If it’s fun I don’t care. I’m just glad both digital extremes, Bethesda and bungee are making new games while the rest of the AAA gaming space now takes on average a decade to finish a major title

I want to know the reasoning behind this. Usually you take old dead IPs and "reimagine" them because the name recognition can boost sales, but how many people know about the Apple exclusive sci-fi shooter from the 90s that "the Halo/Destiny guys" made before Halo/Destiny beyond people who are already deep into video games?

It really sucks it won't have a singleplayer campaign. Still, I like the aesthetic in this one, it kinda reminds me of the second game.

DON'T CALL IT A MAZE
IT IS THE PATH THAT YOU CHOSE

More seriously though, it'll probably be a prospective airing of the title to garner public interest in it, since Bungie is more widely known for their MP stuff now. We'll probably see Marathon SP stuff in the future.

>watch MandaloreGaming's reviews of Marathon games
>and Pathways into Darkness
>Halo is mentioned, themes are repeated throughout the games
>comments are baffled by how similar it is to Destiny games
Are these the game version of someone's Time Cube-tier worldview?

To be fair, if they did something like Doom 2019 or the new Wolfenstein games, then it's just going to end up being similar and compared to Halo, specifically Bungie's Halo games.

Personally I think they should have just called it something else even if it's set in the Marathon universe, I know they've stuck with the name Marathon because
>the players are called "Runners" hahahagedit?
But it's not a sequel or even really a reimagining of the previous games and the UESC Marathon doesn't look like it's going to appear, there must be so many names they could have come up with to link it to the Marathon universe that people who know will know, while not begging one-to-one comparisons with the old series.

Extraction shooter is the new battle royale is the new survival crafter. Thanks to the Arma 2 zombie mods for starting this cancer.

Honestly maybe we're just the ones with the issue. I rarely play multiplayer because keeping a friend group active is too much effort for me. But maybe we're the weird ones for just wanting to play single player.

Let them cook tbh.

Problem isn’t even playing multiplayer games, gaming with friends is always a boon to my fun, but most looter-survival-extraction-shooters depend on that fun boost with friends to be barely playable, as the gameplay is repetitive and competitive play is encouraged. Playing solo, you’re at a disadvantage from the get-go, and it also gets boring quickly, cos without the chatting with friends as distraction you realize the looter shooter gameplay cycle is a total sham, the illusion collapses.

Singleplayer games are much better in that regard.
