> it has the highest concurrent peak on steam out of all playstation games> it sustained 50k daily peaks during the first month, 40-30k in the second month and 20-10k by the end season> season 2 in a week> more than half of bungie and sony itself behind it for five more seasons> d2 no longer in the way> will unironically win mp of the year at GOTY, sony will make sure of that as a sponsor of the eventhow marathon keeps winning like that
>>739532297remind that daily 10k peaks means along a period of 24 hours a got 150k people logged into the game, pretty impressive for late late season es
D2 no longer holding it back
>>739532297MAAM HOW YOU DO IT MAAM YOU WIN IT AT THE GOTY MAAM
>>739532364* around 150k people
>>739532368they don't deserve d3 honestly, but i'm sure ir will be made
couldn't care less if this game succeeds or not. i never boughted it since i wasn't the target audience
>>739532390it will take soundtrack of the year for sure
bungler please make the game less grindy in season 2 (at least adjust the gold salvage drop rate jesus christ)t. 330 hours
>>739532478it is very fun anon, the tension and the adrenaline of a bag full of loot that you can lose at any second from any angle, is the perfect manhunt simulation game. give it a try if they ever do a free weekend
>>739532297Edgerunners Rebecca if safe and lame
>>739532594they said they will smooth progression in the last blog post, i have 500 hours in the game and i don't have all nodes unlocked yet and it is ludicrous. if you put 100-200 hours in it each season you should reach end season with all unlocked
>>739532684agreed, I think the shop is also very bare-bonesif they are not gonna have everything on sale at least rotate them so you could buy the stuff you want to play with at some pointsekiguchi already does this with the cores so why aren't the othersschemas aren't really farmable so if you want to play with some basic ass guns like the magnum or the scar you are just fuckedthe barters are also pretty ass, I've only traded ammo with the excess salvage I had after the upgradesbut every problem this game has is pretty easy to adjust so I just hope bungie doesn't fumble the next season since it might be the last chance they get
>>739533148season 1 was strangely stingy and overly concerned with item economy, if the end season is anything to go by theyll become more laxed
>>739532297who is that pink cat i keep seen
>>739532297i keep getting raped at cryo all day can't people be nice for once during the last week
Can't wait for season 2. Gonna jump straight back in.
>>739536373we know nothing about sentinel yet, i'm pumped
>>739536373I still need to hit level 100 after slacking for a few weeks...Solo XP being slow as fuck for 70% of the season and 90% of my playtime didn't help
>>739536656we get 50% xp bonus till s2, also they buffed the ex for killing uesc, you can do it
>>739536819Oh I know I can do it, alongside hitting 1 million credits, went and grinded faction XP and seki contracts were like 60% of it and I barely looted at all since it was mostly done on perimiter
>>739532602zamn vandal caked up fr fr
>>739532297Is your game fun and should I buy it
>>739537113It's fun but unforgiving, I'd wait for season two though
>>739537113it is glorious, see you in season 2 next week
> it has the highest concurrent peak on steam out of all playstation gameshow is this anything, playstation just announced they were going to stop selling their shit on steam because it doesnt do well > it sustained 50k daily peaks during the first month, 40-30k in the second month and 20-10k by the end seasonthats bad if you didnt know> season 2 in a week"were in it for the long haul!"> more than half of bungie and sony itself behind it for five more seasonssee above> d2 no longer in the wayso bad it killed destiny with it> will unironically win mp of the year at GOTY, sony will make sure of that as a sponsor of the eventadmitting to paid awards, maratroons are amazingly pathetic
>>739532364may we see these numbers?
>>739537646the raped retards arrived lmao
>>739537684this is marathon general not a numbes thread but the game sold well over 2 million copies, we are GOOD
>>739537684you know concurrent peak players are not how many players the game had any given day, right? if a game has 10k concurrent in 24 hours that means anything between 150 and 200 thousand people logged that day
>>739532297>it has the highest concurrent peak on steam out of all playstation gamesWhy do you street shitters love lying so much?
