ctrl+shift+esc. ctrl+esc is a shortcut for the start menu.

are you able to play other source games? ex Left 4 Dead, Portal, CSGO, etc

edit: nvm you dont actually own any other source games.

does the executable (hl2.exe) even show up in task manager when you go to launch it?

we sure opened our border to that us citizen

this shit is not okay

hz can be any form of iterative rate, but i would highly doubt they'd mention tickrate like that rather than refresh rate. i've never heard a developer use the measurement of hertz for a tickrate. not to mention the server infrastructure needed to support that kind of tickrate - what games actually do that? even OW, which has the massive blizzard server infrastructure behind it, isn't adapting to fucking 60 because of server concerns. the only games that actually use 120 natively are, what, csgo competitive if you happen to force your server to use 128 in the first place? by default it sure doesn't do that, and i'm fairly certain valve's servers don't. even quake live's server tickrate is only 40.

they advertised it because it's not the norm for most games nowadays. a crazy number have framerate locks, caps, or other issues with HFR. doom was the first id tech game to not have HFR issues in a fucking decade.

I assume saying 120 directly was just an oversight, because they did also mention unlocked framerate, and doom didn't have any issues with 144. I think id tech 6 has finally fixed those problems.

not all in the US finished a month ago. I have a few friends that aren't out for another week or two

BGS is not a publisher. I'm trying to differentiate Bethesda Game Studios (BGS) with Bethesda Softworks (BS).

Most of our misunderstanding and conflict is coming from you using the wrong names for the wrong companies.

just keep in mind that Quake is being developed by id and not BGS. id doesn't have much to their name recently besides doom, so we can't really be sure how it's going to turn out. the only thing they share is Bethesda as a publisher. most of the fault you've listed are targeted at BGS.

no she didnt.

but bethesda didn't DEVELOP dishonored, they only PUBLISHED it, and yet it was received better than both of the ones you've listed. my point isn't that they don't have a bad track record of published games, but rather that your original statement,

is wrong by these many games:

the list goes on too. you made a really bold claim with no substance to back it up, and all i'm trying to do is prove that the claim was wrong. use facts next time you're trying to make an argument.

ps: evil within would also be on this list but the pc version bombed because of a shitty port, and i felt it was unfair to compare across platforms

pps: i also never brought up the fact that your original quote used the word "published", which also applies to the games they've developed in the same way that a square is a rectangle but a rectangle is not always a square. technically they published all of their own games too, so your original statement is even more incorrect, but even ignoring that you're still wrong.

i'm fully aware of the difference, are you trying to claim dishonored was made by them?

ok

while anything is possible, id is more likely just holding back because they don't have much else to show yet, since they just finished up with doom. battlecry studios has also posted new job openings, claiming they're working on a new multiplayer shooter, so that probably means that battlecry is done and they'll be moving onto something new - nothing official yet though.

all anyone can do at this point is speculate until quakecon.

battlecry isn't axed yet, and it was in development by battlecry studios, not id software, so if you're suggesting the game has transitioned kind of like titan did into overwatch, i think you're pretty mistaken. they weren't even on the same engine - battlecry used/uses/will use cryengine, and quake is using id tech 6.
