Well yeah, people are going to focus on the negatives when discussing a $250 million ($3.6 billion from Sony' perspective) disaster. The most notable thing about Marathon will always be its failure. Nobody was praising the interior design of the Titanic as it sank.

We are approaching 7 weeks of being the most searched game on steamdb

What is it on steam like not even in the top 50 games sold? Interdasting.

Just add a PvE mode already, fuck.

Nobody would play that and making it something retards would way would cost even more money. Why would you play single player Marathon over a game like Pragmata?

Grey Zone Warfare and Tarkov both have PvE and its still fun as fuck.

I've played enough Tarkov to be absolutely confused why people would enjoy a PvE version of it. Games like Stalker and metro exist and do a better job of fantasy Russia.

I haven't played Grey Zone Warfare, I watched a tournament of it and it looked like worse Tarkov in every way, but that might of just been due to it being a tournament.

Arc Raiders is basically PvE by this point.

This one I totally understand, it's still a multiplayer game and still has moments of pvp even on the friendliest servers. It's like calling a souls born game a Singler player pve game, it is until it suddenly isn't. Though I think at this point Arc has more in common with a game like Hell Divers than it does Tarkov. Calling Arc an extraction shooter feels like a stretch at this point.

Lots of players want to enjoy extraction style games without getting relentlessly murdered by sweats.

Yeah I cant wrap my head around the extraction shooter loop if the entire purpose is to get an advantage over brain dead AI you can already stomp to death. Both Marathon and Tarkov have a problem where the AI is just an absolute joke, maybe if you were missing both your hands it would be a challenge to beat them.

It's really funny, because it means that far more people are interested in watching it fail than playing it

This game mind broke a lot of people.

It's so ogre.

I have a friend who FINALLY gave up on Destiny like two months ago. Up until then, he was Bungie's biggest shill.
 
Can somebody enlighten my as to why Destiny got popular in the first place ? I spent a couple of hours in both games but found them utterly boring. Bungie's fabled gun play made me fall asleep.

Destiny 1 got popular because Bungie was using Halo to push its success. This was still mostly the same group of people who had just gotten done making Halo Reach, which had come out 4 years prior. The game sucked in people, turned out to be bad storywise, but the gameplay was fun so people coped and kept playing. Bungie eventually fixes D1 and when Destiny 2 comes out, the game rides the "D1 was a good game at the end of it's life so bungie learned their lesson" hype.

Depending on the price it drops at I think the GabeCube has the potential to seriously upset the monopoly Sony currently enjoys (technically shared with Nintendo but they do their own thing).

If console plebs could just get exposed to the Steam marketplace and realise how badly they've been getting ripped off for decades it could be a literal game changer.

AI companies sucking up all of the RAM was actually a ploy by Sony to prevent the GabeCube from being able to enter the market.

That’s what I’m saying, PC has been slowly gaining ground with casual gamers for years and if Valve can make Steam Machine attractive enough to them, then they could genuinely steal the market from PlayStation. And at the same time Nintendo has completely squeezed Sony out of Japan and Switch 2 seems to be more attractive to western 3rd parties than most of their previous consoles.

PS5 will be fine, it’s already sold like 90 million. But PS6 seems like less of a sure bet.

I was desperate to get my hands on a PS5 for the performance improvements on PS4 games, but I think this is the line in the sand for me.

Even ignoring all Sony's anti-consumer bullshit and the price rumours I can't think of anything the PS6 could do that would make me want to upgrade, and Sony have ruined every franchise they have so I don't care about exclusives any more either.

I probably won't get a GabeCube on release because I don't really need it, but it's the only future console I have any intentions of buying.
