Guys,have you ever seen the work of Joe Goss on Quake Lore?
THAT was something to drop your jaw in awe, not even mentioning it was done by one man only.
Now this piece of crap, \comics', is like a stupidified version of Arenas series. Why the fuck didn't bethesda collab with mr.Goss for that matter? I'm pretty sure - with that guy in their ranks they would've done a badass beautiful shit!
They want Lore to attract newcomers? WATCH THE FUCKING ARENAS, you stupid kiddie-spidy-man-pussy-ass comic lovers. Or a qIIIa intro, as a good start to think in the right direction. THAT was the shit to heat up your guts for immediate action urge in the first place, not some bullshit comic toilet paper. And kiss each other, bethgays. Because Beth is certainly 80% gay.
p.s.: and when did it happen that Sorlag has become female? haven't they played Q3/QL, not heard his roars?
and why you no TankJR, but some Crotch, not even slightly resembling anything from the Quake-Doom consistency?
and why not give that invis ability to even more sexy Hunter babe? Who is this fucking nyx?
and why enter Blazkowich, and not Duke Nukem? I mean - the logic is the same - different game, totally unrelated to Quake. What's next - Kommander Keen? Felix the cat? Gordon-fucking-Freeman? Katamari prince? Parappa-tha-rappa? Scorpion? with the ability to grapple-spike and down-high punch for 100 dmg.
Because why not, considering their line of sight.
If you, after all that, still think that Bethgaysda will follow the lore suit and make a decent dig into Quake universe, then you gotta think again, brothers and sisters.
"Sorlag (Reptiloid Alien): This mercenary Sorg merchant long ago resolved to do whatever it took to get ahead, no matter how many others had to die in order to line her coffers."
does it make the rest of the inconsistencies even slightly more legit? Please.
And even along with the old manual - why she has the stupid climacteric voice in QC then? She had a reptilishly-disgusting yet badass throaty rattle in Q3 - totally characterizing the predatorial crocodile beast, so why implement a non-suitable human voice to it?
If they wanted to go this way they shoud've hired a decent writer and go from there - make some good trailers for the fighters for starters.
And by trailers I dont mean a 40 cent framovie which highlights killing enemies playing with /handicap 1, but rather some 2 min intros on how the characters got to the Arenas Eternal, why and whats the deal with their individual skills.
But this is id and we all know how they deal with things that have a lot of potential. Even the QC version of Vadrigar is bored as fuck.
Man, it was already brilliantly done by Joe Goss! All id had to do is recruit this guy and remake/extend his work with the guy's inspiration and style.
The QC team really has to have it in their 'must do' list for every member - watch the Arenas series 1.
