Christchurch Treehouse of Awesome-Where everyone knows your name

[Pyromanik]

So I woke up on Monday and thought I'd shoot down the pub for breakkie.
Just a casual 13.5 Km stroll later I turned up and they'd stopped doing breakfast 4 minutes ago.

So I had the bambi burger and some top of the top shelf whisky instead, because fuck yeah, Scotland.

So you just woke up on Monday, even though it's Tuesday where you are?

That must have been some strong whisky.

[Pyromanik]

Yes, I'm talking about stuff that happened in the future, duh.

This sounds awesome.

[Pyromanik]

It was. Then I walked back into town... and continued being awesome there.

Played quake before dinner. Was great. I sucked, but the game was great.
Played quake after dinner. An update. SUDDENLY COD.

FUCK.

help bring Quake one step closer to being a modern shooter

We don't want a modern shooter, that's WHY we're playing Quake!
(ie, NOT cs, not cod, not herpyderpy zenimax game version 7)


Not content with fucking the game, they even fucked the ever familiar interface.
Looks like a 15 year old's prototype for their new game, complete with shit boxes, fucked kerning and compressed font.

[Xsannz]

Really Really enjoying the new Gmod blood and section, it's like watching a train wreck in slow motion.

scratch that it's like watching lord of the flies where the kiddies try and kill each other...  the kindling is so tinder dry the slightest spark sets them off.

so much fun.. need more popcorn.

And so Zenimax said to ID:
What can we do now that the mastermind (Carmack) has left?
I know, lets take a game that's been around and successful for 16 years, then add all the bullshit it DOESN'T HAVE (and never needed) from modern crap, and fucking piss off our entire fanbase in one easy move.
BRILLIANT!

[Xsannz]

Warsow is still great i just hate the newer patch that made the models look tf2ish.

other that that the gameplay is q3 arena on steroids with techno music.. WIN

Roflol this must be the way EA do every update and patch and release for BF except if it all points to no they release it.

[Pyromanik]

fuck'n... reatards in form "If this is what quake needs to do to survive on it's last legs... then that's ok." - mothefucker, it came out in 1998. It's been around for 16 years, and has just as strong a community as ever. The community plays BECAUSE it was what it was.

derp derp derp derp derp

Trying to attract the 'new player' is the wrong audience entirely. Look how dead any other modern fps is just 6 months after it's release.
Fiddling with shit at this stage in it's life just isn't worth it.

Let alone they broke a bunch of other shit like config settings that don't load anymore and now even people that exclusively play 'classic' can't bind shit to mwheel.

I just... don't even what.
So sad.

This quake isn't quake anymore.
RIP Quake.

[Pyromanik]

Sad that this post no longer relevant (at the OK link).

Might have to keep more of an eager eye on it now, if this 'nuquake' stays put.

Chiggidy-check this title out. Running on unreal, PC exclusive and slated for early access this year at $15.00. Could make some of the bitter vets around here weep for simpler times.

It raised my pulse.

Then it said "Frag like 1999" and I was all OK!

I kept watching and found it's quite UT centric. That's ok though, it still looks hot.
I can forgive that, UT classic was much funs when quake fans were scarce.

Different enough to appreciate both, I think its the term (it is now, fuckers).

While googling for the name of the game in the last post, I came across this:

Fuck'n lol. Not sure why the fuck the place is named "ID Tech camps" if it's not about ID TECH. fucking morons, morons everywhere, ruining the world.
