Marathon Anonymous 04/17/2025 (Thu) 19:13:00 Id: a314ba No. 1117696
now that (previous) /v/ is gone I can be honest: yes I saw the nuMarathon and genuinely think it has potential I liked the visuals, some of the gameplay, the music and I can tell it's going to build up on the lore from the previous games. also it's making me want to play the older games too just for the previous reason >it's an extraction shooter yea I know, always wanted to try that anyway discuss and post images NOW
>>1140703 >I don't get why people want proximity chat in the game. Have you played a fucking extraction shooter?
>>1140970 After watching this I'm pretty sure i don't want to play it. Bungie is dead.
>>1140970 >>1143572 No one wants to play it and no one here cares for Kiketubers shilling it.
>>1143587 Proximity chat is too memetic. It's a vibe killer.
>>1144048 That one specific youtuber saying 'where does it fit' is basically just reading points off a dot point list of things Bungie told him to say. It looks so aggressively markety and he's really not making it stand out as something unique either. Second video is the correct take saying it's just cashing in on a name that has no resemblance to the OGs
>>1144207 >youtuber saying 'where does it fit' is basically just reading points off a dot point list That video brings up a good point. >https://youtu.be/NZqoVNjfOHo?t=1133

>>1117772 Though Marathon is borderline fruity it at least has the leg up on Concord or Deadlock in the character design department. No self-insert old ladies, obese ogres or non-buy-nary shit.
>>1117696 You're a genuine retard for believing bungie will do anything good after the shitshow that's destiny 2 they're the only company that deserve layoffs and getting absorbed by sony >t. destinyfag

>>1145333 I hope Sony just spit them out honestly. That probably seems weird since I just said it looked better than two contemporaries but I actually don't even regard most of these PCsister skinner boxes as gaming at all, full disclosure.
>>1145333 >t. destinyfag Playing Destiny 1 solo was a miserable experience, none of the raids or DLC was approachable. Your shit game was not some masterpiece when it couldn't even tell it's own story in the actual game. But in a FUCKING PHONE APP. You Destinyfags are gen Z no doubt with your low fucking standards.
>>1145479 As long they fire them first and keep the destiny IP hostage i want no leftover from bungie to touch it again >>1145575 your problem for not asking people on the tower for help your problem for buying a coop game with no friends >bitching about the grimoire stories bungie listened to retards like you and look at how bad the story is now
>>1140696 Some zoom-zooms are suckers for mediocre online shooters with predatory MTX. Look how many people on the board unironically like Destiny since the recent refugee surge.
>>1140970 Oh, it's the guy who sucked off Forever Winter the rebranded shitty crypto game made by niggers.
>>1117696 The CGI trailer looked impressive, but the gameplay trailer wasted no time exposing the charade and revealing just how lifeless the actual game really is.

>>1145703 >i want no leftover from bungie to touch it again Or any "veteran CoD devs". kek I'm not completely closed mined about shooters honestly, it just needs to be something that finds a gap in the market and doesn't gouge me. Helldivers II is good. It's just that in the Never Ever days people would tell me "Japanese games are dead", "niche", "one and done" and then wanted to blame me for shit like Concord but Pepperidge Snoy remembers. I've been on about this flavour of slop since LawBreakers in think, I knew Concord would be shit before ever seeing a character.
>>1140970 Not watching this shit, explain to me whats appealing. It looks like a shittier halo with barebones gameplay
>Tarkov at home. I seriously think the game will die in less than a year. People will play the FOTM slop and then move on.
>>1117696 The trailers and key art are amazing but the actual in-game art is so fucking bad. I don't understand why they slapped that anti-soul gas over what is supposed to be a very clean F1 aesthetic. I haven't played extraction shooters and I don't think it's a concept that has been explored enough yet so I don't mind them having a go at it but the gameplay just looks like a generic whatever ADS shooter with bad MMO-lite design sensibilities. A lot of good potential ruined by lazy execution.

