Rage DLC Arrives Tomorrow

[Rip Van Rabbit]

So when do we get the finished version of the game?
Because I wasn't impressed with lackluster failure of a tech demo that was released.

Rage is a great FPS. I don't get why people don't like it.
This DLC certainly is unexpected but it has good timing, as I was planning on playing Rage again on harder difficuilty. I only wish they would have focused their DLC on more Authority and more Endgame or ANYTHING more interesting than yet another bandit clan, of which there seem to be enough already.

Liked the game, solid 7/10 but I can't see myself spending more money on it... I'd like to but just so many other things, really not worth it for me. Does look good though...

all i remember about this game was being really excited, then being incredibly disappointed and putting it down after 30 mins :/

Unfortunately it took me more than 30 minutes lol

I bought it for PS3, and immediately was scared when I heard that the PC was having problems with the graphic cards because the graphic cards were somehow incompatible or something. Well first thing I saw on the PS3 was the most absurd lack of texture ever seen in a game, textures would take ages to load, and most of those that were far away wouldn't fully load at all, you just played the game feeling it was incomplete. Sadly, a lot of stuff was very nice, the guns had some sweet impact on the enemy, the setting was nice, those clockwork things in the game's universe. So I kept going, until I had to concede that the horrible story and character conception (I felt more in tune with the protagonist of Doom for crying out loud), not to mention the unpolished gameplay (what the fuck were those races???) weighed too heavily on the game.

I love post-apocalyptic settings, fortunately I have Fallout and Borderlands (which isn't quite post-apocalyptic, but it gives the same feel...)

I actually bought Rage during the Black Friday sale. It had been on the to-do list for awhile, as it looked like Fallout, and I love Fallout.

The game's not bad once the technical issues are out of the way, but it's reminescent of the glory days of linear FPS. You can't interract with half the environment, even though it looks really good. They might as well have taken out the illusion of open world gameplay, because it's nigh on nonexistant.

For 5 bucks, I can see myself picking this dlc up.

Now that you mentioned it, I remember thinking about the very same thing back then: this game could've been MUCH more fun if it didn't attempt to be a sand box (and quit that racing BS), it could've gotten more focus on story and polishing in general...

Yeah, when you know you can find Rage, a game that came out a little over a year ago, in the cheap bin at your local videogame store, you know you probably should stop releasing DLC for it and maybe focus on your bigger, better hits. Like Skyrim. And Dishonored. Just sayin'.

It's not that the game sucks, it's just that...it wasn't THAT impressive. Could have been better but it wasn't. And I'm not talking about graphics; I don't give a crap about those. But usually, the price drops tells me something about the game. Duke Nukem sells for 8 bucks, I think. However, AC: Brohood still sells for like 25.

Rage is a great corridor shooter. The gunplay is fantastic, every gun feels like it has weight. The enemy movement is still some of the best I've seen. I'll be picking this up.

 

[Korzack]

Yeah, I'll grab this at some point, I got a lot of fun out of the first one, specially once I started playing with the other ammo types. Pity it didn't sell well, but when the fashion's for Cod-style MMS, suppose I shouldn't be too surprised (Avoiding the U-word like the plague here)

 

[Shocksplicer]

Rage is a great corridor shooter.
Unfortunately, it doesn't start being a corridor shooter until literally the last 5 minutes.
Definitely won't be picking this up.

For £3.49 I will give this a try, RAGE was actually kind of of fun after ID patched it and AMD fixed the drivers. Shame they didn't patch the ending though. The end was even worse than ME3s ending, because at least it had an ending.
