I, for Xbox One, will be having a blast (;
the gear fear is creeping in...
botted slop mogged by a card gamerape bungie
>>559493143OP needs serious cleaning upWay too much bloat
morning /mg/
>>559493143Normies hate the battlepass and store, if endgame isn't good enough to capture the autism is this game is fucked
>>559498784>peak only hit half the all time high of free demo>getting absolutely mogged by an Indie roguelike card game Bungie are fucking dead, aren’t they. How can they even recover from this. The losses must be huge unless they somehow get saved by whales
>I wake up>I kiss my wife and daughter >35k players online>88k player all time peak>All Bungie execs will be decapitated on TV>By a Sony exec wielding a >GLOWING>RED>SIVA>KATANAFeels good to be a Doomgod.
So what are the odds this only sold like half a milly?
>>559501326why are you here?
Damn bros Highguard peaked higher than this. 36k rn? It's so over.
>>559502178You know why. Run from it, hide from it. It cannot be escaped. It will come to you.
what is even the point of recon's spider drone when the blast can be outrun with a casual jog? all it does is alert players that you're there when it would be quicker just to shoot them with your gun
what are these simulacrums or whatever on the season pass? i extracted with one and now im just allowed to buy a pistol?
half the people who bought the game already asked for a refund
>>559502841It was very good for me last night when actively pushing teams. it's of course shit for 1:1s or if the other team doesn't know you're there yet
>>559503041Get a good image amigo it's setting a new peak as you read this at almost 400k
>>559503041The silk song of card games
>>559503091Damn that's wild. Marathon must also be setting new peak as we speak right? I
>>559503041>g-git gud marathon is hardcore only!!!!
>people coping the only reason StS is so high is because people really like the dev for his previous work>as opposed to Bungie who everyone hates because of their previous work
>>559502735Nobody knows what this means
>TWO MAPS
>>559503630sts is also not a direct competitor to marathon why are people acting like this is cod vs battlefield
WHAT SHELL DO I USE?
I'M SHITTING!!!
>>559503860It doesn't have to be a competitor for us to make comparisons. If you want to compare to a competitor see picrel
>>559503921just get a refund already bro it's not worth it
It's about to happen!
>spam freekits on perimeter>rush teams>???>profit
>Solos is full of campers waiting to steal my loot (a free kit and crafting materials) JUST LET ME COMPLETE CONTRACTS YOU FUCKS
ninja already gave up on us.....did they not pay him enough? is it over?
>>559501326hope notI've been really enjoying marathon and this is my first extraction shooter
>"Dying repeatedly will make me God"What were they thinking...
>>559504142>breed Glitchyes I will
>>559503836Did you not unlock outpost yet
I didn't even want this game for free and had my friend refund the copy he gifted me.
alri ladsjosh from brit/pol/ hereI am having such a BLASTjust paired up with some good lads, russian lad and another brittwo guys laying down heavy fire on us from belowI call, "I'll bait"jump down, rush them, 2v1, two knife killsthey didn't know what hit themI legitimately just meant to bait them to create an opening for my teammates but ended up knifing them to death myself insteadgot DC'd after lootingkept getting DC'd for about five mins7 mins left in matchreconnect, no lag, no issues3 mins leftone guy down on my teamits looking badI'm 200m awaylast guy managed to take cover and keep his distanceI roll up>destroyer.jpgLMG + missile rain down unholy hellfire on the enemy team on my broall downed, all dead, they didn't see this flank comingneither did Iwham bam thank you mam4 guys rekt, just like that, by a guy called josh the noob (inept)hope they refunded
Why is there so much mind rape over this gameI can call out the fucked balance between shells and guns, along with the core and implants system being gay but what is causing so much asshurt? I never played Destiny or Halo after 3 cuz I thought it looked gay
>get put into trio>”were just gonna go around and smoke some players bro”>here we go>first PvP interaction, our team gets destroyed>guy who was shot talking immediately backs off>comes back to revive us>everyone’s up, UESC bots start pouring in>team downed again>no one says anything on the micsMarathon makes the shit talking stop real quick.
>>559504968i aint readin allat
>>559504968>I legitimately just meant to bait them to create an opening for my teammates but ended up knifing them to death myself insteadAh the proper british way.
Game is fun, I'm glad Destiny is finally dead.
>>559503836Outpost coming tonight
LET ME IIIIIIIN
how the fuck is sts2 at 350k though? chinese streamer? what is this
what is life on earth like in the marathon universe?
>>559504968Sorry, don't care. It's a steam charts thread, please post a comparison with some random game
>>559505086a PVE hero shooterand yea it would have done way better than what Marathon is doing right nowits got great PvE ruined by the PvP
30k and dropping80k peak It’s over
>tfw game will die before you can complete your faction questsFucking 35k already. Jesus. Even if we double it for playstation, that’s ONLY 105k players TOTAL. Xbox is a non factor, no one owns an Xbox.
SHUT IT DOWN
>>559505021time to rape too short
so why isn't the game skyrocketing back to 80k?oh right its only 6am in Commiefornia, 1 more hour bros, we got this
>>559505241PvE is fucking gay because it just the same build rushing towards the objective, smashing the boss in five minutes, and then immediately fucking leaving while you try to comprehend what's going on
Yeah this game just aint it... sorry sisters.
>>559505021it's just jealous destinyfags seething because bungie is paying more attention to marathon
You didn't actually buy a game that will end it's service in a month, right?
>>559505454Get lost casual
>>559505457I don't know why people like DestinyTo me it's just a lame combo of Warhammer and Power Rangers written by a teenager
>>559505457LMAO
>>559505454Good, fuck off racist chud
They NEED to raise the TTK this game's combat sucks fucking balls it's literally got as much depth as COD
If you can kill someone without dump 4 mags into them then the game sucks. THERE I SAID IT
Good morning sisters. I just woke up.
today i well get an extractwas on a straight losing streak last night
>>559505826we've been mogged by the fucking card game
>>559505812It takes 1/4th of a mag from any gun instead. Why use your shell?
>90% positiveIs this a new record for a AAA game.
>>559505247I matched with an Xbox random last night and he was the worst teammate I had all night, just an absolute mongoloid
>>559505867to be completely fair, I never played destinybut I also am that autist that dump hundreds of hours into a PvE game, but I can say that I am very likely not the primary demographic, even though I would consider spending thousands on whatever current game I'm playing
>>559505878That was expected though, sister. It's a casual coop game.
>>559505878Yes and that's mogged by DoTA 2 and whatever fotm spyware thirdies install onto their garbage systems
Isn't Outpost supposed to unlock today? Shit is still locked.
>everyone screaming at me that I should hate this gameHow come? I don't understand why this game is so divisive among communities. I don't see political propaganda in either way. I don't see like anything truly offensive.Is the game bad? Yeah. It has nothing to do but the hate I see doesn't seem to even talk about the game itself.
Is there any point to NOT taking a free load out when you loading with randos in trios?
>>559506171The game is deadConcord 4Pack it up
This game is one of the biggest normie filters I’ve ever seen.
>>559506020You'd probably want Helldivers or Darktide or Deep Rock I mainly play games like SS13 and Dominions, and I think that the whacky shit players can do is much more interesting than NPCs. If Bungie does want more 'player interaction' besides KOS though, they'd have to give some actual reward for it because there's nothing a 3 man squad can't accomplish, let alone have the bag space to carry to exfil
>>559506149>he thinks bingo bongo goes for EU timesit's 4? hours from now
This game is good. It's just normalfag arcdads who don't like it.
>>559506176I bring gear in random trios because I use my crewmates to get shot up by enemy teams and I kill the enemy team
>>559506223That's pretty bad when you need normie sales numbers at your extremely gay studio.
>>559506176yeah, if you want to survive runner encounters
>>559506171>>everyone screaming at me that I should hate this gameget better friends? if my friends don't like something they don't shit their pants aboutif you're taking shitposting on the internet too seriously, maybe you need to take a break, just go focus on having fun in Marathon
feels bad knowing I have to put marathon as a private game in my steam profile so nobody on /v/ makes fun of me
>>559506176You're running low on vault space? I just go cheap as fuck with just wstr/bully, emp grenades, shield, and meds
>>559505561but I thought we were the racist chuds? I'm so out fo the loop...
>>559506260it's 9am est in the US
>>559506372Racism is cringe and brown-coded, go away
>>559506313This nigger said the game would have 50 k players on launch
>>559506171Tribalism.Destiny 2 players are upset because their game died for this. (It did)ARC players are upset because their game is threatened by this (It's not)Tarkov and Hunt players are enjoying the gameEverybody else is just following whatever hate mob of the month is spoutingTo be fair the game did look like shit due to it being in development and they stole art from some girl (which was rectified, she's on credits), TTK was too high and the gameplay was not very satisfying last year, however everybody that was actually interested in this type of game that played on the server slam found out that they actually dealt with a lot of the issues.But the culture wars people want this game to be concord 3 so bad that they can't see any other perspective right now, so they come here and drool like retards.
Pray for me...For I have died...
>>559506313>paul tassi
HOW DO I GET CONSISTENT MIDA KITS
>>559506562Do mida missions?
cant find an answer anywhere. what does "limited time" mean? we were told we can go back and purchase an older battle pass in the future, so theres no FOMO. is this saying thats not the case? will there be some rewards that are no longer available after enough time?
>>559506562same way you get the rocket jump core for vandal which you should have by default and always have and never lose
Never forget how the tranny lover peanut shilled for the game for MONTHS and decided not to play on launch after he crashed the fuck out at his viewers, what a pussy that guy is lmao.
>>559506313>concerning
>>559506578>>559506614No you DUMMIES I want the free bullies because they are the best cheapo pvp weapon
>>559506562I don't remember using one in the slam but I was given several free ones last night when I wiped out with shitty fills
>>559506681seia please calm down you are scaring me
>>559506767Bullies are cheap as fuck via traxus
>>559506580the knife skin is limited time fomo, everything else is permanent
>>559506681>>559506835POST HER GODDAMN ARMPITSRIGHT NOW YOU FUCKING SEIAPOSTER
Damn. Every Marathon streamer spends 80% of their time explaining to chat that they just want to play Marathon for a bit (they want views for the twitch drops but lets not talk about that) and there's no need for game warring or steam chart posting.
Are ya winnin', son?
What do you call this? My kids call it "mogging".
So is this game actually that hard
>>559506925Sometimes. I've been growing to enjoy Destroyer despite wanting to play Thief...Something about dashing behind someone and blasting them is fun...
Don't worry guys
>>559506961>casual deckbuilding roguelike>hardcore sci-fi extraction shooterbetter go play candy crush
>>559506974Sounds like a fine Friday
These guys put FPS on the map with halo...
Disconnected right when I finally almost sorta kinda managed to damage some guy
>join trio>have one teamfight (win)>guy DCs cuz he doesn't know he can be revived>other guy immediately exfils without doing his objective (exfil is literally at his objective and he ignores this)
>>559506961yeah, I'm sure the player bases for these 2 games are completely interchangeable 100% no questions about it.
>>559506974tank and medic are the shells for retards, you can never go wrong with 'em regardless of your mental capabilities
>>559506903I don't have any seiapits
>>559506859LMAO
>>559506672Mouth breathers should be put in psych wards
>>559507039None of the people that worked on Halo have been part of Bungie for a long time now. This is a completely different company.
>>559507039>put fps on the map with halofucking normie
>>559507060crazy cope
>>559507060I had 2 friends who played together in marathon refund and then play the cardgame for 7 hours.
