Gears of war 3 has better (to many) graphics, probably a better story, much more robust modes and potentially much more polished mechanics being a third entry in the same series. A new IP to me can only truly stun if it comes off as polished and amazing right from the offset, rage doesn't need to re-invent the wheel but the game doesn't seem to have even all the basics down depending on your preference.
I really don't see why it's bad for rage to get a 7 and gears 3 to get a 9, I haven't put time into rage yet (waiting until i'm home) but my own expectations are that it will be an '8' level game at most, worth playing and good fun, but flawed and with a limited set of modes to play from.
I personally expect gears 3 to be among the best games of this generation, coming from someone who always loved and preferred ID software titles over epic games, it's quite a turnaround for me. I don't think i'm insane and I don't think the reviewers are either. Gears 3 will likely be remembered for much longer than rage, even among the hardcore niche gamers.

i think where some peoples frustrations lie, is that Rage PLAYS better. personally i think there's a lot more to a game than that, but i can understand that some people think that should be the over riding factor.goldenpp72 said:
RAGE has been criticised for being 'gamey' and that's such a ridiculous criticism.
you can argue which has better graphics, both from a technical and artistic perspective. i'm not surprised that BOTH are being called the best looking console game.

It's very successful but also exclusive to a console (so kinda like THE reason to buy that console, no?) and backed by a multimillion ad campaign, that I don't think Rage had(?). Rage was never (or it was very unlikely) really going to sell as much as eg Halo 3.
How many multiplatform FPS games that aren't almost exclusively driven by the MP are this successful?
It's like me saying "look HL2 sold 12 million units so all PC FPS are as successful as Halo."
Again, if they can handle all 3 versions, they should. I'm *not* saying they should delay anything.

This question confuses me. If iD decided to focus on PC as the main platform all the while having consoles in the pipeline, how would that result in less sales? The only thing we would get is a better product from the top down and if they decided to delay the console version it would only be to optimize it for playability on the respective platforms. Unless I misinterpreted you, earlier you said that console gamers don't acknowledge or even care about the existence of a superior platform so that brings me back to the original question as to how this would effect the game sales wise.
Well, the game seems to run fine so I guess it has all the files including the patch. 60fps constant but man some of these textures. I'm having pop in issues, you can definitely tell it's a console port, moving the mouse like normal it's bad. Can definitely tell it was made for slower movement on controllers.
So far only issues I have, which I should at the very least be able to fix 2 of them is pop in, fov to narrow making me physically ill (shame on you id) and and white lines occasionally appearing on textures. I'm guessing that last one I just need to update my drivers, hopefully, fov should be an easy fix, pop in is the one I'm most concerned about getting rid of.

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this yet, a quick search of "rage bunnyhopping strafejumping" turned up nothing, but ...
Apparently you can bunny hop/strafe jump o.o I might actually pick up the game just to try it.

How hard is it to change one setting in Nvidia control panel? That literally takes 5 seconds.
Editing config files is annoying though, and no one should be required to do that just to have a game startup. That should only be necesary for advanced hardcore tweaking.

Haha, that's awesome!
I wish they had included at least some kind of basic deathmatch multiplayer in this.

I have it installed and it's everywhere that I've gotten use to it. From even in the beginning I'd look at the NPC and move to the right to the car- the car would have insane pop ins. I'd move back to the NPC and then look over to the car again, same thing. Mind you these two objects are like 5 feet away from one another.
Awesome tech, but jfc.

I am starting to get annoyed here....anyone else have a problem loading the level "Wasted Garage"? Whenever I try to go there it just sits there at the loading screen forever. After a few minutes I will hit control alt delete to bring up task manager and it says Rage stopped working.
Tried a reinstall last night and it was a no go. Google brings up a thread in the steam forums with tons having the same issue. Anyone know a way to fix it?
Rage has caused a update to drivers and a reintall. It shouldn't be this hard lol

Coming from a child of 80s/90s gaming, I'm absolutely loving it. I wasn't expecting a cover based, open world, rpg/shooter, so the fact that it feels like a classic ID game through and through is just awesome. When I got the pistol and rock music started playing, it was like I was playing Doom 2 all over again
Holy fuck. With beta drivers and the tweaks and GPU transcoding on, texture pop in is like 95% GONE. FUCK YEAH.
However, I have a new issue - something is inducing some tearing despite the fact I have v-sync forced. Any ideas? I wasn't getting the tearing before I went to the beta drivers/GPU transcoding.

jett said:Why is there no deathmatch in this game again?
I'm not one to want multiplayer stuff in every single game, but it seems like in this case that no competitive multiplayer is a wasted opportunity (especially considering how short it is). Nice feeling guns and combat, 60fps, vehicles. I guess they just wanted to finish the damn thing after taking so long to make it.

After reading the OP, can or can you not play the entire campaign cooperatively?

that kind of makes it more shocking to me how much of a mess it was. they were so close to getting it right. just a few cfg tweaks and the right drivers and we'd have been praising IDs technical prowess. so so close.Solo said:

This game only uses 1 of the 2 gpu's on the gtx590
And when manually set in the profile to use 2 it make the fps go down to 30

Here you go. This will help. Just activated my Intkeys code...no worries, no fuss. It'll take you less than ten minutes.
Snkfanatic said:
Hey Snk, just force close Rage, and restart. The auto save should have you loading into where ever it was you were trying to load when it crashed. I'm not sure what is causing the issue, but it's happened to me a few times, but I don't think a reinstall is going to solve anything. Also, save often, just in case!
soulassssns said:
Bethesda knew the correct drivers weren't available or someone at Bethesda didn't do their job. If you then want to argue incompetence or apathy that's your choice.
If they were smart they would of held the PC version back a few days and let everyone rave about the 360 version. I could just imagine the fervor and anticipation on the PC side.

So no one at ATi realized that hadn't updated? FFS, Nvidia is already getting Max Payne 3 performance patches.
It's a shame this great game is being trampled by people with ATi problems. You guys knew what you were getting into when you bought ATi. I was there for the entire 4xxx generation. It wasn't really hard to learn my lesson. I encountered at least a dozen games that had performance problems on the ATi side for no good reason. Sure it's only around a dozen out of 100+ games that worked right, but those games that didn't were enough to make me switch back.
Sysgen said:
That one is on AMD, not id. If the driver the uploaded to the public had not been a corrupted set, that entire issue would never happened.
There are other technical issues to be sorted with the game, but the shit being so fucked up on AMD's side is absolutely on AMD.
Wallach said:
This is how I look at it, at least from the digital distribution perspective. If the game was released knowing that the drivers were fucked then that's on Bethesda. If I'm the publisher and negative word costs me sales I don't release it unless I'm sure my product is going to work. When you depend on other parties you make sure everyone has the correct cards on the table before you play your hand.
