[shut merlin]

Alright so new world isn’t good 😭

[trim summit]

[abstract berry]

[shut merlin]

That was supposed to be to the person below 😭

[lofty iron]

Dishonoured was peak

[rapid light]

is death of the outsider worth buying

[lofty iron]

I got it like dirt cheap and I didn’t think so

[abstract berry]

If you got Xbox, play Prey. Arkane Studios game, fire fucking story and plot.

[scenic meteor]

[abstract berry]

NAH FR

[shut merlin]

[shut merlin]

I played that also

[kindred vigil]

Don’t know if you could even get that

[kindred vigil]

It's backwards compatible you can

[shut merlin]

[lofty iron]

@rapid light I forgot 90% of the story and you could probably guess what happens if you read the title of the game HAHA

[green gazelle]

conkers bad furday is also on sale

[dreamy geyser]

Yakuza?

[kindred vigil]

game ain't all that tho it's for old heads I'm ngl

[shut merlin]

[abstract berry]

Mane, you done played it all ig, play RAGE, the original one

[shut merlin]

Oh that’s one I should play

[kindred vigil]

It's digital

[scenic meteor]

ill never forgive Warnerbros for copyrighting the nemesis system from the Mordor games and then gutting the company for wonder woman game 😭

[dreamy geyser]

Got all of them to play

[green gazelle]

Dead Island 2 is just ok

[shut merlin]

So morrowind and yakuza

[dreamy geyser]

Theres also Doom TDA (on the 15th) and Oblivion

[shut merlin]

I know you did not say it was just okay 😭

[abstract berry]

Ah yes. Morrowind, play Dunmer only, everything else is obsolete, obviously.

[rapid light]

yea lol

[shut merlin]

I need gears of war e-day

[wise rose]

It's better if you play it duo with someone other than that it's mid

[green gazelle]

they need to give xbox players World of Warcraft already theyll get like 500k new players that never log off and always pay their gamepass

[abstract berry]

Same bro same. We been STARVING as gears fans

[kindred vigil]

WoW in 2025

[green gazelle]

its still somehow like palpatine survived

[shut merlin]

Played the games with my friends because he wanted to show me peak and then when we finished gears 5 they release the trailer

[kindred vigil]

Who the FUCK is playing modern WoW how is it alive

[abstract berry]

Just as it was written… lisan al gaib…

[wise rose]

Is it even still up?

[dreamy geyser]

It is

[kindred vigil]

Yes it has a classic and modern client

[rapid light]

oh yea i forgot i could do that lol

[green gazelle]

A metric boatload of people pugging is still viable

[dreamy geyser]

Still one of the most played MMOs out there

[mental mango]

Modern war fair call of duty

[shut merlin]

I already had yakuza 0 on play later 😭

[kindred vigil]

I hate mmorpgs because ffxiv fans piss me off

[scenic meteor]

play xcom

[dreamy geyser]

Time to play it

[shut merlin]

That’s the first right?

[green gazelle]

the new expansion The war within is the goblin city and cars next xpac is player housing

[abstract berry]

It sucks cuz if ur really into Gears lore, you already know what this games story is gonna be, but idec cuz being able to play in the most impactful chapter of the coalitions downfall is fire as hell, and well the whole planet lol

[wise rose]

I wish I could care about games like that but I'm hardstuck main titles

[shut merlin]

Not by release date

[dreamy geyser]

Yuh
Or you could play like a dragon since it doesn’t require you to play the others

[kindred vigil]

I would never give blizzard 10$ of my money monthly

[wise rose]

Blizzard made that?

[green gazelle]

thats like a quarter of an hour of wages bruh its not that bad

[wise rose]

Ew

[shut merlin]

Which was best in your opinion

[kindred vigil]

It's the fact it's blizzard not that it's 10$

[dreamy geyser]

I couldnt say
Didnt play them all. I just know theyre good games

[green gazelle]

Blizzard is xbox now

[dreamy geyser]

In the end
It is all xbox

[shut merlin]

Oh well good to know 😭

[kindred vigil]

I'm aware and it's still odd to me

like, it's very odd that Activision blizzard and Bethesda is Xbox

[wise rose]

McDonald's is 10 an hour where I'm at

[shut merlin]

Yes

[green gazelle]

Xbox owns us even us pc players we all submit to microsuck

[kindred vigil]

Everything is a xbox

[green gazelle]

you already know the answer to this

[wise rose]

I get Activision and Bethesda bc they kinda made xbox xbox but blizzard deserves nothing

[shut merlin]

Doesn’t activation own blizzard?

[abstract berry]

Yes

[lofty iron]

I love monster hunter

[green gazelle]

Blizzard should have to pay people in milk

[kindred vigil]

there's an Activision | blizzard company yes

[dreamy geyser]

MH4U remains my favorite

[shut merlin]

Blizzard is just there

[lofty iron]

I’ve only played world and wilds

[wise rose]

Oh no their inbreeding

[shut merlin]

I need to play the new one

[scenic meteor]

blizzard need to go bankrupt already

[lofty iron]

What do you main?

[kindred vigil]

Here's. Alist what Xbox owns

[shut merlin]

Who likes overwatch

[dreamy geyser]

Longsword
Glaives just dont hit as they did since 4U

[green gazelle]

most of the money they paid was for king and candy crush

[rapid light]

i'd love to know what 343 is cooking after infinite

[dreamy geyser]

Halo studios*

[kindred vigil]

Don't you mean halo studios

[shut merlin]

They are using ue5 and I think it will be amazing

[green gazelle]

343 had to rebrand after

[scenic meteor]

blizzard and activision having the most employees and yet the worst games is insane

[rapid light]

oh god i deadnamed halo studios 😭

[green gazelle]

halo fortnite

[dreamy geyser]

I only hope they actually get to release a complete game after how H5 and Inf released

[lofty iron]

I main dual blades and bow, i used to main long sword

[shut merlin]

What

[shut merlin]

Is it fun

[green gazelle]

lemme be real i absolutely hate unreal engine and im not even sorry

[rapid light]

5 was peak mp, i'm pretty happy with infinite aside from the campaign too

*happy with it now, it sucked on launch

[lofty iron]

I’d say so, the bow feels different than world tho

[mental mango]

Not any more I thought blizzard was bought by Microsoft

[shut merlin]

All infinite had to do was do what halo 5 did with multiplayer

[austere zodiac]

The people who used to play marvel rivals

[kindred vigil]

They are bought by Microsoft

[dreamy geyser]

And I pray that at least they bring the same amount of weapons they have in Infinite

[shut merlin]

I mean the game I haven’t played the game yet 😭

[rapid light]

nah they're gonna cut half the sandbox for no good reason again watch

[lofty iron]

Oh it’s easier than worlds so I guess it was fun for the first 40 hours

[dreamy geyser]

Cuz they already fixed Infinite
It’s fun. It got content

[shut merlin]

So much stuff they could have added and they just didn’t and now infinite is dead

[rapid light]

pleaase halo i miss my binary rifle

[kindred vigil]

I still think them buying all those studios was like such a big ass money sink ain't nothing barely good went out of it outside of raising prices

[dreamy geyser]

I only hope the next one has content

[shut merlin]

Which is the best monster hunter

[austere zodiac]

Game pass

[dreamy geyser]

4U

[kindred vigil]

We got hifi rush but they shut the studio who made it ???

