Qauke Champions killed quake.

The only game i got from this franchise was Quale wars and god was it terrible. I didnt take it to gamestop to sell or exchange just threw itto the trash.

>>381553347
That's the worst one, even when Quake 4 exists.

>>381553164
Game was already dying
but ill admit the change from f2p to 10$ was not helpful

Quake has been dead, Champions just made it a
relevant talking point

>>381554036
QL has had pretty alive player count for all these years but in may and june it has reduced a lot.

This game has NOTHING to do with Quake.

Bethesda bought the rights to use the name for marketing reasons, because people are more inclined to buy a familiar name like "Quake" than some new name none has ever heard before.

It's a fucking piece of crap.

Imagine the young kids playing that game, and thinking of Quake as some team-based Moba shooter, like Overwatch, Battleborn, or Team Fortress 2.

>>381559445
>>381555642
It's balanced If everyone has acess to abilities, if you just want to shoot stuff you can play the older games, but face it that kind of archaic gameplay doesn't cut it today.

>>381553164
quake killed itself. Simple as that. Purist retards will keep looking for excuses, but the simple truth is noone want's to play a game with no room for new players , a 500 strong player base, and a stagnated meta.

>>381560010
It's funny because Bethesda actually owns id and TF2 came from Quake.

>>381560036
It doesn't cut it because you pussies are too bad for fast-paced games that require top-notch reflexes.

All you want is some easy game, with unlocks, experience, powers, cool skins, etc. And you wanna know why?

It's to compensate for your lack of skill at the game.

You were born with a testosterone deficiency, so you don't have that competitive/warrior spirit inside you. You're just a little homosexual bitch, like most kids born in the 2000s, and that's why the genre is dying.

Why spoil the name Quake with that shit?

>>381560194
yet counter strike is the most bland and boring shooter out there and it is extremely popular

>>381560036
>if you just want to shoot stuff you can play the older games
I wish I could, but they're dead

>It's balanced If everyone has acess to abilities
It's not about the balance, it's about the design, why would you add abilities on quake, especially abilities that are THIS OP, you're really advantaged in a 1v1 situation if you have your ability up and the enemy does not
This is stupid and this is not what quake is about, quake is about simple fun, not this overwatch meme bullshit

shouldnt you be happy, as they are adding something to a genre that hasnt changed its gameplay for like 20 years

>>381560558
>>381560639
Non autistic people get tired of just point and clicking at targets non-stop, having abilities and unique character stats increases the gameplay variety and adds an unprecendent layer of strategy to a shooter.

>>381560639
>why
Because every shooter pre Q3 was an arena shooter. People got sick of it.

>>381560854
>shouldn't you be happy, I just added some pineapples to your pizza

>>381561410
Then they could have just made a new IP instead of ruining a big name like Quake and dividing even more the dying Quake community

>>381555642
Fuck off autismo. Not everyone can enjoy the same game for 20 years. You're the reason Quake is dead.

>>381560558
>games that require top-notch reflexes.
Quake doesn't require top-notch reflexes.
You should always have idea where you opponent is. Usually you shoot were you know your opponent will come or place yourself on places where you have easy rail angles.

Counter strike requires more reflexes than quake because all you do is camp corners.

gee I really wonder why arena shooters are a dead genre....

>>381561846
I'm pretty sure around 50% of the QL community has migrated to QC just because it has a bigger playerbase

>>381561713
>ruining
Only purists like yourself think it's ruined. I like that we finally got a new Quake game after 20 years. Yeah It's a little different and it's mp only but it would suck if it was the same shit as Q3.

>>381561995
Because they are PC exclusive and cannot be reproduced on consoles.

Same with RTS, TBS, quests, etc.

>>381562103
>a little different
just commit suicide my dude

>>381561401
That's the point of Arena FPS games...

Where you put every single player on the same level, and you let reflex/skill decide the outcome of the game.

That's it.

If I want to play "strategic" FPS or multiplayer games, I'll go with Overwatch, LoL, Battleborn, Dota 2, Smite, Team Fortress 2, Battlefield 1, Call of Duty WWII, etc.

You're just a dumb kid with hormonal issues, and you're trying to justify your lack of skill by defending a greedy marketing stunt made by an AAA studio.

Are you pretending to be retarded or just really fucking stupid?

>>381564626
If you think QC is at all like cod you might have brain damage. I also never said it was a "new game" just a little different.

Quake was already dead except for a handful of us anyway. Relegating Quake Champions to the Bethesda launcher instead of putting it on Steam and also forgetting to, I dunno, market it, is what's going to keep it dead.

I installed Quake Champions, and I was really excited to try it...

But an error popped out, saying I needed a controller to run the game because keyboard and mouse were not supported anymore.

Can anyone help me?

I need a game to keep me busy until my Far Cry 5 and CoD WWII pre-orders arrive.

>>381565351

Quake Champions will come to Steam, though.

>>381555642
>NoChangeFags are this upset

Why you old dinosaurs are still alive again? Get with the times, gramps.

I'm an oldfag too and I played Q2 and Q3a in it's golden age as well as UT'99 and actually having played Champions I really liked it and skills are rather balanced. The only people bitching are the ones who didn't bother to actually test how it plays in the beta, like your typical /v/irgin does.

>>381565861
it plays like shit right now though because they somehow made the netcode worse last patch
its okay when it works though

>>381560010
You don't know what the fuck are you talking about. There's plenty bitching online by people who are getting stomped into the ground by Quake vets, the underaged casual moba shitters are fucking off already.

