Impressions of the gameplay was really mediocre for the first 4 hours I've played. Not really much of a looker on the PC as well, to be honest, for all the hype surrounding it. And that is after the hoops I needed to jump through just to get this game running smoothly.

Texture detail isn't everything. This game proves it. The visuals are outstanding.Tom Penny said:

Okay, so I'm sure it's been said countless times already, but I've played the game for an hour and 20 min, and it's like Borderlands on all fronts (not a problem, I dug Borderlands), this really feels so similar, with obviously the setting, loneliness, and then the cities or camps (more camps than cities in Borderlands though) where you meet some people that give you some tasks or missions.
Does it depart from it afterwards or not?!

Might get this during Christmas. CGR described it as closer to being an open-worldish Bioshock with car combat, which sounds better than the half-assed Fallout comparisons I'm hearing.
I was thinking the PC version (running Phenom x6, 2x HD 6950s. 8GB RAM), but I've heard about the technical issues, so I'm thinking PS3 instead. I imagine the PC version will be fixed eventually, but I'm not terribly patient. How is the PS3 version compared to the 360 version?

Jaggies seem the order of the day on all (console only?) fronts from what i've heard. There was a little pop in the beginning i noticed with the PS3 version after the massive install but it haven't noticed it at all after nearly 6hrs in.
I'd assure you it's not a half-assed Fallout. Probably a more tighter version with better gunplay and more fun seeing as though you don't have to walk everywhere. Also none of that crap that makes you slower walking around with loot. Everything is mainstreamed pretty much but doesn't feel as limiting as Mass Effect 2 loot wise.

Goodness fucking gracious. You've only been playing the game for an hour and 20 minutes. Why don't you just play it some more?THE-Pink-Dagger said:
EDIT: Forgot the hour.

You probably only need to play for 40 minutes to even realize that it's a funner game than Borderlands. TROLOLOLOLOL.The_Endgamer said:
Yeah, people with doubts: First hour and so its a bit rough, afterwards its a fucking stellar game that completely stands on its own and shows much of id's identity. This is very much an id game and has nothing to do with Borderlands other than the "quest" structure and somewhat the setting (even though art-wise this game blows it the fuck out of the water).

It's definitely funnier than Borderlands, yep. Btw, the game tears like a mofo on my set up, apparently, Carmack said a patch would be released, with VSync in it, really annoying, but on the bright side, I have a low level of pop in.

God I wish I could turn off the Auto-Aim =(
The game keeps growing on me. Dead City and the Following Well mission turned it up 3 notches of awesome. My opinion of the game will be very high if the fighting can stay at this level.
One of the ghost clan guys walljumped then kicked me across the room(small vertical, huge horizontal knockback). That made me want a DM game with Mirror's Edge or brink movement bad.
For the feldspar stuff,
I was offered a quest to trade
Can I get something that is not completely useless later instead?

Yeah, the tearing is some of the worst I've seen of any recent PC game. Saved, stopped, enabled it by myself, got back in the game. All gone now.

Great call on the controller for vehicular shenanigans. Plugged in the DS3 via Motioninjoy and BAM, this game got even better than crazy-good.

I'd love it if we were able to toggle which button prompts appear on the screen, because as much as I like the controller for driving, I'd prefer to see the keyboard commands when I jump out of the buggies to lay waste to whoever.

I managed to squeeze ~14.5 on hard difficulty (not including areas where I had to replay). People weren't kidding when they said it ends right when the game starts to pick up. I had a lot of fun though but that abrupt ending was kind of a kick in the balls. I never even used some of the better guns I got towards the end of the game because I was saving the ammo for a final boss or somethingcyen said:

Yeah I wish I could've taken cover like the enemies did. That was one thing that bummed me out. I'd go to recover health but I'd just be crouching and taking fire because I couldn't get behind real cover.

I don't think a cover mechanic would feel congruous at all.

Indeed. The enemy does it, why can't you?voltron said:
Played for a few hours so far. Wouldn't say it's boring. It's definitely got its own character. But plot? Story? Fuck knows. I really don't like playing nameless, voice less characters. Just strikes me as lack of imagination.
Played the entire co-op in one sitting last night (PC). Sadly a very forgettable experience. Unless your going for the leaderboards, the levels provide almost no challenge on Nightmare until the end, and even then its only because the game spawns 1shot kill mobs ontop of you with no warning.
This is a game I really want to enjoy, but I'm having trouble doing so. I love the first town I walked into, but when I'm outside I feel like its a fairly forgettable game. Pity, because I feel this is the best iD game to date.

I think its possible to do it and still keep the flow and speed of the game but it'd really have to be just a kindof hunker down system, not really attaching to cover. Just a better way of providing feedback when you are using cover as you normally would, only something that could provide you those extra two inches of protection you thought you had against that enemy turret that's tearing you to shit. Just show your left hand pressing against the wall and have your dude shirk down a few inches.Slackbladder said:
Doesn't happen enough to be an actual design problem but something like that could actually add to the moment without turning things into stop and pop.
Its unfortunate and I feel the same way. I'd like to roam the wasteland on foot, but its really just a vehicle gauntlet. I do love the on foot missions themselves though.syoaran said:

Yeah man, I'm usually not one to notice v-sync but this was horrendous. Thankfully it went away after I forced it in nvidia's control panel. For some people that crashes their system, but I haven't checked if the latest patch fixed that.

Its also a launch option "+r_swapInterval 1" if that helps with things. Don't know if its just doing the same thing under the hood though.Thunderbear said:

Which is all fine, but I think it would seriously damage the pace of the game. id games have always been about movement and shooting - to break it down to painfully obvious facets - and I just don't think the game would benefit from a stop-and-pop approach.
Forgive my facetiousness.

how long is the second cd? if I return the game today gamestop give me a new game for free...
The game is good but very constricted. After 9 hours Rage start to be a little boring

Goddam it looks sexy outdoors though. Really. Wish they could use this engine for Fallout type games.
The 60fps thing is awesome too. Forget how good it is when you havent played a 60fps game for so long. Actually took some adjusting as far as movement for shooting and stuff. Tweaked the sensitivity down a touch when usually the first thing I do in shooters is just the opposite.

The game has completely won me over. Up close it still looks subpar, but overall the game is beautiful once you get further in.
Also this is without a doubt the best FPS I played this year. It's a shame the game doesn't have characters worth talking about, or a decent story. But the combat is just there.
Very very good game.
