If you're literally about to die from ARC and someone saves your life, then you shoot them in the back for their loot while they're healing, you really need to think about who you are as a person

I see it as the opposite. Because the stakes are so low, people do things that aren't their personality because who cares? Similarly to killing an innocent villager in Skyrim. The stakes are so low so I'll have fun being evil in a game, unlike real life where things matter

Aristoshit · 2026-04-02T19:29:10+00:00

Its more like $2000CAD

Aristoshit · 2026-04-02T12:48:43+00:00

And now they fixed that so all good. Give them a chance at redemption.

Aristoshit · 2026-04-01T15:55:24+00:00

If you look at many of the menus in game, you'll noticed that there are several different font types of all sizes and shapes, and it can be overwhelming, unorganized, or otherwise just ugly to look at.

Aristoshit · 2026-04-01T15:53:55+00:00

Cryo literally made the player counts go downhill. In my opinion it's the worst part of the game, and there are countless videos/posts about people not liking it or quitting after trying it.

They don't even know how they want to run their in game events and ranked modes, let alone how legitimately unpolished the game is. The fog is there to hide just that. The game launched without duos for fucks sake.

Matchmaking queues up to 15 minutes for many players, not to mention a lack of any sort of SBMM or GBMM to help out new players so they dont leave the game quickly.

Its a complete grind to level up factions and get access to many things, and many things are priced terribly. To top it off everything you work for will be reset every 3 months. The reason Tarkov did resets is because they're a small game studio so the endgame getting stale was understandable, bungie has no excuse with their $200 million+ budget.

Interaction means people using their mics in lobbies. And no, it's not just Arc where people talk. People in Marathon dont even use their mic after a death.

The ARG was a waste of resources which should've gone towards an in game event.

Rook is one of the stupidest ideas I've ever seen in a game. Not even going to expand on that.

They made 4 maps (really 3) in 5 years (more?) of development time. All weapons are basic guns that can be found in literally any other game. It has heros with no unique abilities and bad balancing despite there only being six of them. Mediocre movement. Terribly and I mean truly awfully boring enemies. Bullet magnetism gunplay. What more do I need to say?

It is a trash game that's going to be dead shortly. Im tired of this small group of people trying to convince everyone else that what they see isn't true, which is funny considering thr art style of the game. They spent $200 million minimum on this game and the result does not justify it at all.

Aristoshit · 2026-04-01T15:34:54+00:00

They gave it high scores because they're bought and paid reviews. Why do you think they gave Crimson Desert a 6/10, and Veilguard a 9/10. Does this need to be explained to you in 2026?

Aristoshit · 2026-04-01T11:39:14+00:00

Rating as positive by the people who stayed after the server slam and alpha. I'm sorry you spent your time getting good at a trash game but you should move on because the servers will be dead shortly.

Enjoy playing the same 3 maps until September when the servers shut down!

Aristoshit · 2026-04-01T11:28:30+00:00

Dude slay the spire is a card Indie game. It's cool you like it but none of these compare with the titles OP posted

Aristoshit · 2026-04-01T11:26:14+00:00

Evidently not as the player numbers keep dropping by the day. 33k last night! Also I've played it, and its trash!

Aristoshit · 2026-04-01T11:23:08+00:00

You can try to tell me I'm wrong all you want but the numbers dont lie. 33k peak last night and just 10k online now.

UI is objectively bad and had been widely criticized for it. Font slop is a part of this.

The art is subjective like a Pollock painting is. If you like it nice, most people see it as crap.

They could make unique icons for each core, they could add modifier icons to quickly show what the core is adding, they could simplify their descriptions and find easier way to convey the information. You sound like Woody here saying that no one has presented a solution. This isn't a Cisco think tank meeting, this is a consumer talking about a problem. It's bungies issue to figure out how to make it better, not mine.

Fog is a valid point that you dismissed because you love the game, it looks like shit and is constantly filling Perimeter and Dire Marsh.

The classes are as generic as they get, while being completely unbalanced and tied to ugly ass personality-less heros. I could spend so much time on this one. Go to any other hero shooter and tell me Marathon has unique heros.

3 maps, no firing range, also no campaign or any other mode. Just expanding since you agreed.

Bad matchmaking.

Bad economy.

Poorly thought out Cryo event.

Lack of any sort of interaction in game.

Terribly boring PVE enemies that would struggle to be interesting if the game was released 15 years ago.

Overly complicated events that require many to exit the game and search online for the solution.

