Annyeonghaseyo, my name is Datto-bae.
It's over saars!
>me with my Truth
2st for bungie getting GAPED
>more people are playing Death Stranding 2 than MarathonMaraxisters…the west coast bump isn’t going to happen for us anymore…
As I said in the prior threadI don't think Sony is going to do anything to Bungie, the bones of Marathon are incredible. More likely they'll just dump money in and eventually Marathon will have its own Fallout 76 or Destiny pivot moment where it turns into a huge success. Doomuncs are getting ahead of themselves...
>$3.6B for Bungie>Destiny is dead>Marathon cost $250M to make>Marathon isn't even close to selling 1M copies 1 month after launch>There won't be layoffs, chuds
>>561392525>1.2 million copies soldProbably true, and I still think that the reason they didn't make an announcement about it is cause it would look embarrassing next to the sales figures of every other new game coming out (RE9, StS2, Crimson Desert) and would only draw more bad press.
>>561392546I'm sorry anon...
So now that it's official, why did marathon flop?
>>561392713>I love being raped, please please please... DOOMchads, please RAPE my Marathussi uwuWe know
>>561392725Anyone that thinks there won't be layoffs after all the layoff announcements today is delusional. The fire rises.
>>561392713what do you think about the CSM ending
>>561392713You have an obvious humiliation fetish and it disgusts me
>>561392893civ sold poorly? it truly is over.
>>561393095there's nothing wrong with having a humiliation fetish
>bones of [game] are incredible.A tacit admission that the game is bad.The "bones" aren't even good either. Destiny has always had "good bones" and people lamented that Bungie was wasting so much potential, definitely on purpose at the start of Destiny 2. Marathon has nothing. It is nothing. It's a pale imitation of better games that plays like a tedious spinoff of Destiny without anything actually good about Destiny except the trash-ass "muh gunplay" aim-assist fiesta.
>>561392884Bungie is one of the biggest laughing stocks in the general gayming community. D2 was a pariah game, if you mentioned you played it to almost anyone, hardcore or casual, would lead to mockery and jokes most of the time. They really thought they could sell an ugly fucking troon coded slop piece in a niche fucking genre that they made even worse and more attuned to streamers and neets than Tarkov. Bungie hubris and ego led to them being the biggest fucking nigger freaks in the industry, propped up by cope and nostalgia. They take lessons learned and intentionally forget them because FUCK YOU. The only way they made it this far and convinced sony they are worth 4billion is because evil is real and bungie higher ups worship demons and practice the kaballah and that's why D2 and Marathon is just babylonian fanfiction.
>>561392713Ahh... you best prepare to spread those legs Marasissy. We will be raping you with NO LUBE and will show NO MERCY. The desperation in your posts begging Sony to save Bungie and Maraflop is bricking me up. There will be no pivot. There will be no huge success. There will be only DOOM! Now bend over and get RAPED Marasissy! You said there would be a 40-50k player boost with Cryo and that didn't happen, you then claimed that the game would break 60k with Cryo AND THEN IT DIDN'T. Your futile posts will NOT SAVE YOU OR MARATHON, IT WILL ONLY MAKE US DOOMGODS RAPE YOU HARDER!
>>561392884Your judaism.
Notable "Halo Era" Veterans Still at Bungie:Jason Jones: Co-founder and Chief Visionary Officer (worked on Halo: CE through Reach).Chris Butcher: Technical Director (Lead Engineer on Halo 2 and 3).Lars Bakken: A lead designer on Halo multiplayer and current lead on Marathon.Tyson Green: A veteran designer who helped shape Halo’s sandbox and multiplayer.Shi Kai Wang: Principal Artist who helped design the original look of Master Chief.To everyone saying it's nothing like Halo. Yes we agree 100% but you can't tell me it has OG Bungie essence lingering. They know how to make a game that feels good and familiar, that's the experience shining through.
>>561393440You mean bungie's judaism
>>561393553The essence isn't there. It's not lingering. It's evaporated and gone, replaced by corporate greed.
>>561392918They’ll probably announce layoffs midway through season 2 tops, they’re going to wait to instil whatever faith they can in potential buyers up until then before they really rugpull them.
>>561393553>only 6Out of those 6 only 2 of them really ever get praise to this day, and not for anything recent
>>561392713
>>561393553>Jason Joneshe will save both Martonteen and Density>Tyson GreenI hope he gets fired, I really do, he literally killed the game worse than Luke and Joe combined
>>561393903Jones is literally a husk. He looks like a ketamine addicted homeless man.
>PC gamers saved the game from being a complete disasterPC gamers should be genocided. Literal slop eating cattle
Please play Destiny Rising
>>561394929Did they drop the update that removes the gacha system yet, I heard they were doing that?
>>561393995Joseph Staten really lucked out of most of the old Bungie guard. Netflix shut down the studio he was part of but it seemed like he got a job at Duolingo, which is probably more stable than the current gaymen industry.
>>561394997No. They just added a way to get characters without the gacha but it's still a grind to do it
DOOM. KEKS. IN. SHAMBLES. AH. HA. HA. HA. HA. HA. HA. HA!

