Dying in the most frustrating way possible in Marathon only to discover I unlocked one codex entry and going: "ah okay it was worth it, all good".

These Sekiguchi priority contracts don't mess around huh?

I will admit, when I needed 10 kills for Arachne, I went to that contract building in Parimeter with those bugs around it and just sat there.

Okay let's take some great gear into Outpost and lose it in 5 seconds

That is genuinely out of order

The House of Lords Digital & Communications Committee just published their report on AI, copyright & the creative industries, and their conclusions could not be clearer.

One thing I like about Marathon is if you play like a dog and get tilted, you can mash square super fast and queue up immediately

Spellcaster Chronicles, which launched in Early Access the same day as Marathon's server slam to less than 1,000 concurrent on Steam at peak.

Yeah that's the lawful good one.

Aye that's the question / problem. Has the presence of AAA single player PS5 games on PC for this period won over enough people to get them onto the PS5... We'll have to see! (probably not)

04.03.2026 16:16 πŸ‘ 2 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

They can have it though, for the low low price of a PS5 at $529.99 in this economy.

New God of War, new Naughty Dog game, Next Kojima game, next KOTOR, etc etc. Not saying they're right, that's the mindset though.

It was done to compete with Xbox, and now Xbox isn't looking so hot they can pull back people to their console ecosystem.

Because they love fan service, and the second half is riddled with fan service.

PERSONAL NEWS: After 13 years working as a (legendary) video producer for @eurogamer.bsky.social I have been made redundant in the recent Gamer Network cuts. I loved that job so much (probably too much) and I will miss the people and the opportunities it gave me, but I'm not ready to give up yet!

Oi bruv, I'm a very gnarly looking robot bloke. I really liked how you broke those windows.

Hey Runner, we've been contacted by dangerous anarchists. Impress them by breaking 20 windows.

I think it's less the moth itself, which in the pulled-back shot of it wings-spread looks very cool. I think it's specifically that shot of it raw-dogging a cyber worm (?) like some do Subway Meatball subs. Then hard cutting from that to little baby wigglies.

I think Marathon - in terms of its audio / visual presentation - is outstanding. Bold move to put a disgusting moth and larvae in the loading screen lol
