Bang bang, you blast me down.

Doom, Quake, Wolfenstein - hard to imagine how FPSs would look today without these bad boys paving the way. Whether it's rocket-jumping in front of your friends' face or strafing to avoid making eye contact with a particularly nasty demon, everybody's fond memories are bound to include an awesome bit from the gory arenas of these celebrated id classics.

Now is the best time to brush up on your face-blasting skills - after all, you never know when you'll be called back into action...


The <span class="bold">Bethesda shooter sale</span> will last until August 28, 1 PM UTC.
Forum popping as well.

Doom 3 and Quake 4 still missing... :(

There's not much to buy for germans in this promo.
They're not Bethesda's shooters just like Fallout 1 isn't a Bethesda RPG. No co wy chłopaki? Co za idiota to pisał?
high rated
I thought Bethesda's timeless shooters were The Terminator: Future Shock, The Terminator: Rampage, The Terminator 2029, and others...

Are these games (still) banned in Germany? Which of them?

It looks like a decent price for Doom, especially if you're cRPG gatherer and want to get The Elder Scrolls: Arena and The Elder Scrolls Chapter II: Daggerfall to your GOG library (:
Hmm I own all the games from this sale, although as someone mentioned Doom3 and Quake4 are still missing...
I don't have enough time to search for more details, other than GOG reviews and wiki, but Quake 3 is just a multiplayer exclusive game. There is nothing for a singleplayer gamer like myself, other than selecting a multiplayer map and playing against bots.

At least with Unreal Tournament, again as far as I understand from my limited investigating, you have a grinding progression system which rewards you for playing the maps against the bots?

This is not a jab at Quake vs UT, I'm actually interested in having this settled. Again I'm talking exclusively about the singleplayer experience of the games.

Germans can only buy Doom 1+2 and Quake 1, the others are apparently still banned here.

Just Wolfenstein and RtCW are banned (Wolfenstein for the gore level, RtCW because of Nazi symbolism).
The other titles are just forbidden to be rated, i.e they must not be sold to minors.

In Germany there's an "Index" of games that must not be rated by the German rating institution.
Rated games may be advertised publicly (even if rated 18+), unrated games must not be advertised but can be sold to adults.
I've heard that Quake 3 is pretty much just a tournament style, preferred MP game.

Is this true?
Wouldn't it be nice to think we might be getting some more games from Beth.

Its single player campaign is basically a sequence of deathmatches with bots, yes. Just like Unreal Tournament, really (though UT has more game modes).

It's quite fun and entertaining, I miss bots immensely in games like Titanfall.

But it may not be your cup of tea.

Yeah, it's like unreal tournament. Very fun multiplayer, but its singleplayer botmatches aren't as fun for me compared to unreal tournament.

edit : damn bearded ninjas :P
