So much videogame discourse is just fans of chocolate ice cream telling people who like strawberry ice cream why strawberry ice cream is inferior to chocolate.

Strawberry ice cream is objectively better than chocolate and people who prefer chocolate are pigs.

This can't be real. I sincerely hope they are all laid off and never return to videogame dev again.

Playing that card? A AAA developer Vs small studios, 800 plus employee's Vs 50 at the start of development of Arc Raiders to about 350 now. Loomy or Loopy? Clarky is in full on denial stage but you still have hope, I think

You are missing the point either because you have a hard time with reading or you're being intentionally obtuse.

It doesn't matter what developer makes a new extraction shooter. There's going to be ~4 maps at launch with any of them. The new PUBG extraction shooter is apparently going to launch with only 1 map. Pretty sure they're over 1k staff.

In your perfect dream the impossible dream world, how many maps would Marathon have launched with?

How can i be in denial about playing a game i like? You are in denial that people may like something you don't.

But then again how do you know you don't like something youve never tried?

You are an idiot that is not worth having an adult discussion with.

Your comparison is completely floored because you can't count, Marathon only has 3 love forget what I said you're in full on denial as well.

The only clown is you pal. You have no experience of the game.

At least I play before I decide its not for me while accepting others may like it.

Dude....4th map held back because there is a level floor of 25. I said that already. It's been added to the map selection screen and it's out most likely after tomorrow's update, but we've known since before launch the 4th raid like map would be out before the end of March.

So how many maps do you think an extraction shooter should launch with to be considered fully featured?

Some guy in the other thread said 10-15 lol . These guys have no fucking clue

 

[clarky]

Boys you are arguing in bad faith. Its a waste of time you could be playing Marathon.

 

[SpokkX]

Having put more time into the game. It is really fun and well made - but just like Destiny 1 it feels like we are immediately waiting for more stuff. Exciting in a way - but if nothing comes... well that is a real issue

I've only played the first 2 maps mostly in 70 hours. The draw is the PVP.

Content isn't an issue.

 

[StueyDuck]

Hey now guys, we all know its literally illegal for an extraction shooter to launch with more than 4 maps.

Devs have been executed on the spot for merely suggesting such a silly idea.

 

[Arsic]

Old Bungie made Halo: CE, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo 3: ODST, and Halo: Reach in roughly a 10-year span.

New Bungie has spent nearly the same amount of time releasing Destiny 2 expansions… and a three-map multiplayer shooter. So beyond cooked for Sony.

The only company doing things like that are CoD. But they have multiple studios rotating the franchise , more people than anyone in the biz, and yet players still complain it's the same shit every year with a new coat of paint.

It's more like the industry changed, and consumer expectations along with it a LONG time ago.

But please pop off king and yell at them clouds back in your day bull shit.

If you are coming with an argument at least know what you are talking about.

6 year development cycle game is aimed at a niche audience that isn't you. Do the math.

Would you rather a game that tries to please everyone that end up pleasing no one?

Exactly. Rainbow 6 Siege, CS2, TF2, LOL, WoW, all have catered to their niche fanbase and lived long lives while everyone keeps trying to capture the Fortnite effect.

Apologies.

What were your major issues that if changed or improved would make you want to play it again? Or is it so bad there's nothing they can do?

 

[dreamstation]

I just can't believe so many people are playing and buying after this company blatantly STOLE artwork from someone thinking they were sly enough to get away with it. I don't care if they settled, were forgiven or whatever. The damage is/was done.

Pretty sure the company didn't steal anything. One employee stole and was later fired correct?

Who cares. It happened. God knows how many other times it's been done.

The employee represented the company, therefore it was the company.

Lets be real, most of you are just addicted to hate. Marathon is genuinely one of Bungie's better games, and if its not to your tastes, that's fine. But calling people delusional for enjoying it just proves my point. Even if Marathon launched with 20 maps and 4 enemy factions and single player campaign, you'd still be hating on it. BO7 launched with 16 maps vs BF6 with 9 maps, way stronger post launch support and still it gets shit on. GAF is just turning into a place for people claiming to be gamers when you're just here to dunk on things, hoping for games to fail. Seriously, a UI design choice is a reason for wanting the game to fail? That's all it took, really? Enthusiasts my ass.

Im on your side, we should behead all those 5 mapper pieces of shit once and for all.

Who honestly believes that more content is good, absolutely insane, what sort of loon wants more game instead of less game.

You wouldn't know that though. Keep on hating something you don't understand.

No, BO6 and 7 are piece of shit games. Totally different issue.

Marathon is not a piece of shit, it's just that the core game is collecting garbage lying around over four maps. Sorry it just is. I said it in the CCU thread but it's crazy that this is where we are at.

If Marathon had as much content and was built like Division 1, I'd say it would be a 9/10 tier game if not 10/10. In the past we got more content and more stuff to do but this game doesn't even have the same amount of stuff as the first game to do extraction.

I don't know why gamers are so happy to accept this lowering of standards we are getting from devs.

This is a legitimately sad post.

It honestly feels like the place has become 28 Days Later. They're...no longer human.

I can't remember the last time we got a AAA game this bold and creatively interesting. Maybe Breath of the Wild? It's quite literally mana from heaven.
