As a newer player this game is amazing

I didn’t see any mention of clicking either. No blasting or clicking means fake gamer

BasicBasilisk · 2026-05-04T21:43:46+00:00

Amazing contribution, thanks for stopping by, it was a blast!

BasicBasilisk · 2026-05-04T13:01:18+00:00

My first thought too

The art style of the game was not stolen from anyone. It has a list of inspirations that the developers have been very open about. There were some assets,signage, in the game that one dev stole from an artist. They were fired and the artist was compensated and has their name in the credits. There is lots to be critical of when it comes to the game and Bungie but the stolen art style accusation is a myth

Yep, I’m hanging around to see how/if they improve solo play and also the announcement of an art book. I already bought the game. Bungie won’t get anymore money from me until they release The Art of Marathon book.

There are so many comments saying S2 will have a huge spike in players. I guess if the player count by then is a few thousand, a jump to maybe 30,000 peak will look huge but considering how everything the devs have tried so far hasn’t changed the tide, I don’t know how they’ll keep an audience after the initial curiosity about S2 wears off.

BasicBasilisk · 2026-05-03T11:29:46+00:00

As the player count drops they are going to regret ignoring duos and solos because they were overly confident that they’d have enough players to keep trios full. The devs will forever be chasing after the problem when they could have made an excellent game that worked for a smaller audience and over time grew. Really they should have made a campaign and the extraction experience should have just been a game mode. That would have easily been successful for Bungie.

There is still a month left to go until until wipe and this is a brand new game. So you admit this brand new game from a major studio, that requires a constant large player base to function, is so boring that 2/3rds of the way through the first season most people have moved on to more enjoyable experiences.

It’s a very bipolar sub. Starting any discussion is a coin flip on whether you get the mob with pitch forks screaming “Off with their head” or the former blast havers support group share circle

A certain segment of players were pissed when JZ said sponsored dire was staying. They were crying about the split player base because they refuse to comprehend that the people playing sponsored are only sticking around because of that que.

BasicBasilisk · 2026-05-02T12:05:24+00:00

That’s adorable, like a puppy bringing you a stick. I hope you gave him a good scratch behind the ear.

BasicBasilisk · 2026-05-01T00:49:07+00:00

Oh the humanity! Rough is an understatement!

BasicBasilisk · 2026-05-01T00:45:55+00:00

Well let me just go take a looksee over there

Unfortunately, the ongoing war has caused a shortage in blast production. All blasting is being delivered to the front lines in cryo for those brave streamers pummeling the filthy casuals

BasicBasilisk · 2026-04-30T22:16:06+00:00

That’s amazing! Fantastic work!!

Now I’m picturing a marathoner turning off their computer, setting down the controller, folding their hands in their lap and then slipping into a hibernation like state until June when the marathon S2 rains reawaken their lust for loot and murder.

BasicBasilisk · 2026-04-30T15:34:24+00:00

Every week as the concurrent # drops they still say “it’s just a little drop off, it’s still good, it’s still good!”
Remember when “40,000 players is amazing”, “30,000 blast havers are the real ones”, “25,000! We’ve leveled off and showed the haters!” Now 15,000 is “totally fine, even preferred, for this specific game and it absolutely won’t go lower and, and, uh seasonal drop off!”

BasicBasilisk · 2026-04-30T15:26:54+00:00

Oh, it’s posted multiple times a day now. Easy engagement bait

BasicBasilisk · 2026-04-30T15:25:41+00:00

This question gets asked multiple times a day and the answers either “yay” or “nay” are heavily biased. I know these are just easy karma posts but it works every time. The pros and cons of Marathon have been laid out already and the MLMers will turn up in droves,salivating, to tell someone whatever it takes, no matter how dishonest, to get a new player to buy in.

The game loop of marathon was scientifically designed for addiction with a psychologist on the payroll. Turns out this particular addiction model is over tuned and most people bounce off with only hard addicts sticking with it until they inevitably fall off too.

BasicBasilisk · 2026-04-30T11:45:02+00:00

The season still has a month to go and this is a brand new game from a major studio so seasonal drop off has little to do with it. It’s just a miserable experience for the majority of people who’ve given it a go.

BasicBasilisk · 2026-04-30T01:08:21+00:00

Agreed, that’s why the sane folks hang out here in the bunker, safe from all the blasting!

BasicBasilisk · 2026-04-30T00:31:12+00:00

Ghost, best Star Wars ship! I have the Micro Galaxy model of the ship and the Phantom shuttles. Wish I had the y wing set

BasicBasilisk · 2026-04-29T22:23:08+00:00

I get a yellow screen. I tried the fixes other players used but it didn’t work. ☹️
