marathon is fun (:
Having a blast! :-)
selling my Marathon stocks
Will I get reported and b& if I do a really bad Vietnamese accent while hunting trios?
I almost bought it, glad I didn't.
trans rights!
Do you think they'll revert the "Forced reset every 3 months" idea? I know a few people who dropped the game because of it>>559485334Funny coincidence my girlfriend bought it for us and we've been enjoying it all day
Lower peak than Highguard kek
once a clearer picture of how content is released arises i will make my decision until now, i sniff glitch butt
Please post lots of reddit and twitter screenshots and spend a lot of time speculating about sales figures. Thanks.
>ayo finna stab u huwhyte boi
>>559485509its obvious they have to do something
>>559485529on it boss
>entire world aesthetic is based on tranny art
>>559485509>there are couples playing together while im stuck getting my shit kicked in soloITS NOT FAIR
Vros... why is the Burnt Peanut playing Apex instead of Marathon?
Is her name Glitch or Vandal?
>>559485587it's crazy how I've never played Apex Legends, and I can for the most part follow what the fuck is going onMeanwhile I tried to genuinely enjoy and play Marathon over beta weekend, and watched his streams and had no clue what was happening
>>559485579Find yourself a femanon.
>>559485613someone with the game can corroborate this by looking it up in the codec or whatever its called but vandal is the class of shell and glitch is the shell series
>>559485613the girl's name is Glitch, she's running the Vandal™ Shell
>bungie got fired from making their own game, halo, framed it like they willingly left >make a weaker clone called destiny, plagued with problems and instead of fixing them>destiny 2, suckers buy once again, vaulted items, removal of content, games on life support, dropped from their original buyer, sony buys them>marathon, suckers buy again and expect this to be differentyou uncs have cte from bungie beating you like abused spouses
>playing marathon>kind of enjoying it >kind of wishing there was more PvP>wish there were more teams>wish characters were more easily identifiable >realize im just wishing for Apex
If you’ve played Marathon or posted in /mg/, then you’re already trans.
This is trannyge right?
. . .
>>559485440Is it rough solo? Arc got pretty boring after a couple weeks. I'm used to tarkov solo, but the hacking problem is fucking awful.
I spent the past 8 hours shitposting marathon but I'm unironically having fun playing the gameStill posting the player numbers tho
The designs of the guns are so bad. Like I seriously can’t tell them apart.
tarkov general is laughing at us again
STEAM CHARTS WILL MAKE ME FLOP
>>559485768It's very rough. People will commit to kill you once they spot you and that is FUN for me but you can't escape someone who wants to turn every encounter into a life or death scenarioAlso everyone plays assassin because it disables autoaim for controller
>>559485807All the designs were stolen what do you expect?
im perfectly fine with my maleness but i would transform into glitch if i could. does this make me trans
I have just received word from the President that any doomposters and/or steamchart posters from this point on are officially double trans and triple jewish.
>someone is playing Destroyer in solos>he's actually killing everyone he seesJOHN MARATHON was the based choiceI KNEW IT
>>559485834MOM'S GONNA FREAK
>>559485348Vibe shift status?
>>559485904Solo Destroyers are scary if they use their movement abilities.
>>559485348Is that fuckin' Kyukiuwu?
>>559485829we arent russian so we get the last laugh
>>559485850everyone will be trans in the future, unironically, people yearn for being their true identity, we are just limited by technology, and people misconstrue that feeling with taking poison and mutilating themselves because they've been fed lies by the media and big pharma
>>559485579There's no way anon is being sincere, Marathon is the worst game you could possibly play with friends, much less your gf. See the cinematic to have an idea how this kind of game will actually just destroy your relationship.
>>559485905>marathon is below 49k alreadyIT'S FUCKING DEAD
>>559485905bro where is marathon, is this an old pic for trolling? haha you think that shit is funny? im having fun and you're mad
>>559485905bongo catgods... I kneel...
>>559485929>spending millions every second to protect israeli'd rather be russian
>>559485930Nope.Being trans is a dead meme
Aight this game made me seethe so much, as soon as legit cheats drop i'm using them 100% just to ruin the game for every single sweat.
>>559485984Then go to Russia? Damn
>>559485930I don’t think everybody would swap genders though. There are things I would change about myself but I wouldn’t become a girl.
>>559485905>Company bought by Sony for $3.6 billion vs solo dev working in his basement
>NONONONONO>WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT
>>559485840Literally nothing original in the game whatsoever it's kinda impressive. >stole the looting from Tarkov>stole the AI behavior from destiny>stole the art from some artist that they paid off and credited (lmfao)>stole the guns from destiny>stole the UESC designs from ULTRAKILL>stole the title of the game from the company filing cabinets Like it's genuinely baffling that this team had not even a single original idea. Fuck they even outsourced their hype trailers to someone that could actually make something of all this jammed together junk.
I am visualizing the poster count of this thread if the IP count was still a thing on this practically dead website.
>>559485956why so?
>>559486045trans isn't about gender, that's part of the media and big pharma lietrans could be something as stupid as like>actually I'm a dolphinor just>I want to be tallerit's just that it's not your true identity anymore, its altered or transitioned to something else
>>559485829just wiggle at them
>>559486026I don't want to cross the border
>they probably bought 50k bots thinking that was enough to hit 100k players and then the chart would just go up from there>and then only got 30k actual players
>>559486129What would your guess be? 10? 20?
>>5594862058.
>>559486098How many of them are actually people playing the game though? We know that Sony purposely inflates their steam charts for "success"
>>559486113They forgot to steal anything from Marathon
>>559486098i just played for 13 hours im sleepy
>>559485956I feel bad for you anon, like not only are you unable to not sperg out on your friends but you can't even fathom the idea there are people who can play these games with friends without crashing out on each other
>>559486239my guess >>559486191
>>559486098people have jobs, tomorrow is the weekend, comfy gaming, comfy marathon we will reach 500k players tomorrow and marathon will be a huge success
Guys I'm worried... Highguard had a higher peak than this and it shut down after a month
>>559486274sounds like you weren't having a sufficient blast enough to deprive yourself of sleep for the entire night on end
>>559486280can i get an iced latte with tick milk i mean tick milk i mean tick milk sorry i mean
been waiting for a match for the past five minutes i think the game is already dead like unironicallyi regret getting the deluxe
>>559486306good shitpost, almost believed you were being serious until you said 500k
>>559486309Why are you worried? You can’t let dumb shit like that stress you out. Life will continue even if Marathon doesn’t work out. It will be ok.
i am the ultimate game enjoyer, and ive played every game on earth and i know the good from the bad and...marathon is pretty good
>>559486356You've played less than 2 hours right? You can get a refund if so>he fell for the "You just have to play it for 12 hours before it gets fun" scam
sisters…is this true? is the mtx predatory? I’ve been having so much fun I didn’t even care about the cosmetics. https://www.reddit.com/r/Games/s/FhH1hfogVH
>>559486280I need glitches model to make blender porn with.
>>559486280>>559486135Women don't tolerate losing things and underperforming in tasks, unless both players are very good, or men, they won't be sticking around for long.Kinda funny that Bungie made such a chud centric game when they want to attract the complete opposite audience.
>>559486356don't beat yourself up too hard you could have bought the collector's box
>>559486427There's no play time limit for steam refunds as long as you have a good reason. 2 hour limit is only for automatic refunds. You guys can still get your money back if you played 10 hours.
>>559486447Don’t call us sisters. It seems really “le ironic” in a tryhardy kind of way.
>>559486482only a small penis trannies thinks like this, hint this isn't how women think and how you keep being exposed, SIR.
>>559486482im sorry but u sound rly stupid
> Bungie asks sites to delay Marathon reviews, with release date Steam player count below 100K
The obsession with steam charts and sales data is really only interesting if you’re the type of person who thinks $40 is a lot of money.
Marathon is so weird. The visuals and audio are sensory overload but there isn’t much of anything happening in the game.
>>55948662540 bucks is like 3 months pay for a third worlder so that makes sense.
What was the Destiny 2 peak just out of interest?
>>559486625>I don't mind spending $40 if it means I can eat shit, I love eating shit, are you upset you don't have $40 to spend on shit? I have so much money I eat shit everyday, peasant.lol actual shit eating troon
>>559485925>john marathon has a wstr with the melee buff mod >he uses the shield to get in your facewhat do you do if you don't have an emp nade
>>559486703316,750all-time peak 3.1 years ago
>>55948662540 bucks for a video game that might be a completely miserable time or dead in a month is too much money.On the other hand, 40 bucks of food is probably going to be good and I'll enjoy myself.
>>559486703On PC? 316k
there are people who played destiny for like 5k+ hours, and some of them would tell you some other game is bad
>>559486625>>559486687Arc Raiders is also $40
>>559486625I mean, if it's such a small amount of money, why didn't more people buy the game? Lmaooooooooooooooo
>>559486798bbbbecause they already boughted arc raiders baka!

