the alpha begins april 23rd

[winter stirrup]

Very good to know

[ruby stump]

A lot of people are worried about the genre change for Marathon tbh

[tall meteor]

Imagine turning Marathon franchise into a rpgmmo title like D2

[rose surge]

reminder, do not place your "DAC" inside the teleporters onboard the marathon

[terse canyon]

Aight I've been in this channel for like 5 hours I gotta actually eat and play Vidyagames so I'll see y'all out there

Same, oops

[karmic vector]

oh shit, we have a ton of mutuals from a specific friend group lol

[flat ridge]

Don't upload your dac in crazy

[teal kiln]

I’m excited for the new change to marathon and the originals were sub par this reboot will be great

[rose surge]

this is also non permitted

[terse canyon]

🍔

[errant walrus]

any girls wanna let me place my dac inside their teleporter

[winter stirrup]

You can put your worm anywhere you want

[inland cargo]

What even is the DAC? Like why wouldn't I upload it?

[worldly kelp]

Damn we embed fail today

[ruby stump]

rude weeb is rude

[opaque spade]

dunk those motes big bro

[old flame]

please use respectful terms

[rotund depot]

i imagine that the storytelling the game will use is similar to the ARG, through bits of information you can find through gameplay and whatnot.

[ruby stump]

They turned off embeds after someone spammed porn.
Why it was on to begin with is anyones guess.

[teal kiln]

Calling us a loser like your not a loser haha what a hypocrite

[vagrant mirage]

join my lobby you gonna uninstall after the run and play roblox

[torn yarrow]

1v1 me kovaaks buddy

[vocal condor]

Ppl like u is usually the first one to rage quit the game after 1 month not having good time on it

[rose surge]

The U.E.S.C. will not be held liable for any destruction of your DAC if you put them inside the teleporters

[light scroll]

no, its pvp modes with some pve enemies in the map at launch. it being a live service game means they might do some future pve only stuff like apex and ow have done

[torn yarrow]

Roblox is unironically super aimer heavy

[rancid wing]

i have mountain dew baja blast in my sclera its clouding my vision

That’s sick regardless I’m excited I just was hoping maybe for some couch commando style with my son

[ruby stump]

We had some idiot earlier spamming links to a 18+ teen porn discord.

[vocal condor]

Hoping this game gonna be good and also to listen about feedbacks from the community

[light scroll]

[vocal condor]

But hope more to see the franchise going over the game in different products, the design is one of the best from bungie

[celest sparrow]

will we fight the witness in marathon?

[rotund depot]

genuinely so excited for it. i've never played an extraction shooter before, so it's a first for me (i'm pulled majorly by the game's art direction, the other shooters didn't appeal to me on that front)

[rose surge]

The U.E.S.C. will not send you a replacement DAC if you stick it in unorthodox/unpermitted scanning holes

[rancid wing]

Rather be a pig than a fascist

[teal kiln]

Halo a masterpiece with many awards , Destiny a masterpiece with many awards, Marathon will be a masterpiece and win many awards like all of Bungies games have

[opaque spade]

yeah man

[polar haven]

Icl I’m MAD excited for marathon Bungie cooked so hard

[rose surge]

I really wanna see the aliens tho why haven't we seen them yet outside of the 2023 trailer ..

we only got to see a single shot of the compiler..

[opaque spade]

6 man ghosts of the deep

[vocal condor]

At this point we are planty of them, nothing new, but who cares, making new dynamics and gameplays it is hard, and you receive hate as well, check the blooddusk by from software, they try to make something different and they take shit, if u still on the same gameplay u take shit as well.
I just hope in a good game and the most important thing in 2025 is the community, be melted with the community
Also not let die the branding with just the game

[vague spindle]

The art direction is awesome and also the game seems good, hoping they gonna take advantage of this making merchandise, series to watch, tabletop games etc, expanding the brand

My intro to Destiny was D2, my exit was the crucible

[vernal kiln]

I play Div 1 & 2 far more than I've played D1 & 2, but I've never had a game set the hook in me and make me want to play day in & day out like original Destiny did.

[ruby stump]

Rise of Iron is still of some of Bungie's best work
Change my mind.

[golden mountain]

destiny is the only true destiny killer

[gilded topaz]

D1 launched in a rough state but so did D2.

GRASP OF AVARICE THE BEST DUNGEON

[rancid wing]

Get over it
been hearing this since ages now
Come up with new ideas

[teal kiln]

Destiny should of stayed straight Destiny it didn’t need a part 2 just build off it and make it the biggest game ever

[ruby stump]

Stupid fucking traps...

[karmic vector]

though a masterpiece for me is something like heroes of might and magic 3: complete. D1 doesn't come close to that. but it's very special to me otherwise.

[golden mountain]

it’s a joke - chilllllll

[unkempt marsh]

What was the command to get a DAC again? I forgor

[karmic vector]

div 1 and 2? what are those?

[ruby stump]

I just wanted them to make a PC Version of Destiny 1.

[opaque spade]

bot sends it in ur dmsgamer

[karmic vector]

oh that would have been so nice..

[ruby stump]

Tom Clancy's The Division 1 and 2 is my guess.

[vernal kiln]

@karmic vector
Division franchise, Ubisoft.

[teal kiln]

I spent hundreds of dollars on Destiny 1 then they make a complete collection for 60 bucks

[karmic vector]

ahhh, I see I see

[warped rover]

you see youve kind of limeted yourself here in loot terms meaning people will play only for the guns atatchments and class up grades this means you miss out on chest,legs,head, ornaments like a hood almost like destiny but again this isnt destiny, but the grind for the personalisation and making your character loook and feel how you want to play is whatr we like about bunjies games halo 4 CUSTOMISATION D1 D2 you see where im going.

adding this in my opinion will increase player time and popularity by abit not much but enough to get a good eye opener to people. when you think about it in long term the game looses its passion and motivation for plays to grind.

              no to static heros. 
              yes to class grind.

[golden mountain]

they did. it’s D2

[ruby stump]

Ninja'd

[mellow marlin]

turn off any extensions you have and if you dont got any then idk man good luck

[karmic vector]

but bungie didn't make halo 4

[vernal kiln]

The original extraction shooter.

[teal kiln]

We need a new splinter cell so bad

[vernal kiln]

No arguments there!

[ruby stump]

God, Survival in Division 1. They never brought that feeling to Division 2.

[teal kiln]

The only true halos are halo 1 , halo 2 , halo 3 , and halo reach

[rancid wing]

Extraction shooter grind is to make ur stash worth more , not upgrade ur class lvl power creep

[ruby stump]

Real good stuff, shame they didn't build on it.

[vernal kiln]

Still play that. Fucking magical.

[karmic vector]

odst.. you cannot forget that one

[teal kiln]

343 almost buried halo

[visual sphinx]

Halo 3 The goat of goats

[karmic vector]

halo 2 vista we can forget about though.

I am excited for the halo reboots though

[odd path]

Do we just have to join discord for alpha or do additional steps?

