@redbneedle @Jyung_woo @JNavok Correct a game merit isn’t based on sales it’s on quality. Usually one follows the other but you are too retarded to understand nuance
English

Sony owns a ton of digital real estate on the Playstation dashboards to push Marathon. It's lack of marketing push to support the numbers speaks to the lack of faith from the platform holder.

Nearly 2k loss in peak in 24 hours. Brutal. I had thought the floor was 15k, could be looking at 10k floor.

@Jyung_woo @redbneedle @JNavok Yeah this guy is literally just dump spewing garbage with 0 salient points. Marathon is good sorry bub
English

@redbneedle @JNavok @ZiercatManor And you're another DEI shill, enjoy sinking yet ANOTHER AAA game due to DEI.
English

@Jyung_woo @JNavok So you played 0 hours and think you can give an opinion? You’re literally the problem. Play the game and share your real opinion or shut the fuck up
English

@ZiercatManor @JNavok Im a gamer, not an activist so i spend my time playing good games like crimson desert.
Marathon was ugly and unappealing so i spent zero hours on it like i did concord.
If their issue is poor marketing than yes, this is their issue, unappealing characters withdraw interest.
English

@Jyung_woo @JNavok It’s by all metrics very good…how many hours have you spent on it to for this opinion?
English

@MarathonGG_ It took us a bit but my friends and I have gotten vaults 4/6 with a couple good weeends of effort. You can get the vaults done if you play smart and know the map. If your goal is to get your compiler progress you have to prioritize escaping with the subroutines

@OssianTT @glorpinity When the facade drops is so fucing funny. Everyone in the strong box the bam claymore
English

@glorpinity Because of Mercy revives, it's now usually 3V3, 4V3 or even 5V3. And then a free-for-all once the team in pinwheel is dead🤣
English

@JoePostingg I’ve been trying to get back under 13 for 2 mile first like I used to be able, that sub 7 pace can sometimes feel really relaxed but grueling other days
English

@SgtSlag @Quixahtic @Forcer69 If u have bigger vault the span of time before a free kit or rook session would increase dramatically is the point. Currently if you hit a losing streak you are thrown back to that pretty quickly
English

@ZiercatManor @Quixahtic @Forcer69 but you still have the choice. a larger vault does not restrict them from playing at the pace they claim they enjoy, that's the point. It takes nothing away from them, while benefitting others.
English

@SgtSlag @Quixahtic @Forcer69 It would mean you wouldn’t need to rook or. Free kit for a very long time
English

@Quixahtic @Forcer69 a larger vault doesnt prevent you from maintaining this flow
English

@DarcySelke @xShephardx @GoreTiger64th It was just such a monumental leap in quality from the first in terms of combat and AAA factors . It was a high bar in quality of combat mixed with cinematic story telling that other games have failed to reach since as consistently. True empire strikes back of gaming
English

@ZiercatManor @xShephardx @GoreTiger64th I mean I have other hot takes with the ORIGINAL post which is like as much as I like Baldurs Gate, it’s not a GOAT rpg of all time.
English

Get the fuck outta here, respectfully.
Crimson Desert has no fucking business being compared to Baldur’s Gate 3, Witcher 3 or Kingdom Come Deliverance 2.
A game with no direction or identity cannot be in a 5 mile radius of the greatest RPGs ever created.
Last Chalice@lastchalice
Crimson Desert is in good company.
English

@DarcySelke @xShephardx @GoreTiger64th I ain’t wrong you ain’t. By today’s standard airs a bit more obtuse but it was so cool for the time
English

@ZiercatManor @xShephardx @GoreTiger64th I strongly disagree that they felt woven in but agree to disagree.
They feel more pass/fail vs something like Baldur’s Gate, KOTOR or Fallout where the connection with a companion seems much more organic.
I like the missions but I guess i’m tainted by the horrible Zaaed one
English

@DarcySelke @xShephardx @GoreTiger64th I mean yeah me3 made a lot of improvements to the pacing and style of missions but it was pretty paired down on the breadth of missions.
Loyalty quests were also many times multi mission and weaves into the main story I.e tali, legion, Mordin….so ur just wrong lol
English

@ZiercatManor @xShephardx @GoreTiger64th ME3 is better, the mechanic of doing 1 loyalty mission per companion was just.. immersion breaking?
Combat was a big improvement from 1 to 2 but still…
English

@Edward1473603 @oliver_drk Yeah but crimson desert makes you listen to shitty writing. I’m enjoying it tho
Zelda just barely has any writing to speak of
English

@oliver_drk Zelda, Mario, Shadows of the Colossus etc all have bad writing but I don't see weebs crying about it. Witcher is based off a book so story wasn't original. Baldur's gate have a long history. I think only Kingdom come is safe to compare.
English

Crimson Desert is already a big hit but it doesn't have the critical acclaim to stand right next to Baldur's Gate 3, The Witches 3 or even Kingdom Come Deliverance 2. Especially when you consider that all of them have good writing.
Last Chalice@lastchalice
Crimson Desert is in good company.
English

@DarcySelke @xShephardx @GoreTiger64th In a way it’s weird. It’s the best game in the series, but I’d argue me1 is the best mass effect game as illogical as that sounds
English

@xShephardx @GoreTiger64th Mass Effect 2 isn’t even the best Mass Effect in the series lol.
NO ONE believes it’s generational.
English

@Nick_Marseil @akatama94595856 Last of us 2 is fuckin impeccable . The show did a weird job for sure but the game itself is great
English

@akatama94595856 It's written there why I put it where I put it.
English

@SupremaToons No reason this couldn't have used the original voice actors SMH
English

@raquelcjesus @auntiesam_2 @FantasyWorldW1 Seriously I think all the book readers disappointed by the show will be happy to get full methodical threads
English

@auntiesam_2 @FantasyWorldW1 yes but thats done and there is nothing to be done about it. but the only way to (maybe) finish in 2 books, its to make them enormous. there is no other way.
English

@kirkoglua @MarathonMedia01 People rly don’t have taste these days.
Glad they are sticking with it. This game will be huge eventually
English

@MarathonMedia01 They fucking made a game that has incredible depth in it. I would be really sad if this game dies. Im glad sony won't let the game die. It is insanely good and well designed in every way. I hope the devs are doing stuff for the solos and casual players so the player count grows.
English

Bungie is “heads-down” on new Marathon content as devs aren’t in a “panic” over player counts

English

@RolandofChilead @notthefakegreg @GamesRadar Bungie has had horrible press in recent years, deservedly. The quality of the game doesn’t change bc of that but people’s willingness to check it out will. Also it’s tough some people are just gonna bounce off it
English

"Marathon is gonna be Game of the Year," actor Ben Starr says, because it has Elden Ring, Baldur's Gate 3, and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 award magnet Jennifer English gamesradar.com/games/fps/mara…