>>559506968No I've never played a game like this and I'm doing okay, I have a nice pair of headphones and a functioning prefrontal cortex though
>>559507082destroyer doesnt get more hp you know
>>559506837>cheap as fuck>1k plus ammoOh well look at rich dick over here
Bungie used to be a household name
>>559506968you die in less than a second in any PvP encounter, and PvP is highly incentivized, to the point this game is almost literally only about PvPingI guess you can kill some robots too once the lobby gets full cleared
>>559503921Destroyer is only good if youre super aggressive.Vandal and Thief are really good if you want mobility.Triage is good if youre more support minded.Assassin is good if you're a giant pussy. Recon sounds good on paper, but all ive heard is people bitch about how not goo it is. I was glad it was on my team when i was playing destroyer atleast.
>>559507187Cool, more power to them
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.
My favorite thing about trios is when you get some literal children on your team who run head first into every fight, and then when they die, they're like "GO HELP HIM." They think you're supposed to run straight for their death marker with zero awareness of the enemy positioning. It's hilarious.>i died now you have to die with me!>DIE WITHMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>559507039>These guysMost of those key team leaders are goneEven when they were there they needed to be in their strongest rolesAnd if you're not making an already tested and proven formula (like Halo) there's really no guarantee your next idea will be comparableIt's a miracle the game even exists (not to say it shouldn't improve) after all those lay-offs
>>559507039They LITERALLY invented the modern fps... now this
>>559507247Recon is fun if you are a mida fag and love spamming grenades
>>559507098>posts seia eosfox>doesn’t have pits prepped to ward off evil anon spiritsA thousand years of bad luck, frog in the well.
>>559507256I think Shiek is still at Bungie, Timmins too. I'd be very interested in hearing a lead artist and engineer talk about the development.This game can definitely take players on a live-service journey in the Marathon setting, that proves to be more and more interesting with each passing season, I only hope they stay afloat and head in a genuinely good direction.
TTK is so ass, no way to react to being shot in the back. Only way to profit is to just loot whatever is in front of me and exfill immediately when exfill is open.
why is the curve already flattening?
>>559506313He's right btw. >AAA>Live Service>Prestige developer like Bungie>Low $40 entryIt only reached 1/5th of Helldivers launch, which came from a bunch of swedes whose previous games were top down indie games (Magika, kino btw)
>>559507325the one i have saved is too sexy for this general
>>559505161>population of sol 27 billionSounds fucking awful
>>559507526Saw a stroomer that said "gold shields fix this" but idk man, i dont trust him.
>contract involves killing an elite and then running across the map>try it in trios>no one wants to help>try it in solos>inevitably get ambushed while fighting the bossAAAAAAAA I JUST WANT TO UPGRADE
>extremely basic looking game>re-used assets everywhere>game launches with 3* mapsthe fuck were they doing? I'm convinced this was never meant to be an extraction shooter and they retooled it midway through.
>>559506580If only you knew how bad things really are
>>559507630Kinda retarded if it makes that much of a difference. At this point I'll just camp exfills.
I'm amused. Why does it have so many profile banners, yet none of them are visible outside your own profile settings? You can't see your own or others' banners on the death cam, not even in the lobby. It's just pointless. Do they even know how to properly monetize the game?
>>559507789i keep thinking this is a captcha
>>559506974You’re fixing others to have a blast? Diabolical
Wait a minute. It's that easy?
>>559507810Have to justify the millions they pay every month to the art team.
>>559507569There's not a whole lot to sink your teeth into and what does exist will take time for people to really see the charm of.>people discover the strats weeks after launchI've seen it happen with many games HOWEVER don't expect a whole lot for "Season 1" of Marathon. It's the kind of project that will only see true success from growth down the line, if that.
>>559507864Too bad it's near worthless
>>559507961why? It saved my whole run once. I got up and revived my whole team
>>559508031Did you die to bots?
>>559507569casuals who thought they could play for the story are realizing they can't actually do that
>>559507217it gets you an insane amount of utilities with the shield and the missiles though
i just realized i was very lucky with that fucking traxxus unlock quest during the slam
Let’s assume Bungie is given the opportunity and time to fix Marathon. What changes do they make?
>>559507569The daily peak happens in 10 hours from now, don't worry bro we got plenty of time to climb to 100k today.Remember it's not a sprint, it's a Marathon! were in it for the long run, if we don't crack 100k today, there is always tomorrow to try again.This game is gonna BOOM, I can feel the vibe shifting.
>>559508250The biggest change is to have a direction and commit to it.
>>559508250Honestly they should get rid of the core and implant system and make it a perk system like CoDYou should be able to customize shields like guns too
I hope this game makes it long enough for them to really try and stretch what they have here. So far I'm finding it very comfy and immersive as a solo-queue player that hasn't played an extraction shooter before. I think it helps that I have the emotional regulation of an adult and can actually pay attention to my surroundings.
>>559508250Add a battle royale mode and a Master Chef Halo Outfit.
This is the first game since doom eternal to make me use a lower resolution than my monitor just so I can have a stable framerate on my shitbox. I’m enjoying it that fucking much
>>559508361I like that idea, right now having all of that tied into the inventory menu is a bit much. Some more meta progression would probably go a long way fo soothing retards who chimp out at losing gear
I think this game is going to stay at a Hunt Showdown level, these guys were clearly banking on it doing like 500k or something absurd, but it'll likely never move past 40k
what people dont understand is marathon isnt just trying to be successful in its own rightits starting from bottom of a chasm that is the murder of destiny 2which was its golden goose for a decadeit needs to be successful on its own and also be so successful that it validates the decision to kill destiny 2.so far it hasnt even done the first one.if bungie didnt kill destiny and it was still thriving and had full active development with a full sized team and budget then marathon would have a significantly smaller mountain to climb.
>>559508250>Slightly higher TTK>Duo queues>Balanced Solo/Duo PvE numbers and PvP spawns>Unfucked UI>Nerfed double barrel shotgun and sniper>Sped up shield/health regen speed after using consumables>Nerfed controller aim assist>Reduced cooldowns across the board by 30%>More depleted health/shield charges across the map>More weapon lockers across the map>Added covers to exfil sitesThat's all I can think of right now
>>559508560Okay. Why should I care about the internal office politics of Bungie and Sony or their financials?
>>559508553Then they were retarded to begin with if they thought a hardcore extraction shooter would get anywhere close to these numbers.
Trying my first solo run.... this better not be gay
>>559508743The yaoi hands are coming for you...
>>559508560seems beyond stupid to aim for this, Destiny and this game couldn't be more different, as the people that'll play these games, its like Warframe devs suddenly killing their game and releasing a 4X game like HOI in their universe, utterly insane. The only thing similar to Destiny here is that there's guns.
>>559508779
Sometimes I feel like my language isn't real...
>>559508828Come on it's not that ridiculous, this game takes a lot from Destiny.
>>559508828>The only thing similar to Destiny here is that there's guns.There's a few more similarities like it sucks and it's dead
>run free kit>exfil stacked as fuck>run with loot from vault>always die
>>559507961retard
>>559508828you dont understand my comment
>>559508709Don't know what to tell you, this is just how it appears from the outside, although you'd be surprised by how retarded executives are both in their demands and "vision". I've been on massive projects for Bayer (Agro side) that were clearly doomed to fail from the get-go yet you'd look at these CEO type guys and they'd look like a kind on christmas morning during the pitch, they live outside reality.
>wipe 2 squads + 1 runaway in sweaty extended fights>later get instakilled by some sniper squad from 10 miles away with no chance of fighting backso this is the way. Unfun
How is the additional map? I liked the server slam but the maps felt kind of samey.>>559508941Is there no hatch equivalent?
>Be me>Enjoying the gameYup I won
>>559508250The Tarkov Part of this game is the downside.>remove extraction shooter>make the game objective based like Helldivers>but keep PvPvE >add vehicles >add aliens
>>559509292You meant running with nothing? Yeah you can do that. No reason to tho. Game tries to jebait you into doing that by setting up straight up to go into the next match regardless of the previous match results.
>>559509384why do bungie retards always want the game to revert to halo/destiny? It's a different game you mongo
>>559509384??? what are you even smoking
>>559509513>it's a different gameit's a better game
>>559507781>>game launches with 3* mapspossibly the funniest part>it comes with 4 maps>Actually its just 3, the 4th map is the raid map, so its released later so everyone can do it>so it actually comes with 3 maps>actually we decided to lock everyone out of the 3rd map for 24 hours>so it actually only ships with 2 maps>like the beta
I fucking hate the fact that the team text chat never works holy fuck how am I supposed to communicate with my team IF I CANT EVEN TYPE SHIT IN THERE it doesn't even show up as a log FUCK
>>559509552then go play it, they're already available
>>559509253Position better/skill issue/get a self-revive
>>559509603its a game for people with friends, go play rook like the rest of the failures.
BALD
>>559508743Its just assassin spam, it was far more fun in the slam.Ive been stuck one hour trying to do that one traxus unlock quest.
>>559509292There is no raider hatch equivalent.
>>559508743>100 matches later"Still haven't exfil'd yet"
>get the god given gift of prox chat in an online shooter>nobody fucking uses it
>*queues up in crew fill*>*has text chat disabled*>*has voice chat disabled*>*is personally disabled*Yep. I'm your teammate.
Why isn't this a Destiny expansion? >Shells are basically Destiny sub-classes with arthritis. >PVE enemies are literally reskinned Nightfall difficulty enemies. >The game even looks like Destiny with a few neon textures thrown around.What could have been...
>erm guys why does nobody want to erp with me instead of playing the fucking game
>people insist on going to the nearest place near spawn to kill the clankers and loot>even though they brought a loadout >even though they have no objectives there>people who stop whatever they're doing to call a supply drop when this is 10,000% bait for other players
>>559509869People DEFINITELY use it if you're rook gaming. I've been called faggot a ton.
>>559509762Literally just pick destroyer and he'll die instantly to your ult
Destiny enjoyers are the literal scum of the earth
>>559510000>missiles take 2 seconds to activate when you could just shoot them>missiles only fire after you shoot someone long enough to kill themWhat's up with that
>>559509869People have said things to me after I down them in solo. Usually not that mean, only on rook have I been called nigger, faggot and a worthless retard so far.
what is a way to make money? except just selling random stuff?
Game is peak, sucks that Sony is gonna shut it down.
>>559493143>Since this is a live service game, I’ll revisit the game throughout the first month and take a look at Cryo Archive, Marathon’s endgame zone, when it opens later in March, for a full game review. This is bullshit.
>>559509827I got a kill, but then I got sniped. It wasn't a cheap snipe. He was actually like 20 feet away. Solo is really slow.
>>559509997>>559510112I guess there's just something about that robot that pisses people off.
>>559509971>it put a market on my screen>I guess thats what I do
>>559509665The amount of skill required to play like a bitch and get more value than any other playstyle is not comparative to the amount of skill required to fight against it. This game is for casuals.
MARATHON IS BRAT

Is there confirmation on how damage calculation for the knife works? You can inspect guns and it will tell you how much damage each bullet does but I can only find a solid number on the "melee" stat which I think gives the number your punches do while holding a gunalso recon is fun___
>>559510146Do a rook run and only take back items with the loot bag symbol
fuck a bitch
Have we figured out the max player/squad size of the maps yet?
Honestly, this game is good. Anyone talking shit is just an autistic destiny dad or arc tranny
>>559510104destroyer was made for a pve game thats what.
>>559510307The robot only gets queued into trio-matches in progress. If you ever find other people solo that aren't rooks, then they are rats who abandoned their team or their team ragequit after going down instead of waiting to see if they could get revived. Otherwise Rook is just cheapshotting people while they are doing something else.
>>559510553I just use Rook for resource runs, I have no intention of fighting others, unless forced. Just let me take the unstable biomass home.
>>559506493You can summarize this a bit better>tarkov and hunt players are enjoying this game>Everyone else thinks these games are shit, as alwaysdestiny 2 haters might be hating on it but gamers have a tendency to buy things no matter what they say.
why do i sometimes randomly get cyberac free kits even though mida is the daily sponsor?
