@PaulTassi @Forbes Honestly would have been completely fine if they had ended destiny with tfs and made marathon a successor. The extraction is still fun though even with my hate of the pvp

‘Marathon’ Would Have Made A Great ‘Destiny 3’ via @forbes
Before you say it, this is not about erasing the extraction idea, but just wondering how things might have been if Destiny stopped and Marathon fully took up its mantle with an expanded game

@GermanStrands If it did happen. Just a single extra player for a duo co op.

@MagestrixRiley I want to play battletech on tabletop so bad! I been slowly collecting the minis xD.
English
It's ok if you only play BattleTech on the tabletop.
It's ok if you only read the novels.
It's ok if you only enjoy Alpha Strike.
It's ok if you only play the video games.
It's ok if you're only in it for the lore.
All of BattleTech and MechWarrior is awesome, and so are you.

@jepy_gaming @PaulTassi @Forbes They captured several big fps streamers. Just turns out that the extraction shooter genre has a smaller audience than they thought
English
@PaulTassi @Forbes When you make a game this big in this genre you have to capture one of the big streamers, or spawn some new ones. Don't think that happened

A ‘Marathon’ Reality Check: It’s A Good Game, But It’s Not A Hit via @forbes forbes.com/sites/paultass…

@PSultimate340 @PaulTassi @Forbes Seeing big names not actually do research into a genre and finding out after release that it has a small audience.. yeah that totally never happened before
English
@PaulTassi I’ve read your article and, honestly, what you’re implying is extremely serious: that neither Sony nor Bungie knew what audience they were launching Marathon for. Are you really trying to say they expected massive numbers from a punishing, tough, and clearly hardcore game? Because if so, then you’re saying the studio and the publisher poured a huge amount of money into a niche game without understanding their own market. And that would be a far more serious accusation than it may seem.

@Courier_07 @beggarprince11 @PaulTassi @Forbes Annoyingly you have to pay extra for it. Single Player Tarkov mod might still be around and it is free. You still need original tarkov for it to work

@destiny_thememe The amount of hunters playing d2 right now has to be so much higher than titan and warlock combined.
English
Warlocks and Titans should just give up competing in Guardian Games and not bank any more medals cause Hunters already won lmao 😂😂 seriously stop banking medals. Please

Obviously The Witcher has 40x the story and characterization, but I genuinely think Crimson Desert has one of the all-time best video game world sandboxes ever

After playing these back to back I gotta say crimson desert has got its claws in me deeper than the Witcher 3 ever did. It’s truly been a great start to 2026

@MacticsG1 This is why I liked pinnacle weapons. It was something to strive for

The casualization of destiny will always be one of its biggest banes.
Forsaken era destiny had loads of content/gear to chase for casuals and sweats alike. One of the biggest mistakes they made was making the challenging content easy and making aspirational weapons handouts.
MJ-@LowmanLegend
Thinking about the DCV era of destiny is genuinely just hilarious in retrospect, they were seriously going insane at that studio. The year and a half period from and after was the peak “accessibility era” for them when they turned an already pretty easy game into baby’s first looter shooter. Removing things like hotswapping and two Icarus dashes for the reason of “it’s too hard for people to play with.” Just insane. My favorite though was the removal of pinnacle weapons. They say it was because of power creep but it really wasn’t, evidence by the fact that they’re mostly all back in the game right now. It was because people whined and complained they couldn’t get them so they had to go, then we get “ritual weapons” as a replacement which were mid at best and were extremely easy to get. Just unbelievable how they just neutered every single grind that gave the game identity for the audience barely playing the game, I don’t even want to call them casuals because casual Destiny players will typically still try to interact with the games flagstone systems (or at least they did). I mean what meaningful grind has there been in the past 6 years? The only one that was actually enjoyable I can think of was onslaught during ITL. Every thing else is has been some meaningless thing like power level grinding or bounties every season. Just no aspirational content anymore

honestly, usually i appreciate my titan & warlock brethens. As a debuff hunter who does ok damage but not THAT much, it's good to work with other classes.
This stops at Guardian Games.
Now is the time for slander.

"Oh man Destiny players are playing Marathon, we're gonna see a bajillion 'Shaxx's Bathwater (Adept)'"

@ItsTomographic I bought it, im gonna try it, but I just dont really enjoy pvp like I used to. Maybe marathon will reignite that spark, or I maybe I just end up refunding it, but I WANT to try it for myself.
English
Marathon is being so slept on by the FPS community.
It's been really interesting as a content creator, hearing directly from viewers that they refuse to watch because they can’t get past the polarizing visuals to understand that this is truly one of the best feeling FPS experiences in years with tight gunplay, insane tension (genuinely has my heart beating out my chest) and a gameplay loop that actually rewards skill and decision making.
But I think that's also the games biggest problem. People like to bash the art style but really I think it's that PvP games just don’t stick like they used to. They’re harder to get into, harder to watch, and don’t have broad, instant appeal. If it’s not immediately accessible or visually “safe” people bounce.
So Marathon ends up overlooked, not because it’s bad (it's great) but because it’s different at a time when most players just want familiar.
*It's also crazy that Bungie took such a huge risk on a niche game with a niche art style for such a niche demographic so I can understand where the negativity is coming from as far as gamers wanting more than just "another extraction shooter" but they made a damn good one and I hope more people give it a chance.

@Send1t @LarryFishburger Haters gonna hate. Nothing but love for you man
English
@LarryFishburger Trust me, it comes with the territory. The amount of times I’ve seen comments about how people hate hearing me fuck with people in wildcats or marksman videos is probably more times I can count. Just be you. If people don’t like you, they are not worth your time
English
I genuinely try to never take negative comments personally, but it really sucks seeing someone say I ruined other creators for them by merely being on a lobby/video. I know I can be loud and obnoxious but damn.

@Simon_Hypixel Hey, I upgraded the gaming setup in my truck to a nice laptop. Don't need that controller support anymore :3

Hytale foundation work is going really well, and we're shipping updates at a high rate! Early access is exactly the kind of development I enjoy: move fast, break things, iterate. This is way more fun than I expected! Needless to say, it was a very good investment to save Hytale.
FYI, we've got a hiring push coming after the contest wraps up, and you can expect updates to come even faster in the months ahead. The team will be about 100 members, with very few management/producer roles. Organized chaos.
Once the foundation is further along, we'll be moving into dungeons, boss fights, progression, and a ton of exciting content. We have a ton of surprises in the works that have never been done in any sandbox/survival games! Hard engineering challenges ahead ;)

@MR3Dev @PaulTassi I would if there was a co op. A lot of the pve extraction shooters are not co op so there is another hole to be filled xD
English
@PaulTassi You think Destiny 2 players would rush to Marathon if the later had full PVE mode?
English
I will speak positively about Destiny 2 when there is something positive to say about Destiny 2
Fierce 🏳️🌈@FIERCEDEGAMER
@PaulTassi @Forbes I hope you'll be as dedicated to speaking positively about Destiny 2 as you are posting about the game's changing ratings every day.

@LarryFishburger King! You enhance every lobby! Your a gem and I love your energy <3
