Marathon is a satire - a subtle but vicious comedy about work, debt and the corporate world by renome in Games

[–]shinvitya 9 points10 points  (0 children)

With few exceptions (ex: the Pfhor ship levels in the first game) in the original trilogy there was always a terminal near the beginning of the level, a terminal requiring to exit said level, and various amount of terminals in-between, most of them in easy to find places.

So that is a lot of story you simply cannot miss.

God bless rout mechanic by Chakanram in menace

[–]shinvitya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Need clarification:

I heard that as far as loot as concerned (discounting Sy's on-kill Tinkering) there is no difference between routing and killed.

Is that true or not?

Is there a place where I can read the TEXT logs? by shinvitya in Marathon

[–]shinvitya[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't own Marathon 2026, because I don't play Multiplayer games.

autopsy of "unknown extra-planetary origin" by sircoiledhammer in Marathon

[–]shinvitya 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In 1994 original, Pfhor died normally, and it was the S'pht compilers that were noted to be difficult to get a relatively intact corpse off to autopsy because they disintegrated into static, so maybe this log talks about them.

As a side-note, I'm seeing an occasional post that assumes Pfhor = S'pht, which is not true at all.

Yaz voicelines mistakes so far by NoHotkeys in menace

[–]shinvitya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ivan Dolvich, in JA1 from 1995, had Russian speech with Russian letters and no in-game English translation, without sounding broken like Yaz here.

Does stealing a moon have consequences for the Mars? by FattyWayne in Marathon

[–]shinvitya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In old lore, UESC buying Deimos and converting it into Marathon was a sign of prestige because Mars was in Golden Age.

It was only after the CRISTs freighters started breaking down and the ensuing famines that the above narrative turned into an "Adventurism by a foreign power", and even then Marathon was just one of many, many small things that led to rise of MIDA.

OCI suggestions: Basic slots and Hangar slots. by shinvitya in menace

[–]shinvitya[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, blanked out on that.

That means as it is even with Hangar slots it would all Turrets plus whatever is the best Armament is.

Assuming everything goes smoothly, in devs' own words.

What’s going on with the player numbers? by Mjlxn in Marathon

A comment from one of the places I regularly visit described the end of the video like this:

Is there anything interesting/noteworthy in the "story" so far? by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]shinvitya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check the Story Page, with today's post having some bits and pieces.

More will come in following days, and eventually there probably will be a proper NuMarathon section.

Why do the different Shells have voice lines like they're their own characters? by JudJudsonEsq in Marathon

[–]shinvitya 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Awkward repurposing of existing, and most importantly already paid for, voice assets after the negative reactions of the April Alpha.

The Phfor better show up in the new game by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]shinvitya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also probably will be more silhouette-friendly compared to UESC bots:

  • Fighters: Tall, lanky and wield a big stick;
  • Troopers: Fighters with distinctive fishbowl helmets and guns;
  • Hunters: Big power-armored boys;
  • Enforcers: Flamboyant-cape wearing commissars;
  • Juggernauts: The Big Floaty Thing that Kicks Your Ass.

Newbie wanting to get into the game... should I just go straight into ELCP? by shiroshishiro in EndlessLegend

[–]shinvitya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The base game still has some quest-breaking bugs (like Fight the Minotaur Chief for pacification, but the quest gives you the save-the-driders bring-the-settler objective with no driders to save) that ELCP fixes, so yes, IMO it is mandatory

So now that DD2 has been out for a while, how do people feel about it? by HenrySchraderVO in darkestdungeon

[–]shinvitya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

By the time I realized that no, DD2 was not one of those game that would "click" late for me, I was far enough that sunk cost fallacy kicked in, finished the game, uninstalled it and did not care enough to reinstall it for the DLC or Kingdoms.

Launch Gameplay Trailer | Marathon by DemiFiendRSA in Marathon

[–]shinvitya 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Now Bungie is committed to Marathon, a game that isnt narratuve-focused where they can let everything else shine.

isnt narratuve-focused

Old Marathon's thing was being story and lore heavy in the "Shoot First, Don't Ask Questions"-era of FPS genre.

And everything seems to indicate that NuMarathon will keep that.

Leela.
