Why did Quake Champions never take off?

>matchmaking
>With 500 players total
>Split across 10 server
>Split across 13 game modes

You get matched with the same 10 quake dad's and pro leet MLG players every time.

No server browser or custom content is a absolutely sacraligious act for a Quake game

What happened to that unreal tournament game?

i honestly didnt even know it existed

I thought people were talking about Quake Live

Larpers.

People who like Quake didn't want a hero shooter and people who like hero shooters didn't want Quake.

A shame because all the chicks are hot as fuck.

Epic killed it in favor of Fortnite.

tried to appeal to both people who didn't like the genre and older gamers who can't really play competitive pvp games anymore

>A shame because all the chicks are hot as fuck.
That's just continuing the trend from Quake 3. They couldn't make them as curvy and exposed-skin-y this time with Bethesda looming over their shoulder, but made them appealing in various other ways instead. If only they'd kept the grody gore in the designs from Q3 as well.

It's pretty gory still. People explode into bloody bits, pools of blood, blood smeared all over walls.

I meant the character designs themselves. Q3A had everyone covered in blood all the time, huge chunky robot parts sticking out of limbs, peeling skin and intertwined wires and everything. QC only really keeps that for Visor.

True, there were more variety in gross designs. There's too many clean looking humans in QC

Post the red suit.

Don't jerk off to graphics card ads.

You can't have an Arena Shooter without a modding community because an Arena Shooter is also a promise to give aspiring devs the keys to the engine.

Its like if Little Big Planet didn't have map creation, whats the point then, you're selling a basic mediocre FPS.

Fag.

lets see
>quake champions releases on steam
>f2p but you only get one gamemode
>bethesda makes quake live $10 despite it being free for years
they completely killed a great game for a DOA game

>You get matched with the same 10 quake dad's and pro leet MLG players every time.
Actually no.

>shoddy engine and netcode that still persists to this very day
>obscene loading times and shit UI makes it take ages for you to get in a match
>no server browser
>high system requirements for a type of game where over half of its existing audience is Slavs playing on Soviet-era toasters
>champions system was lambasted by (pseudo-)boomers who just hate change, but where most others disliked it because it was shoddily implemented and had severe balancing issues for a long time (Anarki ADAD spam, Sorlag's spit and movement being OP, Ranger's instant telefragging)
>it took them TWO years to release the second-most popular game mode of Quake: time-limit duel
>and they STILL haven't added Clan Arena, which is the most popular arena shooter game mode of them all
>the rough state of the game in the Early Access beta deterred streamers from willing to play it longer than need be
>no modding support
>tutorials are still lacking where it matters
>changes to core gameplay ruleset (mega/red spawning both at 30 secs instead of 35/25, shotgun doing more damage and having greater range) dumbs the game down in some regards on top of the champion abilities

>>obscene loading times and shit UI makes it take ages for you to get in a match
Lolwut? For em it take 2-4 minutes to to find match and less than minute to get into it.
>>and they STILL haven't added Clan Arena, which is the most popular arena shooter game mode of them all
Except they added Clan Arena

Ive been playing for the last year and always able to find a game, I dont know what you mean

Why the fuck would Epic EVER make a new Unreal when FORTNITE is making a killing??

This is true, but I mean more than consistent 1k players. 1k is enough, but why hasn't it maintained say 10k-15k? I believe it can, it's fun and I have played it on and off ever since launch.

Because they've added clientside hit detection. You can have people in ranked use netlimiter to delay their packets while you're frozen on their end so they just instagib you when they unlimit it. It's fucking embarassing that a 20 year old game has better netcode.

No offline solo campaign. Moust people just want multiplayer only. Also Master Race only.

No local or offline play. Takes ages to launch.

Older peeps don't really invest for long in multiplayer games and lie about wanting a new Quake 3, younger peeps already have Overwatch and Paladins and whatever.

So who's the market?

I never got the jerk-circle about Nyx and that, she's just a girl with blue hair.
Q3 had a morbidly obese cyber-hussy, an actual pornstar extraordinaire, a cyberpunk skater girl loaded with meaty grafts and implants, a butchered aging commando, a ripped amazon, crash i guess, and sorlag. Each and every one of them moaned like they were getting paid for it, even sorlag.
If they're continuing this as a gibby shooter, where's the dirt, grunge, corruption and blood? Nyx doesn't even begin to fit in the same world as Cadavre and Tank. It doesn't look anything like any Quake, they've all got the aesthetics of rusty iron and rotten meat. It doesn't stand out from anything else around it either, which is a crushing failure.

I'm starved for arena shooters, should i reinstall it?

I dont think it is logically possible to idiot proof the game further to cater to noobs, its simply too hard and fast for mainstream normies and too easy for older quake fans. I like it tho

the poster character being a blue-haired literal who is a good red flag before anything else

Loot boxes LMAO

Yes.

It's a shity overwatch clone with a quake skin.

>15-20 seconds to load into a match.
fucking bullshit
you spent average of 2 minutes find a QC match
if only there a option to keep playing with the same group

it sucks.

real shame that probably the hottest modeled girl ever is stuck in it. she should get her own game.

People will give a million excuses as to why they're not playing. But in the end, it's only because arena shooters are dead. Quake and other arena shooters are inky mentioned for street cred. No one actually plays any of them.

>Great Makron, the new recruit is finished!

i am a quake dad. heres why quake champions failed in a nutshell

>play the game for the first time
>end up map screen comes up
>cant see all the scores and shit?
>it goes back to matchmaking instead of just continuing to another map??????????????

it's quake in name only, really has nothing to do with quake

Because arena shooters were never big

I thought you were talking about loading times.

>its not arena shotter
>its because arena shooters are dead

Too much change for boomers and too hard for zoomers. Hate to use those meme terms but that's exactly what the issue is. Also the engine is shit and there was never enough content.

So many fucking retards in here. Its cleary quake. You can bunny hop, its an arena shooter, it has the quake damage, you win via map and item control. The score screen isnt what made quake 3 quake. Also all the quakes are completely disimilar, 1 2 3 and 4 are all completely different. Was quake 4 also not quake? Fuck me dead

I still think it would've had some significance of success if they dropped the blue haired goblin and added some sexy F.A.K.K like female characters.

because the game was a mess on release in terms of optimization and netcode and apparently it still is a fucking mess

matchmaking should be illegal in pc fps

Where's Crash

you wouldn't know what quake was because you weren't alive when quake came out.

>Was quake 4 also not quake?
Yeah, quake 4 is definitively not quake since id didn't make it, retard.

Arena shooters died for a reason.

how did you even come up with this point from that sentence? why do esl posters even bother responding before learning english?

And that reasoning being?

I would trade that for Nyx so fast. I wish Xena boob ladies would come back. It never would.....

But Q3 and UT were among the largest esports titles.

Arena shooter fans are an extremely obnoxious vocal minority who don't even want to play games. Literally nothing has been stopping them from supporting Quake 3 or various UTs throughout the years. They are all talk.
If fucking stinky smashers could haul CRTs everywhere and keep their game alive for over a decade they have no excuse.

gaming went mainstream and went to shit

Better multiplayer games happened.

Quit larping faggot you clearly dont know shit about anything.
>hurr im old
Me too retard this website is also old, many of us have been here for a decade or more

>Quake 3 2
>Actually, less features than Quake 3
>Lootboxes
>W-we got them overwatch abilities, PLEASE PLAY ZOOMERS!
>Shit netcode
>Zero damage rockets
>Matchmaking only
Im surprised anyone even gave it the time of day.
