They're unlocking all cut content from Destiny 2 and talking about how "they have to do better" with Marathonhttps://www.bungie.net/7/en/News/Article/nextchapterofbungie
As we move forward, we'll measure ourselves against a few core commitments:>Build a stronger long-term future for Destiny, while honoring and restoring its past.>Evolve Marathon to grow our community and build a sustainable future.>Increase transparency around development priorities.>Communicate more consistently, especially when plans change.And if you believe that, I've got a bridge to sell you
We must be better devs
A studio that can't make a fun video game has a press release. Thinking about doing nothing in response.
>>748166925Good luck with that.
>>748167051Yeah this is an abusive ex saying "I promise I'll treat you right this time, please take me back"Fuck you, I've moved on
>>748166632Remember that this is a calculated move on their part to screw you over again later. Bungie's baldman in chief explained it here https://youtu.be/ZLbvMWEAoyY?t=1449Right now player trust is at an all-time low and everyone hates Bungie so they will pretend to listen, make a few good updates giving players what they want then shift gears again to get people into the hamsterwheel grindset first and milking them for cash secondIf you fall for this you are mindless cattle
>>748166632>We have to be better blasthavers
Don't mind me, just taking a piss >>748165248
>hello this is us, the corporation. our product has not given us enough money, so we'll give you some vague promises that we won't keep, in hopes that this will make us look better. please consume our product.yeah nahhonestly at this point i'm pretty much anti-consumerist.
BLAST FROM MY ASST
>>748167615I hate this art because they gave recon a fat ass which I like but its scat shit
>>748167615Why are they on bags?.
>>748166632It's too late for them to be Better Men.
literally all of this could've been avoided if they didn't put luke smith in charge of the game>yeah lets make the gunplay sandbox worse by forcing double primary>yeah lets just delete half the fucking game
Why is /v/ obsessed with Bungie? Don't tell me you actually played Destiny 1-2 and liked live service games? /v/ was supposed to be totally anti-live service. YOU FELL FOR THE HORSE ARMOR, /v/. You betrayed your principles.
>>748166632We have to be better marathoners
>>748166829>Evolve Marathon to grow our community and build a sustainable future.>build a sustainable future.But marathon tards, werent the game a popping success? making millions every season! why is bungie saying they have to make marathon sustainable.
>>748168265IMO, I think it's because they realize the whole "1 MILLION PLAYERS ON LAUNCH" delusion AAA studios have is totally fucking unrealistic/unsustainable, that game design is more complex than it appears, and that they may just have to organically build up their playerbase by improving the base game according to trial, error, feedback, etc.
>>748167920Unstable biomass. In-game it looks like poop. Thing is, you can trade that biomass to NuCal for pathc kits and shield kits, and its a very good trade value-wise.>biotech agri company processes poop into fertiliser to grow more food and make more pharmaceuticalsAnd then there is sparkleaf and tarax.
>>748168265Destiny seemingly wasn't sustainable either and can only hope to profit by having a skeleton crew drag a few files back kek
>>748168265Game is bad. Its a battle royale infested with cheaters. Extraction mechanic is just there. They should've canned that mid-season 1 and released season 2 as a pure pve solo/co-op. Instead they managed to tank numbers even lower by doing stupid shit like experimenting and removing sponsored survival and introducing Vault Breaker - a roguelite thats only good for getting dervishes for cheaters and learnining Cryo because Bungie cannot into level design.
Read this X thread and laugh at grown men crying because of this shitty statement. Fucking kek bungiefags are on another level of cucked faggotry.https://x.com/paultassi/status/2102067568588542081
>>748168570Wrong, Destiny 2 was sustainable. Just went in decline with its latest expansions.The final patch showed d2 can still be sustainable (peaked at 1m daily players with final patch) and was top seller #1-10on steam for over a month. Meanwhile marathon dropped off the charts to like bumfuck #200-400 lmao.
>>748168982but D2 after TFS wasn't sustainableif you're spending $800mil a year on the game, and making back $1-1.2bil each time, sure its sustainableuntil 40% of the playerbase just fucking leaves because the story ended and now you're in the red with something that you can't really reduce costs on because the game's engine is so old and archaic at this point, because you didn't move to a D3 with a new engine ages ago
>>748168798>honestly choking upi can't imagine feeling like this about a fucking corporate product. what drives people to this behaviour?
>>748168798Holy pathetic manchildren, Batman
Give us a campaign.
>>748168168in my time bait used to be hard to notice
>>748168798the destiny community is revolting.
>DESTINY IS FOUNDATIONAL TO OUR FUTUREMaratroons unironically in shambles, what a fucking joke
>>748168483I also don't care to mock bungie for attempting to establish themselves using marathon, because I genuinely like the aesthetic and many of the design choices they made. You can respect the effort to pick up where they left off, post-launch. You just have to adjust for what your real audience is versus your projected audience.
>>748170197>secondary game actually gets treated as a secondary game>Destinyfags keep getting milked with literal removed contentI'm sure they are in shambles
>>748170479all 800 of the "extremely committed" fan base
>>748170883...but enough about destiny!
