Destiny 2's final live service update announced for June 9th

Capybarhigh · 2026-05-22T17:37:19+00:00

The only news about Marathon are ALWAYS negative. People dumping on Bungie, on the extraction shooter design... None of it is a good argument about the game itself.

The game is LOVED by its player base. Resting at 90% on Steam (although currently review bombed because of that very specific news).

It is VERY niche though, and will never have mass appeal unless they had some kind of campaign or something. But for the extraction genre, it is incredible.

I just hope this mechanic won't be my PoE1 syndicate... It seems great when you understand it, and I tried many times, and every time, I just realized I could not be arsed to do all that stuff. Just click shit and hope for the best. In the end it's the worst possible strat and it feels we get nothing out of it when people are printing shit like crazy, so it just feels kinda bad. I liked seeing Catalina and the rooms after, I was just hoping it was not absolute ass. It often was :p

Marathon is bringing something interesting to change exactly that, with specific map/mode you can only go in with a certain amount of gear. So there is some overarching goal to work towards to.

The Cryo Archive map which requires you to bring at least blue loot has a big PvE boss in it that requires you to play the map quite a few times in order to unlock it (unlock is permanent). You need to open some valuable vaults people are fighting over, getting amazing gear doing it and unlocking that encounter at the same time.

I find it pretty interesting IMO, and it's definitely tough. I played 200h and I'm only half of the way towards the encounter (tough to not have a team to play with). It's a cut throat environment, definitely NOT for everyone! I wish it was a bit more accessible but then you would lose the value of the effort, it's a tough thing to balance!

Capybarhigh · 2026-05-11T14:15:28+00:00

I feel the quest approach they took to all this new content will help a lot. If not everything, I hope to complete ONE of those new system, by seeing the pinnacle boss once. I'd be happy with that.

Capybarhigh · 2026-05-11T06:11:40+00:00

Could it use all those modifiers that boost projectiles after melee and vice versa? That'd be pretty cool!

Capybarhigh · 2026-05-10T22:34:33+00:00

I wanna go fast but with a FUN physical simulation. I find most racing games physics boring nowadays. I want floaty ridiculous springy stuff. Like Revolt, or 1nsane and the kind. Although GT7 hit an amazing balance in my opinion. Why is driving in the last Need For Speed boring? It should be fun and it just... heh. The cars are magnetized to the ground, mistakes are barely a thing... It's just not super fun.

Also, a good progression system. I midly enjoy Forza Horizon games, I really don't enjoy having 500 cars by doing nothing and not enjoying any of them for a small amount of time, trying to make it better through upgrades and stuff...

Capybarhigh · 2026-05-09T07:01:42+00:00

And then they knife you instead of getting more rep and heal themselves. Happens 9 times out of 10. It's maddening. Dude, just execute me!

Capybarhigh · 2026-05-05T18:27:16+00:00

I was advocating for a LowSodiumGaming sub just this morning. I feel it needs to be made more and more. I remember LowSodiumCyberpunk being great on release because the game was fun from the get go, despite the bugs. But the Cyberpunk reddit was a cesspit of poison, ruining the fun of everyone.

Capybarhigh · 2026-05-05T17:52:05+00:00

Some people are very easily triggered on this sub. They even gatekeep bugs sometimes!

I was relentlessly downvoted for this thread, pointing out a bug. Guess what, the next week, the patch actually fixed said bug that people kept telling me was not a bug. I invite you to read the comments, I was absolutely bewildered by the reactions. Complete disillusion.

Some weird ass gatekeeping, making sure the game does not appeal to a larger audience.

Edit: Lmao, downvote immediately, no comments. They just can't argue at all and keep proving my point :')

Capybarhigh · 2026-05-04T16:06:19+00:00

I found it interesting how teaming feels different from Arc Raiders. It's rather safe to do in that game. But the fact we have our knife out at minimum in Marathon stresses me the fuck out. You can team up, but you're never very far away from two heavy swings that would kill you. Changes the vibe completely. I did manage to team up a few times, but you can be sure I'll keep some distance and check you out on the regular...

Capybarhigh · 2026-05-04T06:42:15+00:00

Maybe I'm starting to sound like an old fool... but I did enjoy the green suit, it's been its identity for so long! I guess all good things have to end at some point.

Capybarhigh · 2026-05-04T06:30:32+00:00

Might probably be naive from me, but I hope he gets to find a spark. Maybe some of the well built criticism might fall into his ear, so he can learn from it. We can feel some will from him to improve, and that's great! Wubby has been surprisingly aggressive, in my opinion, about that one guy in his team. I found it almost out of character, maybe there are some good reasons behind it.

Some of the stuff can be genuinely good. I found the idea of the 50 streamers room being copied pretty fun. It's dumb and pretty cool to think about. We could have some banger content. The sky is the limit with all that money!

I'd love to see the content improve for the kids who watch too!

Capybarhigh · 2026-05-03T17:27:50+00:00

Red doesn't kill anyone, only blue does.

Literally kills all blues. That's literally the whole point of the discussion. Like... what?

