game is shit
>>560674037I DON'T CARE POST THE IMAGE
>>560674515ranked being smash tv is a pretty good bit
>>560674515Thanks for replacing the brigading trannycord with the official trannycord
even the redditors are starting to get nervous about cryo archive not allowing solo queue
>>560674651>why are people surprised its a br when its marketed as an extraction shooter!>the head designer was a guy who made a counter-strike clone!nothing adds up
>Bungie is notorious for only making changes everyone asks for when they are dying>marathon keeps getting changes everyone asks for
>>560674801Probably why they reset the final arg bullshit. To give them more time to implement it.
Went to a nice sushi restaurant yesterday, had 32 dollars worth of raw fish and tipped 25%. Better 40$ spent than on Marathon.
>>560674515>>560674771https://discord.gg/RDy8sPCeKcofficial /vg/ discord to link up with anonsit actually gets more attention not being in the OP so this works out
This junkie slut offers to suck your dick for 200 credits. Your response?
>>560674309almost no aspect of this game, from the matchmaking to the map design to the fundamental gameplay systems has actually been thought out. it's been through 3-4 reworks and it shows, especially that they hastily reworked it from a hero shooter into an extraction shooter.what's astounding is that journalists getting insider reports always were claiming that Bungie employees were unironically thinking this would be one of the top 5 selling games for the year. they were constantly going on about how it was too big to fail, guaranteed to sell, while the game got hacked apart multiple times..>>560674920probably because in all their marketing the game is advertised as a slow paced extraction shooter
>>560674972>it actually gets more attention not being in the OP so this works outFUCKKKKKKKKKK
Samefag
>>560674920you marketed the game to be something it's notvalorant=/=extraction shooter. its a counter-strike clone.you are lying faggots. you developed streamer slop to market it as something it's not. enjoy the dead game.
>haha yeah what if we trigged player ptsd haha
Maybe you guys would be less shit at the game if you played it instead of endlessly posting about steam charts
>>560674753Next baker will have to add that to the next OP.Here's the links. Keep Recent Patch Notes & Roadmap up until that gets replaced by the the newest version. The rest is up to personal preference.>>560674515>Ranked Mode Deetshttps://x.com/TauCetiGG/status/2033929468713308638>Cryo Archive detailshttps://tauceti.gg/articles/marathon-cryo-archive-unlock-requirements
I believe in a world with Hubs
The world of Tau Ceti IV is a world where the strong feast on the weak. And as the strongest I have to say. I've grown bored of a world like that.
Never join a /vg/ discord, they are filled with troons, nonces, groomers, sociopaths and legit weird people. Prob 90% of the server pop.
Please no. We already get raided by /arg/ and /dg/. Baggots are not permitted to join in.
>>560676178so they're the same as any other discord server?
>>560676178All discords are full of those things but yes /vg/ discords are the worst, a /b/ level hellscape of troons and noncery.
<3
Game devs who don't play games can't keep getting away with making dogshit games at some point it has to stop

>>560676738They need to be PvP'd in real life. Preferably with Donbas tactics.
Tick nests: destroyedChitin samples: exfiledHell yeah, a job well done.
>>560676260Yeah. Except remove the sole safeguard where if you groom someone, you have to do it under the notice of a large group of potential non-groomers. It's why smaller Discords is where you take the children from larger Discords when you need to groom the in private around your fellow child-fuckers.Hypothetically of course.
>cryo is teams ONLYOH NO
>only 1% of game population can play cryo>only 1% of 1% will survive the BR mode for the first 20 mins.>99% stuck playing on the 3 other booty mapswho thought this was going to be a good decision?
>>560676767guh. do you think thief has some big tits underneath that puffy jacket?
>>560677107>1%Lvl 25 and sekgen contract completed isn't that hard senpai
well…as the light dims and the sun sets ob Marathon, I look back fondly on my time spent with this unique and beautiful titlesuch as shame it has to end like this, I can only hope the game lives on in other gamers hearts as it will minehad a blast, got my moneys worth and regret not a single moment spentthank you Bungie
>Completing the run with this kit will give Arachne reputationOnly gave me 3 (three) rep.
>>560677089I wonder if it requires premades.
>>560677252>Lvl 25 and sekgen contract completed isn't that hard senpaihalf the players dont have 7 runs completed check the steam achievement list
>>560676572Why does she have a d-ring collar if not for attaching a leash to and dragging her around like the sex-pet she clearly is?
>>560677089>making up shityawn
>>560677252the difficulty comes with how much the games matchmaking is dogshit, with this many players, and the top% gatekeeping people from even getting to that
>>560677369That half of players refunded the game anyway, moron.
>bring a real loadout>get jumped on spawn and immediately lose it>bring pocket lint and a tenga>wipe the lobby and make out like a banditwhat the FUCK causes this i swear every time i go into a match with actual gear i lose it immediately

