MARATHON END SEASON AND SEASON 2 HYPE GET IN HERE
>>739187828best fps since titan fall 2
>>739187828It better be good, after finishing the contracts it's boring because I don't have a nolife poopsock discord kitten ranch
>>739188036the loot rampup is crazy + 12 straight days of cryo boys
>>739187828I'm betting bump in numbers with a return to 10k average peak within 3 or 4 weeks.
>>739187828Impossible to make her cute
>>739187828They put something in those burgers to make you forget
>>739188134nobody gives a fuck about player numbers little bro, sony will subsidise it for years just like they did with the ps3 when it initially flop beucase they know all their gaas initiative hangs on it and they can't afford any further loss in consumer trust after concord. if hunters gathering unperform they'll do the same, they're a 122 billion dollar company with 32% profit turns, they being the defacto platform for call of duty and fortnite can afford them 10 more marathons and it won't affect 5% of their bottomline. strap up for years of marathon and see you at the state of play for a BANGER saeason 2 trailer.
>>739188260
Oh yeah, that happened
>>739188382concord was the black kid who did life for cooking meth, marathon is the rich white kid son of the judge who went scot free from running kids over while drunk driving
Siva won BTW and marathon completely lostEnjoy your ugly troon game while it lasts kek
>>739188734We need to start doing wedgies on obsessed destinysissies
>>739188734while it last for years cause marathon is the new template for bungie and sony
>>739188821a game that can be operated by 400 devs in 3 months cycles for 1/4 of the cost of a destiny 2 expansion, yeah, they'll move foward with more of those now that marathon sold 2+ million despite having everything stacked against it
>>739188930saros has has 6k rates on the ps5 while marathon has 13k, if saros solds around 300k is is safe to assume marathon sold 700k on the ps5, taking that ps5 is 20% of marathon playerbase then we can extrapolate that marathon sold... 2.5 million copies during season 1. it's over for chuds.
>>739188382>nobody gives a fuck about player numbers >proceed to explain how sony actually really caresYou realize sony subsidizing marathon isn't just to show off that the game isn't shut down, they do it expecting eventual returns in the long term. Problem is, that time is running short with the already 2 conscutive impairment losses of bungie in the last two quarters. We already have reports of sony tightening their grip over bungie after the midly received first gameplay trailer/closed beta/plagiarism scandal last year.When you look at games that turned their shit around from a disastrous launch, it always takes years. Can sony really allow itself to spend 5 years trying to save marathon as a live service designed to last maybe a decade before massively losing players interest and profits over time, while everyone else marches on? I'm not convinced.
>>739188382While I think you may be right that it may get subsidized for a long time, the numbers affect how big of a hole sony is digging. It's already the undisputed bomb of the year, losing a quarter billion dollars, and that's not accounting for the imparment and stock value. This is easily one of the top 10 of all time bombs as far as finances go.A related question is how big of a bomb will Fairgames and Horizon hunters be in comparison? Sony is already positioning Fairgames as F2p extraction, which shows zero confidence in Marathon.
>>739189142lotas of typos sorry, early drinking today, wtv marathon rocks
>>739189173Other companies have done big pivots successfully before, like CP, the original Tortanic, NMS, and the original destiny, but all those had strong initial purchases. I think Marathon dies as soon as Sony figures out what Bungie's next big project is, however long that takes.
>>739187828playercounts will crash even harder after the wipeonly PvE can bring back the wider audience and even then only if the stubborn devs don't try to make it funnel players back to the main modePvE players must be allowed to NEVER have to even look at PvP
>>739189142The marathon discord/devs/shills desperately begged people to leave reviews everywhere. By number of reviews on steam the game should have sold 2 or 3 times to amount we know it sold.
>>739189204>>739189142And it shows in your quant and comparables. Tighten it up son. You're an embarrassment.
>>739189173it can pan out in the end or not, my point is we will have the 5 seasons outlined by the director so the future of the game is not bound by steam charts for the next year
I MISSED most of season 1.
>>739189645It demands more on sony's strategy than the director's wish or roadmap.
