Marathon...
I gave it a shot...
I played for 4 hours and won't be playing it again...
It's just not for me...
It's early and I understand it was just a server slam but the game felt dead and slow to me...
I don't see how Bungie can fix that before the 5th...
Let's hope they can pull it together before release for those who did enjoy it and for Bungie's sake...
Bungie and Sony might have truly shi+ the bed with this one and that's not good for anyone...
I don't see a D3 ever being a thing anymore especially if Bungie has anything to do with it...
I hope for the best but I truly expect the worst after playing Marathon...
Did anyone else play and if so what did you think?

1 OdpowiedźThought about trying it just to see what the world was like, but forgot. I'd seen some game-play videos and none of it looked fun. Usual fan boys promoting it, but I ignore them. I don't see anything interesting since I'm not a pvp player unless Bungle forces me to be for some specific item or banner that I want. Definitely not going to pay for it.

1 OdpowiedźI installed the Demo on a Sunday. LOL I'm not a skilled PVP player and Extraction shooters seem very discouraging. You have to be in a committed PVP frame of mind to play this game. However, I liked the World design, the alertness with gunplay, the Shells and the weapon customization (mind boggling but I never had time to study it), and the unlocked Lore. I get it that Runs can go bad- like 99.5% of my runs ended in failure. I never got the chance to play Rook which is apparently good for solo/stealth runs. Price is a bit much for standard edition and I hope for a decent sale in the few months to consider rejoining Tau Ceti IV. Destiny 2 is still my game but not every day. I could jump into Marathon for some Runs.

1 OdpowiedźI played it and greatly enjoyed it. There are issues..but imo there's enough of a core foundation to await adjustments and see where they take it. I feel like a majority of dislikes are from people -blam!- to acknowledge what this game has been from the start, and are still somehow hooked on Destiny and PVE only. Can't be bothered to use any additional brain cells to figure out what's going on.

1 OdpowiedźYes, loved it. Just wish it had more content..

I was going to but then I kinda forgot...

Seen a genuine nice exchange in a solos Marathon youtube stream (my youtube feed just sent me> stonemountain64) where solos meet up in proximity chat and decide not to shoot.. even when exfil..: [url]https://www.youtube.com/live/6wxfSliqusM?si=8W6fk_QTeAAQaeQh[/url] figured I'd share... shows the frustration as well as I've seen him die 3-4x really quickly in solos -
2 OdpowiedziThought it looked terrible. Tried it out…. Played one game. Uninstalled. Truly a POS. It is remarkably bad and I can’t even believe they spent a bunch of money on this. Doesn’t even make sense.

1 OdpowiedźI played one round as it was free and Bungie got nothing in return. Uninstalled it. Ugly AF is the #1 reason. Although I have to admit, even though I liked Arc, I didn't buy it. Extraction shooters are not for me. If I want PVP then I want to focus on combat, not inventory management. Halo & COD is where I come from.
-
1 OdpowiedźNope. Looks dull (to me)
-
1 OdpowiedźI didn't play it. I'll refer back to my restaurant analogy and say some of us can smell a bad dish cooking in the kitchen before it is ever served. Thank you for confirming for me my concerns by trudging through it.
-
1 OdpowiedźDidn’t play and won’t play due to how they have handled the D2 community. Keeping up with reviews and opinions and like gov said, it is early but it seems to be performing exactly how I suspected - Decent game that will find a niche audience but nothing groundbreaking.
-
1 OdpowiedźYeah, for about 1 hour. Didn't feel it was great and certainly not worth paying part of my wage for the full game.
-
1 Odpowiedźdownloaded, watched twitch, deleted without starting
-
1 OdpowiedźYeah, Marathon is really, really bad. It truly is an unfinished game. Controls aren't good, menus aren't good. Just bad.
-
1 OdpowiedźExtraction shooters are not my thing. Resident Evil Requiem just released. Time to go kill some zombies.
-
1 OdpowiedźSooo last Century. F-

3 OdpowiedziNo my toxic gf d2 wouldn't let me 😭

1 OdpowiedźNo. I'm not interested in the type of game from what I've seen in trailers. I have tried Deep Rock Galactic as a game that is similar-ish. I enjoyed the gunplay and classes. I hated the extraction timer. I feel the same about Lawless in D2. I typically only play the base version since the extraction is very doable within the timer. I've had failures, but I think all were due to lack of revives when the group was "squishy" rather than running out of time. I've done Whisper (and the catalysts), and it doesn't bother me much. I even somehow managed to solo the Legend tab version. I'm not a huge fan of the timer, but at least you get to keep whatever you earn while trying.
-
1 OdpowiedźNope! * Don't like the genre. * Even if I liked the genre I wouldnt invest more time into a Bungie project - the studio is a shell of what it once was. I'm not even sure what it's bringing to the table that isnt already out there. I guess it would be the gameplay - which has always been solid in Bungie games - but why switch game and genre when it already exists in other forms in their own games - forms I prefer?
-
1 OdpowiedźNope and no desire to play it.
-
1 OdpowiedźI played for about 48 minutes and It was more than enough to make up my mind that I have no interest in this game.
-
1 OdpowiedźFool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. I’m done throwing money at the screen, not this time Luke Smith.

5 OdpowiedziIt’s awful. It’s gonna tank
-
1 OdpowiedźThey need to simplify shields and health. Maybe have shields like other games, slot in , instead of pulse arm and wait a minute before its full.
-
1 OdpowiedźI played and it’s just not for me. Running out of ammo sucks and you get killed too quick because it’s difficult to figure out who’s shooting you. I can’t figure it out but there’s something wrong with the graphics and environment lacking depth perception. Maybe it’s the type of colors and the futuristic look. It’s a beta so maybe they will fix it.
