I’m envious that you get to experience it for the first time. The Quake games are so worth it. Quake 3 becomes more arena-based but is an absolute blast to play online against people. It was a good chunk of my gaming life. 1 and 2 are FPS royalty. Simple and to the point.
I played the Quake games originally on the PC, but they’re great with a controller. Just dial the sensitivity in and you’re good. That’s always my concern because I mostly play on consoles now too, but Id and Bethesda put a lot of care into their gamepad layouts and settings.
Looks amazing and I don’t know it for a fact but it feels like the devs takes the time to perfect the game and it will come out polished… Of course this just my feeling
Played it on Xbox yesterday— reminded me of the good times in Friday the 13th, looking forward to playing more so I can figure what everyone’s supposed to do
I played Quake 2 on the Oculus Quest and it was the best VR experience I had. The port is perfect. It’s like the dream of my younger self since it was my favourite game then.
game was absolute trash when it was released but after a few years it got a lot better - these days i hop into it once a month or so just to screw around. it’s a fun time sink
The game was such a scam when it released that I refuse to ever play it, I really don’t care if it’s playable now, you can’t reward these scammers with your money and hope they fix it.
I bought it on sale 6 months ago, I have 20h on my main save and 8h on the last expedition. I can confidently say that I haven’t seen 80% of the game activities, but at the same time I feel like I’ve seen everything. That game is truly an inch deep, it’s incredibly shallow.
Remember when they heavily implied mw2 waa going to be a 2 year game up to launch, then quickly back pedaled a month in to launch? Remember when they had multiple multiplayer maps in the game from day 1 launch that STILL have yet to appear in multiplayer? Remember when they filled warzone with at least 6 throwback maps that have still never been added to multiplayer?
Do not buy this game. If you are going to buy it, do not pre order it. If you’re determined to get early access beta then wait until the very last second to pre order it, then cancel your pre order after the beta. Speak with your goddamm dollars and stop throwing money at the largest video game conglomerate in the world just to bitch about the half assed product they’ll have waiting on you.
I always enjoyed the single player campaigns during the Xbox 360 era, so the “remade” trilogy is making me a bit nostalgic. Not nostalgic enough to pay 60 (?) Euros for a maximum of 8 hours of game time though.
It’s faithful enough to 5e that my partner and I broke out the players handbook to do some long term class planning together. A couple of things are different, like buffs to frenzy barbarian and changes to roleplay feats or spells to have a more mechanical benefit.
But yes, as a long term DM for 5e, it’s faithful to 5e.
Larian has been absolutely phenomenal through their process on both of these. Kept with the ‘it’ll release when it’s ready’ model, the exception with the alpha/early release on BG3 which I would say helped improve the quality of the Release product that much more, through testing/reports and cash influx without the ‘pre-order today, get whatever you get tomorrow’ mantra.
The most significant change I noticed was you can cast any number of leveled spells per turn. That’s a pretty significant shift from 5e’s rule of only one leveled spell (excluding using action surge if you dip into fighter) per turn.
However it makes the player stronger so I doubt anyone is really complaining about it.
I’ve been playing BG3 and perhaps I’m misunderstanding but you only have one action and one bonus action per turn and you only have so many spell slots per caster. Unless you have a leveled spell as an action and a separate leveled spell as a bonus action and enough spell slots for both you’d be hard pressed to cast more than a single spell per turn per character
It’s been a while since I played 5e, but if I remember correctly you could do some fuckery with Haste and/or Sorcery Points if you don’t follow that rule.
Plenty of spells cast as a bonus action. With a cleric I can cast Spirt Guardians and Spiritual Weapon on the same turn. Or polymorph and mass cure wounds. It makes a significant difference for bonus action spells.
