Surprised there are so many of them. Most people I saw around here laughed at another Concord or called it an eye-rape faggot clownfest. It's possible to circumvent the tapir error (I played D2 after it started affecting Russian players), but at this point why would I or anyone else care? If they are so trigger-happy to ban entire regions, there's no guarantee that some other country can't randomly get banned because their government had a spat with their American overlord.

Even if Marathon surpasses Arc's server slam numbers, I can't imagine that the playerbase survives long term because it seems extremely sweaty.

Just as I predicted the AI is still retarded like D2 they just made bullet sponges to give the illusion of difficulty just like how they turned up the movement speed on the Not!Psions to make them appear more threatening.

>>558687864
They actually made the AI dumber than it was in the playtests, lmao
There's a massive resource drain.

>>558687974
When I played in the original alpha the AI couldn't recognise me behind destrucible glass but when I went to an open window it would start shooting and the moment I went back to the destructible window it couldn't comprehend it and stopped shooting.

>>558687864
kek i saw that as well, AI just rushed and killed him

>>558687974
You dont even get shit for killing ai, people are just going to avoid them entirely

My thoughts so far is that marathon would have fucking popped big time if it was anything else but a fucking extraction shooter/battle royale. If it was like a halo CoD deal where you got a campaign, multiplayer, and survival mode it'd be pretty good.

Too many players will be killed too often, get frustrated and bail on the game. For a game that needs to be a fairly big success, it sure is feeling sweaty

seeing content sloppers and other retards dooming about destiny kind of makes a little disgusted and a lot annoyed
not because they are dooming, they should be dooming, but because they're dooming about the absolute state of this game NOW. and asking for D3? are they for real? what the fuck would D3 fix at this point? absolutely nothing, they should've been clamoring for it 5 years ago
they must've gotten the memo from cozmo or dmg or some shit. doom now, say some shit about D3, and then when the big update comes it'll be the fourth coming of forsaken (bitch queen was the 2nd, and final slop the 3rd coming)

Literally 10 minutes of empty buildings with the occasional 1 or 2 enemies

>>558690198
With something like Arc Raiders, the appeal is something like beautiful UE5 visuals mixed with unique enemy movements/AI and the fact that constant voice interactions make the game unpredictable every time. You may make a friend or you could end up getting ganked. Couple that with Aggressive Rating Match Making to sort out casuals from PvP loving players and you have a winner. With Tarkov and Hunt Showdown, they were the originators and offered something unique in a BR predominated field at the time. Marathon though, I don't know. It appeals to only the sweatiest of sweats so far.

>>558688993
They are 100% rushing out an update before Season 2 launches, making it more like Division's Dark Zone to desperately keep casuals.

First impressions are important, just like with Highguard we're seeing a "crashing headfirst against the wall" effect, people are already getting burned out of the low TTK, Trials-like PvP oriented gameplay and scarce essential loot like ammo and such. The playercount is dropping already and I feel this is the top, not many of these numbers will translate to actual purchases either.

Clearly the names were applied on the general Bungie backend and they didn't bother testing the flow beforehand. They need to do a full server rollback or give everyone a name change token again.

Is this real?

I’m somebody who likes these kinds of games will basically play any FPS , this is a tough one . It’s not the worst of ideas,I “get” a lot of what Bungie was trying to do but not having a lobby full of employees prodded to go get into fights and cause a stir sorta kicks down a lot of the illusions. We also know how good Bungie is at balancing and Triage being like a borderline mandatory pick is a bit annoying and I also not am not shocked Thief is off limits to hide away more broken bullshit. The combat feels awkward and I get it’s not going to be more high intensity ability spam but it’s too easy to smoke other teams that took a fraction of damage. I thought the alpha test footage of people awkwardly circling around each other was just unrefined edges but yeah that kinda fuckery is how it can go. The fact this was a major delayed game and there’s not a ton else that’s waiting for us is a bit of a joke. Oh boy brute force my way into cryo labs to jerk around in a total shit fest

