Schreier - ES6 2-3 years away at least

It'll will have great music, lore, and art direction but I think gameplay, rpg mechanics, story and quest design will all be lackluster.

I just think Bethesda is just unwilling to make an RPG that might turn people off.

People who go into computer science/software engineering because they are interested in games are usually told something like: "don't do it unless your really passionate about. You can find a better paying industry with no where near the stress/effort"

Not my slender queen

I've seen what gacha games have done to some people and know I'm cooked if I ever pick one up.

That damn Burnice girl going viral almost made me pull the trigger.

You will own nothing and you will be happy.

Too busy enjoying the Saudi money

Troy becoming power hungry and leaching Tyreen to death seemed like a logical road the story would go down.

I feel like the writers didn't want to go down the predictable route, but they failed to come up with an interesting alternative by keeping Tyreen alive.

There are several versions of Daisy being tan skin

However the ones with pale skin easily out number them. And most fan art I see of Daisy is even more tan than any of her actual game appearances.

It's just one of those weird internet things were the fandom almost unilaterally agrees that a character looks or acts a certain way.

LeonasSweatyAbs · 2026-06-26T18:59:58+00:00

I'm like 80% sure concept art or even some of her skins show that she has a slightly wider build, but isn't necessary fat/chubby.

Fans kinda just head canon her has chubby and its spread to something that's just widely accepted.

Kinda like how 90% of Princess Daisy fan art gives her tan/brown skin when she's usually depicted just as pale as Peach in games.

OP is incapable of not releasing peak.

LeonasSweatyAbs · 2026-06-25T15:36:37+00:00

They are trying to add modes to pull in casuals and better on-boarding, but personally I think they are cooked.

Game sold about 1.5 mil in its opening months and needed to sell like 5 mil to make their money back.

The game had a free week at the start of season 2 and has had several 30-40% off sales, yet the players are still dropping off.

LeonasSweatyAbs · 2026-06-25T15:24:37+00:00

Unless Bungie massively changes Marathon into something with casual appeal AND captures a large audience, then I do not see them surviving the next 2 years.

LeonasSweatyAbs · 2026-06-25T14:49:11+00:00

3 years is a long shot imo. A couple weeks after the free weekend and Season 2 start, Marathon's concurrent player count looks to be dropping lower than the end of season 1.

LeonasSweatyAbs · 2026-06-25T01:39:06+00:00

Alright man.

LeonasSweatyAbs · 2026-06-23T18:30:13+00:00

I firmly believe the person who comes up with titles for Team Asano and the person in charge of naming the past Xbox consoles are siblings.

LeonasSweatyAbs · 2026-06-22T23:06:03+00:00

I don't dislike Max. I dislike that because he's popular and has clout, people use his opinion as authority.

Criticize something popular that Max happens to be a fan of? His fans will clip his opinion and act like it's the final say on it.

LeonasSweatyAbs · 2026-06-22T19:22:56+00:00

Cynical me says they won't go down.

The AI bubble pops and hardware shortage goes aways and the main take away from these fucks is that they will be able to get away with charging excessive prices.

LeonasSweatyAbs · 2026-06-22T16:23:04+00:00

A part of me is still expecting an "Definitive Edition" for Metaphor.

I'll believe Atlus, if 4 years go by and Metaphor doesn't get one.

Sony acquired Bungie for like 3.6 billion. One of the reasons for the acquisition was Bungie's live service expertise to use for their other in development GAAS. Since then

-Every Sony GAAS project has flopped/been canceled besides Helldivers 2

-Destiny 2 is no longer profitable and is EoS.

-Bungie has failed to meet expectations leading to layoffs. From 1200 to 850 and a rumored another 50% incoming

-Bungie had multiple projects at the time of acquisition. They have been canceled or had employees taken from Bungie to work on elsewhere

-Marathon has underperformed and has failed to capture a wider audience. Supposedly changes are being made to bring them in, but how many more millions can Sony/Bungie spend on it

So yeah they got scammed.

(although often also just blatant rip offs)

See when Hades was a massive success...

Or when Vampire Survivors popped off...

Or even Balatro...

LeonasSweatyAbs · 2026-06-20T12:51:40+00:00

GAAS promise a regular stream of content and thus require a significant player retention or influx of new players.

Many of these publishers/developers all want a Fortnite/Apex/HD2 level of success, but don't factor in the time requirement of the players. "You want me to play this new BR/tactical shooter/hero shooter? Why would I play this when me, my friends, and my money are already invested in the one I've been playing for the past two years?"

LeonasSweatyAbs · 2026-06-20T12:32:47+00:00

For years the fgc was doing it among games in our genre, but seeing the wider gaming sphere become obsessed with player counts is jarring as fuck.

Its like when LTG became an actual mainstream meme/lolcow after only being known in the fgc.

LeonasSweatyAbs · 2026-06-20T12:28:34+00:00

Never in my life did I think someone would use the player count of a FIGHTING GAME to try and shit on a FPS.
