[celest raft]

I wanted to like Tarkov but I don't wanna support BSG for their business practices let alone Kremlin bullshit, and I also don't wanna have to learn every inch of each goddamn map

ABI just has so many quality of life options and is just not nearly as headache-inducing, the only issue I have with ABI is that you can buy in game currency with real money with no limits

[magic leaf]

The depth that the game has, the soul, the story, I'm spending 60 on retunal every, single, time.

[mellow fjord]

Neon prime looked like it was made from huppogames more than valve, and I was there from cidetail to neon prime to deadlock, but it was quite impressive they changed a lot in a small amount of time plus the new artstyle with soo fresh

[true epoch]

Yea

[ashen ravine]

how long update be?

[elder rampart]

mb for not saying it correctly. Like the cycle frontier i’ve been waiting for a sci fi looter shooter pvpve extraction shooter with good movement and fps. I am happy cause i get that with marathon

[magic rose]

At least 5 mins

[mellow fjord]

Yeaah I saw that, and it was supposed to be related to half life 😭

[stable lark]

It's really hard for me to care about marathon's "limited character customization" when the actual character building (gameplay, the important thing) is so much better

[flat ice]

I can say Tarkov is a great game (besides BSGs stupidity), my group stopped playing mostly due to memorizing the entire damn game by now, and because of cheaters

ABI is fun to play and less demanding overall, I like the QoL etc

[mellow fjord]

Yeah and the match ups really sucked

[celest raft]

the other problem with Marathon being class based is that in an extraction shooter you REALLY wanna be immersed in the emergent gameplay and running around seeing copies of the same characters is extremely immersion breaking lul

[kindred rapids]

My favourite thing about the style change is that people didn't even notice that most of the assets in Deadlock were placeholders lmao

[elder rampart]

heavy on this, idc to look at myself it’s first person either way i can’t, i care abt playing and winning

[magic leaf]

bro I actually liked that game, I'm so sad that it didn't live, it was actually good, it did the extraction so well, maps were full and explorable, when you extracted with great loot after having some intense fights, chefs kiss

[mellow fjord]

Yeah, ivy carried deadlock and vindicta feet too

[celest raft]

SPT is a thing but its still just a full time job to pick up, ABI condenses that experience to the best parts only

[elder rampart]

great game executed poorly by the devs

[quick cypress]

the trailer Marathon | Reveal Cinematic Short 2:44

[magic leaf]

Like Im saying, game has a real identity crisis

[celest raft]

idk the lore so maybe

[red dune]

It's all on skill, and I thought I had a good build when dealing with nemesis. It was easy with the other bosses when you know the attack patterns, and being able to move on to the other areas. Not to mention the adaptive triggers felt good with the alternative weapon functions, or the adrenaline system encourging you to play well

[ashen ravine]

hello guys

[flat ice]

I played both SPT and the official PvE. I think it loses a lot of charm without PvP. Still fun but a different thing entirely I guess

[magic rose]

This is what pisses me off with apex too

[magic leaf]

Bro the Electropylon is PEAK

[celest raft]

the only problem I have with ABI really is that it has no meta progression like the hideout, but im very glad ABI did away with the bullshit "RPG" mechanics Tarkov uses

[mellow fjord]

Valve is too good to the point the game was looking fine with placeholders (I think valve is the best gaming company at this point (even tho they don't make much games (and artifact 💀)))

[celest raft]

like im a trained mercenary even at the start of the game, why can I not shoulder my gun in a manner that is more steady than the average civilian

[magic leaf]

Im sorry yall but this game is sooooo shit at what its supposedly going to be good at, this is a come and go typa game, nobodys going to be talking about this game come next year

[kindred rapids]

Even artifact wasn't bad, it was just a card game that didn't really differ all that much from the competition

[elder linden]

The biggest hit to my hype was the official reveal for Marathon. I was still expecting the game they talked about in 2023. The game we have now needs more work than it can get in the 5 months before release. I think it would also be helpful if Bungie could reply to some of the feedback that they do or don't agree with, it feels like the community is arguing over nothing because we never get anything back. Bungie dev interview says no to VOIP -> community begs for VOIP -> Devs: 🦗 -> Community Argues for/against VOIP -> Devs do what they want anyway. I understand that the community isn't entitled to feedback on their feedback, but sometimes it feels like we're sending feedback into the void while being told that we are being listened to.

[timber breach]

They made this game and then changed it and just added this hero crap to it, which is why it feels that way. Arc changed from looter shooter to extraction but they did a full turnaround and all the mechanics are well thought out. It still suffers from some same-ish outfits but at least they're fundamentally different people with different faces, hair, etc. And there were like 30+ outfits in the tech test 2 alone

[magic rose]

Fuck voip

[magic leaf]

See, you're making points that highlight ARC as a real development with a goal, this game kinda presents, underwhelming

[celest raft]

the hell did it do to you man

[red dune]

The music got me by the hooks and that's even before playing the game, really immerses you. The same goes for the bits of story you uncover, on the planet or in other areas

[magic rose]

It ran over my cat

[timber breach]

I haven't followed Marathon's development but I have Arc's since 2019 so I can only speak so much about Arc 😓 got a bit of bias there too

[magic leaf]

The spaceman scene when she goes off the bridge fucked me upppp

[magic rose]

Prox voip

[tribal spade]

fuck your cat respectfully

[red dune]

The implications that changes so much depending what you even know, which also makes it so screwed up either way

[finite escarp]

How do I get a code to play this game chat?

[tribal spade]

sorry i got carried away

[red dune]

The next game they are making I will definitely play without a doubt

[quick cypress]

Hey Marathon dev if you can see this, please you can turn around the game and make it better. I just hope you really take players feedback to heart because I been waiting for this game to be out and be great for everyone so please listen to us.

[celest raft]

"IT BURNED OUR CROPS, POISONED OUR WATER SUPPLY, AND DELIVERED A PLAGUE UNTO OUR HOUSES!" "IT DID?!?!?!" "NO, BUT ARE WE GONNA JUST WAIT UNTIL IT DOES?!?!?!?!"

[magic rose]

Rude

[magic leaf]

The 2 opposing story lines that you uncover, you dont really know if you're a deusional failure or a real boss bitch

[quick cypress]

Like really I’m tired to see games people been waiting for so long only to come out not great for anyone…

[red dune]

Eh, I like to think it that the cycle is her punishment in a way, but she can break out of it. It didn't make it boring with the other pieces of fiction of being in a cycle and trying to break out of it, and making the process interesting along the way and also character development for the person

[timber breach]

Marathon has a cat only in trailers
Arc has a chicken that requires a dog collar and cat bed 😂 beat that random ass upgrade system

[red dune]

The game is a great roguelike, probably up there with Hades

[celest raft]

and then a goddamned lemon for some reason

[celest raft]

Cloverpit looks dope as hell if we wanna talk about roguelikes

[kindred rapids]

6 lemons and 6 apricots*

[celest raft]

Cloverpit almost CERTAINLY will blow up, mark my words

[timber breach]

Don't get me started. I COULDN'T FIND THE PILLOWS BRO!

[quick cypress]

Ok actually I have question for all of you, do you think that we prefer characters without super powers or abilities just relay on tools and gadgets and dress them the way we want? Or we don’t mind the whole hero characters looking with their powers?

[kindred rapids]

Dude the worst part is

[magic leaf]

Im going to blow your mind, The person driving the car was her mother, she was set to be an astronaut but died, she dedicated her life to fulfilling her mothers dream, eventually once you complete the second boss and cross the bridge, she goes back home, gets rescued and lives out her life, when she dies she gets sent back right to the spaceship landing

[celest raft]

it depends

[timber breach]

I prefer tools and gadgets, you can get way more creative with those.
Heroes just make it feel goofy in general

[red dune]

Damm

[kindred rapids]

I apparently had everything to upgrade the goddamn chicken to max in my stash except the fucking lemons

[sullen ridge]

I need to hop on again to violently goon to ivy check out the new style

[celest raft]

it makes way too much sense to have a roguelike game be about a time loop fr

[tribal spade]

im ngl they gotta buff the resources

[celest raft]

on some Live Die Repeat shit

[red dune]

It does fit in the context

[quiet osprey]

Do Bungie team have talked about the state of the game rn ?

[magic leaf]

The story line changes and one of her cycles ends up living out her mothers dream and becomes that astronaut, while on a mission she gets teleported into the street, guess what, she was the astronaut that got sent home in order to complete the cycle and make her live her life only to return back to the planet

[quick cypress]

I’m actually curious about that

[delicate shale]

When does the closed alpha close

[magic leaf]

The entity literally send her back to earth to be the nexus event creating the cycle

[celest raft]

you should probably spoiler this stuff

[quick cypress]

I think he meant about the head to head with the other game

[quiet osprey]

Yeah a statement to reasure the player

[celest raft]

a lot of people haven't been able to play Returnal until relatively recently with the PC port finally coming out

[magic leaf]

Dont worry its not really a spoiler, thats a very surface level story line, trust me, its gets DEEP

[red dune]

There's the Tower DLC which has more story

Honestly PlayStation games are that good, but it sucks if the PC port isn't done well or optimized well

[celest raft]

Mortal Sin is a roguelite I picked up recently that slaps haaard

one dev too

[quick cypress]

It feels like a trillion bucks

[quiet osprey]

This message was before the alpha:/ outch its not gonna be the same

[celest raft]

maaan I don't wanna be that guy but I also am missing Arc ngl

[gritty magnet]

Yo beta release when?

[magic leaf]

the tower is amazing, It took me a while to get the settings right but the game runs great, sure a little more performance can be squeezed out but overall its good enough

[celest raft]

the playtest for Marathon is up rn but no invites are going out, game in September fully

[red dune]

I'll get to it after I finish with nemesis

[celest raft]

oh wait chat

[red dune]

I'm just occupied with other games

[magic leaf]

Electropylon supremecy

[celest raft]

chat if we're talking about extraction games, what about Grey Zone Warfare ?!?!?!?!

