@DomTheBomb Kind of want this

The Last of Us Multiplayer Game would have been special...

@bocchiyuri I love dire marsh, and how people bring good loot in, but man it is busy, so many people at algae ponds

it sucks that marathon only really has two maps i engage with, cryo is understandably difficult but dire marsh is so unreasonable that i just cant go there

@atomsbitsX @Pirat_Nation Well think about like this, if you’re a kid, every kid plays it, if you don’t you’re left out. It’s like being the one person that is offline, it’s rare.

@Pirat_Nation It feels so odd to be old enough that I have never played Roblox and thus do not understand its hype

Roblox is now more popular than all Steam and PS5 games combined. In 2025, players spent more than 10 billion hours a month on Roblox. That is more time than people spent on Steam and PlayStation together. Roblox also has over 150 million people playing every day.

Shroud is back on Marathon?

@NikTek I think if CD didn’t exist and what we’re looking at is like a high fantasy Assassin’s Creed, it would NOT have the same hype or love behind it.

I've been wondering, if Ubisoft made a carbon copy of Crimson Desert (same story, no microtransactions, same characters, same open world and gameplay mechanics) Do you think gamers would love it or would they be more critical of it just because Ubisoft made it?

@PaulTassi Any specific side quest that stood out to you or was memorable vs the standard open world stuff?

Because there are actual interesting and unique things to find essentially everywhere you go

@Gamesager Incoming recon buff they announced is gonna do wonders

Fully think marathons dead for all solo players just because assassin exist. Every single lobby is just invis waiting for someone to move

@GSB1245 @ZanarGaming It was originally announced as an MMO massivelyop.com/2026/03/19/onc…

@nioEX3 @ZanarGaming Exactly more bs and lies

🎥🎮CRIMSON DESERT Crazy that a game this size and detail had only a budget of $133 million. This is why South Korea and China are starting to dominate gaming industry, they make games cheaper, faster, and have less production issues

@YaaShiro1 @oFernando935 There’s no reason to have ND enter the live service game space when that’s not their speciality. It’s an executive error on their part to even green light. Focus on narrative single player games and do not tie the talent in service space.

@oFernando935 TLOU online era um dos pouco que na minha opinião, poderia ir pro portifólio da Sony tranquilamente, ainda mais pq o original era muito bom e muito querido Agora hero shooter número 552 genérico e GAAS número 72 sem graça acho meio paia

Gurizada vai reclamar dessa atitude da Sony, mas não vão deixar de bater ponto na manada de hate de qualquer jogo online que eles anunciem

Entering AI Uplink:

@MarathonMedia01 Give an opposing team have a second chance in the game by respawning as a ROOK

Bungie’s next Marathon patches will introduce “a new merciful option between crews” and reduce the presence of over-powered thermal scopes frvr.com/blog/bungies-n…

@jeremyhopke @DaReelSebas No, I would NOT recommend marathon to everyone. It’s a great game, I love it, but it’s an acquired taste.

@nioEX3 @DaReelSebas None of that made any sense what so ever. You were on to something with the btc thing thought you would carry it to ppl telling you how awesome and good marathon is only for it to get rug pulled and be shit but no you just rambled.

So it turns out Marathon may actually be a pretty good game? Maybe it’s just those who like to crank their shaft to digital pixels because their wives are too busy with their boyfriends that don’t like it, and keep talking about steam numbers like its Bitcoin.

Haters condemn Sony for cancelling live service games, but then sh*t on Sony live service games, Concord, Marathon.

@MILSIMPRODIGY It's a strategy. An executive believes, they've reached as much BF customers as they could, anyone who would've bought and played has, so they want to go after the audience that has not. It's like the Super Bowl half-time performance selection.

EA/DICE bet hard on the casualized slop of every aspect of the game and while it paid off ($$$$) at the launch of the game, pandering to the players who play and care the least about the franchise ultimately doomed this title from having any lasting playability or impact.

@LokiJarson @eurogamer CEO said they re-recorded SOME of the lines with human actors, but unclear whether they replaced all. Their disclosure also says they use AI for enemy animation and movement, and for to assist game assets, layouts, terrain, NPC behavior, and workflow/content-production tasks.

@eurogamer You mean the voice lines that they eventually re-recorded?

Nexon calls Arc Raiders a "Trojan Horse" for proving controversial AI tools can build triple-A hits with smaller teams eurogamer.net/nexon-embark-a…

@InsiderGamingIG Sony had enough money for their live service games jamboree, but pivoted late realizing ROI might not be worth the squeeze. Plus, live service games Fortnite, Roblox not likely to be unseated by a God of War or TLOU multiplayer title, but they cleared the runway for Concord...

@Pirat_Nation They should come out and straight up tell us the extent to which they are using AI. Are they using AI to heavily automate mundane tasks OR are they using AI for creative decisions that otherwise is slop?

Patrick Söderlund, CEO of Embark Studios and new Executive Chairman of Nexon, backs using AI to redesign game development. He said Embark's successes were not "an accident". "Two games, built with significantly fewer people at a fraction of the cost you'd expect for a AAA game".

@shinobi602 Like using generative AI for voice work?

@BeastOfTruth You do know CD was sent to reviewers ahead of the release to play, right.

One of the biggest problems with Sony biased sites like IGN that warrant the criticism is the fact that Crimson Desert was reviewed almost immediately while they waited almost a MONTH to review Marathon asking people to "experience" it first Why don't other games get such grace?
