that may or may not be on burger

[dire stone]

What do those corpo gonks think they’re doing with our preem bd’s

[cyan bridge]

oh yes, i love being irresponsible

[tepid bane]

I played it and loved it.

[lapis seal]

Games, and developers have to pass purity tests now. I may not like it, but reality do be like that sometimes.

[waxen island]

Same. Was super disappointed it got cancelled

[lapis seal]

You 3rd person, you The Division.

[terse yoke]

@dry dome

[pallid shoal]

for some people, for lots of reasons, some things fail much worse than others for really cynical reasons but still succeed enormously for the continued embarrassment of mankind, but it's always been that way

gotta set boundaries and stick by them, everyone's are going to be somewhere different, some people are real awful about insisting you share their exact boundaries for no earthly reason than their profit or convenience

[nova whale]

The purity test for most people is; what do I need to do to keep my job so I keep getting paid. A lot of times it is unconscious. Bad management can sway things to a cliff edge on this war on moral and morale attrittion

[dry dome]

Who are you?

[glass harbor]

Who needs 1 nonary manifold?

[lapis seal]

I was referring more to how the reddit brain rot hordes have treated this game, rather than the people in here. Most of the people saying those things in here are clearly just meme'ing.

[nova whale]

Marathon is going to slap and have its audience. Haters gunna hate, always

[lapis seal]

Extraction shooters can't really be niche though unless you're Hunt Showdown. We, don't wanna be Hunt Showdown.

And only Tarkov can keep failing upward.

So, they have to nail everything, somehow.

Which Bungie in it's current form post staff cuts, hasn't done.

[nova whale]

I always hold to the option to be proven wrong, maybe it will be a disaster but it has been like 3-4M of brainrot hate sludge around Marathon, eventually that will and can rub off on the devs. Pure toxic poison

[lapis seal]

Gamers have very short attention spans so going mostly radio silent was smart. Now it's about careful execution.

[nova whale]

Like poor @sour wagon top of that staff list, always on green when I am on. Used to be chatting up the comms full of joy in his heart and we cast them all silent with hate. Hope you're doing well chap, miss the bants

[sour wagon]

i am

[lapis seal]

He hath been summoned

[sour wagon]

just workin a lot my guy for all the fun stuff we are making for yall

[nova whale]

Thanks man, appreciate the check in. Wish you all the best in there

[lapis seal]

I'm not a non-believer. Bungie has delivered before, and could do so again. We just are not in the same world as Halo 2 anymore. Things are exponentially harder. Gamers are more entitled, less knowledgeable and louder than ever before. Bungie has the experience to ignore 99% of them.

Don't be the Cycle Frontier

Stay the course

[nova whale]

halo 2 was 21 years ago, I bet some devs are under 21. That is ancient history

[limber finch]

Marathon's older tbh

[sour wagon]

i started workin at bungie when I was 23

[limber finch]

Most people in here probably haven't seen the hardware Marathon was designed to run on in person lol

[sour wagon]

so 4 years ago

[nova whale]

sure is, thats why everyone calling me Unc for ages I am like bruh Marathon is older than your mom

[sour wagon]

im on the halo and destiny copium

[lapis seal]

Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it. Or, in this case, lack proper perspective of what it takes to make a great title.

[glass harbor]

W guy

[nova whale]

1v1 on Lockout when?

[bronze cipher]

this is still in development right? not abandoned? buddy told me it dev came to a stop jw

[nova whale]

still going

[glass harbor]

It is

[bronze cipher]

beautifulllll ty

[lapis seal]

It's more "canceled" then actually canceled. To repeat one of my favorite me posts LOL

[bronze cipher]

makes sense. extraction genre gets more hate than anything ive ever seen

[nova whale]

sweat lords afraid of competetion for the sweat pits

[bronze cipher]

and its the most fun gaming genre to ever exist for me

[lapis seal]

It goes with the territory - everyone is coming for your loot my dude

[bronze cipher]

super excited for this

[nova whale]

TBH I know i will be dogshit at Marathon but willing to give it a go

my recent jump into chess with my 1:10 win loss ratio lol

[lapis seal]

I'm partially blind on one side and have nerve damage but I was Farming kids during the playtest. Pixel shooter suits me 🤣

[nova whale]

blind in one eye, still better than unc

highest i got was like 35/50 rank in Halo 3, 1.18 KD

[lapis seal]

It's mostly peripheral so targets can like... disappear and reappear from left to right. Dealwithable.

