>when the 100+ hour destiny post-mortem documentary gets to the lightfall section
>Joe Ziegler is already on vacationhttps://files.catbox.moe/m55ok4.webm
>>559644368
>>559644585is joe still working at bungie?
>>559644660Ziegler is, Cross is not.
>>559644276>hes actually trying to become a korean womanhahaha holy shit Byf now looks like a giga chad by comparison.
Marathon saved!Weekend will make me God!
>marathon general is still well alivebungie erased destiny the game and destiny the general
>>559644893Sorry I should've clarified. Anyways I wonder if cross is silently celebrating bungies demise since they canned him
>>559645130Anyone who knows how to read a graph can see that the decline is steady and suggests total collapse in less than two weeks.I genuinely didnt expect it to be THIS fast good lord.
>>559645239Umm no, akshully, it's umm... P-playstation has six million secret players... y-yeah!
If you've ever said you wanted Destiny 2 to be the best it's ever been then you need to lock in and support marathon. I don't care if you don't like the game. It needs to be a huge success for Bungie to put it back into D2. Buy the game, get your friends to buy it, praise it everywhere on the internet, do whatever you can to make sure marathon succeeds. We're all in this together, Bungie has been there for us for well over a decade, now we have to be there for Bungie.
>>559645239why? consumer patience with AAA/hollywood has been steadily decreasing since everything started turning to slop around 2010 and now we are asymptotically close to zero. if your game is shit we will bully it starting from announcement to after it gets put in the fucking dirt like it deserves.
>>559644343Even less reason to keep them around desu
are we doing aew number posting now?marathon no milly
>>559644032Yucky! Look at those evil straight m*les next to wholesome chungus real boi rapedsputin.
>>559645391they already left there's no one to remove
>>559645347I saw that tweet.>>559644037>>this company had hundreds of thousands of viewers for raids and dungeons in D2 and 300k steam peaksThis is objectively bad. Turning raids and dungeons into "watchable" esports events was what started the decline of D2.
>>559644276>can see the writing on the walls for d2 and marathon>goes to koreaHe's gonna get primo gook plastic surgery and became a crossdressing escort, cosplaying as all (You)r favorite D2 foids while he 남자의 성기를 빨고 정액을 마시고 항문으로 받아들인다

>player count is genuinely going down during premium prime time hoursThe absolute fucking state.
>>559645776like tears in the rain
Losing 10k players per day is a good thing, chuds
>>559645319THOSE 6 BILLION PLAYERS WERE PROMISED TO SONY 3000 YEARS AGO
>>559645130>70k average during NA hours>drops by 50% during non-NA hoursgeg. I guess its not surprising that the main audience seems to be americans/californians with all the tranny visuals going on and androgynous character design
>>559645776Reminds me of clown car of tower randoes me and a bro would always teach and carry through VoG and Crota back in the day. Marathon and D2 could never have such sovl. Before everything was gay watchable turbo aids and most people weren't try hard, guide watching nigger, youtube watching faggot, metal slave monkeys...
>>559643774Wrong youtube linkUse https://youtu.be/LlFeBxSBZUo?si=wdhbLP6B6fJkwJaL next time please
Do we have a list of copes and what have you that have come from marathon? Things like how the iran war has affected marathon player counts or that we need to spend 8 hours for the game to finally click
>>559645643>Turning raids and dungeons into "watchable" esports events was what started the decline of D2.I also hate shadowkeep (even though technically they started that shit in forsaken but oh well fuck shadowkeep)
>>559646164I see a lot of shills/sloptubers say>It clicks/gets fun 15-30 hours in
>>559646164>IT'S NICHEThe only true cope is sort of admitting defeat, cause yeah, the numbers are fine for a niche game, but that's not what Bungie needs right now at all.
>>559646367but bungie must have known that extraction shooters are niche before making their game...right?
>>559646261Those people are retarded.Being raped also gets fun 30 hours in.Just because something starts 'feeling' fun after you get mind broken doesn't mean it's fun.
>>559646103ew
>>559644194Imagine if they released old Chicago as a giant patrol zone. Rarely, you'll encounter another player. Maybe do a puzzle together. Get to the top of a skyscraper. Find some hidden treasure. Never see each other again.Rape Bungie
I still don't understand why this is the only game I can think of with Raids where the devs make it so 90% of the players can't/won't ever do it at all instead of making the base version easy enough to learn and complete while real prestige rewards and cosmetics are earned from the hard/challenge modes. Like what the actual fuck. I bet if they didn't also rape dungeons into the dust but instead expanded on the explorer mode, or whatever it was called from that event, then the playerbase would not have died as fast, assuming they just never introduced the portal fucking turbo raped dungeons and raids that way. They are so retarded it's unreal
>>559646423Obviously, it was meant to be one of four other projects that existed alongside Destiny. Then they all got canned cause they fucked up their only title and now they're trying to force it into the mainstream through bot campaigns.
>>559646571i miss when nobody gave a shit about the world first race and the raids weren't tuned for them
>>559646563sounds gay, how about a horrible laggy 6 player mess for a seasonal activity instead
>>559645643To be fair. They had those viewers going back to D1 raids. They only recently started making raids specifically for Twitch. I think the point was more about how Bungie had such huge cultural mindshare that they neglected and tossed out
>>559646791that bald fuck evanf is solely responsible for that shit
>>559646563in the unlikely event that they release destiny 3 one of the biggest things they need to do is make patrol zones actually sprawling and open and not just a series of tiny little areas connected by hallways
>>559646950>To be fair. They had those viewers going back to D1 raids.Nope.
How long can expect for the real response from bungie and sony?
>>559647219For what? The layoffs, Marathon going f2p, or Destiny 2 EoS?
>have mostly replayable activities in d2>wow this is pretty good design guys>it encourages players to go and play anything when they are feeling bored and still rewards the player>hey guys i got an idea, lets scrap this good design and make only seasonal relevant activities the priority instead!>huh?>game fucking dies >no one is playingEdge of fate was made by people who dont play destiny
>>559647283I mean their actual reactions to this dogshit launch, Highguard still kept saying everything was fine for a week or so
>>559647186Yep.
>>559646851In an open plaza where you need to hold 3 plates to spawn a big scary taken ogre boss named, Taken Bulwark.Then you ride a sparrow down a narrow road for 30 seconds and go through a taken portal that then takes to the top of a skyscraper for a 2 minutes jumping "puzzle" and once you reach the correct rooftop you fight a cabal thresher boss named, Rooftop Patrol.You then get a chest that shits out 2 pieces of armor and the one seasonal gun you don't want. Then you run through another taken portal to some random generic open arena in the city where you fight a taken wizard named, Alchemist Apprentice Go'y Muh'axer. Who has 2 hp gates that lead into immune phases where two randoms need to stand in a plate while the rest shoot red bars!!!! Completing the activity gives you a 32 step exotic quest for an incredibly niche but overpowered exotic that will be nerfed in 1 month to be incredibly niche and dogshit.
>>559647219>>559647283>layoffs Two months>Marathon F2P + PvE mode early next year>D2 EoS Not till 2028 at least
>>559647219Not until the end of Japan's fiscal year at the earliest. Sony's CFO was assuring shareholders that Marathon would be a huge success at the last quarterly meeting.
>>559647384It's probably coping in TWIMs each week until Sony lays off 50% of the studio.
>>559647417sounds kino, sign me up!
>>559647219Sony will have to cope and pretend Bungie isn't a horrendous embarrassment in every way because they spent four billie on them.
>>559647384probably when they have to report financial results, they'll say something like it underperformed due to market conditions. it's going to be a while for them to acknowledge the game is lackluster though, they have every incentive to play it up as a success. it will take even longer for bungo to face consequences; after the colossal fuck up that was concord, it took 2 months for sony to close the studio.
>>559648379Not that anon but I don't think it will take long, bingle has until june to release their shitty update and say what they actually plan for the future and if snoy plans to close them I don't think they will allow them to promise a expansion or do literally anything that would need money from sony, Shadow and Order will only be released because they have a contractual obligation to release a fourth and final reward pass
>>559648379I don't think Sony has enough patience to give Bungie the kiddie glove treatment now. They've already said that D2 racked up a $204 million dollar cost during 2025, and this was during the point when there was basically fuck all going on besides Episode: Heresy in the first half of the year and EoF + Renegades in the second. Marathon isn't doing Concord or Highguard levels of terrible, but its also not doing good considering how long it was in production for and how much money they've absolutely invested into marketing. The studio won't be gutted, but there's bound to be layoffs and Playstation will decide how Bungie does things from here on out.
Have a gift, on me.1au (demo) circa early 2015 for Taken Kinghttps://litter.catbox.moe/psrhor.mp3
I'm completely floored at the fact that Marathon can't reach the peak of release day on a weekend, other companies should pay attention, because this is what happens when you destroy your own reputation for a quick buck
>>559650046Renegades won, Marathon just needs a Star Wars expansion.
>>559647413Dude I don't know what the fucking timeline is you crawled out of, but Destiny 1 raids never had hundreds of thousands of viewers, you're fucking retarded. And just copying my response back at me like some uneducated nigger that can only mimic isn't going to magically make you right.
>>559649718neat
Bungle lost me +10 years ago and I've just been watching the fire rise, listening to the screams of destiny players crying about how much the fires of corporate trend chasing burn. (You) supported Binky all the way to Marathon, congrats.

