[outer laurel]

[turbid forge]

im sure thatll be for the beta no way it isnt

[outer laurel]

or im gonna commit several crimes thatll be referenced in the geneva convention at a later date

[turbid forge]

👀

[keen zinc]

If rumored open beta in august is true, is it common for games to do that so close to release?

[spare geyser]

so no dev stream today or something will be shown?

[turbid forge]

yeh ive seen betas last until launch and only last 2 days

[outer laurel]

[outer laurel]

[magic leaf]

Wait heres the better one. ima keep this on a clip board

“Sekgen knows what runners need, thats why our product contains the best ingredients. NuCaloric fills their bars with inorganic chemical compounds designed to keep you addicted. Ours was designed to keep you running”

[outer laurel]

[turbid forge]

thats tuff icl

[outer laurel]

this is why sales is such a large branch. so many talented people

[turbid forge]

very proud of our sales team

[magic leaf]

Marketing does the heavy lifting I tell you, thats why I choose Sekgen Smokes

[sharp halo]

Do you guys think marathon lore has mexican mango geek bar

[turbid forge]

i wouldnt know

[outer laurel]

no, but it does have mexican mango SekGen Cigs

[sharp halo]

Ew cigs

[turbid forge]

geekvars are nucal slime

[sharp halo]

Even better

[outer laurel]

"your perfect you awaits, join SekGen today, reinvent yourself tommorow"

[magic leaf]

This aint it chief

[turbid forge]

that actually looks like it could be mexican mango too

[outer laurel]

this is it cheif

[deep lantern]

we have Cubans.

[outer laurel]

new rule for SekGen. all company documents must be written in the font: yu gothic. as its sleek and efficient design works matches with ours. this goes for future ad campaings as well

[viscid plinth]

No new updates until the 16th???

[outer laurel]

we have cigs from planets that only have numerical designations

[turbid forge]

areal black is retired for future adverts

yu gothic it is

[deep lantern]

but we have cigars

[magic leaf]

get that corpo shid out of here, only sekgen ciggies forus

[outer laurel]

ill roll you a J from a planet so far outside our solar system you cant see it with the hubbel telescope

[latent gyro]

What are your thoughts on the allegations against SekGen having worm byproducts in their branded Smokes?

[sturdy glade]

Being that close to release is more like a stress test than a true beta.

[outer laurel]

worm byproducts help clean the insides of the SekGen shell. by proxy making you more efficient

[turbid forge]

this is true i developed them

[latent gyro]

Do you have any proof to back this claim?

[magic leaf]

"Sekgen Organic Compounds only clean the runners systems, providing you with more efficient energy"

[outer laurel]

its acidic and our insides are ceramic coated, therefore it degrades things plugging up the system, but not the system itself

[turbid forge]

exactly, couldnt have said it better oursevles

our sales rep team is very hands on with making sure our products are of top quality, so they speak from experience rather than empty noises

[magic leaf]

Chicks dig the SekGen Cigs

[turbid forge]

when you buy from sekgen you buy a guarantee

[magic leaf]

you wouldn't want your geekvar dying on you mid cycle would you

[turbid forge]

any hot barrel can light a sekgen cig

[magic leaf]

Thats why our customers choose SekGen Cigs, we'll never leave you stranded in a firefight

[outer laurel]

Propaganda so good I might give myself a raise

[turbid forge]

id say its deserving

best campaign for cigs i seen in a while

[magic leaf]

U earned it

You think they would do a discount code for a casual streamer?

Do you really think that's how you get a brand new free game on PS5 from a Sony CEO

On a Marathon server? Seriously?

[magic leaf]

[magic rose]

im enjoying Marathon taking L moment more than playing Arc's test 2

[mental mango]

[trim summit]

hm

[nova moss]

the game isnt even OUT yet

[trim summit]

like a true capitalistic CEO

[outer laurel]

Hey, scroll down slightly

[keen zinc]

this guy is a clown in the destiny community lol he didn't take care of his kid or whatever

[mental mango]

no matter i am going t still play the game and why you tube matters they don't look at play numbers sutch as luckyy

[outer laurel]

I ammended it

[trim summit]

real real

[pine pond]

this guy is a joke

[wooden pendant]

i rly hope they delay the game man

[heady atlas]

When’s beta testing available

[keen zinc]

idk

[wooden pendant]

they havent even announced if they'll do a beta yet

[heady atlas]

Ah shiet

[wooden pendant]

they'll prolly make a statement about the next test next week in the playMA

[heady atlas]

How do I get a spot tho.

[keen zinc]

idk

[wooden pendant]

dunno, they havent announced anything

[heady atlas]

All these kids hating on the game that don’t even enjoy it get a spot and the people that appreciate the r vision don’t 🤣

[wooden pendant]

did they? mb

[open remnant]

Its crazy how all these content creators are suddenly game dev experts and know everything even though all they've seen is one alpha playtest.

[heady atlas]

Na they don’t know shit

[open remnant]

They must have a vast knowledge of games development /s

[sonic iron]

Shroud sure did when his game bombed

[stiff saffron]

Streamers is literally the worse thing that happened to game industry (right after consoles 😛 )

[open remnant]

Its always funny to see when they have these kinds of views then when a game comes out and turns out to be a success they start posting videos on how good the game is pretending they never said a thing.

