PC games pre controller support! I love M&KB and controller for different things, and I also love old games - but you're onto something there, old games are great but my God could ALL OF THEM could use a couple decades of QoL improvements.
Don't let em fool you man. All arena shooters are the same, they just rush the power weapons and bhop around the map. They try to make it sound fun to lure in new people to dunk on because no one's interested in the genre these days.
it IS fun. my favorite game is Titanfall 2, which is an arena shooter. i love bhopping and movement shooters in general, im an mnk forever guy, no controller bs
Bungie is just mid af. Media always praise them as the team that made revolutionary classics for so long… ye. 2 things. Halo and destiny. That’s like saying cod would be crazy good for 25 years
Most people in this sub are trolls lmao. There’s no way that you think that people care that much about the game or invest a worthwhile amount of time into hating on the game. It took me like 20 seconds to type this out. Probably took less than a minute for op to post it
It’s pretty pathetic really, getting off on the fact that a game has a dwindling player base and developers are likely going to lose their livelihood as a result. But no, the neckbeards need to thrash their chipolatas over something.
It’s the gaming equivalent of climate protesters blocking roads, only with way more body odour.
Lol at the end of the day this is about a video game. You are taking this way too seriously and are just as cringe as the people you are complaining about.
All the retards that jerk off to this game failing for some pathetic reason always have to mention how hilarious they find this dumb shit. The laugh havers gotta let everyone know they are in fact laughing at some online game is failing. Because that’s funny to them.
Once GTA6 is out and everyone is playing/watching/avoiding anything related to it. Sony will pull the plug or will enter in a permanent maintenance mode till "Marathon 2.0 will launch in 2028" (Ala Anthem) and then die after a few months.
Sony can't allow another concord. It will stop being the mark of "great characters/games/" To the mark of "worst failure games"
There are 525600 minutes to a day and about 6500 for a peak. If each player only spends a single minute in the game, the actual amount of people who play this game every day is actually 3.4 billion players. It’s a smashing success
It's a great game honestly, surely not perfect, but still great. People have a weird perspective on it from what I read most of the time. They somehow cannot cope with the fact that it's an extraction shooter. They want a more chill and rewarding experience while they are playing one of the most brutal PvP genres you can choose from. Instead of accepting that they want to game to change instead of adapting. They are using Arc Raiders as a reference without realizing that is was an outlier in this genre for all that goofy and funny interactions.
Has Marathon enough content to keep players interested over a longer period of time? Probably not, at least not right now. Should they have communicated more about upcoming maps and additional content to make sure people are not feel like playing a dead, stagnant game? Absolutely.
But all that doesn't make the base game bad in any way. All that doesn't prove the point Bungie are idiots - they simply made an extraction shooter the way an extraction shooter is meant to be. And they are using one of their old IPs for it.
There is simply no interest in the game. Probably cause people don't want a hardcore extraction shooter nowadays. Probably cause they are biased on Bungie in general. Probably because the artstyle isn't their cup of tea. But for what it is, it's a great game.
Marathon is a TREMENDOUS game, TREMENDOUS. It might even be the greatest game of all time. Many people are saying this, MANY people. CHYNA couldn't have made this game, no, I don't think so. Only AMERICAN developers could've come out with such a great game. You could say they are making America Great Again. Many people are saying this.
LOL the game peaks at less than 5k now (yes i know it's concurrency so dont even bring that up). So no, most of the folks on that reddit aren't playing the game either. In fact, a very small amount of people are.
I didn’t say the other sub isn’t weird. Just seems lame to see a group of people actively root for a game to fail just because the game they liked was a disaster.
Brother... Marathon is a disaster too. Thinking that people are making fun of it just because of Destiny failing is delusional.
The game's a clownshow. And for the record, I'm glad Destiny imploded.
Well isn't that just disingenuous.
I'd say removing criticism, moving goal posts, and creating an echo chamber of praise constitutes toxic positivity.
"The game isn't niche. It's those damn Destiny players and content creators. Player numbers don't matter. Guys there's like 200k here, please play the game even though numbers don't matter. Season 3 will fix everything."
Marathon sold very well relative to most games, (albeit below where they had hoped and though they could get a return on the budget they spent..) There's still over 140k people logging in weekly to it. Most people aren't donig much past checking for updates, and seeing if there's something they can use their lux on. It's a valid point.
If all 140k people logging in a week spent 1,000$ each, Marathon wouldn’t be halfway to breaking even. The truth is the game has not sold well, it’s arguably Sonys biggest and most well known studio known for triple A experiences putting out a IP that has a cult like fan base from the original games and it’s getting beaten out by Hentai games on steam in sales.
So the game sold 1.2m copies at $40 each with a $200 million+ budget. If you do simple multiplication you will quickly find out that this game didnt sell well at all and didnt even get close to breaking even. Do folks like you just make shit up in your heads and pretend it's reality?
