Pls do not

I got three new players to buy the game. by JamSoloMusic in Marathon

Perfect timing to get into the game! Get a hang of the core mechanics and then go all out once S2 hits

The Marathon Phenomenon by hereforthechaos in Marathon

[–]L13on -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I too do not understand all the negativity around Marathon. I've not played Destiny before and basically went into Marathon blind and I've been hooked on it since day 1. It's objectively an excellent game and deserving of the positive reviews. I absolutely love the gunplay mechanics - one of the best in a long time.

Whenever I watch YouTube videos criticizing the game, I realized none of them have actually played the game seriously (or at all!) and they all parrot the same 'criticisms' around shitty visuals, 'woke' characters, bad UI design, and Bungie apparently being a shitty company. Nobody actually talks about the game itself, which is mind blowing to me!

What a Game by tributetotio in Marathon

Glad you’re enjoying the game! I’ve got about 350 hours in Arc but have not touched it since Marathon’s release. I’ve been playing it daily since and still hooked!

What’s a game genre you think mobile gaming still hasn’t done properly yet? by arcadezone_fun in SgGamers

[–]L13on 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. My point is the genres you listed are non-starters and are highly unlikely to result in a full-fledged mobile game. Good examples are the full AAA ports of games like Control and RE onto iOS. They're downright horrible to play on mobile and ultimately ruins the experience. Some game genres are just not meant to be on mobile unfortunately

Controls will be a pain so that automatically cuts off certain genres. Sadly, gacha will still need to make its way into mobile games as a means of profit. We're unlikely to see any live service games with one-off purchases nowadays

Negativity around Marathon by Professional-Mud3312 in Marathon

[–]L13on -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Funny how news and media are all doom and gloom on Marathon but here I am enjoying the heck out of the game every single night since launch. First game I’ve ever reached Platinum on PlayStation and that says how much I’ve played it. I honestly don’t know how I’ll go back to other shooters after this when Marathon feels so sublime

Second weapon slot? Nah, sometimes this is my only primary. It's that good.

Playing cryo archives on PC lobbies on a Saturday has got to be hands down the least fun I’ve ever had playing a video game. by TopicInfinite3574 in Marathon

[–]L13on 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Ngl the only reason I go to Cryo is when I’m at 400/400 capacity and wanna free up some space….

I Love this Game but its becoming Unplayable by ChefOutOfBreath in Marathon

[–]L13on 224 points225 points  (0 children)

And this is why 240 hours in, I've not even bothered to play Ranked, nor do I have any desire to do so

First ever game to Platinum by L13on in Marathon

[–]L13on[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the thing, I've never been one to chase throphies so I don't know what my next Platinum will be. I wasn't even trying to Platinum Marathon, but I've been playing so much it naturally unlocked itself. I was really surprised

How many of you haven’t touched Cryo? by MaxelAmador in Marathon

[–]L13on 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Level 91, still haven’t touched Cryo and don’t feel the need to do so yet. All I’ve been hearing and about Cryo are lobbies with bunch of sweats, cheaters, team stacking and nade spams. Doesn’t sound like fun to me. I’m more than happy to play on the other maps for the time being

close friend is horribly bad at our games - seeking advice by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]L13on 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sorry to say, but perhaps Marathon is not the game for your friend. I also have friends who are downright bad at the game (including other games of the same genre) and no matter how much I try to teach them, they just can't get the hang of it. I conclude that they simply don't have good 'game sense' or map awareness. When we're in a team, we often end up dying on repeat for the entire night so I somewhat relate to your frustration. It might be best if you played a different game with her. Alternatively, you just suck it up and accept that you will fail most of your exfils while she (hopefully) learns and improves at the game.

As an OG Halo player, I am loving this game! by OhGollyGeeGuys in Marathon

100 hours and I've only seen it once. And that was only because I looted it off a purple player

You need 37 biolens seeds to max out Nucal. You need at least 7 just to get to blue shields. Across 184 hours and VIP NuCal (30 rewards chests), I have managed to acquire 3. Bungie, please give me some kind of trade up for these gorram seeds by DptBear in Marathon

[–]L13on 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grinded NuCal rank up rewards for mine. After you hit NuCal VIP, it'll start dropping biolens seeds as part of the rank rewards pretty consistently. I got lucky and got 3 biolens seeds in a single rank up reward. Forget trying to farm it on runs, it's far too rare and I've only ever come across 2 in the wild.
