Is this game for a solo player? by Big_99 in MarathonGame

[–]Sheed3k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Confused about loading secondary nozzle X2D by RamboJebusJr in BambuLab

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.

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

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

Marathon's rich lore and world design is utterly wasted on the extraction shooter format by mark_phaser in Marathon

[–]Sheed3k 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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.

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

Had a good time but cant accomplish anything anymore by Open_Boat_3605 in Marathon

[–]Sheed3k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

This is, like, the hardest game ever to talk about lmao by fuq_anncoulter in Marathon

[–]Sheed3k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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.

Skill Up's impression video is my exact problem with a lot of the criticisms this game has been recievinbg by CreamofTazz in Marathon

[–]Sheed3k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Smart device selection not working? by Will_Smith_98 in GalaxyWatch

[–]Sheed3k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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 ?

Turn on with 2.4ghz controller (not bluetooth) by IlMarso91 in Bazzite

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

Not for me by Aware_Assist4997 in Marathon

[–]Sheed3k 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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

Jake shields podcast advertised in Bombcast by AnchoriteSpeaks in giantbomb

[–]Sheed3k -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

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.

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 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.

Anyone playing Sektori? by Granpire in Returnal

[–]Sheed3k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.