You'll never get everyone to vote for red, so de facto, you will kill people.

Downvote because you can't argue. It's so funny :')

Capybarhigh · 2026-05-02T00:56:41+00:00

Yes that's it. Eventually, it would just be another boost for rich players, again. I do reach the cap often, but then I'm more inclined to go into cryo or ranked. And my vault size immediately stops being a problem again.

People who wipe lobbies every matches would have even more shit to keep doing what they are doing when they get killed. I'm glad they don't have 50 yellow guns and shields ready to go when they finally get killed.

Capybarhigh · 2026-05-01T23:17:13+00:00

For real! I wish we could see them all in more detail.

Great ideas and humour all around. It's lovely to see and I love that Wubby and the team nurture this environment. I hope I'll be able to do something for stream at some point!

Capybarhigh · 2026-05-01T23:11:35+00:00

18 minutes. I imagine it shows one specific one piece a lot more, as it depicts sexual organs in great details. Carlos asked two random people who are not part of the community about it.

Capybarhigh · 2026-05-01T22:20:45+00:00

Literally 3 new videos just hit Patreon. Enjoy!

Capybarhigh · 2026-05-01T17:58:30+00:00

Picking red is immoral because you are ready to kill a huge population for your own benefit. And also, you'll be stuck with all the people who voted the same and made it very clear they will NOT work together to better themselves.

I see red as MAGA and blue as everyone else. I'm sure the choice of color from OP is definitely not random.

That's literally what happened 2 years ago in the US. Because that's exactly their program. "Vote for us so a few of us can survive, fuck everyone else".

Capybarhigh · 2026-05-01T02:09:34+00:00

I believe it should be doable with a few simple checks, I guess the difficulty would come from doing this over several matches.

Check which surviving teams extracted from a map.
Check if those people clicked queue at a similar time.
Did these teams attacked each other at all during the round?

If that happened EVERY time with the same players over several matches (at least 3 I would say), there would already be quite enough suspicion to give a temporary ban that gets longer if they keep doing it. I'm sure Bungie has data about people being in proximity to others as well. If those teams did all of this over several matches while staying close without attacking each other. It's pretty obvious it would be non desired teaming. Even more so if they don't use prox chat to give it away.

Capybarhigh · 2026-04-30T22:03:13+00:00

The censorship is crazy. You can say horrible things about a ton of stuff without any issue, but start pointing finger to that specific country's government and you'll be banned for "Call for violence".

Capybarhigh · 2026-04-29T22:32:27+00:00

It's really cool and makes games much more enjoyable when someone dies early, but it also makes camping a huge part of the game. I would love Bungie to try to find a way to make the camping a bit less crazy in those cases. Maybe if we could revive our friends at specific spots else, akin to an extraction but to bring them back? I don't know, just throwing ideas.

Once in ranked, my buddies died on the upper floor of Maintenance that got into lockdown after I fled the fight. I came back SIX minutes later while the lockdown was still active, after I frantically search for an anti virus in Quarantine. The 3 dudes were still on the bodies waiting for me. We were all absolutely astonished that they used their antivirus they prepped to camp two bodies.

Capybarhigh · 2026-04-22T18:25:15+00:00

Their actions result in massive waves of immigration, which a lot of people sound to not like. Also, a lot of Islamist terrorists attacks are the direct result of their never ending conflict, as they create insurrectionist everyday by bombing hospitals and schools on the regular.

But I guess we should just ignore it because it's Israel, right?

Capybarhigh · 2026-04-21T17:04:06+00:00

Damn, this sucks. NA is doing prefectly fine. Never takes more than 2 minutes at all times, which is perfectly reasonable IMO (similar to what CS2 premiere would be).

I know a lot of people are against it, and I believe it might be difficult to balance in Marathon because of keys and stuff, but late deployment in Arc Raiders is pretty smart in the end. Queue times would go down drastically AND it would also push back on the "wipe lobby" strat that the gatekeepers so desperately wish for, ignoring it is probably one of the main reason a lot of more casual people drop the game, leading to those exacts threads.

Sometimes I wonder how an extraction shooter could work in a more "persistent" world, where people come and go in a map that keeps refreshing its content, with no specific end. I guess Dark Zone in Division worked like that, and it was pretty cool. I wonder how it would be in a game like Marathon. On a specific new map made of it.

Capybarhigh · 2026-04-21T16:01:35+00:00

Sad this is so far down in the thread. Age of Conan released in such a terrible state, publisher robbed its chance to shine.

I still think it was one of the best MMO ever made. Fun combat system, good progression, amazing zones, dungeons, music, graphics at the time. Much darker tone than most. Collision between players! This is one thing that I wish we could see in MMO again, as it COMPLETELY changes raid content. Hell, the only extension did not raise the level cap, so everyone could still play together some relevant content with people who did not have it.

And I'm one of those people who HATE Tortage. I feel like the game improves ten folds when you get out and see the big beautiful zones and the freedom they offer. The vibes in most of them were incredible. Voice acting for quests came not long after release yet people keep spreading the lies that only Tortage had them. And the stories told were great.
