I wasn’t sure whether to write this article. You see, I wasn’t quite as enamored with the concept of the new expansion packs as I was the old. Sure, it’s nice to have more Quake, but I was bummed that they only used the base-game content. Plus they ignored all the new assets/weapons/enemies from the expansion packs. But I wanted to complete the entire set, and was curious to see what sort of gameplay updates developers had figured out in the many years since the originals released. Dimension of the Past This first expansion pack was released in 2018, to… [Continue Reading]

A Review Of Quake’s Expansion Packs (Part 1)

May 16, 2022May 8, 2022 aabicus 0 Comments dlc, expansion, quake, retrospective, review

On April 19 2021, the Steam version of Quake got a massive enhancement update. It added graphical updates, cross-play multiplayer, restored original soundtracks, and four expansion packs. Two of these, Scourge of Armagon and Dissolution of Eternity, were the canonical expansions released back during Quake‘s normal commercial cycle. The final two (Dimension of the Past and Dimension of the Machine) were added decades later, as free celebratory add-ons. This article will be focused on the earlier pair, with hopefully another for the latter two coming later. Quake For a Modern Audience Before I played through these, I re-completed the original… [Continue Reading]

Random Thoughts on the Witch Queen Campaign

For my birthday, my brother bought me a copy of Witch Queen, the new expansion for Destiny 2. I had been holding off buying it for myself for quite a long time, due to the fact that I don’t really play much Destiny 2 in general. However, since it had been gifted to me, brother and I decided to play through the main Witch Queen campaign, a whole new story to be unraveled. In all honesty though, I’m not too sure about it all. I can’t tell if I liked it or not. Felt short Maybe it’s because I wasn’t… [Continue Reading]

As you might have heard through multiple news sources, Destiny 2 is getting a massive rework on November. One concerning fact is that 4 locations are becoming inaccessible after Beyond Light. Before we get into why is this happening we got to take a look at the bigger picture regarding how many barriers are set up for new players and how much relevant content you can play currently. A quick recap on the story: To address the elephant in the room, those monolithic Pyramids were part of the main plot on the Shadowkeep expansion. One derelict was found buried under… [Continue Reading]

On the new Destiny 2 expansion – There is actually stuff to do!

November 2, 2018November 1, 2018 Spectre 0 Comments analysis, comparison, destiny, destiny 2, dlc, expansion, forsaken

So it’s been a while since I talked about the Destiny franchise. Almost a half year ago I bashed the new installment pretty hard on the downsides that featured, because there were… many. Truth be told, ever since a shiny refurbished exotic weapon quest was re-introduced on Destiny 2 back in July, the gameplay aspects gradually got better by the time the Forsaken expansion dropped. For this article I’ll be little more biased towards the positive side. Even though the game still has flaws here and there, I’ll save my long angry rant on the topic of duplicate exotics giving… [Continue Reading]
