What's Quake 4?

EDIT: I only ever played Quake 1 with a keyboard. This was back in my Doom and Wolf3D days. Quake 2 was my first mouse FPS. This might have affected how I felt about the evolution, but the changes definitely felt as though they contributed to the growth of the genre.

I remember when I thought I was hot poo poo with a keyboard on Doom because I could kick my friends' asses. Then I logged onto DWANGO for the first time, where people used a mouse to play.

I lost my first game something like 98-2.

It's not a ghost, but probably a 'living corpse'. The 'living dead' with a hell of a lot of bloodlust...
It's kind of fun in a cutesy way but the praise it gets is way overblown and the fans are terrible.

I think it's a pretty good kids show. A lot of episodes are like, set up an interpersonal conflict between characters and then resolve it in a healthy way, and it covers a much wider variety of stuff a lot better than I remember any kids cartoon covering when I was a kid. It gets a bit lore-y now it's been running for a few seasons, but there's a lot of fun episodes in there.

Quake Champions. It's... It might be good you guys...

Oh! I hope it is good, even if it's not my kind of game. :D

I was all worried when the "Quake's back!" announcement dropped with some kind of Overwatch-style heroes-first "are they making a moba" stuff, as that's...not what Quake is. So if it's good, great!

Yeah I'm pretty wary of making quake a class-based shooter. But I don't really play those kinds of games anymore, so it doesn't really matter to me. I won't play quake on a console, and I don't play pc twitch shooters. I'm done with that part of my life.

I mean, I'm an addict. I can get addicted to anything. But multiplayer twitch shooters take over my entire life. They coopt my entire brain reward system. With single player games, casual games, alcohol, drugs, tv shows, i can juggles those with the rest of my life.

But multiplayer twitch shooters on PC I can't do at the same time as being a functioning adult.

Like, this week I drank 15 liters of box wine and played about 60 hours of Horizon Zero Dawn, but I also aced a midterm and did a bunch of homework.

Yeah like, I had to take a break from overwatch. By virtual of playing it on ps4, and being class-based, it wasn't really the crack that Quake 3, CS:S and UT2k4 were for me, but I could feel it starting to takeover.

And it's not just that I play them constantly, my mindset changes when I play those games. I become really serious and competitive and lose perspective about things and I don't like how it feels to be thinking that way all the time. It coopts my ability to set goals and prioritize life choices by moving them all inside the game. I set gameplay goals rather than life goals.

Basically, I'm real dumb. But I'm working with what I got.

It's more about accepting it. I too am done with the part of my life where I play PC twitch shooters. Rocket Arena 3 was good, but it is over and it is time to move on

To casual gaming! I just beat MGS TPP, or so I thought, until the credits ended and "Chapter 2" popped up. Cripes. I thought I was just bad enough at base management that i wasn't doing well enough to unlock the top-tier equipment.

They've been working on it a lot lately, but the sound for Botw is entirely borked still so its not exactly perfect.

Also link sinks into the ground and there's no water. Fish spawn on dry land and there's just massive valleys where there should be lakes. Its kinda broken.

Switch is out now though so WiiU is a generation old and about time that emulation starts to get decent. Wii emulation has been impressive for awhile now, and WiiU isn't the most complex hardware.

Alongside the Power Puff Girls. I guess they would be pretty OP.
