Fair enough.
I do think it's just a matter of getting to grips with the game and familiarizing yourself with its design/visual language. But they could have definitely made some improvements with the item/loadout stuff I agree.

Hah me and a buddy are eagerly awaiting Hunger as well lol. We want something to scratch that Hunt itch.
We have thousands of hours in Hunt but still get lost in this supposed 'new and updated' UI they put out recently.

Ah yeah, another buddy of mine is ALL about Hunt too and I've heard him say the same things, lol. I hopped back in recently and I was like, I mean, it looks different, but not really? Lmao. It's a shame because that game deserves more attention, I know it's still pretty successful, but I'd love for it to get more and more.Hah me and a buddy are eagerly awaiting Hunger as well lol.

Just said that elsewhere, nothing about this game calls me to come sink in hundreds of hours. Most games with depth I am ready to put whatever into it.. This game looks like work nobody I've watched seems to be having fun they are more happy to get a run over with instead of like genuinely having fun.

I checked the usual streamers and:
Tim likes it and is having fun
Nickmercs
Ninja
Shroud
For what it's worth the only one I saw a post that doesn't like it is DrD but lol who cares on his opinion about anything one way or another?
I don't put stock in any of those guys either but my time with the game is fun and I'm itching to play today.

Yea that's cool, I'm sure it'll have its base of players ultimately. I was just hoping that watching would draw me in but it sorta did the opposite, but I'll still try it and see for myself I don't like to judge until I at least give it a hands on

That shouldn't be a concern, per Destiny1/2. Bungie has had massive swings with NPC enemies in Destiny, they will edit it if needed.

It's the bit I'm struggling with.
It's combining the macabre style of the Final Shape with a blocky, retro futuristic, over saturated gaudiness.
It's *cool*. There's a lot of style to it.
It's just not inviting.

Tim mentioned the stream was sponsored so I don't think he was ever going to be critical about the game lol

What's everyone GPU/CPU utilization?
7800x3d/5090 here
CPU is almost maxed out and GPU only like 60% or so.
Game seems crazy CPU heavy

I'll also say I think Destiny and this are both dull as shit to watch but great in hand. Not sure what it is.

What did you think about the UI? I just looked at it and got tired.
I kind of like the gunplay, but that goes for many shooters. The messy look of all loot (all looks like cyber-milk cartons and space-cigarette packs) and the ui look is really not working for me.

I'm thinking to try it on PS5 tomorrow too.
There's so many issues on the bungie support forum and they do reply saying they're looking into it but yeah might take a while... mine seems to be related to battleye anti-cheat
Played two matches - glad I did because I now know what this is
Will never, ever, try this again
Positives
Negatives
Will never, ever, try this again
Positives
- Polished and a uniqe artstyle
- Good feeling gunplay
Negatives
- Boring - frankly I cant believe this is what is supposed to be fun? A battle royale with even more opening of chests
- Technically ugly. Looks 10 years old. Ugly screen space reflections
- Non-interactive. World is totally static
- No vechicles etc. Just standard first person gameplay - more basic that Halo 1 since it does not really seem to have any real physics

Anyone else can't see reddit embeds? It just has the Reddit logo on the top right and an empty space, can't tap on anything either

Not surprised to read this, the trailers made it look like they just took the already dated Destiny 2 engine and just used that to make the game without upgrading it.

I only ever got into the game proper after rebooting my PC, at which point I got a server error, back to the start screen, and then a code potato crash again

I don't think the UI, in terms of layout, is *too* bad. It could certainly be better.What did you think about the UI? I just looked at it and got tired.

Again, it's the colours. There's too many distractions on your eyes. It's too busy.

Bungie is going to make a Tetris game and this guy will hate it because it's a BR with no vehicles and no world interaction.

Server slam gonna server slam. They even mentioned there potentially being server crashes, errors, bugs, etc. Pretty standard.Well, I tried, "servers are not available"
This kind of thing happening isn't too uncommon. On a previous online title I worked on we had similar issues and people also thought they found something creative, but they didn't. Chat filter tools can be really stupid, lol.

Do you not know what a "server slam" is or are you just trying to jump on the hate bandwagon?

I just went ahead and uninstalled. I'm not feeling this at all. Ugly UI. Same bungie gunplay. Forgettable gameplay. I'm good on this.

Is there a new Nvidia driver out for this Marathon beta?
GeForce Game Ready 595.59 WHQL driver??
But when I open my nvidia app or manually search for the latest drivers for my 5090 the last one is last month, in January.

I'm confused on how the health/shield system works. I keep hitting 4 to inject myself but my bars aren't going all the way up.

How so? I played in October and they where harsh as fuck. If found them worse if anything so far.

Standard shield rechargers will fill one bar over time after you use it. if you have white shields one will do the trick. Health packs refill a certain amount over time depending on which ones you use.

When I came to that screen I almost hit alt-F4. I just got TIRED.

What time is it?
The art style feels incoherent and more often than not unappealing. During the tutorial, I walked through some industrial rubber curtains which moved as I pass through so I promptly swung my knife at them and they don't react at all which is something Splinter Cell did on the OG Xbox. And speaking of the tutorial, I don't think it does a good job of teaching you. I've never played an extraction shooter so maybe that's the problem. Run around and open 10,000 boxes, kill computer controlled patrolling sentries (and maybe humans), and extract?
