Quake3World

I will admit that quake 4 is the only game that I've looked forward to playing. With that out of the way, I've been dissappointed by alot of games recently. Half life 2 bored me, so did UT 2004, Tribes 2, and Tribes vengeance. In fact, I've been playing Quake 3 since 1999, nothing matched it(only yesterday I remembered my computer can handle more than "medium" settings, boy was my face red). It has even remained in the top 10 games played in Gamespy stats(suck on that UT and UT2003 fanboys)

What I'm trying to get at is this: The majority of FPS players HATE the quake series and id software. Remember all the hate for quake 2's orange and brown textures? What the fuck is that about? I remember friends of mine(shit i was in highschool back then even) ridiculing quake for its lack of "futuristic maps". wah wah wah its too gothic! The damn UT vs quake argument has been around for ages, most media siding with UT.

So now I look at all the good games id has made, and I look at all the good games Raven has made. I watch the IGN in game videos, and I notice how much people have hated quake throughout the years. You know what? I'm GLAD pc gamer gave it a 70%. I just know the game won't be Half life 2, UT2004, or Painkiller. It'll be what I want it to be, a quake game.

So fuck all the skeptics, I'm picking this up with my eyes closed!

Agree....

Don't you wanna look at the box?

LOL, english isn't my first language, I think I fucked that up pretty bad. I'm leaving it up as punishment for myself.

I completely agree with duffman on this one.

Theres a few reasons. Realistic weapons, and physics seem to be the in thing right now. People don't take the time to realize it's depth. Games like counterstrike offer instant gratification, no movement tricks, much easier to play. People are blinded by features, such as vehicles, alt fire, and think those components are needed to make a great mp game.

I think pcgamer gave quake 3 an 80%, and UT a 93%, or some shit. With UT, it might just take one sit down to properly review it, everything is pretty much up front, and pumped full of features and gimmicks. Q3 is the experience that keeps on giving. There are so many natural movement tricks, and the balance is so perfect. It takes a while to truely understand, and appreciate it.

well said duffman

I have no doubt in my mind that I'll thoroughly enjoy it.

I never really liked quake3, I thought it was good but not something I could play for a long time. I'll try quake4, if it sucks then whatever if it's good then I'll play it until I get bored.

Its a sure thing on my side too, i'm gonna buy the game no matter what i have read in game reviews...

I'm ready for it. I'll play it for a couple of years and then go back to old Q2

More than anything I'm looking forward to the clans and the community and the fraggin'!

I hope it does well

well put duffy.

I agree on all accounts. Quake has never been a mainstream franchise. Let all the kids keep playing CS, I don't give a shit. Hopefully Q4 will provide the depth of gameplay that is lacking in recent MP games.

lq great fun

i'll get my moronometer to figure out what you just said.

anyhoo \ignore

q4 is q3 with eye candy .. how the fuck can that be a bad thing.

BTW q2 was q3 with eye candy .. me thinks we have a winnah

Whatever the mainstream sheep say, Quake 4 will still own. Period.

so true. this piece of gold should be stickyfied :icon14:

true. q3 takes time and effort to learn and master, it scares most people :{

:icon14:

i'll try some

:bump:

Good call Duffman
Hit the nail on the head right there

spoken like a true hero

I knew I'd buy it as soon as it was announced. I've never found a game that's grabbed and held me the way Q3 did.
I hope the same is true for Q4.

Well put, I just hope that it runs on my crappy computer for now.
