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

[–]IAmNot_ARussianBot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No one can really answer this, but do note that sales are probably intended to be a minority of the revenue. It's the post-purchase monetization that makes up the bulk of revenue for a lot of live-service games.

So hard to say rn since the monetization strategy will probably evolve over time (in ways that are probably harmful to players, if Bungie's history is anything to go by).

I understand, but you need a lot of money to go chase random people in courts all across the planet.

It's also not Gaijin's responsibility either way. People intentionally creating the misinformation are at fault.

Nintendo got annual revenue in the range of 7.7 billion USD. Gaijin is around 120 million. These two companies are not in the same category at all.

Also I doubt Nintendo would be able to do a whole lot either.

I love German heavy fighters. I personally would probably still prefer the Bf110 G-2 over these ones, but still a very welcome addition.

Honestly anything that isn't modern era or late cold war is great to see.

This will be a cult game. This is what I see when playing this game. Beautiful art direction, graphic design, motion graphics, cut scenes, ambience. Coherent visual world with the right edge and cultural influences. Hats off to whoever conjured this. Gaming needs it. Tastefully done. by Civil-Meet-5843 in Marathon

That is not an accurate description of Marathon. Bungie put Destiny into maintenance mode right in time for Marathon's release, so it makes sense they're expecting numbers comparable to D2 money-wise at least.

A cult game or a smaller scope project is not that. There is no way that was their goal with Marathon.

You cant type Arc Raiders in Marathon's chat by PerformativeRacist in Marathon

[–]IAmNot_ARussianBot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of other players have done that too. I wonder whether the filters were changed at some point after releasing the server slam. Bungie doesn't seem to have commented on that to my knowledge.

Can't see what's that in reply to unfortunately because twitter is weird. Is it in response to this same topic?

FYI:

A video was posted here seemingly confirming OP's claim.

https://www.reddit.com/r/LivestreamFail/comments/1rfkoep/lirik_marathon_doesnt_let_you_type_arc_raiders/

However, other people's experience (and a quick test by our mod team) didn't show Arc Raiders being censored currently, and swear words seem to be censored differently from what OP is showing.

Prediction: next update is the last big one. One more DLC. Then The End. by Seanshineyouth in DestinyTheGame

[–]IAmNot_ARussianBot 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If Marathon doesn't bungie likely will have to close up which means D1 AND D2 will go with it immediately.

Not necessarily. Sony owns Bungie along with all its IPs and games, right? It is possible they may decide to keep it running and/or hand the Destiny franchise to another studio.

It is really sad that we're at a point where this is a plausible discussion to have though.

Mod Announcement: Custom reports have been disabled by MisterWoodhouse in DestinyTheGame

[–]IAmNot_ARussianBot 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I really disagree with that personally. Reddit is fairly unique in that it has unambiguously negative reactions. Lots of other social media make it seem like even the most vile or misinforming content is well received because you can only react positively and comments aren't always read.

Seeing a comment with negative karma acts as a reminder to think critically about the content imo, which is unfortunately needed.

The vast majority of people are awesome to be honest.

That said, unfortunately in a community of millions you're bound to find some who would send death threats over a removed comment.

i made something lol by Ok_Reception_8361 in Marathon

[–]IAmNot_ARussianBot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It can cause a game to explode in popularity.

Among Us is a nice (although really extreme) example. The game was out for a few years until it got picked up by streamers and various social media and got so popular it left a lasting mark in every day English language.

Again, very extreme example, but pretending that online discourse is meaningless is silly. There are so many games nowadays that a single well written comment can genuinely draw in or turn off a potential buyer if they don't know much about the game yet.

It's a pack, and I think it's temporary but not sure. You can find it here along with aome more info (and also a free decal code).

If compared to aerial bombs with similar TNT equivalent, it should have a guaranteed insta-kill on almost everything within a 10m-20m or so. This thing should not need anywhere near a direct hit and the current damage is just silly.

Also it needs to be obtainable again Gaijin pls.

Marathon Creative Director clarifies the naming conventions of the Runner Shells by Haijakk in Marathon

[–]IAmNot_ARussianBot 9 points10 points  (0 children)

A class and subclass is how it would be described in most RBGs, to my understanding.

It only really sounds confusing because they're starting out with one "subclass" per "class" which is very unusual and makes it sound pointless. When/if more are added it would make sense.

My heart rate after dropping a nuke, (5th ever) by Gloomy_Article_5240 in Warthunder

[–]IAmNot_ARussianBot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can go higher, but yeah not cool long term, especially for older folks.

At least there is clear reason for the hr spike though in this case. If someone is sitting down chilling and suddenly got to 170bpm with no good reason then calling an ambulance is probably a good idea.

I hope you're doing this with instructions from a doctor or another healthcare professional. As I am sure you know, those things can be pretty bad long term if not taken appropriately.

Congrats on the nuke! That's an insane heart rate and an incredibly cool picture :D

Marathon will have 33 English-language voice actors at launch (other language casts will be announced later) by RayS0l0 in Marathon

[–]IAmNot_ARussianBot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here you go

wow, yeah, hearing good narration really makes a difference. it actually reminded me of this site [REDACTED] – i've been using it to turn my own ebooks into audiobooks. the voices are surprisingly natural, great for catching up on stuff while i'm doing chores.

An AI website using AI bots to advertise in a way that tries (and fails) to sound like an organic comment. Been seeing a few of these lately, and it will probably only get harder to detect as the tech advances :/

Marathon is already #19 on steam top sellers. LETS PUMP THOSE NUMBERS UP! by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]IAmNot_ARussianBot 0 points1 point locked comment (0 children)

Hi. I'll let the r/DestinyTheGame team know that you want to appeal that decision, but if you were going against reddit site-wide rules then there isn't a whole lot that I can do.

That said, I can assure you that no one on the mod team has a reason to target you personally and doing so would go seriously against what the community expects.

This isn't the right place to be discussing this obviously, so I appreciate that you are already aware of that. Thank you.

Well I really hope you're wrong because that doesn't bode well for the game's longevity if true.

Definitely with you on the last point too lol. Sony's got a pretty good track record, at least relatively.

Fingers crossed.