>>381565861
>implying that watching some videos on Youtube gives you the right to say you played Q2, Q3 or UT' 99

Shut your damn mouth, you filthy piece of shit.

>>381565861
the beta had terrible netcode and was unplayable because of the lag, dumb nigger.

>>381566150
Lol kid I bet you haven't even started playing vidya after 15" CRT's and mechanical mouses were considered a standard.

>>381565081
QC is fucking worse than cod because it's also ASSFAGGOTS.

>>381565861
It tries to cater to the MLG crowd while at the same time absolutely ruining the default tourney format by inherent design. Way to go.

I played the beta, it's casual fun when the netcode isn't shitting itself, but that's about it. And that isn't why so many dumb tryhards loved Quake in the first place.

I don't even know who they're targetting with this game. Casuals will hate it, tryhards already hate it, and everyone else in the middle will play it for 20 hours top and then promptly go back to their favorite shooter of choice.

>>381566573

>hurr durr every hero must be a special snowflakexDD
Kill yourself instead.

Its hilarious how new players quit quakelive so fast and bitch about being kicked. FFA servers never kick new players, buy of course clan arena will in the non noob servers. Who the fuck wants to have their 4v4 clan arena game ruined by making it essentially a 3v4? Go learn the game before joining the low population team game mode.

>>381566793
I think in the final version they are introducing classic mode with no skills, equal stats and everyone with pick anarki because he has the smallest hitbox. IMO that's a win-win, they have all fronts covered, casual players has different modes and skills, autists and tourneyfags stick with classic mode.

>all these people talking shit about Champions when they've obviously never played it

Having classes honestly has barely any impact. It doesn't actually make it a 'class based' game.
99% of whether you do well is your skill, maybe 1% is picking champions.

There is zero concept of picking X because someone on your team picked Y or we need you to play X because the enemy team is Y. It literally makes no difference

>>381567634
This, the only gripe you can have with the game is that different Champions have different health/armor points and varying movement speeds but this complaint goes away with introduction of the classic mode.

>>381567634
>maybe 1% is picking champions.
It's even less than that. Picking champions is deciding what to do in extreme situations, like running out of ammo or health and staying alive

>>381567634
>classes honestly has barely any impact
Why the FUCK they are in the game then? Why the fuck there are those shitty crates? Even if it had zero impact, it's almost like devs intentionally wanted to make all the players vomit.

Sorry but that's how it is.

It's the best possible compromise for the chance of having a new arena shooter that isn't totally DOA

>>381568376
>it's not like the FFA servers are ever populated
they are though

>>381561401
But you're appealing to neither side of the shooter genre now. Hardcore players don't want to touch it because it runs around with abilities and stat bullshit that mar the skillcap of being better than your enemy. Normies might play it now but sooner or later it won't be TF2/Overwatch/CSGO and the fanbase will fizzle.

It's not even a cashgrab, they shoulda just made ET and made a twitter apology

It's a small impact. Enough for it to set it apart from the older games but not enough to make it feel like a different series altogether.
It just changes the dynamic slightly.

>>381568658
why would anyone play openarena when you could just play CPMA

QC is actually a good game, the only problem is bad performance/netcode

But noobs get raped in QC just as hard as they would in QL which is why they hate on it

>>381568915
I have literally no problems with the performance. The netcode is awful tho.

That aside it's a pretty fun game and I enjoy it a lot

Hey, fukwits...

You should have stayed in school instead of dropping out. Or perhaps, you should have asked your parents to avoid smoking cigarettes inside the house, when your brain was still growing.

It might be scenario A. It might be scenario B. Or...

It might be a mix of BOTH!

In either case, you're a dumb piece of shit because you think that classes only have a small impact in the game, while they are, in fact, HUGE.

Listen, downie. When you add classes, people have to take time to think about:

Who is the champion in front of me?

What abilities does he have?

Which ones are on cooldown?

How can I counter him?

Is that camo pink a new cosmetic skin or an ability effect?

And so on.

How can you insta-lock your rail-gun on the enemy, if all the questions above go through your head first?

It's either a Quake-like arena shooter where skill is the name of the game... or... it's a Moba FPS--like Overwatch--where you spend more time reading and learning about abilities/cooldowns/counter-picks.

It's one or the other.

I'll let you guess in which category Quake Champions falls in.

>>381569579
Holy fucking shit

>>381569579

There are no 'counter picks' you dumb retard

At least play the fucking game, or any Quake even before you shitpost

>>381569579
You know what? Fuck it, I'll reply to you seriously. Just this once. So you can have another (You)
>Who is the champion in front of me?
>What abilities does he have?
There're 10 champions and everyone has only 1 ability. Not rocket science.
>Which ones are on cooldown?
Every ability has like 45 secs of cooldown so it doesn't really matter. Also there aren't more than 8 player per match.
>How can I counter him?
There are no counters here. You counter him with a rocket to the chest like in every quake game.
>Is that camo pink a new cosmetic skin or an ability effect?
You'd have to be literally braindead to think this.

>>381553164

Not trying to carry heat like the other guy, but just tossing it in there that there are to some extent. you take turns picking in duel and some abilities are useful against others.
if nyx is invis you see through walls with visor,
if chars are fast you can puke on them and see the DOT through walls or you can put up totems to block their travel. if you get puked on you can invis to null the damage, if other is invis you can tele into the are to avoid the tele frag, things like that