[mental mango]

look you tube dose not know anything until they played alpha test our join this server

[shut merlin]

Game isn’t even fully released

[deep lantern]

thank you Jack I.T. Box

[mental mango]

you tube is talking trash then

[sonic iron]

People say concord was bad but Spectre Divide was substantially worse

[open remnant]

Concord showed nothing appealing and clearly had a lot of problems. Marathon isn't in the same category.

[shut merlin]

Yeah what was bro saying 😭

[open remnant]

Its missing a lot but all we've seen is an alpha and the gameplay looks fun.

[deep lantern]

the concept art showed an immaculate euro sci fi aesthetic

[deep lantern]

and they just went and botched it so horribly

[mental mango]

?

[shut merlin]

That was to that light guy

Think he got muted

Or left idk

No I didn’t

[deep lantern]

and I’ll fuckin do it for him this time 💅

[rocky vale]

how do you guys have the marathon profile deco it looks cool

[keen zinc]

i like tick milk

[deep lantern]

simply put, good fellow, i sense a tinge of disapproval with your inclusion of that rainbow flag

[keen zinc]

Gone now, it was from a discord quest

[shut merlin]

I did not report you for you saying that because I didn’t play the game so you could be right

[rocky vale]

😔

[deep lantern]

i just don’t think you’re putting that in your message there with good faith

[nova moss]

me readying the silly data terminals

[deep lantern]

but enlighten me on your reasoning for this

[keen zinc]

real and true

[deep lantern]

[solid yew]

I'M ALREADY FLOSSING EVERY NIGHT WHAT ELSE CAN I DO

[turbid forge]

so yes its similar

whos removing messages

[mental mango]

these long topic chats ai gen locks up discord

also my computer

[livid cobalt]

BRUH

[turbid forge]

whoever removed my messages you a hoe fr

BUT LIKE I SAID its already been said they played tarkov during the start of the development of the game

so yes its inspired

now do ABI

[open remnant]

Tbf all the main points you mentioned are very broad in description and could apply to a multitude of game genre's

Its like saying someone copied space invaders because there's aliens in it lol

[turbid forge]

i had to block him hes spamming chat gpt shit

like bro make a video if you gonna do all that

[open remnant]

ok i'll block now too

spamming is annoying

Its a shame as I'd actually like to discuss the points

[turbid forge]

[mental mango]

@vocal atlas stop posting chat gpt stuff

[turbid forge]

i already did it you 2 do it and he should be gone

[open remnant]

There's no option to report over what they typed

[turbid forge]

you gotta do the message itself not profile

[open remnant]

ah ok

[turbid forge]

ye right click somehwere in that jibberish

[open remnant]

done

[sharp canopy]

Arc Raiders Alpha was better

[open remnant]

I agree, will be interesting to see how both games do on release

I think Marathon might do very well as I think it has a lot more to offer personally.

[atomic saffron]

I reported him too. He is still here. 😭

[turbid forge]

hes a bot

[mental mango]

i put the boot on him

[turbid forge]

did you report spam and block him?

First time I’ve said “blocked” and actually blocked the person

[paper terrace]

Why Marathon Is Seen as a Copy of Escape from Tarkov
When Bungie unveiled Marathon — a reboot of their classic 1994 franchise reimagined as an extraction shooter — the gaming community had mixed reactions. While some were excited, many immediately drew comparisons to Escape from Tarkov, the hardcore extraction shooter that popularized the genre. The accusation that Marathon is copying Tarkov stems from several undeniable overlaps in design, genre timing, and market positioning.

Jumping on the Extraction Shooter Trend
Extraction shooters exploded in popularity mainly because of Escape from Tarkov. The genre — where players enter a map, scavenge loot, and attempt to extract alive — didn't exist in a meaningful mainstream way before Tarkov. It created a demand for a new kind of tension-based shooter, blending looter elements with high-stakes survival. Marathon — a game that could have taken any form — specifically choosing the extraction model strongly suggests Bungie is chasing the proven success of Tarkov, rather than innovating based on their own legacy.

Gameplay Loops That Mirror Tarkov
From what Bungie has revealed, Marathon features:

Entering missions with limited gear

Searching for loot mid-match

Risking permanent loss of gear if killed

Extracting at specific points

This is the exact core gameplay loop that defines Tarkov. While minor differences like art style (sci-fi vs. modern military) and polish will exist, the foundational tension — everything you find or bring can be permanently lost — is directly lifted from Tarkov's formula.

Loot-Driven, Player-Defined Progression
Another hallmark of Tarkov is its focus on player-driven economy and progression through looted equipment, not scripted missions or XP levels alone.

I’m guessing you don’t like this game

[open remnant]

he didn't get on the alpha test

[midnight kettle]

No prox chat= DOA

[open remnant]

I was pretty bitter at first too but I came to terms with it

[turbid forge]

how does that make it doa when 80% of the people in game didnt use their mics at all even

i think maybe 2 people ahd their mic on in the 35 hours over 3 days i put in

[midnight kettle]

Arc raiders has prox chat come on in the water is fine

[turbid forge]

bait used to be believable

yall need to do better tbh

[wooden pendant]

the game's got bigger problems than prox chat tbh, tho it's still crazy that bungie opted not to implement it

[turbid forge]

their soft as hell theyd never put prox chat in

[sly sleet]

I mean if they are going for a more casual audience. I do personally not like to talk to Everyone

[turbid forge]

but maybe with enough push back it can change bc it needs to but that aint even a make or break

[mental mango]

@midnight kettle why the hate i am just asking

you like other games yes ?