Dad works for Sony.Songs gonna give them a month, if they can't stay above 70k they're pulling the plug on Bungie entirely and fully merge the people working on Destiny 2, keep them for a year or two before firing most if not all of them and then shutting down Destiny 2
>>559486625It’s a big deal because it’s Bungie. This is probably their smallest launch since Oni. And Sony took majority shares of them at 3.6 Billion. That was a big deal. Now they see there is no way they get a rerun on that investment.
43k
What was the Highguard peak just out of interest?
>>559486709It’s just a video game anon. You gotta relax. It’s a decent little multiplayer fps. Nobody is asking you to eat human doodoo from a butt. >>559486761Enjoy the food!>>559486779Never played it. Looks pretty okay. >>559486798Probably because they didn’t want to play it. It is a small amount of money though. That’s not really disputable.
>>559486884PEOPLE ARE GOING TO SLEEP, THATS ALL IT IS!!!!
>>559486894higher than this managed today~97k iirc?boy did that plummet f a s t though
>>559486847This is dad I don’t work for Sony
>>559486625>>559486936>It’s just a video game anon. You gotta relax.
>>559486947This is such a shifty excuse when there's an entire side of the ducking planet awake you dork
MY UNCLE (who has never laid a finger on me) WORKS FOR SONY AND HE TOLD ME (not while i was sitting on his lap) THAT BUNGIE WILL GET PIMPED OUT TO NINTENDO NEXT FOR A SUM NO LESS THAN FIVE BILLION DOLLARS
>>559486884>I was right about only 30k real players and the number is going to keep going down until 30k
>>559486947Do they all go to sleep at such a sustained rate over the hours? No other timezones to keep the count up?
>>559487002Only Americans have big cocks and big money, you cannot afford this amazing game.
>>559486993Thanks for quoting me. Sorry about your poop tantrum.
>>559487079this has to be a troll right, nobody really comes to 4chan and gets offended that people are shitposting
it's way too easy to farm thermals condolences to anyone who doesn't before they nerf it
>>559487126oops mandatory inventory and contract wipe in ninety days
/mg/ - troons, poop and sales charts
>>559486936> Nobody is asking you to eat human doodoo from a butt.Why would you type this what is wrong with you?
>Get to enjoy the game on my main monitor while watching retards literally spend their free time pooping themselves in the thread on my other oneWhat a cozy night
>>559487114Trolling outside of /b/ is not permitted. I don’t want to see any trolling.
I just realized they were so fucking lazy they didn't even make anything for steams points store, even basic shit like steam profile backgrounds.
>>559487175farding and shidding myself so hard rn ong wish u could smell it bb
Kinda bizarre that there's a subset of zoomers who grew up to be more obsessed with player numbers than their supposed "main hobby" of playing games. And you can find these trannies in every genre and community nowadays, from gacha to fighting games, management to casual phone games.What the fuck happened to zoomers?
>>559487168I just wanted to reassure that anon. He seemed really concerned about being made to eat brown stinky doodoo feces from a human butt. But there will be no poop eating today on my watch.
>be UESC>constantly attacked on all sides by corpo sluts
>>559487159that's 90 days of people who don't have thermals having to deal with silent hill fog
>>559487273They were raised on a diet of human poop, freshly squeezed out from a farting butt, shitting. Have some sympathy.
>>559487293Did they also just bring infinite resources over to Tau Ceti? All the bots getting constantly restocked and the shells just being infinitely printed over and over.
>>559487339oops nerfed in the next five on account of r*bbit moaning
bro is making imaginary people in his head
>>559487389It’s called a “tulpa” and she is my gf.
I am a rabbit shell moaning in perimeter... :3c
>>559487352When does india go back to sleep again?
>>559487372they use the elegoo filament you go down to the colony to collect to print more goybots
If they want reviewers to wait a month because the content now sucks, why the fuck didn't they just release it one month from now?
>>559487167how did you find my ai art before i posted it
POST YOUR ROOK KNIFE KILLShow are people knifing others as rook?
>>559487475SAAAAAR I NEED THIS GAME TO SUCCEEDNOOOOOO
>>559487465I never sleep, ’cause sleep is the cousin of death
>>559487475Fucking kek, it's just a straight crater. What are the chances those were actual bots?
>>559487586Extreme. Sony is knowing for pumping up steamchart numbers and now they're ditching because the game is TRASH
>>559487476But how? I mean the shells keep killing each other and destroying all their loot, what the fuck are they thinking?
>>559487586>>559487609Nigga its 1am on a weekday
>>559487586guaranteed? it takes a REALLY long time to get into a match that's not just the first map right now
If this game doesn’t succeed I’ll be forced to chow down in brown town. I’ll let your imagination paint that picture. >paintHaha yeah! More like painting the porcelain. And it fucking stinks bros, it smells so bad. And it’s hot. And wet. Hooooo boy. Just buy the fucking game. Just purchase Marathon and we won’t have any such problems over here.
>>559487586>bro it's a crater!1!!1!!!!bro look at these CRATERSevery game goes up and down, you retard
>>559487685Trios isn't even popping anymore.
>>559487678umm sweetie are you asking for logical and coherent science fiction??? bungie doesn't do that anymore ;^3
What do you think they'll cave in on first to try bring more people in?
>>559487586it's seen shitcoins hold their value longer than 24 hours
It's 9 am in europe chill
>>559487685So nobody else around the entire fucking planet bought the game? Must be very sad being Bungie right now knowing how much they spend on localization.
did they forget to market the launch of the game or are they saving it for the weekend?the server slam had more marketing around it than the fucking launch
>>559487730Probably a milked mode for getting milked
Cheeseburger
>>559487721mindbroken already lmfao
>>559487730outright PVE game modes, has to be. nothing else is gonna put a dent in any of this and it's gonna take them months on end to develop it atop in all likelihood
I watch a lot of TV commercials but they were mostly for DUKORAL and none were for MARATHON

Alright so how many people are being laid off? I think the company will still exist for sure but it's obvious they ain't getting $4 Billion out of Bungie. According to the 2024 layoffs they have ~850 employees at the company. What will they be left with?>No layoffs because they're secretly cooking another Live Service Slop and Sony CEO is that fucking delusional still.>Maybe 25% layoffs and down to ~600 people.>Full 50% team cut. Literally downsize half the company to 400.Or the Final Solution>Bungie gets shut down, layoffs, and employees swallowed up by Sony to be spread out elsewhere.
>>559487780They have been marketing the shit out of it, it's just that they fell for the shaming your audience meme and created a very hostile cult instead that keeps players away instead.
>>559487891all of them, liquidate this stupid ass company NOW
>>559487891hoping for a total shut down
>>559487891You’re underestimating this. The failure of Marathon will crash the global economy. There will be bread lines. This is the first step toward our Mad Max future.
>>559487909I didn't see many sponsored streams yesterdayit was funny how the game had literally twice the viewers on twitch than players so clearly there's some interestI wonder if they'll turn it F2P
>>559487730The forty dollar price tag
>>559487792I want to see Glitches fat DSLs wrapped around that cheeseburger sucking it dry.
>>559488061and leave everyone who paid in full out to dry?some early sales are the best that can be expected on that front and shit will be scandalous either way
>>559487876And don’t forget about the predatory bungo classic mtx
>>559487475SELL SELL SELL
>>559487987You are joking, but it may genuinely start a chain reaction that outright kills the AAA gaming industry, three concord like failures in a row is NOT healthy for the space and the markets are primed for a financial collapse soon. It's likely many game companies will be axed since it's the AI/tech investments that will suffer the most as well.
Has Bungie ever actually done anything wrong? They scammed a bunch of retarded Destiny 2 paypigs. Big whoop. I would’ve done the same.
39k
>>559488259they came to the opinion they were too good for halo once upon a timedestiny was the result and holy slopamole was that ever an abortion of a piece of scifi
>>559488259>Has Bungie ever actually done anything wrong?Making Marathon.
>>559488217I mean we literally saw E33 explode onto the scene and now StS giga mogging the $400m AAA game. If it happens, I don’t think we miss out on much to be honest.
>>559488259The Satanic imagery in Marathon should be enough
>>559488149I bought the dip
>>559488343>E33 explode onto the scenepure median average "goty" slop

>>559411640>>559411735>>559411865>>559413916You guys holding up okay?
>>559488343That's the point, AAA is failing and indies are taking all the liquidity (E33 was relatively indie). So the corporate side of games will likely die soon, which really can only be a good thing.
>>559488458You have like 250k players why do you need a trans femra like me there too?
>>559488323Ehh they made 5 good Halo games. I don’t need more than that. That’s better than most franchises.
>>559488513>e33 is indielol
>>559488458I'll come back once someone rips glitches model.
>>559487721they are just baiting dont engage, they will fuck off in like a day
>>559488102You'll get some Bungie coins to buy MTX with. If you want the game to have players, this is what it's going to take.
>>559488509not yet loser, wait for weekend
>>559488523bros abandoned the pedigree of startlingly well done and compelling self-contained games to get in on that live service sloppa mushit's unforgivable and here they are

What is bongo cat
Remember when Marathon was played for the first 2 hours....Don't forget....
>>559488790You got it right with the first part but wrong with the second part. >B-but the game will hecking fail without casuals!!!Not my problem
>>559485348need more sluts desu
>low TTK is a STAPLE of the genre, you MUST abideUsually getting premium currency in the goypass is a staple of those too.
>>559488901Right, now try and convince sony not to pull the plug on your game when bungie promised them fortnite 2.
37K, i'm refunding
>>559488796SATAN! DEMON! KIKE! BEGONE BACK TO HELL!
So considering Concord got killed within a month of launch, what kind of timeframe are we looking at here? The publisher is a somewhat well-known name so it'll probably last at least a bit longer, right?
>>559488990Why would I do that?
>>559489046two to three months
>>559489008say Christ is Lord.
>>559488796The game being a gnostic humiliation ritual is just literacy, faggot. Your soul is trapped by a demon (Oni) that keeps sending you to work for the 7 archons (the factions and the UESC) in an endless cycle of reincarnation and suffering you can't escape from. The meat eating moths are just another form of mockery, symbolizing how your soul keeps decaying over time with every death the longer you remain.Bungie has always been into occultism.
>>559489046At grand minimum it's going till season 2.If it crashes extremely hard before that you can expect a "marathon is actually good now?!" batch of yootube videos for season 2.
>>559489046they’ll definitely wait until the date that Bungie told the reviewers to wait, for their “Major Update” in April. after that it’s donezo and we’ll see the devs in mcdonalds
>>559489160Meds status?
>>559489114>“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven." - Matthew 7:21.I suggest you go back to basics. You're making the Father look stupid.

