I'm ready to suck cock and blow penis please insert wet cock up my arse
We’re beating Veilguard soon, then Highguard next. Marathon fighting!
Escape will make me FROG
>>559467989Time to blast
>refund went through>time for bedgame simply wasn't for me, time for some comfy sleep
>The friend who put my group onto the game and got us all to try it out refunded it the moment they announced the seasonal wipes were mandatory and not optional like arc
>>559468043Sweet dreams anon
>no character personalization>no class tailoring>no decal editor >not an ooey-gooey co-op hugboxdoomed all along
Post some cool art from the vidya anons I really fuck with the concept art of this game
>Hack the terminal in Interchange, Bio-Research, or Complex.>Dick around for 20 minutes at both Intersection and Bio-Research with no fucking terminal ever showing up.>Die because bots can track you through walls/floors/etc and drawing the attention of a single bot draws the whole complex on you.Wow so fun when the game has zero respect for your time.
>>559468178if you read the quest it tells you the general part of the compound to go to/what floor its on ya know
>>559467896/mg/ friend listhttps://rentry.org/xrd3yt7mreply to this post with your>username>shell(s)>faction>region>VC? Y/Nand I'll add you to the list. Tomorrow, because I'm going to bed now goodnight
m-mommy
why do I get instantly blasted and people take an entire mag to die?do they just have better gear or am I doing something wrong
>>559468084Every 3 months seems like alot when even faction progress doesn't carry over. Why even bother looting at all?
i'm gonna CUM!!!!!!!
>>559468256If you read my post you would know I've thoroughly explored the compounds with no computer. Just looked up a guide and turns out the game is fucked and never gave me the quest objective. 10/10 coding.
I usually consider myself pretty bad at aiming and shooters but I have not died a single time yet, this might be my game
So let me get this straight:>the community is filled with "git gud" and sweaty retards>MTX are predatory>no character customization>no PVE only PVP and PVP ranked>new content is only released every 3 months>only 4 maps>bugs everywhere>is supposed to be an extraction shooter but plays like a battle royale>is filled with redditards>makes it obscenely difficult to interact with the environment>is just a loot and sell gameplay loop with no end goalWho is the target audience?
Camping extract
>>559468560me and my friends
all this off a free kit + 4 kills as a solo!
>>559468683>smokerfaggot
Finally played an hour or two. I've had two good fills and one with two retarded console players. I wish I didn't play so much of the slam because this is tedious as fuck redoing contracts without a group.
>>559468560Gitgud was always a massive cope, a well designed game doesnt need it to be said.The audience? Zoomerstreamers and their cult.
>>559468683>cigarettes gross
>YOUR VIRGINITY IS AT RISK.
>>559468084>>559468445seriously, arc 2 month OPTIONAL reset is like the best of everything>can choose to never reset>everyone resets at the same time every 2 months>2 months is the perfect amount of time to just fuck around without feeling like you invested a 1/4 of a year>also its optional and if you skip one, you still get the rewards from doing the wipe at a later time if you really want to>or just never wipe
>>559468712oops forgot pic
Man I'm really torn on this game.On one hand it exposed all the fucking peasants who said shit like "is it roblox?" "temu arc raiders" or simply ugly. This game is a fucking work of art, from visual style to audio design, all deliberately crafted to give that happy gaudy color exploding but absolutely ruthless sterile prefabricated corporate bullshit setting. It's intentionally divisive and aggressive in what it does and I applaud them for the boldness.On the other hand, all those years of work, all that money spend, all those top notch voice actors hired and this is what they got the show for it? 3 maps and a barebones story that will progress 3 months later? That's a mighty long edging session for 40 dollarydoos and for a Bungie game.So yeah, I'm conflicted bros.
>>559468441Idk it feels good, I melted an assasin with green shields with the heavy smg even though I didn't even have one full stack of shields. He was cloaked and didn't think I could see him while he was approaching me.
>squad doesn't say shit>we get squad wipedyou can always tell when you are just going to lose off the first 5 minutes
>>559468683>marlboro>dead or alive>stellar bladeThis image screams lonely faggot on such a level it's not even funny
Jamming?
>>559468941this dude's been posting his cabbage arms for the past 2 days screaming for attention anon, just leave him be
>optimize loadout and find game>takes 5-6 minutes>die in 3 minutesAmazing gameplay loop.5k players in 2 months.
>>559468861I guess it just comes down to how much you actually enjoy the gameplay loop.
>>559468894I either load into silence and die, or it's two chill dudes who sound like every milsim tuber and they are bros
>>559469010yeah the silent ones just seem like they are just going in random rooms ready to be surprised by a team
>>559468770>>559468784Smokes temporarily buff your reflexes by 50%, I only light one when I hear footsteps
>just lost another 3 free kit runs>have nothing in vault besides paltry few upgrade materialsTried solo, got killed all 3 times by people crouched in corners. Hope they enjoy the shitty volt rifle you get for free.I think I’m going to give up on this one. I’m just too bad at aiming. I can’t keep up at all.
>>559468997Play better?
>>559468861i think the marathon ship will be really cool
>>559469095love all the hidden pseudo rpg bullshit this game never explainsmaybe they should send us another in-game mail to explain it.
>>559468165I thought it was just an accepted fact that people love everything about Marathon but the game itself. Like they could have reskinned D1/D2 in terms of structure and everything else, and that would have been better received than an extraction shooter.
If there's one thing I despise, it's the fucking core and implant system for shells. Losing guns and shields and loot is whatever, but it's really REALLY hard to find good cores for a shell you like and some of them absolutely need it.
>>559468894>>559469010>>559469079I always play solo wtih randoms in this type of games, from what I've gathered over the years a lot of people cannot focus on the task and communicate at the same time. Especially for a game like this that floods you with stuff you have to decipher, they're just experiencing sensory overload. Please be patient with them.
>>559469117>Sniped by a Thermal scope by someone camping a window for the last 20 minutes.Heh nothing personal
>>559469186that's not in the game it's in that retards headsmoke doesn't do anything
MARATHON IS DEAD
>>559469308did you know agility makes you jump higher and move faster? i mean obviously but like, the game doesn't try to explain it
>>559469249I'm the one solo-queuing so I figure I don't have any right to complain. I'm not mad at them it's just more fun when teammates are good no duh
bros!?
>Set game to push to talk.>Game is still showing on the lower left as if it is registering everything I'm saying anyways.
>>559469436The first game was good but this baffles me for an early access release, it wasn't that good
So why are the runners doing this? Like, what’s the incentive to sign up to do this job? Are they all saving up to buy a sweet villa in the South of France? What’s the goal?
>>559469436Sony would release a Deck builder roguelike 6 years from now.Would cost 2 billions.
>>559469308>that's not in the game it's in that retards head>smoke doesn't do anythingFalse. Smoke deactivates Aim-assist. Doesn't matter when you camp, just shoot when someone goes past the smoke.
>>559469556they're bad at everything else
>>559469554It's a phone game
>>559469556you become functionally immortal and i imagine life on earth is hell and they are victims of marketing by these mega corps that essentially harvest their souls
>>559469554Its literally just the first game again with more stuff. The fact thats beating your shitty games as a service game is insane.Sony and Bungie are getting clowned on by a dev team of ten people
>>559469556I doubt most if any of the runners or their "consciousness" ended up in this position by choice or at least not without heavy leverage
>>559469554really? STS is rated as one of the greatest roguelikes of all time this is not surprising at all
>>559469715>Sony and Bungie are getting clowned on by a dev team of ten peopleNobody cares retard, I don't care who makes more money as long as there's good games out there
>>559469715Do I get any reward for playing the game that “wins” this competition? Because if so, I’ll just go play Counter Strike or Fortnite.
>>559469861The reward is watching Bungie die
>>559469789>really? STS is rated as one of the greatest roguelikes of all time this is not surprising at all
>>559469715kek instant seething replies
>>559469715>completely different genreYeah cool
I'm not buying a fucking game with sub-200k players. 80k means the majority of those are assholes and not people who are fun to play with
level? stash value?
>>559469920?? i dont even like the game but if you look up any list it is always like top 3 roguelikes
>>559469556>So why are the runners doing this? Like, what’s the incentive to sign up to do this job?The corpos who "sponsor" the runners, want to do enough damage to UESC(or whatever the faggot robot company is). Because Faggot Robot company is trying to obtain the power of the Anomaly(Mutant Barrier) on Tau Ceti.The Anomaly Barrier fucked up the planet, caused rapid mutation. It appeared before any invasion. Nobody knows who activated the barrier. Everyone thinks the Anomaly is technology from Alien gods.Every company wants to control that barrier, to become Gods. Every runner probably knows this, and wants to become God himself, and escape endless slavery.
>run around for 10 minutes doing contracts and avoiding bots>get killed in literally two seconds from behind at full health/shields by the most unemployed person to grace the planet holy shit they weren't kidding, I thought they were exaggerating, this genre of game is the fucking worst lmao
>>559469436We will SURELY surpass Veilguard today, right bros?
>>559469956You don't want to bring in the same genre game, which is also doing twice as good as Marathon
>>559469965BUY THE GAME YOU HECKIN CHUDIF YOU WANT THERE TO BE A DESTINY 3 AS BUNGIE'S REAL GOOD GAME, YOU NEED TO LOCK IN AND BUY IT AND CONVINCE OTHERS ITS A GOOD GAME. EVEN IF YOU HAVE TO LIE TO THEM
THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH SKINS FOR THE FUCKING BULLY!!!! I WANT A COOLER BULLY SKIN PLEASE!!!!
>>559469898Pretty shitty reward. I don’t care about companies in that way.
The real way you can tell if the game will survive or not is the amount of R34/fan art the releases with it. If there isn't any it means the casual audience doesn't exist.
>>559470094I'll keep waiting for the real Looter Shooter with based Extraction gameplay. The Division 3.
>>559470164The fact that we're getting a Div 3 before Destiny 3 is still crazy.
>>559470158People are currently busy modding Grace from RE9
>>559470009>The anomalyIs that the thing from the cinematic trailer that caused that one guy to levitate and explode? Seems interesting. I assume it has something to do with the Jjaro
>Couldn't even beat Highguard
ASSPISSING ON TAU CETI IV
for me? it's blackbirdthe best girl in this game
>>559470057I don't care about Arc RaidersIt's ugly
>>559470009I read a little bit of the marathon lore but do all the corporations already know what happened to the colony at this point? Cause it seems like a lot of them are trying to figure out the “mystery” but they should know it was the phfor at this point in time I think
Why isn't the game f2p?
the game is fire
>no rook skinsfuck bungie
>>559470012I just killed a player earlier trying to camp as Recon. They were crouched up on a catwalk and gave their position away using the echo pulse ability. I just waited it out, used my grappling hook to get on the roof, and shoot them in the back.Killing them wasn't even enjoyable because they died so quickly. Also dying feels fucking terrible in this game because you're stuck on the ground for 5 seconds before the game finally registers your inputs and lets you quit.
>>559470307i thought she was kinda weak but then i got pushed by one ulting and her little spider fucked me
>>559470240>the thing from the cinematic trailer that caused that one guy to levitate and explode?Yes. Everyone wants to figure out how to use it. Companies think it's the Jarro alien God tech.They also believe that the Super AI(Dandadan or whatever the fuck his name is) activated it.Super AI bot feared that this "universe" will collapse. He(AI) wanted to escape death, become God.He(AI) dissapeared, and the Anomaly Barrier showed up, fucking the whole planet in the ass.
So....extraction shooter huh?
>>559470345make some money
>>559470302In Marathon's defense Highguard was free.>>559470439I've said time and time again that Bungie dropped the ball HARD by not giving people who bought the special edition a copy of the OG Rook skin featured in the statue.
Anyone posting steam charts is presumed brown until proven white
>>559468997in tarkov you would take 5 minutes to find and load into a match and another 2 minutes to load back out
not a fan of the limited use super slow manual health/shield regenI was hoping it would feel more like d2 crucible but taking a single hit leaves you vulnerable for like 20 seconds
>>559470665Its been downhill for Bungie for years
>>559470332>but do all the corporations already know what happened to the colony at this point?The Anomaly Barrier happened, before any invasion. The thing just appeared, sticking out of ground. After the Super Ai(Dandan or something is his name) dissapeared.Super AI computer disappears, Giga God Barrier appears.Now the UESC shoots anyone who tries to get close to the Barrier. UESC wants to control it's power.
>>559470736>super slow healing/shield regen>extremely fast TTKThis doesn't make sense.
I'm assuming the solo mode population is 99% the invis guy?
>>559470746i'd say god help them but that would entail perpetuating their squalor and indignity
>>559470791>>super slow healing/shield regen>>extremely fast TTK>This doesn't make sense.Yes it does. You have to be good at killing people, before they have a chance to fight back. No gunfights, just good ambushes.
