and when he does finally find that last enemy which would 100% the level, it's like some poor orphaned baby fiend or something which looks up at him with these big puppydog eyes, and quakeguy just can't bring himself to do it, awwwwwwww. 

That's one of my biggest problems 

Not since this happened. He just drinks until they close and sleeps it off on a park bench. 

Well, this Dire Orb is a spiked sphere.

I like how it animates, and how they kept it low poly. The only real inaccuracy is the color; in Q1 it's brown - purple is the color of the vore's projectile.

Anyway, I still prefer the Q3A character designs. Q3A was the pinnacle of id's art, IMO. D3 had great aesthetic in some places, but not everywhere. And Rage's aesthetic was about junk and trash everywhere, which is not my thing. Not played D4 yet. 

D4 or Doom 2016 is actually very, very good. If you like slick sci-fi environments there's plenty for you. I fired it up last night for the first time in nearly a year and played their arcade mode. The game is very fast and as close as you can get to the original Doom in this day. Right after that I fired up Quake Live and it's pretty funny how close that game is to Quake Champions. Much more in common as far as movement and other little things than I had recalled.

I agree that Q3 is one of id's high points but there is some amazing design and detail in Rage and Doom 4. 

Shamblers have fur apparently:

Sigh. 

they do? 

If shamblers have fur - then so does shub-niggurath. Compare their skins - same "texture". 

there's no official mention either way in the manual.

found this in the quake wiki:

In Quake, a Shambler is a large yeti-like beast with a blood-stained shaggy coat, a very large mouth displaying enormous fangs, no visible eyes, and sharp claws.

This has been questioned before.

Champions is considered canon, right? 

Another reason this game sucks donkey balls.

Not fur.

If this doesn't settle it then nothing does. 

everything I know is a lie. 

Sound gets repetitive quickly, but it's good fun. 

Seems alright - plays more or less like what you'd expect a Q3A graphical upgrade to play like I suppose. If the release version has a proper solo/bot mode I might pick it up. Otherwise pass - I'd rather shave my balls with an angle grinder than play online against actual people. 

 

I doubt it will have an offline mode tbh. 

Is obviously not a shambler then. 

TB on QC 

Shows it off well. It seems to be doing a pretty good job of doing Q3A2 with classes.

And as such it can suck my prolapse.

Wannabes and showboaters. Welp. Someone had to say it.

And while I'm here, #166 is spamtrolling

Boycott Quake Champions 

Leave now and never come back. 

The Dreamlands plot point is a nice throwback to the Lovecraftian origins of Q1 and its scraped fantasy-based plot.

IMO it's a bit of a waste to create a good background history for QChamps rather than using it on a proper single player experience, but oh well. 

Especially if Guy Davis or Steve Niles did it!
