What am I in for? Just done with the exams I want a multiplayer shooter that's deeper and more punishing than your average die and respawn cawadooty
>>744665492expect to join a discord and find two other people to play with or you will either get dumpstered by stacks or if you play solo you will be locked out of the endgame map and constantly be fighting the game's design
>>744665492actual kino
>>744665492its really something when the stars alignone of the greatest games ever unironicallybut only sometimes
>i want a multi player game>picks the game going full solo play before its inevitable service shut downKekaroo
>>7446654923 other people to play with, until they quit too.
>>744665492A rough and confusing start.In solo, chilling with looting and PvE until you end up in the earshot of another player, followed by a swift death since only the most dedicated (read: unemployed) players remain.In trios, getting carried while trying not to lag behind for the aforementioned reason, making the whole run into a confusing blur.In the PvE mode that's going away in 2 weeks, pretty alright experience, once start respecting the bots and using cover.
hi r/maratroonhate saaaars! how's the punjabi subreddit going?
>>744665492It's certainly more punishing since you lose all your shit on death, I don't think it's much deeper on average though since most fights are over in a half a second of gunfire from someone randomly popping around a corner much like CoD.
>>744667204t. shitter
>>744665492Just wait for the free week for season 3.
>>744671228already buy boughtedest it
Its pretty enjoyable until you kill the Compiler and then you've seen and done everything so all you really do is just roam the maps for objectives if you care about certain cosmetics or pvp
>>744666010unironic semen meter gaming shakin my smdh
>>744665492Joining this late in the season is pretty shit.If you haven't bought it yet I'd wait for S3.If you have I'd stick to rooking, ratting solo and the PvE.Prioritize like this : knowledge > faction upgrades > loot.Read everything.The fast TTK works in the noobs favor, 2 heavy knife strikes downs any player no matter the shield so you can realistically kill dudes with 10k loadouts if you get the drop.
>>744665492If you hover over the objectives in a contract it will give you additional info
>I want a multiplayer shooter that's deeper and more punishing than your average die and respawn cawadootyand you think Marathon is that? lol
>>744674576I literally is
>>744674789Bro is!
Blast status?
>>744665492Difficulty at the start can be pretty crushing. I can only really give you tips for solo. Solo and trio are different experiences, solo is stealthy, trio is aggressive. My best and most broad advice is don't take a fight were you don't have the advantage, try to avoid otherwise. Also, D54 is a really strong gun, it's cheap and you can buy it right away.
>>74467512This nigger came all the way from reddit to post the same shit on 4chinx
>>744674789it's punishing by nature of extraction but it is not deep at all
>>744675828I get that you're contractually obligated to never show this game in a positive light, but saying that it's not complex and deep is just straight up lying.
>>744676931this is low effort bait even for a shill reply, anon
>>744677151NTA, but pic related is my Steam data for Marathon. It's complex, sure, but explain to me how it's deep.
>>744677248>but explain to me how it's deepit's not
>>744673976>Joining this late in the season is pretty shit.Holy shit think about that for a minute.The game is worse depending on when you buy it.Marathon really is just the perfect storm of crap.
>>744678002Same is true for every game with wipes.
>>744678075I have to assume that Bungie - who design games - knew that 7 years ago when they started designing this """game""".
>>744678182Seasons weren't part of the original idea. In fact, the game's direction shifted a few times, with what we got being like a second or third iteration, by Joe Ziegler.
>>744678662>Seasons*wipes
>>744665492It took me about 3 games to find a player and it was a really awkward standoff, uninstalled after that
>>744678002Least retarded nigger in Jakarta, Indonesia.The game is good no matter when you buy it because wipes end, but starting 2 months into a wipe would be like joining a league game 25 minutes in.
What's funny about anyone still coping about this game is that the insanely low player count has gotten to the point where it is almost certainly impacting the quality of the matches too. Probably takes forever to find a match in some regions, games don't fill up with players, running into the same people over and over, no new players to stomp on. So even the people defending it at probably having a bad time kek
>>744679095The streamers were already complaining about it during season 1 because they kept getting matched against other people in endgame gear and didn't like that they couldn't freely stomp every lobby lmao.
>>744679095Nice fantasy bro, games take 30secs more to find that 2 months ago and stomping noobs for there 500cred loadouts is boring as shit.
>>744677248Right off the bat it's deeper than most games because of the hero and extraction system, and the wipes forces you to engage with the game in very different ways depending on your economy as well as the general economy, the game plays very differently a lot as the months go by, although this season has been an exception because they fucked the economy day 1. Not to mention the buildcrafting and loadout tuning, and it also has a lot of potential for adding new modes like rook and for expanding into other generes like vault breaker.
