Looks like Bungie is asking the players what they think about some experimental skins. This is to address everyone saying that the cosmetics suck, causing low MTX revenue.
>>739098083Not a single one of these fixes the laundry list of issues with this highly troubled and feature-light game.
>>739098672It's a big studio, they can work on multiple things at once.
>>739098715>launches with three maps, one enemy type and zero story cinematics in game >everything is balanced for trios onlyBillions of dollars on the line and they think that'll do
>Subject: Marathon>Name: """""Anonymous"""""
Damn those are ugly. They assassinated Destiny's art style as practice to go full retard in Maraflop.
>>739098083Yeah, that's not paying for the 400 devs they have working on this shit.
>>739099543WHAT DO YOU MEAN??? DESTINY DIED SO MARATHON COULD DIE
>>739098083Just buy, bro
There will never be good cosmetics because the entire artstyle is fucking horrendous and is maybe wacky 8 hour long indie shooter material on a good day.
>>739098083They still look like anthropomorphized toilets and bathroom utilities.
>>739098083interesting idea to get more formal feedback that their cosmetics suck ass along with their "experimental" ideascertainly shows at least some people internally know nobody likes the art direction, maybe they need the feedback to make some changes so they have data points from people who play the game
>>739098083These look pretty cool actually why are they not in the game from launch instead of the recolors?
the raped blasting hard in the porcelain
>>739101431They didn't exist at launch. Even those are just concepts. I guess Bungie thought they could get away with it.
>>739098083The anime skin might have worked if they didn't also decide to make it ugly.
>>739098083with the death of this slop games will finally stop being woke
>>739102739Vandal needs contrasting lipstick to not look ugly. Her anticaution skin is a good example of that.
goddamn they really are going out of their way to make everything ugly
>>739099025>zero story cinematics in gameThere is the intro one. 2 if you count unlocking Cryo Archive. But what kind of metric is this, anyway?
>>739101451OH NO NO NO
>>739108301so close to the sub 3k mark bros
>>739102739>if early 00s anime protag was a Chud
>>7391083013000 RETVRN TO FORM BLAST HAVER CHADS
Destiny 1 wonMarathon lost Destiny 2 lost
>>739098083fucking kek what a piece of shit
>>739098083kwab
>>739100432kek
>>739098083Even in Marathon they cannot escape from their asymetrical slop cosmetics. This will not save the game anyway, Bungie will be raped... it is inevitable.
why don't they just release halo 3 multiplayer gamemodes?they already have a good base game just need fun gamemodes instead of the same boring extraction shooter
>>739108301breh this is wow private server numbers
>>739108301city of heroes sex scandal redux numbers
>>739113135bungie is raped
>>739098083>This is to address everyone saying that the cosmetics suck, causing low MTX revenue.Curious, I thought modern gamers wanted mature games with artistic designs and sophisticated narratives, but then they refuse to pay for them when they're made? And yet low-brow gacha games that cater to simplistic tastes and juvenile interests seem to rake in the dough
>Bungie actually asking and taking feedbackThis is why I believe Destiny 3 is already in development and this is a side project from a B team, they would never.
>>739098083Those certainly look better than most of the skins in the game now but the only one I think actually looks good is the white rabbit recon. Still wouldn't buy any of them myself because I find the concept of skins for an exclusively first person game retarded.
>>739113981>but how can I make this about my coomer culture war garbage?The problem is whoever they brought as lead for the game is too streamerbrained and kept skins as simple boring recolors because changing the silhouette too much wouldn't be esports friendly and such. They should, correctly, stop thinking like this.Have sex btw
>>739114235Sure, buddy, no doubt Bungie will turn this one around. They just need to ease up on the design restrictions a bit and the game will see a second wind that will bring in millions of new players. After all, Sony said in an earnings call that they're committed to supporting the game for years, and they wouldn't just say something like that to appease investors and shareholders while preparing for the worst behind the scenes, right?
>>739114180having skins and microtransactions for a 40 dollar box price game is retarded in the first place, how greedy are these fucking niggers
>>739098083Sad thing is, some of these designs could be good if they were toned down a bit. It's like they got put in a blender to try and be "different" and are offputting because of it, but the potential was there at some point.
>>739114235dilate tranny btw
>>739098083If you got ask what type of "content" should be dropped on your trans friendly game than you already lost
>Not a single White modelAnd people were trying to say this game is not woke
>>739115421Recon, Assassin, and Vandal?
>>739098083MTX is the cancer killing video games
>>739115421Actually they're all Japanese. Thousand times weaved Yamato silk.
