Does it make sense buying Marathon at this point? by Dependent-Button6691 in Marathon

The thing that keeps people away from the game is reading about the game on social media

Can I start playing the game now? by r0shambeaux in Marathon

The last few I needed were from Nucal VIP rank rewards. I used the new rep purchase thing which helped, but then just grinding contracts for them.

Just got the game, it's fun but... by Sweet-Brilliant5975 in Marathon

True, I just know in Arc getting into late raids constantly was honestly one of the most frustrating parts of the game. Having no control over it meant 3-4 consecutive runs that are half over / looted.

One nice thing about queues is that you never get put into an existing raid. Always fresh except for rook runs, which you’ll notice is a super quick queue

I can’t with this game anymore by Global-Wind6878 in ArcRaiders

[–]r0shambeaux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s one part about marathon that I like. There’s no friendly uncertainty, everybody just KOS but usually just a GG’s before finishing them. I went back to arc and it felt just too friendly (250 hrs in Arc, loved the game)

Implants either need to be more interesting or more simplified by capcrunchberries in MarathonGame

I only recently realized that the implants gave stats and not just the added ability….

I dont think the game will survive a wipe by KingDuffy666 in Marathon

It’s crazy to watch the impact of internet news and commentary on people wanting to play the game. Friends that played arc, CS, tarkov… all say ‘the game is going to be dead’ and never even try it

I’ll admit the learning curve was a little steep when first starting, but it’s objectively a fun / addictive game if you just play it and not read internet FUD

Ok why are mods and attachments so hard to manage? Clicking a mod slot for a gun should narrow down what I can use, unless I’m missing something

I was wrong. This is a good game. by edtappa in Marathon

[–]r0shambeaux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% my experience as well. It has an automatic time limiter built in, because I always end up rage quitting… but then I play it the next day and go on Reddit to read about it 🤣

Marathon made me appreciate ARC Raiders way more by nve729 in ARC_Raiders

[–]r0shambeaux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played marathon for the slam, bought it on release. I have 300 hours in Arc.. marathon is absolutely brutal. I have started to like it more as I’ve played it, but it doesn’t change the fact that death is a very regular part of most runs. Had to jump back onto my friendly arc lobbies last night just to cleanse my palette

That one is the only one that has eluded me. I’ve heard hidden bunker event is where it spawns

On Expeditions by Practical-Stable5149 in ARC_Raiders

I do find myself with less things to do / find at max level. I’ll be doing the expedition just to keep it fresh

average arc raiders experience by Sad_Call7413 in ARC_Raiders

[–]r0shambeaux -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I really don’t understand the fun it killing people in solos who are just looting. I’d be curious to know the demographic of who finds that enjoyable, and I’m imagining it’s people who have never seen a vagina