>Halo's gone.>Destiny's gone.>Marathon failed.>Bungie's gonna die soon.>The clean bed you went to sleep in no longer exists.>The entire artificial world order created since WWII and it's consequences are unraveling as we speak.
>>559650829You should post that on the marathon general because no one is defending them here
>>559649718>see this post>hmm I think I play Destiny 1 for the first time in FOREVER>on my xbox one Other than the 30fps jank this game looks so much better than Destiny 2, even at 900p or whatever the fuck it was. What the fuck
>>559651357it's all about lighting and art designfidelity matters very little
>>559651182Nice humiliation ritual
>marathon flopped and marasissies are the newest perpetual bungo laughing stock of the gayming community over destiny players since no one cares at all about Destiny anymore Very nice
>>559651447Well I wish I knew what happened to their lighting/environment art team and who on earth it was they replaced them with
I might get in trouble for leaking these, but here:>2 unreleased tracks from D1:https://litter.catbox.moe/6x1i21.mp3https://litter.catbox.moe/ppy2p2.mp3>Alternate version of The Wake from D2:https://litter.catbox.moe/h05vim.mp3These are only staying up for 12hAnd picrel is from the same Witch Queen leak as Dare of Eternity
will it even reach yesterdays peak? holy shit
>>559651819LEAK IT ALL, DESTINY IS DEAD. NOW IS THE TIME.
>>559651590Nigga needs to not rock those nails when he has a complexion matching the texturing on my walls.
>>559651819is this the dread?
>>559651819What the other anon said, leak all the good shit I beg you
>>559651892>lose half your players over the course of a free weekend>lose 20% of your players over the course of launch weekendIt's so fucking over lmao
>>559651819Big if true.
>>559651819Holy sovl, all of it. Art and music are good. Were the D1 tracks from Marty?
>>559651819>that artThat was going to be the real darkness race wasn't it? What could have been...
>>559652248All 4 posted so far are from Mike.
>>559651819>Someone at Bungie saw that concept art and thought it would be better reskin a bunch of psions and make bullshitI hate Bungie so much it's unreal
>>559651819Saved wake alt. Liked the addition of the guitar. Shamed they never used it
reminder mara sov is a rework of the travellers female avatar
Few are as buckbroken as Bungie right now.
I dont get why people are ok with destinys current stateEveryone has left and people are still like>yup this game is greatIts ashame bungie won't ever fix their goddamn mistakes
>>559651819Chat is this real
>>559651819those d1 tracks are extremely halo-y
>>559652915I cant think of anyone that's okay with the way D2 is currently.
>>559653052Yeah it gives me Halo 2 vibes, very cool.
>>559651819thanks, marty
>>559651819AI
PvE mode?
>>559653428Bungie does use AI
>>559653504The fact they used it for star wars makes it even funnier
>>559651819It legit makes me angry how much potential was wasted.All thrown in the trash in favor of jewish slop.
>another bungie leak has hit 4chanyearly tradition at this point
Honestly after seeing the Anon that posted that leaked image and music, it makes me wonder... what are the devs that are "working" on Destiny actually doing right now are they just showing up to work and twidling their thumbs until the day is over? All they could be working on is bug fixes and maybe Shadow and Order if they ever plan to actually release it. But I honestly doubt they are secretly working on D3 or another year of content for D2 considering Destiny's performance I doubt Sony would even want them wasting the time when they could be all hands on Maraflop. Considering Bungie anon just posted old music and old concept art and we haven't had any meaningful destiny leaks other than "D3 is happening and its early in development and something about D2 classic" without any proof, just makes me think its a wrap on the franchise entirely with literally zero hope.
>>559651819Fucking kino... we should've gotten these enemies instead
>>559645454>I... le killed people?>I must shut myself down, goodbye...
>>559651819>That Wake remixDamn was this made for EOF? The Bungie music team does not miss.
Bungie is a fascinating thing, and in my ignorant youth, I may have seen it as aspirational. Like Ghaul. I see this force for what it truly is. GAAS is a trick of Bungie. An illusion! Nothing is forever. But these Marasissies entertain me. I will use their ignorance. Shower them with lavish rape, with DOOM. I will watch them dance into the grave of EOS for my amusement.
I don’t have as much as people might expect, The image is from the transition period from the Veil to the Dread. As for the music, there is a lot of carry-over from Halo in Mike’s early tracks, hence why they went unused. I feel the "real" Bungie ended in 2020. And Marty still has plenty of unreleased material, but he's protective of it and won't release anything unless his ego is thoroughly stroked or it's not at risk. If I wanted to fake this, I’d make it more obvious. I did try to reduce the noise in the image with a smart de-blur.>>559652617>>559653052>>559653176I have a few more I've posted here before and I think it's safe enough to share.>Traveler's Dream (Action)https://litter.catbox.moe/6qwhud.mp3>The Prison (E3)https://litter.catbox.moe/733mnq.mp3>The Stranger (Full)https://litter.catbox.moe/heck7k.mp3
>>559654485>Shower them with lavish rapeKEK
>>559654692>The image is from the transition period from the Veil to the Dread.What were the veil originally??
>>559654692>traveler's dreamfucking hell id never heard this before and its good, marty really knows what he's doing even something clearly a little rough is great
>Marathon might not even beat its 24 hour peak even during its prime timeKek Panic PvE update by the end of next week.
>>559654692That first one sounds like an unused Halo Reach track.
At one point The Fallen were allies from the start and The Hive were their undead ancestors twisted by a literal sentient, malicious amorphous darknesss. Which is why in some early art thralls have four arms.
>>559654692>EDZ aux terminalWould've loved to see a abandoned airport environment in destiny
>>559654928I kinda assumed it was already known, but there's a history of Race 5 moving from Glimmer > Tenebrae > Veil > Dreadhttps://files.catbox.moe/1uu3jr.zip
>Bungo devs claim they told the execs not to make marathon a hardcore pvp game>they didnt listen>they lose the the casual pve focused game>that same game they lost to was originally gonna be a looter shooter to compete with D2 but they were told the game wasn't good so they went back and made it be the perfect game to rape Marathon insteadPOTTERY
>me with my Truth
>>559655513>>that same game they lost to was originally gonna be a looter shooter to compete with D2what game
>>559654950All those tracks are Mike's, not Marty's. Marty only did Reborn, The Great Unknown, & Music of The Spheres.
>people want destiny to continue development by supporting marathonSure it keeps bungie alive but we ain't getting shit for destiny until they are done raping marathon for everything until Destiny 3 becomes the new desired game
>>559655747Arc Raiders was gonna be a looter shooter at first
>>559655476>GlimmerWut
>>559655839well fuck
>>559655513But they had to own Christopher Barrett and restart development 3 years in. >>559655747Arc was originally going to be a loot shooter, they said it sucked so they shifted to making it an extraction shooter because just being an entirely PVE shooter was boring and repetitive. They did it pretty quickly too, just after a couple of years. And they didn't even need to kill The Finals to get it done. Bungie should study them, if they're not getting shut down.
>>559655971>That write up on what he originally wanted from the gameThey suits literally cannot help themselves holy shit
>>559655869Originally, Glimmer was the name for Race 5, the currency came later, and was only valuable because it was the material left behind by Race 5.
>>559655594Where have you been
>>559656206Why did Race 5 take so long? It seemed like The Taken were a stopgap and then we still had to wait another 9 years.
>>559656206Do you know what the Darkness originally was?
>>559656206so how did they go from that to shitty psion reuses? lmao
>>559656206Can you confirm or deny if space fighter combat as planned?
>>559656206What was tenebrae then?
Man, that rewrite/re-do must've fucked shit up so hard. Insane the amount of shit they left or had to spend so much time developing
>>559656461been working on home stuff
Wait, weren't the dread originally just not gonna be in TFS at all?
>>559656461Marathon
>>559656907Knowing my latin, its darkness, I would assume (I'm not the leaker) that Glimmer was something entirely different, then Tenebrae would've been a more fanatical "order", cult or take from more religious representations.If you kind of track what we do know about Veil and Dread, you can kinda see the progression? Veil itself was worshipped by the Sol Divisive. By the time they got to the Dread I imagine they ditched the religious order idea or something.In that same sense you can see where the whole D1 original final boss comes into play too knowing that it was the closest thing to what they retconned to be as "the veil".
>>559656206You mean to tell me you are an employee with knowledge of pre destiny 1 destiny, when Bungie is notorious for letting employees go and forgetting old lore? And you just happened to have a bunch of ancient work assets saved on your laptop at home?
>>559657650we've had a shit ton of bungie employees post stuff here or on /v/
>>559656206>This early Destiny 1 screenshot has higher resolution textures than Marathon 2026
>they killed destiny for thislmao
>>559656510The Taken were a stopgap. You're right. During D2's early development, Bungie assumed the positive feedback of the Taken during TTK was a green light for them to push The Taken deeper into their plans for Race 5.>>559656608There was no "The Light" or "The Darkness" as 1 singular entity for either. The Darkness was the term for the collective 5 enemy races and their intents. Basically a personification to lump them together.>>559656725The Activision split made their internal structure break, and there were to many projects happening simultaneously. Destiny since 2019 has only had a skeleton crew.>>559656872It's been planned multiple times, yet never reached any farther than engine tests. Reach was in-fact a test, as much as a lot of them deny it, same goes for the armor abilities. The last attempt for Space combat or anything related to player ships was 2019-20 before D3 was retooled.>>559656907An attempt at making The Taken more of a presence in and of themselves rather than servants of any 1 leader. Ghaul had a boss fight near the Shard for the final act of D2 Vanilla. And there was a giant Taken War Beast boss.And for the lest thing that should be extremely obvious, The Hive as they existed from release and in TTK (Excluding their backstory in The Books of Sorrow written by Seth Dickinson) were a near-complete retooling of the plans for Race 5. An ancient dead king/god leading an army of undead (but not really undead, it's complicated) to take back the Traveler. The Hellmouth is a repurposed concept form the Martian cradle. In the Hellmouth's place was essentially just a crashed miniature Dreadnaught instead. The Cradle and The Enclave are the same thing. A bas of operations for Race 5 in their attempts to take back the Traveler and get inside the ship.
>>559658225>>559655198lmao I was right
>>559658384>Destiny since 2019 has only had a skeleton crew.jesus fucking christ
>>559658384>There was no "The Light" or "The Darkness" as 1 singular entity for either. The Darkness was the term for the collective 5 enemy races and their intents. Basically a personification to lump them together.So what WAS the story of the 5th race then if there was no darkness making/leading them or whatever?
>>559658384>The Darkness was the term for the collective 5 enemy races and their intents. Basically a personification to lump them together.>Reach was in-fact a test, as much as a lot of them deny it, same goes for the armor abilities.I FUCKING KNEW IT
>>559658225Its sad seeing delusional anons and marathon fans not realize that this is a death sentence for bungie. Destiny had very solid numbers which sustained them for ages even with their large employee count but with destiny now dead and marathons pitiful numbers for a AAA game by a studio their size its just simply over.
>>559658384>Reach was in-fact a test, as much as a lot of them deny it, same goes for the armor abilities.Yeah, I bet the cut "Power Fist" AA went straight to the titan lmao.
>>559658821TL;DR, Race 5 was another attempt by Jason Jones to do "ancient aliens were actually humans" plot. The Traveler is a dyson sphere/hollow world ship with the Black Garden inside it. The Black Garden is a parallel to the Garden of Eden and Race 5 "sinned" and was kicked out. They wanted either revenge or to take the ship back.
>>559658384Fuck me. Someone archive all this shit this dude is spitting out, we need to save this.
>>559659152Do you know if D3 is actually happening or what Sony's gonna do if (when) Marathon fails?
>>559659342There have always been plans for a D3, firstly in 2018, but that died and became Shadowkeep/Beyond Light/Arrivals. (and small parts of WQ/LF/TFS, namely Neptune/Pyramid destination and Traveler interior)And there is/was talks of another attempt at D3, but it's unknown how far or if it's even still viable. Bungie is waiting on Sony's call, basically. it falls on their leadership.
>>559658102>screenshotNigga, that's a phone pic of a screen, which makes it funnier
>>559658384>Reach was in-fact a test, as much as a lot of them deny it, same goes for the armor abilitiesI’ve been saying this for years. Fuck man. I know Reach is loved in hindsight, but I HATED how it was so obviously a pre pre alpha test for destiny
>>559659192>implying it's real
>>559659693Well yeah there was that leak saying D3 and "Destiny classic" are happening
Only TRVE and REAL OGs will know where I am right now.
>>559660109I WANT TO BELIEVE
If I get a cheap Marathon key, random fill with people and just talk about how good Arc Raiders is, will I get banned?
>>559659192heres the usual 4chan archive, if you wanted to save the posts or whateverhttps://arch.b4k.dev/vg/thread/559643774/#559659192
>>559660868They will figure out how to mute you and then post angrily on the reddit until you get mass reported enough to get banned.How cheap we talking?
>>559660868No one talks in marathon or will care. Game is a husk for sunk cost copers (kind of like us a year ago)
>>559660951I can get a steam account with it for about $20.>>559660992Damn
What was the point of these guys? Everytime they got hyped up, we (or some other race) casually made them our bitch a few seconds later.
>>559661523Think the sentinels/engineers from Halo, or the spht from Marathon (original, not the new gay reboot)Maintenance robots out of control. meant to tend to the black garden, but instead forced to make everything else "like the garden"There's a reason the Past/Precursor Vex look the way they do in relation to the Traveler.

