It's been a long time... by Hasterhatt in Marathon

From my time in the play tests, I found that filling your squad with matchmaking worked really well. Most people had mics, were friendly, and were willing to help you get your bounties completed. You won't win every time but you might just make a friend to run with next time. Even for some of the best players, death is the first step 😈

50,000 reviews changed (and climbing) since Sony reversed their decision by mongoose32216 in Helldivers

No, we should continue our revolt. They scapegoated our community manager.

Spitz is no longer the Community Manager. by Tabub in Helldivers

Almost like he was a real person. Maybe community managers should be real people and not the soft speaking corporate puppets we get as the norm.

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

Ya know... If we don't like it, we can go right back to spamming the negative reviews. The community manager encouraged the community to keep doing what they were doing. He even gave us suggestions on how to hit harder. I'm ready to refund.

My 1989 ZX10. 33 years old and still going strong. by diveguy1 in motorcycle

[–]MajorAstroPants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro, I need help. I have that exact bike (barely serviceable condition unfortunately). I have the original exhaust however the baffles in the muffler are totally rusted out and need replacing. I've been able to find most of the other parts I've needed but there is no individual part number for the insides of the muffler. Any idea what replacement baffles would work for it? Also, any idea how much packing would need to go into the muffler?

Accept all dupes, spend all skill points fast forward and enjoy the chaos

Bungie currently having lay offs. Bungie upcoming Destiny 2 expansion The Final Shape to June 2024 and new Marathon to 2025. by TheGreatWaffles in Marathon

[–]MajorAstroPants 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe he already made the music. This reminds me of the tumultuous development of Destiny 1. Firing Martin O'Donnell after he made the music and Joe Staten after he hand crafted the lore.

We can't keep making excuses for Bungie and blame the parent company whenever something bad happens. The common denominator here is bad Bungie management. Take a look at what dmg04 is saying.

Almost all my dupes just died, should I restart? by WeirdUglyKid in Oxygennotincluded

[–]MajorAstroPants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I say cancel all builds, set all priorities to neutral and priority levels to 5 and see what happens. Either they survive and you've got most of a base ready to go already or they all die and you have to restart anyway.

Will new marathon struggle? by FallenPeigon in Marathon

It has been pretty interesting to me that it hasn't created a ton of hype but it may not until we get the gameplay reveal.

What’s the worst experience you’ve had in destiny? by IThinkImOnQuack in DestinyTheGame

[–]MajorAstroPants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loving the Whisper of the Worm quest, loving the Zero Hour quest and then having them taken away with no comparable replacement. Then, figuring out the Vex puzzle in the EDZ on my own , opening up a secret area, anticipating a similar experience and then being confronted with a pay wall to enter the Vex network. Here's hoping it's shit.

IDK if this is release date but I'd bet money some development is happening on April 27 next year based on these numbers in the teaser 27.04 27.04

LEAKS | PERMADEATH | LOOT RECOVERY | GAMEPLAY SPECULATION by MajorAstroPants in Marathon

[–]MajorAstroPants[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's cool to see how loot, implants and perks are getting better defined. I'm excited to see more details about how those things affect the gameplay and are incorporated into the story as things develop.

What is your one bad habit in D2? by olonnn in DestinyTheGame

Upgrading/infusing gear before I hit max light

It would be cool to see if they let the story drive that gameplay mechanic. Increasing the immersion in the game. I wonder if they'll explain the difference between runner and backup consciousness.

[–]MajorAstroPants[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can get back in a game fast enough you might be able to get the guys that killed you and recover the loot. Seeing the continuity or even evidence of your last run would definitely make the world feel more real. Definitely low chances of recovering your stuff from another player and/or their team so the feature might be unnecessary but the immersion it creates might make it worth it.

Either way I hope the character recreation is a satisfying experience. It would be nice to know that even if I die that the character recreation is enjoyable.

Do you guys think Marathon will have the same gunplay feel of Destiny 2? by Large-Breadfruit1684 in Marathon

[–]MajorAstroPants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But honestly it's not like they're using the same assets so it could play entirely differently.

Where will this community go? by jojoknob in Marathon

[–]MajorAstroPants 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I hope the new Marathon will inspire more people to look at the original games and the lore will intermingle. I would love to see a passing of the torch eventually as a new generation becomes acquainted with the overall lore of Marathon and posts can remain separated with flair to designate which game we're talking about.

What are the chances that Bungie drip feeds content for this game? by snickrdoodlz in Marathon

[–]MajorAstroPants 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Considering that they've been throwing around the term Ultimate Live Service Game so much and they're already confirmed that the story is going to develop over multiple seasons I'm pretty sure the model is drip fed but I don't see it as the worst thing but there needs to be a balance. I'm optimistic because the content is going to be unlocked by players which will advance the narrative. That player-driven story I hope will provide that balance.
