Rage is a first-person shooter video game developed by id Software. It uses the company's id Tech 5 game engine. Released in October 2011, the game was first shown as a tech demo on June 11, 2007 at the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), and was officially announced on August 2, 2007 at QuakeCon. On the same day, a trailer for the game was released by GameTrailers.
The game is set in a post-apocalyptic near future, following the impact of the asteroid 99942 Apophis on Earth. The game has been described as similar to the movie Mad Max 2 and to video games such as Fallout and Borderlands. Influences on the driving and racing gameplay include games such as MotorStorm and Burnout. Players can upgrade their cars with racing certificates won from races. Upon its release, the game had received fair praises from critics and reviewers. - Hry
I remember how overblown the advertising for this game was. In germany they promoted it as being "from the creators of Doom and Quake". Meanwhile Doom and Quake were still banned when Rage came out.
+r3v4n21 Doom and Quake has been banned in Germany? Okay, tell me what ISN'T banned there. Music, movies, games, you name it. Only Australia might be worse in that regard.
+r3v4n21 lol, that's hilarious and sad at the same time.
Reloaded2111 Movies and art are hard to ban because they art. Videogames also only rarely get banned here. The last banned game that comes to mind is Dying Lite. The rating system got a bit less hard in the last couple of years. Wolfensteni: The New Order for example got released here. They only censored all links to Nazis because nazi symbolism is illegal (It's time that Videogames get regarded as art here...). And the game still works because everybody here knows that Wolfenstein is game where you shoot Nazis.
But banned reall sounds too harsh. In most cases it's just forbidden to advertise and openly sell these games. Owning them through imports etc. isnt illegal.
For me, it *doesn't* work because I'd *know* all the time that I get patronized and the enemies are indeed nazis. Not neo-nazis, the third reich nazis. They can shuff that up their asses. It even worked better for me with Red Alert, when they created story elements even within the cut scenes that all units were cyborgs (actually robots), that being the reason they "bleed" oil instead of blood. That being the case for all Command and Conquer games, if I recall correctly.
But shooting nazis, obviously, them being the 'real deal' and not having them show their symbolism? But every other media is allowed to do that? Fuck off, BPjM.
Gordon S. That stuff il no longer be censored when Video games get recognized as art in germany.
But since the debate about "Killergames" came back after the shooting in Munichit can take a while.
I remember being blown away by the visuals even on PS3. It's a decent game that could've used some more meat on the bone but very fun and in keeping with id's structure. The hype just oversold it for people I think.
Seriously though, this game had an awful, awful ending...
Push a button.
Credits.
Nice Job.
+Salokin Sekwah wanna see a really awful ending, watch the black's final

it's cooler, in the end u've been told that u didn't kill the main villain and now u've got help , the end
think before u wright or talk , it helps
+1231231232972 What the fuck are you talking about?
I still play it regularly for fun, I seriously love this game.
For real. A friend gave it to me because he didn't like it so I wasn't expecting much, but after playing it I think there's something wrong with my friend.
VERWIJDER PAELLA
same
I just started playing Rage in vr 😊

I just wish I could skip the dialogue.
This game's animation is phenomenal, I don't see how anyone can disagree.
Nobody disagreed about that. Visual fidelity was the one thing people actually agreed on with this game. Wtf u talking bout.
This game is Phenomenal, Gman's a Fking idiot!
@@idrinkmilk282 Still drinking soy milk?
Well for the time I was good, but even by the time this video was uploaded there were better and more realistic animations in games
@@Kane.JimLahey.Is this supposed to be an insult?? 🤔
I remember recieving this game as a gift from the husband of an employee of my father. My uber strict dictator mother was really skeptical of the game's violence, so I was forced to play the beginning of the game with her at my side observing everything in the game and everything that I did. If there was something she didn't like she would return the game. Absolutely nerve wracking.
Wow that's fucked up bro
Lol
It's a shame you didn't say if she was okay with it or not, because there's decapitation and shit in this game.
