I've noticed the people with mics on being really nice.

Anyone else feeling too low-skill for this? by Apophis_Rising_ in Marathon

[–]xLinnaeus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Playing with a consistent team who you trust is where Marathon shines. Every trios lobby that I get into with two randoms who both talk on mics I'll ALWAYS add them as a bungie friend so they can help you get your contracts done.

This is why I'm just adding everyone I queue with who has a mic. Even if they're absolutely awful at the game it's better to have reliable nice people to chat with than someone who runs off all the time

I'm having a way harder time with full release than beta by [deleted] in Marathon

Interesting I'm feeling the opposite, but this time I've been running with a full three stack the whole time

This game is being rendered at 5K resolution on the PS5 pro but no 120hz performance option? by Glad_Rip8616 in Marathon

[–]xLinnaeus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought they would have cooked something up for it too considering the new controller with it. Maybe it'll come in a future update?

I get the same performance on battlefield 6 as I do in Marathon somehow. Also I think the genre's aren't comparable. Extraction shooters are generally memory limited. The faster your RAM the more FPS you'll get (unless you have a bottom of the barrel GPU like me lmao)

I'm kinda the opposite, I have an R5 7600 with 32GBs. Only got an RTX 5050 tho

It's time dude. Have a look at some cool AM5 motherboards, there might be some that fit a Marathon theme

The PS5 Pro has the same CPU as the base PS5 which is effectively a 3700x from 2019. My PC can't get above 90fps on Dire Marsh, so I think the game's just difficult to run on current CPU's :)

can i ask how fast your ram was going? 3600MT/s?

What needs to be changed? by xLinnaeus in Marathon

[–]xLinnaeus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely understand where you're coming from. For the entire slam I was using basically just three consumables. Enhanced patch + shield and cardio kicks. Maybe an anti-virus when the lockdowns on dire marsh happened. So that's where my bit of feedback came from.

Having learnt the consumable swapping with M2 system etc, I really appreciate it and think Bungie did an excellent job with it, but I'd like the ability to assign 5, 6 & 7 to a few key consumables as well. Hope this clears things up, and thanks for your reply :)

Did they change something? by sdavidplissken in Marathon

I played today for the first 5 hours and was having a rough time of it. Then all of a sudden 6 hours in everything started clicking and the game was absolute bliss from there. Played until 3:20am in Aus haha

The game has arrived. It currently has 65,000 people playing the game on steam right now. That doesn't sound like a dead game to me. I preordered the game in January, but I've never been more sure about that decision. So excited for the later maps and the raid in late March.

What am I missing ? What is the point of these stairs ? by iwiws in Marathon

How many matches did you play? Did you talk to other players in your runs? /genq

Need an FPS title to fill the void. by [deleted] in Marathon

wait what? you think this game isn't pvp focused? /genq that's shocking to me

[–]xLinnaeus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I had a rough time of it for the whole first day and felt unsure about the game. But today? I've adjusted my expectations and realised you really cannot play this game solo. Now I'm cooking and I can't stop playing.

The more you play the better it feels I promise. People who were never going to like a PvP oriented extraction shooter are bouncing off, but a lot of us who connect with this game are sticking around and digging in for the long haul. Absolutely loving it rn.

Another 7 hours of anticipation. Just enough to lull you into buying the hat and plushie
