[sacred agate]

I was gonna mention that one but didn’t know the name

[still field]

The big King Kong knock off character was so goated

[indigo summit]

Not really a robot more an AI but Rasputin from destiny

Still pissed they killed his ass

[blazing maple]

Rasputin's cool

[still field]

BROOOOO

[indigo summit]

I loved him

[blazing maple]

good on Ana showing him classical music

[open remnant]

AC6 story was epic

[indigo summit]

Bungie loves making AI characters

[frank crest]

the one thing i always slander ac6 for is how anticlimactic nightfall was

dude was doing allat aura farming for nothing

[still field]

I farmed the big orb boss for DAYS to get a super rare warlock helmet during a Rasputin mission before he was actually in the game. It had blue lightning on the helm and was a super rare mission only drop

[open remnant]

Yeah I kinda feel that too, I want a sequel that delves into it more

[sacred agate]

They know their Sci fi I’m sure

[blazing maple]

I mean, it started with Marathon's on-ship ais

[still field]

Felt like the mission specific rare cosmetic drops were easily the coolest cosmetics in Destiny 1 and 2

[blazing maple]

and plus the degradation logic is really good concept

[still field]

There was a super cool arms cosmetic from the twin bosses too

[indigo summit]

IG-88, the robot bounty hunters in Star wars

[bronze dome]

Good regular sized robot

[frank crest]

“let’s see how far they can fly… on borrowed wings” 🗣️🔥

[bronze dome]

Chappy and his rival Moose

Chappie

[blazing maple]

OH I forgot to mention!

[indigo summit]

Pathfinder and Revenant in apex are both awesome

[still field]

What about noisy boy from real steal

*steel

[blazing maple]

The Orbital Frames from Zone of the Enders!

[still field]

Did him so dirty. Was such a cool design

[frank crest]

revenant is goated

[bronze dome]

K2so had a good hallway moment recently

[blazing maple]

Jehuty and Anubis are so cool

personal favorite mech designs

[sacred agate]

I like Zeus from real steel

[indigo summit]

I love giant robots!!!!

[bronze dome]

Gerty from moon

Jailbot and the interstellar one

[blazing maple]

TARS

[bronze dome]

Yea

[warm tusk]

So is equipment in marathon mostly bought vs being crafted?

[indigo summit]

Bought or found yeah

[bronze dome]

Broombot 🌸

[still field]

Jehuty is bad ass

[indigo summit]

I don't think there's an arc style crafting system

[warm tusk]

Oh thank god

[indigo summit]

But there are materials that you spend on faction upgrades

[blazing maple]

but out of the 2 main OFs in Zone of the Enders

[indigo summit]

Which are important

[blazing maple]

Anubis is my favorite

[warm tusk]

That's awesome, the crafting is cool for a while but gets so so tedious

[still field]

Lelouch from code geass mech is very Anubis

[blazing maple]

another mech I love from that series is Vic Viper

[indigo summit]

Yeah I think having materials for the one time upgrades makes sense but a full crafting system is kinda annoying imo, at least in a game like this

[blazing maple]

it's not even an Orbital Frame and it can go toe-to-toe with JEHUTY

[still field]

Pretty sweet tbh

Jehuty just looks so good

[blazing maple]

Naked Jehuty is cool too

[grave smelt]

in Arc it is mostly tedious because of bad UI experience. The necessity to navigate so many menus that are not really well thought through is what makes it painful. Considering how essential crafting in Arc is they really should think on automating it and streamlining menu navigation

[still field]

Even worse on console

[grave smelt]

yeah, I bet

[blazing maple]

That's their term for the stronger form of jehuty btw

[warm tusk]

Streamlined loadout crafting would go a huge way into making it less tedious true but even then sometimes you're just out of some random material while having loads of others

[grave smelt]

yeah I understand

[sacred agate]

The crafting system in Arc was wonky, and it was so stupid you couldn’t recycle mid match, would’ve been able to manage backpack more efficiently

[warm tusk]

Like ah yes here I go begging for fabric again

[sacred agate]

Normally all I needed was the base recycled version of stuff

[still field]

Also the tagging option for the specific items you wanted could be much more optimized in arc

[grave smelt]

yeah

[still field]

If I tag “wires” they should ping things I can recycle into wires also. Not just wires lmao

[warm tusk]

I'm constantly out of rubber and fabric, sure do have all the purple stuff in the world though

[still field]

And it shouldn’t auto unping everytime I find ONE

[grave smelt]

I guess that's the price of the game releasing smoothly and without delays

[still field]

TRUE

[sacred agate]

Hippie marathon skins

[still field]

I’m assuming “skins” will be more like shaders from Destiny. But who knows

[frank crest]

how much players you guys think release date will have?

[warped sigil]

i want 100k peak

[grave smelt]

I dont expect it will blow up the way arc did

[still field]

TO THE MOONNNN

[sacred agate]

We’ve already seen ones that change the runners look w their attire, like the black glitch skin

[still field]

Oh, I must’ve missed that

[warped sigil]

you never know tbh

[frank crest]

that would be great but im expecting around 50k

[warped sigil]

peak? or avg?

[warm tusk]

I wouldn't be surprised if arcs popularity actually really helps marathon out too, id bet 200-250k

[grave smelt]

well, yes, but I don't see any reason for that happening

[still field]

As long as we can still tell shells apart I like that

[sacred agate]

Also the new deluxe bundle gives glitch another skin that changes what she wears on her head

[frank crest]

average, peak id assume 80k

[grave smelt]

100k ish seems reasonable

[warped sigil]

no one expected arc to be this big too.

[blazing maple]

I have a hope one runner gets a skin based on the security officer from the original trilogy

[sacred agate]

Yeah I’m wondering if it will become a little difficult w some skins eventually, but I feel like they’ll find a way to keep that aspect

[still field]

Very good point. Lot more people are fans of the genre now because of arc. People are itching for an accessible fps one now

[grave smelt]

uhhh everyone did? its Embark

[pearl acorn]

destroyer is based off the security offcier abit

[blazing maple]

either as it's original look or a more modern look

[pearl acorn]

prolly more modern rendition

[still field]

Calier is a lore god of so many niche franchises

[warped sigil]

nahhh even devs did not expect this big of a number

[frank crest]

dayum that would be amazing

[blazing maple]

I just like alot of thing

[grave smelt]

yet there were no server issued during launch. Meaning devs actually expected that and had appropriate server capacity prepared

[frank crest]

honestly just hoping there won’t be too much insane micro transactions

[pearl acorn]

it prolly will, i read alot about arc and see one major complaint about arc is no end game or wipes, so the far future for arc might feel a little stale.