[dreamy geyser]

And freedom unite

[shut merlin]

So many weapons also they could add and haven’t

[austere zodiac]

World

[scenic meteor]

they started this triple A $70 game BS with COD

[proud glade]

do not remind me

[rapid light]

why would they hifi rush was fire

[lofty iron]

Out of wilds or World? World just because there’s more shit to do in it plus the levels of difficulty and the story is more interesting and last longer

[dreamy geyser]

That was EA and Sony, not MS
They only followed

Now they followed nintendo with the 80$ price tags

[shut merlin]

Is wilds even worth it?

[dreamy geyser]

Yes

[scenic meteor]

thats true i forget the 2K series started it with sports games

[austere zodiac]

If you’ve never played monster hunter, wilds is the most beginner friendly. If you like challenge world is almost unarguably the best

[kindred vigil]

Apparently ....

It's because their game did too good and they would have to hire more staff (apparently)

[lofty iron]

Long term? Yes. short term eh arguably so

[rapid light]

but that's just not how it works

[shut merlin]

I have both wilds and worlds but never played them 😭

[mental mango]

Goes back to 1982 before online games where around

[dreamy geyser]

If only the clutch claw mechanic wasnt so mandatory in world

[shut merlin]

Payed for world and got wilds for free

[kindred vigil]

But Matt booty implied it's because their leadership got changed so idk

[austere zodiac]

Play without it

[dreamy geyser]

Not optimal
At all

[kindred vigil]

I mean tango game works is with Krafton now (pubg devs) so...

[lofty iron]

I barely used the claw ngl

[austere zodiac]

Much better game without it

[shut merlin]

I played monster hunter rise

[dreamy geyser]

It is better
But for proper runs it is still mandatory

[lofty iron]

I played the demo and went Nope

[trim summit]

[dreamy geyser]

Which I appreciate that they didnt bring it back in rise nor wilds
Only that in rise it is definitely much more fun

[shut merlin]

I thought it was fun me and my friend played it a lot

[lofty iron]

I couldn’t stand the graphics so I dipped

[dreamy geyser]

Rise’s base game is ehh
But the DLC is where the fun begins

[kindred vigil]

Cause it's a switch game at its core

[trim summit]

i need to finish P4G

[lofty iron]

Yep

[shut merlin]

Yeah I understand

[kindred vigil]

If rise had the fidelity And size of world era monster hunter people would prob be more open to it

[austere zodiac]

Is there a better place to find news on ARC than marathon discord?

[shut merlin]

The arc discord

They post all their stuff when they post anything

[lofty iron]

@dreamy geyser you’re cool

[austere zodiac]

I tried the website and discord, but it gets talked about more here than either of those

[lofty iron]

This whole chat is

[kindred vigil]

People like debating about which game they like is better when in reality they'll forget it when they sleep

[shut merlin]

Yes because they turned off chat in the discord but like their actual post go there

[dreamy geyser]

Cuz of marathon haters

[dreamy geyser]

Yo se
Im that goated

[trim summit]

i see it in my dreams, like the Emperor of Tamriel

[austere zodiac]

Which one is better?

[kindred vigil]

you spawned the horde

[safe kernel]

Its kinda sad these people entire personality is Arc raiders

[cold stump]

this is basically the cod vs halo thing again

[shut merlin]

Bro you have been here before stop trying to start stuff like I do

[rapid light]

people like arguing too much

[trim summit]

no they don’t!

[shut merlin]

Just copying what I do

[austere zodiac]

No I just play games

[lofty iron]

I played both games

[cold stump]

average employee smh

[lofty iron]

IVE PLAYED THESE GAMES BEFORE

[rapid light]

you almost got me omg

[dreamy geyser]

Im just waiting on nightreign over either arc or marathon

[austere zodiac]

Application is literally called “discord”

[cold stump]

im super worried for nightreign

[dreamy geyser]

Im not
Game’s goated

[rapid light]

i mean people not just discord lol

[austere zodiac]

Megaflop incoming

[trim summit]

hella mid

[shut merlin]

No cross play which is a huge thing in games today

[cold stump]

nightreign NEEDS aspirational content or its gonna get forgotten

[topaz comet]

Nightreign is for people who like to speed run elden ring

[trim summit]

good thing about nightreign is that i’m not missing anything if i don’t play it

[dreamy geyser]

Did it 3 times back on xbox to get the full 100%

[austere zodiac]

It’s so….. bland

[sly ibex]

that and for people that dont have the time to do a full run of it

[trim summit]

also love pvp in souls games. fromsoft got the worst servers and pvp connections

[lofty iron]

Can’t scream at kids on psn to Xbox 💔

[austere zodiac]

I thought Elden Ring is for people who like to speedrun Elden Ring?

[topaz comet]

i take my sweet ass time playing any souls game i wouldnt be able to keep up

[cold stump]

if nightreign had pvp it would be so goated

[kindred vigil]

Xbox players got enough to deal with we can have this

[dreamy geyser]

pvp wouldnt work on nighreign when the whole thing is to be against the clock to level up and hunt

[austere zodiac]

I thought it was a day/night with PvP in daytime and then bosses PvE at night. And then I watched a trailer and yeah….

[lofty iron]

they’re afraid of their true power

[dreamy geyser]

Adding pvp would just make it unplayable

[trim summit]

duskbloods is the pvpve one

[dreamy geyser]

Switch exclusive too 💔💔

[shut merlin]

Played Elden ring with their pvp 😔

[cold stump]

true souls pvpers know you can skilldiff anyone higher level than you

[lofty iron]

Play Elden ring for that

[kindred vigil]

switch exclusive pvpve souls game

Coop soulsgame

Form software making some plays eh

[topaz comet]

multiplayer on the switch 2 going to be ass

[austere zodiac]

But at that point just play ARC raiders for good pvpve

[shut merlin]

Was not fun with that pvp

[dreamy geyser]

You mean fromsoft going back to their roots by making spinoffs of their titles

[cold stump]

not for pve....

