@wildcat_kickz oof. This comment won’t age well. This game won’t make it to the end of the year. Concord just means a game that no one wanted, that cost multiple hundred millions to make, launched to abysmal numbers, didn’t make any money, and then was shut down later. Marathon is right on that timeline. It won’t make it past this year. It doesn’t make anyone a hater to just point out to the glazers what the reality of the situation is.
This is one of those games I root for and enjoy watching each content update, but just can't get myself to sit down and invest in this game because it seems way too far ahead now. But it's cool to see them continue to produce free content for those that stay up to date.
When you start trying to write stories talking about these kind of numbers, you know the game failed commercially. I will give it a go when they put it on Plus.
@INeedGoodGraphics There is actually a lot of fighting on this front to push us into a world where you can resell digital. Will it ever get here? Who knows. But it's nice to think about.
Wow. You mean a bunch of people who live their life on the internet are upset one of their streaming services went up slightly and rage like it’s the end of the world? Shocker. These are all the same people who never buy games day 1 either and then get upset studios are shut down and devs are fired because they won’t buy games that aren’t on sale for 90% off. There’s no argument PS+ isn’t truly valuable. You’re just asking a bunch of people who would never agree with a price hike no matter what the circumstances might be.
Unless it was a full blown remake I wouldn't touch it. Playing old games has fooled me too many times. It’s nostalgia tricking a lot of people into thinking it looks and plays like you remember and then realizing there’s a reason it was left in the past for those memories. Full remake and I’m in though.
I still don’t know how I feel about this game. 12 hours in and still making my way through some of the worst quests I’ve ever played in a game. Makes me think AI should take some peoples jobs because if this was created by a human you could have fooled me.
Struggling through NTE to see if it gets any better. Also thought about starting Wuchang. Also need to power through Red Dead before it leaves PS+ so that might get a start too.
@themightyant good luck convincing customer service people who probably make a couple bucks an hour to give a crap about the security of people’s accounts…
@Pat_trick the best part about the internet is if they weren’t making any updates he’d be complaining they weren’t making any updates, lol. Being a miserable internet person is a full time job that never ends.
@Nei I don’t understand where you and some others get off criticizing trophies so much? I feel like you just wish you had the time to do them so it’s more of a cope. If trophies didn’t mean anything to a lot of people, they wouldn’t be a thing Sony pushes. They do actually have value, for the sake of any value that can be derived from video games, so talking down about them just makes you seem more petty like beating a Fromsoft game has any more “value” than earning a trophy in a different game does. They’re both meaningless in the grand scheme, but they satisfy who they are intended to in the interim.
@Jay767 the only thing great about Marathon is its technical prowess which was literally just ripped from Destiny. It’s being impressed the creators of Destiny could make a one off mode called Marathon, lol.
The irony is everything they laid out in this last TWAB sounds like the game we all wanted a year ago. Sounds less grindy, less challenging, no portal. Like it or not this game always thrived when it was less hardcore. Don’t really know why the last attempt was to make it more hardcore than ever? As a 10 year player, I’m looking forward to playing in June one last time to see the updates and then it will truly be a distant memory. I also don’t believe Bungie has anything coming in the future. I think Marathon will shut down before the end of the year, Sony will erase the Bungie name and just sparse out the remaining talent to other studios. What a failed acquisition for Sony. It’s worse than even Concord at this point.
I mean, telling people GTA6 launches in November is the entire marketing campaign. They are probably the one game that could just tell us when the game is launching and let the internet just market it for free.
I mean, if there’s no Destiny 3, and they’re barely making Destiny 2 content, and what we got from Marathon was it… like yeah I’d expect half the studio to be laid off. What would they even be working on right now? Anyone who knows this companies history knows this company should would have went bankrupt 3 times at this point. MS saved them, the Activision, and now Sony. There’s no one left to give this colossal mess of a company another bail out. They really shouldn’t have even survived as long as they have.
@AI-Generation nintendo is a completely different demographic and anyone into gaming isn’t going to chose them first. People were complaining that God War and Pragmata were dad games. 90% of nintendos library are dad games.
If you're a gamer first, this is not the doomsday so many want to believe. Even if Sony doesn't deliver anything good, so what? People act like other companies aren't still producing banger games. I mean you could eat for months on end from just Capcom alone. Do I want to see Sony return to form with better games? Hell yeah. Do I think it's some kind of make or break? Absolutely not. No PS player is going anywhere regardless.
I mean, why not ask the chuds who play the lottery every week to stop too? It’s basically just a gamble that pays off big if you win. And everyone thinks they have the winning number
@INeedGoodGraphics most people don’t realize that regular people, not internet chuds, are no where near the ceiling of what they’ll pay for streaming services. All of them are still an incredible deal all things considered. That’s why they can keep going up and the subs never go down.
Do you know how many comments I see from people here who claim they never buy games day 1 either? Like these boards and places like Twitter, it’s just a bunch of people who never spend money on anything anyways. So I would take the poll with a grain of salt. The vast majority of people who actually spend money don’t sit and take stupid polls. And that’s the demographic Sony is after. Not part time baristas that live on the internet.
I put a few hours into this and it's entertaining enough to pass time when you don't want to play a real game but calling this GTA inspired just because it's in an open world city and you can drive a car was wildly misleading. I haven't bee able to kill a single civilian yet.
I don't know why anyone wants to play remasters of these old games. They still play like ass but just in 4k and 60FPS for a small price. What a goofy demographic. I will wait for a remake.
I’ll try it out but with how many other games there are ahead of it it seems like this won’t be plated anytime soon whether I liked it or not. Too much to choose from now days.