>>559509603Bungie absolutely spent way too much money on a shit ass ai filtering system. Played destiny for ages and it would hit the most random words, misspellings and shortening of words, blot out pete parsons, Justin Truman, and worst several combinations of raid mechanic call outs would just be censored which would be a clusterfuck. It’s genuinely fascinating watching it through the years and it kept getting things so wrong and misconstrued when it came out shitty.
>>559510663My tarkov playing friends think this game is dogshit.
>>559510657Just leave your unstable biomass and your diodes and there will be an end to the horror.
Does self repair speed stat increase the rate that you heal, or just the amount of time it takes to apply the healing item?Like when you activate it you have the timer for how it takes, but then the bar grows for how much it's going to heal by, and the slower is the current actual health going up.
>>559510146Rook run looting "valuables"; items that have the little bag icon on them. The trick is to do a massive haul by just chucking away your ammo and meds and cramming in as much as possible. You can replace valuables if you find some rare loot that can sell for a nice price, and you can get some spare change selling the guns and implants you scav on the run too, but focus solely on maxing out valuables and then collecting as many stacks as you canSome guns also sell for a lot and are somewhat frequent; keep an eye out for Brrt SMG's, they're a nice way to hike up your creds since an unmodded one sells for 1k creds alone
>>559508250Make it a Marathon game instead of whatever this nigslop isj
>>559509513No I want the objective system to be like helldivers. The objectives in helldivers are way more fun than marathon.
>>559510657Rook can be upgraded at every faction to have an actual loadout so you are basically in the minority and are going to get conflated with the majority.
>>559510795I think it improves how fast the heal ticks apply, if you want faster use speed you'd need the healing backpack or some kind of other mod maybe.
>>559511018Stuff like launching a nuke in Helldivers is great. We'll never get like that in Marathon. Just go here press X there kill this.
love killing rooks as a team, its like getting one of those loot goblin spawns in Diablo, little loot pinata
Is there any other game of equal studio size/big company that has had a season pass with just as ass backwards setup and not really any skins? I get skins are whatever in fps and the faction earnable stuff isn’t bad, I’m just surprised how like virtually any other game you get something a bit more than weapon cosmetics and 1 whole skin feels strange.
I'm seeing Assassin's throw out a smoke, but then it creates a whole long line of smoke. Is that a core? It fucking sucks and smoke from my team fucks me up every time.
>spawn as rook>spawn directly on 3 runner bags
>>559511215It drops a pellet and it bounces 2 times to create 3 spheres of smoke.
>>559511194It reminds me of how bad Apex's first pass was. But I don't mind it, plenty of good skins in the codex.
>>559511215smoke is the single most useful thing in the game.
>>559511194The skins available are just different colours too. In Apex there a tons of different models for characters and guns, not just different textures.
>>559509552its a game you like more, not a better game.
>>559511303>they all contain sponsor kit gear
>>559511362That's because Marathon has an actual design philosophy where they want the silhouettes to remain the same.
The entire genre should just fucking die.All the corpa devs will be chasing this shit like they were chasing the next big BR.Multibillion studios wasting hundreds of millions on this slop instead of making proper games.
>>559511362I was gonna make a post about retaining silhouettes is really important to readability in an FPS game with defined character designs but then I remembered TF2 exists and kind of raped that idea to death with all the cosmetics and unusuals.
>>559509513>adding aliens will make it like halo and destiny Anonymous Poster I…
>NOOOOO please dont say our game is shit we promise it gets better after the 2 week refund window :))))fucking pathetic
>>559511557> G L A N C E V A L U E
>>559511525This, that's definitely why they're doing it, it's not because it's cheap to recolor a texture in photoshop and make pigs pay for it
>>559511525I like that the don’t have a playable Snoop Dogg skin. But everyone looks basically the same when you are shooting them except Destroyer. There is no distinct silhouette and that’s not good design for a game that is basically a hero shooter
>>559511769Yep. They want you to immediately know which class you're fighting against, not guess through a bunch of silly hats and pauldrons that make the original design incomprehensible.
>hundreds of millions of dollars
>>559511613>pinnacle endgame zone and experienceThis is the most corposlop way of describing something I have ever seen
>>559511940I hope this doesn’t get patched because it’s cool
>Gear up from vault>Start match>Black screen for 15 minutes after the loading screen>Close out game and come back>"Would you like to reconnect?">Yes>Black screen still>Have to leave entire match and lose all my gear I didn't even get to use>This has happened 3 times nowFUCK you.
>>559511940See this could be easily fixed by having the actual skill have some kind of hard deploy time limit so cool stuff like this could happen but still be balanced.
should've been an immersive sim
>>559512173Should have been space colony management rts
>>559512251This but still fps and pvp
>>559511871Too bad that doesn't matter in any situation.
My first 2-shot humiliation ritual by a sniper from god knows where.It's already over not even a day in.
Marathon sisters, how are the game numbers holding up?
>>559512340How do I get a sniper easily?
>>559512413Buy traxis or arachne upgrade that allows you to buy one from the shop
alri ladsjosh from brit/pol/ hereany tips on getting better aim?and I don't mean practically, I mean mechanicallyas in what mouse do you use? I'm using razer cobra atm, 2000dpi, 1000hz, calibrated for razer firefly mousemat, lift-off range set to onethere's only one issue I've spotted and thats the fact that sometimes my mouse movements will skip frames. I notice this mostly when sniping or whatever, so its most noticable with precision aiming. does this mean I need to get a better mouse with a higher hz capacity? or is it something else?
>>559512319Sure it doesn't bud.>see enemy before they see you>watch them for literally minutes>can clearly see which class they are the whole time
What's the optimal faction rank upgrade path? Obviously heat upgrades first.
>>559512727You the target audience for the hotel cuck chair?>see enemy before they see you>kill them
>>559512835>sees three enemies>can clearly see their classes>my squad is dead>if one of them separates, which one should i engage based on my classUse your head, idiot.
>45kWe are not getting a weekend bump
>nucalLoot organic mats>MidaExplosive damage>Arachne Runner killsHow to get passive traxus and cyberac exp?
>>559513012>which one should i engage based on my classdoesn't matter
>>559511871>They want you to immediately know which class you're fighting againstlmao
Hulks will save this game
Really wish there were voice lines indicating that a whole team is down. Since no one uses comms I have no idea whether it's safe to loot after a fight.
>>559513092Correct.
>>559513092Dumb!>>559513108Dumb 2!
so how do you get silk?Also the fact that the premium currency isn't even available in the paid season pass is cropo greedy bullshit.>t. has almost completed the pass without knowing where the fuck the silk came from
Bungie's in such dire straits that they have to parade around publisher-mandated trendchasing garbage using the name of one of their most heartfelt creationsTragic
>>559513525you get 10 for extractionthe only real way to farm it is to extract as fast as you can which probably means playing solo unless you feel like griefing a team for keks.
The amount of times another player and I have downed each other at the exact same time and we just lay there staring at one another is astounding. I don’t know what they fucked up but it feels retarded every time.
>>559513634With 60hz servers this should be impossible.
>>559513634volt weapon bullets have travel time
Is it worth it to buy Lockbox keys and farm lockboxes?
>>559512705Install aimlabs
>>559513715happened to me to and we were both using hitscan guns
>>559513749yeah, if you manage to exfil with all the high level shit you get from them
>>559510749YOU'RE NEVER GETTING MY SHIT YOU GREASY FUCK!
>>559512413They drop off certain usec bots and can be found in storage lockers, you can also rush Traxus rep to buy one in the armory.
>>559509942It looks and plays very differently, you're just low iq
>>559513774
Where is the s’pht compiler he was in the trailers
>>559514159on the marathon shitship*, sorry
>>559514159two more weeks
>>559514159Cryo archive in two weeks where the game goes full pve.
>>559511194I guess they truly were just getting the actual game over the line, you'd think they'd hit the mtx line harder on launch given the size and history of the studio. I can't believe I'm saying this but I wish they did put more effort into the battlepass because it's a lose lose now, people hate that it exists and also hate it even if they wanted it because it's so underwhelming
>>559514217>the game goes full pve.this would save Marathon
>>559512173Fuck... I like the game but this would've been so much better
how do we save marathon bros
>>559514335Just that map where all the good players hang out. Most players will probably never get to it. Can't imagine going solo though and fill doesn't really make sense for it.
>>559510104PvP is only half the game, the other half is PvEing UESC for gold and purple loot. Destroyer's rockets are the best at killing boss AI and securing bis loot. His shield, sprint, and thrusters are good at putting you in team killing positions. He's a good shell, you just have to use it correctly.
>>559513525>Also the fact that the premium currency isn't even available in the paid season pass is corpo greedy bullshit.wefuckingwarned you
>>559514159He shows up on the future map and is known as "the entity". Enjoy being shot in the back while trying to do puzzles tho or something as he sits in the background picking his cyborg nose.
imagine being sony rn
Any good aimbots/wall hacks yet? Don’t care about getting banned since it’s obvious this game is eos
>>559514217If cryo is a siloed pve experience it would be a lot more enjoyable for a majority of the player base. There is plenty of shithousery to be had on the other maps if you're into that
when one of you fags will gift me marathon?
>>559514583>here are our numbers>Sony: "HOLY SHIT 80,000,000? WE DID IT WE ARE SO GLAD WE HIRED YOU BUNGIE">um well actually its just 80,000>and it actually dropped 50k because we forgot to pay the steam sales bots>and nobody is liking the game>and everyone who is liking it, doesn't want to pay for MTX>Sony: ...
>>559512173no it shouldn't have beenit would sell even less copies
>>559515046Who cares it would have been a better game. Maybe it would have sold more even.
If this game makes it six months I'm guessing no refunds right? If so I'm never buying another sony or bungie product. These rich nips have enough money to keep the lights on
>>559514825No refunds
>>559512173>in-name-only immersive sim with the same title as an older franchiseI would say it worked for Prey 2017 but unfortunately that game sold like shit from a complete lack of marketing, the game itself was fucking amazing
>>559514524>weback to ****** with you
It’s over
Caught two vandal players erping on Perimeter.
>>559514817You know what anon, I just sold all my dota 2 cosmetics so I'm flush right now. If you post an image of yourself in a compromising position, I'll gift you the game. The deluxe edition too. Go on, I'll be waiting.
>>559513525>>559513621>exfiltrating with rook doesn't give you silkbullshit.
Is premium currency really not in the pass?
>>559515442What are the odds they were both men IRL?
game is pretty fun. best extraction shooter I played so far. why should I hate it again?
>>559515150>it would have sold moreThe only "Immersive Sim" that did was Dishonored 1
>>559515523Rooks only job is scavenge for guns and money. Can't even do faction shit that would upgrade Rook, as Rook.Silk comes from leveling up the season pass. Extracting gives proportionately higher XP the more stuff you get which is why it's probably been confused for an extraction currency.
>>559515584uhhh cause bungie made it
>>559515673Cyberpunk did.>inb4 "not an immersive sim"you did not play the game.
There is only one way to miss the Rape Bungo
>>559515584you are a sony shareholder and are extremely disappointed in the sale numbers
how do we respond without sounding mad?
>>559515771I did, it's not an immersive sim and even suggesting it is like you are means you have a double digit iq
>>559515794Fuck off with that tps bs.This is the first fps in years where shooting and gunplay actually feels nice, despite all the other obvious issues.
>>559515771Cyberpunk isn't, and I played the game like 3 times.Also, even that example isn't great, there's hundreds of them out, 99% don't sell except Dish1.
>>559513741Yeah that’s true but man this shit happens with any combination of weapons, hitscan to hitscan, shooting someone with hitscan while they have a knife. Doesn’t matter, like I said idk what’s up but this isn’t an arena shooter with respawns like halo where melee trading kills with someone is amusing. This shit just leaves both parties with a sense of blue balls and I swear to God it happens a lot.
