[agile swan]

Now who here has done an ironman run?

[magic rose]

The vibe most people have

[pastel frigate]

🫃 🫃 🫃

[lilac marlin]

I missed something idk

[scenic meteor]

besides how the alpha went compared to its competitor

[torpid plover]

100%, so let's discuss Arc Raiders some more

[open remnant]

Turns out to be 30 mins of fan cosplay/art 🤣

[torpid plover]

That'd be wild ngl

[untold fern]

fr, im hoping for another alpha cause would make sense

we had 0.5.0 alpha

so surely 1.0.0 will be announced

[agile swan]

Then a bunch of nothing burgers about how they had fun playing as which character, and stream is done

[deep lantern]

another alpha would just be it for marathon’s chances, you saw how the last one went

[torpid plover]

I heard someone mention it was going to be internal playtest with the devs playing the game, so here's that

[scenic meteor]

they already said they are doing a beta sometime

[magic rose]

I feel like, I’m gonna gamble my emotions away for this, we will get another alpha in a month or two, then after that another month wait for beta, which put them close to release

[deep lantern]

they’ll really need to zero in who they want to play the beta

[fiery trench]

Probably in about 2 months time

[untold fern]

yeah probably too late for another alpha

[deep lantern]

because a lot of people who got keys just didn’t even like the game

which makes that entirely pointless

[torpid plover]

It'd be better if they launched an open beta for EVERYONE to try it

[mental mango]

We don’t know as of yet make note as informed

[magic rose]

There people who also lost access to their key due to a steam issue

[deep lantern]

maybe.

[fiery trench]

Everyone I know that gone one loved it, I seen mostly people without keys hating on it

[deep lantern]

true that, it’s very predominantly people who have barely any knowledge on the game who don’t like it

[torpid plover]

I seen the player count drop by 80% on Steam on the 2nd day

[scenic meteor]

more than 80% more like 200%

[magic rose]

A lot of people were on console too

[torpid plover]

I'm talking about Steam numbers only here

[magic rose]

Steam count doesn’t count console player count at all

[gritty urchin]

Exactly right, the retention wasn’t there. Also I saw allot of people talking about the player count when in reality it doesn’t matter, it’s the RETENTION. Did the player base feel engaged enough to keep playing is the real question. Does the game have longevity?

[mental mango]

Ok then I di the result all ready and nothing shows

[untold fern]

😭

[magic rose]

With steam it make sense since maybe had pc issues like it was bad

[deep lantern]

did you skull react your own message

[torpid plover]

Yes, but steam is PC platform anyway

[agile swan]

"alot"

15 players

[magic rose]

😭 I’m just saying

[magic rose]

I mean if that makes you happy

[fiery trench]

Some people who tried just don’t like extractions but gave it a try which is unfortunate but every body I played with from lfg’s all had nothing but praise to say

[magic rose]

pc did have a lot of issues i wont lie so it make sense

[deep lantern]

i thought it looked neat gameplay-wise

[torpid plover]

I mean a lot of people tried Arc Raiders, I didn't see the player count on Steam drop by 80%

[jagged trail]

Still needs prox chat

[deep lantern]

but i guess i wont know for sure now

[mental mango]

But you p.c players must understand we console players are left in darkness realms

[agile swan]

Bu but? The safe space???

[untold fern]

nah thats fair i agree i would deff sink in hours to the game been highly anticipated ngl

[deep lantern]

people literally just compare arc when it’s hardly even similar beyond being an extraction shooter

[jagged trail]

Then they can turn it off lol

[scenic meteor]

gotta account for the keys they sent in trust

[deep lantern]

they’re not even similar stylistically

[torpid plover]

People compare Tarkov to any other extraction shooter in existence, your point?

[magic rose]

Don’t blame you, so will I. My fiance may shoot me but hey, I’m happy to find a game that hasn’t trigger my motion sickness

[gritty urchin]

Leave it off by default and make players turn it on. If you get ur feelings hurt then it’s on you lol

[untold fern]

im gonna be on my knees begging to be let alone so i can extract

[fiery trench]

Cause YouTubers threw a lot of light on it and majority of players who wanted to play marathon was destiny players which are a bunch of cry babies, I played arc aswell and it just wasn’t for me

[deep lantern]

they do this because they have no better frame of reference, and rather than judge the game for what it is it’s much easier to just judge from other games

which makes for horribly reductive opinions on a game

[torpid plover]

If you don't compare games, how would you know which you prefer?

[untold fern]

ngl tarkox is so complex but is so rewarding and you would always want more

[agile swan]

Don't compare, just consume

[deep lantern]

by doing more than just posturing about it on discord

[torpid plover]

Same, my 2k hours in Tarkov say a lot about that xD

[gritty urchin]

From what arc has shown us I think they nailed the loop and gameplay abs systems. People compare so Bungie can take notes and maybe even steal some gameplay elements and systems to make marathon peak

[rancid pebble]

chat is it crazy to say marathon has the balance and mechanics of looter shooters down where as arc has the emotions and cooler ai

[solemn river]

/dac

[deep lantern]

..

[gritty urchin]

Immersion is great in AR

[deep lantern]

no way.

[torpid plover]

What would you consider doing more? There's no Alpha for either, so you can't play them

[lilac marlin]

No. Common consensus is marathons gunplay is good.

[deep lantern]

watching gameplay can also help

preferably without any commentary, just undiluted footage

[torpid plover]

That's why I'm watching Arc Raiders gameplay rn

[rancid pebble]

didn't say it was bad

[gritty urchin]

That’s a Bungie standard, but not enough substance

[fiery trench]

Marathons gunplay just feels sooooo good

[deep lantern]

so you’ve done one half of it if you didn’t do the playtest

[torpid plover]

I did play Arc Raiders, got my key 30 hours before Alpha ended and by the end of it I had 15 hours played

[deep lantern]

i think the best way to do this is to also note what things you like about the gameplay in both

[deep lantern]

i was speaking marathon primarily

[untold fern]

i can say that AR was fun to watch looting ngl espically when time shifts to night but marathon gunfights were more fun to watch

[gritty urchin]

I got mine Sunday afternoon 😩😭

[scenic meteor]

to be fair Bungie has never had bad gunplay its just lack of content and listening to feedback

[lilac marlin]

My opinion is it has good lore and artstyle as well. But nobody else agrees lol.

[torpid plover]

And I'm speaking Arc Raiders primarily, because that's the only game I played

[mental mango]

None because I am supporting destiny 2 & marathon

[deep lantern]

then your other half is to watch marathon gameplay

[agile swan]

Lore? There isn't much lore in marathon yet 😂 😂

[oak elbow]

Cause its destiny 3

[fiery trench]

All we got was an alpha were they said 90% of the game was missing so ofc we haven’t seen substance yet but I’m excited to see what they have in store

[deep lantern]

take notes of both your experience with ARC and what your thoughts are on marathon’s gameplay

[torpid plover]

I did, couldn't watch it for more than 5 hours though, felt TOO barebones even for an alpha

[agile swan]

I'll agree on the art style though

[deep lantern]

well there’s gotta be more in specific than that

[lilac marlin]

Previous trilogy and some trailers give us an idea

[mental mango]

Destiny 3 is possible not at moment

[torpid plover]

I can give specifics, ask me questions

[oak elbow]

Art style is 🤮🤢

[untold fern]

yeah it was a 2 month old build and alot was missing even the exterior wasnt polished

[deep lantern]

let’s start with an easy one: combat

[gritty urchin]

I mess with the art style, it’s different and different is good, but art is subjective. Lore is pretty cool but we need the aliens to fight and it’ll be dope

[torpid plover]

Isn't soloable

[mental mango]

I know bungie says this but let give marathon a chance

[fiery trench]

Also really like the art style

[deep lantern]

this has been a prevailing opinion

[oak elbow]

When does it release?