>>559489046Anthem limped for about a year before EOS so honestly, yeah 6-12 months before the game gets killed and then Bungie gets converted into a mobile game studio or something.
>>559489160TRVKE
>>559489046as funny as it would be they're not killing it Concord comparisons are silly, go look up what player numbers it had at launch if you forgot how much of a disaster it was(and Marathon probably hasn't even peaked yet since it's not the weekend)my take it they wait for the content drop they're embargoing reviews for, and if that doesn't help they'll cut the price first and then turn it F2Pif F2P doesn't save it then they could kill but realistically it probably just gets put into maintenance mode while Bungie pivots to Destiny 3
>>559489046>>559489105depends on sales and if they continue, they don't need active players, they just need people to buy and not refund. could be up for a year or two before they pull the plug, also depends on there server deals, what it is costing them to keep it running.
>>559489046>Concord was ~2 weeks>Highguard was about ~6 weeks.>That means Marathon will be ~18 weeks.Basicly about 4-5 months. Which seems about right. After the first reset resurgence 3 months in people will just never come back.
37k
>>559489307can they pivot to PVE or at least a massive endeavor towards aggression based matchmaking before it fizzles out to a near-terminal state?all that remains to be seen as far as i'm concernedthese lessons have been learned for them by others far ahead of time and went unimplemented.
>>559485701>bungie got fired from making their own game, halo, framed it like they willingly leftThey had a 5 game contract with Microsoft, they were sick of it by the end and wanted to move on as early as Halo 2, which was not the promised game already. Halo lore is actually not Bungies, Microsoft got the Fall of Reach novel written as part of marketing for CE without consulting Bungie, and they had to work with that for the rest of the games. So they kind of had their shit undermined from the start, it's understandable that they wanted to do something else.However, look at what we got with and independent Bungie. I have no idea why people wanted to play Destiny 1 or 2 for more than a few hours, but they were a success I guess. Pure overpromising.
>>559489046Phoned-in season 2 followed by maintenance mode. I don't think EoS before 2027 is likely but wouldn't rule it out either. This general probably won't exist in a month though
So this is the power of bungie..

>>559489527Maybe if they develop it quick enough. The game itself is pretty doomed to begin with desu. Live service titles rarely get the chance to slow burn develop and grow a player base.
>>559489646You said it, Marathon is over and nothing Bungie can do will save the game.

>>559489527I hope they wouldn't do us dirty, and if the game shutdown, push an update to let us play single player with the bots on the map to get through the contracts. But in these times that's child-like wishful thinking.
>>559485768I play Vandal solo, it can be pretty fuckin rough since 95% of the other players are playing the invisible piece of shit - it's enjoyable to take things slow though, and it's really satisfying to win cat and mouse with assassins. But you really have to be hyper aware of your surroundings and constantly listening for footsteps/door noises/loot opening sounds.One annoyance I have is that the AI are not reliable canaries, it's pretty common for an AI bot to trill an alarm from outside, and it turns out it was spotting me through 2 walls and a floor while I'm standing still. Or the turrets sometimes just aggro and start shooting at you despite not being able to see you, so they just shoot a wall, pointing anyone watching to exactly your location.
They need to add ammo crates or something dog I've got 2 vault unlocks and I'm still constantly having to sell random shit. It's not like I'm picking up tons of crap either, the quest rewards and codex throw so much shit at you.
>>559489886>>559489635I think I remember seeing these exact same posts when New World released

>>559490321>hyperniche gameThat's exactly why it's like this.
I'm confused about series and models. Like Glitch is a series and Vandal is a model from that series.So are all Glitches the same thing but Vandal is a specific individual person who is piloting a Glitch?Or is Vandal just a type of Glitch and we could get different types of Glitches like one who instead of slides she runs super fast who would be a Glitch series Runner model?

>>559490416Everyone is confused because they bastardised their vision for this stuff when people memed "hero shooter".They should have just stuck to their guns if they weren't going to pivot to full customisation, the "shell/series" thing was just a half assed attempt for Bungie to say "look they're not heroes!" when they obviously are.

>>559490576
I would point out that the supernatural is completely fake and none of it is real. How there is no reason to believe in any of it other than to shield yourself from the fear of death. But you predictable muthafuckas would just call me a reddit atheist or maybe a satanist if we’re feeling exotic today. I know how this game goes. So instead I shall say nothing.
>Extraction shooters are hyperniche, DON'T look at Arc Raiders numbersKWAB
>Christcuckery Explains the schizo doomposting at least
>>559490723Alright, let's see the KJV:>"21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven." - Matthew 7:21It's exactly the same meaning.So you can bitch and scream here on a video game thread on 4chan all you want, but unless that is the will of the Father, you're wasting your time and energy.

>KJVprot nonsense. miss me with that megachurch shit.
>>559490456I see.Rape is a bit cringe though. It's literally why Marathon is dying.
Arc Raiders is the WoW of extraction shooters.
34k
>>559490425>well yeah but it's Bungie 80k won't cut itKinda just unfortunate reality, Bungie has hundreds of devs on this game alone, just staffing development is in the tens of millions annually. I like the game, but it either has to spawn another 150k concurrent players or cut some of the fat to actually be a net positive. I doubt Sony wants to just endlessly float them along for no real gain.
Dead gameServers shut down in a weekConcord 3Highguard 2
>>559491054Consoles, everyone always forgets about consoles.
listen... (i actually enjoy gaming and) i bought marathon and had fun playing w/ my friends today. but ~35k CCU is actually insane. how is that even possible? lol
>>559489607When the war with Iran is over the numbers will be 50% higher than the D2 peak.
>>559491029Marathon is the FFXIV of extraction shooters.
>>559490939>>559490916This game very, very clearly should have been something like The Division, but nobody remembers that game despite it essentially creating a perfect formula for PVPVE with Dark Zones.As is, 3 maps (nobody but sweats will get cryo archive lets be real) is fucking nuts given that Tarkov launched with like 10.
>>559491140It's dead hours. Arc only has 75k now.
>>559491140its just boring its fun for a few hours but what then? theres no point in playing marathon beyond unlocking the major factions at least not til there are a lot more maps and or raids
>>559491109>mara = con/high>thon = cord/guardMIND FUCKING BLOWN AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA STOP THE PRESSES
Bungie should just add a sex minigame. With full penetration and all kinds of sex moves. You think I’m shitposting, but I’m not. There has never been a AAA game with full-frontal penetration. I’m talkin full-on X-rated porn minigame. It would be a media circus. There would be articles and debates and it would be a really big controversy. People would buy the game out of sheer novelty and curiosity. They would sell so many copies.
>>559491219if that mattered arc raiders would have died week 2
>>559491274nah arc had the stella montis unlock event like right away and kept adding on more modifiers etcits stale now of course but arc at launch had a lot more to do
>>559491218i wouldn't mind if the game stabilized at like ~2k concurrent if i knew the devs weren't about to close down the studio
>>559491257>There has never been a AAA game with full-frontal penetration. I’m talkin full-on X-rated porn minigameShut the fuck up Dennis.
>>559490939It was a pve-only game at first. They jerry-rigged the pvp part much later in the dev cycle.When I watched Cohh play all he did was run around with free kits and constantly say "Friendly? Hello? Friedly? Friendly? I'm friendly hello!" in the VC. Like wtf is the point of pvp then.Then I watched summit and the guy would kos everything which of course looked like seal clubbing since almost no one was fighting back.
>>559491161I'd say it's more like the FFXI of extraction shooters. Clearly aping an even older game (Tarkov to XI's EverQuest) while trying to iterate and add some QoL to it.
>>559490863>>559491461Can you retards fuck off?Just because you were indoctrinated when you were a kid doesn't mean rest of the world should deal with your bullshit, get lost.
>game is called marathon>players are called runnerswho is the genius at bungie coming up with this profound fucking shit holy goddamn fuck give him a raise i am in awe, truly
>>559491449if Marathon was actually aping Tarkov it would have been way better game but as always with extraction shooters wanting a slice of Tarkov's pie it has a depth of a puddle the issue is that it's shallow while at the same time still being a pretty "hardcore" game with it's PVP focused gameplay that's why Arc Raiders succeeded, it wasn't deep either but the gameplay was casual enough to match

>>559492038I don't think it's possible to do quickly. The maps are on our hard drives but stuff like loot placement is all server side so that they can tweak things without updating the game client. Same with loot as rewards.If they left us with a version of the game where you wonder around, loot, shoot clankers, worl through contracts, and the multiplayer was just gone, that would be acceptable. But for £35 I paid lmao. And they couldn't shit that out fast enough, before you even get into the fact there's no financial incentive to do so.

>>559493091I agree but i don't think they would have released it in this state if they thought the same, my only guess left is that they are putting their money on the cash shop to make their money back.

Destiny 2 had 71k which is close to Marathons launch numbers and that was around 3 months ago and its doesn't even peak at 8k anymore. This shit is dead.

