, FLY COVERED TURD, OTHERWISE HOW ELSE CAN YOU KNOW IT TASTES LIKE SHIT?!?
>>737790692tell me you're a ledditor tranny without saying it for 2000
>>737798105That doesn't work here champ
>>737797786this is the ugliest fucking thing
>>737797786>negative ass and 0 thighs>ugly glowie lips>giant rubber clown shoesimagine screwing up something as simple as a robot designIt’s surreal to think that this is the same company behind Halo's Spartan armor
>>737792172I saw this same shit posted by a shill in Forbes comments section. Is this what they are telling you to say now? Or you actually believe that?
I noticed it's being propped and hyped by leftists within my gaming circles. I have a theory they like this game both because of the "erm it's a critique of capitalism" slightly leftist bent in the narrative and because of the transhumanism (which is unironically a huge part of queer theory discourse around transgenderism) so they feel a fondness for the game and a need to defend it.
>>737797786I mean she's ok but nothing to write home about
>>737798171>That doesn't work here because....BECAUSE I SAY SO AND HAVE NO REBUTTAL OKAY!Try again tranny
>>737798105That works here champ
>>737798343>SheThat's a man's ass, the design is 100% troon shit
ello' darkness, me longtime mate
>>737798105pretty much lmao
>>737798327>erm it's a critique of capitalism>250 million dollar game by a 4 billion dollar company lol
>>737798343>she
>>737790467even Hunt has seasonal drop and it's playerbase has grown over time, charts fags dont care though. like cryptofags they will zoom in or out to support any narrative.
>>737798327Kek the only friend of mine that bought it is an actual Maoist batshit insane decolonial race communist. Only reason I still talk to him is because I’ve known him for like 15 years
And what about this game now >>>/vg/565032850 ??
>>737794034>Tralinea Tranalyticsall guesses btw
>>737793138I have an Arachne quest to kill you guys
>>737798387The problem is you don't have any actual points about the game itself, whether you got those points from watching videos, watching streams or playing it yourself is whatever. Can't believe that has to be spelled out to you.
>>737797786Where's her butt? Wtf is this
>>737798105>>737798387The post you're replying to literally says>play or learn about the game>or learn about the gamemeaning the playing part isn't the key issue, the issue is you don't know shit about the game lol
>>737798474But you see the game has a tongue in cheek liquid Burger ration so it's a self-aware capitalist dystopia. And the transhumanist shells being forced to fight each other over resources is a subtle nod how we are all forced to live in a fascistic capitalist Society (I am dead serious I saw someone claim that the concept of fighting each other over resources and survival of the fittest is a fascist ideal
>>737796809I bought it on the art direction alone, I had no interest in extraction shooters and wouldnt had bought it if a friend hadnt streamed it to me.I now have 100 hours.
>doing a few rook runs on dire marsh before stopping for the night>first one I just grab some loot then walk into the final exfil with 0 PvP encounters>2nd rook run, it spawns me in directly in front of a supply drop someone called in>for some reason whoever called it in never looted it>there's no dead bodies or anything around that would suggest they got pushed off by fighting or anything. Just seems someone walked up, actived it, then walked away >all 4 boxes are stacked with loot>fill my entire inventory with blue weapon attachments and a rifle and another extra volt assault rifle (I realized recently you can't buy them from anyone so I'm very obsessed with stocking up on these now)>even find a demosite rod which is what I was specifically looking for>within 45 seconds of spawning in I now have a full inventory>guarded exfil like 70m away >call it in and since I'm rook I just use ult so they don't aggro me. End up having a whole squad of UESC standing by guarding me while I exfil out peacefully>entire run took like 3 minutes total or lessToo easy
>>737798327huh, weird, the people I knew who bought it are 6'5" Adonis christian family values bodybuilders with multiple supermodel wives (who read about capitalism being good all day)weird that my narrative, uh i mean "experience" and yours are different
>>737796398All the people with no personality of their own hate this game vehemently. I don't particularly like the artstyle and got bored of non-milsim shooters ages ago (i'm gay and autistic) but it's very funny watching people who sank 10k hours into a Skinner box or 40k hours into /pol/ lose their fucking minds over the most inane bullshit.
Marasissies, I don't think trying to trick chuds into playing our game by saying they need to play it to tell us why it sucks is working.Whats our next move?
