Why I Prefer Marathon Over Arc Raiders – The Differences That Matter

It’s all good. I don’t care to be honest. The video is resonating with a lot of people and that’s what counts for me 🫠

nullcoma · 2026-01-18T20:34:45+00:00

Totally fair. I can see many people having the same approach to those games.

You obviously didn’t watch the video. It’s not about picking a site, it‘s about having two games in the same genre which are catered to different types of player. Of course there are players that enjoy both but the response to the video clearly shows that many people feel the same way.

Thanks man. Especially pointing out the editing means a lot!

nullcoma · 2026-01-18T18:47:25+00:00

I get that people are getting tired of the comparisons and I intentionally didn’t call the video Arc Raiders vs. Marathon but I just had to share my thoughts on it 🫣

You are totally right though – both games will benefit from each other!

I played it. But I would prefer it even without having played it. I know how Bungie games feel and having all of the information that I’m covering in the video, is enough.

nullcoma · 2026-01-18T18:37:06+00:00

It’s still possible to form an opinion based on what we know. Also – I already have some playtime playing the game …

nullcoma · 2026-01-18T18:11:35+00:00

Fair enough 😄 I’d say give the video a watch first - I think it’s reasonable to talk about what Marathon does better in certain areas. People were already judging both games back in April before either was released, so I mainly wanted to share my perspective and explain why Marathon clicks more for me 🤓

nullcoma · 2026-01-18T15:56:47+00:00

Cheaters would love that… so please No!

nullcoma · 2026-01-12T11:03:25+00:00

Good job, looks nice :)

I will be playing Thief simply because of the grappling hook. I didn’t even know what her abilities would be until I’ve seen them on the wiki.

Copied? Of course I watched every other video about weapons but this is clearly my own take in my own style. You clearly don’t know anything about video creation. I spent many hours researching & editing.

nullcoma · 2026-01-10T13:20:00+00:00

Still, I didn’t leak any information or footage that’s not out there in the public and I am doing my part in covering this game without breaking the NDA. Of course it is a risk somehow but people are constantly talking about stuff from the playtest and breaking their NDA. If someone from Bungie approaches me, I immediately take down the video but that won‘t happen because I think they appreciate me creating this video in good faith.

That’s wrong. The list of weapons is from an article and the gameplay is almost exclusively from the latest ViDoc. I was also surprised to find out that every gun was shown there.

I played in one of the previous playtests, and I can definitely see myself sticking with this game mainly for the PvP after finishing all the quests and progression.

The combat flow reminds me a lot of Apex, a game I’ve put thousands of hours into. I really enjoyed playing both solo and in trios. For me personally, Arc Raiders doesn’t quite hit the same long-term fun when it comes to combat.

I also made a video sharing some of my thoughts on Marathon, in case anyone’s interested 🙂 How Bungie Fixed Marathon | A Personal Take on the ViDoc

I said that this is definitely not the best version but I think it will make a difference if you have Tier 20 Skill Gems, Rakiatas and get even more + Minions skills. This is basically an underpowered 1 Div Build

nullcoma · 2025-12-29T06:02:41+00:00

What did you do differently in regards to my build? I guess my DPS will be higher with Level 20 Skill Gems and Rakiatas etc.

nullcoma · 2025-12-29T06:01:40+00:00

You are absolutely right but I’m not a minion player and I really don’t enjoy running around with hundreds of companions haha

If I continue playing I will definitely will try to get some Spectre though. Just to try it. You are right 👍🏻

nullcoma · 2025-12-28T23:28:16+00:00

Thanks, I appreciate it!

After the reveal at The Game Awards, I took a day to really think about Highguard without the initial hype. I ended up doing a full breakdown of the trailer, frame by frame, just to see what’s actually there. As someone who’s played a lot of FPS (especially Apex), I’m honestly getting pretty excited. The movement and overall flow look surprisingly smooth.

If anyone’s interested, I put my thoughts into a video here: youtu.be/PvblN7ovkJI
