What exactly is so "Woke" about Marathon? The lore is about a bunch of robots and corporations fighting on a space planet. That's it.That's literally IT.Can you even name one (1) thing that's OVERTLY woke about Marathon?>ER DA NIGGER CHARACTERHalo had Sgt Johnson. Try again.
>>740021780Jamie, Show the "Trannies devs at bungie" image, you know which, thank you.
>>740021780This is not my problem Stop asking
Characters look like disgusting trannys.
>>740021780hehe projector on head he he
>>740021780It's just self-hating Destiny fans.
>art style stolen from tranny>all of the character designs are made to look androgenous (except for george droyd) to fit in with the artstyle stolen from trannyshrimple as
tolerating one nigger character is how we got to today
>>740021968not every female character has to be a copy+paste chinese anime gacha sparkly eyed mass produced sex doll.
>>740021780Idk about woke but it looks garish.
>>740021780why their guns look like lego build?
>>740021903that's bungie not the game try again
>>740022065The Japanese made FF7. Barett was in that game. Based, honorary aryans did it. Explain that.
can you just ignore mentally ill /pol/fag critics for once?
It's mostly due to the devs and community that latched onto this game. Bungie has been super pro lgbtq+ and had pronouns in all of their dev videos. This attracted a lot of mentally unstable people that made it their mission to die on the hill for this mediocre extraction shooter. Also people may consider the game woke because none of the girls are attractive and the designs are pretty shit overall. Personally I'm not a fan of the artstyle.
>>740022140no, you don't understand anon. I simply detest things that have an association with trannies. It's like if a tranny stuck a dildo in her neogash then handed me a glass of water. I would be terrified to drink from that glass of water>oh but there's nothing inherently woke about WATER>Are you a BIGOT?????Yes but even if the water itself isn't woke, there are traces of tranny STDs floating around in there. Apply this concept to video games and you'll begin to understand my rationale
>>740022085I notice you didn't deny it.
Excess and overstimulating colors to try to elicit some sort of response from dopine receptors fried out doing drugs and taking cocks up the ass is the wokest anything can be.
>>740022175if you want copy+paste sex dolls go play some soulless chinese gacha game and fuck off
>>740021780
>>740022267Ok, let me clarify. The character designs in Marathon are fine. The characters are NOT meant to be gooner bait. Thats not the POINT. It's not a Jizz all over the place kind of game. It's a sci fi shooter.
>>740022146barett is japanese
>>740022085No but try to include at least one attractive female in your game. No male jaw, no broad shoulders, no androgyny. >a game about squirrels?>add a fuckable squirrel>a game about humanoid robots>add a fuckable robot girlIts that easy.
>>740022312I would rather have the original dark aesthetic.
>>740022418Still not denying it's all troon aesthetics
>>740021780Vandal is… fucking hot, and im tired of pretending she isnt.
>>740022418It's anti-coomer game then? W for Bungie
>>740022548have you ever interacted with a real life woman? not every woman has tiny shoulders. And I'm talking about biological females, not dirty transvestites.The robots in Marathon aren't meant to be "sexy". they are utilitarian killing machines.It's like adding big jiggly silicone breasts to a machine gun
How big is Vandal's futa cock
>>740021780A big chunk of this is because bungie's employees, and their own statements about the game. They claim that the shells, which have people being broadcast into shells that don't match their original sex or race is transhumanist post gender, one step beyond mere transgenderism. You see some of them have a little dysphoria as well. >>740021983Skibbidy do.
>>740022729The in-game codex has more details on runner's anatomy, you can check it out yourself
>>740022681>The robots in Marathon aren't meant to be "sexy". they are utilitarian killing machines.lmao
>>740021780Just take one look at the game. It's clearly 100% tranny oriented. The color schemes, the character designs, the "lore" the dialogue. It's cringe
>>740021780Marathon is woke for the following reasons:>made by Bungie, probably the most woke of the AAA studios like >>740021903 mentioned.>the characters are supposed to be disposable synthetic bodies, but Bungie went out of their way to make them clearly racial and gender phenotypes>character screen has the obvious black male character featured first, in a prominent position since westerners read left to right>none of the female characters are allowed to be sexy at all and have flat asses and little to no chests>Bungie was using pronouns in their developer diary videos for Marathon until just recentlyBasically, it's clear Bungie wanted more wokeness in the game and got told to hold back because Marathon has to succeed good luck with that, lmao but still put in their dei bullshit where they could plausibly get away with it.Now tongue my anus for making me type this out for at least the fifth time.
>>740022085The "female" characters in this are clearly men lmao
>>740022935>neon green = I want to cut off my penisso.... every construction worker wearing hi vis gear wants to cut off their penis?
>>740022954I wouldn't necessarily look at that character class and think he's black, he just looks like a man with a stupid helmet. The voice is what makes him obviously black.
>>740022681>have you ever interacted with a real life woman?I try to avoid it unless they are attractive. Fucking art students especially, thats the "I am insecure about my body and want everyone to know I have crippling anxiety" types that are everywhere here. I can do without them and trannies in real life so why would I want to see them represented in-game?
>>740022995I think your brain has been fried by chinese gacha games that make every woman super babyfaced with enormous eyes and tiny mouths.It's just based on realistic human proportions for an adult female.You should go outside and look at people.
>>740023093art hoes are sexo though....
>>740023075I'm talking about the character select screen. The black guy is helmetless and could not look more like George Droyd if Bungie tried.
Marathon is a huge flop and Bungie probably wont be around in the future. I give it at least 3-5 more years unless Bungie can announce a new game to convince Sony to give them more time. Bungie is a prime example of a corporate takeover ruining one of the best teams ever assembled in videogame history. I know Halo is pretty divisive even to this day but you can't deny the impact the series had in videogames overall. It was also a project made out of pure passion from people that genuinely loved videogames. Bungie was right to get away from Microsoft at the time but joining Activision right after was the final nail in the coffin essentially for them.
>>740021780It's just an obvious vibe. One look and you know. Listen to any of the dialogue and you can tell it was written by a talentless tranny or liberal arts feminist. The game has an inherent aura of insufferableness.
>>740023075NAHHHH THIS NIGGA LIGHTSKIN AS HEEEELLLLLL SHIEEEEEEEEEET
>>740023321what an ugly character design.
>>740023321Niggaroid
>>740023321NIGGATRON
>>740023321I was talking about the other one, the soldier guy with the helmet. Both have black voice actors.
>>740023321Nigger Automata
>>740021780Woke doesn’t mean anything anymore. Bitter faggots just call whatever they don’t like woke.
>>740023321Nogtimus Prime
>>740023238>those numbersPlease don't tell me that's after they started the f2p week with Marathon
>>740022418NTA, goonbait or not they look like shit. It could be the most sterile redesign possible and if they kept 95% of it, it looks like shit.
>>740023321Nig_OS
>>740021780Leftoids (especially trannies) are obsessed with body modification and transhumanist technology because it allows them to bypass their own genetics to become whatever they want and transgress beauty standards. Naturally, they gravitate towards Marathon because it depicts a future with 3D-printed environments and robots you can shove your consciousness into. Instead of using this freedom to design anything beautiful, they instead make the environment bland white and neon cubes like a futuristic form of brutalism and make the characters similarly uglified alt fashion tropes.
>>740023603thats taken right now, the free week starts tomorrow.
>>740023576Woke is fairly clear. What has happened, for a few years now, is that the gcj/restera/troonsky crowd have not had a woke game be good or successful, so they're trying to poison the well by saying shit like 'GTA5 has a black main character, I can't believe it's so woke'.Everyone sees through it, and woke games continue to (and will always) be embarrassing flops that just waste money and time.
>THE FUCK YOU SAID NIGGA?>IMMA INFIL INTO YO MOMMA'S PUSSY HO AND THEN EXFIL WHEN DA BABY COME OUT YOU FEEL?>SHIEEEEEEEEEEE
>>740023798he actually looks like a Baboon from certain angles. Sometimes I legit think he was meant to be like a space monkey
>>740023706Ok, I was gonna say that if it started today and that's what they're getting, they're beyond screwed
>>740023857if you said that in the marathon universe they would probably upload your mind to AI simulated hell for eternity for speaking up against blacks
>>740021780It isn't. At all.It's just a victim of the concord meme hate train where every new shooter with classes in it gets called "CONCORD SEQUEL" and all the typical markers of corporate hero shooter slop are hurled at it like insults regardless of whether they actually apply to the game or not.The closest thing to any woke-vibes, and this is REALLY reaching, is the gender neutral "transhumanism" themes the game explores, but they explore it through a sci-fi cyberpunk lens of losing your humanity as you upload it into a blank robot shell, not because of gender dysphoria.