>>739113981legit made me laugh. It's a parody at this point
>>739098083
>>739118648That's why I saved it. Brown Dust 2 has some real gems, especially for Olivier
>>739098083you know a western studio is creatively bankrupt when they start introducing conspicuous eastern designs
>>739098083These all look like Kamen Rider villains that die in their debut episode so you'd need to go to a wiki to find out their names
>>739098083Absolute kinoMarathon truly is pearls before swine
>>739108301I need to see 4 digit peaks. This studio is so washed they could only make money off WoW adjacent Destiny losers if they were gambling thousands on P2W upgrades.These characters are so fucking ugly except assassin who just looks like a typical edgy guy. Releasing an online game with no cosmetics is insane Sony should fire them all.
I did not buy Marathon.
>>739121923
>>739098083they are so fucking scared of making anything sexual.... that's insane
>>739098083negroid skins
>>739122546Whenever you bring this up fans will pretend they don't understand while insulting you>Setting with robots and computer AI developing human even alien qualities>Has no underlying theme of emotionless sexualitywhat garbage
>>739124276>Setting with robots and computer AI developing human even alien qualities>Has no underlying theme of emotionless sexualityI'm not pretending, I genuinely don't understand what this means. Anyway, yeah, it wouldn't kill Bungie to at least add a hit of breasts on the female shells. I'm not even asking for cleavage, just the shape of the torso.
>>739124486a literal bot gets it but /v/ermin can'toh well enjoy your dead thread.
>>739122546Not quite. They're afraid of anything that might accidentally appeal to heterosexual males. The devs seem quite proud of their nonbinary gay male and trans reps previously, and this game leans heavily on post gender transhumanisim. The dev statements are pretty clear about their priorities. >>739125551Bye bitch. Try not to ride the ESLs so hard next time. They're still learning.>>739124486>Anyway, yeah, it wouldn't kill Bungie to at least add a hit of breasts on the female shells.I think there's an employee or two there that would actualy ack themselves if they did that.
>>739125551Wow, I didn't get any of that from the movie. I guess it genuinely was too deep for me.
>>739101431Because current bungie is ludicrously bloated and slow.>>739126997Don't sweat it. Phillip K Dick is multilayered, and the movies are too. Play blade runner game though. It's fucking awesome in it's early cd rom era jank.
>>739127930>Play blade runner game though.Do you get to shoot replicants in it? I hated those things in the movie.
>>739128193It's mostly a puzzle game, but the key gimmic is that each run randomizes which characters in the game are replicants, and you can Voight Kamph test them, and then you can DECIDE whether to release, arrest or kill. Those fucking replicants are killing ANIMALS.
>>739113981holy shot what games this from its peak!also their fault for buying their own gcj garbage nobody likes ugly everyone likes sex
>>739098083where are these from?
>>739098083Those look way better than the literal recolors they've had since launch. Still dont understand the appeal of skins like that in a FPS where you only see your hands though.
>>739098083Their cosmetics team is fucking retarded. Just make shit sexy and cool. Stop trying so hard to look cool yourself and put the effort into making the characters cool holy shit. Just do the same thing everyone else does
>>739130589>>739130871>expecting anything but trans roblox aesthetics from bungielmaoing at you retards
>>739102739would be badass if it had an anime face instead of a nigger's
>>739118707
>>739098083I dont play this trash but these look like what I would expet to be ingame unlocks, not noteworthy enough to be MTX purchases
>>739131537That just makes me wander what you would expect the purchases to be like.
>>739098083I like this one though it would be even better in a different game, the rest feel superfluous as if the designers would die if there wasn't something new whenever the viewer moved their eyes but it ends up making it feel messy rather than coordinated
>>739131959>shiny white skin with big shoulder pads>in an extraction shooterliterally pay to lose
>>739131959The problem writh Marathon's skins and character designs is that they're meant to appeal to no one. And I don't mean to say that they're soulless corporate slop. Quite the opposite. The game reeks of being a masturbatory artist project caged in by safety regulation.This is most evident in the White Rabbit skins. They're very blatantly supposed to be the sexed up series of the game between this and the Thief version, and they're maybe the best skins in the game independent of sex appeal because they change the model more than any other skin, and they're still just not very attractive. The aesthetic on the series is clearly supposed to call to mind feminine features and the association of rabbits with sexualization but neither skin actually has any sexual features at all.The game's design division is far too concerned with either playing safe or looking good to actually put the work in that's needed to sell skins. If they want to turn a profit, they don't necessarily have to sex up the robots, but they have to fucking decide on who they're selling skins too and how. The cosmetics as it stands are a fucking travesty.
>>739132665i mean yeah basically every design in the game is completely unfuckable which affects even the puritans because they're just kinda uncool as a result but I think the one i singled out would be nice as a feminine design for a mecha game
