Quake

I'm playing mostly CTF getting pissed at the idiotic champion design
It almost feels like broken tribes sometimes
The q3 gameplay is good but fucked by design decisions and netcode
>gay suit is default
fuu

I am, everyday. It's hard to stop honestly and interferes with my sleep schedule after work.

It's hella fun, though has some performance issues with the netcode and such. Slash is incredibly fun to play as. Zooming about, plowing fools.

>wanna play and just have fun
>Get matched with grandmaster super autists that get 90 kills a minute

Fuck off with this. Why can't all the veteren leet tryhards just fuck off to ranked?

Newfag get off my board

But how will you know where to get better if not by gaining insight of your own skills by getting fucked raw in public by quake dads?

?

I don't want to get much better I just want to have fun. I'm never going to be at THEIR top top level

My laptop is a fucking piece of shit and something is throttling my performance and I can only get 40fps on my monitor (80+ on the actual laptop) and it's fucking drive me NUTS

Reeeeeeeeee

I always wanted to try it, but the playerbase is so wank. I can only imagine at this stage it takes years to find a match to then only get slaughtered by people with thousands of hours.

There’s nothing wrong with any of the skins.

The only way to get better at a game is to play against people that are good. pub stomping casuals isnt good for you

>I'm never going to be at THEIR top top level
thats quitter talk, I believe in you user

You don't even know what a demo is. Get off my board, newfag.

There's a difference between good, and near unbeatable. I have zero issues learning a game I enjoy, but I doubt spending hundreds of hours going against only the best players since that is all that's left will make me better. It's hard to learn anything if you get detsroyed with zero chance of fighting back.

Try it, i play mostly TDM, you get a variety of skillset opponents, from scrubs to top tier pros.

I gave two examples of what a demo is. The TF2 character and a method of trying a game before buying it. What do you think a demo is and also what does it have to do with newfaggotry? I've been here since 2007.

>I've never played the game.

Did they finally take out bot autofilling in casual matches?
Because I played it until 90% of the matches I got were nothing but really shitty bots.
I tried comp for a while but the maps are really shitty for 1v1 and I'm not social enough to have a friend to play 2v2 with, and with randoms I'd get nowhere.

I hate to be the spoonfeeder here but how hard is it to fucking google 'quake demos'

Yes. But it's a double edged sword, you can join an already existing game, so its never against bots or 3v3 etc. Better than playing against bot though.

Demos are recordings of your gameplay made in-game through demo files. Been here since 2007 and can't even Google.

When you clearly don't understand something, do you not even bother to google it and learn?

>Continue to nerf Anarki
>characters with one shot kills still have one shot kills
These devs are retarded

absolutely no, but gotta admit (since its obvious) that they tried to make heroes with powers to appeal the overwatch zoomers which caused the boomers to reee but the zoomers reee'd anyways because even if there are heroes with powers the game is fucking quake
>2019
>arena shooter

Basically, you don't know jack shit

You made the mistake of assuming I actually care. I've played Quake since Q2, but that doesn't mean I get into the nitty gritty of the community. Still has nothing to do with my time on this site. Knowledge of Quake shit? Sure, not great. Play and enjoy them, but I'm certainly not invested in them. But there's not a real correlation there.

Any of you negroids tried out this game yet?

go back to quake live. i did and it's the most fun i've had since gaming went to shit.

i'll play qc when there are updates but since I've gone from closed beta at 200+fps with 1080 to

Can't wait to play reflex 2.

Newfag poser

>everyone is just blindly mag dumping into portals

I really like it but I HATE that there is no lobby system so it boots you back to the main screen after every match.

You can tell by your reticle if you're actually aiming at someone through another player's portal.

from the 10 seconds i saw on youtube it looks really bad. hitscan only for an arena shooter? just why? just make a normal game if you're not going to try.

You're posting in a thread about Quake, replying to a post about a thing which is not even exclusive to Quake and something most people who has played these games or, hell, even TF2 would know about, so you must have had some inclination to convey interest on the subject. What did you call those gameplay clips that are in-engine during the main menu? Why bother posting if you aren't willing to talk about and learn about a subject?

>Another freaking ut / quake 3 clone to keep fragmenting an already tiny playerbase.
Make it stop.

It's not that arena-ish actually. But it's good if you like fast-paced sci fi shooters. Gunplay is actually kinda reminescent of Dirty Bomb, ET, and such - hitscan with a decent TTK so tracking aim actually matters.

>fragmenting the playerbase
>implying there are even any actual "fragments" left at this point
It's also not a clone at all.

Quake live is where it's at. I'm glad that game is still around.

They make the game less user-friendly and more dependent on the cash shop with every update.

I wish QC Slash looked like that.

What one shot kills?

>clone of overwatch
Nigger did you even play Quake, the mechanics are completely different

>first-person shooter with different playable characters
>wtf it's overwatch now
nigger, fighting games have had massive rosters of playable characters for decades and were still able to be balance them all out enough for competitive tournaments
there's no reason Quake can't do the same

It's Halo with portals, not a Quake or UT clone.

Just found the problem with my laptop.

"Whisper mode" was limiting my fps to 40. Now I'm getting like 300fps at 4k on ultra on my meme laptop.

My gpu is 90° but fuck it lads let's goooooooo

what skins, I'm talking about le doom slayer faggot model design being the default

if the matchmaker can find a full team, it will
but if a player leaves, and there's nobody to substitute, a bot will join
if you play practice, you will play against bots, but with other humans in team if available
bot skill level scales

I've been enjoying reading this chain and wanted to tell you that you're retarded, thx for entertainment

Were they? I thought everyone used like 2 or 3 characters, while the rosters are 10-30.

depends on the game

there's not 1 person who does not hate that
they don't want us to play the game, they made sure to annoy the players with everything they could come up with

Do people actually use the scope with the later sniper thing?