Marathon won btw
>>559515876And this is why I have as much respect for "smol indie companies" as for big AAA corpas. Which is zero.
>>559515889>uhh actually it isn't an immersive sim uhh its a uhhh first person action game with rpg elements!This is how retarded you folks sound where you try to force your bullshit
>>559515754thats the main reason why I bought it. bungie games are kino and feel great to play
>>559516008I haven't had that happen once in 40 hours between alphas the lam and launch. We've got two data points now
10 hours until the day 2 peak player count. Then we know if the game will EOS in 31 days
>>559516187It probably sold 3x on consoles. It's fine.
>>559516082>its a uhhh first person action game with rpg elementsYes. Although even saying it has rpg elements is a stretch
>>559516229It needs to have sold like 50x on console for it to be fine.
so dope having a blast, cant wait to get home and hop on, had a moment last night I was like holy shit!
>>559516229that's my cope too
please help me frens...>>559510421
>>559516321THIS
>>559507573>a bunch of swedes>Minecraft>Amnesia>Helldivers>Arc RaidersA bunch of Swedes just came to shake the gaming scene every 5 years or so, and then everybody else followsAre Swedes secretly the greatest Developers
is there a way to check console player count?
>>559516376nope
In 4 hours of playing since this morning I managed to not die only twice.My average lifetime on a map is probably around 3 minutes.
>>559516350not gonna help anime avatar faggotdisgusting creature, go back to discord where you belong groomer
some of the later "do in one run" quests are nearly impossible solo. competing with 10 other players for quest objective + AI enemies, it really is just luck who comes out on top. When I played trios we had usually just 1 team fight, sometimes 2 and that was it. After that is was looting and PvE, but in solos you fight from start to finish
>>559516187why would it EOS? even if it has 10k daily players, thats likely enough for the game to establish itself, warrant server maintenance, and even further updates. the hard part is already done, which is shipping the product. further development and expansion requires much, much less work than has already been done. >>559516291its not 2005 anymore. most profitability is attained over the long run, not at launch. launch figures are nice, but the pricing reflects the strategy to recoup dev costs and profit once the game establishes itself. this is the first time ive touched anything bungie in like literally 20 years and holy FUCK is this the bitchiest community surrounding pretty much anything ive ever seen in my life. ive seen calmer and more levelheaded discussion around the fuckin epstein files lmao
marathon flattened the curve
marathon drained the dire marsh
>>559516321at this point I don't even know towards whom these jabs are directed to considering that half the general hates the game kek
>>559516376Destiny only accomplished this through third-party api access. The only way to vaguely get an idea now is either checking console store rankings that function like the steam top seller list (not looking good last I heard) or if Bungie comes out and tells us. At the end of the month there will probably be something with Sony Q1 financial reports too.
>>559516540Well this publisher's last AAA FPS release shut down within 2 weeks of launch
>>559508779for what purpose would a shell need thick, jiggly thighs
>This is what we can expect out of the boss fightsThis is dogshit
>>559516291Both Highguard and Concord had higher numbers on console, Highguards biggest player pool was PS5 which has an install base of like +70m, if they couldn't save it, nothing is saving Marathon considering the budget for it was massive.
>>559516374They’re not good at code or optimization but they have good intuition for fun game design. Sort of a half Slav Magic
>>559516340It's not even a cope, people just genuinely do not factor on console sales in these player count wars.
>>559516540The game needed like 10mil sales last year to break even and the store has already backfired. They don't want to be living in debt for the next 10 years. Sony doesn't want the game to finally pay for itself in 10 years. They want promising results after repeated failure.
You never cease to entertain me, little marasissies. Time and again, you have moved me to rape. And have I ever withheld the DOOM? No, for I am magnanimous. Raping. DOOMing. And so, I grant you yet another gift: one last chance to join the DOOMGODS. Escharum, in all his glory, has set his raping gaze upon your Marathon. You cannot stop it. Bungie can only go for so long. A feeble company, easily... raped. But you need not share that fate. I instead invite you to join the DOOMGODS, and embrace the inevitable. Alas, you have always been... stubborn. So if you insist on being raped... then I will savor Marathon's fall. Until our next reunion... Marasissy.
they should put gambit in the game
>>559516794trvke
>>559515876An absolutely boring shit game, which SOMEHOW created a new genre of card roguelike games. And you know why? Because a stupid thing + stupid things equals a stupid thing, and all SLAYERS are stupid and therefore like it so much that they bought 500k copies of an early access title which has the same shit and the same game as the first one. How long did they develop it, 5 years, 6 years? And just because a lot of Chinese gamers botted the player count, they think that they can go even with an AAA studio which was bought by prime Sony for 3.6B$. They will be slayed, just like their spire. Everyone will forget that game. And Marathon? It will be remembered for a long time.
>>559516690a lot more engaging than dad fishing simulator: the game
>>559516540>holy FUCK is this the bitchiest community surrounding pretty much anything ive ever seen in my lifeYeah there's a bunch of fucking insufferable lads in here.I don't understand the point of bitching in the general, /v/ is right down the alley if they want to throw shit like monkeys
>>559516814no, Gambit is actually fun.
>>559516540Sony spent around 4 billion dollars on this company. 10k players isn’t worth keeping the lights on at Bungie HQ and employing 1000 people. Especially a $40 title that isn’t making money on MTX
>just get lucky enough to find a sniper bro
>>559516705source?
>>559516690yo this shit is fire bro. bungie absolutely delivered on the zero recoil gun gameplay sheeeeesh im fiending for them raids man
This is the kind of shit you have to have zero tolerance for. Grenade spam these this faggotry on sight.
>>559516778>They don't want to be living in debt for the next 10 years. Sony doesn't want the game to finally pay for itself in 10 years.I'm sure they don't but that doesn't suddenly make the option of shutting the game down completely and losing all future income from it a desirable alternative.
>>559517118nobody talks like that faggot
>>559516949NOOOO WTF I SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO EVERY CHALLENGE IN TWO DAYS
>>559516992From the director
>>559516949At Maintenance on the first floor there is a locker in a big hangar near the exfil, it often has a sniper rifle. I found one there two different times.
>>559517192this poster lives in a low trust society and is most likely some flavor of jeet
>>559517237>the director a very trustworthy source!
>>559517257It really threw me for a loop how during the slam you could find gun lockers and other places with good loot, but it seemed to be placed randomly.
>>559516992his ass
>>559517235NTA but if you aren’t completing challenges and you are just an above average player you will lose money and resources rapidly.
>>559517387The director of the game you moron
coming from tarkov, its fuckin WILD seeing how the AAA sloppa community struggles to digest something that isnt actually total slop. its like the mcdonalds subr*ddit talking shit about maccas giving you a perfectly cooked A5 wagyu instead of your mclargehuge ultrameal with extra hydrogenated corn syrup
>>559517305no, Tau Ceti IV is DA HOODit is full of NIGGERSNIGGERS who want your lootNIGGERS who will shoot (You) on sighttherefore, you shoot everyone else on sight, because they are most likely a NIGGER
>>559517539>food analogy>calling certified slop as not slop
>>559517539Amen brother
>>559517539>coming from tarkovStopped reading right there.
>>559507789wtf what does 4ch mean by that?????
>>559517474Idk between the slam and now launch I've been showered in rewards and never feel poor
>>559517237that doesnt show any numbers
>>559517814You will in 3 mths when everything gets wiped.
>>559508779not gay enough
>>559511613Unless this is like Destiny 2 where it delivers some raid-like content and nightfalls, I really don't see the playerbase coming around on it.>>559516376The only way to gauge how good a game is probably doing on console is to look at their best sellers list.
>>559517927Dire marsh gets a night map in about three months.
>destiny this pve thatsir this is a pvp game, go back to your raped game general
>>559517927I don't think I want to play a raid where there are like 15 other people also vaguely trying to do the same thing with friendly fire enabled and encouraged.
"ROOKS could be here" he thought, "I've never been is this map before. There could be ROOKS anywhere." The cool wind felt good against his bare polyethylene shell. "I HATE ROOKS" he thought. Code Race reverberated his entire NuCar, making it pulsate even as the 9 credit patch circulated through his powerful synthetic veins and washed away his (merited) fear of looters close to extraction. "With a NuCar, you can go anywhere you want" he said to himself, out loud.
cs and quake are pvp gamesthis is a rape game
DOOMCHADS WWE@?
Dire Marsh is the closest thing to Hell we can experience. What a shitshow.
>>559518164REPORTING FOR DUTY
>>559517926NTA but how about now?
Volt SMG is the best weapon for retards, right?
this game fucking sucks 80% of the time but the 20% is good enough to make up for it
>>559517569ROOKS could be here" he thought, "I've never been in this map before. There could be ROOKS anywhere." The cold rain felt good against his silk-woven chest. "I HATE ROOKS" he thought. Code Race (Extended) reverberated his entire shell, making it pulsate even as the 35 credit drinkable cheeseburger circulated through his powerful thick fibers and washed away his (merited) fear of prototype UESC shells with five minutes left in the match. "With a sponsored kit, you can go anywhere you want" he said to himself, out loud.
>>559517871All he claimed was it was 2x higher on PS5, but judging from the graph Xbox players were carrying it too
>everyone says that Destroyer is useless>constantly wipe people by boosting around corners and into themhe is only useless if you play like a little rat bitch
>>559508250they can't, the whole thing need scrapped
>>559518190Don't worry it will get worse when the night version comes out and you get non-stop raped by fags with thermals
>>559518365Yes I think on consoles marathon has sold about 700k copies.
>>559518362ok you did it betterI used up all my brainpower waging today
>>559517539>coming from tarkov Started reading there
wtf is an inventory. is it my vault or loadout?
>>559517539tarkov general is a bunch of miserable uncs that hate themselves
any tips for playing destroyer?
i still have no idea what im equipping half the time. are the implants just head/torso/leg armor pieces basically?
Slay the Spire 2 won, /mg/bros this might be over before it even began...
>>559518598Switching to rook puts your loadout to your vault.Your vault is full.
what runner has the best design, visually?I wanna say recon or destroyer, assassin is 3rd
>>559518598Your vault is full and you have stuff in your current shell's loadout that can't be put away.
>>559518598vault yeah
>>559518489>700kfuck, that's pretty bad, and desu I don't think it even hit that my guess would be 225K
MY SOURCES TELL ME MARATHON SOLD 15M COPIES ON CONSOLEWE VIBIN' AND BLASTIN'
Priority contracts are pretty fun desu. Wish I could do both priority and regular contracts at the same time though.
>>559518425his mobility is sick but his abilities are kinda dumb. his double sprint is so fucking loud
>>559518673The recon helmet seems like it's referencing xenomorphs so it gets my vote
>try to have a blast like the blast havers>get slammed insteadAnyone else??
>>559518709It's is possible. Apparently extraction shooters are way more popular on console.
>>559518671>>559518683>>559518692why dont they just call it a fucking vault then
>>559516350We dont even have a functional UI, Novelite. I doubt there is a way to check melee damage.
>>559518425Shot gun and knife are OP as fuck with his movement tricks.
>>559515734You receive faction xp passively even as a rook.
>>559518673agreed, jackal, thief and assassin look way too much like main characters. tho i do like the doll joints erotic on thief
>>559518763You need to be in a party of atleast 2 other blast havers or you'll be getting slammed. I found people to have a blast with in a random marathon streamers discord.
>>559518784Not true at all, only ARC is, Hunt: Showdown got nowhere on console.
>>559518879Only for doing specific things which is very slow, except for the pvp faction which is naturally high.
>>559518763Fix your positioning, get better shields, get good at the game
>>559516350>expecting raw numbers from bungielmaobetter hope some autist makes a spreadsheet
Nothing could save Highguard because it's soulless. Marathon ironically has soul but presents a soulless environment.