[agile swan]

The cinematic trailer is just world building.... The game is nothing like it and the previous entries are almost its own thing

[deep lantern]

anything else to note?

[lilac marlin]

Fair enough. But previous games are going to be referenced.

[deep lantern]

oh did

[scenic meteor]

i think the beta will make or break this game if its the same shit as the alpha pack it up and move on but we will see the changes but if they say another "this beta is only 20% of what the full game is" nah fuck that

[deep lantern]

did av dip off chat? for once i get an actual discussion with someone who has substantive opinions on why they don’t like the game

[torpid plover]

The gunplay seems good, bots are pretty cool, but the main problem for me it isn't for solos, I've been playing every single extraction shooter there were, besides Hunt Showdown and they all were soloable besides Marathon (I haven't played Marathon, but seen people try to solo it)

[mental mango]

I am not going in full detail you’re asking a person that’s is a average pro on destiny 2 I started in the server so I know very little

[torpid plover]

Sorry was yapping too much

[junior sable]

I forsee a Mnt dew Colab with marathin

[deep lantern]

ah, there we go. yeah, I can’t really say i disagree with that, and again a lot of people have been on that same page

[agile swan]

I foresee another starwars Collab with marathon

[mental mango]

I’m waiting on that day to come as I do more research

[fiery trench]

They didn’t want a solo game, they wanted team base so this makes sense.

[deep lantern]

visuals are kind of just accepted to not be polished enough

[untold fern]

yeah agree if it is the same loot and nothing worth going for then im not buying honestly cuz you cannot even customize your own character

[oak elbow]

I think marathon will go F2P

[deep lantern]

who’s embark?

right, right

[jagged trail]

The studio behind arc raiders

[untold fern]

they were explicit with what 20% meant

[oak elbow]

arc raiders should be free to play

[lilac marlin]

They’ve said this ain’t happening

[torpid plover]

Yea, but my point is, the game doesn't feel like an extraction shooter, it feels like a Battle Royale with extra steps (you can read this too as a part of our conversation @deep lantern )

[gritty urchin]

No, cheaters.

[untold fern]

delta force 2.0

[torpid plover]

It absolutely SHOULD NOT

[deep lantern]

i mean that is fair, it’s certainly got quite the PvP focus

[junior sable]

WTF is ark raiders?

[hollow mirage]

You gotta be a kid

[fiery trench]

I agree, the finals is better than arc and it’s free to play so I completely agree

[gritty urchin]

Cycle frontier has entered the chat, and has left.💀

[scenic meteor]

nah Marathon devs also said on stream this alpha is missing almost everything tons of weapons, loot, ai , map style, characters if the beta is no different than the alpha its wraps

[agile swan]

Arc raiders should be just the Sims, and marathon should be a sports game about marathons

[lilac marlin]

Bruh

[torpid plover]

I mean there're other extraction shooters that have a PvP focus, just like Delta Force, they don't feel like Battle Royales though

[mental mango]

I am going ask you this are sure I can this back up try to perform transaction to buy on of the episode in destiny 2all funds are locked and timed to set date of real release date

[scenic meteor]

they didnt say 20% specifically but they said tons of content was left out then they needa show that tons of content in the beta

[deep lantern]

so they need to nail down what they’re doing

[untold fern]

yeah that what i been saying at moment it feels like extraction but then it feels like battle royal

[torpid plover]

I've played The Cycle Frontier too! Got 500 hours in that beautiful game since it's CBT1 and until the season 3

[gritty urchin]

Cheaters ruined it. And balance but mostly cheaters. Shouldn’t have been free to play.

[oak elbow]

Yes 👍

[deep lantern]

we have one day to see if they will show that absolute behemoth of beta tonnage

[gritty urchin]

I messed with it too, it was fun and unique. Just bad management

[deep lantern]

I for one think it’d be stupid if they didn’t have it on hand

[lilac marlin]

Yeah I don’t think free to play is good for extraction games in general

[torpid plover]

20% was me talking about Arc Raiders, Marathon devs never mentioned specific numbers

[lilac marlin]

Cycle was fun just didn’t last long

[torpid plover]

Yep, that's why Delta Force is infested with cheaters

[mental mango]

Well see

[deep lantern]

ergo the logical thing is they’d have to show the progress they’ve made

[agile swan]

Bot force more like

[scenic meteor]

they didnt mention a number but they definitely listed off what they were missing and it was a shit ton they need to show it

[oak elbow]

They should create a better anti cheat

[mental mango]

Because listed on x box already

[deep lantern]

because i really can’t imagine Bungie wouldn’t be able to foresee the potential PR disaster of not doing that

[gritty urchin]

No it’s been proven, you can’t because cheaters just make a new account and cheat again and if you have a game where your lose everything on death and you die to aimbot you won’t play the game

[torpid plover]

Truly, season 2 introduced the working Anti Cheat, but it wasn't enough for all the other people to return and the game stagnated for the duration of the season 2 and then died in season 3

[agile swan]

I can foresee another round of layoffs and more classic cars to Pete's collection

[untold fern]

i been seeing that the playMA tomrrow wont be anything special

[oak elbow]

The devs get paid enough and should make it where people cant cheat..

[deep lantern]

itd damn near have to be if they want to recoup their losses

[lilac marlin]

It’ll be a dev answering some questions while playing a recent build of the game.

[mental mango]

Proves it to me then we is The link

[deep lantern]

right, right

[stuck maple]

So are they done sending out beta codes?

[untold fern]

yeah like how they broke the NDA cuz people we going bollocks about the leaks

[deep lantern]

the meat and potatoes of this is going to have to be the beta build

[torpid plover]

There's no beta yet

[gritty urchin]

Are you on console?

[lilac marlin]

No announcements about a delay but prob address some pain points

[stuck maple]

O so this April ?

[jagged trail]

It is far easier for people to design cheats than to design a counter to those cheats. This will always be the case. Cheaters are not going away

[mental mango]

Yep and marathon is on my wishlist

[oak elbow]

I can see marathon being CONCORD 2.0

[deep lantern]

they’ve outright said they’ll do this, and if they don’t then they’re just zooted out of their mind

[torpid plover]

Sorry I'm confused on what do you mean?

[mental mango]

So several days a head of you all

[untold fern]

hoping for best

[lilac marlin]

Prob not. Nobody knew concord existed.

[scenic meteor]

i think they 100% should delay the game if they care about the launch perception of the game

[deep lantern]

…until the grifters showed up

[gritty urchin]

Okay, then cross play is a somewhat new concept and typically you guys only have to worry about zin and controller cheaters. Wait till you go against a guy with aimbot and walls💀😂

[mental mango]

Not happening

[torpid plover]

Ah yes, nobody knew about it existing while it was a 700$ million Sony project

[stuck maple]

I’m sorry I confused myself I saw something about April so I thought there was gonna be a beta in that month but I guess there waiting for a full release?

