I love how abruptly the game ends. You just sit in your seat going...wtf?
RAGE doesn't respect your time.

Rather not waste my time. FPS overloaded.

i've been begging for over 5 years.
Neither do my kids.
They'd need to pay me to spend the 30 hours required to download the bloody thing.

I am not going digital this gen, even though I wish I could.

Not worth it free. I went off about this on the OT a while back. I beat this POS game on my first play through on Nightmare. Game is ass.
Never played the pc version of Rage, but the answer to that question is always "of course".

Thanks! Restarted Steam and it's downloading now.
Can't wait to play it, I've been needing a new shooter to play to get used to the kb/m FPS play.

excellent gunplay and pretty looking game but no story at all and abrupt non climatic ending
Having kids is a deeply rewarding and profound experience.
Finishing RAGE will leave you cold and empty inside.

If the driving parts were removed and ID bothered with an ending it would be pretty good.
Sadly that is not the case.

Very disappointing but not a bad game. Considering how the open world aspect turned out, it's too bad they didn't scrap it early on to make more shoot em up stages. A straight shooter with actual DM MP would have been really sweet.

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own

best gunplay in a long time

Junior, please.
Misleading title, it's a free weekend not a giveaway.

oh look at you
I paid full price and I had allot of fun. I expected something to the length of borderlands, but its 12 hours so it was a bit disappointing in that regard, would this have been communicated better I am sure it would have been better received. The game looks amazing, plays great and was pretty damn entertaining. I think its well worth the time!

I sucked six dicks to get this tag.
It's a free weekend for a game that I hear is somewhat short and I have no bandwidth cap? Of course I'm downloading, shit ending or not. I hear it has amazing gunplay from everybody.
Edit: My download just completed too.

It's funny how taking one giant texture, and wrapping it around the entire world, turned out to be a bad idea.
Who could have seen that coming?
Killzone 2 and Max Payne 3 slightly beat it in that department, but yes, Rage's shooting mechanics are incredible.
PC gamers suffer so consoles could hit 60fps.

The truth right here folks. This needs to be in the OP.

It's a Dollar Store off-brand Borderlands. Shooting feels good but thats about it.

RAGE could have been so much more. Instead I feel like I played a tech demo.
Also, this was released the same day as Dark Souls, IIRC.

F off with that. The game isn't bad at all even with its issues. I own it on PC.
Man fuck you guys hating on this game.
I had a lot of fun with RAGE. The shooting mechanics are indeed top notch and make the rest of the game really fun. As empty as the hub areas felt, I still think the art direction was really good if you got the textures to work right (read: played the PC version and fucked around with AMD drivers). I can't remember the last time I gave a shit about the storyline in a shooter.
I just think it's a really good FPS. Megatextures were probably a bit ahead of their time when RAGE launched. Consoles and most people's PCs just didn't have the RAM for it.

The opposite would probably be the more apt analogy.
Good in bed, but her face is all crumbly and loading sometimes.
Eh, stick with yours.

I can't agree with this. I put FEAR and Rage in top tier shooting mechanics. Killzone 2 is middle of the road, over-animated stuff, and Max Payne 3 does nothing for me.

Pretty apt analogy for most AAA games.

This is the impression I got playing it, sure some things were hit or miss like textures but the experience was pretty satisfying

Aw man I clicked the thing that said I was born 10 months ago and now I can't play this.
I got Rage twice, first time got a steam refund (game was unplayable on ati), second time in a sale, played a bit, and ... i feel divisive about it even within myself. The graphics are unique and great, but also shitty beyond belief, and the gunplay is awesome, but framed between shitty fetch quests and driving segments.
As a company ID sits on 3 of the best fps ever made, Doom, Quake and Quake3, all 3 the epitomes of their style (and in the case of Doom and Quake, flavors nobody was able to replicate, Doom is STILL the funniest fps, and Quake1's atmosphere and bleakness is still incredible), and yet they acted for the last 2 games like an also-ran company, trying to catch System Shock and... whatever they were trying with Rage. It's as if Nintendo decided point-blank that they are bad at videogames and should churn out clones of Ratchet and Clank to catch up.

Have you ever played it?
I find it saddening when people have this response without ever having even touched the game.
