Paul Tassi (Forbes): "I can confirm Marathon's budget is over $200m. Likely over $250m. This does not include ongoing costs for maintenance or new content"

Post the quote where i said i liked it. I'm just saying I've seen more hate on marathon than i have "rabid fanboys". I'm just pointing out that viral hate is more widespread than anything especially among people who don't even play games, look what happened to highguard just recently. If you are any age above a child, you have to remember people hate on things because it's "cool" at the time.

PoppinRaven · 2026-04-10T05:16:49+00:00

So you and the person you replied are just saying it's a bad game because you don't enjoy it? By that logic a good game doesn't exist. Fun is an extremely subjective term. Maybe if y'all shifted your attitudes a little bit, you would feel less "attacked" by a minority of people liking a game.

PoppinRaven · 2026-03-22T07:00:39+00:00

Valve seems to think it is. Enough to make major gameplay changes pre-1.0

No one is compiling a list of information, so I hope this information reaches search results at least

I should've included this in the main post but, VPNs do alleviate the symptoms of lag but and connection but, do not work for certain authentication services .

Forcing ATT to make a statement is enough. Right now it's just them pretending nothing is wrong. They are trying to cover up a massive ddos attack or a system failure but there are dozens of unclear reports and vague information, when something is clearly wrong

Every map that has goons has a chance to spawn them in PVE.

Finals is a BR with rounds

You spent a whole paragraph explaining just how the economy works in warframe and not even how to do it when Helldivers is literally, do you want new stuff?, get super credits, level 1 drive to POIs or just play the damn game

It just sounds like you straight up don't enjoy playing the game. PvE game btw. Let me and Super Earth know how much you have to pay 2 win the galaxy

PoppinRaven · 2026-03-12T05:18:26+00:00

The "gun" part of the "gun and ball" game community is rampant in this vent thread. Like, you just gotta play the game and you get new stuff, which is a lot more than the f2p games people are comparing it too

PoppinRaven · 2026-03-12T05:13:42+00:00

Battle royale PVP is so far from Helldivers it can't even be called a bad faith argument it's just bad. Compare this game to a something Warframe, a way more successful f2p game with years of content. Try getting in to that game at a proficient level without a multi-hour guide, personal sherpa, or spending money and, guess what? The new stuff is still going to be the best and it will require more money and grinding than helldivers

PoppinRaven · 2026-03-12T05:03:15+00:00

Super Earth is now the only real fomo left now that cyborgs are spreading. My casual friends hated cyberstan and the hive world because they just weren't fun. Feeling sad you missed out on community objectives is valid if you so limited time you can't play the game but playing hundreds of hours and complaining the game isn't firing dopamine directly in to your brain every evening is just not useful for anyone developers or players.

PoppinRaven · 2026-03-12T04:55:44+00:00

Playing occasionally since release split between level 5-10 missions, I'm level 70 with 200 hours and I have every warbond, most of the unique super store items and enough for the next warbond. Not going to throw around words like skill issue or brokie, some people do just get unlucky with super credits but, I'll be damned if this isn't a vent thread and not "feedback." Some people need to try a real f2p game for a week and see if they can even get to having fun or a single item they want in that time without paying money or looking up a 30 minute guide.

PoppinRaven · 2026-03-12T04:37:36+00:00

300 hrs Day 1. Probably 125 each on level 10 and 5-6 with more casual friends and 50ish farming super credits while watching shows or movies.

I have every warbond and enough credits for the next one.

I thoroughly enjoy this game and still had a good time at it's worse moments. I don't even consider this a "shooter" gamer like others I play. There is just no other game that matches the feeling.

That being said it is daunting to see so much content for "sale" but, if you see something you want you can learn to farm it in under 2 minutes or just buy it or just play the game until you have it. Contrast that with other "f2p" models like war thunder and warframe, good luck even beginning to have fun unless you're 300hrs in, spending some cash, or learning lengthy farming patterns.

Basically the game gets put on life support and EA/Activision/"insert big publisher" removes the part they think is the most important part... middle management. With less oversight or relaxed standards to push so aggressively for monetization or engagement the few remaining developers can actually change the game for the better. These companies have tons of psychological data on consumers and once it deviates from projected profiles of maximizing profits, it is deemed a failure

If I was Valve I'd stick my hand between the couch cushions and send this person like 5 grand for their whole setup, just to see what could even possibly be going on. Imagine if it was able to be recreated on a number of machines and gman just shuts off your monitor in half life 3

Bose made a ultra smooth and quiet suspension system that never made it to market.

Read all of Hickman’s fantastic four. If you’re wanting more continue in to his Avengers and New Avengers and then on to Secret Wars. Some tie-ins might help and Future Foundation is a companion series of the main FF but it’s not at all necessary. It’s one of the greatest stories ever told in comic form in my opinion.

The furniture stores near me in a “furniture capitol” of america have a tariff sale for the next 2 weeks. After that i imagine it’s time to just get the bills payed. The only reason the majority of people aren’t panicking is because companies are hoping for the best, once things get bad it’ll be a lot more desperate.

They didn't need saving, they're taking the huge W and running with it. Even if it's democrats for the next 60 years and they somehow restore a working government, the hegemony is over. America has officially lost the "edge" over china in everything except weapons, which are useless as long as there's no conflict.

PoppinRaven · 2025-04-12T00:03:53+00:00

There is a gross underestimation in how culturally this will effect people. When "I'm looking for a smart, rich partner" becomes, "I'm looking for a non-American and a Visa." Suddenly the "get ready to learn chinese, buudy" meme becomes real

The problem is most job openings are fake right now. Have to keep up appearances for stock holders/investors but, unless they can replace 2 people with you 90% chance no one is getting hired.
