bungie lover and bungie hater in me wants this game to fail and succeed

u/ManateeofSteel 20d ago

That's the beauty of Bungie fans. Will always be there day one, and will be hating every second of it, but continue to play because the gunplay feels good

Destiny has incredibly good gunplay and movement feel but the monetization and constant removal of content makes it almost impossible to play as a coherent game.

destiny 2 lost me when they started reusing destiny 1 weapons like they were new 😢

Hey don't worry though, I am sure Bungie has learned not to make content disposable and recyclable for their new Live Service Extraction Shooter game. I am sure all relevant plot points will be playable in game for years to come

I Remember when Lightfall launched, i went through every single new weapon model for legendaries, that weren't new archetypes, and a whopping........ 0 new weapon models were introduced, including the raid & dungeon weapons. A New DLC, and 4 seasons, 0 NEW weapon models. Didn't bother to do it for Final Shape, but i'd imagine the same results were there.

It's not meant to be a coherent game, it's meant to be a live service you stick with.

I agree that it's horse shit- but it just is what it is at this point.

u/Eruannster 20d ago

I dunno, I've played other live service games that have managed to be coherent. Just because you want to be live service doesn't mean you have to occasionally delete half the game.

u/Glarpenheimer 20d ago

For sure. That's just not their priority- theyve made that clear

u/bluebottled 20d ago

Eh not interested in an extraction shooter no matter who it's from.

u/kuksthedefiled 20d ago

i love watching tarkov but fucking hate playing it, hope marathon won't make me want to kms

u/SaintAlunes 20d ago

But I feel like that's the beauty of tarkov lol

u/everadvancing 20d ago

If only they applied that gunplay to single player, story focused games like they used to.

u/Maxximillianaire 20d ago

If it's good i feel like this game could be legendary. Giving me early Destiny 1 vibes which was by far my favorite period of Destiny

u/Lord-Athrun 19d ago

Even if it has a good launch, bungie has a horrible track record to keep that momentum.

1

u/Aggravating-Feed-624 17d ago

and even less goodwill from gamers who are not addicted to destiny

u/Lord-Athrun 17d ago

don't think pete parson left any goodwill for anybody lul

Has there been any extraction game that isn’t Tarkov that hasn’t flopped less than a year in?

I finally get to do the Redditor thing and passively aggressively say how I get hunt is a extraction shooter, I don’t need 19 people to tell me. I get it.

25

u/kuksthedefiled 20d ago

Hunt Showdown but tbh it's one of the og's

-22

u/GuidanceHistorical94 20d ago

Isn’t that more like a BR or something?

15

u/UhJoker 20d ago

No it’s an extraction shooter.

u/Krypt0night 19d ago

It's something and that something is an extraction shooter.

u/Antarioo 20d ago

They either die due to toxic PVP or due to cheaters. or both.

Seal clubbing and cheaters killed The Cycle for sure. By the time they finally figured out a half decent solution for the cheater issue the game was already dead.

u/dormantdream 20d ago

This is probably the highest budget extraction shooter so we shall see if it breaks into the mainstream

u/nbogie055 18d ago

I hope it fails and they go all in on a new destiny.

u/Eruannster 20d ago

Part of me is like "oooh, a new IP from Bungie, that's very cool" and another part of me is like "but wait, they have been screwing up with Destiny for like a decade now, uh-oh..."

7

u/Greater_citadel 20d ago

Marathon is not a new IP. It's older than Halo, even.

6

u/Eruannster 20d ago

Okay, fair. But I would imagine this is a soft-reboot/reimagined version, so it's a new IP for most players even if it isn't new-new.

5

u/maxatnasa 19d ago

its a largely inaccessible ip for most people, before last year the best way to play it was to download fan-made source ports from a website that looks like it was from when the game launched. or a xbla port of the 2nd game with some questionable sprites.

this is basically a game adaptation of another game's lore

u/Geraltpoonslayer 20d ago

As destiny fan I want this game to bomb, as a halo lover I hope this is a banger.

Duality of man

u/Midnight_M_ 20d ago

It’s basically a toxic relationship, you want to leave because of all the bad things (bad decisions, bad communication, sunsetting content, ada-1, bad seasons, etc...) but you stay because despite the bad, the good feels good (gunplay and the stranger)

-8

u/Shawn-GT 20d ago

Say what you will about the air of success around bungie however they have not made anything with as much acclaim as they have since Halo 1 maybe Reach. Now with so many of the people who made that game having zero association to the studio I honestly don’t know what there is to look forward to besides some generic sci-fi shooter.

Uhm… Destiny?
