Hopefully they do an open beta or something before release so we can all try it without spending money.

Sony is going for a hat-trick between Concord, Marathon and Fairgames.

Obviously, games in their first alpha don't look like final games that already have been released.

Well, if you feel, even as one of the most optimistic admirers of the game, that it will only manage to gather a niche audience, possibly just enough to keep it alive, then it's pretty much a failure, no? This is a reputed massive studio with a massive budget and dev cycle, not to mention ludicrous levels of influence and autonomy enough even to influence projects of top-tier devs such as Naughty Dog. If, after all that, they can only manage to attract a niche audience, then well...
I was a massive Bungie fan and to see their fall from Reach, etc, to this.....they could have done much better....they should have done much better. A next-gen exclusive AAA title from a flagship Sony studio shouldn't look low detail and budget compared to something like overwatch 1.

I just think it has an uphill battle regardless of the quality of the game. I don't think it has those "streamer clip" moments that say Arc Raiders has that helps games blow up and the wider gaming community is dead set against it. Bungie fucked up everything surrounding the game. It will take nothing short of a miracle to turn this into a smash hit. You never know though.
As you are aware I've played it, I though it was decent, almost great. I think its biggest problem will be content, it was a little on the light side. These games need a solid pipeline of content, something Bungie has always struggled with.
If it bombs, so be it.

No idea, but they should have a good look at themselves and why they go so weird and passionate for it.
I can understand a hate campaign for a corporation or company that is downright destructive to an industry.
But so much hate for a extraction game they dont like, which they have never tried, and probably never intended to buy. Thats mental illness to me and a sign of a human that is a waste of space and has nothing better to do

People have been insinuating and building up to this. Its no secret they want it.
It's probably why some hype up Ark Raiders extra so much. There was always marathon comments after praising Ark Raiders lol, talk about being obvious.
Truth is they are too different and people only want to compare it because they want Ark Raiders to slay the baddie Marathon.
One game is FPS the other 3rd person. Bungie has its own gunplay and feel, if you like it, then you're not gonna prefer a 3rd person shooter. Ark Raiders seems more towards PVE while Marathon is more PVP even though both will have aspects of the other.
Look different, play different, different camera angles, gun mechanics. They don't have to compete with each other.
Just let people enjoy their game

Because we don't think its fundamentally shit like you do. And the people who say that, arent the authoritative figures they think they are, they dont get to decide the narrative.
Its not a given that its shit, lots of testers like it, and just because a bunch of people dont like it, doesnt make it fact. It looks no worse graphically than other extraction games, looks different and gunplay is great. Yeah its gonna be small, and Im sure everyone is gonna use Steam CCU numbers to say its dead.
When Destiny 1 came out, the majority of this forum and many reviewers, were shitting on Destiny 1, saying it lacked content, bad story, bad game blah blah blah. And reviewers at the time rated Battlefield 4 and Cod Ghosts better….. Those people were clearly retarded. Destiny had way more content then both games at launch and lasted years after because it had greta gunplay.
If you think something is shit, then move on. Commenting once or twice is normal. But when people make an active hate campaign over entertainment IP that they dont intend to buy, its just weird

Nah I like both a lot and they are quite similar in a lot if areas. They are bound to be compared.
Im eager to see what endgame mechanics Marathon has because they have been bigging it up and Arc relies on its (very good) loop to keep you playing.

Its a PVP game. There's quite a few successful ones kicking around.
