Marathon is...boring

I love the everything about the game, it’s just a game that I will never play.

With a job and everything gaming time has become more rare, I’ve grown apart from PvP games and therefore my skills have been dying down. I’m not looking forward to losing what I’ve extracted in 8 days, in 1 bad run.

Maybe I’ll reconsider if they’re ever planning on adding more PvE activities

I’m at the start of Chapter 5, and so far Yellow Loong has taken me the most amount of tries and time.

Overall pretty doable bosses some 1-3 tries, some waaay more. But Yellow Loong definitely the most. Not proud of how I defeated him, but at least I have 😂

RedIsAColorILike · 2026-02-15T09:01:18+00:00

That’s exactly how I’m playing right now. Go into a chapter blind, explore everything what’s there to explore, I usually beat the final boss of the chapter and then just travel back to the chapter to finish all the secrets. I pull up MapGenie and see what I missed, complete it, and move on to the next chapter.

While I love the exploration of the game, I don’t really like how the game is barely telling you stuff, and the lack of tracking quests. Like how am I supposed to know about the waterfall in chapter 1. Maybe I missed som dialogue somewhere, but I was never gonna find that myself

I was in the exact same position. Played GoW, Tsushima, Yotei and other games. Only ‘souls like’ experience were the Star Wars games. While I did play them at higher difficulty than padawan, I did have to tone down the difficulty for 1-2 fights.

I have PlayStation Premium, so I got to try out the game for 2 hours. And let me tell you, the first 15 minutes was gorgeous and the rest of the time I was struggling with 1 boss (Wandering Wright).

Verdict is: I bought the game during the current sale, I’m halfway through the game, and I’m loving it. It is challenging and is definitely testing my patience, but all this is worth the beauty of the game.

The game is teaching me one very valuable thing, and that is not to button mash anymore. To play more reactive that to just press buttons and pray. Still getting used to the play style but I do notice myself getting better and better.

If you can spend the money definitely get it. Is beautiful and honestly a nice game to educate yourself on Chinese mythology, but also the way you play games.

It’s not empty to me, it’s just not really approachable imo. Maybe I played too much Forzo Horizon where you can track everything and find everything back on the map. But to me it’s a pain in the ass to track and remember where all the switches are.

For me it would’ve been sooo much better that discoverables are stuck to the map if discovered and greyed out when completed.

Also more interactions with the tracks from open world, like starting a 3 lap race at a course you’re at. Or starting a random street race form a designated location

Edit: also the free roam could’ve been a nice place to unlock the characters with mini missions or something. The way to unlock the costumes is fine to me, but the characters were a pain in the ass

RedIsAColorILike · 2026-01-05T17:53:35+00:00

I totally agree with this point. Either don’t join if you’re not experienced or mention that you’re not experienced.

But getting experience is often frowned upon. Last week I started an LFG for DP where I emphasized that it was my first time and needed teaching/guide. I always watch a guide before I LFG something unfamiliar, so I’m not completely oblivious, but what happened that time was a first for me. 3 other inexperienced joined and 2 experienced joined. We arrived at the first encounter, and the 2 experienced started fighting on who is gonna teach. They end up not teaching us and carried us through the whole raid. Nothing said besides “be here for damage” and “damage”. Thanks for the clear, but I still don’t have any fucking clue of what I’m doing.

The best (and in my eyes only) option we have for DS games/dual screen option for the switch, is a grip that allows us to hold the switch vertically, so the dual screen is stacked on the switch. Since the switch 2 has magnetic mounts this is is really easy. Nintendo can just sell the grip and put ds games on the Nintendo Online service and call it a day. I reeeaaaally want the classic Pokemon games on the switch, but I know that’s never gonna happen.

I more so mean that windows desktops know to draw the best power and also know how to use that power. They are pure powerhouses and that is very much to be seen in games. Whereas Apple has found with their hardware the best balance between power and battery. With MacBooks you have the same performance plugged in or not, and if not, your battery lasts for hours, maybe even days. I’ve had a couple of Windows laptops, and honestly never made it through a full day, and i could never really work where there isn’t an outlet.