[iron aspen]

they are not going for a casual audience

[wooden pendant]

the most they gave us is a "MAYBE we'll add it after launch" which is just... so bungie in how tonedeaf of a response it was

[midnight kettle]

Bungo supporter's couldn't be me bud

[mental mango]

your issue

[iron aspen]

[mental mango]

we like marathon

[turbid forge]

i wouldnt say that they def are trying to mass appeal tarkovs game loop in their own fashion with apex elements

[midnight kettle]

1000 ppl like marathon rn nice

[sour bobcat]

strange behaviour coming into a games discord to shit on it lmao

[sly sleet]

where’d you get that figure? your ass?

[iron aspen]

ragebait used to be believeable

[midnight kettle]

That's what a discord is for the good and the bad opinions

[unborn kettle]

We still rage baiting with arc raiders?

[turbid forge]

idk bro theres alot of people in here mad as hell they didnt get a code

[tulip sedge]

tbf, that pretty much happens on every gaming discord server

[iron aspen]

guess

[wooden pendant]

they're trying to make extraction shooters more casual-friendy but in doing so, they kinda stripped the game of wat makes the genre interesting in the first place. there's a reason people keep comparing marathon to apex instead of other actual extraction shooters

[sour bobcat]

“A Youtuber Said It Was Bad And No One Plays It, That’s Now My Opinion ☝️🤓”

[elder rampart]

if people don’t like this game and it’s getting a ton of hate, before the game reveal there was like 12-15k people here but it grew to 450k

[mental mango]

@unborn kettle someone is i am cooking

[sly sleet]

I mean I was interested in DMZ when it came out because I thought the idea of an extraction shooter that doesn’t give me tachycardia was appealing

[open remnant]

Yes can confirm. Literally shaking with rage right now 🤗

[midnight kettle]

@wooden pendant exactly

bro dont agree with me, u make me look like an ass when im associated with ragebaiters 💀

[turbid forge]

when you only give out max 66k codes and then arc raiders comes along and gives everyone and their grandmother a code its kinda hard to keep up jsut on a numbers base

[open remnant]

I must calm my mind, the wait won't be forever ☺️

[astral trout]

isnt this game just a halo rip off

[mental mango]

@open remnant i am not mad i am chilled out pround supporter of destiny 2 and marathon team

[turbid forge]

if people have friends that got arc codes and 1 person got a marathon code what game do you think they gonna play

[midnight kettle]

@astral trout pretty much

[tulip sedge]

World of Warcraft?

[turbid forge]

exactly

[tulip sedge]

sorry. that's a hard question.

[turbid forge]

no you were right

[sour bobcat]

If marathon sucks i’m not going to play arc raiders, i’ll just go play other games i like lmao

[noble schooner]

I'm certain there's still hope for Marathon. However, I personally believe that Sony needs to amp it up because, other than Helldivers 2, they haven't put out a single first-party multiplayer shooter game on the PS5 that would bring in huge numbers and sell quite well. There's also another problem that the multiplayer shooter market is pretty much oversaturated, that's why they haven't put out a new Killzone, Resistance, or SOCOM yet.

[unborn kettle]

Not alot because I got a arc raiders invite twice and one link broke because their friend invite system was broken and the second one I could never get a key because they stopped doing batches for pc 🤷‍♂️

[midnight kettle]

A game like Arc raiders only comes around once in a blue moon

[sour bobcat]

bro is bouncing on it

[open remnant]

I must admit it does look fantastic, glad smaller companies are producing great games

[turbid forge]

no my point is, lets say you have 5 friends and only 1-2 of them got marathon codes and everyone got arc raiders codes you all would play arc raiders together instead of marathon atm unless its just you and that other friend that got a marathon code

arc gave everyone and their grandmother a code so yeah its gonan be easy to drown it out

friends play with friends

[unborn kettle]

Except they're still using AI voices for their games

[shut merlin]

Marathon should have done the same honestly

[turbid forge]

i agree thats their biggest fumble

my friends were getting mad at me bc i got access for making videos

[ancient fern]

It comes through the most with the dancing animation imo, or that sticks out to me the most at least. "Look at me going!"

[turbid forge]

they should have given everyone that got a code 2 more friend codes

thats what i was expecting and it didnt happen

[shut merlin]

I was just to late for the test

Friend told me about it to late

You can see when I joined the server

[turbid forge]

apparently the only ones that got 2 more friend codes are the ones that got a streamer giveaway code

[neat jacinth]

same

[scenic delta]

WHERE IS MY ARC RAIDERS?!?!?!?!?!

[shut merlin]

Bro just joined 😭

[neat jacinth]

🥹

[unborn kettle]

Correct

[shut merlin]

A long time until the next beta

[neat jacinth]

I'm a patient man

[shut merlin]

Same with this one a long time until the next test

[scenic delta]

If you got into the arc raiders playtest, are you automatically in for the next ones?

