Helo

It has happened what I was afraid of. Cheap, campaign like game, no real story, trying to mimic RPG-like features.
Not suitable to ID Software at all. Weak plot weak dialogues, and annoying UI. Friend of mine bought this game, and
I was watching him, and I'm happy I haven't bought it. Idon't think I will.
Not to mention the buggy coding, we still couldn't fix the texture rectangles glitch, and the game didn't even start up because it crashed saying about some
atioglxx.dll failed module.
I'm disappointed in Mr Carmack, it used to be that they created much more high standard softwares. The game right now is unplayable.

I know how frustrating it can be when you buy a game for PC and it doesn't work right away and/or as good as you had hoped. If i were still having problems with the game i'm sure i'd be on here as well having a stroke and what not like a lot of people seem to be doing. Fortunately, the game runs nice for me now and the overall graphics, artwork and fun game play makes me not care about some [censored] wall textures. IMO a lot of the complaints about this game are just from people who are angry with the current state of the game and taking their rage out on all sorts of little details. With time they will get over it, or forget about it.


My biggest complaint is you can not jump over anything. annoying when you can't jump a 2 foot high railing.

I play it on PC and I lag soooo hard, it took me 10 minutes just to get out of the pod

I agree.

Did you not see the screenshots of this game and media that was distributed? If your system was not able to convey those images then it's your system--my system was able to get exactly what was advertised. Comparing screenshots nudged up against the wall is ridiculous. Everyone that i've shown this game to has said the same thing...WOW!

Can you take a screenshot of your gaming experience and not nudged up against the wall? If you are running a high rig then i'm not sure why you are disappointed because like i've said the media prior to launch has stayed true for anyone with a nice rig.

I think some complaints are warranted but most are just overboard and way off base and it has mostly to do with what the users expected their experience would be with their current system. I'm sure the collective feeling before release was hey I have a mediocre system that should make sure I have a better visual experience than the consoles which is not the case with RAGE. Like Carmack said PCs are way more powerful but are so inefficient compared to consoles that it was even hard to get the game running on High-End systems at 60hz.

Those with complaints have made them but you will notice the trolls are the ones that will keep on complaining about the same thing...ok you hate the game we get it...What do you want us in the forums to do about it?

No it's not my system. I happen to have spec beyond that of the recommended requirements and am running the game at max settings AND the 8192x8192 tweak, WITH GPU Transcoding AND 16x AF. It plays at plenty high FPS even with those settings/tweaks, so it's not my spec. I can do all that on a mere GTS 250 1GB btw, so clearly the game was not made with advanced hardware and high end graphics in mind. Carmack himself was quoted as saying they were pushing for 60 FPS on any system, whereas Doom 4 will be made with higher detail and slated for 30 FPS.

Honestly I think a LOT of people here need a new eyeglass prescription because the one they're using is apparently outdated, like the graphics in this game. There have been numerous screenshots comparing this game's textures to 6-7 year old games like Doom 3 and FEAR 1, even an animated Gif on Nvidia's website posted here by AndyB from Nvidia showing the game with and without the 8k texture tweak. It's obvious in that demonstration Gif that even the highest detail pic shows textures nowhere near up to those of today's state of the art game graphics.

Play Just Cause 2 on just max texture detail even without everything else maxed and you will clearly see that common items like tires, barrels, walls, buildings, hell, most textures in the game for that matter, look FAR more detailed than most of the textures in Rage, and it's a game with a FAR bigger map and NO map loading to wait through. The real kicker is JC 2 has all that while taking up less than 5GB file space total for the entire game.

Rage has a lot of things going for it, but graphics, engine design (mainly the megatexture concept), and file size are not among them, unless all you care about in gtraphics is the art design and not the texture detail. To put it another way, why would Carmack himself have admitted he wished they'd pushed PC hardware further with this project, and why would id be coming out with an HD texture pack if the graphics were as great as some of you claim?

The ending was really a let down.

Crash some high tech cars who are actually made out of paper.

