Game mechanics were a lot of what always set id apart from everyone else. You could always count on them for smooth, fast-paced action, without much in the way of frills.
While their new games are still quite good, they seem to have begun to slip a bit after Carmack's departure.
- musha68k 9y agoHuge Carmack fan here but I feel the need to defend the latest hi-octane Doom incarnation from 2016 - IMHO great controls, fast old-school gameplay, superbe graphics.
- juliangoldsmith 9y agoI'd agree. The single-player for the new Doom was excellent, but not groundbreaking. The new Quake I'm not as much of a fan of, since it tries to be Quake 3 with some Overwatch bits tacked on.
- striking 9y agoIf tacking on a few Overwatch bits means I'll be able to find matches, let it be. Quake Live has been pretty dead for a while now.
- juliangoldsmith 9y agoThe matchmaking in Quake Champions is god-awful. The Overwatch bits I'm talking about are champion abilities, which is against the entire premise of Quake 3 (everyone is equal).
- musha68k 9y agoI mostly do play single player these days, which I found excellent as well :)
