Just beat Quake today, I really enjoyed it despite some of the shortcomings like the enemy repetition. If anybody wants to talk about the single-player side of the game hey let's give it a shot.
I'm actually playing through for the first time right now too, really enjoying it, the weapons are a ton of fun to use. Anyone know a good place to look for rocket jump/bunnyhopping maps?
>>342925545
Pure class level design all around, John Romero had some of his best maps in this, shame he ended up leaving.
>>342925545
The amount of secrets and hidden passages in the game is outstanding
check any 100% speedrun video on yt
>>342925676
I wouldn't call the weapons a ton of fun to use, the double shotgun feels unnecessary and hearing grenade bouncing noises the entire game gets annoying fast.
Q1 is one of two good games by id IMHO
>>342926990
Higher DPS alone makes it better than standard shotgun in everything other than precision.
I liked it too.
>>342925545
the mission packs are also pretty good too, I'd check them out

Congrats, Quake 1 has the best/most logical bunnyhopping.
>due to shitty new doom countless people on /v/ are finally playing quake and realizing it's head and shoulders above doom
this day makes me so happy. Here, have an image i made the other day.
I was there, ask me anything.
>>342925676
Quakeworld discord would be the best place
>>342926990
youve just got to figure out how much damage enemies need to take and how many shots from each weapon
doom is the same after a while you will just know how many rockets or ssg the the face a barron will take etc
>>342928656
I have never been able to get the hang of Q1/GoldSrc bunnyhopping. As soon as I start jumping without W I slow to a halt.
Q2/3A's strafejumping is much easier.
>>342928761
Shambler: flesh or fur?
>>342925545
what source port did you use? and GL or software?
>>342928761
Above which Doom?I like classic Doom and 4 a lot, along with Quake 1-3 a lotI didn't like 4 very much, felt like it needed something more.
>>342931219
gold src doesn't work unless you spam the jump command with a script of mousewheel
it's pretty easy to understand you just strafe midair and turn in the same direction that is literally it
For me Quake is that one series I really want to love but just can't.
The first one has some great monsters and level design, but I didn't find the guns fun to use and the monsters felt a bit like bullet sponges, barely reacting to your shots and even when you kill them, all of them just fall down, which is really lame if you compare it to Doom where monsters would split open or explode when killed.
Quake 2 was more my thing but the weapons didn't have a muzzle flash which was incredibly off putting for me, also the graphics haven't ages as gracefully as Quake's.
Maybe one day they'll remake Quake 1 and 2 in HD and fix some of my issues with it.
Played some Quake 1 multiplayer last night to pay my respek for its birthday. Is it just me or is that entire game relying on dominating the rocket launcher spawn? The only exception is when the defender gets picked off by a lightning gun.
>>342931594
>maybe one day they'll
why don't you fix it faggot? These are moddable gaymes
>>342931594
>even when you kill them, all of them just fall down
So you never actually killed the zombies. Interesting.
>>342931695
I don't know how
There is Quake 1.5 which sort of addresses my issue with Quake 1's weapons, although I have yet to find a mod that adds a muzzle flash to Quake 2's weapons.
Just beat Doom. Will I like Quake?
>>342931594
Quake 2 doesn't need a port to fix the awful jittery animations of 1
>>342931594
It's literally DOOM in 3d
how can somebody not liking it

What a ridiculous ad. It's also pretty hilarious how accurate it ended up being considering the impact of Quake.
>>342931367
Great. This thread inspired me to check out Quake and the link your pic provides leads to a page saying the content has been removed. Thanks retard.
>>342932045
idk, quake is important, see pic related and GlQuake is especially important for the 3D accelerator rise, aka the modern GPU but is it more important or influential than Wolf 3D, DOOM or older games?
>>342932140
You probably wouldn't like the game anyway, then, if you're too braindead to google "how 2 play quack download."
>>342931912
Now I played both Doom and Quake recently for the first time a few years ago and loved Doom from the get-go, whereas Quake disappointed me.
They're very different in tone and gameplay.
In Doom you're fighting dozens of enemies at once with metal music playing in the background.
In Quake you'll fight about 6 enemies at best (or like 10 if it's only zombies) with barely any music. I'm sorry but half of Quake's soundtrack is just noises. The only song I can remember is Hall of Souls and that's because it had a cool riff like 4 minute sin.
In Doom the both shotguns had a reload animation which made them feel great.
In Quake both shotguns feel really lacking, they might as well have called the first shotgun a pistol and the second one a shotgun but even then it has no reload animation and it does pathetic damage for the speed.
>>342926990
>hearing grenade bouncing noises the entire game gets annoying fast.
>implying that TING TING TING isn't one of the best sounds ever
Q1 has fantastic sound design all around thanks to Reznor. Something as simple as picking up armor is boner-inducing.
>>342932045
they also stated that Doom would be the greatest game ever made and "wolfenstein x1000" before they even began working on it
The granny in that picture is dead by now

>In Quake both shotguns feel really lacking, they might as well have called the first shotgun a pistol and the second one a shotgun but even then it has no reload animation
The first shotgun is essentially a pistol, except it doesn't fucking suck like Doom's pistol and is always useful as a midrange hitscan weapon for taking out Scrags and Spawns.
> and it does pathetic damage for the speed.
It does just over twice the damage of the single shotgun for twice the ammo and only fires 30% slower. You're spoiled by Doom's SSG that does almost THREE times as much damage as the single.
>>342932173
Since Quake, Doom and Wolf3D are all make by the same team (more or less), yes I will give Quake the most influential title.
I'd give Doom the bigger cultural impact and Quake the technological one.
>>342932651
>You're spoiled by Doom's SSG that does almost THREE times as much damage as the single.
That's why it's called a SUPER shotgun. Because it feels super. Maybe it is overpowered but it's way more fun to use than Quake's SSG
>>342933559
It's absolutely overpowered. Quake's gun isn't a SSG, it's a Double-Barrel Shotgun according to the Manual.
It's better balanced. Is it less fun? Sure. That's why you get a rocket launcher.
>>342925545
Lack of boss fights was really lame.
>>342928761
DooM > Quake
love them both, but you can suck my cock you filthy fag
