    Marathon (Bungie)

    Isn't Jones still at Bungie? I thought it was only Seropain and Kirkpatrick that were long gone before sony acq.. but I guess they're not specifically the writers, or the people under.. It seems most head positions are helmed by people who've been around since halo and some destiny 1/2, then...

    Marathon (Bungie)

    Agreed. I have heard positives with the actual gun game, the fights being fun/intense, and ai being relatively interesting with flanking and trying to do things within the combat rather than just mindlessly walking at you or auto-aim you into oblivion.. Which I assume might come from Destiny...

    Marathon (Bungie)

    Is it 10 years too late? Tarkov didn't really start exploding til about 2019/18ish, which would line up to when most of the extraction shooters started coming out that follow the formula(23,24,25). Hunt came out around 2018, but it's fundamentally a different game that is more about a character...

    The Fighting Game Community Thread

    damn, that's actually a pretty fucking epic collab. Ganacci being a standout act over the last couple years imo, then kof/ff is probably toptier fighting game for me.. part that made me lol after that is that Cristiano Ronaldo is also part of the collaboration. Most people joke that KoF was...

    Marathon (Bungie)

    I mean Mielgo is rather profilic and influential over the last few years in the art space.. he also did the test screenings for into the spiderverse which essentially set the tone for how the movies would be, but I think was cut from the project due to wanting to be closer to realism(which most...

    Marathon (Bungie)

    Yeah, I think a lot of the tarkov streamers have had pretty fair reception, and are critical on all the right parts. Right now, the game-play is okay to good but not impressive or outstanding.. but it's a bit shallow on the reason you're going in and actually doing stuff.. Landmark was just...

    Marathon (Bungie)

    I mean, it technically is doing something different than it's Tarkov counter-part.. it's closer to the competitors like Delta Force, Arena Breakout, and The Cycle; but actually far closer to CoD DMZ.. the easiest answer is casualizing/simplifying it.. Tarkov has an essential population bleed...

    General Gaming News and Discussion

    If it's anything, some of the early versions of the dreamcast can play burned cd games.

    Marathon (Bungie)

    Personally, I feel it has a lot to do with the greybox visual of the game; it wasn't this critical til gameplay.. It' leans into a bit of 'unrefined' territory with thing's that is so starkly familiar.. some of the models are oddly jointed, and everything is surreal flat. Even in some...

    Marathon (Bungie)

    I can concede to majority of the points, and fully accept that this could very well be that this is slop to be consumed; esp the track record of bungie setting norms to mtx's and live service gaming that has been relatively toxic for consumers over the last 10 years. Even seeing that while DEI...

    Marathon (Bungie)

    DrLupo has some solid critisms on some of the missing factors in Marathon that keeps Tarkov continuously engaging, like the level of depth per map and insane verticalities which seems to be missing.. but while it's kinda eyeroll-y at this point; he was mentioning that it seems like the devs are...

    Marathon (Bungie)

    rofl I feel in such a minority here.. I never like halo, I don't like destiny.. but I am way over-hyped for this game. Truthfully haven't been this hype for a game in awhile.. but I also love the extraction genre, played every one of them.. nothing like running up on someone and robbing their...

    Counter-Strike 2

    I've always found the spray pattern from 1.5/1.6 to be far easier than CSGO/CS2, but as kinda said earlier the control on the first 6-8 rounds is more consistent in CSGO/CS2 compared to 1.6, while 1.6 has a more consistent first shot accuracy and/or tap firing; but the overall shooting style has...

    Escape from Tarkov

    And you're going to kill someone with a 250$ version of the game, and scoff at the fact they've spent that much. It's not like some sword of a thousand truths. The monetary value gained from base game to eod; is absolutely massive.. take it from someone who has played on the base game for a...

    Escape from Tarkov

    As long as we can agree EoD was also pay2win. With the new recoil system, and how pen works now(flat values); its free shit to rob, that gear ain't the gear of old. I've had a couple of theories we've been throwing around.. ultimately tarkov will be fine, but the easiest one is Arena was a...
