Shubnigger is not Quake.

I feel like Quake in general turned to become this.. intangible force of evil behind all the things happening in Quake universe, like a malevolent force and then the various other evil guy lord dudes were just thrown into it like a hodgepodge.

The base game's lore doesn't matter, Quake was originally supposed to be the protagonist and the lore is just last minute mumbo jumbo they threw together because Quake's development was so scuffed and Id Software was internally coming apart at the seams.

I enjoyed it as a kid on release but holy shit it's unplayable now. Absolutely the worst mouse controls of any game I've played as well.

this came out within a day of super mario 64

Quake being dead isn't the fault of "zoomers". Why does fightcade have hundreds of players for fighting games, but all Quake games (a FPS, much more popular than fighting games) are laughably dead with players in the single digits for QW/CPM and only in the low hundreds for Live/Champs? I'll tell you why.

>an actually toxic manbaby community hostile to new players
>people only playing singleplayer modes and nobody getting them into multiplayer
>very stupid people thinking the next indie VQ3 or CPM clone would become a smash hit and save arena FPS
>a large population of LARPers that pretend like they were good at multiplayer Quake spreading lies and soiling all discussion about the game

There is no reason Quakeworld, Quake 2, VQ3, CPM, Quake 4 shouldn't have at least 100 players each and live and champions not at least 1000 each. It's not because "zoomers" won't play "such a hard game bro". It's because the BOOMERS fucked up and did not keep Quake MP alive and preferred to LARP, piss, and moan about everything rather than play the game.

The best retro FPS ever made

Was Doom actually that revolutionary? I like Doom, but as far as DOSgames go. I preferred DN3D's gameplay. I've also been playing/taking an interest in games like Daggerfall, Quake, Ultima Underworld, and System Shock, which do some very impressive things for their release dates.

i love the level design, sound design & atmosphere of quake but i really hate the enemy & weapon variety

Name one (1) flaw

You can't.
