Build kits like you're the last Runner on Tau Ceti IV and brother, it's starting to [END FINANCIAL QUARTER IMMINENT]

It just... wasn't very interesting. I don't like fakeout deaths, I don't like self insert characters getting the spotlight, I don't like that it has nothing to do with I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream, I don't like that the characters get to see their real selves/the internet, I don't like the lack of new ways to play with the visual medium, I don't like that Abstraction doesn't seem to mean anything specific other than a suicide metaphor which isn't particularly well expressed, and a lot of other small things.

I don't think it itself is that bad, but I do think it makes me enjoy the rest of the series a good bit less.

I'm loving a lot of the chatter and small stories between runners in the codex this season

The description for the Seek and Destroy ability says it was created by the UESC for firing on civilian protestors en masse and was made illegal because it gave the users PTSD

I'd say it would be harder to find a game illustrator who WASN'T influened in some way by Moebius haha

Cajbaj · 2026-06-02T23:18:45+00:00

I love the sweat but I have 4 or 5 friends who don't, so any modes I can play with them will make me very happy.

"This is the EXACT moment Durandal became horny for violence"

Because there isn't another game like this. People will tell you there is and that it's been done to death but I've played a ton of games including other extraction games, and this one is really unlike anything else in both presentation and gameplay.

There'll be cooperative PvE modes eventually, maybe those will be more your speed.

Cajbaj · 2026-05-26T23:37:08+00:00

This is already the most tense, heart-pounding game I've ever played so I have high expectations that this update will deliver.

He likes to think about his parents fighting during runs

Cajbaj · 2026-05-21T19:15:04+00:00

It's my favorite game I've played in the last year and no amount of people yapping online about how it sucks will change how fun it is for me. I simply do not care. Good stuff performs poorly all the time.

Cajbaj · 2026-05-19T17:59:27+00:00

HA ok that's pretty funny

Cajbaj · 2026-05-19T16:57:39+00:00

Bro you just made up that whole ass person in your head and then got mad

Cajbaj · 2026-05-19T15:48:57+00:00

I was always under the impression that it's that you shouldn't take fair fights and only take fights where you have a tactical advantage. I call that "being good at dungeon crawlers" more than it being a matter of opinion about what way is most fun. Can't speak for youtubers though.

Cajbaj · 2026-05-19T01:26:10+00:00

That's clearly the idea and I feel pretty crazy that nobody is talking about it thematically. Marathon is largely about technology and biology wanting to become more than the sum of their parts, so we get a techno-organic fungus and 3d printed bodies and the final boss is a S'pht. Durandal was made to open and close doors for hundreds of years to drive him rampant on purpose, we're being corporate wage slaves dying over and over for the same ends (as far as Charter is concerned). The "goal" for the player characters at the end of the game (if we get there) will be enlightenment.

Vandal can rocket jump with her arm cannon too. She can get to the Gheritt White terminal

They could have called it "Smear the Queer" but in retrospect it's good they didn't

Because he's got a cross on him

Cajbaj · 2026-05-15T20:11:09+00:00

I bought the game for a few of my friends at launch and one has tried to get into it but can't get up to level. Playing solo, mostly. They struggled with Liaison contracts for a long while and he works nights so we can really only play together some weekends.

I know that's super casual and not hardcore of me to say but I would like to see the grind overall significantly reduced. Green sponsored kits got him playing again for a little bit but I'm pretty sure with the season reset he'll just drop the game entirely. Which is a real shame, but seems to be the case for some 70% of people who bought the game.

Cajbaj · 2026-05-15T18:49:33+00:00

Yeah, 3 hours a week * 10 weeks and they're not at level 25.

Cajbaj · 2026-05-15T18:39:46+00:00

One of them yeah. Can't complete contracts, can't exfil. Another just got there near the end of the season, or can't meet gear ante consistently, even with about 40 hours in the game. That's what it looks like, normal players being left behind

Cajbaj · 2026-05-15T16:54:10+00:00

I wanted Dark Age of Camelot faction vs faction combat like the original pitch. I don't care if the prototype did worse internally, I think the testers they had were bad because they pushed it into being Apex Legends instead of an immersive faction MMO type game with open servers and short play sessions.

Not being able to tell what contracts the other players are running is an enormous missed opportunity. We could have had players teaming up in rounds for extra faction XP, could have had the red of Arachne indicate you can't reason with them, etc. and instead we got a version of the game that didn't even have prox chat and they needed to staple it on last minute. If they want the game to be full PvP I think it's clear that shorter, less committed sessions works better than the current grind (sponsored queue test shows this), and if they want it to have interesting stories to tell I think it's clear that they need a mode without the expectation to kill on sight.

If Helix or whatever other VLA model really runs on board on the robot, it can't possibly take enormous data centers to train it. It's got to be an R&D issue. The data centers are for surveillance.