[warm tusk]

Arc also took a little bit to actually hit it's peak which might have helped

[still field]

Think they said it would be done basically like helldivers so that’s good

Helldivers has an amazing shop system

[grave smelt]

thats true, but it still started at like 200k

[frank crest]

oh that would be amazing i love how helldivers handles micro transactions

[sacred agate]

At least it should only be optional micro transactions instead of paid dlc

[warped sigil]

hahah brother i know the head of infrastructure at embark. He said they did not expect this. servers had issues during launch with ALOT of desync

[blazing maple]

the only real niche thing I know is probably maybe like West of Dead or something like that

[still field]

Yeah, they said you won’t be locked out of previous passes or shops like helldivers

I’m going to spend a lot of money on cosmetics I can feel it lol. Gonna put a lot of time into this game so it’s worth

[blazing maple]

glad to see more devs allowing players to go back to previous passes

[sacred agate]

And the Finals

[warm tusk]

Yeah arc feels kind of stuck in that it's hard to make good challenging PvE without just being frustrating and honestly I never see the PvP being THAT good, 3rd person plus high damage weapons isn't much fun

[blazing maple]

idk who it was that actually did it first

[wary sierra]

Marathon

[grave smelt]

well, I know the head of the head of infrastructure. He said that they expected it.

Servers had miniscule issues which are completely non-existent in relation to other major hit releases where you have to stay in a queue for an hour and then everything will just work occasionally with constant disconnects. I don't remember any desyncs, I was playing the game during launch

[dense elbow]

Arc feels fluid, marathon feels really heavy in the movement

I like both btw

[sacred agate]

For me the gunplay just isn’t satisfying, not a fan of the guns or how they feel

[wary sierra]

It will feel better with better implants

[grave smelt]

I am also not a fan of 3rd person in PvP

[still field]

Fluid is not the word that comes to mind when I play arc

[warm tusk]

I mean the movement isn't bad per say just limited by design

[warped sigil]

ok sorry for stating facts

[still field]

Feels like I’m a 70 year old man dragging a 50 pound noodle around

[sacred agate]

Other than the slide (butterr) arc doesn’t feel that fluid

[warm tusk]

I have not tried marathon at all

[grave smelt]

"I know a guy" is not a fact. It is a hearsay with 2 layers of personal bias

[blazing maple]

first thought was 343i with the Master Chief Collection's Series/Season system

[scenic arrow]

will i be able to get the preorder bonus after the free trial? id like to try the game before i buy it

[wary sierra]

You can in the end of February

[rough sail]

freed from my one hour mute

[sacred agate]

Sweet

[dense elbow]

True

[wary sierra]

Tuff pic

[sacred agate]

Yeah

[dense elbow]

Latest play test felt alot better than the first one I played

[warm tusk]

Oh sweet, free weekend sorta thing then?

[wary sierra]

Yeah it’s a night and day difference

[wary sierra]

Yes

[still field]

Someone else asked this earlier today. I forgot the consensus though so. I’d assume yes though

[scenic arrow]

nice bio

[grave smelt]

I think Arc is fluid in some capacity. Sure there is character inertia and slow animations but it def could be worse. Idk I think Marathon is more fluid, maybe I am misremembering it, didn't really pay attention to movement

[sacred agate]

And they haven’t said anything about extended early access for preorder players, although I hope they do

[still field]

Literally had to go check and see what it said lmao

[blazing maple]

my bio is just a lil generic tbh

[grave smelt]

it says your real name is Robert Warcriminal

[still field]

Holy shit, an Elden ring boss popped on my screen when I clicked your profile

[wary sierra]

Early game in marathon it feels really slow but with the good implants you don’t really need to worry about heat

[grave smelt]

yeah, I guess I forgot about how early game felt

[blazing maple]

ah yeah, my profile decoration is from the zodiac collection

cancer's my zodiac sign

[wary sierra]

It also depends on character

I’ve only really played vandal/glitch

[dense elbow]

True, I’m excited for this game solely because I’ll have two different types of extraction shooters to play

[grave smelt]

I see

[frank crest]

speaking of the matter, which runner shells are you guys gonna be using?

[still field]

Will implants be lost on death? Might be a dumb question but I haven’t done research on the implant system

[blazing maple]

Thief bc I liked how her gameplay looked and how her design was described

[sacred agate]

I’m gonna play thief and try Locus more, rarely played him, I’m thinking of using him if I wanna use WSRT shotgun on Outpost

[frank crest]

the thief drone looks so fun to use

[dense elbow]

Yes

[grave smelt]

I'll translate

"I really like her toes"

[still field]

Definitely trying Destroyer first. That forward boost is so nasty for flanking and throwing off enemy teams

[blazing maple]

like iirc thief was inspired by Ghost in the Shell

[rough sail]

"im gonna play thief!" - 🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑

[grave smelt]

GitS is goated

[frank crest]

calier is so based holy

[wary sierra]

Yeah you lose everything when you die, hope this helps

[still field]

THATS WHAT IM SAYING

[warm tusk]

I usually go for the tank so I guess the destroyer is the closest thing

[still field]

I’ve already lost everything

[grave smelt]

too bad @scenic meteor considers GitS I quote "poop garbage cartoon"

[wary sierra]

But factions give you passive upgrades through out the season

[blazing maple]

GitS is one of my favorite franchises

[sacred agate]

Yeah thief looks a lot like ghost in the shell, I’ve seen marathon inspired art from one of the artists w a robotic face opening like in ghost in the shell

[tight ether]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HtuwIHp2WI&t=2485s

[charred snow]

ya probably got baited because that's a crazy take

[wary sierra]

Which and give you move vault space, better heat capacity faster looting speed, better trades etc

[grave smelt]

naah, I just made it up. I don't think he even knows it exists

[wintry bough]

I'm not entirely sure which faction suits my interest most. Which of these are factions and which are corporations disguised as factions?

[still field]

Yeah, I figured this. Glad they’re making implants work like regular loot

[blazing maple]

oh yeah, on that robot discussion, I wanted to mention SP//DR from the spiderman comics

[still field]

Wasn’t sure if they’d be treated like the passives or the loot

[sacred agate]

Most are corps, Mida is a revolutionary group, Arachne is basically a cult

[frank crest]

nu caloric all the way brother

but uh someone just explained them in lore i think

[still field]

Hulk buster is also awesome if that counts

Oh shit, mechamaru too

From jjk

[spice bough]

come on in to our humble mpreg abode mida

[frank crest]

mah man

[grave smelt]

Arachne values families and kindness to each other

[still field]

🫃

[blazing maple]

there's slight bias there as Peni is one of my mains in Marvel Rivals

[median wren]

skin your family

[grave smelt]

I will be kind enough to save their skins for my children

[tight ether]

Arachne
skin salad

for two please

[still field]

There are 3 things guaranteed in life. Death, taxes and getting the 🫃 emoji in this chat when mpreg is mentioned

[wintry bough]

So I was correct in thinking that realignment with MIDA was the right move. Good.

[tight ether]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HtuwIHp2WI&t=2485s

[blazing maple]

ye

[grave smelt]

mpreg and mida are file formats

[charred snow]

Is mpreg a new video format container?

LMAO

[blazing maple]

My god

[tight ether]

mpreg this man

[grave smelt]

I was mpregged by three people

[sacred agate]

Mida should be pinkish lavender

[charred snow]

Did you just assume my gestation status?

