Anyone playing Marathon?

I missed the server slam bc I was on the road traveling. This looks like a neon disco diarrhea strobe light shooter. No single player. Just get online and kill.

I think Bungie might have gone full retard on this one. The intro trailer movies are pretty cool, too bad they don't look anything like the actual game.

I've heard that the cinematics were outsourced to a completely different VFX company.

But no, I have no interest in online shooters, especially ones catering to antifa aesthetics.

antifa aesthetics.

Wait... what are antifa asthetics. So many people in the US confuse what Antifa is... If you mean the actual meaning... Anti Facist... Uhh I support that. If you mean what the right wing is trying to portray them as being... (the facists) then I agree with you.

I mean literally Indiana Jones was Antifa.

I don't mean anti-fascist. Antifa is not equal to anti fascist. Antifa is a loosely organized global movement, that claims to be anti-fascist but really is just a bunch of thugs and bullies who like to hurt people who have different views than them. Which ironically makes them more fascistic than the people they attack. As for the aesthetic, I mean this is one of the infamous antifa centers:

Don't tell me it doesn't feel similar to marathon's graphics design.

Huh that building could be a makeup store in Cyberpunk no problem.

This game is shaping up to be yet another big budget financial failure. They put 100s of millions into ads, marketing, and development. Already dropped from the peak players of less than 90K over a weekend, a terrible sign. Probably some refunds in there. Estimates are that is only a million copies or so sold. It has a long way to go to break even, and I don't think it gets there. I saw gameplay, it seems fun enough except for the menu system being so intense. Lore accurate would be fine if it did not interfere with the learning curve or flow of the game. Seems a bit overwhelming from the outside looking in.

Meanwhile, Slay the Spire 2 has a ten person team and a 575K player peak. It's a GD money printer.
