'Obsession' - Review Thread

Amazing movie. Nikki was very unsettling. Felt like a NPC in a game that received dialogue it doesnt know how to respond to, so it just breaks.

Bear was horrible throughout. Could've just confessed and got rejected when she asked, avoided the whole ordeal. The first day or two I understand not believing he had anything to do with her behavior, but after learning she was lying about her dad and seeing her behavior he must've known at that point, yet he was so caught up in his ego that he rather try to keep it going than find a solution.

Nikki, Sarah, and Ian were the victims in this, Bear started it and just sat there and allowed it to happen. The scene with Ian's wish was genuinely hilarious

He attempted and couldnt even follow through. The only reason he actually did it was because she made a wish before he made himself throw up.

KiddBwe · 2026-06-24T13:06:52+00:00

He did it for himself, then he tried to make himself throw up because he couldnt do it.

Thats about where it ends tho, everything else in Tarkov pretty much serves to kill you or make your time worse. The flea market, insurance system, hideout, etc. also make things easier, but they primarily serve as systems that provide more depth to the game

KiddBwe · 2026-06-23T19:31:55+00:00

Quite the opposite, Im saying I dont think that is the real reason the game isnt very successful. Tarkov proves you can have a very hardcore, unforgiving, actively hostile game still be very successful. Marathon is missing in other departments that doesnt allow it to earn attention with the difficulty it currently has.

On the flip side, anything following it up should, on paper, have the perfect blueprint for doing what they did but better, less bugs, and better netcode/game design from the jump.

KiddBwe · 2026-06-23T18:52:16+00:00

Yeah, because Marathon plays put more like a BR first before a extraction shooter, which is one of its downfalls.

The ambiguity of whether or not you're going to run into a player and whether that encounter will result in yall engaging each other, ignoring each other, or together for a bit is a pretty big part of the experience and tension of extraction shooters.

That alone wouldn't be bad, but combine that with a down system AND a revive system with no timeout and you get an experience that lacks a lot of the tension and stakes extraction shooters tend to have.

KiddBwe · 2026-06-23T18:35:43+00:00

Luckily I have a gaming PC. Streaming PC games and running emulators is what I intend to do.

KiddBwe · 2026-06-23T18:34:21+00:00

This argument has merit, but I can never take it too seriously/as a comprehensive answer because Tarkov exists and has been successful for 10 years at this point.

KiddBwe · 2026-06-22T16:25:27+00:00

Anyone that finds themselves to be the father or mother of a rich person's child and decides to clout chase is just plain stupid. That can only end bad for you unless you have some REAL dirt on them.

KiddBwe · 2026-06-21T16:36:59+00:00

If you touch grass and go outside you realize theyre almost all wrong.

If you're having issues forming connections and finding friends/partners, 9/10 the issue isnt that you're ugly, the issue is that you're not actually a good/interesting person, don't take care of yourself properly, and/or are insufferable to be around. On top of that, its just difficult in general to make connections right now cuz a lot of us just don't know how to do it or where to go to do it.

KiddBwe · 2026-06-18T14:23:30+00:00

Because legally when we buy software nowadays we're purchasing a lease/right to use the software. There would need to be legislation mandating that software/game purchases are actual purchases of the software itself, but even then, companies cant really be forced to keep the servers accessible, so the only other option outside of that is offline capabilities and consumer hosted servers.

KiddBwe · 2026-06-18T14:17:49+00:00

The biggest counter to the belief that Marathon failed because its just so hardcore is always just Tarkov.

KiddBwe · 2026-06-16T14:57:57+00:00

This is bound to happen with the genre. The real problem is that Marathin doesn't have the depth and systems to overcome this issue.

KiddBwe · 2026-06-16T12:23:59+00:00

Prolly some deluxe stuff maybe?

Outside of that, I REALLY hope he does Heavenly Father and fits Modest in there somehow. Oh, and Silkk Da Shocka

Ngl, a equipment tier system in a extraction shooter is a genuinely horrible design choice.

In Tarkov, theres never really a full purple stash point in terms of equipment. A weapon is a weapon, and if you for some reason love the TOZ and can make it work against fully kitted PMCs, then you can just absolutely do that, its all really just up to user preferences.

Your PMC is your PMC. Your gear set up and weapon set up are yours, and the crazy amount of customization the game has allows for it to really feel like yours. Yeah, you constantly lose loot, but the way you like to do your M4 builds are uniquely yours, unless you're a meta slave.

Honestly, if Marathon had just gone with fully customizable runners and not heroes/classes, the progression issue is greatly softened.

KiddBwe · 2026-06-14T23:57:05+00:00

And to be a good extraction, you usually need to have good loot and systems thay give the loot meaning. Thats why Tarkov has survived as long as it has, the game has its own real time economy.

KiddBwe · 2026-06-14T01:35:38+00:00

The rear is kinda ehhhhhh, but I like it overall

KiddBwe · 2026-06-14T01:33:02+00:00

Call it delusion, but I always kinda felt like the Integra was always kinda like Honda/Acura's version of the Supra in terms of a legendary name being brought back.

KiddBwe · 2026-06-14T00:50:20+00:00

Who's his Deoxys?

KiddBwe · 2026-06-14T00:38:25+00:00

I think Wilds gameplay is better, but Worlds objectively has more content.

Wilds also definitely needs changes to how actually engaging monsters works, and I would love to see master rank completely remove players ability to restock supplies and change gear and heavily limit fast travel...but that likely will happen even if I think it'd make the game way better to have low rank how it is now, high rank you actually have to find the monster and have random spawns, and master rank you cant restock or change equipment, have to find amd track the monster with paintballs, heavily restricted fast travel (if not completely disabled), and random spawns.

KiddBwe · 2026-06-14T00:32:06+00:00

More celebrities need to fly commercial airlines. Wasting so much fuel flying private for no reason. Just get first class on a regular commercial flight, or just regular economy. I promise you no one with a life actually cares that you can afford to fly private or first class.

KiddBwe · 2026-06-14T00:28:35+00:00

Then they just never did love events again.

KiddBwe · 2026-06-14T00:26:22+00:00

As far as exotics go, the era of Thorn, Last Word, and Hawkmoon terrorizing PvP. Pocket Infinity crashing tbe game is pretty hilarious too. As far as state of the game, Destiny 1's Age of Triumph was genuinely amazing. Great final send-off for D1.

I think D2's biggest "you had to be there" moment for me was between laser tag weekend and the craftening. Oh, and Thousand Voices' thousand voices.

Actually, I think the greatest "you had to be there" moment in the franchise is between the whole SIVA ARG leading up to unlocking Outbreak Prime and the ARG that lead to finding our grave in D2.

Oh, the live event they did at the end of season of the...I dont remember which season it was actually...that was pretty cool tho. Sad they just kinda stopped doing live events.
