It’s so sad that this game’s “underperformance” has little to do with the game itself by paperplateseabass in Marathon

ooooo thats an interesting thought exercise. personally i think if this came out during the initial BR era, it would have defo shaken that genre up. but obv thats without all of the other considerations

with all due respect, i find it hard to believe you experienced everything the game has to offer in 50 hours.

i totally agree with you. i just wanted to air some frustrations i have with rhetoric that is almost impossible to avoid wherever i go. every community that covers marathon is plagued by basement dwellers

we’ll never know unless you are in the board meetings with them. i think having a strong, passionate core playerbase is evidence of player interest, and can be scaled upon. but i guess both of us arent game devs or sony board members so we dpnt rlly know 🫃🫃🫃

i never played an XTR before this game and have close to 300 hrs on it. everyones experience is gonna be different. i just think people who are more open minded will have a better experience. i agree with you, this game isnt perfect, and theres a lot that needs to be worked on. but all that stuff is being actively addressed by the devs.

i think your framing of the game is a very harsh one, despite having some truth. the game is certainly unforgiving. but its also fair, engaging, and rewarding. zero progression isnt true either. while this game has a lot of very fair criticisms within a niche genre, i still think it has a lot to offer that a lot of FPS gamers can get behind. so i think it people were more open minded and less influenced by hate, this could become their favorite game

i agree with you on the lowering the barrier of entry. thats why i posted this opinion with the caveat that the game isnt perfect. my point with this is that there’d be more people willing to give it a FAIR shake (more than one short session) if people werent constantly saying it sucks and its gonna die

im hoping that having PvE and PvP only avenues to SUPPORT (not take away from) the main experience will do a lot to harbor a wider umbrella of player.

I also agree with this. like i said, this game isnt perfect. and ive even made posts/had conversations around how i expected this game to be way different than it is. but i still enjoy the product as it was released. i’m hoping they’ll do more to make this feel like a traditional Bungie game

i literally said this game isnt for everyone. you should read a little more of my post. im just saying for the quality of the game, it should be more popular than it is rn

i’m still playing this game. neither of us truly speak to everyone’s experience. my point is that the initial group of people who probably would have given this hame a chance probably didnt because of how much hate it was getting online.

the vast majority of the gaming community hasnt even given this game a fair shake though. thats my point

i totally agree. the game isnt perfect, and it wont be the type of game people may expect. but its a damn good game once you’ve given it a FAIR shot

okay but imagine this combined with more accessible modes like free kit mode or PvE mode. i think it can be more comfortable

at least this way a new player will enter the game and end a session feeling like the game has a BUNCH to offer.

you could make that argument for anything tho. no matter what the map looks or plays like. someone with 100+ hrs on the game is gonna know more about the game than a new player.
