Well, it is reception, so it is entirely based on people's opinions on Quake. Quake, when it initially came out, was seen pretty negatively by certain groups of people. We had quite a bit of popularity with Multiplayer of course, but we also had a lot of "It isn't Duke 3D" fingers being pointed at Quake.

It isn't one sided at all, most people honestly looked down on the Single Player version of Quake. You will note that most of Quake's popularity came from its Deathmatches. That reception area is just based on common opinions expressed in 1996, it doesn't even represent the opinions of any on the Wikia. Opinions aren't ever professional, but it is actually rather professional of us to be able to take it from an objective standpoint, ignoring our own praise and instead giving what we have found others to feel.

I love Quake 1, otherwise I wouldn't even be here. Personally, I hate Duke 3D and found Quake to be a highly superior game, I could give a massive list of reasons but giving such would be unnecessary here. In any event, that text is extremely different from my own opinion and thus I am not by any means unprofessionally bashing Quake. We just stated the common opinions, which happened to have a lot of negative criticism about Single Player. Personal opinion cannot be expressed on these pages, or else I would have plenty of pages designed solely for the bashing of Duke 3d. Now that would be unprofessional!
