Marathon's first day after launch is officially in the books, and it's a very mixed bag when it comes to a number of factors in Bungie's new live-service shooter. On Steam, it's got over 5,700 reviews and maintains a Very Positive rating, which is good. Elsewhere, the player count peaked yesterday at over 88,000 concurrents and has since dropped and stabilized at around 55,000 as of time of publishing, which is not great. Screenshot by Destructoid People who are liking the dark sci-fi extraction shooter seem to be really liking it, but it is absolutely a niche, hardcore PvP experience, and that most likely won't resonate with most casual players like another genre staple ARC Raiders has. But even those who are loving it have taken issue with a main monetization point: Marathon's Rewards Pass. The Rewards Pass (season pass, battle pass, etc.) is mostly comprised of items like profile backgrounds, weapon stickers, weapon charms, and weapon skins, but t...

Browt, Pombon, and Gecqua are rapidly becoming one of Pokémon's most popular starter trios. Fans adore the Bean Chick, Puppy, and Water Gecko Pokémon's designs, and many can't help but wonder what their final evolutions might look like. If a fan theory is true, they might be some of the coolest in Pokémon history. We've known for a while, thanks to leaks, that Pokémon's 10th generation takes place in a region inspired by Southeast Asia. Winds and Waves ' official trailer has all but confirmed that. Drawing from this, fans looked to Southeast Asia's rich cultural history for inklings of what the region's starters' ultimate forms might look like, and a fan on X thinks they may have cracked the code. Pokémon Winds and Waves starter Pokémon may not stay cute and cuddly for long Screenshot by Destructoid The theory, rapidly gaining traction among Pokémon fans, posits that each of Winds and Waves starters' final stages will resemble a legend...

Marvel Rivals' second year is turning into one massive advertisement for some big movies coming out this year, but I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing. Last night at a special event in Los Angeles, NetEase Games revealed Marvel Rivals : Path to Doomsday, a series of in-game events to tie in to the Marvel Cinematic Universe and eventually culminate in the massive Avengers: Doomsday f ilm on Dec. 18. Image via NetEase Games A series of movie tie-in events playable in Marvel Rivals kicks off next month with homage to the original Avengers movie from 2012. As part of it, a new Loki costume inspired by the character's design in that movie will come to the game, alongside a special new game mode. "In this asymmetrical PVP mode, one player plays as Loki, facing off against six other players who play as different heroes," NetEase said. "Loki is equipped with an all-new skill set, combining deception, illusions, and powerful Infinity Stone abili...
