Nice play, man, thanks for bringing old memories and for excellent gameplay. I like to watch people play good on hard difficulty, using different tactics and guns!
Ahhhh... the memories ! There were DEFINITELY some secrets I realize now that I never got. I tried though. Ever try to kill the Makron with just the blaster ? Really draws out that end boss fight ! Also, I attempted to do the entire game with just the blaster, but that's just insane. I DID however try and kill every single enemy type with the blaster just to see if it could be done. Also no rocket nor BFG jumping ?... you can get some really really interesting vantage points outta that !... particularly in that last Makron space station level. Thanks for this !
I've never tried a challenge run for Quake 2 like blasters only, but that does sound fun! I feel like I would really have to learn the Makron's move set to accomplish that rather than just pumping 4x damage into him with invincibility like I did lol. That space station level was so much fun btw, I remember there being a tricky secret where if you missed a series of jumps you'd just fall to your death lol.
Well played my friend tho it does seem kinda dark. Well done nonetheless. Have you recorded the mission packs? They were a blast as well. :o) Edit: If you kill the marines. You put them out of there misery and always get rewarded with ammo.
I really wanted to, but I had trouble trying to figure out how to load the mission packs into Quake 2 RTX (the version I used for this recording). I own the mission-packs standalone, but those versions don't support 1440p unfortunately lol.
No problem! I'm glad to help! I hope someday I can record the expansion packs, but to be honest some of those expansion fights are downright insane on the hardest difficulty lol.
A few notes I pulled from my description: There were only 3 glitches the entire game affecting 100%, which I'll list out below: 1. The secret at 2:39:00 for the level Pumping Station Two is glitched. Opening that compartment is the secret, but it's always been glitched to where the secret can't register, so the most you can get for the level is 3 out of 4 secrets. 2. Near the end of the game, I believe the kill counter for Lower Palace is glitched. I ended the chapter with 70 kills, but the killer counter actually says there are 71 kills. Looking at someone else's video, their kill counter said 70/70 so I'm assuming that missing kill is just a glitch in this version of the game. 3. Similar situation with Upper Palace. I believe the most kills you can get on that level is 73, and that the counter is glitched and added on an extra two kills. I ran through the level multiple times and looked as some videos, and I never saw anyone get 75 kills.
Surprisingly, this isn't the remastered version! It's been awhile since I recorded this, but I think for this video I took the Quake 2 RTX version, and then disabled the actual RTX graphics.
Unfortunately, Shadowplay (the recording software) glitched out recording Quake 2 and made it darker than what I was seeing. I didn’t realize this until more than halfway through the game.

I'm glad you enjoyed the video, and thank you for the comment! I'm always happy to see people having nostalgia for these games!
Ah, a game for all us "old guys"... Quake 2 was awesome back in the day and still is !
Quake 2 was the best game I ever played and I still play it to this day
Quake 2 was the best game I ever played and I still love it to this day
Everthing in this game is badass. Remember the old times banging to the songs while playing, it was so fun....good memories
The ost in the intro, God it was a masterpiece
Awesome play! I’ve always just “notargeted” my way through 😅
Thx for upload. Fun times.

Thanks for this, it helped with the platinum, but i didn't enjoy this game as much as the first Quake, personally.

Weapons factory back in the early 90's beta internet was awesome, real thunderdome level.

So today after more than 2 hours of finding those lost enemies i am getting very angry
I hope the remastered for consoles is coming out this month. Plz Quake Con, make this dream real 🙌🙇♂️ because this game was actual 🔥🔥🔥 🤟❤
I didn't even know Quake 2 was getting a remaster! I'm excited to see what it looks like!
also, great gameplay btw
Hey is it Remastered version? The graphics looks hella good!
Surprisingly, this isn't the remastered version! It's been awhile since I recorded this, but I think for this video I took the Quake 2 RTX version, and then disabled the actual RTX graphics.
@@DreamSphinxGaming By the way, the Remastered version of Quake II was published by Bethesda Softworks and Nightdive Studios.
that "dootdoot computer updated" voice annoyed me so much i actually replaced it in the game PAK with a blank sound file back in the day
For me, it's strangely the opposite. I always found the computerized voice kinda satisfying for some reason lol.
How do you already have the primary and secondary objectives completed? on yours they're green on mine they're still white.
Are you playing the Remastered version? That might just be an aesthetic difference, as this is the older version of Quake 2.
Also you didn't do 100% kills, you forgot all the prisoners ;)
Prisoners cough up ammunition.
34:44 Why don't you use grenades?
no strafe- nor rocketjumping?! you have alot to learn...
i finished this game nightmare mode in 8h lol, cause some puzzles are so weird
For me:
Level 1 Secrets: 6:35
Cool🤖
A toe dryer!
are coming quake 6 if software soon ?
on guard house i could only get 55/56 kills
🎞️🎥🎬🖥️🎮👍👍👍👍
….
Original Quake II was so much better
Why is it so dark, ...can barely see anything?
Unfortunately, Shadowplay (the recording software) glitched out recording Quake 2 and made it darker than what I was seeing. I didn’t realize this until more than halfway through the game.
