Q2 is no where near as fast as Q1 or Q3, but it's 100% more gritty. I enjoy it. Especially DM on tastyspleen. There is a reason it's not given as much love, though. It doesn't have the John Romero magic.

I like the observation someone (everyone made) that Q2 is what happens when you have Carmack by himself make a game, completely devoid of soul but technically sound and extremely solid, and Daikatana is what happens when Romero makes a game by himself, etc. etc. Anyway, peace.

These words. These words are true. This is why a Dirty Old Men movie with only Jack Lemmon wouldn't work.

The singleplayer gets a lot of flak, but its actually a really great campaign. Great variety of enemies, cool weapons, and the levels are all fun to run through. Just a great game in general that often flies under the radar. Quake 4 is also decent, but not as good as Quake 2.

no

Quake 2 isn't as dark by sheer virtue of not taking place in a literal dimension of darkness where the monsters have evolved to not even need eyes anymore.

"wah wah kill me now" - quake 2 prisoner

then you shoot them for a grenade. why did that prisoner even have a grenade? strogg security isn't very thorough.

the real ending of the game is the tank model in a hot tub with two iron maidens.

i like the guard's animations, especially their death animations for some reason

SPACE HOMOS posted:

I always liked the jail parts of the Q2 single player cause the crazy marine sounds/animations make me giggle.

the jail part is the best bc of how fun it is to gently caress with the prisoners and hear their funny sounds. at one point, you reach a research facility and in one part, you can see them endlessly crawling through a small corridor while making silly sounds. its unintentionally kinda cute :3:
