do we older guys stick longer to this old game ?

[BioticPulse]

Think so :-)

 

Hard to quit something (imo still) as funny as this!!

 

And it saves me alot of money buying new games that I really do not play anyway lol (A concept that I really like)

[andy_3_913]

And keeps my mind nimble.

(Thinking up new ways to swear at Phantoms, Turrets,....)

 

Edit:

 

After tonight, I've realised I'm now repeating myself.

Are we all old f@rts then? Well, we still kick butt...

 

Well, I did a pc to pc LAN Doom match with another guy back in the mid '90... it might count to something right?

I actually remember with him going in a room that was square with a bunch of pillar, i go left and cleanup the room form the clockwise side, he (unknowingly to me) got stuck at the door with the bulk of the forces on his right. when I did three walls, I pop on the last just to see the BFG9000 shot arriving straight on me.... Friendly fire on....

 

Epic!

People saying "this was their first MP experience" makes me feel very old ... hell, I used to have a link cable for the Amiga and my mate Andy and I would link those suckers together and play Dogfight or Populous II ...

 

This was my first MP experience, but that had more to do with my engagement with video games in general.  I'm old enough to have played Adventure on Atari when it first came out.  Likewise, I could have played Doom on an office intranet back in the day (yo) but things like sports and my career as a Korean hand model got in the way.

This thread is making me feel young (29), which hasn't been a familiar feeling for quite some time. I approve.

 

On topic, had a game a couple of weeks ago with Foxever and Daft Alpha Punk as pugs. the 4th pug rage quit around wave 5 or 6, he wasn't missed and we cruised through Glacier Hazard/ Reapers/ Gold as a trio.

 

It's wave 10 that makes me remember this game though. We had the hack on the balcony just up from the extraction zone. A few seconds in to it and I managed to get myself grabbed by a Banshee, which Foxever spotted and rather neatly missiled. An important missile became even more important when 30 seconds later Daft Alpha Punk got himself grabbed by the other banshee, which I nuked. Foxever was a bit too wiley to get grabbed and allow Daft Alpha to complete the circle, but if he had missed with his missile he could well have been doing most of the hack on his own, on Glacier with the bar moving and 1/3 speed, which would have been tall order. Teamwork at its finest.

Cool story, bro.  Excellent tale, youngster.

 

I've played with both of those guys/gals, they are good quality team mates. They seem often to be found together, which may be coincidence for all I know.

There is only one thing I love more than competent PUGs. Not yet competent PUGs who do their damned best to help. Bonus points for below 100 N7 and CP ranking toting basic, unupgraded gear.

 

That tenacity is something to behold. And it's almost cute how they try to follow your lead once they figured out there's one who knows what they're doing. It's like two cutsey, adawwrable dog puppies. Cutsey, adawwrable puppy pugs.

Hell yes that counts!

 

Thing is, as I've gotten older my reactions have probably gotten slower... but I can afford a better Internet connection to compensate - so I can still just about keep up... normally

ap38117 I love the way this person realized quickly that I was the one who knew what I was doing in a silver game last night. Somehow, I ended up becomeing the "leader" for the rest of the match after the fourth person left. I know I'm one of the last people who should be talking about new players, but I love it when I find those who are willing to HELP with objectives and such. Though there wasn't much I could do when wave 11 came and the other two I was playing with bolted to extraction. (I wasn't wearing a mic.) Ended up hauling over to help as soon as I heard "squad member down" ten seconds later Got a full extraction of course.

I'm mid-30's and this game stuck because I don't have a lot of time/money to invest in a bunch of games like I used to, so I wring every last drop of fun I can out of every game I get. I also have no patience for PvP games anymore.  Honestly, I think the lack of "competition" combined with fun game play/characters lends itself to a much better user base.  It also helped that I've run into a few awesome people (through PUGs) who have recently picked up the game and now play regularly with.  

 

Side note (since someone mentioned Atari):  I can clearly remember asking my parents to buy me E.T. for my birthday, getting home, playing it and realizing even then, that I will never, ever play a worse game in my life.

[Chealec]

Just had a couple of games with someone called something like GunsBam ... I'm pretty convinced he was just trying to outscore me every game which wouldn't bother me in the slightest if he'd actually got in the hack circle. Still, fair play, with some strategic spawn nuking I think he just outscored me every game - even with getting synch-killed twice in a Reapers/Glacier game.

 

Made for some nice easy games though and I didn't even have to use all that many consumables.

 

He bailed when I switched to the Volus Sentinel though - obviously knew there's no competing with that little bubble of awesome

Lol, Now I feel like a young player (veeery close to the number 43).

 

Seems like there is propably more "older than most" ppl on BSN (or playing this game in general) than 1 would think.

 

A lot of the ppl on my fl is also in their prime age lol

 

As of 12am yesterday I am 38 years of age. Sometimes when I turn on the 360 to play a game I think of this scene (from 'The Waterboy'):

Ah, 38.

I remember it well.

I don't really, but belated happy birthday :-)

I think at that age we were still hunting T-Rex in the carboniferous forests.

[Quarian Master Race]

Had an excellent QFI sniper pug team up with my Claymoar QFE today. She was a good shot and very helpful with hacking atleses and turrets and covering my ass while I ran around blasting everything like an exo suit wearing rambo

Pugs are usually awful, but in my experience whenever another quarian shows up (which is rare), they are good about 90% of the time, and the ones who arent are almost universally low level QFI's (usually an early unlock for new players). Salarians also have a high chance of being decent to good.

Any other race is a toss up, but my geth pugs are almost universally bad for some reason.

Alright, you were hunting the T- Rex while I cowered in the undergrowth. Nothing's changed.

I don't know who you were looking at, but I was in the undergrowth as well.

Hiding behind you.

I joined a friend's game two weeks ago with a dude he met in a PUG named PACMAN2798 - three really smooth and chill platinum games where no one really even broke a sweat.  That's what makes this game awesome.

 

Offtopic:  This was my first console.  I even had the huge adapter that you could use with a handful of games to have voices in the games.  The voice "acting" from Tron and B-17 Bomber will be ingrained in my brain for the rest of my life.

 

[panda5onix]

ProfessorSpank and this other pug who I suddenly forgot the name (blame alcohol   ) you guys were awesome. It's been a while since I met fellow Aussies while pugging. Was a really easy match on FWB/ Geth too

So you took your gaming handle off your first console then? I bet that thing was the size of a bus!

 

As an aside, this was my first "gaming machine" - Elite ftw!

I had that one space game that was like Atari Space Invaders but with asteroids and weird spinning white thingies that auto killed you if they touched the ground anywhere.  Every time you broke a certain score threshold, the background color of space changed.  I remember getting so far the colors recycled.  Also some weird math game with monkeys.

 

Then my parents got divorced and each one claimed the other had the console.  Never saw it again.
