Heh, this whole time I had this feeling about the game. It's the only reason I didn't preorder it. I'm going to listen to my gamer instinct a lot more from now on.

lol @ dtiodHeh, this whole time I had this feeling about the game. It's the only reason I didn't preorder it. I'm going to listen to my gamer instinct a lot more from now on.
:edit
Dtiod says fail of you expect something modern, but maybe win if you want "just a shooter". It seems DNF wasn't the only IP come through a worm hole into the future where things are bit different
Nonetheless I'll still give it a spin, but definitely not at buy on release level...

Maybe for good 5-10 mins, but for that time not going to commit to a 15-22 gig download.Buy on torrent level?
I've got so many outstanding games just on steam alone to play it's not even funny, maybe by the time I really can get to it they've sorted out their shit.
I mean next on my play list (after gears 3 is finished) is assassins creed II, gabriel knight 1, machinarium, republic commando, witcher 2. Then still on my AAA shortlist is batman 1 goty, bioshock 2, fallout vegas, deux ex, gta 4, metro 2033, TW napoleon, portal2.
This is excludes all my other titles still needs to be played. Then I have physical retail ones like bayonetta, the darkness, <long list here>.
So lol not worth it at this time to even pirate a game, be just waste of bandwidth, besides who wants to download broken code ?

Classic...Found this quote over at PCGamer, I thought i was appropriate
"Rage it's made by id, who make corridor shooters, if you are looking anywhere but straight ahead you're playing it wrong."

I totally disagree with your statement. It is a developers responsibility to deliver a working product. This tired excuse of 'so many combinations' is frankly irritating. Either you can deliver a product to your audience or you can't.
As a consumer I pay 100% for the product from day 1 to work 100%, not 90% or whatever.

reminds me of a more serious Borderlands and also can't shake the Fallout 3 feelings. The gunplay looks really fun though.

You know what? I agree. It is a lousy excuse. I personally dabble in C++ and OpenGL programming in my free time and I have yet to find and issue were different hardware setups upset my code to where it causes it issues (I have three different rigs for testing, which have different GFX cards and processors). If you provide the correct libraries along with the executable and code for a windows based system, then there are very few cases where the code doesn't function as it should when it is well written. This is merely a matter of a badly ported engine. If they can shake that off they will have a PC gaming gem at hand.

You are quite correct, it's the developer's responsibility to maintain code that is optimized and as bug free as possible. However QA's job isn't just being on the list of people who contributed, they must test properly and make sure what is going out is quality and not quantity. Today's motto is release now and fix tomorrow, because everyone is slapped with good bandwidth and good wallet.
Wonder how Doom IV will do...

I had pre-ordered RAGE for XBOX360 and picked it up at BTGames yesterday. My brother and I wanted to play some co-op first so we popped Disc 3 in. We've played that and some single player and the game is great There is some pop-in of textures but that should be helped with an install of the game (which i have not done yet) and it's hardly game-ruining anyway. I also understand it in a way as for a game development company you have to also be looking to the future and the next-generation of consoles and I think that's what's caused some less than optimal results for the current-gen consoles. At the same time I also understand that, that can't be an excuse. I am also disappointed by poor decisions, like, not being able to pick up weapons from dead enemies and there being no deathmatch in multiplayer. But overall it is a great game, worthy of the id name.
