worth it?
>>321228558
worth what?
the game is fuckin free
>>321228672
no it isn't
>>321228558
are you a bad enough dude to git gud?
if yes, then very
>>321228558
Yes.
>>321228672
No it isn't, dumbass.
>>321228672
>>321228738
holy shit hes right, theyre charging $10 for it now, what the fuck is this
THANKS VALVE
>>321228871
its a forced pro account but i was never sure if a pro account was worth it
I'm not about to buy it off the sale
>>321228558
Play UT4 or Reflex instead.
>>321228871
>THANKS VALVE
You're a fucking retard.
>>321229013
This, unless your computer is really a toaster.
Reflex is Quake but smoother and generally prettier, Unreal Tournament is free UT and it's great
>>321228976
Its been a while since I booted it up, apparently the old launcher is dead and now you have to buy it on steam?
How populated is it? I mean it was pretty dead before and this must have made it worse right?
I wouldnt pay $10 to find out, but I might pay $2
>>321229013
cant run ut4 on an hd3000 and reflex is a million dollars
Quake live is awesome. Worth 10bucks
>>321229030
>free
>goes on steam
>old launcher closes
>LOL NOT FREE
go ahead and explain it then
>>321229257
>How populated is it? I mean it was pretty dead before and this must have made it worse right?
1k players daily. Not bad for a game this age.
Game was free for previous owners, by the way.
>>321229343
It's still free if you had an account.
The point is that it's not valve's fault, dumdum.
>>321229262
Reflex's 10 bucks too, innit?
>>321229262
It's $5.
>>321229262
reflex is 10 bucks
>>321229590
damn, you're right, I think I'll have to buy it now. although I have no idea how popular it is. will I find any players in yurop?
>>321230198
I can pretty much always find a game.
>>321229505
>It's still free if you had an account.
but apparently they closed a bunch of accounts...great
>>321230414
what modes? does it have CA equivalent?
>>321228738
>>321228779
hey you're right, it isn't free anymore.
no. it's not worth it.
>>321230807
it's two dollars and removes the bullshit subscription system and adds integrated steam features. it's cheaper than fucking quake 3 is on steam and unless you play cpm then theres no reason to have quake 3 over this.
reflex is like $5
>>321229013
UT4 sucks and Reflex is deader than CPMA.
>>321230939
Not him but does it still have the loadout horseshit they implemented a while back?
reflex has fucking microtransactions right on the store page
does QL have this bullshit?
>>321231682
Good. Shame it isn't free anymore but for $2 I can't really complain.
>>321228558
If you enjoy a gay cocksucker whispering "quad damage~" into your ear oh so often... yeah
>>321231892
Quake 3 announcer is my husbando.
>>321231660
it's still a feature in the game but none of the servers actually use it, so it doesn't matter. oh yeah, and now people actually own the servers they host, they aren't rented out shit. the game is just a more featured vq3, so unless you play cmpa then there's really no reason to have q3 over live.
>>321228871
halariously i did noticed it was $10 on steam but it says that it in my library for download since i did download it early during the time when it had loadout that time so i did got the game for free
quake live is fucking dog shit and anyone who thinks it's good has never played q3a
>>321232468
>being this angry about a surge of new life into the game
I know this is just hipster bullshit, but shut up m8, no one cares.
>>321231784
Oh no. Melee cosmetics that you're never going to see. Whatever are we going to do?
downloading UT now, because quake live servers went to shit
>>321232909
yea but thats a pretty big fuckup when you think about the target market
people who play games like quake and UT grew up on them when micro transactions were not a thing and, on the whole, probably find the concept more offensive than the average person
video games have changed m8, and the audience they are after has not changed with them
Can I make UT run on a laptop?
>>321228558
maybe they will make it free again someday
>>321233540
guess so, quake live runs on mine
Quake live got fucked, it's no longer the same game that quake 3 arena was and it's not that good.
If you want great quake style arena shooter ,get Reflex. It's 5 bucks and it's developed by the guys who worked on CPMA for quake 3 arena. Also a ton of old quake 3 players migrated there from quake live. The game is faster paced and the movement is amazing. The community is small but it's growing, when I got in I could only get 1v1s, now there are arena tdm, ctf and race servers populated every evening. The game is early access but the devs are working hard as fuck pushing content really fast and the gameplay part is pretty much done, they are now working on social features, matchmaking, tutorials and more graphical assets. Also the game has an amazing map editor if you are into that kind of thing and steam workshop support is coming.