>>559470345See how many fools will pay $40 dollars for it first
>>559469814>Nobody cares retard, I don't care who makes more money as long as there's good games out thereyou better care when this game gets sunsetted a year from now because 30k CCU wont be enough to cover the 5 billion blackhole that is bungie
>>559470761Yeah but the invasion happened before he left that’s how he was able to get their ship to leave unless I’m missing something
>>559470868>dev famed for making good gunplay>design game around having as limited amount of gunplay as possible
>>559470824been playing all day today and no, i think its reasonably balanced rn desu, ive been maining thief and she is very good for it bc her drone can scout enemies and grapple can get you on roofs for flanks, havent seen too many voids
>>559467896Why is she so cute and sexy
>>559470868So the game is pointless?
>>559470916six gorillion goyon the real though probably not far off bearing contemporary inflation in mind
Should I drink ten gallons of whale semen or buy marathon?
>>559470332It doesn’t matter what you read because the writers said they’re doing a reimagining, a transsexual fan fiction. They’re probably gonna butcher whatever part of the original stuff you thought was cool anyway if it’s not retconned completely.
>>559470972>>dev famed for making good gunplay>>design game around having as limited amount of gunplay as possibleDev made something NEW, something not like the devs previous games.Old good new bad huh xD))
>>559471105That’s kinda what I was trying to figure out lol well good to know
>faggot ass thief off in a corner somewhere with their tiny hitbox drone stealing my shit, aggroing the bots, and then leading them directly to me This game is fucking insufferable oh my god
>>559470332Apparently the UESC kept most of Durandal's message secret
THIS SHIT IS GENUINE MALWAREIT JUST CRASHED MY PS5
so where des the colony ingame come from? wasnt the colony glassed by the phor between 1 and 2?
>>559470537I hope the game continues to lean into this horror element. Marathon lore is filled with crazy shit like this. Let’s see what Durandal is up to this time around.
>>559471138>Old good new bad huhyes
>>559471138>>559470553
>>559470962>Yeah but the invasion happened before he leftHe was fucking with something that made crops fail and people sick, before he left, before the invasion.That's how I remember it. Then the whole barrier was located, which is a unique point on the planet. So the technology that ended up "releasing the barrier" was tinkered with before he left. The barrier itself is a side effect of the Super AI doing something with an alien god device.
>>559471246no the colony was running for like 20 years before the phor attacked
>>559471301by that logic all of us should be playing clash of clans or some mobile shitare you well my man?
>>559471173I promise you can take my word but you can find think the big narrative announcement or something on YouTube and they open by saying as much. I don’t think anyone even interested in the game really saw that though because I see so many people spinning their wheels on different forums trying to figure out how it fits in to the original plot when the writers didn’t think about it at all lmao
>>559471192I was actually trying to be clever with a quest earlier where it asked you to defeat the UESC commander and take their documents. I tried to steal them off him using Thief but sure enough the item is hard-locked to only drop when you kill him.Super lame.
>>559468854What's that cube
>>559471389>punish ingenuity >promote toxicityOh wow Bungie really did make this game
How long do we think its going to take for it to hit $10? or go full F2PI'd buy it at that price.
>>559471027>So the game is pointless?No. Because you can win or fail.PvE games are pointless, you don't lose to other players. >>559470553
>squad rolls up on another as they are leaving overflow>we simply aim and just practically one tap themman the fights are over in a matter of seconds.
halo's ttk being a fucking hour long at least allowed most encounters to be quite dynamic and laden with time to respond and mix things up shield regeneration allowed them to go on in potential perpetuity besides and what's that really other than the enduring heart of the game being played?blunder, bungle, slow-motion disaster playing out before usnever lose yourselves bros
Why the fuck is the healing so slow when the TTK is so fast? This game feels like the PvP was never tested.
>>559470465yeah killing people isn't enjoyable. the amount of times i'm surprised im killing someone just with a bully freekit like wow? thats it?and sometimes these people have blue shields and are dying at a drop.i have been screaming about making the ttk higher i dont know how this is acceptable to anyone.
>>559471553My second to last match consisted of:>Spawn in.>Take 20 seconds to grab two items and leave the spawn house.>Get shot in the back and die 10 meters from the door.Like, why in in the fuck would they spawn people that close together?
Halo’s TTK is not that slow. It doesn’t take very long to shoot your BR 4 times.
>>559471246the wording was 'sacked' and also nobody knows what timeline we're on
>>559471361How is Arc Raiders, a direct extraction shooter competitor, similar to clash of clans, and not marathon?
>>559471608Because the TTK was lower. They changed it but didn't bother to balance the entire rest of the game around it.
MARATHON AND BUNGIEBROKENRAPEDBY ME
>>559470972monkeys paw>gunplay good>people die too fast anywayits like shooting paper with airsoft guns
>>559471732low ttk = fast ttk you fucking retard
>>559471502Literal redditnigger mentality.>Buy game so I can take a photo of it for epic karma>Don't actually play game but instead keep uploading my epic gallery of hand shots to own the haters.
Losing in PvE doesn't matter, your opponent is AI. It's either stupid enough to abuse and complete the match, or too perfect. You just grind and still "beat" hard AI.Losing in Marathon matters, and winning is fun. Because the shell has a human soul and mind. You have to impose your will on someone else's soul so many times, that you become God of souls, and the universe.
>>559471718I've posted this before but I don't really consider them competitors. Arc is a lot more PVE focused and the intent is for you to kill the Arc. PVP is just for flavour.Marathon is more a competitor to the likes of Tarkov and Hunt Showdown where PVP is mandatory and nearly the whole focus.
Even /ourguy/ is losing faith... it's over
>>559471502>PvE games are pointless, you don't lose to other players.In a Marathon PvE game you: complete missions objectives, search for loot, don't die to npc enemies or environment and use the weapons to surviveIn a PvP Marathon you barely play the game and instantly kill an enemy to grab the loot they dropped with (worthless kits) or the loot they only got from...the PvE environment....lmaoCan't even have a run and gun skirmish or race to the exfiltrator or steal from an enemy....you just...kill them and end their game and most people do it before they even fucking find any loot LOL that's so fucking worthless
>>559471896>>Don't actually play game
>>559471918>level 1>stellar dogshit>smokes>carries cashlmao okay unc go back to talking about how games never evolved beyond unreal tournament
>>559471650It feels inconsistent too. Shoot one person and they die instantly. Shoot another and they can eat a whole magazine for seemingly no reason. I am 99% sure Triage's heals are broken and give overheals. He also shouldn't be able to use his healing ability on himself.
>>559471953Tassi is everything I hate about current day video games but for some reason I just bring myself to dislike the guy, I think it’s because he’s at least somewhat self aware that he’s a lib shill
I just wish I knew what every random jackass on reddit and twitter was thinking. That’s my primary concern these days.
>>559472064Maybe there's some really bad hit detection or desync people haven't figured out yet.
>>559471918There’s a poster in the cod general that buys every call of duty skin and maintains unreasonably long fingernails, I bet you two would be friends
me hoarding backpacks and shields while selling everything else as i freekit all the contracts
>>559472042I think part of the problem is that none of the exfils have cover. It makes them so easily campable because you have to effectively stand in the open for 10 seconds.
Maybe Quake Champions is more your speed guys.
>camp tick building>kill the same guy two games in a rowwhat are the odds lmaomade him uninstall i bet
>>559472147le toxic positivity faeclightning blasting inside of a bottle in an epic return to form and all that
>>559472175>There’s a poster in the cod general that buys every call of duty skinIs he athletic too? Would be funny if it's the same person.
>>559472064so many guns to use but they all just feel like they kill the sameyou got the killing power of>you die super fast>you die slightly slower than super fast
>>559472170I'm sure there's also some hidden information we don't know. Like there's multiple references to each Shell having different stats but the different stats are not listed anywhere I can find.Also wasn't there talk from the devs about building the shells in a way they can play similarly to other ones? Look like that was thrown in the trash so we're back to being a flat hero shooter.
is there any reason not to just insta kys after you're downed solo? you cant fight back right?
>>559472416Unless you have a self-revive or in a position where you can be really really petty and deny someone your gear by hiding
>>559472292Idk he just posts pictures of his screen buying cod bundles with his cat and ghoulish fingernails he says he needs to scratch his cat better. I haven’t been around there in a while now but that guy always made me laugh
>>559472374>Bungie is so lazy Shell's still have remnants of the Destiny's Secondary stats from that game.>Some Shells have 0 Armor while others have 10.I could see it.
did they fix the deluxe edition silk bug and rewards voucher duping yet
>>559472195>you have to effectively stand in the open for 10 seconds.No, you should let someone else go first, or jump in with 0.5 seconds left.You know you can stay like 25M away after activating it. You're not a shitter, are you?
>>559471671git gud
>>559471470stabilized anomaly, seems bugged rn bc its a pain in the ass to get, but it gave me 40 credits lol
yooo but the vibe shift though
>>559471924So because you don't consider extraction shooters as competitors with each other, you think Arc Raiders is like Clash of Clans?
>>559472416i like to move my body towards bots to make it harder for them to loot it
>>559472459>but that guy always made me laughSmall world huh. Huueeheheheh heeheheeh
I can't believe there is going to be a Marathon tournament this weekend
>>559472510I think they fixed the silk bug/exploit but the voucher duping might still be happening since I have one in my vault.
>>559472195That's what the bubble shield is for
So why would I ever pick Rook when the free packages exist? And when you can't do contracts with him or customize him at all? If I'm jonesing so hard for some loot why wouldn't I just slap a free package on a real shell so I'll at least have A GUN and possibly do a contract in the process?
>>559472042>ruins the game for other players by waiting around and not playing the gamelol who is going to keep this game alive? certainly not you.
>>559472730???
>>559472730no way. see. its like they designed an esports hero shooter, then halfway decided>oh shit lets make it an extraction game. haha look at all the twitch viewers for tarkov!then they added persistent loot and an inventory and didnt even bother changing the maps.
>>559472806It's comfy
Bwos...I'm getting assfisted
>>559472743so if you lose the voucher you just get a new one when you log in again?
>>559472883>>559472884Bungie has announced the Tau Ceti Cup, a competitive Twitch event set to take place on Saturday, March 14, 2026, pitting teams of content creators against each other in Marathon.https://www.polygon.com/marathon-twitch-drops-rewards-list-how-to-get/very bottom of the article. control+f march 14
>>559472806There are upgrades for Rook in each faction tree. Also he drops in against teams so he can loot more and he starts with a bigger backpack.
>>559472952I guess? I can't do anything with it but sell it for 0 credits but idk if that will like, brick my account so I'm not touching it lmao
>>559472961LMFAO
>>559472884I literally think they had the “Escape will make me God” line in their minds and then thought, “Wait a minute…”
>>559472884An esports hero shooter would have waaaaayyyyy smaller maps.
>>559472806Rook only spawns into games in progress. He has a distinct advantage for scavenging.
>>559472820>lol who is going to keep this game alive?I do not care. I just want to ruin it for people, while the game is fresh.What happens later, not my problem.
problem with these games is i never really feel like i'm having actual fun because its got some skinnerbox formula of chores to do that gives you this veil of "growing stronger" or "improving" when its just shit like >you can buy this item from the shop now!and it doesn't really feel like i'm gettin good at anything in this game. i'm just roaming with 2 randoms and going by happen chance we come across people. this whole positioning thing is pretty much dependent on who are you going to catch with their pants down while they are doing their skinnerbox bullshit?
>>559473169it's an extraction shooter nigga what did you expect
>Slay the Spire 2 is at 250k now>Marathon still hasn't cracked 90k playersuhhh
>>559472961It's just free advertising because it's corporate whore streamfags participating
>>559473169>who are you going to catch with their pants down while they are doing their skinnerbox bullshit?Not me. The only quest I did is to unlock the backpack.I don't do quests at all. Just camp close to extract.No (((missions))), just other shells and their footsteps.
>>559473246its missing a lot of extraction shooter staples because it's just way too easy to be doing a lot of the things like aiming and killing someone should require a bit more to it
Vandal/Glitch in cinematics? Cute!Vandal/Glitch ingame? Not cute!
>>559473456thief is cute in both
the skill ceiling is too low in this game actually
Kill kill KILL kill KiLl kiLl KillNo extraction for (You)
>>559473397That seems like it will get boring very quickly. Just sitting still and shooting fish in a barrel.
ill just play the new poo1 league tommorow, frick this slop
ok i just got completely dunked on by some blue robots. i think theyre grenadiers? man. i have no idea how to kill enemies in this game i think.
>>559473567That guy is an autistic faggot and specifically does that to make ragebait webms and get replies in threads like these
>>559473352STS is a casual coop game my guy
>>559473531one of my teammates was showing off his blue sniper rifle to me when he was immediately downed and killed by an enemy sniper all in less than a second. that's when I knew I had to uninstall the game and refund.
My first like 10 runs since I got the game have just been>load in>do contract objective>die in a three-second skirmish while trying to extract or get to extraction>rinse and repeatWhen does the fun begin?