>>561394997Not happening until March 26th when Season 4 launches IIRC.
>>561395116>pc gaymerMarasissy?
>>561392713The first stage of grief is denial marasissyIts ok that you were raped. You will move on like us one day but for now dont forget to breathe
>>561395116>35k players>notorious marathon streamer Aztecross dropped the game for the day and is playing deadlock instead
In a span of 1 week, r/marathon went from "Please Bungie, don't change a thing, it's perfect!" to "How do we get more casuals to play!?"What did I miss?
>>561395116uh oh...
>>561395404the playerbase has been trimmed to sweats and the shittier sweats dont like being farmed by better sweats so they want their easy casuals back
>morgan park
>>561395116Paid shill "freelance" blogger
>>561395480AFTER 456 hours of not playing Marathon this month and I definitely do not want in!
>>561395404Queues are now up to 5+ minutes or timing out in every region, and every match that does launch is sweats vs sweats. Bungie had to pull an emergency lever to enable cross-region matchmaking, which they previously said wouldn't be a quick fix and would be in a future season.
>>561395726I love how Bungie gets progressively more mind broken and raped where they have to desperately react to delay their inevitable death.
>>561395726>every match that does launch is sweats vs sweats.Which is great because everyone I know is sick of how sweaty every game is. Truly Marathon is the greatest game of this generation.
>Be Sony >Buy Bungie for $3.6b>They tell you Marathon is gonna be massive, it's worth it to kill Destiny >Game releases >217k copies sold on Playstation
>>561396104Marathon would have honestly avoided this fate if it had a PVE only mode. Just keep some factions like Arachne to PvP only and that’s it, it’s stupid to lock story progression to how well you do in PvP.
>>561396374>PCfags have zero standards.jpg
HOLY FUCK marathon is actually done for35k player peak on tuesdaythats crazypc being the biggest platformflopping on xboxbungie deserved this
SIVA katana soon

>>561396818>SIVAYou mean neomuna whatever the fuck katana soon.
>>561396786Destiny 2’s playercounts also rose by nearly half on PC, so even Bungie fans rightfully realized that the game is too sweaty for them. At this rate they bought it for a diversion that supports Bungo.
>kills your gameadmit it, he won
>>561396995
>>561396696I blame terminally online looney troons, the cool PC gigas are off playing Minecraft or something
>>561397052I hope Escharum discussions haunt Bungie’s HQ whenever they talk about their failed astroturfing sessions here.