[quiet osprey]

August 22 someone told on a French video

[celest raft]

I haven't tried that one at all yet or heard much about it

[gritty magnet]

How do I access it on console?

[magic leaf]

the game is sooo memorable, I love how you can pick it up anytime and its like u just went to get a bowl of cereal and returned

[elder linden]

I hope this statement is long and comprehensive, otherwise it's not worth the asynchronous communication.

[magic leaf]

when you get to the desert level exit the main building and wrap the left wall, theres a little space man easter egg

[quick cypress]

Ok anyone have prediction for the next play testing? And I hope it’s world wide this time

[magic leaf]

no more play tests brodie

[celest raft]

it looks...okay

[stable lark]

There will be an open beta in August

[red dune]

I'm actually interested in gray zone

[bright fiber]

Gray Zone is dead sadly

[celest raft]

I'd try it but idk if I can run it that well

[red dune]

I can't even run any games, integrated graphics suck

[celest raft]

I find it interesting that GWZ uses one REALLY big map with multiple larger pois instead of multiple sectioned off maps

[timber breach]

grayzone is fun but i warn you it's so underdeveloped and unfinished that you'll get bored after 1 wipe

they said it'll be ~5 more years in heavy development

[celest raft]

oof

[timber breach]

it's fun, i got 120h on it, but im not playing it for another year 💀

[celest raft]

hopefully they don't get crushed under the weight of their own hubris

[mellow fjord]

No I don't think that's the reason, the game itself was good but super complicated

[red dune]

Last time I remember each group have missions to do, figuring things out since directions are not to be pointed out for them obviously, and that means dealing with other groups

[magic leaf]

RIP marathon

[celest raft]

man why do people say that the extraction shooter market is oversaturated or dead

we have like 2, maybe three good games atm

💀

[timber breach]

its cuz there's a lot of shiet games out there

[magic leaf]

bruh

[red dune]

Extraction shooters are having it hard unfortunately

[timber breach]

tell me 5 extraction shooters that have actually RELEASED FULLY
i dare you. (not dead ones)

they're all in betas, early access, extremely under funded and ambitious projects that are 5 years till release, or just dead

[celest raft]

It probably leans towards the fact that developing an extraction shooter is so much more open ended and ambitious than developing just a BR or something

[magic leaf]

This game launched in a dead market, ARC hit a quick revive and marathon is still downed lmao

[elder linden]

I've seen other game studios (Blizzard) say they will make a big statement about the game, and then release a nothing burger, enough times that any time I see a statement that there will be a big statement to answer your worries, I'm automatically skeptical. If Bungie's big statement answers at least half of the concerns it will make me like them even more.

[timber breach]

true, plus the biggest extraction shooter that set the stage for the genre isnt even finished yet 😂

[mellow fjord]

That too, but the people who played the game said it's the best card game that they have ever played but the game was just too hard like it wasn't casual friendly at all

[celest raft]

making a good extraction shooter requires creativity

at least some

[celest raft]

won't ever be, honestly.

[magic leaf]

who here would agree that the devs are the games soul and body

[timber breach]

they promised a lot,, but i doubt itll ever release that way

[celest raft]

Tarkov will die off sooner than 1.0 I feel like because of Nikita lmao

his response to ABI proved that

[kindred rapids]

It will never be finished, because finished state for Tarkov is a different game entirely lmao

[timber breach]

nah you don't understand product loyalty

[median jetty]

wish me luck gonna get my butt kicked in perimeter

[magic leaf]

DayZ is still on them charts

[timber breach]

imagine this right, marathon comes out at this alpha state, it wont die because of bungie fans. it just wont

[celest raft]

I will say

Tarkov is one of the most fun games to watch people play I think, at least for FPS games

the fights in that game just always look fun to watch, the audio is good, the gun customization holds up, but its just a full time job

the cheating is unbelievable too

[timber breach]

DayZ lives off of player experience, heavy modding and nostalgic jank, the same way Rust does, minus the jank and "heavy" modding. Rust is just good I guess 😭 (I love DayZ)

[celest raft]

when you're actually fighting other players fairly its amazing

[red dune]

The game hits you hard like a mule

It's not easy to get into, but holy hell god help you if you make a mistake. But it's kind of interesting in a way, because if you die then you lose your gear

[celest raft]

Hunt Showdown was better to me for smaller doses, also im just too ADHD to learn Tarkov's extracts fully lol

[magic leaf]

Yeah you and the 600 other people who would play on a daily basis would get bored after 2 weeks, thats just the truth, if it released like this thats basically suicide, I think the 5 months is heavily required for them to innovate and really dial in the concept

[red dune]

Then there's the other maps you have to gain access to, with keys and maps and then getting into them and then getting out intact

[red dune]

I won't lie I'm tempted to try Hunt, because so far it's standing well

[celest raft]

also I think that there might be some weird Russian nationalism going on with Tarkov atm and supporting the Ukraine "3 day special operation"

[glacial bane]

is nokturnal still in here yappin

[celest raft]

the problems with Hunt for me presently, as someone with over 200 hours in it, came after the "1896" rebranding

the Post Malone collab was a death knell for any immersion the game once had for me

[magic leaf]

One point that people did not like that I said was that marathon has no risk, its just doesnt feel right placing it or even comparing it to current extraction shooters

[timber breach]

"you"? who am I? I'm not paying for Marathon lmao

I'm not a bungie fan, I've never played a bungie game. I came here after the fake cgi trailers and short.

[jovial lark]

Guys how good is marathon? Ive heard people are quite undatisfied with it but i never got to test

[echo herald]

Marathon !!!! Let me in !!!!

[magic leaf]

my bad, tablescent and the other 600

[celest raft]

I wouldn't be surprised if BSG was paying money to the kremlin, as well as Nikita and other staff members supporting Russian seperatist groups in Ukraine

[magic leaf]

Yeah thats what hooked me in unfortunately i am so dissapointed

[timber breach]

I'm a simple man, you show me things, I expect things
I play your game, and it's almost completely different, I feel betrayed
That's your reputation go down bye bye

[magic leaf]

Simple man with simple demands, i think you and I will be playing ARc

[tacit glade]

try it - it's on sale rn

[timber breach]

🤝 I'll be seeing you topside

[echo herald]

Destiny 3 will be hidden In Marathon unlocked after 500 hours gameplay. Or not!

[magic leaf]

dont let me catch u lackin in the tower while i have rpg

[timber breach]

500 hours with 200 hours in queue because level based matchmaking

[celest raft]

I think a cause of that might be from the fact there's only one map and there's no real way to judge the rarity of loot yet

[red dune]

Games that doesn't have risk, most particularly extraction shooters is hard the cell I have to guess. If there's no risk, then it's kind of hard to make it interesting. Sure, Tarkov is not easy because one mistake or one bullet in the head means you're done for, but everyone is on the same level of permanent death

[timber breach]

RPG? This ain't the finals dawg 😭 I'll be up there with a jupiter

[modern hatch]

People saying this games already dead when 95% of people in the server can’t even play btw 🥀💔

[red dune]

Isn't there other maps that's coming?

[celest raft]

there oughta be lmao

[timber breach]

there's "outpost" as the third map that's all tho

[celest raft]

that's the least I could hope for with this game presently

[echo herald]

Forget about the doomers! Game is not out yet, no final judgement allowed

[timber breach]

marathon's ship map comes post launch, and im willing to bet that itll be a long time before we see it

[magic leaf]

They made it so pvp is ability based and that ruins that vanilla survival essence

[celest raft]

sadly to say....

[celest raft]

I don't wanna sound like a purist but I agree that extraction shooters should stay as a genre that remains mostly tactical and survival based in nature

[red dune]

There's one that is close range, and the marathon that the devs claim that should have raid-like mechanics. But frankly, I want to see how will it even hold up and if they can deliver

[mild bronze]

Why is the alpha US only

[true lava]

Sounds like you might prefer to play Tarkov then

[magic leaf]

wait, u telling me I cant place a mine on a canister and send it into ur chest 😟

[tacit glade]

ask the devs or something

[echo herald]

Probably because of servers location

[celest raft]

I don't wanna look at spreadsheets and maps all day, no second monitor, and I don't like cheaters but I like pvp.

[red dune]

It's made that way, but beta is coming

[timber breach]

It lives off of thrill of knowing/not knowing who's watching you and if you'll make it out alive. PvP is what makes the game so fun, but forced PvP ruins it and makes it an arena shooter feeling/BR feeling. There's a lot of variable to tweak around, but some may not enjoy some cogs turned

[mild bronze]

True

[magic leaf]

Im so glad that we agree on that

[red dune]

You don't feel safe until you hear a bullet flying past your head and all the sudden, shit happens

[timber breach]

Honestly there might be some weird mechanics like that in Arc 😂 Like attaching sticky snapblast grenades to teammates and making them run into the enemy squad 😂

[true lava]

If you like PVP then marathon should be good for u bc its so PvP focused compared to other extraction games

[celest raft]

extraction shooters should almost be like a sandbox in a way

[magic leaf]

Inshallah

[kindred rapids]

It's a dopamine trap

[celest raft]

you shouldn't have to fight players, stealth and talking your way out of things should always be an option, PvE should be a consideration at minimum

[kindred rapids]

It brings you down, just to suddenly bring you up and sink it's claws deeper into you

[magic leaf]

I know some veterans who play tarkov because it helps them stay mentally tactical

[celest raft]

its almost too much so

Arc was really good in that way, both the players AND enemy AI could really fuck me up

[true lava]

Oh that’s fair then, I don’t mind how much PvP there is I just think they need to tweak some stuff

[magic leaf]

but it feels like ur playing a high quality roblox game

[celest raft]

not that Marathon's AI is braindead

[kindred rapids]

It works on the same principle as social media do. Fill someone up with negativity and then give them something cool and they will get blindsided.

