Marathon (Bungie) PS5, Xbox Series X, PC

[Waldo Geraldo Faldo]

I know that, I'm talking in terms of commercial success. It feels like something I don't see huge discussions around compared to when Destiny was launching. I could be wrong though.

I don’t know if measuring a game success off of discussions is a concrete formula but for what it is worth the game sits in the teens on preorder charts on PS And Steam

Quite sure the server slam will boost that ranking, how far? We just have to see.

Well yeah not just here, but it could just be my bubble. It feels as if I don't see much hype around it but that could just be my bias.

Honestly, I wouldn’t take that for face value, especially here in the Arcadium.

I don’t think extraction shooters are this audience’s thing.

Arc Raiders was one of the most successful games on the market now and when it came it.

Thread wasn’t sticky and hasn’t been at all.

Taking that at face value you would think the game flopped on the Arcadium, but it is far from it.

It's not just your bubble. Arc Raiders betas had people buzzing and begging for a shadow drop, I haven't seen anyone even talk about Marathon. It's gonna have to have an amazing launch that distinguishes itself from Arc Raiders to pull people away and have them spend money on it. Bungie's name still has some pedigree when it comes to gunplay, so it's possible, but they've got an uphill battle.

As a destiny fan, I hate this game.

It does look good tho..

I'm conflicted.

I mean for $40 that’s just another Destiny expansion at that point.. but you may as well wait it out. Once them first month hypebeasts die out it might be a whole other story for this game.

Best to wait on it. What I imagine will happen is the hardcore mofos that think they’re running shyt are gonna find out that they need noobs to survive. Once the noobs leave, after being pushed out by the relentless difficulty, and it’s just them they’ll realize they don’t wanna be sweating in the gym like that. All this will take place over about 2 months before Sony steps in with the challenging market conditions.
