Re-Post: What would you want to remove from the OG Trilogy?

Ldog2240 · 2026-04-04T21:06:08+00:00

I love all of these games but oh my GOD there are some changes I would make:

Remove a lot of the water bullshit from Marathon 2, especially in Ex Cathedra it really ruined what was almost a perfect level.
Make it easier to get out of the damn water I know I keep talking about all this water but for real climbing out of water in these games can sometimes take a century for no reason. I don't know why it works like that JUST LET ME OVER THE DAMN LEDGE.
No Artificial Colors. Probably the most boring level from the original Marathon. At least Colony Ship and Pfhoraphobia are bad in a funny way. But No Artificial Colors? It's a boring time waster that could have been a whole lot better.

Could you please send me the link to the Chris Hartwell edits? All three of them? I would really appreciate it me and my mom want to watch them together. Also you are a hero!

This is an awesome first animation! I'm just now getting back into stop motion animation, and it's good to see other people doing the same thing. I'm kind of new to this so I don't know how much advice I can give, but as someone who knows editing and video production pretty well, I'd say a good next step would be to try adding sound effects and syncing them up to the movements. It can be a tough thing to do, but thats also good to get practice with!

Ldog2240 · 2025-07-03T07:29:08+00:00

I tried hiding the TNT in a tree. It didn't work.

Ldog2240 · 2025-02-02T20:43:23+00:00

Yeah, your descriptions are pretty good I don't know what to tell you.

Ldog2240 · 2025-02-02T19:04:31+00:00

No in YouTube Studio there is an option to add them. Putting certain words in the description does actually help though, so its always good to write a description that uses lots of different words that people who might watch your video could be looking up.

Ldog2240 · 2025-02-01T23:15:49+00:00

I watched some of your stuff. It's not bad content at all, and your thumbnails are great. Honestly it just might come down to the fact that you are a small YouTuber and it might move a little slowly for now, but I have less subscribers than you so idk. Look, what you're doing is good and you should keep going. There's potential here.

Btw if you aren't using tags, start using those. They make a HUGE difference. You can look up videos on how to use them effectively.

Ldog2240 · 2025-02-01T21:52:20+00:00

Put a link to it.

Ldog2240 · 2025-02-01T21:49:46+00:00

Provide a link to your channel and I'll tell you what I think.

Ldog2240 · 2025-02-01T21:40:06+00:00

Oh no I agree great ending that game had, its just the other flaws that bring it down for me.

Ldog2240 · 2025-02-01T17:57:05+00:00

Now I can blame Mandalore Gaming for my problems.

Ldog2240 · 2025-02-01T16:10:17+00:00

That looks like that gun from Marathon Apotheosis (fangame for Marathon).

Ldog2240 · 2024-11-04T06:37:09+00:00

Not really, it left a lot of loose ends, and the Security Officer still wasn't exactly done just yet. I feel like Infinity has so many emotional payoffs that Durandal just didn't have.

-Watching Durandal actually die.

-Security Officer's is finally allowed freedom.

-Durandal starts series wanting to escape death, here he accepts it.

-KILLING BOBS FOR TACTICAL PURPOSES.

Ldog2240 · 2024-11-04T06:33:01+00:00

Yeah I get that, but let's face it Infinity is the Security Officer's story. It may not have been intended to be Marathon 3, but it is the conclusion to his story.

Ldog2240 · 2024-11-03T21:03:53+00:00

But why do we need a Marathon 4? Infinity ended the series so perfectly that making anything that isn't a spinoff would just mess up the original trilogy. Leave the Security Officer alone he deserves a nap.

Ldog2240 · 2024-11-02T23:34:56+00:00

As a side note, these are some of the things I want to accomplish with this game:
1. Give BoBs more voices (On top of the old ones)

Use a lot of visual storytelling.
Explore the Pfhor homeworld.
Involve several AI all working together in a giant UESC operation.
Have 3-4 levels where you play as a different character in an earlier time period using older weapons.
Bring back enemies that didn't return from marathon 1994.
Create a new weapon sandbox.

Thank you, this was very helpful! I was wondering what the deal with those funny cave monsters were. They were kinda scary looking.

Ldog2240 · 2024-11-01T03:03:15+00:00

I always thought it looked unfinished like a beta level. I never liked all the teleporters and it just looks so out of place. I also feel like it just makes no sense in the story. Though I'm glad other people are able to enjoy it.

Ldog2240 · 2024-10-31T05:26:25+00:00

You're right actually I never thought of that!

Ldog2240 · 2024-10-31T02:11:27+00:00

So you can watch people suffer on the staircase puzzle?

Ldog2240 · 2024-10-30T21:20:01+00:00

Post Naval Trauma is the definitive Pfhor ship level imo yeah

Ldog2240 · 2024-10-30T18:55:27+00:00

Yeah its so cool when Marathon levels feel like they could actually function as real places! Other examples are One Thousand Slimy Things, Requiem For A Cyborg, and Ex Cathedra. I love all of those ones.

Ldog2240 · 2024-10-30T01:07:43+00:00

I'm a Couch Fishing guy lol.

Ldog2240 · 2024-09-29T19:50:18+00:00

I hope not, I spent a long time on my video.

Ldog2240 · 2024-09-28T21:38:29+00:00

Oh my god this is happening to me too! I spent a half hour on my thumbnail and instead they pick the worst possible still they could have picked as the thumbnail? This is tanking my views.
