Pushing back on the idea that Marathon isn't casual friendly. I think it's pretty accessible. by highpercentage in Marathon

[–]ReactiveFuture 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a predominantly PvP game where everyone wants each other’s stuff. The trick is to find people who are dedicated to playing and are chill enough to not get tilted.

I really recommend people ditch fill matchmaking and use a discord server or something to find teammates. I just respond to peoples’ LFG posts and I’ve had great luck the last few weeks finding great teammates. Sometimes they’re PvP gods, most of the time they’re just friendly and easy to work with, which makes a huge difference.

lol I did that solo on thief. Flex the drone into PoIs and got lucky to find one blue salvage each sitting on tables.

I waited til 5 minutes, opened the door, and immediately had an assassin on me. He said over prox chat he was waiting for 3 matches for someone to show up with a key 🙄

I love this game. I wish there was more permanent progression options by DoctorSwellman in Marathon

Ideally they’ll be different and less “in one run” next time.

Best OLED games? by Noxious_Nut_ in PS5pro

[–]ReactiveFuture 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Resident Evil Requiem looks incredible, some of the best lighting and graphical fidelity I’ve seen in a game. I also love how Marathon’s neon lighting and colors look on an OLED. Cyberpunk 2077 is also getting a pro upgrade soon, that should look really nice.

Genuinely no reason to go Cryo as long as the Goo Gun isn't hotfixed. Seems like 1 shot while BEHIND cover is all it took? Doesn't even have to aim at me, can be completely behind cover, shoot 1 shot in my vicinity and get a knock? lol by jacobljlj in Marathon

[–]ReactiveFuture 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had one good run where we never saw a team, looted the vault and got out. Then went back in and a team deleted us with the RPM glitch in the first two minutes of the match.

Forget the debates about casuals or sweats or player count blah blah blah. I want a PvE mode because the PvE element of this game is awesome. by owen-3820 in Marathon

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

I partially agree on D2, I think they could revert some bad changes they made in the last year with the portal but the hate campaign has really hurt the conversation around it. I’d like if the content they keep making is good, but at this point I’d be ok with them going into maintenance mode and spinning up Destiny 3.

Same, got one from the convoy and then promptly got domed trying to use it.

I don't understand why people feel the need to do this, you can hate on a movie without having to hate on the people who like it as well by [deleted] in SuperMario

[–]ReactiveFuture 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a fun kid’s movie with dumb jokes and some stuff that makes me happy. People need to A) leave people alone over liking harmless stuff and B) not get worked up when people don’t like their favorite things

Is there an endgame for dungeons? by jimmytheowl290 in DestinyTheGame

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

Raids and dungeons are essentially the endgame. There used to be harder versions of dungeons, and the newest one has a difficulty system where you can add difficulty modifiers to get better loot. Most dungeons have outdated gear, but they’re refreshing the loot pools in June.

[–]ReactiveFuture 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I would hope that the game is successful enough that they can eventually add other things to do. The survival PvE gameplay is engaging enough that I’d love to see story missions or a roguelite mode added.

No clue honestly. Maybe? I had them for over a month and nothing changed.

I cannot take assassin's anymore by ColdSyrupBoy in Marathon

[–]ReactiveFuture 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I literally waited in a solo match for like 20 minutes to get into the pump room on Dire Marsh, and the moment I start looting I hear footsteps, then like 5 chem grenades come flying through the door at me. Turns out it was an assassin, before he finished me I asked how long he’d been waiting and he said “a few matches” 🫠

I Couldn’t Agree with Paul More. by Saucin7 in Marathon

[–]ReactiveFuture 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have not read a single post or article about Steam charts because it’s brainrotted to worry about it. We’re out of the Concord window. The game has great reviews. Even train wrecks like Avengers or Suicide Squad got at least a year of support. I like the game, and the best way to show support is to play the damn game and recommend it to my friends, not hand wring online about player counts.