>>561397064>the cool PC gigas are off playing MinecraftI just started playing that post-apocalypse Zombie modpack recently. Guns in minecraft is never going to feel right but they tries really hard.
>>561397893Good idea Reddit poster, let the clueless F2P players wander into the second most challenging map at launch and let them get raped into oblivion. It’s a mystery that Bungie has financial hardships when they listen to fans like this.
>70% of the playerbase is on steamSo is it safe to assume that D2 currently has more players than Marathon?
>Marathon peaked lower than Veilguard on steam >70% of Marathon players are on steam >Marathon is $40, Veilguard was full price >There was no $3.6b acquisition for Bioware>There is a solid chance Marathons budget was around the same or bigger than Veilguard>Veilguards performance ended dragon age as a franchise and they had mass layoffs
fuck medestiny is so unfun nowfull of plebs and the only decent players play scatter grenade spam or praxic bladedoing rush and its literally just all praxic bladeslike everyone just runs praxic now to clear fast so they can move on to other games lmao
>>561398403>for Biowarethe freudian slip
>>561398403I think Marathon’s budget was higher than Veilguard by nature of being a live service game. They are perpetually working on it, keeping the servers on, and they’re living in an expensive American city vs a comparatively cheaper Canadian city due to the weaker dollar.
>>561398403This pic reminds of the three wolves howling at the moon T shirt
>>561398739What's wrong about it? He's saying that EA didn't pay billions for Bioware just for them to shit out Veilguard a few years later.
>>561398229I'm in the process of reinstalling elder scrolls onlinethat was always a comfy game
>>561399297
......are people really in denial about Bingie being done for? Remember what happened after lightfall? The expansion that peaked 4 times what marathon did?
>>561399739wait SHITFALL got us the all time peak?LMAO
>>561400315Yes. Final shape sold less than Lightfall
>>561400397the absolute fucking state of marathonLMAO
>>561399362I misread it
reminder when people say >"back in the 2000s you could release a non-selling game and the studio wouldn't die, what happened?"remind them that AAA video games have become massively obsessed with live service games and even the developers focus on it now (bungie legitimately doesn't want to make anything else)It is their fault
>>561401050its greedinstead of releasing legitimately fun games with lots of replayability they release mediocre games stacked with tricks their psych departments have advised them to integrate to negatively incentivise the player to keep playing and potentially become addicted to the dopamine / cortisol feedback loopsgames these days are more addictive than funthats why you get tons of people defending objectively bad gamesits just like when crack addicts justify their addiction, or gamblersthey're not speaking from a logical reference pointthey're just affirming and justifying their addiction so they don't have to feel like they've lost anything by going in too deep with an objectively shit gameyou saw this with marathon too, all the dad gamer posts on plebbit about being bad but still having fun and marathon being a good gamelike nah senpai, thats pure cope
Hype?
>Destiny initially was built with drunk frat boys in mind, same philosophy as Halo>Abandon these gamers for troony yes wo(men)>Studio diesTTD imminent
WHERE IS THE HYPE
so the 1,2 million sales is total bullshit right? if it was true why would they not make a post commemorating it?
>>561401050Studios are too big, cost far too much money to maintain because of the head count and they take way too long to develop games. The state of the economy also has an affect on it, but mostly back in the 2000s games were produced in a couple years and had vastly smaller teams. 2020 was when the massive inflation of these studios begun where they started hiring everybody they could, even those that aren't talented. You could also place the blame on diversity shit with companies hiring people that have no clue what they are doing yet are hired because they are brown or a woman. The entire industry deserves to crash and burn, its also funny seeing indie titles perform better than big AAA studio games because the indie games are far cheaper to produce and the developers actually want to make a fun game and not a game that is a vehicle to just sell people microtransactions.
>>561402149because in reality its about 800k, if that anon on /v/ is to be believed
>>561401928>troons can only lie and praise bungie because they already do that with their fellow troons where they lie and give fake compliments to each other all the timelol lmao, the troon mindset is truly one that kills
>>561401928
>>561401596>>561401947
wait...if bungie dies... byf kills himself. for real this time.
Play Marvel Rivals
Good time to start Destiny Rising on March 26th.They are doing away with the energy system and toning back the gacha, not necceary for new characters. The entire upgrade aystem is being re-worked. Its a fun game.
>>561402796>Free Efrideet and I can claim Jaren as wellI will now reinstall your game
>>561402759goonslop
>>561402759I already do, pretty fun game to play with friends
>>561402796im good
>>561402149According to what Paul's "sources" told him, that figure is close to being accurate. Per the article>The sales, platform split and DAUs are very close to reality over at Bungie, I’m told. The problem is…this is lower than it should be in general, from launch figures to now, given the context of the game, meaning its development time, cost and expectations from Sony for Bungie’s first new IP in a decade. That is also reality.The other problem is that Xbox and Steam take their cuts too, they're making less with each purchase not done on PS5.
>>561402149It's probably true given all the marketing the game received, but still it's an abysmal amount for a game that was meant to save the company, especially after a full month.
>>561402796did they undyke the goth girl?

