At least in my perception the initial reactions to Marathon are overwhelmingly bad and for Arc Raiders overwhelmingly good Im genuinely interested in what key differences these two extractor shooters bear to spark such a delta since I like to talk about game design specifics.

So what do you think in specific, like what is that much better in arc raiders to compete with established blockbusters like tarkov?

Marathon is "just another extraction shooter" is what I heard as a sentiment. So this is going off the assumption that both games do nothing new as in "been there done that"

My imperssions of Marathon:

• I see how "graphical realism" art style is a complete flop - personally as a trained media designer (elements on the map i.e. having that printer test stamp - very cliche)
• gun models and characters feel like they are not worthy of that universe
• the running shield animations dont help that either haha
• personally dislike hero shooter elements
• UI design aesthetic is very intern-level and execution often questionable (visual weighting off, uninteresting/overloaded pictograms) -> but: the implementation of the one in-game at least seems to have high level execution weirdly enough.

-> but: Gunplay seems fresh? Like no game has done that responsive recoil feedback before, no?

-> but: sound design seems very good too?

Arc Raiders has some really strong points I see:

• The audio design is top (not a sound designer so cant tell you specifics).
• The UI in the A to A- department, only adding responsive UI elements and other fancy tech could add as a final optional highlight.
• Presentation and staging of the world elements seems abolutely like a blockbuster movie. Huge structures and generally a feel like youre in that post apocalyptic rebel world.

-> but: The long term combat appeal of arc is questionable, progression and long term motivation unclear.

That seems a little lacking for such negative rating, sure addicted gamers tend to be very emotional about these things but idk - even more laid back people seem to agree with these evaluations - in sum these points above are smaller likes or dislikes, but in its essence and gameplay both games do nothing much different - dont they?

Is it because the dev studio's reputations mainly? Also marathon having such a rich backbone, feels like its disrespected by the studio. Tell me my what specifics you like and dislike in these titles - did you feel different about the games?

Hear me out: Had these ideas to ensure lemmy doesn't derail into a short video/meme spiral like every other social platform

• Additional (more specific) up/downvote buttons.

Like "original vs generic", "low effort vs detailed"

Not only can we ensure the engagement doesn't derail into an X-like anarchy or Instagram meme fest, but we can also then sort comments by parameters (ie. you've seen 20 pun comments about the headline and broad topic at hand but want to see actual thoughts about a linked article)

Another idea:

• Instances are commonly offering donation buttons since they need to fund the servers. What if we tied cosmetic "superlike" awards to donations.

Thoughts? Very interested in your inputs/adaptations to my ideas or other cool concepts you have to ensure lemmy staying solid while growing

And nobody seems to bother (or highlight it which would be the job of the commenter)

I just browsed the feed for 20 mins after a month off being sober and don't miss the disguised instagram feed at all - short videos, meme comments, no old forum experience whatsoever. But thankfully we have that on Lemmy now, so Lemmy try that :)

Btw I didnt even read more than 5 comments total.. heres examples:

EDIT: look at how many "people" reply to that stuff - what a sheit show

Like can we make this a more vocal opinion that Triple-A studios/publishers are like legally required to offer a version.. Or what is your take on that, especially if you have a similar opinion with a deviation in execution. let me know why if you dont agree too!

I'd love to have and collect DRM free titles that last even after a platform is gone, also ubi cant pull off clown shows like the crew or whatever racing game they just erased out of power tripping spite

Thoughts on features to boost intent for posting more?

Like a karma system of that other forum website.

I currently miss a point system to motivate me that shows people via my profile how much I could help by posting/commenting. There's no system to create such feedback currently on Lemmy.

Are there statements by the creators of this platform about that?

What would be your top 5 most important and impactful product/service to switch from US to European?

And bonus question: What is one product/service you think is not as imlactful as another product/service or as others think?

There's a couple listed on fedditOrg's description, but now I wonder which interfaces you guys use and how to find all the options

Also are they limited to my account? As in I'd need to create a second lemmy account under another community like lemmy.world for other interface "skins"

• Is there a way to change the flavicon(icon in the tab preview as I understand) to another fediverse platform?

I currently have "mouse in flag colors" as an icon based on feddit org. But I would prefer for example the feddit IT logo - orange mouse, clean design)

Is that possible to change with like tampermonkey addon or something somehow in a rather easy way? I have an addon called "TwitterBird" for Mozilla replacing all X logos with the old blue twitter logo

• Or is there even a better way to accomplish this without creating an additional account to swap to all the time?

Whats the best way to take action for me as a single user? What kind of posts should I focus on making? Ive heard of fetching reddit posts, maybe I could do that if theres like an easy process to do so, I'd happily feed some communities I like with posts from the silicon valley mafia platform to this platform!

Also whats the name of this platform? I registered under feddit org, is the umbrella term called fediverse? Accroding to wiki then this(fediverse) should be linked to platforms like pixelfed and mastadon too, is it? How do I see content from them or in what way are these platforms interlinked with this reddit styled one?
