Marathon 2025 - Bungie's new AAAA Extraction shooter

[Pierre D'Olnique]

As for QC, it launched to so little fanfare that for years I assumed it had been cancelled.

lol no, SyncError and his dicksuckers apparently are still rotting away in their pisscord server, coping hardcore that the game is doing well actually, that "%whateverlowamountitisrightnow" players is amazing actually because YOU GET TO SEE FAMILIAR NAMES AND FACES and please buy more platinum (premium currency) cuz i gotta eat.
QC is a victim of hubris, delusion and greed. At this point I'm legitimately hoping for a shutdown so someone hopefully reverse-engineers the whole thing and makes it actually properly playable.

lol why not? Literally everybody else did except the Bungie fluffers.

As if the hate train was in any way correct about what the player count would be. Were now on our 3rd month of 'concord 3'.

I think the competitive AAA multiplayer shooter is a dying relic of a bygone past.

I think it depends on what you define as competitive.

It doesnt matter what the genre is, if a game is genuinely fun to play, then people will play it.

It seems like USA based AAA developers are a dying relic, they cant make games worth a fuck.

And don’t forget, wild meta shifts are absolute suffering for casuals. A casual wants to find a playstyle they like and have it be a good-enough ol' reliable they can return to no matter how long it's been since they played.

I agree but i don't think it matters. I think by an large the people still left playing have yet to figure out that this isnt the game they actually want to be playing. It's why every week a thousand or more people drop off. Eventually it just 'clicks' for them, they finally figure out that they dont actually want to play a pvp game with pve as a sound trap against no life degenerates.

It's actually worse than I thought it'd be. I thought it'd drop to the 50-40k range after a few months and then stabilize around that for a while. But we're 2 months in and it's flirting with sub-10k.

Sure, it wasn't an immediate plunge like Highguard or a total failure to launch like Concord. But I never really expected it to be that.

And that's not even mentioning how it apparently did just completely bomb on consoles.

You've been a staple of chart posting in this thread for the past 2 months, don't try and sell me that.
