? Yea...Marathon by default
It will be on much more systems, Bungie has knocked out all of their major FPS out of the park and even selling on the low end, by default it will likely move much more units then Duskbloods
That market is already saturated and people already hate that game…
People hated AC Shadows online and the game is currently number 1 on NPD...so.....hating something doesn't mean its not going to sell.
You can go online and see a sea of Youtubers with default "Shockface" screaming at the screen for attention on literally every major AAA game, like COD or AC or Madden etc, yet those IP still move millions of units.
Some of you literally tried to argue a Call Of Duty would fail based on downvotes, yet are very, very silent about it moving massive units, wasn't Far Cry 5 suppose to be "hated" too and the game is the best selling Far Cry?
My point is, how much correlation actually exist from someone crying about some shit online, to actually millions of sales lost? The very market you are talking about, is literally dominated by Bungie in the first place lol, thats like saying Mafia Old Country will release and some other open world games, OMG the market is already saturated and people HATE GTAVI so it will fail....
Does it matter how much games are in a genre, to a developer that is one of the pioneers and is dominating that market? Do the millions that actually, really play those games care about any of this?
At risk of sounding insensitive, id go on a limb and say GaaS slop is well within bungies comfort zone.
^ This.
This is in the teams normal area of familiarity and the fans of this genre will have no issue buying such a game. I'm not even the biggest fan and even I'm planning on buying Marathon.
If From Soft was making some single player RPG, on PS, PC, XB etc, then I'd say sure, they will be firing on all cylinders, but shit making it ONLY on Switch 2, already has the smallest install base by default and is literally in the area the team is not known for..
I don't think many people us logic here and simply seem to use this Poll to attack games they dislike with very little logic and reasoning behind their choice.
