The little lift down to the resistance? SNAP!
Glad you gave it a chance. Yeah, they could have done more with the characters, but I'm glad there's no typical video game story getting in the way of the amazing gameplay.WrikaWrek said:
It does a good job keeping you motivated by feeling like a wasteland badass. And the amazing visuals don't hurt either...

Man, IIRC you were quite down on it a little while ago. Good to read, not as a case for validation of others' opinions, but just for the journey itself from "meh" to "awesome".

a man of taste. i would put resistance 3 up there as well. i will log countless hours on all 3.
the thing i like so much about rage is that it is a videogame first. no pretense, just a cool premise and an environment built to highlight the gameplay. love it.

I was really disappointed in this game, and then I soon as I got to Wellspring the game improved enormously. Really enjoying it now.
This game is nothing short of amazing, Dark Souls has been taking up most of my time lately but RAGE definitely deserves better. RAGE is probably the among the best looking, smoothest playing and sounding (console) FPS games this generation. From the way the enemies move to the draw distance with no drop in image quality, to the details on the gun and character models, facial animations. It's a gorgeous game.
Compare the image quality and framerate to anything Unreal engine and I think Rage is more impressive in motion. iD Tech 5 is going to do some damage next generation. Bet on it.

Yeah, this has really blown me away...especially the side mission on the job board where
you've got to protect a convoy coming in towards Wellspring from a sniper's nest

What's wonderful is that, going by Rage, it'll be quite scalable, too.
Love the feel of combat, love the atmosphere, love the 60 fps, but only "like" the game overall. There's just something about the general pacing and design that feels mundane and a bit soulless, somehow. It's a good game, to be sure, but it's just not fully drawing me in.
Also, the larger enemies that charge at you seem to be begging for a dodge maneuver, but there is none. Are you guys just sprinting out of the way?

The more I play of this the more I'm enjoying it. Despite a couple of questionable design decisions, I think it's really strong. Something JRPGs figured out long ago was that when designed well a dungeon is too intense to be maintained for the length of a game, the player needs down time or it becomes too taxing to be really enjoyed, I think this is the first shooter I've played that really tried to address that issue. The 'levels' themselves are a lot of fun, but eight hours of that would be make for a truly awful experience. I actually wish the hub had even less going on, so I'd feel more encouraged to explore, so far I haven't done that at all. Out of the twelve levels listed in the trophies, I've done seven, and I really don't feel like I've scratched the surface of the game yet, and I haven't gone to a second town either.
Despite the many comparisons, I do think some sort of gaming holy grail is in Bethesda's grasp, a FO4 with combat and level instances like this would be edging on the best game ever if done correctly. It's odd, there's no other game that looks more like this than FO3 that I know of.
Despite the initial impressions being quite negative for me, this is a legitimately good game, after Doom 3 that's pretty surprising.

I'm not sure what type of cover Deus EX has..but if its a sticky cover..then god no.
I hate sticky cover systems,they look cool in 3rd person games but ruin the fluidity and flow of movement.
I much prefer just using the objects in the environment as cover and crouching.
I could see adding in lean left and right for shooting around edges a bit ..
Yeah. I'm really enjoying this game so far. It has all these elements that are just hitting right. The card game, the driving is fun (i'm so happy the guns lock on, or else it would piss me off), the shooting is fun, and the graphics are amazing. I also really like the light rpg elements. Really surprised with how much I'm enjoying this game. I wish I would have bought this one and rented Gears 3.
Just finished Dead City Streets. Am I remembering wrong, or were people complaining about the visuals here? If so, the fuck?! Its a fantastic environment, just like the rest of the environments in the game.
The Witcher 2 and Rage have both shown this year how inarguably superior handcrafted and uniquely textured environments are to pre-fabs and repeated textures all over the place.

God, I want to like this game but the more I play it the less I do. The combat is fun but the driving to and from to talk to this guy and drop that off, extremely tiresome.

lots of the background buildings have low res textures. i just finished it myself... but all in all, yes, it is a fanastic environment. the level design continues to shine.Solo said:
not sure what your problem is with that term. the world is expansive. go walk from one end of the wasteland to the other.Gvaz said:
Yeah, about that "expansive world" bit
expansive just means 'large'. i can't see any complaints there even if other games are larger.
I don't get all the people complaining about this game.
It runs and looks great on my 4890 and its gunplay is up there with the best I have ever played. Its been years since I've played a shooter that just felt this good. I love it.
Are people expecting an RPG or something? If you expect and ID shooter with a more open world and less linear then they have made before then that is exactly what you are getting.
And also WOW at the production values.

of course a large area to travel between hubs is expansive. that's literally what it means. your failure to understand what Rage was before you played it is really something you need to let go.

I'm very much on the fence at the moment, there's just one thing I want to know; is the Anarchy edition worth it?

Man the combat in this is so fucking amazing when you're not fighting mutants that just charge you and eat bullets.
When you fighting other humans, it's such a blast with all the options at your disposal. (^____^)
I did check out Normal though and indeed, enemies do just take more damage/output more on higher difficulties.

Personally, I thought the mutants were great too. They way they traverse the environments makes them pretty unpredictable when they swarm on you. That part in the
subway level, when the giant mutant busts in and you have to dodge his cannon fire while also trying to kill him and deal with the other mutants coming in
rosaceadude2112 said:
That section wasn't quite as overwhelming as I had thought it would be. When the larger enemy makes his entrance and the entourage of lower-tier mutants flank you, I was expecting such an approach for the entire fight. Instead, once you destroy approximately two dozen of the lesser enemies they cease to appear and you're left with the "boss" (I encase the title in quotes because he didn't seem to possess the requisite toughness).

I think the mutants are awesome on pc, i can understand why you'd not like fighting them with a pad though. Perhaps gamepad play is where the robot and turrets really come into their own.

spider bots are your best friends, however you play. i love pooping one out and then trying to keep it alive for as long as possible.fizzelopeguss said:

I constructed a Spider Bot to guard the immediate yet out-of-sight area during the mission where (Subway Town)
you have to guard the distillery as the machine concocts the brew
Edit: I feel compelled to also mention that he felled far more enemies than myself.

This is it really right here. I also don't think I would have a problem with them with KB/Mouse. At this point, they're about as fun to fight as Skags =/
Good point though 'bout the turrets. Will employ that tactic alot more with rushing enemies.
Gotta love the variety Rage offers though!
At this point, it's probably id's best game when you remove the classic status. I mean, they fall into a very weird place as their catalog is so far reaching, it's kinda hard to compare each of them with each other.

I'd say the combat is good. The actual shooting I'd still give to Killzone2.
