The FALL of Earth | The First Strogg War & Quake Wars | FULL Quake Lore

[@Skyrionn]

Quake videos tend not to do too well with the algorithm but I love the lore. Any interaction is appreciated! What is the best Quake game?

[@WhoFarts112]

Quake 1 and Enemy Territory Quake Wars :D

[@TpoJioJio47]

i have a feeling Quake is incomplete

[@SpacemarineHelldiver]

Its ok man we appreciate your effort. My favorite definitely is Quake 4. This franchise deserves a second chance

[@nicholaskennedy3996]

quake 3 arena i have yet to do deathless max xearo im scared of that monster

[@dr.robotnik3684]

Quake 2 all day long.

[@samuelantoniocastillomeza5034]

I love that even for how formidable and fearsome the Strogg are, they aren't invincible but are resourceful to a creepy degree.

[@ceu160193]

Lore behind Strogg is limited, but that's what we know so far - originally Strogg were just normal species, in same manner humans are, but their excessive industrialization left their planet almost devoid of life. In attempt to avoid death from pollution, they began changing themselves with cybernetic implants, to absolutely insane degree. Eventually, birth rates dropped to zero, and their leader declared essentially war on universe - to keep Strogg alive, they would harvest biomass of entire planets. I did play Quake Wars, it's kind of like Battlefield - 5 classes from each side, armored vehicles, aircraft, objectives to hack/destroy, side objectives.

[@anuvisraa5786]

I had a fan teory that they where a parallel universe earth that was where the first quake starts

[@JadziaFil]

​@@anuvisraa5786 question remains how they traveled from one universe to another

[@kinglydagon6035]

​@@JadziaFil some form of a slipgate that runs on a specific fuel(energy source, etc). A fuel that doesnt exist in the quake universe, leaving them trapped, combing the universe for such a fuel. Just a theory tho

[@tudodenovo544]

This is like if we won the seven hour war

[@Floodsye]

So multiplayer devs are wondering why their games are flopping...and they haven't though of making a Enemy Territory: Quake Wars 2...the universe and invasion time period are literally MADE for a faction vs. faction mass scale mp shooter. The first one was limited heavily by it's era (and not exactly the greatest map designs and performance issues), but with today's tech...could be something truly spectacular and the Quake name would sell it by itself.

[@madnox9538]

Now here is a Game that deserves a true Remake.

[@danilonakazone386]

I would pay full price for a good Quake 2 remake

My beloved Quake. Beautiful to see, I hope we get a new release soon.

[@riseuplights5017]

I remember when I played Enemy Terrritory: Quake Wars, a long time ago, and as with most of these online games, I missed the opportunity to play when it was live. Living in Brazil, I didn't have true internet to play games until adulthood, and do I played it offline with bots. Even so, I had a lot of fun playing alone in all maps, imagining how it would be playing it with a bunch of people. The game had potential, and to this day, when I'm at work, watching the seconds to clocking out, I still say in the voice of the human announcer "thirty seconds" even so only I get the reference.

[@clutchmustango]

I am so excited to see you cover this series. I have memories of being cut in pieces and turned into part strogg

[@GlidingZephyr]

I love the Quake series! Thank you for uploading this. Looking at the onset of the Strogg conflict, it seems to me that our civilization had just reached Level 1 on the Kardashev scale during the 2060's, while the Strogg had been at Level 1 for quite some time before discovering our presence. Maybe even at the cusp of reaching Level 2. Even playing through Quake 4, the Strogg were depicted as having a noticable technological advantage, but we had two strengths they lacked: Adaptability and access to more untapped resources. In my opinion, those factors were key to our eventual victory.

[@tigerofdoom]

I didn't realize there was this much lore in Quake, but it is funny how similar the story is to Half-Life. It also reminds me of how using the Tesseract in the MCU "announced to the universe that humanity was ready for a higher kind of war".

[@LoneWanderer905]

Damn, I've never been this early. Refreshed the home page and this video showed up right on time.

[@bestofmoh]

I have waited soo long for this video thanks 😊

[@VeryScarySmile]

I wanna see a Quake game that revolves around a 3 way battle between Earth, the Strogg, and Doom's demons. I love ids multiverse.

[@suprlite]

Hmm, i wonder what a clash between the strogg and combine empires would turn out?

[@karenbaldwin2867]

They seem like the kind of factions that would try to out war crime each other. Now strogg versus Galactic Empire would be entertaining to watch.

[@suprlite]

@@karenbaldwin2867 how about combine OR strogg vs the DOOM hell-dimension?

[@Anti-NPC]

​@@suprlitewould be interesting to watch Combine would probably win

[@Imkyotto]

The Combine are multiversal empire and the Stroggs are just some dudes with planets here and there

[@aleehaider372]

Well crafted video!! Ur knowledge is unmatchable about the lore. And your Thumbnails are always so expressive. Can't resist watching your vid. Keep it going

[@antcow1239]

the invasion of Stroggos was BRUTAL. It was a death world meat grinder loaded with killer cyborgs that would use your dead body to make more troopers or soup they would eat.

