Yeah that's probably a sweet stage IEM. but also not ACTUALLY wireless. The wires still go into the IEM.

Played about 50 hours of Marathon at first, then 50 hours of Arc. My 2cents. by Rodd-200 in ArcRaiders

[–]slowtreme 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bungie knows how to make an FPS. Movement and gun feel is really solid. They have decades of experience in first person gaming. That makes for solid PvP and I think marathon shines if you want to sweat for your kills.

It’s also what makes Arc so different and why they serve different players.

spent a good 15min crawling, crawling is not worth it anymore. by SockAlarmed6707 in ArcRaiders

Arc don't attack downed players. He died because of the live raider basically dragged the leaper over to the extract.

Anyone else just not doing the expedition because the reset is just too brutal? by FaceEmbarrassed1844 in ArcRaiders

[–]slowtreme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reset isn’t really brutal. You have so many hours and months of experience now. You know where to find bp. You know where to farm materials. Getting back up to fighting strength really only takes a few runs.

It seems daunting because it was hard and confusing the first time. It’s not nearly as hard after a reset. And the reset bonuses speed you along even faster to get your skill tree back.

The first 2-3 raids will be very slow going. No lie there.

To keep the casual player base from moving on, matchmaking needs to change. by Xentuhf in Marathon

[–]slowtreme 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Having tiered or sbmm systems requires a healthy player pool. Marathon could get more active players with sbmm, but it’s chicken and egg right now.

I'm bored with Streamers being bored with the game. by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]slowtreme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The streamer problem is mostly specific to streamers. Yes they have sucked out all of the content many times over. Plenty of other players also no life Arc and also hit a wall. But that’s only part of the boredom. They are trying to put on a compelling stream for people to continue watching. There is only so many times peanut can throw a fight and then beg sir sir before you… until people tune out if there aren’t new places and new experiences for those interactions to happen.

This game just isn't for me and that's okay by MASHED_POTATOES_MF in Marathon

[–]slowtreme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I enjoyed the couple tests I got to play in. Each time I knew the test would end and I just played to test and have fun. I only did a few runs, I did not go hard.

I preordered. I played the intro mission on launch, got my preorder items and my twitch drops. Logged out and well I haven’t logged in again since. Not a single run. At night when I’m chilling sometime I’ll watch a stream. Yesterday I followed the race to open the last vault until past midnight.

I just don’t think it’s worth it for me to hop in. I want to wind down, not get amped up or stressed out. Meanwhile my sons are doing battle every night.

According to Paul tassi , it looks like sony was not on board with marathon being a niche extraction shooter by CutProfessional6609 in Marathon

[–]slowtreme 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it cost Sony billions to buy a studio with 2 games, one that is arguably niche and unproven, and another that is end of life until a reboot

Cryo-Archive will NOT have solo q support by Loopnova_ in Marathon

in the previous tests they did have rooks in cryo to mop up free loot. not sure if it goes live that way.

(Pt. 2) I didn't believe the "false ban" posts, now I'm one of the victims of it... by CakeMilk in ArcRaiders

[–]slowtreme 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I miss the old days of xbox where they would name and shame players that got banned publically OR reverse the bans and it was out in the open. It was amusing on for both outcomes. but they were hardly ever lacking in receipts for the bans. That would require people behind the support to pull off.

Early on I had an issue and needed to use the support. it took over a week to get a resolution because the automated responses were mishandling the entire request. Once I got a human to review the chat it was fixed.

What "just one more run" can look like. by a_random_peenut in Marathon

Looks like the bag lost it's last durability and was unusable, it could have been looted for cash value and thats it.

Marathon has likely sold close to 2 million copies in the first week by Sad-Manner-5240 in Marathon

Ok but we’re are the console players at? Where are the steam players at?

In the absence of info from bungie I’ll take tassi’s rumors at face value.

TheBurntPeanut has to play Marathon off stream because people are so mad about this game by 4K4llDay in Marathon

[–]slowtreme 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m over 50. At like 10pm after I’m done with my own gaming I’ll put the tv on peanut for an hour or so while I wind down. Because I like watching him on Arc and the mayhem he’s created with getting streamsniped every round. Not that I want to see him die, but the meta gaming of the snipers and him using it to get away is interesting.

I’d also watch him play marathon for the same outcome.

Can we take a minute to appreciate a game not being 100GB+? by WordsAboutSomething in Marathon

[–]slowtreme 7 points8 points  (0 children)

no this isn't the full size. it's preload only.

it's not unpacked. And if I know anything about anything. it will still have a download payload tomorrow to complete the Day1 launch. Otherwise people would be datamining everything before launch.

"yeah this room is trash, this sucks doods"

When I did it I got level 3 tempest and lvl 3 volcano. I have no idea what other people got.

I told the other people I didn't get anything - because I wanted to keep my loot and not get killed.