PC """gaming""" was a mistake
>>737799232Faggot mentally ill poop sucker
>>737798715>NO YOU DON'T GET IT ! YOU HAVE TO TASTE THE TURD, THERE IS NO OTHER WAY FOR YOU TO KNOW IT'S A TURD!
The craziest thing to me is that so many people would rather Bungie go back to making the game with the blue niggers and only gay relationships between named characters
>>737798715>>737798750Sametroon, also the emphasis in the post is on buying/playing, try again, harder this time or this is the last (You)'ll be getting from me
>>737799343Either way with this company is gay and troon shit what's your point
>>737799343Failed projects are hard to fix. Destiny is far from perfect but at least it is sustainable.
>>737797786She is in the short film.
>>737799465>the emphasis in the post is on buying/playing>ok it said one thing but I FELT like it meant another thingliterally tranny cope
>>737799473Just seems better to let the company suffer some cuts than see them go back to making a product that was itself pretty shit and filled with some of the worst live service excesses. >>737799519Is it sustainable after the past couple years it's had? My friends that played most recently have been in the dumps about the game for a long time now, recently they say that have no interest in returning.
>16k peak >Its low points are already barely above Destiny 2>Game has half the players of D2 because Destiny is actually popular in consoles Flop of the year
>>737800463You lost destinytard
>>737799343The only way to make sense of the Marathon hate campaign is disgruntled Destny autists. The first one was fun enough, you should never have even touched Destiny 2.
>>737800540destinyfags raped and gaped bungie thougheverbeit
>>737800558You lost lol
>>737799343>blue niggers and only gay relationships between named charactersAs opposed to marathon with robot niggers and only gay relationships?
Projected max concurrent player count for all platforms.Marathon: 24816Destiny 2: 46109
>16k high
>number i made up: 1200>other number i made up: 2650:O
Dear shill, please tell how this live service multiplayer game losing 82% of its players in less than two months is a good thing
>>737801098ez, casuals got filtered, see ya later
As someone not financially invested in Bungie or Microsoft tell me why I should care about its playercount or budget
>>737790386I Wish their was tranny bots in it, then maybe I wouldn't have gotten bored after 80 hours and uninstalled it.
>>737789245Even if they keep it on life support, what's the point in playing if nobody else does? Queues take fucking ages, then they connect me to a different continent and only the sweats seem to be playing.Kill it.
Destiny 1 wonDestiny 2 lostMarathon lost
>>737801305Because it's directly related to matchmaking, and the overall viability of the game This game in particular because game difficulty and loot levels depend on population. . Did you even read the thread or any thread about the game? It's even more stark here because of how team oriented the game is.
>>737797786>be the most mobile shell>have zero asstroon-esque design notion
Personally I'm having a blast!™
>>737801427>did you read marathon thread #643465No, I already had my fill of the game, got about 90 hours out of it, solid time, solid game
WHAT WERE THEY THINKING!?!?!?
>>737801305because spending hundreds of millions of dollars on a game like this and it failing is really really funny
>>737801542I guess if you're 12 and it's new to you, for some of us this is one of countless games over the years, not particularly notable
>>737799282I actually have tasted the turd. I beleive in playing these games so I can shitpost about them more effectively. There are actually some good points about this game, even if it's incredibly repulsive to most FPS players.I went into significant detail last thread, that got deleted, because who the fuck knows why anything gets deleted these days. But shitpost boy hasn't demonstrated that they've played the game at all, or is worth talking to.
>>737790971BAAAAAAAAASED
>>737801467Well, you of all people really should give zero fucks. But if you want to play more, do it sooner rather than later.
>>737801604cool story brostill loving every laugh
>>737801740BLOODY BITCH CHILD BASTARD SAARPLAY THE MARATHONS AND BUY THE LUX
Pear Abyss gave bonus to the staff for good performance. What about Bungie, bros? How much bonus?
>>737802513An extra trans awareness week or some shit probably
>>737789245No, it's not going to die anytime soon>>737789835Bad faith garbage posts, it takes 1 minute to matchmake in any mode at any time
>>737803409Maybe in the US. They've already had to make several changes to matchmaking, And if you're high enough level like I am, it means I'm getting matched up with gold tier rape squads 100+ levels higher than me.
>>737803643no, in EuropeEvery single time there's you subhumans claiming the game is dead because of queue times that are completely made up
>>737789245Who said it's going to die?