>>560677089>>560677662Anyone who wasn't expecting this was an idiot
>>560677738It's tuesday retard
Why is Milo asking about random bullshit when this meeting is to solve the ARG?
>>560677632theres trannies tryin to tell bungie to not tell anyone how matchmaking works because they worked on modern warfare 3.theres a lot of bullshit happening under the hood.
>>560677369Show me on the chart where 50% of all STEAM players haven't completed 7 runs, let alone 7 Exfiltrations.
>>560674515noone wants to play the original marathon for freenoone wants to watch the trailers the games been out for 2 weeks almostnoone cares about "BATTLEPASS UPDATED" you fucking shill drone
>>560677984i care
this fucking company lmao
>Game only caters to Streamers and Content Creators>Constantly given insane gifts and items and invited to free dinner with Bungie>Bungie only listens to streamers for input on how to improve the game>Streamer, live had a timed gift from Bungie, just lit up and opened Jfc all the money went into advertising vaporware huh?
>>560677662wellp it's over
>>560677738Are you so burned out by watching steamcharts 24/7 that you legitimately think any amount of deviation has to be masturbated over?
>Catering to the 1% and streamersNot sure about this...
>>560677662>chat spamming LThey fucked it all up again.
>>560677662>https://files.catbox.moe/m9bmwq.webmAHAHAHAHA also you can't queue it with trio fill either, you have to manually make a team of threeAHAHAHAHA
Raid drama 2: Electric you know the rest
>>560677662wow okay so it's actually confirmed trios onlyi've enjoyed my 40~ hours in the game so far but I think anyone else who has been playing should get it in while you're still able to. this is going to cause such an insane backlash, this isn't like Destiny 2 where there's a whole heap of shit aside from raids, this is just the entire endgame blocked off unless you run a premade.
this company had 10 years of destiny and they never learned
>>560678487It's not going to create a backlash idiot. Screenshot this too, nobody wanted solo in the beginning either.
>>560678578Are you getting paid enough for this or would you like a raise?
>one fourth (o n e f o u r t h) of the entire game requires you to go to an LFG site to even access it>you can still get slaughtered by other teams if you're not one of the tip top players anywaygenuinely such an astonishingly bad move that I almost can't believe it, I was thinking that they would at a minimum allow in free kits to maybe grab a collectible or two and sneak out without accessing the vaults. but no, it's just completely barred off.
>>560678740Sorry chud
Why are people crying so muchEven if you cant do cryo with fill, "You have to run this as a stack" has never, ever been an issue with end game competitive team based games before.Did you guys kick and scream and piss yourselves if you had to get a party together to do a dungeon in wow 20 years ago?
>>560677662Dude lol
>>560678740Only the most Unemployed Transsexuals would be allowed to play the game as intended, deal with it.
>>560678578>nobody wanted solo in the beginningthe open playtest a year ago caused such extreme backlash due to there being no solo queue that Bungie was forced to add one or the game would have died even on launch. most of the playerbase is solos who occasional use group fill.
>Online multiplayer game wants me to engage with other peopleI'm going insane help me niggerman
>Another Bungie Dev popped in to streamers call>Paid flight to fly to Bungie, free food, all out for themJESUS this game is literally, LITERALLY only for streamers.
surprised it isn't just a transitional zone with a key requirement like labyrinth in tarkov. seems like the easiest way to give it a "difficult" entry and still make it accessible
Please don’t let Marathon die guysI would miss this game, please
Bungie will double down just like they did with Raids. Not only do you need a premade but there will be weapons and gear exclusive to Cryo that are a step up compared to the rest. Enjoy the game while you can bros, many solo players will vanish and many casual trios will get farmed until they quit.
>oh my god the game that wants me to play with other teams mandates i played with teams
>>560678915Yeah, where's my free food Bungie you fucking assholes!
>>560678827>a game for NobodyGreat move Bungie.
>Another rook unlocked a safe room>Left two blue LMGs>Hear the guarded exfil 100m away>Hear the gunshots>Start running and see they got downed>Pull out the knife>Exfil takes us bothIt's your lucky day, amigo.
>>560678964Why is there solos if i'm supposed to trio?
>>560678925We need RUSSIA
>>560678935Also the Marathon ID Cards have changed.Each section of Cryo related to bosses can ONLY be accessed with the ID Cards if you want to do the challenge/boss
>>560677662It is actually, unironically, unequivocally over unless they preemptively do some damage control and talk about future changes.
>>560678827>Did you guys kick and scream and piss yourselves if you had to get a party together to do a dungeon in wow 20 years ago?WoW>hundreds of hours of content before max levelMarathon>3 shit ass maps
>>560677662Guess I'll be joining the discord, god help me
>>560678827Most games have an ingame party finder system or ingame group/clan system.Destiny 2 had none for the first decade. Once they added it it was all people used.Marathon shipped with none despite it being proven that people utilize social systems in games.Every MMO has one. Marathon is not massive, so I guess it does not.
>>560678991That's not the point. I'm implying they spent all their money not on the game and improving it but for advertisements, a weird fucking tournament, a LITERAL Prank Ad campaign for the game and free flight, food, pampering for streamers and all this other crap they get for free.
>>560678827This is the modern internet experience, all people do is complain, rage bait, and doom post. It sucks.
>>56067882720 years ago? No. Now? Yes. Look at GW2. They've updated their LFG system so you can now fill-in PUG for Raids and fractals. They mostly fail since they're randomized, but they need it or else the socially weak would never have gotten into the content.
As long as I can continue to level perks and factions i'm good. Once they start locking progression behind this forced premade slop is when i'm out, and their history with molestiny says they will.
>>560679083You also had to get a 5man party together to do ragefire chasm at level 10-15, a couple of hours into the game. Nobody cried then, and back then that was just sitting in a chat channel in game waiting for people to message you "inv pls"Nowadays we have 10million easier ways to get stacks
>>560679198Nah man, I'm with you. This is some fucking bullshit. I bought their damn game the least I deserve is a 12" pizza and some dipping sauce. They fucking owe me. I'm never forgiving these charlatans.
Something that I think is not being discussed right now is how this is going to rapidly cause this game to morph into maybe the most toxic games ever made. LFG raids in Destiny were bad enough with the bullshit people would do, now imagine LFGing and doing a Vault only to die to another team later.Genuinely what are they thinking, this is just incoherent.
>>560679204They also post porn
GOD THIEF IS PURE SEXOOOOOOOO
>Not only you need to be an unemployed gamer>You need other two Unemployed gamers to play the game
PvE activities with a clear order of operations are not comparable to a PvPvE dungeon where the rules of engagement are in constant flux. Appealing to WoW or other MMOs is foolish and the archetypical strawman.
>>560677662
Get in here /mg/, it's happeninghttps://discord.com/invite/marathonthegame
I'm not a social retard and have been doing LFG to find people to play with every time I played so this is nothing new or different
>Face the unknown as a crew of two or three, or alone in solo lobbies>Once the way into orbit unlocks, bring your endgame build to Cryo Archivefalse advertising on the steam page btw
I've fallen behind the curve and can't quest on Dire Marsh. I don't have keys. I have greens and a scant few blue guns in my vault. Rook runs on Outpost are not making me any money because all the good loot is already taken.Genuinely, what do you do in this scenario? I can't run free kits because I just get obliterated, everyone in the 30s bracket is running blues and purples. Where are they finding all this shit? I haven't ever EVER seen a purple shield in a container.
>>560679531>false advertising on the steam page btwR A P E D
>>560678487>>560678418I love how this is exactly how Destiny raids shipped out and they just repeated their retardation again. This is Destiny 3 anyone who says otherwise is a retard.>Destiny - you are immortal and can't die because your form will be remade as a Guardian>Marathon - you are immortal and can't die because your consciousness was transferred out of your shell as a RunnerLOL
Destinyfags exist to feed me dopamine from them shitting themselves non-stop
>>560679362It's going to be unbelievable toxic.
AIEEEEEEEEEEEE THERE ARE LIMITED TIME CRYO CONTRACTS THE POWERGAP WILL KEEP INCREASING
>>560677927FUCKING ANSWER ME YOU DICKLESS FAGGOT. FACE YOUR LIES AND CHOKE ON YOUR SHIT YOU FUCKING PISSDRINKING RETARD.>>560677369WHERE IS YOUR PROOF YOU LITERAL COWARD.
Turn on the ARG channel on the discord it doesn't matter what device
>>560679593Go in solo and afk in a corner until at least the 10 minute mark. 5 minute mark if your quest doesn't require exfil. Yes, this is actually how you're supposed to play the game if you aren't good enough to wipe the lobby
>>560677927>97.6% of every person who bought the game actually played itGood to know that this isn't being bought solely to be put on someone's backlog at least.
>Spawn in close to objective along with teammate who has same contract>Other guy pings something far away>Fuck that I'm going to my closer contract>They both die>TEAMMATE WHERE ARE YOU>Complete contract aloneWhoops.
Bungie is a fascinating thing, and in my ignorant youth, I may have seen it as aspirational. Like Escharum. 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.
NO REFUNDSI don't care I'll queue up with Randos
>>560680384BASEDSO FUCKING ZASED
>>560678006I only go in with free kits and sell everything that isn't upgrade material. I like watching the money number go up.
>>560680078Holy shit they're in open rebellion because the streamers are being flown to Bungie HQ to be given the final answer
>>560680078LMAO
THEY MUST HAVE AMNESIA THEY FORGOT THAT I'M HIM
I'm glad I held off on buying the game, what a disaster. It seems the raped destiny faggots were right
https://files.catbox.moe/m9bmwq.webmFuck this, I'm going to quit, hope I can get a refund
>>560677662why did they advertise the game as being solo friendly and then wall a fourth of it behind this
>>560681004How much of that value is from the three dudes you klepped?
>>560679593You LFG because solo queuing is completely misery
thread theme https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIscL-Bjsq4
>>560679593quit, you arrived too late at the fomo party
>>560681063Its not even doing it out spite because our game is no longer getting GOOD updates, its to flat out warn people that Bungie is rightfully disliked for a multitude of reasons. Whatever good is in their games is immediately undone by their pants-shitting retarded game designers and their constant obsession with being a live service company, along with having tons of "watchable" content because they always think it translates into sales (it doesn't).
>>560679593>Where are they finding all this shit? No idea, i'm around the same level and i've never seen one of these room keys and have seen exactly ONE(1) piece of purple salvage.
>>560681313Fuck man. I was having a really good experience with fill trios up until last night, getting shit done. Something changed cause now it's like... Endless low level or free kits and zero comms. Then you just get ran through.
>>560681367KekCan someone draw a Pic of this with Vandal as Rei, Thief as Asuka and Assasin as Shinji?And in the Heaven a Masterchief with a Crystal Gun to his Head?That woud be so fucking kino
Can't wait for all the sour grapes itt after cryo releases.>It's shit because I refuse to play trios!>It's shit because I can't get a key!>I bet the boss/mechanics/whatever aren't even fun!>Enjoy getting ganked by streamers!>etc.
>>560679014>Activate supply drop>Run to activate an exfil>Run back to supply drop and loot>Run back to exfil and see another rook get downed in the circle by a Runner>Jump in and finish him before exfilhehehe.
what streamers are we watching? I only know shroud, he's very good but such a twat
Don't watch any streamers, instead you should snipe them 24/7 and spam various words that twitch have banned in voice chat.
>>560681728hope you enjoy even having a thread while it lasts
>cryo is locked until two shills get paid to go to bungie hqLmao so much for a community driven arg
>>560679490too organic. >>560679395Needs more porn, tbqhfldd
the ARG discord is fucking losing it
faggot fucking rat assassin reported me and gave me a warning
I hopes the cryo archive map was going to be a quasi pve only experience where only one team/solo could enter at a time to defeat the alien boss. instead it's just another map, bummer.
>>560682167did you call him a nigger anon? I know he probably deserved it but sometimes you gotta hold your tongue.
>>560682167>Kill a scout>Teammate calls me a retard>Don't know which one, report both anywayI mean, don't be a faggot IRL?
>>560682167I just paypig which gives me a dev shield for reports
>need to group up for cryo>has a minimum loadout cost>rooks not allowed inGet fucked leeches.
>>560682214Get enough of the discord to suggest and push this and they may be forced to take a hard-right turn
>>560680205These are the retards the professors wanted you to work with in college?
>>56068251690% of the playerbase will never experience cryo archive, 90% of the playerbase will quit the game
this rich get richer pyramid scheme bullshit cannot be sustainableyou took my purples and taunted me on prox? have fun with that buddy game's going offline before the first wipe
I should have listened to the destiny rape victims
>>560682284I just called him a rat because he took my cheesburger later I stole his longshot and exfiled with destroyer but left without him and called him a rat again
>cryo archive requires you to LFG triosAIEEEEEEEE
>>560682637>90% of the playerbase can't run a 5k loadout
Shroud says cryo archive being trio only is a good thing because the game is balanced for trios.
>>560682523I don't think that could ever happen, the discord is full of literal bungie throatfuckers that will go against any feedback or change you propose, no matter how constructive or legitimate it is.
>>560681653It's worst during the day, night is way better
>>560682458>the DOOMuncs from Destiny General are all currently in marathon generalas I was telling them in their dead thread, I fully expect Cryo to be the biggest streamer event of the year, we're probably going to drive some much attention from how good it will be to watch that the playerbase will skyrocket back to 80k.
>two shit guns and a fuck load of nadesI can't wait for Cryo to be essentially team fortress classic
>ranked doesnt even use SBMMWhat a shitshowI should have spent those 40€ on crack
Whoever wins ceyo archive comes out with an entire inventory of 5k+ player lobby and the golds. You'll be insanely op if you win but then you lose your gear to a rook in dm so the trickle down is real
>>56068270190% of the playerbase doesn't have a stable group to play with, playing with randoms is miserable and people that rely on auto fill will never progress enough to unlock cryo archive anyway, and a lot of players only play exclusively solo
>>560682701when the percentage of completed exils is this>>560677927im sure most are shitters
>>560682762I heard Shroud also said he sucked off your grandpa
>>560682935pickle down rickenomics in action
>>56068270190% of the playerbase doesn't want to have to go on discord, find two other people to play with, then endure getting screamed at and reported by other people when another team takes all their loot, their gear, and blames them for everything that goes wrong.You guys don't understand, they managed to do something impossible, that being make an even worse and more toxic Destiny raiding scene
the glorious fucking shitshow cryo is going to cause simply because its trio premade only lol
>>560677662>I'll make my own with blackjack and hookers.
>>560679414weird how the unemployed are the ones shittin on the game tooweird paradox
>>560682935>trickle down is reallmao, cryo archive will be just a massive sink for high tier equipment that will never be brought in other maps anyway
Why does EVERY single time I actually use an expensive loadout in solo I am matched against purple shields ratsI actually do so much better when on free kit it's insane, MM might be fucked
>>560682862>I fully expect Cryo to be the biggest streamer event of the yearGTA6 could very well drop this year and you really think Marathon would somehow overshadow it? You also haven't been around for Destiny's raids at all, because they always get huge numbers for streamers participating, but it doesn't do much to increase sales when its content only 5-10% of the playerbase engages with.
>refresh r34 with the tags "marathon_(bungie) -ai_generated ">nothing newhurry uuuuppppp
>>560682918How much could you buy with 40€? Like a pinky lick? Do you compensate the rest of the amount with head?
>>560683224>GTA6 could very well drop this year
>>560679593you cant really come out of that because the games designed for people to just snowball the first couple days. the matchmaking is probably fuckin busted too so you cant even freely farm in "lobbies" matched just gettin your loot because you're going to come across squads that will steamroll the whole map because it was designed so fuckin poorly>small mapsizes>can hear gunshots across almost the whole map>broken snipers>spawns are set and close togetherextraction shooter was a fuckin lie.
>>560683309why don't you just generate pics yourself anon
>>560683059It's not premade only its trios
>>560683309I could make some but it'd be futa only, that ok?
>>560683223if you have good loot the game matches you against better people with worse lootif you have nothing the game matches you against people who are worse than you but have better loot
we warned you
Reminder that Bungie literally had a GDC talk this year scheduled about how they produced another huge live service game hit.That talk has been canceled.
>>560683223Total Vault Value+Level iirc
>down a guy with a charge shot headshot of the volt sniper>he starts spamming voice lines at me >had blue shields on himMust have been a consolefag
>>560683224>Destiny raid>6 of us sit in a corner while some squeaker unplugs his playstation and reconnects so we have immortality while we spam gallajorns at a bossGood times.
>>560683054this. ive seen people on reddit tellin people to join dad discords to party up and that shit is not going to stop you from gettin mopped by people with gamer chair skills
>>560677662How could they fuck this up so much? I wouldn't be surprised if 50% of players played exclusively solo, it's an extraction shooter, that's just how the majority of people expect this to play and why they got so much backlash during the april playtest, and they still manage to do this?
>>560683369the minus sign means I'm excluding ai , i don't want it. if i wanted ai garbage I'd be playing ### #######
>>560683470>about how they produced another huge live service game hit.That's not what the talks were about. Anyone can clearly see they are about Networking and Testing because you posted the names of the talks in your image. Why are you being so disingenuous?
>>560683059>Meet old friend from vermintide 1>He already has another friend who playsWell, I got my premade. good luck guys.
>>560683612they listened to streamers. hate to bring up how changing the ttk was a bad idea but welp...
>>560677662i think I'm out guys, this obsession with trios in an extraction shooter of all genres is insane. most extraction shooter players are solos.
>>560683223only go in with free kits and easy farm from retards
>>560683612>exclusively soloThe TTK of this game doesn't let you survive even low level shitters with CyAc kits since there's no armor system if they team up on you plus shell abilities
>>560683768and the only way that will work is if you play like a faggot when the games designed for you to be GO GO GO GO GO
>>560681004You will never be him
every decision bungie makes regarding this game is genuinely so baffling that if i didn't know any better i would think they were actively trying to kill it
I don't even wanna boot this shit up anymore. It's insane how much of a better game this would be if it just had some alternate modes, straight BR, casual arena shit like TDM, singleplayer, co-op etc. Something to fucking do if I want to fuck around in this fictional world for a bit without playing like my life is on the line on pain of getting farmed by a bunch of autistic faggots who suck the fun out of everything they touch. Why are bungie so fucking stupid
i'm trans and I will be telling all my friends not to buy this game after the cryo archive trio reveal
>>560682787Have you tried in earnest?
>>560684081It's only baffling if you haven't paid attention to Bungie since 2010, they're all retarded now.
>fully gear up with my buddies>we get ratted and wiped in the first encounter>say "fuck it" and run free kits>next match we wipe literally the entire mapThere's something about running with free kits that just puts you in the mindset that allows you to obliterate even the most kitted out bastards.
