Rage on.

[FaChoi]

Perhaps it's a bethseda "modders will fix it" thing.

 

[Excommunicator]

There is little more annoying than when something says "we are taking this important functionality away from you because a few people out there would struggle to operate it correctly"

 

[SuicideBunny]

hopefully they'll be pressured into patching it out.
i'll be pretty pissed if that shit doesn't recognize my quadro properly, which seems rather likely.

 

[Exmit]

I bet the name 'Rage' is an inside joke - of what people will think while playing this piece of smoking turd.

While the fact that the auto-configuring of settings is forced sucks, I actually like the idea in theory. Provided they can alter the visual quality without the transition being noticeable, and I'm in the middle of the action at the time, I think putting fluidity over looks is a good idea, and means I don't have to say, turn down my settings every time I go into a more demanding part of the game world.

Rage right now doesn't interest me in the slightest. I'm much more curios about the new Doom though.

 

[Oriental European]

Also, who needs an HD version when you have ZDoom and Doomsday?

And Skulltag.

I just watched an episode of Breaking Bad that started off with Jesse playing Rage. Can anyone tell me if this shits any good? I don't really care about graphics, I just want to know how the gameplay is? It's not a CoD virtual rail shooter is it?

 

[SoupNazi]

I loved how on the show, it literally IS a rail shooter. Almost as if a Codexer put it in the show.

Quake 4 and Wolfenstein. Those were the first signs of id going full casual. Yeah, they were developed by Raven, but what, id couldn't stop them from adding health regen to Wolf and squad members to Quake? Also, nice job setting Q4 in Q2 universe, right after Doom 3. Same metal textures everywhere, same organic gimmicks, almost same darkness. Lazy fuckers.

 

[shihonage]

Quake 4 seemed like a decent game, except they dropped co-op support from the series (I never forgive anyone for this), and, after upgrading to Vista, the game stopped running as their DRM asked me for a serial I already lost with the box.

So I quit.

 

[MapMan]

They day doom game will have health regen is the day we will know for sure that Id isnt capable of producing a quality game ever again.

More like because they get more monies from hardware makers

 

[SuicideBunny]

pc gamers get access to the dev console which allows manual tweaking of settings, apparently.

First review?

Oh well, too late to cancel my Amazon order now.

Second review?

Funny how first review bashes the AI, while second review praises it.

 

[Sceptic]

They day doom game will have health regen is the day we will know for sure that Id isnt capable of producing a quality game ever again.

To be honest, Doom 3 was what sealed the deal for me. That their last single-player FPS before it was 6 years earlier, and that in the 7 years since they've not developed anything, was indication enough that nothing good would come out of them again. Rage might turn out to be alright, but I'll be genuinely (and pleasantly) surprised if it's anything more.

Second review?

RPG elements that include resource collection, a robust crafting system, a mess of minigames, and more sidequests

 

[Oriebam]

Hoping resource collection is not l4d2 or me2 resource collection

It's a shame too Fallout 3 fucked up "survival game elements" for me, unfortunately I think this is permanent

 

[Oriental European]

Well well well. This looks not bad at all. Hmmm... mb if there will be a mod which will remove health regen, i´ll give it a try.
Fake Edit: i almost forgot that i have to play the game, to write an article for my website about games from id. In Ukrainian language. I made it like a month ago. First in UA-net, can you imagine? Fuckin USSR, people have used to Russian language.

 

[BLOBERT]

BROS I DONT TRUST MOST OF THE PCTARDS HERE TO HAVE AN INTELLIGENT OPINION EITHER WAY

SOME BROS JERK OFF OVER EVERY NEW POPAMOLE

SOME BROS JERK OFF OVER ANY PEACE OF SHIT THAT CLAIMS ANTIPOPAMOLE IN PREVIEWS

SOME BROS JERK OFF OVER GAMES NO ONE ELSE LIKES

CRITICAL THINKING ON THIS FORUM IS ONLY SLIGHTLY MORE PREVALENT THAN GAMESPOT LOLLOLOL

 

[SuicideBunny]

if skyway likes it in a thread full of people praising it, chances are it's good.
if vd hates it in a thread full of people hating it, chances are it's bad.
other than that, you're on your own.
anyhoo:

[Multi-headed Cow]

Game is apparently poop. Bros on my friends list who started playing on PC are mentioning massive texture pop in even on PC. And since you can't adjust any graphical settings beyond resolution and AA, welp.

 

[Metro]

Buddy of mine preordered... I wished him luck!

 

[DemonKing]

Here's an interesting review - they raise quite a few criticisms for something they eventually rate as being 9/10 experience...

After reading the Ars Technica review, I decided to RMA the package on arrival, just like I did with RE: Mercenaries 3DS.

EDIT: Now UPS may attempt to pick this up before UPS delivers it in the first place. FUCK, Amazon!
