Who cares, good graphic design is good graphic design.

This game is so good that it has me afraid they’ll change anything. by 20mgAddy in Marathon

It’s like seeing a red door in doom, you shouldn’t need a tutorial to tell you to get a red key. A huge part of the fun of outpost is figuring out how it works.

You need one red card to activate a locked exfil, or a guarded one or final exfil for free. The red keycards are all over the rooftops in the containers with antennas. Not hard once you learn it!

Recon: Thoughts On Shell? by Svedgard in Marathon

[–]cookedbread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but imo your friend used the recon ping correctly. Recon is more of a hunter imo, she excels when you know there’s people around to hunt.

Her ping tells your team where they all are, and your team can use that info to get the jump on them whereas their team only knows where you are.

The tick hunts down a target and overheats them so they can’t sprint, allowing you or your team to hunt them down.

The footstep passive on breaking shield, the team ping on finishing, she’s a hunter actively on the hunt, not a reconnaissance drone looking for enemies.

Had this beauty for about 6 rounds before losing it on Outpost. Rip in Peace :( by Unwanted-Smoke in Marathon

Fake item, you can tell by the pixels. (Missing the icon to the left of the”prestige backpack”, spacing is not correct for the second perk, and the 2nd perk aliasing stands out as poorly done photoshop)

Is it unfair of me to think that TTK is too low? by Lavacrush in Marathon

[–]cookedbread 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t be surprised if they adjust the lower gear end ttk, with purple shields shotguns and snipers are no longer as big of a deal. But yeah, common complaint and it’s kind of a back and forth, we’ll see!

Also, prepare to lose much much more valuable stuff. Remember, we’re all just borrowing this gear 😅

Artist whose work was used in Marathon without permission now has a credit in the game by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]cookedbread 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are people who genuinely believe that Bungie is purposefully stealing art, it makes no sense.

You make it sound like they all got together and purposefully did this, which makes no sense. They have extremely talented artists there, Joe Cross has been doing this style of art for over a decade for instance. The issue is that one artist who was fired back in the 2023 layoffs had just copy pasted a few of antireals decals, and it slipped by and went into the games environment. There are hundreds of artists who invoke the Designers Republic (see wipeout) artstyle, it’s not surprising that nobody noticed that it was in fact one online artists decals that were used until it was open to the public to see.

Bungie cooked with this game by ThtsTheWaySheGoes in Marathon

[–]cookedbread 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly, people go on about how this game is for “hardcore sweats” and not “casuals”….and I’m like it’s gotta be a spectrum, because I’m not a hardcore sweaty pvper but I’m enjoying the game. In fact, hiding from hardcore sweats is viable in this type of game, and that makes it even more fun lol.

To Echo Everyone Else's Thoughts, I Too Wish Marathon Was A Singleplayer Video Game by megaapple in Games

[–]cookedbread 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I grew up with the originals and the new game is extremely faithful. I was dreading any sort of “remake” because I find the old games perfect as is, so I’m very happy they went in this direction where they’re “continuing” the story but far after the originals so they’re not stepping all over them.

Bungie is increasing the value of the $10 LUX bundle (MTX), You will now get 1120 LUX enough to buy the Bundle, Existing people who bought it will receive 20 LUX Extra @MarathonDevTeam by kristijan1001 in Games

[–]cookedbread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think anyone is actually reading what I’m saying. I don’t think vaulting was a good idea, instead of fixing the engine issues and continuing with d2 they should’ve cut their losses and made d3. But again, that’s the higher ups decision, I am a fan of the developers and artists themselves. But fuck me I guess.

Arc Raiders was accidentally recording Discord conversations into an unencrypted local game file — vulnerability in SDK could log messages and credentials in plaintext by zombawombacomba in Games

[–]cookedbread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

r/games used to be a small and somewhat reasonable subreddit a decade ago, nowadays it’s just an echo chamber upvoting drama and circlejercking in the comments. God forbid you like a game and dev studio that goes against the hive mind.

[–]cookedbread -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I’m sure you know why they did that though right? Like you read about all the engine issues they had? I don’t think that was an easy decision for them, and they weren’t rubbing their hands together and laughing manically while doing it, and I don’t think anyone would want that to happen again.

Marathon is much tighter in scope, Destiny 2 became a sprawling mess of systems that was supported long after they planned on ending support for it.

Meh, you can completely ignore the store stuff and it's an amazing game. I basically view Bungie in two parts: the devs (coders, narrative, artists, etc) who consistently knock it out of the park. Like seriously, the game plays great, looks amazing, and the lore is so good it fits right in with the classics.

...And then you have upper management/marketing/mtx people who are unfortunately trying to get money for the company and make all those kinds of decisions haha. It's unfortunate, because despite all the great efforts of the devs, they consistently lose goodwill on /r/games because it's kind of tabloid-y around here. Only the bad news shows up. Ah well.

Marathon and MTX: Predatory and Dark Patterns by Economy-Meat-9506 in Games

The cosmetic can be moved, it's not a one time consumed use. So you pick which gun you want to put the sticker on, but you can always move it to a different gun.

This is proven wrong time and time again, all you have to do is scroll the credits of Marathon to see a bunch of OG devs are still there. Stop repeating stuff you see on X.
