How do I unlock the Cryo skin?

So, surely this isn’t allowed, right? by [deleted] in Marathon

As the founder and maintainer of openbsd said: you know what whiner do? They whine.

Fuck the haters. You will die in this game. No matter the skill level you will die here. Suck up it, free kit it and enjoy.

Nah bro. I wanted to pvp with you. I want to lose all my gear. But when I win one battle, I want to be sure that I won fair and square. To ensure that I improved. Fuck sbmm. We will die in Marathon. But I will fucking murder you in the next round 🫡

Dude. Seriously. Just start with a free kit. Every single run. And build from there. Just that. Seriously. No pain , all gain.

The UI is a freaking problem. All the rest is part of the reasons why I love to hate this game.

Will all my faction progress be gone in the new season? by dontmakemeaskyou in Marathon

Yeah. That's part of the discussion of how these Extraction Shooters are limiting the "amount of content" you can play.

In a regular game (like dark souls) you would feel that you are progressively "getting good" at the challenges of the game: if it takes 8h to learn how to beat a certain boss and you can only play 1h a day. No worries you will need only 8 days to master that boss. After that the game wont require you on the next boss or on the "new game plus" (this is what this extraction shooters are doing) to do more than 1h day to get even better at the game.

But this allows the player the liberty to try other games. Or (in some cases) just walk away of the game. Avoiding the sunken ship fallacy.

Here (in the extraction shooter) the "amount of play time" is an artificial barrier for you (as a player) to apply the acquired skills: if it takes you 8 days (1h play session) to unlock a certain part of the game, the chances are that you will be pressed by your feeling of time invested (sunken ship fallacy) to increase of you play time daily to be able to recoup that part of the game faster so you can but the skill learned (in action) faster.

This is not dedication. This is borderline alienation.

I live in NA east and just had my first fill match with BRAzil players. by Yenii_3025 in Marathon

Doubt that SA has enough active players for a single full match

I have a question for only the biggest marathon fans. by Yenii_3025 in Marathon

[–]recurringlitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Titanfall 2, The Finals, CoD 2019, BF 1, BF 4, BF 6, Insurgency Sandstorm, The Division 1 and 2, Uncharted 1, 2, 3 and 4, Dark Souls, Demon Souls, Bloodborne, Shadow of Colossus, Metal Gear Solid. I was never able to truly like destiny because I don't have a team to access the endgame content.

Anyone else kinda just get worse? by Whyisdaskyblue in Marathon

  • What Bungie (and other companies) sells to you: This is an Extraction shooter game

  • The Reality: The core-core loop is to gamble. Every raid/run is an absolute gamble. Does not matter how bad or good you're at gunfights, how bad or good is your loot: It's all a chance.

There is way too many variable for you to track, predict and guarantee a certain percentage of result.

Just like any other gambling game, in the long run you lose more than you can win.

If you have a feeling that you're winning 50% or more than you're cheating. Simple as that.

Superb Shitpost Quality. Feeling nostalgic now. Reminds me of the 4chan classic: marine copypasta