Dylan groaned in pain as the WAR CHIEF'S mighty SIVA-enhanced cock slid in and out of his now loose and sloppy asshole. He'd long run out of tears to cry and his mind was in a haze. One moment he'd been jamming and building momentum and the next thing he knew The Team™ was dead and a hulking monstrosity had torn his clothes apart and begun having his way with the poor community manager. Soon, Escharum's thrusts began to hasten. "Atriox, your will is served!" he roared as gallons of cum flooded dmg's insides. The force of the orgasm was so powerful that semen began pouring out of the community manager's eye sockets, killing him instantly.

"Hohoho, unworthy after all. Let us see if the narrative team puts up more of a fight."

Congrats Marafags, turns out that it wasn't a good idea to call people out for wanting their "Arc carebear hugbox". When your game is sweatfest with terrible UI, it doesn't attract people to your game.

>>558708858

>>558709321
while it's f2p too. all roads lead to floptown

i wonder what the sentiment is at bungie

>>558709054
Bungie's only hope is that it goes up soon, because its almost 3PM on the west coast. But to that one Ruskie D2 anon, you can tell the others that nuMarathon just isn't worth losing your mind over. It's not anger-inducing bad, but pretty bland and forgettable and I doubt the hook improves. It just really makes me wish I was playing Div1 or 2's Dark Zone, or Hunt Showdown over this.

>>558709560
popping champagne and sniffing their own farts

It's 3pm on a Thursday in Seattle right now, the central hub of Bungie diehards. They'll be off work and logging in anywhere from three to four hours from now. I think there's going to be a bump of approximately 50k, once the west coast log-ins outpace the rest of the world choosing to log off. The playercount might climb back up to peak, but this will be the last time it does. No one will play this weekend, just like everyone quit playing last time.

The hair put on my balls when being deep in the asshole of that one subway tunnel dungeon like area in the Div1 dz was great . Now that was how you had a provoked war among pvpve, get some yellow named fucker with goons going ape shit and you got somebody rogue trying to be big shit and the adds are just a bit overbearing. Had things like a war

Xisters you probably remember me the guy who has a few clanmates who wait for Datto videos to have an opinion, said it was the population’s fault for “not seeing the forest through the trees” in regards to portal, tiers and leveling changes and other apologism, they are in absolute shambles right now. One guy who literally will throat Truman’s bald weiner rage quit and is basically having an autistic melt down where his fanboy sensibilities are pulling a part from how much he really doesn’t like Marathon. He kept saying, this should’ve been a seasonal D2 mode tops. This is somebody I’m pretty sure had holes drilled in the worm plushie and kept saying how Bungie is cooking, like I can only be so much of a snarky bitch but seeing this guy in shambles after calling me a negative hater for so long for not liking recent Destiny is making me smile a little

I still don't get why you have to wait to reveal certain items in Marathon, why do we need a progression tree for this shit.

They had THREE invite only tests
One in-person only with tarkov players, which they all said the game was ass and not worth switching over
Multiple people said it wasn't worth it to kill destiny for this, they had the chance to outplay Arc Raiders by making a PvE mode only but they stubbornly decided not to
I eagerly await for the singleplayer campaign after Sony kneecap the entire studio for fucking it up

I hope Aztecross is being paid for this shit, because it's frustrating that every single encounter boils down to being killed on sight from other players.

No it's not. They need numbers better than Destiny's peak and they couldn't do it during FREE access.

alri la
josh from brit/pol/ here
the notorious reshade demaker / pixellator spasmoid from multiple generals
my verdict?
extremely cool concept, extremely cool aesthetic
the tutorial was fun, but the only really fun thing about it was the aesthetic
gear is boring, combat is boring, movement feels clunky. the double jump / sprint cooldowns feel awful
it feels like they've tried to artficially slow the game down to a crawl because of the lack of actual content
and thats why they've put so much effort into aesthetic too
like once they establish the aesthetic and put their all into that they only have you give you minimal content
but there's literally nothing to do
even with seasonal unlocks and stuff like that, the content will be minimal
so idgi
I feel like this game could've been the destiny killer if they made it pve bounty / objective focused with a storyline instead of just a boring treasure hunt
basically this feels like a game I'll pop in to play every now and again just to see whats new but will probably quit after a couple of days
kinda want a refund for the pre-purchase already as well I'm ngl
they could have cooked with this but its about as bland as the brit/pol/ polish paedophile's dog food tier scrannage

