Rage slammed with negative reviews after buggy launch

Well that's too bad, I was hopeful that Rage would be a Borderlands or Fallout variation.

OMG... it looked so cool I was about to buy it... thanks I'm not THAT compulsive and dont buy on pre-orders.

Hoo-boy, I'd sworn off pre-ordering games after being burned lately by a couple of games (Crysis 2 and Silent Hunter V specifically), but was sorely tempted to pre-order this one. Glad I didn't. There was something about the previews and trailers that just didn't "seem right."

Like many other games that have been released this year and have turned out to be big disappointments, I'll wait until it hits the Steam bargain bin sometime next year.

"Variation"?! This the best you could hope for? I was hoping it would blow'm all away and be the new leader/innovator like the good old days! Can't even touch, so it seems, "Deus Ex: Human Revolution" which launched just a few months earlier.

I would've never thought that the ID Software crew, of all people, could possibly fail so bad. It's sad to see ID following everyone else in this *****ic trend of making console games and then giving us shitty, half-baked ports for the PC. Pathetic.

Thank Bigfoot I didn't pre-order.

I dont know what game you guys are playing but i think its ****ing amazing but i guess if you dont like it you can go **** your self

Did you make it Guest? Why taking it so personal? wtf... if you liked it go play it, good for you!

Low quality textures on pc, no vídeo setting, from what I have read. I have to wait until ths Friday to play it here in korea

And this is how ID software goes down... in RAGE!

I think most people (that think about these things) expected as much. id don't make games anymore, they make engines. Rage was never going to be anything more than an elaborate tech demo. I mean, even the setting - a generic mashup of various games of recent years - looks more like something that Nvidia might knock up to showcase a new graphics card, rather that something people would actually like to play.

Payed full retail did we?:haha:

think you need to buy more games...you'll see what crap you've been given

not really, there haven't been any games in the style of what rage what supposed to be in recent memory.
I'm sad, i was looking forward to this game.

Its an ID Software game. Of course its crap. They made great 3d engines - still do, but they haven't had an original game idea for years and years. I lose count of the number of times I completed single player doom, doom2, quake and quake 2 plus every expansion. But Quake 3 was just multiplayer and more of the same and went up against Unreal Tourney and Counterstrike which was unbelieveably fresh. Quake 4 was more of the same. Even Doom 3 was dull dull dull. Rage isn't a fantastic single player game? It looks like a Borderlands/Fallout ripoff and has done for months. Run and gun but not in a very interesting way. The engine should be used in some decent games hopefully. maybe. who knows.

No tweak or advance setting for PC that is unacceptable.

That was an interesting read, Matthew - thanks for posting the link. The interviewer definitely had it pegged as he's aggressively addressing all the items people are complaining about in their reviews.

Yo hostile guest - forget your Prozac today?

Just force vsync on Rage.exe with the nvidia control panel. I am having a blast with the game.
