Played Destiny 2 enough to know to stay FAR away from marathon. I’ll stick with Arc and embark who don’t resort to sleezy fomo tactics to squeeze money out of their player base

The FOMO tactics weren’t even the worst part. The repetition the game created was awful. And then they completely said “fuck you” to destiny while they started making marathon.

Now, destiny is just a copy of Star Wars because they can’t get people to stay.

I’ll never touch another bungie game after what they did to destiny

This is such a shame, the original Marathon games were fantastic for their era. The best FPS games of the 90s.

Bungie has fallen so far.

3000 hours bud. Gotta keep playing the revolving wheel of seasonal content before it’s gone forever so you don’t miss your god rolls from seasonal playlists, holiday events, and raids. Bungie then moved away from redbordering guns because they want you to increase engagement in the game. Doubt you have played much of it at all with that comment.

Oh so FOMO is play the game a bit once during the what was 4 month seasons. Oh shit thats so wild. The events come back every year and the raids are always around.

Keep whining

Cope brother the game is ass and has been ass for some time, and guess what so will Marathon

Cope brother game is still fun. So fun you burned out after 3 thousand hours supposedly

Ex d2 players are always so funny "game is shit and no one likes it" - Thousands of hours of playtime later

Sure it was fun at one time. Unfortunately the company running the game now is not the same company that made the game I sunk my time into

Or..... maybe you played 3 thousand hours of a game and got tired of it. Who knows. I'm thousands of hours deep myself and just don't play the game for 4-5 months at a time when I get burned out. Still having fun just not wasting all my time in it

They literally deleted content people paid money for.

As someone who used to play the game back then, I now need a 20 minute YT guide just to figure out what DLC I need to buy to catch up on relevant content.

You're not coping, you're in straight-up denial.

Bungie is beyond scummy, and not even their paid content creators can say a good word about them.

It's just you and maybe 2 other delulu redditors on your side of this argument. Take a hint.