[small drum]

Can someone please tell me where the hell the Bottany report is in Perimeter Station? I was there but had no icon to help see where it was.
Thx

[timber breach]

Not braindead, but doesn't have that much personality

[celest raft]

holy shit someone actually talked about the game

the gameplay

in the chat

[magic leaf]

this shit aint relevant at all, the alpha is literally the base game without the bells and whistles, its going to look the same

[timber breach]

The only visual thing differentiating enemies is a cuboid shield and a minigun

[celest raft]

it's been hours

[tacit glade]

idk man i aint got access to the game

[timber breach]

no. we go back to arc. return back to speranza raider

[echo herald]

I just want Marathon to look more like promotion art and teaser videos. More vibrant, pop art colors. Right now lighting and fog makes it look like 50 shades of grey!

[true lava]

Sure man, sounds like you’re just a hater then lmao

[celest raft]

its still installed 💔

[magic leaf]

Its memes like this that seal the fate, ironic

[timber breach]

not gonna happen, they changed the art style a few years ago

[tacit glade]

wtfym

[timber breach]

the entire director changed bruh , company politics in play :C

[celest raft]

the last round I played of Arc I ran to the center of the map while VOIPing "What a Wonderful World" the whole time lmao

[true lava]

Imma wait to judge until open beta

[celest raft]

and just shooting the whole time up into the air

thats foul

[true lava]

Again, hater!

[timber breach]

my friend was making friends, they made like 7 friends in solo run and started dancing and shooting flares and singing, what a time to be alive to experience arc raiders

[round onyx]

make a solo only q double down on the class systems and make the movement faster go the apex route with skill expression heavy and remove the aa on mnk and drop the stamina bar

[magic leaf]

denial denial, theres a river called the nial

[true lava]

Very cool your feedback is: arc raiders is so much better omg

[tacit glade]

not doechii 💀

[celest osprey]

Im just here to say I miss the finals

[celest raft]

I ran into one guy at the dome on Dam and we chilled for a bit and shot some wasps and then he blew me up lmao

[tacit glade]

i dont like arc raiders, havent played marathon
i dont really know what to think yet lmao

[echo herald]

It s still early brothers! We need to believe!!!!

[celest raft]

at like the very end

[red dune]

Voice chat or proximity chat makes it fun

[magic leaf]

Where have I said that, please show me

[tacit glade]

the fact that some people shit on marathon when for na it's like 5-7 am, i assume you either never played the alpha or you haave insomnia

[magic leaf]

W mans

[celest raft]

how do you extract in Marathon?

[timber breach]

according to the rumours, the old director's work was stripped and the new director who was more experienced in past hero shooters took over and changed up the previous director's work and stuff. and the recent art style change has APPARENTLY caused a lot of chaos in the dev cycle because it's a lot to change gameplay wise and art style wise. idk how much of this is true, nor do i care really but the only truth is that it officially did change from "graphic realism" to 'graphic simplified'

[magic leaf]

30 hours on the alpha and I'll never put another minute on the game :)

[timber breach]

u put usb in the tower wee woo wee woo

[echo herald]

Forget doomers! We need to wait !

[true lava]

So leave?

[tacit glade]

that already sounds like you put enough time into the game

[west sable]

this guy got a code and i didnt

[celest raft]

reminds me of Tron lol

[red dune]

This is why I prefer to play the game first then make my opinion...

[timber breach]

tron if it was made by an indie company

[magic leaf]

No, I think im entitled to share my opinion here, since I recieved a alpha code :D

[true lava]

SUCKS that they are giving clowns codes

[tacit glade]

you played all there is for a closed alpha with limited content

[celest raft]

theres gonna be a new Tron movie actually

[timber breach]

stay here for arc raiders talk 🗣️

[true lava]

This guy gets it

[tacit glade]

cant wait for the NIN soundtrack

[magic leaf]

doing you a favor lil bro, shit does not deliver

[timber breach]

looks really good, cant wait!

[true lava]

Ew bruh keep that to their discord (oh wait it’s dead)

[west sable]

garuntee you im big bro

[celest raft]

I wanna experience the mid for myself

also I will say that I just love looking at this game if nothing else

[magic leaf]

some shit lil bro would say

[analog ember]

anyone have key for this game ?

[west sable]

size it up then in the dms

[round onyx]

solo only q when?

[true lava]

Lil bro would sit here and yap about a game he hates at 7 am such a loser 😭

[magic leaf]

I will give the merit of its visuals

[timber breach]

it's a vertical slice, meaning that you're experiencing all the core mechanics of the ice berg, which means just imagine this but more content. even with more content, the mecahnics are shallow as fuck, what are you gonna add more weapons, more enemy types, more faction unlocks, more black market unlocks,... bug fixing... still not what im expecting at all lol

[west sable]

🤓

[echo herald]

Let me in!

[celest raft]

I liked the short that was directed by the guy from Love Death and Robots too, that went pretty hard

[magic leaf]

LOL I'm a cloud consultant on night shift

[kindred rapids]

Reminder that the new director was THE GAME DIRECTOR for Valorant

[west sable]

🦗

[tacit glade]

hang in there bro, it's almost over

[celest raft]

ARGs are cool too

but focus on the game more plz

[timber breach]

spent 86% of their budget there fr fr ong

[analog ember]

idk arc raiders came for 5 days and almost everyone got key this game cant anyone have keys

[west sable]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-lick-tongue-squidward-krusty-krab-gif-4961023863861502206

[tacit glade]

marathon playtest waasnt global

[celest raft]

yeah im refreshing my email and I've gotten nothing

[magic leaf]

I got 3 hours and my espresso machine Im gooood

[west sable]

click it

[true lava]

Hopefully more keys today but if not hopefully open beta not too long

[tacit glade]

and they were picky with their invites ig

[celest raft]

idk why it almost seems like they want LESS players for the playtest bc they don't want people seeing it lmao

[analog ember]

also arc raiders wasnt global

[magic leaf]

You're 2 weeks late dawg

[tacit glade]

it was

[timber breach]

yeah i gave a lot of strong feedback, but still, even if they perfect gunplayu and whats currently in game, it still sucks that the game is very shallow at its core and that's something that was already designed years ago

[celest raft]

its not a good look

[strong mortar]

if they wanted fewer people to see it they would have kept the NDA

[echo herald]

Bungie don t forget me when you open in Asia!

[magic leaf]

did anyone shit on your feedback

[analog ember]

the game is trash tho

[true lava]

I’m waiting to judge until the beta build

[timber breach]

all i got was "its just an alpha" 🤓 comments

[true lava]

Yea and that’s not wrong dawg

[magic leaf]

yeah, that seems to be the only defense

[timber breach]

welp, we'll see

[true lava]

If you hate the entire everything about the game, gtfo it ain’t for u

[echo herald]

Let me run !

[analog ember]

arc raiders was alpha also but feels complete game

[celest raft]

if I can run Arc Raiders, could I run Helldivers? 🤔

[strong mortar]

IT's just an AlPhA is such a shit excuse. if the bones are bad the bones are bad

[timber breach]

i mean i got 45h in it, and thanks for telling me to get out 😉

[magic leaf]

Bro you need to just chillax, chillll

[timber breach]

WORD FOR WORD BRO ONG

[true lava]

Sounds like the game isn’t for u ❤️

[tacit glade]

at the same time, i remember shitting on bf2042 beta and all they were saying is "oh it;s an alpha build from 6 months ago" and "it's gonna be fixed on launch" - so i do have concerns regarding marathon but i gotta play it first tho

[magic leaf]

Shit aint for u either, I dont see your alpha code

[strong mortar]

I have like 40 hours, it's alright. I kinda like it, but it feels hollow

[celest raft]

who will the game be for then

legitimate question

[true lava]

Can you read my profile? I got access and have played like 30 hours

[magic leaf]

Bingo

[analog ember]

like big studio with all that they made trash game on alpha small studio who made arc raiders have better game such shame

[timber breach]

if the bones are bad the bones are bad
realest take ever. this is what ive been saying, it's not about what's in the alpha content wise, it's about the core functional mechanics. and again this feedback only applies CUZ WE'RE 5 MONTHS AWAY. if this was 1 year till release id be like yeah cool its just an alpha

[mellow fjord]

There's a difference between hating for the sake of hating, and hating because they want the game to be better or wished it would have been better

[echo herald]

Plot Twist, marathon is not the real game, it s only the pvp of Destiny 3 Multiverse

[magic leaf]

nah cuz I could care less, give me 5 reasons this game is good

[timber breach]

"its a 2 month old build bro trust 🙏 "
that's what they said for 2042 too

[magic leaf]

dont make me drop my feedback paragraphs in here again

[celest raft]

I want to like Marathon im not saying that as a cope or anything I was excited for this game when I saw the trailer

[true lava]

How bout I don’t care because you hate the game 😭 why would I waste my time explaining it to a hater

[magic leaf]

Marathon is better as a movie concept than a video game

[tacit glade]

if feedback is really that bad, we might probably get an another delay right

[analog ember]

because the marketing team deserves better place

[magic leaf]

lil bro, hate is a strong word, not once have I ever said that

[true lava]

Also anyone who doesn’t have a code has 0 input

[timber breach]

Hey I've given my feedback in surveys, I'm harsh* on the game because I want it to be better, not saying this game should die right now alright

[echo herald]

Doomers will always call for Doomsday! Forget about it

[kindred rapids]

give feedback!!
we don't want your feedback actually
like no offense, but that's just silly

[magic leaf]

Exactly, so the feedback doesn't mean shit because the game sucks

[true lava]

OR you can wait to see the open beta and if you still hate it, that’s fine

[mellow fjord]

I have been dropping it because I really wanted this game to be something good, but again people are just defending it blindly which is not good for the game, we have to hate the state that the game is in rn and be harsh instead of defending it

[round onyx]

solo only q plz

[timber breach]

You don't get to decide when a player gives an opinion or not

[celest raft]

yeah like I think what I've seen is mid but calling this Concord 2 is also kind of insane tho

[true lava]

Yes but I think anyone judging now and not on an open beta build has 0 brain cells and is borderline intellectually disabled

[strong mortar]

good take. the game is mid

[celest raft]

at least this looks good, Concord did NOT look good

[timber breach]

Issa playable game and fun tbh

[celest raft]

the problem is that being mid is basically worse than being bad, as a game in 2025

[kindred rapids]

I can't say whether I've seen it because I don't really pay attention to people's usernames

[timber breach]

I would've played more if Arc didn't happen in the middle tbh, but 45h in 4 days is a lot right

[strong mortar]

true. all my homies i play this with are like "yeah it's alright, but it's not gonna live more than a year"

[analog ember]

in my opinion arc raiders proves that even in alpha you could do good game not like marthon trash ROBLOX virsion

[strong mortar]

seek professional help

[true lava]

Arc was dog water in their alpha what?