>>560683891in tarkov and hunt you can die from a single bullet but it's still played mainly by solo players, (hunt has lots of balancing for solo players), I agree the ttk should be higher but doesn't change the fact that they're alienating a massive portion of their audience and the potential audience. I have no idea why they're so hellbent on trios only, it's such a stupid decision that automatically makes your game less popular, they're only now thinking of adding duos too.
>>560683470Are you blind or illiterate? You have literally posted proof that disproves what you just said. What brain damage has hating Marathon given you? Get help.
This general is 90% people spazzing out and complaining, I'm out.
>>560683891
>>560683906I still loot blue and purple stuff by spawning in just with the free Bully, I take the shields and meds and sell everything else.
>>560684254You can solo but there's no real way to 'build' your random fucking shell (unless you just want to rook) so I guess that's why they went more for trios. If Bungie does re-add in custom runners like they hinted at initially, something like that would be much cooler but knowing bungie that'll prolly be like 8 years from now
can I have the moth webm?
>they're restocking the collector's editionBros... the game is so alive rn...
This game would be so cool if it were a looter shooter. Maybe I should have played Destiny...
>>560684493no, it's mine
>>560683612It's a modern game, you can be sure they have all the telemetry they need to know which mode everyone is playing, and if Cryo being team-only will have an impact and how big.People saying "oh when they realize everyone is playing solo" in this thread are so cute, you have no idea how live service games are developed. They already know everything they need.
Can you not enter the command wing solo?
So theyre gonna fly out all the streamers to bunnies hq and unlock cryo for them to stream for everyone and then unlock for us lol
>>560684081This is just how Bungie operated for ages. It wasn't fully clear during the early era of D2 but it was painfully obvious the moment they went independent, they do dumb shit either because streamers encourage them or because they prioritize "engagement" over any other metric at the studio. The only reason they got away with tons of shit was because Destiny was a huge hit in its own isolated bubble, that can't happen with Marathon because there's better thought out games people would rather be playing.
>>560684175this is such a common sentiment and experience that I'm CONVINCED the matchmaking is pulling shit behind the curtains to do this I will never run gear on any of the base maps again, it's literally not worth it and 5k is such a small amount for cryo I'd rather just funnel all my actual equipment into runs there
>>560677662love how the guy talking tries to put a little spin on it but then immediately just switches to saying don't shoot the messenger
>>560684109i only played destiny and its like if you took everything out from that and made the main game iron banner but removed abilities and gave everyone legendary weapons
>>560684553go through the drone bay as thief
I'm so sick and tired of dumbass shill comparing this to Tarkov to attempt to defend Marathon. Yes, in Tarkov you can die to a single bullet.In Tarkov you're also a slow lumbering blob with an actual dedicated armor system that calculates damage and penetration. In Tarkov extraction doesn't shoot a beam of light into the air. In Tarkov you don't have busted hero abilities. Tarkov has more than 3 tiny maps.
>>560677662We will be filling
>>560684472Yeah I'm sure making it a hero shooter killed the possibility of this game ever being properly balanced for solos, another reason why it was a fucking massive mistake.There's a reason why hero shooters are team based arena shooters and not survival games ffs, the only other extraction game that has "heroes" that comes to mind is hunger but that is also balanced to be played as a solo and to allow you to build your character to survive on it's own, at least that's what I got from playtests.
It literally says nowhere that the trios have to be premade, you made it up. It will allow squad fill.
>>560684536>they already know everything they needNo, they don't. Every single insider report journalists have talked about over the entire last year has been about Bungie being full on delusional and expecting Marathon to be one of the top five selling games for the year.They also clearly were not expecting people to play the game like a bunny hopping battle royale, nobody in any of the playtests was playing like that and they seem to have been blindsided by it.
>>560684954>Every single insider report journalists have talked about over the entire last year has been about Bungie being full on delusional and expecting Marathon to be one of the top five selling games for the year.source?
>>560684865Fuck you, i thought that was NGS
>>560684553You can, same as in groups. Just gotta sprint around and do it fast as fuck
>>560685058in b4>Several people have posted it on reddit!
>>560684860i feel like half the shit you put on your character should have been permanent shit that doesn't get lost on deathnothing about this game makes sense. they tried to hard to sell it as some hardcore extraction shooter to hide how poorly balanced it is.>yes uh you're supposed to die in under 2 seconds to a thermal scope or shotgun and lose all your gear and implants 40 seconds into the fast paced extraction shooter lol oopsies
>>560685058inb4 some sort of 9D chess coping denial
>>560677662Wait, this is why you retards are dooming about it being premade only? Because a dev made an offhand comment about a "crew"?
>paul tassi
>Refuse to mention actual sales Yeah Bungie is done
>>560684536You're underestimating how fucking stupid bungie is. They wouldn't have taken a massive gamble making this game the way it is if they weren't. The game is a hero shooter because marketing told them it sells better, the game is squad based because marketing told them it sells better, they expected this to be the LoL of extraction shooters but it only proves that they have no fucking clue what kind of game they're making. I guarantee you the percentage of people that actually play this game with a premade group of friends is under the double digits, mostly streamers, and the majority plays solo, half exclusively solo queue with the occasional auto fill because they forget to turn it off.
>>560677662What an absolute shitshow.I am 100% fucking certain Bungie are trying to kill this game so that Sony can finally rape them to death. What a bunch of retards.
>>560685379>"nooo it doesn't count it.... doesnt!"you guys are beyond pathetic
>>560685378yes we're just doom posting
>>560685294nah that source backs you up, thanks for providing evidence anon
damn we got the shitheads from /v/ posting here too huh
>>560685448>majority plays soloWhere is the sauce for this? The game actively encourages you to play teams since you level up considerably faster
>no SBMMbillions will be laid off
>>560685378it doesn't even matter if it's premade only or has trio matchmaking.it being trios only is the big issue, and effectively locks out most of the playerbase. you will also still be forced to use LFG services because random fills will effortlessly get slaughtered
>>560685392yeah posting your fucking discord numbers instead of the number of people playing your shitty game is some grade-A copium
>>560685269the focus they put on rpg-like build crafting in a game where you can instantly lose your build and you can't even have a saved loadout is so stupid.
Its not a race to the bottom anymore. Its a marathon.
>>560685294Here's the actual source in case you thought he was AI-posting.>https://thegamepost.com/bungies-marathon-top-5-npd-sales-year-success-claimed/
Well I'm glad I had my fun with this game before bungie started destroying it. Hope they go out of business and are all left homeless.
borrowed my brothers switch 2 to play pokopia over the last few days and made me forget this game existed
>>560685602The game encourages you to play teams because solo is unbalanced and you can hardly progress, no fucking shit, doesn't mean the majority of players want to play with a team, especially random people.
tier list check?
every lobby is purple shields now and I do not feel like doing the stupid missions to get them
>>560686007The fuck is this good for?
>colostomy bag assassinlmao
>bungie deletes a chunk of my destiny 2 DLC for whatever reason>they bet half the company on a hardcore extraction fps>it struggles on releasekarma is real and it has its foot on bungie's neck, "death is the first step" mfsi also hope marathon corrects course and does really well because i've been enjoying it..
>>560686108i dont see how you can enjoy the game at that point if you're a gamer dad tryin to load up on parameter with squad fillyour teammates rush a poi, shoot robots willy nilly and loot the whole place then you have a premade come in with claymore drones(not patched btw) and shotguns
it's over
Really wish game info was consolidated instead of having to watch>Discord>tauceti.gg>Dev Twitter>Streamers>The official website
somebody should post the clip of them saying it's trios only to the reddit
>>560685602extraction shooters are played mainly as a solo, the first playtests they did was with tarkov players, they should have realized, they really though this game was going to be much bigger so they could afford to lose "some" of the extraction shooter crowd that only play solo, despite the backlash they received in april that forced them to add the shitty solo mode we have now. In general, people prefer to play alone simply because organizing with friends is an hassle, even squad based games that require coordination like Mobas or R6siege are mainly played with "auto fill", so I have no idea why they though making a trio only extraction shooter was a good idea.
>>560686335?
>>560686335So it's 15?
>>560686202The raped
>>560686348That's a tactic called engagement bait anon.
We are moving on to Death Stranding 2: On the Beach
>>560685768The article says that morale was at an "all-time low" and that staff struggled with "frustration and uncertainty" about the game, which contradicts this post's >>560684954 claim that bungie was "delusional" about the quality of Marathon. They obviously knew their shit needed fixing.
>>560686625Already beat it
>>560686721It's not out yet bro
are we saving the balance patch for april or something dude theres way more fuckin wrong going on here than a shotgun
>>560686487The thing is there's little customization compared to most other extraction shooters so I guess they were going for more a team focus. I quite like it, but it also means that the optimal class for solos will always tend to be assassin
>>560686809no wonder it's the most popular character
>>560686537He should have posted this instead and pointed out that it fell by 11 places over... 1 day? https://store.steampowered.com/charts/topselling/global is daily, right?He could have said that shows the honeymoon period is over and the intial influx is of players is all we're going to get. But he didn't. Why? What the actual fuck is wrong with >>560686335 Are you unable, unwilling, incapable of thinking critically and rationally? Is "Big Number" the start and end of your thinking? Fuck you. I'm going to keep replying to you so you don't slide into the sewer and escape your utter fucking retardation. If you are going to doompost, do it properly.
BOOFING SEKIGUCHI PEPTIDES TOOK ME BACK TO THE SENGOKU JIDAI
>>560686638
>ended up as some fucks twitch stream kill highlightyeah im done with this game
>>560687153certified kwabooty
>>560686202taking a note straight from *** ******* lmao
>>560686487the fucked thing they was 6 squad spawns in parameter but solos they x3'd it so you got 18 ding dongs everywhereit should have been still 6 people max on parameter as an example. its really fucking gay how they did shit and wouldn't be surprised if they just had to amp up engagement(like having gunfire be stronger) just so streamers dont complain about their streams being boring
>>560687153I saw a clip on Twitter of a Triage with the same skin I use on the roof of Southern Relay get bullied by a thief drone, not unlike a situation I had been in, but he tried shooting it with a WSTR which I never use. The brief moment I thought it might be me made feel so so embarrassed.
Genuinely, unironically, who the fuck plays solo?>Yeah I love being Triage and having all those heals... For no oneI'm going to pick Recon and tag enemies... for myself?The thought of playing solo hasn't even crossed my mind. Even when my friends are offline I just join randoms, if you have a mic it's nice.
>>560686638No contradiction. The devs on the ground know how much work has to be done to make the work enjoyable. The suits who do nothing but manage and gladhand have said "Top 5" based solely on how much money that want to make, instead of looking at the tiny niche of a niche they have tried to slot themselves into and how much capital it has free to spend.So its true that they are delusional that it will somehow be the top 5 highest-selling games of 2026 despite being a game genre that doesn't have mass appeal to the lowest, casual denominator.
>marathon barely in the top 20 steam best sellers>barely even broke into the top 5 on launch dayeven Veilguard sold better. even Highguard got to number one for longer.>>560686487nail on the head. the retarded valorant devs they hired on are documented to have caused Marathon to pivot into a hero shooter. they tossed out shell customization, the realer art style and a whole host of other things.the end result was a game that has no audience and has flopped.
Okay but will Cryo allow duos when they inevitably add that
>>560687514one rupee has been deposited into your account
>>560687514I play both sometimes i just don't wanna deal with other people
>>560687625I'm serious, I'm trying to get in the headspace of solo only people.
>>560687602My guess is no, because there's something that prevents a solo player from using something like thief or movement abilities that would prevent them from doing mechanics or a puzzle or something that is 100% required and the reason behind trios.
>>560686638Kinda just the difference between your average employee and leadership. Leadership and the analytics/marketing folks were full on delusional while people that can exercise common sense probably knew they were making something good, but niche.
>>560687554I still have no idea why they fucking hire the valorant game director to work on a fucking extraction shooter
>>560687790Like making a really good wooden duck and suddenly expecting it to become the next labubu. It's a nice duck, sure. But the next labubu?
>>560687750there's probably going to be shit puzzles that require you to press 3 buttons at the same time or some shit
How many of you click the Ready Up button the first time and sit at the screen for 30 seconds until you realize you were dumb and need to click it twice...? Or is that only me?
>>560688050yeah the ux is really user friendly and not repetitve and confusing at all
>>560686487Bungie has telemetry implemented in the game, like any other live service game for the past 10 years. They know the data, they act in consequence. If they consider duo and if they think cryo should stay for trios, it means the impact will be minimal.Some content was designed with teams in mind, and that's ok.I don't see people crying that the last WoW raid is not doable solo like 90% of the content
>>560688050I used to but no longer
>>560688050i tend to exit the game when that happens because I really don't know if i wnat to keep playin this shit
>>560688223Everything should be solo-able. Everything. It should require a lot of preparation and understanding/knowledge, but it should be possible.
it will be interesting to see how many solo players quit the game because of this vs trio players picking it up
>>560688050Sometimes when requeuing as Rook after I die I spam space way too fast and accidentally exit the search without realising.
>Cryo is gunna force Bungie fans to use third party websites and grooming discords to play their game modes.No. I'm not going through this faggotry again. If it's true.
>>560688223>>560684536babbling about Bungie collecting telemetry won't save you when it was demonstrated clearly in response to your other posts that Bungie was flailing, desperate, and also critically out of touch even in their playtests with how people play the game.Again, they clearly did not expect the game to devolve into Apex Legends lite with people running around the map seeking to kill everyone else before doing PVP. Nobody in their playtests was playing like that.
>>560688223yeah except wow raids that consist of fighting other players dont exist and its called battlegrounds fuck you niggaimagine tryin to do ragnaros and allowed alliance/horde to also phase in and attack you while you do it god damn fuck you
>>560688439Didn't the up the volume and player count per map since the slam?
>>560688050Every single fucking aspect of the UI is defined by being unintuitive. Thank God they allow you to drag weapon mods straight off weapons now at least I guess holy shit it's like no one at Bungie has actually touched the game.
>>560687554>>barely even broke into the top 5 on launch day>even Veilguard sold better. even Highguard got to number one for longer.Got proof of this besides your ass?
>>560688397>vs trio players picking it uplmfao what makes you think trio players will pick it up? the game has been out two weeks and its lost 1/3rd of its playerbase, some hypersweaty raid map with PVP elements won't change that
>>560688439i want a good gauge how playtests was conducted.was it parameter only? did people start from 0? was the armory all available? all skill progression unlocked? like theres something wrong here.
>>560687554>Comparing F2P game charts to a $40 gameok retarddesu I don't know why people are so obsessed with these numbers.Did you care how many people were playing when Quake 3 released? When Halo Reach released? When Natural Selection 2 released?As long as the game is decently populated and gets frequent updates, why would it bother you at all.
>>560688580nothing makes me think trio players will pick it up. i am expecting the latter number to be zero
>>560687554Highguard sold zero copies
>>560688413People are dooming, they did not explicitly state you need a premade trio but frankly I wouldn't put that level of retardation beyond them
>>560688626Hopefully the Jason "Man Inside the Wire" Schrier can talk to some devs and find out.
>>560688743there must be an NDA or something because even the fuckin anon in these thread claimed to have done it wont even answer me last time i pressed about it
>>560688439>people running around the map seeking to kill everyone elseI haven't found a single game like this and I'm lvl 40, tf you're talking about
do you guys even like this game because you all seem pretty angry
>>560688572I posted proof when another anon 20 minutes ago demanded verification of the Bungie viewing anything that isn't Marathon being a top 5 GOTY seller as a failure and he proceeded to claim that the journalist who wrote the article was not valid, not feeding you again so we can repeat that.
>>560686335Hey. Tell me. Where is Marathon in that Chart? Why are you scared of Marathon? Post it faggot.
Team right next to us but assassin wants to start shooting bots and hitting exfil and then of course he gets fucking sniped and its just me trying to exfil against a thirsty ass team like shut the fuck up you retarded nigger you're an assassin
>Newest update still didn't fix retarded amd driver errorWelp, it's officially over for me bros. The refund window is closing in a few days and I still can't even launch the game. I guess I can at least follow the arg and lore still
>>560688476>except wow raids that consist of fighting other players dont existworld bosses/content is literally this
>>560688909I liked it and as such am angry that the developers are making it into something I do not like
>>560689013yeah thats like 5% of the content with raid finder doing the hardwork.even less work on pve only servers.something that also doesn't exist in this game.
>>560688909This site turned to shit somewhere along the way, people used to joke around, make funny posts, and actually discuss games. Don't know what happened.
>>560688909I liked it during the first week when it was fun and people were playing it like an extraction shooter, but now it's devolved into apex cringe which I did not sign up for.>oh people always do this and roam in tarkov looking to kill peopleshut the fuck up you idiots, Tarkov plays completely differently to this game.
>>560688223the cryo archive map was ready before they got any "telemetry", the entire game was made with the expectations it was going to be more popular and people that only play with friend were going to be enough to sustain it, before any "telemetry". They added solo mode as a bandaid fix after the april backlash and because arc raiders has it, but it's clearly an afterthought and proof they have no idea what kind of crowd extraction shooters attract or even how the majority of people play games.
>>560689149the game isn't really accessible to let people enjoy it enough to post fun memes about it. it's like an actual shit game at this point
>>560688912He is talking specifically about>Marathon barely broke Top 5 Weekly Global Best Sellers on it's own launch day>Veilguard sold better / got higher Weekly Global Best Seller on it's own launch day>Highguard got to number 1 Weekly Global Seller and stayed there for longer than MarathonWhere is your proof of this. I could go into https://store.steampowered.com/charts/topsellers/global and stitch together screenshots, but you are the one who made this claim and must back it up. Or will you slink away and pretend you never got called out?Show me the proof of how a free-to-play game made more money than Marathon.
>>560688909It's like two guys seething
What's the point of an ARG if can't be solved until some streamers fly out to Bungie?