[vagrant mirage]

what an awful port that was

[cobalt dove]

No, we must never forget

I’m 42 and still wreck faces all day in the halos

The best halo game is the one you grew up playing, factually speaking

[karmic vector]

I remember when he was posting up the music on bnet before the game dropped. He was so proud of his work on it.

[opaque spade]

might have to switch up

[midnight jolt]

i agree with this !

I love beating younger ppl then telling them my age and tell them how daddy just spanked ya

i wish marty wasnt a weirdo his music is great

Halo 1 was fuckin special though man, it was the Marathon 4 we always wanted

[calm escarp]

can you not participate in the closed alpha if you live in the EU?

[opaque spade]

[granite flame]

Yeah, it sucks

[errant walrus]

cheater cheater pumpkin eater

[slate coral]

no

[vernal kiln]

What is we've never grown up?

[rose surge]

I can't lie halo 5 was real fun, only played it very recently after playing every other halo years ago but the gameplay is stupid fun, story not so much

[calm escarp]

😭

[torn yarrow]

Man, I wish I got into playing games sooner, all the fps games that made people so good are dead now

[karmic vector]

though I grew up playing all of them. and the best two imo were halo 2 and 3 for their online play. though reach had the best story

[opaque spade]

sticking my dac in

[raven cedar]

Wait wtf happened with Marty is he a freak?

[main apex]

Following Marty to see more of his work and getting blasted with completely unprompted American "anti communism" psychosis fucking sucked man

at least salvatori is cool

[teal kiln]

Halo 2 is my childhood best years of gaming

AND IF YOU READ IT AGAIN YOU "creep" youll fins that im on about loot not level

got kicked out of bungie for being horrible to work with, hes an alt-right grifter now and has SA allegations from former bungie employees

Even to this day gaming doesn’t match early halo days

That's horrible.

You will buy the $35 shoe skins and you will be happy

[steep solstice]

thats right

[flint saffron]

Click and drag it

[hollow kayak]

save it t your desktop then drag it onto the page

[karmic vector]

though you didn't usually see modders in matches super often. they were mostly messing around in private matches and doing lobbies where you could race on tracks out of the map.

[raven cedar]

Fantastic, that actually makes me so sad

[main apex]

Micro transactions in a paid video game... We should have given execs swirlies after oblivion horse armor

[torn yarrow]

They were just part of an arg

[teal kiln]

From what I hear a lot of the bungie layoffs went to halo studios so halo may be back

[rose surge]

do we know who's doing the soundtrack for marathon?

[errant walrus]

sticking my in

[light scroll]

also whenever he interacts with gaming communities nowadays hes always ego tripping and trying to advertise his newer business ventures

[ruby stump]

Still angry how ID/Bethesda fucked over Mick Gordon.

[main apex]

Nah, not under Microsoft. Microsoft pushed 343 hard to get Infinite out and the game suffered hard in the process. It was supposed to be supported with DLC for years to come and instead it got killed immediately

[granite flame]

Not yet, probably when the game comes out, we'll find out

[torn yarrow]

This isn’t lore accurate buddy.

[granite flame]

THIS

[raven cedar]

:((( is Michael salvatori still chill??

[main apex]

He's been laid off so the CEO of Bungie could afford his 9th sports car

[karmic vector]

pretty sure

[main yew]

Sah doods is there new ARG stuff goin on?

[errant walrus]

my bad shes sticking her in me !!!!

[teal kiln]

They started a whole new studio called halo studios 343 is no longer making halos at least as 343 studios

[light scroll]

yeah ive heard nothing but great things about salvatori and the other bungie composers, former and current

[raven cedar]

Yea I heard about that, that really sucks

[main apex]

All they did was rename the studio just to keep investors happy

[rose surge]

ah alright, either way who ever is doing it is doing a fantastic job lol

[ruby stump]

Ugh... don't remind me, fucking Pete Hines.

[long token]

Let the game rest in peace

[vagrant mirage]

Is Breaking Benjamin part of this new soundtrack?

[granite flame]

The music in the short film was amazing

[opaque spade]

bro ur a liar traxus is so lame

[main apex]

No I think everyone should be reminded and everyone should be conscious of how evil it was

Any idea for Linux support?

So there's no player hub etc? For social expectations. Atleast that's what i expected from bungie game.

Just get Cyraxx to do the music

are any other europeans sad that the closed alpha is north america only 😭

[vast heath]

[vagrant mirage]

maybe we unlock hub through ingame events

[spice shell]

Sup.

[steep solstice]

bsd support?

[ruby stump]

Yeah if you bypass it on the steamdeck it'll permaban your bungie account.

[errant walrus]

[granite flame]

Regardless of how Marathon turns out, I'm proud of Bungie for making another game and the developers are working their ass off, fuck Pete Parsons and the higher ups I hope hey all step down and let everyone's creativity shine

[crude urchin]

Well that sucks. Alteast delta force some kind of it

[rose surge]

probably not, considering you can't with destiny afaik

[opaque spade]

i want your* w*rm

[granite flame]

YEAHHHH

[karmic vector]

I'd just like there to be macintosh support

[ruby stump]

Even though it's entirely functional under linux, it's just Bungie intentionally set the flag for battleeye to prevent it being used on such.

[midnight marlin]

it’s technically possible to play outside NA if you get an alpha code somewhere but with the chances of that i think i’ll wait

[median trout]

Will closed Alpha only be on PC or Xbox Series X and PS5 as well?

[teal kiln]

Same bro long time bungie fan im just happy to see them going back to their roots of the start of bungie

[light scroll]

bungies roots are gnop not marathon

[opaque spade]

root mentioned

[tight heath]

I just hope the game is worth it and lasts a while, that's way all the stupidity destiny had to deal with was worthwhile

[light scroll]

we love gnop

Without marathon there might not of ever been a Halo or a Destiny

[granite flame]

The graphic realism art style goes so hard ughhh but yeah!!

It's just "UHHH IF HUMAN HAVE ROBOT ARMS... IS HUMAN HUMAN STILL???"

[ruby stump]

Human Revolution + Missing Link was good.

[main apex]

And then they throw Greek words at you over and over like their story is smart

[opal whale]

Good Morning crusty crew!

[ruby stump]

Adam Jensen was a lot more than robot arms but w/e

[main apex]

I wish transhumanist media would ask a new question instead of recycling GITS for 30 years LOL

[sweet dagger]

There's enough furries in this chat to start a zoo
Didn't know Marathon's vibes were that immaculate

[steep solstice]

human mankind is good

[ruby stump]

Haha.

[karmic vector]

even got the hidden ones who dont have furries as their profile picture

[main apex]

Not enough yellow filters and Greek literature for the pseudo intellectual modern deus ex audience

[golden mountain]

homie is trynna get brainy on things. i haven’t had enough coffee for this

[keen kelp]

You’re such a massive loser my guy

[ruby stump]

There's a side mission in cyberpunk about that

[ruby stump]

Rmemeber ghost recon standalone complex first assault online? I do.

[golden mountain]

cyberpunk feels like one long side mission and i’m not terribly mad about it

[steep solstice]

Especially the next elder scrolls and eventual fallout game.