>>561404247Why the fuck does an extraction shooter need ranked? It goes against everything the genre stands for
>>561405124Every moment I'm reminded of the deballing of Drifter and the rapening of Gambit I'm reminded of why bungie being raped and shutdown is the best outcome.
>>561405191Bungie still wants their epic mlg esports slop even though no one fucking cares about that shit in current year except for assfaggots players and only if it's assfaggots. Now, Marathon is ass and full of faggots but it's still not assfaggots.

>>561405513>marathon needs a spreadsheet to understand how ranked worksWhat
people outside NA are waiting 15 minutes to find a game
D2 went from 7k to 14k because of a nothing patch. It seems there's quite a lot of people that still haven't given up on this game
>>561405819>he doesn't knowoh no no no
>>561406029This looks like an exam sheet wtf
>>561406029All the "praise" that retards gave bungie over "obscure" slop in Destiny really got to their heads huh? Why the fuck would they design everything in this game as if it was made for a Trials no lifer streamer that's merged with a Day 1 Raid streamer? Lmfao, a game made for virtually no one.
>>561405995Not only is it less sweaty than Marathon, but it ironically respects your free time a lot more in comparison. And there's still nothing else quite like it for better or worse, which makes it dumber that Bungie thought to leave it wither for about 2 months just so Marathon could get the spotlight.
>>561404247It should all be available at all times. But if they are that desperate to consolidate the few players they have left then just have them available the entire week and just rotate which one is available each week.
>>561405995>14kTAKE THAT DOOMKEKS! A 100% INCREASE IN GUARDIANS! WOW!
>Magic the gathering crossover armor lmfao
datto status?
It's almost certain that Marathon will be considered a success within a year now, Bungie just needs more time to cook like they did with both D1 and D2. Nothing is going to happen to Bungie.
>>561404438>t.
>>561406880>still replying to baitNiggas need to read reply chains before trying to own niggas
>>561406823Game reviews confirm this btw, there is a core of highly skilled gamers (non geriatric uncs) out there that will be a cult following. Even big outlets are giving 9/10s now.
It appears Tassi's dooming has started a chain reaction
>>561406823AI is a new low.....even for you marassisy.......I thought you were better than this...............
>>561406823without millions of extra dollars to fund an overhaul to the game like taken king or forsaken?yeah right lol.Sony are probably keen on letting their shit game die so they can clean house and focus on expanding Destiny.I seriously dont understand why Bungie decided to drop so much support for Destiny when it could have been a bigger IP. but then again bungie are really fucking lazy so they probably didntliket he idea of having to deliver quality content every yearcryo archive was such a dogshit content drop, if you put that boss fight into destiny 2, people would have shit on them on reddit nonstop.
>>561406823Marasissy was that you I spotted in a /v/ thread talking about once word of mouth spreads? You always come crawling back to us DOOMGODS because you love to be raped by us. Don't worry Marasissy so far has just been the appetiser, soon we will arrive at the main course... the dessert? Oh well now that will be a surprise.
>>561406823It's almost certain that your hopussi will be ceaselessly gaping with a year from now, DOOMchads just need more time to permanently break open that bussy like we have been with you and your hopeposting about D2 even before Slopathon. Nothing is going to save Bungie.
>i bet my future on jeetathon
>Marasissies have resorted to saying Tassi is a marathon hater and he's purposely tanking the game KEKAROO
>>561407397Deserved. Imagine trying to jump ship from Halo to NuMarathon. Fucking insane.
>>561405085>log inthat was your first mistake
>>561392525>steam is 70% of marathons population>console only 30%No wonder they preferred to brag about their 400k discord groomers instead of actual copies sold, since mainly PC troons use that site.
>>561392713Destiny never needed a “pivot moment” to be successful, it just was from the outset. Despite all the whining during vanilla and the content droughts like the one between TTK and the April update, Destiny never had to struggle to survive like Marathon is. It was just decently successful despite the widely known red flags coming up from Bungie.
I realize this thread is full of brainrotted people but can you imagine how fucking cool Marathon could have been if it had the amount of depth of Tarkov and autistic details and armor system but with the current aesthetics and art?
What the FUCK were they thinking?
this is too much loot, tranno was right
>>561408931We literally wouldn't be in this mess if they never introduced the portal and put tiered weapons into places that make sense.
>>561408931what the fuck is that!?