>>559472961I FUCKING LOVE ESPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORTS
>>559473606have you tried shooting them
>>559473691Try unblasting and blasting it back in
>>559473684that's hilarious though
>>559473660Marathon is a AAA live service game my guy
>>559473691when you stop sucking dick
>>559473790Didn't seem funny to him, or me. Anyways, I gotta stop posting here since I don't own the game anymore.
>>559471246I want the game to live just to see how the fuck they will, if ever, implement the P'fhor into it.Afterwards, it can implode for all I care.
this game is really ugly
>>559473691you will die less, possibly, maybe, with better gear.okay well you might not die but you will still die pretty fuckin quick with the best shield and thats by like half a second.
>>559473419>it's missing extraction shooter staples like playing like shit ok
>>559473878I like the way it looks. It's like Beacon and Synthetik mashed together.
>>559473819I feel like even if I win any of these three-second skirmishes it's not gonna be fun, may as well be playing some fucking high noon duel game
>>559473910yeah imagine if dark and darker just had hitscan guns instead of bows/crossbows
>>559473691this is literally the entire game except you will stop caring about contracts after a month and then start caring about them again 2 months later (repeat forever)
>>559473567>That seems like it will get boring very quicklyNo. My target is the experience of other people. I don't care about "objectives", I want to ruin the run for other shells.>>559473639>ragebait webmsNo, I love doing it. I was always full of malicious intent, since childhood ;D

How many weeks did it take Highguard to crash and burn?
>>559474257your mom is an extraction shooter
>>559474321It took a day
>>559474321Highguard lost like 90% of its players within 48 hours
Why the fuck does anyone pretend you can just be nice in this game lmao this ain't Arc Raiders, there's no reason not to just fucking can open your opponents on sight I've stopped bothering even trying, everyone else just turns whatever's down their barrel into slag so why wouldn't I
>>559472961<___<
>>559474272oh no you just posted it spoiler that shit man better yet don't go exemplifying my point for me
>>559474321quicker than concord my dudethis is lackin a lot and it will take the casual audience like a week to figure out what we have been sayin all week
>people are hitting the 3rd map wall and wondering why they cant access it
>>559473817yep, a hardcore one at that, my guy, so it's not going to compete with a famous casual game
>>559472170It's probably that. Halo Infinite was plagued by that same issue for like 2-years straight. It's caused by trying to make netcode that tries to balance PvP between fast and straight up horribly slow internet connections. The end result?, people with terrible internet kill you even if you run away or get behind cover because from their PoV, you are still on their sight between half a second down to several, the server then tries to make it make sense and suddenly your character receives all the damage ticks that the other PoV hit on you but shouldn't have counted. It also screws people with horrible internet because if the server assumes they are in a position where they are to receive damage or death (fall, AoE, being shot by NPCs), then they die out of nowhere too. I remember that in Infinite it was so bad, you could be fighting somewhere and the server counted your character as shooting a wall or cliff at the other side of the map and even at different elevations. Which contributed to Infinite's fall from early grace besides the content droughts.
>>559474272There's a material difference on the paid skin that shows... something
>>559473169It feels like a very toned down S.T.A.L.K.E.R game with PvP and hero abilities hastily slapped into it, also a bunch of useless loot.
I really like the game overall but I'm kinda wondering what Bungie's thought process in only selling skins that are not that much more than recolors. The cosmetics for the weapons kind of suck too since they don't really change the shape of the weapon.
lmao just got into a 1v1v1 because we all spawned super close to each other
can you upgrade free kits or can you only upgrade rooks kit?
>>559474756They are 100% testing the waters to see how much little effort they can put on cosmetics and how willing people are to pay for them.
>>559474552And who is paying for this 300 million dollar game + millions in monthly server fees my guy? your 86k players?
>>559474772you can pay for the more expensive free kits
>>559474959The math has me concerned ngl.
>>559474756Release skins tend to always be the most basic
Thief is my wife and she surprisingly has a vagina.
>>559475001if you have to pay for it then its not a free kit
I spent money on this game and even I hope it goes fucking under and takes Bungie crumbling down with it, this game is terrible
>>559475113post in-game unaltered screenshot proving so or u r a LIAR
>>559475183I regret buying it. Playing solo feels basically impossible.
>>559475205I can’t I’m on Nintendo GameCube
>>559475183you're terrible
>>559475183I fucking hope they at least turn it into a fully PvE game if the plan to abandon it.Also for the love of God, bungo, put my fucking aliens in the game, you can't kill it before adding them. I can forgive the lack of a campaign, but don't do this to me.
>>559475238>ennemy AI health doesnt scale with player squad sizeWho tf tought it would be a good idea?
>>559475085That is not the issue. They will always be glorified paint jobs. Other GaaS skins have a unique outfit and assets. This is the same model painted another color.

>>559468683this dude goons with other men
What is even the point in playing this game if you're not that great at it? Think I've killed like 5 people in 35 matches. I just exist to move loot to better players at this point, I don't see any reason to keep going with it.
>>559475238its really not at all, i play exclusively solo, you just have to be more methodical and tactical
Umm, the wagies are logging off xisters!? What do we do now!?
>>559475354Uhhhh I don’t got internet
>>559475183>>559475238It's likely Bungie will still refund your purchase since it's such a heavily refunded game today.
>Too broke to fully enjoy Marathon
>>559475447Starting to wonder the same.I'm not a fps main and i'm mid 30's, i'm competitive and willing to learn but it feels like it's impossible to catch up even to the bottom 50% of players with game knowledge etc.
>>559475575>since it's such a heavily refunded game today.pulling stats out of your ass huh?
currently camping this anomaly in solo because i need 1 kill to complete an arachne contract, will i get my kill?
>>559475317I think the problem isn't enemy health scaling but calling in an extract summoning 5+ enemies on top of it that are all hit scan and can see you no matter where you are while throwing muultiple grenade clusters at you while you die in two hits. I haven't seen an unprotected extract in any of my solo matches.
>>559475470yeah 30mins of this slop was quite enough for an entire lifetimeif they retool everything for at least a PVE game mode and knock the price down to let's say.... $10-$20 i might soften up tho>>559475552aight, fair, i'll take you at ur word then blud thief is shorely a baddie
All I’ve learned from /mg/ over the last few days is that Destiny 2 paypigs are the whiniest people on the entire internet.
Last chance this game has is the weekend. 86k on the biggest PC platform means DoA to a project of this size and scope. Hell only ~100k were even interested in trying it. They straight up need a full on free weekend, maybe even an immediate pivot to F2P with full refunds. This is going down as another generational disaster if they don't do something quick. The re-released CS: GO did 50k. Helldivers 2 did 400k. ARC did 400k. Don't fool yourselves. Panic buttons are being pushed as we speak.
>>559475470>guys I gaslight myself!
How do you even get into the building in the columns for the contract? The shutters are down, the door doesn't open, there doesn't seem to be any vents. The fuck?
>>559475461>"What now?!?!?!?!"As we say in the gacha business...>EoS imminent
>>559475748And Marathon campers are good at video games
>>559475707I believe in you anon
>>559475801i think there will be a sharp decline to maybe 50k on the weekends. theres not a lot of shill bots that can hide behind the "uh its not out yet just wait for the new release!" and i think the mtx store kinda put a dent in the people unaware of bungies bullshit.
>>559475748literally 60% of the people sperging about this game non-stop are scorned destinyfags mad the resources didnt go into destiny 3
>>559475846There is a hatch you can knife open on the roof
Whats so good about Slay the spire anyway?
>>559475801honestly 140k on server slam translating into 88k today is pretty good, majority of the people who are interested in the game are sticking with it.they knew it was gonna be an uphill battle, they need more than night time marsh map for s2 if they want more players
I predict they say fuck it and drop cryo archive this weekend to try and maintain some numbers
>>559475671>>559475748>>559475920All Bungie employees trying to hold back tears btw.
>>559475238its really not at all, i play exclusively solo, you just have to go ooga booga full ape and 1v3 squads with the bully, its easy. hard pushing them catches the noobs off guard every time
>>559475846top of the building theres a vent you knife open to drop down
>>559475920I know. They’ve really ruined this thread but I can only blame myself for hanging around here anyway.
>>559475954>honestly 140k on server slam translating into 88k today is pretty goodpass that copium sir
>>559475801Even if it goes F2P, the TTK means the battles are barely ever dynamic unless both sides are giga-sweats, which is not going to be the norm. Ever.I think what did them in real bad at the last second was them talking about wipes to casuals as if they were going to accept it. They just didn't bother touching the game after that.
>>559475989>destinyfag can't even hold the tears backYou lost
>>559476040ayo huff this shit nigga breeve deep
am i missing something or is there absolutely zero point in fighting enemies? they basically never drop anything and when they do its just trash
>>559475989Oh sweet fuck I didn't even think of the layoffs that will happen next week. Skeleton crew inc...
>>559476040nigga, server slam was FREE, the game is 40 dollars, what did you expect everybody was gonna buy it?especially after everybody everywhere shittalking the game nonstop to the point of drowning out any positive reception.
this general wont exist 3 months from now. nobody even gives a fuck to bake until 850+ everytime kek
>>559476143you obviously haven't killed any of the gold fuckers. they drop very rare shit
>HAHA IT'S PEAKING AT 84K IT'S ALL DOWNHILL FROM HERE>it goes up a bit and then holds pretty steady>umm... woke flop!
I'm disappointed it didn't break 100k today but you guys genuinely sound like schizos with some of these posts you make.
NO MORE BROTHER WARSPVE RETOOLING NOW BUNGO OR U GON' DIEliteral zogbot killing w/ frens 4eva why the fuck wasn't this the angle from the get-go
>>559475871i barely failed, downed 1 then another guy got me on the stairs before i could finish... need to execute for the contract
Not going to lie, those numbers look a bit Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez
>>559476251>holds steady>it has just kept going down and never going upLOL
>>559476251Umm... Xister? We're actually dropping fast. WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING, WE MUST BEAT THE CHUDS SOMEONE DO SOMETHING!
Kinda hoping that if Bungie goes under, at least PS sells the Marathon IP to Xbox... It's not going to happen. They wouldn't do it for cheap either.
>>559475995I challenged someone with a bully today, landed every shot, and still died first because apparently if you put a foregrip/stable mod on the overrun it turns into a laser and has dps that scales beyond all creation without any visual indicator that you're staring satan in the asshole.I gotta wonder who finds this conflicting design philosophy fun. They made distinct looking characters so you know what you are fighting, but there are mod combos that make even the most useless AR into a fucking tsar bomba rotary cannon with no visual indicator of what you are getting into.
i'm having sex with men.
>>559476279>shartyfag is afraid of pvpUnsurprised
Should I just buy Arc Raiders
>>559476302>oh fuck oh fuck just lie
>>559476181>nigga, server slam was FREE, the game is 40 dollars, what did you expect everybody was gonna buy it?>especially after everybody everywhere shittalking the game nonstop to the point of drowning out any positive reception.sub 100k is not good. in a month this game will have 50k players and thats at the high end. imagine if it loses 70% or 75%. youre looking at hunt showdown numbers. for a 6 billion dollar studio. that money aint coming back. which means bungie closing down. which means you can kiss this game and this general goodbye.many games have had bigger releases than their free playtest.no, im not talking about arc, im talking about BF6. if its doing worse that means it left such a poor impression and its downhill from here.
The endless repetitive discourse about whether or not this game is “succeeding” is just simply not interesting content. Sorry. I don’t care what happens to Bungie or Sony. You guys have become insufferable bores. Neither side of this faggy little micro culture war you’re having has anything of value to say. Just slop for slop’s sake.
Why are we dooming? 15k players are enough to support Bungie and Sony.
>>559468821This is a Bungie game. The forced progression grind is mandatory.
>>559476340oh yes competitive mouse wiggling and key tapping what a valuable expenditure of my time on this earthgive me co-op or give me death
>india wakes up>the shills start shitting up the thread and coping non stop
>>559476251Surely THIS will be the entry in the Concordian Timeline that doesn't go broke.
>>559476383they needed it to be as successful as arc to keep their studio, sony full control kicks in at q3 if they are not profitable.
>>559475447>I've killed like 5 people in 35 matches.Fortnite tier
>>559476251If you think Bungie and Sony are happy with an 86k player peak you are delusional. Executives are screaming into phones at Bungie leadership. Layoffs already planned. Server capacity being downsized. Sony is immediately moving forward with merging Bungie into the fold and dissolving the studio. Luke Smith is pondering the revolver. The entire leadership team are probably sitting in a room RIGHT NOW with heads in their hands while Hulst is tearing them apart over a voice call coming from a single phone in the center of a conference table.You have no idea the shit storm incoming over this thing.
GUYS DONT WORRY BUNGIE CAN SURVIVE OFF ME AND MY FIVE BUDDIES PLAYING THIS GAME
>>559476357Yes anon.>>559476372It also means the death of /dg/ unless Sony has mercy and throws the IP to some other studio of theirs, which they rarely ever do, i can't remember any modern example of this that wasn't a 1:1 remake of a single-player game, and the studio that did them, bluepoint, was killed by Sony recently too. We are done.