>>559493702Bungie has a lot of lifers. Take a look at reddit, both the main sub of the game, and random Marathon threads in other gaming subreddits, nerds desperately defending their favorite company are out in full force.
What's Marathon like? Do the people here that are playing it having fun? What about the people who played it and hate it? Why did you hate it? I'm curious and want to play it...
>>559493712>everyone played 10 hours straight before going off at almost the same timeThis 100%, absolutely, no doubt had to be botted
>>559493712>the game legit had 80k people on at launch>every person who bought it played 10 hours>the player count didn't drop significantly at all for 10 hoursdoes that guy realize he's arguing that basically no one bought the game?
>>559493817>What's Marathon like?It's an extraction shooter focused on teams of 3 on relatively small maps>Do the people here that are playing it having fun?Yes

>>559494025This game promises to do a wipe every 90 days so no.
PvE mode when?
>>559494025All you ned to worry about in Marathon is to not die.
>>559494068ok thanks for letting me know to throw this shit into the garbage like all the other seasonal gaas games
>>559494085ah ok so no stupid shit like if you extract too early it doesn't count and it reverts all your mission/quest/task progress?
>>559493984They still run D1 servers so unless Bungie gets axed or the japanesw business men are exhausted of Bungie's constant fuckups, the game is going to go into maintenance mode at most.
>>559494178Huh? Is that a thing?
>>559494025This is one of the most shilled games ever to exist>91% positive rating>nobody bought itLMAO
The marathon comeback deserves to be studied
>>559494201yesand if you go into a raid naked all pve enemies know your exact location and hunt you downand if you trade an item with a friend it becomes unusable for quests and hideout upgradesand if you camp in a bush for too long the game literally sends santa claus pve boss to murder you
>>559494207It's that high because this game is lightning in a bottle. You just need to give it a 2.1 hour chance.
>>559494178what the fuck you're telling me Tarkov has that?
>>559493984>>559494001>>559494197came here out of curiosity and because of goonerbrain because of OP mp4was going to post this about Destinythey still host Destiny 1 and 2 servers and are doing fucking soulless sellout Star Wars paid cosmetics collabs in D2even if I uninstalled Marathon within 30 minutes of trying it, no matter how much doom and gloom from normies or whatever I don't genuinely believe it's going to get EOS'dto those of you who enjoy it, you're probably safe
>>559493817It's a 3 man extraction shooter with low ttk, forced wipes and its sweaty. They say its a pvpve game but the focus is almost entirely on pvp. If you like that and have two other friends who want to sweat with you you'll like it.Personally I hate it because its not a solo game. They added solos and I got it to play it solo but the game is blatantly not designed to actually be played solo.Also, the games very unfinished to the point Bungie asked reviewers to wait an entire month for them to try and fix it and put out the two other maps before they make their reviews.
>Recon is bad
>>559494281>and if you go into a raid naked all pve enemies know your exact location and hunt you downsounds silly, why?>and if you trade an item with a friend it becomes unusable for quests and hideout upgradesmarathon does this but stuff you drop from your loadout is "borrowed" so you can't sell items to people and shit (destiny had a large market for raid carries and shit so it's not surprising)>and if you camp in a bush for too long the game literally sends santa claus pve boss to murder youthis is just funny
>>559494303marathon will go down that route too as players find new and more creative ways to avoid pvping to progressso the devs only way to fix it will be to punish and restrict players more and more
Only killing those, who call an extract.Solo only.Camping only.Recon only.
sweaty, babymaking sex with recon
>>559494430Why do they do that? Arc Raiders doesn't do any of that shit and its way more successful then the two combined. You think they'd try to copy the most popular one.
>>559494382who the hell was saying "lady who acquires you through walls" was bad in the "person who acquires other person first wins" game >>559494479she's made out of plastic man
>>559494382you are a cancer killing this game
>>559494303>xhe doesn't knowlel
>>559494485because they think the only way to have fun is to pvpand since pvp = fun, anyone who doesn't engage in pvp is playing the game wrongand if you play the game wrong, it is nikita's I mean the devs job to force you to play the game right
>>559494497>who the hell was saying "lady who acquires you through walls" was badOne faggot>>559492473>>recon, the hottest class, is also the worst class>>559494505>you are a cancer killing this gameThank you
>>559494382fucking based anon retard, I would buy you a beer if I could.
>>559493702Bungie is a recognizable brand redditors can base their whole identity around, these people dont care about the product they just want theur identity validated and for that purpose Marathon MUST BE a good game
>>559493774The official Discord is a cesspool of delusion. If you don't fully drink the kool-aid they cry that you're a bad actor trying to kill the game.
>>559494479This but brutally face fucking Glitch and her DSLussy.
>>559494370I want to say pvpve is a cursed genre but arc made it work. Bungie has made deliberate design decisions to encourage KOS and low cooperation.
I'll withold judgement until Burnt Peanut streams the launch .
>>559493498>>559494382A-autist sama... I kneel
LFMAO this fucking peanut guy is such a cowardly faggot, shilled for the game for months crashed the fuck out at his audience for not liking the game and ended up not playing it on release. Romans were right about prostitutes and actors.
>>559494627imagine eating her succulent pussy until it dribbles juice down your chin like an ripe peachoooohh baby
>>559494662arc's strategy to get people to like extraction was to do things to discourage mindless pvp so the unique part of the genre (social sandbox) shines more marathon's strategy was to focus on pvp but smooth out the process of getting to pvp as much as possible. it's just a solid shooter at its core which is why I think it has a base but it's not going to leap out at people as being special the way arc did
>>559494627I've raped Vandal at extract(Recon only, camping only)
>>559494714didnt they uglify and gorillafy her in the final game
>>559494694vtubers and vtuber fans were rightburnt peanut is fucking trash entertainment and a fucking GAY FAGGOT BITCH COCKSUCKING ASTROTURFED VIEWBOTTING LOSEReven if you hate the traditional vtubing niche what he does is so much more fucking insufferable and gay, 35? year old man doing fucking annoying orange shit with goofy ass faggot 13 year old catchphrases from 2001 like "MI BUNGHOLE" or whatever garbage he spews
What’s the best shell if you’re a shitter who can’t aim? Don’t say Rook, he’s different
>>559492416how can one man be this based
>>559494815Assassin. Just cloak/throw smoke and run up and knife them. If you're in solos you deal more damage with the knife than a gun does.
turns out the wallhacks hero is strong in the "if someone sees you before you see them, you die" game
>>559494662Arc made it work by making pvp and pve both fun with cool enemies to fight and cool bosses. TTK is also high enough you don't get one tapped by bush nigs so even if you get jumped theres still a fight which is fun. PvE enemys in arc are also strong so you're encouraged to group up with other people to take down shit like a rocketeer or bosses like the queen.In these other pvpve games pve is basically an afterthought, which seems especially fucking stupid for Marathon which is supposed to have end game raid maps unless instead of cool enemies or a big boss to fight you're just going to be doing puzzles and not get snuck up on by another party during it.
>>559494815>What’s the best shell if you’re a shitter who can’t aim?Recon, wait for Spider, hear footsteps, throw Spider, shoot at Spider hitmarker.Don't throw the spider, until you hear enemy feet. If you hear the feet, the spider will 100% throw him off. Or hit him.
>>559494910My spider usually gets caught on walls and shit…
>>559494872>Assassin. Just cloakShut the fuck up you monkey.Recon shits on Assasin, you ape
>>559494893i don't think arc really works as a pve only game, they said it themselves, the game was boring- but they're strong ENOUGH to make pvp encounters more interesting and encourage some cooperation
>>559492416Upload youtube highlights of you doing it, i'd watch it.
>refund deniedit's over...
>thief visor sees through smoke lol eat shit assassins
>>559494893>pve is basically an afterthoughtUESC are strong as fuck and will absolutely fuck your shit up. i dont know how that is an afterthought.
>>559494989>Upload youtube highlights of you doing it, i'd watch it.I have 46 videos, all extract kills. Will upload with sound on streamable when I trim them. It's a lot
>bring in my own loadout for the first time>2 retards immediately get UESC reinforcements call in and job immediatelyI see why people play solo now. I think I might just play trios and not ever stick close to the retards.
>>559494993yeah i think thief and recon are both really strong in solo solely because assassins are everywhere and otherwise theyre gonna fuck your shit up.
>>559494760like this?
>>559494801To play devils advocate a little here, the guy does have some funny clips from when he played Tarkov, but that's pretty much it, if you tune in on his stream its almost impossible to tell if he's actually there or muted half the time pressing buttons on a soundboard.
>>559494995scavs in tarkov can also one shot you through class V helmets with a tozdoesn't make them anything more than just an annoyancd
>>559494962Like no one plays Recon, dummy. Even less know when to use her scan ability. Even less will have it up specifically when you fight her.
how to reliably get blue items? do I need a full loadout of green items for blue stuff (e.g backpack) to start dropping?
>>559495073Post the rape one please
>>559495076no they cant, you moron lmao. they can shoot you in the FACE, but its so easy to get class 2 face protection that regular scavs are a total nonissue in tarkov.
>>559494519projecting your own delusions, troon?
>rape will make me god
>>559495125>throw drone when you hear someone>use ult when you hear someone >free winwow so complicated. it took one second of thought to figure out how to use xray vision to my advantage
>>559495125Silence, shitter.
>>559494995i don't think they're an afterthought but the PVE isn't as good as arc for interesting encounters, arc really does it right where there's stuff you have to operate AROUND not just because they're noisetraps but because there's a huge chance of them killing you if they see you at the wrong time. uesc only really kill me if i make a really, really stupid decision, not because one happened to see me as i was taking a walk
was bungie's intention to make a small game for a niche audience?
>>559494970Yeah, that's the secret sauce. But marathon really fucked up with the low TTK here. Enemy frequency is an issue too and they never really guard any loot, but the main issue is the low TTK meaning you can never disengage. If you get hit, you will die or kill them.
>>559495129All random. The risk level of the map increases quality. Gun rarity is decided by attachments not the gun.
>>559495154look, the whole point of scavs is to encourage more pvp by making noise and letting other people know where you aresame appies to marathon, the only purpose for the existence of pve enemies is to lure in 3rd parties so that pvp fights can happen
>refund denieddaddy... paypal me 40 dollar please...
why do health/shield packs cost so much? what am i supposed to eb doing?
>sink a ton of resources in an extremely niche ultracompetitive type of gameplay that repels everyone but the most hardcore sweats>and a very bold eclectic artstyle that would immediately repel realism and anime fags (90% of gaymers)I'm impressed Bungie had the balls for it, could've just made a mobile game.
>>559495125>Shitters don't use the best character in the game. >This is badLmfao, big recon ASS is mine exclusively
>>559495256And 80k peak 30k off peak is really good for a niche hardcore sweaty game. But bungie isn't an indie studio.
>>559495227another thing about arc though is that I don't like the pvp much in it, lol. the third person camera and the high TTK, as said, discourages combat. I like pvp much more in marathon because first person means positioning information is a two way street and engagements tend to be quick and lethal.
>>559495250so really my best bet is lockdowns/wait for outpost to drop?
>>559495256The purpose is to make the game dangerous in more than one regard. That's the main purpose of AI in extraction shooters. Tarkov, outside of things like raiders and bosses, has weak AI relative to players. ARC has INTERESTING PvE relative to players. Marathon has dangerous AI relative to players. It's all different permutations of the same fundamental mechanic. All AI in ARC are trivial once you understand how to fight or avoid each of them. USEC are much more dangerous than any ARC.
If you play solo do you still get matched vs. trios? Or only other solos?
>>559495397Only Rook gets matched with other triosSolos is only versus solos
>>559495397Only solos.Unless you play Rook in which case you are only matched with not-solos.
>>559495397Only other solos but if you play rook you get put into trios as a solo.
>>559495383idk if i agree, a rocketeer seeing you is menacing pretty much always, uesc are a step above destiny enemies but they still won't put much effort into pursuing you and rarely present a ton of threat at range
>>559495383>Tarkov, outside of things like raiders and bosses, has weak AI relative to players.Yes. Because in Tarky the lowest rung of scav is meant to be a loot drop for players with little or nothing, so even if you started off with a knife you can get a shitty gun and some ammo.Try raiding labs with a knife and you'll see some real shit
>>559494872>Assassin. Just cloakDon't listen to shitters. Recon rapes Assasin, easy
>>559495361If you haven't noticed, AAA titles in general have been totally bombing lately. Bungie might be simply giving smaller dev teams the freedom to pursue passion projects. Marathon is a really good game but it's a surprisingly hardcore shooter -- probably more hardcore than lots of people were expecting. It's not like the developers didn't know this. I think some AAA studios are moving away from putting all their eggs in the big Hollywood'esque "experiences" basket. Instead of putting out one huge fag extravaganza every year or two that gets totally annihilated by everyone, it seems like a perfectly valid use of their developer talent (still some of the best in the business) to let them build what they actually want to build instead of forcing them to paint by numbers. Just a thought.
the story contract objectives are almost unbearabe in their tedium desu.
>>559495489This wasn't unique to recon
>>559495375Yeah the loud "COME OVER HERE AND KILL ME FOR LOOT" alarm events give better loot. Some of the lockbox stuff is ok but not fantastic. Boss enemies will also srop better stuff. Captain enemies seem to drop blue stuff pretty often.
>>559495489why do you keep shooting them at finisher range after they're downed? finishing them takes the same amount of time and conserves your ammo, also makes them seethe more
>>559495383>All AI in ARC are trivial once you understand how to fight or avoid each of themnone of the UESC bots fly and shoot rockets at you, getting caught in the open with those guys is a one way trip back to the lobby.
>>559495489why don't you finish them with a knife, you are wasting ammo
If I just want to play solo and free kit for awhile, who is the best to play? Is it the guy who can heal?
No fucking point to bringing my own gear if I'm gonna get instakilled by someone I never even get to see every single time
>>559495383look, pve enemies in these games are like story mode in PoE or diabloit's something for new players to wow atyou engage with it occasionally in the endgame out of necessity or obligationbut everyone who plays the game for a long time brush it off and forget about them
>>559495607>why do you keep shooting them at finisher range after they're downed? finishing them takes the same amount of time and conserves your ammo>>559495649>why don't you finish them with a knife, you are wasting ammoI shoot jizz in their face. To establish dominance(made him my bitch).It's ejaculation. A cumshot to the face. Humiliation ritual.
>>559495661i feel like everyone is pretty solid in solo and brings their own strengths, destroyer probably brings the least as he thrives with a team
>>559495661Play Vandal. She can double jump which is kind of amazing in solos for sneaking into places.
>>559493332I did this and the fucker literally despawned in the smoke because I'd spent too long dealing with another runner that showed up after I used the terminal. I was so fucking confused.
Just bought the game what am I in for
someone said the sponsored packs arent supposed to be infinite?? i assume they mean the paid ones for 2.5k, 4k, etc.but buying the equivalent loot is like 5k+ who the fuck has cash like this? am i supposed to be running around with a knife if a lose a few in a row?
>>559495914A lot of lesbian subtext and satanic imagery
>>559495914apex legends 2
>>559495914take a deep breath and embrace deathyou're playing to do objectives in between sessions and take out what you can,death is not a big deal, get used to it
>>559495743you're an idiot
>>559495661He's good with free kits because you can heal yourself with the drone. Free kits don't have healing items, or have so few that you have to engage with UESC or loot boxes just to heal yourself later. I really like the drone's animations, it's cute. It even lowers its light from the monitor and changes the stance when the shell is crouching. The ult is rather pointless, but his tactical and second trait are busted for solo
i have a feeling this game uses SBMM because i eat shit while fully kitted out in trios but every trio i fight as rook is seemingly brain damaged and playing on mute
>>559495914My wife Glitches game.
>>559495914getting instakilled by invisible people
>>559495661Triage is baby's first character. You can just throw a heal on yourself and ignore half the gameplay because of it.Solos is harder than trios in general. Since they half-assed the release of it.
What do you do when the ghost infiltrators just spawn on you? It feels like GG. They can see through smoke...
>>559496079You know the ult works offensively too, right? Instagibs shields.
>>559496060Swallow it
>>559495784even destroyer has nice qualities, getting around quickly with tac sprint, soloing pve for contested extracts, reacting to someone shooting at you with barrier if they miss or don't have a good ranged gun, bullying people who can't keep you out if you have a shotgun
>>559496269Yeah, but there is no point when guns do that too. Not as fast, but the difference is just a few milliseconds, especially in low value lobbies, blue shields are still too rare to see. And guns are more reliable because of the long animations to cast and switch back to a weapon after the ult.
>average person posting steamcharts in this threads stream
>>559496420It shits on UESC commanders though if you're not in a blue shield lobby.
>>559496550amazing AI generated thumbnail...
how many players are there in a solo match? I think there's like 3 or 4 teams in trios
>>559496550>zero pvp loot grindI get why you would want to play like that in arc raiders but why the fuck would anyone want to watch that
>>559496665One lobby I killed 5 and one person escaped so I'm going to guess 8.
>>55949666518 players in both trios and singles, which is why solos plays like complete trash.
>>559493959"Manholes are usually on public roads" always crack me up
>>559496550>Zero PvPNot when I'm reverse-boosting myself into those lobbies
this entire genre is just nigger simulatoryou nigger around on your tippy toes until you can nigger someone who has no idea you're there so you can let out a triumphant nigger ohh ohh ahh ahh as you nigger their shit.this game goes to the next level and literally gives you characters that amplify nigger playstyle with invis and literally stealing from the pockets of others with your nigger drone fuck this nigger game and i hope nigger bungie meets total nigger death.
almost all the actual content in the game is basically not possible for solo players. ignoring whatever insane bullshit later story contracts require in a single run, basically every single map event is impossible unless you want to get annihilated by bosses or another player.
Marathon is more entertaining, this plays like a clunky indie game
obviously botted slop mogged by an indie card gamerape bungiedefile maratroons
>>559496806im not sure what i think about the killer ai. i like pve being difficult, but having some terminator follow me around and fuck me in a pvp fight is gay

