The Hang: It's Officially Out

[Sprung]

I will have you know I am sitting down right now, and am no where near a chair or couch.

HE HAS A NUTCHAIR!

Rage was pretty fun and it had some pretty good enemy AI. Although I totally agree, the game had a totally shit ending. Plus you get the BFG so late in the game that you barely get a chance to use it at all. Would probably be a lot more fun co-op though.

It's like a hippity-hop.

But what do you hold on t-

OOOOHhhhhhh....

[Cosmic]

That is quite possibly the worst ending ever. It's not even like the story was that great, but you're going through the last mission and pushing buttons and whatnot, then all of a sudden cutscene that lasts for twenty seconds and the credits roll.

I'm beginning to see some of the hate for this game. It wasn't exactly brilliant up until this point anyways, but I was still somewhat enjoying it. That just feels like a kick in the nuts. id better be making Doom 4 or a Commander Keen reboot or something to make up for that bullshit.

I'm still holding out for a proper Quake 1 sequel one day.

I heard they were making a Doom 4. I can't wait for it, even if it's like DNF and takes 14 years to develop.

Playing through on Nightmare, some of those enemies are wicked smart. Especially the brawler mutants that charge you -- they dodge very well. I was genuinely impressed. And the game looks gorgeous, although holy fuck texture pop ins. Still, it was fun, just... felt unfinished, I suppose.

Still gotta do a 100% playthrough (definitely doing that one on Easy ), then some co-op stuff. I'm also contemplating playing something else for the moment 'cause that ending just made me so mad.

Yes, but I figure I might as well hope for games that might come out before I die.

Also why I take the grass path to work every day.

I've heard that too, and have hardly seen anything about it, and it's been in production for over four years now.

Carmack also stated that it's "going to be even more awesome than Rage." Which now officially has me worried.

[Cosmic]

Carmack has said he'd like to revisit the Lovecraftian, eldritch thing for Quake 5, but whether it'll happen is anyone's guess. I read Masters of Doom years ago and could have sworn the fantasy elements of Q1 were more Romero's doing though, whereas Carmack outright hated them and deliberately went full on sci-fi for Q2 with Romero out of the picture. God knows.

I would play the shit out of a Quake game with Cthulhu as the final boss.

[Zaladane]

It's funny, I've never once ever played a Quake game.

Oddly enough I just finished a play through of Quake 2 yesterday. I got Doom 3 for PS3 recently and that's put me on an id kick I guess.

[Drageuth]

I'm going to buy Doom 3 for PS3 after I clear a couple more games from my backlog. I fucking love Doom. id has always been one of my favourite studios -- it's too bad they don't put out a lot of games anymore.

Likewise. To be honest though I'm just a sucker for that sort of setting. I think if someone applied it to a big open world game like Skyrim I'd buy about four dozen copies.
