| In Response To: Re: The First Marathon Is The Best (Starship Security Officer) Damn it, every time I get to one of these cool discussions, everyone has already said everything I would want to say. But whatever. However, I will say this. The first marathon is the only game I've played were I've actually had to take a break from playing because my keyboard was getting so incredibly soaked with sweat that my fingers kept slipping off the keys. I distinctly remember staying up long nights playing marathon; the next morning, I would have to nearly pry myself out of my chair with a crow-bar because all my sweating would glue my skin to it. That said, marathon gave me a real since of terror and hopelessness. In marathon, I was a lonely security guard just trying to stay alive long enough to save my ship. In marathon, I wondered if I would ever live to see the light of day, wondered if I would ever get of this god-forsaken ship. I walked those lonely corridors with a real since of mortality On the other hand, in M2 and MI I felt more like a rambo, wading through a sea of helpless enemies . Sure, the fighting was rough at times, but I was certain to come up on top. That said, to me, marathon felt like a creeping game, walking slowly and cautiously along darkened bulkheads and broken machinery, uncertain of your fate. M2 and MI felt like a huge slugfest: get sent somewhere by somebody, kill everything that moved, repeat. Like your own privet thermopoly. Of curse non of this is to say that I like one of them over the others, I had a blast playing all of them, and each game has its own strengths and weakness. I did'nt even cover things like story of graphics, just the basic mood i get when playing. So yeah, I don't really prefer one game in the trilogy over the other, just whichever one I feel like playing, I play it. And at the moment, I feel like playing the original. ^If any of the above made any since to anybody, please congratulate yourself for being able to decipher my broken thought patterns and ramblings^ | |