[austere zodiac]

Bastion moment

[lofty iron]

I can’t wait to watch people else play it cuz I can’t afford a 600$ console just for Bloodborne 2

[rapid light]

and im still waiting for new armored core content 😭

[kindred vigil]

BUT ITS PORTABLE THOUGH

[dreamy geyser]

Bloodborne at home

[mental mango]

Nerfed

[cold stump]

i love the arc's procedural animation and presentation but they are all one note

[trim summit]

i’m waiting for sekiro sequel 😎

[dreamy geyser]

NO DLC
NO SPINOFF
THEY ARE NOT COOKING

[lofty iron]

Love Bloodborne, I got it for 7$

[safe kernel]

So is a glock and thats cheaper

[cold stump]

WHY IT WAS PERFECT HOW IT WAS

[shut merlin]

I wanted to try and go kill someone and the person used a glitch and went across the map I could see him on the horse flying in the air and I just turned off my Xbox

[austere zodiac]

Nerf this:

[dreamy geyser]

I got it for free with PS+ and it became my second favorite game oat

[trim summit]

bloodborne peak design

[kindred vigil]

Formsoftware not giving their most wanted titles dlcs or updates or anything but decides to dick off but make a shit ton of spin offs

[lofty iron]

Yeye my friends got it for free and I helped most of them.. they sucked and stopped playing shortly after

[trim summit]

that’s not Michael Zaki

[dreamy geyser]

So only AC6 and sekiro, which is basically a one and done story

[topaz comet]

Bloodborne is decent. Arcane is kinda ass for a chunk of the game tho

[dreamy geyser]

No bloodborne remastered or even a next gen patch is insane tho

[lofty iron]

I 100% sekiro within a week when the game came out

[trim summit]

I think it’ll get the demon souls treatment with the next console

[kindred vigil]

People yearn for armord core dlc
The childs scream for sekiro 2
The men yell for bloodborne 2 + remaster
Yet no answer

[lofty iron]

Sony owns Bloodborne sadly

[cold stump]

sekiro shouldnt get a sequel and not for reasons you think

[safe kernel]

Tarkov real life is gonna smack next year ngl

[mental mango]

I can tell this next episode exotic are going be non useable

[kindred vigil]

wym next year wtf do you know @safe kernel

[safe kernel]

Cant tell u

[shut merlin]

He is getting deployed

[safe kernel]

Naw im to old for that

[kindred vigil]

alright who wanna team up for irl tarkov

[shut merlin]

Wdym to old 😭

[lofty iron]

Blame Sony HAHA they wanted to do a remaster but Sony owns the title

[safe kernel]

Im turning 24 they aint want me lol

[shut merlin]

How old is everyone I was thinking like 20 or something

[abstract berry]

Dont worry, Nintendo has extraction shooter bloodborne 😎 (its gonna be mid)

[shut merlin]

Nah you would be fine they will take anyone

[safe kernel]

Their is multiple 60+ people in here

[lofty iron]

Like titanfall 3

[shut merlin]

That can’t be good

[shut merlin]

What’s that

[rapid light]

wdym that cant be good it's a public space

[kindred vigil]

It doesn't matter how old you are YOU GET IN THAT FIELD SOLIDER‼️‼️‼️🗣️🗣️

[lofty iron]

They scrapped a extraction shooter in the titanfall universe

[kindred vigil]

wtf is that

[shut merlin]

Are you 60+ what are 60+ people doing in here go into retirement and go travel or something 😭

[cold stump]

its also multiplayer only with no crossplay capped at 30 fps

[rapid light]

i don't think i'm even eligible to enlist

[trim summit]

yakuza

[shut merlin]

I was saying that because they canceled it

[kindred vigil]

I only know dame fame nah me guy rn

[cold stump]

you know damn well that youre gonna game for your retirement

[dreamy geyser]

Fromsoft gotta ditch the platform exclusivity gameplay

[west sky]

44

[lofty iron]

For like the third time in a row

[dreamy geyser]

It’s genuinely getting annoying

[lofty iron]

But money 💰

[shut merlin]

Battlefront 3 also

[kindred vigil]

Japanese devs when the new game comes with a
Console exclusive contract

[lofty iron]

343 cancelled halo wars 3

[trim summit]

my wife left me

[shut merlin]

Nah I need that halo 3 remastered

[dreamy geyser]

Microsoft did
They canceled every plan they once had

[kindred vigil]

we know I talked about it with her

[shut merlin]

Hell no

[trim summit]

give me Halo 3 ODST remastered

[lofty iron]

Apparently hades did that for 3-6 months? But went public after that

[shut merlin]

And reach

[dreamy geyser]

We were supposed to have an ODST game similar to helldivers but MS canned it

[west sky]

Dont be sad for what you lost. Just be grateful for what you had…. Or something i dunno.

[lofty iron]

Wait after they remake the halo games on PlayStation

[kindred vigil]

As cool it sounds it was probably the best since ppl would've dogged on it for copying and halo doesn't got the rep they had before nor does Microsoft

[shut merlin]

Oh no I was just saying I need it like they need to make it

[dreamy geyser]

It was supposed to be before helldivers 2 even released
Thats the problem

[kindred vigil]

oh

[lofty iron]

I need halo 5 to be on the collection first

[surreal nova]

Playing halo on DualShocks is gonna be sacrilege

[trim summit]

they need a make a new jackie chan adventures game

[kindred vigil]

now my heart is broken, thanks number zero, 💔

[lofty iron]

It’s coming boyo, strap in

[shut merlin]

Dude

[dreamy geyser]

But now theyre finally outsourcing the IP
So more studios under MS can make halo spinoffs

[surreal nova]

Doesn’t bother me much, I’m not a symmetrical thumb having degenerate

[trim summit]

Halo on PS will be great.

[kindred vigil]

hell yeah arkane studios prey flood spin off ‼️‼️🗣️🗣️

[shut merlin]

I’m 19 and I’m old but 44 is crazy but at least you like games

[trim summit]

let people experience Halo 2 on legendary

[lofty iron]

lmao I am, I prefer DualShock over Xbox controllers

[rapid light]

no make it harder

[kindred vigil]

PlayStation players will say it suck and go play helldivers

[trim summit]

😂😂😂

[west sky]

Why didnt more people buy Pray?! It was so good 😦

[surreal nova]

You got tiny hands aye?

[shut merlin]

Had gray hairs since the 6th grade I’m just old 😔

[trim summit]

i forgot how blocky they are

[clever bluff]

If ur 22 yo life is basically ova

[lofty iron]

Pretty big ngl

[surreal nova]

I got tired of that game two weeks in

[kindred vigil]

Prey I think is in the situation where it didn't do bad but it didn't do good sales wise but I don't see them returning to jt

[west sky]

Lol yep they say you grow out of it. I say hold my controller….

[dreamy geyser]

Gears on PS

[abstract berry]

Prey Moonfall DLC was so much fun.

[shut merlin]

It’s time for me to put up the controller honestly

[safe kernel]

My dad aint even 44 lmao

Gnasher duels back on the menu!!!

[trim summit]

which way do you go, stylish action video game enjoyer?
playing dmc5
or
mediocre gatcha

[kindred vigil]

than again isn't there a literal 40+ year old YouTuber with a divorced wife who just plays gacha games and goons to it all day

tetcone or whatever that oddball name was

[trim summit]

that’s like Japan/Korea rn

[lofty iron]

Yall was talking about boring stuff, I thought I’d spice the conversation up

[kindred vigil]

Dmc5 any day

[shut merlin]

Oh poor kitty I’m sorry about that 😭

[shut merlin]

I need a cat can anyone donate

[dawn gale]

i love dmc. wish the dmc mobile game wasn't a pile of trash 😭 franchise is so dead

[west sky]

Lol i thought you were talking about the old dude who does videos on Epic Seven. :p

[trim summit]

wait for the cat distribution center

[late mantle]

is the playtest gone?

[dreamy geyser]

The same guy who cried when he got called out for having a dad that abused s*xually during his time in the army?