>>559496953>>559496993Both of you bend over right now
>game is literally about a libertarian wet dream future where you mass murder literal zogbotsI didn't know bungie was this based
>>559496852it's not even an issue of killer AI. I played up to like 80k vault value on the server slam and did all content. I can reliably clear entire POI's full of ghost UESC with free kits solo.you are flatly not able to kill the event bosses. some of them like the scorched one in dire mash have mechanics like an unbreakable overshield that blocks all damage from the front. but more importantly, even for things like wraith captains or normal captains with purple overshields,they are literally Destiny 2 patrol or strike bosses dropped into this game, mechanically UESC is simple, they're just fucking bullet sponges with dumb immunity gimmicks. more importantly in solo, everyone in the area can hear you fighting them and then come gank you while you are helpless. because of this I predict that this game is going to have an unusually severe drop in player numbers. everyone who doesn't want to play in a group is fucked.
>>559497042A true patrician game
>>559496986we love the rattler
>>559496986bungie would have sold more skins if marathon was over the shoulder/3rd person like arc
>>559496720It needs to be half that for solos. During the slam we could get three or four people converging at a single POI.
>looney troons unironically think the weekend will save themdid you faggots learn nothing from the server slam?
>>559497042it's transparently botted to such a degree that even I, someone who has literally never said that about steam reviews, says that.peak launch of 80k too
Seething Destincels ITT pretend to be troons and claiming to be Marathon players.I see right through you, shitters.
>>559496550who could possibly find this fun?
>>559497152Thank god Marathon isn't a clunky copy of The Last of Us and Red dead.Arc is clunky as fuck, eurojank trash. And i camped in Arc for 300 hours
>>559497159Wouldn't that make the map feel empty then?
>Heat system will stay overbearing and shit intentionally because Bungie WANTS you to spend more time moving around with your knife out for speed and thus incentivize players buying knife skins.This is the type of Jewry I expected from Bungie.
>>559496752Based. Did that guy launch a flare as he died? The fuck was that? Alerting people that a hecking anti-fun chud is here?
It's not fair... it should have been us!!!!
>>559497434>Did that guy launch a flare as he died?Everyone auto-launches flares when dying in Arc
>>559497370It feels empty because it looks bleak and dead and AI just afks until you show up. 16 for a map doesn't feel like much but everyone is funneled into each other fast for a death match. The ship has kind of sailed on marathon fixing the problem of the average solo simply not wanting to deal with four of five pvp firefights per round.
>>559497434all raiders launch distress flares as they die. it's yet another thing to discourage pvp (the hordes will collapse upon ye) but there are also fake distress flares to lure people hunting flares into traps which is funny
>>559497541It sounds like instead of discouraging pvp it just makes sense. You kill someone and you take the risk that you need to get the hell out of dodge with your ill gotten gains before you find out about fucking around. It's insane how well they managed the cooperation vs competition feel in arc.
So yeah, Arc is a clunky, janky, piece of shit.Marathon is smooooothSmooth and snappy
>>559497667lightning in a bottle, if you will.

