SyncError should pay for killing ESR.

Nah, I think ESR mostly hated QC and since QC is the only semi-active Quake game, ESR got left behind.

I don't think it would have been that dead if QC wasn't around. It passed the test of time for years and years with all quake sequels until QC...

I really can't imagine ESR being dead with ql being the main id deathmatch game and QC not being around.

how I see it is that QC failed to kill QL, but succeeded in killing ESR

Esr is no more dead than it was 6 years ago. Theres just less to be excited about. Big whoop.


I hardly play quake but I can still log into QL or load up q2 and enjoy it the same as I always have. Theres still regulars and I don't see the point in crying about QC since it is mostly irrelevant. Its trash, its a fact. If you like it play it, if not play early proper quake.

"Yesterday I came home from quake" Yup, thanks heartless for making it abundantly clear how stupid we all sound sometimes.

ql is not enjoyable like q3 was.

actually even cpma was not enjoyable like q3 was, and the users here on the forums along with most players at the time anyway knew that too

I can agree. It was the hype around ql and what it could have become that made it worth anything. Steam port was absolutely idiotic.

QC did not kill anything, because dead things cant kill.

It cannot even move, never will be a new content in the game, 5 maps out of 9 are garbage.

Yeah this is the end of quake series for good until idsoft gets disbanded and sells quake franchise to make last bit of money.

Esr mods killed esr.

"a distant 2nd is that it could have been a really great game and actually, it has some great features... but the super slow progress, the wrong directions and investing a huge amount of money while the game wasn't even close to a stable version, surely didn't help "

I would put that in #1 the game has a lot of untapped potential, but lazy devs are the reason it's failed.

They've had PLENTY of time to make it better, plenty of fucking time but they have failed horribly.

This game should've been the redemption of quake, on par with OW but it's not the sweat that came off Tracer's non-existant left testicle.

Stop fantasizing about Tracer with testicles. :P

You can't unsee it now.

Have you ever noticed how if you abstain from plussing for a couple of weeks, you will unleash a huge load on the next person you plus?

Not really. Really?

I don't know exactly how it works, but I've noticed that if I plus a few times in a row, the percentage goes down.

Never noticed it.

I guess it makes sense so that one guy can't just dispense an infinite amount of "popularity".

Like ejaculation.

Precisely. :D

small load even though I haven't plussed for a while...

The max load is relative to your "popularity" rating.

yea, I am not very active for some time, used to cum hard. I can only guess that staying active also helps ;)

:D

Yeah, I think popularity might go up for making posts as well. If you're inactive, it gradually goes down.

Thanks for the spooge anyhow.

Rule 34, it exists somewhere

ESR kill Old Quake. New Quake kill ESR. ESR dead. Old Quake dead. New Quake dead. Everything dead.

Well, ESR was primarily a Q3A site and after that came Q4 and QL, which were still very very similar, but just attracted less players, for the most part they were just a rehash, and QL got released in 2009 or 2010 and its just a very long time for a non-serviced game ... at some point new players just dont begin playing and older players fade out ... the player population reflects on ESR and community sites are also not anymore en vogue, its now all going to portals ... QC talk has shifted to reddit, facebook gaming groups ...

Good bye QC talks

well QC is currently the best arena shooter, even better than diashitical.
(technical issues aside)

but when youre old and now bad at games, you wont make the switch to a different game than q3 from 1999.

its like that.

Won‘t play

LMAO
please tell me you get money for advertising QC

That they made Quake Live $10 because they know no one would play shit ass QC if there wasn't a paywall blocking people from the superior game.

Everybody here should install Warfork on steam and get a little behind this. It is not going to become crazy popular but at same time its very similar to QL and is not hidden behind paywall, its free, its 600mb.

New players are trying, number of servers is growing. I say support this game a little in its steam release next few weeks and probably it can build a playerbase to at least match QL and QC.

Have an XP machine, i can't play Warfork.

If there is one thing that killed ESR it's the slow infestation of stupid threads and posts that evolve around sanchez or other baboons, exceeding the tolerance level of forced slow-witted mumbojumbo pluschasing, in return making even the lowest of memes spontaneously go facepalm and hide in shame.

That and the remaining group of old fags who can't get over their failed game and feel the need to bring it up every 2 months.

Exactly thats what esr is about. Weird socialization and keeping the truth about real Quake alive.

Pray to God Sanchez nubz

it was my "jew" jokes that killed this place.

netcode fails and borked sound