>>559658384Anon what is it like inside bungie? Did they ever talk bad about the community? Is it filled with toxic positivity and freaks running around
>>559661959>Did they ever talk bad about the community?All the time, but it's more like "Don't they see what we do for them? Can't they be happy with what they get?" Not realizing they don't deliver on their promises and constantly lie about their plans. Instead just saying that everything that has happened was always meant to have gone that way. They don't like to acknowledge the things they've changed/removed/brought back.>Is it filled with toxic positivity and freaks running aroundPost 2017? Yes. Unbearably so. But there's this massive undercurrent of unearned pride and resentment for those that came before.

>>559662235>But there's this massive undercurrent of unearned pride and resentment for those that came before.Many such cases…
>>559662235>resentment for those that came beforeAs in for the community or developers?
>>559663628idk, likely both?
Big surprise, Bungie's culture is shit at every level. The management is arrogant and out of touch, and the regular developers hate their predecessors and the players.
>>559663562Siva is dead, chud.
>>559663804I mean to be quite fair I also hate their players for the most part. Outside of all my precious /dg/ friends, of course.
Bungie and Siva are inextricably aligned. Bungie can thrive if they let Siva thrive.
>>559663931>Outside of all my precious /dg/ friends, of courseYou really mean that?
>>559664125You know it.
Speaking of destiny players, I still want to blame the FTP for introducing a bunch of retards into the game and the features that also let retards instantly get into the endgame. It would be fine if difficulty wasnt watchable but they made endgame with streamers in mind so now I have to play with a bunch of retards and maybe find the few people to make a good group. Glad I dont play anymore but I used to love raiding when lfg wasnt filled with retards
lol, what are these ownership estimates? jfc
>>559664457The endgame needs the easiest version of raids should be playable by your upper end average player. AND bungie needs to add actual good difficulty progression. We pretty much always have armless retard baby ez or ballgrinder mode for awhile. And ballgrinder doesnt even really need to be ball bustingly hard but some stuff is just annoyingly tedious.
>>559664628yew got any of dos algorthyms?
>>559664628>Every single dad of destiny bought >Since they only have 1 hour a day to play the player count never reaches huge heightsimagine

top 3 and bottom 3?
>>559664839Given the state of the new player experience in marathon this ain't happening because bungo seemingly accepted they can't do it well. The same applies to any potential smooth difficulty progression because to make things smooth you need to recognise the challenges and struggles newer or less experienced players might face.
>>559665220>ugly cosmeticsIf this thread wasn't dead I'd say>the anti haloman man is gonna show up real soon if you say that

It's gonna be really funny to look back at the discussions after the game falls off and they turn off their army of shill bots.

That was the last time I had a full group of friends actively playing the game and I have a lot of good memories raiding during that season.

>>559645239This game will die before it has a metacritic rating
>>559651819I'll assume these are AI but, why leak these now? And are you like actually related to Bungie?
>>559667175The leaks are not AI. I am in possible deep shit if it's traced back to me. When it comes to Bungie I am not an employee, but very close to people at Bungie.
>>559662235God bless you for providing all this information leakanon, and for providing a fascinating look at this absolute train wreck of a studio.
What went wrong?
>>559667318Are you going to leak anything else? Or is this it? Where did you get these from?
>>559667515I don't have anything else. I lost access to the crawler I used. The window closed on me. And the Veil leak was from the initial WQ discord call 5 years ago. Jesus, it's been 5 years.
>>559667496We never got to lobotomize fallen with rusty screwdrivers and bungie never fucking gave me back my dregs promise or supercell.
>>559662235This is almost 1:1 to what we expected Bungie to be like internally to the point it almost feels like a LARP, idk what to believe anymore. They really do hate Vicarious Visions right?
>>559667847Any outsider work was viewed as lesser than internal work.
>>559667713>discordThey used discord to communicate development plans?
>>559667952Fuck me, wasn't there a case where some game devs got locked out of a discord channel they used for game dev?
Hello guys I am not a Bungie employee but I know the inner workings of the studio going back 10+ years and have access to secret Marty music because I was in a discord once. If they find out I told you I’m totally busted.
Maybe xe was a community manager
>>559668195Eh, my buddy was an early alpha tester, visited the Bungie office many times and had access to all sorts of shit. He had to sign nda's about what he saw, but we still talked about all of it. There were tons of things in the builds he qc'd that never made it to the beta build, and even more that never made it to release.
>>559662235LeakAnon how much were high moon and vicarious involved with forsaken? were they basically carrying bungie? and is it true that bungie largely resents Rise of Iron?
>>559668865nta, but HM/VV were responsible for the Tangled Shore, & iirc Black Armory.Bungie did The Dreaming City.I've noticed that the things they sunset are usually things not done internally or majority internally.
>>559669121nta, but one of the speculations around "siva is dead" is that support studios were too involved in wrath's development that's why bungo didn't want to have any of that in d2
>>559667847Even if it is a LARP it’s not like Bungie is doing anything to convince Destiny fans at all that they think otherwise. And I don’t mean Destiny fans here, but in general. It took them nearly up to the very launch of the Marathon server slam to admit that Shadow and Order was not only delayed, but they didn’t even have the roadmap for the game ready at all despite leading people on that the team was “still jamming”. Meanwhile they were proud to announce Marathon’s content roadmap while they announced that minor DLC would apparently be free as well.
>>559659693Why are they still trying to make Destiny 3 happen? Destiny 2 still seems like a pretty decent foundation to completely soft-launch the game. They have plenty of content to reimplement.This is kind of getting ridiculous at this point, like I never thought they would go from wanting to move away from Destiny to now using it as a contingency plan just in-case things dont work out for Marathon.This is such an unfathomable amount of incompetence that I cant even begin to express my disappointment with the way everything turned out. I sincerely hope that Sony dont give them a Forsaken tier ultimatum for Marathon because they do not deserve a second chance, Bungie Studios is quite literally full of retards.
>>559669121 >>559669413Makes sense, was thinking today about how people say bungie does well when they are desperate but i noticed that they were only capable of this when they were still under activision i.e. TTK or had support studios for forsaken. But the fact that bungie only brings up ROI to say that siva is gone and never coming back. Hell that's probably why they cucked Saladin and we got iron banner less and less. also they made shadow keep directly after going independent which was a complete asset flip save maybe GOS.
>>559669413Imho, RoI is largely treated as something that never truly happened or happened, but didn't matter enough because it's never mentioned in the official timeline, it's barely mentioned during TFS and unlike most other major events it's not even fleshed out.Ash & iron was their way of acknowledging RoI's existence post TFS, but it's basically them burying it for good, it happened, but everyone and everything involved in it is deader than dead and can't even come back despite all the existing siva lore, iron lords lore, etc. Siva is dead, forget about Efrideet, you name it.
>>559669809This is like there 15th chance bungies has had. Sony would be doing everyone a favor by finally giving bungie what they deserve
what did you guys do in destiny today
>>559671005i didnt play destiny today
afaik d3 announce = 2027 and release 2028
>>559671717let's do our best to play destiny tomorrow
>>559672226
>>559672009That's way too optimistic. They haven't even started it, so at the very minimum we'd have to wait until 2030 for the alpha phase, which is not realistic since Bungie will basically not exist anymore by this point. They either turn Marathon around with a desperate PvE mode with beefier bots, revive Destiny 2 with a proper fix to the portal, or straight up stop existing during the current year.
>>559672584A few days before the marathon's release, one of the UI/UX developers came to our stream and shared a bunch of interesting information. D3 has been in development since 2023.I'm not really sure about that release date too, but he brought evidence that he was from Bungie so... we'll see i guess.
>>559669809destiny 2 has too much baggage