>>740022108Everything is 3d printed, because its very, very far away in space. Raw materials are beamed as atoms or some shit (The lore is more technical than that but I dont know) and everything has to be made to fit the environment of being produced in some sort of floating shuttle above a far off planet.Its like asking "Why are the corridors in the ISS circles instead of square" Idk probably coz they need to be to function like that
>>740024694>hate trainOpinion discarded, tourist-kun.
>>740023638They really dont though. The colour schemes are a bit out there but the actual 3d models of the playable characters look good.>>740023798He sounds british in game
>>740024839ah, they went for the Safe Diversity british negroid character. Same with Valorant.Like putting a monkey in a suit and a tophat.
>>740024831I've been here about 15 years longer than you have little broIt literally is a hate train meme. Its gamers desperate for a tortanic except modern social media short format content has made hating on everything new even more popular than it was at tor's releaseTOR's hatred was a legitimate targeted beef because of people being fed up with Bioware and EA and them doing a cookie cutter WoW clone. And shit like "push a button, somethin awesome has to happen button awesome button awesome".This is just hate for the sake of hate
>>740024940>>>/pol/go.
>>740024940Pretty much. I have noticed lots of black coded characters being given british voices in games recently, probably for exactly the reason you said
>>740021780idk buddy you tell me
>>740024974>I've been here 15 yearsI doubt it, since you can't separate 'hate' from 'criticism.'/v/ didn't hate TOR any more than it hates Marathon or Concord. The board loves laughing at flops, especially big flops, and especially big flops that were seen coming a mile away.Anyone who's been on /v/ would know the difference, which is why I think you've betrayed yourself as some faggot from reddit that can't tolerate a thing they like being made fun of.
>>740025024its like they subconciously understand that giving blacks European characteristics makes them "more human" but they'll never fucking admit that blacks aren't humans.I hate tranny game devs So Much.

>>740021780Nobody says Marathon is woke except the retards who think everything that doesn't directly appeal to them is woke.
>>740024831The never of 13 year olds getting onto 4chan during Gamergate and thinking they get to pick and choose who is a tourist and who isn’t will never cease to amaze me. No place is safe from posers.
>>740025125>/v/ didn't hate TOR any more than it hates Marathon or Concord100% you weren't here when TOR release. I would bet a mid sized amount of money on it.

Every day Marathon is up and running Sony loses more money.>just two more weeks until profitability gusy
>>740025263Oh, but I was. From the start, even. Throughout>the obviously incomplete cutscenes with voice actors swapping midway through the same scene>the awful animations>the broken progression>EA turning off the unsubscribe button and blaming it on a 'glitch'>the birth of the TORtanic memesAnd it wasn't /v/ frothing at the mouth, demanding the game fail. It was /v/ watching the game fail, pointing out how it's failing, and having a great time shitposting about it. Just like it's did with Concord and Highguard, and just like it's doing now with Marathon.And none of it was hate, you retard. It was schadenfreude.>>740025358Because how else would you know it was a diverse black character?
>>740025358so dey can smack dey lips when they pop a niggas ass on Dire Marsh. Shieeee
>>740023321NIGVIDIA STOCK PRICES ARE FUCKED
>>740025358The shells are purposely given different human characteristics, basically to stop the human consciousness that gets uploaded into them from immediately trying to commit suicide from the mental overload of being put into a robot.They tested it with blank, battle droid looking shells and it caused mass mental breakdowns and mental illness. Turns out people can't mentally comprehend the feeling of being beamed into an inhuman body without snapping
>>740025437Sony loses money just because... I think they do! Alright?
If they add an Indian guy into Marathon and give him toxic gas abilities I WILL fucking install the game.
>>740021780>bigger bulge on the front than the back
>>740025125>flop>Marathontry harder. maragqds won.
>>740025441>It was /v/ watching the game fail, pointing out how it's failing, and having a great time shitposting about it.But it didnt failIt still has 9600 player daily peak right now on steam. It still gets content updates>And none of it was hate, you retard. It was schadenfreude.I said it was hate for the sake of hate. If you wanna call it schadenfreude for the sake of splitting hairs then whatever, I was still saying its people enjoying hating things.
>>740025546There's 10000% a tranny allegory in there somewhere. Thank you for confirming the wokeness.
>>740025585rent free
>>740021780it's just the art style that is woke. All the characters are colorful, amorphous blobs and the UI is corporate designer slop that you'd see on some art contest website. It also feels like you are playing a robot storywise against other robots, which is lame.
>>740025707>It also feels like you are playing a robot storywise against other robots>which is lame.
>>740025579Sony loses money on Marathon in two ways:>Bungie's operating costs (the biggest area of loss, probably $5-6m a month on the 400 devs attached to Marathon)>server hosting (an unknown amount, but higher than normal because the servers are 60hz)>>740025650>spend $300m or more on your game>make $55-60m>still in the red at least a quarter of a billion dollarsExplain how this is not a flop.>>740025665TORtanic flopped at the time and took almost a full year before it recovered, and took a further year after that before it became profitable.>hate and schadenfreude are the same thingThis is how I know you don't belong here.
>>740025661"I dont remember the exact budget" says journalist who hasnt ever worked on Marathon's developmentMakes sense. Journalists are well known for forgetting important facts about what they report on.
>>7400256614th month in a row reading this. Chudsissies... just give up.
>>740025694SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR
>>740025667>There's 10000% a tranny allegory in there somewhere. You can find an allegory for anything if you look hard enough. If thats what you want to find then sure
>>740025862 just admit that you're a transgender.
>>740021780People have come to associate wokeness with ugliness of this specific type. I mean bizarre disfiguring marks, colors of death and decay (gray, green, blue) on the human body, weird colored contact lenses. It may as well have "WOKE" written across every character's face.
>>740023713The word loses all meaning when you call everything you don’t like woke.
I actually love the way the game looks. The 8min trailer movie was kino.I JUST WISH THEY DIDN'T MAKE IT LIVE SERVICE MULTIPLAYER SLOP.That's where bungie fucked up.
>>740025796>Flopped at the timeIf an MMO is still running over a decade after launch, it is a literal success story of the genre. Thats not a flop by definition, its a rough launchIt reached a lifespan that only 2-5% of the genre roughly ever reaches. Like it or hate it, it was successful Also why are you arguing semantics with me about word definition, I was literally describing schadenfreude and you're getting mad that I didnt use the exact word. Who cares that much
>>740025941I will if you will We can do it together>>740026145Which is exactly what happens to games like marathon
>>740026160It can be both, anon. It's like how a movie can have a flop in the box office then go on to actually make money with the eventual consumer release later. That's basically what happened with TOR.>who caresDon't start whining about how /v/ 'hates' stuff then puss out when you start getting challenged on your retardation.>>740026145Marathon has many deficiencies, and being woke is one of them. Woke isn't the reason the game flopped, though.
>>740022085>not every female character has to be a copy+paste chinese anime gacha sparkly eyed mass produced sex doll.100% agreed but that depends on whether you wanna make money or not. I know there's some troonies around and some poltards and femcels around who bitch about this stuff for various reasons that make sense inside their skulls without having any relevance in reality but if you wanna be a business you have to make money, and one way of getting that is having appealing characters.
>>740021780the art style is gay
Wokies still trying to figure out why everyone can see their bullshit from a mile away
>>740026515good lord... look at the cake on that spartette. I know she would fucking obliterate me with one punch but I would still spank that ass
>>740021780It does not fit into the bubble-world-view they have created for themselves.Marathon is not woke. It has its issues, but woke is not one of them.
>>740026659kek, exactly that.
>>740026862The fent reactor in >>740025095 disagrees.
I love how adding one (1) black character causes v to seethe endlessly. like nigger go FUCK OFF and play your CCP sanctioned Gachas if you want COPY+PASTE ANIME LIGHT SKINNED GIRL #85394534554Fucking retards
>>740027196uh oh tranny dev melty. its almost as if having attractive characters = more people engaging with your media.
>I love how adding one (1) black character causes v to seethe endlessly. like nigger go FUCK OFF and play your CCP sanctioned Gachas if you want COPY+PASTE ANIME LIGHT SKINNED GIRL #85394534554>>Fucking retards
>>740027196>mentions ccp, gacha, light skin out of nowhere
>>740027196lol, so mad and completely having a melty.The game is overwhelmingly tranny coded and you are a disingenuous cunt.Can't wait for the game to shut down and prove to you freaks that you'll never sway the general population to accept your mental illness and degeneracy.
>>740027196he literally looks like a fucking coon that low tier god would hate more than the KKK
>>740027196>mentions "ccp" and "light skin" in the same post while defending tranniesthe ABSOLUTE STATE of BUNGIE
>>740021780Moratohn has no assAll the characters and imagery just have non-descript, gay ass designs that blue hairs would be content with
>>740027323>>740027334>>740027335>>740027393You are all responding rook lmao
oh nononono bros... the tranny dev is dilating. Better get out of the splash zone!
Are these people even a fans of Marathon? Did they buy the game, play it, and get the battlepasses?