>>739189203marathon is pivoting from an extraction shooter to become a social survival game like arc, they'll give it a year to become one and see what to do from there
>>739189726depends more*
>>739189726fairgames will be the free entry extraction and marathon the premium offering, i personally don't think fairgames will bomb, niggas will play anything if it's free
>>739189726sony backed the director saying that is exactly what they will do, you cuck, see you in 12 months
>>739189724HOP ON WE HAVE ROOM KEYS IN EVERY WARDEN
>>739190024Sony execs say plenty of stuff before changing their minds. Like more ps games on pc. Or wanting a dozen live service games in 2025 and cancelling 8 of them.
Actual new content.
>>739190024erm, don't look at the charts but it looks like we are gonna peak at 15K today on a Tuesday and the new content is not even out yet, just the end season events. 50-60k peak at the start of s2 easy, prepare for the "marathon is saved" headlines
>>739190306you realize season 2 and 3 are done in advance of the release (night dire marsh was playable as early as the alpha in january 2025) and they're developing season 4 and 5 as we speak, right?
>>739188734>google siva>its some indian godthey not even hiding anymore
>>739189924>niggas will play anything if it's freeWelcome to Highguard.
>>739190890free and not utter dogshit, highguard was under 5k peak in a week and it was FREE, marathon is $40 and is retaining 10K+ daily on the late season when there is no more game to play
Is there offline PvE yet?
raped game
Marathon was a flop and Sony will keep throwing money at it until it makes a profit (it won't).
>>739190963fairgames looks like utter dogshit to mewhy are you talking about marthon? are you a bot?
>>739191053they can afford 10 more marathons and be fine with your cod and fortnite money
>>739190706So? I'm telling you it's more about the changing whims of the higher ups at sony and your reply is to tell me bungie gutted the release to pretend they have a good live service development speed for a few months. Are you sure you aren't asking for bungie to get disbanded or something?
>>739191124i love marathon and i do agree fairgames does not suit my tastes but then again we don't see the game in over 2 years, i will give it a shot once it comes out, and no captcha required hell yes
>>739191150if that were true concord would still be alivesony just doesnt want to look like a bitch who only makes gaas flops
>>739190996Duckov is down the road two blocks down.
oh yeah that happened
>>739191324does anyone other than the sister baitbumping think this didn't fail?numbers will never bounce especially because it has the stench of death spiral and people dont waste their time on death spiraling garbage even if it was ftp it wouldn't bounce
>>739190996experimental pve playlist in season 2, full pve mode in season 3
I actually kind of like marathon but i still want it to fail because fuck bungie
>>739191324pull the plug on concord was a hurried panic decision they learned from never to repeat again cause it degrades consumer trust, i personally think they should just put the game back online for free since the costs of running servers would be null
>>739189783Doing this risks pissing off the small, but very dedicated fans they have. Plus they need to convince people to give them a shot. Can they make that pivot in a year? Can they make their monetization not compeltely fucking ass to pay for any of this shit? I'm skeptical, but lets see what happens.
>>739191548the game is good little bro, play with me
>>739191585it pisses nobody cus i dosen't subtract anything from the game, it only adds, if the pve playlist does not suit me i will play the ranked playlist, it only turns the game modular like... destiny
>>739191580yes thats what i said?sony is forced to keep the lights on even if they dont get any profits and it costs them money otherwise they will look like a bitch that only releases gaas flops (they are)
>>739188382the cope has already begun
get the defib...
>>739190996it starts in june I think
>>739187828more like MaraGone lmaooooooo
>>739191629No it’s not, sarcastic niggerbabble proves this
i'm blasting
>>739187828A THIRD THIEF BUNDLE?
im returning
>>739192797500 hours of marathon on the ps5, your loss
>>739193159"acid abyss" just like between her legs
>>739193226sad
>>739193167welcome back, see you in cryo
>>739193430no, i had the best time of my life with this game, this is the real deal and i would not waste my time with miserables online otherwise, marathon is gem and i can't wait to get back home and light up my ps5 for a four hour sesh
>>739193541>no, i had the best time of my life with this gamestill sad
>>739192569Which one is bigger flop?