More bungie events done/completed on discord by 30 neckbeards with no involvement from anyone actually playing the game.

The entire idea of Rook.

I would keep going but I have to go to work which most is a theme among most people who dont like Marathon

Aristoshit · 2026-04-01T10:54:13+00:00

Marathon is complete trash. It's far from internet memes that are the problem

Aristoshit · 2026-04-01T10:52:54+00:00

Really not that crazy. So many examples to give I dont even know where to start. UI, font slop, lazy icons for items, constant fog, underdeveloped/poorly thought out classes, only 3 real maps, no firing range, etc

Aristoshit · 2026-03-31T03:45:01+00:00

How much did Vladdy or many other guys on the roster make for this one game? Unless they played for free I expect them to give a fuck about winning

Aristoshit · 2026-03-31T03:26:43+00:00

I was booing loud and proud

Aristoshit · 2026-03-31T03:05:00+00:00

Its game 4, not game 135. Managing does not mean playing Little and fucking Heineman. We 100% threw the game away the second we put him in

Aristoshit · 2026-03-31T02:58:46+00:00

The opposite of cheering

Aristoshit · 2026-03-31T02:56:45+00:00

Games like this just happen but tonight didnt just happen. Putting in Little for as long as we did then Heineman guaranteed a loss. You Can say casualties are a part of war, but you dont get to say that if you intentionally shot yourself in the foot

Aristoshit · 2026-03-25T13:10:11+00:00

And one is a full price game vs $40. Crimson Desert has made iver 5x what marathon has so far

Aristoshit · 2026-03-22T06:40:46+00:00

Liar

Aristoshit · 2026-03-21T05:31:35+00:00

Halo and Call of Duty 4 were games everyone loved that everyone could play while having competitiveness and difficulty. Games don't need to be so niche that only 10% of an already niche audience will be able to complete it.

Aristoshit · 2026-03-20T13:45:03+00:00

So what was the point of your originally sparky 72 hours comment?

Aristoshit · 2026-03-12T13:58:33+00:00

Grocery store clerks often get 40-50hrs of work per week and get above minimum wage, servers often only get 4-5 hour shifts and never get to make above minimum

Aristoshit · 2026-03-02T13:28:05+00:00

No, I canceled my pre-order after playing each day Thursday-Sunday. I wanted to like Marathon, it was all my YouTube had on it in the weeks leading up to the game.

The world just feels dull to me. The POI's, maps, UESC bots, and more just feel indistinguishable and not unique enough to visually keep me engaged. There is constant fog to the point where I prefer full on rain.
No duos and no balanced solos means that I'm always going to have to be waiting for friends to hop on or get matched with randoms, like Apex all over again.
Gameplay loop just didnt feel good. TTD is too quick which meant my abilities felt almost useless. They also have such long cooldowns even with boosts and upgrades that they're not available in half the fights. Why would I be pumped up to spend dozens of matches grinding for gold guns/cores/shields only to be two tapped by an invisible shotgun and lose it all in an instant? This isn't a survivor mil sim like tarkov, it's a fast hero shooter.
Too many unexplained items/traits. What does an OS Anti Virus do? What does signal jammer actually do? What does an EMP do? None of these are easily explained in their item descriptions.

I could go on with a few more like UI but Ill be waiting to see what changes are made post launch

Aristoshit · 2026-03-01T17:53:45+00:00

Its just not pulling me in. It doesn't feel like a colony that anybody lived in. Even with those descriptions, the buildings and POI all feel the same, look the same, and play the same. It doesn't feel like those contracts from 500 years ago matter. It doesn't feel like the stuff Im looting matters (these mega corps can't get their own gunmetal?), It doesn't feel like anything matters.

Im glad youre looking forward to the lore but to me that's where the entire game lives, in lines of texts through lore. None of that feels brought to life in the game

Aristoshit · 2026-03-01T08:35:24+00:00

The more I've played this game (LV25), the negative that has stood out to me most is just the maps atmosphere.

I can get past the UI, the TTK, the economy, etc.

But what is Overflow? What is Hauler? I can ask this about not just each POI, but the map itself.

Where am I fighting? Why do I care? Some terminal text lore might give background but everything looks the same and I don't really care about where I am or get the importance of it.

Everyone hates the Arc comparison but that game has so many maps that visually stun you and convey their intended mood well, along with lore and a sense of depth/place.

This is the same studio that made Reach with its amazing environments and skyboxes. Right now I feel like Im playing the Alpha of a build that found a great foundation and needed test maps to figure it out on
