So what is this bs about 30 fps cap for human eyes cuz there is no way

[pearl acorn]

game of the year

[tulip sedge]

*i think people who spent $2000 on PC is still superior

[keen zinc]

If they don't release the ost on spotify they're cooked

[nimble canyon]

#arachne-restricted-comms message

My setup.

[pearl acorn]

who tf spends 2k on a pc

[livid ledge]

As if 30 isn’t choppy.

[silent trout]

How we (yes WE) are gonna pull up when Coderace palys in game

[red gazelle]

2k on pc? KEKW

[tulip sedge]

fine, $1000

[nimble canyon]

I'll be honest with you. I really really do not recommend getting a computer in this current time. Given the prices of RAM and GPU, you won't be able to build one at a acceptable price anymore.

[silent trout]

God coderace is such a fucking banger

[keen zinc]

Was listening to it while making lunch

[pearl acorn]

bingo

[red gazelle]

Yeah and? Console is a crutch lmao how is that even a debate ever. Its for DaD gamers and couch enjoyers but PC possibilities are endless

[tulip sedge]

but hey, Auria's right. if they're building a new PC today, $1000 is like... lucky.

[pearl acorn]

you said this twice brother

[twilit frigate]

honestly the gpu depends

[west anchor]

Why do u have cpu z open are u burning in the thermal paste ?

[twilit frigate]

i upgraded from a 3080 to a 9700xt cause i’m done with nvidia and it was such a good choice

[keen zinc]

You could buy 32gb ddr5 ram or buy a used car

[silent trout]

First two minutes is mild head boping but when that drops hits

[nimble canyon]

I was checking my specs, someone asked.

[silent trout]

Cinema

[nimble canyon]

I use other tools to burn in my thermal paste and GPU testing

[livid ledge]

Our eyes are peak hz tf. Which is what 280,300- 500?

[west anchor]

Just use ptm and Duranaut my thermals don’t go over high 60s and mid 70s on full load

[tulip sedge]

at the end of the day, if you're happy with what you see on your monitor, then that's good enough. don't listen to the "you need 200hz to see better" group.

if you want 200hz, and you think it helps, then sure. by all means, go for it.

[forest laurel]

need all the frames you can get in an fps

[west anchor]

So we absolutely can perceive higher frames but as the frame rate goes up if there are any issues with parralax or things on top of each other your brain is strained and you get a headache

[livid ledge]

You need 200hz to compete and so people aren’t defying the laws of physics.

[nimble canyon]

I hate that 32GB 2x16 sticks of DDR5 now cost £363 (I only paid £70 previously new). And we got here because of generative AIs bubble and boom.

[atomic ocean]

is the game available in kazakhstan or ukraine?

[twilit frigate]

the only game that truly motivates me to upgrade my pc every few years is vrchat unironically

[nimble canyon]

AI bubble, more like AI blackhole.

[tulip sedge]

and I need to go buy dinner. have a good day.

[west anchor]

Which is why movies are at 24 fps to give that feeling 23.97 I think but yeah

[sonic swan]

u got phantom sense

[tulip sedge]

movies at 24 fps is a choice.

[nimble canyon]

Patiently waiting for the steam frame so I can upgrade from a generation one HTC vive with index controllers.

[twilit frigate]

I HAVE PHANTOM PAIN❗️❗️❗️

[west anchor]

It’s the standard

[twilit frigate]

vrchat players pmo i don’t like public lobbies in that game

[atomic ocean]

might be a trouble for me to play if not

[tulip sedge]

sure. but it's still a choice. they can make it 60 - 100 fps, but so far the only ones that look good with 60 fps that I can think of, is Avatar in 3D.

24 is still the go to

for that cinematic look

[west anchor]

Gemini man look it up they have good action scenes but when you do 60 it feels fake

[charred snow]

Avatar is a bit jarring since they have scenes with different framerates.

[atomic ocean]

[kindred vigil]

Woah

[west anchor]

You don’t run into these issues when your entire movie is cg with live action actors and a director who understands how to interpolate

[west anchor]

Thank you

[tulip sedge]

yeah like I said. not many 60 fps movies look good. which is why 24 is the way to go.

[livid ledge]

I’m not saying you’re wrong either but actions will not be performed if you don’t have the same technology as peak availability. It’s not just about seeing better but to actually see it happening.

[pearl acorn]

ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

[unborn oyster]

[twilit frigate]

holy spam

[charred snow]

But it looks good because it's an entirely CG movie. Something like Gemini Man doesn't look so great because it's all live-action. Kinda looks like a soap opera.

[twilit frigate]

game is pretty bad though lowkey

[west anchor]

Yup it’s the standard

[pearl acorn]

you cant spam one word

[twilit frigate]

flood then

🫩

[pearl acorn]

flood your face, gottem

[charred snow]

Lmao, saying the exact same thing as Katho

[regal wing]

Hello chat

[livid ledge]

The mortal kombat movies in 4K

[pearl acorn]

sup lil bro

[west anchor]

The frames are still 24 4K is the resolution can you elaborate further ?

[livid ledge]

Watch it yourself and see

[west anchor]

The movie is still shot in 24 frames what’s the point you’re making here

And I’ve seen the Mk movie

I just don’t see the point you’re making

[livid ledge]

Recently. Just go check it out.

[nimble canyon]

I am at IKEA.

[west anchor]

The movie came out some time ago

Is there a rerelease I’m missing lol

[west anchor]

I don’t understand the point you’re making if you can clarify great otherwise there’s no point in pursuing this further

[livid ledge]

No. I watched it recently because the famous actor that played Shang tsung died

[livid ledge]

Same as what you’re implying about Gemini

[teal condor]

Nice what you getting Kallax? Skadis?

[livid ledge]

It was supposed to end at “mortal kombat in 4K”…I’m just saying..

[nimble canyon]

Shopping for a dressing table and a nice mirror to go along with it, potentially integrated.

[teal condor]

3D printed skadis is okay 7/10

[teal condor]

Very nice 🤌

[west anchor]

I still don’t see your point my point was 24 frames are the standard

How is me watching the movie in 4K conducive to what you’re saying

[livid ledge]

Good. I know

[twilit frigate]

are we still talking about frames

😭

[west anchor]

I’m trying to understand the point thy are making but like I don’t get it

[tulip sedge]

let's talk about Thief runner

[twilit frigate]

would

[livid ledge]

Ok let me be clearer since I have to. 4K 60hz movie

[tulip sedge]

I want that concept art from that Collector's Edition box!

[twilit frigate]

idk what is going on even more

[nimble canyon]

Last time I was here I bought four blahaj two big ones, two small ones.

[livid ledge]

Good god

[twilit frigate]

i was considering it but i creased at the price

[tulip sedge]

[livid ledge]

If he was talking about a movie looking bad at a higher hz then I’m telling him an example

🫠🫠🤦🏻🤦🏻

[west anchor]

Where does it say it’s 60hz

[nimble canyon]

I just threw it on credit. It's future me's problem when I get paid.

[livid ledge]

Gemini man

[twilit frigate]

bad mindset

[west anchor]

I meant mortal kombat

[twilit frigate]

which is kinda ironic coming from me i’m like 2 grand in debt

[west anchor]

Where does it say it’s 60hz lol

[nimble canyon]

I mean only way to build credit score is spend and repay.

[livid ledge]

I thought it was self explanatory since that’s what we were discussing.

[nimble canyon]

Student debt?

[west anchor]

4K doesn’t mean it has 60hz ?

[livid ledge]

No

[west anchor]

That’s the point I’m making

The question mark is rhetorical

[twilit frigate]

credit debt, i’m not a student i have a job

[livid ledge]

That the conversation was self explanatory

?

[nimble canyon]

Ah.

[livid ledge]

Rhetorical as well

[west anchor]

W rage bait

[twilit frigate]

yippee cdkeys updated marathon pricing

[west anchor]

Don’t even know why you popped in with no source to what you’re saying

[teal condor]

I wonder if zodiac signs prefer a certain runner

[west anchor]

Gmg has it for 10 dollars less

[livid ledge]

I should go back and edit. “Like mortal kombat cgi”

[nimble canyon]

Loaded?

[twilit frigate]

yeah

[livid ledge]

Weirdo

[nimble canyon]

Amusing name change tbh.

[twilit frigate]

it’s 26 here for the steam key instead of 35

[dreamy crater]

did people do the contracts?