[@danilonakazone386]

I love Quake history. The Lore is so deep, know even more with Quake 1 and 2 being linked. I want more Quake lore please!

[@JadziaFil]

And Quake is also in the same universe as Doom, Commander Keen, and Wolfenstein so lore goes so deep

[@unblessedcoffee1457]

Maaan, enemy territory had such a cool concept then we pretty much never got any story content.

[@Ben_of_Langley]

I've played all the quake games and other than Doom half life and halo I'd say that quake is by far one of my favourite games next to doom I'd love for you to cover the rest of the quake war from the second quake going onwards it really is cool and Cheers for the upload

[@mrfrenly.wowwww]

Saved to watch later for when I'm finished on the farm. Hell keen for this one!! Quake + Malice and Quake 2 were my favourite single player fps games when I was in my teens. Less fucken sketit

[@UlyssesCrab]

Did you do a little homage to The Storyteller in this video? I smiled a huge smile when you said “that’s a story for another time” :)

[@Imkyotto]

I hate so much that we dont have a continuation for Quake 4 ):

[@crxtodd16]

I love this, thank you. Has some parallels to the Borg, but creepier and in some ways more scary. So cool.

[@baldmanevil]

The Strogg invasion of Earth is fascinating, my own speculation is that the Strogg were chiefly interested in the original slipgate complex from Quake 1, which would explain their invasion of Texas. I was going to mod the war on Earth as a strategy game although I could not complete that I managed to bring several of the vehicles to star alongside Quake 2 and Quake 4 models.

[@masoniund4584]

Awesome Video! More Quake Lore please!!!

[@grasshopper-ln9us]

Ik the strogg storyline isnt the most popular amongst quake fans but quake 2/4 are two of my favorite games and the storyline ia one of my favorites along with the half life story

[@gamealot25]

Not going to lie I love quake. t Thank You so much for the time and effort you put in making these videos. The next game I would love to hear you talk about is Wing Commander.

[@mehomuiki3886]

Never knew there was a story in quake XD

[@Gospodin_Kurac]

Strogg reminds me of Tyrranids from W40k but mechanized.

[@DWSP101]

You know I’ve played quake all throughout my life, but I never knew what the actual story and law was. I was just really good at killing everything in the game, but I never paid attention as a kid now I’m deeply interested. I wanna know what the heck is quake because to me, I thought it was kinda like doom. Let’s see pushing play now.

[@RetroHappyFace]

Why is it so hard to find quake lore. Can't wait to see this later

[@scoopedonions7436]

I loved quake wars online when i was 12! I never even played it online lol just the single player battles with bots. It was like battlefield but with teleporters to a different planet. Weird how it wasn't more popular

[@Matt-md5yt]

sweet more Quake lore

[@insanejughead]

What's your process of learning, researching, and developing for these videos? I'm always beyond impressed.

[@megacide84]

In my head-canon... Stroggos was a peaceful Earth-like world. Shub-Niggurath invades and a prolonged war ensues. The Strogg in a last desperate attempt mechanize and undergo Stroggification in order to fight back. The Strogg emerge victorious and cast Shub's forces off their world. Which, has been bled dry after how many years or decades of war. The Strogg venture into the Dreamlands to continue the fight. Hence why we see Strogg supply crates in Quake 1. The Dreamlands are decimated and the war enters a stalemate. The Strogg are stretched too thin and forced to retreat. However, they will return to finish the job. In order to replenish troop numbers. The Strogg invade many worlds including Earth for live bodies and other resources.

[@hawk458]

Nice

[@villings]

neat I had no idea the quake lore could be this rich (I only played the first game.. all the way back in 96 or 97)

[@pkemr4]

Combine vs The Strogg

[@danilonakazone386]

I want to bet on Strogg but Combine showed more technology, more weapons, and have more soldiers

[@danilonakazone386]

BUT!... Stroggs has ZERO emotions, just pure will to serve the Nexus, so maybe this could be a vantage over Combine, even if someone cuts contact with the Nexus, ther Stroggs will act on pure survival and dominatio instinct becvoming even more dangerous

[@JadziaFil]

​@@danilonakazone386Combine also have almost no emotion

The guys that make these games clearly don't realise the military capability of the major militaries in our world, because the lore is just absurd, this is the same with the Half Life combine as well, we are expected to believe they defeated earth's armies, yet they are flying around in these comically slow dropships and their units are totally pathetic (and any modern military would destroy them). I think some video game creator needs to make a more realistic technological alien species, than mechanical bug creations that fly around and walk around, it's not believable that these could overthrow the world's militaries. I get that making it realistic might make it more boring and affect the gameplay negatively however, since you can't be running around making a big difference as a single man in a truly realistic setting, so they need to lower the realism so yourself running around and shooting silly robot men running around makes a big difference. This is why the only video games that can be fun, but also feel believable, are fantasy setting games, where the lore of the world is that humanity isn't that advanced, therefore monsters and such have to be defeated by swords and other things and it is believable that such a monster is quite the foe. But games that are more like science fiction horror and have some monster that you can shoot point blank in the head with a large calibre gun, and it doesn't do anything to it, that just is impossibly unrealistic and feels stupid quite frankly.