I’m just ready to play the game

[untold fern]

it would suck if embark release same time cuz it would divide people and seems like they would pull that move like they did with playtest

[deep lantern]

i hardly even heard about it until it got lumped into culture war stuff

[torpid plover]

It's may already? Not April

[mental mango]

I have no time for rage baiting

[deep lantern]

so what i think they mean to see is it didn’t get marketed enough for people to hear about it until well after launch

[scenic meteor]

then they can be like New World and have a shitty launch be live service until the playerbase is zero and pray for people to come back to the game 1-2-3 years later but we will see

[untold fern]

no unironically no one knew till the whole drama and how much it costed to make

[torpid plover]

There's gonna be an open beta at some point, but we don't have a specific date for it yet

[gritty urchin]

Unless I see something remarkable tomorrow during the livestream it would hurt marathon significantly if embark released it the same day. I don’t think will though

[torpid plover]

There's 100% gonna be an OPEN beta, maybe a closed one before that though

[deep lantern]

they need to reel it back in

[torpid plover]

They said it

[gritty urchin]

Can they open arc raiders general chat.. I need news😭🥀

[torpid plover]

ONG BRO

There will be an open beta, that's all I know

[mental mango]

You people must understand I have played over 670demo packs beta game this includes destiny 2 beta

[untold fern]

yeah like a beta i think probably to see the servers

[scenic meteor]

they stated they will have an open beta at some point

whenever they lifted the NDA for the alpha

[untold fern]

https://gamerant.com/marathon-open-beta-dates-rumor/ one of many articles

[stuck maple]

Bet they gonna do a sign up for that too you think ?

[torpid plover]

You're hard to talk to, go rage bait somewhere else please

[gritty urchin]

I bet you run slow sensitivity don’t you.

[untold fern]

but is more likely to happen for them to see the servers and how the build holds

[lilac marlin]

You won’t need to. It’s open.

[torpid plover]

Look it up yourself

[gritty urchin]

Wats the question

[torpid plover]

About open beta existing for Marathon

[gritty urchin]

A bunch of developers from marathon played with streamers and answered questions. I don’t know which one specifically, but they definitely said there is going to be an open beta

[torpid plover]

Yep, this ✅

[lilac marlin]

Twitter and Bluesky

[last blade]

hardly even similar beyond you know, the genre of the game 🤣

[torpid plover]

Yeah I mean why would you compare 2 games of the SAME genre, right?

[untold fern]

https://overgear.com/guides/news/marathon/open-beta-date/?srsltid=AfmBOorvoMqC31yPDRhq2qQdGLgUHvi6waxaKC0XozjIAKhQxiVaA5Xi

"Bungie has officially confirmed that Marathon will hold an Open Beta in August"

[gritty urchin]

I think it’s in direct competition basically it’s what extraction shooter deserves my time.

[mental mango]

Then only the USA will have access to I am just putting out there

[torpid plover]

Same

[magic rose]

[scenic meteor]

nobody wants to play 2 extraction shooters at the same time its not fun when you get behind in loot

[lilac marlin]

They’re similar but they’re for different audiences

[torpid plover]

You shouldn't use those articles to prove something, just find FAQ or devs answering questions

[mental mango]

Really

[torpid plover]

Exactly, that's my point

[scenic meteor]

yes if you play tarkov at wipe and then play it at end of wipe it is two completely different games

[torpid plover]

Do you disagree?

[mental mango]

Because on the note this is all I play for real

[rancid pebble]

tarkov and hunt are in the same genre but anyone who compares the two is braindead

[torpid plover]

That's why I'm maining Escape From Tarkov: Arena

[gritty urchin]

I think it’s completely relevant to compare. But that’s good because it puts a fire underneath Bungie ahh and gets them cooking, they want our money so I think they make the changes necessary, but it’s going to be very difficult to get me away from Arc, first impressions are everything tbh.

[untold fern]

yeah but those people have insiders yk but ur right

[rancid pebble]

name the last time apex and fortnite got compared

[torpid plover]

Any dev interview has insides

[dense stone]

every time people talk about battle royales

[untold fern]

2019

[gritty urchin]

You don’t even get loot in hunt, completely different loop so agree lmao

[torpid plover]

True, but still comparing Arc Raiders and Marathon is valid

[dense stone]

Arc Raiders was so fun

[olive matrix]

bro would 100 react this

[dense stone]

i didnt get marathon invite so i cant compare

[gritty urchin]

Yes because it’s in direct competition. Only difference is the FPP, TPP.

[torpid plover]

Same, I haven't played Marathon myself, only Arc Raiders

[mental mango]

Arc raiders can get lost it not on x box game pass

[untold fern]

[torpid plover]

Is Marathon on xbox game pass?

[mental mango]

Yes

[gritty urchin]

Bro is the #1 console rage baiter

[torpid plover]

Bro's still standing

[scenic meteor]

Bungie is owned by Sony why would it be on game pass?

[olive matrix]

eggs box

[torpid plover]

Eggs

[gritty urchin]

Btw I’m buying both games, I love extraction shooters but one will definitely be the step child.

[lilac marlin]

He’s capping.

[dense stone]

marathon is playstation exclusive

[torpid plover]

I'm probably gonna buy only Arc Raiders, not that much money

[lilac marlin]

Correction. Everyone is capping.

[scenic meteor]

Marathon would not survive if it wasnt cross plat all around

[torpid plover]

I'm not capping

[untold fern]

nah marathon is nintendo exclusive

[lilac marlin]

Correction. Two people were capping.

[shell topaz]

Atari

[gritty urchin]

Oh from what I’ve seen I’m maining Arc, I played Sunday (when I got access) and played till they closed the servers 😭😭😭

[jagged trail]

Marathon is turbografix 16 exclusive

[mental mango]

You see this that means I can download it but not yet

[torpid plover]

Same bro

[lilac marlin]

Correction. Two people were capping.

[magic rose]

My mood today

[agile swan]

I heard you can play marathon on a walkman

[dense stone]

i refunded my nintendo switch 2 after i heard its a license to use the device and you don't own a switch 2 when buying

[torpid plover]

You already said that

[rancid pebble]

the only time marathon and arc raiders was comparable was back when the game was called last of us factions and it was good

[scenic meteor]

what does this prove

[lilac marlin]

[untold fern]

i miss the old marathon i dont want this new marathon

[magic rose]

Aren’t Nintendo bricking their system on purpose

[torpid plover]

I love you so much

[dense stone]

i have a pc im good bro

[mental mango]

It on x box with cross play

[torpid plover]

Same, PC is my love

[scenic meteor]

nobody said it wasnt on xbox but it is definitely not on game pass

[agile swan]

Ooo boy, wait till you hear about every game platform

[magic rose]

Would love a pc but same time don’t want one

[untold fern]

nah im good

[mental mango]

I hear checked

[dense stone]

i buy my games on gog before steam so i can own games

[gritty urchin]

Dead ahh they are both extraction shooters, they have quest, they have shops, they both have loot you go into raids to get, both have pve. Really the only difference is the perspectives.. and one is way more polished than the other. Comparing hunt to tarkov is obviously completely different even though they’re considered “ extraction shooter”

[torpid plover]

Steam, playstation, xbox

[last blade]

hunt isn't even an extraction shooter it's more of a survival horror game if anything

[torpid plover]

It is still considered an extraction shooter for some reason, weird

[scenic meteor]

hunt is trash fr

[dense stone]

if hunt is an extraction game so is left 4 dead

[gritty urchin]

You can definitely compare marathon and arc

[lilac marlin]

They are for different people but they are absolutely comparable.

