What happened marababs?
>>747259801Waiting on season 3, which won't really move the needle. It's gonna feel like Warframe going in doing the PVE per stage, for sure.
Kino happened. And like all good kino it only appeals to the select few that are worthy. Sorry you are not part of that elite few, OP.
>>747259801BLAST BLAST BLAST BLAST BLAST BLAST BLAST BLAST BLAST BLAST BLAST BLAST BLAST BLAST BLAST BLAST BLAST BLAST BLAST BLAST
>>747259801Too sweaty, the people who play it treat it like a full-time job like this guy >>747260070
Lightning... In a freaking BOTTLE!!!
>>747259801Bungie gave up on the season 2 finale. Season 1's last weeks had an increased amount of events per run and a new enemy, which caused the player count to genuinely stabilize until the reset. This time, it's just some (admittedly great) Rook changes. The total radio silence about season 3 is also annoying.
>>747259801pack it up the comeback has been studied
>>747260212Based Nirvanna the Band the Movie enjoyer
>>747259801The engoodening will come inshallah
The aggressive and hostility-fueled shilling chased away anyone who'd be interested in this game to begin with. Basically bungie shills are terrible at their job, I'm sure an example will reveal itself in due time.
>>747259801!#%$ YOU, IT'S STABLE.
>>747259801>under 3k peakI don't even think they're even making enough to cover the day to day operational cost of everyone working on the game at this point.
>>747260920I personally deep dicked their discord for weeks shitting on the game. @ziegler where's my refund fagboy oh wait you quit JEJ
>>747261357I feel like there are better ways to spend one's time. Have you tried playing video games that you actually like?
>>747259801biggest flop in the history of flops
>>747261524Video games today are boring as shit. More fun to get bungie devs fired for their shittery
>>747261524have you tried hanging yourself tranny?
>>747261650No, that's still Concord.
>>747261747snoy only lost 400 million on concord, they lost 4 billion on maratroon, maratroon is 10 concords
>>747261650>Has a smaller population than a private server for a dead MMO
>>747261738Then I'm afraid it's terminal.
>>747259801Dads of Marathon status???
what the best creator shill vids glazing this on day 1? or have they all been scrubbed
>Even the fucking /vg/ thread died.Oh no no no.
it's uphttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1YIQL2DyQA
New Steam guide just dropped.https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3719508582
>>747261851>Sony could lose more on Bungie and marathon since it's still being funded, it could be more than 4 billion in losesThe sky the limit!
>ultra filtered water
>>747259801I thought there was a clique of discord troons keeping the game over 3k peak ccu, what happened to them? Don't tell me this is the best they coud do
>>747259801publishers still have grasped the fact that if you're gonna take 5 years to make a game, it's useless to chase current trends.
>everyone says the game looks like shit when it was first revealed >"Don't believe your lying eyes, chudiggaphobecel!" For months>It crashes and burnsWoooooow
>>747262297Bungie probably can’t afford to keep the bots going anymore.
>>747262110>or have they all been scrubbedWhy would any of them be deleted?Anyway, few people are still making Marathon videos.https://www.youtube.com/@SeraphMaxhttps://www.youtube.com/@MyelinGameshttps://www.youtube.com/@Skarrow9https://www.youtube.com/@jakethealright/videoshttps://www.youtube.com/@TheRealGhost509https://www.youtube.com/@OccurFPS
You fucking chuds killed Bungie by lying. Their last good game being released 16 years ago is irrelevant, you murderers.
I enjoy it. Has some unique vibes that hit the right spots for me.
>>747259801Hey 2k is pretty good, still enough to have a blast with other dads
>>747262840>Their last good gameBungie has never made a good game
>>747263120shut up, nigger
I wish you could enter asymmetrically into a server instead of being forced to use a rook, especially in solos.
>>747261958>nooo you cant shit on the worst dev team of the modern era noooLicky booty
>>747262141That's a good thing because they weren't even discussing the game, it was literally this thread b but a general.