[nova whale]

you on steam or PS, Xbox?

[lapis seal]

PC master race. Jk jk, I was on console most of my life.

[nova whale]

I am XSX, have a Macbook, so cooked enough for PC

Be cool if Marathon was Mac compat like its roots but thats pure hopium

[lapis seal]

I was Xbox mostly because that's where the crew was.

[nova whale]

plus i like the plug and play and couch aspect, I dont have a good set up/office space for pc

[cyan bridge]

Are you the voices

[lapis seal]

I used to play Starcraft 2 on my living room TV. Unhinged.

[nova whale]

I have yet to see a viable couch K&M set up that isnt like an invalid chair and tray ha

Switch 2 with its pants leg mouse, madness

[proven kernel]

I have my PC hooked up to a 55” TV actually…

[nova whale]

insane in the butane

id say it slaps tbh

what are TVs only big monitors after all

[proud glade]

insane in the tane

[proven kernel]

I mean, my tv is 144 hrz, my monitor is old and isn’t.

[lapis seal]

I had a modified lap desk so I could make the sweeping mouse movements for certain things. Mrs. Pewdini still makes fun of me about it.

[nova whale]

90hz TV but absolutely nothing is 90hx so its a weird one.

need 120 goodness and stop liviong in the stone age

FPS > ray traced shadow imo

played all of alan wake 2 in 30 fps by mistake, played dlc in 60 and it was like a new game

[lapis seal]

BenQ monitors are my favorite

[lapis seal]

Can I buy drugs from you? 🤣

[nova whale]

More like I can hook you up with a brain roller to make it smooth haha

[lapis seal]

They seem SO much happier.

[nova whale]

had the wrong setting on, I knew it felt like shit but thought it was just the game

[lapis seal]

I'm kidding, you seem like a good dude, and I don't type that very often.

[nova whale]

i know you mean well, it is funny ike i was like ar eyou serious? literally 30hrs of jank

performance mode every time from now on

need 60 min

[lapis seal]

I pretty much live in the settings menus these days. Give me my stable frames, or give me death!

[nova whale]

I also started the demo for Factorio, and obviously being a console chud the settings menu was like its own mini game. so intimidating

just stick to default ha

[lapis seal]

Factorio can become a way of life, be careful 🤣

[nova whale]

i know, I once when I gave no fucks in a past job just played 30hrs of Civ 3 in a work week, corner desk, slow work week

brazen some might say

one 30hr game mind you

[lapis seal]

The new CiV was like... too much like an actual job.

[jade dagger]

[nova whale]

just played more of the demo, i think if i keep going i will get addicted. so need to nope out ha

with these games i usually get like that existencial dread of like "why tf did i just spend 100hrs digging a hole?" it feels like such a time suck. I know if you enjoy yourself doing it its okay but past a certain hour mark i feel cheated or something, could have read a book or something. Ever get that feeling?

sooo like what happened to like the game and the Alpha keys, bro ive been here sense the first keys went out and haven't got shit sense

bruh wtf i didnt even get a chance to see the damn game, while others got to and only played for a damn day

[lapis seal]

The game is likely to release soon-ish OR there will be a larger playtest prior to launch, either way, I think you'll be okay.

[trim summit]

bro what? game is gonna be released early 2026

[trim summit]

W pfp

[chilly eagle]

yea they pushed back the September release

[lapis seal]

early 2026 is only 6 months from now.

[chilly eagle]

yea naw im done i waited way to long

[trim summit]

or 9 months

[lapis seal]

It's a new game, when should it be ready? When you decide it should be?

[lapis seal]

That's more likely, I'd say.

[trim summit]

ye

[lapis seal]

If I can't find games to occupy my time for 9 months, then I'm probably doing it wrong.

[trim summit]

[lapis seal]

Drop Dutchy is good, I think Neon Abyss 2 comes out during that time. Surely there will be some kind of new FPS games during that same time, I can't think of any offhand.

discord made it so you can only keep quest rewards if you're a nitro member

because they're douchebags

[visual thistle]

MONEY 🤑

[simple tapir]

there's also no way to tell if the rewards will reappear if you subscribe after they went away

the enshittification of discord needs to be studied

[visual thistle]

because when suits chase profit, always require some sort of improvement or change. to be honest this just leads to terrible enshitification. solution? use teamspeak lol

[tawdry olive]

can you even pick up the little music buttons that stick in ur neck and make life peaceful?

