watched a certain YouTuber's video on the Quake 2 remaster where he kept asking why people don't like this game and ranted about how people are just parroting opinions and the people who've actually played it love it
replayed an hour of it and it turns out people don't like it because it's boring. the remaster's great and it plays fine and everything, it's just a bit boring. my genius detective work strikes again

and now with the Quake 2 remaster a whole new generation can play it and go "..."

Quake 2 might be the perfect median in gaming. it doesn't do anything too horrifically, doesn't do anything really well, it simply exists and we all have to make of it what we will.
ye i think i'd maybe feel better towards this if it wasn't a Quake game tbh. not for lore or anything but just cause they're opposites atmospherically with Quake 1 being kind of messy in things like it's aesthetic consistency but having much more unique vibes and then this taking place in a much more readable and thought-out world but just not having that same unique energy. if you didn't care about the gothyness or Nine Inch Nails then i think it'd be much easier to just see as a cool solid shooter
