I admit, I lol'd.

Decided to get the PC version from Amazon. Fuck downloading 22 GB, and I get a $10 gift card.

Yeah, those are previews. Previews are never negative. From people reviewing it:

"Just hit the point where if I wasn't getting paid to play this fucking game, I would have stopped."

"Not impressed."

"Gotta love scheduled online review matches where nobody fucking turns up." "I give up. I don't have time to sit around in empty lobbies."

And I remember Arthur Gies on Rebel FM mentioning that he played a "new IP" recently that was under embargo that he didn't like. There is a very strong chance and is most likely referring to RAGE.

I thought you played (or at least tried to play) The Witcher 2? That was 19GB.

I thought it was less than that. Apparently my brain blocked that particular experience. Anyway I've never broken the 20GB barrier.

If anyone lives in the area of Mesquite, TX, you should go to your local gamestop midnight release. Carmack just tweeted:

I'm going to be at the Mesquite, TX GameStop Monday night for the midnight Rage release if anyone wants to say hi.

Star Wars Forced Unleashed has a huge download size. I think it's 26gigs, the game sucked, too.

Wouldn't a more frequent auto save system basically screw you over in the end? Lets think about this for a moment. You are able to buy equipment, ammo, etc in the game. You take missions from various NPCs, travel to areas, and then go back. If you are to compare the game to something else you'd compare it to Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas or even more recently Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Manually saving and having multiple saves are a must. Save when you enter an area. Save when you are about to enter what you feel could be an ambush. After a big fight save right away as you don't know what can happen. If it takes you out of the game then so what. It's a game and maybe people should be reminded of that and frequently.

All a more frequent auto save will do is keep your place in the area. Which more then likely isn't going to matter if what got you killed in the first place is still a factor. I doubt you'll be picking up weapon after weapon dropped by enemies. Once you are out of a certain ammo type I would expect you'd be out of it until you head back to a town to buy more if the enemies you are fighting don't use it themselves.

The auto save is only a major problem I feel if you go into this game thinking it's a linear FPS instead of what it actually. It being an open world shooter. The open world being the key phrase. You need to think more along the lines of the recent Deus Ex and Fallout games and less Halo and Call of Duty. Then the auto save frequency makes sense I feel.

Orange box PS3 didn't make a problem of it. Hold start for instant quicksave without pausing, checkpoints also had their saves. Simple and brilliant. Worked perfectly.

It's starting to become clear that this game is going to get ripped to shreds by the gaming press. Nobody is hinting at enjoying it, everyone is hinting at it being terrible.

It won like 500 Game of the Show awards at E3 2010.

I'm afraid reviews could hurt this game...:(

EDIT.
Actually, maybe not :D
I think I'm getting close to the end of RAGE....I don't want it to end :(

Steam question: can I pause a download, quit Steam, shut off my PC for the night and resume the D/L tomorrow? Normally I'd just let it run overnight, but I don't want one fucking game download to eat all my bandwidth if it resets again.

My RAGE folder in steamapps/common is still increasing in size though. So I'm gonna take the optimistic route here and tell myself it's an error on Steam's UI side.

Yes. Steam downloads the files individually and keeps track on what's done.