>>559518784You are retarded.
How do I even do other faction challenges? I want to do Tracy’s but everything but Cyac is “Read Only”
>>559518763Use rook and find a team fighting a lot of robots. Disguise and get closer from the robot side. As soon as they're done or when theyre almost done, jump them. Theyre basically on no health
>>559518628use your horizontal mobility to boost around during fights and approach from odd anglesinvest ALL of your resources into heat management, I cannot stress this enoughyou can use your shield to peek around corners with minimal riskyour teammates can shoot from behind your shieldrockets take a long time to arm, pop it BEFORE the fight, don't bother to when you are jumped unless you can get into coveryour rockets can slam into walls and kill you via splashrockets are not as useful as you think and is more of a win more toolunsurprisingly, the rockets work best in PvE (taking out waves in Lockdown, killing the Warden/Commander spam)
>>559519221Earn the faction first
>>559518163I like getting raped :3
>>559518425would've been nice if they did a knock-off version of the security officer for a skin for em
>>559519221Do your CyAc intro missions?
>>559518673i personally like destroyer the best but i think recon is probably the best visual design if i try to be more objective. i just like the lines and the armor. its less brave to make a non cumbait female character these days than it historically has been... but i like that her armor doesnt actually show off an enormous ass or torpedo tits. her design just makes sense visually, more than that, though.
party rook is in the house tonight
>>559518750John of Duty sprinting through the compound to establish dominance and to put the fear of god into the Basedsassins hiding in the corners.
>>559519268thanks for the summary. yeah, I already realized that heat upgrades are very important. Im starving for biomass.>friendlies can shoot through shieldthats big news. I wasnt sure if that works.
>>559515563They were both trannies
>>559519135Sad but true
>>559519336i wonder if there's a correlation between being a subby lil bitch and liking extraction shootersi know there is for me
>>559518628like the other anon said, using your thruster is fucking key. if youre in close, you can strafe jump and immediately boost to totally throw off their aim. supersprint lets you reposition on people faster than basically anyone else. for being the biggest, fattest looking dude on the roster, his flat plane mobility is probably the best in the game. he wont fuck with verticals much at all like vandal can but hes super fast near the ground.
>>559517539>coming from tarkov, its fuckin WILD seeing how the AAA sloppa community struggles to digest something that isnt actually total slopHow the fuck would a Tardcough player know what that is? Your game is literal slav slop.
Sorry doomers, the game is kino.
>>559520094Not even close, tranny.
>>559520094>>559516794
It's kino, shame it's the Titanic
Another Destroyer tip is you can use his boost to negate fall damage by transferring all the momentum horizontally.
>play match with randoms >they engage with npc>we get ambushed in less than a minuteI’m getting slammed bros
Reminder to fill your vault with free MIDA kits while it’s on free rotation. Bully is the best poorfag pvp option
>>559508250delete the extraction part and make it a PvPvE roguelite>map is randomly generated via wang tiles, dungeon / maze like structure only inside the marathon or some large colony facility (no exterior segments outside of maybe a spawn zone)>'raid like' content exists in the dungeon and just like now you're competing against other players to puzzle out how to get to it and beat it before them>completing these things provides permanent mats / items to use on your character (these cannot be lost)>you create a build with items you've looted, lots of perk / attribute variety BUT all items are 'white' and you must upgrade them in every run you do to bring your build to its full potentialno more extraction cancer. PvP retained, negative progression deleted. get to actually have fun with your build. looting still matters. content is more attainable for everyone
Any game with a dedicated "fucking kill that guy skin him wear his hide like a trophy he probably fucked your mother" faction is a good game in my book.
>>559520579>oy vey, make sure you get enough free samples to keep for later!This anon scoops change off the floor and steals handfuls of condiment packets.
>>559520670What faction is that? MIDA?
>>559520752>he doesn't have a drawer full of Taco Bell Diablo sauce
>>559520579That thing saved my ass last night when a green shielded assassin was approaching me cloaked, the retards that run that she'll don't realize it's easy to see them outside in the light
>>559520790Arachne, it's the pure PvP faction.
>>559520893kek
>>559520752>he doesn't have a container of nice condiments in a reasonable quantity that doesn't make the whole container risk expiring after opening
>>559520893Gantry would say this
the 4th maps going to change everything nigga trust the plan nigga
>>559520752
Love me MIDA, shame it's rewards and upgrades suck.
>>559520414I actually avoided marathon because I had a cold at the time meaning I knew even if I did fomo I couldn't actually play it, but I really wish marathon had a little incentive for not shooting people in the back.
Wtf do you mean autosold? I thought this was the key that would be used later.
>>559521357Agility buff seems pretty necessary but the rest suck yeah
arr rook same
>>559521585how much was it worth?
>ignores all lore>ignores all story>goes to youtube>"Marathon lore explained in less than 5 minutes" >watch 2 minutes of it before ADHD makes me turn it off
The genre is so retarded. The winning move is almost always to not play.Even a slight hint of risk? Don't do it. Turn around. Camp. Wait it out. Just don't do it.
>>55952158590% of items are just credit fodder.
>>559521668I got one of them during the beta but I don't think it was worth that much. A few thousand maybe?
Are flechette grenades any good?
>all my team has the traxxus quest except me>we do the traxxus quest>select traxuss quest next run>all team has it>happy>we die 1 minute in
>We could of had a single-player portion of the game or maybe even been left to cook for a few more minutes.Instead they spent money on a prank viedo with the devs behind the two-way mirror gigglinghttps://x.com/MarathonTheGame/status/2029965231636488381You can't make this up.
>>559521806i got a kill with one once
>>559521784How about you stop being fucking gay and full send directly into 3 people like a drunk jackie chan
>>559521806They aren't very good but they are pretty much free damage.
>>559521854lol thats funny
>Moida es watching bruvI love him.
>>559521585If you have its codex entry you're good now.Means more keys to the Marathon will spawn more often
>>559521854
>>559521854What is this? It seems lame and staged.
>>559522058>ywn pop on over to the Greggs for a cheeky sausage roll with Gantry
This game is literal casual filter and it's gonna be dumbed down if not shut down in a month.
220 seconds to use my Recon Q from the very beginning of the game is soooo insane, I literally went through 2 engagements without being able to use it
>>559522296That's what cores and upgrades are for.
>>559522296it'll be easier once sekiguchi unlocks and you can get energy amps from the armory
>>559522232>casual filterI find the game very casual. But it's not slow. You can die and have another kit out very fast. None of the PVE enemies are very hard and pvp is mostly down to luck or very high reaction time players. But nothing is very complex and there isn't really any mechanics to combat or stealth you can't just guess.
>>559521668I got +121 from autosold items after the round and only had some tick meat, so I guess it’s worth nothing. But I ended up with over 2k after the round, so it must have some value.
>>559522425Cryo Archive will unironically fix this.
>>559522425Most people are struggling with the bots and figuring out how anything works, and it's being dropped for not handholding every mechanic. Compared to the modern zoomet audience, this game is not casual.
This game was unironically made for a 2012 gamer audience and not a 2026 gamer audience.
>>559522071Yeah, got it, thanks
>>559522615I don't know why but I don't mind it.
>Friends are too bad to beat lockdown eventGenuinely going to end myself.
>>559522682Is that why I like it so much? Also how the fuck do I go into the rooms with the golden poison shit?
what the fuck is a DCOM how do i send salvage to it
is there any point to playing this game solo long term?
>>559522954You need to find a hazard release key, it spawns randomly.
>>559521784Depends on your goals, I guess having a bit of sandbox experience is too much of a filter for low iq mongoloids as yourself
Reminder that gen-alpha cannot read
>>559522682I am the 2012 gamer audience and this shit is garbage.
>>559522984If you have a mission that requires you to put an item into a DCON it should have them show up on the map as pingable markers. Basically it's a way to get the item out of the map without extracting, but I still don't know if they work without having that mission active.>>559522954You need an access key that activates a nearby laptop/console to clear it. Or just inject a shit ton of resist consumes and brute force it.
>>559522984It's a crate, typically on rooftops. If you're on PC drag the item into it, if you're on console click left trigger and drag it into it
How do I drop just one of an item on console?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lw_572KMPYcwhat the fuck is this paid actor shit
>>559522984they are containers on fixed locations of the maps. you go there, place the item, and it 'extracts' the item immediately (only the quest item, you can't place normal loot)
>>559523647Buy an ad id rather see that than the AI porn shit while phoneposting
>>559523647Normalfags slurp this shit up so if they can extract more money from them to save this game that's fine
>>559523763lol....
>>559523091What can be your goals?You either want to play the game (advance the story, contracts, etc) or you want to grief the poor sods who want to play the game.
>>559522682>2012is this a self-own? 2012 is a universally recognized year that was shit for video games. So if correlate Marathon with that year, it is infact shit too. The only two games people like from 2012 is Hotline Miami which is indieslop and Dishonored 1 which was ok. Marathon shares nothing I common with those two.
So what happens when it drops to 20-30k peak by the end of the weekend like the Slam did?
>>559523878Enemy Unknown and Sleeping Dogs came out that year so fuck you
>>559523878he means it would be popular as one of the first extraction shooters instead of tarkov
>>559523990It won't. Probably.
Honestly, I feel like the game'll go f2p by the end of season one
you fuckers are eating your words now
>>559524150It's. Coming. Home!
>>559524150I mean it's late night for euro fags
>>5595242157pm is late night?
>>559524150150k this weekend?
>>559523990it'll probably stay there, i think the game will settle at consistent 20k peaks going up to 40k-50k at the start of seasons
They need to put premium currency in the battlepass track, don't most gachas do like a 40% return on buying the goypass?
>>559524001yea, so did halo 4, the walking dead s1, resident evil 6 and mass effect 3, and those were so shit. also, sleeping dogs? lol, get your fist out of your ass boomer. True Crime LA & NY were dogshit too.
Pitch a new shell to be added to the game
>>559524150It's not even going to reach yesterday's peak on a friday huh?
>>559518673Recon feels the most like it actually fits the lore, followed by Destroyer and Triage. Why the fuck would these ruthless corporations being printing out combat biobots with a set hairstyle and fashionable outfits in the case of Vandal and Thief?
>>559524384the Bungie Shell, one that is a husk of their former selves and this dead franchise from 1996.
Game is too smart for the arc raiders community.
>>559524367>True Crime LA & NY were dogshit too.I should shoot you where you stand.
>>559524384Something with additional arms that do something
>>559524521I think arc raiders players dont like being shot at by other players
>>559524618yept. arc raider
So what is silk? I’m almost maxed out and I don’t even know where I got it or what it’s used for
>>559504518I watch him play and he said the game was "too complicated" and that he had no idea what was going on, he represents the average normalfag so
>>559524428Imagine the blowjobs from Glitch...
>>559524428Doesn’t they’re lore say lore for theif and vandal say something about them each being designed for public appeal in-universe rather than being purely utilitarian
>>559524428vandal was a mida design. they made the shells look like alt girls so they could blend into civilian populations and then actual human girls started copying the style to be edgy which made it even easier to blend in so they kept producing the look. idk what thief's deal is though
>>559524521Game is too smart for most streamers, which means it's gonna die.
>>559524285To people with normal sleep schedules, yeah. I mean 9pm would be the last call for em.
If you're using a mic that doesn't have voice isolation, just don't talk. No one care hear over the background static when you're fighting other players.
>>559524704isnt it for the battlepass
>>559524704battle pass currency
>>559524728>>559524428Is Thief not a SekGen glowie?
Division 1 did it better
>>559524704battlepass coins
>>559524704battlepass currency
>>559524618ARC is fucking pathetic, that shit sucked so much ass from the moment it was shown. Embark blows ass. We need to bomb Sweden.