[twilit frigate]

we will be buying

[twilit frigate]

gmg costs more for me sadly

[west anchor]

???

[west anchor]

I mean

My bad chief

On me

[nimble canyon]

Yeah. Few of my friends are on the leaderboard.

[west anchor]

Cdkeys working out doe

[indigo summit]

Heh.... Yeah.... I'm back....

[twilit frigate]

yeah cdkeys is my goat

always get my pre orders off them for cheaper

[teal condor]

Mushroom coffee is great btw

[nimble canyon]

Never had it.

[livid ledge]

I said what I said. It was self explanatory.

And yea I tried to brush you off when you kept asking.

[west anchor]

Calling other people names for no reason isn’t self explanatory lol

[teal condor]

It tastes exactly what normal coffee smells like. No bitterness to cut through just bold and clean. No metallic undertones or what some would say "sweet"

[west anchor]

You intitated the discussion and I asked for clarity

[livid ledge]

W rage bait? Yea whatever

[nimble canyon]

Interesting. The bitterness is what puts me off coffee to begin with

[indigo summit]

Decent rage bait solid 6/10

[west anchor]

How is that calling you a name lol

[west anchor]

I’m sayin

[livid ledge]

Who fell for the bait?

[teal condor]

Same, then having to cut it with sugar. Then what's the point. Also coffee is buzz, mushroom coffee is Zen.

[indigo summit]

I'm ngl idk what yallre arguing about I just got back

[livid ledge]

Apparently we are arguing

[nimble canyon]

Do you think some people have gone back to lurking to prevent them being skinned by Arachne?

[pearl acorn]

GUYS EVERYONE CALM TF DOWN

[indigo summit]

Was too busy gaming with my awesome girlfriend heh... Just my awesome gamer life...

[indigo summit]

Nah

[west anchor]

I don’t even know they made a moot point and I asked for clarity and they were vague posting

[pearl acorn]

coffee this effoc that

[twilit frigate]

so true

[indigo summit]

I'm too hyped for marathon to calm down

[teal condor]

Some just like to watch

[twilit frigate]

i wish my girlfriend was real 🫩

[teal condor]

It's weird but true

[indigo summit]

If you schizopost enough she becomes real

Proven fact

[nimble canyon]

My polycule loves me and I love them. It's just a shame you can't get married to multiple people.

[indigo summit]

Hype

[teal condor]

Gf? Try being married and gaming. Gotta buy 2 of everything

[west anchor]

I get to play marathon with my partner they loved the concept so I’m very happy

[twilit frigate]

yo that’s so true

[pearl acorn]

im gonna buy a marathong for my marababe #swagforlife 😎

[twilit frigate]

i need a yoru in my life

trust

[indigo summit]

Now hold on a minute that ain't what I said

[west anchor]

Unfortunate bars but bars

[indigo summit]

I didn't know you wanted yoru

[livid ledge]

Idk either this guy was moving the conversation to movies over it being a good resource. I mentioned a movie after he mentioned it and he kept dragging it along…who really cares?

[nimble canyon]

That kinda excludes polyamory relationships

[teal condor]

Peak writing

[west anchor]

You apparently because you keep bringing it up

[twilit frigate]

but i neeed a yorrruuu

[indigo summit]

Imma play the hell outta it when it releases ong

[livid ledge]

Just like you dude.

[pearl acorn]

dawg shut it fuuh yoru

[nimble canyon]

I'm excited. I've played three tests and I want more marathon, I burned out and burned bright in arc so quickly.

[livid ledge]

I don’t really care

[indigo summit]

I haven't been this excited for a game release since borderlands 3 but that was a dumb purchase and this one definitely won't be

[west anchor]

I’m only responding to what you’re saying I’m not bringing it up lol

[twilit frigate]

😓

[nimble canyon]

Handsome Jack is the only good proper villain gearbox has made.

[indigo summit]

I have no goddamn clue why I bought that game day 1 full price

I don't even like borderlands

[orchid axle]

Good investment

[nimble canyon]

Who the hell thought twitch streamers would make good villains?

[west anchor]

You felll for the pitchford bait

[indigo summit]

Nah FL4K looked cool as hell and he admittedly was

[nimble canyon]

The randy Pitchfork claims another

[maiden token]

yall pre ordering and buying games day 1 I'm struggling to get through steam games I bought 5 years ago

[livid ledge]

“I don’t even know they made a moot point and I asked for clarity and all they did was make an example after the fact that we were talking about hz.” 🫠

[west anchor]

The game also has no emotional investment everybody is goofing off and the ending is a nothing burger

[nimble canyon]

FL4K is my favorite non-binary robit

[sullen bay]

everybody start fist fighting !!!!!!!

[normal dawn]

I never played boarder lands 2, just the first one a little

[wintry sorrel]

How do I infect?

[maiden token]

#arachne-restricted-comms

[west anchor]

Somebody asked me what was going on but keep going

[livid ledge]

…..I seriously don’t care

[nimble canyon]

Pre sequel is still one of my favorites.

[west anchor]

Sure

[indigo summit]

I've played a lil of 2 and the pre sequel and I didn't like them much and then I decided I was gonna buy 3 day one like some kinda moron

[normal dawn]

Lol

[nimble canyon]

Silly Australian borderlands.

Bogans.

[livid ledge]

I hope I can join your discord

[maiden token]

if you didn't care, you wouldn't reply 😎

[west anchor]

Borderlands 1 and prequel are great from what I hear

[normal dawn]

Hey it's your money man.

[indigo summit]

I know that's the problem

[west anchor]

Lmao

[livid ledge]

Couldn’t of clarified it any better

[indigo summit]

If it were someone else's I wouldn't care 😭

[normal dawn]

I liked tiny tinas Wonderland. That one was cool

[livid ledge]

Good to help the people out and letting them know how minuscule it was.

[indigo summit]

I don't generally love pve shooter stuff

[nimble canyon]

Yep. Two was also fun. Not as good as the other. With three it fell off hard. And with four it fell into the abyss.

[mossy cliff]

https://tenor.com/view/halo-2-halo-xbox-master-chief-original-xbox-gif-3327958532069124334

[west anchor]

Disagree about. 4

[indigo summit]

Like I played destiny but I basically only played crucible because Bungies gunplay is peak

[west anchor]

4s fun

Performance is abysmal

But 4s fun

[wintry sorrel]

I need to play marathon ngl

[indigo summit]

I've heard 4 is good

[nimble canyon]

Bungie is the king of gun play.

[livid ledge]

Open test soon apparently

[wintry sorrel]

Hope so

[indigo summit]

My brother bought it so I could play it but borderlands just ain't my kinda game

[normal dawn]

Gunplay in Destiny has always been peak. Makes it hard to play other shooters that are similar but they ain't Destiny

[west anchor]

Mid Feb open access

[indigo summit]

I don't like grinding in literally anything

[wintry sorrel]

Oh damn near my birthday

lol

Praying it’s on the 23rd

[indigo summit]

Another reason I basically only played crucible in D2

[magic phoenix]

Is it worth pre ordering if I cant play the game when it comes out?

[livid ledge]

Nobody asked you lol jk😂

[normal dawn]

Grinding out stuff can be fun, especially when you zone out with some music or a podcast

[nimble canyon]

Even D1 had gunplay that hooked me.

[indigo summit]

It sorta depends I suppose

[west anchor]

Depends

[indigo summit]

I don't super mind the repetitiveness but at a certain point I just get bored

[west anchor]

Do you want the reward the cosmetics ?

[magic phoenix]

weeks

[normal dawn]

Fr. It's the high I always chase. Other shooters I'll play but it isn't Destiny.

[west anchor]

If so then yes

[indigo summit]

Like if I have to do smth 30 times to get what I want I check out

[tacit kiln]

whats up with the contracts?

[indigo summit]

Less than ten? Sure

[livid ledge]

Ode to ARACHNE at that point am I right??

[indigo summit]

Ong

[normal dawn]

Yeah new args. For that's cool.

[winter spoke]

Unless you really want the pre order cosmetics. I'd say no if you can't play it on release

[tacit kiln]

what do yo umean by new arg?

[livid ledge]

They have a collectors edition

[indigo summit]

Which is why I'm hyped for marathon too, cause on paper it's the same every time. Go in, loot and shoot and leave. But there's so many variables that make it so much more fun to replay the same map over and over

[livid ledge]

It’s like 140$

[normal dawn]

No code or disk thou

[livid ledge]

Damn. One of those again?