>>744679957Sure, I guess. Could have been deeper, though. Like if you could customize shells instead of having heroes.
>>744681726There's a version of that in the runner cores, but being able to fully customize shells would ironically make it more shallow because every would be running the same thing.
>>744677248>multiple movement options for different classes>customization heavily alters weaponry>implants offer insane build variety like melee and synergize with weaponsoff the top of my head
>>744666010The WebMs I've seen of this look serviceable, if not pretty fun. It's just an APEX without abilities and with less TTK? I guess people are just saturated with their primary games.
>>744686864The TTK is not THAT fast, is just slightly below apex, some weapons will require you to land more than a dozen shots to down someone, there is also fairly deep buildcrafting. The real unsung heroes are the map design and the sound design they're stellar.
>>744686864>>744688067Also there are abilities, up to 3 and a passive for each shell.
>>744666010That HUD/UI is atrocious.
>>744688293I think it looks cool
>game has wipeswhat's the point of playing then
>>744689063Anyone still playing is a psycho looking for his next murder-fix.
>>744689063Oh, no, really?
>>744673976>2 heavy knife strikes downs any player no matter the shieldThis hasn't been true for like 4 months dudeUnless you're an assassin with shadow strike, a purple shield is always LLH and that's with 85 melee damage bare minimum
>>744666010>Ui clutter messI rather play marvel rival..
solos and trios play entirely different from each otherthat being said i've played cryo archive with random fill a small handful of times and my recent run i actually got a vault done so naturally my delusion of grandeur says i can get a compiler kill this season
>>744689063>League and cs2 dont let me keep my items in between gamesWhat's the point of playing then?
>>744665492>What am I in for?20 minute queue times just so you can get instakilled by a guy with infrared scope on a sniper
>>744689987>leagueliteral trash games for dumb zoomers>cs2counter strike never had progression
>>744690049"League is trash"Yes, doesn't invalididate the point though, a wipe is just an extended self contained game. Furthermore people play games to have fun, not to stack a million pieces of trash in their inventory."Never had progression" What do you call the money you earn then?
>>744690045"Infrared sniper" Havent been in the game for 2 months."20 minutes queue"Its 3 mins at most
>>744690340>What do you call the money you earn then?money that you spend in the current matchyou don't have any kind of progressionold fps games were like this and they were fineif you put seasons/levels/battle pass etc but you wipe it, that's fucking retarded
>>744665492>Just done with the exams I want a multiplayer shooter that's deeper and more punishing than your average die and respawn cawadootyThen just play Tarkov. Not the bootlegged Tarkov.
>>744665492I like Marathon, but nerfing the knife, the one and only equalizer that kept purple shield fags humble, was the beginning of the end for the meta.
>>744679095they changed the matchmaking so it'll just throw you into a match with one other team if you've been waiting for 5 minutes
>>744666042I would agree with will this. 250-ish hours on it When it works it works well, but luck is a huge factor both in terms of equipment and engagement with other players. Its very hard and skill is absolutely a factor but even when you're good and do everything right in theory you can fail A LOT to the point where its demoralizing and most people quit because of it. Highly advisable to play with close friends and think of it as an impossible challenge that cannot really ever be solved. Long story short its a very weird experimental interpretation of an extraction game that is very inconsistent but very cool when it works.
>>744690789I also think the game was better when the knife was the ultimate balancer. I can see the conundrum with trying to balance a game with this many complexities and modifiers in play but I always feel like the solution is to buff other things rather than nerf what already works well.
>>74469078985 Melee Damage(90+ if you're paranoid about running into Triage players) + Left click combo + Beat the shit out of your crouch bind in between swings
>>744665492a game made to be as tedious frustrating and dull as possiblealso you can't play without a discord trio and the content is mediocre
>>744690559Nigga it's called progression, you progress throughout the match by getting stronger from winning, the same way that in mtg you progress by developing your board and hand, it's the same thing in games with wipes but instead of happening in one sitting it happens over the course of a season, like a long DnD campaign. Complaining about wipes is literally like complaining that you can't keep your hard earned AWP in between matches.Like asking "why does deadlock have levels if you cant keep them after the game ends?"And battle passes dont get wiped, you keep whatever you unlocked.
>>744665492solo queue feels like a extraction shooter. I really like doing quest in solo. Night marsh sometimes a real horror game.trio is battle royale. You speedrush the other teams and kill em or get smoked, bretty fun if you have a decent team