[long token]

My boi needs to feel life before he meets his end

[elder moon]

leave it bungie make a super intriguing world and characters just to make it an extract shooter lol. Game looks fun though

[golden mountain]

same

[karmic vector]

this chat just reminds me of The Flood back onthe bnet forums

[ruby stump]

Oh yeah, bnet... that was a thing.

[long token]

I loved the side quest in cyberpunk

[runic anvil]

dawg let them cook before dismissing it as "just an extraction shooter"

they mentioned bloody raid and puzzle shit let em cook

[long token]

Marathon is more cyber than punk tho

[ruby stump]

It has a pink bioengineered feline

[long token]

I don't see no 90s inspired shit

[steep solstice]

[elder moon]

im not hating, i’ve always wanted an extraction shooter on console just it’s probably not gonna do super well

[spice shell]

A new flood for a new age™️

[granite flame]

I've never played an extraction shooter but the lore and vibe of marathon is really crazy and Bungie knows how to do gunplay and shit, I'm excited to play it!

[keen kelp]

Everyone is

[cerulean tusk]

Anyone else not getting the new emblem?

[ruby stump]

Starfield was forgettable, enjoyable but forgettable and brought nothing new.

[granite flame]

Waiting for the next episode haha

[main apex]

Yeah that's my point, there's more questions to ask with transhumanism than "uhhh what's a human if you replace everything"

[opal whale]

I need it rnnnnnnn

[ruby stump]

If I really wanted a space game I'd play Elite Dangerous. Star Citizen or even No Man's Sky. But Starfield?

[steep solstice]

like what

[granite flame]

GOD THAT LAST HALF OF THE EPISODE OMG

[mint depot]

it happened, yet the prophecy is unfulfilled

[brisk geyser]

True, but they are reviving a property that is that old. So before they ask new questions, they need to ask the old questions again

[opal whale]

s2 gon be NUTS.

[karmic vector]

I grabbed a subscription to xbox live for a month to try out starfield. installed it, played it for like an hour and was just.. "nah fuck this" and uninstalled it

[ruby stump]

I believe in what Star Citizen is doing but I don't know it it'll ever come out.

[golden mountain]

questions been asked. watch TNG or BattleStar Glactica

[granite flame]

He's gonna be wearing the shadowland suit and that's my favorite one 🥹

[ruby stump]

It's feature creep incarnate.

[sweet dagger]

I put my puter in a new case and now that it doesn't have its Ch*m Bucket sticker how will I ever tell that it's the same puter

[rose surge]

I'm not too worried ngl, while I think starfield failed to achieve the goal of making a big proper space exploration game, a solid story and gameplay loop outside of exploration lied outside of that, and its not that the worlds had bad locations, just too repetitive

[brisk geyser]

It's fucking cooking the last year or so, worth checking on next free flight

[karmic vector]

that's actually a good tagline ngl

[leaden light]

thats what they said it would be a year ago when they teased the game, what did you expect?

[prisma bluff]

I mean it's a very different game, no action, but "Outer Wilds" is one of the greatest experiences I've ever had

[craggy lotus]

put on another sticker

[ruby stump]

It's really doing well, yeah, I've been playing, salvaging is great, very theraputic.

[safe bramble]

I was trying to catch up on ARG stuff that I missed, did the symbols used in decryption and whatnot have a fully translated list or way to work out?

Was trying to check the subreddit, but its kind of a shitshow rn, I prefer the shitposting here compared to the endless regurgitation of youtube comments.

[ruby stump]

Started with dogfighting and hauling then bought a Vulture.

[worldly hemlock]

on the uesc site terminal there was a decoder

[ruby stump]

Outer Wilds is immaculate.

[cobalt relic]

Watch pantheon

[ruby stump]

I also enjoyed outer worlds, and hope the second is even better. because obsidian knows how to write.

[golden mountain]

one of the best things about Bungie is their ability to bring together the boomers and zoomers

[livid glen]

[ruby stump]

Unfortunately bethesda does not.

[leaden light]

I think it’s crazy that so many people aren’t looking forward to this game after the gameplay trailer, this is everything I’ve wanted since I heard of the game making a come back

a blend between casual and competitive extraction shooter with an original artstyle that seperates it from every other game at the moment.

the guns look sick, the classes are interesting, and the world building is cool asf

[glad belfry]

I just realized something!!! The HEX code for Marathons logo is the same as CW devastator.

[golden mountain]

i’m hyped for it. 🚂

[ruby stump]

I'd love to see Obsidian be able to make another fallout game given they made New Vegas

[ruby falcon]

they used to though

[lunar grove]

/pattern-recognition XIPE

[ruby stump]

The old guard of Bethesda did, yeah. I remember.

[fervent badge]

didnt they make Avowed though?

[ruby stump]

I believe a lot of their talent was left or fired.

[leaden light]

fuck yeah, i love that for you!

I’m just disappointed in the people who seemed to be hype about it and then as soon as they saw gameplay they called it Concord 2.0

[fervent badge]

that game was pretty bad imo

[rose surge]

it's a shame how unstable new Vegas is, great game, probably THE best 3d fallout game but it's probably the worst to get to work outside of maybe 3

[granite flame]

Yeah :((

[livid glen]

People hating the art style too is nuts. Makes me wonder if a game like Wipeout or even Jet Set Radio would get that type of treatment today

[golden mountain]

only people that have the license to say that are the people who played both. which is maybe 10

[ruby falcon]

it was fucking terrible

the talent that made new vegas is gone, yet still they used the "from the creators of" shit just to pull oblivious consumers to buy their terrible product

[ruby stump]

Are people like hating games that are bright and colourful?

[light scroll]

hi sophie

[pulsar meadow]

They also made outer worlds which was pretty hot doodoo. Not to be confused with Outer Wilds which is fucking amazing

[granite flame]

I'm just waiting on codename frontiers news 😔😔😔

[ruby stump]

Do people remember how bright and colourful mirrors edge was and how successful it was... then they made cataylst.

[opaque spade]

DELAYED TILL JAN 2027

[leaden light]

i simply don’t get what there is to hate. the stylized art style is going to outlast the rest of the games of this era and still look good a decade from now

[fervent badge]

agreed. i just bought gamepass and played it for like 30 mins before it got uninstalled

[drifting owl]

scared the shit out of me first thing I saw when I opened discord

[peak fossil]

My exact thought process, Im genuinely confused why theres so much hate (Aside from angry D2 players, I can at least see the angle of criticism) I personally am beyond hyped, and if others arent, oh well. More alpha keys for me and my friends 😂

[granite flame]

Catalyst (with mods) was one of my most played games haha

[livid glen]

People are saying Marathon looks like slop, every other game on the market, and that they're tired of teal and pink

[prisma bluff]

My only gripe nowadays with Outer Worlds is that it sounds similar to Outer Wilds and released around the same time so Outer Wilds flew under the radar mostly 😭

[knotty dome]

its less bright and colorful, and way more the very random-appearing art style, with seemingly useless bits and pieces stapled all over characters

[granite flame]

AHHHHHHHHHHH 😭

[fervent badge]

yea it was a pretty bad game lol

[opaque spade]

Their one QA moved to marathon for this sprint 💔

[ruby stump]

If anyone hasn't played it, seriously check out Outer Wilds.