[rapid light]

playtest? what playtest? there never was one

[lofty iron]

I saw a cat earlier

[radiant terrace]

the time will definitely come (we've had THREE cats in our lives just run up on us and decide they live with us now lol)

[kindred vigil]

oh uh I didn't know that

[shut merlin]

Steal it

[dreamy geyser]

Now u do

[lofty iron]

I thought about it but I’d have to walk 1-2 hours with it and i went nah

[shut merlin]

What 😭

Why such a long time

[lofty iron]

My work is like 1-2 hours away

[west sky]

Yeah that was a rough situation i dont think the dude actually knew. His dad kept his past secret. But the internet means no secrets exist.

[radiant terrace]

besides, if they don't follow you around they probably live in that area (could be a community cat or someone's outside cat)

[lofty iron]

https://tenor.com/view/meme-our-now-gif-21036569

Our cat

[shut merlin]

No car?

[lofty iron]

Yep

I’m almost home actually so lol I might stop texting soon

[shut merlin]

Oh 😭 why does your work have to be so far

Going that far everyday?

That’s can’t be good and why no car?

[lofty iron]

A long reason why

[shut merlin]

Just wondering

[lofty iron]

I meant like, the reason is very long is why

[shut merlin]

Oh

[lofty iron]

Not the “long reason, why?”

[shut merlin]

I should have known 😭

But no bus or train?

[lofty iron]

I could take a bus but I heard recently people are getting stabbed or there’s junkies on the bus

[kindred vigil]

New York buses

[shut merlin]

Oh hell nah nevermind 😭

[west sky]

Bus or train? Must must not live in america 🤣

[shut merlin]

In London or something?

[shut merlin]

Depend on the area but I always guess people live in better states than me

[rapid light]

Someone got stabbed in my front yard a month or two back

[shut merlin]

😭

[west sky]

They just made a light rail in seattle and i hear the same thing.

[rapid light]

okay well, not IN the front yard, but very near

[shut merlin]

That’s still bad 😭

[safe kernel]

Interesting

Do the police have leads u know just wondering

[rapid light]

dunno i wasn't involved

[safe kernel]

Ok good good

[west sky]

Rev over there keeping head down and living life.

[kindred vigil]

[trim summit]

[dreamy geyser]

Gotta put him down

[west sky]

I always freak out a bit going home. I get off work at 430am and i have to always drive through a homeless community. Most of the time they are chill but sometimes man…they are in the middle of the road uh…clearly not right in the head.

[kindred vigil]

Now he's 1000x worse

[kindred vigil]

https://youtu.be/HsP5ON4lgO0?feature=shared does this play whenever you see them

[shut merlin]

That’s what drugs does to you

Pretty sad

[safe kernel]

That's just propaganda

Lol

[woven coral]

game price?

[shut merlin]

Uh no 😭

[cold stump]

likely 40 bucks

[kindred vigil]

Rumor 40$

[safe kernel]

The rage bait got him

[abstract berry]

They experiencing such a cooler world in that moment on God

[woven coral]

damn

ok

[shut merlin]

You are now my least favorite person

[safe kernel]

Good i see this paying off in my favor

[shut merlin]

Rage bait in the big 25

[abstract berry]

🎣

God i do not like fishing

[safe kernel]

Rage bait and propaganda are the best swaying powers we have

[kindred vigil]

Rage bait in 25 is still going strong

[rapid light]

yo juiced it says gullible on ur ceiling

[west sky]

It really is. Oh yeah almost funny story. Im really into music gear so i left a friends place and on my way home at about 3am i stopped off another friends house to drop off a synth. There was a statue across the street at a bus stop. I thought “thats weird” but this is seattle. Hung out a bit talking shop and a car passes by…the statue twitched… i said goodbye got back in my truck and didnt look back.

[kindred vigil]

When it comes to baiter

Do you want rage, or master in the front is the question...

[abstract berry]

Holy shit left 4 dead witch irl!

[flat depot]

Neko arc

[safe kernel]

Depends on the context

[flat depot]

Rodrickbait is just better

[shut merlin]

Alright @safe kernel this person is my least favorite

[kindred vigil]

Is this a diary of wimpy kid ref

[abstract berry]

What do you give a fish? Fish bait. What do you give a bear? Bear bait. What do you give a rat? Rat bait. Now, what do you give a master…

[supple hound]

hey mister rager

[shut merlin]

😭

[kindred vigil]

you got weeping angels I think

[shut merlin]

Alright 😭

[west sky]

Man those are freaky. But yeah didn’t look back to find out.

[kindred vigil]

Which gacha is this one chat

[west sky]

Now i understand why my friends where concerned when i told them where i was heading on my way home.

[supple hound]

you play genshin impactuh?

[kindred vigil]

I hate genshin

[flint scroll]

is the maraton alpha alread yover

[west sky]

Yep

[supple hound]

yup on the 6th

[kindred vigil]

Yes

[flint scroll]

anyone here that played got their opinions it theyd like to share

[west sky]

Bah you a Melty Blood fan?!

[flint scroll]

im wondering if i should buy the game when it comes out

[flat depot]

Potato

[kindred vigil]

I'm not a fan of 90% of things I make my pfps

[safe kernel]

Yes we will receive more info on the 16th

[west sky]

Boooo

[kindred vigil]

I know what she is from and what melty blood is though

[west sky]

Lol

[kindred vigil]

But I haven't touched anything fate wise since the mobile game for like 10 minutes

[cold stump]

i played it in my dream 77/10

[west sky]

I mostly know her from the fighting game

[flint scroll]

lmaooo

[kindred vigil]

I'm lazy but

Tldr

Gunplay good
Aesthetic good
Maps good
Lore good
Pvp is long (ttk)
Loop is boring
Low risk/low reward = yucky
Lack of immersion

[west sky]

Harsh. But fair

[cold stump]

i think low risk low reward is addressed by the more aspirational, harder maps

[wild tapir]

Always wanted to dive into Fate’s universe, but it’s a mess to get started

[kindred vigil]

I'm a solo player mainly so take my opinions with a grain of sand, this is a game MEANT for trio

[lofty iron]

I play genshin, zzz and star rail and I dislike genshin the most

[kindred vigil]

well at least ur aware good on u

[safe kernel]

U think ttk is to long with white shield

[rapid light]

lot of my friends play star rail the temptation is strong

[kindred vigil]

well as a solo yes but if you're a trio the ttk is fine (until the enemy isn't using a white)

[lofty iron]

Second anniversary is going on right now

[west sky]

Star Rail is really good though

[kindred vigil]

Like when I was fighting a blue shield in my trio it felt like I was shooting pennies

[lofty iron]

You get free pulls and a free character rn

[west sky]

I just got board of the combat.