you know they were too fuckin stupid to have fills vs fills only matchmaking
>>560688050Even worse is the fact that the game starts out by auto-giving you sponsored kits so you can immediately re-queue by spamming space. But then it stops, fuck you, re-grab your kit chuddy.
>>560688909barely 2 weeks in the game is already filled with movement spammers bhopping slide cancel shit, if you level up too much you're put against nolifers, the devs are refusing to make this game a proper extraction shooter and now the end game content has been confirmed to be premade trio only so fuck that.

Don't piss away money on something you can't use.>>560689462It's what happens when you get some nerds having to kowtow to the marketing Karens who clearly know the best way to suck off a man. Don't know much else, but boy are their mouths golden!>>560689532I don't know why he's talking about it being top 1 for longer then. Is he conflating Concurrent Players and Best Sellers? Is he a seething retard who can only get an erection by inconveniencing other people?
>>560689570It's not premade trio only it's just trio
>>560689436Is pretending to be retarded and disingenuous just the default for all you guys, I'm talking about it's position in the top sellers rankings. >a bloo bloo Highguard was F2PSo was Marathon during the server slam, and it had like a third of the player numbers. >no it doesn't count because... it doesn't!!!>apex legends (a game that has been on the decline for years now) also doesn't count in having a higher position on the chartMarathon is currently being beaten by indie games, meme games, and shit like Helldivers 2.
>>560688223>They know the data, they act in consequencedude even if they somehow only know find out the majority of people play solo only, (like it was predictable) it's too late to fix the game, they'd need to fire ziegler and go back to the drawing board and give us the cool customizable shells and a proper solo mode.

Is there any way to know what salvage a materialist item generates for you? Beyond autistically cataloging my entire salvage pile.
>>560689008Yea just refund the game man. You can always buy it again later on sale or some shit after some updates.
>>560688909I swore off exfil shooters forever because of EFT. They tried too hard to ape the drag yo ballsack through a marathon of sharp glass and I've basically just given up on priority to dick around with the randomized ones. It makes me nostalgic for that early period of EFT when I could just mainly be a loot gremlin on snoreline and loot to my heart's content with the occasional assrape by another solo. I've been enjoying autofills on parameter more frequently and it's always a good feeling to help people with the bullshit priority tasks. I would never touch bleak marsh or outpost though. I'm happy I got to experience this before it sinks since I don't have any other fps to get addicted to edxcept for tf2(and classified).
The only reason this game is a squad based hero shooter is because someone somewhere showed a graph that said that those kinds of games make more money and refused to listen to whoever knew it wasn't a good idea
>>560689575you fucking lying nigger he said no solos and no rooks

So they patched the game already. Impressive.

>>560690135>eventuallymf in science speak that's a timeline you need not worry aboutniggers worrying about 500000 years from now
>>560689789yeah because people that play solo will love to be forced to play with retarded randoms to experience the full game they paid after the devs said you could play it solo.

>>560690694steam's top sellers are based on income, f2p games get there by selling microtransactions
>>560690475The game wants you to have gear fear though. Right now the only point of going out and getting good items is so you can use them on Cryo. That's how they designed it.

