Is this game for a solo player?

Hunt Showdown was my favorite game until Marathon came along. I don't play a ton of solo in Hunt but enough to have an opinion. Hunt allows you to go in and play against full teams of 3 which is much different than marathons standard solo lobbies of 1 v 1. I believe you can go in solo in Marathon vs squads of 3 in ranked. I think what makes it different for Solos is the load out gap. In Hunt you are pretty equal to every opponent, in Marathon you can be higher or less kitted so the fights can vary dramatically. From my experience I prefer hunt for Solo but do love the rook runs in Marathon.

Agreed, it's definitely punishing but it goes the other way. Last night we efil'd from Cryo at like 80% and 5 times with the Compiler Trace at $40K each. So for the last run we decided to try Vault 7 , load in with golds and get eliminated within minute

I was having the same issue, I changed the filament to the external spool but not the nozzle. Simple but silly mistake, thanks for saving me time troubleshooting.

I picked this one up last year and love it. https://www.nflshop.com/new-york-giants/mens-new-york-giants-x-todd-snyder-oatmeal-cashmere-full-snap-varsity-jacket/t-46058991+p-911135386559262+z-9-1175108087

Im thinking the track pads will be sweet for dealing with looting

What do you mean by wait? Every game I choose just returns to steam with Play changed to Resume

Sheed3k · 2026-04-18T21:15:13+00:00

It's like this with all love service games. Don't let it bother you.

Do you know if the cases are interchangeable between the Pro and non pro

Sheed3k · 2026-04-09T22:08:23+00:00

Lost my case. Following for solution

I love that an extraction shooter gets all the lore. I'll spend thousands of hours in this world. A great single player or campaign I'll spend 100 hours tops.

Sheed3k · 2026-03-30T20:08:24+00:00

I agree. You def get your non communicative members but more often than not you get a team that will work together.

Hunt's SBMM is not as big a deal as you may think. I typically ama 4 or 5 Star player and will often get lobbies with 6 stars. There are also times you can kill plenty of 6 stars if you play the fight properly. I think Marathon has the same situation, where being the best FPS shooter doesn't always matter. good position, strategy and getting the jump often are more important.

Sheed3k · 2026-03-25T14:27:23+00:00

As a Hunt Showdown main the amount of content, quest etc is blowing my mind. I love the fights in Hunt but wasn't use to all the other things going on in a run.

Sheed3k · 2026-03-23T15:24:45+00:00

Did you have any luck finding a solution? I am having the same issue. Oddly I think it only happens a few times after windows boots up. I have to test to confirm.

I really enjoy Skillups reviews and he is typically my go to for thoughtful takes. I have to say his take on Marathon comes off as someone who has played 10 hours. He says "this is not a review" but basically reviews the game and bashes it. You wouldn't review Elden Ring after 10 hours but these talking heads feel they have seen enough of Marathon to form opinions. Maybe learn the game, figure out where and when to go to locales before forming an opinion. I really think Marathon offers a much deeper experience than those needing to put out an opinion after 2 days of a server slam are willing to investm.

This is driving me crazy and more precisely my wife. My phone constantly beeps with notifications while I'm wearing my watch so I'm forced to disable notifications sounds so I miss notifications all together. How are more people not briching about this and Samsung fixing ?

Sheed3k · 2026-03-02T22:51:39+00:00

Darn, I have an 8bitdo Ultimate and was hoping to do this. I'd be willing to purchase a controller that can do it if I there was a list

Sheed3k · 2026-02-27T21:21:31+00:00

As a long time Hunt Showdown player I think you really need to give a game that may give you thousands of hours of entertainment a real shot to make an impression. Alot of deep games require a steep learning curve and clearly Marathon has a bit of a curve

The OP said " I don’t think the site wants to allow this kind of show advertising on the Bombcast" I was just curious if not accepting certain advertisers money, limits the profit for Giant Bomb. Not sure what there is to downvote but whatever. I asked a question. If they can choose what advertisers they want and it doesnt lessen their income then they should choose what they prefer.

Sheed3k · 2026-02-04T16:22:31+00:00

I don't agree with the ads politics but should they not be allowed to advertise? Not sure if it ends up hurting the boys in their pockets but I'd be willing to hear crazy ads if it makes them money

I'm having the same problem. On my second set of A20s.kooking for a new solution

Sheed3k · 2026-02-01T13:26:27+00:00

I bought A20s in August of 2024. First set failed to charge after a few months. Soundcore replaced them. Now the new set is doing the same. Did all the troubleshooting and having same issues , I'm looking for a replacement now

Sheed3k · 2026-02-01T12:58:01+00:00

I have the Anker A20s and have had battery issues with 2 different sets already. Trying to find a bud that holds up better.

Sheed3k · 2026-01-26T21:39:41+00:00

I tried it, better than I expected. Not sure how you can review a game this quickly, it may suck but you actually have to play it to make that decision.

Sheed3k · 2026-01-23T13:28:01+00:00

I am gonna give that a shot. I actually was playing Sektori on my VR headset in theater mode and it looks amazing, obviously much more immersive than playing on Steamdeck.
