In Response To: RE: The First Marathon Is The Best (deathmonger)

: 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.

*giggles* Yeah! That's how Marathon kind of makes me feel sometimes also, lol!

: 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.

I agree with that.

: 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^

Yes. And what do you mean "broken thought patterns and ramblings"? I understood it easily. No offense, but you may be getting a little too hard on yourself. Don't worry, I do that to myself all the time too.
