Why are so many people comparing Rage to some of the best rpg's out there. Rage is a FPS, how hard is it to understand. Sure it has a little bit of rpg tangled within it but it is not meant to be fallout 3 or borderlands. FIrst person shooters have really svcked lately until now. Rage is a game that has great gameplay and just the perfect mix of looting, crafting, vendors, and insanely awesome open and linear aspects. Really what more can you ask for.

ID software delivers once again. Thank you for not trying to make a Call of Duty or a pointless rpg. All this compaling but why? Of course if you go into Rage expecting a traditional Bethesda game your going to be upset. If you want total freedom I'd wait till a little game called Skyrim comes out. If your eager to play a great game that is unique and fresh then Rage is waiting for you. Go get it!

I see all these posts about how it was way too short and it svcked because it wasn't as open as a role playing game but that is because (once again) it's not! How many times have I read on here that people want a refund because they only got 18 hours a gameplay. First off that's not too shabby but I'm telling you if you play the game how it's supposed to be played and take advantage of all it has to offer then you'll get way more hours. I'm still in wellsprings and I'm at 25 hours, I'm about halfway through the game. I've spent some of those hours playing mutant bash tv, racing, exploring for rare plants, and playing games but it was all very fun and I'll probably continue to those things. People that are beating in less then 20 hours and not doing and getting everything the game has to offer, I don't care what they say it's not possible. It can take an hour or two just searching for a desert spore.

Let me put it in the easiest way possible because some people don't seem to get it.

borderlands+fallout= not this game

Fun+new+exciting+wingstick+unique+in your face+awesome+superior graphics, gameplay and sound= RAGE

I keep reading forum posts and even reviews where people complain about not enough RPG elements within the game. People don't seem to understand, and perhaps id software & Bethesda didn't communicate this hard enough, that this is a shooter. An FPP/FPS game with added inventory, NPCs and driving. That's it. Those who expect an RPG should not even look at Rage. It's a shooter. And a great one! I didn't have so much fun since... I don't know, Quake days?

Quake Days were the days! Noting compares to q2ctf. Now that was some MP fun!

Well said Metal. most complaints are coming from "elitist" PC gamers. Most of their complaints are short sighted and they are just angry the game didn't run good at launch. They will get over it. Just so you know i am also a PC gamer, but not a pouting 13 year old.