[turbid forge]

yeah that was dumb but overall thats why arc raiders overshadowed it overall its just bc people would rather play together on a game all their friends got access too rather than play/watch their friend with a code play marathon

[shut merlin]

Probably like it made me do a survey about the game and if I wanted to do the next test

[turbid forge]

its just math

[scenic delta]

Idk mannn... marathon looks amazing but arc raiders, was FIRE... i never got to try marathon

[open remnant]

I never noticed but I've only watched some gameplay vids

[unborn kettle]

They did the same thing with The Finals 😌

[shut merlin]

It was just me and one other playing but yeah i definitely see what you mean

[turbid forge]

arc raiders is cool but once that 3rd person corner peek meta hits yall gonan singing a different tune

calling it now

[shut merlin]

Arc raiders was a very fun game

[scenic delta]

It really wasnt as bad as people think it was

[open remnant]

I was thinking the same thing. It might become a major annoyance after a while

[shut merlin]

Yeah I got a shotgun to my face because of that

[turbid forge]

thats bc people havent figured out how to abuse it, not enough time

itll happen eventually tho it always does

dayz for example

[scenic delta]

We got way too many FPS... a 3rd person shooter is so refreshing... and its dope to see your charecter models animations and skins... i fuck with it heavy

[tulip sedge]

it's a 3rd person game. it's bound to happen.

[shut merlin]

Only once and my team killed the guy but still he was at a door using that 3rd person peak and shotgun me 😭

[turbid forge]

yup and people will get mad about it after they lose enough kits

[shut merlin]

I think the map buried city it was a big pvp map it was just squad after squad that’s how I died the second time 😔

[turbid forge]

ive seen this way too many times, fortnite literally had to update their camera angles bc of people doing it with emotes

[austere zodiac]

I’ve played enough gears to know the flow of 3p PvP

[tulip sedge]

people will get mad at any multiplayer game after a few months it launches.

[cold stump]

it already did

[shut merlin]

Yes multiplayer games like cod

[turbid forge]

nah you ran into a few people doing it, not it being the meta

[austere zodiac]

paid actor for Bungie

[mental mango]

well that meant time to trun of the game for while

[shut merlin]

I hate cod but still play it

[turbid forge]

when everyone is doing it like gears of war wall strafing itll be annoying as hell

[cold stump]

dude having buried city duels against good people that take like 6 minutes was painful 😭

[stuck aurora]

kinda like how Rogue Company died-

[vocal frost]

Arc raiders in 5

[turbid forge]

great example

[unborn kettle]

Wall bouncing has been my favorite movement tech in any 3rd person shooter for me

[turbid forge]

such a good game that got killed by its own mechanics

[shut merlin]

Yes that map was painful

[tulip sedge]

but hey, that's Arc Raiders problem. Marathon has its own concerns.

[turbid forge]

yeah but im just saying marathon can fix its issues they cant fix that 3rd person

[stuck aurora]

tbf Hi-Rez barely update their games but yea it was very frustrating (even now when the game's peak players is 300)

[ancient fern]

I feel like there's some potential with the traps and utility items but we really will have to see. I yearn for the rust belt so damn bad honestly,,,

[shut merlin]

Killed two squads there just to try and leave and get shot from another and then try to run away and ran into another all in this one area

[neat jacinth]

What was the general consensus of the Alpha?

[turbid forge]

i enjoyed it

[tulip sedge]

mixed I guess?

[ancient fern]

Dreadful experience inside buildings lol

[ancient iris]

https://maps.app.goo.gl/swKiCc7QsDh5g9TLA

[stuck aurora]

the core mechanics are alright, we expected better from Bungie

[zinc mantle]

You need those hatch keys 🔑

[neat jacinth]

I see

[turbid forge]

this is a fair opinion

[shut merlin]

I was on buried city I think and it was like a hanger or shipment container place

[neat jacinth]

I love the art design, haven't really read up on the gameplay so far

[austere zodiac]

This was peak

[cold stump]

yes youre right it was peek

[turbid forge]

if anyone wants to see some tarkov zero to hero action in marathon here you go https://youtu.be/oNXJB4w5CME

[zinc mantle]

Overall I would say poor reception so far from the community, but 99% of people haven't even been able to get hands on so it's really hard to tell.

[vestal zealot]

🤣🤣🤣 marathon can’t be fixed guy…

[turbid forge]

its just code guy

[shut merlin]

How about your number

[vestal zealot]

Just code written over 5+ years

[unborn kettle]

@lunar marten

[visual oracle]

next play test ?

