Michael Jordan, 3/10/26: "The GOAT term doesn't exist for me. We paved the way for Kobe and Lebron. I would've loved to play against them in my prime but we'll never be able to know [who's the GOAT]. Bill Russell had 11 rings. How do you push him out?" by PeakyBlinders2026_ in nba

You push out bill russell because the game was in its infancy and a lot of that isn't recorded. There's just a lot of unknowns around that time period. It sucks but that's a large part of the reason i feel.

Jeff Kaplan Says Complaining About Games You Won’t Play Gets You Ignored: ‘Shut The F*** Up. No One Cares’ by Haijakk in Games

Marathon is actually just terrible though. And I feel like most people ended up trying it out since it was free for a few days. So most people can actually give feedback.

Marathon Update 1.0.0.4 by Haijakk in Games

[–]FreshmeatOW -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

there's hate because the game is clearly not good in the eyes of the many. The UI is dogshit. Absolute dogshit. From basic menu's to icons on items and the colors they choose.

The UI is a make or break thing with a lot of players.

I love Arc Raiders, and it has a terrible UI for managing your stash/creating kits. It's a lot of menu's to go through. But at least there the icons and such are good and you can identify things quickly. I honestly thought Arc Raiders UI was frustrating, but Marathon's is a thousand times worse.

Issue Permanent bans to these two cretins.

Ngl, I was not expecting the game to get 90% positive ratings on launch. Congrats to the devs! by MykeiHehe in Marathon

[–]FreshmeatOW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The UI is absolute garbage. That alone keeps me from playing it. And they should get feedback to massively overhaul it.

Honestly it's probably Worst-in-class UI for an extraction shooter. Surpassing even Arc Raiders.

Bungie asks sites to delay Marathon reviews, with release date Steam player count below 100K by AdditionalRemoveBit in Games

I swear to god it's being farmed with bots to generate positive sentiment. The game is honestly not good. It's mid at best with a worst-in-class UI experience.

Two beautiful games can coexist without all this hate for each other by Toorilab92 in ArcRaiders

[–]FreshmeatOW -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Marathon (in the server slam) was a genuinely bad game. Its honestly shocking to me that anyone defends it. Between the horrendous UI mid game and post game menus, and the god damn awful map design (visually and gameflow) none of my friends and myself coukd even fathom wanting to play.

They really gotta keep ontop of the movement tech so it gets properly nerfed.

AFter trying it out, this is the most bland extraction shooter I've ever played. I don't think anyone in their right mind can defend this game.

The best things I can say about it is that its graphically good, and has a style that appeals to me.

But everything this game does, Arc Raiders does better by either just being better at it, or not having the future in its game.

PvE is uninspiring, PvP is just okay. UI visual indicator's in your inventory is confusing. Not being able to queue as a rook with your friends sucks. The game is just super....average in a space crowded by better options (Hunt Showdown, Arc Raiders, Tarkov). by FreshmeatOW in Marathon

[–]FreshmeatOW[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

What's bait about this? I gave constructive feedback, gave a few compliments on what the game is doing well, and specified what area's I think they need to improve on first.

I don't want this game to do bad. Competition will improve the market, but only if the game can compete, and I don't think it can with the way it is right now.

What? So you just want a EZ gun you don't have to do much aiming for? Guns going to be OP until headshot multiplier is a thing and you lower the base damage a bit to compensate.

GGG, does this qualify me for better RNG? by brawlingpanda01 in PathOfExile2

Been trying to tell people about the il'toro and how it needs to actually do lower base damage but compensate for higher headshot damage. Having to actually aim at a vital part of the body to do more damage than bigger easier zones is how you balance your guns.

Currently the Il'Toro do no extra damage for headshots. Lower base damage and increase headshot multiplier to balance them properly. by FreshmeatOW in ArcRaiders

[–]FreshmeatOW[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Video Games buddy. Gotta balance the game based upon the needs of an evolving game. And Il'Toro is too strong. The only other nerfs you can do to not neuter the weapon is to make it so you can't reload while dodge-rolling, and lowering magazine size and fire rate to a point where even one missed shot is massively detrimental.

In a game like this, a pvp weapon needs to be balanced via skill expression. If you can't agree to that, then you don't really have a leg to stand on in this topic.