@obsidian plover maybe u can answer my question then

4 posts up

ahh, maybe u have not seen the cinematic. Ill ask later for sum1 that may know more 🙂

[graceful adder]

This game is DEAD ! Hahahahah

[lapis seal]

Right now, technically it is. But, it will still probably be released.

[fleet raft]

All depends on what Bungie can accomplish during the delay. But the time frame and current work they'd have to do to make the game genuinely interesting isn't looking too good.

[lapis seal]

We will probably get at least one "season", which, wouldn't be awful.

[lapis seal]

https://tenor.com/view/sweats-gif-25346666

[fleet raft]

Id hope it isnt. Because Arc Raiders will be their main competitor. And to implement FOMO against their marketing strategy is dangerous.

[trim kelp]

There is a decent chance that they will keep delaying and working on the game until it's really good. Bungie needs this to do well and Sony cannot have another Concord. Cheaper for them to extend development especially if it can bring in live service levels of money if it does well

[graceful adder]

Practically it will also be difficult to survive!

[olive oracle]

No, that’s true…. I’m just very busy with work / life, you know? I do make a concerted effort to chat with yall when I can though lol

[lapis seal]

People will realize that ARC Raiders is just yet another Nexon pyramid scheme with a pretty wrapper.

[lapis seal]

Agree.

[austere zodiac]

It’s fun though.

[whole widget]

Is marathon out yet

[tawny shoal]

I’ve been on a trip, so less active at the moment

[lapis seal]

I am not surprised to read that, at all. 3rd person is fine for certain shooters but not if there's loot involved.

[fleet raft]

Depends on how much control they put on Embark. Which is information that is not disclosed to the public. But we will be able to tell based on business practices and pricing.

[tawny shoal]

Exactly

[fickle shell]

It is super fun. To deny that makes me question someone's opinion on this game tbh. Can't argue with fun. And the 3rd person argument is moot when everyone has 3rd person imo

[fleet raft]

Its one thing to be a big shareholder. Its a whole other to control partially or fully how a game company operates.

[lapis seal]

They have a model that makes money, it doesn't benefit gamers but I can't blame them for using it.

[graceful adder]

Arca Raiders is not so bad !

I played the betta and was very surprised by what was on offer !

See positive !

[lapis seal]

Until you get corner peaked for the 1,000th time by someone whose gamer tag sounds like you just dropped a tray of silverware. If that is what fun is for you, g'head.

[austere zodiac]

Division was okay for like 40-50 hours. Destiny is like partially 3ps

[fickle shell]

Ya, after I just did the same thing to 10 squads. W/e. Def fun

[lapis seal]

If you 3rd person, you The Division. KEKW. Game wasn't horrible, enemies were too bullet spongy.

[fleet raft]

Do not get me started with Destiny 2. The amount of abuse and negligence a veteran Destiny player has gone through is ridiculous.

[lapis seal]

Yeah, we're not going to agree. But that's fine.

I played a fair amount of Destiny2, was okay.

[fleet raft]

Oh no. I haven't played in months, but I am coming back to try out their free expansion Edge of Fate. Apparently pre purchases were so bad that they dropped this update for free to try and bring player numbers back.

[proven kernel]

Muhahaha. My stealth is perfect

[fickle shell]

This is clear lol. Clearly here to hate on things non marathon 🤷‍♂️

[lapis seal]

False. I have also hated on Marathon things, when appropriate.

[austere zodiac]

When a P2W game goes F2P I know I don’t need to bother going back

[vapid valve]

what

[silver laurel]

Damn I played the shit out of Concord while it was live 😅 Mechanics and fluidity in that game were on another level.

[fleet raft]

Not yet. It drops in around 4-5 days. Once I get a taste of it. Ill probably drop the game again. After The Final Shape, the game went downhill fast. Almost as if the resources were sucked out of it for something completely different.