[ancient fern]

Exsqueeze me wait what

[keen zinc]

Watched it earlier bro did you ever get your forehead unstuck from the monitor you were locked in

[turbid forge]

no LMAO

[neat jacinth]

A shame, the game looks promising

[vestal zealot]

Oh cool so that’s where you live

[turbid forge]

it gets worse in later videos i get into it

when i start wiping half the lobby and shit you can barely see my eyes

[austere zodiac]

90% of the people who have played don’t enjoy it

[warm herald]

Where is alpha chat

[unborn kettle]

Have to have role to access it

[vestal zealot]

But their opinions don’t count tho because what do the consumers know

[warm herald]

Ahh my b

[neat jacinth]

A good mindset to have, if you want your company to go bankrupt that is

[magic rose]

Lmao

[vestal zealot]

Bungie is about to start selling off ip’s like a liquidation sell

[shut merlin]

I don’t think I have seen anyone that played it say anything bad it’s only the people who haven’t

[turbid forge]

considering most people dont like extract shooter bc they are bad at games that dont have an instant respawn and there isnt really any other popular extraction shooter besides tarkov which is pc only and console is a way bigger market by a shit ton im not surprised most people dont like it bc most people have never played a niche genre like this for a long period of time

[unborn kettle]

I thoroughly enjoyed my 30 hrs on the game

[magic rose]

Your forgetting that this is an alpha environment, they have an extensive period to improve

[turbid forge]

most codes wer given out on console as well

[austere zodiac]

I’m someone who played it and I have plenty of bad things to say. I just don’t feel a need to be negative constantly

[neat jacinth]

Only one I ever played was Hunt Showdown

[austere zodiac]

4 months

[keen zinc]

There's definitely people who played and didn't like it, saying it's shit is absolutely a stretch though lol considering what was held back in the alpha

[turbid forge]

exactly and thats barely an extract shooter

[shut merlin]

See I am on Xbox and there isn’t any extraction shooters and I love extraction shooters

[turbid forge]

but most people arent you most console owners jsut wanna sit back and chill cod style

[wooden pendant]

how's hunt barely an extract shooter?

[shut merlin]

Do you think it will do well or no

[neat jacinth]

That game had its problems... But I enjoyed it

[keen zinc]

Very untraditional which yknow also makes it different and good

[turbid forge]

its jsut more pve driven than the others but it still is an extract shooter

[austere zodiac]

I think it will underperform and then they will work on it after release. I don’t think the game will be good until year 2

[shut merlin]

Yeah that’s true but I think arc raiders was so good to me because I love extraction shooter even though I never really played them so I hope marathon is good

[turbid forge]

i think every company can learn from hunts sound design tho that game is peak audio

[wooden pendant]

it rly isn't pve driven at all. the mobs in hunt become annoyances in high lvl play. it becomes pvp heavy just like tarkov

[radiant terrace]

Halo infinite moment

[neat jacinth]

I loved it's sound design

[unborn kettle]

Tbf hunt really isn't what you'd expect out of an extraction shooter there's no real "loot" it's just leveling hunters through completing runs I always though Hunt was a stretch on the extraction shooter genre

[turbid forge]

well thats late game then nobody but the hardcore players are gonan reach that

[magic solstice]

We should rename this chat “Anything But Marathon”

[austere zodiac]

Just being hopeful. I still enjoy Destiny on occasion, and that had an awful release

[shut merlin]

Just needed to add halo 5 multiplayer type or at least more weapons 😭

[turbid forge]

exactly but its still an extract shooter tbf

but thats moreless what i was trynna say

[wooden pendant]

hardcore players are kind of a given if u even just consider picking up a game like hunt/tarkov

[shut merlin]

Destiny sucks

[radiant terrace]

im confident marathon will build its own unique little community like Destiny. Whether or not it ever grows past that is up for debate though (like how d1 grew into a much larger d2 community)

[unborn kettle]

Yea you can still extract with items and what not and there's still the loss of items/hunters of death

[turbid forge]

exactly but most people on console arent hardcore gamers hence negative reviews from marathon where 90% of codes were given to console player

[shut merlin]

I’m just mad they took the dlcs off gamepass 😔

[turbid forge]

mfs just dont game like that if you get a pc you are spending 2k+ jsut to run the games and then buy them you have to really care about gaming to get a pc

especially in todays economy

[austere zodiac]

Bungie only makes niche games for niche audiences

[neat jacinth]

I wouldn't call Halo niche

[turbid forge]

huhhhh

[mental mango]

bro destiny 2 is alive and still kicking with players

[radiant terrace]

yeah they shot themselves in the foot not adding a gun until over a year after launch (and then that gun being a LAMER marksman rifle). the new shotgun is really dope tho

[wooden pendant]

iunno i think marathon is rly confused in its design. it compromises too much on the extraction mainstay elements to appeal to hardcore players. but the forced trio balancing makes it hard to appeal to casuals

[lyric vault]

Hi!!!! Just join'd

[ancient fern]

Welcome!

[shut merlin]

The shotgun gravity hammer 😭

[unborn kettle]

This could be said about Tarkov though

[wooden pendant]

it rly couldnt. tarkov is a hardcore player's wet dream

[lyric vault]

Wtf why do I get that reactions??

