Marathon has extended its F2P week by an additional two days because of launch issues.
>extending it>when the dads of destiny will be playing the final content patch for destiny on the 9thHumiliation ritual? More like a fetish at this point LAMO
>>740359904Survival is actually really fun. Ive been converting all my gear from it into the craddle and just blasting through the progression. Im level 46 with the craddle already.
>>740360424>rare moment of a nice Bungie gesture>haters immediately bring up fetishesAlright. JSID.
remember when shills were saying there is no cheating in Marathon? no cheating in cryo? lmao my ass off
>Getting gaped by Destiny 2 days before the big patch LOL
>>740365771its over
>>740365771>Destiny 2 gaped and RAPED by Marathons existenceHave fun with this one more update, and thanks for funding MarathonKEKAROOOOOOOO
this game should be free with a year long PSN subscription.
>>740365403Where did you see that news post? Did it happen today?
>>740366101>the better game funded my shittier game>the better game is mogging my game in terms of player count and interest, even before the June 9th patch>but I win, somehowYou're jerking off on the deck of a tiny ship that sinks as a bigger, nicer boat sails into the sunset with a party on the deck. Sorry you weren't invited.
>>740366662I'm letting this slide if you buy some silver to fund Marathon further.
>>740366891Lil bro, the moment Sony bought Bungie in 2022, Sony is the one who is funding Marathon.
So what script do you shill have for the 9th when destiny get 150k+ players?
>>740367110love me some marawelfare from D2's revenue
>>740367110Trannies, faggots, da hood, the left, Jews, maybe some jeet if I’m feeling spicy.
>>740365771Good for marathon, it’s almost beating left 4 dead 2.
Why was it so difficult to identify what sucked about Halo then make a better sci fi franchise. All their live service slop is awful, Destiny was repetitive horse shit I dropped within a week Everyone I know who logged thousands of hours say they dont even like the game its just where they hang out with friends out of habit
>>740367621Friend slop, remember when people used that as a defense for anthem?
>>740365771>Marathon qwns Hunt and TarkovThis just made my day. Thank you. Shutting down before season 2 btw.
>>740367959not tarkov, tarkov has most of its players on its own launcher. marathons best platform is on steam and its only just beating out tarkovs daily peak by less than 4k on marathons most popular platform. tarkov has more players.
>>740366518yea posted at 5:01am today https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/3065800/view/669493247455789994?l=english
Stop talking like that. Marathon is shit anyway.
>>740368243>19 reactions>5 comments>in your big F2P weekend on your lead platform's store frontI'm almost starting to feel bad for them with how embarrassing this is getting.
>>740368650No one uses those steam forums retard
>>740369031Guess it's ok that 70% of the Marathon audience isn't on Steam, right?Oh, wait. Moron.
>refunded the deluxe edition after finding out i didn't have the base game>now everyone gets the base gamefuck off
>>740365771>can’t even beat an old ass horde shooter from nearly two decades agoMarakeks? I thought the vibe shifted?????
One of these game has had a week long marketing push including a fancy trailer at Sony's State of Play, just released a major patch, and had influencers playing on Twitch.The other hasn't had a major update in months and it's just another weekend with nothing going on.Can you tell which is which? Jesus christ, Marabros. This is fucking bleak.
>>740367959at least hunt doesn't have servers crash during free plays and devs coping with claims of ddos lmao
>>740369827Yet Destiny won’t come back ;)
>>740371091neither will marathon :^)
>>740371091don't care, ratioing you faggots and seeing you continue in your humiliation ritual game will be fun enough to watch as Bungie inevitably gets closed down before they can finish Y1.
So what do we think, 150k minimum on steam for Destiny's final update? I think it can clear 200k
I'll play it when they pay me a salary to do so.
>>740371091It's blatantly apparent that Marathon is not going to be the next big thing. Literally the only way Sony makes anything back on their investment is through Destiny. There's not a single fucking thing else in that purchase that can make them money. Bungie might not survive but the Destiny IP will be back in some form.
>>740368650This post is what happens when jerking off over steamcharts doesn't hit like it used to. Just finding increasingly deranged methods of engagement. "guys the steam news thumbs ups are down 46% month over month!" Reddit upvotes are down 13%!" soon enough you will be posting about how bungie's lack of a myspace presence is a serious sign of trouble
>>740372862You came with those options, not me.
>>740368650You shouldn't. This is the part of Bungie that really, really needed their own asses handed to them. They always leaned into player-data, hiring analysts, and just being plain smug over the way they operated in the previous games (Destiny). They made their bed and now they're going to lie in it, and no amount of projection or excuses is going to save them from this fate.And to be quite honest, those morons begging for Destiny 3 are wasting their time. There's legitimately nothing left to tell. Their narrative team and lore masters completely axed entire elements of Destiny lore for the sake of minimizing the overall branching story they were trying to tell and it came back to bite them in the ass. So all in all I think it's just better to leave the series as it is, there's no more road left to pave. I'm sure it'll have tens of thousands of players for a long time though.
peak played count this week is still Tuesday, I don't feel so good bros
>>740359904>extended its F2P week by an additional two dayssweet I'm getting owned but I enjoy it
Projected max concurrent player count for all platforms.Marathon: 47130Destiny 2: 139339Marathon down about 10k from yesterday. Destiny up over 20k
>>740379763where do you get these numbers?
>>740379836Take the steam numbers then extrapolate based on the percentage of console players
Fucking hell, I expect this numbers is for just Season 2 update, not S2 update + free weekend.People are just not that interested at it at all.Also the drop during Geoff shills event is funny as fuck.
>>740380663>Also the drop during Geoff shills event is funny as fuck.lots of free betas dropped after the announcements, makes sense.
>>740369309>Only for the duration of the free to play weekThey didn't fix shit. They just weasle worded it and gave people that thought they were getting the deluxe for cheap the full game as a mea culpa for not weasle wording it earlier.Shifty assholes.
Well, its weekend night and the numbers is still shit.At this point I doubt if this game will ever see the next season.
>>740379836His ass, like all the other chud numbers that you see around
I will do nothing.
>>740359904>>740365771that's so embarrassing
>>740366101>Have fun with this one more updateUnironically I intend to. I played Destiny 1 for years in its final state and still had lots of stuff to chase, the shit they are adding in Destiny 2's final patch could easily last me years if a large enough player base sticks around.
>>740381868Friday night everyone is too tired from work, it's still technically a weekday. The real weekend starts Saturday, so we're more likely to push near 100k tomorrow night.
literally who cares?
Please! Someone think of the poor helpless multi billion dollar indie AAA dev! 600 of they/them will loose their jobs if you dont buy this!
>>740369827All I see are 60,000 goyim with absolute dogshit taste in video games
>>740379836I'm pretty sure he's doing the same basic technique that the analytic firms do, based on peak players, trough players and known PC/console split. I don't think he's doing a forrier transform or sanity checking by observing streamers. In any case, he's within the error range of the numbers I pay for very consistently.>>740382586Feel free to show your best estimates anon.
>allow streamers and sweats to farm gold and purples for free first few days of season 2>nerf it hard when the employed people come off their weekendClassic Bungie, Destiny died because they pulled a million of these retarded decisions every year.
...and they have just fallen out of top 50 rev again.
>>740359904Ain't ever gonna pay 40 fucking dollars for it but I'll give it a swing tomorrow.
