Actually quite interesting to hear from people who have played fps but not in a hardcore sense, like very casual. And I agree with them 100%.

that's why i posted it.
I'm assuming it was recorded before the actual update release.
They didn't seem to understand "classic" being unranked and the slight changes to it.
Hoping they do another cast after actually playing.

pat said you have double jump where you can jump again at a peak of the first jump like UT, so that killed the credibility you gave him.

Sure, but all those points seemed a bit general to me. It wouldn't have hurt them to spend 30 minutes installing the game, playing an FFA match and uninstalling just to see how it is, instead of just picking random posts from the internet. That would have been much more professional, IMHO.

I agree, but how many of them would actually want to voice their opinions on here, when their future pockets could be lined with the gold of the game title companies / sponsors?

Maybe some "retired players" might have some input!

even casual quake players dont like the update.
they could make a lot of changes to the game like more achievements and other bullshit, without even touching the gameplay, i believe it would get much more people to like quake.
it needs hats. or levels and shit.

Like DOM, RR, FT? These modes should be "casual", Duel, CA, TDM, CTF, maybe even FFA - "competitive". Especially RR is good, because even if you die, you continue to play.

Reviewers often don't play everything they review intensively.
If you can take anything away from those it's that they are positive feedback from a (relative) newbie perspective. Isn't that the demographic the devs were aiming at?

Dude, do you need some donations for your microphone, you said in another video you use your webcam, I think I've seen you stream before, but I don't know if you still do it, if you're gonna stream and need new gear say it, maybe some people in the community are generous, I'll give you $5 to have fun on craigslist, jk $6. No but seriously are you trying to grow your channel and stuffs with Quake?

It's a catch 22 situation, get a game good enough so people want to play it loads, and when its v g, then they are to blame for taking the players time up? Weird science.

Played with partially disabled loadouts today, and CTF was good.
