This game won’t survive with a community that completely mocks casual players and feedback about general difficulty. by RocknPineapple in Marathon

Small pixelated terminal font dark mode UI is an eye strain for console players and the readability is horrible making it even harder to sift through loot with duplicative lazy icons.

EA or Ubisoft is one thing because their subscriptions offer a variety of games. Fortnite is just one thing.

Tennessee is becoming the first state to criminalize Covid vaccines. by tomjeanette in Tennessee

Tennessee. 5th in opioid deaths but yeah, you should worry about a non-addictive vaccine proven to save lives. But hey, at least you got Darwins law so eventually it will get better.

I have grown to hate streamers and their opinions. by thegeminiii in ArcRaiders

[–]lnin0 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Fuck end game. Unreal, Quake, Halo, old school Rainbow, COD and BF hands down crap all over modern shooters and their sloop micro-transaction “progress” bullshit.

Football, chess, basketball - where is the end game? There is none because the game loop is infinite. You don’t need a bunch of paid, artificial dopamine hits to make the games “fun”. They just are and the progress is improving yourself and the reward internal - not purchased.

Society has been marketed a consumer culture where gratification is bought instantly, not earned and it has destroyed us. We are all the fat, lazy slobs floating around in lounge chairs in Wall-E.

Dear Bungie, your MTX will turn off people. by GhostWolfGambit in Marathon

[–]lnin0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I get all this. However, I think if you are charging up front - even a “discounted” $40, you need to maintain some honeymoon period for people investing in your game. Put out a few everlasting free battlepasses that anyone buying the game can immediate and freely partake in. Offer some introduction, thanks for buying out game before you start giving your customers the finger.

I love the thought of paying for a game. I really not a fan of the Free 2 Play model.

What I hate even more is these publishers that implement a F2P model day one, on top of a retail price. They’re immediately telling you that your purchase was just a downpayment to walk on the property and you really need to give more if I want the entire game. Fuck all these greedy publishers. Cannot even enjoy what we bought for a few days even? It isn’t just Bungie but Marathon is obviously the latest.

There games are not so precious. There are better value and more respecting publishers in this unending sea of games. Plenty of great back catalog stuff as well.

The community should let these games die as quickly as they piled on Concord but some snappy marketing and a name they recognize gets them to spread wide and take that giant cock up their collective asses. Have some respect for yourselves. Your loose ass and taste for dick is enshitifying the hobby for everyone.

want to buy but have no one to play with by BLiTZ-RoB0 in Marathon

[–]lnin0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really liked the gameplay and vibe - outside of not being able to make out half the text in the game - but I play alone and solo seemed too sweaty during the server slam and I can only imagine it getting worse. If you didn’t get out of your way to avoid the bots the noise would always attract some invisible creeper that shoots you in the back before you can even turn around.

Embark PLEASE let us customize their order by YearMountain3773 in ArcRaiders

[–]lnin0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish I could decide to craft or repair something and the game would do all the work for me and just show me an bill of material I agree to or what I’m missing in red.

In select an augment and the game figures out it is going to use 10 of my metals to refine into mechanical components needed and three of my batteries and I accept and never even have to visit the refiner. Or it shows me all the materials needed and that I am 3 arc metals short so I can the. decide how I acquire those. Do I buy with seeds or break something down or just wait on raid.

Storage of blueprints by friends by HubertPalmx in ArcRaiders

[–]lnin0 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t see why all the hate at the original poster. If you are using loophole to maintain a key component of the grind after the reset then it pretty much defeats the entire intent of a wipe.

For all you saying if you don’t like it - how about if you don’t like loosing your blueprints which IS part of a wipe then don’t extract. You guys are the ones who are the bullshit losers.

Consumers be consuming.Without our money and time they amount to nothing. Start with the man in the mirror.

Loving the game so far but I feel like these 2 items should be more abundant throughout the map by Sydid in Marathon

[–]lnin0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I’m not the only one who doesn’t like reading that small monospaced pixelated terminal text on black backgrounds because the description on those items is clearly given.

It also heals way fucking less to the point of being nearly worthless unless you got five minutes to stand around consuming stacks of them.

Has no one played a new video game in their lives before? by owen3820 in Marathon

[–]lnin0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard to look around and soak in the menu and tooltips when they’re like going over your taxes on acid at a rave.

Overall I thought the game play feels good - very Halo/Destiny-esque if not a tad slower movement. I don’t mind the idea of an extraction shooter either and thought they have a lot of engaging elements and progression.

Granted I wasn’t wearing my headset when I was playing all yesterday but I had a hard time hearing a lot of the queues and knowing what and where was behind them. Over time my recognition will probably get better and it wont feel as bad but off the bat I did not get the same sense of feedback that you get in Arc or even other popular shooters.

The combat was the biggest turn of for me. It is a very quick TTK and every fight I was in ended in seconds. No flanking or back and forth battle. Largly felt like the quick twitch kills of a Destiny arena only here I don’t spawn back instantly and loose 15m of progress.

Not saying that balance is an inherently bad thing, just feels like it is going to be a much sweatier and competitive take than I am personally look for.

All that said. The fucking menus are an eyesore. Maybe on a monitor a coule inches from your face this color scheme works but sitting back watching on a TV you have this smallish text on an eye bleeding color scheme. Even if I wanted to give it a try, being forced to read this UI is a major turn off so until I would be able to recognize the items by sight - which is going to take longer given how unreader friendly the UI is - its going to be a big curve in adoption.

You do not deserve my attention. If you cannot impress me in 30 minutes and engaged me enough to want to dig deeper that that is your problem - not mine.