>>559498448spiderdrone is effectively a free grenade, if you suspect someone is in a building, throw it inecho pulse is great for scanning buildings BEFORE you attack them, only really use it if you suspect players are in thereshe's the "information" class, allows you to plan accordingly
>>559498560No amount of gear will save you from subhumans shooting you in the back.
>>559498576mental illness image
You're telling me the Tarkovfags insisting that we must play slow/sneaky and not engage with PVE are coming from a game with run through, marked and cursed and a PVE monster that facefucks you for playing smart?Lol
>>559498560the main downside to the free kit is that it gives you fuck all health shields and ammo
>>559498448>What should I know when playing Recon?You should lower the music volume, and dialogue volume to zero. Don't use your abilities until you hear someone running.First use the Wall-hack, then throw the Spider at the red-dot. Give the spider 2(two) seconds.Once the runner hears and looks at the spider, start shooting. You don't need the spider to jump on him, you just want to catch him off-guard.For PvE, the spider can kill one bot. And you don't need to waste your Wall-hack on the bots.
Thief looks fun to play, how is it for a solo player with shit aim?
>PvE too hard for Tarkovfags>PvP too hard for ArcfagsGud
>>559498560no meds, no ammo, no cardio kits and guns can actually get significantly better with mods like if someone hits u with a chem nade what are you gonna do? it's over.
>>559498637mogged x10 by a card game post
Everything is too hard for Arcfags
HOWDOIMAKESPIDER DRONESMART
>>559498824>>PvP too hard for ArcfagsFalse, ex-Arcfag is extracting with kills
>>559498880Don't be dumb when you throw it
Arcfags are the worst blight.
>>559498127the game was designed for trios
THE MAP IS WAY TOO FUCKING SMALLWhy am I getting into engagements with FOUR DIFFERENT SOLO NIGGERS in TWO MINUTESTWO MINUTESFOUR PEOPLE
>they dont realise destroyer shield puts them in 3rd person view, allowing you to peak corners without exposing yourself
>>559498945Which map? Perimeter?