>>559524748Going to bed at 9pm on a Friday is not a normal sleep schedule man, are you 80 years old?
>>559524798probably is, i just haven't unlocked her lore yet
>>559524150Iran gamers are going to save this game. Screencap this postThis game has mainstream hit written all over it
>>559524748On a weekend? Are you nuts?
>>559524384A support that looks cool and isn't a negroe
>>559522170Do you think they put real trannies inside of the robotranny costumes?
>>559524082If they don't go F2P literally this weekend the game is permadead. Yes you have to move this fast in the industry nowadays.
>>559523878>indieslopA lot better than your AAA trash you keep putting hopes in
In a perfect world seeing Fortnite Ninja Blevins get smoked by UESC and rage quit would be the biggest glowing review for this game
>>559524925>Yes you have to move this fast in the industry nowadays.its like people dont understand thispeople aren't going to "come back" they are going to move the fuck on
>>559524384tactician shellf ability lets you hack an enemy like what uesc commanders can do, or if you target an ally gives them a random buff like from a consumable but it lasts for 4 minutesprime ability lets you hack a non-commander uesc and make it friendly to you, lasts until it dies and it follows you aroundpassive ability lets you see uesc through walls out to like 20 feettactical ability is a flare gun that lets you call in a supply drop once per game with up to blue loot for you and your squad, has a really long charge time
going back to the game. see you there.
>>559524803Dark Zone was based, I got so much hatemail for fucking people in the ass as they tried to extract their loot. those were fun times. 2016 was GOATED.
>>559524925lol dude brother the raid map isn't even out yet they're not doing that
>last Traxus quest>have to scan something in a trapped room, escaped through a trapped tunnel, and make it to the other side of the map in 3 minutesWHAT THE FUCKI THOUGHT DIRE MARSH WAS BAD
my battlepass just got reset after I silk abused yesterday. looks like they're taking action
>>559524993that did happen during the beta, it was great, then he played some solos on release and it was like incredibly boring and dead lobbies
>>559524851T. under 30
>>559524082nah they'll just look at all the people demanding a single player game and go "look! The game is alive, it has more numbers than suicide squad ever did! Daddy Sony, I'm sure if you give us just 100m more, we can make a single player game using this game's assets and have RE Requiem's playercount!"
>>559524798According to the different skins, the shells are just default designs that anyone can make. They just have an original source.
>>559525081Is the most recent clip I'm seeing from the betas?
>>559525065shoot the powerboxes to turn off the trap lasers/blocked doors
>>559525152the only recent clip I see is his friends telling him to type "arc raiders" and its censored, which is from the beta
is the duping bug fixed???
>>559524367Dragons Dogma, Far Cry 3 (the only good one), Asuras Wrath, Crusader Kings 2, Wipeout, Max Payne 3 etc etc but you are gonna downplay everything and call it shit because is not the yearly lineup of 2007. It's time to let go millennial unc
to the anon sperging about vandal not having rocket jumping with her ability, the answer was its tied to a tree that needs to do outpost which was locked day 1im finally lookin at the tree and its all around the gay implant system
I regret buying this game
>>559525071>lightly abused it by just unlocking all the stuff on the 2nd page>didn't get reverted
>>559525391if you boughted on steam you can still refund
>>559525007They're gonna go back to their comfort game they've been playing for 5-10 years and complain about there being nothing to play lmao. Have you seen the League of legends mazed people? Poor souls
>>559524982>you keep*yawn* try better bait faggot, I platinumed the game out of boredom. I like it, but its still slop. and miss me with "yOu OnLy LikE AAa" I havent given Bungie a dime in almost 8 years and I havent bought a full priced game in 5, so clearly go fuck yourself.
>>559525270This is the one I've been seeing https://x.com/ArcRaidersPVP/status/2029719263439659397
OUTPOST IS UP
>>559525563LMAOyea I think that was from release when he was playing solo
>>559524728That's an explanation for them being used on Earth/Mars, but why would the corps not strip back on those extraneous material costs for production above and deployment on Tau Ceti? Is Traxus hoping the Compilers are going to be charmed by altgirl aesthetics?
...not like this
>>559525097I'd take a fucking a challenge mode like hunt shitdowns trial mode. So, I can explore the map at my own leisure and collect some codex entries
>>559525498If all indiegames are indieslop and all AAA-games are corpo slop, I think your best be would just be to retire from gaming. Maybe get into movies, I bet there's less slop there
>>559525097I typed up "nah, suicide squad had 100k players at launch and still failed" but then I looked it up and suicide squad had a peak of 13k. Maybe this game will be alright, then.
>>559525701they cant code new silk worms
>>559525701Because for the corps to 3d print a runner is really cheap, the excuse that we are salvaging materials from the colony is just a cover, they're actually losing money by going back to TauCeti, they are throwing bodies at the planet hoping they stumble into alien tech to get an edge back on earth
>>559525438>friend gifted me the deluxe edition>abused it to get the full pass>got the entire pass day one>still haven't been revertedOnly thing I'm annoyed by is the knife skin reverts after each death
>>5595226822012 gamers were woke as fuck?
>>559525754I probably should, all the good franchises are dead and the studios that made them are either defunct or filled with trannies now. sad state of affairs i'm afraid.
>>559524384it's a male shell and get this, he is BLACK
>>559525946Obama was President dude.
Why is this general full of reddit and indian shills all of a sudden
>first match on trannypost >magdump a destroyer in the back, he teleports twenty yards away and downs meFantastic game, Bungie.
>>559525705Where is this from?
>>559526121>if you hate the game you're reddit or indian
>>559509971the amount of times we wiped teams because we were just all runnin up to a complex hearing them fight a ton of robots then we delete them in a few seconds as they all leave and just have all the loot they gatheredits kinda disgusting
>friend is really excited to play this with me>said friend is also absolutely dogshit in FPS games
hows the new map
>>559524384Rape Shell.
>>559508638All of this + add ass on shell's.And replace the entire model for recon and that shield retard shell.Has fucking concord still not thought developers that making unfuckable characters is a losing strategy?
>>559525946How the fuck is this game even woke
>>559526102the ICE guy?the muslim bombing guy?
>>559526190I dunno anon... if that's what I can call you... it seems like most of the hate is coming from ARC chunguses and destiny, uh, "humans"...
>>559525759no shot, this game must've had a budget of atleast $200m and they bought out Bungie for $3.6bn, the chance of this game making Sony any money is practically zero. Seattle is an expensive ass city that has taxes like crazy, you can expect more layoffs soon enough.
>>559526253I lagged out twice. Wonderful video game.
>>559517927the only people that thought that shit was a good idea do not play these games
>>559525456you can't refund after a few hours of playtime on Steam
>>559526190ironic because reddit is in full panic mode defending the game and bungie
>>559526302Yeah but he was Black so it was okay
Why are all the steam reviews good?
>>559526290>every robot is black soemhow>woke tranny artstylethis isn't reddit you won't gaslight me
>>559526190>shills>hate
>>559526406who gives a fuck about reddit
>>559526370meant for >>559518106
>>559526326arc raider players have said over and over again the want marathon to do good so it hopefully makes their dev actually do some updatesbut seems they are fine just casually releasing stuff at a crawl even balance updates, theres just no competitionI can see D2 players being mad, their game was literally killed for this one
>>559526387Valve does some exceptions on games that get refunded a lot during their first day, he loses nothing by trying at least.
>>559526470no need to gaslight you. you are already retarded

Never played a Bungie game beforeWhats the deal with all the "Rape" jokes? is an old Bungie trope?
>>559526387>>559525391I think you can still ask, obviously don't abuse the systembut if you genuinely didn't have fun and felt like you wasted your money, they are usually pretty cool about that stuffits just under 2 hours for automatic refund

>>559526573great rebuttal, glad we both agree the game is wokecan't wait to order fries from you
>>559526741there are 3 actuallyall the male ones
this game seems like it would be fun to invest my time into and slowly get better over time and work on my account progression and maybe one day compete with the big guys>theres mandatory resetsnevermind
>>559525391>imagine buying this dogshit even when you were aware of the the red flagsLMAO
The COO COO sound in this game's ambient bg gives me anxiety. Am I gay and should I become a sissy?
the ttk complaint will not go away. its only awakeningit will be the somalian tax fraud. the public isn't aware of it and the media is only covering it up with the veil that only stays up because they call you a racist(shit at the game)
>>559526938>and slowly get better over timeyou have 2 months
>>559524579I second this and make it female
no friends...
>>559526159looks like backloggd
>>559527078I got called a little sissy boy and got kind of turned on and a guy said he was going to make me strip and give him all my loot just because I posted>this game seems so hostile >.< even the main menu music makes me feel like I'm going to get shot in the back at any moment while making my loadout
>>559526461Desperate cultist updoots + the open beta filtered many potential buyers before they could leave a bad review before getting a refund.
>>559526461Everyone played the server slam and didn't like it didn't buy, and going by the numbers not many people bought that didn't already try it in the slam.Also the Concord 3 meming has created a really cultish mentality among those who like it and use social media. Just look at the reddit and you'll see how loopy they are.
>get distracted for a second>get BLASTED by a backshotDamn dawg
>>559524384idk just pick some abilities from some other hero shooter and see what works
So how is Outpost?
>ONE skin in the entire battlepasslol?Tell me none of you bought that shit
What is this game and why is it doing better than Marathon?
>>559527479its shit
>trying to get the nucaloric quest started>fags are just camping the id buildingFuck it guess I'll just farm rook runs, not like I'm losing anything since I'll use starter kits.
>>559527316>Start blasting an Assassin from the back with my Bully from 3 feet away>Dump half a clip>He turns around and downs me with his Volt pistol>didn't even break his shieldsI think either the netcode is completely broken or the silencer is, his shields flashed for every shot, and he was getting shot at by a UESC heavy at the same time
>>559527479Everyones trying to Sekiguchi atm so that means everyone rushes to one location, everyone dies and then whoevers left cmaps the second portion of the contract in Orientation.My tenth attempt so far with everyone, and I mean everyone just dying because Orientation has tons of C4 posted around and dozens of UESC invis units.
>Squadmate has a hot mic>probably ps5 shit>sounds like a constant wind tunnel>can hear the echo of my voicemake it stop

>>559527584jesus fuck, it truly is over.
>>559527610I got really lucky and the people in my lobby were just chilling there since everyone wanted to do the quest. I guess the ladder got pulled up.
>>559527584Marathon is only doing bad because of slay the spire.
>>559527584Puts the little cartoon can on your screen. The cat taps whenever you press a button and a number goes up. Over time you get cosmetics for the cat. You leave it on while doing other things.This appeals to the casual audience that Bungie failed to capture.
no firing range to test out shit is probably the most fucked up thing. i need to tweak my controller settings (not a lot to begin with LOL) and i need to test gunsmaybe they are hiding how fuckin egregious the ttk is. yes. thats gotta be it...
These damn R**ks are stealing them Battlepasses
>>559508361>make it like CoDThank the Lord these retards have no seat at the table of discussion when it comes to actual game design
>>559527721Sounds rough, maybe I'll try it at night when it's quieter. Or some Rook runs just to get a feel for the map.
>>559527721This reminds me of a similar situation to sea of faggots where some shithead camps one of the tall tales and just smokes the person doing the quest
>>559527752expect lay offs first and if that doesn't increase projected revenue, then yea, they'll gut it.
>>559525705The score started at 2.8 yesterday cause I shit you not, Destiny 2 assrape victims and Arc Raiders fans. Most of the low scores on there can be directly attributed to one of those groups
>>559525061Then bungo leadership are idiots. The following needs to happen this weekend:>every current owner gets premium battle pass and enough premium currency to buy out the store>let everyone download the game for free>maintain this deal for anyone that wants to buy, and announce a rotating roster of F2P shells is coming in the next few weeks during the transitionIt's the only way.
