Lmao less AAA games? What orifice did you pull that from?

I didn't say "less", I said fewer because I'm not retarded.

So, your big brain take is that losing money on this leads to MOAR AAA. Ok roll with that then professor.

So wait fewer and less don't mean the same thing?

 

[Brock2621]

According to insiders the shift has already begun but the results will take time.

Oh snap really? I hadn't heard this. Thank goodness. GaaS literally wasted this ENTIRE generation.

Do you have tweet or link to this rumor you heard by chance? Was it from anyone legit?

Grammar what is it

 

[Cumulus]

I'm not sure how Marathon will last when its DLC skin is this horrible.

The last thing you see before the roofies kick in and you faintly hear "I wonder if my whole fist fits in there"

 

[Aressa]

Not every1, just like with concord 1 and 2, we got few gaffers who swear on their momma's virginity game is actually amazing, but logically can u really believe those individuals?

Yeah Concord situation was wild. The goalposts shifted so much they went outside the stadium.

We all know the answer to that question. It's also patently false. Plenty of great AAA games exist outside of Western trash:

• RE 9 just released
• Tides of Annihilation
• Onimusha
• Crimson Desert
• Phantom Blade Zero

I'm so glad China and South Korea have entered the industry. I can just point and laugh at bloated Western studios churning out dog shit and just play Asian games lol.

I said 80k in the prediciton thread, so close!

 

[ThroatPie]

Only two people on my friends list are playing right now out of 26 online. The two that are playing are die hard bungie fanatics who I ran clans either in D1 and 2. More are online playing Arc than Marathon. I have a lot of friends on PS due to Destiny and adding people and whatnot. Tomorrow night when there's 120+ online I'll be able to see how many are playing from a small but still good representation sample size.

[Tiago Rodrigues]

The hate this game has gotten since before even it was revealed is weird as fuck.

 

[FoxMcChief]

Marathon calling all its California connections to try and save it.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Currently at 86,000.

If this game skews heavy to USA east coast, it might pick up next few hours as that's peak game time after dinner. But doubtful it'll break 100k even if that happens.

It won't. I'm willing to bet Men_in_Boxes 's account.

 

[BennyBlanco]

StS2 more than doubled Marathon CCU now. Over 200k.

and this is why they are porting it to PS4 and Xbox One

get as many potential buyers as possible

Mmm nope, not at all. All the evidence is there to understand it.

My god you are fucking insufferable.

 

[cash_longfellow]

At the very least, if this game isn't on PS plus within the next 9 months, I'll be shocked.

Huh, this shit is long gone in 9 months.

 

[Kacho]

StS2 more than doubled Marathon CCU now. Over 200k.

Man that is hysterical.

 

[MagiusNecros]

The track record for Extraction Shooter longevity is not great. Being sandwiched between RE9 and Slay the Spire 2 also not great.

 

[dgproject]

Weekend numbers will tell the whole story, but for now, I think it's not bad for $40 gaas starting games.

Of course Sony/Bungie have higher expectations, so fingers crossed of they will shutdown it early or not.

 

[Warnen]

Not my type of game but watched my brother playing it on ps5 pro and boy it looks neat. He seems to like it.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

My god you are fucking insufferable.

1.Destiny players that feel abandoned; Destiny 2 state + Controversies and Marathon taking resources away of an hypothetical Destiny 3.

2. Play Station players haters of the GaaS initiative.

3. Bungie being woke as fuck.

4. People who are done with hero and extraction shooters.

5. (incredibly small, almost insignificant) people genuinely caring for the plagiarism

Am I wrong?....

 

[Saber]

Seems like Palpatine activated operation "calling hate" as a defense mechanism. Expect this to be spammed for a time.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

86.1% for the reviews. Quite the update. Sounds like a smooth release.

Yes, the game looks fine. I don't know what the point is in hoping the game flops, especially when hundreds of people might lose their jobs in the process.

 

[Success]

Sad to see Marathon flop, but the game looks so much more bland and boring compared to Arc Raiders.

There is a real chance the game will be in maintenance mode in 6 months.

Picturing a group of people pressing F5 on steamdb hoping for the numbers to go down every 5 minutes sounds depressing af but oh well... we all do with our time what we want lol.

They will probably try revert this situation abit by going for plan B and releasing on other plataforms.
I don't think it will help that much though. Still believe it will cost massive cuts there.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

Also this:


Marathon's final graphics aren't "peak" nor "aura farming" they still look unfinished, they don't make justice to the concept art and cinematics... In fact, the cinematics are being used to compensate for somehting...

I think this game's shallowness will become more evident as time passes. That CCU will start to struggle if Bungie is unable to address the complaints

 

[DryvBy]

why is everyone rooting for this to fail? I haven't been paying attention to the "discourse".

Because they think the graphics are ugly, they can't fap to any females, and they want Sony to bomb. I've even seen people claim its woke somehow and I'm still trying to find what is exactly woke.

 

[ByWatterson]

Never forget that at least one third of this board doesn't like video games.

Some of the people here. Instead of celebrating a good launch, they want to bring nonsense stuff.

Hope you guys get some help.

ChorizoPicozo do you play video games? Or are you a political guy? WTF are you on man.

 

[Saber]

Thats actually good news. Maybe it means drastic cuts on the incetives make more GaaS projects.

 

[Topher]

That's encouraging

 

[Plague Doctor]

S SneakersSO is a solid gaf insider.

If true, definitely a step in the right direction.

We just got to see what is meant by "What folks preferred from them" translates to meaning to the studio leads.

That's the rub.