>>560690882yes, 6 fucking reviewers from literally who sites
>>560690806The game wants you to bet your gear on the chance of massive loot takes, not "have gear fear."
>>560690604they havent even fucking played Cryo Archive yet, how the fuck would they know the game is good?wait...
>>560690874YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THIS IS JUST LIKE FORTNITE HOOOOOLYYYYY CLIP THAT CHAT
>>560690871are you retarded
>>560690769>>560690925That would make sense why Marathon was #75 on https://store.steampowered.com/charts/topsellers/global/2026-1-20 Well before it actually released. Got to buy them pre-orders.My bad. Probably need sleep.Still can't find Highguard unless it was somehow purged. Was it?
>>560691052Teach me how to bring my m77 on a rook run.
>>560691196ok you are retardeddid you know you dont have to play rook
>>560690806>>560691013this guys right, I'm glad I lost all interestbut it's actively trying to turn people into gamblers using this mindseteven sissy faggots going>its not your stuff>its just your turn with it>its not your money>its just your turn with it>its the casino's now >:)same with mentality>oh if I just play another match maybe I'll hit diamonds and be richexcept this game sucks and nobody wants to play it and nobody is getting hooked, people are like you and me where "gear fear" is a real thing, and turns out a lot of people don't want to play gambling simulator every 5-25 minutes
>>560690874>processingRookie mistake
>>560689867>I could play as this cutie on the left>Have special skills of my likingFUUUUUUUUUCK
>>560691269It's not your bussy and it'll soon belong to everyone else.
>>560691269>you will own nothing and you will be happyI hate that this is becoming more true yearly, surprised Marathon isn't a paid subscription service to play it
I uninstalled for now. Not installing again until there's a big update.
>>560691252Sometimes I want to play rook.And sometimes, independently, my vault is full because I do not lose often.Stop sweeping for this kusoge
>>560689858It's amazing how you physically feel the rightoid squirm as he retreats into his own make-believe world. Fascinating. They should study you.
>>560690806so use the mid-tier items in your vault, you don't need to hold onto 12 wstrs and 50 blue implants at once>but literally all my items are purples!then you clearly have no problem getting loot and you should just use iteither way there's no reason to have gear fear
>>560688664Retard, Steam top sellers measures revenue, if Highguard was in top 10 was because it was making good money, being F2P doesn'5 matter, it made more than Marathon did.
>>560691560>Do something retarded like forcing yourself to only play rook>AHHHHHH WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO ME??!?!?!You only have yourself to blame for being this retarded. Don't cry.
>>560690957>only the dedicated reviewers who are friendly with Bungie countmove those goalposts harder
>>560691519THE BIG UPDATE HAPPENED TODAYCRYO ARCHIVE IS RELEASEDwhen the devs get to the studio to flip the switch on...
>>560691613you might as well since it probably matchmakes you depending on whats in your fault. everyone runs a fuckin shotgun and blue/purple shield. thats the default now in those parts
>team stalking me>my objective is call down uesc commander and get his shit>call him down they kill him for me>invisible the item and exfil Heh..
>>560691643>>forcing yourself to only play rookGoalposts = movedconcession = accepted
>>560691573>the rightoidYou must be joking right now lmao, doing some sort of strawman satire. I'm about the furthest thing possible from a right winger.
>>560691824Anon = retard.Your concession has been accepted. ;)
>>560691269There’s ways too play this that make it better. I basically play it as a rougelite, start either free or 2.5k kits which are pretty much free and basically never fuck with my vault or inventory beyond ammo and meds, any weapon upgrades happen in round. Purples and up I throw in the vault for cryo, The less time I invest in my gear the less I care about losing any of it. None of this is in defense of the game though because now I’m just playing a roguelite BR and completely ignore the entire armory and kit customize systems. I have to actively fight what the games trying to get me to do to not have a bad time
>>560691639all these dudes will do the most insane mental backflips possible to cope for Marathon selling poorly.you can literally provide them sources (I did) and they'll just move the goalposts or say the sources don't count. that retard who was angry about steam charts didn't even understand how they worked or how F2P games on them are selling mtx.
i dont think i remember playin a multiplayer game so insistied upon itself to be so broken.
This is just exhausting.>dire march trio>communicating>one guy is sniped, one shot>i run, other dude tries to FUCKING revive him>other dude gets sniped, one shot>i do the rest of my quest>15 minutes later>guarded exfil>i activate it and run>extract in ten>smoke bomb>10 seconds left>5 seconds left>SNIPED>one shot>2 seconds left>SNIPED dead>in the fucking smoke, stealthed>it was the same guy that killed the other two>have to redo the whole fucking questWas it because he had a thermal scope?

>didnt get the cat emblem from slamwhy live
>>560692161the source, which you had an autistic meltdown about because you didn't think that F2P games counted, was steams own top sellers charts.
>>560692126I dont understand how everyone has snipers on dire marsh
>>560692030>you can literally provide them sources (I did)What source? What link? What screencapture did you provide other than your post >>560687554
>>560692126Yes dire marsh can be thermal scope hell

