does anyone still give a shit about quake 2, as both a game and IP? like why did they make it impossible to expand on the lovecraftian horror world from quake 1 with a completely unrelated game using the quake name Like does anyone have any strong opinions of it asside from "meh"?comeplete nothing of a game tarnishing any potential quake 1 had for the future
>>748980183Quake 1 was an accident, it was meant to be a grandoise rpg before it was scrapped into a shooter. A lot of rpgs had lovecraftian horror in it, so Quake having it made it unique.Quake 2 was also an accident, it was meant to be a heavy metal esque scifi shooter before it was rebranded to Quake 2.
>>748980183id didn't have faith and/or couldn't come up with a proper name, so they slapped the Quake name on it and called it a dayi probably would've bought it even if it was called Wor like originally planned
>>748980183Quake 2 kind of sucked, they added narrative focus and immersive gimmicks and it was all shit. And the game was ugly as fuck too, even compared to brown castle Q1People give all sorts of crap to HL1 when Q2 was the game that ruined pure Doom/Q1 style shootans
>>748980183>lovecraftianPeople are just using this word for anything
>>748980183I feel like a new Q2 timeline game could be cool if done right. But everyone would bitch that they didn’t make a sequel to Q1 instead. And then id screwed themselves by putting a bunch of Q1 shit in TDA, thus making the franchises redundant with one another.
>>748983975the final boss of the game is literally shub-niggurath
>>748983975Quake 1 literally had a final boss straight out of Lovecraft's stories.
>>748982485>i probably would've bought it even if it was called Wor like originally plannedWhy do people continue to fall for Tim Willits' lies?
