/vr/ - Retro Games

Finished Quake 2 for a first time this weekend, just have killed Makron. Tried it couple of times during last 15 years, but both time dropped around prison/tank boss. Can say that overall it is not as bad as I remember, I quite liked enemy variety and their different behavior. Though 3-4 enemies max at the same time and extremely bland map layout don't provide much fun. Just the meat processing/prison/tank area is really the lowest point of the game. First area is nice, later areas actually has some textures except brown and some better verticality. Palace area looks and plays okay. In comparison, I detest Sandy's shizoid maps in Doom2 and in Q1E4, but even they would be much better than Q2 midgame crap. Would it be better for me to go with Doom3 now, or first try Ground Zero pack? I also have Q4 in queue, but it requires more setup.
