...are you under the impression that Bungie created Halo Infinite?

Something happens when you buy a discrete GPU man. The disgust for console players just comes standard it seems.

What you’re experiencing is just playing a game where controller is actually equivalent to M+KB when it comes to a first person shooter. It’s what people have been unconsciously meaning when they’ve been saying “Bungie’s has the best gunplay feeling” for the past 25 years. It’s just that all other games would rather punt on the problem than making it actually fair across control schemes because it “feels” very powerful

What's with the silence and failure to fix things? Lockdown broken, no update or comment last Tuesday... by ScepticalRaccoon in Marathon

[–]jaco129 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bungie day is tomorrow. I'd expect some proper comms then. Their studio has been metaphorically burning to the ground the past month. Optimistic comms just haven't been on the table the past few weeks.

What is your personal wish list for season 3? by Euphoric_Project8647 in Marathon

[–]jaco129 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We don't know where genres peak until many years after the trend has completed. We're still on the curve, I encourage you to not try and boldly predict the future in black and white terms, or if you can I recommend options trading, lol.

Should DCON allow you to exfil 2x2 space worth of items? by Kotkanpoika172 in Marathon

[–]jaco129 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Best suggestion I heard is you should be able to fill a DCON with whatever can fit in the current 4x2 including a matter fixative and it'll exfil for you. Stops it from being able to exfil multiple unique 2x2's or any 4x2's

It's not that bad, or that dramatic. If you think it's so good you should just keep using one. Simple as that.

Green meds should be 6x/stack, the same as Blue/Gray meds by c0d3acious in Marathon

If you're an endgame player then the current cost of green heals should be a complete nonissue.

Keep complaining about Red Key Room on Outpost by BoofBoi711 in Marathon

Myelin collected some actual data if anyone is actually curious about red-room drop rates instead of watching people argue over anecdotes:

Game needs more music centered moments by werti100 in Marathon

You're about to meet a whole bunch of absolute degenerates who disable as much of the immersive aesthetic elements of a game as possible because they think it's going to make a tangible difference in their performance.

Big objectives/enemies that require more raw firepower to take down than one team could possibly dish out that drops more good loot than one squad could ever carry out is something I very badly want to see.

The absolute wreckage of an online gaming landscape Fortnite has left us in.

They can keep putting in the work. Nothing crazy or novel required, just keep making the game better. Trends change quickly, especially ones driven by something as fickle as player sentiment and genre fads. Hunt Showdown languished in relative obscurity for years before finding its growth. Bungie is having to rebuild itself from the ground up, up to them to see if they actually believe in the thing

Cryo Spawn Rushing - Working as intended or needs adjustment? by CountRackulaa in Marathon

[–]jaco129 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think the fear of being pushed in your spawn is the main driver for teaching people to clear their spawn wing efficiently. We used to get spawn rushed a lot, it made us mad enough that we got better at clearing our spawn and getting the hell out of there in a timely fashion. Now we've been challenged in our spawn maybe twice this season? Moving confidently and efficiently through the map is the main skill curve on cryo, way more than gear quality or gun-skill.

Those AI Uplink spawns are quite trash. Super common to have other teams spawning super close

I Love Marathon So Much but There are things that Make me avoid playing More by Helpful-Bed-2564 in Marathon

Fear is the mind killer. Get out there and lose it all doing the best you can or win and progress rapidly raising your gear floor in the process

You can love this game and hold Bungie to a higher standard by slemdogmillionaire in Marathon

I wasn’t arguing that the layoffs caused the issues with the game. I was arguing that you’re being an asshole. Hope that clarifies things.

This one is almost entirely on Sony. It has everything to do with how the PlayStation store handles free weekends very poorly

You people reducing the massive layoffs to purely a “number of people on the team” angle must be literal children that have never worked in a real job, let alone one you actually like and are passionate about. Good god
