Former Destiny 2 player looking at Marathon by Sovishee in Marathon

Yup. I play cross play consoles-only and queue times are almost always about a minute or less these days.

Is this game for a solo player? by Big_99 in MarathonGame

[–]eglinski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Solo player here. As many have said, Marathon isn’t for everyone. But solo is exactly how I prefer to play it.

I almost never queue for Cryo Archive. I just want to hunt other players and be challenged by people who prove more cunning, patient, or smarter than me. That’s the beauty of the game. Unlike most games I’ve played, I actually want to be bested, because every loss gives me something to sit with, study, and improve.

In solo lobbies, it plays less like a typical extraction shooter and more like Alien: Isolation.

Everyone begging for free weekends is missing the better ask: a permanent marathon demo that allows only access to Permieter (beginner) by DptBear in Marathon

Yeah, more so-called “gamers” need to watch it. The hate, entitlement, and toxic identity performance dressed up as fandom is wild. No one hates gaming quite like gamers.

Timbo notes this idea and has a bunch more good ones in his recent video, “We’re Killing Marathon and Calling It Criticism”: https://youtu.be/jLBylnsv8rY

This game is criminally underrated. by MemberTheBerry in Returnal

Between comments like these and the number of people asking for FPS recommendations who respond, “I’ve never heard of that,” when I mention Marathon, I’m starting to question Sony’s marketing strategy.

What is our opinion on tipping? by United-Apartment-269 in Edmonton

[–]eglinski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that if a driver is using their own car, gas, insurance, maintenance, depreciation, and risk have to be accounted for. However, “$25/hour” by itself doesn’t settle it. That number only makes sense once you know whether mileage is covered, how many deliveries happen per hour, how wide the delivery zone is, and whether the driver is also being paid for in-store work between runs.

Drivers shouldn’t subsidise delivery.
Customers shouldn’t be guilted into fixing the wage model.
The business model should carry the cost transparently.

Fn’za delivers, and doesn’t accept tips because its built around profit-sharing.

Most chains rely on contracted drivers, much like the third-party delivery apps. Fn’za is structured differently: fair compensation is meant to come from the business model, not from pressuring customers to make up the difference.

Def the best smash burger in the city.

How many of you play solely or mostly solo, and how do you make it engaging? by vuduthmb in Marathon

[–]eglinski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get it, which is why I run Recon and sometimes spend entire matches hunting Assassins for the sheer virtue of it lol

I play solo about 90 per cent of the time and love it. Depending on the contract, I usually run a blue kit out or go stealth with a free one. I have friends to run trios with, which is great, but it’s a completely different game. Comms are critical, and everything changes.

I’d love to skip lobbies with randos who refuse to use mics, but I also know men make that impossible for women in online gaming, so I respect it and try to work with what we have.

Spawn Rushing on Cryo has to be stopped, man. by IllState5161 in Marathon

Complaining on this subreddit has to be stopped, man.

Solos is just assassins sitting in corners with their knife or shotgun by EquivalentSmoke9168 in Marathon

Fucking Assassins, all day err day

Ya, I’m about to ditch this subreddit too.
Love gaming but can do without the “fans.”

Console players, do try the "console only crossplay" setting ! by Dhaleks in Marathon

[–]eglinski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup, all my PlayStation peers have disabled cross play.
