Lemonade

@HaloNoSprint @MarathonGG_ ?? I got 65 hours into it... I like the game.. I just don't like cyro or think it'll help grow the game

@LemonadeUpgrade @MarathonGG_ The whole game isint for casuals if you havent gotten the memo yet. This is the hardest made out of all of them. Sounds like you just dont like the game bro

What are everyone’s thoughts on Cryo Archive so far 🤔 Let us know down below 👇

@jimmyjerkit @hard8_times @LukeStephens Yup same. He had nothing of value to say in the discussion about the game but he milked it

@hard8_times @LukeStephens I discovered him recently when Highguard released. I immediately took notice that he was incessantly milking the failure porn aspect of the dead game for views. I stopped watching him shortly after because I found that he wasn't saying anything of value.

I stop watching @LukeStephens a couple yrs ago when I found out he was a fraud and his opinions always align with the crowd every time he's a clown

@8BitClosedFist Luke Stephen's getting smashed on the TL is so good to see 👏

Ohhhh brother

@rrubykun Gahhh yes Im aware 😅 but I was hoping it'd be a bit more accessible in general and for solos. Think bungie just needs to look into creating new dynamic events in the other maps so fills and solos can earn new goop that way

@LemonadeUpgrade It’s not meant to be casual

Not enjoying it. It's just convoluted. If you're into it great but I don't see casuals sticking with it. If this is the type of content coming then unfortunately I don't see how bungie "grows" the playerbase from where we are at.

@vahneeluh Weekends only too. As you listed It's just a lot of limiting factors that make this not the big slam dunk I think I was hoping for. Bungie will need to make it more accessible or ramp up some cool dynamic events on other maps to allow casuals and solos to earn new goop there

takes roughly 20-25 hrs of gameplay to even meet the level requirement, you can't solo at all, and id imagine playing with crew fill would be a complete nightmare too, all topped off by the gear ante that severely limits the number of runs the average player will be able to do

i think i get why they were asking review outlets to hold off until cryo; it is by far the most enticing piece of content this game has to offer atm, but unfortunately a large sum of players will inevitably lose interest in the game before they can even access it & miss out

@FreshReviewsYT You play it yet?

@LemonadeUpgrade Oof

@zoramnk @mjrmonkey I'm not saying I was surprised. But I figured it'd be a bit more accessible. cryo being weekends only, no solos, and for foreseeable future requiring a pre-made it's a letdown

It is an “end game” type of map that they have stated numerous times. They’ve also publicly stated that it’s a very high risk high reward map. It’s fully designed to not be for “casuals” which I enjoy. Casuals shouldn’t be rewarded with the loot this map offers because it tests your skill in this game

@MarathonGG_ That's fine but I'd like to see what and when their plans are for other new maps like dire, outpost etc. And also making more events on the current maps to allow casuals another way to get rewarding goop so they keep coming back.

@LemonadeUpgrade It is supposed to be the toughest map in the game so def not for casual players

Played 4 runs with 2 ppl I've met in the game. Just having to find security keys, go multiple clearance levels, find batteries, cryo packs, bring keys in, stacks of purple bots, exfil sites across map, no final exfil labeled, map layout has lot of corridors and levels to memorize. I'm sure with time it'll get smoother and the loot is nice but you really need to risk a lot to have success (multiple bubble shields, lots of ammo, multiple self revives, heals, shields, virus packs) you can get in with 5k but I'd argue you need bit more than that. Plus it's restricted to weekends. I get it it's pinnacle content, but again I just don't see how casuals will see it as a hook to keep playing the game. Think most will get annoyed with it or not play leaving them to 3 maps

@LemonadeUpgrade haven’t tried it yet, what about it didn’t vibe with you?

@katafiliaVT @TauCetiGG Yup I love marathon too. But we need growth and pinnacle content like this is not a pull. We need more maps like dire, perimeter and outpost

Exactly right! People seem to think im attacking their game but i love Marathon and I want it to succeed. The average player is very casual and like it or not we have to cater to these people and draw them in if we want Marathon to survive. If we dont increase player numbers sony will cut back funding and this game will die a slow death. Guaranteed.

First thoughts on Cryo Archive? Don't hold back.

@LORDOFSUCC1 Yeah that too. It being locked doesn't help either on top of everything else

@LemonadeUpgrade Im hoping we'll get another casual map soon. I do hate that this is locked behind the weekend.

@katafiliaVT @TauCetiGG Yup valid. They can't grow a playerbase with this type of content. It's already a harder game as is and it's end game content will be too annoying for casuals to want to grind which restricts what they are even playing for

@TauCetiGG Content like this will kill the game unfortunatly. not accessible for the casual and player numbers/new players is what we desperatly need right now to survive.

@Onepeg Not loving the layout or the puzzles tbh

Cryo: - bots aren’t bad so far. - puzzles are very cool - map layout is awesome - PvP is way more lethal than the NPCs - the map definitely rewards slow playing the first section where you spawn and trying to 3rd/4th party other teams. 6 teams total so you can def count them off

Hello Tau Ceti <3

@Adiofreak "critics are slamming it"... 1 negative , quarter mixed and majority positive. Steam reviews sit at mixed.

Crimson Desert has been the most hyped game for months but critics are slamming it, fuck them, I want to know how the players like it.

@RyGilliam I'm trying 😭 but happy with the progress so far

80k credits 125k Vault full 25 unredeemed faction rewards Gear fear is a lie. Just don't over extend yourself too early or too fast. Know when to run. #marathon

@TalonRahl_exe LOL well listen, i will be watching a few videos/streams before jumping into cryo . someone else can be the early guinea pig

@LemonadeUpgrade 300k credits 390k vault full. VIP rank in everything but sekiguchi(such a grind) Gear fear is real. I won’t be using all my zillion golds till I know cryo by heart. Kill everyone faster than they kill you. Know when to throw multiple bubble shields. #Marathon

@SteamTrader @LoochyTV Yup. They treat ign as some universal entity. It's not, it's just a platform for various writers to give their opinions

@LoochyTV The issue is that many gamers treat scores like a mathematical certainty. Ultimately, reviewers are people with their own subjective experiences. Easy solution is to follow the advice of those who usually enjoy the same things you do, not treat scores like a universal truth.

Every YouTuber I’ve watched review Crimson Desert has loved it for the most part. IGN gave it a 6/10. They gave Concord a 7/10 🤣
