RAGE |OT| "It's done when it's done"
- Thread starter Salsa
- Start date
But if someone doesn't gives us a number in relation to a game how will we know what to think?Solo said:
Also, I saw you post earlier saying that there was 24 hrs until RAGE was released, the US Steam store shows 7 hrs and the EU/AUS page shows 3 days 3 hrs, what gives, is there a third release zone?

Well note I haven't played the game in several years, but the feeling I came away from was that it was a very repetitive video game. Pretty, certainly. Atmospheric, agreeable. But it felt like too few ideas spread out unevenly over too many hours. The developers spent so much time on the visual side of things that the actual gameplay part kinda fell to the wayside. Oh, and that flashlight was awfulawfulAWFUL. About 2/3rds through the game, I kinda just pushed my way through it just to say I beat Doom 3 and can discuss it around the water cooler.
So right now, id Software is that company that made a pretty mediocre video game about 7 years ago. Not much of a resume to go on, in my book. I think people should talk more about the actual content of the game and judge it on its own merits, and not the supposed flawless intent and execution of the developers.
edit: Also, I find it really amusing of the "oh, don't listen to those reviews, they're all bought off and terrible, 8.8, kane and lynch, yadda yadda yadda". Its the cynical douchebag version of the same people they are criticizing, those people who just look at Metacritic blurbs and scores to support their opinion on a product.

I don't think I've ever bought (or chosen not to buy) a game solely on reviews. Sometimes unanimously strong reviews from the 4 or 5 sites I trust will reinforce my decision to buy something I was only 90% sure about, but that's it.
I'll be buying RAGE irrespective, but I'm still intrigued by how it's received generally.

Yeah dude I'm not rich at all, a lot of games have to wait till next summer before I have the time and money to buy them. But I can never trust game reviews after the horrendous fiasco that was GTA IV.

Rage and Borderlands are practically the same game.
Just like:
Witcher 2 and Skyrim
GT5 and Burnout
Mario and Crash Bandicoot
God of War and Ninja Gaiden
How can you guys not see IT!

the art design in the game is so incredible; have to say that some characters give off Nomura vibes though (mostly it's just the sassy girl with the wingstick)

edit: I take that back. It's down.
Well, it was up long enough for me to get a link:

Why are you guys sounding so desperate defending this game?
Rage and Borderlands have similar art styles but the games you've posted have completely different art styles. To say Rage and Borderlands don't looks similar visually would be looking delusional. How they play, is a different matter entirely.
It is kinda the same flak some people are giving Syndicate reboot for being too similar to Deus Ex HR. You can't deny that the game have a lot of similar visual qualities (design motifs, characters, e.t.c)

What irks me about that, especially on PS3 going by the videos, is that textures a not only loaded in your face, but they seem to do so every time you look around.
In UE3 games, you get that only once the scene has been drawn. After that, you can spin around and the textures will retain their quality.
In Rage, if you look away from a fully loaded texture and then look at it again, it goes through the low > high process again.
On that point, I wonder how the PS3 version would perform if you put a SSD in there.
Solo said:
Urgh. Find a top ten list of survival horror games, play a few, then realise the flashlight mechanic, the monster closets, the repetitive gameplay, the repetitive environments and the wafer thin plot does not make this 'one of the best horror games of the decade'. Then look up the word hyperbole in the dictionary and refrain from using it.

Rage's art style predates Borderlands. Borderlands is cel shaded and looks good in its own way. that some area of Borderlands look like some areas of Rage is a coincidence and isn't a criticism of either game.dmshaposv said:
that's why it's blowing my mind to hear people using it as one.

eurgh, this thread is going to make me talk about 'gameplay'.
ID games all 'play' great. in terms of how they handle, how the guns work, how well they control, their feel, how fun the enemies are to fight against? ID are best in the business.
Doom 3 had some questionable game design decisions, but i don't personally think of that as gameplay, but game design. Doom 3. great gameplay... bad game design.
no one criticises Doom 3 in terms of how the weapons handle and the enemies fight. they complain about the flashlight. they complain about the repetitive scares. they complain about the unrelenting darkness.
and frankly, i do too. but the gameplay... frankly i can't complain about that.
