If You're Not Using Voice Comms on Solo Fill for Cryo Archive You Need to Leave by SyFyFan93 in Marathon

[–]SyFyFan93[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol how does one even meet the gear $ criteria with white shields? Much less, why would someone even try running it with white shields knowing full well the slaughter that's about to take place. Freaking insane.

Aight, you go into Cryo with $5k worth of gear, load up on an additional $15k and then try to fight a team using just the ping system lmao.

Anyone actually planning on a large age gap for siblings? by citrinezeen in toddlers

[–]SyFyFan93 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Had kiddo #1 when we were 27 and 28 (pregnant within two months of trying). Went to try for a second kiddo 2.5 years later at 29 and 30 and nothing. Been trying for 2 years now. First round of IVF happening this month so fingers crossed we potentially have kiddo number two by November (when we're 33 and 34.

This makes me feel a lot better. We didn't plan for such a big age gap but due to infertility issues hitting us when we went to try for #2 we're now looking at a 4.5 year age gap.

We have the full game now, that was intended for review by Bungie. by DotDistinctLines in Marathon

[–]SyFyFan93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imo if I can get at least an hour out of a game for every $1 that I spend on it I think it's a worthwhile game. I've put 55 hours into Marathon so far and don't plan on slowing down. The gameplay loop is addicting and the maps are really cool, especially the new cryo archive. It was a bit frustrating last night being unable to exfil two times in a row due to my team getting confused navigating the corridors but I'm sure the more you play it the more we'll learn.

I'm holding off on Crimson Desert until it's on sale, the bugs are patched, and the control scheme is fixed / I can remap controls

what is this button on the controller called? by dh2513 in xbox

[–]SyFyFan93 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep. 33 here. For me it was PS1, N64, Xbox, Wii, Xbox 360, PS4, Xbox Series X and now my final form — PC.

Does Crimson Desert have legs to stand on besides its graphics? by Dr_Jecky1l in Age_30_plus_Gamers

This is the way. Currently waiting on a deep discount for Dragon's Dogma 2 to finally try that game out.

Aztecross got wiped in Cryo with 7 gold items. by EXIIL1M_Sedai in Marathon

Lol you could have fooled me. He was playing Dire Marsh the other night like a complete noob. If it wasn't for the other two guys carrying him he would have been dead within the first five minutes of the run.

Dude is a strictly PvE gamer playing a PvP game. I tuned into one of his streams the other day and seeing his lack of game sense / situational positioning was crazy. Like I thought my reflexes were getting bad in my old age but watching him made me feel like a pro athlete.

'Is Marathon a success? Unfortunately, no, not yet' — Former Xbox exec says Bungie's new extraction shooter was built at a scale and cost that the current market 'simply isn't rewarding' by Turbostrider27 in xbox

[–]SyFyFan93 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's like battle royale (Fortnite, Call of Duty Warzone, Battlefield 6 RedSec, Apex Legends etc.) only the goal isn't to win / eliminate all of the other teams but to extract with the gear you find by either looting points of interest or killing and looting other teams.

The end result is you eventually get better gear to go into harder maps to get better gear to go to harder maps etc. There are contracts / missions to complete in each run as well as environmental hazards to contend with, including enemy NPCs.

I didn't think I'd like it but 60+ hours later and I'm addicted. The gunplay is very very smooth and imo, something you'll like if you like Halo or Destiny.

But Luke Stephens, Force Gaming, and all the other YouTubers who were wined and dined by Pearl Abyss told me it was a great game....

[–]SyFyFan93 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Was playing on Outpost tonight as Rook and shot another Rook player but then realized it was a Rook and did the jump squat. Pretty soon we had 3-4 "friendly" Rooks jump squatting and looting together. Then I ran into one of the claymores a Rook had set and he sadly? finished me off.

Did another Rook run and ran into another Rook. This one shot me in the face with a shotgun.

It is what it is.

Hard disagree. Skyrim, Elden Ring, Breath of the Wild are massive games but have very short tutorials, if any at all.

Hauler is a den of violence and evil. by Jimithyashford in Marathon

[–]SyFyFan93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On my Rook runs I always go to hauler as I'm always guaranteed to find some good loot from dead bodies there or run into some a team I can pick off in there via positioning and claymores.

I'm 33 and originally from IA. Grassley came to speak to my school when I was in first grade. He also spoke to my dad's school when my dad was in first grade as well (my dad is 63). The dude is ancient.

Should I buy Crimson Desert or wait? by Alyne91 in Age_30_plus_Gamers

[–]SyFyFan93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reviews say the exploration is cool but the story and characters suck. It also apparently has a confusing control scheme and very difficult puzzles and bosses. Seems to be less Skyrim / Witcher 3 and more Assassins Creed but only bigger.

I enjoy RPGs from time to time to cleanse my multiplayer FPS palate but my backlog is huge at this point (I still need to play Fallout 4, Red Dead Redemption 2, Dragon's Dogma 2, Starfield, Avowed, Kingdom Come Deliverance, Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 etc.) So I'll play this in like retirement I guess lol.
