      Installing windows 8 was quicker and more entertaining than the game intro.

      You know I dint disagree with this. Still a good game tho in all reality.
      (If you like extraction shooters, you will like Marathon. If you dont like extraction shooters, you prolly won't line marathon.)

      I mean if you muted his voice so you couldn’t hear him constantly berating you for not giving him enough money. Maybe. But that’s a very core part of the DSP experience.

    Just a bit of info, Marathon was originally written as a space invasion coop shooter back in the 90s. We the players was a cyborg security officer aboard UESC Marathon (colony ship orbiting Tau Ceti IV) tasked of defending the ship from an alien slaver race called the "Pfhor". The marathon ship also had 3 AIs, one of which named "Durandal" grew rampant and used the player (us) as a tool for him to orchestrate the invasion of the Pfhor on Marathon, which then led to the AI's freedom and journey to being a god-like entity in the Marathon trilogy games.

      @LeaderOfTheLostSouls Marathon as a new game will kill the entire franchise. wrong timing while other IP's are dying. During a time when Highguard and Concord and Suicide Squad as live service games have perished fast...this was a dumb call. RIP Bungie.

      @FriendlyGoodHappy ​ For a guy who hates game-play like RE games due to ammo conservation/rationing and the stress from being forced to solve puzzles while reading in a survival setting all rolled into a single game, he's doing surprisingly well, narrowly avoiding death around every corner, one accidental death and the second on purpose to reset his supply use.

    • @Heywood_Jablomey97
      @Heywood_Jablomey97 Month ago +3

      ​@wickian9571its a bungie game, lore is going to be very heavy and the fact that its an extraction shooter where loot is actually more of an afterthought, the story and world building needs to be at least this level.
      The art style is different but not terrible, the gunplay is bungie so obviously fire and the lore may not be for everyone but personally I love it.
      Also, a lot of people are playing this a lot differently than it should be. You should be chasing the objectives and just trying to get out with a couple things, not loading up balls to the wall.

    I'd say one of my biggest pet peeves in gaming is video games that start by just throwing you into a gameplay scenario without letting you reach a main menu and access basic performance settings/features. My PC always defaults to terrible settings and runs like shit, so when it thrusts me in to some "epic" moment the devs clearly want to be your first experience, it always runs like ass and completely ruins the experience for me and winds up just pissing me off. For the love of god devs, quit huffing your own farts, you're not being edgy or clever by doing this, just be a normal game and pop up a main menu like a normal fucking video game.

    @JackieGC Month ago +15

    1:18:45 I do respect Asmon saying to watch people who are better at the game than he is before deciding whether or not they should get it because anyone can make a game look bad. I'll be honest, he really does not make games look appealing to buy.
    Needless to say though, the game does look boring and extraction shooters are just not appealing to me at all.

    • @demetter7936
      @demetter7936 Month ago +2

      The game is very positive on steam. I found it really weird how Asmon's conclusion was every player was struggling like him, when that's a massive assumption he has no evidence of, and it seems to be simply untrue based on reviews.

    I love Asmon, I’ve been having a great time playing Marathon though. I didn’t really figure he’d like this one since he’s not the best at shooters. That being said, really looking forward to watching him play RE9 and other solo games. I feel that’s where he’s at his best

    • @mandowarrior123
      @mandowarrior123 Month ago

      I don't think he ever played them enough to get good, he doesn't enjoy them. Personally I haven't touched them since I played a pro tournament and realised I REALLY don't get anything out of adrenaline. We won the matches I was in rotation but the cold sweat and shakes after put me right off. I don't think I'd be above average if I picked up CS:S today. Maybe not even that. I'm sure after 6 weeks 80%'d come back bar reaction time but I had a few thousand hours in.
      Nevertheless, he was wow only so he tries. He might take to one if it was good, he liked halo so there was a possibility.

    • @threedog27
      @threedog27 27 days ago

      Extraction shooters are only about how you view your runs. Sure they can be frustrating.
      Your sentence sums up my entire tarkov playtime.
      But Marathon feels a bit different. I view it more like a pvp game with extra steps. Your base weapons are strong enough to shred everyone. Also even a gold shield only gives you maybe a second more time to react. Sure in a plain 1v1 a gold shield beats a grey one. But thats not how to approach fights. You flank, you set up and you make decisions. Since it not hatdcore movement or hardcore aim, other things are more important. And thats why even dying isnt that frustrating. Atleast for me.

    People are trying to force the concord, highguard narrative over this game like its insane. Just alone all those questions from chat at the end.
    Cant people for once just play the game for themself and decide then? And why actively hate a game? I feel like 80% of criticism stems from people who havent even tried it.

  • @wiegraffolles9822
    @wiegraffolles9822 Month ago +7

    Let's remember Asmon had a hard time with Arc and it wasn't for him. It's niche just like Tarkov. Rocket league is a competitive game but not a hardcore game. This is meant for specific kinds of players just like Tarkov and that's ok.

    • @BugsinaBagLunch
      @BugsinaBagLunch Month ago +2

      Asmon has never played GTA one time and just now played RE for the first time ever.
      Asmon is not a gamer, so him not liking games is right on course for him.
      His obsession with gatekeeping and being a key member of ANY community that will have him is very important to him.
      And if he can fight the fake 'woke mob games', furthering his positions in the culture war, AND play his stupid fans for views with easy game hate content; then you know his greasy ass is gonna do it lolol.

    • @sznikers
      @sznikers Month ago +2

      If its niche style for specific players then what's the point of trying to AAA it to mainstream, sounds like recipe for failure? Or viability of another multiplayer title competing in niche that's already occupied?

    • @BugsinaBagLunch

    • @wiegraffolles9822
      @wiegraffolles9822 Month ago +1

      @sznikers Yes, you’re right. It’s a recipe for failure if they’re trying to have mass appeal and make as much money as possible, especially for an extraction shooter. I’m only speaking about it as a game that can succeed in its niche, like Tarkov. Even Arc, as successful as it’s been, is super niche in the gaming space.
      To put it in perspective, extraction shooters have fewer players than MMORPGs, and that’s already pretty niche. More people watch extraction shooters than play them, but that doesn’t mean the games aren’t worth making for the people who want to play them, as we’ve clearly seen.

    • @demetter7936
      @demetter7936 Month ago +2

      Exactly what I'm thinking as well. I like Asmongold for everything else other than his game reviews. I hate how he assumes everyone else is struggling in his conclusion at the end, but that's simply not the case based on reviews and other people playing it. It's a game he just isn't into like Arc but he thinks he's the arbiter of good and bad video games.

      And its direct competition is Arc Raiders is peeking at over 200k every day. You also have to include the inevitable fall off too. If they follow the same trend of Arc raiders it will be half its player base. 44k is a good player base, but we will have to see how Marathon keeps the players over the next year.