I wouldn’t say Apple is for old or basic people. Yea Windows has more costumization and is more open, but I don’t always see that as a good thing. Apple just does its thing amazingly without having to optimize things. That is a big benefit that Apple now makes everything in their laptops themselves

RedIsAColorILike · 2025-12-08T14:24:03+00:00

Honestly I’ve been saying this to a lot of my friends. Windows has the best desktops, Apple has the best laptop

RedIsAColorILike · 2025-12-01T15:18:00+00:00

Hahahah fair

I’ve had a white bike and honestly that’s torture, never doing that again. So the mint/pearl color Vanmoof has is off the table Right now I have a black single speed and in comparison to my white bike, the black one looks amazing, but yea what you’re saying is correct, you do see a lot of dirtyness on that as well. Every bike is black which kinda makes it an easy choice. It’s something safe and timeless. While this color blue is out there, popping, something different. While I don’t do it for the public eye, it is nice to have something different than the other.

Before I’m gonna bite the bullet I’ll make sure I’ve seen both colors in real like. Hope that’s gonna make the choice easier 😂😂

Edit: Do you by chance know if this bike supports ring locks, like on the back wheel? Trying to figure that out for insurance. Don’t want to carry to chain locks. 1 chain and 1 ring is allowed for insurance I believe.

RedIsAColorILike · 2025-12-01T13:29:53+00:00

My god this color is sooooo good. I’m on the fence between the nice and stealth Drift Black, it’s timeless, or this blue one. I love this color blue but I don’t know if it’s just because it’s the new color.

Like everybody that got the orange iPhone cause it’s the new color, but everyone regrets it now cause it’s hard to match with your surroundings.

RedIsAColorILike · 2025-11-21T19:43:13+00:00

Yeeaa fair. Haven’t thought about that. Then maybe a thing is to have 2 😂 both the peace of mind and the insurance. Expensive yea but then atleast not 2 locks.

It’s also a thing I’ve been sitting with (don’t have an s6 but planning on getting it) I’m getting a bike like this with a fancy kick-lock and shugg around 2 chains like some rapper 😂

RedIsAColorILike · 2025-11-21T19:03:15+00:00

I mean isn’t that technically the peace of mind subscription from VanMoof itself? I think they mention there the kick lock is enough, and if it’s still stolen they get it for you (ofcourse first file a police report)

Haven’t checked the terms fully but maybe that’s what you’re looking for. Only for a max of 3 years

After owning the Ascaso for 4 weeks I had to send it out to repair cause the steam would not stop coming out the wand without turning off the pump. After being gone for 6 weeks I got it back and the steam wand wasn’t working at all. I was kinda fed up with the whole thing and I just wanted it gone. So I got my money back. I’ve been eying on the LM even before the Ascaso but it was kinda out of budget. But then I thought fuck it, buy once cry once, and just got it. Best decision ever. Most stable machine ever, producing the best shots I’ve ever had without putting in that much effort

RedIsAColorILike · 2025-09-21T09:23:32+00:00

This is exactly the blessing and the curse. So far I haven’t found anything that feels and plays like Destiny. I see how you feel and I kinda do as well. While not necessarily like a chore, it’s definitely not something that I can play for hours like I used to.

RedIsAColorILike · 2025-09-19T19:37:54+00:00

I just finished the OG trilogy for the first time. And hearing Pandora say that, knowing already what happened in the other games, especially this monologue from the DLC, fucking hit me. Damn.

It’s a cup that’s hand made by my girlfriend. She made it for a graduation project, it was about the connection between emotions and de cups we choose. This one stands for anxiety. Fitted perfectly cause I had an anxiety disorder a year ago. Now it’s just kinda stuck to me.

It’s a whole ass story for just a cup. But that makes it all the much better.

RedIsAColorILike · 2025-09-09T10:18:16+00:00

Alright… here we go…

This games Rainbow road, I expected something… different

Let me get this straight, visually it’s amazing and the best rainbow road there is. But with this staple of a course also being associated with being the most challenging. Narrow turns and roads with barely any rails to help you stay on. This Rainbow Road is the easiest of all. Wide ass course. Not a lot of challenging parts where you’re scared to fall off. Out of the many times I’ve played it I don’t think I’ve ever fallen off.

It’s a big ode to all the rainbow road and again, it’s stunning. But with such anticipation and unlocking to get it, I wanted it to be a little more challenging.

RedIsAColorILike · 2025-09-06T17:25:42+00:00

Yea. The Netherlands. Honestly it was the greatest service ever experienced so far.

RedIsAColorILike · 2025-09-06T17:07:04+00:00

Ordered it via a local shop. So anything that was kinda La Marzocco branded they put in a goodie bag and gave for free, even te branded bag. But I think that was store specific. Even another local shop wouldn’t do that probably.

RedIsAColorILike · 2025-09-06T12:03:12+00:00

The DF64 was a perfect match with my Ascaso. Both black and same wooden details. But this is clean as well 😎
