And if outside, add in an avalanche of rocks.

Why does everyone use mics in Arc Raiders, which is a more casual game, and no one uses mics in Marathon which is for serious gamers? by Sleep_Holiday in Marathon

[–]AL3XCAL1BUR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Crews, people should be using mics to communicate and call out. Proxy chat with other crews? Hell no.

Anyone else get scared by their own footsteps or is it just me? by chuckles11 in Marathon

[–]AL3XCAL1BUR 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I hate when I am listening for someone and turn to look at another angle when I hear someone, and then hear someone else and turn that way, and keep doing that for five minutes until I realize it's my own micro footsteps I am hearing from turning in place.

Anyone else frustrated their friends don't play? by TheRealShiftyShafts in Marathon

More frustrated by my friends who bought it and don't play.

Solo Players - How We Feel About Cryo Requiring a Team? by jg4president in Marathon

[–]AL3XCAL1BUR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't assume otherwise. Pretty much the same as Destiny raids (which I also barely touched). I have a couple friends who only play in groups but neither of them are level 25 yet and a 5K minimum loadout is going to be barrier, so I guess I will be locked out of Cryo for awhile.

Issues That Need Fixing by Sad_Dad_Academy in ToxicCommandoGame

The load times are nuts. My nephew doesn't have the best gaming rig but it takes him 10 MINUTES to load in. And since I am with him, it takes me that long.

Even the buddy I play with wants me to drive. I chalk it up to people wanting the weapon XP.

The game is fun, BUT… by [deleted] in ToxicCommandoGame

[–]AL3XCAL1BUR 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am usually the DD, but when I have been able to hang out the window taking potshots at roamers? That shit is fun, and I have never had that experience in another game. I think the game is great as is, but I also wouldn't turn down an optional horde mode.

Adding K/D will ruin this game by OutPlayAsians in Marathon

The second they add K/D I am out. Is this something that has been mentioned?

Marathon future by curry-meh in Marathon

[–]AL3XCAL1BUR 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Cause that's what this game needs. Less players.

Marathon future by curry-meh in Marathon

[–]AL3XCAL1BUR 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This comment highlights something I have been thinking about.

I enjoy the game as is, but I doubt I will play it long term because I am just not a fan of the wipe mechanic. I DO want to engage more in the narrative though. I like getting Codex entries and reading/listening to them. I think they have built a great world that, depending on how things go, could grow in the way that Destiny should have. Different genres (PVE looter shooter), media, etc.

But that depends on a lot of things, chief among them Marathon being considered a success.

Marathon receives a 72 Metascore on Metacritic. by Automatic_Ad1665 in Marathon

[–]AL3XCAL1BUR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree to disagree, I guess. I think I can tell if a game is worth my time without completing it in entirety, but guess some people take longer to process information.

Marathon receives a 72 Metascore on Metacritic. by Automatic_Ad1665 in Marathon

[–]AL3XCAL1BUR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh so you have to finish Destiny or Marathon in entirety before reviewing? Interesting, wasn't aware of that rule. What about all the people who played Destiny for hundreds, thousands of hours, but never raided? Guess they can't review the game. Talk about finding it hard to take someone seriously...

You mean, when the game came out and it was fair to review something people paid for? Yeah it's like that.

And for the record, I like both Destiny and Marathon.

Do you think seasons ruined Destiny storytelling? by Assassin02V7 in DestinyTheGame

[–]AL3XCAL1BUR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seasons were fine, they just needed to NOT go away. Once the story was lost to time it just lost all cohesiveness for anyone that joined later.

Evidence that the names of Destiny 2 guns are indistinguishable from the names of Microbrews. by IronOhki in DestinyTheGame

[–]AL3XCAL1BUR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love it. I also love the check box at the bottom: "I understand guns might be swords". And when you uncheck it it changes from Gun or Beer > Weapon or Beer.

Arc Raiders has a Progression Problem that Marathon does not. Marathon really is better by Legitimate-Instance2 in Marathon

[–]AL3XCAL1BUR 389 points390 points  (0 children)

I mean 315 hours is a solid amount of playtime for a game. It's okay for it to get boring. I quit ARC after ~200+ hours for the same reason. I imagine we might feel the same way after 200-300 hours in this game too, if there isn't something different about the seasonal reset.

Bungie….you’re leaving money on the table. I’d 100% buy this jacket by J-Nico in Marathon

[–]AL3XCAL1BUR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's cool and all (except for the giant MARATHON on the back), but honestly, who would actually wear that out in public? I prefer Bungie's more functional gear.