>>560692270You mean >>560690694Which provided source to show that the game you compared it to (Veilguard) did worse in staying higher in tha ranking than Marathon?
>shroud playing ready or notITS OVER
>>560692303its an unlock for the shop in the pvp tranny tree along with the shotgunexpect them every match at this point
>>560688909I kinda like it. I would love it if it had PvE mode/lobby.
>>560692524>Streamers complain enough about your game to be catered to them>they dont even care to figure out the endgame themselves>they move onto the next gameeverytime
>>560686487>even squad based games that require coordination like Mobas or R6siege are mainly played with "auto fill"and at least those games give your team all the same simple objective, here if you autofill you might get a random with a mission that requires the entire match to complete and that won't cooperate with the rest of the squad.
>>560690604India has a big population.
>>560692262cat emblem was from streams around launch
>>560692524I've been watching his streams and you can tell he's getting bored of Marathon
>>560692030When he can't provide an external link, or anyone's word other than his own, to prove his claims. He either shits himself, or he disappears.If there's one thing to be learnt from this is that when an asshole presents you an arguement, ask yourself why are you spending your time argueing with an asshole?
I just had a 6 minute queue time for Perimeter trio fill. This game is so fucking over lmfao.
>>560689149>dont know what happenedmoot sold the site to epsteinhiro is epstein's buddies sock puppetmultiple glowietards running opsflooding this site with mental rejects was apparently part of the planI wish i was kidding.
>>560692779his contract expired
>>560693085no one's queuing for perimeter because everyone is fighting in the trenches under processing for the drone access key
destinyfags, how is rank gonna work?
>>560693186ah, explains why I was having a particularly AIDS time attempting that SekGen contract
>>560692524It's literally a #ad.
>>560692690I genuinely don't get how AAA studios still don't know that gamers are loners
>>560692785>>560692670Ready or Not now that is a game with good gunplay.
>>560693289wow these ready or not guys seem desperate to get anyone to play their slop! EOS soon!
>>560693223It's not, no-one's going to play that shitcasuls don't care about rank and sweats just want to stomp casuls
Bungie confirms “Marathon are were once they are to be the did. It marks the number H for the nearest 3 years.“This becomes the first episode to be there once within the records once they are absolutely record breaking congratulations to Bungie & Marathon team!
>>560693282Yeah don't bother with Processing at all right now, it's hell.
so ranked, the shit you find doesn't even get saved and its just a wagie system for loot you ante up?
>>560689867The best damage control they can do is allow PvE solo/trio lobbies. Thats short-term, something that they can make in 1-3 days. After that - yeah, what you said.
>>560693603that would just kill the game
>>560693697this. even parameter has premade squads with blue shields. absolute insanity even at level 13
[code]i'm looking for one of the marketing videos for marathon that came out around the original playtest, Joe Ziegler specifically mentions that the 4th map is going to be some "insane meta ground breaking experience". im paraphrasing but i want to find the exact quote to compare what the actual map is going to be and I cant find the fucking video. Maybe it got deleted with some of the videos during the plagiarism controversy. Anyone archiv[sjis][/sjis]e any of their original marketing videos?[/code]
>>560693443Me trying to read this
>>560692785>drop into game with 3 stack with purple and gold gear>squad wipe everyone and then do pveliterally nothing else for him until the nerds get cryo unlocked
Okay this ARG shit is starting to piss me off a little bit.
>plz FOMO our cosmeticsbig studios and companies just cant resist. its pathetic and leaves a bit of a bitter taste behind
>>560693718the game is already dying dude, a pve mode would certainly boost the numbers. A LOT of people are into the world building but refuse to play simply because it's a pvp extraction shooter, and now that they locked end game for solo players they'll start losing even a lot of people that were ok with it being pvp, damage control is required or this game might genuinely not last for next season.
>>560694058he could do solos like everyone else
How do I consistently get purple shields? Seems almost impossible to get until the nucaloric upgrade
MARATHON RANKED MODE DETAILS- Launches in 4 days - 6 Ranks: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Pinnacle (each has with 3 subdivisions) - Weekly rotating zones- Buy a Holotag, meet the gear ante, and enter a Ranked zone- Exfil with valuable loot to hit your score target- Platinum+ unlocks high-stakes zones- Codex rewards, loot, and exclusive cosmetics- Miss score target while exfil = no progress- Fail to exfil = lose progress
>>560694097this is so fucking ugly, I thought they would avoid doing this after seeing they made the store and battle pass button small and unintrusive, they didn't even last a week, it was literally just to look good at launch, immediately dropped the mask.
I honestly don't understand people being upset about Cryo requiring a crew. This isn't a solo game. The solo queue only exists because unlikeable faggots cried for one.
>>560694227you don't consistently get anything until you unlock it in the store
apparently we're on the next ARG step cryo might be close but I think it's still going to be artifically gated until the weekend
>>560694097I know we're not supposed to talk about them, but I'm glad *** ******* hasn't done this, I'm guessing they will eventually, or just make a better storefront to organize everything
>>560694227you were supposed to poopsock the first week and have it unlocked in the store to buy
>>560694381i'm spamming rook on cryo and i'm going to wipe every squad off that ship. clays at every door and me in every vent
>>560694381Yes because a team only extraction shooter was and is a terrible idea, and they still managed to make the solo mode miserable despite the feedback. They sold a lot of copies thankd to the promise of this game having a solo mode, it was even a marketing point, and now that they got the money they're spitting in the face of the consumers.
>>560694523Rook is not allowed on Cryo.
>>560694445the what? the finals?
>>560692126>Dire marshNever again. Outpost and perimeter only.
>>560694619arc raidersno idea about the finals store but seemed like they had a lot to choose from
>>560694445every time I play that game it's full of people with paid skins, they definitely don't need to taint their reputation with those kinds of things yet. Bungie on the other hand...
>>560690323don't worry as soon as you load into a match with the gear you like you'll get assraped by a 3 stack of a single hivemind consciousness that plays perfectly to wipe your whole squad instantly off spawnanything I take out of a run with me that actually looks good I just sell at this pointI keep my vault stocked with nothing but blue and green bullies and wstrs
>>560694381>This isn't a solo game. The solo queue only exists because unlikeable faggots cried for one.The same people who complain constantly in this thread about "no PvE"
I don't know how to feel about the WSTR changes. I didn't get to test it on any runnres, only UESC and the fallout past 4m is just bewildering. In the same vein I tried to delete some of these cloaked niggas in the same range and it must've deleted them so hard it didn't even register as kills and caused them to ascend instantaneously.
>>560694381I'd they didn't want solo players to complain they shouldn't have added a solo mode, but the game would have tanked even harder if they did
>>560694381still not playing trios, enjoy your dead game and make sure to tip bungie on the way out
>>560694974>In the same vein I tried to delete some of these cloaked niggas in the same rangeUsed the ares railgun I mean, I can't tell if this gun is good or not still
>>560694652this is me except all my fucking contracts are there
Dire marsh and perimeter are boring, so the game only has one map. outpost is actually fun, and feels good to play. I really like that map.Outpost Rook runs are the best rook runs.Unlocking pinwheel and the 4 teams is the perfect team count and dynamic. I'm just not feeling hyped about Cryo, they want to turn this into destiny (never played), wow-raid type of game and those I dislike. Dropped MonHun over that.
low defenses and making all the weapons handle immaculately was quite the decision.
Make sure to stock up on as many thermal scopes as possible for the night marsh drop.
I have a low iq and am very slow, was in a car accident 2 years ago and got permanant brain damage. is this game ok to play solo and casually? i just like running around and exploring
Getting downed and forced to blow the enemy squad
If Marathon cant even brag about having 1 million copies sold or at least players by now, then this game is fucked and Sony will have Bungie abandon it.
I feel like 3 stacking invalidates 99% of this game
>>560694445ah, the finals is from embark too and pretty sure they have a ton of temporary cosmetics.anyway I adore the game, its probably the best shooter of the past 5 years, so I am glad arc raiders is doing so well for them.
>>560695491Recons mouth is hotter, plus her face flaps can latch onto your waist.
>streamer immediately knew trios only was a bad idea>guy delivering the news obviously knew it was a bad idea>entire chat starts spamming Ls>ridiculously positive reddit community is downvoting people saying it's trios only, literally in denialjust lol
>>560695637>Pinches your ballsackheh, nothing personal.
>>560695431yeah
As we're getting closer and closer to seeing the doors open for the Cryo Deck of the Marathon Ship, please be advised when it does open: surviving will be a challenge for even the most prepared of crews. (Everyone will have something new to learn). But we believe for those of you who are brave enough, it'll be a journey that you'll remember. TL;DR: Cryo Deck is a Pinnacle Challenge in more ways than one.
>>560695637I hadn't considered the sexual possibilities of the. I will keep this in mind
>>560695526when do you think they will shut it down?
>>560695526they'll probably won't abandon it right away but it'll be moved to a smaller "marathon team" and they'll force them to monetize the game as much as possibile while giving as little new content as possible
>>560694097I'm an old man. In all my years of gaming I've never once paid for cosmetic bullshit. Probably the same idiots who pay for OF too. Literally who cares what skins you have, if anything in a game I target the P2W skins more then the regular ones...something extremely satisfying winning a round with the basic skins.
Reddit is so funny. Definition of toxic positivity.
Is that a Deimosite Rod in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?
>>560695729i've got my cardio kicks ready>>560695961>i haven't grabbed the battlepass because I want to see the steam charts trend at least slightly upwards first so i'll actually have something to play later on>
>>560695831When Bungie dies. They're just going to slowly move resources away from it because it wasn't the success the studio really needed at this time.>>560695431In theory you'd hope so, but unfortunately no. There's plenty of story elements but the game forces all players into PvP regardless of skill level, so there's no point in buying the game if you're a casual because you won't have a fun time.
>>560695656yeah that stream and the way tha guy answered the question was so funny, Bungie is full of retards
>>560695526games a flop but i dont think sony will ever shut this game down. they have too much invested into bungie.
>>560693718Game being PvPfag heaven is already doing that. Atleast with PvE mode, even if they pull the plug on game, it will be playable. Unlike BF2142.
>>560696149i meant like a date
>>560696136that plastic ass...
>>560696148why the fuck would you spend money on a battlepass, ever, this one in particular is shit too
>>560696136>>560696305i want to hump her plastic ass
>>560696242it would just split the playerbase, as someone who plays this game i would just drop it if they added that
I like how you guys conveniently forget that Sony owns bungie. Sure, bungie has some independence but at the end of the day, Sony's word is law.
>>560696136>ST>IR>RU>PS
>>560696329i like the skinsi would like them more if they were Martini Racing themed. Charter's whole outfit looks like rally car branding and I can't get Martini skins out of my head ever since i noticed it
ok the cryo skiins are pretty sick i love thiefs
>>560694242This is a great setup. That gun skin looks sick too. Seems to have a subtle glow effect. Skins like that being earned through skill is how it should be. I hope they don't start selling skins like that in the store, otherwise it'll turn into Valorant where everyone and their mom has some wacky gun skin.
I love sneaking and ambushing in solos. I've been tossing recon's drone into the room I think they're in before dashing in and tracking where it goes. But the little shit gets confused by desks and boxes so I'm looking for an alternate shell with a good ambush opener or followup. Destroyer, maybe? I can imagine all sorts of meme plays with the shield and mobility.
>>560696517just go thief and throw your drone in first to find where they are
They need actually tough uesc like Tarkov snipers
>>560696329I bought the Deluxe Edition, which ended up giving me THREE battle pass vouchers. I've heard reports of this happening to some people where they got duplicate vouchers.
>>560695431>is this game ok to play solo and casually?No and definitely no. The whole thread is about how Bungie fucked solo players over, the solo experience is torture both with auto fill and in solo queue. The game is not casual at all, you have to spend sla significant amount of time grinding and you have to keep playing even just to keep stuff like a bigger stamina bar because they reset your progress every season, also the game is already plagued by apex players that exploit the movement, jump around everywhere and flick shoot everything, the matchmaking is awfuk and you will be out against fags that play ultra competitively.
>>560696517the little spiderbot is so frustratingly useless, so many times I've thrown it right at someone and it immediately just runs past them or goes in the exact opposite direction
>>560696240they can shut down the game, fire everyone at Bungie except the names they want to keep and force them to make a game they want. It'll be a loss but at this point I doubt marathon will ever break even anyway, let alone the bungie acquisition.
Destiny dads, it's just this easyhttps://youtu.be/_7uhSXNUfKI?si=opmpmk60POl8apzM
>>560696240This desu: >>560696836Sony has the capital to afford a loss like this. If Marathon is losing them money (i.e. the cost for employees and other overheads exceed the revenue being generated from in-game transactions) they will not hesitate to kill the game, fire a bunch of staff except the ones they want to keep, and get them to work on a new project.
I guess it’s cool that they came up with all this hardcore stuff for dedicated players to do. Cryo Archive will be cool I’m sure. But it’s just a bummer because I know I’m never gonna make it there. I don’t have the time or the ability to grind out this game and reach the highest level. Good for you if you’re that hardcore though. I’m sure it will be fun.
>>560696649the physical vouchers you get in your inventory is a bug and won't count as an actual voucher for the battle pass, you still only have 1, you can sell the inventory item it's just wasting space
>>560696425What are they gonna do, add astrobots and fgo servants
>>560697098this has to be a reddit post
>>560696240Your brain is a flop. Sony makes 8 billion dollars a year. They've invested fuckall in this game. What they spent money on was acquiring Bungie, a company that will be churning out stuff for them for decades. You need to start seeming less dumb, but that's not gonna happen.
https://x.com/i/status/2033952070727045139>game journos being better on solo than /mg/LOL
>>560697189were still doing the "after playin for x hours..." bullshit huh
>>560697140You can probably copy and paste in google to check. But it’s not. It’s my real feelings.
>>560697268>hyper-pessimistic pve playeryou fit right in on /mg/
>>560697189>>560697267I hate the newest phrase of "I'm begging you to ... !"Fucking shut up.
>>560697115lol, no. Do not listen tot his retard. The vouchers work.
>>560697174Sony explicitly was warning Bungie last year that if Marathon underperforms they're contractually going to be able to come in and essentially completely takeover the studio. Liquidate the top brass, shuffle people around to other studios, the whole nine yards.This is also why Bungie was considering anything other than a top 5 yearly seller for Marathon a failure. This isn't a situation where they can wiggle out of it, the axe is now in the process of falling. Marathon will likely remain on life support following a desperate rework to add PVE elements to the game (expect a sudden announcement for this in season 1), there will be another round of mass layoffs, personnel will be shuffled off to other Sony studios, and the remaining talent will be forced to slave away in the mines on that unannounced Sony exclusive title.
>>560696836cope
>>560697347No I like the pvp. This is a pvp game. I’m just not good enough at it to zoom around on Outpost like the best players.
>>560697174even if marathon's budget is spare change for sony (it isn't) it can still be a flop and if it doesn't make money they will shut it down. They bought Bungie because they wanted the expertise in making live service games, if they don't get what they paid for they will sell them or gut them and move the important devs to other studios.
>>560697174>Bungie, a company that will be churning out stuff for them for decadesHAHAHAAHAHAAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAH
>>560697189nice article to come out immediately before solo players get collectively gaped
>>560697647you'd be surprised how retarded gamers get whenever a new halo is announced
>prioritized a bunch of materials I needed over ammo while looting bodies>realizing I now have to exfil with one magazine of ammo in my bully SMG and nothing else I got out fine but that was stressful
>One more step left for the ARGWe're getting Cryo Archive tonight boys.
>/mg/ anons endlessly speculating about Marathon’s failure and the imminent closure of bungieWhat a refreshing change of pace! You guys definitely don’t spend hours doing this every single day.
>>560697189jurnos finding out now that extraction shooters are better played solo, and recommending it while Bungie reveals a trio only map.
>>560697686>surely THIS time 343 will make a good halo
>>560697473It's a hardcore extraction shooter. It's 2026, you dumb old faggot. No one is going to replace Fortnite, and the only think you can hope to do is gain a loyal following of hardcore consumers, not try to capture retards from forever retard games like Fortnite. The market in 2026 is not the market from 2004. There is no global phenom game with artistic integrity and hardcore gameplay. Sony won massively by getting Bungie. They already create the best consoles and produce the finest media of any corporation. Sony won. For retards like you, it's over. You're ancient. You think like a fat old chud. The future is now, fat faggot.
>>560697741nice i did shit all like every ARG
>>560697592The only thing they shut down was concord since it literally had sub one thousand players which was an anomaly in of itself
are people really trying to claim Marathon isn't a flop? it objectively undersold, they aren't even able to announce player number milestones like other studios. it got beat on the top steam sellers by indie games, 5 year old F2P titles like Apex, and so on. the cope about some huge console base also got debunked to the point that even a Bungie slave like Paul Tassi was saying steam is the largest playerbase.
So when does this game get sweaty?
>>560697541You don't have to zoom around. If you can exfil consistently with an inventory worth >=3k, you're doing well.
>>560695120>rook player talking about what maps are boringyea because you walk into matches with barely anybody left
>>560697856it's not a huge success but it's not a flop either
>>560697537yeah the most reasonable outcome is just that Sony will shut everything down, but there is a small possibility that maybe this game remains imon life support at least for a while
>>560697856I don’t think it matters what people are trying to “claim.” Twitter and reddit are not important. Probably not worth your attention honestly.
>>560697796>it's a hardcore extraction shooterActually it's a confused battle royale/hero shooter hybrid with a light extraction element. Nobody past week one is playing it like Tarkov.>[insane cope here about Sony]oh okay, you're trolling.
>purple shields are common nowHow. Where the fuck are people getting these things.
GOOK Frame...
>>560698006It's a shame, we need more oppressive and deadly uesc The fact they have a detection radius of 50 yards and pitifully weak guns doesn't help
>>560697884You are the sweat. Grats.
>>560698008No they aren't and I pack emp nades so why should I care
>>560697956>250 million dollar development budget>max playercount on launch day: 80kanon, I don't know how to tell you this but so far it looks to have been a net loss.>>560697995>don't believe your lying eyesit's not being "claimed" the steam charts and numbers on consoles are objective facts, you can go and see them yourself.
>>560698147I faced purples every single game on Dire Marsh last night trying to quest. TF you mean no they aren't.
>have to kill 200 million more UESC to unlock cryotime to start farming boys, no more PVP
>>560698147>>560698246>>560698008out of curiosity, what level are you on the season pass?
>>560698171Yeah but who cares? Why would I be monitoring the steam charts? I’m confused about how that’s supposed to be interesting.
>>560696418>it will split playerbaseSo what? PvP is still there. Bored of PvE? Do PvP. Bored or tired of that? Do PvE. Its like you thinks its all just either one or the other, no overlap.
>>560698246What's your level and vault value
>>560697956Yeah but Bungie can't afford anything that wasn't at least a big success, not huge but at least big, and marathon isn't one. The problems is with the industry as a whole that like Hollywood is getting to a point where every new project needs to be the next blockbuster, but also Bungie Is filled with absolute idiots that genuinely thought this game was going to be mainstream.
>>560698258crouch-walking behind you as we speak
we have to kill 200 million bots for the ARG not memeing
how do I get better at this game I need to do better in fights to get some gear
>>560698246lmao I haven't even seen a blue shield yet.
>>560698371>the game is an abject failure and bungie is ruined, sony is going to eat bungie and scatter its entrails to other studios and slkajdfdsafjsthe game is not the runaway success bungie wanted but it's not a total flop, it's absolutely salvageable. they'll exfil us all up and out of steam chart posting hell.
>>560698329they already have both in one game mode!
>>560698316>it doesn't matter what people are trying to "claim">no actually these are just objective facts everyone can see >who caresok
>>560698371No it isn't, they just absolutely slow the fucking release schedule. Bioware is still alive, Bethesda is still alive, Kojimbo 's lame studio is still alive, there's little point to killing studios that cater primarily to consolefags since they have no other options
All this discourse about sales figures and player population is just going in circles now. Every time I enter this thread it’s the exact same posts. It’s 4chan on autopilot.
>>560697174Bungie is not going to be making stuff for Sony for decades. Sony flat out pointed out that they have a $204 million dollar impairment charge against Sony, and it flat out brought DOWN their profits for their Games and Network Services segment. The studio very much has a guillotine hanging over their heads right now.
>>560698461Lfg?
>>560698461There was this guy I matched with who said he plays CS 1.6 aim maps so try that
>>560698547It's salvageable, if they weren't idiots, them announcing cryo archive as trio only and already trying to push skins on the menu screen doesn't give me any hope.
>>560698654It's terminally butthurt destiny fans mainly
>>560698547>its not a total flopat some point you are going to have to acknowledge one of the posts pointing out that Marathons development cost was a quarter of a billion dollars, look at the 80k peak on the most played platform, and wake up and smell the fire.
>>560698246They drop reliably from bosses and locked rooms.
>>560698654Burned Destiny losers whining about their casual carebare game getting left in the dust. Destiny is gay happy time relaxing WONDER game! Wonder happy discovery pal time! Happy daddy relax! Big whopper fart man beer gut alcoholic sissy hand holder!
>>560698623I mean, you can do what you want obviously. But this shit is literally not interesting. You’re posting about twitter discourse and sales graphs like the rest of us are supposed to care about it and I truly don’t know why.
>>560697751Shut the fuck up Bungie shillgo back to youknowwhere
>>560698713people are allowed to be worried that the game they paid 40 dollars for will either be shut down or turned into MTX whale hell within a year.
>>560698663>Destiny is a gay piece of shit game that costs too much money to runYeah we already know, retard. Bye bye Destiny.
What nefarious things do you think that Bungie and other game companies do behind the scenes for these loot games?My theory is that they have the loot RESPAWN when players are not in the room or when the loot boxes are out of eyesight. I think PUBG does this as well. Also this game is a grind and I’ve been playing a few hours now. I assume that things will improve once a new alien race is introduced. This is clearly going to become a destiny style live service game with extra content/levels you’ll need to pay extra to get.
>>560698461spam free kits. if you get knocked with equipment/healing consumables unused in your inventory or abilities off cooldown then you didn't use enough of your resources. you really do have to use your brain. whenever you die, sit and think about what options you had that might've helped give you an advantage. should you have used that smoke on yourself? did your teammates need it thrown at them to provide cover for healing or movement? why didn't you drop the shutters on the building you're in? etc. you just need to play and think a little bit and you'll improve naturally. keep a journal and write down whatever seems important if getting good sounds like fun to you.
>>560698907When has a game with these player numbers ever shutdown in such a short timespan
>>560698713>>560698814I don’t really care who’s doing it. The idiots arguing against them are just as annoying. This whole general is dedicated to a faggy little slapfight about sales figures. And it’s my duty to pop in once a day and call you all losers.

