they got an Interstate 76 theme for your car? SO GOOD!

Thirteen flew over the cuckoo's nest
I just played the first hours and I'm totally satisfied by it. I get the feeling I'm playing a classic and one of those Fps that retain the original formula so long forgotten. Here you shoot and it's funny shooting because it feels so good. You don't need anything else 'till it gives you so many satisfactions. The team behind iD managed still again to give every weapon a zelda-item feeling to it: when you get a new one, you know you have a new tool... a new tool that open possibilities for new gore destructions. This game is gorgeous and genuinely fun. I'm relived to see that someone didn't forget what Fps once meant to all of us. It's a perfect arcade, smooth, fast, clean, refined, precise, frenetic you know that evetything is designed and shaped perfectly, you feel it: from the graphics to the immense style (oh GOD, the Wasteland... isn't it the most beautiful thing I've seen in this generation of consoles?), to the AI of the enemies, the feeling of the weapons, the racing, the upgrades, the level design... and, the megatextures give it so much charisma: if I can call a game a work of an artisan, I'd say RAGE has been made by one. Every single inch in this game is carefully constructed. The attention to details is something I haven't seen before pushed so far. It's amazing what they can do with this technology.
I'm lovin' it.

Have you taken a close look at, well, just about any texture? Shit is ugly. It didn't really start to bother me until the Dead City area. That place is inexcusably low-res. Great art direction, but the texture resolution settings are stuck on ultra-low or something.

This keeps coming up..and its one of those things that ya just gotta get past or accept.
Yes put your nose to the wall all you see is this.

yes hyperbole but that's the point of the tech..in context its more then just a zoomed in texture

This game. THIS GAME.
Started forging out farther from Wellspring and all I have to say is holy shit. Sometimes the visuals are nothing short of astonishing, and its one of those games where you want to take a time machine back and show yourself as a kid what was to come.
This really does feel like id's Bioshock, and that's not a bad thing at all.
Especially when the game actually works. Its stunning at times and well worth the driver hassles. ;P

I'm a little under 4 hours in, I've been taking my time. I've done 2 sewers so far and those got a little intense.GeoramA said:
I keep forgetting that I have the wingstick(heh my phone wants to auto correct that to win stick) but when I remember I have it it's super satisfying to use. Especially when you're able to pull the stick out of someone's head as they're falling to the ground.
Looks really nice, yeah. (sorry for steam shot, but still).

And the characters are my favourite thing in this game so far.

Just got this game for free from Bethesda Insider for liking a bunch of games on facebook and answering some questions. Dling now from Steam.

For those who preordered on pc, how do you activate your armor? I have my double barrel shotgun and fists but I see no armor in my inventory.

I'm not sure how to respond to this. At least you admit to hyperbole.
You don't have to get very close to objects to realize how low-res the textures are.

Some of them are just plain bad, even at mid distances. I personally don't mind it as the overall effect is incredible, but it is noticeable especially so if you're more sensitive to that kind of thing.Zefah said:
I would really like to see this game played at full texture resolution.

All I'm saying is ..Yes.. the textures could and should be higher res..however when you step back and play the game..its fucking glorious.Zefah said:
Walking thru the town hubs, its like a movie it has so much density. when you hop on a buggy and go do the Mayors mission near dead city to get that refined crystal..its jaw dropping beautiful. Its stunning..
But at any point you can ruin it by pushing(pulling for the inverted fiends) your mouse down and staring at the ground texture 4feet away and going ...but but but this is blurry.

It's not the same for me, honestly. I realize how awesome and dense the areas are. The art is great. It's just that the assets were designed at such a higher resolution, and are instead compressed to look like shit. I can't not notice that. It's extremely distracting to me. I enter Wellspring for example, and the stuff far away from me looks amazing, but at the same time I see muddy shit-for-textures out of the corner of my eye. It's such a contradicting visual message, that it becomes extremely distracting for me. This was especially true in the Dead City so far.
I guess I just wish they designed their assets around their targeted system specs from the beginning rather than designing them for their dev machines and then compressing them down to fit within a tiny amount of memory.

its something to do with how the megatexture is cut up into chunks for memory..larger the chunk more gets loaded whether in frame or not.
or well i think its like that
or well i think its like that
Two questions:
Can I just sell the bobble head or is there a reason to hold onto it?
Is this sniper rifle mission off the job board impossible? Reload time is way too long on my rifle, and the speed at which enemies run/angles they run at makes even leading a target impossible for me. To add to the frustration is the fact that the NPC using his rifle has too little of health and dies after 4 whacks if they get to him. Plus, they'll scale to where I am if I don't take them out. :/

I did that sniper rifle mission (not sure if there are more than one--it was where you had to protect a guy who was trying to repair shit outside of wellspring) and found it to be pretty damn easy. Of course, I'm using a mouse for the first person shooting segments. What difficulty are you playing on?

My only advice would be to steady your aim, don't try to lead the shots, don't fire until you know you've got a shot and take the opportunity to reload between waves. I don't think there is a trick to that mission besides solid aiming.zlatko said:

Wow, on Hard on the PC they usually go down in one or two shots to the body.
Sounds like a shitty situation
... at least it's optional.NullPointer
Member
You're best bet is just not to lead then. I don't think there is bullet drop or travel time, or at least I haven't noticed it.zlatko said:

I just did that sniper job. Definitely super easy with the mouse and keyboard. Take solace in that your races are easier (until we plug in a controller, which we can do if we so desire).
The rumors of this game's shittyness have been greatly exaggerated. I'm having a blast with it, even if it is fairly straightforward. The combat is great, the driving is great, and so long as you're not staring at the walls, the graphics are great.