>>559476372>bf6>marathonyou are just being disingenuous, this game was written off from the get go man, it wasn't until the server slam that people started realizing it's actually turning around.with bf6 everybody knew what they were going into, they always do with bf, play for a few weeks with friends then abandon until next one.
I got my runner to level 12. I'm going to bed now. Fuck you and good night.
>>559475954>they knew it was gonna be an uphill battleno they did not. Considering how much money they pumped into adverts, trailers, music videos and shit they absolutely expected at least 200+kYou don't make AAAA game and expect an uphill battle.
>>559476629nice i got to 11 and realize i still cant do the outpost. ate lasagna now im really fuckin sleepy.
Let’s say hypothetically, this game does well enough to keep existing for over a year. Will you guys move on to something else or will you still be posting in this thread? I’m gonna keep posting in this thread even though I refunded my copy. Bungie dies in 2 weeks.
>>559476550As the other anon said, Sony will gain full control and dissolve Bungie or have them working on ports.
>>559476702it's been an uphill battle since last year lol they delayed the game to retool it because it was obviously going to crater
>>559476606>it wasn't until the server slam that people started realizing it's actually turning around.where are those people? 80k? yeah thats exactly my point. halve those numbers by the end of the month. that is NOT good. you needed at the minimum 200k.
>>559476702>no they did not.did you see the look of depression on their faces after the feedback of first footage shown to public? they were fucking suicidal man.
Hoping it at least holds out, albeit barely, until Halo 7's release so we might get a collab. I could rock some of these crazy colors and decals on a Scorpion.
>Ynr the shills unironically saying there was a vibe shiftKWAB
>>559476863shills this marketers thatyeah nigger you're the only one with real opinionsgo fuck yourself
>spend years sinking millions and millions and millions into this game while destiny 2 is a sinking ship>have to cancel destiny 3 due to budget constraints and admit that your company is basically on life support >launch your next big game to sub-100k players>even the biggest shills admit the game has problems You have to be delusional if you think Bungie is satisfied with this
>>559476702I still remember the "PLAGIARISM WILL MAKE ME GOD" bit.I couldn't stop laughing man. Still a tragedy for everyone working at Bungie. Still, kek lmao XD
>>559476427You're right a better use of your life is going into a 4chan thread to beg for something the devs will never see, actual retard LMFAO
I put $340 into Destiny 2 and played it for over 3000 hours and I have been raped in the ass and mouth by Bungie.
>>559476916sony sharpening its cutlery and drooling like a fiend at the thought of carving up this botched investment already
>>559476907You make yourselves really obvious still, this REALLY isn't the time to be coping about this game LMAO
>>559476907Never speak to ***-CHADS again. I don't want you in my general.
Reminder that the current trend of games crashing and burning is a simple fact: Developers that don't play games can't make good games. All of these failures are by self important "industry vets" that are so far up their own asses they have completely lost touch with what makes a game good. I bet not one of the decision-makers on Marathon had more than 10-20 hours in a modern FPS or even plays video games for fun. The reason we used to get good games is because the people making them LOVED GAMES.
man i'm really dreading the wipe. i want to progress missions just to upgrade rook and when the wipe happens he will be shit again. doing missions sucks fucking ass.
>>559476941Are you updating your resume already? We told you to do it weeks ago shillanon.
>>559476989if you are so fucking deluded to think that you are in a thread full of bungie shills, why are you even here? what are you trying to accomplish here if you think everybody else is trying to convince you of something that's not real? are you retarded?
>>559476916Why should I care though? Who the fuck cares what bungie thinks or how much money they make
UWOOOOOOH DEADLOCK BROS
>>559477081>he literally has no actual rebuttalLmfao.
Nice game
unofficial /mg/ matrix room for those interested in LFG later, since there was discussionA) already have matrix account -> go to #marathon:wallrun dot clubB) no account -> go to wallrun dot club (or use your matrix client of choice) and register using the same homeserver with token "IonIsBae", then join the room with the address in step A)
>>559477113>fucked up the cropgiggling like a lunatic tho
>76,715 players right now>88,337 24-hour peakim a world class marathon haterbut even i GENUINELY believed it would hit 200k MINIMUM on day 1 and 150k-190k day 2SUB 100K first day is fucking insaneand its already going downserver issues dont account for that.bungie and sony deserve it but what the fuck
For all its faults, this game did do one thing I consider impressive: It convinced me to buy Arc Raiders.
>>559477063Just master knifing. Abandon ballistics.
alright i did arachnes 1 priority contract and theres no more? hopefully more appear as i level the faction up
>>559477237Same. I'd thought it'd get 200k.
>>559477237>muh numbersit's day 1 manwho cares
Here’s every non-shill opinion I’ve seen so far>casual players just feel like loot pinatas moving loot to more skilled players>some are literally acquiring learned helplessness from the game and going in exclusively with free kits, assuming they’d lose what little they have if they took stuff in>good players are only playing to grief the casuals, will probably get bored and leave once the easy targets do>no one discuses the PvE, it’s an afterthought at most>cosmetics and mtx bitching>many purchase regretsMix this in with steamchart posting, and it seems like a fucking trainwreck.
So who’s actually behind the coordinated psyop campaign against this game? Please tell me these anons aren’t actually doing this on their own free time without compensation.
>>559477113>crushed by Slay the Spire II>outperformed my marvel fucking rivals>mogged by ancient f2p games like apex legends>even trash like Delta Force has comparable player counts Oh boy it's over as fuck for this thing isn't it.
>>559477113>tfw no matter what I always have something to playFeels good being the idort master race who isn't obsessing over sales
>>559477237They shot themselves in the foot by using the "From the creators of Halo and Destiny" tagline.>Doesn't play or look like Halo. Lost the IP.>It's not Destiny 3. They cancelled it for this.What did they expect?, a warm welcome?
>>559477320literal schizos
Man 4chan has become so lame lately with nonstop doomers infesting every general. Its the same tired salesposting and engagement baiting crap every general what the hell man.I seriously don't give a shit about whether the game will be the next coming of christ or whatever. Just wanna see people talk about the actual game.
>>559477295first impressions are literally all that counts in life
>>559475447>I just exist to move loot to better players at this pointthe core of a successful extraction shooter based around PvP
>>559477295>it's day 1 man>who cares
>>559477296a separate PvE and PvP mode would have made this game a hit. absolutely nobody likes sweaty "hardcore" players except other hardcore players. I see no reason why an ask so simple is ignored.
>>559477320You're right. People who have opinions you don't agree with are actually all gang stalking you from their private discord sending out coordinated targeted harassment campaigns against it just because they know you specifically like it.
>>559477361>It's not Destiny 3. They cancelled it for this.Aaaaand there it is LMAO
>>559477378You can't do that anymore anon, you have to pick a tribe and fight in the culture wars. incel chuds vs woke agenda. Everything has to be boiled down into this bullshit.GG was a blight on this website, now this is all we have to look forward to.
>>559477320Someone blame the Russians and Chinese plz. I can't make a believable narrative for them.
>>559477378There's a reason the site is dying and everyone is moving to altchans, forums or discord servers.
>>559477476sis?
>>559477345joke's on you, vidya is buttbutti'm just an unc halo stan taking in my relish of watching bungo finally die in ignominy
>>559477378What’s there to discuss? There’s two things that happen when you load into a match>you’re more skilled at fpsYou basically get free loot.>you’re less skilled at fpsYou lose all your shit and make no progress.
does the overrun suck ass or do i? i love the bully but i cannot make the overrun work
>>559477378These people suck anon. They just want to drag everyone down to their level of misery. 4chan is a dying old relic. It’s just the way it is, unfortunately.
>an expensive AAA live service game doesn't need players chud!!!!
>>559477243I hate extraction slop but got arc raiders as a gift so I’ve begrudgingly played a bit of it, and marathon unironically made me appreciate it for the first time.
>>559477378Because nobody got the game anon. That's news. That's all there is to talk about. It's a disaster after a string of disasters. It's a trainwreck in slow motion and a watershed moment for the garbage cesspool that is the AAA video game space. It got mogged by fucking SLAY THE SPIRE II. Gamers are finally voting with their wallets and rejecting AAA slop. It's beautiful and horrible to watch unfold.
>>559477063they are confusing with the layouts but its really just doing the initial bullshit and just focusing on those contracts but i mean i really dont know whats really important to make my own loadout. im just freeballing to get the chores done
>>559477295just dont engage these retards are only here because they have nothing better to do, they will leave in a day or two
>>559475801I fully believe the extra players are people who did not play the beta, and are just buying the newest game that came out, and marathon "looked cool" from the trailersDoubt the number takes into account the people that are refunding, and if its like the beta, even if they don't refund they are likely going to be like>"ok this isn't really that fun">"guess I wasted some money, oh well"
>>559477457They don’t even like each other. They like griefing shitters. Once any resistance pops up they get pissy too.>>559477485Pretty sure I’m just seeing people discuss how the game is bad mechanically and that’s why it’s failing.
>>559477378The only points worth discussing probably get brought up at least a couple times each in every big thread, you hate fun or something?
>>559477583For real. Comparing Arc Raiders to Marathon is like comparing Halo to fucking Haze.
>Want to discuss new video game MARATHON>Go to www.vg dotcom>Click on the general for the new video game MARATHON>75% of posts are screenshots from a website (not a videogame, and certainly not MARATHON)Is this thread just for speds or are actual players here too?
>>559477378>latelyhas always been the case even before Tortanic. I suppose the difference is instead of playercounts being closely guarded and sold on the black market by analytics groups, Steam democratized the player numbers.
>There’s nothing to discuss!And yet you niggas just keep on yapping. Blah blah blah blah. You’re worse than women.
>>559477296i dont like bringing in gear i like because i cant get any good fuckin guns. im not loading better backpacks shields and implants if the only thing accessible to me is some gay rifle that bucks like a rifle compared to every other gun that is a laser beam
>>559477760>playing a game with women (or at least foid coded goybots) in it
>>559477296It's pretty obvious they realized people would dislike and drop the game because of that "learned helplessness" feedback loop so they made a disposable shell just to try and salvage their interest in the game, even if just to serve as unwilling fodder for the sweats.
>>559477378Watching the shambling corpse that bungle has become get put out of its misery is a joyous occasion
escape (from 4chan) will make me god
Is this game not just basically a battle royale? The contracts are a joke, there's no reason to engage in any PvE, everyone is just kill-on-sight-ing each other, the loot that isn't doing more damage or tanking more damage is worthless. I feel like I'm just playing fucking Apex every time I queue up a match.
>>559477378problem is i cant discuss the game. theres nothing to discuss other than how fuckin unbalanced it is.if i say its perfectly fine and im having fun, who the fuck wants to make a discussion out of that?
What's the best shell for solo contracting? I'm thinking triage since I can at least save on heals.
>>559477790Give it some time. In every one of these games there's an "equalizer" gun that bridges the gap and is the go-to for ungeared players to play on a more even field with the chads. It's usually a high damage, high penetration, single shot rifle. So whatever that is.
>>559477879It does looks like Apex with the gamma set to max lmao.
>>559477896thief
>>559477790Yeah, learned helplessness. Your brain realizes that no matter what you do, the outcome is you dying to another player and failing to exfil, so it gives up on bringing in better gear and just uses free kits where there’s no risk. Simple brain biology, even in a dumb game, a human wants to minimize risk.
>>559472703That's a completely different anon.
>>559477879>I feel like I'm just playing fucking Apex every time I queue up a match.Funny you mention that. The game is basically slow Apex with a shitty progression system. So much so that even the burntpeanut feels the same.>Damn this is kinda like some shitty BR, like a slow Apex or something.>Fuck, why don't I just play fucking Apex instead of this flop of a game?
>>559477743its just launch day retards trolling, ignore them, yesterday we had real discussion, should return to normal tomorrow or saturday
who up slaying they spiremore people than are tolerating this that's for sure lmfao
>>559477378Just be glad that you never became one of them
>>559476751>>559476783But that was last year. Since then they tried to put out nothing but positive shit about the game.I don't think they expected numbers this low on release. We'll see how it goes on the weekend.>>559476925>"PLAGIARISM WILL MAKE ME GOD"kek
>>559477915well thats what im sayin as an in betweener of casual-sweat. i dont know whats my gun yet. i dont know what mods im even slappin on shit. i have no money or supplies to reup on anything from the store because they are>locked>expensive>no barter equipment>need them to upgrade my skill tree to unlock them anywayand id rather just, save up money and just get the contracts outta the way because if i spawn on the other side of the map, that just increases the chances i die by about like 80%
>>559473352I wonder if they're going to stick with the reset at the start of each season. I have a feeling player retention is going to fall off a cliff the moment the first reset hits.
