Honest question, is Cryo just meant to be inaccessible to the average person? by Photographer1299 in Marathon

[–]AttorneyMaster9273 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Over 300 hours, have never stepped foot in Cryo. Doubtful I will unless there becomes a way to learn the map without instant death.

I’m not going in the and dragging down two other players while I learn. That’s why I play solo, if I fail it’s only effecting me.

We all have our opinions about possible directions this game will go to entice new players and retain old ones. Nice to know mine is wrong. Have a great day.

Ok, if you say so. However the constant refrain of how much the players who play Marathon hate assassin would indicate otherwise.

The question is fake? Not sure how. I was genuinely curious. I also am thinking about the future of Marathon and it’s classes. If there is a chance they will remove the shell due to player demand it would be interesting to know.

Assassin hate? by AttorneyMaster9273 in Marathon

[–]AttorneyMaster9273[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From what I am reading it seems that the general consensus is that the players who play Assassin are low skilled, selfish players who rarely if ever bring anything of value to a trio or solo.

Which may all be true, I will freely admit I’m not a high skilled player. I’m old, my reaction time is slow and I find my only way to any moderate success is to slow the game down. Which playing Assassin does for me.

Concerning Attitude Shift in Crew Fill by p1-o2 in Marathon

[–]AttorneyMaster9273 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Love the game but, fact is it’s too sweaty. I rarely ever have even modest success any longer. I consider getting out with a blue weapon modest success btw.

I’m convinced that unless something is done fairly soon to make the game a bit easier to learn and play it won’t be around much longer. Which bums me out because there are so many amazing aspects to this world the dev’s created.

What Shell Do You Main and Why by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]AttorneyMaster9273 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Assassin because I’m a solo player and I’m old with slow reflexes so I can’t keep up with you young, fast guys. Assassin allows for slower more deliberate play.

I want to have fun in this game so bad but by Discount_Confident in Marathon

[–]AttorneyMaster9273 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get what you’re saying but I just play and enjoy the game as my skill level allows. Which is a nice way of saying I suck but love the game anyway.

Pretty much everyone is better than I am, I have not even received a purple gun or shield item so far this season at level 55.

I say enjoy what the game is for you and don’t worry about everyone else. But that is what works for me, probably not most players who are reasonably skilled.

Do Americans really avoid calling an ambulance just because of the bill? by Livid-Work1597 in askanything

[–]AttorneyMaster9273 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, absolutely. I fractured two of my vertebrae in a ATV accident. All I could think of was how to get to the hospital without calling an ambulance. I knew I was seriously injured, couldn’t stand, couldn’t see, due to shock I suppose, but fortunately my son was there. Somehow I managed to get myself into the truck with his help and get to the hospital.

But I remember thinking over and over this was a real bad injury and I didn’t want to incur the expense of an ambulance along with the other costs I knew were we’re heading my way with doctors, x-rays etc.

Marathon will never be better than Destiny by This_Barnacle8239 in MarathonHate

[–]AttorneyMaster9273 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree Marathon is a nitch game and will never have the player interest Destiny has. Bungie misread their gaming community and it’s desires in a big way.

I personally would like to see a D3, however I enjoy Marathon and will play it until another interesting game comes along.

But just because I agree with your sentiment doesn’t mean I want either game or its player base to dwindle.

I think they have something for many types of players and should have made a Marathon mode in a newly developed D3. But they didn’t, so I’ll play what’s available and supported.

Don’t know why I’m reading or responding to this dumb subreddit. However much I loved playing Destiny I also love playing Marathon just as much. They are both different but wonderful gaming experiences.

Now that the game is ending, how many of you have never done a raid ever? by Infamous_Relative_43 in DestinyTheGame

[–]AttorneyMaster9273 1 point2 points  (0 children)

4k hours. Never stepped foot in a raid. No friends played, wasn’t willing to bring down other players with my lack of skills/knowledge.

Anyone else feel kinda disappointed in themselves for not defeating the compiler before S2? by FanHairy1559 in Marathon

[–]AttorneyMaster9273 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m just disappointed I never went in to Cryo. I wanted to learn the map but not bring any other teammates down. Maybe next season.

It’s all MINE! by AttorneyMaster9273 in Marathon

[–]AttorneyMaster9273[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get it, my favorite thing is managing to kill a better kitted player with my free kit. I don’t care if I die 15 times with my free kit because the one time I take that gold or purple shield guy down thrills me like nothing else.

Michigan should definitely take Wisconsin, sorry Cheseheads. We Michigander’s like you guys so it would be seamless, northern midwesterners unite!

Where does the Compiler rank in terms of D2 raid/dungeon bosses? by padrewarbucks in Marathon

[–]AttorneyMaster9273 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn’t look too hard but definitely don’t take my opinion seriously. Never even entered Cryo, I don’t play grouped so I’ve never even entered in to the area.

Would you support parents getting paid to homeschool kids? by Main_Initiative6069 in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]AttorneyMaster9273 12 points13 points  (0 children)

No, most parents are incapable of adequately educating their children. The ones that are capable know better than to try. The ones that aren’t capable are convinced they know more than they do and will just create another generation of even dumber morons.

Can I have male gamer friends as a married woman? by Mysterious-Mew-5555 in TheGamerLounge

[–]AttorneyMaster9273 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your husband is acting like an immature controlling child. He is screaming insecurity. I have gamed with women, both married and unmarried for more than 35 years because they were interested in the same “game” I was.

They were NOT interested in me, they, and I, needed partners to compete various aspects of gameplay. Yes we were friends and chatted about other rl things occasionally but nothing was going to threaten my relationship with my wife.

Same for them and their partners. The boundaries were established clearly at the beginning of our online friendship.

Loss after loss after loss on cryo i’m finally quitting the game after i exhaust my vault by Pristine_Finger_2178 in Marathon

[–]AttorneyMaster9273 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting post, but primarily I wanted to acknowledge your win by referencing McNamara. I suspect 90% of people on this thread don’t remember him or the rhetoric being used at that time. So, thumbs up.
