I think of quake 4. I like quake 4. It was not directed towards the original quake audience, though, which is why it’s a bad quake game. It’s kinda the same story with Quake Wars: Enemy Territory.
I’d say it’s a very similar thing with Doom 3. Q4 and D3 are both cinematic, linear, horror shooters, and they’re awesome in that regard. They fail at being movement shooters for the most part.
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:)))
I genuinely enjoyed Quake 4, it got a lot of hate however on its own I would still defend it as being incredibly fun (at least for me).
They could have just sent him into the woods instead of nonexistence 😭
Ngl kinda wish i could be evaporated 🙈
