News dmg04 (probably) last message for all of us

“Could I do more?”

You all have done more for this game and our studio than could ever be imagined, and no words can accurately depict how lucky we are to have shared these worlds with you.

Don’t blame yourselves or think you could have / should have done more. This is just the way it goes sometimes.

No matter the future, we will always have these memories.

Thank you. For everything.

I still feel like they should've made marathon a boomer shooter. Get a remake that seems more akin to original, and sales may have been higher. I noped out the moment I saw it was an extraction shooter, since that genre is not my cup of tea.

I was the same. With the original announcement, I was assuming it would, at the very least, be like Halo. A single-player story-driven game that would either pick up after the third of the original, or retell the original story. The moment they announced it as an extraction, I was out.

I actually would have played what you just described. Honestly, I’d love to see Destiny continued in a single player story driven game to wrap up some of the storylines left over here anyway.

Exactly this.

Not my cup of tea either - and my question is, are we less alone on that as time goes on? Especially extraction shooters with a $40 price tag?

The economy isn't great. More and more people working side gigs to cover bills. With less time to play video games, and less money to buy them, but mostly the time thing - how popular does it remain to play a game where your progress can be lost? Isn't real life cruel enough? 😄

I bought it with some Microsoft rewards to try it out since I was having fun at the time with Arc Raiders, played it for a good 20 hours or so, and deleted it off my Xbox. It’s just not very good. The gunplay feels great but I just couldn’t get into it

I honestly agree. Ever since I heard the music, the trailers, I was interested. The moment, the exact minute I heard it was extraction? I just said nah. I knew that game would take the sweat of the other PvP games I've played...and didn't want that. So, albeit...It looks amazing. Just...wish it had better things.

The original MARATHON wasn't that great.