>>559667989I remember only the story about Stalker 2 devs who temporarily lost their official Discord server some time before the game's release because some retard with admin rights got his account stolen after he clicked a phishing link, and the bots briefly took over their Discord to advertise some phishing scams.

>Anon recommended Fallout 76>Give it a go>Entire map is one massive patrol space>Public event happens>24 players at the same time>This is all functioning in the fucking bethesda engineJust how bad is Destiny 2's engine if it can't compete with fucking Todd?
>>559685054Its not the engine, its the people. bungie lost most of the people capable of working with tiger engine. bethesda can always recruit people from modding scene who have 5 decades of experience and know engine better than people who made itEven if we rightfully assume both are filled up with trannies, then bethesda got autistic MtF coders while bungie got mentally ill lesbos and activists.

I don't care about destiny 3 unless the star wars dlc is erased from memory. Infact, erase everything after beyond light.No, that's not enough. I'll only accept destiny 3 if it's set in the dark ages
Nah D3 complete reset and retcon. Scrap everything. Start over.

>>559687269It would be cool if we did get a D3 that starts right after the collapse and you get to fight NPC lightbearers over the cosmodrone and contribute to the cities construction
>>559687458that's just asking for endless asset reuse
>>559688219Yeah, I want a destiny mostly set on earth. The locations should be small villages, big locations should be cities like old Chicago. It would ACTUALLY be a SciFi fantasy Bungie pretends current destiny is.
Id play a destiny spinoff that plays like nightreign where you fight old bosses and get loot so you have a chance to deal with old raid bosses designed to be soloable or new puzzle based bosses
>>559688729>you and you're co-op partners are just Kabr and two alternate timeline Kabrsstuck in a vex slop simulations where they are just keeping you in a kill loop for eternity.
I just want them to structure their campaigns a bit more interestingly. Like off the top of my head imagine a D3 starts and you are a normal guy and like ODST compared to Halo 3 you can't jump high, no powers, just a regular dude who picked up a shitty rifle. You get a fair bit in an get your "objective: Survive" moment where you hold off increasing impossible waves of hive or whatever and die and its game over.Thats when theres a sudden burst of light and you wake up with a ghost hovering over you going "finally, i found you guardian" and the music drops and you absolutely smoke the enemy and send them running, but then as the buddies in your squad rush up to congratulate you they realise you dont know who any of them are because their buddy died giving them the time they needed and now this amnesiac golems wearing his face. Lean into that idea like how in warhammer 40k the space marines arent seen as tacticool operators in the setting but most people find them strangely off putting and uncomfortable to be around.
>>559688973I can accept this, but only if they make it take place in the dark age so I never ever have to see certain characters again.
>>559688892Yeah they could definitely do something like thatHell if they wanted too they could add some special corridors mechanic where you can unlock new characters midrun like saint-14 and other guardians with different subclasses, exotics, and weapon priority
>>559688294anything made by bungie will be endless asset reuse, look at marathon
>>559689080>new character midrunThey could pretty much toss in any guardian who ever went into vex network.
>>559689069>You were escorting people to the last colony ship capable of launching>You character is actually one of the first guardians>You all go into cryo as the shit takes off, hopefully to escape the collapse to somewhere better>Smash cut to 4000 years later and the ship is a dusty old derelict floating around the obrit of a large meteor on the edge of an unknown system>Something boards the ship and your cryo opens up>Mission name: wake me if you need me
>>559688892>>559689080>>559689319bungie had potential for godlike roguelike since infinite forest but its bungie.
>>559689503sorry chud creating a shit ton of assets for missions we delete every 3 months is way more important
>even retardera is declaring marathon a flopkek
>>559688038>kaballah without Calus>fucking goywars crossoverSlop of the highest order
>>559689667This USER will be banned withon 48 hours.
>>559689503It's funny because they have no problem reusing assets and this is an easy way to get away with it without your normal player noticing. Plus if they kitbashed this together in a few months it could placate a dying destiny fanbase. But bungie is retarded, people think they love money but they actually love to waste and burn money.
>>559689069>>559689438They could make a genuinely good and emotional campaign not relying on BIGGER MONSTER MORE EVIL by making a Fireteam of normal humans and one of them (the player) who was resurrected as a guardian but doesn't remember anything. They'd have to grapple with not remembering anything and watching their friends die and not being able to resurrect.
>>559669809I don’t see a situation where Bungie soft relaunches D2. The Year of Prophecy was intended to “wake up” the fanbase, and instead it ended up being possibly the most reviled era of the game with record low playercounts. Not only that, but it is absolutely impossible for newcomers to get into the game after Shadowkeep. The Red War all the way through Forsaken’s campaign and the simpler progression, or even something like D1’s progression system, that’s not in the game anymore. Combined that with a terrible on-boarding experience and many years worth of storylines to catch up on that aren’t even in the game anymore, and you have a product that can only appeal to the hardcore playerbase that’s been playing since launch. The only thing that Bungie can truly make a product appealing to newcomers is to make a Destiny 3, and have that be a soft reset that takes place after something like Heresy while mostly glossing over YoP. Or if they do want to acknowledge YoP, they save those plot lines for the following year’s expansion.
>>559688294Any kind of D3 is asking for asset reuse bruv
>>559689859>they actually love to waste and burn money.Yes, microsoft told them to fuck off when they came back begging lol
>>559690258ideally they would copy destiny's game design (the good parts) and make a new IP.
>>559689996The best writing around guardians in years was a fucking lore tab about how the villain of renegades' mother was raised as a guardian when he was a child and he saw her in a parade and ran up thinking his mother was alive and the guardian pushed him away in disgust and kept on parading and getting cheers for no doubt killing a lot of none human people. Shame that wasn't actually mentioned in game over STAR WARSSSSS but thats bungo for you.
which is a total pipe dream i know u dont have to tell me
>>559690396a better idea than marathon for sure
>>559690396At this point just give up on the mmo and lean into the diablo but fps angle now borderlands has burned all its bridges. Give us some horror fps where you are like control/scp type crowd dealing with VISITORS in different places like rustbelt ghost cities or bayou trailer park or some shit.
>>559690402>pushed him away in disgust>This makes Baal bawl>ALL GUARDIANS ARE LE BAD>meanwhile most other guardians shown in game don't treat kids or civilians like shit Also>be in an one of the most public settings and events possible>Push away a child like an autist and no bats an eye>Guardians and the light is actually le heckin cold and not always le goodI LOVE ESOTERIC SLOP
>>559690576the point where destiny started becoming diablo was where the game design started degenerating. return to a time when you only have like 5 enemies but they all actually mean something please.
>>559690576>lean into the diablo but fps angleThis, specifically the FPS part. The guns should have stayed our primary method killing shit. Base D2 abilities were absolute ass and subclasses sucked ass for too long so I get why abilities ended up becoming as strong as they did but I never got why guns got left in the fucking dust so hard. If they wanted to boost D2 numbers at least for a like a weekend, they should just do massive gun buffs across the board. FUCK
>>559690576Diablo 2? Sure
You are incredibly, uniquely special. That wandering refugee chose to make a stand, spend their power to say: "Here I prove myself right. Here I wager that, given power over physics and the trust of absolute freedom, people will choose to build and protect a gentle kingdom ringed in spears. And not fall to temptation. And not surrender to division. And never yield to the cynicism that says, everyone else is so good that I can afford to be a little evil."
Imagine if destiny was like borderlands without stupid millennial faggots yapping all over the place
>>559691672i'd rather not. There like, 1 game in the franchise worth playing.
>>559691672Wouldn't that be Borderlands 1
things aren't looking good for bungie
>>559692971>refunded over 500k timesLMFAOOO
>>559692971oh no no no no
>>559692971The marathon general went into full cope mode over this post
>>559692971How long until the jews/CCP/whatever pull their funding and let it collapse like with highguard?
>>559688038Heresy was the last time I had genuine interest in the narrative.I legitimately thought the player would get a whole taken subclass in the next expansion because Oryx admitted the player was the true heir to the taken throne by the sword logic and we got some taken like abilities. But no, we got robbed again just like in 2015
>>559692971Where is this info on SteamDB? Hilarious if true.
>>559694706Could be made up. But think about it anyways, what game realistically could have been refunded more than Marathon in the past 2.5 months? Not Highguard, that was free. It’s probably actually true even if that post isnt genuine.
>>559694521>I legitimately thought the player would get a whole taken subclassSo naive and full of hope...
>>559694892Realistically it probably is going to be the most refunded game of 2026. The steam concurrent reinforces that with how stagnant it was, implyiing a revolving door of people buying the game and to go in and then those same people + unhappy preorders refunding the game and leaving.The only other explanation is the very unrealistic theory that they had like 100k preorders and literally zero sales whatsoever over the course of the day with a few people out of that still refunding.
>>559649718>>559651819>>559654692Are any of the replies, other than the ones with the mp3s, you?
>>559695264No, I'm sure they just piggybacked off of what I brought up. I wish I had more to share, but the source I had isn't going to work anymore.
RAPE BUNGIE!
SIVA kings won in the endTotal Bungie Death
This is not the way it has always been.This game was once ours.On a fleet of Playstations and Xboxs we hurtled into the game, fueled by hope we couldn't possibly understand. We danced on the tower of a newborn game, celebrating our new video game, and we were happy.These are not legends as some have come to believe. The wild frontiers of /dg/ still bear the hallmarks of our ascent, and our destruction. Activites, once populated, now empty. Destinations where players explored and watched as warm seas lapped the beach stones. A great game, destroyed by Bungie, and killed by time.If you are smart enough, you may see these signs for yourself in Marathon. If you are wise, you may refund Marathon. This is your charge. Listen to the voices of /dg/ as they call out to you in their posts. Look upon the game you now inhabit, and heed the words of those great Guardians who came before you.Add your DOOM to theirs. Bring it to the black heart of Bungie. Rape Bungie, escape will not make them GOD. For the union between DOOM and rape is now.
>>559691672Imagine if Destiny actually had hype moments, aura, and writing that wasn't saturday morning cartoon tier slop.
I liked when destiny's story was focused on the guardian and his actions instead of character trauma dumping while we're place on the side to act as audience support
How many Runners remain? Do you even know? There would have been 50K at Saturday night, maybe less. Such a loss. Do you feel it in your heart? Does it leave a hole? Joe Cross was my finest recruit. He understood sacrifice and when one is necessary. I honor his memory each day. When our enemy rises, we meet their challenge. It is why I created the Hand of Rape. I found the best. The cruelest. The most efficient rapists in the universe... and taught them how to be better. My Runner Rapists are coming for you. It is your time to rise.
Numbers are in:>PC: 811k purchased, 523k refunded>PS: 60k purchased>Xbox: 12k purhcasedIts over. The game has made less than 4% of its production budget back. Bungie is done.
Predict the twid this week
So can we just sell Destiny to 343 at this point? Couldnt possibly be any worse, amazingly, and Sony could use some extra cash after all these flops

