You asked for it! No, really, a shocking number of people have asked about Quake 4,  like really a metric "shit-tonne." So, I dusted it off and completed my first playthrough of the game since ~2006 and made a video. The video only really came together around the fifth day of editing when I decided to cut significant portions of it that sucked. There's about five minutes of material cut from this video and it's all in the trash where it belongs. I am very confident what's left is that good shit.

Enjoy the sweet embrace of another Raven game where the worst thing you have to deal with is a part that is mostly fine I guess. There is a John Carmack joke in this video but it's partially obscured. Times are tough and I've had to start rationing them.Keep it greasy, 

-CivvieP.S. There will be a Christmas special this year. Get ready for a very happy night._________________________________

Patron discord link: https://discord.gg/hHmmq4ts8QThe discord link SHOULD be working again now. Not sure why it wasn't before.

If you'd like to have a different name in the credits than what you pledged with, leave me a comment, or DM me on here or Twitter or discord or whatever. If your name is wrong, not included, or anything else, shoot me a message calling me an asshole and telling me to fix it.

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 so if you don't see your name,  it will be in the next upload.

Excellent. I was wondering if you'd touch on Q3 or jump to Q4. Either way, is it pronounced Straw-ggification or Strow-ggification? Let's find out.

civvie11

It is definitely “straw-ggification.” Strogg rhymes with log. Trust me. I’m expert.

jugularSignal

I remember being so excited for this game, being the first time I was old enough to play a Quake game at launch

nx

thanks Civvie! would that 5 mins possibly appear on Patreon at some point?

nx

ok, np. thanks for making this video!

Tom O'Brien

Well shit...there go my responsibilities as an upstanding citizen yet again in favour of another Civvie injection. They tell me it should stop seeping after the third day but we've got Quake to cover!

Kyron Meza

Can we get a Scrapped Parts special? That would be so crap that it will actually be good 👀

Kyron Meza

Come on, Quake 4 is not THAT bad, is it?... I actually enjoyed a lot

Jae Armstrong

Am I misremembering or is Kane not supposed to be the protagonist of the N64 version of Q2? That had a different campaign and plot to the PC one. And I have a vague memory that it was on a space station?

The Try Hards

Another game I played the demo for over and over when I was young. Playing through it as an adult I never really got the spooky scary feel I did as a kid.

NerdyOgre254

If it makes you feel any better Civvie, I was horny well before I subbed to your channel

GrafOrlockVII

Thank you so much for the content, Civvie. I love your content and find myself watching and rewatching your stuff.

Faraday Typewriter

My guess? Anything from stagnation of voice acting to the fact that it is really hard to miss it once you notice.

Azrathrall

I actually just played though this game for the first time in a decade, and gotta say, the mech section is the absolute worst.

Argon Productions

An absolute Sunday treat, Civvie. Thanks. I'm just like you - played it at release back then and that was it. A crazy nut job guy on Blogger from back in the day gave this game a 0/10. I always remembered that. (The chapter title at 36:15 didn't appear on the video timeline)

What was that game at the end, that looked like a modern version of Descent?

civvie11

That's Overload, a modern spiritual successor to Descent, made by some of the same devs iirc. It's really cool. If you want to get really sick, there's a VR mode.

HallowedRevenant

Civvie this was my favorite game as a kid so I was waiting for this one for so long, thanks for doing a great job yet again!

Scott

I remember hating this game when it came out, had mostly only played Quake 1 and was turned off by the story. Been thinking about revisiting it for a while now, I'll watch this and go from there. Also Pro Yoda Stories when Civvie?

Travis Linn

As a Linux asshole, an arch linux asshole at that. JOIN US. We're all masochists that enjoy breaking our computers. Unfortunately the video editing software is not up to snuff yet. But my AMD card straight up works better under Linux and the steam deck is basically making 90% of what I play just work on my desktop as well. You do still gotta keep a windows partition for anticheat games.

Corhellion

You know you can shoot the green teleport orbs in the network towers to stop the strogg from teleporting in. Makes some of the fights a lot easier.

BDP Illustrations

Never played this, might end up being a steam sale purchase to try it. Feels like the real jank will be seen in the coming months, like Requiem: Avenging Angel.

SpilledAntifreeze

I freaking love Quake4, no matter what people say. The Strogg design here is unmatched. Great that Civvie got to reviewing it!

Mario_bland

The fact that 5 minutes of this are cut and it's still 40 minutes shows how much work goes into any of these videos. I'm glad to support your need for a toilet.

Tolshak

You know you really should do a video on Aria of Sorrow. It really could use more exposure to kids who didn't grow up with the GBA, and I'd love to hear you go on about how great/goofy it is. The Castlevania Advance Collection version on Steam seems to run pretty wel

matt

there have been a lot of better games than quake 4 but I still love it. Q4 was a better sequel than D3.

TonySki

At the very end with the Police Squad bit, the table thing ends like maybe a second before the actual credit screen shows.

Burning Fish

Oh god, the credits. Thank you.

Jared Martin

Love the video Civvie, Just be careful. Keep crying like that and they will put you in the grease mines to power Randy Pitchfords next game.

John C. Armack

Always enjoy the Perilous Warp shade.

Robot Dinosaur

Perilous Warps are the new currency, so this video is ahead of its time

Zubaz

I couldn´t remember if I liked this game or not, except for the Maidn redesign which was great. But yeah, I probably didn´t like the game.

CyborgParrot

I'm gonna take a wild guess and assume the Christmas episode will involve Postal?

Harriet Amoros

Amazing video ALSO DO I SEE HELLSLINGER IN THE CREDITS?!

Harriet Amoros

awesome! can't wait to see what you think of it in the future

Melon Head

Oh hell yeah! I loved Descent, so I'm definitely gonna check it out. Time to grab the vomit bucket and my VR headset.

TheCondroid

The Day of the Dead reference with Rhodes gave me so much serotonin.

J.R.Rosstein

This is going to sound a little whiny, but, uhhh, are there any exclusive/newer videos we get with the patreon? edit: I like all the videos, it would be nice if $$ = even more videos

Greg richardson

Yeah the what's civvie playing stuff is exclusive. Plus we got this video earlier than YouTube.

I remember being so mad when I realized “it’s just doom 3 but brighter!” Exact quote from my friend at launch. Online was pretty fun but definitely not quake
