Lenas Lenas is a good guy and helped me out several times in Destiny 2. And runs the discord and destiny 2 guild. and actively adds us FoH peeps to his guild if asked. So hes got some meat in the game.

I mean, who the fuck knows, maybe Marathon will blow us all out of the water on how good it is. But still my bet is its shit because Bungie 2025 is NOT the same Bungie of early 2Ks.

Fuck me for wanting a game to be good right? I could not care less who is making it. I hate Activision as a company, but I still wanted DMZ to be good. I have historically enjoyed [older] Halo and Destiny games so yeah I hope Marathon is fun.

Honestly? Not my type of game anyway so I have no interest and no skin in the game. Never was into the PvP bullshit too much. Yeah, I dabbled in Destiny and Destiny 2 PvP, but that shit was just meaningless quickplay BS just to grind out some items. I think my overall K/D was something like .8 or some shit, loool.

There is a difference in wanting a game to be good and seeing exactly what it is and deflecting all reason.

Trying to be objective. Tarkov had four maps at launch and nothing special about player characters, DMZ still only has three maps with some set loadouts, Delta Force had 5 maps. What extraction shooter are you comparing Marathon to? Six operators and four maps with escalating PVE difficulty doesn't sound that bad to me for a launch.

If this shit had been called “Endurance” or some other synonym for Marathon I’d have not even bothered to get mad about this extraction shooter genre game.

But they had to unearth and rape an existing IP that built their company for this shit. I’m legitimately mad at these callous fucks.

I bet Myth and Oni are safe though, they’ve got no real gamer devs left who could even use these IPs for some terrible micro transaction cash grab dogshit.

Subreddits are fan-made, it's not official, anyone can create topics. The post is talking about how people are acting toward Marathon, but it's not actually about the game itself nor is it written by an employee of the company making it. A link to someone's LiveJournal would be just as relevant.



I am not. I am only saying that if you want to complain about the game, complain about the game. There are plenty of valid things to talk about. That guy moaning isn't one of them.

You're not a fucking mod here, and we don't listen to them anyways. So fuck right off with your white knighting karen bullshit

What PvE elements will Marathon have?

Early testers haven't been allowed to talk about further maps yet but one of them described the experience as trying to run a Destiny dungeon while also extracting against the real players. I don't know the specifics yet, no one is talking about them, but that concept sounds cool to me. They have said in interviews that they will have endgame PVE challenges. Don't know what they are going to look like. All we've seen so far is basically coming off as the newbie yard, and people were still getting wiped by NPCs.

I mean they are already starting out with wtf decisions with no proximity chat

Proximity chat is great - the idiots that don’t use push to talk broadcast their location constantly

When I used to play Warzone, that used to save me from so many ambushes lol

Who would want to run a dungeon while being griefed the entire time? I simply do not have the correct perspective or chemical wiring to enjoy either side of that player experience. I am curious if Tarkov is actually growing or just treading water by milking the few whales it has for ever increasing founder pack prices.

Lenas Lenas I'll make a thread and you can get excited about something that won't suck balls.

Hearing *literal* mouth breathers trying to ambush me was hysterical. They must have thought I was hacking.

Well Ut has said there was "no PvE" a couple times, it was a bullet point of his on why this game is already bad. Then he referenced Division 2 and its Dark Zones, so I thought he would be into that kinda shit. I'm not saying it's going to be good or bad but there is PVE in place and they say it's going to be difficult. I don't know where some of his claims come from.

Top categories for proximity chat were usually mouthbreathers, neglected kids crying in the background, and the guy who wouldn’t shut the fuck up as they talked about random IRL shit to their friend who never said a word

Sounds like EQ1.
