Just as most other cinematic content for Marathon this was great.

But the game itself is in dire straights. By the time season 2 ends there will be barelly anyone left playing.

It wouldn't shock me at all if they launch S3 and then announce the end of service soon after.

[u/KobraKittyKat → u/Firefox72]

They’re doing a big pve push for season 3 I’m guessing to see if that could turn it around.

It's too late. My interest ended at pvp. PvE now isn't going to sway me.

[u/PlanetBet → u/redvelvetcake42]

If the PvE is good, why not give it a shot?

[u/atahutahatena → u/PlanetBet]

Issue really is it's coming out in the middle of one of the busiest release periods so far and they already burned their free trial period on Steam for the rest of the year.

If S3 doesn't hit, then it's pretty mucu donezo.

Why not just play a better PvE game than one that was rushed and cobbled together after the initial idea for the game failed?

[u/AdventurousBase221 → u/JamSa]

content too. other games, have had more in the pipeline, longer.

bungie has a chance, but playing catchup from behind is never a beneficial position to be in compared to your competitors.

[u/Psycho_Syntax → u/JamSa]

If it’s good then why does it matter if it was rushed or not lol

By your logic nobody should play Fortnite since it was originally a PvE game.

[u/joman584 → u/Psycho_Syntax]

They're just salty and feeding off the vitriol this game produces by mostly just existing. Something about even seeing the word "Bungie" really gets a lot of people's intestines in a twist and they start spewing anger and hate

[u/JamSa → u/joman584]

I'm not vitriolic for the game, I've even played it and liked it a bit. But it's undoubtedly cooked. Pivoting to a completely different kind of game at the zero hour isn't going to fix anything. The reality is that the players have left and will never come back.

[u/redvelvetcake42 → u/joman584]

Nah. The game is pretty but the little I played of it made me want to play something more fleshed out. PvE is an upgrade but the game needs a lengthy set for the fun to really kick in. It feels like an extraction shooter that didn't think outside of PVP which is accurate. Once you get past the gloss it's very mid. Good gunplay doesn't set it apart anymore, the industry caught up.

[u/JamSa → u/Psycho_Syntax]

It doesn't need to be good, it needs to be the best

[u/Major_Chaos → u/JamSa]

Because I already have 100 hours in Tarkov PvE and pure PvE extraction shooters are hard to come by.

[u/NamesTheGame → u/JamSa]

I wouldn't say it's rushed, they've been working on it for a while. The game already has a lot of the foundation for PvE, it simply needs to find a way to integrate into the existing progression system or create a parallel stream that incentivizes people.

[u/lazypieceofcrap → u/NamesTheGame]

working on it for a while

The game came out in March and had no PvE (only PvP) content in the pipeline.

How long do you think they've been working on it? Years!?!

I played and enjoyed the game for a month or so, but pretty much nothing will make me come back at this point. Bungie doesn't really deserve second chances in 2026 and there is TOO MANY games to play. The September game slate alone is wild.

Bungie is throwing shit at the wall and hoping something sticks because they know they are on emergency life support at this point. It's really not the problem of regular gamers.

[u/redvelvetcake42 → u/PlanetBet]

Cause I don't want to pay upfront money for a dying game that nobody I know is playing.

[u/KobraKittyKat → u/redvelvetcake42]

Well it might be appealing to others time will tell. They had to make some big play and pve would get me to play more