>>740027196hey dude, relax. Oh, sorry I mean SXHE/HER. dont kill yourself over this ok? I meant SHEEE/XXXHIERRR
>>740027541It is very easy to gender Orion, _gantry, and the rest of your handlers. I dunno how people are so pressed about the runner models. Thief is literally right there if you want a female character.
>>740025667It's basic bitch transhumanism, holy shit is nu/v/ just underage children?Have you read any cyberpunk literature? Have you not played SOMA?
>>740027725buddy just go back to dilating in the Bungie Dilation Chamber on the second floor next to the meeting room
>>740027592the walking corpse that is bungie gave up halo as an ip when they departed from microsoftafter that, they had a single popular IP which is or was destiny, so they reached into whatever shit-no-one-cares-about IPs they still had a claim to, one of which is that of marathon
>>740027785shut the fuck up dork
>>740027785>TRANShumanismsorry im not trans unlike you lmao
>>740027851Why do I even bother, no wonder traffic is dying in this shithole
>>740027785yes, transhumanism is spiritually trannyism
>>740027851bodied that dorknigger
its not even that woke it's just a boring game. I just wish the girls showed more ass and tits though.
>>740021780Chudcels are retarded that's why. Also kids.
>>740027785>transhumanismI love that shit.
we are stable
>>740028161this is what marathon should be about. this is gameplay right here.
>>740021780Because Bungie is extremely woke, comically so, and so is Sony. Also when Marathon was announced the devs said no proximity chat because of chuds. There's also the association of live service slop with wokeness. Game journos and redditors also tend to defend these games because their success means an L for the chuds who want to see the industry crash and burn.
>>740027592Marathon has a battle pass?
>>740027789All i’m saying is that if you think Orion’s character is gender neutral you are genuinely no different than the trannies
>>740028168Ironically the most stable i've seen the player count be since launch.
>>740028231I broke into his office and swapped the sugar and salt containersFor the glory of MIDA
>>740028168Nah, it's still on a downward slope if you look at the numbers. It's just harder to tell from the graph because the game has lost so many players, lmao
>>740022954>Bungie was using pronouns in their developer diary videos for Marathon until just recentlyWhat does this even mean? Like they were saying "john Bungie (they/them) was working on yaddah yaddah?"Honestly outside of above being true and the OW2 tracer ass they have some of the characters, most of these seem like a stretch at best
>>740028230Apparently.
>>740028216why cant you chuds go make your own NiggerKiller 9000 Xtreme game and leave us alone. You can literally do it right now. If you're too lazy use AI or something.What's stopping you?>Waaaaghhh DA MAINSTREAM WONT PROMOTE ITThen promote it on 4chan. Underground forums. Those CP child rape telegram chats that racist skinhead rightwingers always use.
>>740028274RUNNAH....
>>740028315>Like they were saying "john Bungie (they/them)Yes, literally that. Then, in the most recent ones, the pronouns are gone.>>740028332hey, look at that. If Bungie put any later seasonal content in there, like season 3, 4, 5, and so on, they're going to be trapped in the same situation as Suicide Squad where the company has to release those DLCs before killing the game unless they want to risk getting sued
>>740028216But there is prox chat. The rest is true tho.But I dislike chuds who complain about the industry but offer no alternative. And most indie developers are even more woke. Just seems like they dislike corporates more than anything, which I don’t have an issue with.
It's all just performative hate cause Bungie is woke or something
>>740026862The dev team going woke enough to throw out their lead designer, and spending a bunch of dev budget on stupid woke shit instead of releasing with a reasonable budget are actually pretty important issues here anon.
>>740028483>But there is prox chat.Because they backpedalled on that but intially Bungie said no proximity chat because "toxicity"
>>740021780i've asked this question multiple times and the only answer is "it has woke vibes"the most likely actual reason is that a bunch of content appeared in their social media feeds telling them that marathon is woke so they just went along with it
>>740028591>Bungie is wokeLet's point this out and laugh at them for how stupid it is, like the latin/a/e/x stuff they got publicly shamed for.>Bungie makes bad games (like Marathon)Hey, this game flopped like we knew it would. Let's laugh. Oh, they're adding PVE modes in a panic when they previously said it was only PVP? Let's laugh even harder.Seethe about it, faggot.
>>740028729thanks for proving my point so quickly
>>740021780I hope this helps to elucidate you.
test
>>740028701>the most likely actual reason is that a bunch of content appeared in their social media feeds telling them that marathon is woke so they just went along with itNumerous such occasions.
>>740028483The indies are less likey to try to carpet bomb this place with shill posts. I mean both of Raganar's last two games were stupidly woke, but Dustborn had the high profile of being Xbox backed.
>>740028790I'm not surprised you missed the point I was trying to make. That's all right, you can just read the thread and not think too much about it.
>>740021780Bungie gave money to the Southern Poverty Law Center, which finances REAL neo-Nazi organizations, under the pretense of fighting them.They are THAT retarded.
>>740028853>numerous such occasionsHoly ESL. These shills are even worse than the ones during release.
>>740028838did it work
>>740028701LOL No. You ignored every answer that you got, including really fundamental shit, like because the devs said it was. Just like you did this thread.
>>740028817so they have gay employees who gives a shit you mentally deranged pyschopaththe game is excellent so all those trannies must be pretty fuckin good at their job
>>740028908That's proper english you brown retard. Go back to watching sloptube garbage.
>>740028945your just samefagging and evading because you literally have no arguement and are mentaly ill posting around the clock like it's your job dude
>>740028908It's a funny way to say "many such cases" you mongoloid.
I'm getting the feeling no one is genuinely even defending marathon anymore. It is just trolls trolling trolls trolling trolls.
>>740028945>um dude there are hecking TRANNIES working at the company!!!There are trannies working at every tech company. The entire tech industry is ran by autistic men which are more likely to troon out, if you use any software whatsoever you are using woke software by that logic.
>>740029061>>740028994>browns make post defending Marathon>browns cannot into English>get called out>seethe immediatelyI'm sure saars like yourselves will save the game and not embarrass it further.
>>740028916I have bad news. you are pregnant. And homosexual. Not as gay as the spammers who will post this exact thread again, and not read it again, but you are the gay.
>>740029118Are you actually esl? Fucking retard.
>>740029062Nah I'm completely sincere in this post-ironic age. Marathon is lacking in content and polish and feels like a beta, but it kicks ass in gameplay and atmosphere. Self proclaimed "hardcore gamers" on /v/ can't help but convulse over it because they downloaded the latest youtuber and xitter eceleb outrage update in their brains, and they're easy and funny to anger
>>740029072this. look at all major military contractors. Lockheed Martin. General Dynamics. Northrop Grumman. These companies are filled to the FUCKING BRIM with trannies.Computer Nerds that work on complex weaponry for world governments are VERY LIKELY to trool out. The link is always Autism.If there were some kind of Orbital Plasma Death Beam, most likely it would be created by a tranny.
>>740028947>you can't hate a game because the people who made it are awful, terrible, horrible human beingsThat's not true. If Marathon was made by chuds, the woke mob would be calling for its lynching.
>>740029194it doesn't matter if they're deliberately dumb or just pretending. The tranny chaser devs literally put in dysphoria in the game lore, and said it was tranny as hell. And they're guaranteed to not read the thread, make up whatever bullshit they want, and pretend none of it happened. >>740029235I think most of it is marketing bots prepping the bull for tomorrow, but anons might be real. >>740029062It's got too much autoaim for me to call it hardcore, but I do think you're legit in liking it's rape based gameplay. But being a floppy bitch like that isn't going to make anywone want to play with you.
cant you chuds just make your own racist facism game and fuck off. go MAKE YOUR OWN shit. Stop trying to leech off of what other have made. You are like Indians begging to enter the west>saar>saaar pls>I am like youGO AWAY
>>740028678“Toxicity” in quotations are we being double stupid? VOIP and internet discourse is inherently stupid and cancerous.>>740028871Right, your issue isn’t the solely over wokeness it’s the fact that it’s wokeness… done with mindless corporate advertising. The main and I would say fundamental issue is the mindless corporate element. I don’t think anyone disagrees that corporate has royally fucked with the industry.
>>740029508>>740029072
>>740029062This is just a troll to get marathon defenders like me to respond. And it worked.Yes marathon is fun and more people should give it a chance.Your turn to respond.