[nimble canyon]

Actually the collectors comes with the game b

[maiden token]

I would only preorder if you played the tests and know you're probably gonna buy it anyway

[nimble canyon]

It has to cuz I activated it on steam

[normal dawn]

Yupp, it's on the site

[indigo summit]

It's part of the reason I don't like battle royales much, it just starts to feel samey after a while

[winter spoke]

Yeah it's how Bungie does all their CEs sadly

I was hoping we'd get a physical release since playstation did one for Helldivers 2 and even concord

[normal dawn]

Yeahh, not really a surprise but more of a oh that's cool.

[indigo summit]

And there's 6 shells plus rook so that's even more variety

[nimble canyon]

Borderlands four did the same thing

Collector's edition no game

[fluid haven]

Buy is the first step.

ところで、今のところ日本語版のSteamではスタンダード版しか購入できないようです。
今後デラックス版が解禁される予定があるか、ご存知の方はいませんか？
私は今朝、コレクターズ版の購入を諦めたばかりです。

For now, you can only buy the standard version on Japanese Steam.
Does anyone know if the deluxe version will be released in the future?
I just gave up buying the collectors edition this morning.

[indigo summit]

I know marathon gets flak from the wider gaming space for being "Class based" but I dont think I'd care nearly as much if it wasn't

[normal dawn]

It's kinda lame. But the days of everything being included are over

[nimble canyon]

Yep.

[winter spoke]

I'm 99.9% sure the deluxe edition will be released in the Future for you. At worst it'll be post launch dlc upgrade

[nimble canyon]

Games get cut down before launch so they can be packaged into DLC

[kindred vigil]

please give me everything piece meal

[maiden token]

I could take either or tbf
I think honestly those people are more bothered by marathon being a hero shooter. I don't think they would have cared if you had a generic shell who you then chose the abilities for

[nimble canyon]

I miss when we got everything we paid for.

I also miss physical media.

[normal dawn]

Mmm meal hungry

[nimble canyon]

I just had something nice to eat at the Ikea Cafe.

[normal dawn]

Me too bud

[nimble canyon]

As much as I appreciate things like steam, I wish I could own my games.

[fluid haven]

Thank you very much for your kindness!
My dream is to work as an employee of Sekiguchi Genetics!

[indigo summit]

I think it works for live service stuff with free updates but there has to be 1: Enough stuff at launch to not get bored too quick 2: releasing updates quick enough. If there's nothing at launch and it's gonna take 6 months for any meaningful updates it's kinda cooked

[maiden token]

mmm Kallax shelving 🤤

[stable kiln]

Yay

[livid ledge]

Smorgasbord

[winter spoke]

I'm curious how different this game will feel in terms of loot. Cause arc in comparison I wouldn't fully classify as loot persay like others. You're more savaging for parts to craft than finding a certain items to use immediately as loot

[nimble canyon]

I'm kind of a fat girl so yeah.

[livid ledge]

Health inspectors only

[willow dawn]

Anyone know if Marathom will be on xbox anywhere like Arc

[indigo summit]

I mean I picked NuCaloric before I got skinned so ueah

[normal dawn]

Yess

[winter spoke]

That Zelda in your pfp is very pretty

[stable kiln]

What is "skinned"

[winter spoke]

Skin for the skin god

[indigo summit]

Arachne stuff

[ocean dagger]

Published by Sony so probably not

[kind gyro]

Blessed.

[indigo summit]

Im pretty sure it's on Xbox

[livid ledge]

It will

[nimble canyon]

More people should play legend of Zelda, especially the older games.

[winter spoke]

Yeah they're asking about Xbox's play anywhere thing though

[ocean dagger]

They mean where you buy it for Xbox and it plays on both Xbox and PC

[winter spoke]

I don't think it'll be on there

[normal dawn]

It will. Possibly just trolling

[indigo summit]

Wasn't the reason they released the release date trailer a little early cause Xbox leaked it?

[nimble canyon]

Spirit tracks for example and phantom hourglass.

[indigo summit]

Ah gotcha

No clue

[nimble canyon]

Yes they put it on Reddit. I think a timer might have slipped

[stable kiln]

Sekiguchi team

[winter spoke]

Yup haha usually it's PSN who does that

[indigo summit]

Also please Bungie I beg release songs on Spotify I want them now the ost sounds so good

[livid ledge]

CyberAcme

[normal dawn]

Probably was released early because of the leak, I was expecting later in the year or release possibly even December.

[indigo summit]

A rare win for Sony in that regard

[stable kiln]

[livid ledge]

[tulip sedge]

you know I hate how I can't google "Marathon Thief Artwork" without the other infamous story to just popped up in the results.

[normal dawn]

[livid ledge]

Supply the needs please…

[indigo summit]

[normal dawn]

That's true. I just wasn't getting my hopes up for a march release but here we are baby

[livid ledge]

And there’s Arachne…..

[indigo summit]

I'm really glad it was too because it was definitely gonna be released undercooked if it came out then, plus it's no longer competing with Arc as much

[winter spoke]

I wish this server allowed me to use emojis from others. I have some fun ones! Like Doro dressed as pochita

[stable kiln]

Always the arachne....

[polar ravine]

^^^^ thank fuck bro, getting delayed was the best possible outcome here

[void gull]

Arguably the best Microsoft ecosystem feature ever

[winter spoke]

Yeah the right call was absolutely made. I think the game was getting judged too harshly by the alpha. Aside from the.. art thief of course

[polar ravine]

now marathon can learn from arc raiders' many balance issues

[weary marlin]

i mean from the tech test i knew it wasn’t gonna be delayed

[gleaming bough]

Hungry

[weary marlin]

i won’t say anything more about it

[nimble canyon]

A KALLAX shelving unit could do well for my bedroom

[indigo summit]

I'm really curious what NuCaloric and Sekuguchis faction quests are, I'm guessing CyberAcmes will be go hack a terminal stuff but I have no clue what the other two will ask

[normal dawn]

Me too

[cosmic dove]

Really hoping they'll remove the gender lock from the runners and let us play as we want

[nimble canyon]

Designed to be modular and all.

[nimble canyon]

That would border on character creation that's not happening

[livid ledge]

Harvest

[normal dawn]

Gotcha, I only played the second alpha.

[nimble canyon]

Predefined shells.

[harsh flare]

Marathon top 5 sellers in steam

[weary marlin]

wish i could share more, the only thing i can share is the graphics, the graphics were amazing in the tech test, pretty much what they shown in the trailers and all

[indigo summit]

Yeah that sucked, it was also blown massively outta proportion but hey the artist and Bungie have apparently reached an agreement so it's good now

[winter spoke]

"concord 2"

[indigo summit]

Plus I'm pretty sure the plagiarism was literally the reason it got delayed so

Like plagiarism is bad but

[weary marlin]

split gate was concord 2

[normal dawn]

That's so cool. I'm looking forward to more once I get my paws on it.

[nimble canyon]

Apparently they've gotten even better

[weary marlin]

concord 3 is high guard

[normal dawn]

Gimmie

[void gull]

Excited for my 4050 to blow up on release day then

[normal dawn]

Nahh more like Anthem 2

[livid ledge]

Sekiguchi is like CyberAc but NuCaloric is harvest and material in agriculture

[indigo summit]

Highguard is concord 2 no other game has that big of a studio, split gate is too small to qualify really

[nimble canyon]

Rowlet has paws?

[weary marlin]

nah, it’s a 2060 recommended and a 1060 minimum

[light grove]

well i allready refunded marathon preorder. apparently you dont get your bonus if you play on epic and not steam wtf

[kind gyro]

Join us.

[normal dawn]

Talons I should say lol

[livid ledge]

If anything sekiguchi is sorta militant

[winter spoke]

Did you hear the story that apprently they didn't pay to be there? Geoff just put them there himself 😭

[barren prawn]

do we know anything about support for linux yet, i know the game will have battle eye but thats all i know

[winter spoke]

Geoff buddy what are you doing

[indigo summit]

I mean if he liked the game it's fine the problem imo is the fact they went completely radio silent

The game is slated to release in a week

It's not going to at ALL

[polar ravine]

oh dear lord please tell me thats not true. geoff you did not just set them up for the most high profile failure of the year

[nimble canyon]

Fair. Fair.

