Ign can suck my Testes.

Anyone playing this yet? I'll be picking up my copy on the way home from work this afternoon.

That Gametrailers video review cuts off half way through for me.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

RAGE is basically a "modern and updated FPS shooter",thats all,(ID old school) but most people think that Rage, could be an RPG or something similar, THIS IS THE PROBLEM AND FIRST MISTAKE

If you're looking forward for a GREAT shooter, with tons of bullets, weapons, action, fun, and outstanding visuals, animations, textures (running at 60fps ) then, Rage is your game certainly, but if you're looking forward for another kind of game ( RPG like Fallout or something similar), with a great storytelling, deep and complex gameplay, or characters then you will be completely dissapointed with Rage

Anyways, 8.5 is a great score, however reading and whaching the IGN Videoreview, I have the strong "feeling" that they also wrongly expected anything else...and pretty different

Who said Fallout or RPG, i said story. Bioshock has great visuals and setting like rage but its the characters and story that really makes the game a classic. ID seems to have decided on the game looking and playing great but forgot to add a reason to care about the events in the game, for the develoment time the game went through adding a story and great dialogue isnt hard.

Just got this from Amazon, now just gotta wait until I get off work to play it. Looking forward to being engulfed in the RAGE universe!!!

Ok,, so then Quake, Doom, Wolfenstein are "classics" cause they have a great storytelling, right??

And your comparision with Bioshok, sorry but it is'nt the same, because Bioshock it's a different kind of game based on a strong storytelling (70% storytelling+ exploration and 30% action shooter) but according with the reviews and Carmack itself, RAGE is about 15% story + exploration and 85% shooter. Therefore, Rage is basically and old school shooter with tons of action and slight nuances of other kind of games or even RPG's, but just to update it to modern times.

If you want an advice DO NOT TRUST THE IGN REVIEW, because Rage has a decent story and dialoge, but again, ..RAGE does'nt focus on it , and this is something that Carmack and ID software has been repeating constantly in recent years (since the Game was announced)

It maybe oldskool, but when relase amongst modern games that have alot of old skool features AND a great story, one expects it.

I buy most games because they have great story and characters and gameplay and graphics. In single player that is, multiplayer is all about the shooting but single player demands time and effort put into the story for me.

First person Games without story or at least effort put into the story fade tend to away these days like Duke Nukem did.

I will be good to see other opinions though other than IGN

 

[Craze]

Sometimes it's fun to do nothing more than kill everything that comes running after you, no thinking, no drama, no worries, and look good doin' it.

If you're looking for a great and awesome storytelling game (whatever the genre) then RAGE is'nt for you, but Rage is'nt an shoting and shoting everything like a MP game neither

And about Duke nukem..ejem, I'm pretty sure that Rage has a FAR better and decent storytelling than DN does

You have many other reviews there, and the gametrailers videoreview I posted before, if you want to sneak a peek

Edit: Gametrailers gave to RAGE an 7.9 in the story department, if you have been watching any other VR of other games with a "supposed good story and plot", then, you will realize that 7.9 is a GREAT score on that department

 

[Craze]

I totally agree with you, speaking for myself only sometimes I don't need a game that's really story heavy like Mass Effect 2 or Bioshock. Those games are great for what they offer and I am hoping that Rage will be equally impressive for what it is.

Im a little disappointed they didnt do all the usual death matches.... in multiplayer but im not going to let that stop me getting this. Looks awesome

The MP is just coop mode with 2 players, but specific misions instead the main campaign

Yeah I feel this could have really worked with the usual multi player....
With so many great games coming out, I dont know weather to leave this 3 or 4 weeks as this should drop in price. I do want to play this tho

I''m gonna get it... eventually

But the lack of an engaging story has removed it from day one purchase territory, I'll wait for the price drop.

Yeah they are dropping real quick now. Im thinking after 3 or so weeks, this could probably be brought for around £25. It does look really slick tho.
I think there is a game out for the next 4 or 5 weeks on the trot that i would like

Update: traded gow 3 in and got this....went 360 version

How's the 360 version look? anything close to what we saw online?

 

[Reefer Shark]

Got mine at lunch today - can't wait to start blastin' tonight when I get home!

I'm one of those gamers that generally couldn't care less about storylines and such in games. I never really remember the stories after Ive played through them anyway.

 

[VALVOLINER]

Same boat. Waiting for price reduction.

IGN, and gametrailers, are 360 footage.

Its the best console version certainly, and according with all reviews I read the PS3 has some flaws... like a little blurry textures (not as crisp as 360 and PC does) and more noticiable problems loading (poping) textures, (even with the 8 gb mandatory instalation)

But both version runs smoothly at 60fps with no drops .

Edit: Just read some news about the PC version is gving problems, like tearing, load textures, and fr drops (but just with ATI components)

The IGN review was for the PS3 and said nothing about the problems you listed.
