    Raven really did right by the Strogg! Q4 finally made me appreciate the species and their lore (or hints of lore, rather). The characters are also unexpectededly fleshed out for what’s essentially still a shoot-em-up.

    And that one scene was a brilliant subversion! Very well integrated into the narrative, too!

      Yeah, the Strogg were awesome in Q4. I think Q2 is still a better game (especially with the multiplayer!) But the detail they went into with the world in Q4 was just awesome.

      Q4 is a good game, it’s just not a good Quake game. Same deal with Doom 3.

      I loved Strauss. Great comic relief.

        Yes, completely agree, Raven have produced great stories framed by solid gameplay with neat twists every now and again. It does feel Of The Times™, that weapn upgrade system simply HAD to be there:)))
