Today’s game is Quake. Specifically QBJ3. I saw someone talking about this and decided I’d give it a try. I’d never played Quake before this. But I saw someone talking about the modpack and thought it was pretty so I tried it. I even bought a copy of Quake 1 for it.

I really like the modpack. It’s got some some amazing artistry too it, maybe jumping headfirst into it for an evening of fun wasn’t the best idea though. I think I’d appreciate it more if I’d actually played Quake 1 before.

I played 1 map where you’re escaping from prison which was a load of fun. It went on a while though so I stopped and tried a different level.

Next I tried one called “Penis day at the Gym”. I have no clue what the hell I played but it was fun. I got a laugh out of me slipping on a banana peel to my death. I also found something called a Brutalist Butt Plug.

The final one I played I can’t remember the name of but it had something to do with a house. Design wise it reminds me of Silent Cartographer in Halo CE. I think it’s my favorite to play. It had a lot of wide openness the others didn’t.

I do think that openness works against it though too, as it maid it harder to hit targets. That ended up causing me to stop as I was fighting a group of enemies I just couldn’t get past.

I really liked this modpack, ultimately though I think it was more so a fun evening for me to mess around. When I decide to set my mind to it though I’d love to come back for an evening and finish a bunch of the levels.

That mod is so good. Of course not every map is going to blow your mind, but I haven’t yet found on I didn’t at least somewhat enjoy.

Only wish they had included some more actiony music, like doom 2016. They have some in their trailer, but ingame it’s mostly ambiance.

"So, how was your play session with Quake?"
"Oh, today was Penis day at the Gym. One of the folks also went for the Brutalist Butt Plug."

As a player of quake, nothing here looks at all familiar. No exaggeration. Looks far closer to half life than quake imo.. does look kinda cool though.

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 1 points 1 hour ago

Totally!
By thumbnails I would have guessed moded Q2 engine (idTech2, so kinda HL1)

Then again Q1 & Q2 have been rereleased in the recent years (with Doom 3 like lighting & modern Doom-like extra campaigns ... I'm just playing these extra maps now bcs I'm less weirded out by what they did or maybe bcs I've forgotten about it for a few years).

I'm still glad Quake 1 got so many amazing mods throughout the years (eg of HL1 I only remember They Hunger for some reason).

As some one who played it for years (and unreal) I didn't recognize it either. Looks cool, not my quake :D

This is the second time I've heard about "Penis day at the Gym" and I think I've got to try it

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

Yeah, it's the second time I'm hearing about it also, who knew it was a game mod too??

[–] Profligate_Parasite@lemmy.today 1 points 3 hours ago

Wow! Havent heard of this one.... looks great.

I love q1 mods... if you want one thats much more aesthetically quake, try arcane dimensions

[–] OhtoAiReal@programming.dev 8 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

The art direction gives me Red Faction Vibes.

[–] Sakurai@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 hours ago

The Quake soundtrack by Trent Reznor was a nice touch too

[–] BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 hours ago

I have to try this!

[–] Chee_Koala@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

Wow, that looks really cool.