Offline PvE?
>>740389042Back in my day that was called the main game, and multiplayer was tacked on as an afterthought.
>>740389042So you bitch to Valve to turn Dota into an offline idle RPG for you?
>>740359904today i reminded myself i had forgotten about maratroon and that made me feel emotional
>they added a free week markerholy kekthis game is dead250MILLIONFREEand can't manage 40k during weekends
Saaar, saaar, buy Marathon saaar! Redeem the game now! You bloody bastard, bloody! Madarchod!
>>740369031yeah because the game is dead LOL
>>740365771when Destiny 2 went F2P it almost hit 300k players, and eventually leveled out to 100k daily peak. Why isn't marathon doing those numbers? Why is it doing worse than Destiny 2 which is at its end of life when they're both free??Maratrooners????
>>740391670>300kdam that's a lot just for steam d2 was not that big on steam since the whole blizzard thing shed a lot of playersif free included consoles that would've been an easy million player spike
>>740391670>Why isn't marathon doing those numbers?Because it's not free to play for ever? Also it's not a casual game like Destiny
>>740359904buy an ad
extraction shooter is such a dog ass genre
>>740369827Destiny required a shit ton of lore, cinematics, and VA work to keep people interested. Marathon requires literally nothing. That's why Bungie is all-in on it, as it's a huge cost-saving scheme for them, even if the game is floundering.
>>740393005what's making it fail is BECAUSE no lore, cinematics, or real PvE, all of the things the Marathon series had.especially the fucking lore, Marathon Infinity is batshit insane to read. they picked literally the worst genre for this IP.
>>740393005Marathon has plenty of lore. Thing is, you can't really focus on it while getting gank raped by AI and multiple teams at once.They also put interesting lore stuff as loot, which is just the worst when you lose it.
>>740393463
>>740393005but it cost 250million and is a genre people don't give a shit about anymorethose are some awful savings for a game that has not even sold 2 mil copies after 3 monthsdestiny might've cost twice as much but it sold 2million copies in 4 days
>enter game>check out a box with some stupid icons>get shot>repeat twiceYep I'm having a blast uninstalling this.

>>740393463Lol, nobody wants your failing shit. These designs are NOT attractive in the slightest.
>>740394117This is effectively my experience with the game.Whoever is left in it has clearly gotten a lot further than myself or anyone else, and appear to be having a blast sitting on the fucking roof of any given building waiting for players to jump on the heads of.
>>740397770i'm sorry bro... that's out of date...
Played it for about 6 hours now during this F2P period.Compared to Arc raiders which I played for 40/50 hours.The shooting is way better, movement good, environment more interesting. But I think the readability of everything is worse, environment more difficult to navigate, enemies are difficult to tell apart ai from human. Overall its kinda fun, while most of its components are better than Arc Raiders, theres just something mising that I cant put my finger on.
>>740399257OUGH
>>740399932>Compared to Arc raiders which I played for 40/50 hours.I played it for 7 hours. It was nice, but I fell off hard after I finished building all the workbenches.>environment more difficult to navigateYes, it's because the maps are denser. But it's something you get used to.>enemies are difficult to tell apart ai from humanThey aren't.>theres just something mising that I cant put my finger on.Maybe the chill? You get a lot more downtime in Arc, I don't mean the PvP.
>>740379763Marathon was down like 2k kek. Chuddies can't count
>>740368205Tarkov has 1M CCU on its own launcher!! Trust me!!!!!
>>740391368It's surely dead this time. No, I didn't repeat this for 3 months just to keep convincing myself, it's actually done for. Shutdown in 5 minutes.>game gets another update and stays afloat
shit game for niggers just like arc raiders
>>740401315What is that clip supposed to demonstrate?
>>740401424NTA, but I'm guessing faulty hitreg
>>740399257God i cant believe this weird looking bitch grew on me. She’s one of those characters that the more you look at, the more you understand what the devs were going for. Im a Vandal simp moving forward.
>>740399932>shooting is betterThe shooting in Arc must be fucking terrible, then. Is it like Uncharted over shoulder shooting or something?>environments are hard to readVery much so. If you get a vista and scan it, it takes several seconds to calibrate your eyes to see if there's any movement. That could be good or bad, depending on how the devs intended it to be, but it's not like an arena shooter where enemies pop out of the environment. The bigger issue is interiors. Many times you'll see two crews running past each other, thinking that the runner they're seeing is one of their own. Somehow, there's no good FoF tech in the distant future. Environmental lighting is very bad, but that's another issue.
>>740401424george floyd being kneeled
>>740402040arc raiders and marathon are equally shit and both do not have a single redeeming quality whatsoever.
It cannot be understated how bad it is that a highly marketed AAA game from a well known studio could barely crack 40k on steam. You could take any other game that came out this year, make it free, and the numbers would skyrocket
>>740403813>You could take any other game that came out this year, make it free, and the numbers would skyrocketYou couldn't. Unless you specifically mean this year's hits, which are a minority.
>>740365771Funniest thing to ever happen in gaming would be if they throw in the towel with marathon and go back to updating destiny 2. Financially it would be the smart decision too
>>740391368if FW is free week marker, what is (2)?
>>740393463literal safe horny
They should just let netease retool their destiny game for PCBungie is dead and everyone knows it
>>740404298It's when they reached two (2) players
>>740365771So obviously being botted by the anti-Marathon chuds just so they can make these kinds of posts.
>>740371158kek
>dropping off at peak time on a Saturday >during f2p>with free handouts and extended play timeIt's the most over it's ever been since the US ended ww2 in Berlin not Moscow
>>740391368>friday>weekendNo need to flex on us with your 4 day work week anon.
It probably just should be f2p. Give the people who have paid some season pass they can redeem whenever as a sorry and move on, you'd probably end up with healthier player numbers.
>>740359904Man why wouldn't I dowload all that shit to play just a weekend, either go f2p or don't.
Imagine being barely able to raise your numbers even when you're game is free lmfao
>j-just wait for the 100k weekend peak you chuds!>can't even get to 40k againWhen will the humiliation end for this game?

>>740404802>m.jpg
>>740404993>It probably just should be f2p.Why?
>Why is no one playing our game where the rich get richer and is only fun when with a stack and sweating extra super hard on the few average joes that play in our setting of a raped IP in a genre that no one gives a fuck about?Gee, I wonder.
Can someone explain how Sony/Bungie thought spending hundreds of millions on a niche extraction shooter was a good idea? Did they think it would get ARC raiders numbers?
>>740359904okay?
>>740406342Like every company trying to follow a trend, they were YEARS behind the curve. Extraction shooters came and went, Arc Raiders exists and it's fucking care bear island BUT, that's what keeps it alive. Turns out people like survival looters against a challenging world/setting, not so much against no lifing sweaty faggots.
>>740406342They thought it would get Fortnite numbers>Okay, hear me out. Battle Royale was done first by PUBG, but when Epic used their bigger budget to make an actually good BR with Fortnite, they claimed definitive dominance over the market and got infinite money. So while Extraction Shooters aren't a "new" genre, we'll claim market dominance by using a bigger budget of our own, and become the Fortnite of Extraction Shooters!>*clap clap clap clap clap clap*
>>740365771bungie think all those destiny players will hop over to marathonthey are wrong and retarded
>>740406342The game was pitched and greenlit during scamvid lockdowns when the market was at ATH It's basically a textbook /biz/ moment but an actual megacorp did it haha>fomo into ATH>lose everything >double down
>>740406549How do retards keep climbing corporate ladders and getting the power to make these kinds of decisions? Is that the trade-off? You get to rise and make choices, but you are extremely out of touch with reality?
