>Marathon’s hook, is “Doom for intellectuals”, right?
It's probably perceived that way now, but it's hook was more "it's Doom for the Mac"
>When the average /v/ user is saying the Marathon characters look woke or ass, what are they actually saying? What are they disagreeing with artistically?
I'd say it's a lack of a certain energy. I won't say it's "testosterone" or "sex appeal" but whatever the character designs are lacking it is adjacent to those ideas. Drive. Intent. Thrust. Willpower. Killing intent. And so on.
>That method of writing the lore and AI conversations in Marathon and Syetem Shock 1, those are gone.
They are not popular. Out of style. But it's far from "gone".
Even some of Destiny 1's writing was on par with some of the better writing in Marathon.
It's just instead of in-game terminals it was sequestered away onto a phone companion app until it got copied to fan wikis.