>>737797786>unofficial garbage, even has the wrong cannon arm
>>737803727Why are they announcing changes to matchmanking and queues to shorten queue times? They aren't even launching with full maps all the time now.
>>737799465never not getting a chuckle seeing these fucking snow walking shoes
>>737789245It's a pretty fun game but I dont think it's going to last much longer, I give it a year before its on life supportThat being said I got my money's worth, I've spent more on games I've played for less (150 hours)
Multiplayer GOTY 2026, nobody else is even close.
LIGHTNING: IN A BOTTLEFORM: RETURNED TOFOUNDATIONS: SOLIDBLAST: HADTHE THING: NEWHOOKED: GAMERSPLAYERCOUNT: SKYROCKETINGLETS FUCKINGGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOACK
>>737803774Its a live service game whose player counts are falling dramatically at a regular pace.Its on life support.
>>737803853Theyre trying to keep the dwindling player base happy so you dont all leave.
>>737803984The reset is going to be their large hurrah. If people actually return for it, it might have staying power.However, I don't know how much I trust them. Considering one of the road map items was a night version of a map, and that shit still did not release... is that what is supposed to bring back players on reset and we get nothing until then? A night version of a map?
>Sony shuts down the game, flushing billions down the drain>Sony burns money on keeping the game up, hoping people forget about Marathon There is no losing
>>737804298If they go forward with the wipe as is, then it'll be the death knell. The few casuals that still haven't dropped the game may not even know a wipe is going to happen
>>737804298>The reset is going to be their large hurrahThe reset will kill any and all casual or "can only play 4 hours a day" fag, unless they massively decrease the salvage requirements to upgrade the traders people will just not bother with it again
>>737804341chuds are incapable of not winning
>>737803853ok subhuman
>>737803853>Why are they announcing changes to matchmanking and queues to shorten queue times?Because having tight level based matchmaking makes no sense>They aren't even launching with full maps all the time nowthey are never launching wth all maps because the top players would just far Cryo nonstop
>>737804776Thats what keeps me from games like once human.I have a full time job and a kid. I have basically no play time. Maybe an hour a day two if im lucky.I dont want to play a game thats going to reset me every month or two.Its definitely not a selling point for a game i have to pay for. Hey buy me for a 2nd full time job.
>>737805392The reset is necessary and makes sure the focus of the gameplay remains looting stuff and progressing instead of just pvping, pros already cleared the upgrade treesI myself only lack little more than half a dozen Eccentric Salvage and I now barter or sell any and all green and blue salvage and most purple salvage
Marathon 2026 is a game for psychopaths.
>>737806174Yes
>>737804776The requirements for the upgrade trees are far from demanding, even a single rook run is enough to clear deluxe tier upgrade
>>737805868>>737806324>saymyname#7102Is that shit supposed to be showing the game in a positive light? Looks incredibly boring.
>>737806729Claiming Cryo is "boring" is wild lol
>>73779217270% of all copies sold on Steam
>>737789245>soonLol
>>737806729Cryo Archive runs are anything but boringYou are on a timer in an oppressive maze-like enviroment full of passages, doors and rotations as 4 crews try to stomp each other and purple enemies constantly spawnYou can't even exfil without meeting basic requirements
>>737806784Is that the dark one? Lol>throw five grenades>enemy never once looks at you or shoots>magdump their head>enemy still doesn't engage with you>one enemy jumps off cliffCasually walkimg around and 3rd partying people who looked like they were doing some kind of objective, looks incredibly boring.
>>737806917Holy shit, is that the ai or are marathon players that bad?
>>737794847>Turns out appealing to tranny freaks isn’t a valid marketing stratI have seen enough porn games to know this isnt true, but Marathon isnt appealing to the tranny crowd either.They even made the perfect tranny coded lore with>since its all clones n shid you can be whatever you want to be>you will still never be a woman thoughThey really did make it for the nichest of markets and everyone in upper management, both in Bungie and Sony, are too out of touch to realize that fence sitting and hopping over the fence to both sides to constantly take shots at everyone is not a good idea.
