What are your thoughts on QUAKE?

Better than Doom

Insanely fun, but the bosses are shit. Telefragging the final boss is novel and sorta funny, though.
My favorite aspect of Quake is how the explosives are your workhorse weapons. Strong, spammable explosives are always a 'blast' to use. That's part of why I love Blood so much.

It's shit and Carmack is a faggot

Flop.

glquake, transparant water and anti aliasing with voodoo card. sweet.

it gave birth to team fortress, and the end result was beautiful.

QUAKE
fun game but very disjointed
the level packs are all over the place

Quake is good for you.

Ahead of its time - they wanted to have Doom amounts of enemies, but they couldn't at the time, so they decided to make each enemy eat a gun full of ammo before they die. It's a 10/10 engine and a 6/10 game. It deserves respect because it was the proto multiplayer FPS game and it created the blueprint that basically 90% of the good FPS games in existence are copying.

Simply the best.

Worse campaign

Worse aesthetic

Fewer sourceports

Fewer modding materials/harder to mod

The Railgun

I have no reservations on being called a contrarian, but my opinion is still right. The only thing Quake 2 has going for it is a lack of a Michael.

the fat yeti that had electric powers can suck my left nut

QUAKE 2016
QUAKE ETERNAL
QUAKE THE DARK AGES
How does this alternate future look?

Not a fan of 2, but I respect your opinion.

Doom: Champions featuring the Quake Slayer

It would be a weird timeline.

The graphics blew my mind at the time. I was used to Doom clones doing the thing where enemies are 2D spites that just sort of shear. I also liked that it took itself so seriously, it was like a serious fantasy/horror movie and not full of goofy jokes. I hardly ever play it nowadays, but it's fun to fire up every couple of years for the nostalgia.

he can't shambler dance

2 would've been much better if switching weapons didn't take a year and enemies were faster instead of being slow moving retards you can shambler shuffle forever

a lack of a Michael

The only Michael working on 1 was Abrash and how was he a bad thing?

No I'm talking about the Michael of the USA variety. Just don't say his name or you'll summon him to spam the board with his autism.

Soulful weapon/world design. I'm glad that sort of design philosophy eventually came back after CoDslop nearly killed it.

yeti

Shamblers don’t have fur.

every single hero shooter exists because of quake c
there is no functional difference between those early quake mods and whatever shlok we have now, other than the absurd skill ceilings of rocket jumping and high speed grapple movement
boomer shooters never moved past QC

I'm glad they added Trent's soundtrack back into the steam version

Doom: Champions

already exists lmao

This game is shamelessly satanic

Guns, campaign, level design

what the actual fuck

"military dude kills satan's servants"
doesnt get much more biblical than that

every single shooter exists because of quake. period. your statement is kind of meaningless.

The gun designs in 2 are all trash and they feel like shit to shoot. I like 2 but come on.

its actually fantastic man you should give it a try

I didn’t like it but understood I was in a minority. I much preferred the faux 3d of doom.

base quake is fine but the custom campaigns people make are seriously the best shooter experiences ever made

incorrect
quake came and then went, its preposterous skill ceiling turned everyone away from boomer shooters forever, once you realized you will get totally swept by anyone with talent and experience
meanwhile, doom is still getting developed and modded, unlike the much less active quake, because it has a meaty single player experience that doesnt ever get completely boring
doom also came first and was more successful and influential in nearly any measurable way
doom is the reason why shooters exist, not quake

link?

is it worth downloading for singleplayer or more mp focused?

alkaline slipseer.com/index.php?resources/alkaline.62/
also arcane dimenensions is ever better if you havent played it already

singleplayer is kind of whatever its just the arcade mode gauntlet from quake 3 and then some doom 1+2 maps with quake movement. the MP is the meat and potatoes of the game, same as its always been with quake. its just great as it all comes in a nice neat little package thats easy to just install and run with its own server browser. its an AFPS so playerbase can be low so i'd recommend going to their discord if you want to arrange some games.

thanks ill check it out

no

Nah, gun designs are great in 2, I'd say mostly even better than in 1, and I'm a huge original Quake fag. I agree that some of them feel like shit to shoot, but that's mostly because of the enemies, them either missing the proper reaction to being shot, or because they use sidestep cheats.

It’s ok. Same with doom. But I genuinely don’t see why people think these games are any better than halo. They get about as repetitive as quickly as halo does. Visually they’re all brown mush, similar to how halo is all grey mush.

ok satanic panic victim

its fast and doesnt waste your time with bullshit like story, cutscenes and gay nonsense like that. it just lets you turn your brain off and shoot at some cheesy monsters and demons.

I think Quake's maps are way better. So it depends on whether you're including Doom WADS when you say Doom.

I played 1 and got bored but then played 2 and had a blast.

Quake is for men, what doom is for women.

Halo is slow as shit, restricts you to 2 guns and most of the maps are extremely large empty fields with absolutely fucking nothing in them because the game was originally going to be an RTS.
