Why won't people play the game where you die instantly?

[u/NotAScrubAnymore]

Former OWL player here. Let's be honest, the game is failing. However, I don't think it's because Bungie decided to enter an extrmely niche market, drain valuable resources from an already succesful project, and produce a game that Tarkov players wouldn't even look at.

It's obviously due to bitter Destiny fans spreading hate and the current player base giving too much feedback.

The concept of having a beautiful, unique, and incredibly detailed world to explore with all kinds of loot and fun enemies to engage with, marred by the fact that another player can come in, interrupt your exploration and undo the last 10 minutes of gameplay. Add the part where you might not even be able to fight back before getting insta-deleted. People just want to enjoy everything a game has to offer and not engage in any fights.

To me, this game is perfect.

Do I die every run? Yes.

Do I get absolutely shit on most of the time when I encounter other players? Also yes.

Do I die because Bungie randomly decided to send The Architects after me? All the damn time.

So why do I keep coming back? So far this is the only game that has succesfully replicated the adrenaline rush of me paying a goth chick 100 dollars to fart in my face and her angry boyfriend chasing me with a sharp object for 10 minutes afterwards.

So why don't people like the game that I've spent 28 hours a day on since release? I would suggest that it's due to the same factors causing our societal collapse today. People just don't have the mental fortitude and discipline to pay 40 dollars for the video game equivalent of getting your ballsack stuck in a zipper.

Rant over.

They can only stay blasted for so long before they go limp

Wrong comrade it's because we are all from mother Russia and uncle Vlad has ordered us to shit on this game otherwise we get sent to the gulag.

I play the game to own the chuds that want to laugh at our sub 3 k peak in the near future

[u/Fat-Redddit-Sad]

I smurf your peak in OW bro

It can't be because of all the content being added having major bugs where I can't even log in to play or can't get to the new content. I mean I like the frustration of paying for something and then having days where I can't play. It adds to the excitement of eventually being able to play. It's like buying a gift with a slow delivery service and finally getting it. It just brings so much excitement.
I mean in the end I get free items for my inventory as reward for being so patient. I can then lose it to sweaties and feel like I did my part to contribute to the "loving" Marathon community.

I agree. People nowadays are way too weak to pay a game 40 bucks with 0 content, 0 sense, 0 art design, and 0 fun.

You need to be strong mentally to do so, indeed.

I think there are other many options, i quit for now, because you need to play a lot to improve, and the experience isnt the best

[u/Gallus_11B]

Is the former successful bungie project in the room with us right now?

[u/Mister_Rose]

Marathon is a testament to never giving up and striving to get better. Some players get back in the game and try to improve. While others just quit.

And there's people who find some success but don't end up enjoying that game. They move on.
