What in the actual fuck.

Since we are talking about Romero, what do you think about his take on Quake 4?

>Quake 4 is where the brand went off the rails. Doom and Quake were mashed up together - looking at Quake 4 you can't tell whether you're in a Doom game or a Quake game. There was biomechanical stuff that belonged in Doom. It was dark like Doom 3. It didn't feel like Quake. Having said that, none of [the later] Quakes did since the original was based on HP Lovecraft and alternate dimensions. That's the pillar that held Quake together.
—John Romero, Retro Gamer.

Is he right here /doom/? I feel like he's a bit harsh on the game just for it having a biomechanical horror aesthetic (something that was in Quake II and even the first game) and using the Doom 3 engine. Besides those aspects I think it bears little resemblance to Doom.

You'll be switching alot in IF as well, in all these build games actually; you can actually cancel your reload in IF with a switch, for example.
I agree with >>7404468 in Wang being the most fun protagonist while also finding IF to have the most fun shooting. Expectations are also a big thing here, it took me a few before I got used to IF having weapon mechanics beyond basic build standards.
