So I been working on this video for about three weeks and the entire thing was like pulling teeth. Quake 2 is a punishingly boring game to talk about and the constant "Pro Quake 2" posts get to stop now because doing a Pro episode on Quake 2 would be like doing a mukbang video on 10 gallons of oatmeal. I'm looking forward to the DOS trash I have lined up for the next video because at least I get to feel something again.

Or if you want one of those fancy colored names that everyone gets now if they want. The credits in the video are usually a couple of days behind the actual patron list.

Pro STALKER when civvie?

Terry T. [ERROR]

I swear these carmak descriptions get more and more convoluted each time and I LOVE IT!

10/10 title

God I love you Civvie, I have not watched this but I was watching Quake 1 today thinking "Fuck man I want to see Quake 2!"

gill

why would you quake 2 heads do this to our wonderful civvie

Zambri

I've unironically loved Quake 2 since I was a kid so I appreciate you taking this bullet specifically for me, Civvie.

Allen Christian

Oh shit. Just did a Quake 2 video myself, last week. https://youtu.be/rLub-ua2pNU Always felt pretty alone in hating this game for being such a boring, soulless slog. I was surprised to get a few agreeing comments, now I'm happy to hear you feel similar. Hard disagree that Rage is worse, though. Also did Rage video. It's shit and weird and dull, but at least it has ideas, not just doing the same ol' shit, just worse.

ToolofParanoia

Ah yes... the Strowg 😂 Setup for the pronunciation bit in Quake 4.

Thom Venables-Gordon

I felt the line “I will know where the rail gun is on The Edge until I die” within my very soul.

Bradley Harris

Aww, man...I like this game. Can I still give you money even though I have bad opinions? =...(

Brian Rich

Yeah, I remember getting into my first death-matches back in '97 and bragging to the other players about the awesome 3dFX graphics I totally didn't have yet. I also remember trying to justify my love for the game to my friends by exaggerating about the technical capabilities it offered in terms of AI, graphics and that gimmick where the enemies would look damaged at half health (I convinced my buddies who didn't have the PC hardware to run the game that it recorded every bullet hit on an enemy and displayed it on the models).

Czaro Madison

I played this when I was just a wee lad. Checked it out recently and it has not aged well... all the ray tracing in the world can't fix that. Nice to see its legacy as a glorified tech demo carry on though

Nickcronomicon

Pro Kiss Psycho Circus: The Nightmare Child when, Civvie? (Ps thanks for this <3)

SteelyGaze

Excellent video. I've read about your...not disdain, but disinterest toward Q2, a game which defined a huge chunk of my childhood and I was expecting something that was just bashing toward a game that didn't deserve it, but I should know better. Intelligent (and funny) videos like this are why you are the only video creator I pledge to on Patreon. This was a well-thought out critique that made a ton of sense. This was the moment a company lost their "soul". And I remember Q2's launch being more than a little messy, and yet devoured by the faithful quite blindly.

Kurt Hectic

Great vídeo. I never played Quake 2 and it's one of ID games that i don't care, i was hooked at Doom 2 and other games.

Caleb Cooper

Quake 2 multiplayer was also my first online multiplayer. There were some really cool maps. Good Video.

BrandoTonyo

Would you ever do the old blizzard games like blackthorn, Diablo, Starcraft or Warcraft 2 Civvie? Great video as always Civvie.

racx_00

Quake 2 was a real slog to get through, I find it so boring. Good job Civvie!

Argon Productions

Thanks Civvie. If Quake II (or Rage) is the worst id game, then what about Quake III? Ha. I have completed Q2 and Q4 exactly once each, 12 or 13 years ago. That’s all those games needed. Something I really appreciate about your videos: you do a good job of planting expectations for future topics, which gives the entire series a sense of progression. Thanks again.

pukl

I ain’t afraid of no quake!

Zubaz

Hmm i always liked quake 2 as kid though. I really liked the enemie design, especially the Tanks.

King Ed

I've playing Quake 2 again . I enjoy it. It just needs more blood, gibs and an automap.

Declan Boss

I swear you read my mind, Civvie. Just days ago I was thinking "I wonder when we'll see Pro Quake 2".

MainelyLiving

Thank you for the video man! Keep up the great work! Also, I think this game makes a big difference when you are 13 and have NEVER seen anything like it before. This was insane when I was a kid. I couldn't play it enough!

Scarfulhu

I always thought I loved Quake 2 but this is making me realise that I never did finish it once. I need to go home and think about my life.

onebandit

havent watched the video yet, but i do want to add that i personally enjoy your content more when youre covering a game you like. dont pull too many teeth, or you wont be able to enjoy the bread, yknow?

Alaoo213b

I think my name is missing from your pateron credits.

WaltManTutorials

Ah yes, another masterpeee..... ahem... it just works, sort of. lol

RemnantCult

I can't stand the new health symbol. I understand that the red cross association are a bunch of prudish boomers but using a blue symbol for ambulances isn't a good replacement.