Do the normal instance walk through the dungeon, fighting enemies, etc.

Kill 12 bionically enhanced ghouls and then it's over.


The story also stopped so abruptly...

The authority is also a really cheap villain faction.
Just look at their flag. Honestly, what happened to depth with the bad guys?

Since i am away for atumn vecation i could only play the game for about an hour or two at home on my gamer pc before i had to leave.
Unfortunaly i can't play the game on the computer on my current location.

I had to tweak the game to get it to run at acceptable quality.
And i think the game looks good, not great, but good. The game looks far better than most games out there, but for an Id game i am a bit dissapointed.
As they have alaways impressed me with their skill in macking good graphics and very polished games. And even though i think the game looks good, it is just not as good as i expected from this company. When Doom 3 was released it was revolutionary, and it was the first game that really made a huge leap in graphics. I had no bugs with the game and it was a blast to play. And with Rage i have expected that this game would again beat everyone at graphics and polish.

And it sadnes me to hear they focused on consoles first and PC second, Atleast give them the same amount of attention.
I had this illusion of Id being one of the few left who did not put consoles before PC.
And when they spend this long in development for a game and it comes out on PC with this many issues, it is very disappointing. Especially when other developers can push out games that has more than 60 hours of gameplay with less development time and that it actually runs on release without these issues.

As i have stated, i have only played for an hour, and I can't wait to continue playing it when i come home. But i have already noticed things i find to be disappointing. Graphics is not what i expected, the textures is as everyone know, not nearly good enough for PC gaming, and a very beutifull but static skybox. But there is one thing i am very impressed with, and that is the enemy animations. Especially the death animations looks amazing and very varied.
Gameplay wise there are a few issues i just think is to old school. Like not being able to pick up weapons from downed enemies, and instead only acquiring weapons from quests. And the first boss fight was so out of place and was just not designed well. Normal fights against enemies is a blast, and i hope these bad design decisions is not frequent throughout the game.

The last thing i want to mention, so far the weapons are very boring. The shotgun is such a letdown. Not even pump action. they must have gotten a new designer as id has always made great shotguns.

better story than the games...

I think the same, this game is amazing, I am on the Xbox as well and have completed it with joy, I love the WINGSTICK
:tes:

Us PC gamers normally the ones that complain have spent a great deal of money to keep are pcs high tech. This means we exspect alot out of a gaming company. I spend about 599 every 2 years for a new video card to keep up with jones. A console gamer(hey i have xbox 360 too) spends far less and expects less. Now i have no issues with rage as is the games runs amazing on my 580GTX. Looks amazing too. Seems its more AMD guys that have suffered because the lack of CUDA cores. I also think 90% of my textures looki amazing so im not going to complain about a tire or wall picture thats lower quality. I love this game only thing i hate is the mouse is hard to control in menus and the ending was alittle abrupt. Hoping for DLC to fix or getting my hands on the IDSTUDIO and making my own lvls.

I complained quite loudly when the game simply wasn't working. Now that it is, I'm reasonably satisfied - the game proper is good. That said....

It's pretty obvious that id did only the bare minimum when cobbling together the keyboard-mouse controls: no option to turn off mouse acceleration; some keybinds failing to work at all; keyboard steering; excessively fast menu navigation; lack of hold/toggle options for sprint and crouch - I could go on. These are not obscure glitches that can only be discovered through the statistical advantage of millions of players: anyone using a KB+M would have identified these issues within hours, if not less. How did these issues make it through QA? Did anyone actually try playing the game with KB+M?

These problems are, quite frankly, inexcusable for a PC game - the kind of issues that one pessimistically expects from (or, alternatively, defines) the stereotypical botched console-to-PC port. id has gone above and beyond to patch up the botched release, and I am going to assume they will eventually fix these admittedly small issues, but the fact that these problems managed to persist through the entire development cycle doesn't really give the impression that id actually cared about the PC version (until the complaints started rolling in).

as long as i can see the girls boob and leg on the games. i don't care what is the graphic style.