[radiant terrace]

ye bro that shit slaps! It's a power weapon so it isn't like the original 3 shotty but it's closer than the bulldog

[shut merlin]

Yeah but the DLCs were on gamepass a long time ago and I was playing destiny because it’s fun and had good memories with my friends then we stopped after they got rid of them

[turbid forge]

welcome to the marathon discord

[neat jacinth]

Maybe extraction shooters are inherently hard to balance, or that's an excuse

[unborn kettle]

Which hinders it's sales to just hardcore players? Games can have different audience appeals and still be successful

[radiant terrace]

🫃 ida be that way (join traxus instead)

[shut merlin]

Just they had so many other weapons they could of added

[lyric vault]

jjajajajajja

[turbid forge]

not really just when you try to mass appeal to everyone you end up pleasing nobody. they need to decide rather its a mainstream or hardcore experience

[wooden pendant]

ye but at least it appeals to a niche. rn marathon isn't all that appealing to hardcore players nor casual players. like i said, it feels confused

[shut merlin]

Who cares if it’s the same weapons they had in every other halo they should still add them

[neat jacinth]

Sadly the former wins out most of the time

[pine marsh]

I’m yearning to play more Marathon after putting 40+ hours into the alpha (I only had access for a week). I hope Bungie doesn’t decide to delay the game, and I hope they announce an open beta

[shut merlin]

Idk if it goes with the lore or something but just sucks that they didn’t have much weapons

[radiant terrace]

Ye fr. I feel like they were finally in a good place with forerunner weapons being unique sandbox items and they just gave up having not made any more

[lyric vault]

It has been already the alpha test? I wanna join if not

[turbid forge]

yeah but either one is fine its just some fine tuning they need to do tbh people are tripping mad hard about the game and i am a very hardcore tarkov player

[radiant terrace]

it's already over, unfortunately

[unborn kettle]

It appeals to me fine as a person who regularly plays milsims and tarkovs it tickles the itch for a casual extract shooter fine for me it just might not end up being the game for you or others

[lyric vault]

n0o0o0o0o0

[neat jacinth]

I guess we will have to wait

[turbid forge]

i need to copy and paste this

[shut merlin]

I just need a pc so I can play more games 😭

[neat jacinth]

sekgen supremacy

[radiant terrace]

I'm sure they'll do another more open playtest between now and september. Check back here every once and a while for updates because they didn't announce the Alpha very far in advance

[opaque torrent]

Lots of players play consoles over PC. For multiple reasons. But some put in hardcore amount of hours.

[wooden pendant]

yeah but u're a statistical inevitability. there's bound to be people who will like a game, invariably. my point isnt that no one likes marathon, my point is that it doesn't seem like enough people like it to sustain it financially. the interest for the game fell of a fucking cliff for the greater gaming community.

[turbid forge]

extraction shooters just arent for everyone most people who pick them up are never gonna be good at them and will jsut build resentment for the game instead of themselves bc people nowadays cant look in the mirror and face their issues and build on it

[wooden pendant]

and im not keen on paying 40 bucks on a game that'll only last 4 months

[turbid forge]

theyd rather blame something else when its genuinely not that bad

[neat jacinth]

I just like the thrill of extraction shooters

the potential loss

[turbid forge]

im ngl i knew it was gonna drop off mad hard once people found out they were gonna lsoe their stuff when they died

[unborn kettle]

But this could be at the cost of other factors that aren't just "game sucks" ive seen people who just didn't keep playing cause they didn't want to burn themselves out on the game before launch there's some people who didn't want to grind the upgrade for the reason of nothing will transfer and just wanted to try it there's so many other factors that I don't think you're considering besides "I don't like the game"

[radiant terrace]

This is why I don't get why bungie made an extract shooter. They're so niche that they were kinda setting themselves up for disappointment. The "sell" of something like destiny is a lot more tantalizing when you consider you can't lose your loot and you get to engage with the story somewhat at your own pace

[snow ember]

"Our Game Director, JoeZ, will be unavailable this Friday, so we're shifting our PlayMA to May 16th at 1PM PT, that way we can stream our Friday internal playtest. We're eager to dive into Alpha feedback and share our initial thinking." does this mean the stream today a internal playtest?

[wooden pendant]

iunno man. people know wat an extraction shooter is sposed to be; tarkov was regularly the most viewed game on twitch. i think people just got turned off by the game looking a bit derivative, and it all went downhill from there

[austere zodiac]

Has anyone tried ARC on Console and PC? Which do you like better?

[wooden pendant]

there are other factors sure but i highly doubt they can be regarded as anything beyond extraneous

[neat jacinth]

The general opion does seem disappointment, atleast in the trailer comments. I must admit a single-player experience with the art design and world of Marathon sounds divine. But I am also very intrigued by it being an extraction shooter

[shut merlin]

Only on console

[sour bobcat]

they already made 2 destiny’s why would they make another one 😂

[unborn kettle]

Yeah but that also just remains speculation though there's no definitive answer to why people weren't playing it a ton it's all just guessing

[turbid forge]

you are sadly mistaken, most people still dont understand what tarkov is on a fundamental level bc 90% of the playerbse doesnt even have 500 hours in the game and thats usually how long it takes for things to REALLY click in that game. when you start memorizing all the quests and items you need early on and stuff like that but the biggest turn off is that amount of time you HAVE to put in

[wooden pendant]

it doesnt help that hero shooter fatigue is still kicking in hard and they decided to divert from a character creator system to a hero shooter. doesn't even matter if from a design standpoint, a hero system would be better for the game, marketing-wise u've alrdy shot urself on the foot

[mental mango]

For those bring hateful remarks to this community I am in rage but I stand with bungie fully100 %

[shut merlin]

Idk if it was for other people but on console for arc raiders after you would extract you would get a black screen

[unborn kettle]

Marvel rivals exist though wheres the fatigue?