>>748171674are you okay anon? being unable to accept reality is a sign of profound mental illnessthe official bungie API confirms over 250k cumulative players in the past 24 hours that have actually played an activity, and approximately 30k concurrent over the past hour. Verifiable, official information directly from Bungie
>>748168265No. I personally liked the game well enough, but it needs a lot of work.
Wardogs exist. You literally loot an upgraded kit in a warzone. Destiny and Marathon are replaced.
>>748166632>Poria TorkanSAAR, they really became Microsoft
>>748172828He's a plant that used to work at Guerilla. Probably a friend of Hulst's.
>>748166632>We need to be better....working menPowerful.BraveStunning.
>>748168168Twitter Indians farming (you)s.
>>748175391>45 memberslol, kiwi and sharty mog
>>748166632...didn't they literally delete all of that? like deleted it so hard they couldn't even prove ownership in a court case? how the fuck can they "unvault" deleted code?
>>748176379it's called lying
I got Destiny for free recently, is it worth playing solo?
>>748176531Both games are alright solo, though the story being ripped to pieces due to all the removed content (and some legal thing that apparently caused the game's main plot to get sidelined? I don't know much about it, something about the big Traveler sphere getting caught up in some legal mess, causing it to get its story relevance toned way down, I guess? Don't quote me on it.) makes it a bit harder to enjoy properly.
>>748175391i'm retarded. need further ellaboration on this
>>748166632That's great but im not coming back to d2, should never have vaulted my content that I never touched after its initial releasemaybe ill check out d3 if it ever actually happens and I dont give a shit about marathonI just dont have time to commit to a game like destiny anymore
>>748166632>no Marathon free2playWho fucking cares.
>>748168168I just like Marathon. But I hate Bungie for making Marathon just good enough for me to miss it if it were to die, but not good enough for it to survive.
>>748170197Nah, I recognize that Bungie can't live off of Marathon alone. They can do whatever they want with Destiny as long as I get more Marathon.
I've been saying Destiny fags are the same as WoWfags for years

Can you smell that? That’s the smell of Marathon’s long future penetrating your butthole of doomsaying.
>>748178962jej someone please make this into a real /v/ song
>>748178962>She loves to flop till I can't log in>Gee, my Wokeyflop is greatcrying with laughter, rare quality songpost
>>748179134Many blasts were had
>>748167051
>>748168693I'm really enjoying it but the amount of cheaters is unacceptable for a game with kernel anticheat, no idea how people pull it off but it's really annoying running into a gold shield vandal that wipes your whole team in 10 seconds
>>748177213>>748175391
>>748180735They pull it off because its BattlEye - a system that has been abused to the point where it is not an anti-cheat. And MArathon apparently is just an upgraded D2, so same vulnerabilities exist as in D2, and because of that, cheats were available as soon as the game released. It was fine during server slam, but after release it all went to hell.And the thing is, its not that hard to estimate who is cheating. LIke, if its a steam account with not even 1 year of service, lvl 0 or 1, with just one or few games... like, its blatantly obvious its a cheater. Yet Bungie doesnt even bother doing anything about it.
>>748166632>Spend a decade working on nothing but Destiny: a neutered Halo clone for gambling addicts and no PvP to speak of>”Let’s invest hundreds of millions to make a game that will live or die based solely on the quality of its PvP gameplay”Genuinely what did they expect?
>>748180735Oh, forgot to add. Cheaters LOVE BRRT smg, Dervish or battle pistol. Its always a high likelyhood that if you hear burst fire, you have a cheater to deal with. Aim bot with burst fire guns is game breaking. So are LMGs with shields, especially Conquest (the spin-up one).And its not just cheaters who get aim bot - console players and controller users too. Hardcore game my ass.
>>748181162They made Marathon to compete with 3 game types: extraction shooters, battle royales, and hero shooters. Guess how well that went. And now they want to squeeze in 4th type - roguelite, but as a PvE supplement.
>>748166632>known for years that new players don't want to start destiny 2 because of all the vaulted content>game slowly dies>mass layoffs, stop development on the game>now decide to bring back vaulted contentAre they retarded?
>>748181459New players don't want to start Destiny because it has one of the worst new player experiences in gaming. You have no idea what the fuck is going on, where to go, what to do, how to make a build, or anything else. It's always been a problem with Destiny.
>>748181459No. Just proud. Like a certain tranny they all worship
>>748166632>kill their player base by removing content>game is dying faster than paul walker>"look guys, we brought everything back"Too late. Removing content people paid for is the biggest 'fuck you' to the customer. I hope Bungie goes bankrupt and they all lose their jobs.
>D2 announcement>both games jump in sales and ccuMarabros... trust the process
>we're unvaulting old expansionsWith who, exactly? the developers Bungie is subleasing their billion dollar studio to?
>>748181680They have 400 people, I'm sure they can find someone to do it.
>>748170438it would be really embarrassing if you posted this for free
>>748172069But why? What could possibly differentiate it to any other gun game?