>>739188382Bold assumption when every fucking normie i asociate with plans on building a PC.Seriously, Sony fucks up big time.No exclusives, kills studios left and right, no experimental or novel games, they upped the cost for PS+ again.
>>739188382>Nobody gives a fuck about players numbers little broApparently you do.
>>739188382The last state of play I watched is the one where Fairgame$ and Marathon were revealed. You know how long ago that was?
>>739188382>can afford them 10 more marathons and it won't affect 5% of their bottomlineTell that to the shareholders though. I'm not one of these tortanic fags but the fact that we've had high profile games like Concord and Highguard get shut down due to underperforming is the active reason a lot of potential players aren't gonna bother throwing down $40 in something that may only last a year (including me)
>>739195313>spam steamcharts endlessly in every single thread>"bro no one cares, move on">"heh, you responded so that proves you care"Yeah fuck off.
>>739188260Clearly you didn't see the short film.
The game needs some cuter skins.
>>739194506Argueably Marathon. Payday 3 is terrible and has less players but it also doesnt have even close to the same amount of money and development. Also noone bought their company for almost $4 billion.
Giga retarded of bungie to not let solos or duos do cryo, only just now got vault 1&2 done cause we finally got a third to play with us. Cool map though
fill all female shells with too much goo
>>739188382So it costs them millions of dollars per day to spite the chuds while they can do the same to them for free. I wonder who will bend the knee first.
>>>/vg/
>>739188813D2 fags deserve to get their game shutdown for unironically starting this whole Marathon hate campaign. I hope June brings about their end of service update. Its clear all parties involved want to move away from D2. After all, its the sole reason Bungie is in the hole right now with Sony.
>>739193159it has kino lore
>>739190887Thats because you have to search up "Destiny siva" since Indians are more likely to search up their shit God compared to kino technology but I wouldnt expect you marasisses to search it up since destiny 1 won lol
>>739195480OMG $40, THINK OF THE $40, are people this poor?
>>739200824>shilling the slop packsLmao
Lock in and buy some lux, normies
>>739200945i spent $400 so far, would spend more if they made more, i'd say the playerbase for this game spends alot cus i don't go a single game without someone wearing a premium bundle skin
>>739200917people don't like having their things stolen
>>739201024Great to hear
>>739201090the game is not going anywhere, hell, destiny 1 servers are still up without anyone playing
>>739201024Damn… Thanks for supporting the game whalebro.
>>739194506Marathon. Marathon lost enough to make 3 payday 3's and is losing millions a month in additional dev. >>739201024Post your shell.
>>739200824>Superior Thief Packmore like a Supporter Pack since Bungie needs every penny from the suckers that buy this crap
>>739201197maybe not, but pretending there's not a threat of it being shut down would be bull. Personally I want the game to do well
>>739201274i will buy as long as they sell and they're being shy so far, make sure to buy the new season pass for s2
>>739191768The PVP specialists screeching contradict you. It splits the remaining playerbase, particularly the low end that was getting camped at extraction all the time.And they aren't getting the budget to make a new destiny. Pretty much all the design focus on this game went into making it pvp and away from PVE.
>>739201295every pack owner + 14k in lux currency (~$140)
I'd buy a Recon skin if they ever made a nice-looking one.
>>739202056
>>739202593The leaked rabbit one looks good.
>>739202593the one she has currently with the black and pink is pretty dope but yeah, her only rotating bundle was kinda weak and since then we had THREE thief and vandal packs and nothing for destroyer, we live in a ginocracy
>>739202658i will buy $50 extra rn just to piss you further
>>739191768>it only turns the game modular like... destinyyou mean the destiny that had horrible problems with queue times and player segmentation? that destiny?
>>739202686The Arachne sponsored skin is the best one for her currently.
>>739202749buy $100. no- $200. that'll really annoy him.
>>739202917i can buy $300 i'm a pretty girl with a findom acc, my money is infinite
>>739202663>>739202686We reconcels suffer... and the tracker drone is still useless.