>actually software devs were always tranniesYou should write for Netflix
>>740029739lol you have no idea what you're talking about. go watch more youtube culture war slop with the clickbait thumbnails and wacky titles
>>740021780Because a funding mechanism for woke people is woke. Why do you keep trying this angle over and over? You just get BTFO every time
>>740028168But it's not enough to save Marathon. It had to sell around 9 million copies on Steam (an earning of $252,000,000 if all sold at full price) or over 6 million in PlayStation to break even (budget was around $250,000,000), and it had to be among the 5 most sold games of 2025 (basically sell more than at least Black Ops 7) to be considered a success by Snoy.And it only sold 1.5 million copies, of which less than 300,000 were sold in PlayStation. Combining the total sales of both Steam/Xbox and PS, Marathon earned at most $45,500,000 dollars. Do note the calcs don't account for discounts, so it earned less than that. To put into perspective, Marathon has earned less than a quarter of its total development budget, without considering the salaries paid during the delay and server maintenance costs. I'll try to say it as un-assholeishly as possible: Unless Season 2 caused a miraculous surge in sales, in the order of several millions... Marathon, and by extension Bungie, won't survive much longer..TL;DR, shit's fucked. super fucked.
>>740021780Dunno. I never called it woke i just said it looks mediocre and I didnt care about it.
>>740022041you don't know what art style means
>>740029508>The tranny chaser devs literally put in dysphoria in the game lore, and said it was tranny as hell.Is basic transhumanism dysphoria? Because all I got out of the lore was basic transhumanism - humans downloading themselves into digital forms. The fact that you might pilot a certain shell is as dysphoric as anyone choosing a character in a video game. Like, is playing Metroid or Niet:Automata or Perfect Dark classify you as a tranny?‘Cause to me that’s all that is happening in the game.
>>740029982>a funding mechanism for woke peopleWhat the fuck does that even mean?
>>740026659>but I hid it so well how do they still know!!!!??!kek
>>740030010Don't forget the ongoing operation costs, anon. Each month, Marathon has to sell another 150k copies at least (at full price) to offset Bungie salaries and such.
>>740027196t.
>>740029529When you need a live service game to survive, you don't scare away potential sales with such attitude. People like you are the reason Marathon failed.
>>740025546Big deal. I've had regular dreams of being a brain in a vat and I'm only kind of insane.
>>740021780>Why is Marathon considered "Woke"
>>740030256>im not going to play this game because of a bait post on /v/lmao do people really live like this?
>>740029062dont ruin the fun
>>740030192To put it bluntly, the only reason Marathon hasn't been shitcanned yet is because SOA is desperate to save face after their litanies of live service screwups. If it fails and get shut down, it'll be enough proof for Sony Japan that SOA's very existence is irrelevant, and will deal to its downfall.
>>740029529Why do you blame people you told to not buy it for the games failure.
>>740030457You're in /v/, what did you expect?Besides, I already refuse to touch Marathon with a ten-foot pole after what Bungie did to Destiny 2.
>>740030578I do think a lot of it is about saving face. Them closing Bungie would mean going 0-2 and having to admit to themselves and their shareholders that the entire live service push has been a huge flop. I think the reputational damage to the gaming division, where Sony makes most of their money, is not something they want to do right now. But after GTA6 launches in November and prints money for Sony because PS5 will be the best place to play it? Who knows.
>>740030639go use chat jeetpt to make your own game. shoo.
>>740028313It's actually higher on a few days compared to previous week. Including this very moment.
>>740028168I assume shrouds shilling campaign ended
>>740028817Only Marathon-related image there is not even in the game anymore. Scrapped custom character.
>>740028168Nobody who worked on or plays this troon game is stable.
>>740031082The overall trend is still down and today is 2k lower than this time last week, what are you talking about? Last week was the long weekend, too.
>>740022954anti-woke was the real mind virus and this post is proof
>>740031245I can't believe the anti-woke mind virus made Bungie do all of this >>740028216 Retard
>>740031207>today is 2k lower than this time last weekit's not
>>740031415>Monday, 5/25, at 2000 UTC>11,062 players>Monday, 6/1, at 2000 UTC>9,292 playersYou're a big boy, anon. Which of those numbers is higher than the other?
>>740030970Youre very salty about the failure of a bad game. Take some deep breaths and go play something that isnt a leftist political agenda described as a terrible game maybe.
>>740028374You mean literal anons are preventing ppl from buying and playing the game? holy shit, chuds, STTTTAAAAAPPPPPWhat a stupid cunt you are. Go back and fish for likes on BlueSky from the other fags and trannies.
>>740023321Nigabyte.
>>740030693I don't think Rockstar will release in PS5 only anymore. One possible reason for the delays might be that they decided to go multiplatform and release on PC too. That would screw Sony over too.
maybe there isn't much of anything in game right now but how long before we get a lore dump on who they were before being turned in to robots, how they were persecuted for falling in love and fucking the 'wrong person'?
>>740029062I legit love Marathon and would go to war for it. The thing that bothers me the most about this whole discourse is how the people who are most vocal about the game are the ones that cant aim for shit, cant even make it past the tutorial, cry about PvE. Like bro shut your bitch ass up. How about you dogshits kill a single tick before talking like you know something?
>>740031868Rockstar is going to launch GTA6 on PS5 and Xbox Series India, but PS5 is going to be the lead console because it's stronger than Xbox and Xbox is a dead brand. Rockstar will then double dip and do a PC release a year later, like with GTA5.Point is, PS5 will be the main place people will play GTA6, which will make Sony a fuckton of money through platform fees.If something goes crazy and GTA6 also launches on SteamBox in some kind of weird SteamOS fork that ISN'T Windows, then that's real bad news for Sony and great news for Valve. I hope this happens because it would be funny as hell
>>740022146Chess ruined everything
>>740022146Why do you leftists have to pretend not to understand? Barett actually looks cool. Ugly women = woke, ugly groids = woke. Ugly = woke.
>>740032016???? Shells were never people to begin with. This is explicitly stated in the lore in game.This is like asking what the Toyota RAV4 was as a human before being turned into a car.
>>740032436Shells don't have human consciousnesses in them? I didn't watch the old teaser trailer but once, but I thought that was the point of the trailer.
>>740022041Every character has an extremely clear gender except that Assassin is a twink...
>>740022085It would unironically help
>>740032867so youre saying if bungie asked china to make Marathon it would have better numbers? you are delusional.
>>740032612They do. You just remote control them like a VR game. It's just a robot you control with your mind from Earth.
>>740029912Nah that shit is cringe I'd rather laugh at indians on 4chan
>>740021780Johnson is a cool black man, like Dillon in terminator. Modern games don't have cool back dudes, just gay niggers
>>740032950Oh, that's retarded. Then what was the point of the bladerunner-esque interview? It looked like they were trying to assess the operator's mental state after reviving. Seems like that would be a non-issue if they're just playing a vr game.
>>740032612It’s a man-made human consciousness, like a British butler setting on a GPS app. These personalities are all artificial, and in true transhumanist form it should be unnerving that we have been able to so flawlessly create these simulacrums and plug any digitized human consciousness into this shell to pilot. But again it’s like picking a character in a video game or hero shooter. They say the same lines and in Marathon, they think the same thoughts. This is why loss of identity and memory is such a critical theme in Marathon’s lore and is the central theme in the cinematic released a year back. You are assuming that it is the same person on the screen but you are just making an assumption.
>>740032924Frankly they couldnt do much worse than Bungie themselves haveAnd yeah theyve shown they can pilot western IPs better than most western studios (i.e. Netease) so I'm at a loss as ti why you act like it's an impossibility
>>740022954>none of the female characters are allowed to be sexy at all and have flat asses and little to no chestsOne of the major tells of AGP and a mentally ill tranny is a hyperfixation on female beauty standards. The shells aren't even male or female, they aren't even human. Literally silk spun up and uploaded with a "consciousness"
>>740033426>the shells aren't even male or femaleThey clearly have male or female facial structures, you moron.>brings up AGP out of nowhereI think you betrayed yourself, troon
>>740033426The co-opting of chud positions to gaslight chuds is new, lol
>>740021780>men wearing lipsticks
>>740033421there is absolutely nothing china can "create" that will have any worth. kys ccp shill
>>740021780Sgt Johnson wasn't cartoonishly ugly. That's all that woke is, ugliness. And not only aesthetically, but moral repulsiveness is woke too.
>>740033162>reeee they’re going to make all of the shells originally human tranniesThey aren’t real>reee that’s dumb because I don’t understand the loreThe original human digital consciousnesses - aka you the player - are still being affected, not by the shells themselves but the nature of piloting them and experiencing death 1000x over. That’s why there is that onboarding process, are literally tracking your mental state and your perception of reality and humanity. It is a novel and uncertain phenomena, watching humans lose their humanity.
>>740021780>"How do we somehow shoehorn diversity into our game without people noticing?"
why did season 2 flop?
>>740021780It's not woke. It was never woke. They know that. You think this has anything to do with what is real? You don't understand how this works.>is a game (unreleased) shaping up to potentially be a failure?It's woke. When it eventually fails, you astroturf the narrative and say "woke killed it." >is the game shaping up to be an easy success?It's anti-woke. Find any reason to paint it as an anti-woke game, then push the narrative that based games always succeed.You thought the woke / anti-woke label had anything to do with actual political messaging getting injected into games? It's all narrative control, you dummy.