[granite flame]

SAY IT AIN'T SO 💔💔💔

[muted prism]

whaaat i loved outer worlds im so hyped for 2

[sleek ivy]

im somewhat skeptical of marathon right now i really hope it doesnt go the way of darktide

[pulsar meadow]

OUTER WILDS IS GOAT

[ruby stump]

God, the potential Darktide had.

[rose surge]

marathons new art style is great and is probably for the best, it just makes more sense to have the game visually stand out and look different from how games like halo and such looked, not saying halo looked the EXACT same, but alot of the same design choices went into halo 1, 2, and 3, especially CE.

and also just helps it stands out in general from current games, especially shooters

[river merlin]

Thank you! I made it past the first fish cannery planet and pretty quickly quit after that. All my friends said I was crazy for not liking it.

Obsidian is not the great game maker people pretend it is. They did one singular game right: New Vegas. And even that was bugged to hell. And don't get me wrong. I love KotOR II nearly as much as the first, but that game was sorely underdeveloped, even when you account for the rushed development timeline.

[fervent badge]

the game looks a little like Apex legends now

[granite flame]

It's just been a good bit since they said anything about it and I'd love to see where we're going and whatnot, the weapon and armor changes look cool though

[ruby stump]

Problem with Concord is it was inclusiveness for the sake of inclusiveness, even as a minority I can say that it was just doing it for the sake of it.

[pulsar meadow]

Darktide is good. Well. It's a LOT better now than it used to be.
It's also 16$ on GamesPlanet. Which is an actual authorized key seller.

[livid glen]

Straight up no other game even looks like it right now. It's a weird minimalistic maximalism which is wild, I love it

[sleek ivy]

i feel like marathon looks like a battle royale with extraction as an option instead of the storm

[opaque spade]

Timelines look shorter than the last time they delayed, who knows anymore 💔

[granite flame]

WARHAMMER MENTIONED

[ruby stump]

It had no conclusive art style or proper chracter development.

[prisma bluff]

That's true OG Marathon and Halo have fairly similar art styles.

[leaden light]

Even then, Destiny has been around for over a decade. What more can those players want from a franchise? another 10 year run worth of DLC’s and storylines for a beyond outdated engine?

[pulsar meadow]

Both Outer Wilds and Darktides could be good purchases to get right now for people looking for somethin.

[rose surge]

naw, way different

[river merlin]

Most corporate endeavours are, unfortunately.

[peak fossil]

I think this is one of the most innovative and fresh art styles to come from a game in the last 10 years. Everything has been so extremely uninspired and a UE5 asset dump. To see EVERY model / texture look like they belong together on a map is a beautiful thing that isnt too common nowadays.

[granite flame]

True, hopefully the shit they're cooking is fun though

[harsh fossil]

So true

[leaden light]

random-appearing art style? what do you mean

[sleek ivy]

what i was hoping for was a massive persistent map that would get reset every other week

[ruby stump]

I swear unreal engine games often end up looking similar no matter how they try.

I'm worried for the upcoming cyberpunk and witcher games for that reason. Because CDPR ditching red engine for UE

[river merlin]

https://tenor.com/view/brother-uhh-gif-9035266769326186920

[pulsar meadow]

Usually because unreal uses the same 'BEAUTIFUL POST FX AND POST PROCESSING PACKAGE GET IT HERE NOW FREE' that everyone elses uses then they toggle on the "SMEAR AND SMUDGE YOUR GAME LIKE BLOOD BUTTER ON A WINDSHIELD' also known as TAAA

[peak fossil]

Thats a scary scary thought TBH. I think cyberpunk is perfect now after the countless fixes they have made why mess it up even more?

[prisma bluff]

I mean I would love if they had pvp modes too like Destiny has 🤷‍♂️

[light scroll]

i mean u should be worried for future cdpr games mostly bc of the abhorrent release of 2077, i dont think engine is much of a rrason tho

[leaden light]

I couldn’t agree more, this game is if the art team got full reign over the games artstyle and they fucking snapped

[vestal wing]

He's slow and doesn't know the first thing about art style just ignore him

[raw ferry]

JOINING THE TEST, HOPE TO BE ELIGIBLE AND HAVE FUN

[fervent badge]

nah 2077 is goat now

[pulsar meadow]

Red Engine does kind of blow chunks as a gaming engine

[muted prism]

why are they ditching it

[granite flame]

Phantom Liberty 🥹

[light scroll]

it being good years later doesnt excuse how horrible the release was and that cdpr lied during its marketing cycle

[muted prism]

peak

[peak fossil]

Yeah. You’re right and I agree. But if Destiny was my favorite game franchise of all time, AND if I don’t like extraction shooters, I would probably be upset. I think its human nature at that point

[pulsar meadow]

And it neeeeds updating. But making an Engine is EXPENSIVE, so just use the most common and cheapest engine on the market

[rustic crag]

He was talking about release

[fervent badge]

true id buy the game again though

[light scroll]

she

[ruby stump]

It was an absolute pain in the ass to get redengine to handle first person, it was designed for third.

[fickle flame]

.

[pulsar meadow]

Hint: It's the cheapest for a good reason.

[prisma bluff]

Probably similar reason to Halo's move to UE, just easier for devs to get into quickly.

[opaque spade]

yeah here’s hoping they don’t break every other activity again

[rose surge]

it's mainly because of the tools built into ue5 that make it incredibly easy, relatively, to make a "photo real" game with relatively little effort

I wouldn't worry about CDPR because they're working with epic to bring across alot of the features from RED Engine to UE5 so they can bring a consistent game style and such

[leaden light]

I still want to hear him out, so many people share that opinion and I’m just trying to understand their point of view.

at the end of the day, i think they’re wrong but I atleast want to understand their angle. yk what i mean?

[fervent badge]

amazing DLC

[opal whale]

She

[rustic crag]

my b

[violet stream]

Looking forward to getting in on the ground here

[ruby stump]

I guess, Just wary is all.

[knotty dome]

cant show pictures. im currently looking at a picture of blackbird - the character has a very strange looking helmet, armor that looks like it was generated by ai, random bits of junk, tubing, karabiners not attached to anything, weird decals that don't make any sense.

[ruby falcon]

all the dislikes and people hating on the game under all commentary videos and trailers kind of worry me

but then i remember most of these types of gamers are probably the same "gamers" who'd bitch about the most miniscule shit in new games, or women that don't look like eve from stellar blade. i just hope the game performs like The Finals where it has just enough players to enjoy the game with a reasonable player count

[granite flame]

YEAHHHHH

[safe bramble]

Okay sick, thanks! Stuff from the trailer like “Escape Will Make Me God” had symbols that matched the amount of characters in God, and Ben Starr’s credit for the narrator had 8 characters next to it that could match for the amount in “Durandal” so I was wondering if there was a 1-1 translation possible like Unitology script in Dead Space

[opal whale]

Just curious, nobody has gotten an Alpha acceptance email yet right? We’re assuming it drops closer to launch?

