You are pretty much near the end, two more missions to be precise. My final clock was 21hours and I pretty much wasted shit loads of hours on 5 Finger Filet and engineered piles upon piles of ammos for no apparent reason. I finished the game with 150 fatmamas, 250 pop rockets, and 200 dynamite bolts.Solo said:

It's pretty easy to be honest, the first 4 rounds are always the same, the last round is the one that mix things up a bit and I never had a problem with it. Did you manage to capture all cards by the way?JaseC said:I used CheatEngine to complete FFF (slowing down the game via speedhack). I figured I could either stuff it up constantly and grow frustrated, or cheat and get it right the first time.

I'm watching this video in 720p to see if I could tolerate the pop-in but I just don't see it.
Is it the usual gaf hyperbole? because even when the guy is riding through the Wastelands I still don't see it :\

Definitely can't agree with that.StuBurns said:
The level design in Rage is so much more interesting and distinct than Fallout 3. Many of the areas in Fallout almost feel as if they were dynamically generated while the levels in Rage all feel carefully hand crafted. They are so much more interesting to play through as a result. Fallout 3 still works great as it is an RPG first and foremost, but aside from the overworld (which is nice), every other area you explore feels pretty generic.
Graphically, I don't think there is any comparison. On the PC, I suppose it would be closer, but I still favor Rage overall, but on consoles there is no context. Fallout 3 chugs on both consoles while Rage pushes a smooth 60 fps 99% of the time. The more intricate scenery running at such a fast framerate really looks fantastic to me.
While exploring the Wastelands, if you stop and do 180 turns, you can easily notice it. However, while playing, it really isn't all that prevalent or noticeable.

Ah, okay. I'll see if I can complete it without an aid during my next play through. I just didn't want a repeat of FFF in RDR.
I found 76% of the cards and 74% of the recipes. While I did intend to find all of the cards, aside from one instance I only purchased recipes that were of particular benefit or interest.I guess I'd say it's not really an apt comparison because they are attempting different things, but I enjoyed the FO3 levels a lot more in terms of exploration, Rage's levels are very generic, straight path ordeals. Certainly they have a higher density of design work, but the game is also a fourth of the size. I have mixed feelings about Rage, but in terms of level design, I think it's weak compared to it's peers.dark10x said:

Five hours in and this is the most under-rated game of the year in the media to me. As soon as I got the glitches and vsync sorted it's been a really fun experience.
From Gamespot:
Gears of War 3 = 9.5
Dark Souls = 9.5
Rage = 8.0 (Metacritic 8.2)
Resistance 3 = 8.5
I couldn't disagree more with any of these scores. Here's mine:
Rage = 9.5
Resistance 3 = 9.0
Dark Souls = ?.? (I have yet to see a gameplay video or review that makes me want to give this game a go)
Gears of War 3 = 8.0
Anyway, don't really care personally because in the end it's for my enjoyment. I do hope Rage and Resistance sells well though as they have been my favorite experiences so far since the release of Infamous 2 in May... Oh, I should mention Bastion as being a highlight too.

You wouldn't have had a sequel for loooong time anyway, isn't a new cthulhu quake confirmed after doom 4?
so guys, anybody knows if this great new engine is gonna be used SOON for any other game?
my fingers are itching me, and I havent finished the game yet.
p.s. about reviewers/reviews: it is obvious to me that the entire "segment" has missed their spot regarding this game. no sweat though. doesnt take away from the experience itself.

What are its peers? Certainly not Fallout 3.StuBurns said:
I appreciate Rage simply because it provides the solid gunplay I look for in an id game with a touch of freedom. I certainly did NOT want a sand box game (would have been a disaster), but I didn't want a completely on-rails experience ala Call of Duty (or even Doom 3, really).
What exactly were you hoping for here? People keep drawing comparisons between Rage and games such as Fallout 3 and Borderlands but it really isn't like either of them (outside of its themee).

Ok just finished the game. Awesome experience overall but the final mission was pure ass.

Megatexture's gonna be used in the new prey iirc.

Doom 4 will be their next release and the wait is expected to be "shorter than first thought". I presume an unveiling at QuakeCon 2012 and a release in Q4 2013.
Edit: Another Quake title with the return to the Gothic, Lovecraftian art style isn't confirmed to be id's post-Doom 4 project. Depending on the success of Rage it's entirely possible that we'll see a sequel before another Quake game.

rage is the first game that comes to realize my expectations. on the looks, and on the feel.
bravo id, now get your engine to as many game creators as possible!
if we are going to have zombie console technology running for a couple of years more, then the future games should at least try to play like this one.

Can I interest you in a little idtech 5 reboot of Catacomb 3D?!
I'll take anything they've got cooking in the id Labs.

They really didn't need to close off most of the areas once you finish the game especially with that asstacular ending. I was ready to go back in and find playing cards and finish a few more races but nope, can't do shit now. Love the game overall (except the ending) but locking folks out of areas was a poor design choice.
StuBurns said:
Not necessarily, it's just that ZeniMax wish to keep the engine in-house. In fact, Carmack has said that id Tech 5 isn't practical for open-world titles.
I feel kind of cheated. I'm already to Subway Town and still haven't received the schematics for the sentry bot or turret. Supposedly, I'm supposed to have been able to buy them from the outfitter in Wellsping but no matter how many times I visited him, he never had them. I was looking forward to using them, especially the bot. Anyone have any ideas? I suppose I could go back to Wellspring again and just keep checking. Pretty frustrating.

Oh I imagine why. No point in having megatextures if it is going to take you ten years to paint them.

I think it has more to do with the fact that the amount of data you would need for texture maps would be astronomical. There is no way you could even fit the entire overworld on one disk (perhaps not even a blu-ray), so things would have to be broken up.
id Tech is now, exclusively, only available to game developers whose games are to be published by Bethesda (BRINK, RAGE, Prey 2 and most certainly Doom 4). The licensing page on idsoftware.com has been removed for quite some time now.
I think it's so Bethesda can make sure the resources at id Software aren't lost to helping 'outside' developers with the engine.