>>559700720Yeah, the train man's approach is still there, just throw a barely working prototype into the wild and pretend it's a framework for something bigger, that way the goyim will gladly pay you and wait until you actually make the game (you don't have to make it anyway, lol).
I feel deeply unsettled having to plunge a knife into a player's chest to finish them (bc ammo economy and sound noise), it's almost satanic.
>>559700527Do they think Bungie is going to put out like a Taken King expansion for Maraslop? Imagine the player fall off if they announced a $40 expansion that you have to buy to really continue playing the game.
>>559700665They are trying to trick doomchads into repeating false information to discredit them. You will not deceive me, saar.
We just need good paid skins, not a good game.

>>559701661He insists that the game is already good as it is, it's just very challenging.
>>559651357The problem is Bungie committed sins that a lot of companies do, overload shit with lighting particle environment effects overload so it looks more “cinematic” on cross platform and hardware settings but it just can feel overbearing, look ugly in first person. Destiny 1 worked well because things could be conveyed with way less shit going on.
>>559701661>>559700527This isn’t a D1 type situation where it has an excellent foundation, or even D2 where they had to backtrack and fix everything they fucked up. Marathon genuinely has no solid foundation, it feels like it’s still in alpha.
>>559701661Is this considered denial or bargaining in the stages of grief
>>559701810It’s a literal child argument. Makes me think of that AVGN console wars video when he pulled up his young self talking about Nintendo vs Sega and “Nintendo has stickers for the controllers” as an argument for its defense. Like what the fuck is wrong with Paul? Also Bungie literally mailing concept shit, pattern mock-ups, sometimes even straight up mailing costumes to people isn’t exactly organic “see people love dressing as glup shitto”, it’s literal shilling as it comes. If anything I feel vindicated knowing the casuals were going to turn on the game faster when you see all the “reeeee let me finish my baby mission I just want to enjoy the game”
>>559701661i refuse to believe he wasnt asked by bungie to create this narrative. bungie is desperate and want to create "public" perception to keep bungie alive. also wasnt community astroturfed by bungie as well? They themselves made memes and probably paid for cosplay, remember that cat meme they shilled everywhere that is now all of a sudden gone in oblivion? also i was doing dishes and caught myself annoyed at the idea that i will have to listen to more marathon shilled next month lol
>>559701810He's also forgetting about Concord
>>559701661>has a unique place in the marketit's an extraction shooter like the other extraction shooters
>>559701661Paul just loves to be raped by Bungie. If every Marathon player bought $100 in cosmetics Bungie might just break even on the development cost!
Since supposedly Sony is trying to not port any more games to pc, does this mean they are done with live service slop? I hope so. People are wasting so much money on this kinda crap when we can actually get some good games
Are you... HOOKED? Are you... HAVING A BLAST? Was it... WORTH EVERY PENNY?
>>559703416pretty sure they killed most of the live service projects they had once bungie came on board.bungie legit eliminated their own competition because they knew what marathon would be
>>559702526paul got his job because he covered destiny and got lots of views because of it. he has a parasitic relationship to bungo (as does virtually ever streamer and content creator who covers destiny), so he's wishcasting success for marathon. his job will be in danger if bungo closes up shop, so he needs to push a narrative that marathon is successful.
>>559703416Unfortunately I just don't see them stopping. They can take as many cuts as they can from GTA5/6 Online and CoD in-game purchases, but they still want their own live service game. Even if that means their own company is competing against themselves.
Draw one line across all the peaks and one across all the dips and they meet at around 51k so thats probably going to be the average it settles at and usually that trends around 20% of the total active playerbase which would be 255k strong. Which for just steam alone isn't terrible but thats total not daily peak so there might be gamerdads that play two matches a night after work twice a week for example in that list.Compounding this in what metrics we have for PS5 its looking like it is doing about 40% of what Steam is doing and Xbox is a pittance of less than 10% of those numbers.Its likely the games total weekly playerbase by week two across all platforms will be 383,000 players total worldwide with a active daily peak of around 75kish. Which for a niche genre is firmly okay.problem is Sony is almost certainly not looking for "firmly okay".
>>559704068Based on the level of content they are delivering for Marathon I doubt they'll even maintain that 51k you said. I think Season 2 will wipe out a huge chunk of the playerbase with the reset and then expecting the players to regrind the same contracts to get the same upgrades. The only new content for S2 is just a night time version of an already existing map, and the roadmap ends there. This makes me think they haven't even had plans approved for what Season 3 and especially Season 4 will be. Considering the player numbers and most likely very low sales compared to what they needed to just break even they are either going to swap the game to F2P and sell seasonal content, or start selling "expansions" for the game and hope they can start recouping money that way. The reset is going to be the biggest point of contention for players, since the only things you actually retain between seasons is your cosmetics and titles. Its why I think the store will become increasingly more greedy as time progresses because cosmetics are the only thing that have any actual permanence in the game.
>>559704369I'm frankly amazed at how nuMarathon fans can be so strong. Just one look at the player counts already depicts a downward slope, there's clearly a problem is people don't want to play the game they already paid for.
>>559701661>core fanbasepaid streamers and uh.......
Paid shill reporting inHow should I defend marathon?

Why is Marathon living rent free in this thread
well deadstiny is dead, what else should be mock?
Um................... I dont know...
I've not played the games since June 2024, with the delay should I buy EOF and catch up?
Bungie is being raped, Marathon is just their pitiful shield attempting to prevent their rape.
>>559707780No
>>559707780no its the worst destiny expansion. they tried to rip off metroid prime and warframe without understand what parts of either worked so it ultimately feels like a shitty borderlands clone referencing metroid prime and warframe. The only thing of any value to come out of it was a single cutscene showing Ikora's pre guardian final day alive and how she died.
>>559707780Avoid the game like the plague.
>>559707780>should I buy the expansion that forever ruined the game with dogshit changes that bungie will never fix, and also the game is about to hit EOSno nigga
>>559707780Absolutely not. Even if you think EoF's story is cool it is easily one of the worst campaigns from a gameplay standpoint. Missions just drag on and on, even when you feel like you're the climax of one.
>>559707780RUN
>>559707780Ignore the hate in this thread. The expansion is solid in story and the difficulty is no laughing matter. If you complete edge of fate your gonna have sex tonight. That job you've always wanted? Show your employer your EOF triumph and you will instantly get hired and get a raise. Your twitch viewership will sky rocket and you will get a bonus 10k silver drop in each expansion
>>559654692>I feel the "real" Bungie ended in 2020That's when they sold their soul, yes.
>>559699114I only started coming here to shit on Bungie recently. What do the orcs from Halo Infinite have to do with this?

I heard about the division 1 leads coming back to salvage Div2 with a winter change to the map and a survival mode update, did any of that drop yet?
>>559717194go ask in the division general, ramesh
>>559717194Not yet, there is a "realism mode" that makes it play more like a regular third person shooter. But the Winter DC map and Survivors mode is coming later.
>>559701661>It's a genuinely good gameNo it's not. They just copy/pasted the bare minimum from Destiny 2 but then made players more fragile and enemies somewhat tankier and more competent.>has a unique place in the marketIt's worse than both of it's contemporaries in the relative aspects but it has baby's first FPS combat.

