They all seem so similar to me (and paint me a hypocrite for waxing nostalgic about the time of ‘purer’ FPS games, since Quake III: Arena and Unreal Tournament were largely indistinguishable). There were new breeds of “shoot-’em up” games on the market games that dominate the industry so much (and Crysis 2 was one of those) that each of them blend into one product, in my mind. The time of games so pure was over and done with. The time of Quake - as I knew it, and saw it - was over, and I found myself at peace with that fact. Crysis 2: a game with a single-player campaign so hilariously terrible that it might as well just have been a multiplayer-only game (why even hire Richard Morgan?). They just weren’t as ‘pure’ experiences.Īnd so I found myself slowly slipping into other franchises. I was aware of the other Quake games, but I found nothing of much interest in them. There was something to the honesty of the game - the minimalism, if you will - that continues to attract me to this day, even after so many years. Most recently, it was Crysis 2 (I feel ancient), a game in which I regularly ranked in the Top 50 standings in ( for the win! I’ll beat that drum to death.), despite it being the first - and only - competetive FPS game I played on multiplayer with a controller.īefore that, it was Unreal Tournament 3, prior to which I’d played Unreal Tournament 2004 (still the best, in my eyes), and the original incarnation of the game.īut long ago, I played the other one - my introduction to FPS a game I played and replayed for years down the line, one of the greatest computer (and I stress “computer”) games of all time - Quake III: Arena. However, I do have a history of playing… other sorts of games games that certain people might sneer upon as “lowbrow”. That should give you an idea of what I usually like, and what I’m like. The games which I am most fond of at the moment are Endless Legend (which I’m - admittedly - beginning to grow a little tired of, and Crusader Kings II. That said: I do have quite a substantial collection of games in my various “libraries”. I am not someone known for his love of games. This post - by the time you read it - will be a week past even that mark. As I write this, it has been exactly one week since I started playing Quake Champions.