[supple hound]

when i was watching the PlayMA, he got too close to some bushes and a bunch of alien birds flew out, made me jump, immersioned x10

[wild tapir]

I went hard on Genshin at the gacha dawn, and now other gachas make me gag

[safe kernel]

I also imagine loop will be better full game

[rapid light]

I'll go and install it then ty

[kindred vigil]

but I assume most my complaints will probably be gone by beta anyway but I'm not a hardcore critic so idk wtf I'm saying

[safe kernel]

Eh better to have complaints and voice them then to have played and said nothing

[kindred vigil]

If you played apex, you'll kinda get the vibe from it in marathon, though idk where the hell warzone or cod comparisons r coming in

[shut merlin]

Apex

[safe kernel]

What aspects of apex tho

[kindred vigil]

pvp mainly

I've seen some say it feels exactly like you're fighting in apex in terms of shields and I kinda get that sentiment

but like it also feels like a destiny pvp game cause how Bungie makes their gunplay so I mean it's 50/50

[west sky]

Time to actually do my job again >.< see you folks in a bit

[kindred vigil]

censor that word thanks

[wild tapir]

Marathon aligns more with The Cycle: Frontier, pfhor sure

[flat depot]

Call it eating burgers please

[rapid light]

yea you'll hurt the gamers

[kindred vigil]

My memory with that game is a 1 match GeForce stream so I don't remember SHIT from cycle so Idk if the comparisons r even true

but with how people mention it I'll just believe it

[west sky]

Bah now im hungry!

[shut merlin]

Censor what word?

[kindred vigil]

J*b

[shut merlin]

JOB

[wild tapir]

I’ve clocked around 300 hours in The Cycle: Frontier—hands-down the best extraction shooter I’ve played

[frozen coral]

its like a halo swat version of apex

[surreal nova]

I know a woman who has a full time job, a whole baby, and still plays games for 4-5 hours a day

[slow epoch]

/dac

[shut merlin]

What’s wrong with job

[flat depot]

Eat it

[valid stone]

I have a full time baby, a whole job and play games 1 hour a day

[kindred vigil]

If you don't actually know it's just a meme that anything job related is offensive

[flat depot]

Does she sleep

[shut merlin]

Yes I know it’s just funny to me

[gusty eagle]

what stream on may 16th

[frozen coral]

i miss you.........

[surreal nova]

Probably not, she messages me on Xbox app odd hours of the night

[kindred vigil]

PlayMA stream

[gusty eagle]

will it tell next open test time

[kindred vigil]

We don't know

[wild tapir]

With just one day off this year, I still squeeze in gaming. And three hours of sleep isn’t a huge loss

[lofty iron]

Signalis was peak

[kindred vigil]

1 day off for a year wtf are you working for Mr krabs

[shut merlin]

What 😭

I can’t sleep because of insomnia but being able to just stay up for games is crazy

[surreal nova]

That’s absolutely wild. If I get 3 hours of sleep a night I’m just a whole different person. 7 hours minimum

[kindred vigil]

When you lock in you can really stay awake to play stuff

[kindred vigil]

then you hear the birds chirping then you realized you're awake to long

Wait actually the concept of birds and roosters r crazy what do u mean we have natural animal alarms

[shut merlin]

I work 60 hours a week 5 days a week so I get weekends

[surreal nova]

The sun rises here at 5:10am now

[ionic flame]

In my restless dreams, I see that game. Marathon Closed Alpha Test.

[surreal nova]

I don’t need any animals to be up way too early

[kindred vigil]

ngl being woken up by a rooster sounds fire

[surreal nova]

W reference

[shut merlin]

What 😭

[rapid light]

being woken up by birds is wonderful but they usually come out before i've slept lol

[surreal nova]

What time do you normally sleep?

[kindred vigil]

The cockadoodledoo birds

[rapid light]

anywhere from 10pm to 8am it's rough

[shut merlin]

Yes that’s crazy I can’t even sleep at all at night or like until 5 or 6 but that’s only like an hour of sleep for me because of work 😭

[rapid light]

i get frequent nightmares so sometimes i just don't want to sleep

til i can't stay up

[frozen coral]

does the cat run everything like the dog

[surreal nova]

Aww that’s unfortunate. Are they like horror movie nightmares or “I’m married with two children and my life hasn’t gone the way I want” nightmares

[rapid light]

scary ones

[shut merlin]

Isn’t that a black bear

Not brown

[surreal nova]

Yes it is…

[rapid light]

why do they do that anyway

[frozen coral]

they like to be annoying

[kindred vigil]

internal alarm clock iirc

Like when the light changes it triggers them to do that, they do it for variety reasons but like they do have an alarm clock to do that too

[frozen coral]

if i was a bird waking people up as loud as possible would be funny as fuck

[kindred vigil]

And there's like quite a bit of videos of people having roosters as house pets and them climbing on someone sleeping waking them up 😭

[west sky]

1 hour a day?! You poor soul

[shut merlin]

I just need a cat 😔 that’s all I need in life right now

[surreal nova]

My neighbors had chickens at one point and if their motion sensing lights got triggered at night the roosters would absolutely crow

[valid stone]

I lied bro I’m a virgin and I play games like 4 hours a day

[west sky]

I only work 3 days a week but loooong days. No kids and a gaming wife so lots of game time

[echo shuttle]

I AM HERE.

[kindred vigil]

did they get noise complaints cause that sounds annoying

[west sky]

Frogita!

[surreal nova]

Nah a mountain lion ate them all

[echo shuttle]

I know yal missed me. Yeahhhh its frogita!!

[kindred vigil]

IDK what's more annoying someone owning a pet chicken or someone owning a howling dog

[grim juniper]

why is pinterest so bad

[surreal nova]

Actually, it murdered all of them and just ate a couple. Apparently it’s something predators do

[west sky]

Both?

[surreal nova]

What the hell was that

[west sky]

You had to be there

[rapid light]

gotta be wind chimes in a compact neighborhood

[shut merlin]

Pixel is back

[kindred vigil]

I thought wind chimes r supposed to sound nice

[rapid light]

they do during the day but they're very loud

[surreal nova]

No, they annoy the shit out of me.

[rapid light]

windy nights you never stop hearing their ringing

[kindred vigil]

Actually idk if that's less annoying than a big ass bell being rung whenever a specific time is reached

[shut merlin]

Wow 😭 at least you are happy right?

[valid stone]

Yeah nobody said anything about being happy

[kindred vigil]

That shit scares me makes me feel the knights are doing a crusade or something

[rapid light]

a bell of awakening has been rung

[shut merlin]

😭

Uh at least you play good games right?

[valid stone]

sometimes they suck

[shut merlin]

Favorite game?

[west sky]

Life is too short for bad games

[wild tapir]

Happiness is just a society-imposed feeling — gotta grind that cash instead

[surreal nova]

I dunno why but I’m thinking about my first time ever playing donkey kong country. What a great game

[kindred vigil]

Every single tiktok guru

[valid stone]

Xenogears

[shut merlin]

Never heard of it

[west sky]

Good choice!

[west sky]

What?! Oh right 19…

[kindred vigil]

Are people even humans?

[supple hound]

love niche stuff like that, so hard to name favorite games

[surreal nova]

Gotta be KOTOR. Halo CE close second

[echo shuttle]

Guys Bonita or no Bonita?:3

[shut merlin]

My bad 😭

[supple hound]

gooba geebagooba gooba gee

[west sky]

Xenoblade Chronicles is what became of Xenogears

[echo shuttle]

Guys??? :(

[supple hound]

do you feel bonita?

[wild tapir]

Is Rimworld a niche game nowadays?

[echo shuttle]

I FEEL BONITA!