Hello sars
>>559714725Div 2 isn’t better than Forsaken era D2, but it’s much better than modern day D2.

>>559719604it's not so much toxic positivity, but the fact that he tries to play both sides. he understands that marathon is clearly a bad game, he doesn't like it, many other people don't like it; and yet, he has to pretend as if it's a good game that people aren't giving a fair shake so he keeps his audience of bungo stans.

Bro some of the Marathon shills on /v/ are genuinely insane. Like one of them is a literal tranny furry
>>559721707Why you talking about yourself Ramesh?
>>559721815i feel like that is half of this site's user base these days.

>>559721815>there's Indians in Canada ahh post
>>559721815>Like one of them is a literal tranny furryThat's most of the Marathon team
>>559721815Anon, they are trying to appeal to anyone and everyone, they will be furries, gooner brained, sweats, casuals, anything as long as they can see more copies of the game, they were paid to do exactly that, you're naïve they believe any of the words they type
>>559722327>casualsnah, they don't want to play it
I have to say the best part about Marathons failure is it getting brutally gaped by a game I didn't even know was coming out
Status?
>>559723086thank you for pulling peak numbers during your time zone, which is in india
>>559723358Calamitous
>>559723358Dead. Buried. Raped.

>>559723465hopeGOD here, this is giving me a second wind.
>>559723631Oh they are. I'm 100% sure these same people are shilling on /v/ as well
>>559722272
>>559723358In Bungie’s case, genuinely dire. D2 is dead and more people would talk about or watch Marathon than they would play and spend money on it.
Also whats with this trend of arc raiders vs marathon? I get its two titans of the same genre fighting for popularity but it almost feels like bungie started this conflict
>>559724226its all bungie, I don't think embark/arc raiders have even acknowledged marathon
>>559724393shart raiders and jeetbark have tweeted about marathon multiple times.
>>559724226Arc raiders is a shit game
>>559724556Yeah I know extraction shooters are shit games doofus
>>559724489Just checked, and nothing
>>559724651Marathon's better, unironically.
>>559724226Bungie censored Arc Raiders in the text chat like EA did with Battlefield 6.
>>559724670>peepee is better than poopThats great anon
>>559724829Bungie cooked peepee, bigly
Top kek this dude just straight up admitted the game is shit and they'll fix it later in their shill post
>>559725145>bungie will fix the game they made and make it good>in the future>also, don't review it until the game is fixedkek
>>559724226Remember how Randy was trying to manufacture a fight between Battleborne and Overwatch? Same shit
>>559724226Beyond Bungie being put on blast for censoring Arc Raiders in the beta’s text chat, every single post that shilled Marathon tried to make it look or sound “hardcore” and Arc Raiders was just a “pacifist care bear hugbox”. The latter was a term literally used by a D2 content creator called Cammycakes in a pre Marathon release video. It’s why it’s so satisfying to see Marathon struggle, because the streamers clearly are not having fun in the game but are forced to play it so they can still be invited to Bungie’s events.
The reason Arc Raiders has triple the player count of Marathon is because only real gamers are playing Marathon
Why does he type like a faggot?
>Lose 11k players from launch day to its first weekend This is how we win!
>>559726957Desperately trying to convince people he's enjoying the game and that the game is fun and good.
>>559726957because he is
>>559727678he impregnated a fat chick in the midwest, that sounds pretty straight to me
>>559726957>>559727143Beyond these tweets and others from CC’s saying >having fun with this game, not sure if I’ll stick with it long term thoughThey’re desperately wanting to like Marathon.
I played today first time since September. It was awful and the worst part of it is simple lack of meaningful actions. Like OK, I can buy renegades or get 550, but for what? To play a few more WEEKLY GMS? Sure bungie, sure.
>>559723631The Cult of Bungie is very real.
>>559728168There are over 282,000 players at 550 right now. Stop being lazy.
>>559728529I did manage to reach 510 at ash and poop.
>>559658384Oh wow I've never seen some of the EDZ images you posted here and above.Where did you get those? And where did you hear about a Ghaul fight in the traveler shard or a Taken War Beast boss? I've never heard of that.
>>559728529Stopped playing before i hit 400. There's zero purpose to the grind. Haven't touched the game since eof's second week.
>>559729193>hello fellow anonymous lightbearers>where did those leaked images and info come from>you know that's Bungie property and we'll sue you
Does anyone have a zip of the leaked mp3s? I missed the litter links.
Yhtbt
>>559730397Was genuinely curious. :(I'm into cut content shit like that.
I don't get it, Marathon is on a bunch of best seller list and yet the player numbers are dogshit for a new game
>>559730771People are buying now and waiting for the war in Iran to settle down before playing, chud.
>>559730771Steam's top sellers are likely very low volume.
>>559730771It counts micro-transactions too. The shills are all doing it. But I think it's a lot of bots reviewing the game since the amount of reviews is insanely high.
>>559730662I know, that sometime in the future, someone will repeat that phrase within earshot of me. And because of that, I will instinctually rape that person with all the fury that bungie deserves. And the rectal blood of that innocent will be on bungies collective hands.
>>559732073i doubt you could even imagine it
>>559730771>a bunch of best seller list(s)As other anons said it doesn't actually take very much volume to get high on the top sellers list on Steam and it also counts microtransactions which is why many F2P games are always lingering pretty high. If Fortnig was available on Steam it would be permanently glued to the #1 spot for example.Other than steam I don't think I've seen it high on any lists.>>559731326>I think it's a lot of bots reviewing the gameNah. Certain groups of people are desperately trying to scoop water out of the aimlessly drifting boat after it was compared to Concord/Highguard. Usually games get less than 5% of people leaving reviews because most people cannot be bothered. Meanwhile Marathon has at least 15% of people leaving reviews desperately trying to gaslight people into hopping on their retarded failboat.
>>559730662never gonna stop being funny
>>559732073come'on unc yhtbt
>>559732413Most of the reviews are completely nonsensical too, just memes, jokes, etc and them there are the reviews with people having imaginary arguments with people who don't like the game
The Marathon hate is so forced. I'm having a blast with this return to form. The more you play, the better it gets. #Ad
>>559731326>bots reviewing the gameBots are doing quite a lot. You cannot tell me that an extraction shooter with the most garish aesthetic imaginable that was getting mocked just a few months ago now has thousands of people running defense across multiple platforms any time people even suggest that it might not be doing well. There's no way any of it is legitimate, from reviews to players and everything in between. I refuse to believe that many people are still willing to give Bungie a chance after the decade of controversies surrounding Destiny and all their obnoxious virtue-signaling.
>>559733286The fact that he'll only play Marathon if they pay him to is so funny
>>559733286>The less likely you are to be allowed a refund, the better it gets!My favourite cope with Marathon. I'd never heard any retard try to argue this before except in the far flung extreme cases like "it gets good 100 hours in" which was just a meme pointing at bad game design.
>>559733556Not everyone gives a shit about Destiny

it's all about circles
Hype? Hope? Future?
>>559734741rape... rape... RAPE!
>>559734141Buy an ad.
Are content creators required to put #AD if they are sponsored to play a game? Is that twitch policy?
>Bungie still hasn't said remotely anything about Destiny in the past 2-3 months other than "teams jamming"Considering the lack of leaks about the future of Destiny its pretty telling that all the leaks other than Ekugen's were intentionally leaked by Bungie.
>>559735887yes, if they're paid but dont put #ad they may suffer monetary penalizations
>>559735887It is, also the FTC requires it.
>>559735887That’s not Twitch policy, that’s so you don’t get run afoul of a government agency, let alone your fanbase of failing to disclose that you were paid to promote something.

at this point it feels like saars are trying to call out other saars
We will watch as Marathon slowly decays around the Marasissies, it will make their downfall all the more sweeter. A Concord 3 flop would've been like the hindenburg, but instead we have been given the titanic... a slow... beautiful rape. The copium will flow in abundance as the truth finally dawns upon them, that Bungie does not care for them... that the game will falter from not enough new content. The casual players will leave once the seasonal reset washes away all their collected treasures, leaving only the sweatiest tryhards and cheaters left to play and so the tale of the fall of the Trials of Osiris are told once again. They will cope as the same 3 maps become far too familiar to them and that the game has become uninteresting and when they cry out to Bungie for new content... all they will hear is... we're listening.
>>559747764I don't know if either game really feels more higher budget than the other now. At least D2 felt really good during Forsaken before they introduced Champions.
Uhm... blast havers why is the player numbers dropping when it should be rising?

Can't stop laughing
destiny 3 will release in 2030 and have 1.2 million concurrent players on steamit will be a proper sequel to destiny 1 that decanonizes destiny 2 completelymillions will buydestiny will become the biggest game in the world. they will release books and movies and tv shows to capitalise on the success.
>>559755848This has done absolutely nothing to convince the opinion that Bungie fans only play Bungie games. Fucking tons of extraction games already do this, nevermind roguelites.
>>559755848>marathon is just a side project to get all the bdf dad gamers accustomed to losing their gear so they don't have a melty when destiny 3 is a fresh start with no vault transferringi apologize bungie... i didn't see the vision...
Sloppathon officially fails to reach 100k on its debut weekend...It's over, little Runner...I wish I could tell you it was difficult, but it wasn't...
>>559756420Peaking below Veilguard is actually embarrassing, especially considering the massive amount of marketing and paid shills
>>559756796Did Veilguard even have that push? It’s been a while, I know they tried to push “return to form” hard on that game, but I think the most it amounted to for players and outlets in hindsight was only just that it was a step in the right direction compared to an online only live service like Anthem. Because even the decision to go with a brighter aesthetic was criticized, people still felt comfortable to voice their issues even if they liked Veilguard compared to the actual hugbox, or rather cult that the Marathon reboot has.
jeets are retarded. veilguard sold a few copies before being reviewed because the dragon age game before it was the best selling bioware game ever. lol
>>559753853This has to be a bait post.
>>559756420The slow rape of Bungie and Marathon is upon us, all that is left now is to watch the copium flow as the rape continues.