[frank crest]

mods, draw him as mpreg

[blazing maple]

nah, the green is good for mida

[still field]

Jarvis, Increase thigh thickness by 30%

[sacred agate]

It is pinkish tho

Just not here

[frank crest]

jarvis, jork it a little

[grave smelt]

hell yeah

[tight ether]

double mpreg'd

[grave smelt]

Jarvis? Add more feet

[wintry bough]

Been having a lot of fun with the Multi-Tool lately. Not my most used exotic, that's for sure.

[charred snow]

Jarvis, turn him into boykisser.

[still field]

More like silent hill F uckin jorkin it

[rough sail]

man why did i walk into freakathon

[sacred agate]

I think Mida should be deep purple like we saw in the preview trailer tho

Should’ve got silent hill 3 instead

[still field]

Underrated exotic is the villigence. May have misspelled, I haven’t played for a long time. It’s the 5 round burst that makes you stronger when you’re last on your team. Insane for PvP

[tight ether]

jarvis empty that guy's vault

[sacred agate]

Hacker runner when

[frank crest]

Jarvis, steal from his safe pocket

[wintry bough]

NOO MY VAULT!
I needed that...

[grave smelt]

vault balls

[tight ether]

1,235,189k c recieved

[wintry bough]

Seems a bit wasted on me 😅 I'm always first dead it feels like

[charred snow]

Jarvis, steal that guy's SLK

[tight ether]

WAIT NOT THAT C BALLS

[broken forum]

jarvis, skin and eat that guy alive

[still field]

It’s very good just for the 5 round burst also though lol

You can one tap heads if you land 3-4 bullets

[wary sierra]

https://tenor.com/view/marathon-bungie-dac-runner-gif-6011190738981059482

[still field]

It’s called vigilance wing @wintry bough

[wary sierra]

:(

[grave smelt]

you can one tap bosses in Destiny 2 by landing 3-4 thousands of bullets

[still field]

Crota wants a word

[wintry bough]

Yes I know which gun. Think I've used it maybe once. A long time ago though.

[still field]

They got rid of my beloved red death from Destiny 1

Was incredibly op. Basically a pulse rifle with life steal

[wintry bough]

Red death reformed exists. Dunno how long it's been since you've played though.

[still field]

No way??? Is it still insane

Bad juju was brought back but heavily nerfed

[wintry bough]

Haven't used it much. I'm not too big on the auto rifle exotics.

[still field]

I gotcha

[blazing maple]

been using it bc of the new ornament

[still field]

I did like the laser one with negative recoil. It was white and blue

[blazing maple]

the old red death is just Crimson now

a Hand Cannon

[still field]

Think you could change the element also

[wintry bough]

I wanna say wavesplitter??

No, you might mean hard light.

[still field]

Ohhhh, I used this. Yeah, it’s not the same

[still field]

Yes. Hard light

I had completely different favorite for PvP and PVE though

[blazing maple]

there's other weapons that can do its gimmick now

Borealis and Dead Messenger

[still field]

If any of yall still play I have lots of god rolls.

[lusty spoke]

just completed the original marathon game

[still field]

Hard light I didn’t really care about the element. Loved the no recoil

[frank crest]

what map are you guys most excited to play?

[lusty spoke]

was fun, Durandal is a little bastard

[blazing maple]

Element switching is a cool idea

[wintry bough]

Borealis just felt like a sniper with an omolon gimmick. I didn't see much of a point to it. They might've buffed it though

[still field]

The usec building one

[blazing maple]

I love his sass in 1

[wintry bough]

All of them.

[lusty spoke]

i did like the one time Tycho showed up
"I AM TYCHO

I shall destroy Durandal."

[frank crest]

mine would probably be the endgame one, the aesthetic of it is awesome

[still field]

Going to have different load outs for all of them

[blazing maple]

"Bc I got a shotgun, and you ain't got one P.S. If nothing around here works, I'm busy laughing my ass off"

[wintry bough]

Maybe Cryo archive.

[wide heath]

Used to be nuts

[still field]

It was SO good. Crimson just didn’t feel the same

[wide heath]

Now it’s outclassed by other pulses

[blazing maple]

I mean, Tycho has a reason

[still field]

Can’t remember what my last load out was

[lusty spoke]

its just when i read that i imagined if he could he would be doing a hero pose in that moment

[wintry bough]

Ngl. I hope they have a way to remove the HUD. It would do wonders for immersion

It's a bit basic but it could be an interesting mode

[lusty spoke]

yea durandal was pretty evil

idk if that changes in marathon 2 and infinity as i haven't played those yet

[wintry bough]

The Martlet is the current crucible problem child

[blazing maple]

Nah, Durandal is just a jerk

[lusty spoke]

i see

[blazing maple]

Morally dubious at best

[wide heath]

I hate dad rifles

[lusty spoke]

still fun as a character

[wintry bough]

I'm not old enough to know how the old games functioned. Before my time, as it were.

[blazing maple]

90's FPS

[hard hound]

Do you guys feel like Marathon icon feels weird

[blazing maple]

figure out the rest

[wintry bough]

Durandal sounds like an interesting character though.

[proper yoke]

it's a lollipop

[blazing maple]

first FPS around that period to have Y-Axis aiming

even if it's a lil limited

[hard hound]

Idk it looks like Buddhist culture

[wintry bough]

Yeah, doom and doom 2 were an interesting play. It feels weird to play games that are older than you yet seem far ahead of their time.

[blazing maple]

I'm used to it

[jovial summit]

Are you guys pre-ordering the Standard edition or Deluxe??

[blazing maple]

I've been playing these games for years

[timid basin]

deluxe

[wintry bough]

Standard for now.

[proper yoke]

not really familiar with it so i can't relate

[lusty spoke]

i got standard

[proper yoke]

my collectors edition arrives today

[timid basin]

how yall get the decoration?

[lusty spoke]

i got enough in steam money for christmas that i was just able to get the standard version

[timid basin]

how much was it

[proper yoke]

it was a limited time thing back in the day

[blazing maple]

first playtest

iirc

[wintry bough]

You best believe I'm gonna be rocking those Marathon items in destiny though. Mida looks amazing with the new ornament.

[timid basin]

i knew marathon and wanted it since its annoucement but i didnt think to join discord💔

[proper yoke]

$230

[hard hound]

Well it made me think of this “chinese buddhist staff” google this to see the pic

[blazing maple]

I'm already using the Destination: Tau Ceti emblem on my hunter

[open remnant]

Well you have now, welcome 😁

[proper yoke]

not gonna lie i dont see it 😭

[wintry bough]

Haven't pre ordered yet but definitely going to soon.

[timid basin]

thanks 💔

[blazing maple]

that emblem is from the Bungie talk stream

from last year

[timid basin]

does deluxe preorder give even more preorder rewards?

[wintry bough]

Ah, so I'm far too late, huh?

[blazing maple]

yeah

you can still get the CyberAcme emblem tho

[wintry bough]

Sad

[blazing maple]

from the ARG

[wintry bough]

Where do I find that?