>>740029235>and atmosphereTell me you're a homo without telling me you're a homo.
>>740021780It's a game for self-righteous psychopaths.
>>740033592How trannies act in public and on internet forums where they public reputation stands in stark contrast to the hyper sexualised degenerates that they actually are, in private and on places like 4chan.The entire mechanism that has turned all these lonely young (and often autistic) men into trannies is the hyperfixation on female beauty standards.>>740033553>They clearly have male or female facial structures, you moron.Amusing that you think that I'm the moron when you are randomly ascribing gender to inanimate objects.>brings up AGP out of nowhereNot out of nowhere, considering the discussion is about trannies and the fetish is the underlying cause for the overwhelming majority of trannies.
Nobody cares that Marathon is woke, people don't like that it's a not a good game.
>>740033720I'd prefer Bungie hace made better decisions and thought to make characters people would like to play/interact with, but here we are with you shouting into the wind
>>740030140The game funds the (woke) company.Still pretending not to understand.
>>740034708There are some that absolutely do care if the game woke. Scroll up
fuck Tarkovfuck Dark and Darkerfuck Forever Winterfuck Hyenasfuck Maraudersfuck Cycle: Frontierfuck Disney Extraction Shooterfuck Arena Breakoutfuck The Cube, Save Usfuck The Cube (the other one)fuck Halo Extraction Shooterand especially fuck Marathonwhat a fucking stupid genre, ain't nobody fucking figured out the gameplay loop let alone the endgame for these stupid multiplayer extraction shooters.And don't even think of bringing up Arc Raiders as some sort of success, they've already losing players and i wouldn't be surprised by the end of the year they'll be less than Warframe with 30k or so players.
>>740034772Those people exist on the internet, not the real world.
>>740033734Yeah. Look at Ironheart, one of those "heroes" disney tried to prop up a few years back. Both the main character and the negress who played her were so fucked in the head that Disney shitcanned the show after half a season, and deleted all her cameos from any upcoming Marvel stuff.
>>740034857Gamergate was a psyop that ended with the current US administrationWillful ignorance. There are shitty people in this world.
>>740021780>bold, clashing color palette>androgynous character models>NuCarolic = OnionsIf you're a dull person with bland taste, I can see why it would vibe similarly to Concord. It's also sort of inevitable that anything cyberpunk is kind of inherently woke because it's impossible to touch on themes of "transhumanism" without implicitly acknowledging that cybernetic implants would definitely be used for gender reassignments.
>>740034708>ignore all of the posts in this thread
"Non-threatening black guy with a degree" and "non-traditional asian girl who probably fucks white guys" is the least woke form of representation possible. They're characters you throw into a work because you want to appease the left crowd without scaring the right crowd. It's not woke, it's gutless.
>>740034698>the shells are inanimate objects, therefore gender can't be assigned! Haha, I win.Stop being intentionally obtuse. Or are you going to now say that female and male mannequins have never existed?
>>740034857Chuds might only make up less than 10% of the gaming market, but extraction shooter genre is an autistic genre, and thus chuds make up a huge chunk of the genre.So yea, Marathon being woke is a problem for Marathon.
>>740034986Read less wikipedia, retard. Gamergate was real. That dumbasses like the guy who owned Breitbart tried to claim they were involved in it was the real psyop. Gamers got tired of crazies being forced down our throats years ago. The main reason the original GamerGate failed was because the urinalists still controlled the narrative back then. Called us monsters for standing up to their insanity, when they were the ones who were truly twisted, both within and without.
>>740035140The simpler thing to remember is that nobody likes woke except for the 'Modern Audience' that is basically just the psychos in GCJ, ResetEra, and Troonsky. Normalfags, who have always been the largest audience for anything AAA, reject woke and always have. They want sexy women, masculine men they can project onto, and fun gameplay. When your game doesn't have any of those and spends its time directly or indirectly finger wagging at you to be better men, nobody is going to play that shit.
>>740034986>There are shitty people in this world.And I will not be buying their slop games.
>>740035151If any of the Gamergate concerns were actually about ethics in journalism, gamers wouldn't have immediately turned to xitter/youtube reviewer slop who have even lower ethical standards than game journalists. Gamer journalism has always been low quality because the audience is dumb as bricks. Gamers just got mad that the reviewers started glazing artsy fartsy games instead of Maximum Action Combat 3.
>>740035110>proving my point for meIt's not that male and female mannequins don't exist. It's the fact that you caring about how "sexy" they are makes you a fucking mentally ill degenerate. Literally either a tranny or an Indian lusting over pictures of statues on facebook.
>>740035489>the shells are clearly male or female>no, they're inanimate objects and don't have genders>but what about mannequins and how they're clearly male or female?>ok they exist and disprove my earlier point, but you're a troon for thinking about itThis is why Marathon and its defenders both embarrass the game (and themselves) and aren't taken seriously.
>>740035306Normies (and I'd even go so far as to include dudebros to a lesser extent) might not like woke stuff, BUT they don't hate woke stuff either.So as long as the game has fun/good content (at a reasonable price), normies will buy the game.I mean look at StS2, KCD2, BG3, what percentage of people who left negative reviews or boycotted those games are normies instead of chuds?
>>740035648I don't give a fuck about marathon, I'm calling out a mentally ill degenerate.The fact you are trying to argue that wanting to fuck a mannequin is a normal sane position is pure absurdity.
>>740034783Regarding the image, Chinese servers are faily different usually. It's likely that Arc will never see a full PvE mode, just because the current formula works.Also, judging by The Finals still going strong with updates and events 3 years later, Arc will be perfectly fine.
>>740035694I agree to a point, but your examples are not of woke games but rather games with liberal/LGBT elements.>StS2Casual slop that's mostly buoyed by Chinese players. Aside from Sarkeesan in the credits, I don't remember hearing anything woke about the game.>KCD2I know there's a same sex romance in the game, but I think that was it. And didn't it also sell worse than the first one?>BG3This is the usual example bad faith retards roll out (not saying you're one) because it was a hugely popular game in the normalfag sphere, so they tried to brand it woke in a desperate bid to say 's-see, woke games don't flop ALL the time!' And you can systematically eradicate all of the lgbt characters in the game, last I heard.>>740035785>you mentioned mannequins>this means you now want to fuck themAnon, your projection has gotten worse and worse in each of your posts. I urge you to stop now, because I'm not interested in hearing any more of your bizarre closeted fetishes.
>>740035425>ethics in journalismi refuse to believe that this whole entire Gamergate thing and the legacy it produced stemmed from some woman blowing a couple of reviewers.That just sounds too ridiculous and overblown.The whole Gamergate situation felt like massive powderkeg incident for much larger bigger issues.The whole ethics in journalism thing just feels so mundane in comparison to the shitstorm/chaos/feuds it produced.
>>740035881Why else would you bring them up and care about how "sexy" something is if you didn't want to feel sexual attraction to it in the first place, you clown.
>>740036036M8, if a basic convo like the one we were having got away from you this badly, I'd suggest lurking for another year at least before putting this kind of stupidity on display. At least we're all anons here, so you shouldn't lose that much izzat.
>>740030060You missed the part where they get suicidal for not having enough human shit to relate to with the shells. It's why they have the voight kamph sort of tests as well. And they're switching shell genders on people.
>>740022954So.....the game isn't actually woke then. It's just the developers are woke but they kept it out of the game, yet you're like a SJW whining about dog whistles and invisible bias when there is none? Got it.
>>740030578>>740030693It's not just shitcanning the project. Financially, a quarter billion down. Weak launch. Prevous sales did nothing to help, that would normally be time to pull the plug. It's a question of what you do with the giant daycare center that's bungie. But next, we're getting mass layoffs.
>>740036174Re-read the post. Marathon has woke content in it. Just because it's not comically in your face with something like Veilguard doesn't mean it's not there.>>740036214Schrier already leaked that layoffs are coming. The question is when and how bad they'll be. With Destiny 2 now dead, it could actually be half the studio getting the axe.
>>740036143how is this any different from cyborgs going psycho in any other fictional media?
>>740033592Not at all. They've been trying to wrangle the meaning of woke away for quite a while now. They're even trying to recontexutalize the "concordian timeline" as "the curse of concord". WHich is 100 percent mismanagement, and 0 percent to do with out of touch woke as fuck teams making shit that's unappealing to the huge budget audiences.
>>740034708They're woke enough to spend millions to try to shut down 4chan. That's enough to notice anon.
>>740036174Um there aren't enough women with big boobs and asses, are you blind? That means that it's woke.
This guy makes Bobby Kotick look like a saint.
>>740036447>spend millions to try to shut down 4channew schizo just dropped
>>740035425I don't think you understand the youtube reviewer functionality. What they say actually means nothing. You can see the gameplay for your fucking self and make your own determination pretty easily.