>>559763428can't believe people are still using Insta in 2026, i remember back in middle school during 2012 it was all the rage, but kinda fell off at the end of 2010's
>>559763273'apedbrutally
>>559763604it's the app to use if you want absurdist zoomie humor, can be good for a laugh sometimes
>>559763604I can kinda see whySometimes you get good posts, most of the time AI slop, and majority it feels like the influencers are flooding my feed with shilling for games I dont fucking care aboutIm this close to deleting it cause im sick of my recommendations and I rather just go on /gif/ if I want a quick laugh
>>559763130i remember when every week there was a story about the bungie store literally scamming people and niggas were still buying everything they released
>>559763604Instagram is awesome in 2026, I can say anything I want. I can't even do that here.
>>559763428The Marathon hate in itself sort of became a meme that transcends all fandoms, been hearing about it even in games that have nothing to do with it.Based that so many people want to see Bungie raped though.
>>559763295whatever >>559763328>Proofs? Well okay maybe not others but there was this guy https://arch.b4k.dev/vg/thread/558158195/#q558159885
>>559763724>>559763792Update: algorithm finally got approval grip and racism is back on the menu
>>559764001shut up raped retardstop trying to police what people say, turbonigger.
I got rape on my mind
>>559764001Oh yeah there was that guy i guess you aren't alone
>>559764060Bungie has completely broken your mind.
I will continue to post about RAPING BUNGIE and nothing WILL STOP ME. Now Hopesissy bend over its time for your threadly RAPE.
>>559764264vgh...
I FUCKING HATE BUNGIE SO GODDAMN MUCH
>>559764531waddle back to /mg/ looney troon
>>559764632>g-g-go b-backYou first, Lilith.
BDF out in full force kek
Everyone in this general and /mg/ is raped. Let that be known
>>559763604Instagram is great if you want pure brain rot and to see the unfiltered thoughts of crack heads on your for you page. It’s more entertaining now than something like Twitter. >>559763792I think it’s the smugness of the Bungie fandom that makes people want to see Bungie get anally gaped by Sony. They’re making it sound like something never done before in gaming, like it’s a super hardcore game even though it doesn’t have Permadeath like Hunt or bullet ballistics like Tarkov. Telling people to go back to the Arc “carebear hugbox” any time they brought up problems related to the game or player behavior also did not endear them among extraction shooter, or even just casual FPS fans. It made them come off like a bunch of elitist nerds that you want to see fall flat on their face.
>>559764132Told ya>>559764168Look at what you've become anon. You probably used to be a doomposter with some class but you've since devolved into an animal who just constantly shouts rape all the time. At least the calus guy speaks with some eloquence but you? You're like a caveman. Be better.
>>559764894the #rapebungie meme has been around for a while, quit your bitching already
>>559764894You will DROWN... in the RAPE
speaking of rape, the comments on that azteshill video...
>>559764894Ah, my little hopesissy... if only you knew that I AM THE CALUS POSTER. Bungie's end is nigh, all we are doing now is playing our part in the grand performance that is Bungie's RAPE.
>>559685896>bungie lost most of the people capable of working with tiger engineThe funny thing is that somehow somewhat VV and HM mastered the engine a lot faster and better than bungo themselves. And that's when bungo were full of old timers and still under activision. I feel like bungo devs have always been trash carried by a handful who had some proper deep knowledge and the rest were just kicking dicks and riding the coat tails.
rape rape rape rape rape rapeNow its at 69 xD
Why is hopesissy crashing out over rape now?
>>559730514https://litter.catbox.moe/ndf2h6ym8kq16x53.7zwill last 1 day.Be careful when downloading stuff like that. People are too trusting nowadays
marathon is the game for non-cucks
>>559757804Almost every circlejerk sub is a safe space for buttmad troons.
>>559765304The studio was basically carried by the grace of Microsoft and Activision. If it wasn’t for them, they would have died out by the start of the PS4 era.
What does /arg/ think of marathon
>>559765304Old Bungie basically was your frat rock band that fucked around and got by on a pure talent and luck, who eventually got too big and famous, attracted way too many MBA parasites and money corrupted OG members, who went full corporate with the age.
>>559765304>I feel like bungo devs have always been trash carried by a handful who had some proper deep knowledge and the rest were just kicking dicks and riding the coat tails.The Halo series proves this, honestly. By Reach nobody knew what the fuck they were doing.
>>559765717Thanks. Have an Ada-1.
If I want to play Destiny 1 do I just need to have a console? I can't play it on pc even with a emulator?
>>559768683Yep, console only.
We are going to see sub 30k players today
>>559768683it has ps3 and xbox360. I see no reason for it to not run, unless it's online only game and checks if it's emulated.
>>559719604Inside Paul is the real Paul, DOOMGOD Tassi. It's fighting the goymaxxed, mkultroon Paulina Tassi personality installed into his mind by former bungo handlers. Sad!
>>559726957>Why does this old millennial type like a faggotIt's just what we do lol
>>559744601>I-if you don't love marathon you're brown!Next you'll say>I-if you don't love marathon you're a troon!
>>559755848>Marathon is amazing because of shit your average extraction shooter doeslmao????????????
>>559770142We did it
>>559771021Extremely OVER
>>559771021ROAD TO SUB 20K
>>559764894Hopesissies deserve tender DOOMcock love after being horribly raped n gaped by bungo ad nauseum
>>559768683You can't connect to the servers via emulator so the furthest you'll get is the main menu
>>559772424years are you could connect to custom servers, but it seems like bungie nuked them lol
>>559773257actually nvm they fine just extremely slow since they are basically rewriting all of netcode
>>559770592there's only one real paul and it's a reptile pretending to be a human
>>559755848>diablo has it>payday has it>every extraction shooter has it>every fps multiplayer with shit on the map has it
>>559756197why wouldn't d3 be a fresh start with no vault transfer? they practically nuked everyone's vaults anyways with Edge of Fate.
>>559774619there's a lot of retarded cope about d3 including everything from d2, or both d2 and d1, or something. which would never ever happen
what did you guys do in destiny yesterday
>>559774680that's fucking absurd, shit would be like 350 GB at least
>>559774680D3 is just bungie fans wet dream, its anything and everything at the same time, its perfect in every way, perfect PVP, perfect PVE, perfect Gambit, its just god like perfect game that will make us a god
>>559774767i thought we get to be gods by escaping marathon
>>559774843D3 will be revealed once you finish marathon chuddie
>>559774903were it so easy
>>559774730nta but its not that crazy. individual expansions could be individual downloads you just download and delete when you're done with them.
>>559775490that's far too practical for bungie to figure out
>>559775490erm no chuddie our spaghetti code precludes thatalso on a more serious note i would like to remind people about the court case where they said that red war content literally does not exist in a playable state (i believe bungie won that case eventually because their opponent was a schizo liar who couldn't actually prove anything)
>>559775674>i believe bungie won that case eventually because their opponent was a schizo liar who couldn't actually prove anythingThey settled
>>559775757most do
>>559775815Im saying this because bungie didnt win anything and case was dismissed because they settled. Im going out of my way to mention this because bungie tried to pull a quick one on reddit and claim victory by citing their own lawyers arguments.
>>559775881no i meant i believe you
>under 25kbro this is mirroring the open playtest this is a disaster
>>559776328>d2 currently at 2k
>>559776429Good.DROWNDROWNDROWNDROWN
So is bungie surviving this year or what boys?
Sissies my Marathussy hurts...
THERE IS NO PLAYER DRAIN IN MARATHON LOOK AT ALL THOSE REVIEWS CHUDDIESTHE GAME IS PERFECTBUNGO WON
hey jamie, pull up the steamdb on femboy futa mania
>>559777649it's so fucking over
>>559777352There is no bigger justice than this>Seattle-based megacompany with storied history, now full of soulless husks that drape human skin over their ghastly carcasses, and who sold their souls to Mammon ages ago, obsessed with endless pursue of profits>vs>small and humble indie studio that released a follow up to a beloved hit game, in early accessThe brutal mogging we witness is the proof that the god exists, and he just smote idiots in nuBungie. >betrayed their own fans who were with them through thick and thin, and gave them more chances than they deserve>forced media outlets to postpone their reviews for arbitrary reasons>also been caught in art stealing dramaThe misery nuBungie is about to receive is 100% earned.
russians are getting permabanned for playing with VPNs HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>559779021what's the reasoning for this, more troongie virtue signaling for jewkraine I assume?
>>559771021>20k reviews Not beating the botting allegations
>>559779212They soft-banned every account made with a Russian IP a while ago, so this is probably just making it formal and closing the loophole.
>>559780758what absolute shitheads, why not ban other countries at war then? I fucking hate this performative lefty shit so much, insufferable company cares more about heckin wholesome social optics than making entertaining games.
>>559780915>why not ban other countries at war then?Large parts of Ukraine counted as Russian IPs. Does that count?
>>559780915israel is demiurge larping as chosen one and US is their golem, rules do not apply to them
>>559780980that makes it even more hilarious, fuckwits can't even virtue signal right despite it being the only thing they ever do
>>559781034yeah I was gonna say israel at first but it's a no-brainer why they allow them do run amok, fucking spineless.
>>559779212No idea, but I saw some reviews from people getting banned over VPNs, or from people who were temporarily banned because of poor connection even though it was fine during the actual game (no idea what country it was though).>>559780980>>559781072>>559779021I don't really think they can afford to ban anyone over shithead political reasons at a time when player counts are in the gutter for both games and Bungie's Japanese overlords are not happy with their financial results.
>>559778415it is really crazy that they decided to trade their absolutely dick-whipped d2 fanbase for the hardcore extraction shooter fanbase, one of the most 'toxic' and fickle fanbases out there