[rose surge]

ya I understand, but engine doesn't define the look and feel, the people at CDPR are very experienced, especially now

[leaden light]

I guess so, just makes me a bit sad and how hard they’re shit talking a game they got no business with.

[safe bramble]

I believe the invites go out closer to launch yeah

[prisma bluff]

It's really hard to conversate about art design in a discord channel where we can't show images Lmao

[vestal wing]

Their angle is bad taste. The aesthetic is really well put together, lots of early 2000s PS2 vibes and Mirror's Edge vibes. It's cool asf, how anyone can compare this to Fortnite is mind blowing to me

[ruby falcon]

almost better than the base story, it's so good

i wish the moon ending was as extensive as the other one. but both are so good

[ruby stump]

Yeah but given some of the shit that's been posted I can't blame them for turning such things off...

[fervent badge]

im pretty sure its against NDA to even mention you got access to it

[knotty dome]

yeah haha. im not completely hating on it, it definitely shows that bungie has a clear identity of their game, and that's really good. armor just kinda looks unnecessarily bulky

[amber knot]

Where do I sign up for alpha?

[hardy delta]

u have to email gabe newell

[opal whale]

Damn lol

[knotty dome]

send a direct message to jeff bezos

[kind notch]

u have to email jeff bezos

[ruby stump]

#🐛alpha_access "/alpha" good luck Make sure you're in the USA or Canada.

[peak fossil]

TBH, I wouldn’t worry about not having enough players. D2 even at its lowest had a very healthy playerbase, its just how Bungie creates their products and generates such a dedicated fanbase for them. Even before gameplay was revealed, there were tens of thousands of people interested in the game. As long as they dont mess up in a MAJOR way I see this game already having a dedicated fanbase

[opal whale]

i am not a big fan of overly "woke" games but ppl r so stupid saying this looks like woke slop, the art style is nothing like anything they're comparing it to, its very fresh. i think this will hinge on normies willing to try an extraction shooter & whether they like it. i haven't played one before so i am curious

[brittle goblet]

Is anyone else not getting the confirmation email to sign up for the alpha?

[kind notch]

art looks shit ngl lol i hope they come out w better stuff than that

[ruby stump]

Woke was a mistake of a word, hijacked by those it didn't belong to for the sake of abusing it.

[silent vault]

its sunday no ones in the office

[fervent badge]

female main character you say? woke.

[prisma bluff]

Let's have something more constructive than "shit" my guy lol

[opal whale]

initially i couldn't get the option to send the email but i made it work, i think its an adblock issue

[leaden light]

What would you have liked to see instead of this type of art style?

At the end of the day, its a game, takes place in a far future, if they add a couple of bits to the armor that reflects that vibe - why not just embrace that?

it’s the same as to how the fallout universe is stuck in this 1950-60’s artstyle even though it takes place 100s of years later

[spice shell]

This is my 5th game announcement being a moderator for Bungie. Random hate and discourse is nothing new.

[peak fossil]

People see a girl character with peak artistic design and all they can think of is “woke” 😑😑😑

[leaden light]

I agree!

[ruby stump]

Woke was once a postive thing coined by POC and minorities, instead it was hijacked by the right.

[torpid eagle]

[hollow badger]

so this is TCF reawakened?

[wicked dew]

I really hope the game is successful i really want to get into the game

[fervent badge]

waitt, you do it for free??

[opal whale]

Woke literally just means you’re aware of societal things happening. So the right is just calling people aware of societal problems and making themselves look dumb technically

[small marten]

Ok lol

[ruby stump]

Then you'll need to wait until the next available test.

[prisma bluff]

Not that you could 🤷‍♂️

[peak fossil]

No pay. Just alpha keys

[hollow badger]

are there factions ?

[light scroll]

bungie has used community volunteers for moderation on their forums for decades now yeah, occasionally they get ingame goodies thrown at em like a destiny emblem but its always small stuff and infrequent

[runic coral]

The art is intentionally monotone so the graphics can benefit overall

[prisma bluff]

What 😭

[thorn field]

anyone feel like the art show prior to the reveal differs from the actual gameplay shown?

[somber topaz]

bro i'm an objective art guy and even i think it's good

don't need to when even Overwatch has better style lol

[craggy lotus]

it objectively is subjective

[spice shell]

And Christmas cards.

I’d argue the same for you. If you think its boring and has no excitement, then thats on you

[ruby stump]

I feel like my life has gotten better since I dumped reddit, and twitter. Genuinely.

It's a small opening test to make sure things work. More tests coming after with more regions included.

Alr it is. But this art is fire bro there’s no denying it. Esp when every other shooter is going for that tarkov aesthetic 😭. So boring

[thorn field]

*art shown

[peak fossil]

Guys lets not act like the original overwatch artwork wasnt PEAK. But that doesnt mean you have to compare it to marathon

[brisk flare]

devs already said they changed the artstyle from graphic realism to the more stylized version we saw in-game over the past few years

[fervent badge]

rivals > overwatch. hot take?

[hollow badger]

how about we forget about this game and just copy TCF 1:1

[proud scaffold]

Yes

[prisma bluff]

Well yeah but that's how CGI and concept art work 🤷‍♂️ Can't really translate it 1:1

[peak fossil]

Rivals is a sad shell of what Overwatch once was

[kind notch]

It's funny seeing people argue about art style and saying they like the Marathon art style, that just shows you're a newer generation who doesn't know the different between good art and "just put together" art

[opal whale]

Yea it’s more like cell shaded graphic realism now

[knotty dome]

my issues with the art style is just the armor. objectively, the armor on the four characters we've seen so far is unnecessarily bulky and full of random shapes that appear to serve no purpose.

i actually like the way the buildings look, the landscapes, all of that is fine.

The armor appears to have been designed by a very creative 7 year old.

[thorn field]

ah thats a shame, loved the look of the teasers, honestly maybe a change in lighting would help

[errant walrus]

it was good but i think now its a bit sterile

[echo flower]

The art isn’t cell shaded? You can zoom in and see the details on materials

[peak fossil]

The original 2d artwork they put out was so amazing IMO the color palettes and everything

[ruby stump]

Not hot at all, just genuinely true.

[last kelp]

the design direction in overwatch is really good but the art style isn't that unique

[prisma bluff]

You can't even start articulating your reasoning lol don't act like this

[opal whale]

Alpha When?

[ruby stump]

23rd of April

[light scroll]

yeah when the game looks good i really really love it but sometimes the lighting just doesnt pull its weight, i noticed it a lot in outdoors gameplay

[opal whale]

April 23rd

[meager ridge]

It’s amazing how so many people are so critical about a game they have literally never played

[silent vault]

[light scroll]

tbf that is the point of advertising and asking for feedback post-reveal

[opal whale]

To be fair Dire Marsh is a fucking awful setting to show the game in. The dark lighting doesn’t compliment the colors at all. Apparently the other maps are much more vibrant.