Dang, that’s nerve wracking as fuck.
Please tell me that mother is not that much of an asshole anymore.
This game doesn't get the love it deserves despite getting all the hate it deserves.
It was a feat of it's time for being a tech demo gone off the rails.
Sure, the ending sucked but when I got there and the credits started rolling I wasn't angry because it was a shite way to end the game. I was just angry there wasn't more game to play.
I.
Wanted.
More.
Rage.
and then a week before Bethesda announced Rage 2, I was tweeting at them about when we were going to get more Rage.
And then the trailers dropped, and I was pumped.
And then I found out the game didn't pick up where Rage left off.
And then I found out you weren't the same player character,
And then I found out the game sucked, thankfully before I bought it.
I was more pissed off by Rage 2's existence than I was pissed off about any of Rage's shortcomings.
Rage and Wolfenstein were sacrificed on the alter of R&D for id Software to pump out Doom Eternal having released 2 games with drastic mechanic experimentation that were soundly rejected.
So.... I'll take Rage being a tech demo over Rage 2 being a nazi zombie fetus that escaped from it's lab.
Did you ever end up playing Rage 2? People tend to shit on any game that isn’t a ‘masterpiece’ the past few years especially. I had never even heard of Rage but discovered 2 on Game Pass a year or two ago and was surprised at how much fun it was. I got lost in that game just exploring the wasteland, grabbing weapons and powers from the Arks, and taking out outposts. Combat was a lot of fun as well. I even bought the dlc expansion. Story was lackluster, but when I finally played Rage 1 I felt the same there as well, although it is a bit more focused than 2. Bethesda had nothing to do with Rage. ID may have made 1, but it had heavy involvement from Avalanche, as well as their engine, for 2, so it does feel like a different game. I hope they get to make a third because they have great combat and gunplay and some solid ideas to work with. If they could get a compelling story and add in some more flair in the world, it could really be something. Rage 2 was one of my top ‘hidden gems’ though so if you never ended up checking it out, I highly recommend it if you’re ever looking for something to play. Game was awesome, for me anyway. I play a lot of games though and a lot of variety. So it was a welcome change of pace for sure.
The ending is bad, I know. But, after all these years I'm still playing RAGE. It's a very good shooter.
i actually liked it . The gunplay I thought was fantastic. As it should be, coming from id , the fathers of the FPS. I wish they'd make a sequel
TheAdam159 Yeah, maybe it could get a better sequel like Borderlands. The original Borderlands was average as well, because it also was still developing it's universe. Then, it got a sequel that took the great gameplay and focused on the story and character development.
Yeah I feel the same way. Although, the enemy types were pretty weak too.
I agree, I really loved the game. My only issue, though, was the ending. I don't have a clear memory of it, I beat it when I was like 13 and never bothered going back to it, but I remember being so excited with all this build up leading to driving to that big base, I finally had the big gun with BFG ammo stocked up for the big fight, then you stand around in the base for a few minutes while something charges up, press a button, and the game just ends. You see a cutscene of a bunch of the bunkers coming out of the ground, then roll credits. The one thing about the ending I vividly remember was being so outraged I literally stood up from my chair, glared down at my TV, and yelled *_"WHAT?!"_*
I figured there would be an after credits scene or something but no, the game has no real conclusion and it's such a giant let down after the rest of the game was so fun.
TheAdam159 Hahaha watching from the future!!!! And you may just get youre wish this June..... :)
Gameplay trailer for Rage 2 drops tomorrow. You got your wish buddy. 🙀
this certainly isn't a bad game,, it's just we have high expectations from id
This game was really generic. The ending was bad
Game was certainly generic, but not bad, it's true the ending was bad
@@TheKarui you just didn't understand the game you probs found it to hard
You 've got to be kidding, right ? Rage generic ? Rage is the masterpiece on every single aspect it touches upon. So you are saying that Rage isn't high enough to your expectations ? Man you are a casual fool.