>>740406625Still won't be enough. $250 million fucking dollars on a game with a handful of maps, no cosmetics worth buying and really gay cosmetic slots like emblem and fucking backgrounds? The skins that cost real actual money look like shit, and it's a massive step down from Destiny 2's customization. Sure, an armor set can be mtx, but at least you can mix and match it with other shit and change it's color. Why would I spend money on Marathon? To look EXACTLY like someone else? Fuck that.
>>740406668Jewish nepotism for upper management DEI browns middle management I take it that you've never had a real job?
it should have been f2p
>>740406342It didn't start as a niche extraction shooter, it started as just like an expanded version of Destiny's open world parts, then the director got fired, then they pivoted to a more standard extraction shooter with a new director, then THAT director got fired or quit or something, and then they hired the current guy who made it the niche PvP focused extraction thing it is now when they were already far too deep in the hole to cancel.
>>740404197Doing so would be admitting ch(a)ds won. It seems like this trend isn't happening, unfortunately. Corpos would rather sink their studios and blame it on far right economy terrorists and other imaginary boogeymen
>>740404993Give me back my money so i can actually buy something worth the 40 bucks.Sony should grant the marketing team a fat fucking bonus, this is the first time in 15 years that i bought an game on impulse.
if anything, marathon is proof that bungie can still make good games with a lot of soulthey've been in the destiny mines since leaving microsoft and the release of destiny in 2014, a lot of those expansions are crap and lack any real soul in them, to the point where they're just churning out slopyet destiny fans don't want bungie to be creative with new ideas etc, they just want more slop with the destiny logo slapped on it, despite bungie very clearly not wanting to work on destiny anymore

>>740418470>Less: Hunt, Tarkov, Arena Breakout, Sulfur, Duckov, Forever Winter, Incursion Red River>More: Arc Raiders, Delta ForceWow... chuddies... I just love seeing us win(btw the first group of games would look longer if I typed their names out)
>>740359904How will Bungie employees react when Stellar Blade 2 outsells their shitty game 5x over?
>>740418796aint no way this guy isnt an extremely dedicated troll
>>740418796>Can Sony force --Oh no no no.
>>740405602Is Sony ever going to let that happen or will they just keep throwing money at it forever?
>>740418913You know there is an organized shill campaign when the chuddies make up shit to be mad about KEK
remember when you uninstall this piece of shit game, you have to uninstall Battleye anticheat separately which does not show up in your app list, in face you first have to do command line bullshit to get rid of the service, then delete the folder
DESPERATE
>>740419142[ARGUMENT #42069, DELETE THIS LINE WHEN POSTING]You know there is an organized shill campaign when the chuddies make up shit to be mad about KEK
>>740419254are marathon fans actually confused why people think the “plastic sci fi drag queen” aesthetic is a turn off for people?
This one guy has spent months straight, hours upon hours every day shilling this failure of a game lol
>>740419304this might be the bargaining stage
>>740419304[ARGUMENT #42070, DELETE THIS LINE WHEN POSTING]this might be the bargaining stage
>>740418964He sure is committed to whatever his stance is
>>740419394the Xitter blud a few messages above?
I am ashamed to admit it but I had more fun in three hours of highguarding than I had in this pos. I certainly raged less.
>>740419483He's right you know.
>>740418948The game is free and you're still losing
>>740365771Destiny CHADS, is this our redemption? >Maratroon flops>forced to cater to the only game that made them money>either Destiny 3 in the works or company shuts down in humiliating defeat, a sign never to abandon the only people who actually played your fucking games
>>740419483Guarantee you this shill is in the thread right now.
>>740419390yeshttps://fxtwitter.com/Blau_Drache_/status/2063124099409613043
>>740419782>3d printed plastic shit is sovl o algo
i like this game, but queue times are too long. how do we get more players?
>>740419924Figure out how to make the game good
>>740419782why do they use ‘gamers’ like a slur? aren’t they gamers too?
>>740419701>losing to a F2P Battlefield with extraction gamemode>also losing to the biggest extraction shooterHoly fuck... it's so over
>>740419718Destiny ran out of steam after the final shape, at that point the entire fucking story was done. Anything else, was a pointless time waster trying to wring the last few pennies out. See the star wars collab
>>740420063>no arrowAnon...
>>740420063Destiny 2 was extremely successful, even despite them trying to milk a game that's over a decade old. People left years prior because they started vaulting content because the game was becoming too bloatedYou want a solution? All they needed was to make Destiny 3, there's a fuckton of interesting lore they could have branched out on, instead they tried to make an extraction shooter (fucking lol) by way of butchering a cult classic. Literally no one asked for Marathon, plenty of people wanted Destiny 3.
>>740420431Was the dancing troon neccessary?
>>740419782Of course it's a troon
>>740359904Fucking nonbinary buff freak in Destiny and now Marathon is full of androgynous nigger bots
>>740420536No, the literal groid trannies in Maratroon were not necessary.
>>740365403there will be cheaters in any game, how fast theyre getting banned is the question
>>740389042its a pvp shooter, you wanna run around in an empty map?
>>740420713Not him but yeah. It's kinda like playing diablo killing and looting stuff. If the progression is steady I can see myself playing through it once or twice if it were that kind of game, maybe more if I like it.
>>740420431>All they needed was to make Destiny 3And, do what rehash the same fucking plot beats like it's the worlds for bing bing wahoo
>>740420634Your ‘soulful artstyle’, sir
>>740359904Maybe if they add more transgender negroes the game could be saved?
Hello anons. I'd like to introduce you to your shills for the weekend:>>740366101>>740415898>kekaroo shill/false flag shill>has been beaten down to the point he can only try to use the '/v/ said it would shut down in 2wks, it didn't, so chuds lost'>probably someone from the Maratroon Discord trying to 'fight the chuds'>>740409126>casual shill>not too aggressive about shilling, but talks unnaturally about Marathon having 'soul' or 'being really good if you try it'>may be a paid shill, but is probably just a redditor>>740416769>>740417910>>740418426>zoomer shill / clitty shill>almost certainly a teenager who has latched onto an insult he thinks is effective (talking endlessly about clitty-related stuff), but doesn't realize how bad it makes him look>thin skinned and easily triggered>uses y'all, refers to anons in negative ways like someone who isn't a /v/ user and hates the site>likely from gcj or resetera and may be an actual troonBy recognizing these people you can also tell how bad things are for Marathon, when this is the quality of the people left defending this shitheap.
>>740419782>furfags, trannies, simpsBY YOUR POWERS COMBINED, I AM CAPTAIN MARATROON
You guys talk about this game 10x more than the people who actually play it, it's pathetic
>>740421798>game has so little interest people shitposting about it and not playing it are the larger audienceI think that makes the game pathetic, m8
Pretty good bantz on the Steam forums kek
>>740420649it sounds like this is the first ban wave since launch and it makes sense they wouldnt tell us when corrective actions are being done but if they only ban at season resets it's a bit slow
>>740366662Let's not get ahead of ourselves, both Marathon and Destiny are total dogshit.