[prisma bluff]

An increase in contrast as well tbh

[craggy lotus]

if you can't even articulate what you find wrong with it then you probably shouldn't be attempting to imply you're objectively correct

[wet marlin]

🐅 🔛 🔝

[peak fossil]

Rivals is probably fun if you are playing with a trackpad / cloud gaming. But thats where I draw the line😭The lack of competitiveness is astonishing, I play in eternity lobbies and it feels like QP. 15 second fire tornados and 12 second luna ults are NOT competitive at all

[fervent badge]

i played with her yesterday. lets just say i wasnt worried about the gameplay

Feedback without experiencing the game is just criticism tho

[somber topaz]

this has to be rage bait right?

[ruby stump]

I wish more people said that.

[brisk geyser]

It is alpha gameplay, but also I wouldn't be surprised if the time of day was randomized

[knotty dome]

yeah but it has mei, and short thick brunettes are better

[thorn field]

yeah indoors it looks great, i think maybe the vegetation and ground textures dont really match. maybe they could change something on that front

[errant walrus]

you literally just said words dude "just put together" art like what

[opal whale]

man im already in love with the vibe from the game, and the storytelling is beautifull. really like the art style, and the music is great. just got a lot of other great music ideas because im a music producer, and id love to make some marathon remixes if allowed!

[leaden light]

Wouldn’t you say the same about Halo, or Destiny?

I don’t feel like thats a good argument for shitting on the game, but maybe thats just me man

[silent vault]

Alright everyone no sense feeding the troll that can understand subjective appeal and that different people enjoy different things

[native fiber]

[ruby stump]

Don't take people who don't even have a runner or faction role serious here, they're probably just shit stirring

[light scroll]

yes and thats important bc its the marketings job to sell the game and if people arent sold they will tell bungie why so bungie can learn how to improve either the game or the marketing

[plucky schooner]

it’s made by bungie. i think the lighting will improve drastically.

[opal whale]

Bait used to be believable

[plucky schooner]

it is very very bright tho i will agree

[last kelp]

but... but... funny!!

[ruby stump]

Once upon a time ago it was, just like scams.

[spark sphinx]

why are people assuming that the alpha art is the final art

[coral rain]

Does anyone know what the DAC is for?

[neat dome]

just a quick question, do we know anything abt the factions yet or is just like an aesthetic thing for now?

[opal whale]

ya'll ever scanned the QR codes??

they do work btw ;)

[open shoal]

what qr codes

[meager ridge]

I would really hope they’d adjust marketing before they’d adjust gameplay mechanics for people who haven’t touched the game. And to be fair, they never said this game was for everyone.

[leaden light]

What generation are you? and what background do you have in art to be able to differentiate “good” art from “just put together” art?

[ruby stump]

If you fall for any modern scams including discord ones I'm gonna assume you've failed internet 101 or never received it.

[prisma bluff]

There's a lot of sick lore! Worth looking for deep dives on Youtube.

[mellow sable]

Because we need to judge a book by its cover

[open shoal]

do you mean a DAC

[light scroll]

cause launches in september and a lot of the designs and visuals are probably finalized by now

[opal whale]

in the xbox trailer from the showcase trailer, and the xbox trailer in the store the helmet has a QR code too

[fervent badge]

how do you get one?

[neat dome]

will do!!

[knotty dome]

I actually do think the same is for destiny, but Halo armor (before halo infinite came out) has been pretty consistently good. Destiny has the same problem that I feel marathon has. armor that's bulky for no reason. like the salvations edge armor literally looks like it was ai generated. the hunter cloak looks like a rich person's shower curtain.

[meager ridge]

The art is fantastic. Why are we complaining.

[potent anvil]

Are contracts unavailable?

[ruby stump]

id:customize You know. The thing you were directed to when you joined.

[neat dome]

channels and roles tab, one of the first thing on the list of channels

[meager ridge]

[opal whale]

people always find something to complain on

[mellow sable]

Because it’s not hyper realism

[thorn field]

yeah looking at more shots of the outdoor environment i feel like the textures and render quality of water/grass does not hold up to the other aspects of the art direction. its still alpha tho so this could of been changed

[meager ridge]

Right like COD

[violet vector]

This alpha bouta be absolute peak

[last kelp]

I mean that's also kinda a thing bungie has been doing since the original marathon games, the Sphit are very overdesigned on purpose in a lot of cases and even the art we have of the security officer has him in 'sci fi biker armor'

[opal whale]

was there ever a fliight test like in infinite for marathon ias well or is it just the Alpha?

[open shoal]

helo

[spark sphinx]

as much as I'd like it to be otherwise...a lot can happen in the last four months before launch

crunch is dumb but it keeps happening

[neat dome]

I heard ppl talking about it being "corporate slop" and I was like, WHAT???????????????? how can such an unique style be "corporate slop" ffs

[deft sorrel]

👀

[light scroll]

all my issues with the visuals seem like small stuff i hope gets polished out by release ALSO showcasing the swamp map as the primary one was probably not the best move lol

[spice shell]

No u

[ruby stump]

Bro, if you want corporate slop go look at fucking concord.

[open shoal]

ye

[fervent badge]

i was too eager to get access to the alpha

[open shoal]

or dustborn, or the newest saintsrow, etc

[violet vector]

People are complaining about marathon?

[meager ridge]

I’ve heard the other maps are incredible. Still better than COD and other mil sim maps tho

[leaden light]

Ideally what would you want to be done instead?

[open shoal]

we need a frutiger metro game

[thorn field]

yeah i agree, other maps seem to have way more contrast with the enviroments

[echo flower]

Unfortunately, yes

[spark sphinx]

concord makes me sad. I can almost picture the suit walking up behind an artist and going "why does it look like a cartoon? CHANGE IT NOW"

[spice shell]

Imagine people complaining about things on the internet

[prisma bluff]

Ohhhh yeah 😭

[meager ridge]

You spelled Call of Duty wrong

[ruby falcon]

u have no idea how many lawl a lot of people seem to dislike the direction they're going for, mainly that it's not story based and that it's an extraction shooter

[native fiber]

[last kelp]

people? on the internet? speaking confidently about a game they've not played yet? say it ain't so

[open shoal]

HOTDOG HOTDOG HOTDOG HOTDOG HOTDOG HOTDOG HOTDOG HOTDOG HOTDOG HOTDOG

[ruby stump]

Call of duty right now desperately wants to be the next fortnite.

[fervent badge]

true

[silent vault]

no one would waste their time complaining online when they could choose to do ANYTHING else. Nahhhhhh

[opal whale]

brooo the hype is real tbh im an xbox insider since 3 years, and i got the new updates as well coming soon, i hope they update the console before marathon too

[light scroll]

bit of a hot take but concord designs honestly worked well when 2d and stylized, they were just horribly converted into hyperrealistic 3d

[echo flower]

If you pander to people too much , you end up like halo infinite: a game no one likes

[spark sphinx]

I wish it was a singleplayer FPS but I'm willing to hear them out on this one, esp because of the bit about there not being any damage differences between gear tiers

[neat dome]

you ppl didn't undertand me. Im talking about how I find it weird that people are claiming this game is "corporate slop" even though it clearly isnt

[meager ridge]

That game can die

[sterile dragon]

the Concord artystyle actually did its job because every character stood out and the maps looked good without feeling cluttered

[violet vector]

Why do people who play bungie games complain and do nothing to help them out to fix the issues I don’t get it

[prisma bluff]

What 😭

[ruby stump]

Because a lot of people are entitled, especially PC gamers, throwing myself under the bus here.

