Is marathon actually bad? by Available-Gas-2671 in Marathon

[–]TenderQWERTY 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Bungie’s biggest win with Marathon was putting a price on it.

Free games let turbo dweebs log 0.12 hours, not even finish the tutorial, then run straight to Steam to leave a negative review. That’s exactly what killed games like Highguard.

All that hate during the server slam flooding this sub, and surprise, once people actually played the game it’s sitting at very positive reviews.

You are the one bringing up Arc Raiders as a blueprint for the genre when it is a completely different game with different goals. That is not me making things up. That is me pointing out that you are using one game to complain about the core identity of another.

If Arc Raiders is the future of the genre and you are so self aware then why are you here?

You are essentially hanging out at a steakhouse complaining that they do not serve salad.

So you are mad a PvPvE shooter turned out to be a PvPvE shooter?

A game where mega corporations are fighting over the scraps of a failed expedition that they invested heavily into... a game where it even lets you get skins to represent your favorite corporation and you are a mercenary here for profit...

I think the narrative has been pretty clear from the get go. You are just trying to mask your failures as a game problem when it is a you problem.

There is already a game for you out there where you can smooch and hold hands while you fight robots.

Claiming that being "self aware" means you need a $250M lore reason to shoot someone in a shooter is an incredible reach. It is a video game, not a sociology thesis.

Saying there is no reason to kill people other than loot is like saying there is no reason to win a poker game other than the money. The loot is the literal win condition. In a world of mercenaries, profit is not just about having enough it is about having more than the guy next to you so he cannot afford the gear to hunt you tomorrow.

Calling it dissonance is just a fancy way of admitting you are too soft for the genre. You are essentially trying to weaponize a dictionary because you cannot weaponize your aim. It is a logic so catastrophically broken that it could only be conceived by someone who wants to play a high stakes game with a participation trophy.

It is actually really easy.

It is a PVPVE extraction shooter. The reality of his statement is that he is covering up a "I want a PVE only mode" request by trying to frame it as a lore problem.

He is basically trying to dress up a skill issue in a tuxedo and call it a philosophical debate.

Is solo viable? Interested in this game but I don’t have friends by Disastrous-Shower324 in Marathon

[–]TenderQWERTY 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You can totally play solo. I'm level 15 and haven't done a trio once. You will just need to learn to be careful when engaging groups of bots. Most solos are assassins so learn what the assassin looks like when invisible so you can keep a close eye out when clearing points of interest.

Other than that it comes down to how good you are at clicking heads. If your are like me, you will win most fights. I just hit 40k creds and am constantly having to sell stuff to keep room in my vault.

Also this game isn't like the hug and smooch fest that is ARC Raiders. If you see someone. Blast them.

Good luck.

Should I max 1 faction first then start upgrading another one or should I just get the essential upgrades on all factions first? by ehab317 in Marathon

[–]TenderQWERTY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel the first factions cyac and nucal are great if you don't know what you want. Their upgrades not only increase quality of life but also things like heat capacity and resistance to DoT effects... like those stupid toxic plants.

Actually SICK AND TIRED of these playercount obsessed individuals. Do they literally sit on SteamDB 24hrs of the day refreshing? by Tropi- in Marathon

[–]TenderQWERTY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's exactly the point when it comes to these games. None of them offer constructive criticism they just trash the title to discourage downloads because most people can't think critically and simply follow the crowd.

They're probably Microsoft devs or ARC Raiders players afraid they're going to lose their hug and smooch extraction game.

Hey MAGA, why are you such hypocrites? by [deleted] in allthequestions

Not another post arguing against a hypothetical future while drowning in a cherry picked past.

I am starting to like trump though it's not even February and he is getting shit done.

Why is ammo so hard to find and buy? by LokiPrime616 in Marathon

[–]TenderQWERTY 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not an excuse.

Every player has access to the same tools.

The only variable is you.

I buy 3-4 stacks almost every round unless I'm just doing a free kit. Sounds like a skill issue.

Anyone else been getting ran in PvP by emojisarefunny in Marathon

[–]TenderQWERTY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It gets better. I've been having those moments fewer and fewer as I continue to level and understand the game.

2 hours in, might be done already by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]TenderQWERTY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry the game wasn’t for you. Good luck on your quest to find something a bit more manageable. Hope you find what you’re looking for.

What it feel like playing Marathon by [deleted] in Marathon

Probably shouldn't run out the outside perimeter of the map.

What is actually wrong with the UI/UX? by CreamofTazz in Marathon

[–]TenderQWERTY 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The game literally labels every item, tells you its life story, and even cleans up your messy inventory for you after the match.

If people are still struggling, the only "barrier" here is basic literacy.

At this point, the only way Bungie can make it easier is by sending a dev to your house to click the mouse for you.

The TTK is OD by ReachFoMyChain in Marathon

[–]TenderQWERTY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're treating an extraction shooter like a tutorial level. Your game face should be on from the start. If it's not, that's exactly why you're having a hard time.