[rancid pebble]

Ure gonna flip when u find out soon as gaben dies u can kiss all your game licenses goodbye as the vultures at valve will ruin the company before u can say " "

[mental mango]

https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/store/marathon/9PB32DKQKZDQ

[torpid plover]

Truly

[torpid plover]

That doesn't mean it's on game pass

[untold fern]

i think they are different and feel like arc pulled more people cuz the people who played did not play an extraction and felt different and its mechanics are easy to grasp and not complex. Whilst marathon felt to people like a slow battle royal

[mental mango]

Rage bait

[torpid plover]

???

[scenic meteor]

thats crazy

[gritty urchin]

I would say the thing that I really liked on Arc was the feel of progression, a little too quick but if they fix that it’s great

[agile swan]

I've seen more rage than bait

[torpid plover]

Same

[mental mango]

I’m starting to building a not interested list of members here

[torpid plover]

I'm not interested in Marathon, start with me

[gritty urchin]

I’m about to unplug ur console

[jagged trail]

Could have been tuned that way just for the test

[untold fern]

you guys saw the leaks about Call of Duty: Marathon

[magic rose]

Marathon alpha felt heavily a fight with npc and non stop looting with no player interaction until the last 3 days of the alpha 💀

[torpid plover]

YO, NO WAY

[mental mango]

Your next

[torpid plover]

I've seen so many people in Arc that's crazy and 1 thing surprised me the most, THERE WERE SO MANY FRIENDLIES

[shell topaz]

Ur***

[untold fern]

chatGPT said is going to come back trust me bro

[magic rose]

cod should reboot black ops 2 and call it a day

[lilac marlin]

I work for Bungie you’re done kiddo

[dusk kettle]

what are those stats for

[gritty urchin]

Don’t catch me in raid I’m a POS

[torpid plover]

HOLY NO WAY I'M SO HYPED

[dusk kettle]

wish one is arc wich one marathon

[untold fern]

yeah i saw that ngl too many npcs i felt infurated and i wasnt playing LMAO

[mental mango]

Where your dev role

[torpid plover]

Bro I been killing so many people, I'm a POS too

[lilac marlin]

Don’t worry about that

[dusk kettle]

imagine marathon style with arc raiders gameplay

[torpid plover]

That's his alt account

[torpid plover]

I wouldn't complain

[gritty urchin]

People will run out and say “I’m not armed” and I’ll execute them, I was definitely on my villain arc

[untold fern]

guys marathon will be released on september 23 2025 it was leaked

[magic rose]

Exactly, I won’t even lie. Some matches I’m like skipping in plain sight not getting smacked for shit but no. Oh no, the min it was the last 3 days and on dire marsh. I was eye candy all the sudden

[torpid plover]

LMAO

[torpid plover]

I leak

[scenic meteor]

guys Marathon got leaked its just a destiny 2 crucible update

[rancid pebble]

I think marathons design philosophy is very different than arcs one is trying to get u into a raid as soon as possible without wasting your time and the one is emulating everything that's popular in extraction shooters just got the sake of having them now granted arcs core loop is strong but some of the shit they do is so unnecessary

[untold fern]

NOOOOOOO

[scenic meteor]

40$ expansion

[jagged trail]

Wrong. They don’t update crucible

[agile swan]

Marathon leaked, I heard you have to complete a 10km run

[torpid plover]

That's cheap for a destiny expansion

[torpid plover]

I thought it was 42km?

[lilac marlin]

They are different. Doesn’t mean they’re not comparable.

[agile swan]

That's just the forsaken pack

[untold fern]

arc raiders cost 100 dollars

[torpid plover]

I buy

[gritty urchin]

Guys cayde6 is in marathon

[shell topaz]

Arc raiders kicked my dog

[agile swan]

It costs Raidillions

Marathon costs marathondillions

[rancid pebble]

but it's like comparing GTA to saints row like what do u gain from it other than making surface level remarks though

[torpid plover]

I mean I bought 150$ Tarkov Edition, so...

[jagged trail]

Marathon costs 50k silver

[agile swan]

We can thank bungie for vaulting things we bought and paid for

[untold fern]

yeah sometimes it feels extraction but when fighting doesnt feel like extractoin at all feels battle royal

[mental mango]

If there any additional administration or ninja in the chat can confirm rage bait be much appreciated

[torpid plover]

Why WOULDN'T you compare GTA to Saints Row though?

[rancid pebble]

comparison is the thief of joy gamers

[shell topaz]

Thanks Obungie

[lilac marlin]

Where do you think buying property in gta came from

[torpid plover]

Marathon paid actor

[gritty urchin]

If it’s going to directly compete abs potentially cannibalize players from the other I’m comparing

[scenic meteor]

one will directly affect the playerbase of the other so its kinda important to compare when one might be the downfall of the other

[torpid plover]

Same, and even if they're not, I'm comparing them either way

[magic rose]

People can second guess this but the fight felt like destiny

[rancid pebble]

that's been a thing since sa bro

[mental mango]

To late I have spent to much money to give up now

[agile swan]

Your will isn't your own

[torpid plover]

I can compare Minecraft to Escape From Tarkov, change my mind

[shell topaz]

No u

[torpid plover]

DAM, I been beated

[agile swan]

Marathon is the first of it's kind marathon type game

[lilac marlin]

Don’t remember that. Regardless, things are different when the core mechanics are the same.

[gritty urchin]

There isn’t many extraction shooters that are worth a fu— so if they are competing with ur time it makes sense to compare and choose which one ur maining. You can’t just stop playing and come back a month later, you’ll get out geared (not in all cases) but it feels better to play when you main the game and ur on par with other players

[untold fern]

i got you a game that is just like that

life

[scenic meteor]

also im not buying 2 battlepasses for two different games

[gritty urchin]

It comes down to which one is more polished, which one has more systems, and which more is more engaging

I’m sorry to say, Arc has a strong start

[rancid pebble]

like shooting,hijacking and doing linear missions ?

[shell topaz]

Just like Microsoft

[lilac marlin]

Like entering an area, fighting against the world and other players, getting loot, and extracting.

[torpid plover]

Same thing doesn't apply on Arc Raiders though, I've been outgeared but still slapped blue and pink shields

[mental mango]

Witch is proudly my home

For console

[torpid plover]

I can, no one is stopping me

[scenic meteor]

i be edging my peaks

[rancid pebble]

as I said #🗣marathon-general-chat message

[untold fern]

marathon wins

[torpid plover]

Yep, balance be like

[shell topaz]

Balance be like edging

[lilac marlin]

You bring up good points like marathon is very different and is probably meant for a different playerbase (like me because I also like it) but to say it can’t learn something from other games is also weird.

[gritty urchin]

Arc raiders a baddie Frfr

[untold fern]

😭

[torpid plover]

Every single game can learn from other games

[agile swan]

The rooster hot asf

[torpid plover]

Scrappy be down bad

[gritty urchin]

Bruh you about to make me act up

[scenic meteor]

learning from other games when the game is launched is weird they need to learn while in the devlopment cycle the whole point of an alpha

[rancid pebble]

I'm sure management isnt fully brain damaged they can manage to push the release date that is if marathon could even survive bungies earnings call xd

[torpid plover]

I mean games can become better even after release (fallout 76 which I have 2k hours in BEFORE it got good)

[scenic meteor]

hopefully i think their only hope is delaying the game but we will see what they say tomorrow

[gritty urchin]

Bites lip -clicks collect loot-

Scrappy:😮‍💨🍆 🐓

[mental mango]

I’m sorry you to people I keep my trust in bungie, not other game platform’s also Microsoft

[untold fern]

this channel should be changed from #🗣marathon-general-chat to peak-general-chat

[scenic meteor]

they can always get better but games that get better after release never manage to shine a light to the number they launched with like not even close

[torpid plover]

Yeah, but better late than never?

