Exploring The Id (p11) - Quake II Review (Part 1)

[Bruce777999]

Remember about QuakeII in Edge magazine - I was ecstatic... oh those were the days.

Great review!

@GigaBoost Daikatana was not made by ID software..it was maded by Ion Storm

[artman40]

This game seems to have aged much better than Goldeneye 007, mostly due to better controls.

As a 9 or 10 year old child, Quake 2 was the most awesome computer game ever made. The in-between mission videos were the coolest thing I ever saw, and to this day, is probably one of the most badass games I've ever played. The music was hardcore and the graphics were astounding. The level of intensity in this game was something which was never realized before in a videogame and wasn't until many years later that any other computer game company came even close to matching the awesome of Quake 2.

Ground Zero is awesome... By the way I never thought you would review this one, but nice!

[ItsTheFizz]

Yeah, Quake 2 never quite grabbed me when it first came out... It just felt like more of the same

[GigaBoost]

Will Daikatana be in this series? I hope so!

Keep up the good work GGBeyond (I don't know what to call you...)! I love these videos.

[doomguy912]

at the beginng it was stated that john romero quit accoring to masters of doom the book john carmack fired john romero because he claimed he wasnt doing his work for the company so he fired him and threatened to dissolve the company

[badtrane]

Love it, can't wait for the next episode, keep up the good work and thanks for doing this ^^

[kristoffertm]

Can't wait for part 2!!!

[Kiryutka22]

Aaaah Quake and Quake 2! ! Two legendery games! !

[dronespace]

Quake 2 is a really good game, at the time I was very impressed with the graphics and enjoyed the outdoor environments, but I def. prefer Quake.

[fleetwoodsucks]

The demo was less about showing off the game and more about making sure your pc could actually run the game

[MAZZEKAARTS]

Aww, 10th of December. That's a whole week I have to wait for this awesome series to continue!

[thatJimwiththenes]

cant wait til part 12

[GX2Productions]

Digital Paint 2 huh? I reviewed that game ages ago. lol

[snake2006]

But lets look at what Romero did after he left, oh yeah a game that was delayed several times and redone several times and was complete shit. So Romero's opinion is invalid, he is nothing without Carmack.

[macintoshgermany]

Great video!

[Sam5726]

Another great video :)

[crogeek]

Q2, Q3 - these modern kids don't know what are real FPS games (instead of well scripted CoD which is too much linear but it has also great multiplayer scene which is filled of various kids). I will never forget playing Q2 or Q3 on 56k modem - even I still play QuakeLive (which is really modified Q3 CPMA web FPS game - it's rare thing really)

[RichterBelmont12]

@crogeek I really hate Modern Kids and their "OMG COD is the BEST GAME EVER" And "OOOOH THIS IS A COD RIP OFF"...It makes me Sick Hearing this..I wish we can Teach Them the REAL history and Charm about the Old games ^_^ TAke it from me that I was Born in the 90s

[LunaVorax]

Can't wait for Part12!

It's always so entertaining to watch your videos!

[zonilo1]

I think this was the game that American Mcgee left id software and he created Alice from the Quake 3 engine.

[LtHavoc1983]

You know, there is a huge irony that back then, Quake 1 and 2 where ported to consoles and the ports where really bad. These days, they port the console version over to PC and they often suck ass. How times have changed.

[snake2006]

@LtHavoc1983

That is because most PC gamers are filthy pirates. Not all, but I know many,many PC gamers both offline and online that admit they never buy games, the pirate them. They boast about it like it's a right of theirs. So I don't blame companies taking shortcuts when they know the PC sales are not going to be as high as the console sales.

[LtHavoc1983]

@snake2006 This is a pretty old and lame argument and its not true. I for one bought all my games so did all my friends. The problem is just that the ports are choppy and half assed and that many games are bug ridden and not worth the money you spend on, thats why they are pirated, because these people do not want to spend money for this.If they would produce quality, then people would buy it. Also, the PC game sales are not that low that its not profitable. Its just laziness.

[ofirharlev]

@LtHavoc1983

times have changed in terms of sales. these ported games suck in the PC because they are just too easy in the PC.

[LtHavoc1983]

@ofirharlev No, you dont understand, the point I was making is, that they make the games for X-Box of PS3 and then make half asses, buggy ports for the PC, like RE4 for example or many other games. They have stupid excuses like that the PC sales are not good or whatever. Thing is, that you can make really good ports over to the PC, but they simply outsource the whole thing to save money and just to make a quick buck and then they complain if it gets pirated.

[ofirharlev]

@LtHavoc1983 oh, yeah. I guess you have a point there

[TheBronzePker]

:O Can't wait to watch this!

Been waiting on this :)

But I have stuff to do ): So I have to wait till tonight to watch it ! ):
