Today’s game is Quake. Specifically QBJ3. I saw someone talking about this and decided I’d give it a try. I’d never played Quake before this. But I saw someone talking about the modpack and thought it was pretty so I tried it. I even bought a copy of Quake 1 for it.
I really like the modpack. It’s got some some amazing artistry too it, maybe jumping headfirst into it for an evening of fun wasn’t the best idea though. I think I’d appreciate it more if I’d actually played Quake 1 before.
I played 1 map where you’re escaping from prison which was a load of fun. It went on a while though so I stopped and tried a different level.
Next I tried one called “Penis day at the Gym”. I have no clue what the hell I played but it was fun. I got a laugh out of me slipping on a banana peel to my death. I also found something called a Brutalist Butt Plug.
The final one I played I can’t remember the name of but it had something to do with a house. Design wise it reminds me of Silent Cartographer in Halo CE. I think it’s my favorite to play. It had a lot of wide openness the others didn’t.
I do think that openness works against it though too, as it maid it harder to hit targets. That ended up causing me to stop as I was fighting a group of enemies I just couldn’t get past.
I really liked this modpack, ultimately though I think it was more so a fun evening for me to mess around. When I decide to set my mind to it though I’d love to come back for an evening and finish a bunch of the levels.
I might try that next, I’m getting a lot of good suggestions.
I think my first order of business should be sitting down and playing through the OG quake first though, after buying it to play the mod (After which I found out I don’t even have to buy a copy) I want to try playing it. I don’t know much
Good plan. Hard to say where my immense nostalgia ends and quakes “greatness” begins, but the og campaign is still one of my happy places after decades… and the folks at id n nightdive etc have done a great job adding to it and updating it for modern times. Dimension of the Machine is fantastic!!
If possible, transport yourself back to 1997 and get some friends to do a local multiplayer threewave or deathmatch… god, my brothers and i had so much fun.
I might be able to get some people for multiplayer now that you mention it. Maybe even local multiplayer if I pull some strings right