[gritty urchin]

I need to get off the internet for a bit💀

[torpid plover]

"Opens incognito tab"

[lilac marlin]

This watching strangers argue thing is addicting

[torpid plover]

Truly

[gritty urchin]

When ur at work, watching paint dry is amusing

[untold fern]

i honestly think we should stop comparing peak(marathon) to mid(AR)

[rancid pebble]

I'm glad u do but shareholders won't be too happy to see bungies basically new IP getting trashed online this hard (like some other game I knew of)

[torpid plover]

I love arguing and watching others argue (I swear I'm not сuck)

[nova moss]

look at oatchi

[untold fern]

oatchi looks like he gives crazy sloppy

[scenic meteor]

public perception is the only thing that matter to shareholders

[torpid plover]

Money is the 2nd one?

[torpid plover]

I thought it was the 1st ngl

[scenic meteor]

money is the 1st tbh

[untold fern]

yeah they dont care about people only money

[torpid plover]

They have Sony as their investor

[mental mango]

Are you raged bait as well I will defend myself

[untold fern]

im a shareholder trust me

[torpid plover]

And Sony is a Publicly traded company

[gritty urchin]

Bowl or burrito from chipotle today chat?

[torpid plover]

What's bowl

[untold fern]

i sold my stocks in embark studio do not buy the game trust me

[torpid plover]

I haven't eaten chipotle so I have no idea what that includes

[lilac marlin]

No chipotle in this econ

[gritty urchin]

They just put all the food in the bowl basically

[torpid plover]

True, I'd rather cook a 2$ steak

[scenic meteor]

idk Sony has canceled projects for less (days gone)

[torpid plover]

Burrito then

[zinc mantle]

That game is going to make a ton of money lol

[torpid plover]

Cap, Marathon is the only one printing money here

[lilac marlin]

https://youtu.be/i_0IQpF-FfE?si=m8Sn1NNAshN3x1Ou

[gritty urchin]

I’m blessed, and pretty Good with money so chipotle is my go-to and moes is pretty good too, especially the queso

[torpid plover]

RIBYE, MASHED POTATOES

[magic rose]

Everyone be blessed with a cat 🙏

[untold fern]

nah bro you dont get you have to trust me buy marathon i am a shareholder trust me here you wont regret it

[zinc mantle]

I'm buying both lol, I'll support decent extraction shooters that have controller support.

[torpid plover]

[magic rose]

[rancid pebble]

and Sony spent a gazillion dollars on em and are seeing blood since bungie still hasn't made a return on investment yet

[zinc mantle]

I'm buying both!

[torpid plover]

I'm supporting only good game devs, so Embark is getting my money here

[magic rose]

😭 why the bow

[gritty urchin]

Lmfaoooo

[magic rose]

“Sir, do I look pretty?”

[torpid plover]

You do

[torpid plover]

failed rizz attempt

[magic rose]

😭 I can’t

[untold fern]

if i were you honestly i would buy two copies of marathon the game is just too good

[magic rose]

Gonna quietly go out of the back door

[torpid plover]

I know, but WE can

[magic rose]

WHO WE

[torpid plover]

Me n u tn

[lilac marlin]

Nite nite sorry I think marathon good but I understand the criticism

[untold fern]

rizz

[mental mango]

Understand this bungie is not own by Sony they are still own game company

[magic rose]

I rather stand in the middle of a black out road

[torpid plover]

Dam, I got folded

[tidal nova]

But Sony still calls the shots

[mental mango]

Slow mode needs to factor here

[torpid plover]

Back shots?

[magic rose]

Sure did. Honestly. Rather be touched by a stripper then a man 😂

[untold fern]

i would leave server after tha one

[harsh storm]

I feel so bad for bungie they just got they ass's handed to them by embark

[torpid plover]

Tbh there's nothing to do now, that's a GENERATIONAL fail

[mental mango]

True but they are fixing destiny servers

[torpid plover]

I can only die

[untold fern]

nah more like the other way around honestly cause see i am an insider and trust me marathon is peak and underrated

[magic rose]

Don’t let the door hit you

I gotta be the door to hit you 🙏

[tidal nova]

From what I've seen Marathon is a shit show

[gritty urchin]

None of you know pain unless you pull up to the tinder date and have been catfished. Bih Looks like a linebacker and the profile says 5’0

[tidal nova]

Has potential tho but its just not there

[untold fern]

idk man i think AR is definitly EOS when it releases

[zinc mantle]

Honestly Bungie just needs to work on their public relations and they would be solid.

[torpid plover]

Bro I'd rather get catfished than get 0 matches

[magic rose]

Yall got that? I kept getting cults on tinder but Facebook dating on the other hand? Is nothing but single dads

[torpid plover]

Even catfishes don't want me

im a shareholder i think they got it

[gritty urchin]

That or the “open relationship “ ones

[rancid pebble]

own game company is indebted to big company hope that helps

[torpid plover]

Tbh I never understand those

[magic rose]

💀 “open relationship” but wants a monogamous person? Which make no sense to me

[gritty urchin]

That was like a world war in itself. PTSD

[torpid plover]

Stay strong bruda

[gritty urchin]

Oh I’m all good now, pulled a baddie😂

[zinc mantle]

Well this whole marathon alpha and announcement was a PR disaster so...

[magic rose]

Better off sitting on Facebook dating with a thumbs up photo and you will get people drooling all over you from all age ranges

[mental mango]

So many people rage about bungie all I care stay destiny and marathon I going to stop replying because it makes no sense

[gleaming bough]

[tidal nova]

It's like saying "Yeah my girlfriend and I are open relationship but I'm not allowed to date other people"

[torpid plover]

That's a W, wish u a happy relationship and everything! You're a really cool guy so no surprise there

[untold fern]

im holding i believe in them trust me you just not seeing the full picture here marathon will dominate AR

[magic rose]

This what hurts my head. Before I met my fiance. I had a dude hit me up with his wife both were in the military but in their bio said “we are looking for someone monogamous to join our poly relationship”

[torpid plover]

WTF

[tidal nova]

I mean I'm sure they just meant you only date them two

[gleaming bough]

Some freeuse here and there

[magic rose]

I wish I saved it because it had me rolling and wait I had a dude asking me to hold his rolls for 400 dollars

[torpid plover]

LMAO I WANNA READ THAT NOW

[tidal nova]

Talking about freeuse, who wants to try out FBC Firebreak?

[zinc mantle]

Hopefully they show more today and address issues during the livestream.

[torpid plover]

What's that

[magic rose]

I thought this too but uk I poke questions at this. They only wanted monogamous people so they can convert them to be fully poly.

[sly sleet]

That’s not how sexuality works!

[rancid pebble]

and u didn't ?

[torpid plover]

Damn

[tidal nova]

Best I can say is to look it up on steam

[zinc mantle]

I watched a trailer for that recently and didn't understand what the game was about.