>>559498880You don't need the spider to be smart.>Throw spider in the direction of footsteps>Wait a second>Runner looks at the spider>Shoot the runnerThe Spider is a Decoy
I've only heard proximity chat used for taunting people, have anyone heard otherwise
bungie drones will learn their lesson soon enough, this game wont last half a year.
>>559499028if i think a rook is stalking me an i'm at extract i offer to let them leave with me
>>559498910>the game was designedI don't care. You think I'll listen to devs, like a good boy?I reverse boosted the matchmaking in Arc, killed everyone in PvE lobbies all day.I'll keep killing everyone on Marathon, when they try to extract.
>>559498971Yes. I defeated three of them and lost to the fourth of course. Like this shit is just infuriating. Getting killed after killing 3 people in rapid succession, no breather. Fucking hell
>>559499028I heard a rook say something like "hello" to me (rook too).
>Stop>Listen>Throw spider towards loud, running feet>Shoot towards the sound of feet Easy
what's the point of thief? she brings very little to a team because her drone is worthless in fights and even in solos she's not good enough to pick over assassin
>>559498605But you have to give away your own position with recon by using the scan, you let everyone know that you are there, where you are vaguely and they you are playing recon.A bit too many downsides desu, I think scans should be invisible to increase the value of recon's "tells you when you are scanned" passive.
>>559499028During the slam I was on with my IRL and a random and some dude was hiding in the Nucal tic cave shit talking us from inside then we stormed the place and smoked him and we were all yelling and laughing.It was fun.
>>559499165She's got some verticality with hook i guess, also some type of scan.
>>559499165drone is good for scoutinggrapple is good for mobilityvisor cucks assassin and lets you steal the good loot from your teammates before they even know it was there
>>559499165grapple hook is crackedthief vision makes looting easier and sees THROUGH smoke, also scrambles your vision on sight which can actually be a pain in the ass pickpocket drone is good scouting in a game where you're often risking your ass to peek an angle
It took me 2 whole days of running both normal and rook runs to get 5 diodes out with me but fuck did it feel good when i finally managed to
>bring gear>get instakilled by someone invisible or camping a tiny spot>none of it matteredthis is why this game will fail
>>559499240>grapple hook is crackedIf you know where the enemy is. If you only knew how many people panicked, and grappled towards me, when I ambushed them.
>>559499209>>559499240oh shit her visor reveals invisibility? i didn't realize but that actually makes her a lot more useful, gonna try some soloes with her
>>559499054>if i think a rook is stalking me an i'm at extract i offer to let them leave with meWould kill both of you with pleasure
>tfw the vandal rocketjump schizo gave up and refunded
>>559499298I just insta requeue with whatever free kit the game gives me.There's no point in spending even a couple of minutes making your loadout when you can lose everything in a blink of an eye without even being able to fight back.
>>559499413hope u brought emp grenades because i've got two layers of shields
>>559499413>erm bro im hecking exfil camping im going to kill you at extraxt bro im going to make you refund bro by camping exfil bro u mad bro u mad broHoly shit shut the fuck up no one gives a shit you retard
>>559499298literally every single such game just play free kits until you feel really confident, and then play safe until you don't mind gambling with the loadout you bring. you'll get there, don't worry.
never use the loot you extract with--wait I should just play apex legends
lmao
>watch 2 teams firefight>got no ammo, so stalk closer with nothing but my knife>once the firefight dies down 2 players are looting corpses>sprint at them while howling like a retard in open comms>one of them flicks around like crazy with his aim, down the other and slice him up before he gets me downI really hope I frightened him kek, in retrospect I should have gone straight for the other guy who was up instead of stabbing a bit more at the one that was downed.
>>559499773you are like a little baby
>>559499298Are these types of comments from people who never played extraction shooters before?It happened in Arc, it happened in Tarkov, it will happen here.
>>559499845I have both you missed the point retard. Less than 30% of the players have managed to exfil 7 times in their lifetime.
how do you get MONEY? items are worth like $100 but a 3 pack of health kits is like 1100... let alone the rest of a loadout
>>559499916If you can't exfil go play rook and loot the map
>>559499916Do contracts?
>>559499960how does rook work? is it that easy?
>>559499916>enter with free kit>exit with whatever you can grabsimple as. my hauls range between 500-1500, though I am only playing the very first noob map. the most expensive thing I've seen was a blue thing worth 1k, though I'm fairly certain there are more expensive things even at that level.
>>559499916Pickup the vanity auto sell items, they usually have good values.
>>559499846Yes and to them meta progression and a variable pool of resources and factions seem like alien concepts. I bet none of them even realize that the rarity of the weapon increases/decreases according to the mods and accessories you plop onto it, not that it's just inherently better straight out the box.
>>559499996Yeah. You usually appear late in the map where everyone and everything is dead. So you just loot and exfil.
>>559499916Don't buy shit besides upgrades Just loot and do contracts
>>559499993how much money do you have from 'doing contracts'?
>>559499996Sneak around and get lootDo a guarded exfil and jack off with the uesc until you can leave
>>559500054Usually a fair amount. CyAc contracts are the easiest to do besides MIDA
>>559499846Tarkov is similarly shit and plagued with hackers. Arc at least has a decent TTK so you can fight back.
re: making moneyive been playing trios with randoms and its rough, i guess ill try solo
>>559499876His point is that less than 1/5 of players played at least 21 games..
>>559499916don't spend money on health kits, just gather sparkleaf and barter with nucal, you only need one flower for 3 kitsobviously buy the free daily health/shields nucal upgrade too if you haven't yet
>>559500106Should also be noted that the Cred reward upgrades for faction oriented contracts are relatively cheap and the first two do add quite a chunk on top.
>buy in now>wait for the inevitable f2p revamp next wipeDecisions, decisions...
Thief=Triage>Assassin>Recon>Vandal>DestroyerRook>All
>>559499845>complete runsBro died
>>559499996You spawn late but also its in trios matches and people that stayed in that late are expecting you to appear
Are the numbers really that bad for this game? there's almost 40k people playing and it's really early in the morning, literally same numbers as Nightreign. The peak players is pretty low however, peaking at around 80k on steam. Do you guys notice it takes too long matchmaking? Asking because I want to buy it, but I don't want to throw my money away even if its just 40 bucks.Hopefully the numbers will be a little better soon since its the weekend.
Why'd they have to make the ost in this game a shitty fucking deconstructed club/IDM mix with ambience use. Half of the tracks on the OST you won't even get to hear either. There's some tracks on the OST that are quite frankly embarrassinghttps://youtu.be/EJea4-AaAXk?si=X2-JVU_Skvi--3WuWhat are you doingThat Poppy song was also just tiring, heard a million video-game related songs like it. Genuinely this game has a part 1 and part 2 OST but I think I've only heard in total maybe 7 tracks from the entire thing.
>>559496752Why did he just run and not fight back?
>>559500447Orion's theme is nice
>>559500121Except when someone is waiting around the corner with a shotgun, or just any gun.I've done it plenty myself most people don't even react if you do it correctly.
>>559500434I'm having instant queues on NA still
>>559500434It doesnt take long at all cause theres also console players and they even put it on last gen consoles. We havent even seen the weekend peaks yet
fuckin love this game bros
>>559500447I like the soundtrack a lot, even the songs that I would not listen to in my free time. They just fit the aesthetic, I like that the intro videos to the factions are more about a "vibe" than actually explaining anything about them.
>>559500540Previous gen consoles i mean
>>559500447desu the only song i remember is the one that plays in the lobby>ahh...ahh...ahh..*ready up*...AHHH...AHHH..AHHH...AHHH...AHHH...AHH...*remember i have to click ready twice for some fucking reason*
>>559500269>hmm mm should I waste money on slop or since I know they will make this game f2p like destiny I can just wait to play this slop for free
>34k nowThe promised bump starts.
ok yea, rook was easiest money
>>559500817NTA but the question is how long. I don't think is gonna go f2p in 3 weeks. It could take up to 6 months or even a year for a f2p relaunch
>>559500447>bungie can't even do better than a free fucking half life mod's OSTRemember when they fired all their Destiny composers even though they did Beyond Light tracks that would've been at least a good basis for Marathon?Hell, why not hire Ed Harrison? Is he even doing anything anymore
>>559500917They won't do shit until cryo comes out. I doubt it will make a bump, but they won't do anything premature before that.
>>559500447I assume you don't like Son Lux's style much
>>559500447https://youtu.be/-wQfCuKxC5c?si=TeYIY2tkA3zc1Cu2
I don't like solo, the game wasn't designed for it, but I hate groups and refuse to take part in them. It's truly over for me, maratronners.
>>559500857WERE SO BACK! 300k+ today easy.
>>559501051Just be better
>>559501023i unironically liked son lux before they were cool, but it would have been really neat if they had gotten WIFE for the osthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFL5Czl6024
It's true that the game isn't designed for solos, which is fine.The part that bothers me is they did actually bother to add a solo queue but didn't bother to change literally anything else about it to balance.>uhm just crouchwalk everywhere and don't fight anythingWow how fun.
>>559501023They did okayish on the EEAaO OST I thought. It's just that like a majority of the Marathon OST, it's the definition of why people make the argument "video game music is made for video games so you can't really listen to it outside of the game".>>559501037I like Code Race enough. Rhythm of Writhing Constellations is alright too, not heard anything else I liked.
>>559501051just make some friends, or have fun goofing around with randoms. youll never see them after you teamed up once, might as well live it up a little.
>did you know this game was fun with friends?
>>559501169That's how solo mode worked in Arc before it turned into grocery shopping raiders.
Damn...
>>559501169they refused to add a solo queue even when it was a common request in the closed alphas, they only caved when arc blew up and they started trying to compete. it was fine in the server slam imo they just need to lower the amount of players per map
>>559501396You can still kill anyone you want in arc. Most players don't but it still has less of a problem than marathons full kos.
>wake up>check the charts>I was right about them purchasing 50k bots>actual player count was probably 38k on release
>>559501445Are eliminations player kills or do bots count too?
>>559501526Anything.
You have been raped
>>559501469The player count is going up again. No bots here.
>>559501561FARK... BROS...
>>559500447>talk shit about OST>link a remix some nobody that has nothing to do with the ost madeyou just know shit taste and retardation go hand in hand
>>559501469Yeah totally man, they spent a bunch of money on setting up 50k bots and then just got bored and turned them off after a few hours. Makes sense.Retard.
>>559501460Yeah but unless you go out of your way to Kos everyone you will most likely end up in something apporaching friendly lobbies.Most of my solo lobbies people would act like being friendly is the default.
>>559501618Yes? You have to pay the people using the bots and clearly not enough people bought the game for Bungie to pay them
>>559500654>ahh...ahh...ahh..*ready up*...AHHH...AHHH..AHHH...AHHH...AHHH...AHHhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adMByoVAvzw
>>559501559Not turrets or drones or ticks
>>559501614It's literally on the track list of the OST, they signed off on it, it's used in the marketing for the game for fuck sake.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ii7KWBOy9csHere, even the official channel's uploaded it.In the video itself, its listed as part of the Marathon OST.
>>559501728It was pretty weird that the game flatlined at 80k for about 5 hours.
>>559501728Meds
>having fun exploring>everything is so pretty and designed full of SOUL>look at some building>all of a sudden getting shot in the back>downed>look over>it was a turret>not having fun anymore>uninstall and get my refund
>>559501785It's not a track composed for the game mongoloid, It's a remix of one. You've never seen remixes included in albums?
>>559501801it also kept dropping by 1k at a time for some reason
>>559501728Why the fuck would they bother allocating budget to buying bots if said budget was contingent on the game being a smash hit, at which point the bots would be completely unnecessary anyway? Your schizo "theory" makes absolutely no sense.You want to know what actually happened? America and Europe went to sleep and nobody in Asia gives a shit about the game.
Everyone in this general? A rape victim. You are in denial, you are broken. But thats ok. I dont blame thag you are being exploited because I to was raped. But now I have become the rapist and soon enough you will see the trvth. You will witness the raping of the decade soon enough
>>559501914Yeah compare to slay the spires release at the same time. Resident evil isn't that old so the chart can till be matched up a little and even that game had more fluctuation, but not by much.
rape sisters...what will happen of us when bungie inevitably shuts down in 2 months?
>>559501936Yeah, honestly, the extra 50k player are the crowd who didn't play the beta and just saw the newest game on top sellers(for the day)And then like the serverslam just uninstalledSo all thats left are the players from beta who actually like this shit
so what do you think of marathon in comparison to arc raiders?
>>559502050i don't like third person games desu
>>559501892There's numerous tracks in the OST that aren't in the game (yet) either you braindead retard, literally a pattern of bungie games. If you're going to spend money on getting some rando LA-based fucktard to butcher one of the only good tracks on your OST then get one with talent. Better yet, don't include this on the OFFICIAL SOUNDTRACK? Apply for a role at Bungie, you'd have amazing synergy with the retards over there.
>>559502050game is for dad carebears marathon is for chad white pro gamers
>>559502050honestly not even comparable, Arc Raiders could remove PvP and it would be a completely different game, its only considered an extraction shooter because there happens to be PvP in itArc Raiders is like Monster Hunter but optional PvP to kill someone if they take your monster killMarathon is an actual extraction shooter like Tarkov
>>559502050>marathonSoulless recycled slop bungie wanted to put out to make a quick buck and "reveloutionize" the extraction market>arc raidersNever played it or looked at it but from what i know the game is considered "original" and actual effort was put into the game
>>559502012>freemium decksloppa game accessible by anyone with a mouse and a pulse gets more players than $40 hardcore extraction shooternext youre gonna tell me water is wet
>>559502113>person releasing an album>oh cool this guy wants to make a remix of one of one of my songs, let's include him in the album. surely this collaboration can only benefit both parties.>your dumb nigger brain>THIS ONE REMIX REPRESENTS THE ENTIRETY OF THE ALBUMgo fuck yourself with a rake you stupid bitch
>>559487508walk behind idiots with passive camo on while they fight bots. PoV is so low in this game and no one ever looks behind themselves.
>>559487730PvE modeit's what Bungie/Destiny fans actually want
>>559502236>make one example of a song that's bad on the album>DUUUUUUR YOU THINK ONLY THIS SONG BAD!? RETARDeyes up guardian, i want you to know that I think a majority of the ambient tracks are more or less redundant, I hope that makes you a little less likely to commit suicide when the quarterly earnings come in next
>>559502050I only played 20 minutes of arc yesterday and 4 hours of marathon so I think I have a good handle on both>arc is more visually appealing and has more maps>third person feels more janky for a pvp and everyone was spamming out friendly whenever I saw them>marathon had better loot >marathon had loot everywhere while arc felt like everyone had scavenged most places>arc had way more negative space and less totally flat areas like marathon has, but marathon has some great interiors that third person games kinda suck with portraying>arc pve felt more dangerous while marathons are probably more lethalI really dislike marathons maps.
from what I've seen people write about this game, seems like most don't understand the genre, I don't really know how but they don't seem to understand that this is sci-fi Tarkov. Then they play the game, get sniped or just pushed by a team and uninstall, all this stupid talk about ttk is evidence of this, Tarkov has the most inconsistent ttk ever, depends on armor, bullet tier, etc, literally could be anywhere between 1 bullet or 60 to take someone down.

>>559502498What will kill this is the battle pass is generating negative word of mouth.
>>559502012This must make Bungie devs want to kill themselves.Also, the playercounts should be rising now, kinda crazy to think the initial amounts might've been unironically botted.
>>559502602>pussy ass schizo bitch can't even gather the courage to reply to a postretard
You can send a message to Bungie on how to save the game, but you're only allowed ONE word.
>>559502498>>559502615yea my normalfag friends do not like that stickers are 1 use
>559502671lmao
Honestly, I'm only using Thief in solo to grub loot for the upgrades.

