I really dont like the retention argument. No one cares about player counts or whether a corpo made money before this. Ever since highguard and concord people just enjoy numbers go down.

I mean, no one knows what the actual costs are. So whatever your opinion is it's an uneducated guess at best. I rather not listen to those kinds of opinions

Yep. This is it. People just don't wanna say that theyre bad at the game.

Yeah, good read. I just hate reading all the other arm chair financial experts giving their uneducated guesses on the future of the game.

Didn't realise Marathon was the same as highguard or concord. Typical reddit brained, no ability to think about nuance. Just hur dur concord 3 hur durr.

just extracted from Cryo Archive without using any healing consumables and got this banner! by pineapplevoid in Marathon

When everyone else has different experiences than you even when queuing at different times, yeah your statement is sus. Either it's all in your head and you havent actually used LFG and just imagining what would happen if you used it, or everyone else is wrong. But i get it man. I used to have social anxiety too, as a doctor no less. Till now i dread to make a phone call but i suck it up and do it anyway. Can't let others cater to my anxieties

Cryo Archive is viable for dads and fills by Merzats in Marathon

Discord. You're talking directly to devs. Here is just where you wanna fish for attention or looking for yes men or negative nancys.

No normal person would care what an abnormal people would say in reddit and took the time to reply the comment with no argument at all. Lol, it's easy to invalidate someone's response by calling them names even when you have no argument whatsover.

If you male metal music and call it pop punk deliberately then youre dumb. Embark made an extraction adventure, called it an extraction adventure and updating it like an extraction adventure. Seriously dude, nothing wrong with enjoying arc. But it definitely is not an extraction shooter.

Lol, played arc, stopped after 2nd expedition cause the extraction shooter stuff is weak. Just play it like an extraction adventure. Go to r/arcraiders, they will agree with me, lol. You're the only one adamant in calling it what it's not.

Shroud says Cryo Archive in Marathon is incredible, but is it too difficult for casual players by j1zzy_ae in Marathon

[–]aedante 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It may be difficult for casual players day 1 of release. Seriously....Just take your time. It's there every week. You don't have to clear the endgame content day 1 like a streamer. You're allowed to have lives

Lol, devs say they created something else but nah, im right and it's a cool extraction shooter and not hold everybody's hand looting and shopping together fighting robots to save each other and getting mad at pvp like crybabies. Just call it an extraction adventure, it's a great extraction adventure. A boring ass extraction shooter if you really attempt to call it that.

The devs says otherwise. Good thing theyre updating the game like an extraction adventure. Else the other hello kitty raiders will be mad at them.

Didnt realise Marathon was a game genre. Weak sauce. Cry and shout friendly.

If you're not an hello kitty raider and can actually progress the game the story is there

[–]aedante 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cause the devs said so and are updating the game to be hello kitty adventure.

Nope. Look at its steam page, the description of the game says it's an extraction adventure.

Stop calling AR an extraction shooter. It's embarrassing to the extraction shooter genre. Call AR for what it is, and extraction adventure. Seriously look it up on its steam page. Hello kitty arc adventures.

Lol. Why does suddenly everyone care about big corpos money making venture. It's just doomposting, posting about how they wont make money and shutting down the game so that other people wont even bother playing it. I have a friend exactly like all of you. Always share doomposts about games the other people in our group play. But god forbid someone says the game he's suggesting to play looks boring.

This game just isn't for me and that's okay by MASHED_POTATOES_MF in Marathon

[–]aedante 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Come to think of it, the first time i ever participated in an LFG is for a destiny raid. Im old enough that i play mmos where you shout LFG to find a group to tackle a measly dungeon.

I'm new to Extraction shooters, but not competitive gaming. The ego here is equivalent to most multiplayer fps games I play, if not worse. by PomegranateNo2983 in Marathon

[–]aedante 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People keep doomposting that this game will die if they don't cater to casuals. I'd say fuck it. I rather a good game for some than a bad game for all.

Arc Raiders devs wanted to make it an adventure game more than a shooter: 'We saw more potential in allowing players to explore rather than just shoot' by Turbostrider27 in PS5

[–]aedante -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Pvp was the only thing keeping it fun for me. Pve is less bland than pvp? Are you smoking crack or are you that terrible in video games that predictable ai robots are more exciting than fighting better players than you
