@JulienMestreJV@Ganeshdeux I mean, when you have the actual hindsight, it's hard to see it as such bc the parallels don't line up. SNES/PS3 had wildly different sale curves, (the PS3 starting behind but catching up). The only similarity is that Megadrive/Xbox lost but were in the running for a bit
@PiratePatriot47@CiderHype As someone who's been apartment shopping in the general Phoenix area, this is complete bullshit. Average rent is $1500 and up for 600sqft, it's pathetic.
@NiftyN00b You keep going "by some shitter artist" ignoring the larger picture. This is the THIRD plagiarism issue Bungie has had within the last 5 years under the same art director. The guy in charge when this happened isn't in charge anymore for a reason. The whole game looks like her art
@NiftyN00b This has to be the most actively disingenuous way of describing what happened. It is not "0.5% of the art style", the entire game's visual design came directly from a single (originally stolen from) artist. It wasn't "some shitter" btw, it was the Art Director of the game.
@NiftyN00b Really didn't like the gunplay, I really don't like the environmental aesthetic and I'm still not forgiving them for wholesale ripping it off a Twitter artist. They may have removed the *literal* rips but it's still the core of the game. The menus are poorly designed as well.
@NiftyN00b It's just, not. But whatever. Also, no, it's just, not. But whatever. All you said was what FPS in 2025/2026 is competing and the simple answer is this is a genre with tons of high quality legacy titles. I also mentioned several newer games, but I guess we'll just slide past that
@NiftyN00b Doom the Dark Ages, The Finals, again Hunt better, Battlefront 2 somehow still kicking, Indiana Jones, 3rd person but Deadlock is insane, Counter Strike 2, Sea of Thieves still going strong as well, I mean it's not like we're strapped for choices lmao. More content-rich games too
@NiftyN00b I played it multiple times, it's not that good. Not putting 15+ hrs into a game is not giving it an unfair rating. Marathon is not even close to the best FPS in any year, but I do understand you need it to be. I doubt the playerbase will grow, but the game will probably live on
@DashRapid@ruuya1124 If it's a problem with the system put in place by Valve, the creators/owners of the platform, wouldn't that inherently make it a platform problem?
@americanmcgee Hey McGee, so if Hard Mode was the compromise, was Nightmare him getting back to you? Because Nightmare sure feels like someone pissed off balanced it
@Max112327664189@edwardbrgr I should cry that when Gunn showed up to do one bit of a non-serious comedy anthology, it wasn't that great. But I should respect that the multi-million dollar incredibly serious blockbuster for also not being great? Your spine is gonna snap bending backwards like this