Very nice botting for ARC raiders too, have you guys been following that one? Look at it go down and up at the same time every day!
>>559502672PVE
>>559502674I think they are only use per item, or something? So if you have three guns you need three stickers, but they don't get used up.
>>559502672ShutdownBungie can't make a proper PVP game. Its already evident with D2 pvp. There best bet is to go back to D2 and revert every shitty change since shadowkeep and actually improve upon the game instead of this drip fed quirky seasonal slop they are addicted to
>>559502449It's essentially a "be ready" type of game, which you'd think people would be used to by now with all the BR games people play, this one, like Tarkov just has more lootable items besides weapons and equipment and gives you tasks to complete in the map. Not that much harder to do imo. However if you are the kind of person that throws a controller across the room because the boss one-shot's you or uninstall a game because you are tired of people being better than you then I can see why they'd react like this or like you.

>>559503009good troll good sir
I think arc raiders poisoned the wellnot saying arc raiders is bad, not even criticising it evenbut before arc raiders came out you had basically 2 ways to play the same genre>tarkov, which is niche and PC only I think>call of duty DMZ, which wasn't played enough to get it out of "beta"arc raiders comes along and its the popular game of the extraction shooter genre, arc raiders also tends to have this player mentalitymarathon comes along and because the player mentality and gameplay is different to arc raiders (despite marathon being more akin to tarkov and DMZ), the players dont like it and stick to arc raiders
>>559503159try rook
>>559503159Thank you sis we really need to support bungie rnI use the main menu in the background like my Spotify Playlist. The music also helps me with my hormone treatment
>>559503227You also had dark and darker.
>>559503227the game is legitimately too hardcore, too high iq
>>559503227Maybe its also because of the fact bungie is a untrustworthy piece of shit company that put the bare minimum of effort into marathon?
>>559503227Arc is barely even an extraction shooter, it's closer to Helldivers 2 than Tarkov, but if you could instead teamkill your retards at the end to get more strategems for the next mission.>third person>overwhelmingly focused on PVE and taking down big bosses like monhunIt's fine for what it is but it's a reason it became popular among normalfags in the way Tarkov didn't, Marathon is much more of a true Tarkov-like
>>559503227to add, you'll also notice that EVERYONE is comparing it to arc raiders, not tarkov, not DMZ, not hunt showdownbesides, I think marathon is quite simply the better game overral compared to arc raiders (doesnt use AI slop voices for one)
>where'd all the players gothey played right up to the two hour mark and are now waiting to see if this game will survive the next few days
where is she
>mara flop couldn't even do better than Destiny 1Vicarios visions wonDestiny 1 wonSiva wonBungie lostD2 lostSTAR WARS lostMarathon lost
>>559503480>Game about humanity being hunted by autonomous killing machines >Replaced human voice actors with AI slop
>>559503480True, I think they completely fucked up the marketing somehow, since most people were just expecting a first person Arc Raiders apparently.
>>559503675>shexhe*
>>559503737it's not that deep given that the finals also uses AI for all its voices and there's nothing thematic about them doing so in that game
>>559503805It's really cheap and easy. x4 keeps doing it even though the playerbase keeps bitching about it.
>>559502359The lame thing is that Marathon doesn't have armor and the shields you have are just a crappier health bar
do you give the other rooks kisses?
>>559503227I dunno, maybe it's more to do with the fact that Arc Raiders has player vs environment similar to Helldivers which is proven to be popular too. Co-op shooters and that style of gameplay isn't unpopular, but Marathon is sitting in a weird spot when you look at it.>people reluctant because of the company who made it>people reluctant because of the genre (they already tried it, didn't like it)>people who want a purely pve experience and like the look and lore they're trying to establish but don't want to suffer through reset progress>its more casual than Tarkov>its more "hardcore" than Arc There are genuine reasons as to why it's not hitting ridiculously high playercounts. Half of which is Bungo's fault. They could've launched this with a lot more content, they had the dev time. They could've launched with a PvE mode, which would've bagged a shit ton more sales if they read the room. They could've not spent the past 4 years in an absolute death spiral of ruining their reputation (even longer than that really).Its stupid to blame general reactions. Tarkov's got is own massive issues and problems, it's going through the same motions that even ARMA 2 DayZ mod had in like 2012 where there were a shit ton of cheaters and they needed to find some way to develop on-top of what they already had without community reliance that was running thin.If a studio takes too long to develop a game, scraps shit, then re-does art direction and hires/replaces game directors and burns years of development while the genre advances? That's a problem when your vision of the genre is something that's based on 'the original' extraction shooter that came out 10 years ago. It would be different if we were talking about a small studio of dedicated developers, the type that the brits run typically with as little employees as possible with a hyper-specific outlook on what the game they wanna make is, or an indepedent developer, but this is legitimately one of the biggest studios

>>559504027A peak of 85k or whatever is genuinely kind of impressive given everything going against it and now niche the game is. Not saying it's good, not saying it's the best thing ever, just saying it did better day one than I would have reasonably expected.
I'm starting to have conflicted thoughts on the TTK. From my experience what weapon you use doesn't matter. What you bring doesn't matter. All that matters is you spot someone first, and they're dead no matter what. The low TTK means every weapon is similarly effective with unremarkable differences, and it means that there's close to no extended or exciting gunfights, it's 90% just COD-like "I saw you first and now you're dead" but the game doesn't really have mechanics to assist with this, all the kits are designed with extended fights in mind, except Assassin's.
>game went up 3k playersWE ARE SO FUCKING BACKSCHIZOS TAKE YOUR MEDS
>>559504164the ttk would be fine if this was actually a battle royale but if they want to pretend it's a tarkovlike the ttk being so short undermines all the depth of the gameplay and reduces it to as you said whoever shoots first wins. Arc has the exact same problem.
>>559504153I mean, that's not the real playercount either. It's probably doing 2x/2.5x that on consoles, which is what Destiny did too in terms of multiplicative scale.I don't think it's done AWFUL, its not a flop, but it's really in Bungie's hands now to see if they can keep that playerbase paying/playing for more than a year. Not like they're going back to Destiny.
>>559504164>doesnt matter what you bringWow did they actually finally fix the seasonal slop meta in fucking marathon? Christ now all they gotta do is apply that in d2 and remove champions and we can go back to better fucking gameplay after they fix the rest of the stuoid decisions theyve made
>>559504164>>559504254Bully smg is fucking great at the short distances these maps have. Level your Traxus and get those mods niggers
>>559504164>all kits are designed with extended fights in mindtheyre designed for 3v3, and the pve is real too
What if I was german and called myself AimBraut and I was really good at headshotting people in Marathon...
>>559504386>bully SMGyeah I just run the free kit with it. No point to ever bringing my own loadout.
>>559504164>>559504396they're designed for fighting the pve enemiesthis was going to be a hero shooter, but a PvE focused one, as most people can obviously tell when using their kits and fighting the AI, the game actually feels like how its supposed toand then you get shot in the back
Solos are fun as fuck, getting lots more PvP than I was in the server test. Don't know why all the complaints about solo in particular.

>>559504502>fight pve>use cover, abilities matter, and you can easily heal upIt does feel like it was meant for PVE.
>>559504453How do you consistently get MIDA kits?
>bully/brrt smg for players>v11 for botsLiterally all a poorfag needs

>>559503805It's just deeply ironic to make a game about humanity banding together despite their differences to fight deeply inhuman AI killing machines and it comes from a studio that is seemingly in love with the idea of replacing a very human element of a game like voice acting with low quality AI voices.
>>559504631it was a good game"was">>559504658yea it kind of pisses me off, this game would pretty fun with its original premiseI would have loved to team up with 2-3 other dudes and just run around the map killing bad guys, doing quests, and having to safely exfilbut I guess thats just me, I learned I like extraction shooters in almost every way, except for the pvp, I guess they need to make a new genre because something like Arc Raiders is only technically an extraction shooter, but it does not play like any of the other ones and has a huge PvE focus
>>559504164I dunno the poorfag overrun AR is pretty fucking shit unless you're standing right next to someone
>>559504502your expectations is that it should be a pvp hero shooter? do you understand what youre saying? pretty dumb. the tweaking/skills are a tiny part of the dev time relative to everything else. you dont know shit
>>559504913thats such a surface level and low IQ takeall those voice actors were paid fully knowing what they were being paid forlike it is a good complaint, and something a sick and twisted company would totally do, until you actually spend 1 minute to look into it>According to multiple sources, including statements from the developers and discussions on Reddit, the VAs are paid per line and receive royalties for any future lines generated using their AI-trained voice models.
>>559503759>most people were just expecting a first person Arc Raiders apparently.which is stupid because marathon takes basically no inspiration from arc. arc and marathon were in development at the same time. it is bungies take on tarkov. to that end, its actually a really fucking good game. people who play video games these days just dont like difficult things, unfortunately. that marathon is hard and unforgiving means todays wholesome chungus fans will just bounce off it. that SHOULD be fine, as long as enough people love the game strongly enough. i think its a cult classic in the making. hopefully enough others agree.
How do I deal with the UESC Commanders? They tank several mags of all my weapons, jetpack and then instakill me
>>559505398normal person>who the fuck is tarkov
>>559504948You say that's what you want but you would get bored immediately, you just want destiny again and that's fine but stop being a moron
the artstyle and vibes really grew on me fast. its such a unique mix of corporate art and retro extrapolations from the old MS DOS style of really early 3d graphics, plus pixel art... its just fucking cool, especially happening against this kind gritty almost cyperpunkish vibe. the gameplay is tight, the hit registration is on point, and the artstyle is genuinely different and original. i fucking love this game.
>>559485509A wipe every quarter does seem pretty wacky but we'll have to see how it goes.
>>559485348I didn’t know Bungie was deep into the occult. Anyone else just finding out their storylines are basically just Hermeticism. Just understanding now that the rise of Halo was not organic
>>559505398>people who play video games these days just dont like difficult thingsThis is such a hilarious thing to say in a generation defined by Elden Ring
