@TheLucaBlue @nioEX3 @CrusaderTwitch It isn’t toggle. It has an aggressive cutoff if you stop speaking for a half-second. A lot of times it doesn’t even register when you press it. You have to babysit the mic icon to be sure it’s transmitting. They are bent on not giving us toggle for prox chat.

@nioEX3 @CrusaderTwitch They literally implemented a toggle in this new update lol...

Still can't get over how so many people were BEGGING for Prox Chat in Marathon and it's barely utilized

@papadrgnz @CrusaderTwitch It is, was added earlier this week.

@CrusaderTwitch It’s because Bungie deliberately made it cumbersome to use. You have to hold right on the d-pad to talk (a pain in the ass) and the new “tap” option is broken and cuts you off constantly. We need a proper toggle like Arc has so we can use it comfortably.

Sonder is the profound realization that every random matchmade teammate is living a life as vivid, complex, and full as your own, complete with their own routines, worries, and ambitions.

@TipsiPigeon @Arrrrash It cuts off after like a half second. It also doesn’t toggle if it can’t detect your voice at the moment you press the button, so half the time it just drops. It’s horrible.

@Arrrrash That is really strange. Have you determined how long the open window is? Or does it run indefinitely so long as your microphone is picking up sound? It’s a weird choice regardless, but I’m just curious. Toggle it and try counting aloud for like 20s.

Can we talk about how weird the iteration of toggle push to talk is in marathon. They added it in the patch yesterday which was sweet but it’s so weird. I expected to just click once open mic. Click again close mic. But instead it’s like click once and it opens for a bit while you are talking but if you stop then it closes and randomly it’ll close on you mid sentence. Then click again when you want to talk again Am I the only one confused by this?

@Beaver_VII @Arrrrash You can’t use open mic with prox chat, only squad chat. Prox chat is restricted to hold and this broken new setting.

@Arrrrash I don't see even see the real appeal in this setting, either use open mic or push to talk

@Arrrrash It’s not toggle. It has an aggressive cutoff if you stop speaking for a half-second. A lot of times it doesn’t even register when you press it. You have to babysit the mic icon to be sure it’s transmitting. They are bent on not giving us toggle for prox chat. I hate it.

@GeminiJack11 @MarathonTheGame Hi I’m a regular unimportant person. The game is fucking awesome. Hope that helps.

@MarathonTheGame Kinda wish you gathered thoughts from regular people playing the game; the gaming community is more than just streamers and the media

We gathered some thoughts from people who've played Marathon. Here's what they had to say.

@NebsGoodTakes It sounds like Returnal but heavily casualized. As a fan of Returnal, all the changes they’re making aren’t for me.

returnal is one of the best games ever made, this being more of returnal is a good thing, if you disagree you are inferior to me both mentally and physically and you should be skinned alive

@MGS3Lover This but unironically

If you turn off motion blur you do not respect artistic intent and you are therefore anti art.

@VivaLaDoctor Arc Raiders giving into the concept of “friendly lobbies” undoes most of what it did towards making the genre mainstream. If you’re never engaging in PvP, is it really an extraction shooter anymore?

“Polarising genre” arc raiders made that not a thing anymore. “Polarising art style” I mean I guess you could say that but the “many people despise” statement is more of an opinion than anything. A strawman argument. Controversial studio: yeah after Destiny I get that. Now with that being said. Be willing to let a studio turn itself around. I think marathon is showing just that.

@StBrBoOf @2Calico For sure, but buying it puts a buck in JKR’s pockets is the thing. Not that I care, I was just trying to figure out what he meant.

@CopeArtist @2Calico Bruh Hogwarts was woke af

Marathon is a pretty solid PvP game but the way some of these people talk about it you’d think it’s Ocarina of Time 1998 just revolutionizing the entire industry 10 fold and making billions like holy we gotta level ourselves out man

@2Calico Racking my brain trying to think of AAA “chud” games. Hogwarts Legacy? Star Citizen? I’m perplexed. Most “chud” games are indie stuff.

@CopeArtist Unfortunately if I name the recent triple AAA games in recent memory that have taken as much creative risk, just naming them would mark me as a chud. So I will instead allow time to do it's magic good or bad 😁

@2Calico The only one I can think of is TLOU2, and that’s only narrative/scope risk (still extreme though). I guess KCD2 in Hardcore? But it doesn’t force it.

@2Calico And I’m not a Bungie fanboy. This is the first overall good game they’ve released since ODST. From my first hour in the playtest I couldn’t believe they were capable of putting out something this serious.

@2Calico I defy you to name any AAA game in recent memory that has taken as much creative risk. Everything about it is done for the overall vision, not the player’s comfort. Everything about it is done it’s own way. Everything about it is “That’s Marathon”.

@2Calico Every hour I get

@CopeArtist Show your hours played in Marathon right now if you don't mind

@bahlivern The “stop killing games” losers don’t care about Highguard, didn’t care about Concord, are actively shitting on Marathon, and wanted us to believe anyone should care about The Crew. There was never a germ of good faith in the movement.

all jokes appart its pretty fucked up that a game that took years to be made can just... stop existing in less than two months because it wasn't an immediate hit that took all the engagement really validating Ross and his SKG initiative

@Cocivs @2Calico Reach is a horrible game. Monochrome maps, half of matchmaking was Forge World, DMR DMR DMR, bloom out the ass making every gunfight RNG, armor lock, sterile presentation, campaign being mostly empty space and bad Infinity Ward pastiches.

@2Calico Ive seen people genuinely say its the best thing bungie has put out since halo 3. REACH? Taken King? Forsaken? All easily better, the glaze is unreal i guess people are overly defensive considering the manufactured hate train marathon has. But jeez lets be real here