Certainly better than RAGE 2
Imagine Fallout 4 with the Rage character models. Fallout 4 looks like a 360/PS3 launch title as far as character models go. I had forgotten about Rage but remembering it now and comparing it to my current play through of Fallout, I think I had more fun with Rage. Hell, I am playing FarCry 4 right now and I am enjoying it more than Fallout. I guess I am just not a huge Bethesda fan.
We are in 2023 and I still haven’t found found a FPS with a secondary weapon as good as that boomerang. I love it.
I enjoyed Rage in my first playthrough, because the mechanics were solid enough, though the graphical issues could be distracting and there was this constant feeling that Rage was unfinished. There was always some element of the game that seemed like there was intent to flesh it out, but time constraints or whatever else forced an early wrap up. A part of me wishes we could see the product that could have been were there more time devoted to fleshing it out, but, alas, Rage is still not a bad game, just clearly a casualty of wasted potential.
I feel the same, and it has quite a bit of content, ngl
Maybe it's just the lack of variety in the enemies, or how underutilized the overworld is. More unique zones like the final part of the DLC would've been cool. If I had to point out one of the major flaws is perhaps how useless most of the crafting is, like the turrets that just get one-shotted, and even if they don't, they get destroyed once you try to take them back after they depleted just a bit of it's ammo anyways. Not to mention there's barely any reason to use them anyways, since the game is fairly easy, it's faster to just midlessly run and shoot instead of taking your time getting the mats, making robots to help you and deploying them and then wait for them to follow your pace.
Hmm. I recently finished Rage 2, and I feel like the original actually looks better in some aspects
The second one was just a Doom 2016 clone with purple tint and flashing lights. The first one is wayyy better
Second one was basically Mad Max with Rage textures. I STILL don't know if I will ever buy the second game.
@@frayedsanity Don't , well not if you liked the first one. The second one might be a decent shooter if thats what you're after but the first one was a much more immersive game. I couldn't get past about 4 hours of game play on number 2. The only thing in common with the first game is the name.
This feels like one of those battle royal games really IMO.
@@michaelwilson8461 that's a shame. Maybe I'll wait for it to get cheap. I did that with the first one, but I really like the first one...I just wish it was a bit larger - world wise.
@@frayedsanity Ya man, the first one got a lot of hate for some reason. Partly due to the texture streaming issues and looks. Personally I loved the first one. Definitely would have loved a larger world with more to do. Was so hoping that was what number 2 was going to be, the same but more of it. Im going to give it a little bit and try again, but just not feeling it for this game.
I loved the enemy animations of this game, they just feel so much more real
Well, I loved this game, and I will probably be playing it again this Christmas.
About the textures - it's a tradeoff. There is a great variety of them and, like Ggg said, you never see the same thing copy-pasted in the game... yet this came with a hefty price tag - harsh compression. And this is why many textures appear very low-res. I believe Carmack once said that an uncompressed version of Rage would be close to one terabyte in size... just try to imagine this.
But these are all flaws I can forgive because the game is immersive, has a resonable sense of humor, and has the id Software spirit that I've known and loved since 1992 :)
You say it draws inspiration form Borderlands. This was announced 5 months before Borderlands, and much of the stuff in the final game was already shown then. Though that said, the gun play in this game is superb. But the general story and SP progress was rather dull. Much of the same just to make it seem longer. Little variation of enemies and levels. But the big enemy "the authority" was not even there as such IMO, why even add them, they had more presence in the co-op missions. And the end the game seems rushed to complete the story with tons of lose ends. And when you finally get past the wall you hear so much about with the authority behind it... it's over in less then 15 min and the game is over. Such a fail for 8 years in development. You think they would have time to develop a good story. But instead they had doom and Wolfenstein hidden levels all over.
I highly doubt the game was looking like this 5 months in development.
