Hardest difficulty is not that hard, especially in original. However, if you limit yourself on how to use savegames, it can be challenging (but tedious). Level design is great and unforgiving at times.

Dont wanna spoil the fun dude, but... it has something to do with the 4th episode.

[Anonymous No.391270]

Honestly, it's pretty meh in terms of gameplay.

It has some pretty cool level design (basically expands on Doom, has cool verticality gunfights, that's probably its highpoint - one hidden level is particularly awesome as it has low gravity and you can jump really high and fight fuckers all over the map that away, above and below you) and the atmosphere isn't half bad. Excluding the nailguns all guns are boring and cookie cutter as fuck. The atmospheric setting is nice and the music is good, too (made by Reznor).

But yeah. Gameplay is meh. For this reason I liked the BUILD engine games that it overshadowed at the time of its release (Shadow Warrior and Blood) more. In fact I also prefer Doom to Quake.

Play it using Dark Places mod. Have fun.

No, that shit ruins Quake with a bunch of gag inducing random features. Play with JoeQuake or DirectQ. Make the game look like software mode quake as hard as you can for the best experience. Turn off animation interpolation which makes Quake1 look fucked up. No colored lights, no normal maps. None of that shit.

Type sv_aim 1 into the console (or add it to your config).

Quake has an amazing single-player. Playing it on nightmare is a good choice. I've never actually played it on anything else but it's a decent challenge on nightmare.

One thing you may consider is only saving between levels. It steps up the challenge quite a bit; I'm not sure if I recommend it for a first playthrough as some of the later levels are gigantic (and new players will probably find it very difficult to reliably deal with shamblers and spawns) but if you're finding the game to be a cakewalk that's definitely an option. I've tried to play without saving at all with mixed results.

[Anonymous No.391501]

Thanks for the advice. I read somewhere that there's a bug in the game where you lose runes you've collected if you save at the wrong time. How can I avoid this?

[Anonymous No.391509]

>>391501
I have no clue how to avoid this. This happened to me on my no-save playthrough once and I had to cheat to get into the last level.

Ironically, the only time I remember the game letting me keep my runes is the first time I played through the game, savescumming and all.

I prefered Duke3D to Quake when it came out because the performance of quake was fairly awful on my machine anyway. Could only play it in DOS, didn't have a 3D accelerator nor would have one for quite a few years. Duke3D's gameplay was 'more exotic' and varied.
Though I played Quake after, with a 3D card, and after people figured out how really play it and it was amazing. It blew everything else away for multiplayer outright for movement and mechanics. The largest problem was map balance as a lot of maps weren't balanced well enough and the maps make a gigantic difference as you can easily get fucked up otherwise while someone sticks on an important chokepoint or stash.
These days duke feels like ass to play in comparison. But it still works for singleplayer with eduke kind of, shit mouse input still though.

Honestly, if you're turning autoaim on in a lot of these games, you're upping the challenge. Autoaim is so inferior to manual it's ridiculous. There isn't a single game where it's better to have the inbuilt auto aim than to aim by hand.

This "imbalance" was a lot of what made Quake's multiplayer good. Map control was huge. Games have given up on map control now, meaning that any scrub can usually kill you at any time

Map balance doesn't do that. Weapon balance does.
You can have everything laid out plentiful in quake and no scrub can just kill you at any time. They'll get wiped for trying. The map imbalance made quake multiplayer shit. The weapon 'imbalance' is what made it good, the weapon imbalance isn't so much imbalance as it is some weapons are superior in situations where others are useless, even a normal shotgun will rape a rocket launcher at distance. Even nail spam potentially.
But map imbalance fucks all that up. It needs to give appropriate abilities to the player and not with shitty lanes easily slammed.
Bad map design can break multiplayer badly.

[Anonymous No.391642]

>>391632

Nobody on earth thought Quake multiplayer was shit. A lot of people, like me, thought it was the all-time height of multiplayer gameplay. Map imbalance = ability to control the map. "Bad map design"? Quake's multiplayer maps are the best of all time in any FPS. This is pretty much beyond argument.

High level play is about control but not camping. Camping often gets you killed in one on one.

>>391612
Scolding is retarded.
Camping is effective in poorly designed areas of maps where a map is overcrowded beyond it's means, to the point where even bad players can often come out on top against far better players for it. Overcrowding a map makes it fucking suck horribly as it is. It's a very resource based game and depleting those resources rapidly and randomly really slows it down and makes it shit.

Why are there so few Quake threads compared to Doom threads? I feel like Doom established more of a fandom with its cool universe and related stuff like comics, books, the movie, etc. And of course Doom is just revolutionary, even though Quake is also one of the most revolutionary games of all time. So please share interesting stories or anecdotes from that era..It was a happy time in my life from about 1995 to 2000, and Quake was a lot of that.