[lapis seal]

It didn't help that Lance Reddick died 😦

[austere zodiac]

How many employees fired? 😭

[trim kelp]

Game looked solid. Solid isn't enough in this live service ecosystem unfortunately

[fleet raft]

Yup. And when you are caught red handed for completely lying about sunsetting content, when in fact you completely deleted it, says everything about a game companies practices and how they treat their players. Its why they are still in a ridiculous lawsuit over The Red War...because they dont have any evidence left to help their defense LOL. They literally tried relying on YouTube videos.

[trim kelp]

Game has to really stand out. Splitgate 2 is already pretty dead and that game has some of the best shooting and movement out there rn

[worthy swan]

it was fun

then what’s the point of asking

[silver laurel]

What? I just played it while it was live.

[worthy swan]

what a pointless question, strange behavior

No one cares enough about you here to lie about this

[lapis seal]

I don't hate ARC Raiders, people that like those kinds of games, will like that one. I hate Nexon.

[austere zodiac]

John Marathon, this man has lots of strange behavior.

[trim kelp]

I mean, if a game has solid mechanics it can easily just be fun and not be much more

[worthy swan]

go ahead

I don't think I've met anyone who actually played Concord 🤣 .

[austere zodiac]

How negative was concord? 40 mil?

[fleet raft]

Not too sure, we'll have to see. Usually they like to layoff staff or fire them after a big update drops that gives them money. Assuming this one is for free? They likely won't be laid off till the next big update after Edge of Fate comes in. Which is Renegades.....another questionable update.

[trim kelp]

Can be vapid but still be fun and feel good

[austere zodiac]

Not Star Wars 🫠

[silver laurel]

No there were not a lot of people playing haha. Bummer for me

[austere zodiac]

Can’t wait to Help Rey Palpatine repair the traveler 💀

[trim kelp]

Oh way more, like 200-400 mil

[austere zodiac]

At least marathon can’t do worse

[fleet raft]

Concord wasnt even negative. It was a joke. The character design was awful, and it had MORE PLAYERS in its beta, than its official launch. It was also shoving agendas down people's throats which a majority of gamers obviously did not care for. It was a tone deaf attempt at hitting the market. A looter shooter that made little to no attempts to make itself stand out gameplay wise and especially design wise.

[worthy swan]

agendas

[trim kelp]

I'm not saying concord was some insane game. i'm just saying that if moment to moment gameplay feels solid, a game can simply be called "fun" by someone. Most reviewers said the gameplay felt fine, but it wasn't anything special

[worthy swan]

Like what?

[trim kelp]

Looter shooter??

[worthy swan]

bad character design=agenda?

It had no loot lmao

[silver laurel]

Mmh I disagree. It felt really like the old halo days. Quiet a good arena shooter. The mechanics were really solid. Every hero played well and felt good. Also, no battle pass or any nonsense on launch. Just good old day leveling and unlocking. There was a whole section in the menu with a map of the Galaxy dedicated to the lore. It was changing dynamically to events. It was quite cool actually and I never saw that before.

[fleet raft]

Starwars is owned by Disney now. Im not too surprised by this. George Lucas would of never allowed this to happen if he still owned the rights to Starwars. It doesn't match Destiny's lore whatsoever and just feels like a bad cash grab attempt with nostalgia as its main selling point.

[worthy swan]

marathon playtest 1 was like halo yeah lmaoooo

[fleet raft]

Thanks for the correction not looter shooter. Hero shooter. Was typing too fast lol

[trim kelp]

Definitely. For live service you have to be much more than just really solid at what you're doing to bring players in and keep em. I look at splitgate 2 or even Marvel Rivals as examples of this. Solid launch, but they aren't special enough to keep the hooks in people and they just go back to their usual live service games

[worthy swan]

always funny to see the cope on here

[fleet raft]

I heard Acolyte made people PISSED. Where the ball was dropped and they somehow sunk it below ground level. A woman casually bleeding her lightsaber with no genuine emotions or effort. Getting impregnated by the force through some sing or dance to have a baby.

[silver laurel]

Mmh I did not play marathon. Maybe you are right. But marathon is no arena shooter so I guess that's not the case.

[fleet raft]

Last good StarWars movie was Rogue One. Fucking masterpiece in my opinion.

[trim kelp]

Andor is top tier

[worthy swan]

Andor is much better

the movie was so bad imo it made me hesitant to watch it

[austere zodiac]

Wild West space movie.

[trim kelp]

But also, why talk about all of this? Sounds like you just want an excuse to vent about topics that politically anger you

[worthy swan]

bingo

[fleet raft]

Isn't Andor a series?

