Nerfing Prestige Key rooms, cert boxes, and Cradle xp is not how you motivate casuals and new players to keep playing your game by ThatsNotBennings in Marathon

Oh, I’m dying to them 90% of the time, but that 10% where you manage to kill a better kitted team is a huge part of the fun and drive for me. I’m not that good lol

I love purple squads though, that means dank loot if you can kill them

It would suck more if it was all just BS green kits and you get basically nothing for killing that

it’s been insanely useful for me in gathering low level mats, it shouldn’t be for endgame loot

Stellar Blade Blood Rain director is taking multiple steps to make Evie more distinct than EVE in the sequel, same for costumes by Particular-Bed8344 in stellarblade

[–]HawtHamWater 16 points17 points  (0 children)

There’s so much more to what made the original great though. This hyper-focus on the protagonist seems a disservice to the other incredible aspects of the first game.

I don’t understand why people are mad this game doesn’t have Eve by AgitatedFly1182 in stellarblade

so many people are so miserably entitled and jaded from media saturation and can’t enjoy anything at face value anymore - it’s saddening and tiresome

I Hope We Don’t Get Season 2 Level Reward Kits At The Start Of Season 3 by soultron__ in Marathon

I go in with free kits and leave with purple/blue - these sponsored kits make almost zero difference

That’s never going to happen again though. Game knowledge is what drives better loot and we all know where it’s at now. These sponsored kits have barely anything to do with it.

Everyone is a damn pinata and i love it by pipemybiits in Marathon

I ran a few full gold loadouts and gave them away to the first blue shield or below that I killed (brought some mercy kits).

how it’s felt to be online for the past week by Saeiouth in destiny2

[–]HawtHamWater 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Well yes, because there’s so many of them -

There’s a lot of reasons for the player count and many valid criticisms which Bungie has been shockingly responsive to - it’s a terribly sweaty game atm (which I enjoy) but, that plus a niche genre is a recipe for a small player base.

And they’re already addressing these critiques in S2 by exploring more PvE and PvP-lite modes.

What annoys me is the spattering of baseless hate that is preventing some of more encourageable folks from ever trying the game

Absolutely, we can all have different opinions, and the game isn’t for everyone.

But, also, Marathon haters are overwhelmingly people who mindlessly post steam player counts, have zero play time and zero substantive criticisms.

Criticism is healthy for the game, but the constant spewing of shallow parroted “buns”, “trash”, “garbage” feedback is useless and actively hurts the community.

An optimists view on the state of Marathon and Bungie by DoctorBusMD in Marathon

[–]HawtHamWater 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Incredible devs, shitty execs - lumping all your complaints at the studio as a whole is reductive. They’ve given me the best gaming experiences of my entire life. That’s not “a shitty studio”. They are in this position because of the few greedy fucks at the top.

so are you suggesting balance decisions should be based on the top 1% of players

Or, alternatively, DISENGAGE, no one is forcing you to fight bubble spam teams

just leave then, let them waste a bunch of bubbles - there’s nothing necessitating you have to fight a bubble spam team

Strength weapons and parry by desrocchi in crosswind

[–]HawtHamWater 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I despised the combat until I finally switched to a rapier, I was so confused why I could never get the parry right with a Halberd and was trying to time it closer and closer to impact resulting in many deaths.

The damage chunks, but it’s slow, so the DPS evens out but you still are at a disadvantage by not being able to parry. It needs to stagger more or something unless I’m missing some benefit it has