>>1148973 >the actual in-game art is so fucking bad They had the perfect blueprint with Mirror's Edge and its sequel but instead they make it all murky and ugly. It should look shiny and reflective with a little bit of smudges. Instead it looks like everything is unfinished and dull.
>>1151320 >Halo >Destiny >Marathon Bungie seriously just trying to copyright random words from the dictionary, huh. No originality.

>>1144117 >sneaking up on a player to whisper, yell, or say something funny in their ear isn't a vibe Nice try. The whole point of extraction shooters is to sneak around, build up a loadout, then hunt players who have less. That shit is inherently not friendly engagement. Even in a team you all take turns dunking on enemy players if you're equipped and know how to ambush.
The game is DOA and if the rumours of Destiny content creators, secretly hating the fuck out of the game is true. Then even the shills can only pretend.
>>1126291 >i at least think the new artstyle has alot of merit despite being a departure from the originals artstyle looks like when you're building something in LEGO and run out of a certain color.
>>1151451 I'm not saying this derivative trash looks good, but anyone that liked Destiny cant be trusted
>>1151373 >copyright random words All the words hold significant historical and mythic value. Halo obviously is biblically referencing the Angels who destroyed Saddam and Gomorrah the same way Halo Rings can wipe entire solar systems of life. Destiny is all about using luck and chance and fate to win. Marathon was an ancient battle between Athens and Persians. That said Bungie naming their new game SIMPLY Marathon again when they already made Marathon in 1994 is fucking LAZY.
The game itself is almost assuredly going to underperform, I'm not sure who the fuck thought people wanted a Marathon extraction shooter instead of a singleplayer game, but whatever.
>>1126291 marathon is in the same genre as concord REALLY. the genre is called out of touch gen X produced multiplayer slop that millennial troon devs are abusing to spread The Message instead of making a successful product. the idea that this one is "extraction" and the other one was... some kinda Overwatch clone, I guess? totally inconsequential, doesn't matter at all. what matters is that both games are designed for a fictional modern audience that wants gay and ugly things in a sanitized multiplayer environment with no voice chat etc. it's globohomo, it's gay and it's going to flop. >>1145300 anon... what did you see? it couldn't have been the game. the game is full of literal troon characters. it's as "non-binary" as it gets. even people shilling it are openly talking about how it's "androgynous" and such. it's made by trannies for trannies.

>>1133243 damn that would've been cool they're probably even only trying to into that flat style because of performance concerns
>>1151591 My point is that even Destiny fags can't pretend to like this.
>>1151320 >they make it all murky and ugly I think they made it with HDR in mind. I watched gameplay trailer on oled TV and it was significantly more bright and vibrant.

>>1152598 >they made it with HDR in mind How can they get the coveted billions of sales if they make the game for only people that own OLED or have good looking HDR functions? Do they seriously think people are going to buy OLED for this ONE GAME?
>>1131844 >but you're saying that like it isn't the norm. I mean, to be fair there are only like a dozen extraction shooters on the market, and all the paid ones outside of Tarkov and Hunt are basically dead. Let's not forget the Starsiege one that died so hard it got pulled from digital stores.
>>1154131 I agree that it is a small pond with a couple of big fish in it, I just thought calling it paid was a dumb contextless dunk. There are way more things I'm concerned about with how the game is gonna turn out. Bungie has to do a lot of legwork to make in dejewsustomizable guns whereas milsim extraction shooters just have to copy all of the work that was done by actual firearms manufacturers. If the game doesn't have the breadth of customization that Tarkov and Arena Breakout Infinite has Bungie is missing a big part of what makes these games fun. Another issue is the extent of how much decision there is outside of your weapons. If what I heard from some of the alpha testers have said is true, there isn't any gear outside of the guns and customzing them? Armor, healing items, drugs, food, ammo, these are all things that really definite the progression in extraction shooters and if Marathon doesn't have these then it's gonna turn out a lot more like Apex Legends than it is Tarkov.
If they do little puzzles and lore Easter eggs in the same way CoD zombies did a decade ago, it’ll be kino der toten.

>>1154104 >do they seriously think No, I don't think so.
Actually, this game is too spooky. I’m not playing it anymore. https://youtube.com/watch?v=Gx8PJbzlGbs