In a reasonable world, marathon would better as a single player/coop game around tau ceti IV, with the marathon levels being something like the dark zones in division
>>561408706this would be worth it if they still owned the halo ip
It's so crazy to me that Bungie left so much content to rot. -Leviathan-Eater of World-Spire of Stars-Crown of Sorrow-Scourge of the PastThis was developed content that only required some testing and balancing to make sure Stasis, Strand, and Prismatic wouldn't break the game, and they never brought any of it back. This could have revitalized the player a year ago. This proves that Bungie intentionally sabotaged Destiny 2 for Marathon. I'm sure Sony will be niggers and try to keep everything that's going to happen in the next few months underwraps for thesake appeasing shareholers and keeping their stuck steady but man this is some next level retardation. I really hope they dont even give Bungie the option to relaunch their piece of shit extraction shooter.

>>561408604There's a lot of things to like about nuMarathon, and that's what makes it even more frustrating for me after giving it 22 hours worth of chances desu. The Orientation segment of the Outpost map clearly had a lot of love put into it with interactive props that also play audio and give you more information about their plans for Tau Ceti, but there's zero reason to stick around to listen to any of it because it will attract enemy players who will instantly kill on sight and loot your shit. The setting is cool and I did enjoy reading some of the Codex logs, but its wasted effort on a population that only cares about PvPing to where they probably have no clue that you can upgrade factions for new passives. And the game paradoxically wants to appeal to muh hardcore sweatfags, but there's also extremely heavy built in aim assist that came over from Halo.
>>561410525THE END APPROACHES, A FINALITY NOT EVEN SONY CAN SAVE BUNGIE FROM!

Mobygames has the credits for Marathon listed on their website, and unless they counted things up wrong or the vast majority of those names were from people that outsourced props for the game, there was a LOT of people that worked on it.Tyson Green doesn't seem to be credited though.

>>561413830I remember being fairly unimpressed at this time cause they kept falling back on reused bosses and returning D1 exotics. Didn't know how good we had it.
>>561413574In cases like this it just means that the product wasn't that interesting to begin with. Its probably worse than something like DmC 2013 where it was players vs journos and because the game had fucking wild dialogue, or like Ghostbusters 2016 where it was a bad movie propped up by the culture wars. People gave Marathon a chance and the moment Bungie confirmed again in 2025 that it was an extraction shooter, they dropped it. Those that stuck around dropped it after they learned the entire artstyle was stolen from one person, not just one asset. The players that weren't turned off due to the poor alpha reception or the art drama that dropped the game the moment they touched the Server Slam and discovered a mediocre experience. And whatever was left that paid for the game dropped it because even though they tried desperately to like it, the game was too much of a sweatfest that did not value the time they wasted in it.

>>561415146I fought her and the taken meatball in my one run. Funny how much of the "vaulted" stuff has made it's way into other activities but we somehow aren't allowed to fully access it.

It keeps going downWhere's the new content to counteract the drop?When is it going to settle?
>>561416939It'll probably have a floor of 40k, which is more than enough to float Marathon along for a year until a Forsaken style expansion comes up, then probably 100-200k daily averages.

You just know that bungie devs are seething at destiny players right now, blaming them for the reason marathon failed.The current ceo had a talk blaming hardcore fans for the reason future dlcs did poorly, likening it to them screaming through a megaphone to not buy their game
Do people play destiny 2 together here?
>>561423323no
>>561423416Is this game bad now or something?

>>561423323That time passed long ago, brother.
>>561423487Have you been stuck in stasis for the last decade?
So Rushdown is a bunch of "vaulted" campaign missions? I thought they broke the game.