>>737805868>focus of the gameplay remains looting stuff and progressing instead of just pvpingHow high are you? Even the average Tarkov run incetivizes you to not just shoot everyone you meet more, lets not even mention Arc.The only way for the reset to work out would be if they also released a huge content (stuff to grind for not maps to grind on) update along with the wipe so people would jump in on the "new" progressioon loop. But that would make sense and be sane, Bungie is obviously not that, they will just wipe everything then call gamers entiteled when people stop playing because their shit got deleted, same as Destiny 2
>>737807869Didn't play any of those games award
>>737799691its really weird that they made their games 'icon' have the worst in-game model quality, everyone else is pretty spot-on for the cinematic
>>737804298The wipe will cause a dead cat bounce. A spike in players to delude shills followed by a massive drop once returning people realize they need to regrind the game while no lifers get more ahead.
I wonder how long it will take for the raped to realize the rest of this game's content is a reskin of a map we already have
>>737809140No her in game model is fine
>>737809409Grind what?
>>737809527Factions and contracts.
>>737809669Motherfucker that's called gameplayAre you complaining because you need to extract with some shit?
>>737809771put yourself in shoes of average 'dad of marathon', you come home from your shitty 9 to 5(7), finally a night all the boys available to play for whooping 40 minutes and you cant even use half your guns and gear and lacking skills until you refarm them again, last time it took you 4 weeks to get them, now it's even worse with queues taking more time than matches
>>737805868Got enough grenades there rick?
They should just let it die, if they're smart they're already working to salvage the lore, artstyle and basic gameplay and making a standard non-extraction multiplayer shooter with a good campaign like the old Halo games.
>>737809771You can call it whatever you want. What I said will happen regardless of wha you think.
>>737810016>like the old Halo gamesNo one who works at bungie has played Halo
>>737810016>they're smart they're already working to salvage the lore, artstyleThat would be a pretty stupid move as both are factors people dislike about the game.
>>737789245yes retard you better not have 2 hours of playtime
>>737809931You have no ideaI don't even spam them. I faced something like 8 flechette nades the match after
>>737806917boring you re just doing a hellish run where the danger are other players not the security even the compiler final boss its a joke
>>737809771when the game has an specific endgame its retarded doing gigs again for the retards of arachne or nusoy
>watchable content
>>737805868>Old Bungie was smart enough to put grenade limits in Halo so matches wouldn't devolve into nade spam fests>NuBungie allows Marathon players to stack an entire inventory of grenades At this point it's not just the woke shit that's annoying. It's that the game devs themselves are becoming more retarded every year, and forgetting what worked for balancing their previous successful games.
>>737810445also selfrevives
These shells need to be pumped full of brightly colored goo until they detonate
>>737810282Didn't play the game award
>>737810524This looks so depressing. Everything that makes the game look identifiable is ugly.
>>737810564i see more wipes between players than compiler boss i was there at the first kill "marathon" streams
>>737810816Barely anyone has access to the Compiler
>>737804298also some new playable runner i bet its gonna be op shit
>>737810926i wonder why
STOP THE FUCKING COUNT RIGHT NOW.DO NOT LET IT DROP FURTHER.THIS IS YOUR FINAL WARNING.
>>737811002Because vault 6 key is near impossible to find
>>737810926>restrict access to only the most "competent" players>balace the boss so that the "average" player would understand how to beat itCant have it both ways bungo
>>737810603I don't really have any interest in the game itself, PvP isn't my thing, but for what it's worth I do really like the art style. And maybe it's just my fetish but I love the shells, both the concept (remotely operated bodies that can be destroyed without death) and the style (the colors, the textures/materials). The fact that they bleed bright blue is great. Just imagining them swelling with fluorescent liquid to bursting point is hot as hell.
>>737792172I'm playing this on PC with crossplay and in trios I'm getting about 80% Steam, 20% PS and 0%, yes zero matches, with Xbox. I checked just now to make sure there was an Xbox release just to be sure. So consoles are adding about 20% to the playercount, probably weighted toward US hours. The complete absence of Xbox players is weird because this was one of the Halo studios and I would have expected some kind of carryover. Do the console versions default to no crossplay?
KEEEEEEEEEEKEOS INCOMING
>>737812072>Sony paid 3.6 billion dollars for this
they should add a weapon that causes enemy shells to swell up and burst
>>737812072are chartfags really this retarded?
I'm telling you niggers the studio wants this shit to fail so they can put everybody on a big project with their improved pipeline. Bungie are scam artists. You do not release a game without cosmetics if you want it to succeed.
>>737811273if only she looked like this ingameinstead, it's >>737797786 LOL
>>737812267cope seethe dilate
A shame that the game is dying so fastI hope it will at least go free to play so I can experience first for a few days
>>737793148>>737801463>>737804167based blast havers.