Rare was released just under 2 years after borderlands. But was in development longer. When announced they showed a trailer that was more or less what we know and see now. inc the cars "as this started out as a car game, thus so many of the race elements remains", the lollipop store lady, the boomerang weapon, the few monsters they had. You name it. If anything I say they took inspiration form fallout and it's world if you look at the early screens form rage vs the reveal images fallout 3 had. Considering how the early trailers was, god knows what they did for 5 years. Tho Carmack said it went out to be Mad Max with an asteroid. Borderlands, it's setting and graphics even is inspired form a movie called Codehunters. They build their game based on that story, looks, characters and settings almost. I'm gonna be bold and say they were developed at the same time. But did not copy or draw inspiration form each other at all, but form others. Just happened to be the same at the same time.
TOMMYHEAD 3:16
Not sure how long before announcement Borderlands had been in development. But rage when announced was considered a finished product. It had a released planned for a short year later. Though then delayed to 2009, and then nothing was heard until late 2010 for what ever reason, tho most suspect coding issues with consoles and the graphic stuff. If you look at some of the later Doom 3 videos by ID. You can see some renders of what looks like the rage cars in the background in late 2002 in one of the interviews. In a keynote by Carmack in 2003 or 2004 he said they were playing around with the idea of a car game and explained how it was to code cars vs weapons. So we know when the idea started. But when it turned into mad max with an asteroid and the rage we know now? No one knows.
+Balc0ra's Gaming I didn't say it draws inspiration from Borderlands. I said it takes influence from games like Borderlands.
@@Gggmanlives that makes it even worse though since it was shown early but the most likely is that both games took inspuration from one another since no game is developed in a bubble
i think this is so under rated, i loved it, apart from the rushed ending, great story, great weapons, great car combat and just overall fun, good review keep em coming old chap
My very first GGGmanlives video that I watched back in December of last year. Ohhh the memories.
This game deserved a sequel
Seems like what GGman says here in this vid is right. Rage could actually be like Borderlands. Both first games are average games at best, trying to gain footing in their custom world and style. But Rage 2 could also be Borderlands 2, with a much better emphasis on story.
As far as I heard, Rage 2 is in production at id (it was one of the games given the green light along with Wolfenstein 2 & The Evil Within 2). So yeah, Rage 2 will be using the id Tech 6 like Doom 4 and Wolf 2. The best part? It won't held down by being an engine pilot game! Which means that id doesn't have to spend too much time "wowing" us with the engine tech demonstrations (Doom 4 has already done that).
I loved it.
There already is. It's called Borderlands 2.
The Vegan Bear No it really didnt...
I think this game gets hated on for no reason. It’s a great game.
I don't see a lot of hate. It just doesn't get discussed a lot at all. I loved it, though.
It’s was my all time favorite game way back when. I played this game so many times at least once a year every year for like 6 years lol
Good review, I'm glad you got around to reviewing this one, I was interested in your take on it
Love ur videos man, thx for listing almost everything about a game in your reviews, just not only ur opinion
Pretty entertaining game in my opinion, we are getting a sequel apparently (revealed that DOOM 2016 had migrated devs from the the RAGE 2 team so it could be finished, now that is out, I assume we'll see a sequel in the next couple of years.
Pretty sure it was cancelled at some point.
It was halted to focus on doom, after quake comes out there might be a chance for a sequel.
Taco Bell i really hope so, if they improve it it would be cool
And you are right, RAGE 2 confirmed
you were right lol
Damn, they should have build on this and create a bigger and better Rage 2 by improving it. This game is so good and just suffered from the lack of Story. More freedom and a simillar playing-style like farcry would have made this a jewel of a game!
Des tero
Lack of fun gameplay too.
Des tero looks like they will.
I'm glad I found your channel, keep up the good work!
the most underrated game reviewer i've ever seen one of the best game reviewer i've actually seen you deserve lots and lots of more subs mate
I remember this hidden gem on the 360. This was always very fun to play, the shooting mechanics were great. Haven't tried Rage 2 yet though
I love the music in the opening cutscene, hauntingly beautiful. Also are you interested in making a video for E.Y.E Divine Cybermancy or Hard Reset?
