Nightdive is at it, again

Simply the best way to experience Q II, it looks, plays and sounds great. And for 10 bucks (or if you were lucky enough to already own the original, it's free) there's so much content. Sure, when you think about it, it's a 1997 game with a good facelift, but it still holds well. My only complaint is that some area in the expansions have some difficulty spikes here and there where they just throw more enemies at you for some reason. Anyway, if you enjoyed the modern DOOM games or some of these indies Boomer shooters that come out every month, you'll love Quake II.

All the reviews HAVE to be updated...

A fantastic update to Q2, it's not the RTX update though, but it is now updated to modern standards but still as close to the original as they could keep it. What a fantastic move by the team. Don't hesitate, get it now and enjoy one of the best ever FPS.

Easy way to get the mission packs

I've been playing this game at least occasionally since I got it in 1998 and I consider it my all-time favorite video game, thanks in large part to all the user-made addons and levels. (And I've made a few of my own.) But I never did get the Reckoning and Ground Zero mission packs. This GOG edition was a quick and convenient way to obtain them, compared to trying to scrounge up copies on ebay or hoping to run across secondhand copies at the thrift store. The original version of the game runs fine on newer computers as far as I can tell (at least on windows 8.1), as does this version. Don't forget to go to the video menu and select "default OpenGL". Some users, however, do like the rougher look of the software mode, although transparency became completely broken with version 3.20 (and resolutions higher than around 1024x768 may crash). The GOG version includes a launcher program that simplifies starting the mission packs or the mods in the Quad Damage package. As for Quad Damage, it's a collection of user-made multiplayer mods originally freely available as downloads but which may be difficult to find now. Also included are the TRDM* and ZTNDM* map series (these appear to be part of Quad Damage) and the 64-player id Software DM maps.

Seems to become habit that the manual isn't included. Still a great game but bring in the manual please.

Would have given this a higher review but hey, playing the Reckoning my saved games stopped loading and when I tried some Yamagi mod, those same saved games disappeared. We don't live in an age where someone should have to mess around with nonsense like this to play a game. As for the base game. No music. Music files are supposedly included, but why aren't there programs included that mounts or uses that music automatically? Why do users need to again, futz around to get stuff working? Whether its Steam, GOG, or Bethesda that's at fault, there should be a soundtrack with these games. Do the extra work, and get it done. As for the game itself. Pretty bog standard marine sci-fi shoot 'em up. Same id Software weapons that you see in most games, the guns could fit right into Doom 3. The story is completely throwaway, and while the technology in the game was probably very impressive for the time, it's also completely overshadowed by Half Life that came out a year later. The game itself, can be fun at times. But as with the first Quake, the problem is the enemies. They're just not that interesting, for the most part. A lot of cyborg soldiers which aren't that distinguishable from one another. One prime example is the flying enemies, which consist of a VTOL-suit guy, a spaceship type drone and a garbage can drone. These enemies all seem to fire the same gun. The only difference is hitpoints and target size. Why do they all exist? Compare it with Doom 2's three unique flying enemies, the Cacodemo, Lost Soul and Pain Elemental. It's night and day. You can argue maybe that the enemies in Quake 2 are more granular, but they are less iconic. I don't think the game rides the tension line very well either, maybe it was because I was playing on Normal but the game was pretty easy once you get the gear. But I don't think there are a lot of big fights and big moments, and with the exception of the railgun enemies, most enemies don't feel that dangerous. It's OKAY.