>>737811024lmao its cooked
>>737812395nothing a few million gallons of goo won't fix
>>737812295>You do not release a game without cosmetics if you want it to succeed.You release a game without cosmetics when you went through a very public asset theft scandal mere months ago and have to throw all the cosmetics out unless you can 110% verify their origin. I'm positive that's what's going on here.
threesome with thief and vandal
>>737812890the only threesome you're having is with a bottle of hrt pills and a rope
>>737812989SENT THAT MARATROON FLYING
>>737812890ewno thanks
>>737798602NTA it's very easy to come up with those stats from public information. DAU can be had by dividing the summed CCU by the average time spent in-game of a sampled set of players from their Steam profiles. Platform split can be had by a large number of crossplay samples. Revenue is just the platform split multiplied by cost, although they are erring on the generous side.Yeah, it's "just a guess" but a pretty well informed guess based on publically auditable data. It's actually a lot more honest and accurate than most financial reporting lol.
>>737812890For me it's Recon and Vandal but they're both about to blow
I have marathon hate fatigue
>>737813324ack yourself about it LMAO
>>737813324autistic turd worlders really do try their hardest to ruin everything
I watched Prometheus and Event Horizon back to back a while ago and frankly Event Horizon was the better movie. Other thing, tropes in these kinds of movies haven't evolved in 20 years. They even both had a "fuck a nigger ;)" joke. Anyways, a derelict starship seems like a better setting for Marathon Extraction Experience than Earth-not-earth. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

>>737813529Speak of the devil
>>737789245I just don't know why they made an extraction shooter instead of a spiritual successor to Halo. I'd still be an inappropriate use of Marathon but at least that might fucking sell.
>>737813772>inappropriate use of MarathonWhat
I am glad I am vindicated.The art style is trash, the game style is boring. Yes (You) like it but you have trash taste and everyone else knows it.
LMAO
HAHAHAHAH
>>737813949hell yeah we won destinybros!now bungie can come back and give us new content
>>737813553Like I said, the character designs even if they aren't perfect have a lot that appeals. I was interested from the first trailer where they showed the lady shell bleeding blue. Something about that activated my neurons.>if filled with blue blood, why not also filled with other kinds of brightly colored goo
What are the odds Sony shuts it down early and refunds everyone?
>>737813845The original game from the 90's.
>>737814195Lol
>>737789245So why did this game fail? It seems like public has by and large rejected Marathon.

what the fuck this game 4 hours of maintenance every fucking week for just a minor patch, I never saw this before.
>>737815402Vandal just reminds me of the girl from Die Antwoord. They're strange looking yeah but that's part of the style. I know that this place decides that any female character who isn't a 10/10 is tranny but it's reaching somewhat.
>>737809140i agree, it's astonishing how ugly the game model is. i can only assume the game model was made first, sent by bungie to the cinematic company who declared it fucking hideous and made this hottie instead
>>737814992wow a game in mantainance does not have many players? insane
>>737815803LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
>>737815867>two hours before maintenancebut close enough
>>737815923Okay

>>737816616>400k discord users and most quickly bumped threads on /v/
>>737816053Wrong, tard.Marathon only forces everyone out when maintenance begins, but prevents people from logging in well before then.I don't know why chartfags can't zoom out and look at the previous week, you don't need to make an ass of yourselves every tuesday.
>>737789245>just returned home from work>can't even playfix your fucking servers bungie, not even Steam does maintenance that often and it has a gorillion users with a tenth of the employees

>>737811024So it's actually dipping below Destiny 2 now. Ouch.
>>737789245The sudden effort to make the purposefully crotchless sexless robots into sex objects after it flopped is so slimey. I've been seeing the literal same 3 "thirst trap" pictures for going a month now it's so pathetic
Total bungie deathTotal bungshill death
>go back to other online shooter games>teammates are more retarded >no story>turn it offMarathon won something.
>>737816426>their clothes and weapons look like they're made of plasticThe nature of the game is that shells - and by extension their equipment and weapons - are pretty much disposable tools, the sci-if equivalent of single use plastic cutleryThem being big 3D printed/plastic shapes that slot together makes a lot of sense and it's part of why I love the style so much. Plus a lot of the shiny stuff is latex/pvc-adjacent.
