Was id Software’s first new IP since Quake worth the wait?
"Quake II is a masterpiece; an enduring first-person shooter that shows iD Software at their technical and artistic best."
- Christian 'Reggie' Wait, TechStomper
The story of John Romero, John Carmack, Adrian Carmack, Tom Hall, Jay Wilbur and their legendary company id Software. From Commander Keen to Wolfenstein 3D, from Doom to Quake, they invented the 3D first-person shooter genre, and they transformed PC gaming into a multi-million dollars business.

Trying to decide the best DOOM game is like deciding who your favorite child is. You love every one of them, imperfections and all."
Haven't played it personally but going from user opinion and reviews it doesn't appear to have been worth the wait.
I wasnt waiting for it at all so its fine for me. Ill probably rent it or buy it for cheap someday to try it.
I was a bit miffed when I bought it (on pc) and it ran like a dog and looked like some strange kaleidoscope when you turned around, but after the patch it runs pretty much flawlessly with only the odd occasion when I notice a tiny bit of texture loading. It's nothing like the mess it was on release.
And now I can play it as it was obviously originally intended I'm enjoying it immensely. Gameplay wise it takes a little while to get into, it seems to get better as you go on. And the ai is much better than any of their other games, The Authority in particular are a joy to fight against and seem to be a nod to the enemies in Fear.
Overall I think it's a great game. Thumbs up.
Yes it was worth the wait, glad I paid 60 bucks for
it. I was playing it on an I7 pc. Beautiful, engrossing
and fun. No issues. A solid 9 from me, IDshould be
proud. Loved the atmosphere, graphics, guns, characters
and AI. I hope we get Rage 2 sooner.