[radiant terrace]

They've pigeonholed themselves into this weird problem where if they make it any more open and accessible it loses the tension and prestige of the genre, but that also alienates a lot of otherwise more casual fans that are more into the visuals or the story or even simply the gunplay (in a vacuum, removed from the extraction stuff). I like marathon as is but it is certainly a weird game and idk what they're gonna do (if anything)

[turbid forge]

i wouldnt call that a hero shooter its more like a hero chicken game

[shut merlin]

Yeah I just didn’t want to pay for the DLCs

[austere zodiac]

You poor thing

[static bane]

imagine watching a video of an opinion from a washed out low quality "streamer"

[sour bobcat]

destiny player
can’t take screenshots

yeah that checks out

[neat jacinth]

Agreed. I wouldn't want to be in their shoes atm honestly. I do hope that they succeed.

[radiant terrace]

They're kinda doing that already w this game, just fudging the genre a little bit. from what I understand this game will have a seasonal story, but how similar it will be to destiny obv remains to be seen

[untold star]

Is there a marathon stream today or not?

[shut merlin]

Wait it’s been to long

[mental mango]

duh i do not play on p.c

[wooden pendant]

i should specify, hero shooter elements in genres outside of a hero shooter is what people are fatigued on. rivals is designed entirely around its hero gallery, so they're front and center. it's y it's so successful, it's y overwatch 2 is getting a bit of a resurgence.

games where it feels like the "hero shooter" part was just tacked on becus rivals/overwatch are big hits. THOSE are wat people are sick of

[austere zodiac]

I think what makes people hate marathon more, is the delusional fans that think it is a quality game

[unborn kettle]

The stream is on the 16th

[safe kernel]

Damn info aint for awhile

True, but max steam players was very limited on the first day of 6k people. I understand it's an alpha, but don't hype a game and giving codes out multiple times for the smallest test ever.

[torn dirge]

Arc raiders had way less pre-hype yet let way more people in

[sly hull]

and i was on xbox

[zinc mantle]

I requested both steam and Xbox, I have both.

[keen zinc]

Yeah they had friend codes so almost everyone that wanted in got in, two different playtests lol

[shut merlin]

True I literally found arc raiders on a random YouTube video

[iron aspen]

found it from operator drewski

[torn dirge]

Marathon had a whole ass arg just to let 3 people in a day

[shut merlin]

And guess what it was such a fun game

[zinc mantle]

People still don't know about it which is nuts to me

[shut merlin]

I definitely think a lot more people know about it now

[sly hull]

definitely playing both

[iron aspen]

tbf you can easily argue either side of this tho

[feral dove]

And it was peak

[keen zinc]

Is that what people are referring to when you say they hyped up the alpha? That was for the gameplay reveal not the alpha

[zinc mantle]

I would say a lot of casual gamers do not, I was playing marvel rivals last night and this guy didn't know what marathon or arc was and I was like what?!

[shut merlin]

I will play this and arc raiders

This will be free right?

Marathon

[turbid forge]

im petty and will only be playing marathon bc arc raiders never sent me a code and marathon did

[zinc mantle]

Both premium games

[sly hull]

no sounding like 40$

[shut merlin]

I know arc raiders will cost money

[turbid forge]

marathon is premium game price so like $40

[iron aspen]

both are paid (thankfully)

[turbid forge]

around there maybe $45

[zinc mantle]

That's just bad luck, I got mine from a random guy in the UK lol.

[turbid forge]

yeh i didnt care that much tbh bc i was grinding marathon

[torn dirge]

Alpha came out like a week after the gameplay reveal no?

[feral dove]

[zinc mantle]

Understood, but u will be mind blown once you try it...

[ancient fern]

Testing if this works

[turbid forge]

i wanted this one more anyways for content, and ive seen enough arc raiders to know its not gonan be a main ill just play with friends here and there

[iron aspen]

yes

[shut merlin]

So that is crazy because I got mine on may 2nd when it ended on may 4

[keen zinc]

Yeah is that considered massively hyping up a huge alpha? Should they have announced it on twitter instead lol

[zinc mantle]

It was only 4 days anyways

[balmy mango]

Aaaa

[turbid forge]

DAMN

[shut merlin]

Amazing profile on insta

[torn dirge]

I mean they did

[shut merlin]

Yeah that’s true

[keen zinc]

They announced it in the reveal stream

[shut merlin]

But I was to late for marathon

Sad 😔

[zinc mantle]

It didn't matter timing of submitting for a code, it was so random unless you were a huge creator

[shut merlin]

Oh that sucks

[shut merlin]

Is there anything on a like a beta for marathon before it releases?

[still remnant]

how can i get access to the alpha on may 16th?

[zinc mantle]

That's not a test lol

[still remnant]

F

[simple jay]

This game looks fun

[gritty urchin]

Where is arc raiders 🥀

[dense seal]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1306389618089787454/1370443069849075884/felinicel.gif

NOOOOOOOOOOOO

[stone pilot]

How can I get access to male pregnancy before the open beta

[finite forum]

Is that stream going to be going over the alpha? Im assuming but was just wondering

[keen zinc]

"We're eager to dive into Alpha feedback and share our initial thinking." - from the news channel. Seems like it

[indigo void]

are they giving codez out soon

[mental mango]

no sir

[wide pelican]

til; tau ceti is an actual system.