>>740036459Big nothing, I'd be happy with normal boobs and asses, and not the almost concave crap we get from these woke studios.>>740036478Pete was just a greedy scumbag who was smart enough to fleece Sony and cash out while avoiding any responsibility. Kotick is a much worse type that was ruining entire franchises and studios in the pursuit of short term profit. He also managed to scam Microsoft, and I think he too went out on a golden parachute.
no one cares the game was shit and has been forgotten
>>740035887Correct. The journalists defying reality and what the audience wanted, and going on their own purges was only a part of it. But the extension there is more pol territory and we don't need more of that in this thread..
>>740036123I've been posting here longer than you've been alive zoomer.The conversation hasn't "got away" from me at all.One of the major points of the initial post I responded to was:>none of the female characters are allowed to be sexy at all and have flat asses and little to no chestsWhy would you even care about this unless you are a mentally ill degenerate, like a tranny? You've then brought up the point about mannequins, as if wanting to feel sexual attraction to a mannequin is normal.>izzatOh, you are the facebook Indian leaving messages on art gallery pictures.
>>740036363They show the "minds" being switched from male shells to female shells, and because the designers literally said it's a tranny issue.
>>740036729Oh anon, I didn't expect you'd get this triggered over having your lapses and leaps in logic being pointed out.All of this for you to try to defend Marathon? My condolences.
>>740035887>some woman blowing a couple of reviewersdo you know how many 10s she extracted with her dick-sucking lips? ALOT.
>>740036529It was part of the "stop online hate" initiative. The target was 4chan's hosting and payment processing. They got far enough that you could only buy passes with bitcoin for a while. You still see this approach vs DLsite. You can still buy the collectable pins they used for the donations online.
>Blue, Purple, Green>Robots>That one is black!>Those are female!I don't get it. Robots are explicitly no race or gender because they are hunks of metal....
>>740036931do you really expect me to believe that bungie spent millions of dollars trying to take down 4chan? do you realize how fucking retarded that sounds?
>>740036982You would think, but that's not acceptable to these devs.
>>740036861The simple fact you aren't even trying to defend you degeneracy is your concession. Thanks for playing.>Defending marathonCouldn't give a shit about the game. It's objectively flawed with virtually no content. That isn't the focus of this particular conversation.
>>740036982>I don't get it.It's because Bungie wanted to find a way to virtue signal despite the characters being better off like Rook where they're just weird robots.Look at >>740025095, which is clearly the facial structure and composition of a black male.
>>740037098>Anon sees a black man in real life and is instantaneously demoralized Ahahahha it must be a living nightmare to be a chud.
>>740021780I don't think it isI think it's just considered ugly
Why can't they make the robots look like robots. Why are they humanoids. They look like trannies. I want robo heads and mono red eye characters.
>>740037181Being a chud is wonderful because it means I don't waste my money or time buying and playing shitty games.IDGAF about blacks in games as long as they're there for genuine reasons. GTASA where you play as CJ, a black guy? Great, fun, and Fat CJ is hilarious and makes sense because it's about gang warfare in LA. Marathon where you're playing disposable robot bodies in this sci fi environment? Having 'black robot man' is absurd and offputting and clearly is there because it's being made by Bungie. If you were capable of arguing in good faith, you'd understand this difference.>>740037327Agreed. If all of the shells were wierd abominations like Rook, I'd be much more onboard. And if they can't do that, have everyone in big scifi helmets that don't show any facial features. And if they can't do either, just make them featureless mannequins with maybe a nose and eye ridges defined, but that's it.
you guys jack off to futa and femboys, stop trying to have the moral high ground.
>>740037484>tranimal poster projectingkek, like clockwork
>>740037098>the characters being better off like Rookholy stupid. nobody ever thinks like this. name one game that has characters looking like the rook
Holy projecting >if you like attractive people you are a tranny!Lol
>>740037484Anons, no matter how degen they might be, will always have the moral high ground over woke neo-moralists.No anon ever called me racist. No anon ever tried to censor my speech. No anon ever tried to stop me from liking or playing certain types of games.
Marathon is probably the least woke game from Bungie in 20 years which is frankly shocking considering Destiny 2.
>>740037659Blacklight Retribution had weird cyberpunk helmets everyone had to wear, and some of them were pretty abstract. And it looked way better than these characters.>>740037763Amazing how fast they start dialing back the woke shit when their backs are against the wall, isn't it?
>>740032386It's all they have. Stop engaging with these bad faith scum
>>740037763>In 20 yearsNigger did you forget HALO
>>740021780I don't think it's woke, but i'm pretty sure it is not the game that they wanted to do.Shareholders should be gassed.
>>740037823Halo 2 came out in 2004.
>>740032386>>740037817Nah, games are only woke if they flop.Veilguard? woke.KCD2? based.Marathon? woke.StS2? based.007 First Light? TBD.
>>740037098Me when I project my own biases. It's like when you look at a car and see a face. No, it isn't a face. You simply see what you want to see. You think, "I am reminded of a black man!" So you decide something that is literally not a black man is a black man.
>>740037806Indeed. The reason why the original Marathon and the original Halo head protagonists wearing sci-fi helmets was because those were self insert characters. That guy is meant to be you. The moment you give him a chimpanzee nigger face all immersion is ruined.
>>740038084You're kidding me right. Triage is literally meant to look like a nigger.
They really should've just put a helmet over the non white/female east Asian characters.Only WHITE and FEMALE EAST ASIAN CHARACTERS should show their facesIF YOU'RE BROWN. PUT ON A HELMET.DON'T SHOW ME YOUR UGLY FUCKING FACE.
>>740029529>I don't like racism >I hate Indians ?? Pick a lane
>>740021780Ok tranny.It's the game itself. It's like living in North Korea and saying that there is absolutely NOTHING communist about it. People are people, wood is wood, food is food, air is the same ..so what's the problem?...I fucking wonder indeed ...
>>740038326Dangerously based....
>>740038342>dude it just IS i dont need to explain itgreat argument faggotron you sure showed him
>>740032627What's the gender of the creature in OP pic...
>>740038342So can you articulate what's wrong with the game or are you generalizing
i have anti woke fatiguechuds have become unironically way, way more cringe than the sjws they used to mock
>>740038174I think that anon is either genuinely schizo and sincerely believes his 'they're robots, therefore it can't be a black man' idea, or he's a retard like >>740037817 describes where acknowledging reality means he would instantly lose the argument, so he can't do that.
>>740037817let's not pretend rightists are any better.
>>740038690I want a game with no black people is that so much to ask.
Give Vandal a sexier skin and remove her clown shoes (unless it's a sexy clown skin) and I'll play the game
Hoo boy, you guys would hate Eclipse Phase if it got a video game adaptation.
>>740038748You know who makes games with minimal to no blacks?CHINA.Go FUCK OFF to your COMMUNIST CCP GACHA PEDOPHILE THREADSand FUCK OFF.You disgust me
>>740038382>>740038447If you subhumans can't understand kindergarten analogy, then this whole question is beyond your intellectual comprehension...aka - retarded, like cognitively impaired.Someone had to say it..
>>740038748please rephrase your wish in a more PR friendly tone.
>>740038843You're literally just spouting babble and relying on other peoples words because you can't articulate what is wrong with it.
>>740038857*ahem*Get niggers the fuck out of my vidya.There.
>>740021780The original games were Mac only, and Macs are/were exclusively for homosexuals.
>>740038829>he thinks gacha was made by the chinksLmao
>>740039169ok? then go play your whatever the fuck japanese gacha. go fuck off. LEAVE
>>740038857
>>740039410woah this is kinda antisemetic.
>>740039216Cry harder troon
>>740021780It's just ugly.
>>740039410I like my women blurple.
>>740023321negroid prime
>>740039410DELETE THIS RIGHT FUCKING NOW
>>740039781why did you post an image of a cursed sheboon demon
>>740023321Reminder that "robot" means "slave"
>>740021780transhumanism and active attempts at denigrating what the faggot devs would refer to as the binary frameshit is retarded, late stage post-modernist faggotry.
>new experimental game mode>one crew gets free rein a map until the very end when all the rooks spawn in and theres only one extraction pointBungie is so fucking retarded lmao
>>740039781best women are the whitest and darkest everything else is trash mixed garbage
>>740040040So Robot Gillman in 40k is a fish slave?
>>740021780get your eyes checked
>>740039410shieeet why you gon be like dats
I don't even think it's woke I just thinks it's ugly tranny garbage which isn't surprising considering the people who made it
>>740040384>ugly tranny garbage definitionally woke
>jew bioweapons sitting around discussing how defeated and intimidated by black presence they arelmao sit around discussing black people all of your worthless live please.
>>740022246>reinvents cootiesThe bold ideologues of the future
>>740037806Nothing like the rook. They have clear human body proportions and a helmet doesn't make them anything less. Holy fucking cope>>740037449They are abominations, just 3d printed ones. I still don't see how you'd guys prefer them to be replaced with different flavors of the UESC bots or with no other comparison to base your "inorganic character" look
>>740022246I bet you think you can get AIDs from sitting on a toilet you fucking paranoiac
>>740040246Is that seriously the 'PVE with light PVP' thing they're showing off this week?