[fervent badge]

explain how it failed though

[marsh bronze]

Can’t wait for this game!

[normal hill]

Too bad consumers didn’t want it

[spark sphinx]

this is exactly why I figure it was executive meddling; the designs look like they were MEANT to be stylized and had to be cobbled into the photorealistic versions at the last second

[marble dust]

did this guy said, halo infinite, a game that no one likes?

[opal whale]

whole world gotta play marathon finally bungie is back!

[native fiber]

For some reason Bungie games attract the most brain dead takes

[fickle marsh]

Paying full price for a PvP only game where the "story" will be given in seasons (that worked well for Destiny LOL). Funny how among all the content shills... I mean content creators, only Skillup mentioned the actual concerns.

[last kelp]

its more that sony seemingly wanted it to fail

[sterile dragon]

because it cost 40$ with barely any marketing and it got caught in a culture war

[light scroll]

the budget warhammer 40k space marine suit woman looked really good in concept art but the final model is butchered in comparison it was very sad

[mellow sable]

If my PC isn’t on the verge of exploding because of the graphics, then the game is bad

[sterile dragon]

the beta I played was actually very fun it was a good arena shooter

[thin robin]

"dont fuck with bungie fans, we dont even understand our own games"

[opal whale]

i do think a $40 price will hurt the game

[hushed sky]

hello when will there be another test for thr game?

[prisma bluff]

I remember everyone loved it before realizing it didn't have a lot of content... 😦

[leaden light]

I get that. I’m just so confused on how some of the people who don’t like this game, have made the effort to keep track of everything thats released for this game, joined the server for marathon, and still gotta explain how it’s not going to succeed.

[last kelp]

23rd

[mystic juniper]

Can I or can I not stream the game at least to friends in discord?

[ruby stump]

Not according to NDA

[hushed sky]

ty

[fervent badge]

against NDA

[spark stone]

You spelled "help" wrong

[silent vault]

misery loves company

[normal hill]

$40 is fine if season/battle passes are just cosmetic

[ruby stump]

Under a non disclosure agreement you're legally bound by terms.

[pseudo wadi]

you guys think the alpha applications are still being selected or do you think they've already chosen all the applicants already?

[candid kettle]

this chat is so cooked there isn't even a clear topic anyone is communicating just collective worry

[spark sphinx]

I'm gonna be real, I expect this game to end up going f2p in a while

[meager ridge]

Really can’t wait to ruin all of your days in the game

[silent vault]

$40 also keeps alot of cheaters at bay

[neat dome]

I hope they have regional pricing tho

[spice shell]

I enjoy the pvp….

[mystic juniper]

Fr? Just streaming it to friends on discord 🤨

[fickle marsh]

Yeah because we gotta give money to the company that made so many good choices after Forsaken with Destiny right?

[jaunty quail]

How can I get a cute fit gf with nice feet?

[prisma bluff]

Yes

[ebon canopy]

theres a reason this channel is has "noise" in the title

[mellow sable]

NDAs, brochacho

[spark sphinx]

the terms say you aren't allowed to show it to anyone

[last kelp]

people gassed up helldivers 2 which has guns behind battlepass so anything can work with enough communication and player trust

[green sedge]

tried making a marathon edit https://youtu.be/nHQIuJatf9s

[ruby stump]

They're not in the alpha. Therefore it's forbidden. You act like you've never been within an NDA before.

[spark stone]

You sound mad.

[light scroll]

it violates the nda that you sign when you signup for the alpha

[sterile dragon]

even if it starts that way we know how it's gonna end bro corporate greed doesn't know when to stop which is why live service games should be free

[opal whale]

i just think any live service should be free its good for population. although these games r like 18 players right so maybe it won't matter as much

[candid kettle]

its also clear why bungie gave yall yapping holes

[leaden light]

You right, it’s just frustrating. the rage bait is rage baiting.

[spark sphinx]

a lot of that is that helldivers 2 is very generous with the battlepass currency

like, I filled out the whole starter battlepass and half of another pass without spending money just by playing like 8 hours a week

[mellow sable]

Didn’t they say the amount of players varies per map?

[ebon canopy]

[tulip rock]

I wholeheartedly believe half the people that are upset were expecting destiny 3

[marble dust]

bro is destiny dev is like the most greed comapny out there

[ruby stump]

People have had legal actions taken against them in the past for NDA violations, don't end up like them.

[fervent badge]

yup i mean of course youll probably do it anyways if you trust your friends to not spread information, but i didnt say anything

[last kelp]

true, yeah
it'll be up to how they balance progress for sure

[marble dust]

literally to progress on destiny u gotta buy the dlcs

[marsh bronze]

I think I get it…we’re anxious to play the game…🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️

[echo flower]

Think about it bro. Halos players were torn between new and old halo feel. The result? 2k concurrent on steam.

[rapid forge]

yeah so cheaters can just make endless accounts, how long you been gaming sir?

[spark sphinx]

I can tell you right now the other half were expecting new Halo, basically

like, I REALLY want a new singleplayer game in the Marathon universe

[last kelp]

because its not free to play, its free to try

[jaunty quail]

Glitch? Would tap that.

[opal whale]

lol i just know its harder to convince friends to try a game that isnt f2p. also this game is meant to be played w friends

[last kelp]

blackbird is better sorry

[fickle marsh]

Just like someone said, if this game wasn't made by Bungie, Destiny players wouldn't give a damn

[spark stone]

I personally think Infinite is a good game. So we can't say no one like it.

[ruby stump]

I have to say. Yeah, F2P just opens the doors for cheaters and smurf's

[mint epoch]

it could be an easier way to get someone into the genre

[light scroll]

bungie has a history of really bad mtx decisions but dlcs being available as post-launch content 7 years after initial release is not one of them, dlcs are a very basic concept when they add substantial amounts of stuff to do like destiny dlcs

[marsh bronze]

How many concurrents on Destiny 2?

[jaunty quail]

You take that back

[neat dome]

hope they do something like this, maybe like a singleplayer campaign mode post launch

[prisma bluff]

Most of the community agrees Halo Infinite is the best the franchise has felt gameplay wise since Halo 3.
The lack of content is what has killed it.

[ruby stump]

As much as it sucks.

[mint epoch]

i dont think a price tag even helps because tarkov is riddled with cheaters but idk by what degree

[spark sphinx]

ngl I don't like the strategy of using price to keep cheaters out

like, it technically works, but there are better ways to do it, the gamedev industry is just in a permanent state of reinventing wheels

[tulip rock]

With the art style a single player experience would be sick but I mean I loved Apex and this reminds me of it

[torn yarrow]

Smurfs always gonna smurf tho

[candid kettle]

same but im just excited to actually play it like the alpha is around the corner and the convo always leans into "well what if i dont like this game" like bro theres the door 📲

[ruby stump]

Yeah...

