Incline PC Gamer: We're in an FPS golden age

[Unkillable Cat]

When is CODEX writing an article proclaiming this to be the golden age of RPG's?

Where were you in 2014?

Somewhere else, celebrating the golden age of Adventure games.

The first part was on point, but the video after "what the hell happened" was a bit dishonest, since most people who play Quake, especially the first time, don't do any of this shit with that kind of speed and finesse.

Well, it depends what message he intends to convey. I agree that it's not how your average gamer would play Quake, I know I'm nowhere near that skilled at *any* FPS. But the fact that it's possible to play Quake in such a fast paced manner if you've mastered it is pretty impressive.

No one here can play quake this way and neither can your average single player fag.
Still, nice quakedad skills and first part was funny.

That's pretty much the only way to play Quake. Everyone who plays Quake somewhat seriously will sooner or later master the movement (or give up pretty soon). There's a (Q3) mod, defrag, which was quite popular, which focused solely on mastering movement, trickjumping and speedrunning. If you don't play Quake like that, you're playing it wrong.

Yeah, but we're not talking about people who are playing it seriously. I tend to see the same shit when people bring up the original DOOM: yeah, it's fantastic how fast and crazy it can get, but the beauty of the game was that it worked as well as a more atmospheric actiony dungeon crawler, especially back in the day. It's how every kewl video about Ytube always focuses on the WOW FUCKING AWESOME VIOLENCE SHOOT THOSE FUCKERS aspect of doom which seems to be the impression that nuDOOM was made with in mind as well, and we can clearly see it's not quite the game DOOM was.

Yeah, good skill-based fps are dead because people can't be arsed to git gud. And it's not even that bad, because there's really not much to improve upon in games like Quake 3. Just sad that there are no players anymore. Nowadays we have shit like Overwatch and Quake Champions. Golden age my ass.

The levels weren't designed to be played like that.

Rocket jumping works in multiplayer because everyone can use it, but it really breaks the singleplayer campaign.

I have a 12 year old brother that plays the shit out of this game and I can't find the appeal of it.