There is a christmas event going on right now at arenafps channel on twitch so you can check out some gameplay.
toda
>>321233691
We're talking Bethesda here, the same company that advertises Doom and Quake as "Bethesda classics."
>>321234037
But can it run on a toaster? And I am talking a real proper toaster.
>>321234037
yeah i bought it yesterday im an arena fps noob but im having a lot of fun.
Isn't Reflex deader than Quake
>>321233353
I grew up with UT and Quak and I don't give a shit that somebody will get a cosmetic item as a revard for backing the game. Contain your autism, anon.
>>321234349
Probably about the same. At today's peak there was 103 people playing which is pretty dead but I can pretty much always find a game.
>>321234189
I have a laptop with 4gb ram, intel i3 and Nvidia GT520M. I run on around 60fps on that with everything on low except the pretty maps with tons of meshes lag for me. On my main machine I have simmilar spec except a better graphics and I can max out on Ultra and geat above 60fps. Also the devs said there is a ton of optimisation to be done so it should get better over time. I still prefer to play with everything on low tho, the game still looks ok.
>>321233353
The devs literally said they did the skins to let players donate while giving them something small in return. The skins are completely non intrusive.
>>321234904
>>321234349
The Reflex community is not dead, it's growing. The devs even said they don't want to advertise the game that much before they have matchmaking,tutorials and friends lists in so that if a surge of new players comes in they don't get turned away from the game due to the fact that they jump into server with a pro and get demolished. The matchmaking is planned on next patch afaik.
>>321234736
oh good, clearly you represent the entire market, i take it all back
>>321235805
do you?
>>321233353
>>321236235
Anon is right. Microtransactions are never a good thing, cosmetic or not. Back in my day you could unlock cosmetic items with good old fashioned playing the game
>>321231354
Took both of these screenshots like 4 minutes ago, top is reflex, bottom is cpm.
>>321236959
dead as shit
>>321236959
Oh fuck me I'm retarded.
>>321228558
just get regular quake on steam asshole
>>321228558
no but this is
>>321228558
do you think you're good at counter-strike?
if the answer is yes, then 100% play quake live so you can see how shit CS is
if the answer is no, then you're a good boy for never trying in that game. now buy quake live and become a man
>>321237113
>quake live with pretty colors and early access
>>321228871
Good thing I added it to my steam library when they came to steam. Got it for free and locked in for life. No $10 bullshit for me.
>>321236485
orly? What kind of cosmetic items you used to unlock while playing Q3 for example?
>>321236485
>Back in my day you could unlock cosmetic items with good old fashioned playing the game
so like 5 years ago?
god I hate christmas break
>>321234037
does the strafe jumping require similar git gud as quake live?
>>321237426
i was pretty sceptical myself because earlyu access etc but it's much more fleshed out than i was expecting and i prefer it to quake and they aren't identical
>>321233353
>>321236485
it honestly doesn't matter at all, quit it with your greater than thou attitude about cosmetic crap your not impressing anyone here
also quake live players have been kicking new players from matches without a reason
great community
>>321238318
yes and it's more interesting and gives you more options
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gt99wfDKP9U
>>321228558
>>321228672
>>321228738
>>321228871
if you've had the game installed on steam during the period it was free, it's still free for you even now. since steam detects it on your account and considers it "bought" or what have you.
>>321238327
>it honestly doesn't matter at all, quit it with your greater than thou attitude about cosmetic crap your not impressing anyone here
I dont think you understand the point.
>>321238778
it affects absolutely nothing, and is a way for people to support the game outside of buying other copies. people like you will find anything to bitch about.
>>321238778
yeah your point is that it wasn't necessary back in the day and wasn't a thing
but these days it's pretty much expected to have some kind of customisation with items or character
it will never be anything but cosmetics and won't affect gameplay so no problem unless i'm missing something here?
>>321230498
they closed mine and I would have to pay to play it even though it was on my steam
fuck these fags seriously I refuse to pay them
>>321228558
Eh it's $1.99 and used to be free... in fact this was $1.99 yesterday too.. . None of the prices are gonna change for this year Winter Sale are they?
God this is such a shit sale it's just like the Fall Sale...
>>321238527
fuck that seems cool
>>321228558
I'm not good at arena fps and I get a little fun out of it. I got it while it was still free, but I would still pay $5 for it. $2 is a great price in my opinion.
Does that guy still post in /v/ that hosts U99, UT2k4? I'm thinking about buying U99 but have no friends interested in it.
