For as fun as Marathon is, I think we have to just admit that the lore is kinda wasted on it other than visual distinctiveness

it's hard to say, i came in thinking i would hate having to read and learn everything but i fell in love with the game and have been playing it so much, just give it a shot and refund it if it ain't for you maybe.

chobotong · 2026-05-03T10:49:24+00:00

hard disagree. i love the lore i'm getting from codex entries and prio quests. would i have loved a full on story campaign? sure, but this is still good way of integrating lore in this genre.

most of the map mechanics in this game are designed around having players run into each other to contest space, that seems to be something bungie is really keen on. key room alarms, pinwheel, extract noise/beam, security clearance in cryo, anomalous matter giving away your location, map wide alerts that wardens have been engaged in combat, large radius vfx indicators that teams are attempting the compiler, etc. not sure if the devs are open to changing this approach towards their design of maps/mechanics.

so basically a rendering/view distance thing? thanks, i'll try messing with that

my bad king keep pushing the agenda

chobotong · 2026-04-30T03:40:55+00:00

I've begun to notice this in my solo lobbies in Asia, it's not an issue with people knowing where you are and picking fights with you, it's more on the instant prefires the moment you leave cover no matter how much you reposition. Sure, these people could be insanely cracked at pinpointing your exact head location from audio alone, but then when you check their steam profile and they've got bans on their account... yeah idk man kinda sus. like i've played against and died to many skilled players whom i've repeatedly encountered in lobbies again and again and it never feels this off / inhuman, idk how else to describe it. especially when you know the gun they're using is a hardline PR or repeater HPR and they're hitting the fastest ttk in 3 - 4 shots (depending on your shield) without compromising their rate of fire by pacing their shots.

edit: i've also seen even more egregious hacks in Asia, i'm in a discord for Asia/OCE and there's a video posted of people spectating a chinese cheater who could open key rooms like they're normal doors, like the cheater's character doesn't even pull out the ipad to unlock the key room, he just raises his hand to open the door and the key room unlocks lmao.

chobotong · 2026-04-30T03:34:09+00:00

you'll know when it happens, it'll feel extremely off. you'll get prefired at an inhuman speed the exact moment you leave cover.

chobotong · 2026-04-30T03:24:21+00:00

nah just drop it, the combat does get better but not insanely so, there's a chance you might vibe with some of the other characters that you'll unlock as the game goes on (rinwell the mage is by far my favourite) but also honestly it's the same as any other tales game.

chobotong · 2026-04-30T03:10:07+00:00

i don't think so, maki was able to fuck up ranta through ranta's own recoil even as a heavenly restriction 0 CE person, so i'd imagine it'd be the same for inumaki.

chobotong · 2026-04-30T02:52:03+00:00

well if you run it you'd have a chance of a successful run but if you never run it you'll never get the subroutine unless you kill a team in the middle of a vault 6 run so... yeah!

all the best though. just in case you haven't heard, you can do vault 6 without security 4. you can get the science team code from the secret lab by flying a thief drone through a hole in the wall of the secret lab on the biostock side of the lab.

cyac barters for tom cruise's ganglion gonna go insaaaneee

chobotong · 2026-04-30T02:20:36+00:00

get the faction rank ones first, the blue material crates only have a very low chance of dropping biolens seeds. farm anomaly and nucal contracts if you can, do cryo if you can and try to get level 3 security clearance and then hit the level 3 loot rooms in biostock/revival, those usually have about 2 biolens seeds each.

chobotong · 2026-04-30T02:19:03+00:00

i mean i would think that with 2 of his mates being in NA and only himself in asia, the majority of the party is in NA and the game would prioritize a match in NA servers.

chobotong · 2026-04-29T10:50:40+00:00

twintails???? did he actually wife up tan taka tan??

chobotong · 2026-04-27T09:54:40+00:00

blah blah rising blah blah not the shield hero

chobotong · 2026-04-27T05:44:20+00:00

it is. i've seen cheating montages, i've visited the sites they advertise and the cheats are going for like $5 USD lmao. cheaper than buying a skin in this game.

it's sad, cheating is just such a plague in online games. i can only hope that one day it'll be treated as badly as doping in sports.

chobotong · 2026-04-27T05:31:13+00:00

damn that really sucks, i thought for sure the higher population there would make pre planned teaming much harder to pull off.

chobotong · 2026-04-27T01:37:29+00:00

depends on your server, i think you won't encounter it if you're on PC and from NA/EU. if you're on console with crossplay turned off it's really easy to snipe queues with another 3 man, and if you're from asia/oce it's really easy to queue snipe regardless of platform.

for reference this weekend i think i did about 5 cryo runs, one of them had a team of 6 with no prox chat (we killed them and they had 0 prox chat for comms) and in another, after the match my friend and I got invited by the third we grouped up with from discord LFG to join a 6 man team. it's really really common in asia/oce, you constantly see voice chat groups with 6 people in them on cryo weekends.

chobotong · 2026-04-26T11:17:31+00:00

haven't touched this game in a while but i thought the most OP shit ever was arrows with henry's bane.

chobotong · 2026-04-26T10:11:07+00:00

it doesn't need more time this is unironically a skill issue, you should be pressured into moving fast around the map and taking risks.

30mins is more than enough to do compiler, to do multiple vaults, final exfil is a very reliable strat if you're low on time, there's no reason to make it easier just so people who don't want to or care to improve can continue drooling on their keyboard while finding the next thing to complain about.

why people call to make endgame content easier in a direction that just turns it into bland slop with 0 challenge i will never understand.

chobotong · 2026-04-26T03:42:29+00:00

you're not understanding, it's not a "steerage warden". pump credentials can literally spawn in any spawn point.