>>740422295Destiny 2 was good for the first few expansions, but anything from 2020 onward is when the descent began, and rapidly.Marathon was only good for a brief moment when it was in development, was a PVE roguelike, and had character customization instead of classes.
>>740421397nophono "shill" here, you are wrong
Ditching Destiny 2 to keep the Marathon sinking ship afloat has got to be worst decision ever made.
>>740359904Askers?
>>740422471I desperately want someone at Bungie or Sony to not give a fuck and just do an interview or leak a bunch of shit to explain this mess because I genuinely can't understand the thinking here, no matter how hard I try.
>>740421397Anon all those shills are the same guy
>>740421397Only pairing that seems correct here is the kekaro guy (troon). Even then, chuddies also use that word a lot, so it's either like 10 guys or a double agent.
>>740422407>had character customization instead of classesi kind of think if they leaned in to the classes a little bit more it would be a much better game, not hero shooter confinement where you NEED a tank/healer but a little more symbiosis would at least make it distinct, you barely need anyone else at the early levels and you eventually become self sufficient except for revives and even then you can get a 1up
>>740409126soul? soul? you look at marathon and think soul? it is the most basic generic lego building blocks layout with no rhyme or reason, the world does not look like a proper settlement, the colors are just completely random, the models (character models, buildings and particularly the weapons) all look like generic complete dogshitit is as basic bitch as it can get and that is why marathon is a horrible gameif it had even the slightest connection to the first games visually, maybe
>>740422594Destiny is too much of a guys with gun game, even when they tried to make it inclusive with all the fags and nonbinary characters.Marathon is a much more trans inclusive setting, much better at demoralization. Thus, it gets to live even though it doesn’t make sense. They don’t care about making money, they just want white men to suffer.
>>740421397>schizophrenic vision about samefags>immediately thinks of troonsJust fucking shut it down
>>740409126>bungie very clearly not wanting to work on destiny anymoreSo they made a game that plays kinda like Destiny but worse and with way worse artstyle?
>>740418796>>740418964>>740419483>yomiel in a blue suit with a troon flag behind himHang this fucking freak.
>>740420063Edge of Fate put D2 in the hole. Over 100k people just on steam came back to try out Edge and 90% of them left because that expansion was everything wrong with that retard company. They sunset your gear again, they made 90% of the activities useless to do, the campaign was bogged down by a retarded gimmick, no dungeon, and the light grind was miserable. The endgame of that expansion was grinding the same lost sector over and over and over by yourself to increase your light by maybe 1-2 points an hour. It fucking sucked. If Edge was even half the quality of The Final Shape Destiny would have never sunk to the player count it did.
>>740419483>this delusional fuck thinks Marathon will still be running in a year from nowkekaroo
>>740420913With a D3 you can advance the setting to a point where you're hands aren't as tied narratively.
>>740359904They can still unlaunch it and pretend it never happened
>>740421397just how much time do you spend here that you recognize samefags throughout several threads
>>740422205Steam comment section has always been based.You know someone said something real fucking funny when the devs have to lock the comments
>>740423893He's all of them, it’s just a falseflagging chud that has Marathon living rent free in his mind
>>740422205the steam forums is a fucking wasteland of extreme shitposting for marathon
>>740424710I tend to check on there occassionally.Posts like "confirmed: shutdown soon" and "last 30 days of the game" getting bumped from early April are so fucking hilarious, they genuinely make my day.
>>740424916>>740424710steam forums for this game are 10x more unhinged than here and its hilarious
So, should I buy this game, or...?
>>740422616Nah, their quirks in posting and typing set them apart. You can get them to abandon it for a while by pointing it out, but they normally return to their usual habits a thread or two later.>>740422797Stuck too close to home, huh? That's ok, I'm sure you're not an embarrassing person in real life at all.>>740423893I work at home in the fintech industry, so having /v/ up in a separate screen is no big deal. And laughing at Marathon has been great.>>740424916>I'm sure if I cling to these handful of people saying 'shut down in 30 days' then pointing out how it wasn't true, that will help Marathon succeed>>740425181What you're not seeing on the Steam forums anymore are the actual schizo lolcows who were posting copes about Marathon not being a flop that surpassed anything you'd see in these threads. >>740425421It's f2p right now, but you still need to install their cancerous BattleEye kernel anticheat.
>>740425587leakage
>>740421798This is because no one actually plays it kek
>>740419483>the game that sold over 16million copies week 1 is just like the game that can't even sell 2million copies after 4 months and a free weekthat is gonna be a VERY long game before they start to make profit
>>740359904>literally free rnIts never been more over
>>740426932>32k concurrent players>players usually play 90 minute sessions>16 90-minute sessions a day>16 x 32k = 512k people who will buy it just from today
>>740362296Craddle? You sucking on a dummy and wearing a soggy diaper while you game babyfag
>>740427097That's not how it works lmao
>>740406668The actual elite of this world likely never stepped in a grocery storeSo yes, once you get obscenely rich, you don't really "get" things like a normal person
>>740427097>everyone playing it will surely buy it now!i can see sony execs thinking exacly this right now
>>740365771>doing worse than left 4 dead 2 of all thingsgod what a game
>>740427097>gorillion sales trust methis you?
>>740427486>weekly bungleskekeroni
>>740427097WE FUCKING WON XISTERS
>4 months and a free weekend and it still has not even sold 2 millionholy fuckif this didn't have the Bungie name it would have been concord again
>>740427097I remember you, math anon. I still say those are very optimistic numbers and can't account for in-game purchases at all. The only thing shareholders care about are sales and ongoing costs. If costs out weigh sales, then someone will make the call to flush it.It's the exact reason why Highguard got shut down after 6 weeks. Not enough money coming in and too much operating cost to keep it up.
>>740427785To be clear, Highguard got shut down because Tencent stopped funding the """indie""" developer. Sony can very easily make the decision to keep Marathon running even at a loss and promise they'll totally turn it around. Shareholders are easily placated if the game hasn't been losing money for years yett. disinterested anon, I don't give a fuck whether this game lives or does
>>740360424>friends keeps insisting we play marathon this weekend>keeps saying its like apex legends, pubg and fortnite had a love son in a threesome>wtf?>start downloading it, at least its only 25 gigs>okay anon are you ready?>sure buddy>oh nvm i gotta go to the store, gimme 2 hours>ok, i guess i'll play a game by myself, it CANT be that bad right?>start game, i have no shit so i have to gather stuff, okay whatever, just like any other BR game >see some folks ahead, try to be sneaky as i have no guns other than a semi pistol with 6 bullets>some scanner activates andit reaches where i am>4 dudes rush to where i am, all carrying LMGs and all sorts of stuff>die immediately>same dudes on the VC>"LMAOOO look at this noobie, lmao he's carrying pure trash what a waste of bullets">next game>realize can start with the stuff i keep by extracting in prior games>3 or 4 games my frined joins in>LMAO anon you played 4 games and have no stuff? dont worry ill defend you>he and other 2 dudes friends of his joins us and we win7extract 3 games in a rownahhh, this one's a game for neets playing all day long, i just want to come home and disconnect myself for a few games, not worry about losing a rifle i got 4 games ago
>>740428031git gud
Dark and Darker has been limping along with 4k players during their lows, hitting maybe 20k peak when a big wipe patch hits. These are not the failure numbers you guys think they are.And before anyone says>Dark and Darker didn't spend as much moneyI recommend you look into all the legal drama and fees that game has dealt with. Because despite all that and the modest player base, the game is still actively being developed.