>>739537646Sony is pulling games from pc beucase they don't want to dilute their brand a year away from the ps6 launch, but on that topic... Ragnarok had a 77k peak and sold 4+ million copies on pc while marathon had a.. 88k peak? i think the game is... good
>>739537986helldivers 2 is not a playstation game, they only have a publishing deal with sony, marathon is fully owned by sony and it beat both the last of us and dog of war on pc, and both those game solds 4 million copies+, cope
>>739538063* God, kek
>>739537991>Ragnarok had a 77k peak and sold 4+ million copies on pc while marathon had a.. 88k peak? i think the game is... goodmy man, we know how much marathon sold and it sure as hell wasn't 4 million
>>739537113hell nah nigga
>>739537815you know even if those werent crackhead numbers pulled out of your ass it would have to be a stable 10k throughout the day or your math wouldn't check out right it dips as low as 3k
>>739538225yes, it was 2.5 million during season 1 by the volume of reviews on steam and rates on the ps5, with 1.2 million confirmed for the first two weeks of launch
>>739538305It hasnt even hit 1.5m yet
>>739538341so in your mind a game would sell 1.2 million copies by week 2 and then 0 copies by week 3? that is now how it works
>>739538369Yes lmaoThe game has dogshit WoM and its legs were completely lopped offEven the first sale did nothing
>>739538278you should tell the sony executives because they are the ones who greenlit five more seasons as per paul tassi internal sources
>>739538410Late April analytics tells 2.2 million, it is safely over 2.5 by now, find a new cope
>>739538481No? All trends are showing that it did not sell at all.
>>739538503i guess we will find out soon since the game will be featured front and center at the upcoming state of play
>>739538559???What does that have to do with the fact that it fucking flopped?
>>739537113YES
>>739538601at every new season, those games like to give out their seasonal metrics, i guess you're new to extraction shooters
>>739538658lmaooooBungie is not fonna say anything about how "well" marathon did
>>739538690did well enough to warrant daily general threads on this board, dw, they will continue for years
>>739532297>it sustained 50k daily peaks during the first monthWrong.>40-30k in the second month Also wrongDid I take the bait?
>>739538063>both those game solds 4 million copieslmao
>>739532297>> it has the highest concurrent peak on steam out of all playstation gamesHelldivers is literally published by Playstation and crushes it you fagtardMake a fun PvE game next time.
>>739538919helldivers is only published by playstation, arrowhead is not sony's
>20-10klollmaoway too convenient adding that 20250million dev cost and burning cash with that washington office
>>739539003and they will burn for five more season as per sony mandate, according to paul tassi
>>739538986>if i ignore what publishing entails that means i'm rightdumb retard, sony literally owns the helldivers IP. it is a playstation game.
>>739539043They're free to waste as much money as they want. Won't stop it from being wasted money.
>>739539043until they get forced to fire half the staff to mitigate losses as marathon continues to disappoint and bungie becomes a burden
>>739539065honestly bungie spending millions on shills, updates, servers and marketing while the game is still hundreds of millions away from breaking even is almost funnier than it just shutting down
>>739532478That's reasonable, extraction shooters aren't for everyone.
>>739532297>it has the highest concurrent peak on steam out of all playstation gamesYeah you'd fucking hope so when those other games are singleplayer and years old.>it sustained 50k daily peaks during the first month, 40-30k in the second month and 20-10k by the end season That's a pretty massive drop.>will unironically win mp of the year at GOTY, sony will make sure of that as a sponsor of the eventHoly shit what level of cope is this?>>739532364>remind that daily 10k peaks means along a period of 24 hours a got 150k people logged into the gameWhy doed that matter? Those numbers are still abysmal compared to other games, especially when you remember this shit cost sony 4 fucking billion dollars.>>739537749>the game sold well over 2 million copiesThat's abysmal compared to the budget.
>>739532297>> it has the highest concurrent peak on steam out of all playstation gamesexcept for destiny 2, which has at least 4k more than it every day
>>739532297Arc Raiders does better than it
>nooooo you dont understand.... i NEEED to use my precious time learning the ins and outs of a giga corporations finances because.... because i just HAVE TO OKAY!?!?! i NEED to obsessively check the player numbers of a game i will never play because i am a totally SANE AND STABLE INDIVIDUAL
>>739535348Felini unit. The lore is that since the Marathon expedition didn't bring cats to Tau Ceti IV (they did bring livestock, though), they would instead bring scientists that could make an artificial cat, for people to keep as pets. The one you can find in-game is a rogue unit with active camo. For some reason, all doors open for it.
>>739542973shill harder, you're close but it's no cigar
>>739537113Wait until season 2. Right now, the game is pretty hostile to new players (even more so than usual). Maybe also check how season 2 will perform. If it has little to no effect on the player count, there it probably no point in buying.
