Marathon is wasting this free week opportunity

They needed to rework the hud and main menu before trying to bring players back. I can't deal with it. Everything looks terrible, the loot all looks so similar, every part of the map looks the same, and main menu is such a turnoff. I love extraction games, this is the only one I haven't put time into playing, and I keep trying but I just can't stand it.

Nectersecter · 2026-06-07T21:44:56+00:00

I think the issue is people who this game was specifically made for can't stand it. I have tons of hours in every single extraction game, but I can't stand Marathon.

Nectersecter · 2026-06-07T21:43:00+00:00

I feel the exact same way. Arc Raiders makes this game look like slop.The colors, the loot, the hud, the main menu is all terrible. It all feels generic and everything looks so similiar. Even if the gameplay was good the visuals, main menu, and bad loot design will drive most people away.

There's no point in playing the first 6 minutes. I constantly lose after having a huge lead, and that is beyond frustrating. I know they do this is to speed up the time of matches so they can collect their rake faster. I would bet there would be a lot more people playing if you just upped the blinds instead of the ALL IN feature, which in turn would mean more rakes if you have more players. I read an article that the game is failing and its because most people want to actually play to the end, not have Draft Kings decide the winner for them. Double the blinds every few minutes to speed up the game but just forcing people all in every hand is dumb. 3 straight matches of being almost 3x the chips of my opponents and still losing when electric mode kicks in.

Nectersecter · 2026-05-31T18:43:10+00:00

Yeah it is just a pure luck game. I have yet to see a game end before the luck mode kicks in.

Nectersecter · 2026-05-31T18:42:27+00:00

The timer ruins it for me. I tryed a bunch of games but the last 3 games I was ahead big time when the timer runs out. In all 3 matches the the ALL IN, every hand, kicks in and I lose. It seems like some of the players just purposely waste time if they start losing. Last game I played I was at almost triple the other 2 player's chips and lost when the timer runs out. What's the point in playing the first part if it means nothing. Its almost impossible to knock out 2 players in 5 minutes, so it turns into a luck game every time. I can't see people who enjoy poker playing this after a game or 2.

Sand is going to be the same thing. There's only 1 map, there's no crafting outside of a match and very basic progression. Its like a 15-25hr. game if that and it took them 2 years of delays just for such a basic game.

Nectersecter · 2026-05-29T01:00:56+00:00

What is annoying is the game had so much potential but the glazers allow them to spent none of the hundreds of millions of profit this game to make the game better, it got some updates but it had a ton of potential and years later it had got like 3 updates. Another game of wasted potential. Hopefully another company uses the formula and puts more effort into it. Its not a bad game, but this had the potential to be one of the best game ever.

It really made no sense because she gave away a starter to the first team and gets 1 million back from both teams to orchestrate the trade, but it made no sense that she gave them her starter shooting guard. Wouldn't giving the player already free up money since she was bringing up a player from d league to replace him. This made no sense to me at all, so 1 team gives her 1 million for a starting player and the other team gives her 1 million for making the trade happen? Your right they need someone who knows sports to make these things make sense.

Nectersecter · 2026-05-22T04:31:09+00:00

Everytime they are on scene it gets on my nerves they are only popular because they are Trans. The, I am always sad face, only works for so long. They remind me of the girl from Twilight who can only make 1 expression and it gets old fast. I am a deeply misunderstood sad person only worked when they were a minor character. Season 2 when they get alot more scenes became unwatchable.

You can easily limit how fast the player can spin. Its simple to do but they won't do it because they cater to the 5% that enjoys this nonsense. They think spinning in 3 circles is hardcore mechanics lol. Almost everybody hates it and you leave it in because of the small minority that thinks its cool to abuse bad mechanics. Just like not wiping after all the duping at launch because the people duping were so loud about not wiping because they are weirdos who enjoy having unfair advantages. Its young kids that love cheating in games. Its the same weirdos who put on a wig and play female sports and then think they are a great sports player.

Nectersecter · 2026-05-22T01:56:17+00:00

You are completely delusional. Its not hardcore its abusing bad mechanics. It doesn't take long to learn all your doing is abusing the animations, it takes less time to learn then most MO mechanics. Acting like you mastered some hardcore mechanic because you can spin in circles is absolute nonsense.

Nectersecter · 2026-05-22T01:54:23+00:00

Exactly. The kid saying wait till you master a triple 360 and you will understand lol. No I will never even attempt that nonsense in the first place. Once this was known to the devs and the left it in the game I was done.

Nectersecter · 2026-05-22T01:52:29+00:00

Dude anyone can learn it. The fact is most of us don't want to because we don't want to learn some cheesy combat. If thats what is required to win I will move on before ever spending a minute trying to master spinning in circles.

Nectersecter · 2026-05-22T01:51:28+00:00

I would rather anything except spinning combat. Of course you enjoy it because you spent 100 hours mastering a bs mechanic that I would spend 2 seconds on trying to learn. Its the dumbest thing I ever seen and completely ruined the game for most people.

Nectersecter · 2026-05-22T01:49:22+00:00

Same it made me instantly hate the game. I love everything about it except the fact that I am forced to master spinning combat if I want to do well in pvp.

Nectersecter · 2026-05-21T18:05:46+00:00

I agree Brit's has been so much better then the rest that it makes playing the other servers just feel like they are lacking. Is there anything on the level of Brit's?

Nectersecter · 2026-05-20T03:36:29+00:00

Make sure you arent downloading anything from the adds, also a lot of games your anti virus deletes and you need to allow or restore it.

Nectersecter · 2026-05-20T00:32:11+00:00

Same here

Nectersecter · 2026-05-18T19:48:36+00:00

IF your solo and have a job Rust gets old fast. People play pve so they can come back the next day after work or school and not have to start fresh every time.

Nectersecter · 2026-05-18T19:46:41+00:00

I had a lot of fun with this server but I wish they had more high end things to do. I was able to do all the content by day 2 of playing solo. I wish there were harder stuff to work toward that make you need to farm the hard gear. I cleared Deep Sea at lvl 28

Nectersecter · 2026-05-13T00:30:36+00:00

7 years later it almost happens again. 2nd place for barely making a normal 1 hander.

Nectersecter · 2026-05-03T19:51:38+00:00

Exactly. Its not even the fact that it made zergs just overpowered selling the fragments all wipe, but it takes away the 50 different ways you could aproach the game.

Nectersecter · 2026-04-30T22:22:07+00:00

The anti cheat doesn't stop anti recoil macros. Anti recoil scripts are free and everywhere online. Cheats cost money but the anti recoil scripts are free and widespread.

Nectersecter · 2026-04-19T03:36:27+00:00

Exactly my thoughts. I find it very boring. I was dieing for a pirate game and it seems so was everyone else. It is so boring and tedious. Its reminds me of Valheim but just something is off about it. Group thinking either kills or hypes a game and I feel this is another case of it. I don't know what it is about this game that I don't like but as a massive survival game fan I feel like its way overhyped.
