So, playing Half-Life on Hard was a terrible idea and I'm not enjoying myself any more, and I have Delta Particles to play for that particular itch, so I'm giving the Quake II remaster a whirl! It's very good! I don't really hold QII In as high regard as OG Quake, but it's still a fun shooty game and the remaster provides all sorts of nice tweaks. I've always liked the mechanics of the pump-action double-barrel shotgun. It's so needlessly overkill, and it makes that nice chunk-chunk sound when it's pumping.

Play Call of the Machine. It was a life changing improvement in my opinion of Quake 2 and had that been the way the Quake 2 campaign played id be singing its praises instead of calling it bad.

Does Quake Champions count? Hell, does it count anywhere?

If a Quake game can be an online only arena shooter with a mish mash of weird characters you’ve never seen before and be considered a legit Quake game, so can Quake Champions.

Ergo, Quake Champions is Quake 5. :colbert: Sorlag is my waifu.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Mordja posted:

That Slave Zero/Quake tie-in was cool! I'm still not really interested in the actual game they're making since beat 'em ups are really my thing but still, a cool little thing. Impressive the amount of work that went into it, even if a lot of the enemies and weapons were pretty much reskins in function, but there are a few more unique ones as well. Beating the game even unlocks a couple new toys that you can use if you feel like playing through the episode again! I will say that, visually speaking, I thought the first couple maps were more interesting than the others. Well worth a look!

gently caress I haven't played a beat em up in years. They're one of my favorite genres. Is there a thread

I eventually just latched on to athena unless I had a kill with ability daily. Quake Champions isn't that bad, my biggest problem with it is it apparently loads like poo poo with a HDD and you're not gonna guess what I have. There are dozens of us! Dozens!

Yeah that's kind of a double whammy of era defining games to have to compete with(really until PUBG & Fortnite popularized commercially the Battle Royale genre in 2017 most FPS multiplayer games for the 2007-2017 decade were trying to ape either COD or TF2 aside from the occasional Battlefield clone or the odd throwback or co-op focused game)

I always felt that Doom 3 had an mini identity crisis about whether it wanted to be a slower, more vulnerable System Shock 2 style style shooter, or a darker themed but still more action oriented shooter like Doom 64/PSX. The repetitive monster closets, resource management not really being a thing & the over abundance of ammo even in the 2004 version meant you didn't have a great atmospheric survival themed experience for the most part. Some very early sections, Hell & the Delta labs have a nice creepy atmosphere I'll admit, but there wasn't enough . From an shooting perspective, most weapons feel & sound weak, damage feedback is abysmal (only gibs are the hilarious "brain popping out of zombies" for half a second before fading away and the over done flying ragdoll effects on massive enemies like the Hell Knight is WTF) didn't make it a great action experience either.

On a Quake related note, I have a nasty feeling that unless it's a reboot of Quake 1, the next game will either be related to the Strogg directly, or be heavily influenced by its aesthetic: no time for Lovecraft, weird castles or inter-dimensional horror themes, Quake 2 Remastered recent success means Bethesda higher-ups will double down on the Strogg!

Quake 6 should be a semi-open world hub game with nonlinear progression where you can jumpgate to different worlds, one of which is the Strogg world.

Let's throw some lite RPG elements in there too, and many cosmetic microtransactions. Perhaps an extraction shooter MP?

I missed 2 modern combat and 1943 yeah, both console exclusives (like Bad Company 1). 1943 was super fun but didn't feel like a fully fledged release with just three maps (conquest) and one for air superiority. I didn't unclude BF Heroes and Play4Free because obvious reasons.