[tidal harness]

Alpha is over

[vocal frost]

Arc raiders way better

[shut merlin]

Bro didn’t play this one did he

[green folio]

Maibe for you but for PEOPLE IN THIS SERVER marathon is better

[last blade]

nah arc is better

[timid junco]

bro isnt even in the arc raiders discord. rage bait used to be believable

[green folio]

Rage bait bro yall have 12

[gentle warren]

Don’t gotta join the discord to play

[last blade]

not rage bait just an opinion

[vocal frost]

Marathon is roblox apex legends

[timid junco]

but tbh, after playing arc tech test, they have shown a better product so far. We just have to wait and see what bungie excluded from the alpha

[keen zinc]

Why not join the arc discord and talk about your love for arc instead of needlessly going marathon is shit in the marathon discord lol

[vocal frost]

Bungie peaked halo 3 lmao u think they will make something g good

[gentle warren]

Discord read only rn

[keen zinc]

There's other places to talk about things you like

[unique plank]

so... EU beta when ?

[gentle warren]

Yeah

[spare ivy]

This is the only discord server actually

[lyric junco]

Everyone is ignoring this man at this point lmao

[indigo void]

halo reach was the greatest halo ever created and destiny being grindy was still a very good game.... if you dont know anything dont speak please

[vocal frost]

Bungie shill

[indigo void]

We get it your parents didnt love you dont make it obvious though

[brisk coral]

don’t worry tj i love you

[tough hazel]

Halo

[quick light]

So far this looks to be the most arena style extraction shooter, hope it feels that way

[last blade]

Yeah like in here

[stone lance]

[lunar pelican]

please send more funny cat gifs

[stone lance]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-kitty-bouncing-car-toy-gif-15328242261500027994

[lunar pelican]

the best ones for reactions

[stone lance]

I thought embeds were back

I havent been here in a while

[austere zodiac]

Marathon is kinda shit though

[finite forum]

I'm excited for marathon but not optimistic. But hey I'll make my decision once I get to play it in the beta.

[austere zodiac]

Halo reach was horrible. That was the downfall

[alpine hearth]

What an awful take

Surely bait

[austere zodiac]

@finite forum @alpine hearth
Halo 3 14.5 million copies sold
Halo Reach 4.7 million copies sold

[alpine hearth]

Okay

[chilly pond]

Halo 3 = peak halo experience all around

Halo Reach = peak story

However 3 > Reach all inclusive of campaign, mp etc

[tidal nova]

Halo Reach was peak halo when it came to campaign

Multiplayer was fun and would always go back to it compared to the previous halos

[agile crystal]

I must be the only one who liked ODST lol

[alpine hearth]

I did!

[tidal nova]

ODST was fantastic

[empty carbon]

I did!

[agile crystal]

hell yeah ODST was great

[austere zodiac]

And all of these were better than marathon

[tidal nova]

But yeah calling Halo Reach horrible is a wrong opinion. And there are no wrong opinions. So imagine how wrong you gotta be to make it happen.

[austere zodiac]

They took halo and just made it more like cod.

[tidal nova]

Halo Reach was nothing like CoD brody what you been smoking? 😭

[rocky wigeon]

https://tenor.com/view/l3gacord-stare-laughing-emoji-blue-slime-gif-14668909583579328987

[gray minnow]

think Marathon will have an achievement "Ran 10k" ...

[tidal nova]

There is a new Beta for a game called "ASCENDANT"

[idle sphinx]

he is saying future halos i believe

they took the "halo franchise" and made it more like cod

[last blade]

exactly

[analog oriole]

can i put Marathon Closed Alpha Test on Klarna???

[last blade]

Halo 2 and Halo 3 were the peak MP experience for arena shooters

[tidal nova]

Well any Halo after reach is a down hill except maybe Halo 5 but you can only go up after the crap that was 4

[last blade]

just like arc raiders is the peak MP experience for extraction shooters

[tidal nova]

Bro never played Exoborne

[idle sphinx]

personally i wish the aesthetic was a different choice

[ancient fern]

Wahwah

[idle sphinx]

not a fan of the old timey spacey type of look

if arc raiders looked like marathon that'd be great

[last blade]

what you want, some post gender 3d printed robots?

[idle sphinx]

yeah marathon has really nice look

[tidal nova]

If Marathon looked more like Arc it would be an improvement

[idle sphinx]

i think maybe if it was 3rd person and they covered up some of these ugly faces 💀

[last blade]

if marathon looked and played like arc it would maybe get GOTY

[idle sphinx]

they just need proper helmets and it looks great

[languid schooner]

Yea more generic Unreal5 realism focused games. ARC looks so fun but I can't stand another realism shooter

[sharp halo]

Zendaya hat

[idle sphinx]

the faces was a weird touch for robots, but the colors look really good

[tidal nova]

Honestly ARC isn't all that into realism it doesn't play like one either

[languid schooner]

What robots had faces

[sharp halo]

ARC Raiders will fail because they wont be releasing paid DLC that they will later "vault"

[last blade]

if the biggest complaint about a game is that it's realistic I'll take it

[idle sphinx]

embark isn't exactly realistic? but it looks good, it's like semi real,

[idle sphinx]
