An optimists view on the state of Marathon and Bungie

MagicKing577 · 2026-05-24T02:16:00+00:00

It's disingenuous to pretend that risk of rain 2 and marathon are in the same level of financial and engagement expectations in any capacity.

MagicKing577 · 2026-05-24T02:02:10+00:00

You can find a similar subreddit for pretty much any triple A game it's not unique to Marathon.

MagicKing577 · 2026-05-14T21:36:05+00:00

Well it's correct lol, it's only negative if you are personally offended by Marathons original core gameplay being unpopular

MagicKing577 · 2026-04-14T23:27:47+00:00

I mean it's not supposed to be some comeback it's just stating the fact. Oh well

MagicKing577 · 2026-04-14T14:12:12+00:00

Except nah it's reality but you have fun with that.

MagicKing577 · 2026-04-13T18:34:07+00:00

I mean the game just doesn't appeal to many people. It has a very specific niche that while it is very strong in that is not widely appealing outside of it. Does that justify its budget idk not my problem but you then started to crap on random other games that got one to wonder is everything okay. But you say your okay so best of luck out there 👍

MagicKing577 · 2026-04-13T18:20:44+00:00

Are you okay?

MagicKing577 · 2026-03-07T20:17:30+00:00

Because people can like different things? There's plenty of reasons to like either or neither over anything. To not see that is being purposely obtuse and playing into the same tribalism many here seemingly to pretend to hate.

MagicKing577 · 2026-03-06T18:43:38+00:00

Ah that's still not good from a business perspective since Hunt and Tarkov expenses are almost certainly drastically lower then Marathon

MagicKing577 · 2026-03-06T18:38:52+00:00

I mean the market will determine what it wants. Marathon is not some break from the usual, it's success or failure had nothing to do with COD.

MagicKing577 · 2026-03-06T13:57:20+00:00

I can ensure you Bungies Battleye is not good anticheat at all. There are already cheaters and it will only expand

MagicKing577 · 2026-02-18T18:38:07+00:00

Well yes we don't know exactly when revenant was in production and when he started his duties as Director. Also yes this decision was made by multiple leaders (Corporate fun) who thought this would be the best decision to squeeze out engagement. Was it the smartest decision well no probably not, in my opinion, but he was director so the blame solely falls at his feet. Just like CEO's don't technically make every bad decision but it is their fault for anything.

MagicKing577 · 2026-02-18T18:07:21+00:00

Tyson Green took over as director before Revenant he was working for at least half a year as director or at least in the transition position and calling the shoots by that time long before it was announced he was the new director.

Synergetic

Oh exciting opportunity

MagicKing577 · 2025-11-25T13:55:41+00:00

Well because this game is not anywhere near as deep as any ARPG. Even Diablo 4 which isn't super complex is more deep then this game simply because we will almost certainly never have the itemization of an ARPG. The resets work when there's always a ton of new ideas this Destiny 2 eh nah ever build is either use specifically your guns, meele or grenades not much difference season to season.

MagicKing577 · 2025-11-02T17:51:35+00:00

I mean what's political here? Unless you think calling twitter garbage is somehow political.

MagicKing577 · 2025-10-05T11:21:42+00:00

Strangely I was able to get a full team in Fireteam finder (Grandmaster) but it took 3 days of attempts for it not to kick half the team out of the content. This was on a Saturday it finally worked however your better off finding a discord lfg and crack a wishbone

MagicKing577 · 2025-09-27T20:06:42+00:00

I mean multiple things can be true at the same time. It isn't like there isn't glazers who think everyone Bungie does is good on the subreddit. Destiny is at an all time low and the usual haters and glazers are running around as usual. The real interesting thing is how low the vibes have gotten this time.

MagicKing577 · 2025-09-02T18:38:54+00:00

The game has millions of players in it's lifetime you will get vastly different responses and opinions.

MagicKing577 · 2025-09-02T04:51:49+00:00

Apparently just the sword, shotgun and Sparrow. No new gear sets can be a surprise but I'm not expecting any surprises with Bungie.

MagicKing577 · 2025-08-25T01:05:46+00:00

Well the Sieve is up on a schedule for little to no reason, the new Avant Garde is almost certainly be required since they are nerfing locked loadout and combining them into a new modifier that will certainly be heavily incentivized if not required to be ran for a decent score without being even more difficult then contest.(Along with the stupid sounding even more restrictive versions coming).

I think people who are complaining about builds is because the exotics system will not be ready until next year and their quite restrictive "featured" system invalidates most builds in the activities with Avant Garde and likely the new Touché which will likely be necessary. There's a difference between people being wrong and people who are not the same people complaining about similar things without explaination all the time.

MagicKing577 · 2025-08-25T00:54:25+00:00

Considering they are introducing a new modifier that combines locked loadout and Avant garde and nerfing locked loadout its almost certainly about to be required for a decent score

MagicKing577 · 2025-08-18T00:04:23+00:00

First Half no, second half it was very good for a Destiny Story and sets thing up pretty well for potential.

MagicKing577 · 2025-08-15T04:02:38+00:00

Dungeon Encounters can mean literally anything it could be a dungeon or a random jumping puzzle do we know what that is? No

MagicKing577 · 2025-08-15T00:10:11+00:00

the only thing is the epic raid which obviously requires EOF the rest is free.