[indigo summit]

There's like a solid 70/30 chance it gets delayed

[kind gyro]

Join us.

[north echo]

Release I need this NOW

[nimble canyon]

They apparently want to just drop it like they did with Apex Legends

[normal dawn]

Bruh

[nimble canyon]

That's why they did this.

[north echo]

Tf is high guard

[normal dawn]

I'm for that just dropping it and letting the people know it's out.

[polar ravine]

im guarding it im guarding it so high rn

[winter spoke]

Ironically I do think highguard's radio silence and possible just dropping of the game will get people to check it out. At least at first

[indigo summit]

I mean yeah but apex was unique when it came out and it worked because it was the Titanfall universe, Highguard isn't unique or an existing IP so it's sorta cooked

[void gull]

Does anyone know exactly how limited the collectors editions are?

[polar ravine]

there were only 2 of them and i bought both sorry

[weary marlin]

i guess i can say this as well

[indigo summit]

I mean there's unique elements but I have no clue what they really are because there's literally no gameplay outside of that game awards trailer

[weary marlin]

outpost is a very small map

[nimble canyon]

Until they sell out is my guess.

[normal dawn]

2 and I ate one

[weary marlin]

nonstop pvp

[void gull]

Aww

[nimble canyon]

Collector's editions is normally sell really quickly.

[indigo summit]

It looks small but way more tight and maze like yeah

[polar ravine]

they call it a "raid shooter" and no one knows wtf that means and theyve made no attempts to elaborate

[nimble canyon]

Because theyre limited run only produced once

[normal dawn]

That's what I wanna hear yeahh, small map and lots of pvp.

100% serious

[nimble canyon]

If you want one, I suggest you find the scratch to buy one

[indigo summit]

Exactly, if they released a gameplay deep dive or something it'd probably get like half the flak but they just... Havent

And it's supposed to come out in a week too

[livid ledge]

10v10 on black heart type of vibe

[nimble canyon]

Because I don't know how long they'll be in stock.

[winter spoke]

Yeah the trailers made it seem like a more open MP game. Maybe with PvE elements. It seemed neat

[indigo summit]

Like what are they cooking

[void gull]

Tbf with the amount of different variants there are im sure I can end up getting one later in the year through the storefront or go sacrifice a scalper on ebay

[normal dawn]

Yesss

[weary marlin]

it is more of an endgame map, it’s marked as ‘high risk’, will lock it behind a minimum level

and that’s all i’ll say about it lol

[nimble canyon]

I hate scalping. Unless it's Arachne related.

[normal dawn]

Gotta risk it for the biscuit

[polar ravine]

thats the crazy part though i didnt get any of that. we both saw the same trailer and came away with completely different ideas on what the game is

[indigo summit]

Yeah from what I've gathered Perimeter is sorta easy beginning map, dire marsh bumps up the difficulty and then perimeter is just crazy insane

[weary marlin]

but i’m telling you, it is a VERY small map, it’s pretty much one small base

[ocean dagger]

Feels bad knowing I still got to play ARC another month

[indigo summit]

And then there's cryo archives which looks nuts

[weary marlin]

honestly man

play d2 pvp

it’ll be good practice for the gunplay

[indigo summit]

Yeah tbh

[nimble canyon]

If you want to buy the collector's editions, you better find the eddies choom.

Wrong game.

[void gull]

Im probably just gonna take the month and play tekken untill im mediocre

[ocean dagger]

I never played d2 won’t the pvp be doodoo if j don’t have high light stuff?

[arctic vigil]

Is there a lfg channel or discord

[indigo summit]

I would download D2 and do that but it's so big I genuinely don't think I have space on my console

[normal dawn]

I'm all for it. Especially since I like that close counter pvp in a small/tight map.

[weary marlin]

gotta get a good gig goin’

[polar ravine]

back in the april playtest dire marsh was like the designated purge pvp map and im so excited to play it in an environment that's actually slower and more suited for the environment

[livid ledge]

……

[nimble canyon]

That game altered my vocabulary

[weary marlin]

it’s still big enough where you have sniper locations, it’s the first map they show in the preorder trailer

[indigo summit]

Unless you're doing trials which is the high tier comp mode it sorta balances it out

[void gull]

I mean if you just want a new game arknights endfeild comes out tomorrow

Its few at least

[nimble canyon]

I am

[void gull]

Free*

[ocean dagger]

Slurs

[indigo summit]

But you should probably do at least some of the campaign to get some guns and such

[glass peak]

is there will be a open playtest before release?.

[livid ledge]

It’s all fun and games if that’s an arasoka “Sony” reference….

[normal dawn]

There was ..

[weary marlin]

yes

[ocean dagger]

Let me dl that real quick

Let me find out

[indigo summit]

There'll be a free open weekend before release yeah

[nimble canyon]

When people talk about arasakas ninjas all I can think about is Nintendo for some reason.

[indigo summit]

Don't know exactly when but probably late February

[weary marlin]

there’ll be an open preview weekend before release, we just don’t when it’ll be out @glass peak

[normal dawn]

Yeah you right

[gleaming bough]

Ughhh I went to work 2hr early now I have to wait.

[livid ledge]

Well. Remember the PlayStation symbol “choom” flash?

[normal dawn]

Wack, get that bread bruh

[indigo summit]

Bruh I'm broke imma have to move some product to even buy the game 😭

I'll figure it out

[karmic sable]

Yes, it is confirmed there will be an open access weekend before launch. Date isn’t specified yet

[indigo summit]

I've got like a month and a half

[normal dawn]

I'll help you man let's get this shit done

[livid ledge]

Sony is pretty massive.

[nimble canyon]

I'm still shopping for furniture at ikea.

[pearl lichen]

I hope you are able to talk in proximity chat through the Thief's drone, while you steal somebody's loot. That would make it a 10/10 game for me. : )

[winter spoke]

Can you get us all a Blahaj

[nimble canyon]

They are yeah and they make more than just games, consoles and games. They make a hell of a lot of things so maybe it is more fitting than they are the arasaka.

[indigo summit]

Thief's drones actual yoink looks kinda mid

[weary marlin]

it’s been a bit, did you manage to get access to the tech test??

[nimble canyon]

I have four at home, two big ones. Two small.

[indigo summit]

The fact you have to bring the drone back sorta reveals where you are no?

[nimble canyon]

Everyone should get one.

[nimble canyon]

It's not meant to be riskless.

[normal dawn]

Get a snack from the food bar

[lime solstice]

[winter spoke]

It's kinda funny that cyberpunk ended up on playstation plus as a mainlije game before gamepass despite what happened between CDPR and Sony

[winter spoke]

Heck yeah'

[nimble canyon]

She's risk reward

[indigo summit]

I know but I feel like its lower risk to just murder the guy, then you get all the stuff

[livid ledge]

You see Sony stores but not Nintendo stores. Well Nintendo stores like Sony.

[normal dawn]

She risk my reward till I'm unboud

[nimble canyon]

Other players are alerted when you pickpocket them

They get a warning on their heads-up display

[indigo summit]

Yeah I'm probably too stupid to use it effectively tbh

[weary marlin]

i mean i would be surprised if they didn’t

[normal dawn]

Same

[livid ledge]

Yup. Definitely wasn’t going to suffice on PlayStation at release, but anyways.

[indigo summit]

I have no clue who to play first at all

All the shells look so fun

[pearl lichen]

rook

[indigo summit]

Probably either vandal or destroyer tbh

I like shmovement

[weary marlin]

i’ll be playing as triage/medic

[karmic sable]

For the October test they gave out surveys for people to sign in. But besides that for any other test you had to be selected by being on previous tests

[pearl lichen]

me too prolly

[livid ledge]

Something still feels off about cyberpunk though. Even though I played it non stop.

[indigo summit]

I mean I'm a hunter main in destiny and they sorta split hunter into threes 😭

[nimble canyon]

They get really upset and start chasing your drone.

[edgy phoenix]

its the point of it, actually.

[indigo summit]

Plus I love grapple hooks in games so much

[weary marlin]

last time we spoke you were having trouble getting in the tech test, was wondering if you actually managed to get in

[karmic sable]

So for MCP Playtests to be selected you had to be on April Alpha and for December-January Playtests you had to be on October test

[indigo summit]

I played TF out of Pathfinder when I played apex

[normal dawn]

Grapple hook is always a win

[late aurora]

The entire forum is red. The other Factions are slacking

[karmic sable]

Oh I got randomly got selected while I was on the airport

[livid ledge]

But like if it’s sorta trash but it’s actually really good.