[shut merlin]

Yeah never played that one but I know what it is

[west sky]

100% yes

[supple hound]

because... its... overr WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[wild tapir]

Nah, we gonna get remaster, just like for Bloodborne

[valid stone]

I think Guerilla Games hates Killzone

[shut merlin]

Sorry to tell you

[kindred vigil]

Killzone will return in 5 years

Kingdom hearts 4 will be real

[surreal nova]

That’s because it’s over and has been for a little while now. You are too late. The princess is in another castle.

[kindred vigil]

Final fantasy versus 13 will be finished and released

[west sky]

Man that 3D tv craze did not last long

[final plover]

I wanna see Sora swinging with Spider-Man

[supple hound]

i played the intro of kingdom hearts 2 over and over again as a kid in maximum confusion, i need to actually play them all

[surreal nova]

I wonder if we’ll ever get planetside 3

[kindred vigil]

I own kingdom hearts 1.5/2.5 collection and I still haven't started 😭

[west sky]

Oops actually same

[supple hound]

i must sink myself into the brain melting disney cross over key sword universe

[west sky]

I mean gta6

[supple hound]

leaning towards 2026

Subnautica 2?

[wild tapir]

Actually not interested in release of GTAVI am i coocked?

RDR2 was nice tho

[kindred vigil]

no it's called having preferences

[safe kernel]

No dog its been to long it will be delayed again

[shut merlin]

YES

[kindred vigil]

I used to be excited for GTA 6 initial trailer but now idk I'm over it it's like yeah ok it'll exist

[shut merlin]

It will literally be all over my screen when subnatica 2 come out

[rapid light]

splitgate 2 is big for 2025

[kindred vigil]

I think it was better when I didn't know if GTA 6 was even real

[supple hound]

RAHHHH i havent heard many people talk about it, im so excited (i have severe thallasaphobia and couldnt beat the 1st)

[final plover]

Dropped RDR2 after Arthur wouldn’t stop coughing

[shut merlin]

This too

[safe kernel]

Pc gta 6 wont even be out till a year after console release and console is locked 30fps

[wild tapir]

And for PC its gonna be like in 2027+ i think

[kindred vigil]

they bought fiveM so I mean I think they're using roleplay as some inspiration

[safe kernel]

They bought it so they can shut it down when gta 6 mp comes out

Wouldnt be suprised

[shut merlin]

Anyone ever play outlast trials?

[kindred vigil]

isn't that the outlast game dead by daylight edition

[shut merlin]

Huh 😭

[wild tapir]

What do you think guys about witcher x dead by daylight collab

[kindred vigil]

doesn't it play like dead by daylight kinda idk I don't remember

[rapid light]

someone told me i look like i’d hit the f out of dbd skillchecks unprompted once, still wish i knew what he meant by that

[safe kernel]

Thats crazy

[kindred vigil]

They're collabing with anime and fnaf I don't think I'm shocked about whatever dbd is doing

[shut merlin]

It’s a horror game first person and do some task and dodge monsters so no it’s not like someone plays the monster 😭

[wild tapir]

Kinda out off place that Gerald gonna run from things that he can crush with bare hands

[kindred vigil]

Wait I thought it's 4 survivors and they have to escape and there's a person that's tryna kill them just like dbd

Guess not

[shut merlin]

Like yes in a way but the person isn’t like an actual person playing it

Tons of monsters around

[rapid light]

feels like an insult lol

[kindred vigil]

Dbd was a cool concept with horror movie and original characters being in a slasher like game

That...was ruined when they started to add anime fnaf and other weird collabs

[shut merlin]

It’s fun

[shut merlin]

Yeah I haven’t played it forever

Forgot a doom game is coming out

[kindred vigil]

It's a linear, 40-50$ game, not too long, I think it'll do well, it's what some ppl been looking for

[wild tapir]

Its not gonna be open world like before, little bit strange

[kindred vigil]

And mafia has been needing some attention so

I mean if i recall it's a prequel so I think that's fine

portable gaming I guess

But we have steam decks for that

[celest raft]

been playing REPO for the first time with my GF for about an hour or two now

this game rules

idk why I was replying to someone?-

[rapid light]

discord’s funky like that

[kindred vigil]

Is repo one of those gaming fads like lethal company and that one game where u record monsters

[wild tapir]

Console gaming kinda passed me by — plus, in the country I live in, most people are all about PC anyway. But i still have and play sometimes Dendy(NES)

[shut merlin]

More like lethal company

[kindred vigil]

playing on dendy 💔💔

[kindred vigil]

how long will this game trend for I wonder

cuz I feel like I only saw lethal for a month before it disappeared

[wild tapir]

Mods keeping it alive

[shut merlin]

That’s all games now

[wild tapir]

Got very excited about Jump Ship, coop game in space

Like barotrauma in 3d

[kindred vigil]

That's how I feel with sparking zero

The hype for that game was immense then It died down in like 2 weeks and now no one's talking about it insane ass fall off

[wild tapir]

4 people on ship, you got roles, captain/engineer/gunner etc, and jump around space and do missions, also there is gonna be campaign

[kindred vigil]

Among us pve edition awesome

[edgy chasm]

I have a shout out to all who took part in the tests.. did the colonial environments, i.e. buildings and objects, not seem too clean to you.. In the trailer, which is brilliant, you could see dust everywhere and you could feel that this colony was abandoned.. However, while playing, I had the impression that everything looked as if it had just been printed.. cleaned and painted.

I understand the stylistic intention of this title.. The desire to create a surreal feeling of being in this world. But the lack of grounding of artificial structures in the game world makes it look like Place Holder..

Was it just me who had this impression?

[kindred vigil]

No I also felt the maps were to "clean" but I do think there will be maps that show more destruction, they also said these aren't the final looks so they could look better when the beta drops

[final plover]

Textures all look flat. Environments uninspired

[kindred vigil]

The interior textures look great though

Well yeah considering alpha we got was a pre pre alpha build if I'm remembering right

[final plover]

I’m curious as to how much they’ll improve this game. Hopefully turns out well

[kindred vigil]

I just hope they make the grass more....real looking, I don't really like how plastic it looks even if it's intentional (than again it could just not be finished), I think foliage looking more "real" will look better

Because like, it's not like plant life or anything is 3d printed unlike the manmade stuff so it would make sense

[shut merlin]

I would just like to play the game

[kindred vigil]

I don't see it being delayed again

[valid stone]

Marathon needs less graphic and more realism

[kindred vigil]

I'm curious what the original style of the graphic realism instead of the graphic simplified they went with looks like

The old build with the oxygen system, limb system, and presumed realistic style would be a interesting thing to see

[wild tapir]

Ye, but I thought they especially told that outside look is far from completion

[kindred vigil]

Yeah that's why I edited it, its most likely unfinished, I'm just saying early wants

[mild steppe]

The oxygen system sounded terrible

[kindred vigil]

For all we know the game could look completely different by the beta (which I assume would be halflt true)

[frozen coral]

?