[timber breach]

Judging now is completely valid imo. 5 months from release is very close. You know 5 months before release most development projects go into final testings not gather feedback about core mechanics 💀 this is a rushed project

[celest raft]

@true lava did you play the new tech test from last week

[strong mortar]

arc alpha has prox chat

[analog ember]

still better than marthon

[true lava]

Arc alpha was horrible it was 2 years ago

[mellow fjord]

Sadly a mid just good game ain't gonna cut it, plus extraction shooters are too niche and when you're trying to attract new players to that genre then mid is not enough, I heard people that have never tried extraction shooters prefer Arc Raiders and marathon should do the same

[celest raft]

im just asking

[timber breach]

Honestly idc about Arc in this specific sonversation, even without Arc, Marathon is still disappointing

[true lava]

Arc is dead in 2 weeks when the streamer sponsors run out 😭 brown UE5 rust simulator

[timber breach]

2 years ago 😭

[strong mortar]

The bad solo experience needs fixed somehow. If this is a game I can ONLY play when i can get 2 other friends on then this isn't a game im gonna play for long

[timber breach]

how can you give feedback on a game build 2 years ago but you cant understand criticism about a live build

[true lava]

If you loved concord , you’ll LOVE arc

[celest raft]

yeah it doesn't have anything that really DEFINES it mechanically or in a gameplay sense, thats the thing

Tarkov has the flea market and gun customization, hideout, rpg mechanics
Hunt has the bounties and perks
DnD has different classes and perks/skills

[magic leaf]

DENIAL IS NOT A RIVER IN EGYPT

[timber breach]

"arc alpha was shit but also dont talk shit about marathon pwease"

[ember mountain]

bby you do care

[analog ember]

but marthon is dead before the relase

[celest raft]

what does this game have that applies in that way besides a few Apex legends characters

[celest raft]

lets be deadass

[timber breach]

Naw, cuz for me Marathon is not like Arc at all, Arc is definitely more social and Marathon is a literal shooter in the heart

[true lava]

Yea I have 0 interest in arc

[celest raft]

Arc has different skill trees with at least a couple of different skills for each tier, different augments, crafting

[strong mortar]

get real man. One of the things we're giving feedback on is the core gameplay loop. the core loop is mid

[true lava]

That’s fine, put it in the survey feedback and wait for beta

[analog ember]

studio that big on alpha could make better game than Roblox extraction

[mellow fjord]

Marathon looked at tarkov and said "let's water it down and remove all the friction" boom match we got marathon a game not for casuals or hardcore players

[celest raft]

Mods, put him in the peeler from Kenshi please, thanks

[frail sphinx]

Joined a match where my team were the only players

[mellow fjord]

Nile river

[true lava]

How is marathon not for casuals, feels casual to me?

[celest raft]

lets make the ttk as long as possible

remove ALL tension from gameplay, and then add hero shooter characters on top

[timber breach]

That's fine, doesn't matter to me

[strong mortar]

and I have 0 interest in your opinion because your IQ is like max 75

[echo herald]

You cannot say that, there was sponsors on both games. Streamer continue to stream arc after while marathon they didn't. I m all to praise Marathon but we cannot use lie as defense

[timber breach]

Though you saying "Arc's alpha (which was in 2023) was shit" doesn't mean shit cuz this is 2025 baby and things changed

[hearty wave]

The servers are still up or they turned it off?

[mellow fjord]

And imagine if you got a purple or gold shield 💀

[plain patrol]

If that's true then marathon needs to be delayed

[timber breach]

Apparently streamers were only sponsored for day 1

[analog ember]

and after all that failure they want to make it for 40$ bro i dont buy it for 10$

[celest raft]

I don't wanna be that guy but I am struggling my hardest rn to not say something like Apexslop

granted, Arc has the same watered down shield system

[wraith phoenix]

im playing literally at this moment so it's working!

[mellow fjord]

Marathon never gave me that butt clenching moments (I'm talking about just watching both games)

[timber breach]

I'd play Marathon if it was F2P ngl

[true lava]

Nice bro resorting to random insults is super constructive

[celest raft]

hopefully shield swapping doesn't become meta in both smfh

[polar flame]

only usa/canada can play in marathon test?

[celest raft]

Arc's TTK is short enough for that for me

[timber breach]

IKR, my butt was dry the whole time
I like extraction shooters which make me shit ma pants

[remote flume]

lemme in

[strong cobalt]

im gonna crash out marathon couldve had sm potential if it wasnt for this hero system

[timber breach]

Nah, I'd go invisible

[true lava]

Yea I hope they change the hero system but they probably won’t

[timber breach]

Just press G for a full AOE scan with wallhacks lil bro 😭 🙏

[celest raft]

am I insane for the Apex Legends comparisons, anyone who's played

[analog ember]

what i realized is their marketing team deserve better place

[strong mortar]

kinda? i think the only problematic characters are void and BB. the other 2 are just movement which is cool and not OP

[celest raft]

it contradicts what an extraction shooter is and should be

it doesn't rely on what you bring into a raid and lose

[timber breach]

going invisible and being able to ADS while invis is insane

[echo herald]

Let's dance! Even Tarkov will be adding dance emotes

[timber breach]

Look at me going!
Yeah drop the beat!

[strong mortar]

and wallhax in the game where info is everything is also insane

[celest raft]

do you think that they should also add storm circles to Marathon

[strong cobalt]

because there first original plans in the vidoc were like crazily good like its what spiked that hype for me personally and now theyve changed it up sm and its js disappointing marathon lost half of its players on the second day of the alpha

[timber breach]

games giving away free info - man its just horrible design choices ngl, cheap asf. no matter the cooldown or whatever it is

[mellow fjord]

Listen I have not played both, so I'm just talking from a viewer's perspective, ik when a game is good or not I'm not dumb and I played lots of games throughout my life the good and the bad, and when I look at marathon I just don't get excited enough

[analog ember]

they should delete the game and make new game

[celest raft]

the only one I can think of that does that whatsoever is Dark n Darker which is a fringe case

[echo herald]

Don t say that! Come on

[strong mortar]

mara is definitely more fun to play than to watch, but it's by no means great

[ember mountain]

Lmfao

[true lava]

That’s what I’m saying bro

[analog ember]

does that hurts you ?

[kindred rapids]

It very much is like Apex in a lot of ways

[strong cobalt]

well they definetly need to change the hero system as whoever came up with it ruined the concept entirely

[strong mortar]

"to test the gameplay loop"
bro the gameplay loop is mid that's what we've been trying to get through your thick skulls

[timber breach]

for some reason no one's using the "its just a tech test" excuse for arc huh 🤔

[celest raft]

this is entire image is composed of 99.99 pure copium im ngl

[kindred rapids]

I've seen a lot of people compare it to Apex Legends in gameplay

[mellow fjord]

Hell yeah, and the whole ttk thingy and you can revive after your teammates die is just eh? Like where's the tension shitting my pants part?

[cunning shadow]

Its in Arc

[celest raft]

just because the game is in alpha doesn't mean that no judgements should be drawn from it, or we wouldn't be playing it ffs

[echo herald]

No, but no need to be over dramatic! We wouldn't be there if we were not interested in Marathon

[true lava]

Honestly it’s a better attitude that having 99% of your opinion made of hatred

[timber breach]

Me when the Arc drone is making spooky angy noises at me while I'm dodging and weaving like fucking crazy feels like a movie

[celest raft]

did I not say earlier that I want to like this game

[mellow fjord]

I know ofc it's gonna be fun to play more than just watching but I don't think the difference is gonna be that huge

[strong cobalt]

literally in the vidoc we’re given promised with so much tension and then we’re js given the opposite

[celest raft]

im providing constructive criticism, not mindlessly shitting on it

[analog ember]

who cares arc will success more than marthon

[mossy night]

https://youtu.be/YA0mihSW9zA?si=mntqbAuU7K7I0CP9

[tribal spade]

you cant do that in Arc. you can get them back up, but if they die, they are gone

[true lava]

If you think that’s true 🤭

[cunning shadow]

Bro why you keep spamming that, seriously, most of the players have valid reasons bro cope harder ig

[ember mountain]

So you don’t know what an alpha is

[analog ember]

i will remember you and remind you of that

[cunning shadow]

I was talking about the shitting your pants part

[celest raft]

I know people have played alphas that are probably much better

[echo herald]

Delta Force shows there is a possibility to make it work but it will need some much balancing. Which is hard ngl

