Why did you guys enjoy quake?

i just got quake and i LOVE it so i was just wondering why do YOU like the game so much? i think it has OUTSTANDING gameplay! no wonder people ay its one of the best FPS games ever to be made

I love it cuz:

1) based on skill

2) fast paced

Because it's fast as ****. And sometimes I just want to run around super fast with a rocket launcher.

I didn't like Quake. Too pixelated for me. Plus you're lucky to get 20 fps with the latest and greatest hardware of the time (prior to 3dfx). I liked GLQuake running accelerated with a Diamond Monster 3D Voodoo. ;) But, I loved Quake 2 which I still play on my netbook.

This. I also loved UT2k4 for the same reason. I really want a NEW game to take these gameplay elements and evolve the genre. I'm hoping Tribes: Ascend will at least fill the current void a bit. I haven't played it, but it looks fast-paced, and movement is a skill. I'm kind of tired of these realistic shooters. Movement always feels clunky and hampered.

1. Requires skill of true warrior.

2. Requires thinking of a chess player if you're playing duel with the best.

3. Clan arena gametype is just so amazing, like I wuv it.

4. Really shows huge difference in skills.

5.Really big manuevering, you need to strafe jump to get speed in duel and CA.

Which "Quake" is the topic about:

Quake
Quake II
Quake III Arena / Team Arena
Quake IV
Enemy Territory: Quake Wars
Quake Live (updated free-to-play version of III)

or the series in general?

My favorite might be III but I've had fun with each one.

well, when anyone talks about quake they usually are talking about GLquake

This topic is about the first Quake, based on his previous topic:P

There's nothing to dislike about this game. Everything is perfect.

id HAS to get Trent Reznor back on board for Quake V, his music and sounds for Quake are incredible.

Been playing since '96 but I still play the game to this day because it has no unlock type things. Fighting over weapons imo is the best way to do it.

I have a cousin who was pretty awesome at quake, I remember he used to play with no textures to help his fps.

Nah with quake it is all about planning. My cousin for instance knew all maps and all the logical routes people would take to get from one place or another. Many times when I faced him as I exited a corridor a rocket literally blew up in my face, he had just predicted when and where I'd be.

Gameplay, there's just something about it that makes it such a smooth experience, not just fast, more so than UT, it always was 2nd place for me, right after Quake.

it was senseless fun with guns.. it didnt need dialogue or anything else jsut guns and thing to make go boom.

and i wouldnt have it any other way.

The engine is very fluid and the controls really responsive. Plus the game is balanced and the maps are well layed out.

I never really liked it, and yes, I played it around when it came out. Main reason was the drab atmosphere and environments. It was an extremely important FPS game for many reasons, but I never got to enjoy it as such.

The multiplayer has a very high ceiling skill/knowledge requirement thus making it very competitive and challenging.

Plus its fast as all hell, talk about adrenaline rush.