[gleaming bough]

-# This message was transmitted from a Sekiguchi Genetics™ Terminal++, in the BiomataCB Lab

[magic rose]

I WISH I CAN FIND IT BUT IF YOU WANT THE EXPERIENCE. Open Facebook dating and place a thumb up photo with a smile. You get hits

[torpid plover]

That's not even sexuality

[rancid pebble]

ure not about that grind(r) son get your money up

[untold fern]

hoping for best honestly, hope they actually show what they have in mind and what loot there is cause honestly what was in alpha felt not worthy to grind and just a game to casually play with friends

[torpid plover]

Ngl Facebook sounds like a boomer place, never used it

[tidal nova]

It's a TF2 coop type game where you fight office supplies using office supplies LOL

[tidal nova]

What is your birth year???

[magic rose]

I mean it sorta is. Even thought I’m 21. Facebook dating actually not so bad. How I found my partner actually

[torpid plover]

2005

[gleaming bough]

[tidal nova]

2000 AND? You have an AND?

[torpid plover]

YES I'M YOUNG

[tidal nova]

😂😂😂😂

[gritty urchin]

I’ve had done pretty crazy experiences on that app dude

[torpid plover]

At least that's what I want to believe, but I'm old now

[rancid pebble]

that's putting it lightly 👶

[zinc mantle]

True, extraction shooters are for players that want to grind and have the best loot. I didn't get to play the alpha, but got into AR and grinded out 35 hrs in 4 days of that game. I was stacked by the end lol.

[gritty urchin]

I’m 31, basically dead.

[magic rose]

I don’t blame you. I forever be scared what tinder showed me back when I was freshly 18 on dating apps. Bumble scared me even more

[zinc mantle]

Definitely not my type of game.

[torpid plover]

Man, u still pulling thoooo

[mental mango]

To be honest I have quit thinking here because allowing people to speculate about marathons is good but rage shows bad vibes

[gleaming bough]

[torpid plover]

We just having fun bruv

[gritty urchin]

Bro I had to jump out a window before because her jacked cop hubby was home. (My knee hit my face on impact lmfao)

[sly sleet]

I still think the best way to date is to already know someone beforehand but that’s just not always what happens yk

[gritty urchin]

He wasn’t that jacked but could of beat my ahh but she didn’t tell me she was married which is gross

[torpid plover]

I wholeheartedly agree

[tidal nova]

No worries no worries

[torpid plover]

Married and tried to find someone else? That's disgusting, just get divorced and then do that

[magic rose]

Tf, i ended up dating a dude that had an arrest warrant in another state for doing some wild things that would get me muted again. Had a baby mama that made deep fakes of me because i was “stealing her baby man” then held me captive for 6 months

[untold fern]

yeah people were saying the game very generous and there has to have been more loot becuase feels like you can reach endgame easily if that is the case, but dev said is 20% of what they have planned or something. also I like watching AR like i could feel the suspense and the looting felt a lot nicer than it is in marathon. but gunfights felt alot nicer in marathon not sure if it is the abilites but guns felt better also. but also marathon was in a build 2 months old and devs said that was not everything and hinted at alot behind the scnes.

[gritty urchin]

That’s the danger of tinder, my brother was almost stabbed because a girl didn’t tell him

[torpid plover]

That's awful, is ur brother alright?

[gritty urchin]

HUH💀

[torpid plover]

WHAT THE

[magic rose]

💀 New England men are deranged on many levels

[gritty urchin]

He’s a coast guard guy, he’s good. Trust lol

[zinc mantle]

Bungie is just good at making FPS feel smooth and it could be the difference between 1st and 3rd person.

[magic rose]

I still have the Google doc, of the screen shots of what his baby mama did

[untold fern]

@zinc mantle also being able to customize your character is another perk of extraction shooter but you cant in marathon in the first trailer they showed different runners and stuff but later turned it to heroes

[zinc mantle]

Yeah, I think the hero choice was not the best decision, but we shall see.

[gritty urchin]

FL pretty wild, lot lizards here💀 but that’s crazy

[gleaming bough]

-# This message was transmitted from a Sekiguchi Genetics™ Terminal++, in the BiomataCB Lab

[untold fern]

yeah 3rd person is the main thing drove people away from what i have been seeing. i wonder if it wil be like pubg where they forced them to make it first person

[torpid plover]

Y'all truly living ur lifes to the fullest, I never even had a date with anyone, just a sweaty unemployed tarkov gamer 😭

[magic rose]

I rather be there than what happening in New England. Every dude simple wants to strangle their gf to death or shoot

[radiant wolf]

Qoww

[torpid plover]

What the hell is going on there 💀

[magic rose]

Be blessed you haven’t really dated because in this realm of dating. Your better off in a ward

[untold fern]

fax btw im not a shareholder i was rage baiting with marathon better lol

[torpid plover]

That's fair

[zinc mantle]

I still loved the 3rd person, personally I think they mastered it and will continue with it. They was hidden code of FPS, but likely from trialing in old builds.

[gritty urchin]

Your generation of dating is cooked. My youngest brother been going through the trenches lmfao

[magic rose]

Let see

• street takeovers
• serial killer
• men believing they are top of the world
• parents wanting to KIA their kids in the beach
  List goes on

[torpid plover]

NO WAY I THOUGHT YOU WERE FOR REAL

[radiant wolf]

Same here dude 💔

[zinc mantle]

All good lol, I could be a share holder of Sony in 10 seconds on Robinhood lol, but I would never buy Sony stock

[untold fern]

yeah just the problem with campers is so annoying i was watching people die to it, unless they will have something to play aganist it

[dreamy panther]

my butt is gonna blow up if this game doesnt good 🫃

[radiant wolf]

Doesn't good

[torpid plover]

Time to get blown up

[untold fern]

i will give you my stocks

[torpid plover]

socks*

[untold fern]

[zinc mantle]

Yeah, you really have to play strategically and learn from your mistakes like going up camped zip lines by yourself without your team.

[torpid plover]

[dreamy panther]

will this game be good or my butt blow up?

[untold fern]

BOI WA DA HELL BOI

[gritty urchin]

Yeah I found a girl I went to middle school with, and she’s a gamer so W. I would advise everyone to delete tinder and meet organically

[radiant wolf]

Blow up right now

[magic rose]

Don’t meet at bars, that one place I will say no to

[radiant wolf]

I don't do tinder or none of that, I do it irl too I just get unlucky and cheated on 😭

[torpid plover]

I agree actually (even tho I never dated anyone)

[sly sleet]

dating a friend
so

[untold fern]

yeah but ur right the movment did look smooth and kinda made it special ngl i also liked leaning that adds depth. just hoping there is so much missing from marathon and that was not everything

[magic rose]

If you want urself a person, time to go to those town events

[gritty urchin]

There’s dead ahh someone for everyone. Eventually it’ll happen💯🫡

[radiant wolf]

Yea I hope so 🙏

[rancid pebble]

that's why u gotta go on farmersonly bro

[mental mango]

Simple fact most of you people entrust in other games platforms, for a veteran that stuck around with bungie since destiny 2014 knows what is happening

[torpid plover]

Covid hit me so hard I forgot grass exist

[sly sleet]

you were made with the express purpose of getting someone to like you eventually

[untold fern]

i dated an AI model

[torpid plover]

Same

[magic rose]

💀 uk, I can’t say much. I didn’t leave my house for 3 years unless it was for my cna

[torpid plover]

Bro you were held captive for 6 months

[gritty urchin]

Marathon better be hitting 2moro, they’re discord turned into a “talk about life” session 🫡💯🤣

[magic rose]

Yea that added a lot to it

[torpid plover]

I am a freak, can't you see that?

