Can't really say much more than this old-man-yells-at-cloud griping. ...well, maybe one more thing.

"Live Service" OR, "how gaming is going to freaking EAT each other".

I've said it before, and I'm going to say it again; "There is only so much time in a day to play a game. Now - everything is...!ONLINE! here & !ALWAYS ON! there." You can't play them all. It's just not possible. "Live games" command too much time of the player to play anything else.

Where does it break? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Even IF we all stay in house, even if you could play Destiny & Marathon: Durandals Live Extravaganza Jamboree, would y'all? It's just... ugh.

"Stable Rampancy", indeed.

...Shit... I'm doing it. I'm going to go outside.

But even if it was a normal non artistically compromised game, I'm just really curious how Marathon could be anything but in name only given the advancement of FPS games. Honestly, pretty much everything about the Marathon experience just would not fly today. This isn't a jab at it, it's just that everything is a product of its time and the then current tech. Curious how it will all update and translate into modernity (aside from the games as service, free to play bullshit).

12 years 2 kids, 40 lbs and a whole bunch of aches and pains later :p. I hit 40 in about 6 weeks. Weee.

40! [This is where I'm supposed to say you're a baby, but you're not.]

It's all relative. Just be sure to enjoy every sandwich, as Mr. Zevon said.

Hey! I bought this 15 years ago because of that interview!

I loved the guy. His music, too.

Pretty sure he still holds the record as the only famous musician to use 'brucellosis' in a rock song.

Okay, yes we are. But shit, I don't want to be old. :(

It's better than the alternative...

Even as someone who loves Destiny still, this is disappointing. This is what Bungie does now. The days of good Bungie single player shooters are well and truly dead.

- project started in partnership with NetEase
- very Tarkov-like
- big focus on "no load times, very minimal queue times"
- likely free-to-play live service
- highly customizable character
- authentic Bungie FPS experience

I hate everything about this. Trying really hard not to judge until it's fully realized, but this sounds awful.

This doesn't sound sound so much a Marathon revival as a new game with a Marathon badge to generate buzz.

We shall see.

Given the age of marathon it's an interesting question of what that constitutes? For me I think the feeling of mystery, the story, the exploration are kind of the key to marathon to me. I have a feeling that list is going to vary widely person to person.

Also: If Bungie wanted some Juice I'm not sure if Marathon helps *that much* I'm sure there's a bunch of us olds who fondly remember it, but the bungie name itself probably does more than the name marathon at this point.

Now I want them to make a Sims game based around the life of BoBs. Slap a Marathon Skin on everything and build a forever home in a carved-out asteroid while fending off the occasional Pfhor attack. Oops I accidentally married a Simulacrum.

Sure would be a hell of a reception!

Realistically, I've been a grumpy old man since my mid 20s.

This is the correct way to inhabit the world.