>>740428232wat is even your argument? we managed to keep winning? i just dont like the fact that it is a weapon collector
>>740428803Dark and Darker didn't spend as much money.>b-butDark and Darker didn't spend as much money. They didn’t spend 4 billion dollars on legal fees.
>>740427097Jamie, pull up the Steam top sellers chart.
>>740428803Did Dark and Darker cost $250m to develop?
>>740427986Highguard died for one reason and one reason only:>nobody played, which meant nobody paidTencent had a clause in the contract with those devs that let them pull out if sales targets weren't met, but even if Tencent stayed around, the game was not paying for itself at all.>Sony has infinite moneyWatch their latest financial call with the investors. The boss of Sony's gaming group talks about discipline and cost savings left and right. Don't forget that Sony shut down two different studios this year, too. I don't think they have any desire to fund this trash, but it's clear they'll tolerate some spending just to avoid the embarrassment of admitting Marathon is Concord 3.
>>740429543>Sony has infinite moneyI didn't say that, I said they can string shareholders along for a year or two by promising it will totally make money soon
>F2P weekend >Still can't beat Highgaurds peakImagine losing to fucking Highgaurd in F2P appeal
>>740428803>muh games with worse numbers are still aroundThis argument only works if you choose to ignore how commercial businesses operate. If your game costs a quarter of a billion to make, only getting poverty numbers like 10k CCU peaks means you're never recouping your development costs. If your game costs $10m or less, sure, over time with 10k CCU and a good monetization plan, you can probably become profitable.>>740429618Marathon wasn't even mentioned in the investor call. Bungie only got mentioned related to the impairment loss. Investors rarely care about individual games and just want to see line go up. But you know what makes line not go up? Throwing money down the Bungie pit.
>>740429056you just kinda talk like a whiney bitch made faggot in general dudemaybe stick to faggot simulators like nb2k or some shit you low agency no skill retard
should i buy the game? i really only care about pve content.
>>740430031The PvE absolutely fucking sucks.
>>740430031>I really only care about PVE contentPlay either Warframe or wait for Division 2 to go on sale.
>>740430031>i really only care about pve contentPlay Remnant 2 then
>>740359904I am glad this had a free weekend, because i'm one of those folks that liked the aesthetics and may have spent $40 to give it a shot. After actually playing it, I realized it's not something I would ever spend money or time playing regularly. Thanks Bungie.
>>740359904Still not playing.
>>740430536Remnant 3 when?
>>740430031the PvE atm is basically nonexistent and shit, so no
>>740430031it's f2p just go try it out you spasticthe pure pve mode isn't coming until later. right now it has a pvp-lite mode though, so go play that and spend some time shooting roblox enemies. you'll know if you want to buy it by the end of the day
>>740419483GTA makes millions every month because it has millions of people still playing it. If Marathon somehow stays at 10k players and every single player spends $100 per month it would take more than 20 years for them to make 250 mill.
>>740431582LONGHAUL
>>740429681Highguard was a blast compared to this one. I have not seen such bloodbath after the tutorial mode in any game other than maybe quake champions. DOA.
>>740359904this game is so cooked, june 9th will be fun.
>>740427097The server slam playtest had 200k players only 88 thousands showed up during release kek. It will be back down to 10k the moment the free week ends.
>>740359904So, when is the optimal peak time? I just want to take a screenshot at the right time, would say Saturday 10pm GMT?
>>740431990ccu isn't uniques you stupid faggot
>>740432027like 10-11 EST
>>740432126>10 ESTThat's 4AM in Europe, I'm talking about peak worldwide not US.
I gave it a chance and honestly i'm surprised how much i like it after not enjoying Hunt or Arc Raiders. Both of those just felt too paranoid all the time but for some reason Marathon feels like Halo Reach multiplayer but with some MGSV online shit thrown into the mix and its this super specific blend that makes me really enjoy it as a solo player in a way that i just dont get from the other genre entries i tried.
>>740432282>I'm talking about peak worldwide not US.Oh well this is an american game so its highest peak will be at that time. But worldwide peak should be around this time, 3-5 EST usually.
>>740432027the peak for marathon seems to be UTC 2:00usuallyaround that time. give or take an hour
>>740432331You are probably playing the baby mode. I admit it was okay there but after level 10 or so it gets ugly real fast. Especially that swamp map. Fuck that.
>>740432391>UTC 2:00"oh well this is americuck"no wonder.
>>740432282Marathon only has peaks during burger hours, anon. Nobody outside of North America plays this slop.>when are the peaksNormally, there are two each day. One at 0000 UTC, then the higher peak at 0300 to 0400 UTC.
>>740389759NTA but that is unironically the only way I would get into ASSFAGGOTS.The fact this is not already in the game as a practice mode for newbs is retarded and the fact you would be against it proves you are genuine, professional dicksucker, and a gay retard.Also a fake nigga.A bitch ass nigga.A jeet.A bitch.A ball fondler.And your pits smell bad.I hope you step on a lego with a bare foot and hit your knee against a coffee table.
>>740393463Uh, where is the bulge and big futa cock?
>>740401315How did Bungie land on an artstyle that is indistinguishable from Roblox?
>>740434627by having taste and talent unlike you, you out of shape, glasses wearing, no talent retard
>>740427097>16 90-minute sessions a daydoes this include the 4k bots & shills that idle on the main menu during maintenance?
>>740406342>Can someone explain how Sony/Bungie thought spending hundreds of millions on a niche extraction shooter was a good idea?They thought they bought Halo as an Ip.I am not joking.This was supposed to be some form of payback after MS bought Activision / Blizzard.Funnier yet; a gay version of Halo CE is coming to PS5 anyways and there is ZERO hype for that.
>>740432391>>740432737I wonder why? Why was this game rejected by the rest of the world?
>>740434627>What if in the future everything is modular, you have a slot and put what you want in itIt's not a bad concept but unless you have different shapes for different functions you end up with this shit, just squares and rectangles for everything
>>740429962Shill.
>>740435239amerigolems have no taste, theyre a slave race to israel and jews
>>740409126>if anything, marathon is proof that bungie can still make good games with a lot of soulI made this image solely to laugh at this point.Lol, Lmao Even.
I am most surprised that Bungie did not shell out money to pay streamers again like they did the first three weeks. Money must be real fucking tight they didn't pay the big streamers to shill the big S2 update.
it’s over for marathon, most bungie employees I see in my LinkedIn network are #OpenToWork and from what I know there is a very big internal push from management to lean on genAI to make up for the coming headcount reductions
>>740434871>they thought they bought the Halo IPI've never understood this insane bullshit. Sony spent $3.6 *billion* on this. You don't think they had a huge team of corporate lawyers crawling through every single thing that Bungie owns? You think nobody at Sony knew Microsoft has owned Halo for years predating them buying Bungie? FFS.>>740435239I think hardcore PVP games just don't do well outside of the US, and the audiences that do play those games already have their preferred ones and won't switch. The matchmaking got so bad in the UK and Italy that Bungie had to do a patch to widen the matchmaking pool But Bungie referred to as 'support for remote regions,' lol
>>740434728>by having taste and talent unlike you, you out of shape, glasses wearing, no talent retardI walked Master Chief up on stage in 2004.Who the fuck are you?We still have as many as 40 employees (Formerly 80) from the Halo days!You're nothing.
