games

Maybe I'm just old and busy but I simply cannot imagine what the appeal of this kind of game model is.

Pay to get in the door. Game is incredibly sparse at first, maybe more content happens later, probably for more money. Have to have two other people do it too. Need to all be reliably free to play at the same time. But also that can't be when it suits the three of you because everything is season based, with a gameplay design based on snowballing loot / abilities that makes it more difficult for anyone but the hardcore to get into it or succeed as the season goes on, in a genre that's already incredibly hostile to anyone by hardcore players who put in hundreds of hours or stream for a living, chock full of timed battlepasses to further compound the issue, that stops the snowball from getting so bad that the game would loose all its players by just basically resetting everything at the end of the season and wiping what little you have managed to unlock, meaning you have to start the cycle all over again at the start of the next season to stand a chance.

The amount of money, time, effort, and working around their schedule you're being asked to do for a game like this is worse than joining an MLM scheme.

Extraction shooters is something i did once, enjoyed the experience once, never went back to. And i only did it because tarkov appealed to me specifically just cos of its style just tickles me for some reason. Unless people are looking to jump ship to another extraction shooter I feel like this will flop hard. Running on the IP of marathon is odd cos its really not well known

"Our definition is that you better open your wallets and give us a lotta money for this." Actually $40 doesn't seem so bad.

I'm not into the pvp escape from tarkov thing. I've tried it, it's just not for me even a little. It doesn't really make sense to make this a pay to play game - I don't think people who like fps games wanna pay for them when they have a lot on offer for free, I don't think extraction shooter people wanna pay for this, people who like Marathon probably have long moved on to different single player games and if you want a sci fi head trip game - I doubt an extraction shooter is the way to explore that.

It feels like they wanna double dip, get the people who are willing to pay for it then a year later or whatever let it go free to play before it inevitably collapses due to no interest.

To be fair, I wouldn't want to play this even if it were free

Is this new game even connected at all to the original Marathon?

This could have had a shot if it was Free2play. Sadly for the devs I doubt it will workout as a paid title. Even at 40$. Hope Im wrong for the devs sake.... I do like the way it looks.

Any girls on here with this vibe or look please contact me.