[kindred vigil]

Playtesters from the time said it was horrible, actually at the time with the old game director they said the game was really bad

Compared to new play tests where they said the game is fun/good and could make it

[wild tapir]

Still can't get why style of environment and characters got so many people mad

[frozen coral]

im a huge fan of everything regarding the games artstyle

[final plover]

UI is ugly

[kindred vigil]

So whatever the old game director was making they were NOT liking it

[final plover]

Too much grey

[rapid light]

the cinematic trailers were beautiful so if it’s anything like that it’ll be good

[sturdy bison]

yea this game gonna delay

[rapid light]

can’t say for certain until the game is finished

[kindred vigil]

come on now since when most games look like their high budget cinematic trailers

[sturdy bison]

just let it cook and redo movement with more things for gameplay loop

[edgy chasm]

I think that if they already have the gameplay side of the game developed and polished, then devoting the next few months to working on the graphics is very realistic.

[wild tapir]

I dont mind if they gonna delay it for make it more polished and bring more content

[rapid light]

cmon now you know i mean the art direction and style not the fidelity

[frozen coral]

what movement do they need to redo the heat system felt fine

[rapid light]

idk what the alpha looked like i didn’t play

[kindred vigil]

Uhh not as realistic as the cinematic trailer that's for sure

[rapid light]

obviously

[kindred vigil]

Though I think the style is there but just more bright

[frozen coral]

exterior environments were the only short coming for renders its a night and day difference when you exit/enter a building

[sturdy bison]

heat im like its kinda annoying but comes in clutch when you got a blackbird or glitch ult

[kindred vigil]

Yeah the exterior of the alpha looked ugly but by God the interiors looked nice

[rapid light]

i’m betting the release vers will look great all around then

[frozen coral]

i think if they simply reduce the amoutn of heat generated by slides it should be fine you can definintely move around the maps enough where heat doesnt effect you

[wild tapir]

But if they leaning more towards Lore side, i think they probably will release it on september, and gonna bring content with Seasons, and try to be like helldivers

[valid stone]

As everyone says, indoors look great, but the characters can and should look closer to what we saw in the cinematic, and the outdoors obviously need to look way better. I think they can get there but yeah

[frozen coral]

i loved glitch in fights the simple verticality made every fight so much easier

[wild tapir]

And i dont mind it

[sturdy bison]

like adding no heat use sliding down the hills

[indigo maple]

fr the high saturation is a big inspo for my game

that and phyconauts

[frozen coral]

i think the pacing in fights heats very well managed and adds decision making that prevents the game from just being apeing all match

i had so much fun in the alpha cant wait to see what map 3 plays like

[indigo maple]

the wip shots go hard

[frozen coral]

void was like the only gameplay problem i felt cause how do you make invisibility like that not feel obnoxious

[frozen coral]

the lack of momentum felt really weird

[mild steppe]

Them delaying won’t change anything, people have made up their minds in fact it would hurt the hype. Drop in 5 months with the best product they have and keep moving forward. At worst go early access on the planned launch date.

[kindred vigil]

it probably needs that halo type invisible where if you move it makes you more visible or smth idk but that needs to be tuned though

[frozen coral]

i think

he should only be silent when crouch walking during invis

also theres no way they dont change the cap on chem nades wdym its 1 frag per slot but i can carry 5 chems per stack

i think they overestimated how many people actualy rememberd to use mechanic kits

[sturdy bison]

yeaaa lol like had me like the cat meme

[frozen coral]

its what mostly turned me off locus cause the air dash didnt feel good at all with how the gravity works

[wild tapir]

For me, lore is not a high priority (although I love the Marathon series very much). I have played Tarkov for over 2,000 hours and still don't understand what's going on. I'm not even sure if I have ever read the descriptions of any quests. It a core gameplay and ludo-like gameplay, what hooked me up

[kindred vigil]

Most people don't read lore in video games so while marathon lore is good I hope they focus a bit more gameplay wise cause like that's what makes people play these type of games anyway

[frozen coral]

they need to add esoteric lore terminals in like one random poi every map and make byf have to play a pvp game to get lore material

[kindred vigil]

They will have terminals they confirmed that

[winter tulip]

should be like the green i think but is like the red rn with locus

[valid stone]

I wonder if it will be technically possible to do the marathon ship with procure on site gear, or if they limit entrance by gear or something

[frozen coral]

sliding off a building with glitch just to drop like an anchor and have a super awkward double jump

i never touched blackbird but dealing with the seeker with enemies it can lowkey fuck off

i hate the scarab

[nova moss]

content warning is pretty fun though, watching the videos you recorded with friends at the end is probably one of the coolest new ideas ive seen in a game in a long time

repo is full of anti fun mechanics where the enemies run around a corner and you just die instantly and you get to sit there and watch

like cool i literally dont know what i could have done differently

[kindred vigil]

content warning looks like a game where u definitely need a funny group or else it will not hit

[nova moss]

when it hits it hits bro

i wish they would release a modding api or add more stuff to it

[winter tulip]

indeed - usually if u have a good group of friends uve known for a while, its fun as shit

[kindred vigil]

well as headass this sounds any game with a funny friend group would make the worst games hit

Like could probably make cooking mama look interesting

[frozen coral]

im hoping the gun distribtion was just cause of a lack of the rest of the guns being in the game cause with the 44 hours i played the alpha i only ever found one m77

[kindred vigil]

Me too cuz like I barely found guns like that tbh outside of the sniper and the energy guns

[frozen coral]

it took me 28 hours to find my first repeater

[kindred vigil]

Like I legit haven't found a shotgun at all during my time playing until I saw it on a dead body

Like I couldn't find guns and at first I was wondering how the hell are people even getting guns

[frozen coral]

arms locker on hauler

[kindred vigil]

yeah I found out arms locker existed, I thought I just had to get lucky with bots or container spawns

[frozen coral]

hauler is the only poi worth going to on perimeter lowkey

somehow both relay sites have like nothing useful on them

[kindred vigil]

It feels like it's the only place with consistent loot and weapon lockers

[frozen coral]

maybe i played too much dire marsh but perimeter has nooooothinng

if you dont have keys to locked rooms hauler is the ony spot with guns

[trim summit]

like most streamer games

[frozen coral]

its also the only spot youll be able to consistently find a fight

they could easily up the player count by one team per map and the game would not suffer

[kindred vigil]

Yeah it felt quite a while for pvp engagements to happen unless ur in a more hot spot area

Though I always found people on dire marsh

[frozen coral]

the final two days i literaly only went in with sponsored kits to grief other teams

[valid stone]

Kinda sounded like a lot of people were worried about spawn rushing and all that

[devout quartz]

guys do you have any setups for iphones inspired by marathon color scheme and just icons and fonts and whatever? could u send me in dms

[frozen coral]

?

[wild tapir]

Hunt showdown and tarkov still has this problem, and games like 7 years old

[celest raft]

nawwww that clown thing in Repo with the laser just got me 😭

[kindred vigil]

I think the fuck part got auto mod confused

[frozen coral]

spawn rushing wasnt really an issue it takes minimum like 1:30 for a team to reach you and they usually dont run to you unless theres already shooting happening

[sturdy bison]

lol yea they need to get more test in and get way more feedback, specially competitive players from shooting games to see how the pvp can get better and to make differences in skill gap (fluidity with movement and shooting) not saying like cod but has to a mix of games to out smart or outplay people.

