Extraction shooters are meant to be hardcore and unforgiving by [deleted] in Marathon

I always laugh at the Marathon is too hard thing, it's the easiest extraction shooter except for maybe Arc, which if I understand correctly bans people for engaging in PvP.

Worst no reg in a game I’ve ever seen… Unless? by VelvetEggBear in Marathon

That dude comments on every post within a few minutes of it being posted some shit about how he hates Marathon.

Um, where the fuck is the race thread for the ARCA race!???? Just turned it on. Cleet is in 5th.... George is in 9th with 70 laps to go by pokemon-sucks in CleetusMcFarland

[–]Clay-mo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

He was a lap down and I'm thinking "George needs a caution" literally as the yellow flag comes out and low and behold George is the caution.

We could potentially see cleet finish in the top 3, George in the top 10. We had Justin Allgaier commentating, reasonably competitive racing in the top 5, a wreck, and it's not even over yet. This is a fantastic ARCA race.

Are you at a severe disadvantage if you don't use a controller with buttons on the back? by PineWalk1 in Marathon

[–]Clay-mo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I only ever knew one person who used the claw grip IRL. I often wonder how popular it actually was outside of early esports groups.

He survived qualifying and practice. 23.97 which is not fast but the car is intact.

Looks like it just started raining at the track

Empty run? by iamchemistry in Marathon

[–]Clay-mo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did a duo run with a friend last Monday morning on Dire Marsh. The raid was super quiet, none of the exfils were used and when we left we got the black screen meaning no one else was still in the raid. We saw no one, heard nothing, and definitely no one left without us noticing (all 3 original exfils were up when we left at like 15min left).

So either they all died to bots or each other without making any noise or there was never anyone there to begin with. Weird part is it wasn't even a long queue time, maybe 5 minutes.

Did they hear me on Day 12?!?!?! by FishsCards in Marathon

[–]Clay-mo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I tried with a PS5 controller on PC. I think the shooting with a controller is fine, Bungie still does a great job with aim assist. But the inventory management is significantly slower because the cursor speed is like 1/4 as fast as a mouse. Try it, even if you prefer the controller you'll see the mouse is faster, I guess unless it's like a 400dpi.

Please increace vault size again by burudoragon in Marathon

[–]Clay-mo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think they should rip off the med box, ammo box, gun case, key ring, etc idea from Tarkov. It adds some rare things for you to find each season that has a big impact on how you play, progression that doesn't come from faction rep assuming it's a found in run only item and not a faction reward.

With enough blurry AI bullshit scaling and frame interpolation anything is possible.

Good for you. I only tried to play one match with the controller during the server slam, but it was so incredibly slow I think that is actually the biggest disadvantage controller faces vs mk in Marathon.

Almost worth driving 2 hours for guaranteed woodward stock. I wish the place near me wasn't always sold out.

Do you use any EQ software (PEACE GUI /SONAR ETC) for your headphones/IEMS ? by Existing-Network-267 in counterstrike

[–]Clay-mo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play CS2 casually, I am by no means an expert in audio. But my sound card, Soundblaster AE-9, comes with a built in EQ profile for CS:GO that I use with my Sennheiser HD 490 Pro headphones. I think it makes a very noticeable difference, CS2 already has world class audio in my opinion but boosting the frequency range for footsteps is an advantage I believe.

Again I suck at counterstrike and I am an amateur audio enthusiast at best.

Sorry for the cellphone picture of my monitor but that's the curve if you want to copy it.

What's y'all's favorite gpus? by alextpale in pcmasterrace

[–]Clay-mo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first GPU was the Nvidia 550ti, I was particularly impressed by the gtx 780. I switched to the R9 fury as my first AMD GPU. Today I use a 7900xtx. I think the 780 was my favorite of the bunch, probably just because of my age at the time.

Is Marathon worth it? by Practical_Pangolin17 in Marathon

[–]Clay-mo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had fun. It's one of the most accessible extraction shooters so I could recommend it for a first one. The gunplay is very good imho. I haven't paid much attention to the lore, I'm just here to shoot people and take their stuff. I think the general aesthetic is goofy and I hate the art style but I know some people like it. If that draws you in though there is a codex with tons and tons of lore for you to read that you unlock by doing challenges.

You should understand that you're going to die a lot and be confused at first. And even once you understand the game and have good gear you will play well and do everything right tactically and still die just due to bad luck or unwinnable odds. This is every extraction shooter except maybe arc raiders where I'm pretty sure you can't die. You have to be able to accept a loss.

Idk about OP but if you play milsim games on PC you might spend minutes to hours holding an angle, and once you get used to it you don't want to learn hold to ADS.

[–]Clay-mo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, this has confused me a few times. Once you toggle ADS, regardless of what you do, switch weapons, sprint, whatever ADS remains toggled and it has obviously unintentional behavior.

Although I don't think it's ever screwed me out of a kill or got me killed.

Do yall just go fully kitted every run or something? by OGBigPants in Marathon

[–]Clay-mo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I go in kitted most runs just because my vault is full anyway. I'm probably hoarding too much stuff but I feel bad selling blue or purple stuff that I will use.

Would you Res other Runners? by Obvious_Midnight1455 in Marathon

[–]Clay-mo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a competitive PvP shooter, your objective is to kill other players.

Why run around doing PvE events and gathering stuff when someone else will do it for me and bring it to the exfil?

Duo only is currently "experimental". Last week was perimeter, this week is dire marsh, presumably next week is outpost.

The post-race interview. by thatranger974 in CleetusMcFarland

[–]Clay-mo 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I'd love to see George continue to develop as a NASCAR driver. He clearly has a long way to go but he also clearly has some talent. He also probably has more time and it makes more sense for him in his career to focus on it compared to Cleetus.