[austere zodiac]

I asked about Bungie failing at Destiny.

And we all know how Destiny players are

[fleet raft]

So glad I did not watch it lol

[fleet raft]

What do you think is political

[worthy swan]

also because shitting on concord (a game that died a year ago) makes them feel better about their insecurity about this game

[worthy swan]

“agendas being shoved down people’s throat”

you sound very secure about this

[trim kelp]

It's soooooo close. I've enjoyed that game a ton but the bar seems to be incredibly high to get people to stick around. So many amazing live service games, you have to pull those people in and get them to overcome the years and money spent to stick with you past a couple weeks

Extraction shooters def seems like a genre that has room for a game to keep players though. Delta force is doing quite well and it's pretty mid

[fleet raft]

Not political agendas, but ideals that just felt really unnecessary or just not something that transitioned in well. Something just thrown at you from nowhere, or something that didn't make sense.

[worthy swan]

what ideals?

[trim kelp]

good point. Easy to bounce off as a newbie

[fleet raft]

Giving a literal robot shaped like a garbage bin pronouns 💀. Then again, I wouldnt really care as long as the gameplay was fun which is the ultimate selling point of any game honestly.

[trim kelp]

chad bot

[worthy swan]

Like the shells in Marathon have pronouns?

[fleet raft]

I dont think they had pronouns at all. They were just frames of a sort

[quartz knot]

You act like you don’t know exactly what he’s talking about Mr John marathon

[worthy swan]

bro said “not political agendas” no need to help

[fleet raft]

I dont consider that a political agenda unless my definition of a political agenda is wrong, which it could be.

[quartz knot]

It’s a bungie game of course there’s gunna be that sort of thing shoved down our throats

They can’t help themselves

[worthy swan]

This is hilarious

seems like you’re making my point for me here

[quartz knot]

I mean wether you agree or disagree is kind of a mute point the bigger picture is that it’ll happen

[fleet raft]

Oh man I could talk about something super controversial.

[fleet thicket]

Then fck bungie games ima never play this just like i quit d2

[worthy swan]

I think you should scroll up because it seems you’ve misread the convo

[fleet thicket]

Sick of bungies bullshit. Is itcthat hard to be a dev th at doesnt rip off their players? Warframe can do it just fine

[worthy swan]

I got my refund and moved on a year ago, you’re the one who brought it up 💀

[quartz knot]

At this point I’d trust Ubisoft over Bungie

[jade dagger]

bruh

[worthy swan]

continuing to shit on an irrelevant game won’t make this one any better

[trim kelp]

All that matters is how well the writing is handled. Ppl don't care about perceived political agendas in a piece of media if it's well written

[austere zodiac]

The character design for marathon is awful.

[trim kelp]

Is it? I feel like the char designs slap

[vapid valve]

you are blind

[quartz knot]

Agreed. Spider-Man with miles was bad ass. Bungie shoehorning Osiris in 2020 wasn’t

[fleet thicket]

I DO trust ubi over bungie. Look at siege theyve been doing pretty well recently

[austere zodiac]

I hate them personally, glitch almost has an edgy “Streetwear” look, but it’s not done well. The rest are pretty bland.

[trim kelp]

I felt like Osiris story with Saint was well done. Lightfall on the other hand... good lord I could not wait to have Osiris out of my ears in that dlc

[fleet thicket]

Doesnt mean i trust them much but still more than bungie

[trim kelp]

I'm quite a fan of Glitch and the european lookin dude, but I can see how it doesn't float your boat

[austere zodiac]

The VA for Osiris is one of the worst voice actors ever. Lmao so unpleasant

[austere zodiac]

I get why people like that one at least

[fleet raft]

I might get banned for this, but idc because its just a Marathon discord server. Why do you think Bungie is struggling right now? It's because all their mostly competent developers left elsewhere after dealing with various deal breaking issues with the company. So now higher ups are struggling to find someone who's willing to do the same amount of work, or fill that position for less money. How do you think they advertise that position and hire people? How are they going to find a "yes" person who wont care about the larger issues at hand? You dont need to think hard about this. Theyve likely coated themselves as an inclusive game company so that the people who become part of their team are grateful, and blinded by this fake sense of belonging, while they get paid less and are treated the exact same way that former developers were.