[tribal spade]

gotcha

[strong mortar]

alpha is a test of the core gameplay loop. verdict is core gameplay loop is mid

[celest raft]

within 3 years of a game's announcement/release

[true lava]

There are 500k people in this discord and 16k in the arc discord

[mellow fjord]

Yeah, and more customization and runners will be able to express themselves with their play style (pffft yeah sure I'm gonna be experiencing myself a lot playing the same hero)

[cunning shadow]

Yeah these guys dont want to hear it, they’re defending a glass fortress

[ember mountain]

But YOU don’t play them lol

[strong cobalt]

balancing wouldnt of been needed if they literally sticked with their original plans through the vidoc why on earth do we have like destiny status effects

[ember mountain]

It’s supposed to be

[strong mortar]

i have

[true lava]

We haven’t had a new bungie IP in 10 years and people don’t think this will be extremely popular on launch

[echo herald]

Once again don t use lies. There is something like 80k in arc discord

[celest raft]

who's to say I haven't

I haven't played Marathon yet but what im hearing doesn't excite me

I played Bodycam's playtest and that was pretty fun

[true lava]

I was told 16k but I’m not in that discord, still 80k way smaller than 500k

[timber breach]

The issue isn't that it's an alpha, the issue is that they have 5 months, and remember they're gonna do a beta 1 month before release, meaning that beta is just a pure marketing beta not a real beta. So they have 4 months really lol

[ember mountain]

Oh you can shut up then

[strong mortar]

Arc has 4x the viewership on twitch that marathon has ATM

[tribal spade]

with the feedback im seeing from people that got to play the beta, i doubt it

[echo herald]

HypeR stop using lies or checks your facts, you are not helping the cause by doing so!

[true lava]

Brother tf you talking about

[strong cobalt]

i think what annoys me the most is the games literally js strafing towards any other hero shooter game like everybody is gonna look the same and that js makes it so like boring

[timber breach]

HypeR copium

[cunning shadow]

have you considered exiting the conversation, if you’re so uptight about the critical hits why stay and watch as your game burns

[stable lark]

Played ARC for 16 hours and I really don't get what is supposed to be better about it.

[celest raft]

im just asking what makes Marathon stand out right now over any other extraction shooter

[echo herald]

Of course it is but we need to use real facts ! No fake news allowed

[true lava]

It’s not people are salty as hell

[timber breach]

Don't make comparisons just enjoy each game as they are ig

[echo herald]

Drop the beat!

[timber breach]

If you're playing Arc just to compare it to a game then you're not gonna end up enjoying something for what it is

[cunning shadow]

Brother i feel so terribly bad for you that it bothers you that much

[timber breach]

Look at me going! 💃

[strong cobalt]

literally ill just end up playing tarkov more then i do marathon

[true lava]

Tarkov in 25 😭😭😭

[strong mortar]

tarkov has prox chat

[timber breach]

I don't play games that are older than 4 months sorry 😭

[celest raft]

its not the best extraction shooter by any means but I like that its like Hunt in that it respects your time and you can get a lot from just playing like 15 mins, still make some progress even if you die

[timber breach]

If the game isn't trending on twitch I'm not playing

[echo herald]

Tarkov before GTA6.

[cunning shadow]

Furball cant cope 😔

[tribal spade]

i dont understand why people are against proxy chat lol

[true lava]

I honestly don’t think proxy chat belongs in marathon but alr

[cunning shadow]

cope harder

[timber breach]

Yeah marathon doesn't need one

[strong mortar]

everyone wants it, and everyone except bungie can implement it

[celest raft]

I don't think its a necessity but I don't mind it personally

[echo herald]

No Fun allowed !!!!

[timber breach]

Bro you're not gonna have enough time to use prox chat in a game like Marathon lmao

[true lava]

I don’t need goobers yelling at me or mic spamming in prox chat lol

[slender lintel]

I wouldn’t mind it

[timber breach]

What are you gonna do with prox chat "Hey, don't shoot" > 2 seconds later > dead

[celest raft]

you'd be able to turn it off if it were implemented as it should be

like in Arc

[mellow fjord]

Look, that's how I wanted the game to be and that's the third time I send it

The only feedback I'm gonna give for the game rn is go back to the old roots in the first vod or whatever they said players would be able to express their play style with the way they customize their runners and stuff, and I'm talking like making classes and the only thing that makes these classes different is their base HP and their movement speed and passive abilities that they have before even starting a run and you can lose it (example: supp class can heal by themselves when they take damage over time) and when you go into a run you can get abilities for every class and after you use this abilities and put them to use if you die you lose this abilities (you got void invisibility and it's a legendary ability and if you die you lose it and will have to use other abilities for the stealth class) and you can upgrade your passive permanent abilities through contracts and factions... Yeah that's it

[stable lark]

Marathon is really big on being PvP 100% of the time and I think that is fine

[silk swift]

Prox chat makes it immersive and allows for creative emergent gameplay. If u dont like it turn it off

[strong mortar]

i could recite the entirety of the odysey in the time it takes to kill someone in this game fuck you mean there's no time to use prox chat

[echo herald]

We are here to sweat! It s called Marathon !!

[silk swift]

Collaboration allows for human moments? If you dont like prox chat just say you’re antisocial

[ember mountain]

Well why would an alpha compare to completed games????

[slender lintel]

Cope 😭

[mellow fjord]

@lean parrot comon bro what's wrong with a little bit of reading? :c

[celest raft]

Tarkov isn't completed /j

in their alphas, I mean.

[timber breach]

In this pvp hungry game idek bro, it's just mindless pvp half the time lol, unless you're engaging inside a building while enemy is outside, the fight will be over very soon and there's no reason not to fight and be friendly either

[cunning shadow]

Oh my lord deleted bc trueeee 😭😭

[tribal spade]

yea that was pretty crazy

[echo herald]

Are we escaping Tarkov ?

[ember mountain]

Not reading all that btw

[indigo bolt]

🫃

[mellow fjord]

Guysss it's good :c

[celest raft]

in general, when Marathon is out, what will stand out about it compared to Hunt or Tarkov or DnD

[strong mortar]

this gmae is pvp hungry because there's no other option currently

[ember mountain]

Huh? bruh it’s been out for years

[celest raft]

what is its catch, the thing that hooks people, outside of visuals and a brand marketed solely on its image

[cunning shadow]

Titanfall2 had better extractions than this 😭😭😭

[rigid crown]

going to impregnate bungie if they dont give me a code

[celest raft]

not in 1.0........

[strong mortar]

game is called escape from tarkov
10 years in you still can't escape
it's not finished LMAO

[stable lark]

probably the really cool story and endgame content

[slender lintel]

It’ll be easier to get into

[echo herald]

Ubisoft working on a new extract shooter! let's gooooo

[celest raft]

Hunt is easy to get into as is, so is Arc.

[rigid crown]

it will be a complete shit show

[celest raft]

thats not enough

[slender lintel]

Idk anybody who plays Hunt

[rocky saffron]

Marathon Devs were busy playing and studying arc

[celest raft]

10k players rn

[slender lintel]

Arc seems too slow, and no release date

[strong mortar]

the fact that it gets half as many frames per second

[tribal spade]

ahh shit here we go again

[ember mountain]

That doesn’t make sense why would an alpha compare to completed games

[celest raft]

not at its best tbh

[slender lintel]

That’s cool

[true epoch]

💀

[celest raft]

its dying a bit, sadly, ngl

[radiant terrace]

Hunt is not easy to get into lol it's more approachable than Tarkov but that game filtered me with all the bs it throws at you

[last blade]

I was so pumped for Marathon but hate to say that ARC Raiders has stole my heart… that game is so good that I’m honestly not even excited about Marathon anymore and I’ve been a Bungie fan since the first Halo 😞

[cunning shadow]

Rainbow Siege X is also releasing mid summer, oof this game feeling more dire as yall pull at threads that are barely there

[ember mountain]

Comparing an alpha btw kinda crazy

[strong mortar]

i wish i could like arc, but 3rd person games don't vibe w/ me

[echo herald]

PUBG working on a extract shooter! Let'gooooooo

[celest raft]

I wouldn't say its necessarily easy OR hard to pick up

[slender lintel]

Bro said R6X 😂😂😂😂

[tribal spade]

that was my only gripe, 3rd person is wack. but everything else makes up for it

[celest raft]

Im talking about mechanically, in terms of the actual gameplay systems, what makes Marathon unique regardless of alpha or not

[ember mountain]

Bro these bums are really trying to compare THE ALPHA to a game that’s already been released for years 😭😭😭

[celest raft]

you're dodging the question bro 💀

[cunning shadow]

shit aint unique, valorant literally fathered this games abilities

[celest raft]

and Apex

[slender lintel]

Its gameplay

[echo herald]

I was the same, I think rivals helped me to enjoy 3rd person shooters

[last blade]

I usually like first person better but after playing it I honestly think third person is best for the genre

[celest raft]

"it insists upon itself" ass answer

[silent tangle]

it is 7:40 guys stop it

[ember mountain]

I’ll answer this when the game releases

[slender lintel]

It’s the troof

[silent tangle]

Go to sleep

[radiant terrace]

Nah we terminally online in this bitch

[celest raft]

what about the gameplay

specfically

[silent tangle]

I guess that explains the mpreg actually

[pseudo peak]

its like the bare bones ass skeleton of a game that we playing rn do ppl forget this orrrr lol

[cunning shadow]

i cant wait to laugh after this games out

[mellow fjord]

When do usually games release their alpha? Because an alpha before the game releases in 4 months is wild

[slender lintel]

The gameplay itself, literally the movement and gunplay

[cunning shadow]

Bad bones is bad bones

[celest raft]

why

[radiant terrace]

It's the other way around I'm terminally online FOR the mpreg

[strong mortar]

If someone has scoliosis you can tell by the skeleton. If the bones are bad the bones are bad

[slender lintel]

Cus it is

[cunning shadow]

What about the wasd directional movement makes it unique

[tribal spade]

Honestly people who defend marathon dont even have a valid reason to defend it lol

[radiant terrace]

Art style, IP, bungie are devs that people like, i could go on

[cunning shadow]

sit and watch 🍿

[slender lintel]

I do cause I love it 🤨😂

[tribal spade]

was planning on it😂

[radiant terrace]

I've got 15 hours in the alpha and I've loved it so far as a solo player

[celest raft]

outside of the visuals

yeah

[tribal spade]

please do go on

[ember mountain]

Not gears of war?

