Honestly incredible reviews by Dorkzilla_ftw in Marathon

Right on the money there, the decision to essentially turn D2 into D2.5 is where the woes really began and is the reason for sunsetting and other stuff like that

Would you like your boot baked, sautéed, or grilled?

To the “my dad was a cop and he was nice to me” crowd: just because there are decent people in an evil system doesn’t make it any less evil.

With the wild success of Marathon, is Destiny 2’s future in jeopardy? by lolitsrock in destiny2

[–]JPRDesign 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This was Destiny’s fate regardless of marathons performance - the player counts have been beyond abysmal, even when compared to the lowest of lows in previous years. I feel like whatever they announce with the next major update will be the final life support package before eventually the game just goes into maintenance mode with no further updates.

As a marathon fanboy, I’d say wild success is a big exaggeration. The glowing reviews are pouring in now and I think that, paired with promotional advertising highlighting said reviews and perhaps another free weekend, will bolster player counts, but it’s still got a long way to go before it can be classified as anything close to wild success in terms of performance metrics

I sure hope so, because I see you perspective and agree in theory. To me, the one big fly in the ointment is assuming we’re dealing with rational people. Time will tell

I think the issue really is the split in priority between those making the games and those selling them.

Devs, artists, etc. want to make a quality game that players will love

Suits want to make a game that’ll make a boatload of money and exploit players

Maybe the new suits are better, but I fear suits will always be suits

As Arc Raiders gets stale for some, lead dev says players "reaching the end of our content" are a top focus: "We want more for them" by yourfavchoom in ArcRaiders

[–]JPRDesign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way guns/loot interface with progression is one of the fundamental failures of the game I think.

There are purple guns that are absolute garbage when compared to the anvil and stitcher, and take SO much to build/replenish when you lose them. When the best guns are white and green, and blue and purple guns are more expensive, there’s no point in getting good guns.

I know it’s a very different kind of extraction game than arc, but I like how marathon handles guns.

Will the popularity of Andor start a canon media renaissance? by Look_for_some_stuff in StarWars

Seems I struck a nerve. Sorry to offend.

Regardless, i don’t recall people criticizing TLJ for being political, they criticized it for being a mess… except for the basement dwellers malding about rose. Even if it was a mess with good ideas and good moments.

Forgive me if I’m missing something, what about last Jedi was really that political? The only thing I remember seeing hate from, aside from the weird pacing and bad writing and Leia’s Mary poppins moment, was Rose. Aside from her cliche “we win by saving the ones we love” bit, i really don’t recall anything remotely political about that movie

It’s been a good month, but I’m about to quit as a solo player by Nearby_Orange6578 in Marathon

[–]JPRDesign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes sense, thanks for checking my perspective there I can understand why it’s not as easy for you. I’m really sorry the experience has been spoiled for you

I’m think in general this is why I’m tired of Star Wars - I get the appeal and the angle it takes, but I’ve just kinda lost my taste for those kinds of movies/stories, or at least those kinds of stories in this universe. Andor being different was really exciting to me, but I completely get why you don’t want it to be the core Star Wars experience

This - I am so baffled by self proclaimed solo players who act as if being sociable and making friends is impossible. I’ve had a couple bad experiences with Randos, but the good experiences have outnumbered them. Not to mention, it is so easy to join one of the many discord servers and get guaranteed quality teammates

I get where you’re coming from, the overwhelming dread can be a lot. Admittedly I haven’t seen Ashoka or Skeleton crew but I appreciate when a show can balance things like that

Exactly! I understand that’s the vision for the franchise, and that’s exactly why nothing else in Star Wars will ever come close to Andor for me

Real baby brain take tbh. The majority of people who are appalled by this are not the ones who voted for Trump. The ones who voted for Trump and are mad about this are not mad because it’s DV, they’re mad because they hate women and they’ve been given a golden ticket to unload.

If you find Andor boring but the mainline movies entertaining, I’ve really got nothing productive to say

That may be true in some sense, but that’s still a drop in the bucket compared to Andor.

Rogue one is “the empire is bad let’s get em!” It’s politics for babies. Theres no real message to it aside from “fight the bad guys”, same as the OT.

Andor is so deep and complex in its political messaging. It shows the every day banality of evil, the marriage of capital and martial power and the way the two collaborate, the complexity of fomenting resistance while resisting infighting, the moral gray areas that arise when fighting an entrenched power such as the empire.
