  No way, that game was awesome! It was actually my first quake game and the story and bosses were really cool. The scene where you’re captured was so cool and brutal.

    The Strogg were such a good enemy. Loved the idea that they used body parts of enemies to make their soldiers. I’d love to see that concept with modern graphica.

      Yeah exactly! It was shocking and cool to see an alien species harvesting humans and other animals. The Strogg seemed like a real alien military society. Half Life 2 is maybe a bit similar but I have to assume you’ve played it :)

        Honestly, I wonder who would win. The strogg or the Combine. I feel the strogg with how they could make use of the bodies of Combine soldiers.

  I replay it every now and then as a part of my normal rotation. I still can never remember what the final boss is like. The mid game tower boss is much more memorable. The core problem with Q4 is it had an idenity crisis. It was trying to be a classic Quake game, a CoD-like and a Halo-like all at the same

  I played it recently, and enjoyed it. It wasn’t quite what I wanted out of a quake game, but as a standalone sci-fi horror game, it’s a thoroughly fun romp
