I still can't believe Sony bought these nikkas 
bungie being hyped about beating diablo DLC and sims 4 packs is hilarious all on its own. even without the tech issues, they were right to delay for this window
but its crazy that NIOH deluxe edition is moving units like that all on its own

Arc Raiders is about to hit 13 million copies sold
I wonder what Marathon's sales expectations are.

Arc raiders blowing up is def helping marathon.
The $40 dollar price point being one of the main things, it helped normalize
Calling direct competition help is interesting framing ngl
He is on point though.
In April when Bungie introduced the game folks were questioning how are they going to charge $40 for the game.
Also, saying extractions shooter are niche or saying that the extraction shooter market is too saturated.
Arc Raiders success shows that both of those concerns were addressed.
- Extraction market is just now emerging, if Tarkov and Hunt were the first ones. Arc is the one that blew the roof off.
- Doing that with a $40 price point shows the masses will pay for a game that offers something unique, in contrast to the rest.
arc raiders beta answered those same questions and trended upwards while marathon - which was out concurrently - trended downwards
one had mechanics and systems that were apparent and worked while the other actively pushed people away each day was out. that caused the delay
they're not even trying to find a new player base at this point. they're trying to pull from one that got what they were looking for already

Rising tide lifts all ships
You just saying that without ever playing it.(and I mean the latest builds of the game) You might not be aware but ever since that April reveal they have been testing the game every month with a close group of different players.
Whenever they announce the open beta weekend, try it out.
These two games couldn’t be more different.
It reminds of the COD vs Battefield comparisons, sure on the surface they are FPS games, with Military settings and theatre. Playstyle wise they couldn’t be more different.
Of course there will be some intersectionality with ARC and Marathon but once you actually play it you will see their aims are totally different.
stop it lol
bungie been throwing ass at everyone who ever streamed destiny or took an invite to their events. more than a few people here played it last year or in the closed test a few months back
its got nothing to do with cod/battlefield. it has to do with the game forcing elements from pvp/pve together that don't fit and forgetting to highlight any form of a progression system along the way
I played it as well last year.
And to me the PvE and PvP blended well. It reminds me of a more refined Dark Zone from the Division.
A lot of shyt busy and cool shyt to do in the world and plenty of world/character progression
Once the NDA goes away I will share my write up I did while playing the playtest with you.
Ain’t nobody checking us here breh those are bots in the guest section. I would’nt compare it to Division at all tbh as there’s no safe room to chat with others or any real co op moments to speak of outside of your squad. You’re not taking back zones, like the opportunity to work with others just ain’t there.
My comparison with the Division was purely from an abandonment and eerie feel the world has. Plus the inclement weather and atmosphere that can change over the course of a match.
not gonna lie this gunplay looking nice
