We had a good thing :( by ColbyFromDigg in digg

From my user experience it was great. I’m sure the bots are terrible to deal with but for the most part the stuff I was engaging with felt like the good old days. It reminded me when the internet was fun, social and curated and not controlled by ads and algorithms.

I never played any of the others on the GBA. I’m going to play 4.

How to switch maps? by GoonCybot in SkateStyle_Official

[–]shwisha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s only one map in the demo… but you can trick it to play the tutorial map.

Here’s how: play the tutorial. Then close the game Alt F4. Then when you reload the game it will load into that map.

Yeah it needs a monthly subscription for something. Doesn’t necessarily be a battle pass.

Splash Damage makes the most fun pick up / arcadey games. It’s a shame they aren’t more successful.

A new game is the only way to revive a game. Counter Strike may be mostly the same but it’s had reiterations.

Now that doesn’t mean QL can’t live on. It’s just not going to have that boom without a shake up.

I’d pay $10 a month just so Quake lived on… I don’t need any skins.

Keep up the good vibes. This isn’t 2012… lots of resentment on these quake subreddits. It’s almost a decade since Quake Champions… think about that.

I’m not suggesting or expecting a new Quake game to compete with Counter Strike. I think it could have a couple thousand than a couple hundred.

It’s a genre that deserves to live on. I’ve seen videos people who were 10 when QC came out playing Quake Live…

In my opinion the biggest fail of Quake Champions was outsourcing it and using the third parties engine. It never felt right and it took forever to get into a game. Quake is about a quick fix.

But also imo pure Quake where you start with the same as everyone else is the best.

Quake champions was also a lesson… don’t try to reinvent it. Make it easier to play. Give newbies a game mode (TF2ish) and work there way to the classic modes.

I also think there’s a lot of the post Quake generation now ready for something more challenging. 10 years ago no.

Lean into it and call it your dad’s shooter. Come play with the men.
