Yeah, this is how I feel about it. I'd much rather it be a completely different IP, but I guess they're like, "Hey, we have this brand, let's use it to get people's attention."
Oh yeah, I think they're all long gone, at least majority. But I think it is unfortunate to see them bring the name back only for it to not resemble anything it was once connected to. Let alone an extraction shooter which still feels like the latest "hot genre" in gaming. It feels... inefficient to me.
I'm surprised! Yeah, it's just one of those situations where if you're familiar, it's probably upsetting. If you're not, then you're good, haha. Even if the name just sounds familiar.
Since when extraction shooters aren't successful? Don't just pick out two bad examples where people weren't interested because that's not what those games are normally supposed to be about, and their devs just tried to shoehorn a half-assed version of it as an extra mode. There's a bunch of games that were designed as extraction shooters and they became wildly popular and that's probably why Bungie wants to get in on that action. They're wrapping up on Destiny 2 this year so they need something else to replace it as their next live service game. And it's fine if they want to make their own extraction shooter, I'm not really interested in that genre but good for them if they want to seek success in it. But slapping Marathon name on it instead of doing it as a new IP is a cop-out and they only did it to attract some attention, so screw them.
I’m not who you were replying to but I think Hunt Showdown has been moderately successful. At least successful enough it’s still supported with new content years later. Probably not “wildly.”
See I’m on the opposite side of that. I didn’t gel with Tarkov but have put well over a thousand hours into Hunt since it was in early access.
Where was I being an asshole? Or is the mere fact that someone disagrees with you enough to trigger your fragile feelings?
As I thought.
I'm serious. Nothing that I said in that post should give you a reason to call me an asshole. Quit being so fragile.
You have no social etiquette. I've seen your posts and threads.
So you literally just listed a bunch of succesful games that either inspired or represented the genre, proving that it has a huge potential for success if done right, and you're still going to argue that it's a risky venture for a company like Bungie, who are already renowned for their efforts in the first person shooter/live service games, and are also using a recognizable classic IP to promote it?
That doesn't cover a full scope of my argument. Also stop being petty with those personal attacks.
Glad that I have an audience. That still doesn't change the fact that it's not nearly as big of a risk for them as you think. Also not a reason to be such a salty prick.
