5 Reasons People STILL Hate Marathon (And Why They're Wrong)

Marathon has had a rough ride. The visuals divide people. The UI frustrated early players. The sweaty lobbies put casual players off. And for a lot of Destiny fans, this game carries the weight of something they loved being taken away. But here's the thing — nobody's complaining about the gameplay. More players than ever have now had a chance to get hands on with Marathon thanks to the free play week — so there's no excuse not to have an opinion based on actual experience. In this video I'm going through the five biggest complaints about Marathon, treating each one with respect, and giving you my honest counter as a solo player who's been in those lobbies. Maybe you've been on the fence. Maybe the free trial was your first look. Either way — let's actually talk about it.