[blazing maple]

the code for the emblem is easy to find

[timid basin]

also whats this server overall about? i didnt think to join earlier since the game wasnt out and i have no idea how to get applied for playtests in any game

[blazing maple]

it's M:/Start for the name

[hard hound]

What’s the contract answer in # Leaderboard channel?

[blazing maple]

the official community server for the game

[timid basin]

and can someone explain the roles cuz im not familiar with that

[blazing maple]

it's the factions ingame

[timid basin]

idk them thi cuz i didnt play playtest and the game was just sitting in my wishlist

[proper yoke]

i don't think it gives you anything extra that's preorder exclusive

[hard hound]

Just pick the color you like, it really doesn’t matter. You can switch anytime after game launches

[robust lintel]

[timid basin]

alriight

[blazing maple]

I mean, MIDA and UESC are major tidbits in the original trilogy and are referenced in Destiny a couple times

MIDA especially

[timid basin]

are there any images with what im getting with deluxe? i bought it immediately when released didnt really look

[proper yoke]

before playtests became public knowledge there was an arg here, and then it was mostly just used for playtests, and to give people under NDA a place to talk

[blazing maple]

there's a blog on Bungie.Net talking about it

it also shows the preorder bonus for the destiny 2 side

[timid basin]

ima check it out when im back from my work courses

[timid basin]

i dont play destiny and never did

[unborn badger]

pre-april alpha ARG led us finding this server and it became this ever since, faction roles are mostly for fun and rp

[blazing maple]

it's there if you wanna check it out anytime

[unborn badger]

could do a quick rundown of every faction for you too in #📚marathon-lore-discussion

the whole arachne thing was mad fun last week lol

[blazing maple]

but yeah the roles are for repping

[timid basin]

sure but i cant really read much im in classes

[unborn badger]

will make it quick

[timid basin]

tag me ill read when i can alright?

[unborn badger]

aight

[blazing maple]

Chose MIDA bc love revolutionary groups

[unborn badger]

ykw fuck it imma just type it here since it's short lol

[blazing maple]

and love their style in the material shown so far

[wintry bough]

I just realized, if MIDA was in the original games, why continue it through destiny? Was it in Halo at one point too? And why are they so important?

[proper yoke]

when you typing about something and lowkey realize its NDA'd 🥹

goodnight chat

[blazing maple]

MIDA in destiny was just that the Multi-tool was sent from Marathon's universe

[timid basin]

whats nda💔

[blazing maple]

they don't explain how or why beyond that

[rapid yew]

https://tenor.com/view/bungie-marathon-new-marathon-nu-marathon-bungie-marathon-gif-2701323247976763654

[blazing maple]

Multi-tool's tab talks about how it got here

Mini-tool talks about Bernard Strauss

[wintry bough]

Non Disclosure Agreement I believe

[timid basin]

thanks (i still have no idea what that is)

[cold stump]

not allowed to talk about something or else you die instantly

[blazing maple]

if it's under NDA, they can't talk about it

like classified info

[timid basin]

but how do they know if u cant talk about it

[cold stump]

we signed it

[blazing maple]

insider info basically

[jovial summit]

How much was that one?

[karmic sable]

A legal binding document that without the permission of the company they signed for, the person who signed cannot disclose information about specific things they specified

[cold stump]

or like agreed to it

[timid basin]

ooohhh i get it now

like tom holland leaked the thingy (i dont watch marvel)

[blazing maple]

MIDA like in NuMarathon, was a revolutionary group or political power on Mars

[wintry bough]

So It got here via golden age shenanigans? Interesting take.

[blazing maple]

and they don't want UESC or Corpos talking control of the Tau Ceti colony like the UESC did with Mars

[timid basin]

doesn anyone have pics of all the shells (or whatever characters are called)

[wintry bough]

Sounds like something I can get behind

[timid basin]

im hyped for the game but all i saw was trailers

[blazing maple]

there's a video on them by Bungie

[timid basin]

dk the lore

[timid basin]

csn i get a link

[blazing maple]

you can look it up

[unborn badger]

UESC: united earth space council (think world government), led the failed tau ceti expedition

Traxus: big corpo (like big, biggest ever, long arms and deep pockets), helped UESC buy deimos off mars to make the marathon ship to colonize tau ceti

NuCaloric: food corp, heavily invested in the tau ceti expedition

Sekiguchi Genetics: medical and prosthetics corp, responsible for biomata shells that we pilot, also invested in the expedition

CyberAcme: think microsoftbut monopoly, runs basically every system ever, also backed the expedition

MIDA: mars rebel group pissed with how the UESC treated them (original trilogy shenanigans + getting robbed one of their moons)

Arachne: death cult, [EXPUNGED]

us: mercs, we gave up our bodies to inhabit sekgen shells and get sent to tau ceti under corpo (+ other paying groups') contracts to scavenge losses from the dead colony
-# UESC signed a treaty with the corpos to not engage with each other's units but it didn't included hired mercenaries, that's us

[tawny sonnet]

anyone know when the next playtest or beta is and how i would play it>

?*

[blazing maple]

also the Misriah shotgun in Marathon is named after the Misriah Massacre as a commeration piece

also Misriah Armory is the same origin, it's a reference to that event

[wintry bough]

MIDA sounds partially similar to Armored Core 6 and it's Rubicon Liberation Front.

[blazing maple]

Misriah is one of the manufacturers of most of the UNSC guns in Halo

MIDA is basically the RLF yeah

[unborn badger]

kinda that yeah

if you want extra lore this MIDA's not the original, old mida ran a fash gov and died off within 3 months when the UESC struck back and everybody that lived went into hiding

[blazing maple]

we know hardly anything on MIDA

[unborn badger]

oh we know a lot

[wintry bough]

Why do I like rebel groups so much

[sonic swan]

there will be a preview weekend that’s open to everyone with an undisclosed date

i’m guessing mid february

[unborn badger]

bernard strauss is a UESC spy for MIDA from the original trilogy that snuck the 10 borgs (1 of them being us the security officer) and durandal onto the marathon knowing the AI would go rampant

[blazing maple]

well, what the acronym stands for

[tawny sonnet]

ty

[blazing maple]

the ARG loves to play with the acronym

[wintry bough]

I hope so. I'm already on the edge of my seat and just about to fall off with the amount of anticipation I have

[blazing maple]

Shaxx makes a jokey one in the lore tab of Multi-tool

"Mars Is Damnably Arid"

[wintry bough]

Ah that's actually kinda funny

[unborn badger]

not so much a joke when the UESC decided to just drop CRIST maintenances and starved the mars people 😭

CRIST crafts are supply shuttles from earth to mars and there's only 5 of them

slow and extremely high-maintenance

[blazing maple]

they look kinda like potatoes

[unborn badger]

so yeah mars is damnably arid

[sonic swan]

it’s just around the corner

[wintry bough]

With how the multi tool functions in destiny, will the feel be the same?

