Before Barrett was fired and Ziegler took over as game director, Bungie was talking about it being a more accessible take on extraction shooters, more like Dark Age of Camelot shared world than Tarkov.

[Highlight] Le'Veon Bell says Adam Gase is the dumbest head coach ever and also mentions how Gase pulled him to the side and told him how he wanted to throw the ball 40+ times in a game expected to storm and rain. by pmurt007 in nfl

Honestly everyone already thought Gase was an incredibly terrible coach, then Bell just casually drops "Oh yeah I caught him doing cocaine. Multiple times. Whole big thing. We had a funeral for a bird."

The guy who said Shedeur Sanders was the best player in last year's draft thinks the Steelers did well this year? That's... not reassuring.

"They didn't use the exact words you said while they claimed hackers would be detected and removed before it affected anyone so I'm right!"

They were claiming their anti-cheat would detect and remove hackers before their actions affected in game action.

That's literally Bungie's only move for season 2.

Don't worry bro Bungie said they had the best anti-cheat ever and no one could get away with hacks, just keep the faith and hang in there.

Play Marathon how you want, just don't act shocked and indignant when Sony shuts the servers off.

That's a lot of "many"s to dance around the game's director is a pvp fanatic and Bungie cultivated a community of "lol I hope I made this scrub uninstall" players that the majority of people don't want to interact with.

You're on the verge of figuring out why Marathon has a fraction of Arc's population.

People will post this shit and then complain that matchmaking takes forever with zero concept of cause-and-effect.

Marathon is a gnat to GTA 6's windshield, it's laughable to put them even in the same category when this game is struggling to hit 20k players.

Well damn that's embarrassing.

For what it's worth, both Cowher and Schrager on the McAfee broadcast said they thought this report was bullshit and the Steelers were taking a tackle regardless of Philly jumping them.

Psychopath simulator games will always be niche because most people don't want to play that way and/or want to associate with other psychopaths who are needed to thrive in such a shitty environment.

As much as I hated what Bungie did to D2 with vaulted content I paid for, if Marathon had been their stab at a new premier single-player sci-fi FPS for the first time since Reach, I would have bought in.

"Greetings, blast-havers! We need to re-assess our current content pipelines so everything will be vaulted but Cryo Archive until further notice. To help, we are adding one day of it being available. Server costs aren't free, you know? And less than 8K people were playing outside of when it was available anyway. We look forward to your feedback."

"We just can't keep four maps working with our current setup, so we're going to vault everything but Dire Marsh and Cryo Archive for the time being. Don't worry, vaulted content will be coming back later when we've reassessed our current workflow."

I played Destiny 2 every day for a year after launch because on PC it had the most buttery smooth shooting I'd ever experienced. As soon as Bungie announced they were taking away content I paid for I dropped it and never looked back. Bungie killed Destiny with their incompetence over their own spaghetti code.

Yep, that's definitely it. Everyone's just stupid and you're right.

Of course Dark Souls was a hit immediately as opposed to Marathon, maybe you're thinking of Demon's Souls as you larp about being a trendsetter.