[normal dawn]

Same just happened to me too

[nimble canyon]

They were infected. That's how it goes.

[weary marlin]

i mean on steam, you weren’t able to download the game or anything

[indigo summit]

Chat I'm forgetting one of the shells because I'm foolish

[normal dawn]

I don't remember them either

[indigo summit]

I can remember 5

[livid ledge]

I was signed up since April and got selected in December.

[indigo summit]

But I'm forgetting the 6th

There are 6 right or am I high rn

Not including rook

[flat burrow]

Destroyer, recon, triage, assassin, vandal, thief, rook

[weary marlin]

destroyer/locus, glitch/vandal, blackbird/recon, thief, triage/medic, void and rook

[normal dawn]

I thought it was 5

[indigo summit]

Recon was the one I forgot yeah

[normal dawn]

Nvm

[livid ledge]

I play triage if anyone wants to team up.

[weary marlin]

there can only be one

[livid ledge]

CyAc Triage

[weary marlin]

and that’s me

[normal dawn]

Fight fight fight

[indigo summit]

I would but statistically speaking I live on the other side of the world so ping would obliterate me

[normal dawn]

We settle this like men, a 1v1 of connect four.

[karmic sable]

That wasn’t my problem? My problem was being not selected because I got signed onto April alpha with a streamer code

[livid ledge]

[indigo summit]

Welp you win I guess

[normal dawn]

Lol

[weary marlin]

oh right i remember now

[livid ledge]

lol

[normal dawn]

You guys are fun to talk too

It's also 7am here bruh

[weary marlin]

jenga

[livid ledge]

[nimble canyon]

I played three play tests in total but I've lost two of them because this account was hacked and it got banned. My ALT account has one of the player tests on it.

[indigo summit]

I love shmovement in games and marathon looks like it'll be a good middle ground between that and more grounded and that's perfect imo

[weary marlin]

1pm for me

[livid ledge]

I pray I don’t get hacked.

[nimble canyon]

It was banned for hate speech because when it was hacked someone decided to say some transphobic garbage on it.

[indigo summit]

I feel like there aren't many games in the middle, they're either all shmovement or no movement

[nimble canyon]

It should have been permanently banned but I had receipts to say that discord recovered my account.

[normal dawn]

Jeez. Seriously,?

[weary marlin]

i played two and then deleted my old account, now i don’t have access to the tech test channels in october or the alpha test channels

[indigo summit]

I think Destiny might be the only other one I can think of ironically

[indigo summit]

Damn

[spiral geyser]

Any info where next playtest for EU or realest game will happent

[nimble canyon]

I didn't have my ad block on and I was hit with a cross-site scripting exploit hidden in an advertisement of a malicious nature. It stole my session token and my 2FA token from discord in the web browser.

[indigo summit]

Free weekend before launch

[weary marlin]

nope, but it’ll happen at the same time for everyone, it’s a free weekend

[olive oracle]

Hi! For the very latest news on Marathon, check out #marathon-news

[nimble canyon]

From there it was able to steal my session. Imitating it without the need to log in.

[spiral geyser]

Its say 5 march realest

[normal dawn]

Damn, and that was all it took to lose the access. Jeez so sorry about that.

[nimble canyon]

Yeah, that's why I'm so particular about adverts in web browsers. Some of them can be really nasty things and not just in the content they show.

XSS is pretty common but not to the degree I experienced.

[weary marlin]

that’s when the game comes out, there’ll be a free weekend at some point before launch

[normal dawn]

Can't be too careful with that kinda security.

[spiral geyser]

I love this game idk why but i played this more than arc raiders

[livid ledge]

Yup

[formal grove]

cus it’s better

[indigo summit]

I'm personally just more of a first person guy tbh

[spiral geyser]

Also 3 person view just dont fit me

[indigo summit]

Third person works much better with cartoony dumb stuff imo

[silver hearth]

Does anyone know if it will be possible to play via GeForceNow?

[livid ledge]

I don’t like the gun play of arc

[nimble canyon]

I find first person more immersive, especially if I can see my legs and lower body

[normal dawn]

I prefer First Person view as well

[livid ledge]

But hunt showdown is fun

[wispy yacht]

"Access to all gameplay updates (maps, Runner shells, events, etc.) as the year progresses" ??

Will the content behind the paywall in future ?

[spiral geyser]

We had group of 80 people playing this game it was fun 3/4 loobys on

When we switch to arc 1 week everyone left it

[nimble canyon]

I don't see why not destiny 2 is on G-Force now.

[indigo summit]

Fortnite is cartoony but the guns are too real I guess so I dont love it and Arc is too realistic for third person to really work imo, but Marvel Rivals is perfect i love that game

[indigo summit]

Definitely not, I'm assuming it's just corpo speak in case the game dies 😭

[livid ledge]

I can dig Fortnite and marvel rivals but arc…

[spiral geyser]

Also new pubg game its really bad at gunplay

[indigo summit]

Which it probably isn't by the way

[spiral geyser]

Marathon was fun guns to shoot

[indigo summit]

Bungie does good guns for sure

[weary marlin]

people are saying on twitter that marathon is copying arc raiders price, but the price for marathon was announced before arc raiders did their betas

[livid ledge]

I hope the variety is wider.

[teal condor]

Bungo peak gunplay

[spiral geyser]

Pubg new game is horribel

[indigo summit]

There's 4 things Bungie is consistently good at, Gunplay, Art direction, Music and Sound design imo

[wispy yacht]

Yeah I don't know why they wrote this
This is my first bungie game, how's the situation with any other bungie game ?

[spiral geyser]

They try to mix to much things and gunplay is so bad

[normal dawn]

I haven't played Pubg in ages

[teal condor]

Lol I tried it, it's so bad lmao

[livid ledge]

It doesn’t have to be broad like call of duty though. I bet weapon balancing sucks.

[spiral geyser]

Hahahah its feel so bad

[teal condor]

Ultra generic experience

[spiral geyser]

Whne u try to shoot recoil is insane high

[edgy phoenix]

bit shaky on the last two, I hope to see improvements as I have loved Bungie

[wispy yacht]

I will play both arc and marathon they are different enough
Idk why people compare these games 🥲

[indigo summit]

I mean destiny 2 has been going for almost ten years at this point and im pretty sure they're not planning on abandoning marathon unless it's a last resort or the company is gonna go bankrupt kinda thing

[livid ledge]

Extraction

[weary marlin]

because they are both extraction games and came out within months of each other

[teal condor]

No more arc marathon beef

[normal dawn]

People love the beef

[indigo summit]

They're both extraction shooters that's about where the similarities end

[weary marlin]

even though marathon is more pvp than pve, you can tell my trailers and the alpha gameplay

[teal condor]

Chicken is better chat

[wispy yacht]

That's the only similarity

[indigo summit]

Yeah I don't hate arc or anything it's just not my kinda games

[teal condor]

Yeah same tbh

[normal dawn]

I haven't played Arc, but I hear it popular

[livid ledge]

It’s only PvP because of Arachne and sekiguchi and Midas

[weary marlin]

while arc is more pve, which is what makes it boring as a extraction shooter, no tension at all

[normal dawn]

Not to mention you'd have to be living under a rock to hear about Arc

[teal condor]

Marathon has a cat variety pack, we are done with the beef

[indigo summit]

I don't really understand ppl who want one of them to fail so their favorite comes out on top so to speak, surely you want them both to succeed so they have to compete and release better stuff right?

[wispy yacht]

You are playing a very different game, mine is all PvP bro

[teal condor]

I am now a Marathon Arc neutralist

[weary marlin]

both games are good in their own way, but marathon to me is way better

[indigo summit]

I hope pressure from arc lights a fire under Bungie, cause destiny hasn't had much competition for a decade so they've sorta glided I feel

[normal dawn]

May have to check it out just to see.

[teal condor]

It's a self defense mechanism, they want good things to last that's it

[wispy yacht]

Does anyone know marathon/ bungie other game have a server in singapore

[normal dawn]

Like when most of the "Destiny Killers" ended themselves. exp Anthem

[magic schooner]

will game support DLSS?

[teal condor]

When something similar but different comes out people feel threatened that their good thing will not last. It's natural albeit unhealthy.

