Bacon Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Apparently, this is a Tarkov game. Thought it was going to a single-player FPS. Big letdown. https://www.marathonthegame.com/y3vmGPNRxH3RNTqLkq5PFXZy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stepee Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 I’m okay with this, Bungie makes games for other people than me that’s fine. The name is rude though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacon Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Never played the old games. Those old FPSs made me not even try an FPS until Halo 3. I was just hoping for more Halo but actually good again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the art style of the game doesn’t seem in-line with anything I just read about those games, other than ‘you can play with other people’.

crispy4000 Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Yeah, I definitely want this to be a different game. But I also don't know how you make a new Marathon in 2023 and have it stand out from the pack. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moa Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Neat, a Bungie game dedicated to PvP seems like a good move since Destiny isn't exactly a drop-in drop-out game. I think extraction shooters get a bad rap due to how punishing and unapproachable Tarkov is, but other games in the genre like Hunt Showdown are pretty chill experiences.

If you consider Hunt Showdown to be a "chill" experience, I'm absolutely terrified to contemplate what experiences you'd consider to be "intense" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Hunt is a much more casual experience than round-based FPS’ like CS or Siege that are all PvP all the time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Wonder if this will be free to play like how Destiny 2 is now. I would have to wager it will be given it'll be a live service game with seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fizzzzle Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 As soon as a game becomes free to play, I immediately lose interest. Developers intentionally make free-to-play games suck so that you buy shit to make it enjoyable until it starts to suck again, rinse and repeat. There are exceptions, of course, but not that many.

I feel like we lost bungie’s incredible multiplayer prowess at a very strange time in the industry. Like, destiny’s multi could be quite good at times but it wasn’t the thrill that halo was. I especially miss great big team battle type stuff from them. So I’m cautiously optimistic. Let’s get away from the destiny formula. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
