fake

People always talk about the “secret sauce” that makes a game stand out from the rest. Marathon genuinely has it. It’s basically a fountain of interwoven systems that come together to create one of the most addictive and satisfying FPS loops I’ve played in a long time.

What’s been wild to see though is the backlash. The pre and launch “dunk campaigns” were some of the loudest I’ve seen in years, and a lot of it came from people who had no intention of ever playing. It felt less like critique and more like people being set on seeing Bungie fail.

Meanwhile, we’re in a space where AAA studios drop their 100th sequel year after year with barely a ripple. So seeing something actually try to push its genre forward get hit like that feels off and for me, it's hard not to get angry about.

I still think Marathon, with the right pacing on updates, improved onboarding, and Bungie doing what they do best on the marketing side, can absolutely find its stride again.

Unfortunately, this. Searching for any individual sentence in this image results in no hits. Someone just typed some gay shit in MSPaint and posted it, which is why there's not even the same spacing between certain lines or consistent wrapping.

This is probably the same guy that was doing the same thing, faking the success of Wukong.

This is FAKE!
Why can’t Chuds just accept that Marathon is a SUCCESS?!

>Marathon mindbroke /v/ so hard it got them writing essays in MS paint
Whats even sadder is SAAROS is getting by unscathed from the culture warriors despite being 1000x more woke than Marathon. WILD allocation of priorities /v/…
