Well I guess now is as good a time as any

Well I guess now is as good a time as any.

What should I know going in? I always have a hard time finding my way around these old shooters.

It has better AI than Dark Souls, so prepare for an actually difficult time.

You CAN use the Grenade Launcher for high jumps.

Quad Damage doesn't quadruple your damage.

Learn the Shambler dance.

Literally nothing. Play it yourself, Sup Forums isn't google. Why are people this desperate to make sure they're fitting in to the circle jerk?

Use Quakespasm.

its not hard to grasp but its fun

play it on hard, the difficulty select isn't a menu, it's a 3D "level" go to the far right to select hard

Nightmare difficulty is hidden

>Quad Damage doesn't quadruple your damage.

???

Rude.

Play on high, once you've learned how to deal with each enemy normal is boring.

Hi OP

For real and for the love of art if this is your first time playing it got to the forums and download the Quake Soundtrack Fix

The Quake OST is a magnificent creepy thing masterpiece

You have to install the soundtrack yourself unless you're playing off an original CD release, the GOG version comes with the OST as cue files that you can convert back into a format Quake can play then you mount it to a virtual CD drive, RIP that and then insert those into the quake music folder. Same deal for Quake 2

its NiN so its gotta be good

Use Quakespasm.

Also, play Arcane Dimensions! It's literally the best FPS ever made, and so goddamn beautiful.

>Quad Damage doesn't quadruple your damage.

It does. You're thinking about Quake 3 and later where it was nerfed to only give triple damage.

I listen Parallel Dimensions as ambience music in my room
Relaxing creepiness. The beat is dope tho, it's better to listen with headphones because the bass and high pitches of hidden sounds can't be heard sometimes on speakers.

Nope, also I'm an idiot...hard not high.

If you're the guy I replied to why are you here? It's a place to discuss Vidya and you shit on someone for doing it. Go back to your thinly veiled r9k threads faggot.

Why does the soundtrack need to be "fixed"?

before you do anything go in the console by pressing ~
type in +mlook
your'e welcome

Shut up nerd

you'll play System Shock with keyboard only and like it mister!

system shock wasn't designed for mouselook dipshit

As with plenty of games released in the 90s, Quake uses CD music playback (redbook). Obviously you're not going to have a disc containing the soundtrack somewhere, and even if you did redbook playback no longer works in modern OSs. Source ports get around this by making it able to play .mp3 or .ogg formats of the soundtrack that you can download.

Neither was DooM and even in only horizontal look it plays objectively infinitely better than all keyboard.

The music was on the CD back then, so you needed to insert the CD to open the app as a security measure and to play the game
For some reason the re releases never fixed this but there's a shitton of fixes around in the forums. It's a really great soundtrack, made with ambience in mind specifically for it by Trent Reznor.

Doom along with wolfenstein were designed with mouselook in mind just no Y axis
system shock is designed to be controlled with the keyboard while the mouse is used to interact with objects in the world and like doom you can play it with just the mouse (or joystick) by itself

>Just ordered a Cheesy Gordita Crunch from Taco Bell, what am I in for?

i've only played quake live. besides the newest one, which one has the most active multiplayer on steam?

quake live
the old games don't use steam for any multiplayer
if you want to play the original quakeworld you can just download nquake it has a retard proof installer and comes with the shareware version of quake which is all you need for multiplayer as any additional maps are just downloaded from the server

Great game, play on hard or nightmare
