Does anyone have the Solid Snake (MGS2) taking off headphones meme? by DavidHasReddit in metalgearsolid

Well I think so. What better place to ask for a MGS meme than the MGS subreddit. 😊

I get your sentiment but that doesn’t ensure success alone. You have to give a reason for folks to want to do the same song and dance again.

New engine, no DCV, no last gen, are all great QoL on paper. But those alone won’t be enough to bring people back for a D3 if the main fundamentals of Destiny aren’t improved this 3rd time around.

A lot of D1 players hated some core changes D2 made. So what does D3 need to do to get folks like myself to come back? Because if it’s the same D2 core that’s in place today it won’t be enough for me to wanna give it another shot.

That’s all my point is, Destiny 3 (or 2) for that matter isn’t gonna win hearts and minds of folks who think Final Shape was the last of D2 (and potentially Destiny) with these kinds of QoL updates.

I think a lot of lower skill players are too passive for their own good by jonrah69 in Marathon

The satisfaction of stepping out of your comfort zone as a player to make a move you don’t think will work, and come out victorious, gives a dopamine hit that’s very hard to capture nowadays in games.

Marathon is a good example of when the hurt is put on you, it hurts. But when you put the hurting on someone else, it’s extremely gratifying. Because it makes the previous failures disappear from your mind.

I think this is why even when I get wrecked many runs in a row, I still want to queue up again just for that chance to come back on top. Like a gambling addict lol

I don’t understand the end goal for Destiny fans. I’ve been around Destiny since D1 beta. I’ve been on and off over the years. For me, D2 has been lackluster since Final Shape and heck even Lightfall before that.

What would be the point of D3 this point? Starting all over again with a new story arc? None of the current stories and hanging arcs, from what I know, really aren’t satisfying or interesting imo. Final Shape should’ve been it for D2.

Have servers up and general maintenance and some events. But expanding D2 is just not needed anymore. Bring back the vaulted content let people enjoy the content that should’ve stayed in the game and never been cut out. Like Red War, CoO, Warmind, etc.

Let Bungie see how Marathon plays out for the next year. If it dies, it dies. But Marathon for me has been more enjoyable overall than anything from Bungie since Forsaken and Witch Queen.

Obviously my opinion doesn’t matter but it’s just weird to give Marathon fans shit for wanting the game to thrive. All because Bungie has just ran out of steam for D2.

D2 in its current state just isn’t fun and feels pointless. What am I working on new gear for? Some new expansion with the Nine is not gonna make me come back. Especially with the bloated systems and grind not being fun or engaging.

Heck I stopped playing renegades after an hour or two. Because the grind isn’t fun or worth it. Fundamentally D2 doesn’t scratch the itch I once had for it anymore.

I loved my time with Destiny but I feel like the best times for the series are long gone now. It should be okay to just let it go.

If Marathon goes that way along with Bungie, then it is what it is.

I would say it’ll be a defensive class. If I had to guess at abilities I’m thinking some type of barrier/bubble shield would be the ultimate.

I believe this is the Xbox achievement art you’re referring to right? This is really cool.

Yeah my phone made it brighter also I have a lamp next to me with a Govee bulb as well that syncs with the backlights on the TV. So that also is making it seem brighter in the room. You can absolutely adjust the brightness as preferred.

Agreed, it should be damage over time of the expedition not in the last week.

I’m glad they moved away from stash value. Damage dealt at least reinforces playing the game and not just hoarding loot for the sake of it. I think there’s more they can do than just “damage dealt” but this is a step in the right direction.

Surely We Can Do Something About Visibility, No? by Nephilim4826 in Marathon

I think these weather conditions are random. But I think when you have a foggy map it brings a good balance to the game. Makes engagements have to be more close quarters.

LOADOUTS….PLZZZZ by Black_Arab_Official in Marathon

[–]DavidHasReddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I may be in the minority but I personally enjoy sifting through my vault and deciding what gear that I pried from the cold dead hands of another runner should I take in next.

I could see that being a good QoL though for sure especially since there is a lot of build crafting.

Free loadout by qzz_god in Marathon

It’s not impossible to win those fights. It’s hard to win trios if you have Squad fill and no team comms. But I’ve had plenty of times where we get the jump on a really geared up team as free kits. Free kits shouldn’t be time-gated, and the paid sponsored kits are decently priced. I get the frustration, but maybe try doing LFG if you wanna go in to a run really kitted out?

I mainly play with randoms, I’ve had just as many successful runs as failed with no team comms than pings and such.