[unborn badger]

likely just a gun but feel free to imagine how it turns into a trench digger and stellar sextant

[wintry bough]

I can sort of gather what the first one means... What's the second supposed to mean though?

[blazing maple]

I was talking to a friend on Durandal in regards to Marathon Lore, and said "just think of the butter bot from rick and morty and have that control an entire colony ship"

and it's only control was the doors

[unborn badger]

strauss convinced the UESC to put it on board for simple door controls yeah

likely knowing it'd go rampant too

and then m2 and m.inf happened

[wintry bough]

Already sounds like a nightmare

[blazing maple]

i'd go into the 3 stages of rampancy from that too

[unborn badger]

now it pops around earth to tell us how much of a shitty species we are every few centuries 💀

[wintry bough]

I agree honestly

[blazing maple]

the 3 stages are "Melancholia, Anger and Jealousy"

which Cortana does reference in Halo 3 during one of the slow down moments in the level of the same name

[unborn badger]

depressed from knowing its limits, anger to motivate a limit break, actively finds challenges to overcome after

[blazing maple]

"There will be no more Sadness, no more Anger, no more Envy!"

[wintry bough]

I can't remember any of halo 3 anymore. I barely remember Reach. That was so long ago...

Not even 20 and feel like I'm getting old

[blazing maple]

I can clearly remember 3 and reach

and I'm close to 20

FYM THE THIRD MISSION OF THIS GAME REQUIRES ME TO LAND A HELICOPTER ON A MOVING BOAT

I'm not built for this

[rough sail]

skill issue

[worn knoll]

there's not a helicopter tutorial

I have to learn how to fly a helicopter, evade and fight with it

[rough sail]

in war, there are no tutorials. think about that

[worn knoll]

and then land it on a moving vehicle

in the same mission

no saves between

[unborn badger]

numpad?

[rough sail]

this game looks cool as hell

(the plane game)

[unborn badger]

usually smth complimentary with wasd lol

or arrows

[wintry bough]

So does marathon tbf

[rough sail]

nah marathon looks kinda woke

[unborn badger]

marathon's so woke...

[rough sail]

i wonder if there was any outrage over the vidoc having pronouns under the ppls names

[blazing maple]

if it was asleep, then why would we be here

[worn knoll]

tons

rants about how they must all be actual real demons

[blazing maple]

that's a bad joke i'm sorry

[rough sail]

never wouldve guessed lmao

[timid basin]

will there be something like lfg or lfp here? like before the playtest to have someone already

[unborn badger]

these people see pronouns and go feral lol

[worn knoll]

it rly is this is awesome but jesus christ this will take like 50 tries I don't know how to land this thing NORMALLY

[rough sail]

have you perhaps considered locking in

[blazing maple]

why are people getting mad at pronouns when we use them everyday?

[wintry bough]

Ikr, God forbid I be called what I want

[rough sail]

bc ppl are stupid and need things to whine about

[steel ledge]

Because people are stupid

[worn knoll]

it's actually mentally ill they'll see a joke about putting pronouns on everything being annoying (he-man thing that was revealed) and get so mad that they saw pronouns that they freak out anyway even though it's in their favor

[unborn badger]

isn't "you" a pronoun too like

lemme say your full name everytime we talk

[blazing maple]

I mean, He-Man is a character from the 80's and people didn't mind it

[worn knoll]

Maybe if I could lock ON to all these SAM SITES FAST ENOUGH I'd be ALIVE long enough to lock IN

[unborn badger]

hello labubu fitzgerald jenkins how is labubu fitzgerald jenkins doing today

[worn knoll]

this thing doesn't have a jammer

if one locks on

I just have to duck behind a hill

and pray

[rough sail]

just dont get hit oomf

you got this easy

[worn knoll]

they hop the hills sometimes

i don't know how

that's not how radar works

[rough sail]

i need to finish project wingman

vtol vr is probably fuckin insane

[worn knoll]

it is

everything's physical

everything

[rough sail]

holyyy

[worn knoll]

it's so crazy to keep up with

there's no hotkeys nothin' you learn how to navigate your cockpit or you die

honestly people say that this game

(Nuclear Option for those just tuning in)

is basically VTOL but flatscreen

and i see it

arcadey in the combat

but granular in the controls and mechanics

[rough sail]

makes me think of steel batallion for some reason

[worn knoll]

and both near-future not-real tech

[rough sail]

gonna watch some gameplay of vtol

[worn knoll]

though this has bigger-scale all-out combat

or there wouldn't be much reason to use

the Nuclear Option

https://tenor.com/view/csi-yeah-david-caruso-csi-miami-gif-21597107

[rough sail]

do u have nukes

[worn knoll]

yes hence the name

when the fighting gets intense enough

[rough sail]

peam...

[worn knoll]

command says "ok nukes are clear" and you can buy nukes for your upcoming loadouts

[rough sail]

lmao

[worn knoll]

there's nukes of all varieties too

[wintry bough]

I wouldn't call it a game, especially for how unsettling it is... Remember Defcon?

[worn knoll]

normal drop n bomb, parachutes, orbital nukes that fly up to space and come down swingin'

[worn knoll]

Yeah! A lot of people assume this is a defcon type nuclear war non-game bc of the title actually, so it's fresh on the mind. I had kinda forgot until it was mentioned in a video I was watching on this

very interesting little project that

haunting experience tbh, love a game that simulates reality by just putting real players in the situations that create reality

[wintry bough]

Equally as disturbing too

[rough sail]

earlier at the store i saw a cybertruck with a pride flag on it, pick a side bruh

[worn knoll]

??? wonder what that person is like to talk to

genuinely thinks a cybertruck is a good investment, not for political reasons

[rough sail]

yeah very strange lol

[wintry bough]

It explains the horrifying reality of how much power we have that could backfire spectacularly

[cold stump]

destiny 2

[rough sail]

what about it oomf

[worn knoll]

I assume you mean defcon and not the pride flag cybertruck

[cold stump]

im not oomf

[worn knoll]

because that is equally disturbing

[wintry bough]

Yes of course lol

[rough sail]

my bad twin whats up

🙏

damn vtol vr doesnt have collision between planes

[worn knoll]

what??? I would've sworn...

I guess I've never crashed into another plane in it

[rough sail]

this video is 9 months old so idk if you played it more recently and it had it

[worn knoll]

nah I last was in one of those cockpits in 2024 I think

crazy

[rough sail]

oh this game is old as fuck lmao

[worn knoll]

guess i just never noticed

[worn knoll]

a VR classic

there were still oculus wired headsets when it came out

[rough sail]

2017 being almost ten years ago is a scary thought

[worn knoll]

terrifying

[rough sail]

i cannot wait for the steam frame

[spare ledge]

wsg sexys has there been any updates abt the game since the release date and versions announcements?

[rough sail]

no friend but open beta weekend probably near the games launch

[worn knoll]

I think they posted another clip short somewhere

fighting some grenadiers in a storm I think

but otherwise nope

[rough sail]

oh yeah shorts occasionally too

[spare ledge]

ye ik weekend before launch

[spare ledge]

yup been marathoning it to those all night

shi is too gas

[rough sail]

It is 2 degrees where I'm at

Goddamn

[wintry bough]

2020 feels both like an eternity ago, and less than a year ago.