[indigo summit]

Probably not, but it'll have both Australian and Asian servers for sure

[livid ledge]

I once said “marathon reminds me of cyberpunk in certain aspects.”

[weary marlin]

and now there’ll be marathon killers lol

[nimble canyon]

Unfortunately.

[indigo summit]

And as a guy using Australian servers when I'm across an ocean it works fine

[nimble canyon]

God I'm so sick of upscaling technologies. Every game requires them to run properly.

[indigo summit]

Definitely, it's got that corpo vibe for sure

[inland geyser]

does the collecters edition include the deluxe or standard version of the game?

[normal dawn]

We will see lol. Im here for the hype and the hate train

[nimble canyon]

There was a point where upscaling technologies was only required for bad hardware.

[indigo summit]

Deluxe I believe

[nimble canyon]

The collector's edition includes the deluxe and everything in it

[inland geyser]

one would hope so

[wispy yacht]

That's what I am asking asia is so big so there are multiple asian server for example Dubai for middle East part , india / singapore for south asia and Hong Kong for east asia

[nimble canyon]

And despite these technologies, good luck getting the average game to run over 60.

[livid ledge]

And the stamina and implant features.

[charred snow]

You can also get just the Collector's Edition merch without the game.

[nimble canyon]

True

[teal condor]

Imagine if it didn't 💀

Pull an apple, no charger included

[indigo summit]

I'd love to but I'm broke and I'm pretty sure they don't ship it to my country, maybe one day 🤷‍♂️

[karmic sable]

Yeah, that’s pretty standart for Bungie’s CE’s

[nimble canyon]

I'd buy the controller if I had a need for it. But I play with keyboard and mouse. The controller is pretty though b

[normal dawn]

Alright chat I gotta get something to eat I'm starving. Y'all want anything?

[charred snow]

It's cool they do this. More options is always neat.

[indigo summit]

Pizza

[weary marlin]

marathon atm is in the top 10 steam top sellers in the world

if you ignore steam deck it’s 9th

[livid ledge]

Hyperpop red

[nimble canyon]

Do you have GDK in your area?

[wispy yacht]

Which shell you guys are running first

I will run loot goblin one 🤣

[nimble canyon]

Thief.

[normal dawn]

What's GDK?

[livid ledge]

Rook

[mortal plume]

Assassin all day

[indigo summit]

Probably either Thief or Destroyer

[nimble canyon]

German doner kebab

[charred snow]

I think the majority is going Thief. I may go either Trauma or Vandal/Glitch

[wispy yacht]

Rook is the free kit mid raid spawn one m

[karmic sable]

I mean, 4 of those top 10’s are F2P games

[indigo summit]

I feel like I'm gonna have to play at least a game with each before I even touch rook

[normal dawn]

Oooh no not that, sounds good thou

[livid ledge]

Yup

[weary marlin]

yea

[normal dawn]

Alright later chat.

[nimble canyon]

Being able to temporarily go invisible at will is pretty useful

[brave jewel]

The arc raiders discord is full of chuds holy shit 😭

[wispy yacht]

Blasting all the rooks them 💀🫡

[nimble canyon]

To be expected

[indigo summit]

Btw do we know what the tutorial stuff is like at all? I'm sure there's a bunch of people new to the genre so I hope it's good

[karmic sable]

Not even surprised considering how its community is from Twitter and other places

[charred snow]

You get a scripted "tutorial run"

[indigo summit]

But Bungies recent reputation with onboarding new players kind makes me nervous tbh

[mortal plume]

Fr and smoke plumes when you get spotted by bots or shot at by players can really help for repositioning and healing

[indigo summit]

Nice

[livid ledge]

…..bot boys ftw CyAc

[teal condor]

Define chuds chat

[indigo summit]

Because the current new light missions in destiny have been terrible ever since they vaulted red war

[brave jewel]

It looks like rn arcs biggest issue is content rollout
It’s been two weeks and both updates were just 5 sets of bug fixes

They are tweaking out

[karmic sable]

Yeah I agree. But to be fair Destiny 2 is just such a complex game that its new player onboarding would need to be changed nearly every 2 seasons

[indigo summit]

True

[timid socket]

It means loser

[indigo summit]

Maybe they shouldn't change the core systems every 2 years, just a thought though

[weary marlin]

marathon and gta 6 are the games i’m most hyped for this year

[teal condor]

I actually just onboarded a new light into D2 last week

[livid ledge]

Nioh 3

[indigo summit]

GTA 6 this year 😭

[teal condor]

Definitely not new player friendly

[wispy yacht]

You know what embark is hiring a lot of engineers and artists currently it seems they didn't expected that the game will become this big and now they are lacking on updates because of short team, my cousin gave an interview at embark for backend engineer role

[timid socket]

This means you are NOT a chud

[charred snow]

I'm gonna have to rush Resident Evil Requiem in the weekend before Marathon comes out 😭

[livid ledge]

Resident evil requiem

[teal condor]

No lie Destiny Renegades is so good

[livid ledge]

007

[teal condor]

And nobody is talking about it

[timid socket]

This is factually correct

[paper flicker]

https://x.com/GoodGuyNony/status/2013603345441738919?s=20 pls bungie

[indigo summit]

Yeah I think the biggest difference between Arc and Marathon ppl haven't really talked about is studio size, embark is a decently sized company sure but it's Bungie

[teal condor]

Damn the IRS got you

[weary marlin]

don’t like those type of games or 007

[wispy yacht]

Embark has around 200 employees

[indigo summit]

It's gonna affect update frequency for sure I feel

[timid socket]

I really hope they get their flow right with this six month system because renegades is good and edge of fate wasn’t horrible and I want more fun and different stuff

[livid ledge]

Well

[livid ledge]

High on life 2

[charred snow]

007 gameplay looked extra janky, even for an early version.

[teal condor]

The loot is also amazing I legit didn't think they could top their current loot but they did

[livid ledge]

Hitman multiplayer

[karmic sable]

Besides that elephant in the room, the difference is simply they are designed to be different takes on extraction genre

[weary marlin]

not my type of humour

[indigo summit]

Oh for sure

[teal condor]

Only problem is renegades is expensive so most people will not try it

[weary marlin]

crimson desert does look interesting though

[strange cipher]

I can't decide between maining thief, recon or triage, they all appeal to me in different ways

[pearl acorn]

dlcs for destiny should have been way cheaper

[wispy yacht]

How many guns are going to be at launch ?

[karmic sable]

I always compare Arc and Marathon to Fortnite and Apex. Both are Battle Royale but they are COMPLETE different takes on it

[indigo summit]

If tarkov is one end and Arc is the other I feel like marathon is trying to be right in the middle

[livid ledge]

Nioh3?

[charred snow]

Is it a good time to hop back into D2 (left after beating the OG campaign)?

[weary marlin]

not into souls likes, the genre is just watered down and it’s always the same type of plot

[gilded burrow]

can you earn on next battlepass with completing previous? is that confirmed?

[timid socket]

Yeah honestly they just need to make primaries feel good in higher end content and make the tier system make sense because it actually feels kinda bad getting one million tier 5s with little effort. Those things should be so rare they make you excited when they drop

[pearl acorn]

cant say for nda reasons but its a good amount dw, lots of variety ill tell you that

[karmic sable]

I’ll do you one better. Battle passes do not expire and can be purchased anytime even if their season ends

[timid socket]

The onboarding is really rough but this is probably the most free content they’ve ever featured

[uncut elk]

pre-ordered yesterday 19.01.26 the deluxe edition ... tried to have a look at the destiny goodies but found just a ship and a sparrow .. wasnt there supposed to be more ?

[wispy yacht]

Okay thanks man

[livid ledge]

Idk. I played alpha and I must say that it’s pretty good. The ninja mechanics and fluidity of it has changed for the better.

[indigo summit]

I love that marathon is a "hero shooter" but without the guns too. Like in overwatch I may love a characters abilities but if I hate their main gun im just never gonna touch them but marathon has proper weapons and outside of destiny I'm not sure any other fps does that

[weary marlin]

still a no

[teal condor]

Highly recommend it. I'm not even a Star Wars fanboy (I only like their old stuff) and even I had an amazing time. However the price is unfortunate seeing how it costs the same as Marathon now.

