Marathon 2025 - Bungie's new AAAA Extraction shooter

[Thomas Talus]

I'm always impressed whenever anyone can figure out what the fuck Destiny's story is. I couldn't figure out anything more than:

• The big life sphere turned off
• There's no time to explain
• Some guy flew really far away and turned into a bug

Destiny is a lot like TES: The dialogue is mostly atrocious, and the stories are mostly predictable and pedestrian, but there's some real neat stuff hidden in the lore (along with plenty of garbage).

the Story is mostly the backdrop, everything that's happening now is shit from lore tabs from years ago, poorly implemented in the actual, 'present day' story.

and hey.. Cayde was pretty good most of the time.

Reading item descriptions to piece together why that spaceman became a bug was not on my to-do list.

Mother's Day weekend bro, you gotta understand, all the Dads (of Marathon) were busy showering their wife's boyfriend's girlfriend's with attention and money from their 5 jobs, while babysitting their kids so they can have a nice romantic evening.
Am I shitposting right?

Wouldn't be surprised if they start laying the groundwork for Oni or Myth to get the same treatment.

I wouldn't trust Bungie with it, but there is probably more market viability for an Oni reboot right now than there ever was for Marathon. More for the type of game it was than because of any brand recognition (although keeping the animu shit would guarantee the gooner dollar).

it was mother's day, i know this is excuses, but the player count is so low if even a few hundred people have to take the night off it's noticeable at this point.

A stiff breeze could almost shake the player count to zero at this point.

And that's why modern Bungie will never make it.

If they can't turn Konoko into a modern Western female game character, why even bother?

I hear you, but I still feel confident betting we'll be sub-10k peaks by the end of this month. Has the wipe happened yet?