[blazing maple]

that's me with 2019

[rough sail]

For real. The PS5 is almost 6 years old, the next generation of consoles is coming up, but how?

PS5 feels like it just came out

[blazing maple]

I still haven't upgraded!

[wintry bough]

Still have my PS5 from Christmas 2020

[blazing maple]

I still have my xbox one s

[spare ledge]

ong switched countries, changed 2 jobs, got back to mine, got back in uni, and it feels like yesterday

[rough sail]

For me I feel like the last 3-4 years have been empty space, didn't really do much of anything, which is why it feels like they flew by

[worn knoll]

they haven't told me anything about my weapons I've got 4 missiles that aren't fire and forget, don't have ir guidance, they don't respond to target lock-ons in anyway, they seem to just be straight up regular missiles. But I only have 4. While I have 64 IR guided missiles of the same payload rating. So what are the 4 missiles for. Just a backup???? when will those ever be useful I can barely angle myself to fly in a straight line let alone to aim those things. there has to be something else to them. I don't know what menu to go in to find out what it is.

[crimson helm]

Marathon gives me that feeling when you know that the game is going to be good but people will not appreciate it.

[rough sail]

If it turns out good I think more people will be willing to pick it up

[wintry bough]

Much of the loud minority in the destiny community already hates it for some reason. Don't get me wrong, Bungie's Rep isn't the best, but c'mon man, they made halo and destiny is still going.

[rough sail]

Bungie has a bit of a stigma is all

[wintry bough]

More like a curse honestly...

[worn knoll]

I was a hermit for nearly 5 years and now you could tell me any of the events of the past everything since march of 2020 and put a date on it and I'd believe you. I have no idea when anything happened.

time is not like a thing to me anymore

[rough sail]

pondering over it for too long always freaks me out a bit

[wintry bough]

I don't think anything spacey wavey or timey wimey happened to cause time Dilation, but I guess we wouldn't notice it this fast anyway.

[worn knoll]

Five months from now and two days ago feel comparable, because everything is just. time. it's not. there's not measures to me anymore. I can't place the exact day for half of the events of a week that weren't immediately important. I've learned to just ignore time entirely somehow.

[twilit sparrow]

Was already top 5 seller on steam and PS tho

[timid basin]

aleight thanks so arachne sounds cool af and us but what does expunged mean

[worn knoll]

for one day, dragon age veilguard hit number one for a day too

flopped like all hell

[frank crest]

ram shortage got the new consoles delayed for a while i think

[twilit sparrow]

Veilguard was trash and garbage tho lol

[rough sail]

Another reason to hate AI

[grave dragon]

Go to bed kids, this is the last warning

👀

[rough sail]

I think her point is that early sales numbers aren't a good indicator

[wintry bough]

Aw... But it's only 4 am...

[twilit sparrow]

It is, veiltrash had momentum with over 70k players and then they saw the game was garbage and refunded it

[worn knoll]

Our innocent friend LoneWolf1488(someothernumbersfordeniability) with the scheming and plotting gas mask pfp is back to warn us that we must sleep at his command. This is a trustworthy man, we can believe any word he says. We ought to sleep, the lot of us.

[grave dragon]

Alright kid.... I'll let it slide this time

[worn knoll]

cartoonishly evil account my man

[cold stump]

was veilguard just not fun?

[grave dragon]

LOL

🤣🤣

[rough sail]

i wanna stay up so that I reset my sleep schedule

[twilit sparrow]

It had gender politics in a medieval fantasy game and trash gameplay

[wintry bough]

Nah but fr my schedule doesn't exist.

[grave dragon]

Hahahahhahaha

[worn knoll]

ah that never works on me I just go to sleep midday on accident at my desk or some shit and then wake up at 5pm and scream FUCK

[cold stump]

gender politics makes games better

[twilit sparrow]

Majority disagrees

[rough sail]

I usually fold once it hits like 11am

[cold stump]

im kidding with how i word it

[forest laurel]

concord had a they/them robot lmao

[twilit sparrow]

Modern politics have no place in medieval fantasy games especially with how serious and dark previous DA games were

[cold stump]

no dude youre insane nobody played veilguard because it spat on the core tenants of its franchise it had nothing to do with queer representation, baldurs gate 3 has tons of it and got goty

[grave dragon]

Lena, your ass has been up since 50 days straight

[rough sail]

damn it's actually -6 degrees right now

[grave dragon]

Sussssss

[rough sail]

this is inoffensive in my humble opinion. Veilguard was kind of just in your face about it

[twilit sparrow]

Youre wrong, the writing was trash and its deserved to be made fun of

[timid basin]

little does he know its 12 pm rn

pm noon i think

[wintry bough]

This is why kingdom comes deliverance exists.

[frank crest]

3 am for me

[rough sail]

5am for me 🙏

[frank crest]

3:13 to be exact

[timid basin]

noobs im in the future

[worn knoll]

This just reminds me of the dev team posting about how their medieval fantasy game has "no modern agendas, look at this normal woman in our game" and it's 100% the modern ideal tradwife archetype as determined by years of fake "RETVRN" politics. Full face of modern-styled makeup.

[grave dragon]

Bed time is always a good time imo, just hits right

🤣

[timid basin]

yo nice banner how did u find it

[frank crest]

not when you have nightmares of kidney stones every night

[grave dragon]

There's a trick to that

[timid basin]

my bed time is either 11 pm or 12 am or 1 am or 2 am or 3 am and max 4am

[rough sail]

y'know chat, I don't think I've done a handstand in years

[worn knoll]

it's just the ezine video from the ARG. the gif behind the bat in my PfP is spliced together between that video and the clips of the MIDA intro we have from the vidoc

[timid basin]

i have dreams where im fighting and my arms are gummies every time

[twilit sparrow]

You can represent anything with tasteful writing, veiltrash was not one to do it

[sage fulcrum]

when is the open test ??

[rough sail]

idk

[twilit sparrow]

Condord was a money laundering scheme considering it took 200 mils to make, pronouns are just easy rage bait and shock value lol

[vague hound]

Good luck to you on that

[grave smelt]

Yeah, that's the point. BG3 is great because it is a great game that has well-written characters. It is irrelevant if they are queer or not. Might as well be all queer. BG3 is "just" a game

Veilguard was more of a political statement than a game. A bunch of entitled incompetent activists used their position as game developers to promote their agenda. Characters were written for that. Not just written. And this goes for all games like that.

It doesn't matter if a game has only white men or represents every minority. Not every group of people represents a perfect pie chart of races, genders and whatever. In fact most don't. If it is a good game, it is a good game. If it is a political statement then it is not really a game to begin with

[timid basin]

thankz

[vague hound]

So how yall make time for games and shi ?