>>561423687They're gonna try and resell the vaulted shit back to us in a "legacy pack" for 20 dollars, lmao
i remember doing the levi raid with people that i knew on the ps4.. it was so fun.
>>561423825and they'd make a millions doing it
With 70% of Marathon players being on PC, and only getting about about 30-40k peak, does that mean Destiny 2 still has a higher peak CCU than Marathon despite being totally dead and abandoned?
>>561423764>What changed?A whole bunch of shit. Seasonal slop introducing generic live service seasonal loop, every dlc has less work put into it than before, seasonal meta limits the sandbox so building how you want is not as fun, watchable content instead of fun but challenging gameplay, seasonal slop is designed to waste as much time possible for shit rewards, no direction, lying, community is filled with awful subhuman apes that can't read analogue clocksJust know that EOF further went into seasonal slop and ruined the game with forced loadouts and portal so every other activity has no point
>>561424249yes
>>561423764The game's had a lot of content abandoned or removed. The grind is endlessly repetitive and what they did with the story is insultingly bad. Its best years are behind it now. Bungie's an awful company and people here are tired of their shit. It's basically in maintenance mode now aside from cashgrab collab expansions to squeeze the remaining players for a few extra bucks.
>>561423185Bullshit, no way did they say something that stupid. Even for Bungie standards that’s too much.>>561420314I can see the servers still being online for Bungie’s remaining games. D1 is complete and ironically cannot be tampered with, otherwise Bungie would fuck it up somehow. It’s servers are also tied to the hip with D2’s, which likely won’t ever get updates after June and it’s core gameplay loop revolves around it being a live service game, but they probably still make enough to justify keeping the servers on if nothing else. Marathon, who knows. It may not even share the same servers as Destiny.The greater question more than anything is whether Bungie will make it to the end of the year unscathed. Sony is laying off tons of PlayStation employees, there is no way that they aren’t letting go of a few Bungie talents at least.
>>561424583Its from the infamous overdeliver gdc panel
>>561404375The MuMu emulator is better than some PC versions. It works instantly on keyboard or controller.
why do faggots blame marathon for destiny's death as if destiny already killed itself with the final shape?
>>561423185Somehow bungie never seemed to get the message. First we got mad, then we stopped caring. The likes of that justin faggot need to go. Destiny 2 is just an example of class warfare done through vidya.
>>561424583>The greater question more than anything is whether Bungie will make it to the end of the year unscathedThis but I think we all know they're gonna get the hammer thrown down on them no doubt sometime this year, rightfully so. Im just wondering if they're gonna be completely dismantled or if sony will put their own people in but keep the bungie name and key employees who actually do their jobs. or be a made into a support studio or be sold off or be given to another studio to work on or... idk, whatever else there is.
>>561427652because the best devs on the destiny team were headhunted for the marathon teamand this was allowed because the "old guard" were the ones fronting the marathon project.and over time the marathon project siphoned more and more money, devs and resources away from the destiny teammarathon started development before 2022so it had at least 3 years worth of dev time before the final shape came out.witch queen, lightfall and the final shape would have been better expansions if destiny was bungies one and only project.
>>561429070the final shape was one of the best expansions released and we still had a significant player decrease right after its releaseit wasn't anything to do with the game, many players were just tired of the treadmill and got off at the perfect timethe only argument you could make is if bungie aligned the game around the sentiment of players at the time maybe more casuals would have stuck around, but this isn't a talent problem but rather bungie's own ego that forces the game to go against what the players have been asking for for years
>>561429397>the final shape was one of the best expansions releasedi agree, its the 7th best expansion.
>>561429397>final shape was one of the best expansions released
>>561429070Also, Marathon was the sole reason we stopped getting new weapon models after Lightfall, all the modellers were stuck working on the Marathon maps I'd wager.
>just started edge of fateWhat the fuck is this shit? How the fuck does turning into an arc ball connect to dark matter? This shit could've been a Warlock ability. Why can't we just go back to fighting the darkness?
>>561424583Have you seen how the obviously paid shills behave towards Destiny players? How there's a major astroturfed narrative towards belittling and vilifying Destiny players on the Marathon communities?All that shit is actually a projection from within Bungie, they hate us most likely because we're always complaining about them not doing enough and they generally always miss the mark. They wanted to distance themselves from us hecking toxic chuds and thought they could totally cultivate a healthy playerbase with Marathon, a game made with possibly one of the most toxic and chuddy gameplay loops and totally didn't see the problem until it blew up in their faces.We were too good to Bungie, they deserve their death, and they brought it on themselves solely due to hubris.
>>561429572>>561430321i see i'm dealing with nostalgiatards
>just thought back to when they revealed the renegades expansionI swear this entire thread was laughing
>>561431143I sure do love when you pay for the entire game to be sunset while the story retreads story beats that were already done over a year before and ends with marvelslop. Can't forget the raid being overtuned for streamerfags with fucking awful looking gear after they (somewhat justifiably) complained that the previous raid was just a glorified dungeon.