I too acquired "learned helplessness" from engaging with Bungie products.
>>559477954>deciding to not walk through a black neighborhood with my phone, wallet and carkeys is learned helplessness
>>559477823It doesn’t help. Eventually the loop gets to>I am bad and will never be good enough to compete>this game gives me negative feelings>I will stop playingThat’s how it happens for the casuals. Some get their refund after a few hours, others are going to play over the weekend and realize they got fucked out of $40.The game is unironically too sweaty, and unlike something like Apex where you carry nothing over between matches, in Marathon you actively lose shit.
>>559478063>get the contracts outta the wayoh those things that you'll be forced to do again in give or take ninety daysgod in heaven this is a blunder without peer
>>559477896>AssassinYou can be fucking invisible, so get out of jail free / big advantage in sneaky pvp>TriageEfficient supply wise, his prime can fuck up commanders>DestroyerMachinegun with shield + his prime can put out a shitload of damage for PVE, and his boosters make him cover horizontal ground extremely fast in bursts.They all have their benefits, I roll Vandal but that's just because I like being able to get on top of stuff consistently or run the fuck away really quickly. Thief can get on top of stuff too but way less often.
>>559478063If you're broke, run free kits or rook. Then buy guns from the traders until you find one that clicks with you and you can feel consistent with. Aim and positioning will beat gear in every extraction shooter ever made. So find the gun you can consistently perform with.
>>559478192idgi even tarkov doesnt have forced wipeswho at bungie hq thought this was a good idea
>"Learned helplessness"K E K
>>559475595>A sense of pride and accomplishment
>>559469332>Marathon is an indie passion projectlol wut
Destiny 2 made me a homosexual. Thanks Bungo
>>559478189>in Marathon you actively lose shit.Honestly this is not as big as people feel it is.Gear is extremely easy to come by and constant upgrades and contact ranks raises the floor as you play.
>>559478251ayo we gotta get in on that xtraction sloppa and play to every already-set botched-ass trend my nigga
>>559477485>>559477507>>559477579*sigh* Yeah>>559477586Games like these will always get mogged by very casual friendly games like Slay the Spire that do well. Casual isnt bad either, not being elitist about it but half of gamers after covid are just regular people who don't want particularly anything too difficult until it blows up big enough it just becomes expected to play it.>>559477828admittedly chuckled
>>559478167Sure, call it pattern recognition, the outcome is the same.>bad thing happens like getting mugged by niggers irl or in marathon>brain learns to avoid bad negative thing like shitty video games and blacks
im having more fun than i thought i would, the map is funner than AR
>>559477670>they don’t even like each otherRuneScape wilderness is a great example of this, it’s an area of the game that functions like an extraction shooter in spirit, enticing rewards but other players can kill you for everything you have. The vast majority of players engaging with it just want to run around scoring free kills on undergeared shitters too panicked to fight back. There’s a dedicated worlds to no risk pvp with customized pre built load outs, purely fair fights and it’s practically dead outside of being botted to hell
How do I unlock "Learned Helpless" bros?, it's not in the skills. Am I doing something wrong?, is it loot?
>>559478337yeah thats how i get immersed in my extraction shooter where i know if i die i lose everything. might be a bit of a self preservation thing for my ego since its a videogame. i might end up liking the game more if i do that
>>559477296>>559477823yea I'm surprised they didn't think about the learned helplessness thing, but I guess it's not "common sense", I did learn it in college, so if I didn't learn it there I guess I wouldn't have knownto any anons reading>learned helplessness>put a dog in a room with 2 sides, each with an electrified floor>it sits on one side, electrocute that side>it moves to the other side, electrocute that side>1/3 of dogs try moving back>2/3 of dogs are like "welp, this is my life now" and just take the shocked floorits not just a dog thing, even people are like>die to this>die to that>die to something else>"well fuck this game"
>>559478281That's the joke, anon.
>>559478383just keep at it
>>559478256Insane take. If you aren't always loading in with your best shit, you're never going to get ahead. Free kits exist for when you're broke. The second you get a green, you run that green. So on and so forth. Otherwise you are literally wasting your time.
>>559478281Slay the Spire dev twitter just bein cheeky.
>>559478447Catch me sliding around this room like Jamiroquai
>marathon players are literally abused dogs getting shocked on the floor by bungieFUCKING KEK
>>559478447I don't get it, why doesn't he just walk up to the door?
The anon who said >learned helplessnessfirst needs to get de-shelled alive (in Marathon).
>>559478418the dying part wouldn't be so bad if the ttk wasn't super fuckin low and punishing. that part feels a bit CHEAP hence reinforcing this "learned helplessness" positioning to help ourselves to have a blast.
>>559478530shit's locked bro
Destroyer Arachne players have the biggest balls out of the faction, change my mind.
numbersposting is fun though
>>559478236thanks fren
>battle pass with one skingenuinely what the fuck were they thinking? like did they think everybody would get a vandal skin?
>>559478418>>die to this>>die to that>>die to something else>>"well fuck this game"Welcome to video games. Story driven bullshit action games was a mistake.In video games you are expected to fail and learn from your mistakes and then when you accomplish goals you feel great about having achieved something through the struggle. Lower the stakes, lower the danger, lower the fun.There's a reason Dark Souls got really popular in the era of QTE slop games.
>>559478449So don't buy the game? Ok
>>559478449Wouldn't it be better to just enter the harder maps with practically nothing, camp a fully-kitted retard and then use their stuff to go around fucking up stuff until someone else gets you?, make em learn some of that learned helplessness too?
>>559478615>In video games you are expected to failno
>camp extract as thief>wait for the animation that locks them in place>use drone to steal their itemsits just that easy
>>559478602theres that learned helplessness thing again. you're afraid of losing money for purchasing some cosmetics because you're afraid of regretting your decision.man this game is a trainwreck!
>>559478636LMAO
lol the charm and stickers are limited individual items and can’t be applied universally, I want to be shocked but that bald penis Justin trainman is running the show so I guess it’s on me. I’m sorry but even though there’s already clutter on the weapons anyhow who gives a fuck about pixels, I’m genuinely convinced nobody at Bungie has played a recent game in at least 10 years
>>559478676Yeah not anymore thanks to losers like you
>>559478615Even demon souls and elden ring provide options for players to not have to engage in pvp if they don't want. The games have depth, strategy and are challenging. Marathon is empty and soulless and has 0 excuse to not have PvE
>>559478323A casual player is only gonna tolerate a certain amount of time fumbling around the dogshit, visually grating UI and restocking shields, health, ammo even if they aren’t losing all their shit . This game will dip hard
>>559478737>Marathon reboot>No P'fhorAbsolute retards handling Bungie rn I tell you.
>>559478449so like, a battle royal?
>>559478737go back to /dg/, raped one
Sheesh, I was so engrossed in the game that I almost forgot that Thursdays were my estrogen injection night. Time sure flies when you have so much fun!
>>559477296pve might as well not exist in the game. this is a 95% pvp game. enemys exist to just make noise to tell other players you're there, replace the enemys with alarms and you would have the same thing.arc raiders was a mode even split of pvp and pve, even if solos leaned more toward pve.
>>559478602It was the skin from one of the early play tests as well? Bungie are some kind of special
>>559478835How does that work? You just inject it in your leg or what?
>>559478783That's a valid point.
>>559478853This reminds me how in Halo Infinite, the Mark VII helmet was going to be the default helmet for everyone, but it looked a tadbit too good so they turned it into a paid battlepass rewards and gave everyone a simplified version of the Recruit helmet from the previous 2 games.
>>559478889Yeah, or your belly fat, depends on the needles you use.
I had 3 friends buy the game and all of them have refunded. I am actually really interested to see the player count after this weekend.>>559478602Don't forget the battle pass has attachments but you can only put them on a single gun at a time. What a moronic thing to do.
>>559478852Then the question is, why the fuck would you spend $40 on this when Apex is free and gives the same experience?
i cant tell if this anon is serious when hes being so aggressive about people choosing to play their game with free kits.its concerning. must be a psyop to make casuals just loot pinyatas for >>559478659
70k!?SHILLBROS WHAT DO WE DO? THE CHUDS WERE SUPPOSED TO PLAY OUR GAME! WE TOLD THEM THEY WERE BAD AT THE GAME AND THAT ARC WAS A CAREBEAR HUGBOX!?WHY. AREN'T. THEY. PLAYING. OUR. GAME!?!?!?!?
>>559478852This game is about looting and running away.
grab on tight boys, we're going down. dropped to 69k.
>>559478659Also a valid strat if you have good aim and positioning. This is a key element of extraction shooters. >bush wookies, extract campers, corner shotgun rats, 3rd partying, etc. The Chad will always fear the shotgun rat popping out from some unseen corner the second they go to loot their kills.
>>559477381>first impressions are literally all that counts in lifezoomer detectedNot only are you wrong, but 1st impressions are not even the most important ones in most situations.
>>559479070trust in china gweilo
>>559479070Funny number. Haha. We are screwed man, screwed!!!
>>559479012The charm and sticker thing makes 0 sense. You already own the fucking thing,why waste a reward slot to make a duplicate and then act like it’s totally normal to restrict ?
>>559479116please elucidate me on a circumstance in which your first evaluation of it didn't entirely inform you as to the whole of things in play
>>559478852Apex is absolute dogshit currently and for the past 4 years or I'd play it instead yeah.
any reason both my teammates would start DC'd?
loot extract for better weapons that will help you pvp but looting and extracting is detrimental because you lose mental tryin to keep track of doing more things than one and next thing you know after tryin to find some dumb fuckin terminal you got a team on your ass because your squad is in loot goblin mode and not in POSITION
>>559478721Luke Smith won
>>559479012The battle pass is all sorts of retarded. It's obviously themed around vandal and her skin with unique skins to match it but then theres just random shit that doesn't fit the theme at all and the weapon skin on the last page with the vandal skin doesn't match the theme at all either.I'd be happy if every weapon had the weird spikes on it so you could have a matching kit but instead its only a handful.
Killing people is fun but I wish people talked shit more. Or talked at all.
>2d game that costs 15bux and can played during work has more players than a 3D $40 games that need a decent PC to runWooooow who could have seen this coming
>>559479240They were probably friends who wanted to play alone, I know you can play duos.
>>559479070>beaten into submission by Alex, R6, Marvel, all ancient tier live service games >taken out back by ARC, the only competition it has, and ARCs numbers didn't even dip >runner up is fuckin Delta Force>stardew valley nearby waving as it plummetsholy shit it's so goddamn funny
>>559479371>cant even beat a flailing arc raidersyeah your shit is cooked
>>559479371I get over 40 fps with my shitbox pc with a 1070. It's not the best but it definitely runs.
How long til the number wankers leave and we can discuss actual gameplay?
>>559479070>>559479438Can they at least add the fucking AyyLMAOs and turn it PvE offline before or after they kill it?
>>559479442what game should i play instead
>mentioning Delta Forcelol okay, that game literally is 80% bots
>>559479540a few days at least
>>559479583don't play vidya, it's all shitpaint furry porn and horus heresy models instead
>>559479545If the pve enemys were actually fun to fight I think the game would do well but the hitscan bots and turrets are boring and so are the parasites or whatever they are.
>>559479176So they can sell it to you again later on, of course!>>559479324It's also really clear that Vandal is meant to be the 'face' of the game with all of the themed cosmetics and skins, promotional material, etc. Meanwhile the Deluxe edition didn't come with skins for two of the launch characters and multiple of the "Luxe" skins that are part of that skin line are being sold separately outside of the edition of the game.
People are saying the player numbers might be unironically botted due to the weird pattern it generated, and 91% positive reviews is also sus, on top of sounding AI generated.It may be even worse than we anticipated.
>>559479583Apex
ended the day level 16 or so with 20k credits and 35k stash value. not as good as i hoped but not bad
>>559479698ah yes everything is perfectly orchestrated by the company, who by the way couldn't make the game any good!do you see how insane you look right now?seriously anon, get help.
>>5594795401-2 days, happened with the slam then they fucked off, just imagine how dull their lives must be lol
>>559479540what do you want to discuss? :)
Crazy what having actual voice actors does for your game's feel and aesthetic compared to whatever Arc Raiders is trying to do narratively.
>basic robot>slightly stronger basic robot with shield>this time he throws grenades>this time he goes invisible>even stronger shield robot with purple shields>strongest shield robot with gold shields but this time he hacks you>turrets>little red blobsYour PvE experience, sir.
>>559479925s'gonna need a lot of work but at least a decent vision for what it might eventually be exists
>>559479925>why is there only slimes and goblins at level 1 in my jrpgabsolute retard
>>559479925this game seems impossible solo
>>559479698It actually looks like it's being brigaded postively. Most reviews with multiple hours seem to be negative while there are a massive amount of 25 minute playtimes saying things like "Get good".
>>559479698The reviews are extremely AI generated, just a ton of half hour played accounts saying>Best game ever the x, y, z are amazing!>The haters lost!>Another win from bungie!
