Looking forward to seeing what Bungie has in store with Marathon. Even though I haven't played Destiny in 4 years, I haven't missed a Bungie game since the first Myth in 1997, and I ain't planning on breaking that.

Now that I've gotten to play the original Marathon trilogy over the past year, I'm actually excited to see all the easter eggs that reference the original lore.

Bungie's reputation is legitimately the only reason I bought Destiny at launch lol. I don't think I've ever bought a multiplayer based game after that, not including sports games like College Football 25 or NBA 2K.

I've tried other new multiplayer games this gen, like The Finals and Helldivers 2, but I couldn't stick with them for long. But I easily got dozens of hours in Destiny before any of the DLC came out. I'm excited to see what Marathon is all about even if its PvP. 

The one thing I can confidently say about Bungie is that they've never made an un-fun game lol. Destiny's story was incredibly "meh" until the Taken King expansion, but the gameplay loop was undeniably fun! Grinded the hell out of raids, and even moreso when they added titles in Destiny 2 the stories were always up/down/up/down throughout the entirety of Destiny's history, but the gameplay loop, Bungie never missed.

And I anticipate that will continue with Marathon. One of the good things about Extraction Shooters, if you're not a big PvP player, are that they are PvPvE based. So while you are competing against other players, there's also NPC's for you to worry about. So if you're with a group of friends, y'all can split up duties where you can focus on the objectives while your teammates focus on other players and NPCs.

It's certainly a big risk as it's still a pretty niche genre overall, but Bungie is very good at making something fun. It is the studio that sold us on taking the core concept of World of Warcraft and turning it into a First-Person Shooter after all lol.

Bungie is really throwing in the kitchen sink when it comes to stability of the game. Not even Destiny has had dedicated servers, disconnect recovery, or especially a dedicated security team LOL