[trim kelp]

Yeah I'm not a fan of Osiris VA. I feel like vocal direction from the director was not great for lightfall, especially with Osiris as well

[worthy swan]

bless your heart

[quartz knot]

Yeah I don’t disagree with this statement tbh

[austere zodiac]

All of the sounds design for Bungie has gone downhill since losing Marty O’Donnell tbh.

He’s kinda crazy but the music and soundscaping were superb

[quartz knot]

You should check out his podcast he does. He gets a lot of old head bungie dudes in and it’s pretty interesting

[trim kelp]

It definitely went in a diff direction but imo it didn't get any worse. deep stone lullaby is peak and that was after he left

[austere zodiac]

The music and voices for Halo Trilogy vs music and voices for Destiny are like night and day difference to me in quality

[proud glade]

a potential "pillory bunker"

[trim kelp]

Did you grow up with the trilogy? Any chance that might be good memories associated with the music that makes it so much better?

[quartz knot]

Yeah that’s always going to play a factor and everyone’s tastes are different

[worthy swan]

“Eighth” from D1 makes me feel things

ikr me too. I think sometimes next year, I've heard some things say it will come out at the begining of 2026 and some say fall 2026 so I'm not sure. Bungie is going to give an update this fall so I'm guessing they will give the new release date then

[jade dagger]

(・・ )

[pallid shoal]

Folks think before end of March 2026 because there are performance incentives in the contract selling Bungie to Sony and that's the end of the Sony fiscal year. But the word right now is "stay tuned for future updates".

[quick drum]

[lapis seal]

The amount of downtime we're going to have before the game has another playtest, or just launches, would actually be great for theory crafting and discussing how to make a sustainable extraction shooter. Even if this title doesn't make it, some of that would undoubtedly be useful to them for future projects.

Communities are now a large part of the development process, whether we like it (I don't) or think it's good for gaming (it isn't).

[quick drum]

first game made by the community?:D

[lapis seal]

Not made, in a coding sense, certainly. But, the reddit brain rot, Steam review bombing, etc. That's pretty much what I am referring to.

Like, in the past. There wouldn't have been any art raiders scandal, because almost no one would have known about it. There also wouldn't have been any awkward launch stream. The game would just - show up, hopefully in a playable state. #SimplerTimes.

[quick drum]

You chase community for feedback in order to increase sales, by the time you end up implementing all the feedback is gone, and you're stuck with something nobody wants 😮

[lapis seal]

Correct! When you try to make a game for everyone, you make a game for no one (Looking at you, The Cycle Frontier).

Dark and Darker is also very guilty of this, sadly.

[weary portal]

Will marathon have any type of story telling?

[lapis seal]

What about the truth could possibly be hateful?

[lapis seal]

Extraction shooters can't really have a story, it doesn't fit.

It's about the stakes, and the ability to requeue when you are forced to take an L. If you want a story, go play Zelda or Expedition 33.

I guess, if you're a troll and want the game to fail, THEN you want them to focus on storytelling...

It's uncharted territory for them, every other game they have made, losing only cost you time, nothing more.

[pallid shoal]

They're hyping up a lot of environmental storytelling but they pulled in their narrative director as creative director a couple months back so they're likely trying to make the story more front and center. The old Marathon games were heavy on story.

[lapis seal]

I'm a pixel person chasing pixel loot. The end.

The only way that would work is an ultimate player ladder that combines not only K/D but successful extractions and average loot value. Who is the greatest runner? Now, that's a fucking story.

Or, just make it Destiny3, and abandon being in the most difficult genre.

[lapis seal]

How is it a shitty game when it hasn't released yet?

I don't think you want to do this.

[austere zodiac]

MarathonTheGame is a game and is in alpha.

And Bungie made it.

[lapis seal]

Is an alpha build a finished product?

[austere zodiac]

Can players test an unfinished product?

[lapis seal]

Yes. That's literally the idea

[austere zodiac]

Shitty.

[lapis seal]

What do you hate about Bungie?

[austere zodiac]

I hate Marathon. Bungie is just another corporation doing all the same annoying things as any other one.

[lapis seal]

So, no games should allow community testing?

What did Marathon do that offended you?

[austere zodiac]

Other games that allow community testing and are shitty, either fix their shitty game or cut their shitty game

[lapis seal]

So what happens if they fix it?