>>737815521I bet the retards are using their broken ass Destiny engine that's an absolute clusterfuck to do anything with. I can't find it anymore but they were on record at one point saying that just to hotfix a bug would take 8+ hours of work due to the spaghetti code.
>>737817781The actual Bungietards are Halo fossils and Destiny thrice raped exgirlfriends that all have a virulent hatred for Marathon and can't get Bungie out of their heads, just look at their /vg/ generals.Most people that bought Marathon did it because they thought it looked interesting
>>737816815Not even the usual 1k~2k bots... it is over...
>>737817817>bungie games>smart peopleYou won't be saying that when it goes FTP
>>737789245WHOOP WHOOP WHOOP WHOOP WHOOP PULL UP! PULL UP!!>Last week lowest dive was 1,000 BTW.
>>737817986Why do I care if a game goes ftp
>>737817994Retard
>the same fucking thread every week for two monthschewsday innit
>>737818095SEETHING Bungle fan is SEETHING.
Gonna be a fun investor call in May
>>737818071Because your game is gonna be filled with a bunch of retards that will never learn how to actually play the game like what happened with destiny 2 after shadowkeep. Its a travesty what happened to LFG groups and I will never forgive them for doing that
>>737818223>ring ring>hello>you see the steam charts threads on v>no>went up Wednesday>yeah>then went down Sunday>who is this>bungie rape me>oh ok
>>737818163RETARD keeps RETARDING
>>737817827>"my advanced androids wear and use disposable trash to fight each other"not helping your case
>>737818228It’s already filled with retards with a sci-fi fps with PvP so retards can feel like they’re doing somethingLike Destiny. Destiny is about letting retards dress up like Jedi with guns so they can feel cool
>>737818126This is COPE. If they can't do maintenance while people are playing, what is the point?
>>737809140Vandal Sexo, out of all the runners she was the most gutted of the bunch, she literally has zero resemblance to her cinematic model, everyone else remained the same.
>>737818361I don't get what you mean. The entire concept of the game is about hopping through disposable bodies and being repeatedly killed and reborn until your soul is eroded, it's very SOMAesque. Or Cruelty Squad funnily enough.
>>737818382>Destiny is about letting retards dress up like Jedi with guns so they can feel coolYeah in destiny 2. Its a shame they really did sell out for a fucking star wars expansion and made it apart of the main story. Hell even ff14 made their wacky shit not apart of the main story. I fucking hate bungie so much for dropping the ball with their IP
How are we looking bros? Another home run emerging franchise?
>>737818531The reality is that Edge and Renegades are the best expansions but no one wants to hear it.
>>737818607>Edge and Renegades are the best expansionsSo true xister. I boughted 100 dollars of silver to celebrate and tip bungie
>>737818512Exactly - it would make sense to outfit your cheap, remote-controlled bodies with fancy and expensive/time-consuming to make gear. They're designed to last maybe one or two forays at best, but that's long enough to either get destroyed or get you something more valuable.3D-printed, extruded biodegradable plastic soldiers.
ITT: the raped
>>737818710>I boughted 100 dollars of silver to celebrate and tip bungiewow the maraschizo is a thirdywho could have guessed
>>737817778It really is, especially when making them robots was one of their few excellent decisions. The market for these kinds of games is a Venn diagram of:>mental illness>alternative sexuality>home all day/disabled/benefits/welfare>plays videogamesThese people will clamor for 'canon' sexual backstories for all the characters and for a lack of IRL touch they will never give it up. Some games decide to just own it like Overwatch but the vast majority would rather not touch it because it's the ick for normies. Marathon throwing that deliberate advantage away means they've given up on any broad market appeal.
>>737818804Yes thats the jokeGood job coming up with that conclusion
>>737818594WHERE IS FAIRGAME$?!?!
>>737818512>comparing this slop to fucking SOMAMein gott......
>>737818845>mental illness>alternative sexuality>home all day/disabled/benefits/welfare>plays videogamesYou're describing the average /v/irgin, though.except maybe the part about playing videogames
>>737796809>the game should get a shitload of awards for art directionArt Direction that was stolen from a tranny?
using the disposable runner bodies for proxy sex while you never really leave the net is kind of hot and a realistic look at our future at that
>>737819132So true sis let's evolve past humanity and chop our dicks off
>>737818985I like both, yes. If you had to expand on the worldbuilding of Marathon 1 and 2 (removing Infinity was a good decision) into a larger scale sci-fi universe to set other media in, they did a really good job with the direction they chose.