>>559527721Also, Outpost is smaller than Perimeter because everyones forced to stay in doors.
>>559527213i got the same vibe but instead of making me sissy its turned me into a schizo depressed rat with anxiety scurrying in the shadows
>>559527739Turn off crossplay or yell at them telling them they are hot mic'd. This game defaults to open mic btw. Why? Who the fuck knows.>>559527578I thought it was going to give me a cool little booklet pdf with game dev stuff in it like Killing Floor 2 did. I am enjoying the game but damn the refund button is very appealing right now.
>>559528018Conversely most of the high scores can be attributed to Bungie fanboys and culture tards upset about it being labeled a Concordlike.
>>559511194Yeah it’s bizarrely shortchanged as far as industry standards go. I like the earnable shit off codex that’s cool, and nobody’s trying to put Destiny Star Wars baby yoda in there yet or Bong Man, but finite charms and stickers and a paid pass with only 1 skin, and as other people said it’s a skin people alleged got for participation in the one early test, that’s a bit odd.I mean sure there’s enough crap on the basic weapon skins as is so it’s not a big deal with stickers and I get this isn’t a dress up game but like yeah I get people being annoyed. I like the game otherwise
>>559527721who is this novelty pastry cat that I keep seeing everywhere?
>>559526938the resets help people in your case though, you'll know everything and will be better at the game so will be able to compete for resources quicker
Nona is a milf bros
>>559527913I still don't know why the fuck it's even an inventory item but whoever that was actively put it into their loadout
>>559528039>download our paid game for freeyea, devs have tried this and it doesn't work out, Bungie is a despised company, all their goodwill is gone.
>>559528180Fat cat from xiv
>>559527907On some certain corners I’ve heard posts and comments being flagged and bots auto reporting and all that if people bring up the game having a shit pile of aim assist. Calculated hit job to push the “git gud” muh positioning boys who completely downplay the potency of what having guns that fire in a straight line with no drop effect velocity stuff and have high AA can do
>>559528039You cannot pivot that fast. You have to wait at least a month and try a desperate 50% off sale first.
I JUST WANT MY FUCKIN PIPES
>>559528464its really hard to see gun differences when were talkin like 25 ms differences at most between them alllike oh this gun shoots faster and still kills as much as this other gun that only takes two shots. like thats probably why im having such a hard time finding a gun i like. so far its the halo 3 battle rifle but i cant for the life of me remember the name of it. and i cant even reliably buy it from the shop with unlocks either. but i can buy some bullshit one-two tap shotgun and sniper rifle with enough investment in the tranny killer agency
>escaped sekucoochie hellIM FREE NIGGAS AHAHAHA
>do the Traxus storyline>ORION is actually quite reasonable>ORION has got the screen similar to other agentswe are gonna work for him blackops style aren't we
>>559528464theres an attachment that adds better aim assist its actually really fuckin funny. maybe it means for the smart energy weapons but again, i cant test or look into shit because no firing range.
>>559528743That's what they intended. An equal playing field when it comes to guns and attachments don't increase damage
>>559528804ATTENTION RUNNER: I need someone to fuck my robussy
we're about to break 60k
>>559523647This is again why I do not trust any integrity of anything if Bungie tries to have some sort of “contest/world’s first” for unlocking or beating Cryo. Going to be a discord server load of people bubble wrapping some eceleb’s lobbies
>>559528982This will be a comeback for the ages.
Where do I turn off crossplay I can't find it in Settings.
>>559513213Based on like the first devblog they put out years ago I won't be surprised if later seasons/deeper levels actually bring the grit. Not that it'd one day become the only environment/gear available, but it seems like a logical direction if you're going to use the IP.>start as a nobody>become military grade veteranI hope they last long enough to get there.
>>559528886Yeah I had that one it I think makes the volt battery travel with more homing effect. But you’re right I used it in heat of moment and couldn’t tell if it was technically projectile homing like Destiny 2 healing auto rifles or usual hit scan
Maratroons attack!>I dread to think how much of the budget went into this

ITS UP. OUTPOST IS UP. having a blast!!!
>>559529162Are you forgetting the 90 day wipes you moron? Looting the gear is what's suppose to make you badass. The wipes is to keep the beginning on equal footing.
>really cool cutscenes and world building>worst extraction shooter gameplay on the market and would have been infinitely more successful as a PvE shooter or PvP arena shooteri will be mad about this game for a long time
>>559529196was about to head to bed and looked all the different modchips/attachments/implants and its really fuckin jarring how much shit they are adding that seems like adding spicy flavoring for the hell of it. just random shit to bloat the loot pool>green shield>green shield but has half shield damage fixationswont notice unless you hover over it or swap to view how much it sells in the shop>mod that lets you shoot bullets that makes crow distractions with hitsniche shit that only seems practical if you're takin potshots at someone with weak bulletstheres a ton of niche things in here but you put it in a system where you lose this shit after death when something like this should be kinda like, imbedded into a shell in another form of progression.
>>559528743Pretty much how I’ve felt. And this far along with time in the game, I’m not sure where I land. Destiny always had a shit pile of aim assist but with actual not p2p lasagna code, the shooting feels a little better in some things with Marathon and i don’t entirely despise being able to just grab something go for heads and fuck up somebody who on paper should’ve outplayed me. I get it’s a two way street and I get why all these corny weirdos keep doing the “you’re playing the game wrong muh positioning”. I also do get people frustrated all together who probably were never going to click with the game, it takes a certain frame of mind to get enjoyment from this
just took a huge marathon
>>559529273Too many women work at Bungie
>>559528982The vibes have shifted. People will study this for years to come. Bravo Bungie! I hope they ignore the chuds and focus on the strengths of the game rather than diluting what makes it good.
our cocks are shifting and we are liking the marathon it's the winning game and we are women don't @ me
Some absolute gigachad is in the discord having a total spergout about the games movement not being fast enough for his liking
>>559529529There’s a gold mod for the WSTR that basically makes it way more free for the stuff it does to spread, cone, lil bit of range, and you get an alternative slug firing mode that basically might as well be ammo saver because you’re putting them down like Roadborn proc Chaperone from D2 with a touch less range. I know they said “we want gold mods to feel like cheating” and uh yeah it’s a lot . But it’s something to go after so I get it
>>559529529they intentionally flood the trait pool with garbage to keep you chasing the useful ones, this IS the same devs who made destinysome of them (all the cardio kick ones) could maybe have some fun meme builds if putting builds together wasn't such a massive pain in the ass like you said, but some of them are just 100% useless (ornithologist)
The game will have over 200k players on the weekend. Screencap this post doomers
>>559529429I don't understand the obsession of making every game PVP, helldivers is full PVE and it did great.
>>559529530yeah after being part of that two way street, it doesn't even feel good droppin someone with a freekit.the aim assist is just doing all the work. someone tryin to be a sliding mlg tard around a corner and i'm droppin them in under 2 seconds with a bully. it doesn't feel good.positioning memes just to hide how egregious the balance is. when are we going to move on past how positioning memes makes the game fuckin corny and stale? i got in a firefight with people peaking behind corners in a 100 yard range. i get downed and i cna simply just revive and heal anyway. theres no way anyone can rush or push because they will just fuckin die with the amount of yards between us.we ended up just runnin and going for hauler, they didn't chase, and we just extracted safely anywayits fucked. the games retarded like that. i would have to sit on low ttk vs high ttk again because the situation i described is what anti-high ttks would argue would happen when it clearly just happened with low ttk.
How do runners maintain memories from runs where they died? I thought they were basically copies of a person's brain every time they have to make a new one.
This game is probably going to feel so much different when you can actually afford to consistently build a char
>>559529943"Runners" are basically turned into AI and uploaded into the shell. When they get downed it starts an emergency protocol to stop them from taking too much brain damage and if needed fully eject them from the shell.
I genuinely wish twitch fags would get beheaded live
>Don't cater to PVEGODS>DieMany such cases.PVPsissies should learn their place at the bottom.
>still get credit for a mission if you complete it "in one run" but you die
>>559529943the shells are mass produced. you put your consciousness in them (cyac legally owns your consciousness) and when a shell is about to die it automatically ejects your consciousness

>>559530402This shitty game should've went the forever winter route of making it coop but you have to worry about your team shooting you in the back with loot not being procedural for each person. At least that way bungie could've made the maps somewhat more interesting instead of feeling like the lifeless combat arenas of destiny 2.

The most satisfying part of this game is when both your squadmates die because they're CoDlets, and then they yell at you over the mic to jump down and die in a 3v1. lol.lololololThen they disconnect and you take all their shit,.
>>559530402yeah but all those pvp games are free.
>super hyped third map drops>58k players>I will see Bungie die in the next 12 months
>Requires season level 12lmeoooooooooow I'm only level 6 and I played all day yesterday and today
>>559531214The map is gated behind season pass level?
>>559531191I give it like maybe three to four weeks until most the player count dies down heavily, it's probably only staying high as is because of twitch fags.
>>559529937I agree had a fire fight in the sorta parking garage open basement of that center part of Dire Marsh where it’s like we couldn’t exactly bum rush or do mlg big flanks when the stairwell they were in basically was a fortress of corridors. We did get a down first and like a complete ape I just threw the flame pool grenade thing on the guy trying to res his friend who didn’t close to door and it was basically an attrition fight where I had like no ammo or health by end of it and my teammates basically went after their 3rd by using thief’s grapple to go up to a spot the would have had to take the long way around. I mean it wasn’t super brain dead or one sided but it’s like both teams mitigated the rehealing and backing off by just having the high spurts of damage and really that high spurt that got placed at right time and place did it. And I’m not saying we gotta be grass sim Tarkov slow core , I “get” Bungie trying to have the game shift gears midway. It’s just the game turns arena shooter real quick and the whole “you’re playing wrong” you need to be more methodical kinda takes a back seat when our super man powers come out
>>559529529>>559529803Trust me when I say this is the least complicated way to build in this game due to how much trash is in the loot pool.>Agility>Melee DamageThen choose, or both, if you can Tactical Recovery or Primary RecoveryDue to sheer fact of how awful the gearing system and effects are ignore them and if you come across cores for your class its better in the long run to only install/equip one and the other being a generalist one
>>559531000>teammates rush into an obvious ambush at extract>one of them starts the extract in the middle of a firefight>both die immediately as I hang back>jump into the extract at last second before the other team notices me>teammate starts screeching at me "IT DIDNT HAVE TO BE LIKE THIS BRO"lol get fucked faggot, maybe use your head next time
>>559516690this is just destiny but worse

How does reviving after death work
>>559531656you just hold e over their bag instead of their body basically. iirc it might take a bit longer than from downed
>>559531626just type chat
alright thats enough, come here marasissies
>>559531329just the seasonal rank, you progress on it for playing or doing anything, though exfiling is worth a lot more, so getting to 12 could probably take between 5 hours to like 20 if you keep dying over and over.
59k.. we're doing it. we're really fucking doing it
>>559531656It doesn't in the lore they've setup. It's just a videogamey thing they did so that you can't be totally fucked over if your teammates run off and die instantly since you can go revive them after the people who killed them leave. Most people will instantly leave the match at the first sign of trouble tho.
>>559504497The UESC Marathon map is going to be full of Rooks camping kitted out people so they can skip the grind of previous maps and tackle the raid boss instantly, then fail and repeat until they beat it.
someone remind me, didn't destiny seasons even have technically 2 skins/armor pieces in the battle pass/seasonal pass? you had the base set for the season then you'd have the special ornaments right?
>>559531779nnnh....spare my soft marasissy faghole, please....
Player counts don't matter until I log in. I'll be on later, don't worry.