>>740436513If the lawyers fact check then nothing is done while if they feign retardation they still get a cut out of the deal and Sony cannot sue their own lawyers.If anything this demonstrates that even Playstation executives know dick all about videogames.
>>740436764Anon, it's pure insanity to think Sony thought they were getting Halo. I think Bungie is the most expensive acquisition Sony ever did, so they went over everything with a fine tooth comb.The real mystery is why, after going through the books and everything else, they still went ahead with the purchase. Even Microsoft looked at Bungie around the time they were getting Activision, saw their books, and said 'fuck no.'
>free to play>32k on a Saturdaylol
>>740437167Dads of Marathon are busy going out with their wives. Wait until sunday
>>740437167Can it, chud. Adults have adult responsibilities like spending time with their families and kids. Wait until tonight.>>740437263Fuck you anon, you mind melded with me. lmao
>>740436923If you can, do browse the threads from around the time Sony made the purchase of Bungie.It was Sony's response to Microsoft getting COD, thinking Microsoft would lock them out of the market since people only play two things on PS: COD and Fifa (Now EA FC).Sony crawled up the wall and seek to sue Microsoft, denounce them for breaking anti-trust laws, accused them of all sorts of things Infront of the EU and the UK tribunals.If you ask now, you will be told it was part of their keikaku but back when Sony was genuinely this fucking retarded and desperate. If you need more proof look at Sony's current state.They merely went for it.The reason this fiasco is called Marathon despite being mostly unrelated is because they would had called it Halo if they could so they went for the next best thing: An obscure series that hasn't been referenced since Halo 3 release.Also it is really hysterical to think this is closer to Sega's Hyenas than Marathon.
literally the worse type genre they could've possibly pick to spend 400 million dollars on after sunsetting their main PvE game. what a bunch of retards.
It’s just unfortunate that the first f2p weekend was at the same time as the Amazing Digital Circus finale showings, I just passed by a big theater in my city and it’s full, everyone must be watching it instead of playing the game
>>740427703It's been 3 months doe kek
>>740432737>"slop">constantly ridiculed for its playercount>clearly doesn't have mass appealBuzzword simulator
>>740434871>>740436513Sony saw how much money Destiny was making on their platform and thought they were buying a premade GaaS, not saying Halo isn't a great bullet point in Bungos portfolio but I doubt it was a huge factor 15yrs(?) after the IP was sold
>>740429681>ev&doe the server slam already peaked way higher
>>740437836The gaping of Destiny needs to be studied.The fact the entire campaign was removed altogether as to not interfere with the MTX hungry side of things is fucking incredible.Despite that the game was still doing "fine" and it took a lot of effort and shitty updates layered on top of each other to dent the playerbase.So Bungie went ahead and just sunset the game so it doesn't interfere with Marathon.They are actually hoping the fanbase migrates to Mrathon.If it works, we have find a fanbase more battered than that of Blizzard and Bioware.And I still need to know why does Bungie need more than 300 staff members for an extraction shooter.The damned thing has 4 maps.I can't think of a game that has shipped with these few maps, and this is a PVP centric game and it took how many years? Four.What do these people do all day?
>>740429741>Marathon wasn't even mentioned in the investor call.It was. You're thinking of Destiny.
>>740437167everyones' bosses called them in for work that's why they can't hop on
Played this game since its F2P and I genuinely cannot believe it's $40 normally (with a bunch of microtransactions and season pass bullshit)You just go around collecting garbage from containers and shoot robots that try to stop you from leaving with the garbage, so you can sell your garbage later and buy gear to collect more garbage, and sometimes you'll get to kill other players and take their garbage? Thats the whole game? Bungie threw away Destiny for this?
>>740431759You and the other 500 people who were blasting a month after launch might agree with you.
>>740438764>What do these people do all day?Some of them really do just leave the client open on Steam all day.
>you now remember shills desperately begging you to play during F2P, with the classic ol "you don't even know the game, you at least have to get to cold storage or whatever it's called to be able to form an opinion!"
>>740434869>they have 4k bots just to boost numbers Cope fumes so dense, I can barely see your comment nigga.
>>740438946>Bungie threw away Destiny for this?>calls the garbage some gay glimmer glitter millenial cringe faggot horseshit instead>it's lé good nowfuck off retard
>>740439423oh so you were one of the real people idling? got it
you seriously need to kill yourself, frumpyyou do more harm to the game than good
>>740439628nobaldi does that btw. meds
>Too scared of replying directly Uh oh chud melty
>>740439906Literal who?
no one even knows who you odd coordinated same fagging retards are talking to except yourselves for what? enagement?shits mad retarded and there's no way any of you are good looking at all even a litle bit
>>740440234>there's no way any of you are good looking at all even a litle bitwhere do you think you are?
>>740439608Hey I think destiny fucking sucked too but at least it was a complete game. Had multiple game modes and campaigns and a huge fan base. Doesn't make sense to shut that down for an extraction shooter years late to the genre
>>740434871>They thought they bought Halo as an Ip.>I am not joking.You're a retarded faggot. Microsoft had been making their own Halo games for over a decade at the point of sale. There is no universe where Sony thought Bungie owned Halo.
>>740440234Damn you're right. If only i had boughted Marathon, I would be a chad by now..
>>740440234Vaguepost king
>>740440035servers were down from 3:45pm pst to almost 10pm pst and player numbers didn't drop below 4k so who was it? even if tards somehow missed bungos announcement, how lmany people had the patience to spam matchmaking only to be met with a red error screen and for how long
>>740440918it was the first free day so probably waves of people booting it up for the first time then bouncing off and uninstalling. unironically probably torched whatever second chance to make an impression they had
>>740441089Imagine being responsible for the networking code and your fuckup causes this to get shut downKino
>>740440918Unscheduled maintenance right on season 2 launch day with the free week just starting.I also believe that it weren't the same 4000 Marafans waiting for hours, since that's not how CCU works.
>>740417976AI says both words work. I don't think Marathon is foundering yet. That would be Concord numbers.
>>740438946>so all you do is shoot enemies in the shooting game?>>740438764>They are actually hoping the fanbase migrates to Mrathon.you're implying bunghole have any say in the matter or that marathon is the replacement for destiny the leaks even said devs are in the middle of pitching what they do next but in the meantime sony wants them helping the marathon teamyou're also ignoring that bunghole very obviously don't want to work on marathon there's nothing to buy almost no content the worst single boss they've ever made using all rehashed assets and empty forms and right now even when sony want them working on marathon they're focusing on destiny 2s sunsetting patch instead
>>740359904it's dead bro move on
>>740391490>yeah because the game is dead LOLHow dare you!
>>740441310And to add to this Sony explicitly wants new financially sustainable project/s from Bungie that don't require a 1000 tranny army to sell 1 expac per year to a diminishing playerbase which can barely afford such a massive overpaid studio. You're still getting the next PvE game from Bungie but it will be made by fewer people and with replay value and hands-off longevity as the primary design goal.
