I will post better post later.

Reserved.

Edit:
I usually like futuristic/colorful look but there's something about the designs i don't like. Maybe they are too rounded; plain; textureless.
I'm not their target audience anyway.

Wait wait, I thought bungie had a holy shit come to jesus moment after the last round of tests and radically updated the art style after the massive fallout surrounding how ugly it was? But it looks the same?
 
That loot menu looks rough. The circular mouse/curser speed mixed with the rng time in the smaller right boxes, then having to move things over in the middle of gameplay (especially if things are getting hectic) could be a hinderance. I thought Destiny did the menu well, but not sure about this one.
 
The bit I saw was basically:
Run around a boring looking map for 10 minutes
Collect crap
Get into a gun fight
If you win: Go back to another 10 mins of collect stuff in boring environments
If you loose: Start from the beginning

Is this a freemium game on the iOS store? I just bought one of those phone controllers. It works well. The Razor Kishi V3 Pro. TMR sticks that hopefully will outlast my iPhone.

Looks like one of the most joyless gaming experiences ever, made exclusively for a handful of GFUEL'd tryhards.
 
This game will bomb hard if they're sticking to the $40 price. It might not even have staying power at free.
 
The most satisfying part of that stream was watching a terrible player rage-quit the game and his stream. Anyway, this guy didn't hurt Marathon's second impression, but he certainly didn't help it.
 
So, yeah, nothing really changed. Can't say I'm surprised. This really doesn't bode well for Bungie and the Marathon team. Oof.
 
Bet sony is regretting going after live service. If this flops after what happened with Concord that will be a major blow.


I was so hyped for this game too because the art designed looked so good in all the preview stuff.
 
oof horrible art direction and environments

I was hoping I could get a fix of destiny 1/2 main campaign combat and environments with PVE mode but I thought destiny 1 looked WAY better
 
I'll defend Destiny 2's gameplay and endgame content (not business model though) to death. But this just doesn't look good.
 
The game will be fine.

All they need to do is populate the map with a few more AI enemies and improve objectives a bit. I bet we get that at launch.
 
The game isn't finished yet and we should wait for the finished product before judging it. Remember when people were crapping on wolverine leaked gameplay and saying how it's woke trash. Let's just wait and see with this game.
 
I will reserve this post to 2030 when Bungie releases their banger...or when the company closes. Whatever comes first.