>>739543242you still lost lmao
>>739532297>> it has the highest concurrent peak on steam out of all playstation gamesWhat would your mother think of you straight up lying on the internet
>>739543486Not much is changing in the S2 update. Without a steep discount there's no reason to pay attention to the game. It needs big gameplay overhauls from movement to social objectives a hideout better gun & character visuals. Just a lot missing.
>>739532297I hope to god the PvE mode isnt a copy/paste of the extraction mode but with no players. That shit would be boring. It really needs to be its own thing. Witchfire is their best north star.
>>739537113>gachafaggot We don't want your kind in here, kill yourself
>>739532297> it has the highest concurrent peak on steam out of all playstation games>> it sustained 50k daily peaks during the first month, 40-30k in the second month and 20-10k by the end seasonWrong.>> more than half of bungie and sony itself behind it for five more seasonsThey need that much to damage control their game because the investment of buying Bungie is a massive bust otherwise>> will unironically win mp of the year at GOTY, sony will make sure of that as a sponsor of the eventMore damage control and admission that buying them was a huge misplay.Imagine being a sonykek
4 digits daily peak soon
I wish I had people to play marathon with, All my destiny friends are trooning out over recent news and I have no one to squad up with.
Why did this game need to be called Marathon?
>this is fine
>>739537749>>739537815
>>739544237I'll quote a recent Bungie blogpost:>In Season 2 we'll be starting that journey with some things we'll be adding to the mix, including a new dimension of challenge with Night Marsh, a new defensive Runner shell Sentinel, new weapons and equipment, a revamp to how you acquire Runner shell stats to give you more options with the Cradle, and increased progression rates for faction and Runner levels.>In Season 2, we’ll be adding a Duos rotating zone queue. >In Season 2, we’ll be adding a new matchmaking system that helps players find better quality matches with more flex for higher-end players. >In Season 2, we’ll be expanding the max size of your Vault.>In Season 2, we will be experimenting with two modes, one at the beginning of the season and one towards the middle/latter half of the season. The experimental mode at the beginning of the season will focus more on PVE, but with a light touch of PVP. The second experimental mode will be a PVE-only mode that’s focused on crews being tasked with completing objectives together and making some progress across matches.Seems pretty sizable to me. But a shooting range isn't coming until Season 3 at least.>For Season 3 and beyond, we’re working on improving our onboarding experience to make it less overwhelming for new players.Also, what do you think is wrong with movement?
>Launch: ARC RAIDERS BTFO 88K LAUNCH PLAYERS LESS GO>2 days later: well its not going higher but the weekend will save it>1 week later: 50K is a good number and it has stabilized >2 weeks later: 40k is good you chud>1 month later: it finally stabilized at 20K YOU CHUD>Now: LOOK UHH ITS BARELY SCRAPING 10K WE PROMISE IT WON'T GO ANY LOWER PLEASE DON'T PULL THE PLUG SONY SAMA WE WILL KEEP BLASTING EVEN IN OUR SLEEPthe vibe change around this game reminds me of Nintendo fans 1 year after the WIIU launched, keep mining all of that copium
I started playing Marathon to spite the people who kept doomposting about it. Surprise surprise, the games good.
>>739546248It could be better.
The game is so fucking stressful. I would not recommend it to the majority of people just from how much prolonged sessions will fuck with your mind and body.
I need these niggas to release a seasonal story remake of Marathon 1’s opening level with Mick Gordan doing the OST.
>>739532297>out of all PS gamesNo gaems>50k ccu month oneDo you just mean march? Marathon dropped below 40k ccu peaks in under 30 days of release.>season 2 in a weekGet to grinding the exact same content over again>five more seasons, half of bungie4 more seasons, S1 ends in a week remember? And Sony is firing half of Bungie.>D2 goneD2 was never in the way, it was abandonware for two years and still makes more money and pulls more players>mp gotyLol>>739532602Post the real one
>>739547270>Post the real oneWhy? Both versions are fanmade.
>>739532297Call me a faggot all you want but i actually really like the artstyle.Still not gonna buy or play it because extraction shooters suck dick but hey.
>>739547642Ten chudbucks have been added to your account
I'm still having a blast
>You can now do solo CryoI was wondering if this was intentional, but considering that you can't use the daily free cryo kits for ranked cryo since they don't have that badge thing, it probably wasn't.
You know, if Valve made the next Half-Life an extraction shooter like Marathon, it would've be an astounding success, bigger than deadlock even
marathon copers are funnier when you realise half of them aren't shitposting and that they actually do have personal stake in the longevity of the game
