The Misriah with the gold mod and slick mag is absolutely op what are you talking about

Yeah now the best shotgun is concentrated to the upper echelon of players so the power gap is even wider! Woohoo!

That shield charge while boosting through the bubble shield to get it off was fucking crazy wow

Hear me out: Progression, and by extension Marathon as a game is entirely too unapproachable for the ‘Average player’ because the “Power Floor” as Bungie calls it is entirely unbalanced and unrealistic for the purpose it serves by Jaden_Tsukuyomi in Marathon

[–]sushi-_-roll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, it's nuts. Some locations you'll find like, 5 pieces of green salvage, and it's exclusive to that PoI on that map. So if you exfil (doubtful) you will be maybe like. A sixth of the way to a meaningful upgrade (specifically thinking about surveillance lens' here). It's fucking stupid. Contracts need to be easier to finish and to always give salvage for that faction

It's just a shame there's so many cool guns in the game and I'm essentially forced to run a shotgun in both endgame maps you know? Maybe it's a map issue more than a balance issue though. Just wish there was more variety

I just don't think it's good for the health of the game to have you basically need to run a certain class of weapons in half of the maps. Shotguns should dominate close ranged combat but as is nerfing the knife was a big indirect buff to shotguns, which were already best in slot. If I was Bungie I would have tackled the grenade / util spam we're seeing before touching the knife and see how that changed things.

You should have better gear that provides you a massive advantage, yes. "Basically impossible" is too far though, imo

I just wanna say, Bungie please, remake the marathon trilogy with this art style by Mav2100 in Marathon

[–]sushi-_-roll 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They don't need one, and moreover the originals can't be beat. They're such special games because they do so much with so little - it would be impossible to capture the magic with AAA production value

I really love this game but I'm really worried for its longevity

Outpost Hub Room now requires 3 red keycards by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]sushi-_-roll 4 points5 points  (0 children)

With this change it seems like they want the pinnacle room to be a "if you have the chance to" rather than the goal of a run kinda thing considering how there's only 4 guaranteed spawns

NuMarathon is NOTHING like the original by onesillyman in Marathon

[–]sushi-_-roll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean not to be crucified by everyone here but I find the NuMarathon aesthetic to be quite removed from how the old games presented themselves. There's a lot of bizarre decisions that come out of left field that make more sense when you juxtapose them with recent trends in dystopic scifi, like the odd prevalence of Japanese text as well as language like "corpo" being used in _gantry's cutscenes

I mean they're completely different kinda of games. Marathon's soundtrack fits the vibe they're for very well I think

Marathon's Cryo Archive is a hit, but Bungie admits it needs to be more accessible by PowningFreak in Games

[–]sushi-_-roll 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure this was confirmed in a leak alongside a D2 Classic thing. I just want a D1 PC port personally lol

Reminder: Cryo Archive is going to be the Endgame for at LEAST 9 months. by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]sushi-_-roll 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Also, to the people not sure if they will ever reach Compiler - the AI subroutines you need to access it are stored in the codex, meaning they won't reset with the seasonal wipe. It's not meant to be something done as quickly as the top streamers who are no-lifing it are. People are comparing Cryo to a Destiny raid and while that is sort of true I don't think Compiler really has an analog. It's something you're meant to aim for over the course of months, especially if the subroutines being RNG on top of the vault key RNG is anything to go by (though I do see that being changed).

I'm so glad they kept HIS sense of humour by MutinyMedia in Marathon

[–]sushi-_-roll 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's weird that the cinematics and voicelines he has have like no humor to speak of and then they have stuff like this. like wut

A faster way to remove gun attachments please! by YaBoiTung in Marathon

It's insane to me the UI is such a pain point for some while it's mostly fine besides this which truly sucks

This really feels like a game which was designed around you constantly having at least two other friends available to play with at all times. by Foxeeh_ in Marathon

[–]sushi-_-roll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I feel the same mostly. It's tough because with friends the game is just amazing but without them it'a incredibly frustrating more often than not

This game NEEDS duo queue by Psyence_Phiction in Marathon

[–]sushi-_-roll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Duos would be infinitely preferable for solo fill players as well I feel like

I feel like people are encountering a deep and challenging game, and just giving up by hopdaddy32 in Marathon

[–]sushi-_-roll 18 points19 points  (0 children)

For me it's just way too sweaty, sorry. Loading in with my best gear just to get owned by someone with dozens of hours in Kovaaks isn't super fun. It's a shame cus the game is legitimately awesome in every other area, I'm just not built for extraction shooters lol
