3+ ogres in every single room starts to wear thin pretty quickly. I get that they finally had a physics engine and true 3D environments unlike DooM and they needed to show those things off but it's just not nearly as fun.

>> No.10450645

isn't there some trick to beating ogres easily? do they have a weakness? i can't remember.

quake's single player sucks

The game can be completed in a couple of hours, the mission packs are not particularly good either.

Agreed. Episode 4 is the best because it uses zombies as the common enemy instead. Quake could be vastly improved by making both the player and the enemies do double damage at all times.
>>10450645
Quad damage.

My experience was I would walk into an empty room
Take a few steps forward
Enemies teleport into the room behind me
Every fucking time

I never had trouble with ogres. Just dodge their grenades, or bait them into a chainsaw attack.
Quickest way to get them is two rockets or four SSG blasts.

yeah, i think the strat i heard for these guys was to bait the chainsaw attack.

Multiplayer was literally an afterthought for Doom and didn't even exist in Wolfenstein and Keen, zoomie.

quake can be beaten in a few hours even if you take your long ass time.
quake is shit let's be real, i love it as a game but i never play it. doom is simply better and

Weapons in Quake suck ass, you can see they turned the game into an FPS very late into the development stage. Enemies are OK, nothing groundbreaking

you can melt ogres with the nailgun. shambies gotta be killed with the lightning gun and rockets.

>> No.10451841

Quake doesn't seem as impressive anymore because other games built on it making drastic improvements. Anything you see in FPS games today was done by Quake first in one way or another. Heck, Overwatch 2 is something from one of the Quake games (which is what Team Fortress is).

you're right
>>10451094
listen FAGGOT. I've played and beaten the game on Nightmare both in the sourceports (faster AI) and the gay ass Kex engine remaster where it drops your health to 50.
Maybe uhhh, if the ogres were female and you could fuck them instead of killing them it wouldn't be so boring.
But anyways, it's a boring fucking game.
First expansion pack was way better because more weapons and enemies with less health.

having good fun in Quake really depends on having good levels
truth is original levels used to blow my mind in 90s, but there are better options now, and today they just leave an "OK" impression

Play free standalone expansion Arcane Dimensions if you haven't already