>>559479838They even hired you trannies to come seethe to these shithole boards, honestly nothing is out of the question with how pathetic Bungie's been getting lately. And yes, your speech patterns are just as recognizable as ever.
>>559480042nahjust takes time and effortthis is not a game for scrubs who give up easily
>watching Peanut>him playing Arc Raiders>everyone laughing and having fun>they all get killed by another team at top of spaceport tower (big loot and PvP up there)>1 teammate immediately killed>1 teammate manages to get on an awkward location outside the tower on a railing that is hard to get to>1 enemy goes down from their own mines>the other enemy say "Come on man, you're always acting like a fool">Peanut: "yea man, you're always acting like a fool, hey uh me and this other guy got some business to take care of, you're always acting a fool, anyway can I get a revive">revives Peanut and lets him leave>proceeds to waste 2 more revives on Peanut as he tries to get on the railing to revive his friend and fails>even the guy from the enemy team ends up falling and needing a revive>everyone is cracking up>they all extract together making jokes>one guy makes a comment and namedrops his teammate, "Come on Josh" telling him to hurry up to extract>Peanut: "YEAH come on Josh">turns his screen to the other guy>Peanut whispering: "that was the guy that was dicking around earlier and acting like a fool up top">everyone laughing>this kind of entertainment will never happen in a game like Marathon
>>559480021A JRPG has more than slimes and goblins thoughbeit. Marathon has robots, turrets, and little red blobs. I’ve seen h-games with more enemy variety.
>>559480095fucking schizo, take your meds
>>559476757The game is great though so why wouldn't it increase?
is midas always gonna be the one sponsoring my freekits or something? how does it work?
im finally having fun in an extraction shoota and everyone is telling me the game is unfun when extraction shooters are just unfun in general im going to cry why are you doing this to me what did i do to any of you
>>559480185Next you'll say something about the culture war.
>>559480214if the game is so great why didn't it hit three million concurrent players on launch today?
>>559480154You're missing the point retard. We don't know what Marathon has yet, we're only in the starter zones. You really think It's gonna be just different kind of small to medium robots the whole game?
>>559480239Changes every day
>>559480130>this kind of entertainment will never happen in a game like Marathonpeople want to actually fight each other not play coworkerslop
>>559480042It may be there's just too many spawns.Trios you could go 20+ minutes and never see another player. Solo it spawns you 10 meters away from each other.
>>559480130Cinema.
>>559480315damn so my learned helplessness helps me farm rep faster thats nice
>>559480298>You really think-Yes, Bungie is really incompetent and the bots already reuse most of the D2 enemy animations, there's not much else they could've recycled.
>>559479698Somethings definitely off. The game had tons of negative opinions about it since reveal and even during the tests and this is a niche game that casauls definitely wouldn't like plus all the people who have hate boners that this isn't destiny 3 who would buy it and give a negative review then refund it. We've also already lost a big portion of the launch players already.It being higher than 90% can't be genuine, even something like arc raiders is 80%.
>>559480298I’m pretty sure most games launch complete with all sorts of enemies, anon.
>>559480242Some people (You) need to take criticism less personallyWhat? Is Marathon your personality and you feel personally insulted? lmfaoFace it a majority of people wanted to like the game and now we dont, and now we want to shitpost about it on 4chan, the place known for shitpostingwhy don't you just go circlejerk on reddit while you play the game
Anyways, Outlast Trials just released their new roadmap. Are you hyped? New ex-pop enemy coming in season 7.
>>559480214>The game is great though
>>559480402do we know how many total players per map at once? how many squads? would be nice to know
>>559480435>the bots already reuse most of the D2 enemy animationswhy do you act like this is some negative thing?fromsoft does this as well, why the fuck wouldnt you reuse things?
>>559480507slop slop slopslopslop slop slop slopslopslopslop slopslop?slopslopslopslop... slopslop.
mara sisters... people are waking up to the fact that our game is botted...
>>559480462Not live service games bucko, welcome to the new age
>>559480402Frierenposter you’ve figured out how to save Marathon. Literally just reduce the amount of players that spawn in.
>>559479748but im white
>>559480536I'm saying they already reused most of their stock so there is nothing else they could possibly reveal in the new maps, with Bungie you should always keep your expectations low because they always do the absolute bare minimum. The difference is that Destiny players tolerated their incompetence but they won't have the same luck with a whole new audience.
>>559480042its really not its just more tactical and slow, its quite fun imo, basically play it like tarkov
>>559480435>Yes, Bungie is really incompetent and the bots already reuse most of the D2 enemy animations, there's not much else they could've recycled.I've seen bungie enemies and boss battles. Theyre all some form of humanoid shooting a gun at you. Its not going to get better.
>>559480587ideal playercount:mesome brazilian furry with 300 pinga south africanin a squadtotal kino
>>559480536nta but if they're going to just reuse shit from destiny they could at least give us more than a single fucking enemy type and it be something other than a generic robot grunt with a gunbeing lazy and reusing stuff from their other games but we only get 3 maps, plus we can't even pick going into them at different conditions to give variety like you can with arc raiders
>>559480524Here is the time for my tinfoil hat. I think they didn't originally plan on really having a solo mode, which is why things like Rook exist to 'balance it out'. After seeing the popularity of singles/duos in other games they pivoted to add it but did a half-ass job. Online estimates say there are 18 players in a match of trios which means 6 teams. What they probably do for solos is just put 18 players on the map and call it a day not even attempting to put into consideration the spawn rates, locations, etc so it just becomes a figurative clusterfuck.
>>559480674no you don't understand the compiler in vault 7 will have a bazillion hp and uh.... shoot beams at you i guess>overdelivery creates a pattern
>>559480687You forgot russian Ivan with VPN
>>559480042Classic retard devs assuming everyone playing their game is going to have all their retard friends buy a 40 dollar game on a whim just to play together. In reality, most people can only convince themselves to buy it, don't want to play with open mic retards, so they are forced to queue solo. And what does Bungo do? They put zero fucking effort into those players. I.e.... most of their players. Again, these people don't fucking play video games and don't understand the lives of normal people that are playing their games.
>>559479371Spire would've still outsold even if it the prices were swapped.
>>559480826happy to have him too man room there's a place for every race in the brotherly co-op hugbox
>>559480783honestly, for a map like perimeter, i would say its like maybe 4-5 squads at most
this games fun man idk why i like it so much but it just reminds me of wow open world pvp and i love that
>Contact to damage/kill a player>5 runs and havent seen a single personuhhhh
>>559480846thats why i push for higher ttk. i get wanting your robots to be dangerous but they are just like piss easy in squads and just retarded hard aloneyou go solo and you are just such an easy target for even trying to patiently engage in any of it. theres turrets, spider nests, piss clouds, stealth niggas, basic niggas, bigger basic niggas, basic niggas with shields, then big ass niggas and patrol unitsand they really didn't want to balance it for someone going solo there.
I've refunded, I'll be back for the Marathon 2.0 PVE overhaul
>>559481001are you having a blast?
Solo is fun as fuck if you have even an iota of patience and game sense. I dunno maybe play some more Thief Gold as practice, man I wish this game had a lean function.
>>559481010how is that possible i have like 2-3 fights per map
>>559480335>people want to actually fight each other not play coworkerslopthe player numbers say otherwise
>>559480783Playing nothing but solo lobbies has me convinced this is just a tacked on thing and they didn't balance it differently at all. It will probably be addressed in like 6 months after they shove in duos which also won't be balanced either.
>>559481092exactly, if you like stealthy methodical gameplay its super addictive, i think people bouncing off solo's are just running and gunning and get upset they cant 1v10 the AI
Cheeseburger
>>559481010just go to the infected building lmao everyone is getting fucked over there trying to do that mission
>>559481036Marathon is like 70% of the way into becoming a helldivers like game, they could totally make an alternative, minimal PvE mode with the stuff they already have, just make enemies juicier and port over some D2 bosses as roaming priority enemies.
>BUNGO-SAMA HYUU HABE DISHONORABURU'D US FOR THE LAST TIME!!!!>KISSU YUO'RE ASSESU GOODBYE!!!![insert graphic description of a sony SF team liquidating the studio with automatic rifles here]this WILL happen with the call having already elapsed and it's cope to think otherwise
>>559481285>with automatic rifleswhich ones specifically
>>559480130>>559480415>Play Marathon>Die>Uninstall>Bungie goes underCinema?
>>559480783It's not tinfoil at all, they literally DIDN'T plan on having a solo mode, at all. They were bullied by the playtesters into adding it last minute, and it only became available to test after the game's originally planned launch date. Shit's dire.
>>559481353surplused howa type 89s
>>559480783>I think they didn't originally plan on really having a solo mode, which is why things like Rook exist to 'balance it out'. After seeing the popularity of singles/duos in other games they pivoted to add it but did a half-ass job.looking forward to whatever the "raid" map will be like for solos
holy shit group play is awful, it's almost impossible to even complete the traxus intro
>>559480587>>559480687The ideal playercount is me (a cyborg for the UESC).A random hacker by the name of "Hackerman" arrested and taken to the Marathon after hacking into the mainframe.A marine in a green uniform hell-bent on taking out anyone who stands our way using a double barreled shot gun.
>>559475447play arc raiders
>>559481452mida has a ton of IN ONE RUN quest and that shits gay aids
>flat chart (never happened in the history of game launches)>91% reviews for a game that everyone is rooting to fail yeah your game is botted marabros. i guess 5k people played it lol
>>559481285I prefer the SIVA katana depiction
>you're gimping yourself if you don't pick the incel to run solos>you need to run the tranny, chud, redditor team in crews to survive past the first 5 minutes
is it true that energy weps are op and deal more damage to shields
>>559481467why aren't we playing as this guy in a sprawling reimagining of the original setting tho fr goddamn
>>559481170I have managed to have some friendly lobbies in solo, surprisingly. However the vast majority just seem to be a million players shooting each other in the back.
>>559480492im crying
>>559481505stop nyoticing bwo…we are blasting hard here
>>559481434Knowing Bungie they won't let people queue into it as a solo.
>>559481562Because Bungie's greed blinded them. Paralyzedd them. Dumbstruck even. And they decided to turn the IP into pseudo-Tarkov instead of just redoing the trilogy and maybe afterwards doing the extraction shooter as a spin-off.
>>559481396>everyone has 2 other people with 40 completely disposable dollars that will instantly buy our hardcore extraction slop!Bungie leadership is delusional.
>>559481505Even the hugbox subreddit is calling out Bungie’s blatant jewish mtx slop, but sure the game has 91% positive reviews kek.https://www.reddit.com/r/Marathon/s/u6NYnsMD7N
Is the S'pht thing a boss in the hardest current map or did they rugpull lorefags and newcomers?
>>559481803coming in hot with a mid-season raid map addition that will totally save the game trust me
>>559481260The only way they can save Marathon is to just pivot to adding in PvE elements like a campaign, Destiny like Patrol zones where you don’t have to worry about getting sniped by other players, it can easily still have roguelite or extraction elements too.
bros... we're at 58k...
>>559481953the night is younghow low can it go?
>>559481727>p-please don’t review us until the end of the month, we’re dropping a YUGE update then and your review will be useless!!!>reviewers: okay bungie sama you’re right we respect you
>>559467896is the game worth the 40 bucks or should I wait until I goes f2p?
Fuck I have 3.4 hours, theyre not gonna let me refund are they?
>new players/bad players are going to get dog shocked even harder when the good players get the marathon ship lootBros… someone needs to save them… they’re getting shocked harder than Hasan’s dog…
i got more dopamine eating chic fil a than at any point in time playing marathon
>>559482046say you accidentally left the game running
>>559482018you ought to have tried the BLASTIN', LIGHTNING IN A BOTTLE RETURN TO FORM server slam to have gotten a gauge as to whether you like it senpainearly everything presently available to play was on offer therein
when can i reliably purchase the br33?
>>559482009You know unrelated I thought this guy would be stereotypical ghetto but he's a pretty chill dude, almost like a loyal retriever from what we see in the cinematic.
@me when the layoffs happen. It's not an IF it's a WHEN and i'll be cheering it on as it happens.
>>559482046i got refunded after 3.6 hours. no harm in giving it a try.
>>559481803>>559481852>Runners STRUGGLING to kill a single S'pht.>Straight up running away from it even.Are they just going to make raid bosses of every single fodder and not-so fodder enemy from the original games?, kinda lame to be honest. I expected them to jump us like the UESC, in organized groups.
>>559482009is that George Floyd
>>559482046Valve usually always is more lenient during the first game of a game's release. You will likely get the refund.
>>559482187u rayciss nigga
This game feels astoundingly more miserable and less fun than it was during the server slam.
>>559482108i did try it, but the game was fucking with my PC colors. When I tabbed out all the colors were all saturated. It scared me so I stopped playing
You have been rapedBut dont worry, I will rape bungie back for your convenience
>>559482215first day*I should go to bed but the schadenfreude is very endearing.