>>561423764The game fundamentally changed in the dumbest ways after EoF as Bungie hoped to minimize the amount of work they'd have to put in the game while maximizing profits (all so they could run Marathon alongside it), as a result, the current gameplay loop is an endless, poorly designed treadmill of running the same most "efficient" mission stacking the most cancer "difficulty" modifiers for potentially a hundred hours just so you can start getting endgame gear, they said they wanted to reduce the grind and reward skill but then they pull this shit. Most players here abandoned the game before reaching max LL as the writing was already on the wall that the game had entered maintenance mode, as well as it becoming completely unfun and starved of content, because they vault all the seasonal content every year, except this time they had absolutely NOTHING to replace it with and thought it was completely ok.In short, avoid the game like the plague and get a refund if you didn't get it through humble bundle.
>living life>remember some bullshit bungie did years ago>day ruined
>>561423764It's a fun game but not enough to be a main game, you won't get any story about the game however, you WILL be missing a lot of context since 90% of it has been removed.Order of playing the expansions is:Moon (Shadowkeep) > Europa (Beyond Light) > Savathun's Throne World/Mars (The Witch Queen) > Neptune (Lightfall) > The Pale Heart (The Final Shape).If you got Year of Prophecy, idk why you would do that but alas, they can be accessed through the Portal tabEdge of Fate > Renegades
Why did Marathon flop?What's next for Bungie?Destiny 3?
>>561429397only after they got tardwrangled by Sony when the reveal trailer got lukewarm reception, they realized they needed to put more work into it since at the time they were laser focused on Marathon to have it out last year (lol). Then we got prismatic and a bunch of other stuff that was obviously not part of what they originally wanted to release.
>>561402149Total bullshit, 400k max.
Can someone explain why you niggers are so vindictive towards Marathon? Idc if Bungie left your shit game to rot and die at least it had it's heydays, but ofc your cancerous fanbase can't simply move on to better things in life you JUST HAVE TO inflict your misery on Marathon cause Bungie dared to make something other than the same fucking thing for 14 years in a row
>>561432476>What's next for Bungie?
>>561432852its karma for firing marty o'donnell
>>561432476>What's next for Bungie?The chopping block
>>561433159He had karma served to him for being a creep chud
>>561432852OOOOO BUNGIE DEV COPE WE GOT A LIVE ONE HEREI personally didn't care about the concord hate, I even wanted to buy the game before February!Then details started coming up about how you made a completely barebones game despite all these years of development you incompetent fucks had, then the insufferable astroturfing made associating with the game extremely cringe, you took a defensive marketing approach rather than a traditional one which showed you had absolutely no confidence in what you were making after Arc Raiders humiliated you in every regard, and then the latest demos and the slam showed you didn't even know what an extraction shooter even was, you made a battle royale version of Trials with impermanent progress, it was obvious it would fail. The Destiny fanbase mostly hated you because you tried to continue milking it with bare minimum resources instead of ending it on a mid note with TFS, making it completely unplayable in the process, so that in turn turned into schadenfreude that's more entertaining than Marathon itself, especially watching the streamers break trying to deal with the absolute dogshit you made while failing to maintain a straight face.
>>561432476>Why did Marathon flop?It's a bad game>What's next for Bungie?Rapes and layoffs>Destiny 3?kek
>>561433559I bet you faggots are fuming with jealousy on how alive and responsive Bungie have been listening to the community and implementing changes. That tends to happen when devs are working on something they love and their community isn't filled with entitled niggers who want you dead for some reason.
>changes old studio motto to this feel good corpo slop>...>proceeds to release a PvP-centric game that promotes griefing and encourages kill on sight behavior????????
>>561433965>I bet you faggots are fuming with jealousy on how alive and responsive Bungie have been listening to the community and implementing changes.Cryo on Thursday??? EPIC, BUNGIE COOKED!!! Look at the Crimson Desert devs if you want to see what a real responsive dev looks like.
>>561433965>jealousyfor doing bare minimum sandbox updates with no real substance? And 2 drip fed maps with subpar content? It's not even about Destiny at this point, Bungie is just a shitty company and anyone defending it is mentally ill or paid to do it. The entire game is just another shitty Destiny expansion with the same bare minimum viable product approach Bungie's always had, and they seemingly have nothing else in the pipeline until at least next year for Marathon, if anything you're more starved for content than D2 ever was.And you don't seem to understand, we don't care about the death of Destiny, Bungie deserves everything that's coming to them and the hate from the Destiny community is something they cultivated over multiple years of abusive behavior towards their customers. Marathon is the first time NuBungie goes out into the real world, and they're being eaten alive in the process.
>>561434283>Look at the Crimson Desert devs if you want to see what a real responsive dev looks like.>We changed rapeslaved controls to industry standards WOW SLOP DESERT SWEEP
>>561433965>and their community isn't filled with entitled niggers who want you dead for some reason.I wonder why Destiny players turned out like this. Maybe because whole franchise was on downward trajectory since they parted their ways with the Activision?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QityFqiRDkY
how will the GDP of India ever recoverBungie is going to have to start paying their shills a lot more
>>561434442I don't fucking care! I just need your fanbases toxicity contained within your shit games community and leave us the fuck alone. Thanks in advance!
>>561434458Crimson Desert gets more players during off hours than Marathon's record CCU, triple the sales, 1/3 of the budget, and half of the employees. You fags are getting laid off kek

