>>751057503Pity (You) Award
>>751057503Best art yeah phantom blade should win best music
Its gonna win the humiliation ritual award
>>751057503It came out this year?
>>751057954yes, in march
>>751057503Best Blast award
>>751057503Art direction maybe but in a just world AC8 would win the other two
>>751057503>best soundtrackHopefully. I can't think of anything better this year.https://youtu.be/V0HvWOd7QtI
>>751057503>best soundtrack,thats gonna go GTA >best art direction a toss up between Zelda OOT, Tokon or some smaller title like Mouse or Romeo is a dead man>best sound design right?Forza Horizon 6. RE Requiem, Onimusha or again GTA 6Best you Marathonians can hope for is a pitty award like ''labour of love''
>>751059685Why would a game that licenses all their music win?
>>751059291
>>751057503I don't think people even know that this game exists anymore.
>>751061708GTA VI has a original soundtrack composed by Justice (one of the biggest electronic groups in history next to Daft Punk), every song they release from the soundtrack is topping the charts so yeah, the soundtrack award is basically in the bag
>>751063709Their only good track is Waters of Nazareth.
>>751057503Hopefully, I came in on a free weekend skeptical but unexpectedly had a blast. Very alpha Centauri coded
>>751061943We'll see who's laughing when it wins goty
it's so dead, it can't even get any replies in shitpost threads on /v/ anymore
>>751063867It's Tau Ceti, actually. About 3 times further away.
>>751063926Ugh I meant the game, dad
>>751057503aside from UI lag and latency issues, plus the "battle pass" shit that plagues every AAA mp shooter now, it is basically a perfect game. snappy gameplay, best gunplay Bungie has done, amazing art, sound, music and atmosphere, uncompromising level of difficulty. if it ends up being a disaster in final analysis, imo it comes down mostly to failed marketing. Which for a Sony game is entirely unsurprising. And also the fact that gaymerz want to always be the hero, win every match, etc., and can't stand how ruthless the game is
>>751064092I don't think that having a battle pass is an issue in Marathon since it's all cosmetics, anyway.>if it ends up being a disaster in final analysis, imo it comes down mostly to failed marketing.While the marketing was indeed bad, it actually comes down to having gameplay that people didn't want to stick with.
>>751057503it deserves praise for its visuals and scorn for its existence
>>751064182I just got into it recently and the loop seems fine to me, maybe was shit at launch? some of the contracts are dumb filler but they are just an excuse for more of that buttery gameplay. tho I will say I think solos and trios are almost two different games
>>751064092I don't care about the battle pass I just like seeing number go up
>>751064501Season 1's progression was way too slow. Season 2's progression was fucked from the start since people could farm gold equipment on day 1. Season 3 seems just right, but it has no new content, so I'm not playing it.>some of the contracts are dumb filler I like most of the contracts, but they have been the same since the launch, and I don't like them enough to do them again.
>>751064501It's literally just PvE Andy's who need every game to be a hugbox
>>751063709>Justice>Dad PunkWhat fuxking year is this??
>>751064623this is exactly what someone who's game was an unapproachable fucking nightmare would say, I think
>>751064826>unapproachable fucking nightmaresign me up nigga, I'm tired of approachable games that don't fuck
>>751064623what is insane about that is you can avoid PVP on almost all runs (at least in solo queue) by just not running around banging on pots and pans like a moron
>>751057503If the awards were not popularity contests it would also win GOTY
>>751064984This is a teamgame and should be played in premade triosSolo queue is boring and lame>>751063709>JusticeNormalfaggot slop for retards, perfectly fitting for the nigger crime life simulator game
I feel like any other year these sort of games steal best sound design because they are based around ambushes and dinner bells. Stuff like Hunt Showdown for example. So usually Marton would run away with best sound design.This year however i don't know. RE9's second half was dogshit but the sound design in the first half is stellar and Village in the Shade basically rides all its horror elements on that.I think its up there for best art direction because a lot of games this year can be summed up as "photo realism. please clap". but i still think theres a few things like Pragmata that could prove slightly more popular.
>>751057503it should get sound design, but their art direction is all over the place.>obligatory these retards STILL don’t know how to fix their game.
>>751065441solos make the game way more tense and stealth oriented. the fact that it works so seamlessly as a tense stealth game or a balls out action game shows how good the design is. soloing into trios or rooking is also quite fun and viable
One of the main issues with Marathon is the team focus. You either have to risk your gear with randoms or get your own people. I managed to do the latter thanks to a lucky match Vault Breaker, but it turned out that it's really annoying to try to line up the schedules of 3 working men to play a competitive video game. Doing this actually makes the game less fun. I don't like treating video games like an appointment. I wish Marathon was more solo focused.

I play and even enjoy Marathon but it shouldn't win either music or sound design. The music is mostly discordant beepboop stuff with a few actual pieces thrown in. It's expertly applied but it feels otherwise too barebones and one-note. The sound design at launch was FUCKING. BAD. I mean it was better to play with the sound off. Gunshots sounded the same whether they were going off on the other side of a POI or right next to you. The metal clanking of running around was caucaphonous and there was no directionality. It's been "fixed" but only just to the point that it's acceptable for a PvP shooter. There's very little occlusion, no ansiotropy, no phase effects, nothing. The environmental sounds are more beepboop stuff with pitch-shifted zap-digeridoo-fart effects thrown in a la DUNC. The player sounds give "gurgles" and "DLSR flash charging". There's very little in the way of integrating gameplay with sound, save for the different noises ultimates make and the very slight difference between gun sounds.
>>751065857this, and the overall formula.it’s a twist on an arena deathmatch formula, but it simply doesn’t work well with the larger extraction shooter systems.not to mention lore/narrative. the biggest draw of this game (besides the art direction) was the mystery and ideas of tactile exploration - flipping levers to open doors kind of thing. it’s practically nonexistent after clearing pinwheel once or twice.
>>751065441Anon a Justice song was used for Marathon's announcement advertisement.https://youtu.be/ckI_m8bbXfw?is=u_8KdaCAhS5V3NoN
Trash game with no players left to play it and hideous design. Don't know about sound and soundtrack, but I doubt. Barely anyone cares about these award anyway but good luck
>>751065702No, solos make the game shit, the gameplay is based on team dynamics, a third of the implants has effect on teammates or depending on teammates, a whole branch of cradle is dedicated to bonuses to reviving teammates>>751066723No, it was used to announce the Barrett's normalfaggot version of Marathon
>gaypex>winning an awardPick one
>>751065441>gameplay webm>the most boring dogshit gameplay everevery time
>>751070975Still posting clips of this shitter? How come marathon's biggest update is it going full pve with a separate pvp matchmaking tdm mode?
>>751066195Skill issue Maybe one day you'll get one Cryo Shift skin
>>751057503Insider here. Marathon will win the Gaylord award and complimentary dildos will be sent to the fans.
