Marathon

Marathon

The blind hate is kinda astonishing.
i mean how can people bash the game without even looking at the cinematic trailer? if the art direction is not the cup of tea for you all then let me remind you that was ONE map of 3 that we would see in the alpha.
also people said that the characters werent "sexy" enough, if you want to look at sexy women and men then go play games that cater that specific niche (which most of the times are slop shovelware)
i understand that the gameplay seems boring, this is an ALPHA which tends to change A LOT of the core gameplays and mechanics after the players feedback (which bungie has heard) just take a look at the alpha of destiny and the huge differences when the open beta got live, dont bash a game this early and IF YOU CARE then you CAN express your opinions to devs like a normal and above average IQ person (acting like an ape with them and hurling slurs wont do anything yk)

this is my honest opinion of the whole debacle.

I'm going to stop right at the first sentence.

It's a CINEMATIC TRAILER.

I didn't really pay attention till gameplay came out and the genre was revealed. From my understanding most people thought the trailer was cool. Kind of wish they'd just made a full length movie instead of a game.

It's a new strain of Mind Virus... the fishes in the shole can't think for themselves.

I don't need someone else telling me turning Marathon into an extraction shooter was a good idea.

Youtubers and data scrappers people call "AI" think for the masses now. We're in the darkest future.

They should fire everyone at Bungie and use AI to make their games. They'd be much better.

Modern gamers are either entitled culture warrior incels that think they're owed access to multiplayer games for free or low skill, anti-social losers that can only handle the low pressure nature of PvE. That's why there's blind hate. Gamers have fell off since the days of PS3.

I did... and then I vomited and shut it off after a few minutes because I realized Bungie was wearing Marathon as a skin suit.

I think the Y2K look is really cool.

This is sadly for most of modern society now. Something wrong wrong after 2015.

Many of us who hate this slop came from deathmatch focused games. Halo itself, Quake 3 and Unreal Tournament in my case.

You can, and should do both for Marathon... and no, this extraction slop is not the way to handle that.

Bungie literally stated they explicitly chose extraction because they thought it was going to blow up.

Marathon already had an amazing art style in the chapter art. All they had to do was base their world on that artwork. This is just an annoying rainbow puke look.

I was also there when most of these games came out. I played the first 3 Halo games, ODST and Reach when they first released. I've seen the changes in the industry live. I think a lot of modern games aren't as good as they used to be for reasons you likely would agree with. I however don't see those issues here.

I don't think having colors counts as rainbow puke.