>>559782723i think that decision was made a long time ago, they probably thought destiny 2 was evergreen and would just keep a steady player base. destiny 2 would be their steady source of income while they made other companion games like marathon and that other cancelled slop.destiny 3 has been green lit so we're going to see it in like 8 years if the company survives that long, which i really doubt.
>>559778415It's also funny because Spire 2 had to scrap their original game and rebuild it on godot because of that whole Unity engine clusterfuck and they still made an amazing game while bungie had to go through who knows how many iterations of this crap
>>559779212I think it might be how they set up their retarded filters in their ""anticheat" program, I still haven't forgotten how they banned people who were using discord when they launched D2 on pc
>>559782723except the tryhards mostly dont care about marathon either so they're left with the artstyle faggots who think they're doing some sort of activism by defending the game because the chuds are agaisnt it
niggas will look you straight in the eye and say that destiny lore post lightfall is good and not retarded dogshit
>ctrl +f "marathon" here>115 resultsyou niggers are really obsessed huh
>>559784281Weren't there also some random bans in D2 because BattlEye was triggered by OBS?
>>559786361>D2's corpse was raped for the sake of marathon, marathon floppingObsessed with winning.
>>559786361no one plays destiny 2 anymore, /dg/ should rebrand to /rbg/ - rape bungie general
>>559786361retarded ass nigga I will kill you and rape your corpse
>>559786361It's the Destiny killer
Fun With Friends™
>>559787395>Marathon SLAPS bro, you just need a full stack bro, just get your friends to play bro>LISTEN UNC, BUNGIE NEEDS PLAYERS
>>559786530Yes
You bitter CHUDS don't get it. They/thems wanted to make a game they love again(ignore the devs literally telling the suits the shift in design was a bad idea).
>>559787752here's a crazy thoughthow about another single player scifi shooter
>>559787885Single player is DEAD CHUD. Real gamers wanna watch hardcore shooting pvp with crisp movement tech!
>>559787752you just fucking know its bungie shilling because they keep pretending like marathon is some super competitive hardcore borderline esports game.it has been bungies DESPERATE dream of making esports worthy game since halo.
>>559784194What? When unity started pushing for a high cut of revenue or something and the meltdown was so bad they supposedly backed down?
Im glad there's to many good games this year that will prevent marathon for winning any kind of GOTY award. Bungie doesnt deserve anything for recycled slop
>>559788584they were never even competing
>>559788384Yeah some devs decided to change their engines because unity couldn't be trusted to go back again on their word
>>559788584>Hail Mary their last remaining relevant IP in the hopes it would catch on>Tried to do this in a market that was already settled by last September What was the plan here?
>>559788584>And the winner of best NICHE title goes to... Mara-, I mean Femboy Futa Mania
>>559789793>below slime rancher 2HOLY YIKES
>>559789793>800k profilesthere are over 100 million ps plus subs lol
>>559789013Yes I get that but lets be real for a secondObviously bungie can pay for award, secondly content creators have a strong grip and can influence people to make decisions even though they dont play the game (look at d2 and all of the horrible changes influenced by content creators), and the game has a somewhat unstable 30k playercount. That is enough for it to compete for some awards. They can compete with best live service, best community support, best multiplayer, and God I hope not but they could compete with music and obviously GOTY if nothing else better comes out this year. While I was typing this I decided to use AI to see what it thinks and it doesn't even mention marathon. I think some games from this list like RE9, and control will definitely make it to the GOTY while the other games im skeptical, but I think slay the spire will also contend so maybe marathon will be fucked. To further cope those 250k arc raiders players couldn't get selected for GOTY so I have high hopes that they wouldnt let recycled garbage into the vote
>>559789793Note: Server Slam was #26
>>559789907>800k isn't a big enough sample size, goyim!Cope slopsissy
>>559789938realistically they can only aim at best artstyle or art direction or whatever its called. its the only thing that keeps reddit engaged atm, funnily enough its THE that defines marathon and it was stolen LMAOso yeah, i expect them to win this one, although it should be that artist who wins it, not bungie
>banning russia >still can't play on linux>can't get the steamdeck audienceWhy does bungie hate making money?
>>559790440Burning money is much more fun
>>559789298They were late on the deadline and were threatened with the SIVA katana to have the game out by March or else.
>>559790395No I dont think they can with with art style tbqh. Im not sure where all of these "muh art" people came from but the game is doing that stupid overdesign shit where they add a bunch of useless shit to weapons, armor, interiors, etc like how warframe does their shit.
>>559790675none of that matters, its the way reddit feels that matters, they dont even have to play the game.reddit bases their opinions on feeling that they felt when they saw cinematics, sloptube, streamers and pictures. i fully expect 5 billion votes for marathon art and endless bungie praise even tho they completely stole it loljust remember how much it was shilling once marathon was revealed
>>559790908You offer a good point and it will continue to make me seethe that this game recieves so much praise and everyone ignores the incompetence from bungie
I wonder wheb player sentiment will change in marathonWhat do you guys think? Perhaps first seasonal update will open people's eyes?
>>559791239People gon' learn what a wipe is and get mad
>>559791239the player sentiment is already overly negative just look at any streamer chat to see people making fun of itits only populated by the people forcing themselves to play it because of le art style
>>559791239the promised updated might change thing around but until then i expect it to be on the brink of death until then. if what they drop is insanely mind-blowingly huge enough to bring players up to like 200-300k then they might win community engagement award as well. i assume their promised update is some sort of live event with live alien invasion
>>559791239Either>Raid map drops and it's peak shit/buggy slop>Gets glazed by shills/reviewers and it shatters the illusions for normies playing the slopor>Raid map drops and it's good>Then bungie rapes all that good player sentiment/will by dropping peak slop in the shop or cruising by on increasingly dogshit updates until their 80k dwindles to 8k by the end of the year
its already plateauing
>>559789334>Femboy Futa ManiaI noticed that nearly every single porn game being released now on steam is just mass produced aislop
>go to steam reviews>very positive>most posts start with "the forced hate is dumb", "the hate train was wrong about this one"Im starting to notice patterns bungie
>>559791735>now
>>559791721for today? lol retard
>>559791870See, those weren't made with AI though, you can count on a single hand the number of porn games that aren't aislop these days even f95 and japanese doujin markets are getting flooded with that crap
>>559792140Ah true that, AI spam is annoying as hell
>>559791721Uhhhh Tuesday is the real test. Nobody plays games on a Monday, ignore the fact that STS2 is just a few thousand off from its all time CCU record. #MarathonTakeover
>>559789907>indian doesn't understand how sample sizes workbrown moment
>>559792276The Marathon chart looks so unnatural lmao.
>>559789793
Sony-sama... You must unleash all fiat reserves and let bungie hire more shills and streamers to play the game... The marketing ashigaru shills are uneasy and their shaming tactics are no longer working on the chuds...
>>559792276slay the spire does great numbers when browns are up
>>559792279fuck you pakistani
>>559792564>xe says playing maraflop
>>559792564>brownsC'mon shill, it's an indie game, the insult you're looking for is troons not browns.
>Indie card game>setting new peak concurrent players daily>might break 600k today during off-hours on a monday>might be the biggest indie game launch of the decade and its just EARLY ACCESS>30k glowing reviews>Slopathon, releases at thw exact same time>couldnt even break 100k on launch day and somehow got worse every day since despite better and better primetime hours>nobody seems to be earnestly enjoying the game>Bungie asks reviewers not to nuke the game a week after launch so they (Bungie) can try to hail marry some dripfeed content weeks away>20k reviews, very positiveEven implying 1/3 of the playerbase is organically leaving reviews is preposterous. I need to investigate this later because this is unheard of levels of cope.
>>559789793Was this post deleted or faked? I can't find any trace of it
>>559792276>574k lol it keeps growing
>>559792687Anon, the paid shills work on a script, anyone who doesn't like Marathon are browns
im looking at a stream of Marathon, and they really decided to go for that unfinished tech test demo look. it looks so unfinished its kinda making my head hurt. Like im waiting for the textures to load in properly but they never do.
Ill make the thread soon
>>559793036https://www.reddit.com/r/Marathon/comments/1roymf0/playstations_most_played_games_the_past_week/
>>559792769>Bungie asks reviewers not to nuke the game a week after launch so they (Bungie) can try to hail marry some dripfeed content weeks awayIt's more retarded because at least in D1 VoG coming in and saving it was fairly organic, this is bungie trying what worked, without realizing they really didn't need to release a shit game and try to save it with a raid again, like fucking why?????????? Especially when you consider the raid was already talked about and hyped up during marketing. They should have just dropped it on launch and set up some shitty bungo puzzle slop on the only map that unlocked the raid map and have streamer niggers like sloppo and shlrump and doogus can do 24/7 watchable hype streams to better generate positive buzz. Then it could continue throughout launch week as the playerbase then finally unlocks the new map they then can do more community puzzle slop to then figure out the secrets to the raid and shit to better mask how shit the game actually is instead of this drop it with basically nothing approach lmfaooooo

>>559790440>>559790475From what I remember, enabling battleye on proton was basically a flip of the switch, so this was a conscious decision not to release the game on Steam Deck or Linux.
>>559794301It is, people have already talked with the devs and they said that it was already done because other games use the same anticheat and work just fine