>>740441503that dude is a bonafide schizo, he's got like 3 steam accounts he uses to run defense on the forums for the game 16 hours a day kekbootlicking shill
>>740415898I'll have the last laugh when bungie stops making updates to the game, tranny
>>740438575Bungie's bosses at the time pulled off probably the greatest swindle in vidya history convincing Sony they were worth almost $4b.
>>740438856Oh right, the CFO made those almost misleading claims about Marathon having strong retention, lmao. Good thing she carefully omitted that she was only talking about the three weeks after it launched before the end of March.
>>740442194honestly you have to respect the hustleif I could sell a bunch of trannies and diversity hires to a megacorp for $4B I'd do it too
>>740418796
>>740440184A legit lolcow from Marathon's forums on Steam. He made at least three alts to keep posting when his main account would get banned, and they were all completely insane shilling for Marathon that would put the shills in this thread to shame. I think he got permabanned finally.
>>740440234Lil bro, you need to not post in this thread if you get tilted so badly by people making fun of your retarded ass.
>>740418796lovingeverylaugh
>>740441279>messy, chaotic, struggling to keep playersThat is exactly what's happening with Marathon. Why the hell else did you think they did a f2P week, 30% discount, and all these bullshit 'experimental' modes that totally go against the originally stated design direction for the game? The ship is sinking and they're trying anything to keep it afloat.
>>740442262The CEO sounds like a fucking troll, too>swindle Sony>add more cars to your collection>ask some DEI roastie to come over to see your cars>she refuses>roastie gets caught up in layoffs a few months laterlmao
it's just a ponzi scheme of a game You have a tiny bunch of whales that buy skins and want to melt new players, but eventually they drop or become too good to be easy prey so you need more players to come in. this week is just jucing the veterans so they stick around after getting their fill of curbstomping. maybe you convert a whale or two, all the better
>>740442612
>>740359904>requires Battleye to play
>>740443993>shit nophono cares fan aboutwhat the FUCK does that even mean?
>>740442820you talk like a mentally ill person
Oh no chuddies. Oh no... higher numbers than yesterday.It's gonna hit 100k on Sunday. Quote me on this. We MaraGODS always win.
>>740444278can you people fuck off? it's extremely obvious to everyone here you aren't a native
>>740444825>you aren't a friggin Nateive4cuckies...
>>740444825your wack projecting, accuse the other person of what you yourelf are doing stchick doesn't work dipshityou're an easy to spot midwit with nothing original to say who speaks entirely in ironic buzzwords
>>740445016>>740445038not how 4chan users typekill yourself you brownoid shill
>>740445101>dios mio 4chan users do not type like this o algo
>>740359904You'd have to pay me to play it, no thanks.
>>740436515good post
>>740436513>they thought they bought the Halo IP>I've never understood this insane bullshit. Sony spent $3.6 *billion* on this. You don't think they had a huge team of corporate lawyers crawling through every single thing that Bungie owns? You think nobody at Sony knew Microsoft has owned Halo for years predating them buying Bungie? FFS.Dude. When Pokemon Go was launced and became a huge hit overnight, Nintendo's stock rocketed up. Then like two days later it rocketed back down because the investors realized that Nintendo doesn't actually own Pokemon, Pokemon Company does. This is how retarded the people in charge of world economy are. THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE BUYING. They know nothing about anything beyond the absolute most surface level shit, and their purchasing power is a million times ours. This is why the world is fucking doomed: the people piloting the ship are actual imbeciles.
How long until they move this entire game to the Content Vault
>>740445776>the people piloting the ship are actual imbeciles.unlike you right
>>740445934I would be if I wiped out close to a billion dollars and counting worth of value for my employer.
>>740445934Yes, correct. Happy you know that.
>>740446005but you're an attention seeking retard talking out of their ass all day on a video game forum like a moron though?
>>740446074At least i'm not a Bungie employee about to get fired LOL
>>740437263what about church? i say wait until monday evening, that is when the maradads have some time after putting their kids to sleep, then its going to 100k
>>740444801Tonight I get to see if my 55k-60k prediction comes true. I discerned all the variables and ran all the numbers in formulas right when they announced F2P and it came out at ~58k peak on this Saturday night. However it's starting to look like that was overestimated. >>740445038Just stop with the "mentally ill" "meds" "get therapy" shit. It's 70 IQ and it's shameful. Make a coherent argument if you disagree with something like an adult.
>>74044634735k tops on steam tonight. Might not even be 50k on all platforms.
>even with a f2p week on all platform they didn't put out a 1mil player milestone post
>>740359904We're at Weekend at Bungie's 6 at this point, fucking let it die already...
>>740446274>about to get firedReply date range: March 5-June 6
>weekend>summer, kids are home from school>f2p>off the back of a big wipe and s2 update>might not reach 40k tonightKEKAROOOOOOOOO
>>740359904>still didn't make it to its all time peak while f2p. its over for bungie.
>>740446347Seek help.
>>740446721There's no point anymore, they missed their chance. The longer you wait the worse it looks. 007 has shat out 3 million sales and it's only half way through its second week, what's it going to look like if Bungie announced that they've only sold 2m after four months of sale, two F2P periods and multiple rounds of discounts?
>>740447000>might not reach *arbitrary number* tonightThe chuds never stop winning, do they?
>>740446347>55k-60k prediction comes trueIt's still 2k below yesterdays high of 32k right now. I'd be surprised if it even matches yesterdays high.
>>740447379It already surpassed yesterday's high.
>>740446595>>740447379I could see it getting up to 40k tonight but it's amazing how far off it is from what felt like a pessimistic prediction last week. People install, try+see it, and bail out so quickly that they don't even stick around long enough to comprise any kind of mass.>>740447046Room temp IQ in a cool climate.
>>740447379>ev&doe it already surpassed yesterday's high.
>>740447170Your 100k, troonsister? Don't tell me you forgot...
>Maracucks have their game to enjoy with years of updates to come>Meanwhile chuds have fun jerking off to lines on a websiteFace it Maracucks... chuds won and it's not even close.
>>740404802>Every character looks like a clown>How could that happen???
>>740359904NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>740444125It's one of the shills who got called on saying 'clitty' over and over, so his zoomie defense mechanism is to switch to some other retarded word he think makes him fit in. Doesn't work, sadly.
>>740445226That anon is right, though. You retarded tourists stick out like an underage trying to pass a fake ID at a bar. I wouldn't mind it if you weren't so intensely stupid and full of the most dogshit opinions I've seen in these threads.>>740445934Almost every anon who saw Marathon after it got announced called the flop a mile away. And wouldn't you know, they were all totally right.>>740446347Chartanon, is that you? And don't bother talking to the >meds guy, I think he may actually be one of the original marketer shills from back at launch, the same guy who was always seething about Arc Raiders.And 35k seems like tonight's high based on a general 2k loss day to day since Thursday. If it can't beat 40k on either today or tomorrow, that's disaster level for a weekend when you've thrown everything you have into promoting the game and giving to people to play.
Talk shit on marathon and bungie all day long they deserve it but I didn’t realize how many destiny loving faggots existed on this board. Destiny was always a retard game for stupid freaks with bad taste
>>740448315>everyone that disagrees with me is one personJust genuinely take your meds at this point.
>>740449034You're right, I'm sure the game with the same adolescent posting style, same opinions, and same word usage is actually multiple anons and it's just a coincidence. This low IQ is why you don't belong here.