[austere zodiac]

Then hopefully it becomes a good game.

Arc Raiders was a shitty game no one wanted in its alpha.

The devs took two years and went a different direction. Now it’s like by a broader audience and has some dedicated fans.

[lapis seal]

So, what are you upset about?

[austere zodiac]

Bungie looks like they will release the shitty game in a slightly less shitty state at this point in time.

But if we keep saying how shitty it is, maybe they will fix it.

[lapis seal]

I believe they will delay appropriately.

Did you get to play the game?

[austere zodiac]

I’m convinced Sony is too short sighted and greedy to delay appropriately

Yes, I did, I participated in the first test

[lapis seal]

Did you enjoy it?

[austere zodiac]

I was excited after the trailer and severely disappointed after the first few matches.

[lapis seal]

The launch trailer was, in fact a disaster.

[austere zodiac]

Yeah….

[lapis seal]

Do you play other extraction games?

[austere zodiac]

And I actually hated the art style, both the assets and the characters.

I especially hated the music.

[lapis seal]

Is the pixel art style a dealbreaker for you?

I’ve watched friends play tarkov and its orbiters, but Marathon and ARC raiders were my first.

ARC was a blast and Marathon felt unrewarding and like nothing was meaningful.

[austere zodiac]

Depends, sometimes it’s good sometimes it’s bad. Really about the game being fun more than anything (I guess the answer would be no, it’s not a deal breaker)

[lapis seal]

You just said you hated the art style and the music selections.

[kindred vigil]

neerrrds

[austere zodiac]

I thought you were going to suggest a pixel art style game. Misinterpreted what you were asking.

I did hate the music and Art for Marathon

[lapis seal]

Please do not take this the wrong way - are you ESL?

[austere zodiac]

No but I do speak/read other languages. Probably dyslexic.

[lapis seal]

I'd recommend other extraction shooters to try but... there's NO good ones rn 🤣

[austere zodiac]

Pixelation itself is a not a problem, the color palette just disgusts my brain.

The music hurts my ears (it’s like a fork on a plate or nails on a chalkboard for me)

[lapis seal]

That's fair, ARC raiders shall be your home, for however long the P2W money lasts.

[austere zodiac]

I usually just buy a season/battle pass in most games when I first try them out

[lapis seal]

That's reasonable.

[desert zenith]

im goin as f2p as possible, bungo aint catchin me with my pants down

[quartz abyss]

[lapis seal]

I'm a loot goblin, I rarely have to pay for anything 🤣

[lapis seal]

English second language.

Disagreements can be healthy, a simple misunderstanding is not productive.

[proud glade]

[kindred vigil]

Destiny 2 year 1:

[magic rose]

[mint torrent]

Game gonna be dead on release

[proud glade]

DON'T SLEEP ON THE PRIMUS

[tawdry olive]

it time for beddybye

[wooden forum]

Finally this chat is dying off

[mellow mural]

Whoever made these stickers should head the Art Team.

[proud glade]

whoever matched up with me in comp as my teammates should become the lead for marathon so they get bombarded with hate about their game

[hot rose]

i promise you it wasnt ur tm8s fault...

[proud glade]

i had more kills more captures more score more revives less deaths

was not my fault

[hot rose]

i bet

[clever bluff]

Its always the teammates fault

I am incapable of being bad

[proud glade]

im not god incarnate the round before that I went negative

[lethal tendon]

So is this game just done for

[dark shadow]

Reset the counter

0 days without game dead

[livid cobalt]

THIS GAME IS FUCKING DEAD

[dark shadow]

reset the counter again

[mighty parrot]

"game is dead"

statement by person who chose to join server about said game

[ocean cloak]

Dude Not born yet

[lapis cosmos]

Average gamer IQ

[ocean cloak]

I Trust This game is asome

[lapis seal]

Why?

[lapis seal]

Why?

[lethal tendon]

I figured it's done for cause doesn't it launch in September? We're not very far from that and there hasn't been a word from these devs

[wicked crater]

it's getting delayed indefinitely

they announced this like a month or so

[lethal tendon]

It got delayed?

Oh just pack up the studio honestly

[leaden lily]

Is there microtransactons in Marathon?

[wicked crater]

I never a seen an un-release game's discord server that is so actively so self-loathing towards the game as this

like why even be here if all you gonna do is just spam ded gaem lul

[frank breach]

When you say indefinitely, means the games just getting canned?

