I just started Rage, bought on Gamersgate when it was 5€ and...man, this game is boring.
I played FIVE hours and I can't do anything else then driving between two locations and killing some monsters on three different location I already visited maybe three times each.
And the game has not a plot.
You see that video on the beginning, and that's all. There is no purpose to continue playing this, I'm playing on Nightmare and with infinite saves and regenerating health the game is a piece of cake.
Doom 3 is much better then this.

umm... ok.

XD

I want some opinions, it get better or worst? XD

No clue. You tell me so I know whether to buy it or not :)

Buy. In a deep discount, but please do. Yes, I can see you've let the game bore you for 5 hours that have disappeared somewhere JUST when you started it :-P

It's Id. So.... I expect the gunplay is satisfying?

Rage(to me) seems like one of those movies/ games that is much better if you try not to critique/analyze it too much. Just set your brain to "NASCAR Mode" and you should be all right.

(Also I heard it's alot better with friends. I never played it that way myself, but I did play a bit with my bro[The local co-op missions] & it was pretty fun.)

I like it. Though at one point I did get caught up in gambling. Nearly as bad as I did when I was in the Witcher.

Yep, gunplay is by far the best bit of this game: And not only gunplay, reactions of your opponents are utterly fantastic as well. Enemies react to their surrondings when they die, sometimes they just fall over a table, sometimes they crawl on the floor for a bit before expiring, when you kill an enemy while he's running, momentum alone is keeping him up for a few seconds until he collapses to the ground. And that's just an example - I've never seen such an amazing iteraction of dying opponents and their surroundings + current situation.

That's not all, tho: Enemies are pretty varied, it's important who you're fighting and they're acting in accordance to their 'lore' - there are disciplined and highly organized enemies, utterly chaotic ones, and every ground requires slightly different strategy.

Then there are the racing bits, which are fun, altho nothing special - you can skip most of them if you so desire.

All in all, Rage is definitely way above average.

I haven't played Rage...yet. But I will say, this is a similar experience I had with BulletStorm. I kinda feared this ahead of time though, and bought it on sale, as he graphics looked deceent, and I am always up for trying a new shooter. It started out okay...dialogue was a bit needlessly over the top with the profanity, but whatever, I was okay with that. Story seemed to be okay as it began. But as I continued to play, it was just too linear, and really very little too keep me interested. Even with the introduction of some neat new weapons, and abilitiy to use interesting skillshots, ultimately, I just found it boring the crap outta me rather quickly. I just find myself needing a lot more than just some rather senseless, mindless shooting to keep me happy and interested these days. Maybe playing games like Fallout 3, XCom: EU and the like, are just ruining these types of games for me now, lol. I still enjoy firing up Doom 3 and the ROE expansion pack now and then though....just something special about it, what can I say? Ahh good to know, will definitely be giving it try sometime in the future :)

Ah, in-game gambling.....the bane of many a player's attempts at completing their games. Some of my favorite examples of this(besides TW 1/2) are the gambling games in the Fable games & Xenosaga.

It's a shooter. The in-between levels open world stuff is flavor material. If one does not like a simple shooter one should not buy simple shooters.

I paid $50 on release day and loved the game.

OFF topic: So many Shodans here and it´s not a SS2 topic...

XD I noticed that too but I didn't want to say anything and be fed to the wolves. Now that I think about i there are also a lot of DeusEx.

Just Fenixp and I