Not for a free test of a paid game, less than 50% of the current players are likely to translate to sales and the game is already dropping fast from top 10.

>>558721471
Keep pushing through sister
Maybe inject some HRT to get the knowledge flowing

>>558721471
no they've just designed the game so that you have to slow your gameplay to a crawl to compensate for the lack of actual content. and that can throw you off at first with how things can turn around on you super quickly

>>558721471
You have to pretend you're playing a slow tactical game and hide behind cover most of the time. There's no cover system or lean btw, have fun! The Marathon comeback needs to be studied. #MarathonPartner

>they should've done this with Marathon
>they should've gone that with Marathon
No what they should've done is not done Marathon at all. The irony that they could've made a massive expansion for D2 after TFS instead of End of Service and Rape-agades. They not only would've made more money they could've sold it at a way higher price like $60-70 for just the base expansion with it being like $120 for the annual pass. Its honestly mind boggling why they would think trying to sell Marathon at $40 in an incredibly niche genre instead of just dropping a big expansion for their flagship title. Instead they let D2 rot to put out Maraflop. RAPE BUNGIE

>>558722614
Exactly, if they cancelled Marathon when they had the chance, they could be just about ready to ship Destiny 3 by now. I wouldn't trust them to make it at this point with the people they have, but people would at least be excited for it. Nobody would be like "oooh i want to like Destiny 3 but it's a loot shooter".

>>558722783
The problem with a D3 is now Marathon has proven that no matter what feedback they get they will arrogantly trudge on with "their vision" for the game when its objectively dog shit. This is why D2Y1 was so ass because they thought what they were making was good. It took them almost going under for them to put back in basic features they had in D1. Now with EoF they repeated the same shit again and are now scrambling to put back in features they already had. Guaranteed D3 on release would have some ass backwards shit like the tiered loot shit and the portal.

After about 2 to 3 hours it feels like its just up to luck as to whether or you do well or not, compared to something like Hunt. Sometimes you'll get raped by a bunch of UESC robots, and not because they're hard to fight but because they have higher shields and you have low ammo. And sometimes you of course get shitted on by a ratplayer that was trailing you.
Its also what makes the PvP part so unfun. Yeah it can be fun to get one over on someone that was trying to fuck you over and then extract, but I also don't get any glee from killing some random player that feels like they didn't have much of a chance of fighting back. And it's hard not to kill on sight because every single encounter with another player ends up in a gunfight, even on PS5. You learn very quickly that there is zero point in trying to communicate as a solo player, which is why the Arc playerbase is going to drop the beta after this Friday.

>but the game kind of is for tryhards
at least Ross finally admits it.

>>558724046
Bingle will implement Peace Rule where the first 15 minutes of a match you can't hurt other players. This will foster friendships.

Watching someone play marathon and I unironically like the environment, it reminds me of Titan. Gun sfx sound nice, the enemy NPCs look cool. It just looks fucking boring because it's an extraction shooter where nothing happens, such a boring genre. Shoulda copied halo. Sp campaign with mp and additional modes from btb to ctf and stuff with a focus on fun sandbox interactions and vehicular combat. It's not like this is hard.

I like scav gameplay but this is ASS.

count increasing again
marathon won.

I just played my first match and I'm pretty sure my teammates were bots. They never sprinted and never looted anything, seemingly never ran out of ammo while I'm always low. Maybe they were ninja looting or some shit cause they weren't permanently in my view, but I thought the no sprinting thing was weird as fuck. No one plays games like that
