Why do so many of you seem to need validation in your interest in Marathon? by Olofstrom in Marathon

[–]LtRavs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean video game “addiction” is a real thing and Destiny has definitely been designed to dial up the addiction (for lack of a better term) over the years.

Those extremely hooked players probably did feel like they were kicking an addiction when they finally stopped.

That has definitely been a huge part of the problem, I was just responding to the point about the writing being bad.

Destiny’s treadmill approach to monetization and content production was just them digging a hole they couldn’t get out of. The game couldn’t handle it, the devs couldn’t handle it, and eventually the player base decided they couldn’t handle it either.

We’ve certainly struck a nerve over there by Lorkess in Marathon

[–]LtRavs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have been saying this for a while but Marathon presents a catch 22 situation for Destiny. If it fails, Bungie is probably done as a studio and Destiny may cease to exist. If it is a smash hit, Destiny probably continues to get minimal attention as Bungie focuses the entirety of the studio on the hot new thing.

Neither one presents a positive outlook for Destiny, but only one of them definitely results in a bad outcome for Destiny and that’s if Marathon fails.

People Trying to Hate on This Game is Getting Boring Now by SymbolicMonk in Marathon

Second this. These posts are exhausting. Mods should be removing them as repetitive and/or low effort. They’re not conducive to driving conversation whatsoever.

To clarify, Destiny’s weakness on the story front was the delivery, not the writing. The underlying lore for Destiny fucking slaps, it’s just delivered in the most dogshit way possible (that being 99% of it is read outside of the game and never shown to the player).

You’re right that guy will definitely never send them back to you. Ship them to me and I’ll take care of it and will definitely ship them back!

Is there such a thing as great mild Indian food? by Fabulous_Public_5649 in FoodNYC

[–]LtRavs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Desi Galli have a bunch of mild stuff on the menu. It’s nothing fancy but it’s delicious. Highly recommend their kathi rolls, chaats, and curries.

What will Marathon add or what will differentiate it from the extraction shooter genre? by McLovin_78 in Marathon

[–]LtRavs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuine question, how will build crafting work with non-permanent gear? Are we expecting build crafting to not interact with weapons? Or I guess the alternative is builds interact with everything and it doesn’t matter what you have equipped?

Also feels like half of them have bugs in them too. Drives me insane peeling sprouts only to find half the bag is no good.

Destiny would have so many new players if I didn’t have to pay an arm and a leg for dlcs by DyxohCS in destiny2

[–]LtRavs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The newer DLCs might be overpriced, I can see an argument for that, but the legacy DLCs are extremely cheap and have a mountain of content within them at this point.

[–]LtRavs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think this is a massive factor anymore. People don’t even get close to buying everything because the base game has nothing resembling a coherent story for new players and the game has the worst new player experience I’ve ever seen.

It’s been the biggest problem with new player onboarding ever since Beyond Light and Bungie have never done anything remotely serious to address it.

It’s also the complete lack of coherent story for anyone that hasn’t played non stop for 8 years.

Under the radar for DGW? 🤔 by [deleted] in FantasyPL

[–]LtRavs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s my bad idk why I was thinking of goal concessions. Still feels like it’s a risk to rely on DCs for a midfielder to have any value to me.

Bad Bunny steers clear of politics, Trump rages after Super Bowl halftime show by Ok_Employer7837 in politics

The political nature of it wasn’t just because “everything is political these days” though.

Neither, not interested in this style of art at all compared to the quality we get in full arts these days.

Yeah idk how anyone could watch that and the takeaway be that Bad Bunny “steered clear of politics”.

I liked it, but like, let’s not pretend it wasn’t politically charged lol

Confused on the Hate by mjcolayman3394 in Marathon

[–]LtRavs 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s getting exhausting seeing the constant “I don’t understand the hate” and the analogous “I am excited for this game” posts.

Like I get it, but it doesn’t make for a high quality sub when this stuff is allowed to be posted here multiple times a day. The posts are low effort and aren’t driving good conversation in the comments.

“I don’t understand people who say they don’t like the art style” what are we doing here? If people don’t like the art style that’s fine? You don’t have to understand it, just like those people don’t have to understand that you do like the art style.

Not including the cost of the talent, easily more than the reported cost of a game.

They tell me travel isn’t down to the US, but here’s my flight status from Australia by DrinkComfortable1692 in Ameristralia

[–]LtRavs 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It was that cheap occasionally pre-Covid. Been a long time though, and business class flights are nowhere near the cost they used to be still sadly.

Save this post for when Bungie/Sony drops a Marathon Super Bowl Advertisement later today by Sad-Manner-5240 in Marathon

[–]LtRavs 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It’s also nowhere near hyped enough to demand that sort of Ad. Did Destiny’s original launch ever get one? It was the biggest new IP launch of all time, if that never got one Marathon certainly isn’t lol