[magic rose]

I will say tho, Covid made me play Destiny 2 😂

[untold fern]

you need to sleep the beast is coming out gang

[torpid plover]

I'm unemployed, watch anime and play Tarkov, like what else is there to add

[edgy parcel]

bro you cant even imagine the level of yapping on the finals discord once the betas were over (until i got banned for literally no reason)

[untold fern]

nah im different

[rancid pebble]

but will they be worth it though ? it's like hanging out with your real friends they're never the fun cool ones

[gritty urchin]

Lmfaooo

[magic rose]

I’m unemployed and no mf wants me

[mental mango]

That time I stared looking for a job

[sly sleet]

[torpid plover]

TRUE

[edgy parcel]

[ember crater]

I mean we used to give our dog Vienna sausages and id eat those but that was just cheap vienna sausages

[untold fern]

how you remember what you ate from a kid i barely rememeber

[edgy parcel]

good childhood

[magic rose]

Kids are the human garbage disposal. When I was doing daycare stuff. I had to control kids from not eating all the sand

[sly sleet]

eating dog food is a pretty formative experience

[torpid plover]

I'm still young, that's why

[untold fern]

damn i must have been in war

[ember crater]

I would assume eating dog food would leave a lasting impression

[edgy parcel]

i remember there was an autistic kid at our elementary school and bro got bullied badly

[sly sleet]

can we go back to talking about DOOM: The Dark Ages

[magic rose]

Coming from someone who had a shit childhood. It most the smell of stuff trigger it 😭

[edgy parcel]

[torpid plover]

[magic rose]

It's fertilized duck egg steamed/boiled very early in the process

[untold fern]

yeah almost built a reflex in me cannot stand it anymore. was 11 at the time i donkt know how people remember what they ate when there were a kid

[gritty urchin]

One more thing chat, Dean Lewis is 🔥

[magic rose]

So not with the yolk in it?

[edgy parcel]

it is. i tried it at a wedding. man it tastes as bad as it looks, who tf even ate that there

[rancid pebble]

whoa man u can't say that they prefer the term escort these days

[ember crater]

Well, with the duck in it yeah

[edgy parcel]

there was very little left by the end somehow

[torpid plover]

LMAO, I wanna try it now just to confirm it for myself

[magic rose]

It sounds interesting but yet doesn’t at the same time

I can’t really say much. I eat onions as apples

[edgy parcel]

no you dont

[torpid plover]

I'm literally trying anything, I'd try lays apple crisps or whatever they were

[torpid plover]

Where are you from btw? I'm surprised to see people who even know what kholodets is

[untold fern]

i dnot get it is it a meme?

[edgy parcel]

germany but parents are russian

[torpid plover]

Ohhhhh that makes sense

[ember crater]

It reaaally depends on when they kill off the egg and I'll just leave it there. It's a Filipino street food but over here most people I know eat it now and then cause they sell the eggs at asian markets

[normal juniper]

MARATHON GAME

[untold fern]

u mean PEAK

[normal juniper]

thats tarkov

[magic rose]

I feel like ik now what ur fully talking about. I seen it on TikTok a few times. It has weirded me out and also reminded me why I’m a extremely picky eater

[torpid plover]

I thought it was a sports?

[edgy parcel]

it comes with its benefits and downsides

[untold fern]

is tarkov on console?

[torpid plover]

Like what?

[normal juniper]

sadly not

[untold fern]

marathon clears

[normal juniper]

marathon is fun but seems to be lacking. If they add a bunch of more stuff to do it would be such a solid game

the gunplay seems fun

[torpid plover]

What do you think about Arc Raiders? Or The Cycle Frontier if you've ever played it

[edgy parcel]

pelmeni. but also half the family still being in russia and bringing in non russian speakers makes communication at family functions super hard, everything has to be translated

[mental mango]

A another rage bait

[ember crater]

lol fair, I was unimpressed. To be honest it didnt feel like It was any different (Taste wise) than eating a (duck) egg. Just yknow, with an additional intimidation factor lol

[frank helm]

Tarkov is overrated and overpriced.

[mental mango]

I seen a enough rage bait for today

[torpid plover]

I thought you'd stop reading chat cause it's gross?

[pallid flume]

And scary!

[torpid plover]

Tarkov is $50

[magic rose]

I would assume so, I don’t really eat a lot of interesting dishes. I’m way to basic I guess

[torpid plover]

OHHH SO HE LIKES IT

[untold fern]

he stroking

[edgy parcel]

guys post a pic of a shower, that will scare him away

[frank helm]

Yeah, overpriced even for the basic version which insentivizes buying the more expensive version.

[normal juniper]

you could say the same thing abt marathon 😂

At least tarkov has incentive to keep playing

[pallid flume]

We don’t know marathon’s price yet

[torpid plover]

That makes sense, do you know Russian language? Or just ur parents

[normal juniper]

Isnt it 40?

[pallid flume]

That’s the assumption

[frank helm]

We've only seen the basic gameplay and the price hasn't been announced.

[ember crater]

That's totally fine, I'm like 1/4 Filipino but I was raised very American/white with a Mom that didnt really like Asian Pacific food so I feel like I was very stunted with asian food growing up and it's been bliss branching out and trying different stuff later in life

[torpid plover]

Marathon is NOT overrated

[untold fern]

sorry but tarkox so complex man thats why hardscore fanbase so hard for casuals to get into it

[torpid plover]

But it isn't underrated either

[edgy parcel]

i learned russian before german bcs my grandparents took care of me for most of the time till age 3. i learned german in kindergarten lol

[normal juniper]

Like the gunplay is fun asf, but they really need to beef the game up for it to be good. its a really expensive white canvas rn

[torpid plover]

Ohhh that's cool! How many languages do you know? 3 is the minimum from what I can see, right?

[magic rose]

That make sense, I’m mix with German, Irish, and Finnish but didn’t have a lot of those dishes since everyone cooked very white American but more southern dishes so I had southern dishes living in the north

[edgy parcel]

yes, currently learning a fourth but i doubt it‘ll go anywhere. i mean i already dropped a language before so i got no guarantee i wont do it again

[frank helm]

You obviously haven't informed yourself despite playing the Alpha. It was a test of the basic loop and they even stated the other features and gameplay will be revealed later.

[torpid plover]

What language you're trying to learn?

[pallid flume]

I do get what you mean, but they did supposedly keep a bunch of content out of the alpha. We have no clue just how much, so that’s really what’ll determine how blank the canvas is

[ember crater]

Admittedly I'm not really close to my white side either, I'm Portuguese, Spanish, Scottish and Welsh.

tbf Spanish has just leaked into Filipino food anyways, Empanadas are love, Empanadas are life.

[edgy parcel]

i dont wanna share that here

[pallid flume]

Fuckkkkknk

[torpid plover]

Dms? Unless it's not something you want to share at all, I'm just curious

Sub?

[edgy parcel]

dont want to share it at all for personal safety reasons

[frank helm]

Yep and everyone wants to treat it as the full game.

[torpid plover]

I mean I wouldn't do anything about that information, but it's all good, better be safe than sorry

[gritty urchin]

Update: I decided last minute to get Culver’s. And some pretzel bites.

[magic rose]

I’m sadly close to my white side then anything. I only know hints of my German and Irish side due to my dad but divorced changed it all. Now I’m all southern dishes in and out which kills my fiance 😭 bro be laughing at me all the time

[edgy parcel]

yes exactly

[pallid flume]

“Alpha? Like the wolf?”