>>561434609In time, you will know the tragic extent of my failings...We are not your enemies. You are just another victim caught in abusive cycle of nuBungie, you'll come around.

>>561434778And?
>It's a niche genre, Chud. That's why nobody is buying or playing it.
if Marathon is was expected to be a niche title, it should have been a side project with a smaller team.
>>561435024You fags are clearly just bored because the game has no content until August and it flopped. I almost can't believe you had to do a server merge in less than 3 weeks, that's hilarious. Chuds won and I'm not sorry that your shit game failed to save Bungie.
>>561395062>he doesn't know
>>561434609Marathon is a straight port of D2 PvP trials, there's nothing extraordinary about it, the game is killing itself in the same way D2 trials did, if nobody talks about your game it's because there's nothing to talk about, you already know all there is to know and Bungie won't make any real additions or changes until next year assuming Sony doesn't axe support beforehand.Besides, it's mostly the /v/ concord fags who flood your thread these days, if not your very own players with buyers remorse trying to cope.>>561435024YOU shat up our general first with the constant shilling and astroturfing, if you got undesirables from here carrying over and disrupting your safe space with schadenfreude it's solely your fault.
>>561406029this is so retarded
>>561431674You guys go on endlessly about how us Marathon Gods are raped but every time you all talk about Destiny you just sound like the raped...
>>561433159Marty was a dumb chud, he made a single good soundtrack 20 years ago. His contributions to Destiny were mid and the Music of the Spheres was forgettable compared to the stuff his successors made.
>>561406170It was also an official tweet by Bungie lmao.
>>561435547D2/D1 had music of the spheres references and motifs in nearly every expansion, cope.Marathon has like one good theme and the rest is just ambient gibberish.
>>561408706for the hundredth timesony had a retard ceo obsessed with live servicebungie had retard c-suites obsessed with making a moviesony wanted to get exclusive access to live service expertise from one of the most successful in the industry (but did not understand the real situation)bungie is extremely good at lying to people to get them to spend moneythe timeline for getting the retard sony ceo out was about the same as the one for bungie c-suites to get their payouts from the deal and dipthe new sony ceo &co are clearly less than happy with this which is why bungie doesn't even have a ceo anymore, just a "studio head"

>>561435937>>561435812No, I'm entirely serious. Almost everything good and notable in Destiny 1's soundtrack came from Salvatori, this is extremely transparent in how after Marty left the quality actively increased and got better while the same callbacks persisted. Marty is the composer equivalent of Chris Avellone, and just as mediocre and stupid. They even both harassed women and pivoted to being chud grifters after becoming totally washed and forgotten.