[abstract python]

if we euros dont get codes in the next 3 days im gonna impregnate a tree

[celest raft]

"like"

[brave hinge]

Of course they do, come on. "THESE PEOPLE MADE DESTINY ffs."

[plain patrol]

art style is what marathon has going for it, it's innovative

[radiant terrace]

Nah I'm just interested in a generational game studio. Every IP they've released has been generational and propped up entire genres

[ember mountain]

Bunch of kids in here

[echo herald]

Pc wise

[lament forum]

not enough pregnant men up in this chat

[icy elk]

is it to late to get a beta key?

[slender lintel]

Fighting demons in your head 😂😂

[radiant terrace]

Yes

[pseudo peak]

i just defend it when people say "dead on arrival already shit tier its gonna fail" when we havent seen anything anywhere near final and a lot will change, i never said it was perfect or gonna be genre breaking bc we all know its not, just when people jump to conclusions that extreme after a core functionality alpha it seems kinda silly imo

[echo herald]

Played geras on PS 🤣

[celest raft]

"This is where I'd state my opinion on Marathon's gameplay" outside of what I've seen and heard*

"IF I COULD FORM ONE!"

[abstract python]

we need to impregnate everyone that says they want a key

[ember mountain]

Alr

[tribal spade]

still waiting for a good reason

[timber breach]

Mega copium, insane even, 101%

[radiant terrace]

Tactile gunplay, engaging atmosphere, interesting story/setting, the character designs are interesting (imo), i like the stealth gameplay of solos

[brave hinge]

Lol nah, not even worth it for this one. As much as I love Halo and Destiny, Bungie flopped hard on this one.

[strong mortar]

The point people are trying to make is that 5 months is not enough time to make as many changes as this game needs in order to be successful.

[ember mountain]

Go get a Xbox S it’s 300

[mellow fjord]

Don't forget some of ex Bungie devs are the same people who thought concord was a good idea, just because they're Bungie devs then that means the game is good, it sounds more like pp riding

[slender lintel]

“Successful” lol 😂

[ember mountain]

Vanguard was made in 8 months

[true lava]

Anyone who thinks this game isn’t opening to 100k players is delusional

[celest raft]

you have to be fucking joking

[radiant terrace]

No one gives a fuck bro I'm here bc i like Halo and destiny is fun to shoot enemies, I'm giving them a chance bc literally no other studio has as many hits per swings as Bungie does and that is inherently interesting idgaf about concord

[true lava]

It’s a bungie original IP, all the D2 players will play it on launch

[pseudo peak]

my main point is just give em a bit of a chance to show the better stuff before losing our minds lol, i know its not perfect ive been playing it for like 130h im well aware lol im jus saying we dont gotta lose our minds yet

[tribal spade]

he's the delusional he's talking about

[celest raft]

Insert Omni Man "ARE YOU SURE" here

[abstract python]

its opening to 200k, because there are so many pregnant people here by now

[slender lintel]

If it comes out before 🤨

[ember mountain]

Dude the alpha was 3 months behind the current main build that’s why it’s an alpha and not a beta

[wind sage]

Is there a time when this chat is not active just interesting

[brave hinge]

Concord didn't, not sure this Roblox mod has enough staying power to keep all of them even if it did.

[strong mortar]

maybe it opens to 100k, but if the player trend from alpha plays out in the release it'll be down to a couple thousand within 2 weeks

[true lava]

Do you know how insanely popular D2 has been over the last 10 years, like it’s going to pull numbers first day no matter what

[celest raft]

Arc Raiders is read only so

[pseudo peak]

the alpha had more active players than concord ever did bruh cmon now

[ember mountain]

If they can get in

[true lava]

That’s totally fair, hoping for the best tho

[strong mortar]

d2 is bleeding players

[celest raft]

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW LITTLE THAT SAYS?!?!?!?!

[radiant terrace]

No this chat is for tasteless, gormless miscreants that need to waste their lives to feel productive (including myself)

[wind sage]

Nah 90% about marathon harassment

[rigid crown]

not fast enough i hope destiny 2 dies

[pseudo peak]

closed alpha vs full launch is quite different dawg

[slender lintel]

All games bleed players, especially if they’ve been out for 10 years 😂😂😂

[pseudo peak]

this is very very true the numbers are ABYSMAL

[strong mortar]

me 2 man, there's only so many melee whiffs I can take

[true lava]

I wonder why…

[tribal spade]

it'll pull numbers for like a week, after that it will gradually decline

[mellow fjord]

You like the game because the devs used to make good games? So you like it even if it's not that good 💀 (you're just weird at this point)

[abstract python]

guys, sekgen will impregnate you for free for the next 10 minutes if you join us

[rigid crown]

i just hate how microtransactiony that game became. no new content just a new FUCKING CROSSOVER IN EVERVERSE

[wind sage]

Huge

[slender lintel]

Cope 😂

[celest raft]

because tech test 2 just ended and they're scrubbing the channels and taking time to analyze the feedback....?

[true lava]

We will see brotha, I’m not gonna pretend to know what will happen and no one else should either

[mellow fjord]

50k on steamdb max maybe even less

[radiant terrace]

No im interested in their games because every single year since 2004 they've done something interesting stop being a chode-gargling mule

[last blade]

The alpha is still going on and viewership on Twitch is awful.. that says something

[strong mortar]

not 5 minutes ago you pretended to know how many players this game will have on launch

[mellow fjord]

Fr bro they are not helping the game or anything

[echo herald]

Let's have some faith sisters and brothers! It's a Marathon not a Sprint¡

[ember mountain]

W answer

[slender lintel]

Talking bout u brother 😂😂😂

[rigid crown]

all they care about is money

[ember mountain]

I think everyone should shut up and wait and see

[true lava]

I just think there’s no way it will not be popular on launch bc of how many people have played bungie games and the fact there hasn’t been a new bungie title in 10 years, people will buy it and try it I feel

[pseudo peak]

i mean most the main streamers are asleep atm as i think vast majority are NA, i could be wrong i havent really been watching the streams

[mellow fjord]

Interesting? Yeah writing the same kind of story in a different setting is really interesting 😭

[slender lintel]

WhT’s Fallen King

[echo herald]

Borderlands 5 is an extract shooter! NO WAY

[rigid crown]

destiny 1 dlc

[abstract python]

looter shooter but with pregnant men!!!

[tribal spade]

4 you mean?

[radiant terrace]

Bro why are you even here? Apparently marathon is boring and bungie sucks so why are you even in this chat right now?

[mellow fjord]

How am I coping?

[slender lintel]

You mean Taken King

[tacit glade]

no, 5

[strong mortar]

anyone with a code wanna squad up as 3? game is ass without 2 other players in cord w/ u

[last blade]

I think the only thing that will truly save the game is if they release a single player mode alongside the multiplayer that throws it back to the OG marathon

[slender lintel]

Forsaken > Taken King

[ember mountain]

🤣🤣🤣

[ember mountain]

No not even close

[slender lintel]

Delusional

[mellow fjord]

No marathon is my favorite ip from Bungie that's all, other than that the other games are just a different skin to marathon

[radiant terrace]

We should save Marathon by decarbonizing every person with an opinion

[timber breach]

Damn now you really revealed that you're a troll 😂
This whole time I thought you were serious

[radiant terrace]

So you like some washed up fps with no mouse look from the 90s? See i can be reductive and obtuse too

[slender lintel]

Lore books alone clears Taken King

[true lava]

Why wouldn’t it open to huge numbers as bungies first new IP in the last 10 years?

[abstract python]

everyone in this server will become pregnant in 10y

[pseudo peak]

ngl i agree and i think solo would be fun asf, ill mention it in the final feedback survey and see if others are for sure bc i know in internal tests there were solo only runs done and they were apparently v fun

[brave hinge]

They should have thought about this tbh, instead they pushed away the pve audience to Arc.

[strong mortar]

because bungie has trashed their reputation with how they treat destiny

[hollow thunder]

alpha ended?

[radiant terrace]

I wanna be pregnant NOW 🫃

[ember mountain]

He’s coping

[true lava]

Hey people still playing Tarkov right?

[celest raft]

Marathon alpha is still going iirc but no more invites

[strong mortar]

that's because it's a good game

[abstract python]

its a fact that i dug out of bungies basement

[echo herald]

Time to time, when I want to suffer

[hollow thunder]

alpha ends when?

[ember mountain]

60 people yeah

[slender lintel]

Bro thinks the gameplay is what made Marathon so popular for so long 😂😂😂

[radiant terrace]

Debatable

[celest raft]

okay I dunno if I'd say good game as much as I'd say a stockholm syndrome one

good in A lot of ways, horrible in others

[pseudo peak]

invites stopped friday, alpha ends tomorrow BUT today and tomorrow are going to have a lot of crashes bc of some testing theyre doing so a lot less ppl will prob play lol

[true lava]

Yea that’s what I’m saying tho, you tell all the D2 PVP people that a new PVP bungie game is coming out designed by the D1 PVP people, they will want to try it 100%

[radiant terrace]

I think it's been so long people are confused by what they really want from the IP. Given the stories of 1 and 2 (sorry infinity) I'm satisfied with what we have atm

[echo herald]

Scooby Doo Gang Extract shooter, releasing in 2027! Let's goooo

[brave hinge]

And still not stay after trying it.