My only regret is I wish I could have killed more players
>>559481940All of this could have been avoided with clear direction and vision from minute 1:>reboot marathon with a striking new style >make a solid 8 hour linear campaign with your massive writing, art, and performance budget>use all your narrative talent that you clearly have to make this the best Bungie story since Halo and a desperate breath of fresh air in the FPS space >to appease your slobbering financial overlords, add in a PvE extraction mode as your live service, using the enemies and environments you built in the campaign.>crank the AI all the way up, make them intelligent, mobile, accurate, and a genuine threat. >get your raid design team to build a raid to launch with as an endgame challenge for when you've completely geared up>include tons of cool lore and secrets and worldbuilding in your PvE mode>after launch and after some time for people to get a little bored, drop your PvP enabled mode and watch everyone go nuts It was that easy and Bungie just couldn't fucking help themselves and skipped to the last part without doing the legwork.
>>559482275nigga it's the same game, did you forget to take your meds?
>>559482290GIVE IT BAAAAAAAAAACKTHIS ISN'T RIGHTIT WAS OURS!
>>559482285Don't expect anything to have changed on the full release.
>>559482329The other players feel far sweatier, prox chat certainly doesn't help when it's a bunch of 21 year old neckbeards shrieking into the mic when they die or insulting you when they down you.
>>559482324future is now old man
>>559482320Also got my first purple salvage which was nice, looted it off the guy I killed
so what unlocks the FREE shit in the shop that refreshes daily?
I'm having fun :)
>>559482324It's not that they couldn't help themselves, fuckers put themselves on a timer after willingly fucking and nuking Destiny 2's playerbase. So they HAD to release something that was at minimum on-par or even a bigger hit than D2 or else Sony was absorbing them and, if the game flops, which it seems like that's what's happening, then killing them for making them waste 4 Billion on them or forcing them as a forever support studio for other titles.
>>559482482The free healing/shield consumes? NuCal.
>>559482518>waah waah destiny 2holy fuck you guys are traumatized
>>559482401>The other players feel far sweatierIts only going to get worse. The server slam had a lot of casuals interested in it day one who immediately dropped it which is why the player count dropped to like 30k even though it started at 150k. The 40 dollar pay wall will keep them out and only people really into it will stick with the game.
oh god bungie what did you do to yourself
i played like 4h with some losers from lfg and then i went to spam solo free kits with randoms and the latter was 5 times more fun
Oh I didn't even notice the soundtrack dropped before the game
>less than a half second ttkyea ill pass on this one
>marathon all time peak>less than 90 fucking kit's dead isn't it
>>559482580the free kits feel like shit, but i also only played solo
>>559482580Anons are really fucking bad at this game.
People saying the game is dropping 1k players every 5 minutes. Jannies nuked the thread for noticing too much.
>>559482641this game cost sony 4 billion with a b usd what do you think
Any idea why this gun would randomly start generating a shield when holding down the sight? It didn't do that for several runs and then just started doing it out of the blue, I dont see it mentioned on any of the mods either
what is VIP rank 1?
>>559482551The problem is not how they treated D2. It's the fact that they suddenly screwed their only source of revenue, thus forcing them to make a project that had to be a guaranteed money-maker or else they are done for. And it seems they finally are.
>>559482697*5 billion
>>559482710bottom right mod
>>559482641Weekend will be the real tell. There are some people that won't be able to play until Saturday. But I'm not expecting a massive surge. Might crown just over 100k, at best.
>>559481031The spider nests are most dogshit lazy thing I’ve seen in a long time, they look, move, and feel like something out of shovelware. They decide to have a single fucking non droid enemy in the game and it’s that. It ends up just being something you don’t engage with whatsoever because they function as little things that make an incredibly irritating sound, screaming to everyone in your vicinity “player over here, come shoot him in the back” As if doing anything in the game that isn’t silently walking that doesn’t give away your position enough in a game where you die in an instant
>>559482692Oh fuck they actually nuked the straight line thread LMAO this is fucked
>>559482710Bottom right mod is a shield mod.
>>559482764six gazillionincinerated behind wooden doors
>>559482685i looked for "competetive palyers" on discord but one guy, the goofy dumb american, already played alpha and "didnt know that AI can have green shields" and the other guy, well, he was alright but not more than that. really it was just the american that dragged us down.one time we were doing the wraith warden after finishing a squad and i told him to get his dumb ass inside the building, he just walked outside on the bottom floor and died and then blamed us.
>>559482576even marathon itself didn't really look like this man c'mon stop invoking greg's concept art when he himself likes the direction of neo nu marathon
>>559482518I honestly don't think there's any way this game makes its money back unless the whales come out in full force. They would need to sell 2.5 million copies to make their money back if it cost 100 million to make (which it more than likely cost significantly more) and that's not even including the Steam/Xbox/etc cut.
>>559482771>>559482796Oh, derp
>>559482781Server Slam peaked NOT on the weekend btw. What will make this any different?
>>559482791they are pretty much there as >if you're in proximity of this no matter where at on the x/y/z axis, you will have this thing home in on to annoy you until you take care of this nestchrist man, give us a proper alien thing to go with it please.
7-11 million copies need to be sold and this game peaked at 88k...Slay the Spire 2 peaked at 255k...Why are we here?
>>559482875you silly goose the means readily exist now to have brought it to all the truer lifejust tossed out the window in the name of whatever this is
>>559482650they dont if you push straight towards enemies and kill them right away. i usually have at least 1 kill before 3 minutes passed.>>559482685i got multiple free kit to blue gear comeups thoughbeit
>>559482889what the fuck are the whales even going to buy in this gameat least in gacha games, they make you spend hundred of dollars for copies of a character, so you end up spending around a thousand or more to max out your favorite waifu(s)
>>559482483Good goy Buy some lux if you want more of it
this game blows
>>559482979Blows my dick it's so goodHaters gonna hate but this game delivered on its promises
>>559482889Someone made the math and it allegedly costed around 350 Million to develop. Which means that if they want to break even, they need to sell 7 million copies, potentially 11 million if they really need a massive green quarter to not get offed by Sony.
IT ALL RETURNS TO NOTHING.I JUST KEEP LETTING ME DOWN LETTING ME DOWN LETTING ME DOOWN.
>>559482960the heals and shield rechargers are absolute shit, maybe i need another 20 hours playing the game or something but i can basically never find any heals outside of shit like poison cures or anti hacking juice.
i'm liking it. it's not as exciting as arc raiders (which ive wrung the fun out of already) but it has some neat stuff going on. it's still better than that other game that came outyou knowthe one (you) play
will this game make my norwood 7 go away?
>>559482969All of the skins in the store are half the price of the game itself. If you have people buying 2-3 skins they effectively double the "purchase" count.Honestly if any of the skins were good I would say go for it but all of the ones in the store right now are basic ugly recolours.
>>559483064its not more fun than Destiny 2
>>559483053just kill a squad first 3 minutes and take their good heals
>>559483071No but it does make your dick fall off
>>559483053A lot of the minor POIs around the edge of the map have the basic white shields/heals from what I've seen. Usually if I freekit I sweep the edge then move into one of the actual POIs.
will there be pvei do not want to be bullied by tarkov and arc raider cheaters i just wanna loot stuff please do not bully me i want to buy the game but theres no pve
ive died every single match tonight anonsfuck
>>559483064umm my game X is better than your game Y please refer to picrel for proof
>>559483091that's not a whale, a whale would be buy every skin and be spending thousands and that just likely isn't the case when this is a PvP focused game, the closest thing for them is>this skin will make me harder to see?>it's basically a required purchase
>>559482979Yeah, Vandals DSLs feel so good bro.54k btw.
>>559483165They'll add one eventually but you need to buy right now to support development
>>559483064But Dr Anonski, I am playing Marathonliacci
>>559482710>>559482960>these guys are getting blues and purples>i can’t even keep a single green for very longFuck it, I’m uninstalling. I haven’t extracted in 15 matches, all deaths due to players and not AI. I literally don’t even have anything besides upgrade materials and implants in my vault
>>559483095i could never get into it, and i tried like 3-4 different times.
>>559483095lmao it easily is and it's not close
>>559483165if they screw their heads on and spend at least several months cooking perhapsnothing to speak of priorwhether they'll be able or allowed to is very much in question
>>559483182>54k btw.whats this mean>check steam chartsWHAT THE FUCK LMAO
>>559483169are you doing solo or something? queue for teams, it's quiet enough that you can just walk out half the time
Marathon won't be the success Bungie wants it to be but it's not going to be a Concord-tier flop either. The playerbase will stabilize after six months to around 20-40k and Sony will keep it on life support since that's not so low a number as to justify shutting the servers off.
>marathon dropped 30k players alreadyuh marathon bros
>>559477485>wasthe main guy calling the shots still thinks we're in the trenches for GG
>>559483165the pvp is the point here, there's one faction of pretty generic soldiers to fight and whenever you fight them you need to be in the mindset of "somebody heard that and is now hunting me"
When do sales data and whining hours typically end on /mg/?
55k players....
Sony should shut bungie down for releasing recycled garbage the game
>>559483335its1:40am... its strictly an NA white mans game
Honestly if I woke up tomorrow and every shareholder was found at to have been turned into dust like in the 60s Batman film I would actually go into the streets and dance.
Wait what the fuck, its actually at 55k players, did the servers die in some areas or something?
>can't complete the traxus introwho designed this shit?
>>559483360there's gonna be at least a week on end of us roasting lulzy marshmallows over this already-sinking ship bro
>>559483232just spam freekits and rush pvp :^)
>>559483408it's almost 2 AM in white people countries anon
seeing this AHHH goofy shit they puttin on implants and rarities really dont mean what they mean because a green shield could have some fuckin prefixes on that says it takes half damage but requires a bit of readingthen the implants and mods also giving you kooky little bonuses to your skills like why the fuck would you do things that way?
>>559483414Alright I’ll be back in 8 days. You cornballs better be gone like you promised.
>>559483434I tried that. And I tried Rook. Died.
The General Sam video will save us.
>>559483413which one is that? the dire marsh get the commander thing?
>>559483463i promised no such thing, merely delivered an estimateif playercounts plummet hard it's liable to go on indefinitely
>>559477378this, they are making our shifts so much harder for no reason
>>559483509yeah, so far 7 deaths in trios because groups just fucking die unless you spawn for this mission at the bioresearch areaI've tried it solo 5 times, no luck, 3 of those times I actually summoned the thing and then got shot in the back by someone else
night night /vg/!
>>559483508Where is our savior, Peanut?
It keeps going down exactly 1k players at a time, they actually botted this shit LMAO. They may be struggling to make the sleep cycle seem natural.
>>559483472the trick is to keep doing it until u git gud
Only severe NPCs care if the media they like is popular. They only watch the most popular marvel films, listen to the top pop songs on the charts, and play the games with the most players. Absolute conformist drones. That’s why they’re so obsessed with sales data. They desperately need their opinions to be validated by the mainstream majority. It’s actually quite pathetic when you really think about it.
>>559483165no. the pve in this game exists to encourage pvp.
>>559483604yeah my first time in squads we got ran up with by a squad near algaethe second time tryin it like, we didn't see a single fuckin person ever and we were lingering there forever at complex and had to run across the map to extract
>>559483604Use Assassin, hack the computer then throw a smoke bomb at the commander, knife it to death then use the invis to hack the third thing. I did it in the westernmost outpost during the slam.
im tired of shit uis. im imagining some real voodoo low iq shit going around the 'ui/ux community'... whatever it is has been poisoning the well for some time now. these people are actually fucking moronslike the game though
>>559483232Not to jinx myself but I have literally never died since the game released.
evens i buyodds i play tekken
>>559483302no. first round we got team wiped. second round we won 2 fights and then heading to extract we hit those fucking exploding ticks and got got. third round we found another team and they didnt shoot so we didnt shoot and prox chatted friendly, only for them to kill us 10 seconds before extract. they didnt even get a chance to loot, they were just assholes. fourth round team wiped. and now im going to bed. rough start but its whatever its the nature of the game.
I thought the game was fun, why wouldn't people stay up all night to play it, it just came outalso>no sales outside the USlol?
>>559483717>>559483223>>559483261>>559483347okay thank you i will probably not buy marathon it will not be for me
>>559483528Maybe you’re right. I’m sure you lads can find a way to be annoying in this thread for months or even years on end.
>>559483750Give her bigger lips.
>>559483232Valve will still give you a refund btw.