You mention how good the RAGE music is, and I think that's one aspect of video games we can always appreciate regardless of the actual gameplay quality. Like how I recall you stating dislike for Borderlands, Jesper Kyd's soundtrack is phenomenal in the first two. The town of Firestone's theme in BL2 is hauntingly beautiful and made me well up with BL1 nostalgia so hard.
I actually loved the game. I wasn't expecting anything from it but I really enjoyed the looting/crafting system and variety of weapons. You bring up some good points about it, though.
You put out some really good reviews, man. At 25k subs I suppose you're getting rather large but I hadn't heard of you until recently. Keep up the good shit, man.
It's really sad to see what people say about Rage. I understand most of the problems, and even agree with them, but it's steel kinda satisfying. Solid shooting, great work of the designers, ovearall good graphics. It's just damn shame that Rage was supposed to be something great, but turned out to be something decent, and everyone hate it for it.
I actually really loved this game. Even bought the DLC (which I almost never do), played through that and loved it too.
It was open world (when everyone else was focused on corridors), had really fun characters, incredible shooting and even a simple but addictive card game.
Plus you gotta give it credit for looking soooooo good even in 2016. Seriously, which other game from half a decade ago and claim that? :)
good review, cant wait for you mad max review ;)
too bad you didn't play this game when it was released back in 2011
it was overhyped as a Fallout 3 killer with all the trailers, demos, interviews, techs, etc...
what we got was a 10 hour linear post-apocalyptic tech demo with a repetitive gameplay and side missions and a slap to the face ending
also did i mention that the game was completely broken at launch especially those with AMD graphics card?
I did play it back in 2011 and I enjoyed it then too.
I fully agree it was overhyped and I was extremely disappointed by it.
And racing WTF WAS UP WITH THE RACING I DIDN'T WANT TO DO ANY OF THAT BS.
queenform it wasn't hyped as fallout killer. In fact, Bethesda published this game and is the owner of Id software. They wouldn't branded one of their products against another of theirs, that would be idiotic.
i just picked up this game used for 3 bucks at gamestop. very fun game so far. and would you believe, the anarchy ed. DLC was unused!!!! SCORE!!!!
i still love this game, i remember running out of ammo all the time and resorting to my fists, becoming so used to them i defeated entire waves and bosses!
An excellent game and definitely an underappreciated gem.
Brilliant, detailed graphics, powerful weapons which are fun to use and likeable characters. The ending is really abrupt but other than that i fucking loved Rage.
At the very beginning RAGE is fucking excellent, but the closer you to get to the finale, the worse it gets. However with a proper sequel though, more ways to keep the gameplay fresh and interesting, maybe a bit more emphasis on vehicle combat (either make the races more enjoyable or don't include them at all because I did not find them fun), better enemy variety, less corridor sections and more open battlegrounds, a story that explains more about The Authority like how they came to be, why they want ark survivors so badly, and one which involves you going to war against them, and a FAR better ending than the BS this game had, it could be like 20X better than this game is.
Who would have thought that Rage 1 is still better than Rage 2, i still play this game till this day, such a classic.
Great review! Found it quite cheap at my store, and now knowing that its a good enough game, I'll surely pick it up.
This accent is bloody awesome :)
m8
This game was so disappointing because you could always see the missed potential for greatness that was never fulfilled, be it because of technical limits, time and budget restraints or bad design decisions. I still remember being blown away by the graphics in the 2007 QuakeCon trailer and waiting for this awesome, revolutionary Mad Max-style game it was suppose to be.
Got this game and DLC during steam sale. It's so underrated! It's been a while since I had this much fun with a FPS.
This game deserves a remaster. I have it for the ps3 and i love it. Still do. Even ten years later.
I remember playing this when I was a kid and just staring at Loosum Hagar like :0
Yep, Loosum is very hot!
This is one of the first real FPS games I've ever played. I loved it. Hopefully they make a second iteration
Damn, that just shows how bad FPS games are now days.
Mr. Gibbys
but how much did you pay for the game?
i have found the love of a game sometimes, has a lot to do with what you paid for it, and what you would be willing to pay for it, after you played it.