[wild tapir]

Dont know how they are gonna implement scav system, i think free basic gear is more like scenario

[frozen coral]

the audio in the game has a really weird mixing problem of you are really only able to hear gunshots if you are within like 100 meters of the area and outside of that its silent

[wild tapir]

Coupon system in Delta Force is also possible variant

[kindred vigil]

what's the coupon system

[frozen coral]

alpha felt super aim heavy and i personally like it like that

[wild tapir]

10 free basic gear coupons in a day, and you can earn blue and purple coupons for complete missions (for get more powerfull stuff)

Coupon get you weapon armor ammo and meds

[frozen coral]

i imagine you do like a scav contract and you get a free item in the black market for you real runner

[kindred vigil]

I see

can that game come to consoles already damn

[sturdy bison]

too heavy which makes no sense if its the future

[frozen coral]

i think its entirely intended to be that way through heat but yeah i get it i think the open environments can use a little more cover

the space between north relay and its bottom left area where that high value target usually is is an evil spot to be in

[wild tapir]

There was a limb damage system in previous testing? I like that, and i fell it must be in these type of games, also headshots need to be more rewarding

[kindred vigil]

playtesters at the time said they hated that
Same with the oxygen system

[versed lagoon]

Wait so there isn’t an oxygen system? Is there a timer now per match for every player?

[kindred vigil]

yes

[frozen coral]

its 25 minutes a match before forced exfil

and you have 3 minutes to leave

[frozen coral]

i think headshots felt fine the marksmans absolutely demolished players

the two tap was disgusting

[wild tapir]

I dont know what the Oxygen system, but i hate everything that push you to be faster

[kindred vigil]

Iirc oxygen worked like a personal timer for yourself, had to find O2 throughout the map

And I think ur oxygen could be blown off you,

As well you had injuries

(And apparently there was perma death?)

It seems the old game director wanted it to be a bit more...challenging in some regard

[frozen coral]

from the sounds of it

its a good thing he was replaced lmao these sound awful for player retention

[mild steppe]

Facts

[kindred vigil]

Yeah I remember reading people hated the game at the time and said it was horrible the positive change of play tester reaction with Joe is noticable at least

[versed lagoon]

Yeah I heard something about being able to shoot at a players’ oxygen tank which would make their o2 run out quicker

[mild steppe]

What y’all think we are going to hear on may 16th?

[versed lagoon]

Like cause a leak in the canister

[frozen coral]

the only cut feature that sounds interesting is the limb mechanics but that sounds like a lot of effort for how often you are getting into gunfights and how long some last

finishing a fight with 3 cmndrs just to break your leg and being unable to run afte dropping a milimeter too high

[kindred vigil]

"The oxygen system also ties somewhat into the injury system of Marathon, with certain injuries causing the player to suffer different effects. For example, being shot in the waist area may cause damage to your oxygen supply, which will cause it to deplete more rapdily. Another example given was being concussed, which would cause the player’s screen to blur periodically"

[versed lagoon]

Yeah imagine getting shot in the knee and that’s just GGs

[wild tapir]

Perma death is kind works in Marathon realities, if i understood it right. Like in Hunt: Showdown

[frozen coral]

current debuff system sounds like enough as is

reduced healing one has me tweaking if im unlucky enough to not find mechanic kits

180 seconds of 6 second patch kits

💔

[wild tapir]

Make me remember ton of my games where i kill like 3 squads and then died to a scav near exit, because one pellet of 7mm buckshot hit my ear

[frozen coral]

thats another thing im so happy marathon doesnt have is instant headshot kills

tarkov seems unbearable to play sometimes cause imagine fighting for 15 minutes straight just for a guy to hip fire and be lucky enough to hit a stray headshot

[kindred vigil]

About to extract and you get to exicited so you start running but you break your leg

• you're bleeding
• you're suffering a infection!
• your oxygen is depleting!

Holy shit I couldn't imagine that

[valid stone]

Something something friction something shroud blah blah

[frozen coral]

instead its getting hit by a chem nade and a blackbird drone so you are at max heat poison dmg and reduced healing 🧘‍♂️

[kindred vigil]

ah yes I love the chem grenade spam as the glitch suddenly uses that one ability that summons that damn ball blast as a blackbird uses their drone

[frozen coral]

overcharging a team thats about to leave so they all bounce out of the bubble is the most evil thing ive done

[kindred vigil]

Don't get hit by a sniper and you'll be ok

cuz hitscan 1 shot headshot snipers r something else

[frozen coral]

the scope glare is lowkey good enough that you have to be kind of oblivious not to see it

[kindred vigil]

yeah true it's like very very bright but sometimes u can't notice it if you're not aware of someone else possibly sniping

[terse epoch]

Basketball

[frozen coral]

only times ive gotten killed is cause im actively fighting their teammates and some void player is in another poi with it

[kindred vigil]

I remember running and I got sniped so randomly by someone

and it was a cod pro sniper at that 😭

[frozen coral]

so true bomb bay

[kindred vigil]

Holy shit it's shaq!!!!!

[terse epoch]

https://tenor.com/view/yes-gif-567428682955312229

This is so not basketball right there

[kindred vigil]

LeBron James would never embed fail

[celest raft]

💀

yeah we are not paying the taxman with this one

[frozen coral]

i dont care who the company sends i am not paying my taxes

[celest raft]

how else do u get that sweet tax return tho

[pearl mica]

Bungie if you see this I keep getting Error Cabbage in Destiny 2 I can’t do anything

[frozen coral]

🏀

[wooden pendant]

chat pray for me, i got diagnosed with fucking beautiful and it's terminal

[safe kernel]

Anyone here own a PSA AK 103

[terse epoch]

Had to edit that photo, also basketball

[livid jungle]

i really wish i could try the game out

[west sky]

Okay gave my guys an hour lunch. Im freeeee

[livid jungle]

i really do because i think bad naritives from other pubs are hurting it

[terse epoch]

** J O I N N O W**

1. Type: /basketball
2. ENJOY!

[wild tapir]

I think its still gonna get stable player base, like hunt showdown for example(17-25k players), but will it be financially worth it for Bungie is a big question

[ancient fern]

And Sony

[wild tapir]

Forgot about sony

[glacial bane]

Did concord have mtx

[wild tapir]

its over

Mtx is live service games heart, kinda

Not against it

But you can make it good like helldivers for example

I cant have enough time to grind credits to buy warbans atm, so i dont mind buy them

And cosmetics from shop

[glacial bane]

I agree. Not against a good implementation of it. Bungo has the worst reputation for their implementation though. Still, I have a feeling that the whales will save this game financially even if marathon gets a low player base

I mean I hope so

[humble spruce]

How do you join the play test?

[glacial bane]

I don't care about numbers, I just wanna play the game

[wild tapir]

It ended 4 may

[glacial bane]

Waiting for the new one to announce

[silk flame]

Next one is on May 16th if #marathon-news is to be believed

[magic rose]

wouldnt it be funny as like a little joke if they released it early like tonight for 200 dollars

[livid jungle]

my heart goes out to you all.