>>747263306That was the original plan before bungie bungied
Gamers losing their shit because their favorite corporate logo (they have no idea what people actually work at the company or how it has changed) being bad or going under is always hilarious.
>>747262141It didnt even get moved to /vm/ thats how you know this shit is completely and totally dead
>>747262913>hit the right spots for melike your axewound?
The real sad thing about this is that CoD is gonna pick up all the extraction players with DMZ because it'll be really accessible and free.
>>747262246>ultra RAPED tranny
>>747259801The only thing raped is the amount of time you’ve spent ruminating over this game
>>747263545No I’m not American
>>747266156>>747266279
>>747266156
leftoid americucks will blame corpos or whatever but the game is full of ugly leftoid aesthetics
>>747261650Is it under 1k consistently now?I had this schizo theory that the bots would never allow it to go under 1k
bungie should have made a game that appeals to a wider audience lmao what were they thinking
>>747264290And then bungies failure will be complete. Imagine pivoting into a worse apex legends with maps a 4th of the size and then slapping an extraction mechanic on top like everyone whos ever seen a respawn beacon wont immediately ape it
>>747267181too busy buying cars haha
>>747267181They hard pivoted 3 times in development cause they kept firing their directors kek. The first dude was a sex pest and the other 2 were just kwabs >>747266947They literally (literally) stole art from a tranny and copypasted it all over
>>747259801It turned into a webfishing - a tranny asylum
>>747267621Faggots like this never build their own businesses. They always leech off of something other men built.
How many employees do you think have it running on the background 24/7 to fudge the numbers?
>>747268305Probably a thousand over in bangalore
>>747259801BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
Destiny and Marathon are soulless slop and nothing like Halo.
>>747259801We....We didn't study the comeback.
>>747266973It fell below 1k/900 for 3 days in a row when americans are asleep.
>>747270049The american flag doesn't surprise me, commiefornians gonna commie, but what is china doing there? I thought the japanese were the asians with shit tastes
>>747261747Bungie is responsible for Concord, so Bungie is in fact worse than Concord.
>>747270479like 60% of steam is chinese at this point, if a game has below 10% chinese players then they practically don't even know that it exists
Don't care. Still having a blast
>>747271229Keep at it, it won't last long
this game unironically dips into the three digits consistentlyabsolutely grim
>>747270049>other 47%WHO?!
If a sorcerer cast a curse upon chuds and they couldn't make negative posts or videos about Marathon, would the game have succeeded?
>>747259801They were raped.
>>747259801You know marathon is dying because even the threads about marathon dying are dying
>>747271272you really think they'll be in some despair after the game closes? It is literally on to the next game for anyone.
>>747259801When is this going free to play? Waiting for that myself, not worth paying for
>>747261851wait how is marathon a 4 bil loss
>>747259801Funniest part of this debacle is that these Snoy fags will at some point try to kill it as silently as possible, to aviod attracting further attention to this failure.... But because they were playing complete buffons for such a long time, the moment they try to terminate this shit every fucking shitposter on this planet will jump into meming and mocking them with glee rivaling the power of thousand suns.
>>747270691Bungie had nothing to do with Concord.
So what happens when this inevitably gets shut down?
>>747272487Bungie introduced Sony to Firewalk studios.
>>747272369That's how much their spend on acquiring Bungie, plus the cost of killing everything else it worked on (incl. Destiny) and redirecting all resources to Marathon
>>747272369>Buy Bungie for 4 bil>Bungie wont make more Halo or Destiny>Only proyect is Marathon>Lay off 800 ppl after release>Whoever is left can work on...
Game has less content than Duckov
>>747270479>but what is china doing there?At 7% percent? Fucking nothing. Especially for a multiplayer FPS game which they flock to.If you can't get Chinamen to play your game, despite them being the single biggest userbase under one flag on Steam, you're doing something queer.