Oh no you don't. The sequel is shit.
That intro cutscene was amazing
To me Rage was a blast to play. Really enjoyed it, got the platinum trophy on ps3 and considering to play it again on PC. I can understand the complains, but the gameplay ans shooting is amazing and don't ruin the experience for me. Great vid, tks.
For me the best aspect of the game was the level design, I've spent hours just walking around staring at stuff.
I really wanted to like this game. After the first town where you get to modify your car etc. I was already bored. It felt like a slog so I deinstalled it. Maybe one day I'll carry on. I still can't my head around that the Q3A engine which powered practically every shooter game at the time was replaced by "nothing" from Id Software.
If you don't like grinding, try using Cheat Engine.
It'll get you everything from money to racing tickets. Believe me, it's incredibly useful. The best weapon in the game has to be a Shotgun with Pop Rockets, which can one-shot just about all the enemies.
Deinstall? Damn haven't seen that one.
Same
I feel the same as you those racing nonsense were just totally annoying. Have you figured a way to avoid them?
Lassi Kinnunen But borderlands is ugly looking and boring
Out the gate I would just like to say these reviews are a great, subjective, concise and just enough humour. Keep it up GGG!
This game was made through a very uncomfortable time for id, ZeniMax bought them out mid way through production, causing some Devs to leave and opening the door for Betheseda to get its trolling hands on the promising game. That's why Rage seems so underdeveloped.
Let's hope the id Tech 5 engine has been upgraded sufficiently in the Tech 6 version to do the new DOOM justice. If Fallout 4 and Rage are anything to go go by I'm not holding my breath. idthesda it's all on you!!!
dude how do you not have at least 100k subscribers?
I always thought the combat was really cinematic
I don't like tense situations and this game had some hahah enough to make you squirm like when you watch a horror. That's one thing that it does well. I guess it's ID after all think DOOM. I like borderlands too, a lot but it doesn't scare me. It's actually funny they were going for that I know. But rage freaks me out when you enter an area to fight enemies. Music fkn goes creepy, enemies are creepy it's full on.
I mostly just watch your reviews for games I've already played but I like them.
The ausie loving a throwable weapon that comes back.
Can you make a review on the Mad Max game once it's released?
+HairyHog I would like to.
I want a Rage 2. I want it to fix and add new things. A melee system would be cool, adding machetes and bats n stuff.
congratulations king
@@oshycontin it was shit sadly
I remember the resolution-pop found it's way into Dishonored, for prev gen base consoles I think - hindsight I can appreciate different solutions to resource loads being sought, which helps keep the door open for other alternatives and helps our games maintain some individuality in design.
Really awesome intro
I still think this game, despite all its problems, is a lot better than the second one.
I don't get why many people think the combat in this game is amazing. I find the gun play to be underwhelming, the shotgun especially feels weak. The enemies are very annoying too, especially the mutants. The level design is mostly lacking. I played through it mostly for the amazing Mad Max like atmosphere. 6/10
+123doomdoom Shotgun is very effective in this game, often one-shooting an enemy in point-blank range.
+Reloaded2111 The thing is, it just doesn't feel satisfying to use IMO.
123doomdoom
I remember the city full of mutants...
F U C K I N G Hated it.
As usual, Great review man. completely agree with everything you stated.
As a quick suggestion, You should review the Metro games. (metro 2033 and metro last light)
I loved them and wanted to see what you thought on them.
Great video and made me want to try the game out.
One of my Top 10 games of all time, gorgeous Art direction & attention to detail. A vast array of detailed death animations & environments, A fantastic game that was in development "before" Borderlands. I never understood the hate for the game or why it gets nitpicked as much as it does, it's amazing IMO. It plays very smoothly on the Xbox 360 but apparently has performance issues on the PC & texture pop-in on the PS3 ports.
