What buying goyslop does to you
This faggot says "unc" so he is obviously brain damaged and pays money to a twitch whore playing maratroon lmfao

I stopped calling people Zoomer as an insult because they are much older now, so is Unc a Gen Alpha thing? Do these faggots listen to soundcloud rap like the Fortnite zoomers did, those wiggers funded all the live service model cancer and now its slowly dying.
 
They spent several hundred million on a niche genre of game,
And that is why you will be hearing that bungee is shutting down this year.

You don't spend that amount of money on a genre limited to a tranny % of gamers.

Bungee should have done a AAA single player/multiplayer game and Marathon as a side hustle. They put all their eggs into a basket and brought it to a BBQ filled with vegans.

Stupid. Bungee is stupid.
 
Clicking on a user's postings and seeing what games they enjoy is like the equivalent of checking early life on wikipedia.

Lets see Monster Hunter, Battlefield, CoD, Skyrim, and Hell Divers 2

And I'm the one consuming slop?
The citizens of Super-Earth are not slop. They are the cherished cogs in the machinery of managed democracy.

Anyway, lol.

Twice in a generation, I think Highguard absolutely counts.
Honestly if SEGA of all fucking companies hadn’t shown a sense of business sense and killed Hyenas, we would likely already be at 3.

But because Hyenas was killed before release and became a tax write-off, I don’t know if it counts or not.

When you're controlled by another company, you really don't have the autonomy to make those sorts of decisions unless there. Bungie has some autonomy from Sony, but I don't know how much of that is real, just like how Jason Jones is nominally still heading the company but checked out years ago. His Wikipedia page uses a picture of him at an E3 conference twenty years ago.
 
Most of us are just here to point and laugh at a game we will never touch as it crashes and burns.
I have nothing against Bungie because I never played Halo and had fun with Destiny, so I really don't care what happens to them as a studio. I want Marathon to fail because every time one of these games dies it's another step closer to the end of the live service gold rush.
It's sold over a million copies and still has 10s of thousands of people playing it despite having been out for over a month now.
I think you'd be a lot happier if you went here instead of getting consistently bodied every time you post cope in this thread. There's trannies on the front page so you'll feel right at home.

They should have used a tiny fraction of the budget and attached it to Destiny 2 as DLC for 20 bucks. Since it copy-pastes Destiny's gunplay it's not like it'd be out of place, and they wouldn't be splitting the ever-dwindling playerbase of Bungie ride or dies.

I have to disagree. Highguard's rise and fall was hilarious but it had nowhere near the level of investment and astroturfed hype that Concord did. I'd say Concord is the biggest flop in gaming history, relative to the resources put into it.

Even E.T. managed to sell over a million copies before the rest got dumped in a landfill.
 
In entertainment history, even.
I was gonna say maybe the movie Heaven's Gate was worse, but even it made some money ($3.5-million box office vs $32-million budget), while Concord made literally nothing.
 
with 50million in gross sales and around 300 million to make the game, they're already taking a 250million $ loss.

After their 600 million $ loss with concord, sony is down nearly 1 billion $ making shit games that no one asked for and no one plays.

Marathon will be shut down by the end of the year.
Sony might bite the bullet and keep it operating at loss just so they could pretend that Bungie isn't a complete financial black hole, and retain some of its value. For a possible resale, if nothing else.

$400 million budget for concord, not including marketing, and it made NEGATIVE revenue. Not negative profit, negative REVENUE. When they issued refunds through steam, they had to supply 100% of the refund, not just the 70% of the revenue they kept.
 
Yeah I know, i'm not saying it should not be what it is, or that extraction shooters should change for the normies, it's just that it seems so barebones from the outside with nothing seemingly happening around the most basic core of it. Again, haven't played it, but that's what it looks like to me.

For example if I was hosting dirty orgies for homosexual fat people, and I was the main fat homo (I AM NOT THIS IS JUST AN EXAMPLE I SWEAR I'M NOT, I DO NOT DO THIS) of the house, it wouldn't have to be just an empty house where people fuck on the floor. There could be pancakes and shit. And maybe a darts board on a wall. Perhaps one of those retarded sex swings hooked to the ceiling, I don't know.

It would still remain a homosexual event. Nobody would say that the evening is ruined because of pancakes. Some of those fat homos would come just for the pancakes and stay for homosexual activities. And who knows, some of those guys playing darts could be straight, but playing darts makes them horny enough to try fucking a man. In the ass.

That's all I'm saying bro
Even if you WERE saying that the genre should change for the normies, what the fuck is the problem with that? Why is everyone so defensive about games having one single game mode nowadays? Have we completely forgotten what made triple A games great in the 360 era? The plethora of features, and ways to play the game? Now a game ships with one fucking gamemode and people defend it, FIGHT for it.

This was a big argument with Arc Raiders. People would say they want a PvE mode, and others would say that such a thing would defeat the point of the game. Can people really not conceive of a way to have a PvE mode that doesn't affect the economy of the extraction mode? Because I can. What's wrong with wanting a mode where you can explore and experiment in peace? But of course, the modern cucked gamer thinks handling two game modes is too much to ask for, after all, you can't simply have a game mode with no progression just for the fun of it.

I never would have played Black Ops 2 as much as I did if it weren't for Search and Destroy. I'd have put a hundredth of the time I did in the Halo series without custom games and forge. I would have not have cared for Gears of War beyond the campaign without the horde mode.

GAMES SHOULD HAVE MORE MODES AND YOU'RE A RETARDED FAGGOT IF YOU DISAGREE.

I mean in general, I know you guys aren't the ones defending this

About that. They already did.

Not 1:1 but Lawless Frontiers are an extraction game mode added in Renegades. There is PvP (only if you select contested zones/invade) and PvE. You get extra abilities (don't remember what they were called, literally haven't touched this gamemode since i got all the crystals.), have set objectives with one always being slay out and move on. I'm not doing it the best but it's not terrible for what it is. The DLC was for sure Bungie trying to get the player base comfortable with this kind of game with Lawless Frontiers. I think they might've overestimated how many people actually.

They should've taken a Borderlands 3 Arms Race approach. I think the flow of the gamemode plays very well there due to the lack of character abilities at all, forcing you and others to rely on the gear you find and your knowledge on enemies and your skill. There's also the fact you can only bring everything you're carrying back IF you find the extraction modules. Hell if this is attached to any looter shooter it makes you appreciate some weapons you didn't previously. I went from thinking the CoV pistols were dogass but getting one in arms race was baller. Made me hate Maliwan even more though, fucking gearbox.
 
Currently as of 09:00 UTC, Marathon has been beat by an early access extraction shooter.

Gray Zone plays into the PMC milsim-lite aspect of Tarkov with less bullshit and also has a dedicated PvE mode, so it constantly siphons off players of other extraction shooters that let casual players get constantly ganked by the sweatiest full time players.

Wikepaedio are autistic about image copyrights, so that's probably the last time they were convinced it was okay to post an image of the guy. There's probably some quiet edit war two years long trying to get an up-to-date image put in there instead being waged by some feckless naive helper and some random squad of angry troons, as is the case in practically all edits on WP these days.
