If you have the buggy or the Hot Rod, you can only mount one weapon. Go to the garage and then "Tune" to switch between the machinegun and the rocket launcher.
With the Caprino and the Monarch you can mount all weapons. Just use the 'next weapon' (mouse wheel up/down) to switch.

Use the scroll wheel (or equivalent console button) to switch weapons.
Just curious, is there a 'Return to Jackal Canyon' type side mission or do you only get to go there once? If only once I'll be disappoint.
The buggy can only fit one weapon. You need a different type of car to equip both at once. You'll have to go back to town and put whichever weapon on the buggy you prefer.
Go to your inventory (tab?) and "use" the phone, which should be somewhere at the top. You'll be prompted with a message whether you want to get towed back to the garage for humptidum dollars.

So, its been a few days and impressions are still all over the place. Even on GAF. Im still very curious about Rage, have been for ages, but Ive held off for a bit. So, my question for you who've played/finished or are still playing it, is it a good game?
If Im looking for a meaty single player campaign, with great environments, lovely art style, big world to explore and an interesting narrative, would Rage fulfill those needs?

Environments sure, art style absolutely, big world not so much, and there is no narrative. If you aren't in it for the minute-to-minute type shooting gameplay I think you shouldn't do more than rent it.

The first three it fulfills, but it doesn't have a big world to explore or an interesting narrative. What it does have is shooting bliss, not only is the core shooting is great, there's also great variety. 10 weapons, each with several different types of ammo, deployable turret sentries, deployable robot buddies, exploding RC cars, etc, etc. You'll wonder how you managed to endure every other ass backwards FPS game this generation, they'll pretty much be looking like straight garbage after Rage.

Hmm. Interesting. Another GAF member described the world of Rage, and the quest structure/exploration as being similar to Zelda. Would you guys agree with that statement. I mean, Zelda feels open, but isnt really.

If you look at it very basically and barebone, you'll find RAGE resembles Zelda:OoT quite a lot. But with guns and cars of course. And barely any story whatsoever.

yeah, they did the same with Clear Sky review which was unplayable on its release in CIS. You had to press a button and "download a patch" to continue reading the review because it was in gibberish otherwise.

Yeah, like jett said, Rage is like Zelda with guns.
what
I played through Rage and as a shooter its one of the best in class. The AI is excellent. The visuals are excellent (your milage may vary depending on where your preferences lie. I love the hand-crafted feel, environments, and attention to detail throughout Rage). The weapons are relatively standard, but all feel fun to shoot and multifaceted thanks to an awesome ammunition system.
Weaknesses abound, however, and your enjoyment will depend on whether you're willing to roll with the flaws and keep shooting or not. The environment may not be interesting from a story standpoint, but every mission rewards you with side-missions or addition expository details if you hang out around the hubworld and talk to everyone.
In the end, I recommend owning it. Rage is longer than Crysis 2 or Bulletstorm, and shooting wise I enjoyed it more than either game (although Crysis 2 was a lot of fun as well, in the end I appreciated it more as a stealth shooter).

I've been replaying Crysis 2 with that new texture pack and I really like the shooting in that one. The feedback from the enemies adds a lot to it, but the guns in general feel so nice, and the ability to customize them puts it above Rage for me. Still liked Rage's shooting, too, though.
Just finished it. I was getting so very into it, it was building up very nicely, and then BAM
I defend my position in a server room, click three buttons and that's the final boss fight? WTF?
The characters in this game are fantastic, the art direction is amazing despite some blurry textures and the gunplay was awesome. But the whole experience can be summarized with one word: anti-climactic. There had better be a direct sequel, or this is just stupendously squandered potential. The world id created was pretty engaging, at least to me, but they didn't take advantage of that at all.
Didn't even confront or meet
General Cross
, Redstone was just whisked away, Dan Hagar never made a kickass return, there were no twists, nothing to do with the other ark's (except
waking them up at the end
) and the
resistance
missions were far too few.
Essentially, the characters were charming and fleeting, the world was shallow and gorgeous, and the gameplay was pretty damn awesome. Bring on a sequel!
Anyone did Obsessive Compulsive? I'm 129/130, but the last mission didn't triggered it. Do I need to do minigames or the field goals? Any definitive list o requirements?
If you go to the inventory menu, and tab over to the far right tab, it give you a fairly detailed list of what you have accomplished, and what your completion percentage is. You should be able to find what you are missing in that.

I have everything maxed on this screen . I guess I have to do the mini-games too. And I'm already fucked, since the guy that plays guitar is already gone. Fuck this achievement.

More or less the same for me, but with the remarkable difference that the game was beginning to bore me, it finished perfectly in time from this point of view.

What in this game is giving you this "Shenmue" vibe? Very curious on your point of view on this. Same with the Zelda mentions from others. The vibe from RAGE, to me; felt like a "id" game, period. It was like a non-gothic Quake to me.
Open overworld connected to self-contained "dungeons", and a couple of towns with NPCs that give you quests and/or items. That's pretty much where the Zelda comparisons end.
Played some co-op Legends of the Wasteland tonight with a friend and GODDAMN, it is amazing. I really hope some DLC arrives with more missions, but as it stands, it's one of Rage's best kept secrets. So smooth. So good.

I think the Shenmue post was in the wrong thread and the Zelda remark was a sarcastic one...I see nothing whatsoever about this game that reminds me of Shenmue lol(besides maybe the NPC`s that look 10 times better then anything else in the game)

Great summary, and I agree. Just finished last night, and the game feels like it's just dabbling in many areas, ultimately going nowhere.
Characters end up being nothing more than means of activating quests - you may as well just be pressing a button on a terminal to get missions. There are no character or story arcs, none of these personalities end up having any relevance. As you mentioned, several seem like they're being positioned for bigger things, just to unceremoniously disappear, never to be seen again.
It's a fun game with great shooting and some gorgeous locations, but much of it ends up feeling like a tease.
You hear about it, you read about it, but nothing can prepare for how anti-climatic the ending is. Sigh. :/ I was having fun gibbing every single enemy with my hundreds of pop rockets though. It just needed a final boss or something. A shame.
I clocked about 17-18 hours, and did every side mission. Overall a great experience, the best FPS of this generation flat out. There's just so many ways you can tackle each combat scenario, it's really a lot of fun. I hope AMD gets their shit in order so I can replay this game again with a higher framerate.