[light scroll]

according to bungies api, 434k people played destiny 2 yesterday across all platforms and regions(besides korea-locked servers)

[fervent badge]

the world of marathon would make a very good story.

[last kelp]

I'm a sucker for pvpve games that aren't based on tarkov and I love the marathon games so this game is right up my alley

[sterile dragon]

it only raises the barrier a little bit they're still gonna exist because of sites like g2a that mass purchase games with stolen credit cards and then sell them for a massive markdown

[mystic juniper]

Odd to publicly reveal the game and release gameplay footage and then make people sign an NDA to not even talk about playing it with friends

[echo flower]

Idk like 12

[rapid forge]

apex F2P just banned 200k players last month

[jaunty quail]

Why you dissin on tarkov :3

[last kelp]

I do not like it, simple as

[paper flax]

This is nothing like old Marathon.

[fickle marsh]

bungie's API
LOL

[ruby stump]

The Tarkov Wiggle

[kind notch]

lol imagine timing someone out for freedom of speech, i'm gonna laugh when this game fails lol

[thin robin]

im not a Good™️ gamer and thus get my shit pushed in during pvp games

[spark sphinx]

it makes perfect sense actually

from a marketing perspective, you want to control how the game is presented until the moment of launch

[echo flower]

The numbers don’t lie Brody. I’m a huge halo fan too, but I can’t lie to myself like that

[candid kettle]

then fight pve and extract?

[rapid forge]

tarkov has cheaters because RMT

[jaunty quail]

man, i wish i had a good enough pc and money to play tarkov in its prime when it had no cheaters :(

[last kelp]

someone never found the gherrit white terminal

[quartz pawn]

is the playtest open already?

[torn yarrow]

All the footage you see, even the stuff the streamers playing reuploaded was heavily scrutinized by Bungie, they could control a handfull of content, they can’t control everyone else

[true knoll]

yes

[thin robin]

oh yeah thats what im planning, dw if i didnt want to try this game i wouldnt be in the server

[ruby stump]

[light scroll]

the correct terminology would be destinys api specifically not bungies api given they have their own api stuff for their website but yes, bungie doesnt lie about player numbers on its api. when the playerbase is low the api reflects that bc its the accurate population numbers. its worth noting that yesterday was a saturday and naturally that day brings higher populations than other days for any game

[mystic juniper]

I get with streaming it on twitch or smth but not even being able to converse with friends or whatever

[prisma bluff]

I'm literally agreeing with you but the reason you put out is just not objectively true lol.
Ironically though Infinite has by far the most content of any Halo game.

[mint epoch]

its still kind of fun despite that. The new event looked sick but i didnt get to try it out.

[ruby stump]

I love [encrypted] it's my favorutie contact info.

[spark sphinx]

yeah. they don't want people leaking shit

[last kelp]

[hyperlink blocked]

[spark stone]

It's not. The game is unfinished and they don't want people complaining about things that will change. It's standard.

[fickle marsh]

If you believe Bungie doesn't lie about the playercount then you must believe Santa is real

[quartz pawn]

?

[half furnace]

This game better suck and blow me

[molten thorn]

you arent trusted with any info. you belong to no faction

[torn yarrow]

More like they don’t want bugs people experience in an alpha to cause uproar of “Game broken, game bad”

[quartz pawn]

so its not open yetl ol

lets be honest. youll probably do it anyways. generally speaking

I checked out some gameplay and it gave me the impression movement is a little slow or stiff, from you ppls` experience does it play like this or does it feel better when playing?

[molten thorn]

There isnt any way to play it right now

[quartz pawn]

i already had im wondering when we will know we are accepted

[tired summit]

2-3 days before alpha start, and during the course of the alpha

[last ingot]

there are reviews of people on youtube claiming they played it

[light scroll]

i believe bungie does lie about playercount in official press releases by leaving out information like obtuse language about a release having "the most preorders ever" but not specifying what that number is

but i do not believe they put false information in the api, an api that updates every few seconds whenever it gets a new call for data and has no history of deliberately false information

[spark sphinx]

like. I've gotten to see some wild shit because I was friends with the right person. it is ABSOLUTELY normal to put a big NDA on this kind of shit bc you never know who's talking to whom

[torn yarrow]

And if they have, in the interest of being invited back they won’t tell you about it.

[mystic juniper]

I'm not saying I will do anything It's just odd so close to release to be so tight lipped when anyone can sign up

[modern cargo]

they played at an event

[ruby stump]

People were invited to a play test, big youtubers, content creators at an event, physically.

[torn yarrow]

Some may even say… massive

[last ingot]

awesome

[spark sphinx]

also if they're willing to lie via the API you have bigger problems

[mint epoch]

Yeah its a steep price. Some of the streamers i watch have been advocating for buffing standard accounts to even the playing field because unheard just makes life easier

[hasty sundial]

Getting started on our marathon api project tonight, gonna have everything ready to plug in for launch day

[light scroll]

yeah lying via api is like the dumbest possible way to lie cause of how frequently it updates, that would require so much work and constant upkeep to trick like 5 people lol

[rapid forge]

why would talking about bugs publicly be beneficial for them lol, its all supposed to be reported back to them not speculated about when its not even finished.

[jaunty quail]

when i recently heard about marathon, i was repulsed by the cartoony/kiddy graphics style

[fickle marsh]

Bungie got called out countless times because every platform except xbox IIRC, has a way to see the actual playercount. So far in the most popular one like Steamcharts Destiny has been doing like dogwater for a long time, cannot even get into the top 80 anymore even with all the changes.

Again, Santa is not real, nor is Bungie's information.

[jaunty quail]

but then decided maybe to try it when it comes out

[crude sequoia]

People in here just not understanding NDAs and game development 😂

[rapid forge]

fr

[torn yarrow]

Cause they absolutely have closed channels for people to report that in, and going public about it just gives people an easy way to attack the game

[ruby stump]

Yeah, not great...

[spark sphinx]

also if they have an API and are manipulating the data it delivers you can't trust their software, like, at all

that's the point at which you start asking questions about what Destiny 2 might be doing on your PC without telling you!

[humble bison]

The PvE mode for Tarkov is pretty fun if you’re concerned about cheaters.

[tropic siren]

That’s like 95% gamers

[spark sphinx]

it's utterly ridiculous

[fickle marsh]

people don't read, the first thing you see when you log for the alpha testing is the NDA and not streaming once you apply for it lol

[light scroll]

playstation and xbox do not give out player population numbers much, playstation and xbox occasionally give player statistics but usually only for larger press releases and only for 1-2 games at a time

[mint epoch]

especially if you get the unoffical mod

[rapid forge]

for trusted playtesters.....dur

[ocean shadow]

i came to terms with the fact this is prob necessary and we'll get a more international closed beta soon

It feels too depressing to play now though lol, it quickly became one of my most played games on Steam but it took way too long for the content to finally start rolling.