>>740040959Yes.A crew gets to PvE nightmarsh then they get a bunch of Rook PvP at the end.
>>740022954>Bungie was using pronouns in their developer diary videos for Marathon until just recentlyKnowing this is obvious they are woketards that hate me, why would I buy Bungie games? Fuck them.
>>740028817>WeightlifterThe only that nigga is lifting are he/they's legs.
>>740041089I never played an extraction game, but the end part is where you take all of your loot and try to get out, right? So the first part being PVE doesn't matter because the PVP being at the end means you can still get killed and lose your shit, which totally invalidates the PVE section?? What the hell?
>>740040808Would knowing someone has AIDs alter how you interact with them? It would for most sports organizations as they require it to be tracked, implementing common sense regulations to prevent the spread of a contagion.Why shouldn't trans people be treated similarly?
>>740041283>>740041283>Would knowing someone has AIDs alter how you interact with them?Not unless I'm fucking them no. Also sports stars can easily afford the medication that suppresses AIDs in those kinds of situations. It's not 1981 anymore.
>>740041268It doesn't invalidate the PvE section, first off no guarantee rooks will survive as long as you - they also have to survive the map. 2nd the looting part of the game is a lot easier when you aren't worried about 3 other teams looking to pull up on you unaware. Being a touch dramatic, they never said it was entirely PvE and it is a good experimental mode
>>740041268Rooks are the weakest kind of player you can find.
>>740022246>>740041283Is your argument that you are going to get infected with a tranny disease if you play a video game that a tranny worked on? Like there's some kind of bacteria that will be electronically transferred into your body?
>>740041384Wonderful! Lets carry that analogy forward. We just need to medicate trans people and keep them from fucking.What medications are required for this condition?
>>740041268Unless literally the whole lobby somehow forms a coalitions Rooks cannot take out a competent 3 stack themselves, especially at season start when they have no upgrades.
>>740041465Theres still only one exfil point also I think this is missing the other side of the equationI dont think rooks will find it fun to be treated as fodder for the enjoyment of one team after a week or twoAnd the worst part is this is the ONLY rook queue for the duration of the mode
>>740041465>>740041497>>740041542I know it's not pure PVE, but when I think about casuals who play Arc, they're not gonna tolerate this kind of 'now there's PVP when you're trying to extract' stuff, so I don't know who Bungie thinks they'll attract.And if it's just on one map, doesn't that mean you can't do all the quests or something? Or you can't level up?
>>740041508There's literally no downside to not taking the risk. Especially with how awful marathon looks anyways.
>>740041634>there's literally no downsideAgreed, and even if the game is free, you still have to install the kernel anticheat that you have to manually remove when the game is done anyway.
>>740041508Pipe down zoom-zoom and read a book.
>>740041634Wait are you joking or do you actually believe in electronically transmitted tranny diseases?
>>740041601>And if it's just on one map, doesn't that mean you can't do all the quests or something? Or you can't level up?No you'd still be able to do that stuff in this game mode, the only ones who can't do quests are Rooks because they're supposed to be like Tarkov SCAVs.
>>740041508I'll take "Clues anon is illiterate" for $500.
>>740041815ok but explain how playing a video game is like catching aids
>>740041720See >>740041539.Also, you have to go back
>>740039781I'm only attracted to very pale africans or pitch-black africans. anything in the middle i find disgusting.
>>740041882>i am the king of 4chan, you are not allowed to be here if you disagree with medamn really? are you rapeape's jeet cousin?
>>740041876Its an attempt to force consensus among the public. The ideological framework is the disease, the game is the vector, you are the guy at the beginning of every zombie apocalypse movie who hides a bite.
>>740041994>retarded schizobabble
>>740041720I don't have to worry about whether it's real or not, remember? I'm not playing your game.
>>740041994Holy fuck I can visualize the fedora.
>>740042047ok but there is no such thing as a electronically transmitted disease. that doesn't exist
>>740041815And the answer: This game has a leaked budget of 300 million, and is one of the only games that can compete with Marathon for game of the year, and anon will still call it a success no mater what it sells.
>>740041539>>740041283Moronic comparison, AIDs transmission can be easily mitigated without restricting the rights of said person, allowing them to fuck, share spit, and do anything that might get your knickers in a twist. I have no idea why you think trans people are contagious, and I have a vague idea of what "common sense regulations" you are thinking of when it comes to trans ppl. And I'm pretty sure they're retarded.
>Chuddies already seething for the imminent Marathon revival tomorrowUh uh, you guys better start praying to Asmongold to save you ;)
>>740041876>>740042037>>740042124Did you play marathon? They discuss cognition hazzards in game.
>>740041979My problem with you isnt your terrible opinions, it's that you're illiterate and a tourist.Go back
>>740042209Yeah but they mean fantastical sci-fi concept ones like the Parrot Basilisk and not "if I think about Trannies I will heckin transform into one"
>>740042124Giant squid didn't exist until 2004, but please, keep assuming that whatever hasn't been found never will be.
>>740038461This, but unironically, and listen I was there to celebrate Concord failing, Duskborn, Saints Row reboot, the REAL bad actors, but when everything in the middle also gets labeled woke, it starts to muddy the water. I personally did not think Highguard was woke, or even that South of Midnight game. Much less Marathon. There’s needs to be criteria, otherwise you devalue words like libshits do all the time.
>>740042274Funny. The bungie devs think this place is a cognition hazzard and needs to be shut down for the good of humanity. They put quite a bit of money behind that push.
Good lord, the schizo levels of this thread are off the charts. You niggers need to take your medicine.
>>740042209>>740042309>if i play this game then i won't able to stop myself from trooning outYou sound like you're in the closet.
>>740041994>le memes but unironicallyPlease be infected by this ideological framework: you are moronic, please off yourself. With luck this exposure to the le an hero strain will catch and it should run it's course in the next 4 years.
>>740042354What the actual fuck are you talking about.
>>740042315Woke isn't a binary. Highguard had the tranny demon hunter, but it's failure mode was arrogant devs, and not obviously woke. South of Midnight wasted it's money on SBI making sure it wasn't bigoted rather than tuning it's gameplay.>There’s needs to be criteria, Yes. The criteria is based on what each individual decides. You have something like the new 007 game, which the devs said was for modern audiences. They went maximum brown and women and brown women like the craig movies, but added lots of safe horny bikiini women. The journalists think it's all perfectly acceptable and not chudly at all. You see a distinct split in anons, some of who consider Craig 007 woke, and some who are coomer as hell. Not a hard concept.
>>740039781>>740041895don't be fooled!these tar-babes darken their skin to make them look blacker than they actually are.they're actually more medium-dark brown than actual black.made my dick soft and limp when i knew the truth.
>>740042467Back when anti hate groups were trying to shut down 4chan, Bungie donated money for that. Was official company material. Devs personally spoke on the issue.
>>740042354>genuinely believe in cognito hazards>chooses to exist in 4chan, the land of kill yourself>whaaa we need to watch out for dangerous ideological frameworks!I always have to remind myself how people can genuinely be this retarded.
>>740042426I'm actually not worried about anything happening to me while playing marathon, remember? I'm not playing your game.
>>740021780>This game isn't woke because so is this other one
>>740042467Bungie tried to bribe rapeape with 20 million dollars to shut down 4chan, but what they didn't realize is that he's half-nigger so he just stole the money without following through on the deal.
>>740042656Missed the hitch entirely. Don't sweat the shitposting so hard.
>>740042690Ok but we're talking about a hypothetical here.
>>740042758It was technicaly through the SPLC.
>>740042809Eh, the people who still want this place shut down seem to think cognition hazzards aren't hypothetical.
>>740022085they dont have to look like stupid fucking ugly tumblr rejects either, dumbass
>>740042809Insofar as whether or not I'm concerned about catching an electronically transmitted disease, yes. And I'm not, because I'm not playing your game. I hypothetically don't have to worry about it at all.
>>740042948How would you feel if you hadn't eaten breakfast yesterday morning?
There are more people actively bitching about Marathon online right now then are playing itWhy do any of you care either way? Each and every one of you is a unique example of mental retardation
>>740042992The same as I do every morning. Thanks for asking.
Do any of the "shells" have a nice rack atleast?
>>740043106I think Vandal has the largest rack but that's because it's the one that's supposed to be marketable to punks and anarchists
>>740025095faggots will try to claim this is a good design
Marathon's just a boring game, and I'm kind of surprised that they spent as long as they did pouring resources into this when they could have done more productive things like for starters, making a game that people actually want to play.I seriously am willing to bet that Marathon will not winover anyone by the end of the year, at most they'll get a couple population bumps from new seasons and major content updates but that's about it.