« gorgeous Art direction & attention to detail. »
True, in this domain this game is absolutely fantastic.
vinniecorleone62 OK storm
vinniecorleone62 hello from the international streams
i thought you already reviewed this game a long time ago? 0_o
+breadifish2143 Me too!
Great review!
Thx for doing this review as I've bin waiting for it for a while, I totally agree with you about the repetition and lack of enemy variety but I found the gun play and enemy Ai engaging enough that I never got bored and I've played this game to completion several times. Tell me have you played the wasteland legend missions as well? they are supposed to be co-op missions but you can play them alone and they provide a good challenge as bonus missions.
If you hate point marker races, I take it that you're not a fan of the Midnight Club series?
+Biscuit Eater Elliott I don't like driving games in general.
+Biscuit Eater Elliott Oh no, I looked at the comments before watching the video and you spoiled it for me! :(
Gotcha!
+Gggmanlives Same here
+Gggmanlives What about Burnout 3?
@Lassi Kinnunen Tokyo Xtreme Racer,Gran Turismo,Smuggler's Run,Ridge Racer,come on don't tell me shit now.
There IS so much more to say about RAGE than you did. You find it repetitive. I loved every bit of it. It's a beyond awesome shooter. Shooting is fun & never gets old. It's ID software at it's best. Driving is fun but I share your thought on the beakon racing shit they did there. The only downsides this game got is Bethesda and how they ruined ID with their non existent marketing & forcing them to rush out the game before ID even could complete the second half of it. You feel like this game could've been so much more. There are many other things to complain about. But I won't do that to make a little contrast to what you had to say about it.
EDIT:
and more rant about Bethesda. I can see the thought-pattern here. "Hey, we just aquired the gods of FPS games. Let them produce a shit game for us that copies everything else that is hot on the market right now". I even go so far to say that it's bethesda's fault that ID is in its current identity crisis.
Bethesda is almost every one of their franchises at the moment. The Elder Scrolls gets dumbed down to the point were I fear thar TES 6 will have even less depth and RPG elements than Far Cry 4. And Fallout 4 just shows how they dont give a crap about how greatly Obsidian improved Fallout 3s gameplay. I mean FO4 doesnt even have random critical hits and skills. Thats just so stupid.
He said it got boring because there’s basically only 2 enemy types
Love your reviews. Just wondering but are you going to review the Marathon Trilogy?
+Billy Naing Yeah I plan to.
I was so excited for this game when it came out originally. I'm not even really sure why, but I think I'll always have a soft spot for it in my heart.
I never played a better singleplayer first person shooter.
lmao thats sad. i mean its good but not the best.
The game was great considering the graphic but the end was bad
I liked the ranged enemy ai, they would try to surround you sometimes, at others if you are killing them fast enough and moving aggressively they will try to retreat, and it really does make you feel like a total badass
if you listen carefully, the player's footstep sound fx on pavement are the same ones used in the original call of duty and the assault rifle sound fx from the gearhead and shrouded soldiers is lifted from the BAR, too.
2/10 "Too repetitive, enemies either shoot you or hit you." - Gggmanlives
+jenertXD Yeah because that's exactly what I said.
+Gggmanlives i think borderlands nailed the post apocalyptic theme better withput being post apocalyptic. i didnt get this game for a reason. It's ID software and they should have known better than to release something this shoddy and shamefully piggybacked from borderlands
+jaylex666 Borderlands sucks. It was much more promising before they made it look cartoony. Also, the game was in development long before Borderlands- starting out as a tech demo. So maybe you should do some research.
+DavidMN you can modify the ini to make it less cartoony, or download sweet fx to make the graphics btter, lootfest is what the game is about anyways
qari yeah the same shitty loot over and over again, in the most repetitive way ever.
just bought it for 1.79 euro lol, 1 for me and 1 for my nephew.
i realy love john goodman. hes amazing as an actor.
Well standard enemies are mostly the same stuff yes, but you didn't mention anything regarding the bigger and tougher mutants, sure they are not as common, but sometimes they gave me a run for my money.
Great video as usual, just odd that you of all people missed out on a detail like that.