Marathon is like the cooking with jack lazy man's recipe of videogames
>>737819272>unique artstyle>niche, hardcore genre>somehow lazyniggers like you are why fifa and call of duty still get released every year
>>737789245I think I paid 50 for Helldivers 2 and felt cheated when I hit its paywall.
>>737819435>uniqueRoblox>hard-core High aim assist try again>nicheGeneric live service slop>somehow lazyYou are the reason why live service slop is in demand
>>737819217Your personal, shitty taste I guess.Thankfully, the game is on it's last legs so bungie will get the cue to make non trannoid robots next time.
Im hyped for the new arc raiders update
>>737819435You should know by now that /v/ complains about every game taking 0 risks and being the same, but also complains if a game takes risks but isn't tailored to their basic tastes.If your game doesn't have singleplayer, an easymode, or tits with gacha nu-/v/ won't play it.
>>737819767>I can't stop thinking about tranniesThat's your problem frankly.
>Try to discuss the game and it's strengths and weaknesses>But what about the player and sales figures?What makes people pretend they're shareholders of a game they haven't ever played let alone have money invested in? Is it all battered and broken Destinyfags being jealous that a studio does something else after over a decade?
>>737820064>Try to discuss the gamethis never happens, its only blast havers and return to fromers trying to hype up a shiny turd
Please buy lux
>>737819974>accepting the non binary robots, curveless robotsyou do youI prefer old bungie
>>737819767There’s no Troon flag emblem in marathon unlike Destiny. Destiny even has a gay couple and black women in the CIA. Shit is mad gay. True niggas don’t play that shit.
Lightning status?
>>737820064It’s all literally one guy from the Destiny general. The guy sits on this board for 16 hours a day and posts marathon threads.
>>737820224I'm curious to see if they're going to go full hog balls deep into pride/gay nigger month in June coinciding with the first "major" update
>>737790625unironically this is the only reason the game's numbers are not arc level. just a harder game in general. feels good to play and the actual design of everything is so refreshing in a sea of unreal asset store slop but none of that matters when every game might as well be a tournament for $500k.also personally, i think the bots in arc are way more fun to fight and there's more maps in general. marathon has cryo and pinwheel as the two good maps, while dire marsh is dogshit and perimeter is like the first map they ever made so it's pretty bland. i'd play the game more if i didn't have to play with pubs.
>>737789245700 is so low it's hard to think of a good comparison.
>>737820504They really need more diverse designs for UESC. Even their bosses are just bullet sponge humanoids with a shield and grenade launcher, it's boring. Add some proper huge robots in outdoor areas.
>>737820548Even the ultra niche game like Yunyun got more players than that
>>737820213>posts a screenshot from a 343 gamewhat did anon mean by this
>>737807869>The only way for the reset to work out would be if they also released a huge content (stuff to grind for not maps to grind on) update along with the wipe so people would jump in on the "new" progressioon loop.>But that would make sense and be sane, Bungie is obviously not that, they will just wipe everything then call gamers entiteled when people stop playing because their shit got deleted, same as Destiny 2You are a little retarded, aren't you?
>>737790386I can't wait for this shit to go into end of service. What nauseating designs. This shit is going to go free to play within a month.
>>737790454
>>737810139What's wrong with the lore?>>737810445I vehemently oppose any and all arbitrary item carry limitations. If there seems to be a need for such a change, then the problem is somewhere else, and implementing carry limits would address the symptoms instead of the cause.
>>737820680yup. i played a bunch of the closed tests and was under the impression some of the uesc bosses were placeholders till they made something else but then the game came out. there was a xitter post they made a couple weeks ago which was like "find the rook" and it was a crowd of uesc that all looked basically identical. which admittedly if that's what they were going for (making it easier for rook to hide amongst the enemy) is moderately clever, but also c'mon now gimme some uesc with vex weakpoints or something.>>737807869>Even the average Tarkov run incetivizes you to not just shoot everyone you meet morewhy are you pretending like you play tarkov? you can just play the game an have an argument that people can't immediately make fun of you for.
>>737812868This is the most moronic post I've ever read in a Marathon thread, which is quite impressive.
>>737820213>>737820750He might be thinking of Cat who I think is the only pre-343 spartan?
>>737820762How long until THE GREAT RESET?
>>737820852jesus these freaks are so viscerally repulsive, it's unreal.
