I just picked up Quake 4 at lunch. The reviews say great single player but only so-so multiplayer. Is anyone going to pick this up? Anyone interested in try the MP?

Get on IRC and we'll discuss it. :)

Hello Portal, and welcome the the Martian Cartel website! I think you'll find most of the guys here are pretty cool. Feel free to have a look around and let us know if you have any questions. We like to make new people feel at home!

Oh.

Postal.

Sorry, it's been so long since I've seen you, I didn't recognize you. Drop into IRC from time to time!

I've decided to wait for this one to drop in price. I've already blown my game budget on several other titles.

If I win the lottery or can squeeze in an extra birthday, I may reconsider.

I'm waiting on a price cut too. I just I want Postal to show up on IRC. :madhop:

Well, so far Postal is making a good job of ignoring all references to his prolonged absense. Not even the blatant misspelling of his name can lure him out of his hide-out. :mad:

Its easier just to ingnor them. :)

I'm pissed at Quake 4 already. I freeze up right at the splash screen. I tried to un-install re-install and the un-install takes hours. I'll try again this weekend but if it doesn't get better then I am returning it.

Why does the uninstall take hours?

Also, I'm liking Q4 so far. It's pretty generic compared to a lot of recent shooters, but that's about what I expected because...you know...it's Quake. As 1up.com's reviewer put it, "She may be dumb, but she's pretty and fun."

I'll wait until I finish the whole singleplayer campaign before giving a recommendation, but what I've seen is pretty good if you're a Quake fan.

I finally got Quake 4 to work. I'm not sure what the hang up is but everything seems to take forever to load on my system. I have to wait about 3-5 minutes before the splash screen even goes away but at least it goes away.

So far it is an ok game. Nothing great to write home about but a good FPS.

Well I have to say the single player of Quake 4 is getting really good. Some or the cut sceens are starting to become rated R though. The one where they cut my legs off was pretty bad. Overall it looks like it is going to be a worth while single player game.

Yeah, how dare you spoil it for Q, the guy who has no interest in Quake! :) Foe, don't pretend you play anything but BF2. :o

Circuit,
Perhaps my gaming deficit disorder is not as publicized as Tai's, but I switch games more often than a fruit fly on crack*




*fruit flies on crack switch games ALOT!

Yes, I know. And every time you say "I'm hooked". BF2's just the most recent reason you stopped playing CoH. I'd ask if you intended on picking up City of Villains, but I think it would just all end in heartbreak. :(