>>560697836>The only thing they shut down was concordThey shut down almost every single GaaS project after concord. They had like 3 or 5 in development at the time.Only that meme game in robot dinosaur universe survived. I don't even remember the name of that piece of shit. Back to wilds or something.
>>560698590One gets in the way of another. They need to be split. In due time, they can rework the whole PvPvE equation to actually have proper vE (roaming UESC patrols, bounty-hunters, getting spotted by a flying UESC drone gets active hostile purtsuit on you, actually conflicting tasks). Right now it is very one-sided, where PvP is the only priority, and vE is the reward for wiping out the lobby.
>>560698907you're retarded
>>560697751cope
>>560699073wow what a brilliant rebuttal, if this is the level you shill are operating at now after days of buckbreaking I am not impressed
ETA 6 1/2 days for the ARG, we have to kill a bunch of robots
>>560698735you need a different hobby, flat out. it's embarrassing. go read your gaming "news" articles and stop posting.
>>560699156yes retard, marathon will only last 1 year. its dead jim, live service games with a fraction of that are still running for years and putting out new updates but this one is gonna die right NOW lets doom about it in every thread
>>56069831035
>>560699235Those games didn't cose $1billion to make
the TRUTHWORM.exe codex entry contains this image
>>560699073Its very reasonable that a player will be scared that the $40 they spent on a multiplayer-only game goes down the drain desu. That's also why people aren't jumping ship to Marathon, a lot people have left in an extremely short period of time and people aren't willing to be the guinea pig of the group.
>>560699301>1 billionholy fuck what did you smoke before you started posting
>actually chud spending a quarter of a billion to develop a game that has less average players and retention than one of the shitty Destiny 2 seasons from the end of its life is fine, it's brilliant! everything will be FINE!
>>560699375weed
>>560699337its underperforming but it straight up isn't dead, you guys do this with every game. steamchart watchers are a weird bunchyou keep repeating 40$ like its a lot for games today when most AAA games are 70 now, 3rd worldie?
the final resort of the shill who is out of options: claiming that if you don't like or buy the game you're brown
>>560699065Those weren't even released retard
>>560699627dude it costed FORTY DOLLARSthat is fucking crazy saar
bro Bungie fuck off and stop spamming me with these shit emails
>>560698637>Biowarestudio went from 800 employees too less than 100 after veilguad, probably made only by interns working on whatever EA needs them to do. >Bethesdamedium studio with big money making IPs and also a publisher, still not in great waters after starfield but they can survive and fallout keeps getting boosts thanks to the TV series.>Kojima productionsa 200 devs studio that is releasing best selling award winning single player games.>Bungie 800 devs, studio kept alive by Sony with the promise of making a successful live service game despite destiny's recent failures.
>>560699472Just say 250 Million. Saying a quarter of a billion doesn't make it sound crazy. It just makes you sound desperate to frame it in a sensationalized way. 250M is middle of the road for a AAA budget. The upper end is 300M for a AAA game budget. GTA is in a league of it's own with a billion dollar budget.
>>560698980LOL KEEP A JOURNAL.JOT DOWN NOTES WHILE YOU PONDER YOUR LOSS.STROKE YOUR CHIN THOUGHTFULLY.MUSE OVER THE RANDOMNESS OF LIFE AND THE MEANINGLESSNESS OF YOUR ACTIONS.
>>560699773nta but you are a mental midget
>>560699627Well 40 dollars isn't enough to cover your Benoquin costs regardless
>>560699740>Death Stranding 2>Best selling Lol
>>560699740>studio went from 800 employees too less than 100 after veilguadJesus I didn't realize it was that bad, they just keep the studio alive for the name at this point
>>560699903https://x.com/i/status/2033929729200246970
can u believe that they charge $40 for this game saars? This is whole MONTH wage here in Hyderabaad fucking mother bitch Bungie
>keep getting all this free daily stuff from Factions in the Armory>pick it all up, still choose to freekiti might actually be jewish, i literally almost never go in with any of the stuff i get
Oh they actually made the anamlous event good
>>560699718it's the next step of the ARG, we have to kill 200 million botshttps://cryoarchive.systems/control
>>560700080Oh wow
>>560700075Freekitting is fun but I wish it put you in a poverty bracket
>>560699895lol I don’t have time to write crap down in my dream journal about the game MARATHON you weirdo.
>>560699963still, they're not owned by anyone, Sony is just publishing , and kojima has infinite money for whatever project he wants, they're not at all comparable to Bungie
>>560700075Resource management is a skill goyim would be wise to learn.
I've never seen shills for a game get more viciously mindbroken lmao
>>560700097They just let people upload shit to their server? That sounds safe.
>>560699740>studio went from 800 employees too less than 100 after veilguad, probably made only by interns working on whatever EA needs them to do.this is what's going to happen to Bungie
I wish the post game screen would show more than how much damage the opponent did to me. like what weapons they used and headshots or body shots.
>>560700223I’m sure it’s a different server than what they use to run the game.
>>560700080Huh, is this why I suddenly had a random ballistic turbine in my vault that I never extracted out? I wondered where it came from
>Bungie expecting a bunch of 80IQ Gun and Ball gamer zoomtards to figure out their gay ARGslop in any reasonable time without them handholding and leaking solutions constantly for them.Just unlock it already lmao, the hype is dead already.
Can someone explain the psychology of a general as raped as /dg/ acting high and mighty?
>>560700223I don't even know what you mean, just shut up techlet
>>560700401Click the box, retard.
>load into Outpost and literally start running in a straight line to my objective with boosted Destroyer run>run right into a Vandal crossing my path, stand still and look at them as they jump back startled, they spray and pray at me and i get downed while still standing there>Vandal on mic, "s-sorry dude you scared me"lole that was a funny encounter
>>560700363Would seem that way.
>>560700385/dg/ is currently winning
>>560700465no shit faggot I've been doing it all week, there's nothing unusual or unsafe about it
>>560700075Mia's sponsored kit always, the moment I gear up I die to the first encounter
>>560700483I do the jump of friendliness whenever Im solo so people see me and then see that im retarded so it wouldnt be nice to kill me and they let me live usually. Had a nice 4 person exfil with 2 rooks and a thief doing that
>>560700535you should upload a notepad doc with your social security number, street address, and phone number
>>560700223i uploaded a random reaction image because i didnt know what it would do. hope somebody enjoyed it
>>560700483I once killed a vandal while there was another player with assassin near us, she crawled to me to allow me to knife her while I was healing up, it was nice