>>748167615wtf is the appeal of scat? this is fucking vile
>>748181014so basically just indians astroturfing to try and make marathon look bad? not that I'm surprised in the slightest
>>748181778I haven't played many other gun game, so I can't tell. It's my first extraction shooter because it's the only one that managed to attract me. My previous multiplayer shooter is Helldivers 2, and Deep Rock Galactic before that.
>>748181824>it's Indian shitposters making Marathon look bad!No, it's closer to indians being flies on shit (their natural habitat) and trying to make a minuscule amount of profit by getting anons to unknowingly make content for them.Bungie did more damage to Marathon than anyone else ever could.
>>748182065OK, makes sense.
>>748181732the entire destiny team was laid off and they only were allowed to push an EOS update because sony let them work on it unpaid.
>>748181615>I hope Bungie goes bankrupt and they all lose their jobs.That would be the true ending
A furry porn game where you wash a dragon's testicles has more players than Marathon btw
>>748183040>hasESL or retarded?
>>748183335Anon...
>>748184291nta, but i know which game he is talking about and that one currently has 300 players (less than marathon)
>>748184403I think more people on steam are just disabling their steam from showing that they're playing jack off a dragon simulator game.
>>748184682should still count unless user is in offline mode for whatever fucking reason
>>748181639>bothThat's actually really fuckin' funny that even that isn't true. Some part of me thought that maybe Bungie would finally get some life, but the announcement didn't do jack shit.
>>748166632Things have gotten so desperate that they acknowledge "content vaulting" was a mistake and a lie. Studio shutdown must be imminent. I'd say just downsizing but they already got cut to the minimum LOL
>>748166632we got another payday situation on our hands eh boys
>>748183335Nigga, you're the ESL, "has" fits just fine there.
>retarded
>>748185816Higher than last week and it also went up like 500 spots in top-selling. "Jumped" might be an exaggeration but anon is technically right.
>>748168168Their practices are dogshit but they still make a game where it's really fun to kill shit. Guns and abilities feel good, sound good, and look good, and enemies are properly reactive enough to make killing them satisfying. It's just a shame about the writing and characters and microtransations and macrotransactions and terrible ui and removal of content and
>>748185816This shit will go free to play before the end of the year
>>748188132Fuck off shill bungie sucks and has for over a decade. The sooner you geriatric faggots stop worshipping pozzed washed up studios like bungie and blizzard the better
>>748188368Not like it matters, people didn't give two shits when it went free for that week+, it got a boost of players for like two days and then it went right back to being dead.
>>748189121Just objectively, like if I'm an executive or something, f2p with a predatory dlc model makes way more sense. Nobody wants to pay full price for the lame member of the herd. This game has no momentum in a highly competitive space. Honestly this is the same mistake they made with destiny 2, they have no fucking onboarding or easy entrance for new people so the numbers just go down and down and down. Bungie deserves to die at this point
>>748186009Bodied that English as a second language, speaking freak!
>>748166632>we're doing all this shit for destiny 2 that you've been asking despite it being a finished game now>and for marathon... uh... things are coming! trust us!humiliation ritual for marafagseven the dead game is getting more attention from bungo now
>>748178962fucking kek well done
This would've been pathetic even if they were fully staffed and still could make content at a reasonable pace, it's just grim now. Just fucking mercy kill them
>>748170110See, if marathon actually looked like THIS it would have stood a chance. But no, they had to make them all androgynous trannies to appease the woke crowd. Ugh....
>>748166632pathetic.
>>748166829They're playing Destiny, they'll believe anything.
>>748167218/thread... I should call her...
>>748169210>Hire 1200 Devs>Build a 20 gorillion dollar studio>Wow we are not making any money, this is Destinys fault
>take a shitload of sonybux to keep your staff>layoff a shitload of them anyways >buy expensive cars>games turn to shit>all the legacy devs who made the good shit are gone>you arent even a husky of the old company, just a discarded, empty candy wrapper with their brandingBungie is dead, the thing wearing its skin is just a C-suite.
>>748196104You have a point. But consider that even studios with exactly the same figureheads leading the charge dont guarantee reproducible success and this whole 'zombie studio is just an empty candy wrapper' (that Bungie absolutely is) argument really falls apart too. A game studio might instead be considered something like a house style, like going to a restaurant that has different cooks than the last time but the same menu.
>>748196104The people who did this have literally left studio. I'm surprised this hasn't had any major consequences, because it looks as if certain people who held the majority of Bungie's shares simply scammed Sony.
>>748181316during beta even mouse has controller tier assist to combat aimbot users and xim users, but the retarded "community" forced bungie to remove it
>gorillions people telling them this is bad idea>>feel like about to get closed down>OH MY GOD WE GET IT NOW>we must make game people want to play!!!Something tell me this is not acknowledgement from heart
>>748168168I played d2 because it was the only way I could hang out with a couple friends online, I ended up drifting away from them because I couldn't stand the game anymore and they wouldn't play anything else. I still browse these threads because all of the shitposting validates my thoughts on it
