Rage- id Softwares new game

kinda a stupid reason not to play this game, Just because it does'nt have co-op like Borderlands.

No.

After reading about it, the co-op missions are bonus missions and not co-op for the single player story. Different than Borderlands where it was a co-op game which you can play solo while Rage is a single player game but has co-op bonus missions that relate to different parts of the story.

Well that sucks. Would have liked some co-op like border lands. Oh well, I guess I'll have to beat it myself.

So I am confused about this game, it talks about having a lot of exploration and such, but is this game anything like Fallout? or is it more like a typical FPS but with a bit of extra loot gathering?

Well, I think it's a FPS with RPG elements. I don't think you create your character or there is any way to upgrade your character. There is an inventory screen and you can upgrade and customize weapons and such.

There areas that are hubs and areas that involve sidequests and the main story. I don't think it's as open as Fallout but I would say that it's similar laid out like Borderlands.

I'm not sure but that's what I got.

Hmm, if its like Borderlands then I am intrigued, It looks a good game anyway but if it turned out to be a bog standard RPS like Quake or Doom then I may pass, but with some customisation and equipment choices I think it will be nice.

It's not like Borderlands though.

The map is like Borderlands, I think but the gameplay is not. It's not about gaining loot and exp. It's about the story and missions. (Even though Borderlands had that I think Rage is different than that)

So, kinda like a Fallout/Borderlands mix. Sound good. I already pre-ordered it and can't wait to play. It will be a fun diversion until Skyrim comes out.

I'm not sure. I still don't get the Fallout vibe from it (even though the settings looks like it). It's not an RPG.

I would think it's more like the STALKER series.

Those are PC aren't they? I have not played any of those.

They're hit or miss.

It's designed over by a Ukrainian developer and it's open world to a point. There is different areas that you go too with loading times in between but you can come and go to your heart's content (depending on where you are in the game). There is a main mission structure but different allies give you missions to do. It has weapon customization, night and day cycle, independent enemy movements (non scripted) and such. It sounds a lot like RAGE actually.

It's nothing like Fallout. There isn't any character customization aside from character dialogue choices and what equipment you have.

That's why I think STALKER is the game Rage will be closer in comparison.

I jumped around like a little kid when I saw the commercial using Counting Bodies.

Game looks generic though.

One review for the 360 version

Its pretty fun so far. Shooting mechanics are a little smoother than Fallout, but I guess they have to be without a VATS system. Graphics are nice and the driving is pretty solid. Character interaction is a little weak though, especially if you have been spoiled with Mass Effect or something. The missions seem to just stream right along without much emphasis as to why. But, still it is fun and should hold me off until I can pick up my MW3 and Skyrim games.

Secret Wolfenstien Room in the game

YouTube video

Also playing it.

After having a few problems with the PC release, I'm starting to get into it.

It's a bit slow at the start but the gun play is very solid (animations for the enemies is absolutely incredible) and the artistic design is pretty good as well.

It looks like Borderlands but that's where the similarity ends. It plays nothing like it. If I was going to choose, I would put the game as a direct competitor to the STALKER series but much more solid.

I got told theres other secret rooms...Ones to do with Doom & Quake

and theres also some things from Fallout that make an apperance.

There's 3 secrets room that involve old Id Software games. Wolfenstien, Doom and Quake.

There impossible to find if you don't look at the videos.

I saw a vault tec doll.

Apparantly the game has some graphical problems on the PC but yet it runs fine on the console

Yep. A patch was released recently.

Of course, Carmack blamed both graphic chip makers that they released the wrong graphic drivers. Yeah, two different companies made the mistake, not the developers.
