why is the original Quake so fucking good
| I read you and fully agree. A game from the DOS era that will never die. It really is playable to this day and in gameplay holds its ground against most of modern fps titles. Quake 2 was also as good and in its opengl incarnation is a true marvel.
Another true classic was/is "Unreal". The levels would take you suddenly from a futuristic spaceship place to a medieval surrealistic one. A piece of art.
| I... actually don't know.
It's just one of those things that was never really surpassed tbh.
| Ah, and Unreal soundtrack was so good that I didt find rest using the level editor trying to extract the music files until I did it and plaied them on random shuffle for hours and hours.
| Quake 1 and 2 are gold but I much prefer Q3A/QL for MP.
Enjoying Quake Champions thoroughly even though I get curbstomped quite frequently.
Nice break between working on my game and other projects.

iirc Unreal and Unreal Tournament had their songs in .umx format which can easily be played with XMPlay
least on my side, i dunno
| idk, i remember I would constantly play Quake, Doom, and Doom 2 all day even more than a decade after they released. I think the limitations they had forced them to innovate in the gameplay and create unique games.
| personally, i recall my dad getting a magazine that had a demo disk with UT99 on it
played almost nothing but DM_Morpheus all day kek
| I'd get into Quake Champions, but eww Bethesda...
Also, it's p2w. How, you may ask? Your ROF is tied directly to how powerful your graphics card is.
That's right.
The more frames you have, the higher your ROF.
| Unless they fixed that finally...
| That was fixed in the latest patch.

I wouldn't really call that so much as pay to win as you don't deliberately buy a better graphics card to be OP in Quake because ROF. It's moreso just a technical bug that breaks the game just like hit detection does.
That's literally like saying "Oh, it's p2w because if you have more frames the less likely the hit detection is to bug out".
QC's a decent game so far and is shaping up nicely. When it goes F2P though, I expect people to complain about P2W because
>champions
| Plot twist: it's not
|
| I always loved the world Quake and Doom were based in.
To me, they are games that need to be respected because they are a very important milestone in the vidyagaems ind.
That, and its worlds are just fucking awesome.