>>747272705>>Lay off 800 ppl after releaseThat's actually a good thing. Bungie died long ago, ship of theseus and all that.
>>747272580Bungie gets shuttered and dissolved. Actual talent gets dispersed to other projects. The rest get culled.
>>747272487Ex Bungie devsBungie brought in specifically to advise on Sonys Live Service gamesBungie approved Concord
>>747259801I play on PC/Steam and literally every game I've played in the last two weeks has had at least one consolefaggot in itas much as I love this game I think it might be dead if S3 doesn't 10x their numbers
>>747275757isnt S3 releasing around the same time as arcs new patch? lmao who will want to stream marathon when embark is going to pay every streamer 100k to play their game?
>>747259801The fact sony hasn't shut this shit down makes Marathon the DSP of video games.
>>747275757Don't put down my consolebros like that. They play good support and don't spam the mic.
Friendly reminder that Steam is Marathon's largest playerbase as well. There is even less on Xbox and Playstation.
>>747276340not less, fewer.
>>747276137the playstation guys seem alright but FFS the Xbox guys are absolute faggots. I've had two instances where they run ahead and pop exfil without talking to anyone elseCARRI feels like they are desperate to fix some of the game theory issues that arise when the player population gets too low, specifically to keep new players from getting discourageddesu I'm going to restart on day 1 of S3 to see if they've fixed any of the issues I have with night marsh (lighting is super fucked in Algae Pond and Bio-Research, IMO)I'm really hoping they are secretly working on an ARM port so I can play on my Macbook and/or Switch 2. Not being able to play on my Steam Deck is real fucking annoying
>>747276823Xbox is unfortunately a lot of low iq brownies. My teammates are generally some form of papichico or yn420bludT. Apex legend DEMON
>>747272263They probably can't do it yet cause paypigs would leave. But it made me think of a marketing trick a company could pull. Give a possibility to earn game key by grinding. Then paypigs can gift it to friends and game grows.
>>747272263F2P would be suicidal because the game would be irrevocably poisoned by cheating. And even when Marathon did its two or three F2P weeks and weekends, the numbers had a tiny bump and then immediately dropped off. F2P didn't result in any real gains.
>>747272263It’s never going F2P. Bungie famously killed off pvp in destiny because that was literally the only free part of the game so they refused to update it or give it maps.
>>747259801They didn't make the game playable on linux so all the linux troons this game was marketed towards and I couldn't play.
>>747261260They aren't.
>>747279968a fatal mistake they must pay for in lost revenue and player count
>>747262141The destiny general is more pathetic because it is being kept alive by a pedo and another loser who do nothing but talk about marathon
i wonder why some of these games take off and some don'ti thought marathon was garbage and it failed as i expected, i tried arc raiders and though it was terrible and had similarly ugly designs as this game but it did wellarc raiders is a more competently made game but it's just as boring as marathon
>>747262151Watched part of this earlier, trash video that's a waste of time. Some many video game essays are of little substance
>>747260070>>747260183tarkov is sweaty, this came is casual city lmao
>>747280698Arc Raiders was a big success because the devs correctly realized that nobody except a small group of sweats actually enjoy high stakes PVP, and they switched the game to being very co op and PVE friendly. Marathon only barely tried doing PVE but well after it was too late to save anything.
>>747273126so the reason american media is as cancerous as it is is because they really do have fucking awful taste
>>747280947i won't disagree with the overall point, but tarkov has a higher 24 hour high than arc raiders, which is surprising as tarkov has been out for such a long time and the vast majority of its playerbase probably doesnt have the game on steam, so sweat games do have a market, marathon is just garbagehunt showdown also has a decent active playerbase though isn't as sweaty as tarkovthat said, arc raiders did have an impressive 500k all time peak (compared to tarkov's 50k, but tarkov never had the same kind of launch)
>>747275535That's kind of insane, Bungie has singlehandedly become the most losing video game company of all time. Sony might take actual tangible losses and be forced to make changes for the better because of them. What a time to be alive.
>>747281207The problem with the PVE players is that they're basically grazing animals you can only keep for a couple months to a year or two before they, being brainless animals, wander off to the newer patch of grass. Arc was able to capture them for about eight months, and that was more than enough time to make a ton of cash.
>>747281220>Sony might take tangible lossesThey already did two write downs and there's no way they ever break even on the $3.6 billion let alone make profit on it. The whole thing is going to be a net loss for them no matter how you slice it
>>747281331yeah true, i doubt the arc raiders studio is panicking like bungie lol
I want to know how the fuck modern Bungie was valued at 3.6 billion
>>747281834Pretty sure snoy slashed around 700 millions from that valuation. It probably won't take long until the remaining 2.6 billions get slashed as well
>>747281431Hell no they're not panicking. I don't remember what Embark spent on Arc, but I'm sure it was less than the $250,000,000 Bungie spent on Marathon
>>747281834Bungie was bought at their literal peak. Destiny was still making money and they had 6 games in the oven one that wasn't that far from being released. Had Sony waited 6 months or more they could have gotten a discount. Pete Parsons probably has Sony assassins looking to kill him
>>747261650lmao its already dipping below 1k, its over
>>747282220>$250,000,000 Bungie spent on Marathonlol thats insane, the maps and game overall feel so small and barebones, i felt like i saw everything the game had to offer after about 5 hours of the playtest/beta
>>747282497It got restarted a few times, I think
>>747280952Yes. All arguments to the contrary are made in shame and cope.
>>747259801>humiliation shooters
>>747272487>he doesnt know hahaha bungie are the reason helldivers 2 was a live service, why fairgames and horizion hunters got greenlit, why last of us multiplayer was scrapped, why concord got made. sony spent $3.6 billion dollerinos for "live service experts" to get everyone playing their live services for the next 10 years.only HD2 is still profitable and that was pure accident.
>>747283795>fairgamesdidn't that get cancelled?
dont forget what the chuds stole from us
>>747284709Unironically I probably would have tried Marathon if all the designs looked like that
>>747284181Nope. Renamed to "breakout"Horizon is also still releasing but has had its live service removed and staff laid off
>>747284709somehow the actual designs look worse than that lol
>>747284709i unironically kind of like this
>>747259801Has the comeback started? Is it being studied?
>>747280952Please don't be insinuating the East doesn't have it's own bullshit anon. That would make you a faggot.
>>747275535Lmao Sony should make them all commit seppuku on stream.Then Sony CEOs should do the same immediately after.Only way to restore their pride.
>>747259801FPS fatigue is real
>>747261650>multiple peak CCUs below 3k and non-maintenance lows below 1k (it's even reaching sub-900 now)I seriously don't see how this game limps into the new year. I'm pretty sure it's only lasting this long because they're letting Season 3 come out due to work/money having already gone into it. Then again, Bungie/Sony being so quiet about S3 despite it being less than two weeks away is already incredibly damning.
BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAST
>>747259801>saymyname not posting his shit webmsits truly over.
We still Blastin?
>>747291057I don't think anyone has scared more people off playing this game than him. Those webms were the most inane, unimpressive crap I've ever witnessed
>>747284709This is closer to how I picture a real Marathon game being. People being horrifically stranded in some megavessel for a hundred years.
>>747259801Was this game ever in any way actually fun?
>>747292394Yeah it's pretty good for a couple dozen hours.
>>747292570>a couple dozenthat's about a dozen and a couple too many
Sony just cut ties with Kojima to focus on Marathon HAHAHAHAHA CHUDS KEEP LOSING, SONY IS BETTING IT ALL ON MARATHON.
>>747261738Holy based
>>747292661we must regroup bros...
