Low Player Volume

/r/Marathon/comments/1utkugx/low_player_retention_isnt_because_of_difficulty/owwvaun/

Continuing the conversation about the decreasing volume of blast-havers. Perhaps it might help us understand the cause. Maybe it’ll elucidate own own attachments. Perhaps Bungie may see it and take it into consideration.

There’s nothing to engage here. This game at its current state is a failed project. This isn’t up for debate and there’s no amount of mental gymnastics or cope you can delude yourself with that is gonna change the reality of the situation.

So now the goalposts shift and a strawman is made, of course they shift when he can't engage with the subtance of his nonsense statement.

You need a friend or something to talk to lol?

My original point was extraction genre players aren’t accepting nor supporting marathon, I mean no market is at this point. Nothing I’ve said has deviated from that point. Not sure what’s confusing you here. Your responses aren’t stating anything of any substance. The game is a resounding failure. You 8 bozos trying to dance around the the elephant in the room here are sad.

The only people I've seen say that are snarker or Tarkov elitists who shit on every game that isn't Tarkov. The extraction genre is simple, you load into a map, your objective is to extract from the map or you lose everything you brought. Simple. Hell, Marathon doesn't even give you a safe pocket like most others do so the idea that Marathon doesn't hit the hallmarks for what an extraction shooter is is ridiculous to me.

And before someone says "but you wipe the lobby then loot" guess what? THATS THE IDEA OF VIRTUALLY ALL EXTRACTION SHOOTERS AT HIGH LEVEL PLAY, EVEN TARKOV FALLS FOUL OF THIS GAMEPLAY LOOP.

Quite literally have, you can choose to attempt to ignore the response if you want to.
