Quake 4

Curio said:Actually, although the graphics on Q4 are excellent the sky/cloud graphics are total pants. It really detracts from the atmosphere when you're outside and there's this ugly, low res, grainy, static thing up there
Yeah, a lot of the outdoor levels look pants to me, especially the vehicle/turret based things, but the engine is capable of good stuff, as we should see with Quake Wars. But the engine is fantastic at indoor things, with lots of atmospheric lighting.
Lol. I've just started playing this again. I'm up to the part where you get the railgun. I thought the tank bit was OK. My favorite bit so far and most impacting, was the brutallity they put you through to turn you into a strogg. I wondered why it was an 18 certificate til i reached that bit 
lol. Maybe im just squeemish.

no way mate, i was thinking the exact same thing. I was sat there holding my breath like
Thats the sort of thing i like in a game, For it to ship you along without any knowledge of what is to come... and having some poor sap before you on the conveyor belt while you watch

**************MAYBE POSSIBLE SPOILER***********
Haha. I shouldn't laugh, as i was like "oh god, poor marine... wtf? its me next!?
poor Matt kane " That was an excellent bit of storyline. Then the part where all your marine buddies bust you out of there. And sickened by the sight of you being strogg.I know i was thinking haha he will struggle loose any second...hmm his buddys will stop the machine.. WTF i must have had to defeat that boss and now this is like a death sequence . I liked the little touches like as soon as that chip gets implanted into your head the monitor on the wall suddenly becomes readable.

Such an under rated game. I love becoming strogg and being able to read everything on the monitors and stuff. Shame the real strogg dont get confused and hesitate fragging you though eh 
lol. I can feel that saw cutting through me everytime i play that sequence or think about it.

I am personally offended by pegasus's remark.
You cant compare Half Life with Quake.

Quake 3 for me beats HL2.
HL2 is a great game, yes, but it only took me a couple of days to complete and I have not picked it up since.
Return to Castle Wolfenstein I have played through probably 100x now, without crosshairs pulling of headshots with the sniper rifle, just love the game and the engine it is based on.
HL2 is great, but I do not think it ever lived up to any review I read as I think they all beleived the hype to much.

Now thats an idea - I know ppl like me and DaveyD will be up for that - though please lets do some CTFRebel=UK= said:
Q4 MPs is nothing on Q3s TBH - but its a fairly good go - still too many annoying little bugs to iron out (like higher jumps when you go up a gradient

What is this?iBot said:
I played Q4 singleplayer up till the bit where u enter an arena and have to fight multiple enemies, with no cover; and only 2 strogg health replenishers. Even while the enemies arent that hard alone, I seem to get overwhelmed by the fact that each one takes so long to kill and those flying half-bodies which fire homing missles are just a PITA.
I think Ive got it on medium and the rest of the game was a walk though in comparison. Only the part when u get in a mechanical exo-skeleton and have to fight a giant squid I found taxing till I learned that you had rockets too.