[unkempt ginkgo]

I can't wait for the game to release!

[edgy parcel]

alpha like sigma 🥶

[untold fern]

are you a bot?

[frank helm]

Also, have no idea what is involved in game development but think they do because they played Farmville once.

[normal juniper]

have u played destiny

[tight juniper]

[ember crater]

It really kills me that the guy who wrote up the whole Wolf hiearchy of thing regarding "Alpha, Beta, Sigma etc" was disproven by actual wolf researchers but somehow his drunken ramblings leaked into modern culture

[gleaming bough]

Maybe

[untold fern]

dont generate too many images you will run out of API calls

[torpid plover]

Goon$?

[untold fern]

[shell topaz]

Out of 10?

[edgy parcel]

maybe 4

[dark yoke]

We WILL be buying

[torpid plover]

That's what I thought

[mental mango]

Let me found this out and see if it official

[edgy parcel]

i will make them. now the r34 artists (the nissan gtr ofc) can go crazy

[mental mango]

Because I do believe y’all

[torpid plover]

Yea, do something else besides reading this gross chat

[untold fern]

trust me bro

[torpid plover]

I love rage and bait

[untold fern]

mhm

[dark yoke]

I’d love to say Gooning would make marathon top game of all time but I barely see people talk about the first descendent anymore

[untold fern]

so relaxing!

[torpid plover]

It ded

[edgy parcel]

porn pushes games. just look at marvel rivals. do you think even remotely as many people would play it without that? and more people know about overwatch porn than the game itself i assume

[torpid plover]

I still see people talk about overwatch in that context though

[mental mango]

Lies lies Google says nothing about a delayed game dates

[edgy parcel]

they dont play it tho they just jork it

[torpid plover]

I delayed it, it's hidden though

[untold fern]

yeah and overwatch fact is def true

[torpid plover]

I mean it's not a problem for them, right?

[pallid flume]

Idk I played the alpha with one hand, it’s why I never extracted!

[mental mango]

I have also checked marathon twitter

[torpid plover]

NO WAY

[edgy parcel]

well its a problem for the devs who dont make any money anymore

[torpid plover]

Blizzard be like:

[untold fern]

i dont think the news hit your continent yet you have to wait a little

[torpid plover]

100%, they didn't even hit mine I had to travel to get the news

[agile swan]

3~5 business days for the info to be spread

[torpid plover]

It just came

[untold fern]

@mental mango see he heard of the news

[edgy parcel]

but i dont think marathon characters will be super popular amongst gooners. there will be a few, it wont be concord level but it wont be up

[sick carbon]

Are people really taking a Bungie employee that hasnt been with the company 5 years as relevant info on a game I dont even think he had access to? Sounds like that Bungie employee spends too much time on reddit with his takes in that youtube video. I also believe that Marathon is undercooked in its current state, but the employee was bitter for sure.

[agile swan]

Thief is pretty goonable

[untold fern]

you see thief?

[errant cedar]

Why void got the dogs out but not glitch 😭😭😭

[dark yoke]

Wait that bungie employee has been gone for 5 years lmfao

[torpid plover]

HOOOOOLY

[agile swan]

Imma guess.... Thief is just a Loba ripoff

[edgy parcel]

well maybe idk

[agile swan]

Clank clank clank clank

[edgy parcel]

[untold fern]

[torpid plover]

Normal day in Marathon chat

[dark yoke]

Get this man a true

[agile swan]

How heavy is thief? I gotta start training hips and face sits

[shell topaz]

3500lbs

[edgy parcel]

how much do you hip thrust?

[torpid plover]

I saw a guy training for She Hulk

[dark yoke]

Excellent

[glacial bane]

I read appalling at first

[mental mango]

Just to let you know officially I am following news and updates waiting on bungie official word plus I here the podcast while I am at work tomorrow

[gleaming bough]

I'm not saying

[edgy parcel]

id assume shes lighter than 2b from nier and 2b is nearly 150kg. so is assume 100kg? pretty doable

[agile swan]

That's easy

[untold fern]

bro has access to the drivers

[torpid plover]

you gotta pull those rookie numbers up

[edgy parcel]

no its not. 100kg is still quite a bit. i dont even bench that

[shell topaz]

Where can I buy one of them Michelin man jackets tho

[agile swan]

Waow, they handing out the feets for free now?

[untold fern]

yeah man always expect the unexpected

[torpid plover]

DA FEET

[scenic meteor]

they silenced me

[torpid plover]

For what???

[edgy parcel]

shes not fully borg and metal tho. shes partially some kind of plastic and some part organic id assume, she cant be that heavy

[scenic meteor]

for speaking the truth

[torpid plover]

I mean yeah, that's why they're made from worms

[glacial bane]

shes got a heavy heart

[edgy parcel]

well depends on how much metal she is

[mental mango]

I see rage baiting in you , this is why I do research first before commenting to replaying

[edgy parcel]

i doubt the knees arent metal

you need less friction there

[torpid plover]

Replaying in Marathon truly hits different

[untold fern]

i love rage and bait my fav show

second to marathon show have you watched the trailer it was just leaked @mental mango

[agile swan]

The master of baits

[ember crater]

If you come back to the rage bait wiith "research" isnt it still just falling for the rage bait regardless?

[untold fern]

INSANE NEWS JUST DROPPED

[torpid plover]

What kind of blood do they have and why if worms is what they consist of

[pallid flume]

Mine are, after the accident…

[mental mango]

Join the darkness , of destiny 2 I see all

[edgy parcel]

well then shed be pretty easy to throw around. very little water. i lower my estimations to 50kg

[agile swan]

There's no bait anymore, it's just rage

[torpid plover]

WHY

[sick carbon]

I think "making changes" and "content that we havent seen yet" is where people are missing the concept of what people are talking about with launch. I dont forsee a solo queue, prox chat, or any of these big changes people are asking for, but I do forsee a decent chunk of content being added that they just didnt give us access to. How much that is for an assumed 40$ game is up in the air of course.

[shell topaz]

They’re like horseshoe crabs

[edgy parcel]

no but mine are biological

[untold fern]

marathon 2 is coming out instead of marathon

[torpid plover]

Why worms make blood though, can't they make them like those police bots?

Idk I shouldn't have it tbh

[edgy parcel]

i have white synth blood from cyberpunk

[scenic meteor]

they told us the content we were missing

[untold fern]

can i have it?

[shell topaz]

That’s not blood

[mental mango]

I’m done here good day

[edgy parcel]

dawg you stoopid 💔

[edgy parcel]

its synth blood

[agile swan]

Done raging

[torpid plover]

Watch him silently read chat before saying it's gross once again

[sick carbon]

I dont see much complaints about the gun play and the gameplay loop (which tbh is heavily influenced by their take on the endgame) but more so the solo queuing experience and the clear inbalance of the runners.

[untold fern]

from the leaks apparently it will have 144hz on console

[torpid plover]

Arc Raiders is an Alpha

[shell topaz]

We’re all an alpha

[torpid plover]

So what is it then?

[glacial bane]

beta

[mental mango]

With whole nonsense chat for a day I am horses riding

[torpid plover]

It's not a beta yet though

[untold fern]

i think it is an alpha not sure

[torpid plover]

I rage my bait so hard

[untold fern]

i think @torpid plover is right

[quartz current]

Have fun

[untold fern]

i am assisting you

[glacial bane]