[karmic sable]

The other stuff(emote, shader, ornament etc) will come with todays Eververse refresh

[indigo summit]

23 I'm pretty sure

[livid ledge]

That’s fine. Just letting you in on the info

[pearl acorn]

this but the extra pages cannot be gained unless you bought the bp on release and unlocked them on the season so there is some exclusive reward to dedicated players of that season? like maybe 2 extra bonus pages.

[indigo summit]

There's a couple vids on YouTube that talk about all of them I believe

[charred snow]

I've been wanting to go back to either that or Warframe, but Warframe seems extra cryptic 😅

[weary marlin]

souls likes are just too saturated at this point, the only point they have is the difficulty and that’s it

[indigo summit]

I'm so happy MIDA Multi Tool is in Marathon too btw I loved it in Destiny so much

[prime siren]

How much stuff can you actually keep in marathon, like how big is your vault.

[pearl acorn]

mida multi tool is named after a faction in the game so yeah very epic

[livid ledge]

Ok lol. I’m loving it. No pressure for a change

[weary marlin]

that really depends, you can upgrade the size of your vault

[timid socket]

Warframe is cool but I could never get into it because the gameplay feels kinda “floaty” if that makes sense

[uncut elk]

it is originally a marathon weapon !! !

[pearl acorn]

pretty big, depends on bag size

[indigo summit]

I don't dislike them on paper but I dislike that they're all identical aesthetically, like they're all dark fantasy medieval I feel

[prime siren]

Gimme a number

[indigo summit]

Oh I know but I loved it in Destiny so I'm happy it's back

[livid ledge]

You can increase your bag and vault with faction upgrades.

[indigo summit]

Like if someone released a souls like that's scifi I think I'd probably love it

[weary marlin]

i think at first, if i’m remembering correctly it’s 70, and can reach 200+

[charred snow]

Try The Surge 1&2

[uncut elk]

it is still good 🙂

[livid ledge]

Bruh. Lies of P is probably the closest

[pearl acorn]

guys dont forget to do stretches every day, its important to stress and stretch the joints

[indigo summit]

I'll probably have to at some point

[polar ravine]

destiny 2 preorder bonuses will be big news for me if i ever suddenly realize i actually enjoy the game's progression and reinstall

[pearl acorn]

peak

[prime siren]

So who here who is ready to spread misery and pain to every other runner?

[indigo summit]

Me me me!!

[pearl acorn]

ME ME ME ME

[polar ravine]

kill 7 billion runners

[nimble canyon]

I was thinking about buying it. I was just struggling to justify buying it at the time. Edge of fate wasn't the best.

[indigo summit]

Unless they're rook then I'll kiss their foreheads

[nimble canyon]

I've been here since the closed test of destiny 2.

Lmao

[livid ledge]

If there’s someone in need shout or I’ll probably just end you.

[charred snow]

I'll try to be a good boi if I catch a rook or someone unaware

[versed swan]

Hello

[pearl acorn]

guys i have an og preorder bonus poster from destiny 1

[indigo summit]

I feel like Bungie flip flops on destiny quality wise

[void gull]

Warfream is rlly floaty yeah

[nimble canyon]

They do.

[pearl acorn]

but then my cat ripped the poster, rip

[uncut elk]

still the best FPS there is .. what are people moaning about .. tsk

[pearl acorn]

rip to the cat, i ate him afterwards

[indigo summit]

They'll release a really good one then a really bad one then a really good one ad infinitum

[pearl acorn]

the poster i fixed

[nimble canyon]

It's okay. More of them exist.

[regal zenith]

i’m moaning about your skin

[livid ledge]

You gotta be careful with your own teammates too

[void gull]

I have like 2k hours at this point and im still not good at the movement

[indigo summit]

Hai

[nimble canyon]

Also, she's a she v

[weary marlin]

looking back on my vault for the tech test i had such good loot that i never used

[indigo summit]

I tried out Warframe for a while and I couldn't get into it

[karmic sable]

While I do agree that Edge Of Fate as an update wasn’t the best(but its story was peak imo), Renegades do ALOT of good even without the story dlc

[livid ledge]

You pick up a legendary smg and they want it too. They can disband and take the loot

[uncut elk]

ah ok I thought it was about destiny 🙂

[indigo summit]

Bungie just has the best gunplay on the market imo

[gilded burrow]

thanks ive confirmed this, but i still cant find info about earning which is much more important

[nimble canyon]

I have over four thousand hours in Warframe And about 3,400 hours in destiny 2. And quite possibly 2,800 hours in destiny. 1

[fervent patrol]

marathoning all over the place

[indigo summit]

I love when games do that with battle passes so much

[pearl acorn]

dare i say bungie knows how to make abilities in games look fluid and functionally, and basically revolutionized perks in guns

[indigo summit]

I'm glad we seem to be moving in that direction

[nimble canyon]

I think I play video games too much

I'm still sad that destiny one never came to PC

But I've accepted that it will never

[indigo summit]

Yeah, I doubt there will be proper destiny exotic level insano weapons in Marathon but I'm excited for customizing them how I want

[livid ledge]

You pick up a legendary smg and they want it too. They can disband and take the loot

[uncut elk]

18k hours here ...

[karmic sable]

I just hope Shadow And Order does good for the game(even if it is probably delayed)

[nimble canyon]

Maybe I'll buy renegades when I get home.

[indigo summit]

I don't know if I've got more than 1000 hours in any single game

[nimble canyon]

Something to tide me over till Marathon I guess

[teal condor]

Personally my favorite expansion was Beyond Light. Best raid imo, I was a Sherpa for it too. It's my 10/10. With that scale I'd give Renegades 9/10. Rich story, great content tons to shoot and getting a long difficult journey to claim your light saber felt so good.

[pearl acorn]

try 2000 plus hours in ds3 pvp

[indigo summit]

The closest is probably Overwatch tbh but most of that was pre ow2

[nimble canyon]

You must be very good at dark souls. 3

Scary!

[indigo summit]

I'm just too hyper about playing games

[nimble canyon]

I'm very good at hyper focusing.

[indigo summit]

I'm abysmal at finishing anything single player

Especially if it's long

[nimble canyon]

The world around me just blurs out if I focus on something and I lose hours upon hours upon hours

[teal condor]

I prefer cinematic experiences. Otherwise I get bored instantly.

[indigo summit]

Not to say I dislike the games, I've loved the majority of them but I get distracted by smth else and then by the time I come back I've forgotten literally everything

[nimble canyon]

It's really good for finishing single player experiences. Or monotonous grinding.

[pearl acorn]

its funny cus bosses im okay but pvp i love just fighting ppl, and making the dumbest builds lol , the funnest builds was my glass cannon build with this giant bow, i would destroy ppl with it lol

[upper ledge]

[indigo summit]

Which is why I like multiplayer games

[nimble canyon]

Experimenting with some of the silly things can be some of the funnest things in games like that

[open remnant]

Build theorycrafting gonna be huge in Marathon

[nimble canyon]

Not a fan of meta slaves

Experiment have fun. Do your own thing

[indigo summit]

If I take a break from a single player game for a month imma come back and wonder wth is going on but if I stop playing an online game for a month I'll probably figure it out

[nimble canyon]

Don't restrict yourself to a really specific set of variables

[indigo summit]

Unless it's destiny in which case the whole game system is different and I get flashbanged with about 400 popups

[nimble canyon]

Including microtransactions and expansions

It's my least favorite thing about that game

[teal condor]

I like metas to counter meta.

[nimble canyon]

Or rather modern gaming as a whole

[indigo summit]

I think super high tier builds won't super come into play except for probably the marathon ship

[nimble canyon]

I'm glad valve said no in game advertising videos on their store n

[indigo summit]

Especially since you could just lose it

[pearl acorn]

literally, i use to do so much fight clubs in that game and have the most weird and unconventional builds that no one would excpect,

[open remnant]

I think in Marathon considering we've got a limited time to progress our faction rep per season it pays to focus on a specific build. Not having anything in mind just means you're more likely to end up with an ineffectual build compared to someone who beelines for what works well

Each season I'm planning on focusing on a different build each time

[indigo summit]

I mean I just remember that in an extraction shooter I dont own anything, I'm borrowing it until someone else kills me and now they're borrowing it 😊

[open remnant]

Each to their own though, people can play in whatever way they want

[sacred stream]

TOTAL MARATHON TAKEOVER

[nimble canyon]

It feels like Valve is one of the few companies that's holding back a deluge of shit.

[nimble canyon]

Keeping gen AI under control is just one of the ways they do that.