>>740023456>>740023394WE WUZ DROIDS 'N SHIET
>>740042574If you are low IQ its a hard concept, thats the problem.
>>740041720>site full of psychopaths with 80 IQ who blindly follow Epstein ideology are actually severely mentally unwellwow
>>740021780Everything is woke in the mind of a fox news viewer OP
>>740036143It’s not the switching of shell forms or features that is fucking with people, it’s the fact they are DYING and AYY LMAOS are SKULLFUCKING THEM WITH AYYY LMAOMAGIC. lol
>>740021780It is weird a nihilistic. It isn’t Christian. Bungie is faggots.
Was a game made by someone who does work at a AAA company in current year? Congratulations, I will not buy your global corporate culture checklist game.
>everyone can be anything because lmao robits>literal grody floyd bot
I'm kinda looking forward to the free week tomorrow. The game itself seems worth at least trying just for a night or two of drunken fucking around. Most of the criticism around the game itself seems to just be people mad about Destiny 2 and people that are hellbent on pushing the anti-woke shit that were never gonna give it a chance anyway. Not buying it though, I've seen those charts.
>>740047126>Marathon's just a boring game, and I'm kind of surprised that they spent as long as they did pouring resources into this when they could have done more productive thingsYeah like giving us the fucking TLOU standalone multiplayer game. Arc Raiders absolutely ate sony's lunch on that one. Arc raiders with TLOU gameplay would be fucking number 1 right now for extraction fags.
>>740031245
>>740047268It is truly inspiring to me how belligerent stupid you look posting this over and over again. It reminds me that if I'm brain damaged enough, people would pity me just as much as I pity you. Thank you.
>>740034708it is not a good game because it is woke, if they didnt focus on the political messaging and instead made a great single player shooter, it would have been better
>>740052950What is the political message or woke stuff? I haven't played and no one has actually spoken on this specifically before.
>>740053038countless examples in this thread
>>740053116I am skimming through the thread and most of it seems like "It just is okay?!" kinda shit. Can you give just one straight specific example of the political messaging?
>>740053116Ah okay, so there's no real answer.
>>740035020>>bold, clashing color paletteIt looks weird.>>androgynous character modelsIt looks weird.>>NuCarolic = OnionsDon't even know what this means, probably something weird.> I can see why it would vibe similarly to ConcordConcord looked weird because when you gaslight yourself over a decade+ that "owning the chuds" is the prime duty of entertainment by making everything asexual, gender neutral, androgynous aka anti human, you start believing that products must be anti human and thus anti sex, because you're part of a death cult. That's what woke is. >it's impossible to touch on themes of "transhumanism" without implicitly acknowledging that cybernetic implants would definitely be used for gender reassignmentsThis reminds me of christian "debaters" who automatically assume the existence of gods. Everything to them is sign that gods exist. Similarly, everything to you is a sign that you have to cut off your genitals, because you're part of a death cult, and death cults hate reproduction and everything related to reproduction, such as sexual dimorphism, fertility cues in women(big T&A) and media aimed at reminding people that humanity exists because of reproduction, such as characters who look like they have high reproductive fitness, like athletes.It's not that "we don't get it", it's that you're a death cult obsessed with removing everything about sex in culture, because that's what woke is. That's why you're obsessed with sodomy, genital mutilation and sterilization, that's why all roads point to death in your heads, because death is what you wish for. That's why the game has death cults and organ harvesting, that's why it has an obsession with portraying humanity as compost, that's why nobody in this game looks like a human that can reproduce and that's why they all look like androgynous freaks.Why are you still perplexed that a game which looks like death, is dying? How many mentally ill people do you think there are out there?
>>740021780It has a vibe, and that vibe is woke. >But it doesn't have [insert woke thing here]irrelevant, when you have a vibe, people feel that.
>>740022618This aesthetic would have been an even worse failure it looks like any other fps. If bungie backed off on the woke ideals when designing characters and kept a more detailed form approach for everything else then marathon would've looked fantastic.
How long until next season anyway? I just want to see what pve-lite mode is all about
>>740022246>her
Just imagine all the negative reviews you can drop on steam once the free week starts.
>>740037645>(you)
>>740041268>PVP being at the end means you can still get killed and lose your shit, which totally invalidates the PVE section?? What the hell?You'll be up a team of three well armed guys against individual Rook players who start with a pistol.
>>740041508yes
>>740033426retard
bungie really haven’t caught up with the FPS genre I feel like I’m playing a reskinned 20 year old console gameI think destiny development has made their brains go rotten with complacency
>>740021780>using Sarge for your stupidity Kill yourself son.
>>740021780I don't even care about woke or not woke in this case, the game just looks and plays like ass.
>>740021780woke studio, it's not complicated
>>740038690>I know, I'll just repeat what my opposition said and replace one word!>squirrels can't breathe underwater? Well, fish can't breathe underwater! Haha, gottem!
>>740061768literally, it’s all they can do
>>740022085Yes it does
>>740021780The games queer, your so queer you can’t understand how a straight person thinks. Because your queer you need overt gayness, your desensitized to homosexuality so to you, you don’t see what isn’t straight about the game. To a straight persons brain, it’s glaringly obvious the game is queer coded. It’s subtle queerness, yet it’s there. Just because the homosexuality is restrained and veiled doesn’t mean we can’t notice it. Your whole threat is an attempt to gas light.
>>740021780Lol shillbots, just so you know, idgaf about your shit video games, I will call anything I don't like, that you make, aislop and woke slop to damage your reputation, and you fear this. I'm not buying your shit games.
>>740061768>>740062539NTA, but saying the left can't meme while reposting the same memes hundreds of times is silly-pants.
see you fucking losers at 12pm pacific for the server slam 2.0
>>740022085Making them ugly on purpose is worse.
Destiny fans are gigantic fucking faggots who can't let go, that's it. Atp Marathon has made so many improvements that they are just spiting the game now.
>>740023321That's literally a nigger. Fuck you jannies, don't care if you ban me for racism because your bungiebots cried and reported me to you. I'm not buying games with women, niggers, gays or trannies. Sucks to be you, and I know you're scared that I'm saying it because you don't want that sentiment to catch on to others and spread like your disgusting gay and tranny agenda.
>>740062539Leftists pretend not to understand while rightists deliberately misrepresent reality, nobody wants truth they just want to win.
>>740064098>Memes are when FOTM, how dare you repost things someone may have already seen, that's not memes!
>>740064250Lmaooo you're so fucking pathetic, and such a poser too. Like 5th gen 4chan, so deep fried.
>>740064285>MEMES ARE LE SERIOUS BUSINESS TO FIGHT THE WOKE MIND VIRUSlol retard
>>740053038There's some very bland anti-corporate lines. There's a line in a codex about "maybe these aliens are aggressive because humans made them that way". That's all I can find. You can theorycraft stuff about how robots don't have sex but their character designs still have sexual features. I don't really care about that, Bungie clearly wanted to make a game about humans shooting each other with AK's but some decision came down so they had to make a game about not-humans shooting each other with not-AK's instead, and had to cook up a reason as to why the not-humans have tits. The woke stuff, to the tiny extent that it even exists, isn't Marathon's biggest problem. To their credit, they have conspicuously avoided purple in their palettes, so they seem to be aware that woke and its trappings are out.
Marathon haters:>characters are disposable android shells>"why do they have ethnic phenotypes???"Also Marathon haters:>why don't they look like kawaii uguus like in muh chinese annie mays???????????Ya love to see it!It's a fucking first person game who gives a fuck what my dude looks like lmfao go outside and touch grass my guy you sound brain damaged

>>740064284>>740064394The first reasonable posts I've read on this shit board in a long time
>>740021780the reason why this slop flopped isn't wokness nor gameplay. it had to be everything that unc raiders is (meaning a large explorable PvE map with optional PVP) plus something more. bungie knows how to make fun PvE, they proved it with destiny 2. not sure why they focused on PvP instead, which they suck dick at.
Marasisters, maybe if you actually went and played your game instead of shilling for it in a single thread for over 12 hours then Bungie might still be allowed to live for another month
I'm gonna go play my favorite chud game which is uhh uhh oh gosh
>>740065567I want Bungie to die though. I'm staking it all on a slim chance that Sony hands off the game to some other developer and everything magically gets better.
Making things purposely ugly to "own" the people who arent going to be playing your game anyway.
>>740035887No, that's exactly what it was. It's just that the more people dug in relation to journo corruption in videogame industry, the more they found out, until they reached darpa and cia and then all the news outlets started to print "gamers are dead" articles simultaneously.
>>740021780Product made by women and trannies that rapes an existing classic IP while only having the flimsiest veneer of authenticity, making it gay and ugly in the processSame thing as Star TrekSame thing as Star WarsSame thing as every other property that gets raped into the ground by faggots
>game is free >miss me with that shitD2 final update gonna mog this game hard bros
>>740028853So that's what your algo looks like?