>>559530921In no particular order:>DotA>League>Counterstrike>Hearthshart (or whatever card game)>CoD/Halo (or whatever generic Hollywood shooter)
>>559531957>nigga listing free gameshell nah
>>559531780Yeah but if the map is only gated to seasonal rank than the 4th hardmode map is just going to be the same thing. There are going to be people slumming it up in there.
Doomposting and shilling aside, I'm honestly curious what Bungie was thinking with this game."We cancelled multiple projects, had several layoffs, killed off our golden goose franchise. What should we do? Oh, I know! An extraction shooter with .3 second TTK reusing the corpse of one of our original games!"Not being able to hit 100k is....insane for a Bungie game. Especially after 400 million and six years.
>>559532047Free is big
>>559531870Rooks aren't allowed in raids retard
>sekiguchi second quest wants you to hunt down the invisible bots, get data from a specific place, then drop it in a dconI’m sorry, fucking what? Want me to pull the goddamn sun out of the sky to give you some shade too? This shit is already like vietnam.
>>559531472im pickin most of the bottom 1/2/3 based off just passive "attribute" buffs that make all my "stats" higher that appear on the loadout screen (looting/ firewall etc etc etc)easier that way. the tiny little perks are so niche that i dont bother
AI enemies need to be towned by 50% at a MINIMUM. 2 shield and full health and died in 3 seconds to 2 enemies rushing with a shield
>>559531656Bungie are Scientologists
>>559532067Why Marathon is not free then? are they retarded?
>>559532065extraaction shooter with a tiny TTK that also has shit like invisibility, a bunch of "builds" that are completely fucking pointless and PvE that is the polar opposite and bullet sponges everything and feels like shit*
>>559531000happened to me lmfao. overflow both my teams in the second story windows and the team is underneath us and they decided to jump down and diethen yell at me and say "go out left of the window and do a 180" and its like yeah man, im just gonna fuckin drop down and spray both of them down like im batman with a gun. why the fuck would you give away a disadvantage and die where i would have to do that? makes no sense
>>559532185Why pablo write question like this?
>>559531957>DOTAit's a PVE game, russians aren't people
>>559532137
>>559532057People are thinking the Marathon map will only be accessible via keys that drop from Outpost, but I don't think it's been confirmed one way or the other. Like the launch trailer made me think it would just be gated by either days or via event rather than specifically keys, though the only thing I feel semi-confident about is that access won't be permanent/consistent.
>>559531919That is correct. While it wasn’t restricted to the pass and just static rolls, seasonal armor was always on the pass, and by the later portion you’d get the class specific ornament sets and Final Shape added a class agnostic shared helmet item. You also got a fair bit of shaders and bright dust(obv comes from other sources too) that could be spent in shop. So yes this is an odd move even for Bungie’s own rules. If I was a betting man I wouldn’t be shocked if the original custom character had a shit pile of assets cloned off Destiny that were supposed to be like individual clothing pieces and just they don’t have a ton of actual unique models for the heroes
There's no skins for Rook?
>>559531603Now that you mention it...It's rumoured that the next Halo will also have "insurrectionist Spartans" (Janissaries, look it up) in both campaign and PvE multiplayer, either elite enemies or bosses, these guys have been giga-shilled in recent lore over and over, even the previous game's most sold stuff was all Janissary cosmetics. So I either see Halo revive in-full or they die the same death that Marathon will. Depends entirely on execution of the concept. Interesting plan.
>>559532190still gettin pelted with "if you think this is bad try tarkov xD" and dont go any further. Reddit is slowly waking up because half their forced shilling/marketing/defense squad fucked off since the check cleared and now its about 50/50 games fucked/games good
>>559532065The copium of people saying ahem Arc Raiders without any sense of awareness how it was a rarer gaming situation all together and still doesn’t necessarily change the “extractions are niche” conversation. But yes Bungie are weirdos for sticking to this, even if it’s not a bad time
Bungo, WTF
>>559532190Git gud>>559532065>Especially after 400 millionThis budget magically raises every single time By tomorrow this game will be more expensive than GTA7
>>559532531since leddit wants to hide the controversial tab
>>559532065>killed off our golden goose franchiseI genuinely think this was almost completely coincidence. Like the company still has 800+ employees, and Marathon accounts for maybe 350 of them, it's not like Destiny has no staff to work on it. I think they legitimately just fucked Destiny up by complete incompetence.Though that's not like Marathon isn't a fuck up, a fairly niche genre that they're designing to intentionally be on the hardcore side realistically isn't going to have a 300k daily CCU - the amount of content the game has and the number of players it's reasonable to expect just do not merit the staff count by any stretch of the imagination.
>>559531191Unironically yeah.The third map isn't even that great its a smallish map
>>559530402There's no PvP in MHWilds
>>559532620Arc Raiders is not niche because it's not a real extraction shooter. It has several systems to casualize the game other than a safe backpack which waters down the entire concept.Marathon was made EXACTLY with the concept of an hardcore experience where you are an expendable brain in a jar inhabiting 3d printed shells.It's the kind of diegetic failure state that you would find in a Fromsoftware game.If Bungie wanted to push for sales at the cost of game design, they wouldn't have taken this direction
Keep the game alive I'm doing my Kards dailies
Outposts a borderline a pve map.
>>559532682chinese audience doesn’t like to write reviews'eck players are just lazy, they can’t even properly play games on a computer, you see. that’s why they bought some miracle device that lets them play sitting in their favorite cuck chair
Every gun customization should be scrapped and put onto the shells.
>>559533121arc raiders has a bit of the hardcore with the way movement and guns workthis is so steamlined that the only thing "hardcore" about it is that you just die too fuckin fast due to everything like the guns having metaphorical wheelchairs and side bumpers to bowling
>teammates don’t talk on voiceYup, another failed run!
>>559532825>how do I refund the game on PSNlel, you'll have better luck finding 40$ in your gas tank than those slant eyed Jews giving you a dime back.
This is game is good and the only people who hate it are the ones who suck at it
>pc gamer puts out an article at how marathons NPCs clear any of the AI slop arc raiders has>this isn't even shilling because it's the objective truth>social media comments are full of "PAID SHILL", "COULDNT BEAT HIGHGUARD", "ARC RAIDERS CLEARS" and other disingenuous commentsit was going to be an uphill battle if people actively don't give a shit about the game beyond wanting it to fail
If you want the TTK higher you should legitimately end yourself.
>>559533457...and do it fasteheh
i farted on my ass
Soooo when is the next content drop?
>arc raiders is hardcoreI actually laughed out loud
Damn it smells like shit in here
>>559533363Their system is literally ass backwards. You are ineligible for refund once you download the game. Not a hour of play, Not even on start. On download you're stuck with it.
>>559533602Never, game will be sht down in 2 weeks.
>>559533434I haven't played Arc but I'm betting the enemies are more interesting than humanoid bot that seems suspiciously like it's just reskinned from Destiny.
Guys I’m hearing the vibe shift on marathon is crazy
>>559533302>arc raiders has a bit of the hardcore with the way movement and guns workLOOL
>go in with full loadout, giga prepapred>die 70% of the time>go in with free loadout, be a rat with a knife>exfil 70% of the timeif ttk is what it is then it doesnt seem worth bringing tons of shit
>>559533890yeah its actually way more along the lines of hardcore in a sense where theres management going onthis game has fuckin auto pickup for some of the loot. auto aiming for some guns. theres nothing hardcore going on with this game
damn keyrooms are pretty coollike ~11k value out of one, just packed with blues
>>559533920No point in getting a good loadout with the ttk being so low, you're better off selling shit that isn't needed for upgrades.
>>559532894Part of it was incompetence, the other was trying to compensate by having to work on two live service games at once. Bungie turned D2 into a grinding treadmill with terrible design hoping people would just accept the grind as content and made practically all of the old content irrelevant, while giving subpar, clearly rushed and lame content as replacement. The players just didn't fall for it and then despite being in this terrible state they abandoned Destiny to go all hands on deck after Sony threatened them with the SIVA katana to have Marathon out the window before the end of the fiscal year, now Destiny is completely dead, still suffering the same issues from a year ago and with player trust at an all time low.
>>559533920>if ttk is what it is then it doesnt seem worth bringing tons of shitMy friend told me that Arc Raiders had this problem for a long time where the free shit was still in the faster ttk for pvp so nobody bothered with anything else.
>>559534097this. at least freeloadouts give you a rep boost too.no reason bringing in good shit unless you bring shit designed to 1 shot people like shotguns/thermal scopes
>>559534052i'm too scared to run them solo but i don't want to risk bringing a key into fill and getting retards :(
>>559534097LOLThere's a massive powergap between sponsored kit weapons and the better weapons, even exclusing the color tierJust because you rush like a retard and die it doesn't mean loot is bad
>trying to do Arachne quest solo>either can't find players or find their corpses after they get killed
>>559533857the article is talking about the vendors that have really awkward stilted AI TTSbut yeah the enemies in arc are pretty varied, I do like them more than marathons
>>559534352we could run them together....though i cant even buy them yet i just found one in raid and opened it
what are the numbers for tarkov? hunt showdown etc?y'know REAL extraction shooters
>>559534447>>559534447>>559534447>>559534447>>559534447
>>559534434The power gap is like a scope dude
>>559533602UESC Marathon raid boss but I can't believe it's just a single compiler. They really are going to have every single goddamn alien be a boss each. We are stuck with the UESC as the PvE fodder forever.
>>559534434color tier is just the attachmentsunless you're running thermals in a specific situation it's not going to make or break a fight
>>559534434It's not really much of a power gap if you're nailing head shots with the heavy rounds.
>>559533434>because it's the objective truth>HP sponges that run at you in a straight line
>>559529416You can still introduce new gear, enemies and environments.
>>559532682I think it's partially what >>559533197 said and partially the playerbase being a bit antsy about the future of the game and trying to spread some good word of mouth.
>>559533857its about the fact that the game uses AI voices, whereas marathon actually puts effort into the NPCs with cool visual designs and good voice actors
>>559534460It's talking about that? The Vendors are barely a thing in Marathon anyways. I'm guessing this is a very low bar situation with Arc's vendor's being placeholder worthy.
>>559534561No. The M77 for example clears the Overrun AR>>559534625Yeah try doing it with repeater vs flatline
>>559533602Game wont even make it to next month with how things are going. With Sony having a new CEO from Japan this time it's double-finished.
>>559535029not with immaculate positioning.
>>559535029git gud
>>559532894they simply do not know how to satisfy the Destiny 2 playerbase anymore. Lightning in a bottle is a meme but that game was seriously it, they accidentally created an interesting combination of setting/lore/gameplay and then had no idea whatsoever how to capitalize on that.
I hate Traxus contracts
>>559533121Yeah it's interesting to see the different development tracks that resulted in Arc Raiders vs Marathon. Everyone wants to get the attention that Tarkov has, but it's REALLY obvious that game devs don't know how to iterate on what Tarkov created. The fact that they're incorporating character wipes like it's a core part of the game archetype is really telling.
>>559528909Okay sure where you from
>>559536509>The fact that they're incorporating character wipes like it's a core part of the game archetype is really telling.I'm not sure what else you can do. Wipes were a function of Tarkov's development hell trajectory but it ended up being actually kinda nice. You see seasons in all kinds of games, too, so even the idea that seasons are directly downstream of Tarkov is not necessarily true.
Game is fun but I feel like it's impossible to play without frens especially all the higher difficulty stuff
>>559530635YES
>>559538523Equipment is king for solos in this case, smoke makes you cheese bots, emp makes commanders easy targets.I tried taking on the Wraith Warden and almost did it before retreating because out of ammo, but would have probably made it with a MIPS gun and an EMP
Is it gonna peak today?
>>559526470>t. actual retarded ass mongoloid.
>>559540792Possibly. Unlikely though desu, I expect this game to experience VERY slow growth after Cyro Archive is unlocked and reviews come out and be in a slump until then