>>740359904waiting for that anon to post his shit gameplay like he has since the server slam or has he finally given up on this shit game..
I'm really down with the vibe / art style of this game, think they really nailed it there.. also factions, lore, everything. But never played an extraction shooter before and doubt I will with this - shit's stressful as fuck. Also I suppose not much point getting into a live service game if they may pull the plug on content soon, since they're probably not making enough to continue full development into future seasons.I'd be down if it was a heftier discount, and considering there's a decent amount of in-game monetization.. just make this game 10 bucks, or free if they improve the purchasable skin options.
>>740449846they will make a pve mode, that might be more your speed. it will be their last ditch effort to make this profitable.
>>740359904what were they thinking with the tranny artstyle?was never going to be popular
>>740450076The sad part is the style is really interesting, but they wasted it on this $250 million extractionslop shooter.
>Tell the marathon shill yesterday that the game would peak lower than on Thursday>Erm... no chud it's actually higher at the same time >He is so dumb he didn't account for it being Friday so less people are working and at school, of course more will be on earlier >It did end up peaking lower than Thursday It's honestly so damn easy to humiliate marathon shills because despite all the talk around steam charts the last couple months, they still have no idea how they work
>>740445226You stick out like a sore fucking thumb. 4 replies and still hasn't brought up troons... yikes
even your samefagging is obvious, jesus christ, calm down miguel
100k players when?Free for PS plus when?More good content when?
>>740450076Their management (and definitely their Seattle employees) may just not have cared about the money aspect. I imagine a $50 million game that looks like this and it makes sense because it's clearly appealing to *some* people as a niche offering but, at the budget they apparently had, you do have to seriously consider ignorance or even malfeasance to explain the look.
>>740450781Impossible At this rate before the end of the year NuBungie can't make good content (unless your game is being forced to shut down so you cram a year of shit into 1 update)
>>740450248Wasn't xis point that it won't peak 4k lower?Which it didn't
Keep extending the f2p period.
>>740365771Well I'm happy left 4 dead is still going so strong, proud of you
>>740401861>glitch bandwagoner cringe...
....
The cope is always great in these threads
Soooo... why did they make Marathon instead of Destiny 3, when that would've made them 10 times more money
>>740453053shows how much worse the marathon style is.
>>740453340hubristhey were living in a fantasy world where Destiny 2 would never die, so they siphoned resources off of it and funnelled it into various projects in the hopes that they'd become the new Blizzard with half a dozen popular series under their belt. When Destiny 2 inevitably began to sink, layoffs came in and killed every single project besides Marathon, which was the furthest along presumably. Suddenly this niche extraction shit became too big to fail.
>>740359904I played the free version, but stopped when I realized I couldn't play as or customise a cool robot. I fucking hate the "hero" classes, you have a fucking remote controlled bot WHY DO THEY LOOK LIKE E WHORES WEARING HEADSETS ARRRHGHHGUGHH. Don't even get me started on the fucking nigger designed bot, absolutely disgusting
I saw a cute Chibi of one of the characters someone posted a few hours ago. Can someone post that? Forgot to save it
these free weekend numbers are fucking hilarious
>>740452256
I played a bit of this game and the graphics are amazing and gameplay seemed totally fine. The menus were confusing as hell though and I hate looter shooters. I can't believe chuds tanked Bungie over a game that's not even bad.
Whats your Marathon playstyle? Are you LEAVAN after the free trial, or are you a NOT INSTALLAN type of player?
>>740455076>It's da chuds fault it flopped lol
>>740455076but I didnt do anything
>>740454950the funny thing is that if you were to post this on the official subreddit it would get nuked by the janitors because how dare you make the characters look good! they're not human chud!
>>740453184Yeah, chuddies sure aren’t taking well the success of Marathon, their copes have been hilarious these days
>>740455280It kinda is though. People didn't buy it because the whole internet was saying it's shit for no good reason.
jesus christIT IS FREEAND ON 30% SALESATURDAY NIGHTTHEY EVEN BOUGHT FRONT PAGE AD ON STEAMNOTHING WORKS LMAO
>>740455556There's a separate Marathon subreddit for shitposting and there's more pics of this model on there. From the person who made the model, too.
>>740455821I know but that one doesn't get visits from the devs, the devs actively despise people making sexy artwork of their game and they encourage moderators to remove it. baffling
>>740455716so this is the power of a 4 billion dollar game studio
>>740455910Funny, considering the fact that the model is based on her design from the short film.
do they know?
>>740456475those who jog
>>740456475Bruh what is that
>>740456475What if they called themselves NIGGERS?
I just uninstalled it and decided the game isn't for me. >It's a modern bulletsponge game of MUH BLUE SHIELDS MUH PURPLE SHIELDS>All off the loot is fucking garbage>You spawn into a match and it's just you and the UESC botsI like the aesthetics sometimes, but this shit is not fun.
>>740421397The most important shill move is just throwing up whatever retarded crap to keep OP's ad of a post bumped. I'm sure we'll see it again, from an OP who doesn't know a biotoxic disinjector from his own sex life..
>>740455716We are all [INSERT HERE RANDOM RELEVANT EVENT, PLEASE DELETE BEFORE POSTING IT] chud, wait for the [WRITE HERE THE CLOSEST HOLIDAY PERIOD THAT TO THE DATE YOU’RE POSTING]
still struggling to git gud. I love the aesthetic but I'm wondering if extraction shooters just might not be for me. also does all my progress reset after this free week like it did for the server slam?
D2 won
>>740458245spite is a great motivator
>>740455572I think the part where it's a shit fucking game; made by retarded faggots for stupid faggots, is a pretty good reason.
>>740458820The paradox of humanity is that we're motivated to action more often by negative emotions (spite, fear, vengeance, jealousy) than positive. Some family members have finally quit drinking...after the blood tests showed that them the damage they'd already done. >>740459403Their social media is what made me go from indifferent to hating them. They've embraced some of the modern evil notions now I've got to hate them.
>>740458245June 9th will be a bloodbath
>>740459794Good. That's what Sony and Bungie deserve
>>740456475Which one of you did this?
>>740455572>no good reasonFrom the moment it got revealed as an extraction shooter, everyone was fairly clear about asking 'Who wanted this?' Bungie doubling down didn't help, but what really killed public sentiment was the art plagiarism scandal. /v/ laughing at it isn't big enough to tank a game.
>>740456881>shills want these threads bumpedWhen 90% of the thread is people laughing at Marathon and pointing out how bad it's doing, that's not going to get people to think 'Hey, I should play it.'
>>74045507690% of /v/ is bots and shitskins too poor to afford games, this board has literal zero market influence lmao.
>>740462291The game flopped because it's bad dude
>>740461982They've given up on that. The "free weekend" signpost being in the catalog is the best they can hope for.
>>740462392nigga what game, I'm responding to the dude who thinks the faggot crusaders here make a difference
>>740462730They made enough difference for Bungie to attempt to shut this place down.
>>740463347Wut, when was that?
>>740463267Don't worry, Marabros. The west coast burgers will shore up these numbers, then we'll see who laughs.
>>740463562The "Stop Online Hate" thing. They gave millions to the SPLC, SPLC went after payment processing and hosting. Remember when this place was split beteween chan and kun?
>>740463267>Brand new Marathon is already giving the years old established Destiny 2 a run for its moneyKWABOTY