>>559483628Raped
>>559483754Welcome to Tau Ceti
>>559483165no, the studio will be shutdown before the yhave the chance to add any PVE
>>559483628yeah it sure did GREAT at launch.then these fuckin retards dont know what happens after the first week. then they get their first content drought and forget the game ever existed
I didn't buy the game but I like the soundtrack
why the fuck can you only buy 3 claymores per day or whatever? why did I even bother to unlock this shit, rape bungie
>>559483840You’re supposed to put that in the ‘name’ field so we can better identify you.
glad i didnt listen to every mongoloid calling the game concord 3. im having fun
I want a map that has enemy air superiority. armed gunships flying around with spotlights that absolutely shred anyone who gets seem by them, or maybe sprawling tunnels with a UESC no man's land overhead full of machine guns and junk
>>559483920Added to the listIll cya on halloween
>>559483165No, the pve enemies aren't fun to fight either like arc raiders enemies. Maybe in raid map there will be cool enemies but you will need to sweat and grind for gear and play with a three man to even do it.
>>559483508And the Fleekazoid video will kill us.
>>559483939stop making me wish fundog was doing a far better job with the forever winter
>>559483696>only sev-ACK my game is eos without casualsftfy
>>559483926im having a blast*
>>559482518This game was in production since 2021, the current director said around 2025 that it was in production for about 5 years and had a high of 300 staff members on it. There’s only so much leeway you can give Bungie when the game is so light on content.
>>559483974Okay Mr. Raped
>>559483939I'm honestly surprised the UESC dropships don't fire on you at all, but I guess since shields are quasi-finite it would be too oppressive.
>>559483993>introduce ammo scarcity to increase difficulty>revert the changes 2 days later
>Crawl into a vent inside one of the buildings on Perimeter.>It literally dead ends and goes nowhere.>Gets me killed.Why in the fuck would they even include the vent and not have it do anything?
>>559483696Alright dude, keep playing until the servers are switched off in a few months and get your 40 bucks worth. People are also obsessed with this kind of thing because it's signaling the end of an era. Traditional big AAA slop is on the way out, and if we're lucky, the massive bloated cancer that is the modern gaming industry may be on the verge of collapse. I follow this kind of thing to smile and feel justified that these arrogant devs are all finally getting their due, their day of reckoning.
>bought game at 33% discount>can't refundIt's over...........
>>559484185Thanks for consistently bringing the reddit here. I love reddit.
guys don't blame the devs, blame the corporate structure!!!
>>559482046>>559482148Should it take this long to figure out you dont like the game, faggots?
>>559484247You were raped but thats ok you can be forgiven since you were obviously exploitedBungie will be raped soon enough
whoever decided to put him in the credits deserves a raise
>>559484185i really do not feel this way. AI fights are "i stand far away and shoot them and maybe pop destroyer's Q if we have it"mobility is important for teamfights, intel is important for teamfights, healing is pretty important for teamfights
so much time and money and they did this? what the fuck bungie even doing?
>>559484389>himher
>>559484262thats the meta for modern 4chan >look at what this person on this other site said or did!

>52k players/v/ is laughing at meyou promised /v/ wouldn't laugh at me for playing this game
>>559484494>XimIt*
>>559483696I like niche games and even digging deep down Steam to look for indie games with cool art styles, but if you’re selling a big budget multiplayer live service platform without any single player components, then it being popular is a requirement. That determines whether the devs stick around to add content, the frequency that updates come out, and whether they keep the servers up for more than a year.
>>559484507>52k players50k
>>559484430They were experimenting with how lazy they could be with recycling garbage and they thought they could run 2 live service games at once
>>559484247Same, this is another reason I want the game to fail.
Is there a tier list rating on the sponsor kits? How's the SekGen one?
>>559484486We just enjoy seeing normies getting mindbroken after they find out stuff the schizos have been predicting for weeks if not months.
>>559484486It’s kind of interesting. Most of the internet used to be culturally downstream from 4chan. But that has been reversed. Now 4chan is just the grease tray of the rest of the internet. Downstream from reddit, social media sites, and streamers/influencers.
>>559484607>We
>had to mark the game as private in my steam library so my friends wouldn't make fun of meI HATE YOU /mg/ YOU PROMISED IT WOULDN'T BE MADE FUN OF
>>559484389>Bungie doing something altruisticCould have just as easily been part of their settlement terms that he would be paid and then credited
>all those faggots say git gud and to go back to arc raidersHuh. Guess they’re doing exactly what you told them. I don’t want to hear any bitching about player counts dropping and people making fun of it.
It's called being realistic, not dooming.
>>559484690but it worked so well last time
Realistically marathon is deadBut as a doomer I want bungje to die now
>>559484762that game was really good and after the devs left due to their treatment over this game they went on to make good games so yea actually
>>559484690I think if people are unwilling to learn and their first reaction to friction is to dig their heels in and demand the game to cater to them I think they should leave, yes.
I guess I just don’t find any of this industry stuff interesting. Especially when the conversation has been had and it just keeps repeating. Say something once, why say it again?
I can't believe Marathon had no chance...
>>559484474What are you talking about? It's man.
>49k
Watching Peanut play Apex and it genuinely gives me a headache, it feels like it's designed for someone who abuses Adderall.
>>559484865Funny how calling out shit design and outdated mechanics immediately means the game needs to cater to people.
>>559484579Star wars collaboration when
>>559484494>>559484530>think you're lying>check 4nt1r34l>she/her followed by a tranny flaglmao marathon is for troons confirmed
I'm on the fence about getting the game. Are the doomposters right?
>>559484989>>559483315
>>559484989Do you find that people on 4chan are generally intelligent and have really good taste?
>>559484873past midnight across the better part of NA and people are still losing sleep in droves with some out of the blue indie game i know fuck all about god damn
>>559484989i think its a lot of fun
>>559484865I mean, a game HAS to cater to an audience, if not people will just not buy your fucking game and you'll have to bot the playercount and the reviews like the pathetic retards you are.
>>559484865The customer is always right, dumbfuck. You can sell whatever you want, but if people don’t like it, it’s going to be a failure. If you wanna be successful, you have to follow the mass market and that means catering to casuals.
>>559484989yes
>>559484969That’s right anon. Welcome home!
>>559484953Peanut is literally for drug addled zoomers and gen A. He's just another scream streamer.
>>559485079people on 4ch are fucking savants and philosopher kings relative to the rest of the internet senpai
>>559484247LMAO
>>559484956The only objectively shit thing about the game that should be fixed is the tutorial/on-boarding is really bad (a bungie classic) but if you actually stop and go over stuff manually and do some practice runs on freekits it all feels pretty intuitive.
>>559484989i think it's pretty fundo you like shooters where you play as a backstabbing dickhead who ganks people
>>559484989im having fun but i also got it for free (from my bf)
>>559485348>>559485348>>559485348
>>559484989It's fun if you like what it has to offer. It's definitely going to die in a year though.
>>559485079There was a time where /v/ was pretty reliable, but these days it's nonstop doom and shitposting.>>559485261yes.
>>559484989Having decent fun so far.Great games makes losing not that punishing though, wonder how far it will get.I'm 100% sure alot of players are gonna ragequit + uninstall or simply saying NIGGER 34 times on the mic when they get killed just to get banned, so the player count might drop very low and the game might unironically become more chill as a result.
>>559484686thiswouldn't be surprised if this is bungie posting about it>uhhh hey guys, if you watch the credits, that one guy we plagiarized is in therelike what lmao
>>559485174thank you xir, lets dilate
>>559484989Depends on what you want out of the game. If you want to play 3 mans and mostly just do pvp, you'll like it. If you wanted good pve or for it to be a game thats fun solo like Arc then you won't like it.But this game is going to probably die within the year and most likely Bungie will die with it.
Did they buff AI aggression?I could routinely clear out an entire POI with free kits in the slam but now they hyperconverge on your location even through walls
>>559485225This unironically, even the shitposters are just pretending to be retarded, while the rest of the internet pretends to be smart and just censors the rest.
>>559485369then maybe, that's the entire gamettk is low, audio is pretty crisp and there's a ton of different ways to hear a player. there are stealth-centric classes and you can build as a stealth/melee specific dude if you want. this is just a good ganking/ambushing people game
>>559485365i doubt it, this is their new destiny and with proper backing and new content this will be pretty popular in the extraction space
>>559484989The game is pretty shit even by extraction shooter standards, don't know how you attracted so many shills, but know that if you do but the game you can easily refund it for at least a day.
>>559485478the amount of ex-4channers i know who are embarrassed about how they used to think that they were smarter than everyone because they were bitter and alienated makes this really funny to read
>>559485478>even the shitposters are just pretending to be retarded
>>559485612without irony i've seen the self-awareness of shitposting go down like eight or nine levels of inception-tier shit here from time to timeabsolute best and funniest and most abjectly intelligent website on the internet without a single other peerlook into your heart and you will find it to be so
>>559485578There's no ex 4channers anywhere nigga we're all still here, don't lie. The internet is a complete hellhole and the alt chans are very dead in comparison.
>>559485727>dude me shitting up the website? yeah, get this, i was being IRONIC. You dont get it, i was entirely self aware during that period of utter retardation.
>>559485796been here since 2005, where the fuck am i gonna go, discord? I tried other chans for a bit but they're all hugboxes
>>559485796A few friends of mine refuse to visit 4chan anymore. They're just content with youtube shorts and twitter now.
>>559485894>hugboxesare they actually or do you lash out because of your autism when confronted with the fact that people generally want to be on topic and constructive with their conversations and you have to think before just replying with a frog or wojak or some canned phrase you learned to derail a topic
>>559485842Yes, we're here to have fun retard not be completely serious about anything. If we manage to influence the world enough for three letter agencies or marketers to come to this shithole it's by pure coincidence.As it happens the death of Bungie is a very good source of schadenfreude.
>>559486039>people generally want to be on topic and constructive with their conversationssounds like faggot shitall i wanna do is smile and laugh
>>559485145That's how a lot of these niche games go. The devs spend tons of money and time chasing a playerbase so niche that it becomes financially unviable. I'm not saying every game needs to be a dumbed down experience that is built for everyone (like CoD has turned into) but it does need to be appealing to more than a tiny player base if you're a AAA developer.
>>559486039nah i learned to contain my autism long ago, i just find environments where you are nudged to behave a certain way isn't conducive to sincere discussion, having poster ids and post counts just makes it like reddit or some phpbb bullshit too. this anonymous shit hits so strong i've been addicted to it for the past 21 years man, a place where nothing except the contents of your post matters. though nowadays everybody is brown and tranny and shill, back then we were just nigger faggots, i guess that's the effect of time on things.
>>559486549we're all still just niggerfaggots anonthe magic is ever-alive
>>559484762it will always be hilarious that battlefieldfags would accept fully automatic submachine guns in ww1 and soldiers sprinting around with MGs but could not allow females in their ww2 shooter no matter what and they got Patrick Soderlund fired over it.
>spawn into Dire Marsh>mark map for quest walk 10 feet forward>single AI enemy>kill it>immediately killed by nigger assassin player in some bushesdying like this in 15 seconds makes me want to genuinely go postal
Genuinely what the fuck is bongo cat
>>559486956I’m trans btw
>>559487858Yes solo is very poorly designed currently and is in need of an overhaul. >Spawns every 10 meters meaning half the lobby dies instantly.>Same number of exits as squads so every single one is camped every round.>Weapon, healing, and character abilities clearly balanced around trios.
>>559470972They used to be games for having impeccable enemy AI and variety. Like holy fuck the AI on reach is so good. Then destiny came along and it’s like they tuned enemy intelligence down to -100. This was what made me never pick up destiny. All the faggy grinding and looting and nonsense story I could ignore if the gameplay was good. But it simply wasn’t, because there’s no fun to be had fighting brainless enemies. Now they did it again in marathon, which is arguably a worse game to do it in since you’re gonna want to avoiding other players as often as possible, so surely you’d want the PvE element to be good so people get to actually enjoy shooting at things? But nope. They went for both brainless and limited in number enemies this time.
Is the Outpost timer the same for everyone or should I go for Level 12 ASAP?
>Stuck with a full stash because I can't get one fucking diode to upgrade my space.
>>559486956>defending Patrick Soderlund in current yearLMAO GET A GRIP TRANNY
EoS soon sisters!
Will there be a weekend bump.
somewhere on /vg/ … they are waiting>>559493143>>559493143>>559493143
>>559493160There already is another thread going
>>559493401>Error: You cannot delete this postOh well
i boughted, we're back
>>559472593>he sold it>he didnt bring it to the objective point to get free gold gearoh nononono
>>559484989If you like tarkov, but you’re not some one who jerks off to milsim or are tired of spending more time in your stash than in a raid this game is a very good alternative especially if you’re a console fag.My only real complaint so far is the menu is absolute ass and that the community still doesn’t know how to play after multiple betas, the server slam, and videos on YouTube covering everything.It’s hard to play with randos. You have to become a bit of a social butterfly to find a team of people who aren’t completely retarded and clueless. The other complaints about art style, ammo/med scarcity, ttk, and god knows what else are either people self reporting being clueless shitters with bad taste.Concerns about the game just rolling over and dying from poor reception I think are als pretty real. Seems like every live service game has died an early death and then you have what happened to concord, high guard, and others. There are a bunch of butt hurt destiny players and YouTube grifters cheering for the death of game they will never play.