[timid basin]

why do people care if someone likes the same gender 💔💔💔💔i genauineali dont gaf

scary that you spent 10 minutes typing this out

[trim summit]

5am-3:30pm shifts

[vague hound]

Ah

[grave smelt]

People care if any topic gets shoved down their throat when they just want to have fun

[twilit sparrow]

Why you defending veiltrash bro it failed hard lol

[vague hound]

Yall must be having other stuff to do also right ?

Cooking

[grave smelt]

I just came, it took me 2 minutes tops. My discord didn't scroll down all the way

[vague hound]

Workouts

How much time can yall say you got completely free ?

well i eat lunch when im back (like 3 30) then i can play some games and at 7pm i go to the gym for 1-2 hrs. icome back play some and sleep

in between i eat random stuff

[cold stump]

they should add the woke shell to marathon id buy a trillion copies

[vague hound]

You are not elon musk

[glacial bane]

I remember a time in first-person shooters (90s) where the protagonist (the player character) didn't have a gender. it wasn't a man or a woman or anything in-between. my point is that non-binary characters in shooters have always been a thing 👍 it literally doesn't matter what gender they are

[iron palm]

any advice in your opinion is it better to get the deluxe or the standard edition?

[vague hound]

Thats good

[cold stump]

how much disposable income do u have

[trim summit]

50 hours maybe

[timid basin]

deluxe for rich guys standard for brokies

[rough sail]

something something traveller from an antique land something something ozymandias something something remains

[grave smelt]

Yep. It really doesn't

[timid basin]

and i do other stuff instead of gsming but if i have nothing to do i do it

[vague hound]

In age

[timid basin]

now my routine is changing cuz i just got accepted into a boxing gym

[grave smelt]

Aaaahhh

[twilit sparrow]

Thats... not non binary, thats just the devs makinf protagonists they want without following guidelines by lunatics, male or female protagonists it didnt matter because games had compelling stories, they were not social rage baits like veilguard

[trim summit]

W

[grave smelt]

[vague hound]

I mean in that department I aint lacking either

We are ALL (except dungeon master for some reason) going to make it 🙏

[grave smelt]

Most people don't hate gay people. They just hate them as the most obvious source of inconvenience when actually those gay people were poorly "used" to promote agenda of other people. And they are not the problem

It is obviously wrong, but I am explaining that a lot of haters are actually just really confused

[vague hound]

Im just doing the job for experience to see what it's like

[timid basin]

in poland u can apply for a fund for uour company (most time accepted) and u can start it

I already saved up the money for it

it kinda is non-binary by definition if you don't assign a character a gender. also, what in particular about trans characters do you have an issue with in video games

[cold stump]

damn

[vague hound]

Yeah

It does take time tho

To get known

[teal condor]

Morning

[vague hound]

In the market

[timid basin]

i wish i wasnt lazy af and i could learn shi like u

[gilded cedar]

Anyone knows how to initiate the contracts in the server?

[unborn badger]

no info lol

[vague hound]

Just buy a course off udemy

[unborn badger]

kinda said expunged for the funnies

[vague hound]

I started from there

[unborn badger]

means information wiped

[timid basin]

yea but first im saving up i want a 2020 dodge challenger scatpack and savings to live and then ill be taking courses

[timid basin]

zamm

[grave smelt]

No? There is a difference between an undefined gender and non-binary gender.

They just didnt tell you the hero's gender. It can be a regular guy or a regular woman. Or anyone else. You are misgendering the character by calling them non-binary

[vague hound]

My dream is to make a goty in this life

[unborn badger]

get a station wagon bruh 😭 😭

scat pack ain't worth it

any 2010s station wagon

[timid basin]

i wish good luck to u but it would be better to get hired in a big company (i think)

[unborn badger]

cls shooting brake's amazing

or an rs2

[vague hound]

Nah as my own studio. I wanna farm aura like Kojima

[frank crest]

im gonna invest in slipstream

[vague hound]

Thank you

[glacial bane]

oh well that wasnt my intention. maybe im confusing the term with something else. i didnt really mean those who identify as non-binary. rather that the character doesnt have an assigned gender. i thought you could use non-binary in that context also. my apologies 👍

[frank crest]

❤️‍🩹

[timid basin]

naahh first im renting a place saving money up then i get daihatsu sirion as a car to just move around and i just invest gold most part and get the dodge to show off dream csr

[rough sail]

Just don't make a hero shooter twin 🙏

[timid basin]

im investing too i want a % from u lmao

[vague hound]

I do got an idea thats never been made

[unborn badger]

I mean scat pack's fine if you really want it but lemme put you on some ball game

[vague hound]

It's gonna take time

[short sinew]

[cold stump]

[north echo]

On the weekend

[frank crest]

[vague hound]

[timid basin]

[twilit sparrow]

I dont have any issue lol, many games force politics down my throat though and i aint buying themnlike veilguard

[timid basin]

idk how to even invest but count me in

[unborn badger]

you roll up on a light modded daily like an rs2 it'll genuinely be elite ball if you do it right

[vague hound]

Bros got the elite wheel knowledge

[north echo]

Vro 🥀

[unborn badger]

[vague hound]

U live in the USA?

[north echo]

Invest in ur education first vro 🥀

[timid basin]

nope poland

[short sinew]

@cold stump today forsure?

[vague hound]

Then learn

Investing is always good

[glacial bane]

what in particular about games like veilguard do you have an issue with then. I'm genuinely curious

[timid basin]

ill be investing in gold i dont trust crypto

[vague hound]

Listen to earning conference calls of companies ur interested in

You will know what's going on

[cold stump]

no i lied

[north echo]

No you won’t vro you gotta learn cash flow and shi

Earnings ain’t enough

[unborn badger]

real jdm heads pull up on a low kit chrome rimmed gen 5 camry on a nice dark orange and clean interior

[glacial bane]

what

[vague hound]

That too, but concalls are good for beginning

[short sinew]

@cold stump I hope it’s next weekend

[vague hound]

U will know what the company direction is

[unborn badger]

americans at least I can't say for the actual jdm scene in japan 💔

[cold stump]

likely right before launch

[vague hound]

Then options and shi

It is complex ofc there's a lot more

Gotta put time thats all

[cold stump]

NUCAL COMMS IS JUST STICKERS NOBODY IS TALKING

[glacial bane]

you should invest in ubisoft. their stock just tanked another 35% from 90% the previous year 👍

[north echo]

That’s what Tim Apple would say

[cold stump]

[glacial bane]

easy money if they come out with another hit

[vague hound]

Tim apple dont even know how to train an AI

[unborn badger]

any february weekend but probs week right before launch lol

[short sinew]

@cold stump probably February 27th then

[north echo]

Tim Apple had to outsource with gemini with a deal

[cold stump]

yers

[vague hound]

Exactly

Imagine having the so many sold phones and no data

[glacial bane]

we're secretly training siri on gemini 👍

[north echo]

So basically all in goog

[frank crest]

gabagool

[north echo]

Not secretly vro 🥀

[celest coyote]

[twilit sparrow]

Clear political lecture like im 5 years old, gender politics in a medieval game and absolutely horrible gameplay and writing. Plus i am not from the US so all these gender wars are just memes to me

[vague hound]

Mom said not to get political

[frank crest]

good decision from mom

[glacial bane]

games have always been political though. it's just that politics has become more complicated recently. things change

[rough sail]

isn't most media political to some degree

[north echo]

Politics in my sims game?!

