@oryxeleven@PaulsGamingLive Going from Graphic realism to graphic simplicity I’d imagine hurt it a bit. You could’ve still had all those beautiful colors and vistas, just grounded in a more realistic approach. Like Destiny but better.
@3tap3tap3tap@LavenderGhast It was closer to this for sure. The art director in an interview said they swapped away from the more heavier graphics for “graphic simplicity”. But by time marketing started the transition was already underway so it’s a lot of mixed signals in the marketing on look/feel.
@ImperialHal Weird to compare this to Arc when more direct competition exists…ya’know, Tarkov? Delta Force? These are the comparisons that should be made since those are First person extractors.
@solgob_ Why all this comparison between Arc and Marathon? Where’s the real comparisons to maybe Tarkov? Delta Force? Both thriving Extractors for the First person shooter crowd and yet all I see is Arc for whatever reason.
Stop comparing Marathon to Arc Raiders what it SHOULD be compared to is Tarkov or Delta Force. These are thriving extractors that are also first person. The audience Marathon wants is in those titles. Not Arc Raiders for the vast majority of its player base.
@JakeSucky It’ll only be sweaty fights because that’s all will be left a month after release. This being more hardcore focused and not casual is more the Tarkov scene and they ain’t vibing with this.
@RocketeerDriver It’s shit. I’ve said a better use and worthiness of a wipe would be if they expanded the existing skill trees with a few NEW and useful skills to justify the need for more points in things that are relevant to my way of play. Skin is bad, don’t need to hoard more slots…
@SoftServedGummy@JakeSucky The gameplay is literally one of the worst experiences I’ve had in a controller to date. You move like a 70 yr old man with a hip and neck disk replacement. It’s such an unfun experience. And this is coming off the most recent experiences btw.
FOR THE RECORD, THIS was the Marathon we were excited for. THIS was the version of the game that had millions of views and excitement around it. The slop being pandered off now is just a cheap copy. We could’ve had glory. A truly amazing experience…but no…robbed of it all.