Both of those scenarios happen literally every time a new arena shooter comes onto the scene though.

>Make an arena shooter like Q3

a game like Q3 has never been done and will probably never be done again.

This post is you actually, literally crying that new arena shooters aren't enough like Quake 3.

>Boomers cry that it's not like Quake 3

i'm pointing out that there is no game LIKE quake 3. there have been many failed attempts at trying to create a game inspired by quake 3 but with the intention to not be quake 3. there have been literally zero game that tried to be quake 3. this is why every single arena shooter has failed because they can't even match what would be considered a base level of arena shooters. q3 set the bar and simply no game developer has been able to reach it. this isn't a problem with a game being q3 or not. it has to do with developers being lazy, cheap, and quick.

And if Quake 3 is some sort of unparalleled paragon of arena shooter that every other game must be compared to then promptly discarded, why the fuck does nobody play it any more? Why do Quakedads constantly sing its praises to high heaven and then utterly fail to put their money where their mouth is and actually play their perfect game?

it's still played but like most things in life, you move on. put money where their mouth is? they already have q3. no game has reached what would be considered the base level for q3. if a game came out and had all the features of q3 plus more, then you could spout whatever bullshit you want about not putting their money where their mouth is. the truth is quakers have put their money where their mouth is and there are no takers.

>there have been many failed attempts at trying to create a game inspired by quake 3 but with the intention to not be quake 3. there have been literally zero game that tried to be quake 3. this is why every single arena shooter has failed because they can't even match what would be considered a base level of arena shooters
HE BRINGS UP FUCKING QUALITY
HE BRINGS UP FUCKING QUALITY AS TO WHY EACH OF THESE TO-THE-FUCKING-LETTER-OF-Q3/CPMA REVIVAL ATTEMPTS WERE DEAD ON ARRIVAL, EVEN THOUGH THEY COPIED THE SAME DUEL RULES, WEAPON ARCHETYPES, APPROACH TO MAP CONTROL, PLAYER MOVEMENT, AND GOD KNOWS WHAT ELSE FROM Q3/CPMA

THESE REVIVAL ATTEMPTS WERE LITTLE MORE THAN FORKS OF Q3/CPMA WITH DIFFERENT MAPS AND SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT WEAPONS AND SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT MOVEMENT TECHNIQUES WHICH BARELY SHOOK UP HOW THE GAME WAS FUNDAMENTALLY PLAYED
OF COURSE THEY WOULD FUCKING DIE BECAUSE WHY WOULD YOU PLAY YET ANOTHER 9.5/10 CLONE OF Q3/CPMA WHEN 10/10 Q3/CPMA STILL EXISTS

THIS GAY GENRE IS FUCKING DEAD BECAUSE IT FAILED TO INNOVATE AND BECAUSE PEOPLE KEPT HOLDING Q3/UT TO SUCH A HIGH STANDARD THAT THE IDEA OF DEVIATING A SLIGHT BIT FROM GRANDDADDY QUAKE WAS BEYOND HERETICAL
THAT'S WHY "AREAN SHOOTERS" ARE ABOUT AS MUCH OF A "GENRE" AS PLUTO IS A PLANET, THE ARENA SHOOTER """"GENRE""" IS MORE INCESTUOUS IN ITS PROGENY THAN EIGHT CLONED HABSBURG FAMILIES FORCED TO LIVE ON AN ISOLATED ISLAND COULD EVER HOPE TO PRODUCE

what the fuck has this to do with anything

I just realised my life was sad...
I just played quake 3 arena for all these years

user, the VQ3 railgun does do 100 damage.

HUNTER WHEN

I about to get a new laptop but I'll be on in a few days. Havent played much but I like the game a lot

How the fuck do I learn to play with kb+m. Maybe jumping in to the deep end with this game was a poor decision, but regardless I can't aim for shit with a mouse. Any small character and it's over for me.

Lower your sensitivity.

>90° cpu temps on my laptop

Should I invest in one of those cooling fan pad things? Ive also never cleaned this fucking thing out in 2 years maybe I should open it up and blast it with air?

>2 years
>With a laptop
Get compressed air, hold the fan and blast it and the heatsink. Then use a cloth to get any stuck on stuff. Replace the thermal paste too if you can be fucked, but I imagine after two years on a tiny fan and heatsink that dust alone is causing your volcano.

I go back to it occasionally. It's plenty of fun, and it isn't ruined by cancer like 3/Live have, but it doesn't have the variety I'd play for long periods of time like TF2 or CS have.

Still cool that it exists, vodka programming be damned. And worst case we still got Doom back as well.

This is fucking comfy, lads

So it's only like 66 shards to unlock like.... Almost everything for a single character. How do you get more shards?

>And worst case we still got Doom back as well.

You know, given how secretive they're being about the PvP multiplayer mode I'm starting to get the outrageous hope that it's actually a mini-Quake being integrated into the larger Doom title. I can't really think of any other reason to leave every aspect of the PvP completely secret for this long after being announced.

it will be another lame gaylo-tier casual shit console-shooter deathmatch like the previous Doom game don't kid yourself

>being outplayed by abilities
git gud

>Because there's only like 80 people online you will get matched with insanely higher ranked level players where any other game that's actually active they wouldn't match you with them

This is the worst thing about it all. Almost every match is so inconsistent in terms of skill level. There's always at least one quake dad who absolutely dominates and single handheldy gets the win.

Niche genre add SP

I feel like matchmaking should at least handicap the player with a ridiculously high MMR when faced against a rookie to give the rookie a winning chance and to not make veterans bored out of their mind stomping a noob