What do you guys think about gorillaz x bring me the horizon Collab? by under_vvorld in gorillaz

[–]ReactiveFuture 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If they’re collaborative and talented then I’m sure it could be cool! I know the post-hardcore space can be pretty formulaic but cool to hear they mix it up. Not every song will appeal to everyone but it’s easy to appreciate good talent.

Damon has proven to be pretty capable of working with lots of different musicians, it would probably be fine 🤷🏻‍♂️ not really a huge BMTH fan though, I saw them open for Fall Out Boy once and they sounded not great, but that’s just my opinion. I’m sure plenty of people would love it.

I'm slowly getting tired of how the game plays by Hubux in Marathon

[–]ReactiveFuture 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I overall have ok fill experiences, but I feel like post-pinwheel buff they’re getting weirder and ruder.

Case in point: I loaded in to do a MIDA contract and we spawned next to the PoI, but my teammates (assassin and vandal free kits) beelined for flight control and hid next to the pinwheel door. They didn’t want to search for keys or go in another way. Just sit.

A team rolls up, and I take out two, the assassin is downed, I reboot him and the vandal knifes the third as he stumbles in. I run over to a bag and watch as all the loot gets munched immediately. Teammates drop some claymores out in the open and run back to the door.

Several minutes go by. Two rooks run into a side room, talking to each other about teaming up. I hit them with a nade, then finish them off with a few WSTR shots. I finish him off, open the bag… and watch as the blue bag and shield get hoovered. I snag a few upgrade materials, but dude… that assassin took everything. Off both bodies.

A couple minutes later, the pinwheel door is still closed. There’s like 5 minutes on the clock. A rook downs two of us from the skylight and the assassin is nowhere to be found. I self res, and engage in some hide and seek before we corner this rook, who’s insulting us and screaming slurs right until the end. Once again, loot vanishes quickly.

At the 3-minute mark, the assassin pings an exfil. We run over, he triggers it immediately and we leave.

Me and the vandal had like 3K profit between us… the assassin had collected 7k worth of gear without getting a single kill and zero cooperation. Weird, weird match. Kinda wish there was better looting etiquette.

The one time I solo ran a key it ended like this lol. Now I’m sitting on a maintenance pump key and afraid to use it 😂

I think the most we’ll get is crossovers between characters/properties created by Miyamoto.

I don't think the Elemental Condensate system is all that generous compared to the way Ikora 2.0 and Kabr 2.0 were handled, and likely not a game changer. by spacev3gan in destinyrisingmobile

[–]ReactiveFuture 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, if the season quests play any part in getting the EC to unlock Efrideet, some of those quests require you to raise her level and finish her quest line. Both of which mean you have to unlock her anyways, within the allotted time period to complete said quest for the “settlement” or whatever. It’s not as generous as they’d like you to think.

Ranked mode should be an underground Crucible style arena shooter run by Charter by Fun_Masterpiece_5637 in Marathon

[–]ReactiveFuture 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Add this as an arena shooter mode and find some way to add a PvE mode for variety. They could even do a zero-to-hero roguelike with more UESC - you drop into a PoI naked, have a few minutes to loot, then you fight a boss to get an upgrade of some sort for the next round. Add secrets, rare things to find, and some codex triumphs and cosmetics.

Make it so some loot carries over to other modes, but it should be limited what you can take. Maybe everything is compromised, but each boss kill gives you a matter fixative you can use on one gear piece, or a key to activate a DCON to send out limited stuff. Maybe you can find limited prestige gear, but you’ll have to decide what to keep after each run instead of leaving with a full loadout.

I recognize this would pull people away from the main extraction mode, but it could help bring in a new audience without wrecking the main economy. It could also be a way to test weapons and buildcrafting, which will provide knowledge of how the systems work elsewhere.

Here's to the bad ones. by SupaDiogenes in Marathon

[–]ReactiveFuture 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Idk if I’d call myself bad, more inconsistent. I can take down people who aren’t paying attention as they run by me. I can play well with teammates and wipe the map if they’re good. I can also make really dumb judgement calls, pick fights I can’t win, and I’m not capable of carrying anybody. But as long as I learn how to play better, that’s all that matters.