[ember mountain]

LOL what a joke

[true lava]

I can almost promise you’ll try the open beta

[celest raft]

barely handing out keys for a game that operates on trios primarily, gigabrain lmao

[last blade]

Destiny PvP was nothing to write home about tbh

[timber breach]

Because not everyone buys games just because "it's Bungie". There are loyal fans, but not all of us are

[pseudo peak]

which bit? you got the role so you can check announcements if you dont believe me bruh

[radiant terrace]

This is what has killed their alpha so far. No one can play with their homies

[celest raft]

@true lava what are the queue times like rn

[mellow fjord]

Washed up? Do you even know the story of marathon? It's one of the greatest stories, dare I say better than halo and destiny

[true lava]

That’s what I’m saying tho, wait until the open beta to check it out and decide if you’ll buy it

[radiant terrace]

I was being deliberately rude lil bro that's why I said the second part.

[echo herald]

Imagine being a dev reading that chat! What an experience!

[slender lintel]

Solo player, don’t need no homies to play game

[radiant terrace]

I love the story of 1 and 2 (sorry infinity)

[brave hinge]

Try but not buy the game. A lot of people love Destiny and Halo but people don't trust modern day Bungie.

[pseudo peak]

i jus made homies and met some cool af ppl ngl

[radiant terrace]

🗣️

[true lava]

I’m not playing right now but yesterday it took me legit 1 minute to find raids, no joke

[celest raft]

better to try and have them course correct now then have the game possibly be DOA especially if Arc Raiders comes out first

[true lava]

I timed it on my phone

[echo herald]

Drop the beat !!!

[ember mountain]

I could spam you all day of PVP montages and you would be creaming your pants

[radiant terrace]

I've played enough that unless some big stupid thing happens I'm buying the game on launch (and probably two copies for some squadmates)

[pseudo peak]

destiny pvp was fun asf but they kinda let it fall off

[true lava]

The game will never be DOA, it might fall off but it will not be empty on launch lmao brother cmon

[echo herald]

Of course, smart devs will always look what the community is saying. Still the discord is wild!

[radiant terrace]

I genuinely think it'll start small and build into something huge like d1

[ember mountain]

It is

[celest raft]

Arc Raiders' test ending at 12:30 EST didn't help at all

[true lava]

I do too, exactly the same as D1 and D2

[mellow fjord]

30k on steamdb dropping to 10 or something

[ember mountain]

Idc

[last blade]

No, I was level 50/Onyx on multiple Halo games.. loved PvP on all the Bungie Halo games but played PvP on both Destiny games and hated it

PvE on Destiny was great though

[celest raft]

bro I was not talking to you

[radiant terrace]

Steamdb is totally accurate numbers for an internal test with limited codes and only one global region

[echo herald]

Sea of Thieves is an extract shooter! Think about it¡

[brave hinge]

I mean that's good, respect your opinion. But personally, it just doesn't feel like that much passion went into it.

[true lava]

Yea I’ve stopped responding to those people bc they don’t get it

[radiant terrace]

That's totally fair, just keep an eye on us if the game seems interesting because it might become something really special

[celest raft]

its not gonna be Concord 2 but I dont know if itll make Bungie much if any money or be sustainable

[pseudo peak]

i wanna give it a chance purely out of a bit of copium and also bc destiny 2 pvp is a lil chalked rn but i love how bungie do gunplay and marathon has the gunplay feel ygm

[ember mountain]

Yawn that means nothing I’m talking about PVP ONLY

[mellow fjord]

I'm talking about release bro

[true lava]

Like bro everyone remembers how 0 content D2 was for the first year, why would this not be able to do the exact same thing D2 did

[radiant terrace]

Ik they're trolling but I like to be mean to stupid people lol

[flat ice]

Proportions are accurate, if 90% of players drop your highly anticipated Alpha something's up. Doesn't matter if it's 100 or 100k invited testers.

[celest raft]

or DrDisrespect's, though that came out first I think

[tribal spade]

hopefully all the reception they are getting rn and onward will wake them up

[last blade]

I wonder if there will be a jump in players now that the arc play test is over

[mellow fjord]

It lasted more than concord tho

[celest raft]

they have time to backpedal on the hero shooter stuff

[echo herald]

Marathon launch will not be as concord! Come on guys! Let s be real

[verbal patrol]

i would hope they can afford a longterm plan all i know about bungie is their ceo's two hundred cars or something

[radiant terrace]

The sample size is literally too small to give any numbers BECAUSE IT WAS ONE REGION AND A CLOSED TEST. Go read a book I think you've forgotten how to use your brain

[ember mountain]

No it won’t

[celest raft]

this shit is why I want a roadmap for the game early access or not, because its live access

[flat ice]

Okay then, see you 2 weeks after launch

[pseudo peak]

they do feel v nice, im hoping bc they were v receptive of our recent feedback that there is maybe a chance. maybe. let me keep my copium mask on. (i only have one bc i personally had fun)

[ember mountain]

In the beta

[celest raft]

let me know what im buying into

[radiant terrace]

Don't test me bb I'll set a reminder on my phone and be the most annoying person you've ever met

[celest raft]

so they can't have a roadmap or timeline of what content they plan on adding?

[flat ice]

I can already tell you are, no need to prove it

[radiant terrace]

People with fully formed brains must seem annoying if you're literally a child :)

[pseudo temple]

Is the playtest still on

[pseudo peak]

yes till tomorrow

[slender lintel]

Does Arc Raiders have a roadmap

[ember mountain]

They will in beta

[flat ice]

Cultists have trouble seeing things outside their cult objectively, it happens

[celest raft]

Arc Raiders already has a wealth of content that people have expressed they've enjoyed

[ember mountain]

If you believe in the system it will work

[slender lintel]

But no roadmap

[strong mortar]

am i muted?

[verbal patrol]

roadmap would be nice regardless of what arc raiders is doing either way 😭

[slender lintel]

🤨

[radiant terrace]

It's not a cult when I'm perfectly critical of the game. You're in the opposite. A hate cult dedicated to wasting your time on shit you don't even care about

[celest raft]

they've also said what they're adding straight up iirc

[pseudo peak]

naw you good, but if you were responding to me then feel free to dm as well LOL

[celest raft]

more maps, more weapons, more ARC machines, events, etc

[strong mortar]

nah i got a warning and all my messages deleted because I called someone an idiot for putting a bug report for a windows bug in the feedback (not the bug report) channel

[last blade]

We wouldn’t be here if we didn’t care about the game

[ember mountain]

Arc is not call of duty it will have 5 maps and that’s it

[slender lintel]

That’s a given with any live service bro 😂😂😂

[timber breach]

Not confirmed lol

[umbral rune]

Mods are not very intelligent here

[flat ice]

See my message history, genius. Been hyped for it, been in the Reddit since announcement. You are literally coping about the game all day, but it's none of my business. By all means carry on

[pseudo peak]

LMFAO

[radiant terrace]

That would be fair if stupid people weren't using closed alpha player counts to extrapolate broad appeal

[timber breach]

Btw someone keeps saying arc will have 12 maps on release, that sounds so bullshit

[celest raft]

Marathon has one map after 3 years

[ember mountain]

It’s whatever I say it

[celest raft]

over, actually

[radiant terrace]

If you expect me to read your history then go read mine, I've been plenty critical I'm just not a miserable wretch

[timber breach]

i mean u make it sound like it "will have" when thats not true, its just misinformation, disinformation even

[radiant terrace]

Not one region tho (unless I'm ill informed)

[spare aspen]

Can’t speak for anyone else. All I know is I the alpha for 4 hours the day it went live and I haven’t had a desire to touch it since

[torn dirge]

Arc raiders was an amazing alpha, sad it’s over. But it’s okay because marathon playtest got extended and now I can- oh wait nvm, still no code

[timber breach]

arc's tech test was crossplay + eu/na/asia

[celest raft]

what in the goddamn

[rose lynx]

Lol

[celest raft]

COOK EM

[radiant terrace]

Completely agree. It's been the biggest issue with the alpha so far outside of the gameplay loop

[timber breach]

idk if you'd wanna go back to marathon after that lol

[tepid salmon]

Ya Bungie hates all of us

[celest raft]

im sure there will be no issues with the queue wait times either once I am in too

[timber breach]

also 2 friend codes after playing a few rounds 💀

[strong mortar]

TRUE. if bungie loved me they would nerf controller last word in the crucible

[last blade]

It matters though. In previous play tests for Bungie games the hype was crazy and most people that got access played down to the last minute. This one feels different, people are getting bored with the game and player count is dying off along with the terrible viewership on Twitch (most people want to watch games that they are hyped about.. the hype is not there anymore)

[true lava]

You’re telling me bungie says “okay open beta time, come try the game” and they aren’t going to pull absolutely massive numbers, there’s 400k in this discord

[ember mountain]

Because I believe in the system

[radiant terrace]

Previous tests weren't region locked lmao

[celest raft]

if they sent out codes those people actually would try it, and if it was outside of NA, yeah

and gave codes to send to friends

[umbral rune]

American citizens moment

[celest raft]

put it on Steam

[true lava]

Exactly, once it’s open for people to try people will be playing it

[tribal spade]

I wont deny that. like i said previously though. player numbers will decline

[celest raft]

380k waiting for Arc Raiders server to go off read only

[ember mountain]

Europoor

[strong mortar]

and then they can bash it with firsthand experience kekw

[unique apex]

we're cooked bois

[timber breach]

Open beta will probably have a lot of players, but player number doesn't mean it's a good game lol

[true lava]

Which is just sad bc 1k of those 380k have played it lmao

[celest raft]

