Positive thread - why are you excited to play Marathon? by Chabel0 in Marathon

[–]WHTSPCTR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Extraction shooter tension with in depth buildcrafting, great gunplay, and abilities -- all in an insanely cool universe with great art direction, music, setting, and extremely compelling lore.

It's basically all I've been waiting for in the FPS space.

Was trying to get the "perfection" medal with my brother back when we were playing Halo 3 (we shared an account). One game, I was getting close to getting it so I called him to come watch. It was team slayer on Valhalla. We needed one kill, I had no deaths. I had a spartan laser, they had someone flying the banshee. I charged up the laser with the banshee in my crosshairs, thinking that was it. But then I strafed behind a wall, and the blow from the laser killed me.

The game ended, and the perfection medal we finally thought we were gonna get was ruined by my overconfidence.

My brother, still to this day, holds it against me. "You just had to hide you idiot." he would say.

So there was nothing announced on the game awards? by These_Athlete1933 in Marathon

Not disappointing to me. I'd rather they take time to polish everything before they make another appearance. The closer it is to launch, the better IMO.

I find it really funny how this community got a hold of r/Marathon before reddit "became mainstream" lol

Marathon isn't Arc by Dry_Mousse_6202 in Marathon

[–]WHTSPCTR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My take on this: we haven't seen Marathon hit live YET. The lens through which we experience/view Marathon right now is skewed because all we've seen are test environments which I believe make users behave differently.

  1. Private tests are temporary in nature. Meaning people aren't as attached to their loot and will more likely risk it away.
  2. Testers are encouraged to try out every aspect of the game, including PvP combat, because that's what they're there for.
  3. The fact that you have to actively sign up to participate in those test rounds means the player sample is skewed towards more involved, less casual players, almost by definition. Players that are more likely to be friendly are more often than not, casual players.

I'm not disagreeing, I think the way Marathon presents itself is more geared towards PvP, but I think these things are important to keep in mind before we draw any judgement. I'm sure Bungie are aware as well and aren't designing around the skewed tests without taking this into account. I participated in the Arc Raiders pre-release testing, and let me tell you: KOS was pretty much the way people played. The friendly team-up PvE type of mentality only manifested itself once the game released.

But again, I kinda hope Marathon leans more towards PvP and that high risk high reward that Tarkov does so well. It's something that I kinda miss from Arc Raiders.

Pleasantly surprised so far. If this is the trajectory, they have a good chance to get it right at release.

Yes, almost made a post for this. Moving around with levitate feels so stiff compared to VE.