[sacred stream]

hey chat

[teal condor]

Yeah D2 is all over the place and there's so much stuff to collect now 💀, feels like how mobile games have that

[open remnant]

True, items are lost easily but faction rep is permanent until the season ends. With high faction rep you can buy legendary items. It can guarantee you have access to your ideal build at all times

[indigo summit]

It's mostly literally all of their competitors shooting themselves in the foot constantly for no goddamn reason

[nimble canyon]

Forced disclosures are required. And I'm glad valve does that

[nimble canyon]

It's hilarious to watch really

Valve changes very little about themselves and yet the competitors just repeatedly shoot themselves in the foot.

Essentially valve wins by doing nothing

[indigo summit]

Oh for sure

[sacred stream]

it also helps that theyre a private company

they dont need to appease to shareholders and whatnot

[nimble canyon]

Which is very good.

[sacred stream]

incredibly good

[indigo summit]

Until it's Tim Sweeney advocating grok creating you know what like a psycho

[open remnant]

More faction rep = faster recovery of best build

[nimble canyon]

Being your own publisher and being privately, owned is a much better way to do things.

[sacred stream]

kill tim sweeney for that im not even joking (i am joking)

[livid ledge]

Do missions as much as possible.

[indigo summit]

Yeah but I feel like for certain ideal builds there'll be pieces of it in each faction

[open remnant]

Low faction rep and if you die you feel it a lot more

[nimble canyon]

Tim Sweeney and Randy pitchfork are some of the worst people in the industry.

[sacred stream]

fr

[indigo summit]

Yeah they suck bad

[sacred stream]

and its mental to me how everyone ignores it

[open remnant]

True but the good stuff is further up the tech tree

[livid ledge]

Someone’s gotta take the bs.

[indigo summit]

I feel like I'm probably just gonna keep jumping between

[teal condor]

Will Marathon have a common place, like the tower in D2

[indigo summit]

I don't think so

[livid ledge]

Nope

[open remnant]

I think it'll be impossible to max out every faction rep before the season ends no matter how well you play. It pays to focus

[nimble canyon]

I'm not too sure about that considering runners aren't in a physical form until they're ready to deploy b

[livid ledge]

I bet it’ll happen

[teal condor]

Are you challenging me

[indigo summit]

I hope there'll be stuff to do on the menu while you queue up for a run

[open remnant]

I doubt it but maybe

[open remnant]

You got this! 😄

[indigo summit]

I know the codex exists if you wanna read lore and stuff but I hope there's more

[livid ledge]

You’d be surprised . lol

[nimble canyon]

One day I think we'll still get half-life 3

Or at least episode 3 equivalent.

They won't leave us hanging at the cliffhanger that was half-life Alyx

They just can't.

[indigo summit]

I love the way the lore is presented in the graffiti and ruins and stuff so much in this game too

Some of the quotes go so hard

[nimble canyon]

I really love that too. It really screams that something terrible happened here.

Using world building to tell a story without explicitly requiring characters to tell you the story themselves is such a good way of doing things. That's why I love the souls games.

[teal condor]

I already know the lore going to be crispy for Marathon, can't wait

[sacred stream]

its already crispy wit what theyre givin us

[open remnant]

My general plan is to unlock the biggest backpacks, large heal/shield packs in the shop asap then beeline for my desired build.

[indigo summit]

I've gotta find the specific quote from one of the graffiti I'm thinking of rq

[nimble canyon]

I mean if there's one thing Bungie excels at. It's honestly it's world building and lore

[livid ledge]

Suda19 and no more heroes 3.

[sacred stream]

my general plan is to do stealth runs. i loveeee stealthing

[nimble canyon]

Very good games

[livid ledge]

Let it die.

[livid ledge]

I heard 2 was shear shit..

[nimble canyon]

And a very crazy creator as well. Truly an auteur.

[open remnant]

Can we break NDA now?

[nimble canyon]

Yeah no more heroes two missed the mark in my opinion.

[indigo summit]

"Mad is the sword who severed tomorrow" is the quote, it goes so hard

[livid ledge]

I meant let it die 2

[nimble canyon]

My mistake.

I mixed up things

[livid ledge]

lol

[grave smelt]

Marathon is a sequel to Heroes of Might and Magic 5

[indigo summit]

The repeating graffiti that just says "Thank God it's you" too

[nimble canyon]

I've always wanted to get into the persona series but never been able to. Don't know if I should

[mortal sequoia]

Is the game out yet?

[open remnant]

Is that a yes? 😅

[indigo summit]

It's so cool and creepy at the same time

[sacred stream]

yea

[nimble canyon]

The 5th of March. You can pre-order now

[livid ledge]

March 5th

[grave smelt]

idk honestly

[sacred stream]

theyre all lying

its out RIGHT NOW

[indigo summit]

This game might have the highest density of hard lines in any game

[fervent patrol]

real

[open remnant]

It's just I've seen lots of people talking about stuff from the playtest so assumed it's ok

[indigo summit]

I mean they cooked with "Escape will make me god" so hard

[nimble canyon]

There is a few unskinned walking around in the channel

[indigo summit]

Skin

[mortal sequoia]

Is that something from skinwalker ranch?

[nimble canyon]

Arachne

[indigo summit]

There aren't many times a quote from a game has resonated with me so hard and marathon has done it twice it's crazy

[grave smelt]

I am pretty sure NDA lasts at least until the release

[indigo summit]

The other one I can think of is from Death Stranding

[open remnant]

I won't mention anything specific then just in case

[nimble canyon]

I still own a PlayStation 5 because of death stranding 2 tbh.

[indigo summit]

The explosion speech at the start of the first one is what I'm talking about

[rocky moat]

Game activation procedure completed 15%. Readiness procedure: Status confirmed. Preorder purchase initialization: Successfully completed.

[indigo summit]

"an explosion that will be our last" goes dummy

[covert plume]

hey are we going to be getting any kind of customization? not a fan of the predefined heroes

[livid ledge]

Issa bot

[charred snow]

Loadout is whatever you want. You can also customize your runner with cores and chips

[nimble canyon]

I love both of those games. I love what hideo kojima makes. I still miss metal gear as a series but I also miss Zone of the Enders

[indigo summit]

And now Marathon has both "Escape will make me God" and "Mad is the sword who severed tomorrow" it's so goddamn awesome

[nimble canyon]

So many people don't know about zone of the enders.

[covert plume]

appearance wise?

[teal condor]

How do we feel about the cosmetic system being shader-like?

[charred snow]

Just "normal" skins iirc

[nimble canyon]

Don't like the idea of it. Being able to identify what someone is at a glance is very important.

[unkempt parcel]

I really want to play his new game Knock

[teal condor]

It's important to be able to identify the hero instantly so I get it.

[charred snow]

Characters, weapons and stickers

[celest plover]

How do I join Arachne?

[nimble canyon]

That's why the skins won't deviate too far from the original designs.

[indigo summit]

I think it's fine, I don't super care about skin appearances in a first person game, plus they gotta try to keep the silhouettes consistent

[worn kelp]

they announce a open beta date, yet?

[covert plume]

i really want to like this game but the heroes are a dealbreaker i just cant 😔

[nimble canyon]

Someone has to pledge you by stealing your skin

[indigo summit]

Free weekend before launch, so probably end of Feb

[nimble canyon]

They aren't heroes. They are classes but I see where you're coming from.

[celest plover]

@nimble canyon that's wild lmao what?? 😂

[charred snow]

It's fine. You have your tastes. Maybe somewhere down along the line there'll be a game that does that.

[nimble canyon]

I'm looking forward to anything he makes. To be honest, he's a very unique creator.

[open remnant]

I was thinking about what I like about this game the most gameplay-wise and I think it's that what you see and hear is so much more important in this than in other games I've played. Every faint sound or tiny movement in the distance. It all feels real and gives a real sense of being somewhere else.

[bitter halo]

only available to play on 5th march even if we buy now right ?

[unkempt parcel]

Yes I love Kojima’s work

[nimble canyon]

Him and Yoko Taro. I want continuation of nier automata that isn't a raid in another game.

[indigo summit]

Yeah the tiny snippet of audio they showed in the Vidoc was incredible

[open remnant]

I know it sounds cheesy but it's genuinely the reason I'm excited to play it again

[teal condor]

However I know Bungie will find the middle ground to keep the silhouette while still changing enough to keep it interesting to buy cosmetics.