>>737821030june
>>737816262Why do you care about the state of a game you don't play? I've never seen someone want a game he doesn't even own to be shut down.
>>737810201lol you're kinda shit but nice work. cryo is such a fun fucking map coming from basically any other extraction shooter. wish the method to hit the compiler wasn't so rng/long though, feels like only the unemployed got to it but i want the skin.
>>737820963Yeah, I figured, it's just really funny to see a supposed bungie oldhead post a screenshot of the worst game in the series from a completely different developer.
>>737819272What the fuck does this even mean?
>>737820197I wanted to upgrade to deluxe edition, but I can't find anyone selling key for that, and I'm not buying the full game again.
>average destiny 1 female hunter
>average marathon xister
>>737820923Explain
>>737821261https://youtu.be/ak3uJGf6Bj0?si=HusA5pOkPbFDfrri
>>737818469>everyone else remained the sameNo, they also gave Assassin hair.
>>737821526Oh, right, that guy. The aunt Myrna's party cheese salad. The rare chicken guy. I must say, this is biggest insult anyone has given to Marathon in my memory.
>>737821443That's just Vandal. Thief looks good.
>>737822397is this also >>737817827?
>>737822397>thief looks goodBut still jobs to destiny lol
>>737820302>all literally one guyLmao Marathon fucking sucks
>>737822682I've never played Destiny. Are you talking about some skin not shown ITT? >>737817827 looks better than >>737821391.
>>737822465I want to cum in the doll joints
>>737822786>looks better thanIf you were trans yeah I can see why you would think that
Reminder they stole the art style from a troon
>>737822946But I'm not trans. It's pretty weird to call everyone who disagrees with you transsexual, don't you think?
>>737822946>>737823117>everything I don't like is transyawn
>>737823187They literally stole the artstyle from a troon tho
>>737823117>>737823253That troon stole his art style from Designer's Republic. Bungie did factually steal his art work for textures, which was a really bad move.
>>737823165>>737823187>im not trans>plays tranny coded game???
>>737823165it's called projection.
>>737812072>Creators of HaloNope. And they're not the creators of Marathon either.
>>737822397made for brutal irama
You guys have to admit that 400k discord users is an amazing feat
>>737823307I don't play the game. I just like the artstyle.
>>737823769>I dont play the gameSo your an average bungshill that slops content creators... cool
>>737823307Tranny's cut their dick off. That is all they are. They aren't rainbows. They aren't plushie sharks. They aren't videogames.
>>737789245The only good point about this game is it's artstyle and I'm glad developers are ditching minimalist aesthetics. But at the end of the day Marathon is just live-service slop and deserves to fail. But sadly as we all know other publishers will take the wrong lessons from Marathon's failure (not using non-minimalist aesthetics instead of stopping to make live-service shit)
>>737823910>deserves to failSaying that a game "deserves to fail" is equally a stupid as saying that a game "deserves to succeed".
>>737823849Bungshill? I don't think I played Destiny 2 and I only played Destiny 1 when 2 was about to come out and it was on heavy discount.I don't give a shit about whether Marathon succeeds or not. I just like the artstyle and think the complaints about it are dumb.Bungie stole the art style, like that other anon said.
>>737823874They are marathon thoughbeit
>>737824087I think you are a dumb liar
>>737824232Well, I have no way to convince you, so I guess that's that.
Inflate recons, thiefs, and vandals to bursting
Not surprising the quality of marathon porn and art is comparable to deviantart
>>737796372>Rape and kill BungieThey were the biggest funders of the SPLC from the game corp side.2:42https://youtu.be/tIygoS_Qzt8?t=159No wonder leftist love them and their Maratroon game.
>>737824616if only they looked like this, but trannies are allergic to tits and ass in games
>>737825048If only they exploded as well
>>737824036I think it's fair in Marathon's case, at least in financial terms. Spending $250 million on a game for a tiny niche audience, and also using a normalfag repellent art style to guarantee the smallest number of players means the game deserved to fail as a commercial product.If Bungie spent $30-50 million, it would've been an entirely different story.
>>737814085something something slurpjuicenot a writefag anymore, sorry
>>737825773Ah, no worries anon, I know that kind of thing can be difficult. I hope you're doing well regardless
>>737825885I am, I've been having fun with commissioning artists, and marathon of course, but just fell out of favor of writing for other hobbiesI appreciate it though, always fun seeing you in threads
>>737825982Based, have a good day.