I really tried to enjoy this game, but i just couldn't
+Yousef Alamer Same man, I really wanted to.
Talk about a missed opportunity
Right? It was just painfully generic to me, couldn't bear playing it.
Yousef Alamer me too, but I would like to give it another go. I don't own it anymore thou. I got it when it came out.
your loss, it's actually a really good game.
I remember toward the end of the game when i'd driven into a little hole in the wall and mowed down approximately 30000 marines, heavy marines and mind controlled mutants with pissweak weapons because i was waiting for the final bossfight. then i pushed a couple of buttons and the game just stopped. talk about anticlimactic
The game puts a shitload of ammo before a boss fight anyways, should've seen it coming lol
Yea…..I literally never used the big gun they give you just before that mission because I thought “hey, let’s save it for the boss fight” boy I feel dumb for that decision.
I loved playing this game at my friends house everytime I went there. :) good times
Nice review and i agree with it all, loved the game and awaiting Rage 2.
I liked this game a lot. Granted the enemies are repetitive. But the environments I liked and the weapons and gadgets add a lot of variety. One of the worst endings ever though.
🦠 „Rage“ is one of these Games, you can still play in 2021…
Especially in Summer, because the low „System-Requirements“ & „Heat-Generation“! 🦠
👍👌
Fair shout. Got it on offer, played through once, was never inclined to return. And yet I'm replaying Unreal.
Rage was one of the first FPS games I ever played and I loved it when I first came out. However, as I get older I start to notice problems with Rage. My biggest issue with it use to be that I just wanted more from it but I started to notice more and you pretty much pointed those issues out Gggman. Today it's still among my top 10 but it's sadly at the bottom of my list. Bioshock now resides at number one.
I already forgot about this game...
better than shitout 4
Naw
Yes. And shitout 3.
RAGE is a perfectly named game, it describes the exact feeling you get when you play a 2 Disc SP FPS and ends on what feels like the 3rd to last level.
I'd love the wingstick in any FPS. That thing was probably the best part of this game. Satisfying, every time.
it's a really boring game. i got to the part here you fight giant mutants. i was so sick of fighting mutants because they go from left and right all the fucking time and it was incredibly annoying, the rest of the game was kinda dull and i hated the fact that after you get the scope for the revolver you can't take it off.(You probably can but i didn't find out how so i just went with it)
I was really entertained by Rage. Until the last chapter and what a morbid, horrible fucking joke it was. And you didn't mention that at all? It feels like if they made the last entire chapter within a few months/weeks in total, what they actually admitted afterwards due to size limitations on the Xbox 360 afaik. The last chapter was an outright insult to me.
xbox 360 always held back the potential of ps3. all games that were on 2 discs on 360 were on only one disc on ps3.
Decided to start playing the game after watching the review. I'm actually enjoying it. More than servicable and with a bit of tweeking, the game still looks gorgeous.
Gunplay feels satisfying and the drivong is responsive and just very good. No grinding, no levelling, just pure exploration and gunplay.
No where near the same level of fun as Doom2016, but it's still a commendable effort.
I loved this game though I know the criticism is well deserved. Thank you for hitting on the animations I was blown away by these when first playing the game.
Am I the only one here who liked the racing/vehicle combat as much as the first person gunplay?
I loved both of them too.
Possible the best single player fps in the xbox360 and ps3 era
+Luis Mediavilla Good joke... Borderlands 2.
true Borderlands 2 is way funnier and if you play it coop is cooler but as a single player and how beautiful it looks for me is the best single player one.
PD: I've finished borderlands 2 4 times all of them in 2 players coop
+Fabian Saam Borderlands 2 is trash for autists and people with OCD. And speaking of good jokes, there are none to be found in that game, only cringe.
sacrisesma Look, we found the idiot troll.
+Fabian Saam borderlands is only fun for a week, and he's right the jokes are shit
another great unbiased review
This game + FUEL + high frequency textures to complement the megatextures + some extra content between outposts = WIN
