        >learning another language
        if someone can't speak english, then quite frankly I have nothing to say to them.

        >an instrument
        Why? Even with thousands of hours of practice you'll be mediocre at best. It's all about talent which you probably don't have.

        >something else tbqh
        but it feels like a boring chore so you game instead.

    What other Quake games are there? It's pretty much Quake and maybe Quake 2. Quake 4 is a rancid piece of shit, and by far the worst of the Id Tech 4 games.

      What's wrong with Quake 4? I really liked it, it's a solid shooter.
      Are you one of those morons who thinks Quake 2 is shit because its not a carbon copy of Quake?

      The name is a leftover from when the game was envisioned as more of a traditional fantasy experience (inspired by some of Carmack's DnD sesions), with "Quake" being the main character's name.

    playing Alkaline right now and it's better than any recent shooter I can think of, so yeah? if you count custom maps.
    quake 2 is just OK, but call of the machine is worth trying.

    quake 3 is just quake live now, same experience.
    quake 4 is a weird dudebro military shooter of the time but has some cool ideas and gets more fun once you get your new "abilities", I didn't bother finishing it but it might be some peoples cup of tea

    As apposed to what, Quake champions?
    Anyway, yes they are. Quake 1 and 2 are both great. The reason Quake is dead today it because it took the multiplayer pill so hard.

    Quake 1 is amazing for its atmosphere mixing gothic castles and industrial military bases. I liked the monsters in 1 more than what we got in 2, they're more memorable and unique and the chemistry between them makes for cool fights and oh shit moments.
    2 is bigger but lost a lot of the soul 1 had.

    they're boring and simple. this is coming from somebody who has seen pictures of cooller in the hot tub in the early 2000s. the update expansion from last year was ok to play through. they're on par with modern boomer shooters, so if you like those you'll probably like quake.

        the level design has aged like milk and quake feels like baby's literal first fps so it's shocked that it can throw enemies into a 3d map and goes full head on moronic and adds a bunch of gimmick enemies that are worse than the simplistic 2d doom enemies

      no but you might be considering you defend bad game design and argue it's good and somehow think anyone in their right mind today would actually play quake and it become popular again
      shitty indie clones of your games have more popularity than your game

            I'm the OP moron, and have been playing Quake during this entire time.
            It's an extremely fun but foreboding and eerie game.
            Never played it before so have no nostalgia, it's great.

          Is it bad design that your sword gets deflected by armour in W101?
          Is it bad design your attacks get blocked sometimes in fighting games and you need to use overheads?

        All the monster AI and weapon tweaks in copper are present regardless of difficulty, but yeah Nightmare is the difficulty directly changed by the mod as well.
        I just think players should start on Hard regardless of whether or not they mod. Medium isn't that challenging and gets people used to bad habits about tanking damage from shamblers and fiends.

    Play the Quake 1 rerelease with all the official campaigns, then download Ironwail and play Arcane Dimensions, then download the halloween & christmas map packs from the last 5 or so years.