>>321239363
>even though it was on my steam
it sounds like you might be ok
>>321237471
>>321238708
>>321239643
no it tells me to pay
i had 30+ hours and a review which was negative because of loadouts
im guessing that's why they closed my shit
im still not gonna pay them or ever play quake live again
its bullshit how they did me
>>321238708
I swear this is bullshit because I played it on steam for about 2 matches when it was free and then I uninstalled it. Steam still made me buy it when it went paid.
>>321239114
>people like you will find anything to bitch about
I know you dont understand the point.
>>321239275
youre thinking that the people who are going to buy and play reflex are your standard lol fallout 4 and CSGO types
Im saying that, inherently, is not who this sort of game appeals to.
>>321239898
>those generalisations
you'd be surprised
Reflex won't ever go anywhere because it isn't free and UT is free along with a guaranteed marketing budget when its released
skill gap won't matter, unless reflex changes its pricing model, it's kill. a new IP can't go against a free UT, not at all
>b-b-but its so good
doesn't matter. UT is free, Reflex isn't. It's that simple. Reflex's population is going to go from low to literally dead weeks after UT is done
>>321239898
what point? the one where you make a baseless assumption and then when someone comes in and says "nah i don't give a shit" you just dismiss it because its anecdotal. i've played my fair share of arena shooters and couldn't give less of a fuck about these skins. they affect nothing in the game of any importance. what grounds are you speaking from? do you come from the kind of community that plays this type of game? this game does have a target audience, yes, very sharply defined audience i agree, but that doesn't mean it can't attract new players, and cosmetics are just a new standard that can boost support of a small scale indie title and have people with fancy stuff in game.
>>321239762
quake live had absolutely cunty support long before going to steam. I suddenly got banned for cheating even tho i hadn't played the game for half a year. I wrote to support that the ban had to be a mistake and they just sent me a bot response. Wrote a few more times and just gave it up after that.
>>321240865
I've been thinking this since UT was announced. I really don't see how reflex is going to compete with the marketing power of Epic and the game being free
>>321240312
the direction fps as a genre has taken suggests otherwise
>>321241061
>that doesn't mean it can't attract new players, and cosmetics are just a new standard that can boost support of a small scale indie title and have people with fancy stuff in game.
lol, ok buddy, I strongly disagree with that, but you go on believing what you want
>>321240865
They are at very simmilar points in development. They both have players. I play both. They are very different games. It's going to be ok.
>>321228558
yeah for $1.99 it's basically the only decent populated arena shooter right now and it's actually pretty nice through steam the interface is better and logging in is seamless. i like
>>321240865
UT isn't competing with reflex
but toxikk sure is
there is also this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anrlw5nebJ0
>>321241441
jeez this guy is asspained about cosmetics it's obvious ou don't even play these games...
>>321241120
it was fun while I did play
I played since it was in browser only
its just the wrong people got ahold of it
>>321241441
what are you talking about? you act like i'm preaching that reflex has all the makings of a runaway success. do you lack comprehension skills or are you such an antagonistic dipshit that you'll find fault in anything dissenting? people like this shit. cs go was pretty fucking slow to start but is now a top played steam game, if you think all of them are seasoned cs go players you are retarded. skins definitely got new people on board too. most past cs players don't give a fuck about the skin, if they did they're a minority or just plain hate cs go over 1.6
>>321241789
>everyone who disagrees with me is butthurt
go away reddit
>>321242274
no he's butthurt for no reason and can't explain himself at all
i'd take his comments seriously if could actually present a legitimate argument against the cosmetics...
>>321241142
i think quake live is still the gold standard. ut4 has a lot going for it but it doesn't come anywhere close to satisfying the quake itch. i'm mostly looking for a tribes mod coming out of ut4 rather than the successor to quake
>>321239762
no one read your negative reviews you fucking mong
god damn you are one stupid motherfucker
>>321242843
why else would they close it
>>321228558
Quake 3 Arena is one of the best video games and programs ever created.
It is worth paying 100$ to play it.
Quakelive is visualized retard help wheels bike for braindead normies.
>>321234037
>>321235303
>>321237078
Alright, purchased.
all the best quake players still play quake live. it's still the only one worth playing.
/thread
>>321243413
They're the same fucking game.
I played it more than 6 months ago...then I found out its only $2 right now so I went to buy it and then found out that it was already in my Library so I got it for free..so if you played it within the last year you probably have it already and don't realize it.
>>321243817
hahahahahahahahahahahaha, this nigga
>>321244069
what is different, genuinely curious
>>321244287
railgun is nerfed that I know of
>>321243817
nah live is an "improved" version
something they don't mention is that nobody played vanilla q3a rather they play q3 mods
