Honestly if Arc Raiders didn't exist Sony's new Marathon game would have the same chokehold on the Tarkov audience. They must be so mad they didn't release it sooner. They didn't spend all this money to be the #2 game in the genre lol

    @dielan I disagree, marathon is a bad game that looks like calarts vomit and if it existed before arc raiders, arc raiders would have killed it

    @dielan they playtested marathon with tarkov streamers (deragatory) like a year now and none like that version

    @s8n@posting.lolicon.rocks you're probably right, but some people are stubborn and if they got attached to Marathon first they might not have given Arc Raiders a shot is what I'm thinking. There's also a lot of word-of-mouth both games depend on. If I'm going to play either of these games, it'll be the one my friends are already playing (so never Marathon)

    @s8n@posting.lolicon.rocks huge missed opportunity in making the player characters ugly. They should have leaned into it

    @RustyCrab@clubcyberia.co event if you git gud at Marathon they're just going to reset you when the next season starts. There's no permanent progression if I'm reading this right. @s8n@posting.lolicon.rocks

    @s8n@posting.lolicon.rocks I haven't played very many extraction shooters but I'm not really sure this is the kind of game that should have wipes like that @RustyCrab@clubcyberia.co

    @RustyCrab@clubcyberia.co maybe the menu was fine before but they rushed to make it all ugly after this happened --> https://x.com/4nt1r34l/status/1923067988871147605?s=20 among other "fixes" @s8n@posting.lolicon.rocks
