I still play at least a few times a week. And there are tons of people to play with all the time at whatever skill rank I choose to play at. I also really enjoy watching Quake at LAN events such as Quakecon and Dreamhack. Judging a game based on it's graphics is a terrible practice. No real argument here, just an uninformed, angry post. 1\5 | ||

I personally enjoy it and was considering causally playing Quake Live until I realised my internet was not good enough to play properly. | ||

Its not against the game It's against the idea of bringing it on mlg/dreamhacks and forcing it on people when it's a "dead-end" route for a game far past its prime. you can still enjoy it and watch the sidestream at dreamhack or w.e but the idea it's coming back is silly. | ||

I can't believe how much energy people waste just hating stuff other people like. I wouldn't give it a specific age, it's just a certain maturity level that a lot of people on the internet don't have. | ||

Maybe its the retro graphics that stand out among the rest of the A++ games that are now being run in Esport circuits or that you can tell how good a player is as the spectating is from the first person mode always (Unlike BW where you cant see all the "hidden" apm that makes a majority of a players skill). I personally enjoy it and was considering causally playing Quake Live until I realised my internet was not good enough to play properly. Thing about the graphics are that what you see most of the times on stream are 'dumbed' down graphics. The actual graphics of the game are actually quite good. | ||

Quake 3 does so for the same reasons. On December 20 2011 22:42 dacthehork wrote: I thought quake live failed a few years ago? You are mistaken. What faild is the business model of Quake Live. Id Software banked on ingame advertising firms to generate some revenue for them while they themselfs supplied the views (really the same as every website does). However, the advertising firms all banked leaving QL with no ROI. The player numbers are still great and the game is well recieved by the players. So no, the game did not fail. | ||

Then we could stop bitching about whats interesting to people who don't even like video games and play the shit that's actually good. lol yeah I have to agree, esports is fucking lame if it means people flock to new games like flies flock to shit, just because there is money in it. | ||

I think with CSGO and MAYBE Tribes ascend we will have a new FPS that can replace it though. Love NASL picking up tribes, totally unexpected, and crazy risky, but potentially awesome. | ||