I have played with almost every one of the Quake team members. Christian Antkow (Disruptor) was the best, and the only one who could beat me, though he was not really a core Quake team member. John Romero was extremely good also. John Carmack is not very fast at FPS :)

I have corresponded with Carmack many times over email since 1996. If you write him intelligent, well-thought-out, pertinent emails he will respond. He's also directly interested in bugs that you have discovered, that's how much of a programmer geek he is. I also emailed with Paul Steed a lot, he was a cool guy. RIP. (Anyone know what happened?)

I worked on the mod After the Fall making weapon models and skins. After the Fall was the first true total conversion of all time. The final release version contained 0 assets from Quake, we just used the engine.

Bravo, I applaud your attempt at lying, including a fallacy, and expecting other people to be so retarded as to not tell you to take your retarded shit elsewhere.
Try /v/ perchance. They revel at your kind.

He's right though, Zandronum's fanbase is full of "I'm a retro gamer XD" hipsters who have no real respect for Doom. Most servers don't even disable jumping (which is only supposed to be in Hexen), that's how ignorant they are.

It's worth noting that the way he proposes to fix it is basically the worst possible way to do it.

The biggest point is that if you cheat for the runes, the game still won't let you in the last level unles you clip through the floor (thereby requiring you to cheat again).
The other factor is that impulse 9 gives you guns you shouldn't have; impulse 11 is a much more elegant solution.

The msot elegant solution, however, is just to play through the game normally, without the runes, and then use map end after you've beaten the four episodes to warp to the last boss fight.

[Princess Bubblegum !AnVbXjgZco No.394882]

Impulse 11 is the right way. I'm responding to a guy who thinks it's "autistic" to prefer Impulse 11 over Impulse 9.

>if you cheat for the runes, the game still won't let you in the last level unles you clip through the floor
That's because when you enter the start map, the game performs a check to see which runes you have, so it will know which episodes to block off, and whether to let you in the last level.

If you start a new game and cheat for the runes, the game won't recognize that you have them, because the check has already been performed.

If you cheat for the runes within the actual game though, once you've beaten the episode and returned to the starting map, it'll be the same as if you legitimately beat every episode.

[Anonymous No.395671]

>>394882
...Except impulse 11 doesn't give you the runes in the same order that the game does, so you might as well just avoid all chances of disparity altogether by using map end.

Impulse 11 is also useless if the game takes your runes away upon completing episode 4.

It's nitpicking, but why use a solution with few downsides if one with no downsides exists?

[Anonymous No.395719]

>Being this autistic about the runes

I just played through all 4 episodes and then noclipped through the floor to get to the final level, which, by the way, isn't even that great.

Sure, the teleport kill is cool the first time, but the tele kill on E1M3 Nightmare is better.

The port itself is fine, the mod that comes with it sucks.

I'm talking about the port... just the one that jazzes up the graphics a bit. I've never played Quake with regenerating health of course, I would never rape an old shooter that way.

I should make a list of must-play singleplayer levels and mods someday. I'm a lazy slob though. By the way new maps are still being made and there's even a new editor out that's super easy to learn. You should definitely check it out. It's called TrenchBroom.

The cheat codes being used in question are to be able to complete the game due to a rune removal bug.

Haven't played Quake in a while, download. For the first time in my life, I've stumbled on a version with the goddamned soundtrack.
It's like playing a different, much MUCH better game.

My favorite Quake mod would have been In The Shadows, but it was cancelled :(

There's a three map demo which is pretty fun, but I really wanted it to be a full game.

Yeah, the soundtrack really adds a lot. Like those creepy wailing horns in The Grisly Grotto. And that subtle industrial pulse in the military stages. Out of everything Trent Reznor has produced, the Quake soundtrack is probably the only true industrial thing he's ever done.

[Anonymous No.407158]

>Quake soundtrack is probably the only true industrial thing he's ever done.
Except for almost all of his work. Other than that, yeah it's pretty much the only thing he's ever touched that's industrial. Even though Quake is Industrial Ambient.

Played this a while ago. Does it still hold up today? Is it worth getting the expansions installed? I want to give this a proper go on nightmare...

[Anonymous No.413551]

Is anyone else here really captivated by the Quake I setting and atmosphere?
It felt so damn brutal, claustrophobic and... medieval.

I secretly wish there was a game that would feature some kind of alternate medieval universe where you would play as a mercenary clearing out enemy strongholds, all with Quake I style and gameplay of course.
Get what I'm getting at?
