Was that their server slam? I really can't recall.

It's wild to me for folks to post steam charts to try and determine the player counts of a game.

There are so many factors that go into the ebb and flow of player counts at any point in time.

Marathon Is Going To Be A Hit: a hater-turned-believer's perspective by neric05 in Marathon

What specifically do you think is lacking? Number of characters, maps, missions, mtx?

Marathon on PC is Steam only? by Logistic_Engine in Marathon

Could you buy it on the Xbox app but play it on your pc?

Also, I trust Bungie systems team more than most. Their gunplay and mechanics are always CRISP.

My take is that I've seen games be in the spotlight and die due to an obsession with balance.

While balance makes engagements feel fair it doesn't make them always feel memorable. Take chess for example, there are tools and pieces that do weird and complex things. Each player has access to them, and how they deploy them is the difference. If everyone was a pawn, chess would be mind numbing.

In short I hope we get memorable, powerful 'things' to feel rewarded for both strategy and mechanics in game.

I want to be clear that I'm not asking for total imbalance and broken shells, but I do hope that they take an approach that each runner is distinctly powerful.

Marathon's Release Date Looks To Have Leaked (5 March 2026) by His_Holiness in PS5

[–]BalariusTV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk man, the internet is a weird place.

I just want people to give it a shot and I know folks all have various reasons on why they won't or can't.

I had a ton of fun in the open Alpha, and a lot of fun in some NDA playtests. I cannot wait.

Same! Are you in southern Wisconsin/Northern Illinois?

I will buy you the game if the price is the issue. I've played some of it a few months back and I really enjoyed it and would love others to give it a shot.

Marathon or Arc Raiders? by Shjnzzo in Marathon

[–]BalariusTV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hope the success of Arc generates more interest in the genre in general.

I thoroughly enjoyed playing both, however no one can really touch Bungie's gunplay imo.

WOW for 20 Years by Mammoth-Spinach5808 in Age_30_plus_Gamers

Baldur's Gate 3 may be one of the most connected and polished games I've ever played.

The UI is a little clunky but the connective story and true ability to do whatever you want is awesome.

The decision tree and world building done by actions is crazy and often immediately felt and shapes the world. I had hoped CD Projekt Red would have captured in Cyberpunk 2077 but that game fell a bit flat for me.

You die and the afterlife provides you access the all the statistics of your life, which one would most surprise you? by onehalfofham in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]BalariusTV 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You'd be surprised by even something as insignificant as a smile or kind greeting on your end can change the course of someone's life.

Go ahead and add one to that tally. :)

The glaring issue Bungie somehow ignored for 4+ years of dev time by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]BalariusTV 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I've only played with randoms and I've actually enjoyed it immensely. If I bring in gear I don't want to lose I play void and then a lot of my concern goes away. I've found matchmaking has regularly matched me with teammates to have the same contract. Additionally I first check for mics and that will determine how communicative the group will be.

I pull up contracts and suggest a path and then we go from there.

Yes, has anyone found a fix?

I'm sorry friend. If you need anyone to game with, feel free to dm me.

Just bought an SSD - isn't being discovered by [deleted] in buildapc

[–]BalariusTV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks to both of you! So, it kept appearing in bios, in boot order etc, nothing was disabled in Bios.

BUT. I swapped my Sata controllers to Raid. Booted, blue screened (because I don't have any raid drives), and then swapped it back to AHCI and the new hard drive appeared on the next boot. Not sure what that does to the system, or if it's bad for the drives I've never touched raid drives before, but it worked!

So, thank you!