[vague hound]

https://tenor.com/view/omfg-hello-omfg-oi-oi-oi-oi-mouth-sing-gif-4736652125892281857

[glacial bane]

yes

[twilit sparrow]

They use political themes thats not the same as lecturing your audience like veilguard did

[vague hound]

No gifs ?! 😨

[north echo]

No

[charred snow]

You played Veilguard?

[frank crest]

sadly no

[glacial bane]

media is made by creative humans who are by nature biased in one way or another. mostly to the left, sometimes to the right

[vague hound]

Man this is bunz

[north echo]

I blame it on the g0ners

[twilit sparrow]

You think id waste 60 euros on that junk?

[vague hound]

Another example of politics

[glacial bane]

and it has always been like that

[vague hound]

We not allowed to put gifs

In da chat

Bad politics

[real loom]

https://tenor.com/view/hello-gif-13062150862685254762

Oh man

[celest coyote]

They’ve infringed on our freedom

[vague hound]

Exactly

[celest coyote]

Our inalienable right to spam irrelevant gifs into chats

[real loom]

I’m not preordering if I can’t drop cat gifs tbh

[glacial bane]

in what way did veilguard lecture the player in politics. if you can give specifics. i have never played it myself

[celest coyote]

Perhaps MIDA is right, perhaps the oppression has gone too far

[charred snow]

Me neither. Game didn't seem that interesting.

[frank crest]

im confused why everyone is talking about veilguard

[arctic obsidian]

What’s it gonna take to make The Finals become super popular FPS game ??

I don’t get how it always averages 1,000 viewers on Twitch and 14K players. Like what do ppl just not like about it??

[real loom]

Is this not the veilgaurd server?

[rough sail]

Iirc there's a scene where a character tells their family they're nonbinary and explains what it means to them

[celest coyote]

Honestly I think it’s just fatigue for multiplayer only pvp games

[rough sail]

Probably what slop denier is referring to

[frank crest]

i think it’s a bit too late for it to become much more popular, it’s been out for a while

[celest coyote]

Like splitgate is struggling as well , which is a shame imo

[frank crest]

yeah they went on the right path removing the classes

[twilit sparrow]

Look it up on youtube brother its easy to find

[glacial bane]

thats akin to an actor on a tv show coming out as gay. what is the problem

[arctic obsidian]

I get it but what is it about it that’s just not clicking with people? It’s super crispy polished and the gunplay is amazing yet nobody’s giving it a chance

[glacial bane]

no

[twilit sparrow]

Im too hyped for highguard GOTY to type about veilguard even more

[grave smelt]

Dialogues very often focused on modern, progressive, and, in some cases, explicit discussions regarding identity and gender

[twilit sparrow]

3 days btw and 0 marketing bahahahha

[grave smelt]

in a Dragon Age game

[frank crest]

what pfhorskin said

[north echo]

Let them cook

[glacial bane]

yes and why is this a problem is what I'm not getting

this is literally what people talk abou these days

[rough sail]

The issue most people have with it is that it doesn't fit in a medieval fantasy setting

[grave smelt]

bro this is a medieval fantasy game, hello

[glacial bane]

in the 70s it was anti war narratives in movies because of vietnam

[arctic obsidian]

That means they’re gonna let it die soon as it drops since they seen players don’t want it and they’re not gonna waste more time and money trying to make the game better.

[grave smelt]

it is not cyberpunk 2077

[teal condor]

I finished Apothecary Diaries the other day, it's really good tbh. I'm glad that anime had an ending. The writing was great and visually stunning. Tense without being annoying. 8/10 my personal taste in pacing impacted the score.

[forest ginkgo]

Cyberpunk mentioned 🗣️

[celest coyote]

Yeah I mean I played it, I had fun with it but there have just been so many PvP only games with the battle passes and cosmetics and everything that’ it’s just kinda drowned out

[frank crest]

corpo bastards rise up

[celest coyote]

Endorphins released

[grave smelt]

then anti war narrative in the game about 70s would be fine. and gender politics would not be fine, wouldnt it?

[charred snow]

Thinking "gender stuff" didn't exist in medieval times, let alone can't exist on a fantasy setting, is crazy.

[glacial bane]

it doesnt matter though. tons of fantasy and sci fi are metaphors or allegories for modern politics. it has always been like that

[grave smelt]

there is a difference between it existing and it being the dominant topic

[forest ginkgo]

Real

[grave smelt]

very cool. and longsword is a metaphor for a SOCOM M4A1. Yet they swing with them instead of pointing at each other from 300 meters

[glacial bane]

gender politics would be fine because people were gay and trans and non-binary back then as well

[celest coyote]

I’d say there’s a difference between weaving in politics naturally or it being forced

[grave smelt]

exactly the point of mine and everyone who this guy argues with

[arctic obsidian]

Nah bro that’s not a good answer. There has to be more

Did Bungie make Concord ?

[frank crest]

Lmao i do think that’s really the answer though

[glacial bane]

you dont seem to read a lot of books or just simply dont get the references when you read them 👍

that is totally fine

[rough sail]

Yeah bungie made concord 🙏

[arctic obsidian]

So why does Marathon and Concord look drastically different

[celest coyote]

I can’t tell if we’re joking but it was Firewalk

Not bungie

[rough sail]

I was lying for personal amusement

[celest coyote]

Oh my b

[vocal turret]

Hope the game has a french dubbing and one in each language

[grave smelt]

is it me or is it you? because you for some reason think that "one two people knew about vague gender borders" is somehow equal to "literally everyone in the whole world is talking about their gender dysphoria all the time"

[ancient rapids]

Hello guys

[celest coyote]

Hi

[grave smelt]

hello, velcome to the Veilguard discord server

[teal condor]

Holla

[celest coyote]

And the gender politics server

[ancient rapids]

There’s a lot of people here wow

[celest coyote]

Where sometimes good games like armored core and cyberpunk and marathon are mentioned

[teal condor]

This is actually the clown hater association

[ancient rapids]

Game gonna be so peak

[frank crest]

i might be wrong but i think all games produced by a big studio have that

[teal condor]

Take a seat tell us how you hate clowns today

[arctic obsidian]

Nah. I just think people aren’t interested in the Go and Capture type of gameplay that Finals main mode has. If Finals was a BR I think it would be way more popular because how you can destroy the environment.

[teal condor]

In this chat we listen AND judge

[vocal turret]

Yesterday, Xbox annonced Forza horizon 6 and french is the only language that haven't dubbing...

[arctic obsidian]

Tbh…Marathon lowkey made me super interested in wanting to play Destiny for the first time.

[rough sail]

I'm mainly sitting back and observing

[cold stump]

get rid of ai voice acting

[wary zealot]

good morning
