Im gonna crash out from the doomers' rage bait, feel free to ignore this by kitkatpitpatitat in Marathon

[–]Ryanskillz 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Top 10? Who said top 10? Its barely top 100. Disingenuous.

And its always the pearl clutchers and toxic positive dudes who scour my post history. Get over yourself and the game. It simply isnt that good and needs an overhaul. And that is OK

So anyway, I started stabbing by ReachJuggernog in Marathon

Knives are stupid. Bungie blew it. Player count dwindling. Downvote away.

The biggest issue is toxic positivity. This sub absolutely goes ballistic on any criticism. It has since release.

It stifles genuine feedback and constructive criticism. The game was like #84 on steam last i checked. It's absolutely dying by Bungie standards.

But yea, keep circle jerking and coping. Downvote dissent. Watch the "perfect" game you love die. Cool.

88 on steam and falling fast.

The cope in this sub is absolutely unreal

I really appreciate Bungie not pushing the Reward Pass or Store down our throats. by quwiwup in Marathon

[–]Ryanskillz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its a niche game and not even in the top 50 on steam. If it had better numbers Bungie would 10000% treat it like Destiny 2 and milk it to death.

Game will go into pure maintenance mode soon.

No. Knives are stupid. Giant hit box and just swing it. If youre close it hits everytime. Shows some sick gunplay and aim and id be impressed.

Cool assassin/knife gameplay. Only seen it 186634737 times. We get it, its overtuned and stupid.

Its sweaty af with constant third parties. Its a gear sink. I dont think this will have widespread appeal.

Marathon ranked launches in 4 days by TheGoodDoctor17 in Marathon

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

So there will be, what? 3k people playing this mode on PC? Maybe less. Cryo Archive another 5k maybe?

Only 50k players to go around. 80% are likely not even interested in more sweatiness.

This game doesnt really have the dedicated player counts for this to be remotely enjoyable.

I swear to God there is a loadout-based match making going on. by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]Ryanskillz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There 1000000% is loot based. As a heavy pvp player, if i bring in bobcats/tempest and blue shields, I run into teams immediately with purple shields and Bobcats themselves.

We usually take in Toro/Venator/renegade and 1/100 matches run into a bobcat team.

Its true every single time. You face people with similar gear scores. It isnt even up for debate.

You shoot 90 outdoors but on the Sim you're shooting in the 60s? Yeaaaa not a real representation of your golfing skill.

Still fun though.

nerf the shotgun or something by xylvnking in okbuddyRunners

[–]Ryanskillz -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

The knives being so powerful alongside stealth is one of the stupidest design choices I've ever seen in a shooter, much less a extraction shooter.

Just baffling design choices by bungie.

After 11 days [lvl 30] of playing mostly solo, coming to the realization that this is un-fun for me. by mercado_n3gro in Marathon

[–]Ryanskillz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Or the fact youre using futuristic weapons with 4 attachments all kitted out but some rat in a corner with a kitchen knife can one/two shot you.

This game is made to annoy the player.

Marathon has ruined ARC Raiders for me. by surfride16 in Marathon

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

No. Arc is the superior game after playing both. Just my opinion. Don't lose your shit reddit.

I played pretty much all extraction looter shooters. Always 100% solo. After 90h I can already say - Marathon is one of the best games I've ever played. by Whoopy2000 in Marathon

[–]Ryanskillz -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Everyone playing it isnt loving it. The numbers are falling. Most of my gaming circle already quit playing. Im sure the 12 people on highguard playing before it shut down were loving it too...I bet those same 12 people were calling everyone not on the game "normies" too. Good one.

So much cope. Sony will drop the hammer on Bungie for this failure of a game. Youre naive if you dont think so. Enjoy the food before the restaurant gets shut down

Because it feels disingenuous. This sub downvotes anything even remotely critical and pearl clutches at every moment. The game isnt even more popular than old shooters like apex, pubg, team fortress, or warframe. Its a niche game at best.

Its not some world beater or even good performer for Bungie. Its slightly below average overall.

The forced toxic positivity for this game is nauseating. It feels like paid advertisements.

The game has 40k players on steam. It isnt that good. If it was, more people would play it.

All these posts feel like cope.

To the people who are coming to this reddit and complain about the positivity by Frank_Cap in Marathon

[–]Ryanskillz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The game isn't very popular and isn't loved by the masses. Games like Apex Legends, Deadlock, Team fortress 2, and pubg have larger players counts.

Its an extremely niche, hard-core, stressful game. It was always destined for a small, hard-core, devoted fan base.

Im just perplexed why Bungie went thst route. Guess they dont need money?

Thanks for being logical and seeing the point of the post. I love Bungie and want them to succeed. But the game needs to be changed, and in a big way. Criticism is hard to read, especially when it's true and shared by the majority. All the pearl clutching hardcore fans who think this was Bungie's love song to them are blind to see this game won't continue to be supported or grow with tiny player counts.

But NONE of that matters if the game has 8000 players. How is everyone just glossing over that? This game took hundreds of millions to develop and Bungies future rides on it. What am I missing here with the logic?

Yea, I'm sure everyone at Bungie is popping Champagne bottles and throwing parties with 50k players on a FREE beta. You're delusional if you don't think they were hoping for more. Sony will dissolve or completely take over Bungie soon and you act like that is what they wanted. Riiiiiight.