Or they actually going back to the drawing board and rethinking their shit

[wicked crater]

they going to announce a new release date when they feel they are ready to

[frank breach]

Might as well get that artist on board

[wicked crater]

right now they going hush hush and do more NDA closed playtest

and they are taking on board most of the feedback from the closed alpha

[frank breach]

My friend got access to it but I never got in lmao

[leaden lily]

me neither

[wicked crater]

https://www.bungie.net/7/en/News/Article/marathon_update

"You will hear from us later this Fall about our progress"

[frank breach]

Disappointing to say the least

Game was actually was coming in nicely

[lethal tendon]

It really didn't tho. The entire time the atmosphere and with the gunplay it really just felt like Destiny

[wicked crater]

I want a sci-fi extraction fps for a while, but Marathon is very rough around the edges if not straight up under cooked. If they didn't delay, this game would have been dead on arrival

[leaden lily]

Imagine if bungie released an article while I'm in Japan (going to Japan in October)

[frank breach]

Lucky bastard

[wicked crater]

That closed alpha didn't do them any favors for public perception at all, should have stayed under NDA.

[leaden lily]

maybe it will do well when it releases

[wicked crater]

and should lean into the "build crafting" potential they kept dangling around

[lethal tendon]

Should've just leaned into Destiny 3

[wicked crater]

like actually show us how end game would look like with those yellow gear

[leaden lily]

I like the art style

despite scrapping stolen artwork (probably for the best)

[wicked crater]

some of the yellow gear that some streamers showed have perks that are very reminiscent of Destiny

which is what I am really into

Problem is very few people got those items and very few people used them to their fullest potential.

[lethal tendon]

Arc raiders is gonna overtake this games community and just get bigger. It already launches in October I don't see people swapping to an entirely new extraction shooter down the line

[wicked crater]

The in-game graphics need a lot of work too, certain parts of the map were way too foggy and washed out, for a game that was supposedly gonna come out soon...

I'm glad they are delaying this, given those circumstances tbh

[lethal tendon]

Should've just made D3. They could've made a ton of money which I'm sure they'd like and people would actually care

[wicked crater]

Bro, why you in a discord for a game that you are not gonna play...

[lethal tendon]

That's like half this damn server lol

[wicked crater]

play what you like, Destiny 2 is there

[lethal tendon]

Yeah this server is really Poppin with people who are excited to play it lol

[weak falcon]

People are still playing d2

[wicked crater]

I played D2 until Witch Queen then checked out

[lethal tendon]

There's nearly 400k people in here and 3 people talking in the main chat lol

[wicked crater]

I follow D2 for the drama lmfao

even the drama is getting boring to follow

[weak falcon]

Ok?

[lethal tendon]

Cause we ain't got no choice lmao

Can't play D3 yet

[glacial bane]

you're a troll and an anti-fan

[lapis seal]

None that we're aware of. Skins for sale, pretty likely

[lapis seal]

Huh???

[glacial bane]

🤣 well put an emoji or something next time. It's text.

[tepid bane]

How does the community feel about crossover content in Marathon? How much do you want to see? What's too much?

[proven garnet]

I usually prefer no crossover content in games like Marathon that have a very prominent setting and fictional universe, as it can ruin the immersion and feel of the game.

[fierce sand]

Hi guys does anyone know when is the game gonna be playable for everyone? Wether its a playtest or whatever¿

[tepid bane]

No.

[tepid bane]

I completely agree, but let's say the game will have crossover content from other titles. How much are you willing to tolerate?

[proven garnet]

All we know is that there's gonna be an announcment/update from Bungie this fall, so it's possible they could announce another playtest or a beta that would come shortly afterword. Just a guess.

[pallid shoal]

No public play tests have been announced. The release has been delayed and no new release date has yet been announced.

[proven garnet]

Hmm. I depends on what it's from. If it's from other Bungie games, or similar sci-fi titles, and as long as it's subtle, It wouldn't bother me too much.

[tepid bane]

What about a crossover event involving another science fiction themed PlayStation title?

[proven kernel]

Ratchet and Clank?

[proven garnet]

well, I'm not sure. It depends on what it is.

[tepid bane]

Too juvenile. I don't think that'd be a good fit.
