@masonhall6687 because you can literally play as any kind of character that you want to be and it's open world with each and every situation having its own set of circumstances and choices and outcomes. It's not an RPG in the same sense as a game like Skyrim or elden ring, I'm not saying that. But you play it however you want to play it. The actual quests themselves don't have the typical RPG elements to them but, I'm mainly speaking on the freedom to play this game in any kind of way that you would like to. You can be a nice friendly raider, an ultra aggressive pvp player, a rat type player, a cockroach kind of player or whatever play style suits you best. That's why I gave it an RPG comparison.
That would be the definition of an extraction shooter. Minimal rpg elements, but also not the survival extraction level of the current survival extractions on the market. Absolutely a great game and has all the fun parts of a fps with 3rd person view and extraction added in.
Pro Tip: once you open a door on the 2 door Spaceport key room you can open the door from the inside, I always do this and leave them both open then trap the top of the zip line, nobody coming up it at that point has good intentions
Loochy, love your content and style and it saddens me that you need to go into this so much. I’ve done the same as you did, gave it a shot and the art style is just not for me and the gameplay isn’t something I have experienced before to make it outstanding. I am roughly your age and while gaming is not my job, it’s my free time and if I have to force myself through something to „grow on me“… by a AAA dev? Nah. Still love ARC, every run turns out an adventure and the tuned ARC are a challenge.
I think one of the great successes of ARC Riders is that the developers didn’t take the game too seriously. In other words, even though it tries to be an “extraction shooter” that could be competitive, allowing all those friendly/fun interactions has brought it closer to many people who would never have thought we’d play a game of this kind
Bungie hasn’t publicly confirmed the budget, but most industry estimates put Marathon at around $200M-$250M total. Rough breakdown people cite: Development: ~$150M-$180M Marketing: ~$40M-$60M Live-service / infrastructure: ~$20M-$30M Reasons for that estimate: • 300+ developers • 4+ years of development • Comparable Sony live-service games reportedly costing $200M+ So while there’s no official number, $200M-$250M is the most widely accepted estimate.
@35:20 - Looch there are a ton of country classics that could be in a top 5: Neon Moon The Grand Tour The Dance He Stopped Loving Her Today Don't Close Your Eyes Little Short of Little Rock I Never Go Around Mirrors Paint Me a Birmingham Too Cold At Home Mama Tried .....list is endless.
53:55 Stitcher 4 and triggers…. It’s almost like he’s been watching you and got inspired by Loochy, the King of Rats 😂 If ever there was a rat that I loved though, it’s definitely you Loochy 😉
Marathon is a totally different thing from arc and that's okay, also means that they are not in competition with each other because they are not comparable, same with tarkov.
I feel the same way but about Arc :P I can't get passed the dingy, post apocalyptic aesthetic. Feels like half a dozen other games, I don't like that all the cosmetics are hockey pads and random goofy stuff, and the loot rooster? Not for me. But hey, at the end of the day both games are good.
1:57:15 I wish I could do that but when the lady bugs come it’s ww3 for me and I will demolish every one of them. Other bugs idc about but lady bugs and stink bugs nope.
Marathon art style is a huge problem for me, too. I also don't like the whole 'shell/runner' part of the lore. As a huge fan of the original Marathon, which I played on my Mac back when the original Marathon was released, I don't like the direction they went with the story or lack of a story. Bungie screws up yet another good IP.
I done the slam. I thought the visuals were shit, sorry, but I did. The game was confusing and the ai was overpowered. But... I tried to give it the benefit of the doubt, maybe it would get better as I played, like Arc Raiders. All the grinding I did on the slam didn't carry over to the game and I honestly just couldn't play that trash anymore. They ruined Destiny with that pay2play trap. Halo, in my opinion, is their best route. If Marathon had been a revamp to Halo with similarities to old and new game mechanics, you may have fared better. But as it stands... I'll never purchase another game made by Bunjie...
One thing I think embark could do is make private servers that you could rent and set up certain rules like in battlefield 2042. IDK though, it might could ruin the game potentially. What do y'all think?
I haven't even played marathon but I'll tell you man this game to me looks like a knock off apex legends. So that's not good that Im seeing that at all. That means that to me apex legends is better than marathon. So how can marathon ever beat out arc raiders. Ain't no way arc raiders is completely unique. There is no game like it. Sorry truth hurts sometimes guys
If play arc raiders dont come over to marathon trust u will get trashed the game isnt meant for you elementary gamers u actually have to have skill to play marathon i seen you tubers getting killed left and right thinking they arc raiders skills work on marathon go get good first 😂😂😂😂😂
@VaDirtfishing cap u trash bro every one saying this is just terrible at the game u dont even got marathon u played the server slam and game feels nothing like that at launch
I would call arc Raiders an RPG sandbox shooter. It's kind of its own game, and I love it
how is this RPG??

The amount of butthurt during the marathon conversation was on another level 😂😂😂😂😂
As a Fable lover I still expect you to say the Bowerstone's Town Crier callout "WAKEY WAKEY! IT'S DAAAAAAY BREAKY!"

That red dot sight is so old. I'm also old 😂😂 I like Arc a lot because it's different, I haven't played anything like it and the sound is amazing 😊

Don’t forgot the banger of a soundtrack for Arc
I think Marathon is more Infinite Warfare than an extraction shooter.
Bungie hasn’t publicly confirmed the budget, but most industry estimates put Marathon at around $200M-$250M total.
Rough breakdown people cite:
Development: ~$150M-$180M
Marketing: ~$40M-$60M
Live-service / infrastructure: ~$20M-$30M
Reasons for that estimate:
• 300+ developers
• 4+ years of development
• Comparable Sony live-service games reportedly costing $200M+
So while there’s no official number, $200M-$250M is the most widely accepted estimate.
Lets goooo Loochy.
Every one of your videos is interesting in the game, congratulations
The color scheme on marathon made it doa..
🤘
@35:20 - Looch there are a ton of country classics that could be in a top 5:
Neon Moon

The Dance
He Stopped Loving Her Today
Don't Close Your Eyes
Little Short of Little Rock
I Never Go Around Mirrors
Paint Me a Birmingham
Too Cold At Home
Mama Tried
.....list is endless.

I never understood why people waste so much on shoes lmao, BUT like you said ~ I respect it.
Don't care for it but i can respect it lol

MELVIN IS YOUR SON
If you could create a game. What would it be as in what genre and what type of game would it be?
Has to be online based with multiplayer servers.
I feel the same way but about Arc :P I can't get passed the dingy, post apocalyptic aesthetic. Feels like half a dozen other games, I don't like that all the cosmetics are hockey pads and random goofy stuff, and the loot rooster? Not for me. But hey, at the end of the day both games are good.

The younger generation thinks people are hating on something just because people have different opinions 😂 there is a complete disconnect

Playstation bought bungie for billions, so... they got a long road ahead of them.
I LOVE MARATHON

As somebody who has played it, its actually fun. Its not really copying any other game. Ypure gonna have to play it if you want an accurate assesment.
Wtf. Talking about a Rat load out when you started the fight is so fucking lame. Unsub. Damn, pretty weak dude
Talking about being weak but being offended to the fact you need to disclosed you unsubscribed. Go cry about it you damn baby
No

@VaDirtfishing cap u trash bro every one saying this is just terrible at the game u dont even got marathon u played the server slam and game feels nothing like that at launch
