/vr/ - Retro Games

Doom is my favorite videogame of all time, so I tried Quake the other day, which for some reason I never played.

I'm really having a hard time liking the singleplayer portion of the game. It's nowhere near as fun and solid as Doom was.

>Color pallete is really dull and consists of a lot of brown
>Music is dull too. I get they were going for a more ambient soundtrack but it just doesn't fit.
>Not having an action button really takes the fun out of finding secrets
>The arsenal consists of 4 weapons and a more powerfull version of 3 of them
>Enemy variety is also very reduced compared to Doom 2. While Doom had 3 varieties of soldier, quake has only 1.
>Level design is more claustrophobic. A matter of taste but I think doom had more variety between open and tight levels.
>They throw you ammo like it is candy. It's impossible to run out.

The game was clearly designed with multiplayer in mind. The campaign so far has been a borefest. Romero didn't want to make this game and it shows.

Is quake 2 any better?