>>747260127my favorite GTA 3 song
>>747292661Where the fuck does this end lolWill SIE tank the entire company for Marathon?
obsessed.
>>747293317this guy actually liked marathon
>>747292661I can't believe this is real. Had to read it on twitter since i thought it was some dumb fake shit.
>>747271807Chuds razzed it because it was shit, it being mocked didn't somehow magically make it shit.
>>747271807I think it would have done better but it was never going to be a d2 tier money printer.

this game reminds me of den of wolves which is a game i am actually looking forward to

>>747259801Just you wait! Millions will play it very soon!I..its not a sprint.. its a marathon!
Marathon might well be the first game to ever mindrape people who've never even played it like this.Actually legit needs to be studied how bungie has sent everyone, both for and against the game, totally insane.
>>747302597No that only happened with peak games like sc blacklist
>>747280826>essayslmfao nigga what, it's just a video shitting on maratroon shills and their retarded cope talking points (like you)
>>747302714At your skill level/timezone its gotta be like 500 dudes max. No way you aren't seeing the same names allbthe time
>>747260920>hostility-fueled shillingwhy does everyone do this shit these days, it does not work
>>747260920what shilling? every thread I've ever seen about maratroon has been overwhelmingly negative.
>>747303301because their worldview hinges on it and they cant reflect upon themselves.
>>747303301karen behavior, they think that nagging is the be all end all of human communication
>>747302681>people throwing tomatoes at an obnoxious tranny flopslop>t-t-this means yy--y-you got mind-ACKkill yourself tranny kekymao
>>747302903The game doesn't guarantee opponents of the same level, even when the population was much higher that didn't happen. The matchmaking seems to be based on loot level with the exception of Ranked (which since it rotates for just one map and excludes Cryo, most players play much later into the season, meaning without a premade you can literally get true noobs against a premade of competent players).
>>747302217No, fuck that idiot Tahnit and fuck you too tranny, kys.
>>747302018he's still seething and having a bad time with the game
Sony needed to cut off Kojima so they can go all in on Marathon season 4, they contacted all the trans they laid off and asked em if they down for one last ride
>>747304278I act like I'm a psycho sperg but I would probably mellow out and let this fag get his subroutine outLet a rook get out with his gold shield the other day>>747304332Didn't Kojimbo hire a tranny for his next moviegame?
>>747304387getting mad about people killing others in a pvp game is retarded
>>747304387the shooting and movement looks greatshame about the extraction
>>747272705Be fair. Bungie had tons of projects they were working on. Marathon was just the best of those. wow
>no single playerIt’s like the devs never heard of halo
Bungie needs to do something with rezing. Annoying that dudes can just hold E for 5 seconds to raise a guy and it means you need to camp bodies or else their 3rd guy comes back, or the meta crew comes over with a mercy kit and you have to fight a 6-man all over again. All this shit loot that people ignore, make it a req for rezing. You're a robot, make it so you need 6 Unstable Diodes, 3 Biomass and 1 Fractal Circuit to rez a guy. Change it up by the map or randomize it so that the junk loot has a purpose. Make it scale by Cradle level so that there's a tradeoff between maxing out the Cradle and how likely your crew can rez you if you get killed. It also incentivizes crews to back off and circle back instead of slamming into each other. Makes sniping viable.>>747271714I'm in EEST and getting matched with dudes as far off as Sudan and Ireland. On one hand there's a quite diverse (heh!) bunch that play this. OTOH having to wait 4 minutes for a match just to lag out everywhere with people playing at 200+ ping, speaks a lot for how thin the playerbase it.
>>747278267Eve Online did this and it helped none
>>747260064>It's gonna feel like Warframedoes Marathon have engaging movement tech?
>>747305946Just shamelessly steal hunts system, becasue it's a good system, where you can burn bodies to confirm kills but it takes time and resources.Doesn't have to be 1:1 burning, could be some tech mumbojumbo like hungry worms or something.
