I wanna be honest and real for a min:
The whole Bungie/Marathon/Destiny situation is so weird to me. It doesn't make sense in my brain.
You have Bungie making the most successful sci-fi, live service, looter shooter of all time, over the last 10 years. They were already known for Halo, and Destiny took it to the next level.
Destiny starts to fatigue. Development starts to become lazy and stale. Bungie fucking OWNS the live service shooter market, with basically no competition, so there's no reason to change.. cause it sells. But as things remain stale for Destiny, there's a HUGE window open in the market. A Destiny 3 fresh start would have been the greatest gift to the community, a community that is far beyond a cult-following. It would have plunged life back into the franchise. D2 just cannot hang on forever.
So instead... they cancel D3, and launch a brand new game. It's not PvP like Halo; it's not a Destiny-like; it's an extraction shooter... kinda a weird genre imo. You have all these Bungie/Destiny fans that WANT to like Marathon, but the truth is - there's little crossover between Destiny players and extraction shooter players. It exists, but it's not what many would want. So who's the target audience here?
Destiny players want Marathon to succeed, so Bungie can succeed, and therefore push resources back into Destiny, and have Destiny succeed. As for Marathon right now, it doesn't look like it's revolutionizing the video game world or anything. It kinda gives off a "been there, done that" extraction shooter vibe. I know it's early, things could change. But these are my early impressions.
So the whole thing just kinda confuses me.. a bit? I dunno. I just feel like a game winning ball was dropped.. hard. This isn't a hate post. I WISH Marathon succeeds; at least at the minimum, selfishly, so that Destiny continues to get more love lol. This is more of a "these are my shower thoughts" post.
Take care, everyone. Much love.

@asha_shar One request I think by the millions of gamers. the next xbox controllers should finally be built with TMR sticks. Yeaaah something that increases the longevity decreases overall sales. But, if 3rd parties are already doing it... 🤷♂️

@TiffanyMayCry Especially with May 5th actually on a Tuesday this year too.

@A_dmg04 @KnownAsSys really wish we stopped getting spoon fed everything and just kept everything hidden and let people discover after release. That is what people thrived off D1 and early D2.

All updated on launch day for the tiered loot in RAD activities. Weekly featured rotations will return for power and such. Helps keep LFG a bit more focused, but if you have a group you can hop into whatever. I know I’ll be hitting Pit of Heresy with my bud off the rip.
TWID breakdown in coming weeks.

@NikkiNic9384 I mean if he comes on and plays then good. I personally don’t want to see Slayton in a giants uniform anymore. He is like normal jobs, lazy sucky people get promoted.

@TiffanyMayCry I am starting to get the feeling that Square is working on a new FF mmo. just a vibe.

@A_dmg04 @Destiny2Team
The wheel can't be turned for this update. It has to be big and fresh. If its the same a week or two out spoil all the content in dev updates and Twabs, and then it releases with the same play cycle and no good story or discoverability, destiny will be doomed.

I am really struggling to reach out to friends and mutuals to play games with because I feel like people will think I’m trying to leech because my view count is lower due to the prolonged periods I had off, so if you have any advice or even want to game together please let me know, my anxiety is making it physically impossible to do anything about it and I’m stuck in a cycle
