I should try Quake 4. I thought of replaying Quake 2 recently, partly for nostalgia reasons, but abandoned the thought in ~2 seconds. (I never played it more than a little bit from the beginning anyway, although that was a long time ago. Whatever. There must be far better shooters around by now.)

 

[bhlaab]

Quake 2 is one of the most poorly aged games ever. The single player campaign is godawful.

Which is ironic, because the people who talk about Fallout fans living with rose-tinted glasses will always end up defending that piece of shit

 

[Brotherman Bill]

I second quake 4. It was exactly what you'd think it would be: A moderately good SP shooter.

Also, FEAR is pretty good.

 

[Paula Tormeson IV]

Fallout is great. People who think old games can't be great don't even reach the level of manboon and therefore do not register with me as anything more than background noise not worth bothering about. These are usually twelve year old children, some of whom may eventually grow to become men.

Yeah Quake4 still has solid graphics (almost as good as Prey), and it spices things up from time to time. Certainly it is linear but I don't expect anything else. And I loved the part where I am running on the planet surface outdoors and the giant ass ship is landing nearby. And then I go INSIDE IT, and there are mechs being tuned and shit. There's a lot of environment detail in that game.

That's because Quake 2 was in fact good for what it was, unlike, say, Doom3, which suffered for trying to be Half Life on mars and failing miserably at that.

Of the games i've played recently, the two that stand out the most based on the topic of this thread are Elite (Archimedes version) and Stronghold. Up until very recently i never even heard of either game but somehow i found both to be extremely addicting. I got so hooked on the Elite for a while i even bothered to read the shitty mini-novel that comes with it. The writing was abysmal but i did like the fact you could get a few interesting hints just by reading it.

In short, the rose-tinted glasses theory is busted.

No. No, it was bad for what it was. Daikatana may have been full of bad ideas, but at least it had ideas.

 

[shihonage]

Quake 2 was great in co-op, and the only game after Doom 2 to retain the Doom spirit.

Like Doom3 (7 years later), at its time, it had groundbreaking graphics, and, like Doom 3, levels were "sameness", but unlike Doom 3, you could SEE SHIT, and it had these cool outdoor breather areas and much better enemy designs.

A cyborg with unfolding chaingun arm is badass. Borg shield dudes were cool. The walking tank bosses with rocket launchers and machineguns were like Cyberdemon and Spiderdemon merged together.

 

[oldmanpaco]

Q2 CTF was all kinds of awesome in the mid 90's.

Anyway I played a lot of GalCiv II and its expansions in the last couple of years. Good stuff.
