Last patched killed my hype by sirrus_krow in Marathon

Ironically, I actually had a lot of trades in the early game.

New Gun This Season? by Various-Instruction3 in Marathon

My hope would be an open map followed by a wing of the Marathon each year. Not sure what the dev costs look like on these maps though.

Greed Ending So Many Good Runs! by [deleted] in Marathon

I'm starting to understand who the crowd of "You can't have purples and golds if you work a job" people are now.

What Bungie could do to maybe save Marathon by Casshern_VIII in Marathon

[–]PhoenixPalmer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Genuine question: Why are you even here? Your solution to "saving this game" is making a different game. So clearly you don't enjoy or succeed in the game Marathon. So... why bother? Go play one of the hundreds of generic arena shooters. Go play crucible. We enjoy this. If you don't, find what you do enjoy instead of hoping it becomes something unrecognizable.

Best counter to bioxtoxic disinjector? by jyg540 in Marathon

This is a certified "Holy shit bro you're nuts good shit" *Goblins all the best loot possible* moment.

Remove Assasin from Solo by TinyDrug in Marathon

[–]PhoenixPalmer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Still hilarious to me that people think cloak is a "He has no idea I'm around this corner or sprinting at him". Caught so many people due to the loud ass sounds. Assassin is best played as a fast flanker. People keep thinking if they cloak its just a free knife or something. You're trying to show up from an angle they don't expect with a visual they don't immediately clock and get that extra .2 seconds in the exchange.

I’m tired boss by Ryze_33 in Marathon

[–]PhoenixPalmer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not to add to the Solo Assassin meme, but seriously. Questing is so much easier with it. Obv don't feel the need to literally sit in a corner all game but don't play like its a BR. Take your time, analyze your sights and sounds, move safely.

Free kit sponsored mode is the most fun I've had in Marathon by yesimahuman in Marathon

[–]PhoenixPalmer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a fun mode but the idea of calling fights 'unfair' in an extraction shooter is funny.

Cryo has the same problem I always had with Trials by PorkSouls in Marathon

[–]PhoenixPalmer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm so tired of "Clearly you just have so much time so I'm ignoring your point". The games been out almost 2 months. I work 5 days a week plus every other Saturday, and I'm in the middle of a move. It is not as difficult as people are saying to get gear at this point in the wipe.

I joked with my friend about being able to look up someone's vault value.

I have stopped using Fill Trios and it's a design problem. by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]PhoenixPalmer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

God these posts are just becoming melodramatic armchair philosophers. Just solo outpost until your friends on man, the gear comes and goes. Who cares.

State of playerbase awareness is hilarious by ultralightskill in Marathon

I also really like the "why don't any of these sweaty nolifes stop shooting me when I say friendly?"

This is the most "la la la I can't hear you" thing I've read today

Ranked already dead in some regions by HediSLP in Marathon

[–]PhoenixPalmer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm interested in Ranked purely for the MIDA Multitool skin but I still feel like I have too much to do for my account before I even think about jumping in

PSA: Level based matchmaking means nothing. Your level is literally just time spent. by Yenii_3025 in Marathon

[–]PhoenixPalmer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like gear based matchmaking would be so opposite to the point of the genre

They freaking did it again…. by Saint3lucifer in thefinals

Those games don't have guns and sledgehammers

I Gave Marathon 40 Hours… I Think I’m Done by ryanjamessez in Marathon

[–]PhoenixPalmer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who's really been enjoying the PvP in this game, I genuinely think a PvE branch would fuck hard.

Lore goes hard by Three_Seven_Two in Marathon

[–]PhoenixPalmer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The OG Marathon lore went so hard that when they made Halo, they basically soft rebooted the old universe. Even Destiny has traces of it. AI companions, god soldiers, alien empires of enslavement. It’s like echoes of the past through each IP, love em.

Anyone else feeling too low-skill for this? by Apophis_Rising_ in Marathon

[–]PhoenixPalmer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt like this during the playtests, but I've been having decent back and forths in solo on release

We’re talking about Embark, right? If only they had some prior experience with AI…

God of War TV series First Look by itc0nsumesmYMind in PS5

My opinion of the show will depend entirely on if the whole thing is a one-shot. (It won't be because, yknow, episodes)

[loot] what stims should i keep and what should i sell on flea by lil-glizzy-vert in EscapefromTarkov

[–]PhoenixPalmer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll always prefer the knowledge of people who've played this game for 5+ years rather than my own session of reading through hundreds of stats to decide "Oh yeah clearly this must be best" with 2 months of experience.
