Can we all agree taht Q2 shits all over Q1?
Tekken 3 is better than Tekken 2.
Streets of Rage 3 is better than Streets of Rage 2.
Your opinions are wrong.
>Tekken 3 is better than Tekken 2.
no.
No.
super smash bros and zelda on nintendo64 is better desu desu
Even old, dank EGA games are better than Quake II, m8.
>>3030406
That's something a pleb would say and as I am a patrician to the utmost degree I will not utter it.
>>3030406
no. The music and atmopshere, and the level design are all much blander and boring than quake.
Quake was an experience, a culmination of all of IDs tech and design. Quake 2 was a bland modern shooter made to sell copies.
>>3030406
Absolutely not, you contrary bastard.
>Quake 1 is better
Quake 2 SP is a boring slog through the most generic Sci-Fi possible.
Multiplayer is okay.
I always liked 2 better than 1
>>3030406
The only good thing about Quake 2 was the rocking soundtrack and multiplayer at the time, although the slow weapon change sucked ass. Single player was abysmal.
The reason I like Quake is good atmosphere, good weapons, and amazing level design
Quake 2 has none of that. But hey! Multiplayer!
How does anyone prefer Q2 multiplayer over Q1 with the absolutely shitty weapon selections? Q1's weapons switch instantly and it has the best fucking rocket launcher in the history of FPS.
Oh look another /v/ thread. How wonderful. Now we can enjoy /v/ without having to go to /v/.
This thread again?
>>3030406
>Can we all agree taht Q2 shits all over Q1?
heh
>>3030406
I prefer the single player of Q2, but Q1 had the better multiplayer, and more interesting settings.
>>3030406
No. The big thing Q2 had going for it were mods.
That's hardly a straightforward betterness, is it?
>>3035831
>mods
>not the best thing that could happen to a video game
Get a load of this peasant.
>>3036054
DAFUQ?
Quake 1 had lots of addon content too, just not as much originally, probably also not messing as deeply into the game mechanics, which of course became irrelevant with all the source ports and such.
>>3030406
I don't agree, actually. Yes, Q2 is more coherent, but Quake 1 was more interesting in terms of story and potential, and Q1's soundtrack is unbeatable. I use it to read horror stories (read all Lovecraft with it).
Q2 is still good, Q4 is its worthy sequel, played it recently. But Q1 has a special place. I hope it gets a real sequel some day.
Q1 is the odd one out in the franchise. It's basically Doom rebooted with Lovecraft.
>poor single player
>subpar multiplayer
Yeah, no. Q1 is vastly superior in every single fucking way.
>>3037062
>I hope it gets a real sequel some day
Don't give Id ideas. If they mess up Doom, I will be disappointed, but not broken. The Quake series is the real relic of classic PC shooters, and I want its purity to remain true.
>>3037090
Subsequent games do not change previous games. Same with movies. You can never ruin the past.
>>3037090
>Don't give Id ideas.
That was John Romero's job. He left them and they've never done anything good since.
>>3030406
Yes, anon. YES. I'll go even further. Q2 shits all over Q3 *equips protective shield*
>>3030406
Q2 has better MP.
Q1 has better music, aesthetic, and level design.
>>3037432
>Q2 has better MP.
>rockets move slower than the player do
>input lag on the railgun
>general sludgier slower gameplay
yeah much better mp m8. have you considered suicide btw?
>>3037220
>You can never ruin the past.
Tell that to George Lucas.
>>3030406
Its singleplayer did shit on the 1st one, so yeah, i can agree with that. Still, it is bait thread and you are a faggot.
>>3037062
>Quake 1 was more interesting in terms of story
Oh, you mean those two lines at README.txt? Yeah, they were truly a masterspiece.
>and potential
What's that even supposed to mean?
>Q1's soundtrack is unbeatable
That's an opinions war, but Q2 soundtrack is at least on par with it.
>>3038293
I think he mean atmosphere anon. And I have to agree. There weren't a lot of Lovecraftian-based games at the time and even now there are more but they pale in comparison to the stories of alien invasion, which have been in various media since the 50s in various forms. Quake 1 definitely had s more unique basis when it comes to the atmosphere.
Both are great, Quake 1 wins in my book though. Quake 1 was scary. Quake 2, on the other hand, gave me fascination with cyborgs and grenade launchers for hands.
>>3041409
Both the strogg and the forces of quake are m favorite enemy designs. Aesthetically and mechanically.
>>3030406
I grew up with Quake 2, a friend dragged me into Quake 1 after we all had extensively wasted our time away with it and the beautiful mods people had made for it. While said friend and his Quake 1 buddies always praised the game I could never really come to like it. It always boiled down to "Quake 1 needs real skill, it's the real Quake" but Quake 1 just felt bland to me.
>>3041409
Ahh, the ironing. The berserker is always out to give you an ironing.
>>3041409
TRESSPASSAH
>>3030406
It's literally a different franchise; the name was used for technical and legal reasons. The two games are incomparable.
>>3031065
There's absolutely nothing wrong with being contrary. Being contrary confers the benefit of being right much of the time. Problem is he's wrong and a fag.
>>3037062
Q1's soundtrack was good for the context, not unbeatable.
>>3042552
Punish, punish!
>>3030406
People just don't like Quake2 that much. It's a clunky overly dramatic single player experiment. It should just lumped into joint threads together with Terminator Future Shock.
>>3042770
>technical and legal reasons.
Any more details on this? I've always wondered why iD did that
>>3044363
Eh, the way I heard it is that 'all the good names are taken, I give up let's just call it Quake 2.'
>>3030417
This guy is right, also Quake 1 is better because it's soundtrack
>>3030406
Quake III was better than those 2 combined
I really like Quake 2's setting, the Strogg and the desperate struggle from both sides to stay alive.
>>3046282
Q1>Q3>Q2
Q1 has the best SP out of all them - it was good, and best MP on all them and actually all FPS games period.
Q3 has the second best MP of all FPS games and the SP is just MP which is okay if you like MP but disappointing if you were looking for a world to jog around in and explore.
Q2 MP shouldn't even be on this list it's that bad and the SP is okay at best. At least it looks good for it's time.
>>3048162
I think Prey had a much cooler take on the cyborg alien invaders thing.
>>3053164
Unfortunately I have yet to play it. But I remain doubtful it will overtake my Stroyent based boner.
>>3053216
It's a pretty good game. Disregarding the setting, it's pretty much what Doom 3 should have been. Only bad thing (and it's a big one) is the shitty death minigame.
Does anyone have a Download of the DirectQ II sourceport of Quake 2?
It _was_ released at some point (see link below) but all the webpages related to it have gone offline and I can't for the love of my life find a download for it.
I loved the DirectQ port for the original Quake since it was barebones and kept the vanilla graphics.