>>739203148Tracker drone is good in open areas but yeah it's still shit at navigating buildings.
>>739203148if we don't get new triage cosmetics soon i'm gonna lose it
>>739203252I need a triage skin that makes him not look or sound like a nigger.
>>739203375he is my sweet boy and his voice is very cute
>>739203812
>>739187915
>>739203881i'm a blue eyed blondie and i only date black boys since high school, so he is totally my type
>i'm a blue eyed blondie and i only date black boys since high school, so he is totally my type
>>739188930>1/4th the cost of a Destiny 2 expansion>Marathon's development cost at least $250mAnon, if you think a single Destiny 2 expansion cost one billion dollars, you're the stupidest person on this board.>sold 2+ millionNo, it allegedly had 2.2m players. That number included people playing for free during the Server Slam. Units sold is hovering around 1.5m based on the observable data.
even maratroons themselves are starting to hate the game after hundreds of hours poured in, it's over
>>739191150>Sony can afford itYou know they closed two studios this year, right?
>>739188382>nobody gives a fuck about player numbers little bro *insert wall of text about how he gives a fuck* lmao
>>739204234They still have 2 massive big budget turds incoming>fairgames$>horizion slop
>>739204164i'm from argentina and my first vacation to rio de janeiro changed me
>>739189203>This is easily one of the top 10 of all time bombs as far as finances gomore like #1. Sony lost 4 Billion dollars on Bungie.
>>739204305weren't there supposed to be 10 sony gaaslops in total? should be more than 2
>>739188683based.
>>739204305>fairgame$Every time it gets brought up I remember it exists and wonder why Sony hasn't cancelled it. That was Jade Raymond's studio, right? >>739204440You can't count Bungie's purchase cost with Marathon. If Sony ever closes Bungie or fires everyone and writes the rest of the purchase off, you can
>You can't count Bungie's purchase cost with Marathon. If Sony ever closes Bungie or fires everyone and writes the rest of the purchase off, you canNigga, the whole studio had all their eggs in one basket, and that basket is Marathon.
>>739204614>Nigga, the whole studio had all their eggs in one basket, and that basket is Marathon.Oh shit I didn't realize that Destiny and Halo have made literally zero dollars.
>>739204614meh they could just shit out barebones Destiny 3 in a year with retextured Marathon assets and their ride-or-die fans would still eat it up to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars or just release Destiny 2 classic with all the vaulted content brought back
>>739204765>HaloBungie sold Halo to Microsoft almost a decade ago.>DestinyThat franchise made all of its money before Sony bought it. Now, they're just getting the drizzling shits of D2 as it dies in hospice care.
Nothing will happen and putting a darkness map in fucking summer is an abnormally retarded ideaI still hate them for ruining the knife and the shotgun so I hope the game burns down bye
>>739205154Don't worry it will only get worse until sony decides to finally slam their foot down lol
>>739205256I think this 180 to 'ok, now there's PVE in our PVP only game' is Sony putting their foot down.Or at least Sony pulling out their knife and holding it out so Bungie can see how sharp it is.
>>739205335Yeah definitely the knife thing where its like>we've wasted money on you just to make a game thats for nobody so heres what your gonna do... get a pve audience attached to your game so we can make some fucking money and do something with your shit IP otherwise youll end up like blue point
>>739202971You know the drill, tits or gtfo, there are no girls on the internet, yadda yadda
>>739204514>can't count bungie's purchase cost>bungie was responsible for Concord>bungie got all other Sony gaas shut down in utero>bungie tried to kill helldivers2 with the worst consulting ideas of all time>marathon cost upwards of $250m and at minimum $3m per month since>gummybears lolBungie has been responsible for over $5b in losses for Sony and all they have to show for it is 10k(17k) daily peak players. >but destiny has like 60k daily peak players across all platformsDestiny is dead and the things people are asking for, Destiny classic/D3 vanilla, are partially owned by microsoft, so never happening.
GUYS I THINK SOMEONE IS BLASTING THE SERVERS