4k

[radiant terrace]

7 am, closed alpha, one region. Maybe your brain is cooked <3

[celest raft]

its almost like Bungie doesn't want people to try it

[torn dirge]

Arc raiders had more people playing on steam at its lowest dip (literally when the servers went down) than marathon had at its peak

[last blade]

That has nothing to do with anything. NA is a large region and if the player base is already dying off in a closed alpha where the hype should be at a peak.. I dunno. I want to believe in the game but right now I’m just disappointed from what I’ve seen so far

[strong mortar]

you're lookin at the wrong number

[celest raft]

or see what the state is of it atm

[spare aspen]

Making the closed alpha for your essentially required 3 player squad based extraction shooter be region locked, unable to give out friend codes AND without proximity chat is wild in 2025. It’s like bungie doesn’t even want this game to succeed

[true lava]

Yea they were pretty clear about that with the # of invites they sent

[umbral rune]

Concord player levels

[celest raft]

wonder why

[timber breach]

Player numbers don't dictate game quality. A lot of people chase trends, get paid to promote, try for free, or are just bored and wanna play. Have you seen THE FINALS? It's at like 10K to 20K, which is relatively lower than 100K but it's still 100% quality content every season

[torn dirge]

And before anyone says “oh marathon is on console too”. So is arc raiders, and a lot of pc players were on epic games instead of steam

[true lava]

I mean shit you had to fill out like 4 pages of survey info just to apply

[celest raft]

yeah that was dumb as hell, Arc Raiders saved the survey for the end of the test lol

[radiant terrace]

7 am, week day, closed alpha, one region, think critically for yourself and get an opinion from someone other than asmongold <3

[verbal patrol]

it is kind of weird how much they seemed to drum up hype for this stage of development

[celest raft]

as they should, why have people answer that stuff before playing

[vocal moss]

Honestly I couldn’t get into Arc Raiders
Don’t say that Marathon is cooked just because a lot of people like it
I like extraction shooters, but I hated Arc Raiders

[radiant terrace]

U mean the guy kicked from the SoT community for being a crying whiny baby?

[celest raft]

the AI voices are fucking stupid I will say

why didn't you like it? third person?

[true lava]

If you can’t see why they would do that then idk what to tell you man

[radiant terrace]

7 am closed beta on a weekday one region little baby bro grow a brain

[celest raft]

was it NA locked too

[strong mortar]

it's the trend from 6k to 600 over the course of a week. and that 600 was on a weekend

[true lava]

No it was worldwide all platforms

[vocal moss]

Yeah, third person
Guns felt really bad
I don’t like all the enemy AIs being a fucking boss fight in a game where every shot/heal is costing you money

[radiant terrace]

I don't think so but admittedly idk

[last blade]

That part

[vocal moss]

👀

[radiant terrace]

Google every word after the colon: closed, alpha, weekday, one, region

[celest raft]

I thought the guns felt pretty good personally, the aiming was a bit wonky when you were near cover though, the third person makes sense to me even though I prefer first person usually, and the AI is a bit bullet spongey until you upgrade your weapons or if you're solo, I agree there

thats all fair

[strong mortar]

if i speak, bungie will suspend me from this discord

[agile swan]

Not enough for a classic car that is

[umbral rune]

Trying this hard to get an internship huh

[celest raft]

gunplay is a subjective thing too

[leaden scroll]

Are you supposed to get an email about alpha acsess?

[torn dirge]

What point is bro even trying to make rn

[tribal spade]

i mentioned all this and more in the survey. glad im not the only one.

[radiant terrace]

I already have a job I'm doing this for the sport

[strong mortar]

he is trying to prove that he has a room temperature IQ. bro, u can stop. We believe u

[agile swan]

Marathon's last defender

[wind sage]

Wait you can be payed to defend bungie online1?1?1?1?1?

[radiant terrace]

That the numbers will not reflect reality because it was a closed alpha and it is a week day

[celest raft]

I don't know why they compared it to Elden Ring in the survey lol

[vocal moss]

There are enough people loving it that I’m not going to bash it for anything - it looks gorgeous, it’s different, and I love the setting - but I don’t think it’s unreasonable that a decent amount of people will bounce and go to Marathon

[radiant terrace]

I bet ur used to filling these out huh

[tribal spade]

yea must be the boss fights im guessing. like the queen event

[torn dirge]

Arc raiders was also a closed alpha, and had a shorter test than marathon. Yet put out way higher numbers and more hype

[spare aspen]

I would love to be this delusional

[umbral rune]

I'm unemployed, that's my j*b

[radiant terrace]

It's also more regions :^]

[celest raft]

ironically the game's maps didn't look THAT impressive to me, I vastly prefer how Marathon looks even if I don't like the gameplay nearly as much, but I can't form a concrete opinion on Marathon until I get my access key

[unique quail]

Anyone else having trouble finding matches right now? I assume it’s because because of the stress test

[leaden scroll]

?

[torn dirge]

And yet marathon gave out what, 64k codes supposedly. And peaked at 6.3k on steam

[strong mortar]

'there's so little player count.

[magic rose]

SKIBIDIIIIIIIIIIII

[timber breach]

Arc peaked playercounts on the 4th day 💀 ain't that crazy now

[celest raft]

I like how the queen kind of incentivizes teaming up on its own because one 3 man will have a hard haaaard time beating it unless they bring like 300 - 500 rounds each

[umbral rune]

It arrives via carrier pigeon not email

[wind sage]

Im gonna become pregnant after the amount of negativity in this chat😤 😤 😤 🫃

[celest raft]

theres a lot of nuance to how Arc was designed and its easy to notice

[leaden scroll]

🤣

[agile swan]

There's only like 5 people interested in this game

[timber breach]

Game has level based matchmaking, so there's probs not a lot of people in ur level queuing up

[radiant terrace]

Woah that's crazy what region was it again? Oh yeah a region with astronomical cost of living where most people work two jobs? Oh ok

[unique quail]

Any you’re one of them I suppose?

[timber breach]

I was level ~53 day 2 and was in an 8 to 10 minute queue for Marathon

[umbral rune]

That's not a great idea

[grim bridge]

i love it cant wait for another test

[strange harness]

If arc raiders releases in September, this game is doa

[celest raft]

I was actually way way way more interested in Marathon at first and didn't realize I had access to Arc until like the second to last day of test 2

[celest raft]

Arc releasing first will be baaaad for Bungie

[timber breach]

10 minutes queue time for day 2 of the alpha is obnoxious time btw. Arc Raiders btw within seconds, literally <30 seconds in NA

[umbral rune]

If the cycle frontier rereleases we all living

[celest raft]

which it really could at this point

[torn dirge]

How does bungie taste bro, be real

[timber breach]

Sir that's not a marathon, that's literally sitting down, hell even lying down

[slender lintel]

Until they hit u with that $80 price tag 😂

[agile swan]

I am actually, interested in how it will succeed or fail

[radiant terrace]

Awesome counterpoint

[ember mountain]

It’s coming out in December

[true lava]

This is sad man

[celest raft]

source?

[strange harness]

Pretty sure it’s $40

[vocal moss]

Their Steam Keys (Arc’s) went down on like Day 1
That pissed a lot of people off
But my friend got in on the last day and it was more fun playing with him, but not enough to make me love it

[spare aspen]

Arc coming off the top rope to kill marathon would be absolutely wild, but you can’t deny the word of mouth and overall reception between the two alphas are night and day

[last blade]

Same, was super hyped for Marathon and hadn’t even heard of Arc until the play test. Then I saw arc and was blown away

[celest raft]

they said 2025, that's all

[unique quail]

Then maybe don’t be so negative, there’s clearly a ton of people interested in the game

[echo herald]

Calm down brothers! Games will release before GTA6

[celest raft]

I think its a game I'll come back to but I won't sink thousands of hours into it for sure

[timber breach]

Apparently they fixed it really fast though

[umbral rune]

Tbh I'd rather play overwatch than marathon

[vocal moss]

Yeah, like GTA 7

[agile swan]

Negative? I'm being pretty neutral

[radiant terrace]

Woah ok so ur actually like what brain damaged? Some kind of CTE?

[ember mountain]

You are tho

[vocal moss]

Took a day or so

[celest raft]

the first trailer for Arc really undersells it and doesn't give a clear idea of the gameplay or tone imo

[timber breach]

Dang, that sucks

[echo herald]

My body is ready for Asia Marathon!!!!!!!

[lament rivet]

im gonna be incredibly honest, arc raiders is not as good as people glaze it to be

i had keys, played it with my friends, and there was nothing special about it and we got bored almost immediately

[strange harness]

You’re always in the chat. If the game is so good, why are you never playing it lol

[agile swan]

Yup, neutral

[vocal moss]

Yuh the community was pissed
PS5 gang forever

[umbral rune]

I'm addicted to the game, got galactic in two weeks of release

[radiant terrace]

I'm here every day and I've never seen him

[timber breach]

I saw the chat they were just desperate I guess 😂

[true lava]

You don’t have a key right?

[torn dirge]

Ur repeating the same invalid points. So idrk what else to try and say to you

[radiant terrace]

🤢 🤮

[strange harness]

I’m not American

[celest raft]

Man fuck all this I just wish I could run the Forever Winter /j

[timber breach]

Well you know, we can finally say "it's just an alpha" to that part of the game, even tho keys didn't have to do with the actual game

[ember mountain]

Marathon is for US only

[vocal moss]

How much to smuggle me

[true lava]

Then why not wait to play open beta to decide if u like it yourself?

[echo herald]

Asia Marathon, show me some noise!

[radiant terrace]

Go take a statistics class little bro. Or virology. This tiny ass sample size literally CANT reflect reality.

[celest raft]

NA only right now

[timber breach]

3 Marathon keys