>>560699645>sony bought bungie in part as consultants for GaaS>sony funded development of said GaaS >sony shuts down concord>sony shuts down other games that are still in development >money wasted on bungie because their value as consultants is gone>money wasted on games that never released>b-but it does not count because games were not releasedok
>>560700637BETTER YET WRITE IT DOWN IN YOUR MARATHON JOURNAL YOU WEIRDO.
>Shroud QuitYeah its over, out last champion had abandoned us.
>profile backgrounds and emblems are basically not a thing, you never even see your own or other players unless you go into the customization menu>skins are barely visible, there is not even a Destiny style spinny viewer in the inventory where you can see your characterit's genuinely like Bungie is trying to suicide. they'll add a MTX store... where you never see the skins you buy outside of your arms. profile customization... that you never see.
>>560700969This shits an alpha build lol
>>560700857Yes, and shutting down a service people are actively using kills even more goodwill. Why the hell is Destiny 1 servers still up then?
>>560700857They’re still gonna milk 5 years out of this game before doing the sequel. Sony needs as marquee game like this to succeed and endure to justify buying Bungie.
>>560700857You actually think Sony lost money on those failed projects? lol.
>>560700969everything makes sense if you take out the extraction shooter part and think of it like its cod with respawns
>>560701306they can't force a success, even if they keep it alive, and shareholders will start asking questions as to why they'll keep a game alive that's losing them money
>Been killed twice by a niggersin named PvE on perimeter and outpostenjoy your free kit, faggot.
There's no way bungo are hiding other aliens you can fight on Cryo Archive right? That would have leaked already.
>>560701418yeah they monetized this game like a normal shooter but then made it an extraction where this type of monetization makes no sense, especially the profile stuff, I really wonder what came in their mind
>>560701589They definitely are.
I unironically feel like shit knowing I'm not going to be able to play Cryo Archive. I'm a lore autist, yeah, a sucker and dupe I know. I've mostly been playing due to liking the atmosphere and trying to exfil collectibles for codex entries.There's zero way I'm going to be able to do Cryo even assuming it has trio matchmaking, I've played enough to know that we'll just get stomped by premades there even more than a shithole like Dire Marsh. I really, really hope they reconsider and make at least some tweaks to allow solos in,
>>560701469It's cheaper to axe developing projects than released ones retard, especially ones that aren't f2p
Lh'owon tongues my anus.
>>560701589they already leaked the compiler so I doubt there's other stuff, might be in future seasons if the game survives
>>560701253>year 2026 of our lord>corporations giving a fuck about "good will"my sides left the observable universe and explore uncharted space at the moment.Remember how they decided no to close the studio that made successful and highly acclaimed Demon Souls remake because it would hurt people's good will? Oh wait. They failed to make yet another GaaS for sony and were shut down. Oops.>>560701306If they manage to keep it afloat and decide to be satisfied with laughable revenue from 20k of die hard fans.>>560701395>invest in a thing>thing never happens>money goneShit you're right they didn't lose any money because uhhhhhhh... because why exactly?
>>560701691>Like a normal shooter Marathon only has skins and no paid battlepass or content tho
>>560700080Is it for everyone or just the one who extracts?
>>560701589ENTER
>>560701809>because why exactly?It's called a tax write off.
>>560701884I'm curious how they're gonna justify the stave retards who go down in two shots of the magnum being op as fuck
>>560701589If they have they haven't released them yet but ask yourself why the fuck would their only be compilers on the marathon
they really made a literal snowbunny skin
>>560701878no idea
>>560701809Bluepoint was shit and remakes are garbage
>>560701972>>560701589You guys obviously haven't been exfiling with those purple biopsy salvage mats that reveal codices about alien autopsies.
>>560701749they can just cut everything and keep the servers there in a semi stable state, like Titanfall2 . Automatic resets every 3 months, no new content.
>>560702053GOD SHE'S SO SEXOOOOO
>>560701850it has a battlepass though throughbeit
>>560702053does it hurt waking up every day and being indian?
i only go in naked with a knife and save the loadouts for trios. fuck losing some shit because some dude was hiding in a corner for 10 minutes. if i lose it fair because we suck as a team, fine. but fuck losing it to a rat.
>>560702184Jerk off.
>>560702158Yeah and I'm fine with that
>>560702192Yes but it isn't paid retard
>>560701850are you retarded?
>>560702249semantics but you're wrong. i accept your concession
>>560702261Are you? The marathon battlepass is free, retard. The only thing you can pay for is some random skins
>bungie made a game for the psychos that want to slide tackle themselves into the exfil at the last second and sneak loot as rooks>they didn't make a game for normies to "play" while they melt their brains with netflix on a second screen, reddit on another tab, minimized porn, and a podcast playing in their headphones
>>560702351you are retarded
>>560702460Why would they just make Destiny 2 2
>>560702227That's what's more realistically going to happen, game on life support, skeleton crew maintaining it, the moment the servers get a DDoS or crash don't expect Sony to ever fix them though, just like it happened with titanfall that is basically being kept alive by a single intern smashing his fist against the server. Fortunately there are community ones.
Sound design on this game is epic by the way. It’s almost like info intro a trance when bad robots are nearby and I keep running and don’t even look at em.
Cryo skins
>get matched with 2 pvp assassinfags who go invis, run past a bunch of bots in command wing and leave me to 1v5 them
>>560702795I hate the random squiggly tubes
>>560702982They're not random... it's obviously related to thermal regulation.
>>560702795YESSSS TUUUUBES
>>560702982you mean the colostomy bags?
>>560703049I don't care, they look ugly, especially recon, it reminds me of that concord character that had tubes on her belly that looked like intestines. Doesn't matter, it's not like I'm ever going to unlock any of them anyway.
>>560702883
Destroyer
>>560702795Where is Destroyer?
>>560703189Contextually it makes sense. The Cryo map has a real frost mechanic that forces people not to camp, and the skins are optional, so idk why you'd care.
>>560702890lol just report them for griefing. bungie said this was a TEAM game.
>>560702795>mask covering up Vandal's lips
I've been enjoying the game but it's clearly like half finished right? 3 maps seems criminal at release, not to mention the rank mode they're about to release and then the 4th map that is coming shortly. Are game studios that eager to just throw shit out unfinished now? Don't answer that.
Boy this is fuckin annoying, 6 runs in a row tonight it's just spawning NPCs on top of my crew, and having them sprint directly at us without being alerted. Then when I deal with that, one other crew shows up, then another if we kill the first crew. Never two to fight each other.
When will Bungie learn that no one will care about pve when a rando with a wstr or longshot is still more dangerous and has better loot than 99% of anything else you counter?
God I love thief
>>560702795>Intestinal color pattern.They did this in Concord and people fucking hated it. Nobody wants a skin that looks like your guts are hanging out. Is Bungie really this retarded?They really fucked themselves with their art style. At least it seems like it creatively. Every skin they drop looks like shit and barely changes anything. Just glorified recolors.
So only streamers are allowed to complete the puzzle? https://x.com/Cozmo23/status/2033990944002052099
>>560703613I like the CyAc and Shadow skins
>>560703524They did the wstr nerf so dirty. I sold off mine after a few raids agains UESC since I never encountered any other runners other than my group. You have to practically be hugging them and french kissing them passionely to make it OHKO, and good luck getting that close anyway. I'll just stick to lmgs repeaters and bullies instead.
this arg shit is garbage release the map dont bother with this shit especially with fucking streamers
>he didn't fuck my throat before killing me
>>560703613If youre intestines are yellow or blue you should probably go to the doctor
Extracting with Anomalous Matter on Dire Marsh can reward gold mats now!So far ive got this + 2 hazard capsules. Not every run rewards golds. 3/4 have so far for me
>>560703820It's not the color. It's the pattern specificly highlighting an part that looks like intestines. It's a bad idea. Besides these are robots with blue "blood" inside them you fucking nigger. Blue intestines spilling out would 100% make sense.
You guys need to kill 200 million bots to open up Cryo. Have fun doing PVE retards.
>>560703925thanks for reposting tyraxes tweet here pretending to be your own.
>>560703982Ok retard
>>560703982>You guysuhm no
EVERYONE WE NEED TO KILL UESC BOTSThe next step is to kill a total of 500m UESC bots. (We already killed 300m so only 200m to go)Let’s get this done!
>>560704113EVERYONE LOCK THE FUCK IN
>>560703973Eh, it reminds me of the death stranding stuff but I do think it's more silly here in this case.
The Volt Sniper is actually kind of decent.

>>560694381This. Solos is for people who don’t stream but still say “chat did you see that” outloud while playing to no one. It’s for people that watch their favourite YouTuber while eating grilled chicken and broccoli thinking “Yeah I can do that”. It’s for men who don’t want to talk to anyone because they watched Naruto for 7 months straight. It’s for brainless who don’t want to understand game design squad shooter principles and will cry about it in BR and extraction games but it’s fine in hero shooters (which marathon is).
>>560704492>BAN ALL THE DOOMPOSTING STEAM CHART FAGGOTS REEEEE!!! NOONE CARES!>Meanwhile Bungie themselves are fucking charting fagging their own numbers for the public to see.Like pottery.

>lets make a niche hardcore pvp game and then force players to do destiny 2 tier pve missionslolthe fuck?
I feel like it should be obvious that things should scale appropriately in solos and trios (and the eventual duos).
>>560704772ok thanks for the melty
>>560704820>bungie themselvessorry but that's wrongthe arg is happening at cryoarchive.systemsthis is a 3rd party pulling the API data
>>560705241Bungie is working with all content creators you faggot. Nobody just sat down and made this on their own.
holy shit is everyone retarded tonight? I keep on losing
>>560704772absolutely deranged copeextraction shooters as a genre are oriented around solo play. they are designed for solo players. Bungie wasn't doing some 500 IQ big brain move by butchering that, it's literally just a hacked together design choice given that the game was originally an Apex style hero shooter before they pivoted to creating the worst of both worlds
>>560705456See >>560704113>>560704350What's happening is people are partially trying to kill UESC bots and the rest of the playerbase is taking the opportunity to kill people and farm them before Cryo.

I am a shitter and my vault is getting kind of full. I think I need to bleed garbage out of it. But I don't want to just sell it. Maybe I just make some garbage loadouts and just run them? I am level 10.
